Chapter 301 Is it a wolf or a dog?
The biggest problem of civil servants is not that they like to form cliques to exclude dissidents, nor do they play with power to torture the people, but that they are very bad at using force as a bargaining chip to negotiate with outsiders, let alone showing off their power.

When encountering external disputes, they either resort to violence lightly or avoid it deeply, preferring to compromise and retreat rather than fight bravely.These two completely different performances actually have the same reason, an extreme understanding of war and a lack of confidence in their own strength.

Letting a group of people who have never been on the battlefield control a war machine is like letting top students from the Chinese Department of Peking University go to Syria to fight in street battles. There is no specific concept of war in their minds, only fragments of words from books.

As soon as you hear the gunshot, you will fall into the emotions of urgency, timidity, fear, and helplessness. The solution you come up with will most likely be a mixed bag, which is really not as effective as a child who grew up in the local area and has never been to school for a day.

Hong Tao does not intend to improve the basic quality of these officials. He has no time and no need.They are destined to be temporary passers-by and will be phased out within a few years.Instead of spending a long time and getting half the result with half the effort, it would be more efficient to find some white paper and sketch it out again.

But you can't just let it take its course. Some of your thinking patterns and work habits must be made known to them. It's best if they can accept it. If you can stay in the official position for two more years, your future prospects won't be too bad.If you can't accept it or don't want to change, there is only one way out. Make a mistake and be demoted home, and give up your position.

"...South, south! Your Majesty, can you tell me where it is?" Ye Xianggao is the type who accepts things quickly, and he is also trying to change, trying to keep up with the emperor's rhythm.Unfortunately, the frequency is too fast, and sometimes I can't keep up.

"Annan has not paid tribute for a long time and has despised the emperor. I can tolerate it but the emperor cannot. I will rain down thunder to punish him a little. What do you think, the great scholar?"

What reason should we find to explain the navy's behavior of robbing Fan Bang's cities and kidnapping Fan Bang's king?In fact, this is the best job to do. You don’t need to be educated or have a position at all. You can just go to the street and recruit a peddler to do it.

Whenever one person wants to cause trouble for another person, he or she cannot escape even if the other person stays at home every day.You are avoiding me on purpose, why are you not wearing a hat, who asked you to wear a hat, and what are you looking at...all are very good reasons.

"...As far as Wei Chen knows, there is an ongoing war in Annan for the throne, and he has not deliberately despised our court." Ye Xianggao was no better than a peddler and a pawn. He didn't understand the emperor's meaning and was still arguing with reason.

"For such a big matter as the change of the throne, if you decide on your own without asking for instructions in advance, where will you put me? Do I only deserve to be notified afterwards? For such unfaithful and unfilial people, a thunderous thunder is heaven's grace.

There is no need to persuade the bachelor. Governor Yuan's navy has already left the port. If he has time to plead guilty to Annan, he might as well think more about how to draft the decree.It must be written confidently and confidently, fully demonstrating the inviolable dignity and magnanimity of our Ming Dynasty...

To put it bluntly, the fault must all be the fault of the Annan people. The Ming Dynasty did not send troops to intervene or invade, but it could not bear that its people were trapped in fire and water, so the benevolence of God came to rescue them.Anyone who is ungrateful is a traitor who goes against God’s will, and everyone will be punished! "

In fact, civil servants are not useless at all. For example, they can write articles for the emperor that are very subtle or not subtle, but are quite subtle for the people to see. They can describe white things as black, but people unconsciously agree with them.

Hong Tao asked himself that he could do all kinds of shameless things, but he really couldn't write the diplomatic rhetoric of calling a deer a horse and making flowers bloom, so he had to enlighten Ye Xianggao so that he could fully understand the leader's intention.

"...This, this...I obey the decree..." The emperor had already taken off his disguise and spoke in plain language. Ye Xianggao must have understood, and then he became a little confused. His face turned green and red for a while, and his breath was disordered.It took a while before he stammered a response, but his face was lowered.

Self-esteem has been ravaged, and the most precious things of cultural people have been crushed to pieces in the face of power.I had the intention to refuse him face to face, but I didn't dare to do it even though I tried several times. I had enough urge to urinate.Thinking about the fate of Shen Li, Li Tingji, Wen Chun and others, Ye Xianggao could only choose to surrender.

I am not particularly afraid of death, but I am afraid that my family will be implicated.On the surface, the emperor was very tolerant and generous, and even avoided the custom of plotting rebellion and killing the three clans.But keeping the family but losing their property and status, and being unable to recover for several generations, is more cruel than killing them directly, it is heart-breaking! "Long live this action is inappropriate. Mr. Ye Ge has lost face and must hold a grudge in his heart. At this time, the court has not returned to its original intention, so we should not act too hastily."

Seeing the chief minister of the cabinet hiding his face and running away, Wang An couldn't help but give some advice.He had very frequent contact with the cabinet and was unwilling to see the emperor and the cabinet become opponents again.Not only would this make the Supervisor of Ceremonies a bit cynical, it would also do no good to the court and the imperial power.

"There must be resentment, but he dare not hate. Remember, there are two types of officials, and there are only two types. One is like Li Zhi, who persists in his heart and does not flinch in the face of death; the other is like Academician Ye, who has too many fetters in his heart , the more you look forward and backward, the more reluctant you are to die. If it were up to you to choose, which one should you choose?"

"Well... naturally I will choose Governor Li. If all the courtiers are courageous, upright and upright people, the world will be in great order!"

If there were another emperor, Wang An would not dare to answer such a question even if he were killed. It would be too dangerous and he would be killed in minutes.But facing the emperor who had been studying with him since he was a young prince and who still trusted him after he ascended the throne, private questions and answers were no longer so restrictive.

But I really don’t know which kind of person to use. Each of these two types of people has its own advantages and disadvantages. Logically speaking, one size does not fit all.But the emperor must have a purpose in asking this question, and he must carefully understand the holy intention before answering.

"What the hell! You will die miserably, not by the enemy, but by the upright person you choose. Remember my words, the former cannot be used without [-]% certainty. They are like two pairs of people. A sword can hurt others or yourself. If you can't control it, it's best to destroy it.

Have you ever seen a hunter driving a pack of wolves to hunt?It's simply impossible, you have to use a dog, and only a dog is willing to be obedient and bite whoever you let him bite.Even if a dog was once a wolf, as long as he surrenders once, he will always be a dog and can no longer be a wolf.

If you want to do things, you must use the latter. They know how to choose and how to advance and retreat, and they can lower their heads and bend their waists.You only need to be able to distinguish what is right from wrong. There is no need for all your subordinates to understand, and there is no need to argue all the time. "

It's a pity that this time I didn't understand the idea well. Not only did I not get praise, I was also scolded by Tou Tou.No, it shouldn't be regarded as a lesson, but more like education. The emperor is teaching himself how to be an official.It's just that the metaphor is a bit too hurtful. It can be said that most civil and military officials are like dogs, or even worse than dogs.

"Then slave, let's be a dog. Being a dog for Long Live Lord is much better than being a wolf outside." Fortunately, I don't care about being a dog, as long as I only play the role of a dog for one person.

"Well, that's the truth... I just don't know where my wolf is now." Hong Tao never cared about this kind of verbal surrender.

The so-called quality of loyalty is contrary to human nature, so no one is required to be absolutely loyal to oneself.Everyone is just using each other, the only difference is the amount of chips.

Whoever has more chips can take the initiative, and whoever has less chips can only be passive. It's as simple as that.Once the chips in your hand are low or gone, you may not have the chance to be a dog to others.

Having said this, his eyes involuntarily glanced out the window.In the distant southern sea, there is a wolf fighting for more chips for itself.It is a lie to say that you are absolutely sure of success. In everything, you should always leave [-]% for God.
