Chapter 146: Persuading people is a skill after all!
After a pause, Lin Che continued:
"After all, your father is also a generation of virtuous ministers who assist the current Hongwu Emperor. He has experienced life and death on the battlefield. He has never seen any big battles. How can he be manipulated by a boy like you who doesn't even have a hair on his head?"

"When I say this, you may not understand it, but all the principles in the world are clear. You can think about it again from a different angle. Not to say you will suddenly become enlightened, but at least you will be able to understand some of the meaning."

"You should think about it carefully here, am I right?"

"But don't get too carried away!"

The words fall.

For a while, the house was silent.

Lin Che's words were spoken without hesitation, making Zhu Mingdun feel ashamed.

He looked disappointed, his brows furrowed, and he was extremely depressed.

He bowed his head and thought for a while.

Zhu Xiang raised his head and asked:

"Mr. Lin, how did the remonstrators in history persuade the emperor to change his mind?"

"I think my father's advice to his children was either beating or scolding."

"If the emperor doesn't listen to his advice, won't those ministers even risk their lives?"

"Isn't it necessary to divide people?"

Faced with Zhu Xi's repeated questions, Lin Che thought for a moment and replied:

"You're right!."

"This must be determined by people. For example, the current Emperor Hongwu was born in a humble background. He was a monk, a beggar, homeless, and hungry. However, this also caused him to be extremely good at learning, love to learn, and like to use his brain. .”

"Such an emperor is more likely to accept opinions with an open mind."

"Except for Emperor Hongwu, few of the founding emperors of other dynasties had very poor backgrounds. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who was closer to Emperor Hongwu, was at least a pavilion chief and an official of all sizes."

"Emperors like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who accepted advice humbly, can count all the emperors in the past thousands of years on one finger."

"These emperors are well-dressed and well-fed, and their spirits are high. It's not surprising that they don't listen to advice."

Lin Che picked up the slightly cold tea and took a sip:
"Persuading people is, after all, a science. People don't just listen to you because of what you say, not to mention that what you say may not be right, or they may not care at all."

"There is great knowledge in this!"

"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in teaching you these knowledge, but your brother would be fine."

After hearing Lin Che's words, Zhu Ping looked helpless and lowered his head in embarrassment.

After half a day, he raised his head unwillingly and said:
"Mr. Lin!"

"We know that I am stupid, but you can teach me something so that I can use it in the future."

"You can just tell us how much we can learn. It depends on our abilities. You see, we were kicked out of our homes by our father. This is also a dilemma. Sir, please have the heart to let the students suffer at home and in society." ?”

After hearing this, Lin Che put down the tea cup and said without thinking:
"What is there to bear?"

"Just stop bothering me from now on!"

Seeing Zhu Ming with her head drooped and unhappy, Lin Che couldn't hold back her laughter:
"Okay, stop pretending to be wronged in front of me!"

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, so I just want to have a casual chat with you."

"But I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense, don't interrupt!"

"If you chatter in front of me, I will drive you out just like your father..."

"understood?"

heard.

Zhu Ming suddenly became energetic and nodded hurriedly, not even daring to say no.

Lin Che agreed to chat with him, but she actually wanted to teach him knowledge.

Zhu Xi felt happy. "In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the method of persuading people was already popular."

"Although it has been 2000 years ago, there were many more methods and routines at that time than now. Now, the methods of the past have been simplified."

Lin Che picked up the tea cup, looked at Zhu Ping and said:
"You still haven't read enough. If you read more books, especially history books, you will find that things like what happened to you are not a big deal at all, and you don't have to come to me for it. complain!"

"Have you heard of the strategists from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

Facing Lin Che's question, Zhu Xiang suddenly became nervous.

In the university hall, the great Confucians talked about the hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Among them are strategists.

It’s just that I didn’t like studying at that time, so I knew that the most famous among the counselors was Guiguzi. He was a master of the art of war and the originator of the counselors. He was proficient in hundreds of schools of knowledge. Because he lived in seclusion in the mountains and deep valleys, he called himself Mr. Guigu.

The Strategist family is the most mysterious school among the scholars. In addition to Gui Guzi, many famous counselors have also been born.

Su Qin and Zhang Yi are among them.

As for other great Confucianism, all his knowledge was returned.

Seeing that Zhu Feng looked embarrassed when facing this problem, Lin Che did not make things difficult for him and continued:
"To put it bluntly, when future generations of admonishers face the emperor, they will use nothing more than the 'mind control method' of political advisors."

When Zhu Ping heard the word 'mind control method', he was a little speechless:
"mind control?"

"Sir, can this person's mind be controlled?"

"Are you saying that is too outrageous?"

"How do you control this person's mind?"

Seeing that Zhu Xiang's jaw almost dropped in surprise, Lin Che didn't care at all:

"Of course!"

"Don't underestimate the great wisdom of the Chinese sages!"

"We, the descendants, are just standing on the shoulders of our forefathers and continuing their unfinished work..."

"The tactics and strategies in today's officialdom and court are just the tricks left by the sages!"

Gudong!

Zhu Xi listened attentively, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Lin Che's lecture.

So much so that the sound he made when he swallowed his saliva was extremely loud in the quiet room.

Lin Che said nothing after hearing this and continued:

"Historical books classify the political strategists as a sect of hundreds of schools of thought."

"In fact, the scale of the political sect is far smaller than that of other sects such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, but the political strategist is the most suitable for the offensive strategies of emperors and generals. During the Warring States Period, the political strategist's fortune reached its peak."

"Su Qin and Zhang Yi appeared together."

"Hezong is to unite weak countries to resist powerful countries. His representative is Su Qin. During the Warring States Period, he traveled around the six countries to lobby Qi, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Han, and Wei to fight against the powerful Qin."

"Lian Heng is to contact relatively powerful countries to attack weak countries. The main representative is Zhang Yi."

"At that time, the Qin State was facing a siege by six countries and the situation was critical. Zhang Yi, the Prime Minister of Qin State, took the initiative to ask for help and sent envoys to Qi, Chu and other countries to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. After some lobbying, the alliance of the six countries was disintegrated."

"Saved the precarious Qin State."

Speaking of this, Lin Che twisted her somewhat stiff neck, and was immediately noticed by Zhu Ming. She quickly stood up, came behind him, and started kneading hard.

Lin Che was satisfied with Zhu Ping's eyesight and continued:

"If the alliance is about weak countries uniting to fight against the powerful, then the alliance is the best way to break up the alliance."

"Let the enemy disintegrate from within."
