298: Use the Weak to Get the Strong, Use the Rape to Control the Good
"Does Your Majesty still have doubts in his mind?"
Wu Zhongxian raised his cup, with a calm expression, and he and the empress were making wine and discussing the world!
It's a pity that Zhu Mingyue is confused at this moment...
Why?
How can we say that when the people are strong, the country will be weak?
And her majesty has also become weaker?
I couldn't think of any reason in my mind. After thinking about it, I also felt that this was very different from the previous series of strategies of Ming Dynasty.
It's really hard to figure out what went wrong here...
Zhu Mingyue shook her head. She was more than a little confused.
It's basically a turbulent sea, and the entire worldview is gradually collapsing.
This is really shocking and completely contrary to what she had learned before!
So, she asked with difficulty.
"The students really don't understand what the teacher said."
Changed, everything has changed!
Zhu Mingyue's eyes were very serious, looking at Wu Zhongxian, wanting to know how much knowledge the other party had.
And she also took the initiative to call the other party Mr. and called herself a student...
In ancient times, it was not common for emperors to treat virtuous people with courtesy.
Because in this era, the king is heaven!
The so-called imperial power refers to the trinity of heavenly power, imperial power, and divine power.
But Zhu Mingyue, an empress, called Wu Zhongxian sir. This was a polite title.
But calling himself a student is deviating from politeness...
People call people with this profession, Imperial Masters!
Wu Zhongxian ignored Zhu Mingyue's words of admiration for him.
What is the use of verbal persuasion?
Humph! I need to change my mind to another place!
On the side, the personal female officer who came to deliver tea had an expression on her face that she couldn't stand listening.
She had been listening to the two of them, making tea.
But the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong... What's going on? Why can't we strengthen the people? Why is the Ming Dynasty weak...
This seems to be the rhythm of tyranny!
If the people are suppressed and they can no longer survive, wouldn't it mean that they would rise up and directly rebel against the king and attack Kyoto?
What if someone among this group of rebels shouted that the enemy is at Honnoji Temple?
Then didn’t the Ming Dynasty’s well-written script of resisting the Qin Dynasty evolve into capturing the empress alive?
Can't do it, can't do it...
But at this moment, His Majesty has obviously been deceived, and Xiaoshi's appearance at this moment is just thinking about...
The current majesty must be mummified!
She stepped forward politely, and after adding some tea to the two of them, she heard the empress ask again.
"Why can't we strengthen the people? Why do we say that Ming Dynasty is short of money, and why do we say that Ming Dynasty is a powerful country?"
Zhu Mingyue was really puzzled: "According to what Mr. Wang said, weren't the emperors before the Ming Dynasty all people who were buried in corpses?"
Wu Zhongxian shook his head: "It's not that serious, but all the kings of the Ming Dynasty were derelict in their duties. This is for sure."
The female officer Xiaoshi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"Ahem! Your Majesty...this person's words to all the kings of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Little poem!"
Before she could finish her words, Zhu Mingyue immediately stopped her and gave her a fierce look.
He also said something to her.
"Sit here and listen. Don't talk too much and disrupt the teacher's lecture!"
Small poem: "..."
Ah this...
Her Majesty said so, and it was hard for her to say anything.
But fortunately, I have the qualification to be an observer, so that's it.
If it is this thief! If he dares to speak nonsense again and confuse His Majesty.
Then I will beat this thief to death even if I risk my own life!
Back in the Stork Tower... I had already seen your true face! Wu Thief!
Xiao Shi endured the resentment in her heart, pretended to be calm, and sat down quietly.
Wu Zhongxian looked at the maid and his eyes lit up.
She is indeed a very handsome beauty...
Moreover, he is loyal and treats the empress so well, which is not bad.
But right now, I still have to teach the Empress something real.
What Wu Zhongxian said came from one person.
Shang Yang.
In the previous life, during the troubled times of the Seven Kingdoms, Da Qin implemented Shang Yang's national policy and swallowed up the entire Seven Kingdoms and unified the world!
And his strategy is actually difficult to say and simple to say...
That is to turn all citizens into tool men, constantly sacrificing themselves for the growth of the country!
Some people in later generations simplified his theory.
It's a book with little reputation, but its content is very frightening.
However, this is an extremely useful skill for superiors!
So, Wu Zhongxian said to the empress.
"Your Majesty doesn't know something..."
"The so-called weakening of the people does not mean that the people should die, but that the people cannot be made strong!"
"When a person becomes powerful, he will gradually monopolize all the resources in his area, so he also becomes the mountain king of a small world."
"In this way, the people will not be able to listen to what the government says, and they will have to listen to what the mountain king says instead."
"Gradually, as these mountain kings became stronger, they turned into another group of ministers..."
Wu Zhongxian spoke categorically, raised the cup to his mouth, and looked at Zhu Mingyue with pointing eyes, prompting.
"The so-called thief steals a pearl, but a thief steals a country!"
"They have become princes..."
Zhu Mingyue felt like she had figured something out.
Isn't this what the Ming Dynasty was like before? It was impossible to direct the ministers to do things. Instead, these ministers were allowed to eat up the resources of the Ming Dynasty, making the emperor of the Ming Dynasty feel exhausted!
It's simply a matter of being helpless.
And Wu Zhongxian continued.
"So, we must limit the power of this group of people and not allow them to become kings!"
"But this is just a way of blindly weakening the people. Once the policy is implemented, it cannot be changed. If the people are aware of it, their public opinion will be turbulent. In the long run, they will become alienated from morality."
"So, we still need to give them a certain amount of room to rise!"
"That means the government needs to step forward!"
Wu Zhongxian said slowly: "In a word, let a person with good ability who could have become a king enter the government and become a person who can be used by the Ming Dynasty. But how to make him a person in the government?"
"Then it's all about money."
Zhu Mingyue asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by this?"
Wu Zhongxian said with a smile: "As long as capable people are used by the government, no matter whether they are aristocratic families or noble families... they will have no support from the public."
"And Ming Dynasty only needs to spend money to complete this matter."
"So, Your Majesty, now the Ming Dynasty has everything ready, all it needs is a few taels of silver!"
This is just the first move of Wu Zhongxian's policy.
The so-called use the weak to defeat the strong, and use the evil to control the good...
As long as it is implemented once it is implemented, if nothing else is said, it would be nonsense to say that the Ming Dynasty still wants to return to the previous situation.
