The foundation of Chen Ke's creation, in addition to his brain that is twice the size of a human being, is the knowledge of future generations in his brain. The greatest use of this knowledge is that it allows him to understand himself, solve problems, and look forward to the future in a scientific way.
‘Swart analysis’ is a scientific analysis method commonly used by him. Its advantage is that it considers the problem comprehensively and systematically, and can closely combine ‘comprehensive diagnosis’ and ‘scientific prescription’. It is clear and conducive to clarifying ideas.
Using this method, you can more objectively and accurately find out the factors that are good for you and worth promoting, as well as the things that are bad for you and should be avoided. Discover existing problems, find solutions, and clarify future development.
Direction. It can also help you distinguish which problems are urgently needed to be solved at present, which ones can be postponed a little later, which ones are obstacles to strategic goals, and which ones are tactical problems.
The conclusion drawn from this is more scientific and logical, and it is much better to implement it accordingly than to figure it out in the dark.
"After the analysis is completed, our action plan will come out." Chen Ke said with a smile: "That is, strategically consider the past, base ourselves on the present, focus on the future, tactically leverage our advantages, overcome weaknesses, take advantage of opportunities, and resolve threats.
"
"This method is amazing," Zhao Zongji nodded in approval: "It seems ordinary, but after being sorted out like this, people will have an idea and know which direction to work towards."
"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded and said, "So your top priority is to continue to make a fuss about the negotiations."
"The Liao people have already stopped talking to us. If I try to get involved again, wouldn't I be humiliating myself?" Zhao Zongji said in confusion.
"Hey, why are you so down-to-earth?" Chen Ke sighed and said, "You are still my peace envoy of the Song Dynasty. If you can't speak to the Liao Kingdom, why can't you also speak to the court?" He said with a smile and said: "What do you think?
, is it the people from the Liao Kingdom who can make you the prince, or the people from the Song Dynasty?"
"Cunning..." Zhao Zongji understood. Yes, if you want to build an image, you have to show it to your own people. Now that you have the power but no responsibility, it is a good opportunity to speak out boldly without being responsible. Don't take the opportunity to shock people and attract people's attention.
When will we wait? “What should we do?”
"Before arriving at the border, send an official document to the two governments to explain the whole process of the negotiation in detail. But don't mention the cancellation of the currency. The court has known about it for a long time. By emphasizing it in the letter, you are showing your merit. It doesn't matter if you show your merit, but
You have to consider how Mr. Fu feels. He was deeply ashamed when he was sent as an envoy but received an additional two hundred thousand taels. If you say too much, you will inevitably embarrass Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu is magnanimous and won’t care.
, but some people will give you small shoes to wear in order to please him." Chen Ke said slowly:
"So let's focus on explaining the 'title dispute'. The tone might as well be a little sad and angry. You tell the two ministers that you have given up the idea of Liao Kingdom asking to change 'Emperor Uncle' to 'Emperor Brother'. But they
Now we are asking each other to call each other emperor instead. I fought to the death, but they had no choice but to bypass me and talk directly to the court. But as long as the court insists on not agreeing, they will definitely give up. Please make preparations and think about it first.
How to deal with..."
As Zhao Zongji, of course, he could bypass Zhongshu and write directly to the officials. But Chen Ke reminded him that he must respect the officials. The opinions of the officials have a great influence on the officials. With just one sentence,
It can make your image very good in the eyes of officials. Similarly, it can also make your image fall drastically with just one word.
Since they are peace envoys sent by the imperial court, they should naturally be responsible to the two governments, and should not bypass them and go directly to the emperor. Of course, the emperor must also use a private message to report the whole story in return, otherwise he will only please the two governments.
If you forget the emperor, you will give up the first and pursue the last.
Chen Ke could write official documents to the two governments, but he could only write the letter to the emperor himself: "You should use the attitude of a nephew asking your uncle for help, so that the officials know that you are thinking carefully. The letter should be written as much as possible.
Warmth, the disgusting words that cannot be said in ordinary times, seems very natural in letters, and when expressed in words, the effect is much stronger than speaking."
"In the final analysis, others are secondary, and it's all about the officials. You are not as eloquent as Zhao Zongshi, so you have to seize these opportunities to let the officials feel your affection. Only when the officials value you, will others be able to
I will pay attention to you, this world is such a reality..."
After listening to Chen Ke's analysis, Zhao Zongji opened his mouth indecently: "I didn't expect that there are so many things to do in writing a letter. I now believe that you can take advantage of Dali, and it is definitely not the shitty luck they say."
"Ball!" Chen Ke said with his eyes widened: "Who said I am shitty lucky?"
"Who else can say that?" Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "Who asked you to achieve such unparalleled achievements at such a young age and with such little qualifications? You managed to obtain four thousand miles of rivers and mountains for the imperial court without any effort.
.Furthermore, other people spend money fighting wars, but you make money. Dali's Yunnan copper keeps flowing, which solves the money shortage that has plagued the Song Dynasty for many years. You said, you want all the civil and military officials in the dynasty to dare to say that they are great, and which one dares to say that they have great achievements.
?”
"Hey..." Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said, "I just said that I felt cold after returning to China."
"Well, my father said that people have to be outstanding, but it is not good to be too outstanding. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it." Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "I always thought that this was him giving himself a reason to be lazy. But
Look at those ministers. Ever since the Lord of Dali donated the soil, they have been acting shady and trying to find fault with you... When you build Dongchuan City and Hongshui River, they say it's a waste of money and a waste of money. You issue it.
Bonds don't require money from the court. They asked their servants to snap up the bonds, but they said you were "taking the opportunity to make money with ulterior motives." You built the canal and the city, and they said you wanted to "support your troops and respect yourself" and become the king of Yunnan.
He even brought out your affair with Princess Dali and asked the court to recall you."
"Actually, none of them believe that you will rebel, but they just can't let you stay in Dali. If you continue to toss, and Tubo, Jiaozhi, and Bagan are also concocted, where will you put their old faces?
?”
Chen Ke nodded and said with a wry smile: "I heard that during the two months I was floating on the sea, many people said I was coming soon?"
"Do you know all this?" Zhao Zongji said with an angry face: "It shows how jealous they can be. When they see others excelling, they don't want to see others who are outstanding, but they want you to disappear so that everyone doesn't have to carry you around.
, so that I can continue to dawdle." As he spoke, he pounded the edge of the kang, and said bitterly: "The officialdom has deteriorated to this point, everyone is mediocre, and others are not allowed to make achievements! What hope can such a court have? If it is not completely refreshed,
Fengqi, let alone take back Yanyun, we can’t hold on to our current situation!”
"So from now on, we have to charge alternately," Chen Ke didn't care. He was mediocre if he wasn't envied by others. He was rich, powerful, patient, and not afraid of being tricked. He smiled and said, "You charge for a while."
, I'll take a break, and then you will be beaten into a sieve. Let's switch sides again, and I will attract more firepower." After a pause, he said seriously: "Believe me, being too good is not a problem, it's just that others are not used to it yet.
When they get used to your excellence, they will get used to looking up to you! At that time, not only will they no longer be jealous of you, but they will also take the initiative to defend you."
"So brothers, throw away that vulgar survival wisdom." Chen Ke said solemnly: "Don't be afraid of being outstanding, just afraid that you are not outstanding enough! Send yourself to the top, and the mountains will naturally crawl at your feet!"
Zhao Zongji had to admit that Chen Ke's words were magical and could always arouse the fire in his heart. He nodded heavily and said: "I understand, there is no need to retreat, and there is no need to retreat, and move forward indomitably!"
"Yes!" Chen Ke nodded heavily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhao Zongji's letter was sent like this. However, the princes did not reply to him, and the officials did not reply... Although there was a difference between the top and the bottom, neither the officials nor the prime ministers had to reply to him, but this feeling of being like a bull in the sea inevitably makes people uneasy.
.
"Is there anything wrong with our handling?" Zhao Zongji asked uneasily along the way.
"No." Chen Ke said firmly: "Correct handling will definitely bring good results, but sometimes, the results are invisible."
Not long after, the delegation crossed the border river and returned to the Song Dynasty. As expected, they found that the border line was much more tense than when they went there. Thousands of soldiers and large groups of carriages and horses made the wide official road seem crowded.
"This is the result of you making trouble over nothing." Zhao Zongji said angrily.
The two Liao people were also shocked. One of the reasons they threatened the Song Dynasty was that the Song Dynasty did not abide by the rules and forgot the agreement of the Chanyuan Alliance. They increased troops on the border, built forts, and dug trenches. But those were all excuses, especially
The so-called reinforcements were nothing more than temporarily recruited militiamen. But at this time, the border was covered with regular troops of the Song Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of civilians worked day and night to build forts and dig deep trenches. They were completely prepared for war.
It seems that the people of Song Dynasty really took it seriously this time. The two of them were very frightened. Their country was not ready yet. If there was a fight, wouldn't they suffer a big loss?
As a result, both groups of people arrived in Bianjing, which was still prosperous, with a feeling of apprehension. The Liao envoy was led by his companions to the Liao Embassy Posthouse to rest.
On Nanmen Street, the mission that had shared weal and woe for nearly half a year was about to be disbanded on the spot. Zhao Zongji went to the Political Affairs Hall to pay errands, and Chen Ke, Old Master Zhao and others could finally go home.
Everyone clasped their fists together and said thank you for your hard work.
Looking back on the ups and downs and sufferings of the past six months, I probably just wanted to get through them quickly at the time, but looking back now, I really enjoyed the hardships and hardships along the way.
Today we have to go our separate ways, and we may still be different in the future, but in our hearts, there is a common memory that can make us smile knowingly even when we are facing each other...
