Playing the emotional card is another trick Xiao Chen learned from Liao Xianghe.
Since positive persuasion is ineffective, try it from another angle and you may have unexpected results.
During the Lantern Festival, Patriarch Wang was thinking about how the people in the town would go. As an old friend of his, he should be moved when he encounters difficulties.
"Hundreds of officials jointly signed a letter? What are you accusing you of? This Cangcheng is disrespectful to Ziyi and disrespectful to the emperor. You are very kind by not killing him among the nine tribes. Could it be that all the officials in the court no longer respect the imperial power?
Are you worried?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Patriarch Wang had an expression of disbelief on his face.
On the first day after the emperor gave him the purple robe, he dared to fight against him. Is this Cangcheng brainless, or has his brain been kicked by a donkey?
The same goes for the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government. Cang Cheng's fate has already been laid out, and they are still rushing forward one by one. Even if Xiao Chen is punished, will he be able to live a good life after this incident?
What's more, in order to protect his own face, the emperor would never agree to the request of the officials. Let alone a joint letter, even a joint letter with "order", what's the use?
"The principle is such that governing the world is not a matter for one person. The emperor is strategizing, but without the implementation of hundreds of officials, how can this series of decrees be carried out? If they are all dealt with, the entire court will be paralyzed, and the emperor will be difficult to
Ah." Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed appropriately, looking concerned about the country and the people.
Looking at Xiao Chen's expression, Duan Tianming next to him was a little confused.
Xiao Chen usually looks fearless. Today, he not only kept sighing, but also had such a rich expression. What on earth does this guy want to do?
The royal family chief stood up, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the purple bamboo standing by the courtyard wall in the severe cold. He was silent for a moment and said lightly: "The kneeling imperial power cannot govern the strutting Ming Dynasty. The emperor is so tolerant,
They are just laying hidden dangers for Ming Dynasty."
"In my impression, the emperor is not such a person. His temporary forbearance may be just an observation before the big reshuffle." Looking back, the royal family leader looked at Xiao Chen with a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Chen was also stunned. He didn't expect the royal family leader to say such a thing.
"Does the royal family chief think so highly of the current emperor?"
"Haha." A bright smile bloomed on the face of the royal family leader, and a sense of confidence appeared in his eyebrows: "With the strength of the vassal king, he has gone through many hardships and stood at the highest point of power in the Ming Dynasty. How can our emperor be an ordinary person?
?A dynasty should be governed by people with strength and courage. It can withstand thousands of troops, but it is powerless against a group of civil servants? Maybe Brother Xiao, like me, doesn’t believe this."
Instantly, Xiao Chen felt a strong sense of failure in his heart.
Playing the emotional card against the royal family leader obviously doesn't work.
It's not that the royal family leader has no feelings for him. Xiao Chen believes that in the royal family leader's mind, he must take himself seriously.
However, the gaze of the royal family leader was too sharp. Everything was transparent in front of him.
It is obviously impossible to achieve your own goals through deception.
Moreover, Xiao Chen felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart because he wanted to use some tricks against such an upright person like Patriarch Wang.
If you want a royal family leader to serve as an official in the court, you can only communicate with him head-on.
"Clan Chief Wang, how do you feel about the emperor's management of the entire Ming Dynasty?" Xiao Chen asked seriously as he looked at Chief Wang.
"The present emperor is both civil and military, lenient and strict, knows people well and is good at assigning tasks. He is greedy for time, uses troops to adapt to changes, and is resourceful and brave. Where there are natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, he will provide rent-free relief, honor and speak out, and protect the meritorious officials. The surrounding small countries that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty will
There are more than thirty. Compared with before, the Ming Dynasty at this time was extremely powerful."
It seems that he is extremely satisfied with the current Ming Dynasty, and the royal family leader said with pride.
Seeing the royal family leader's affirmation of the court, Xiao Chen seemed to see a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Chief Royal, I wonder where your family motto, 'never enter the court as an official', comes from? Is it passed down from generation to generation?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
The royal family leader was stunned, and seemed to understand Xiao Chen's meaning instantly. He smiled faintly and said: "Of course group training is passed down from generation to generation. Could it be that Brother Xiao thought it was just made up because I didn't want to serve as an official in the court?
What?"
"No, no." Xiao Chen smiled and hurriedly explained.
"I want to say that since it is the ancestral precepts of the royal family chief, then I no longer know which dynasty passed it down. There is nothing wrong with following the ancestral precepts, but times have changed. Now the Ming Dynasty is employing people, and the emperor knows people well.
Ren. Should Clan Royal Chief broaden his mind and consider contributing his own strength to the Ming Dynasty?"
Staring into the eyes of the royal family leader, Xiao Chen's face was full of expectation.
"I have always cared about everything in the world, but how can I say that the ancestral teachings have been abandoned here, and I still feel a little guilty in my heart. I can't directly agree to Brother Xiao, can you allow me to think about it."
The royal family leader put away his smile and said seriously.
"Of course, of course. If the royal family chief agrees to me right away, it will be beyond my expectation. I am waiting for the royal family chief to join the court and become an official. Together, we can assist the emperor and govern the world."
Xiao Chen clasped his fists and saluted the royal family leader.
In the courtyard, the midday sun shines on the purple bamboo beside the courtyard wall, making it a emerald green.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" A childish cry came from the yard, and then a small figure rushed into the door of the living room and ran towards Xiao Chen.
"San'er." Xiao Chen opened his arms, waiting for Xiao Yu's arrival. With such tenderness on his face, who would have thought that he was a purple-clothed captain given by the imperial court to kill countless high-ranking officials.
He immediately pounced on Xiao Chen's body, holding Xiao Chen's neck with both hands and hanging his legs in the air like a monkey.
Xiao Chen retracted his arms, hugged San'er directly, reached out and pinched his red face: "How many words have you learned from sir during this time?"
Xiao Yu chuckled: "I can already write all of the Three Character Classic."
"Okay, okay, San'er is really smart." Xiao Chen smiled and pinched his cheek again.
Butler Wang, who was carrying a basket behind him, also walked into the hall with a smile.
"He is not only learning to read, but he has also been practicing basic boxing skills with me recently. He is a diligent and motivated child."
"Is that so? Come, stand up and let me see." After saying that, Xiao Chen put Xiao Yu down and asked him to demonstrate.
A servant walked in, bowed slightly and faced the royal family leader: "Sir, the Lantern Festival is ready. Do you want to serve it?"
"So fast? Bring it up, bring it up." The royal family chief was stunned, and then he called everyone, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Let's eat the Lantern Festival first and celebrate the festival together."
"It's time to eat Lantern Festival." Xiao Yu let go and ran to the back hall.
