Chapter 86 Section 6 The Way of the Emperor

Listening is a science.A good listener can create a kind of aura around you, and people can't help but have the desire to slobber. If you don't call to stop, you can only spray continuously until you become a mummy or a mummified corpse.Li Si is such a good listener. Lonely people usually don't like to talk.Arrogant people usually don't like to talk.Yingzheng combines loneliness and arrogance all over the body, and he is even more stingy with his words. With Li Si's good listening skills and Ying Zheng's stingy words, what will happen?Is Li Si's ears callused or Ying Zheng reneging on his promise?

It should be said that the current Li Si and Yu Yingzheng are half-teacher and half-friend.Since Li Si proposed to Yingzheng the idea of ​​unifying the six countries, Yingzheng has observed and thought a lot.He just needed a listener like Li Si. Originally, today's official topic was about confirming Wang Wan as Lang Zhongling, but Ying Zheng suddenly became interested in talking and took the initiative to expand the topic. Ying Zheng said in a confiding and communicative tone: "I have something to think about, and I would like to discuss it with my husband. To govern the country, you must first govern the officials, and to govern the officials, you must first choose the officials. The widow's thirteen ascended the throne. First, Lu Buwei was in charge of the country alone, and then Lai Ai Divide up. The two are in the dynasty, appoint cronies, and reject dissidents. Although there are many people who are attached to them, those who resent are even greater. The so-called resentment is those who are in official careers, but they are not lucky enough to see Lv and Lv. Among them, there is nothing. Those who have talent and ability, can they be appointed to do things? I want to choose and use them. I use my ability and reuse my grievances to divide the power of Lai and Lv. This is the choice of officials at present. I am unworthy, Don't dare to follow the footsteps of the king. The old officials and ministers can maintain success together, but they can't create together. The widow wants to abandon it and not use it. The widow uses it, and it must be like Mr. Wang Wan and the like. , It’s like a newly sharpened dagger, when it’s sharp, only then can you be brave enough to face the enemy and fight hard, first worry about the master, and then for yourself. If the destiny belongs to the few, you can follow it like a generation.”

The listener is like a referee in a football game. The higher the level, the less people feel his presence. Therefore, the conversation is like quicksilver, and the game is like flowing water. The more Ying Zheng talked, the more excited he became, while Li Si seemed to be transparent.Yingzheng went on to say: "People govern ministers, just like hunters rule eagles. Take their backs and control them when they are hungry and full. You can't make them full or hungry. If you are hungry, you will not have enough strength, and if you are full, you will fly on your back. The old officials Veteran ministers, they are full-fledged eagles, full of fat and shameless. They only wish to sit in the place of a vegetarian meal. They are content with wealth and honor. They are not happy with rewards and not afraid of punishment. They are not beneficial to others, and how can they be driven by others? But Wang Wan and his like are like eagles on an empty stomach. Their fame has not yet been established, their rank and salary are not high, and they are also in their prime of life. Their wings are sharp and their claws are sharp. If they are rewarded, they will be happy, but if they are punished, they will be afraid. It is beneficial, and the power of its claws and wings can be received by the widow. This is the choice of officials in the long run."

At that time, Ying Zheng already understood the reason why the cadre team should be younger, but the theoretical basis is quite different from today's. After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Li Si couldn't help wondering, who taught him these principles when Ying Zheng had been in the deep palace for a long time?Or, as Zhang Liang called Liu Bang in later generations, his talent is almost a gift from heaven? On the other hand, Li Si was both honored and afraid that Ying Zheng was so open-minded and outspoken.Ying Zheng's words were dark and cold, and they could really be called unspeakable private words, only his close friends were eligible to share them with him.Li Si is self-aware, he is by no means a close friend of Ying Zheng's boudoir, he is just a courtier of Ying Zheng, and he is valued and trusted by Ying Zheng for the time being.However, it may not be an auspicious omen for the monarch to explain the way of governing his subordinates to his subordinates.It may be more dangerous to share a prince's secret thoughts than to share his overt power.
