While Zhu Di was deep in thought, the father and son next door were not idle either. They started to think about Su Bai's question.
Zhu Yuanzhang placed his hands behind his back and paced around the table with a serious expression.
Princes, civil officials, and generals were the three factions.
Coincidentally, it was the most difficult problem at the moment.
The civil officials formed cliques to balance the imperial power.
The generals were arrogant and lawless.
The prince was lazy and had no desires.
How could he use Su Bai's plan to achieve the ultimate effect of the three sides fighting each other and the emperor taking advantage of the situation?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and kept shaking his head in denial. He was in a dilemma.
Just as Zhu Di had predicted, even though Zhu Yuanzhang could see through people's hearts, he did not have superb planning abilities.
The necessary big picture view was really lacking.
It seemed like a simple question, but he just didn't feel that it was appropriate!
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his fist and looked very annoyed. He turned to look at Zhu Biao, who was in a daze.
"Has Boss figured it out yet?"
"Mr. Su's question might be difficult for Fourth Sister, but it shouldn't be difficult for you.”
Hearing this.
Zhu Biao almost burst into tears. He wanted to kneel down in front of his father.
The conditions were so harsh and the restrictions were so complicated. How could it be so easy to say?
He thought too highly of himself!
"Your son did not know. Please forgive me, Imperial Father."
Zhu Biao was honest and did not pretend to be fat. He said frankly,
"Teacher Su's teaching method of using history as a mirror is not only unique, but also shocking. Your son is lacking in knowledge and knowledge, and has yet to understand the essence of it.”
Seeing the Crown Prince's confidence thwarted, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and walked forward. He fixed his son's collar and comforted him,
"Alright, don't look so sad.”
"Even the emperor is not omniscient and omnipotent. Knowing people and making good use of them is the way of the king!”
"As long as you can use this sharp sword, Su Bai, the Ming Dynasty will definitely expand its territory and succeed in every endeavor!”
Zhu Biao pursed his lips and nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
"You brat, your luck is good! With Mr. Su assisting you in the future, I can completely rest assured.”
"Back when we were conquering the world, if we had Mr. Su's help, we could have pacified the world at least three years earlier!”
At this moment.
Su Bai's voice came from behind the wall and immediately caught the father and son's attention.
"What do you think?"
Su Bai was a little sleepy after eating and drinking. He yawned and said:
"I'm almost out of wine. If it really doesn't work, I'll give it to you as homework.”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Di suddenly woke up and shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Don't!"
"If you don't tell me today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.”
"I think I have some clues, but I don't know if I'm right."
Su Bai said impatiently when he saw him squeaking:
"Tell me first. Don't waste time and be long-winded.”
Zhu Di did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly stood up and bowed. He said respectfully,
"What I want is to use civil officials to provoke the generals first, then"
"Wrong, the first step was wrong, and it was a huge mistake!”
"Ah?"
Hearing Su Bai's voice, Zhu Di was completely confused.
The Ming Dynasty had not been established for long, and there was no lack of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals.
Relying on his military achievements, he bullied men and women and committed all kinds of crimes.
Even the old man was at a loss. As long as it wasn't too excessive, he would turn a blind eye.
Shouldn't they suppress such a huge force?
"When I was talking about land annexation, I should have mentioned using literature to subdue martial arts, right?”
Su Bai narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"What's wrong? If I don't explain it in detail, you won't?”
"Don't call yourself the descendant of a family of generals in the future. I'm afraid that your father will beat you to death if he hears this!”
Zhu Di: "???"
"Listen carefully, I'll only say it once."
Su Bai's blood pressure was getting a bit high. He said in a bad mood:
"Have you forgotten how the Song Dynasty perished? Using literature to subdue martial arts was courting death!”
"Before the Song Dynasty, how many military merits were awarded?”
"After the Song Dynasty's comprehensive imperial examinations, the civil servants became a group with a fixed interest. They didn't have to go to the front line and could just hide in the back and talk.”
Bang!
Su Bai put down the wine bowl and continued:
"There's also the Yuan Mo closest to us. The famous general of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuotuo Timur, defeated Zhang Shicheng until he threw away his armor and even turned the tables.”
"But in the end? The villains in the court slandered and slandered Tuotuo Timur. They were worried that Tuotuo Timur would raise an army to rebel. The emperor summoned him back with an edict and poisoned him.”
"This is the outcome of using literature to subdue martial arts!”
"Could it be that you still want Big Ming to walk their old path?”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping, was shocked.
He caught the key words of the conversation: A comprehensive imperial examination!
It seemed like Teacher Su was also extremely dissatisfied with the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty?
Yes!
Fortunately, I've already suspended the imperial examinations. Otherwise, I'd be the one being scolded now…
......
......
"Mr. Su, please calm down first. It's my fault for not considering things thoroughly."
Zhu Di lowered his head sadly and admitted his mistake. He said hesitantly,
"However, the most powerful party right now is Huaixi Xun. If we leave it alone, there's no guarantee that something will happen.”
Su Bai shook his head and laughed:
"Don't worry, it won't be chaotic. It will take at least thirty years, at most eighty years. When the noble generals see the civil officials and gentry, they will have to kneel down and call them grandfather.”
！！！
Zhu Di's eyes widened when he heard this, and his aura instantly changed.
The civil and military officials of the past dynasties were not very compatible, so he was definitely more inclined to be a general.
Moreover, whether it was protecting the country or expanding the territory, they had to rely on the generals. Why should they be bullied by the weak civil officials?
"Impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
"Why?"
Facing Zhu Di's loud shouting, Su Bai smiled:
"Because the Great Ming Dynasty cannot repeat the founding of the country forever, but it must restart the imperial examinations!”
The moment he finished speaking, there was complete silence.
Not only was Zhu Di, who was filled with righteous indignation, silent, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was supporting himself against the wall, widened his eyes in disbelief.
"The Great Ming Dynasty cannot repeat the founding of the country forever, but it must restart the imperial examination."
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered in shock.
As everyone knew, it was difficult for a family to produce a tiger.
It was normal for a father to be a hero and a son to be a bastard. When there was no war to fight, there was no inheritance.
But civil officials were completely different. Even if there were no imperial examinations now, they were still accumulating their strength, waiting for the day when they would explode.
Who was strong and who was weak, the difference was obvious!
Without the imperial examinations, there would be no new blood in the imperial court.
The Imperial Examinations had many drawbacks and would step on the generals step by step.
At the thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang pinched his eyebrows and realized the seriousness of the matter.
The problems left behind by the imperial examination system had to be resolved as soon as possible!
Using literature to subdue martial arts was definitely not possible!
Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind!
On the other side of the wall.
Zhu Di sat back down in frustration and said in a bad mood,
"Is there any way to solve it?”
"Of course there is."
Su Bai glanced at him and spread his hands:
"This brings me back to my initial question. How do I use the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf?”
"We now know that civil officials are the most powerful, generals the least powerful, and princes are the most loyal to the emperor.”
"In terms of personality, civil officials are good at scheming, generals are arrogant and despotic, and princes are lazy and uncompetitive.”
Su Bai leaned against the wall and explained methodically:
"The factors and personalities have been listed. We will now begin to break the situation.”
Zhu Di nodded solemnly. He did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would miss out on the details.
"In times of peace, civil officials always have more power and say than generals.”
"Therefore, we will first give the generals a hint and tell them not to admit defeat. The Emperor will protect you.”
"Generals usually have bad tempers. With the emperor's tacit approval, they will definitely launch an all-out attack.”
"Civil officials are also people who are skilled in calculations, so they definitely won't have a direct conflict with the generals. This is because a direct conflict won't necessarily benefit one's side. Civil officials are smart people, and they won't take the bait easily.”
Su Bai rubbed his chin and teased,"
"At this time, we will issue a clear decree to the prince to restrain the generals. Don't be afraid of causing trouble.”
"In the eyes of others, what does a prince represent? Princes represented the will of the Emperor, especially the Princes of the Zhu family.”
"Since the prince has already made his move, it means that the emperor is going to make a move on the generals. If we don't rush now, when should we?”
Su Bai smiled:
"Hey! At this point, the civil officials had completely fallen into the trap!”
"The civil officials have counterattacked, and the generals are dumbfounded. The Emperor has clearly hinted, but he sent the princes to hold them back. The generals can't tell what is going on and don't dare to let go.”
"The civil officials have the advantage in numbers, and they won't let others get away with it. They will definitely press on step by step. When they provoke the general, the general will fight back. However, due to the Prince's restraint, they don't dare to use too much force.”
Su Bai changed into a comfortable position and sneered:
"As a result, the civil and military structure of the Imperial Court has fallen into an endless cycle.”
"When the civil officials are about to rise up, the generals will hit the bottom and rebound. They will push back with the momentum.”
"If you pretend to be a grandson, you'll be bullied. If you can't stand being bullied anymore, you'll continue to push back and start an endless cycle.”
"The three forces didn't struggle to the death, but neither of them could handle the other. They reached a subtle balance, and the emperor benefited from it.”
"Here, it's done!"
"Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, three parties check and balance!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Di was tongue-tied and speechless. His jaw was about to drop.
A scheme was used.
The originally treacherous court was now in the palm of his hand!
The originally complicated situation was smoothed out like a cocoon!
At the same time, the Emperor would no longer have to rack his brains to maintain the internal balance of the court. Both sides would be able to maintain it very well.
It saved a lot of time and energy!
It also completely eliminated the possibility of a single family dominating the world!
He covered everything and could not find any flaws!
After a long time, Zhu Di came back to his senses and stood up in a panic.
"Mr. Smith, please accept my bow!”
At the same time.
In a secret room separated by a wall.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his arm and shouted, feeling extremely relaxed.
"Alright!"
"That's great!"
"This is the pillar of our Great Ming Dynasty!!”
Zhu Biao took a deep breath, his scalp tingling. He cupped his hands and said,
"Mister Su is resourceful and resourceful. Your son admires you."
"Alright, alright, get up. Don't talk about you being convinced, we're all f * cking convinced!”
Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands on the table and said excitedly,
"Boss, take a closer look. It seems like a simple plan, but in fact, it's interconnected.”
"The generals are domineering and use the princes to restrain themselves. At the same time, they only give hints and don't give clear orders. Even if something really happens, the emperor will have something to say!”
"And the prince's character is lazy, so he has to issue a clear edict to urge them to fight even if they don't want to.”
"Civil officials are cunning and won't easily fall into a trap. We need the other two sides to fight and lure them in!”
"Awesome!"
"Truly amazing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and praised him.
With Su Bai's supernatural ability, not to mention Liu Bowen, even if he tied up Lee Shan Chang, he would be dead for nothing.
This was the true power scheme!
The emperor did not participate in any conflict, but he could make the enemy disintegrate from within!
"Imperial Father is wise!"
Zhu Biao strode forward, lowered his eyebrows, and bowed.
"Mr. Su is a talented assistant to the emperor and can be the emperor's teacher!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!"
"You brat, you only know how to trick your father all day long!”
"Don't panic, don't be anxious. They're all your people!”
"We'll keep it for you!"
