counterfeit currency case ended with the exile of the second son. For this, some people are really happy and worried.
The most annoying things are the master of Shinkawa, Mrs. Chuan and the tenth brothers.
One of them regards the second child as the heir and has carefully trained it for many years; the other is the second child's biological mother. Whether the second child can maintain honor and status in the second half of her life depends entirely on whether her son can survive to the end; the other rely on the second child's protection, he has been domineering since childhood and is arrogant.
But with the second son being eliminated, all hopes and plans are lost.
As for those who are happy, there are more people.
Hao Jia is one. Hao Jia almost set off firecrackers to celebrate the consequences of the second brother's evil consequences. Zhao Fangru is one of them. After years of true love, she can finally return to Daichuan to inherit the family business without any regrets.
In addition to this, the fourth brother is also considered one.
Compared with the sixth brother who defeated the second brother, the fourth brother is no less happy than Hao Jia and Zhao Fangru.
The fourth brother is not sincere in assisting the second brother, but the way to survive. However, it is not easy to make a living under a petty person like the second child.
You must know how to observe words and expressions, be able to flatter, be able to make suggestions, and be good at grasping the right measure. You must not make him think you are smarter than him, but also make him feel that you are useful.
Now that the second brother has fallen, the fourth brother is equivalent to getting rid of the days when he is walking on thin ice and is walking on low. How can he be unhappy?
Although the fourth brother became the third brother's deputy later, compared with the second brother, the third brother is obviously more likely to serve and fiddle with, and even if necessary, he can kick it out as a shield.
As for the third brother, he was also very happy that the second brother fell. Although the second brother never treated him harshly, after all, the second brother left, so he had the opportunity to take over the Household Affairs Department and show his face in front of his father Shinkawa.
And those so-called relatives and noble ministers who have followed the second son for many years have changed their faces faster. First, they strongly recommended Lao Liu to take over the Household Affairs Department. After Lao Liu made the third son and the fourth son became the assistant director of the Household Affairs Department, they all turned around to curry favor with the third son and the fourth son.
It was also seen that the changes in the court situation after the second son left, as well as the thoughts and plans of various people, that I realized that Lao Liu made the third son a coincidence after Lao Liu and Shinkawa weighed the pros and cons. However, the ending of this decision pushed the third brother into the "fire pit".
gave way to
After the second son was exiled, the Xinchuan master kept thinking about who would take over the Household Affairs Department.
You should know that the Household Administration Department is the most important lifeline department in Yichuan, and is generally managed by the eldest son. To a certain extent, those who have obtained the Household Administration Department will be the position of crown prince. Even if they do not take the post, they will be only one step away.
Therefore, it is very important to take over the candidates for the Residence Department.
, and the only ones available for Xinchuan master to choose are currently the third, fourth and sixth. As for who he wants in his heart, we have to look at the details of his appointment.
The Lord of Xinchuan did not issue an order directly, but instead placed this issue in the court to discuss it, expressing his desire to listen to the suggestions of the ministers.
You should know that Lao Liu is in the limelight now, especially after solving the counterfeit currency case and pulling down the second brother but not killing him all, Lao Liu's ability and kindness have been recognized by the ministers. Even the people who impeached Lao Liu for interrogation and infringement turned around and supported him.
Xinchuan's master is very clear about this.
Therefore, when the ministers expressed their opinions one by one, strongly recommending Lao Liu to take over the Household Affairs Department, the Master Xinchuan was not surprised at all, but had an expected expression.
Then, he threw the question to Lao Liu: "What do you think of the Sixth Master?"
Here comes a small point: got the answer in the rules of the Emperor's Art, but asked the question, which means that he was not satisfied with the existing known answers.
Otherwise, he could take advantage of the situation to give the Household Administration Department to Lao Liu, instead of pretending to ask Lao Liu for advice.
In other words, he didn't want Lao Liu to take charge of the Office of Household Affairs. As for why he didn't want Lao Liu to take office, there are three reasons:
First, he felt a hurdle in his heart.
The second child was exiled, which is the masterpiece of the sixth child. Although he also believed that Lao Liu was not for his own selfishness, he had more or less resentment towards Lao Liu.
The carefully trained legitimate son was just broken into the hands of Lao Liu. This means that more than 30 years of hard work have been wasted, and he has also lost a son. It would be strange if he has no resentment. Even though Lao Liu was right from beginning to end, he had a hurdle in his heart. So he naturally doesn't want Lao Liu to take office.
Secondly, it is also to prevent Lao Liu from taking over the Household Affairs Office, which is also to save face for Mrs. Chuan.
You should know that the second son was dismissed, which was equivalent to slapping Mrs. Chuan in the face. After all, mother and son are a community of interests. Mrs. Chuan, who lost her son and support, naturally had hatred and resentment towards the sixth son.
In this case, if Lao Liu still takes over Lao Er’s second household affairs department, it would be like sprinkling salt on Mrs. Chuan’s wound.
Mrs. After all, Mrs. Chuan is the mistress of Ichichuan, so her face should be taken into consideration.
Third, in addition to the above two points, there is another important factor, but this point will be put below for now. Let’s talk about why Lao Liu lets the wife and the wife. This factor is also directly related to Lao Liu lets the wife and the wife.
Faced with the problem of Xinchuan Lord's throwing over, Lao Liu obviously knew the answer that Xinchuan Lord wanted, so he took the initiative to find a reason to give way:
"Reporting to the master, it is not easy for the son-in-law to manage the Jiuchuan Affairs Department, and he is not willing to be in his position. Lao Liu believes that the most suitable candidate should be the third young master. He has been in the Household Administration Department for many years and knows how to operate. He has made achievements as an assistant manager. If he is converted into the main department, he deserves it."
Reflecting this passage carefully, Lao Liu said it very beautifully, almost talking about the heart of Xinchuan Lord.
First, it was said that he had limited ability and could not take on this important position, which not only showed that he had no ambition, but also showed weakness to the master of Xinchuan. Second, it was reasonable and well-founded to recommend the third brother to convince and accept the ministers; third, it was affirmed that the third brother's efforts and abilities for many years, so as to avoid making the third brother feel that the sixth brother's gift was the sixth brother's gift.
Sure enough, after listening to Lao Liu's reply, the master of Xinchuan pointed out with great satisfaction, and Lao San also turned around and smiled gratefully to Lao Liu.
In this way, the third brother successfully took over and took charge of the second brother's household registration department.
The real reason behind the giving way
The Master of Xinchuan has his thoughts, and Lao Liu also has his own plans.
For Lao Liu, he really doesn't want to take over the Household Administration Department. After all, once the Household Administration Department is in his hands, he will have a better chance to realize his ambitions. But he knew very well that it was not the best time to get on the throne at this time.
The reason for saying this is these aspects:
1. Understand the thoughts of my father Xinchuanzhu.
has been mentioned above, which is also one of the main reasons why Lao Liu gave up the wise.
He understood that the Master of Xinchuan asked him about his wish, hoping that he would give up on his own initiative. Although he could choose to go with the trend, don’t forget that the Master of Xinchuan has a veto.
Since the Shinkawa Master does not want him to take over the Household Affairs Department, why should he get into trouble and go against the trend?
Lao Liu has been keeping a low profile for many years and knows that the king and ministers are the father and son, and they are the first king and ministers, and later father and son. Therefore, he cannot treat his father like an ordinary citizen, and can only use the minds of his subjects to guess the will of the holy people. And this is also the foundation for whether we can gain a foothold in the turbulent court.
2. Don’t want to offend the third child.
Although the third man seems to be not very ambitious, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Once it really involves one's own interests, the third brother may not give in.
On the surface, the third brother has no objection to the sixth brother taking over the Household Affairs Department, but this does not mean that the third brother does not want to be in power. This can be verified without any shirking from the third brother who took over the Household Administration Department.
It is natural to say that if there were no sixth brothers, it would be promoted from assistant director of the Household Administration Department to the main department. Moreover, according to the order of the elders and children and their background, the three of them are the oldest, and they were raised by Mrs. Chuan, so they are half the legitimate son.
is based on emotion and reason, and the third brother is rightful in the position.
In this case, if the sixth brother really takes up the position and becomes the third brother's immediate boss, even if the third brother doesn't say anything on the surface, he may not feel happy. At the same time, with the character of the fourth brother who is lip service, he will definitely spread rumors in front of the third brother and sow discord to stand up for him. At that time, he is not sure how his relationship with the third brother will develop.
3. Pursuing power is not for profit.
Lao Liu has ambitions, but his ambitions are different from others. He seeks power not for self-interest, but for the ability to change injustice and injustice, and for the benefit of the people and the country.
Just like what he promised to Mr. Dai in the play:
"Don't be involved in tricks or be immersed in power, thousands of thoughts are in the people, all kinds of thoughts are for the country, and there are things to do and not do anything."
This is Lao Liu's original intention, and it is also the principle and belief that he has always adhered to.
And the third brother is not a bad thing for him, and it does not affect his seriousness of doing practical things.
After all, the third child is not the second child and will not be arbitrary. As for treating him as a thorn in his eyes. If they really have different opinions on something, he will be sure to convince the third brother and resolve the differences peacefully.
4. It’s colder to the heights.
This is particularly important.
The reason why the second child is wrong is that the Xinchuan master has some responsibility, but the more important thing is due to the environment.
As the designated heir of Xinchuan, the second son did not live as brightly as he imagined, but was trapped by the identity of the eldest son. It is necessary to do well, and you still need to continue to work hard; if you do poorly, you are not worthy of virtue. If you are too capable, you will be afraid of your own father. If you don’t have the ability, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself.
is upward, facing the strictness of his father who is in charge of life and death. He is downward, and is his younger brothers who have already started a court in court and are eyeing him. In addition, there are a group of ministers who flatter, change their powers and make great achievements on him.
How to be a good heir that satisfies everyone is a difficult problem for all.
Lao Liu knew this very well. The location of
seems to be beautiful, but it is actually cold at a high place. Everyone's attention and focus will be on the person in that position. They are either flattering and coquettish people, sugar-coated shells, or dangerous thorns and traps. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces and be broken and it will be difficult to turn over.
Putting yourself in that position too early is equivalent to turning yourself into a living target.
The second son's past is there. A young master born in the legitimate world, who has received the protection and support of the Xinchuan master, but still has a bleak end. He is a young master born in the illegitimate world, and he is not favored at all, so how can he go to the end safely? After all, ability alone is far from enough.
Therefore, it is not that Lao Liu doesn’t want it, but that he cannot ask for it for the time being.
This is Lao Liu's cleverness, and this is also one of the reasons why the Shinkawa Master is unwilling to let Lao Liu take over the Household Affairs Department (continue the point that I didn't finish in the previous paragraph).
Although the master of Xinchuan was dissatisfied with the second son, he was not a foolish monarch and could not be a legitimate, so he could only be a virtuous person.
He knows well that in terms of virtue, talent, and ability, the sixth brother is far better than the third brother and the fourth brother, and is a very useful person. Therefore, he did not want Lao Liu to become the next second or a "living target" so soon. He needed more time to inspect and train Lao Liu. Before that, he did not want something happened to Lao Liu.
In the play, when the second son was abolished, the ministers suggested that he establish the Yuan Chu in advance, they once said this:
"High hope, Gu Ting, lost a son, the governor came over to ask, what is the next high hope, everyone said that they should make a decision, but this decision would ruin a few sons."
After experiencing the second son, the Xinchuan Master understood how dangerous the position of the crown prince was. He did not let the sixth sons become the next "high hope", which is another kind of protection for the sixth son.
Of course, this idea is only achieved after losing the second child.
"Fire Pit"
From the perspective of the high point and the "high hope" mentioned by the master of Xinchuan, Lao Liu gave the Household Administration Department to Lao San, which is equivalent to pushing Lao San into the "Fire Pit". Although this is not Lao Liu's original intention, it has become a fact.
Since taking over the Household Administration Department, the third brother has become the object of pursuit and flattery among everyone, including the fourth brother.
The fourth brother is sleek and sophisticated, and he perfectly copied the trick he used to the second brother to the third brother. Not only did he quickly win the favor and trust of the third brother, but he also got the recognition of the Xinchuanzhu because of his tacit understanding with the third brother and became the assistant director of the Household Affairs Department.
Faced with the favor of the fourth brother, the third brother was initially guarded and discomfortable. After tasting the sweetness, he enjoyed it very much. He not only recognized the fourth brother, but also prepared to draw a clear line with the sixth brother in the court.
Just like what he said to Lao Liu in the play:
"Think about it carefully, even if he has trouble, he will only do it and you will not mess with me. I mean, we brothers will do it as we do. I don't care about the affairs in the court, and I don't stand in line. On the surface, we are still busy with our own things."
At this time, the third brother had already begun to turn towards the fourth brother without realizing it.
Whoever is beneficial to you will get close to you, and this is how human nature is.
But you should know that the ultimate goal of the fourth brother is not to make a wedding dress for the third brother, but to take the lead by himself. So, once the third brother completely let go of his guard against the fourth brother, rely on the fourth brother in everything, and at the same time alienate the sixth brother, then what the third brother's ending is, it is conceivable that he may become the next second brother.
This is also the reason why the sixth brother gave up the third brother, which pushed the third brother into the "fire pit".
People's hearts will change, and people's ambitions will also change with changes in their environment and status. I hope the third brother can keep his original heart and not be deceived by the fourth brother and go astray, or go to the opposite side of the sixth brother and become enemies with the sixth brother.
However, in the face of the wealth and power that is at your fingertips, how many people can truly keep their true hearts?
