Looking at Chen Kedao's back, Zhu Youxiao smiled.
Glancing at Chen Hong, who was standing not far away, he spoke directly, "Spread the news and say that Jinyiwei Commander Luo Sigong recommended Chen Kedao to the palace. I think Chen Kedao's academic work is very interesting, and I will ask him to come to the palace to give a lecture tomorrow."
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Youxiao added, "Let the cabinet draft an imperial edict to give Luo Sigong the position of Shao Bao."
Chen Hong could guess a little about his own emperor's actions, but that was all.
It wasn't that he couldn't guess, but he didn't dare to think too deeply. The emperor had clearly made Luo Sigong the target of public criticism this time.
Chen Hong probably understood one thing: his emperor preferred to employ his ministers, or rather, he disliked the Jinyiwei and Dongchang having any connections with the civil officials.
Look at Wei Zhongxian now, what has become of his relationship with the officials?
After this incident got out, Luo Sigong was probably in a similar situation to Wei Zhongxian, and all he had left was to rely on the emperor. As for his reputation, it had long been tarnished, and it was impossible for him to make peace with the civil officials.
If he wanted to do anything in the future, Chen Hong felt that he had to ruin his reputation first.
The reason why Eunuch Wang An was not favored by the emperor was obviously because Wang An was too close to the civil servants and had a very good reputation.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will convey your order right away." Chen Hong agreed and turned to walk outside.
At the same time, he made a decision in his heart that the cooperation with Luo Sigong could begin.
Originally he was still hesitant and hesitant, not because he didn't want to cooperate with the Jinyiwei, but because he didn't know the emperor's attitude towards the Jinyiwei.
If His Majesty does not want to support the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang in their fight, getting involved will only make His Majesty hate him.
Only if the emperor wants to support the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang in their fight can he get involved.
Originally Chen Hong was unsure, but now he is sure.
The emperor wants to support the Jinyiwei and fight against the Dongchang.
If the emperor didn't think so, he wouldn't let himself spread the news. This news was clearly intended to alienate the relationship between the Jinyiwei and the civil officials.
This means to reuse him, just like the emperor wanted to reuse Wei Zhongxian.
Because of the incident of finding the Taoist priest named Han Li, Wei Zhongxian was badly framed. However, since then, Wei Zhongxian has really been reused.
What was Wei Zhongxian's status before? What is his status now?
Obviously, from now on, the status of the Jinyiwei will rise rapidly. Now is a good opportunity for me to intervene.
Looking at Chen Hong's back, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao could not hide the little thoughts of Chen Hong and Luo Sigong from him.
Of course, the two of them didn't dare to hide it from him. Zhu Youxiao knew that the two people's little tricks just now were nothing more than testing him.
If you don't agree, you will stop both of them; if you do nothing, it means you agree.
In fact, not only did he do nothing, he also asked Chen Hong to reward Luo Sigong. This was the best attitude. It was clearly telling the two people, you can collude with each other, I support you, let go and do a good job.
Zhu Youxiao felt that he was becoming more and more like an emperor playing power games.
In later times, the term "power tactics" was generally summarized and generalized. It usually refers to the tactics and strategies used by the ruling class to leverage their power, and is a political tool used by the exploiting class. The ruling class here generally refers to the emperor.
First, "power tactics" must be "loyal" to the ruling class, and therefore are the ruling class's tools of governance.
Second, “political tactics” must fulfill their “duties” for the ruling class, and therefore, they must effectively divide, disintegrate, and even suppress hostile groups without mercy.
Third, the "political tactics" must be used to the best of the ability for the ruling class, and therefore they must use "political tactics" to the utmost to deceive and fool the people.
Historical facts have proven that all great power-seekers are great hypocrites and conspirators, and all of them have left behind eternal infamy for future generations.
"Machiavellianism" means cruelty, deception, and betrayal.
"Power tactics" refers specifically to the strategies and tactics used by the political class by relying on their power.
Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing was a master of power politics.
Looking at what he did throughout his life, he can definitely be equated with a power-seeker.
Thinking of Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something, stood up and walked out.
Chen Hong, who had turned back, hurried forward and went straight to Zhu Youxiao's side, following behind respectfully.
Although he didn't know what the emperor was going to do, Chen Hong knew what he should do.
The group soon arrived outside a house.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the house and nodded with satisfaction.
The place is not big and is separated from the surrounding areas. It is a secluded place. It should be a suitable place.
Chen Hong followed the emperor here and was a little dazed.
Of course he knew where this was.
This is where the emperor imprisoned the Taoist priest, Han Li from the Qingyun Sect.
Although the emperor did a lot of things under the name of Han Li, Chen Hong knew that the emperor had no interest in this Taoist priest at all.
The identity and name of this Taoist priest were bestowed by His Majesty. However, I only met him that once and never again.
Is there something else that the emperor wants to talk about when he comes here this time?
Zhu Youxiao certainly didn't know what Chen Hong was thinking.
After standing at the door and pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao gently pushed the door open and walked inside.
