Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 37 [037] The founding line and the Chongrui line

Liu Biao also stared closely at Jia Chen, feeling more and more that this son is extraordinary, like a hidden dragon hiding in an abyss, covered by clouds and fog, unfathomable and unreal.

Jia Chen analyzed without haste:

"Actually, whether it is the founding lineage or the Chongrui lineage, they are just pawns in the hands of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. The reason why the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty let the two sides attack each other and hinder each other is the way of checks and balances of the emperor's power."

In fact, Jia Chen was taking care of Feng Tang and Liu Biao's feelings, to put it mildly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this technique of checks and balances is also called the dog fight technique.

The so-called "dog fighting technique" originated from a wonderful power technique to control people's hearts in "Lu Shi Chunqiu".

The principle of the dog fighting technique is:
"A group of dogs live with each other, and they are all quiet and do not compete. Toss a roast chicken, and they will compete with each other. It may break its bones, or cut off its tendons, and the fighting skills will survive."

This passage means:

"When a group of dogs stay together, they are quiet and do not compete. But if you throw a roasted chicken to them, they will compete with each other. Some have broken bones and some have broken tendons. Because of the existence of the Dog Fighting Technique."

Why are civil and military ministers willing to be driven by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor?

In fact, they are the same as this group of hungry dogs. The root cause is to satisfy their own desires.

After hearing Jia Chen's short sentence, both Feng Tang and Liu Biao's eyes lit up, and they realized something.

Unexpectedly, Jia Chen's analysis is like a strategic plan, and he can hit the key point with just one sentence, which is enlightening and enlightening.

But Feng Tang and Liu Biao have not fully figured out the key points.

Seeing the doubts and confusion still lingering in their eyes, Jia Chen continued to analyze:
"The Jianguo lineage and the Chongrui lineage have been fighting endlessly, but neither dared to make a big fight, so they could only secretly intrigue, wagging their tongues and attacking each other in front of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty.

Even if the two factions did not expose each other's shortcomings, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty would deliberately expose the fake inside story for one of the two factions by virtue of their understanding of the two factions.

Generally, the party exposed will not suspect the Supreme Emperor or His Majesty, but will only mistakenly think that the other party is framing, and must be furious. In addition to being furious, in order to retaliate, he will report the real inside story of the other party to the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty.

In this way, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty used the fake news to obtain real information, and then used this real information to continue to drive a wedge between the two parties and obtain more inside stories and handles.

After such a few rounds, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty are well aware of the contradictions between the founding and Chongrui factions, as well as their respective handles.

In this way, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty can not only maintain the imperial power through the struggle between the founding lineage and the Chongrui lineage, but also use the handles they have to manipulate various subjects.

This move has to be said to be extremely clever, it can play with all the courtiers in the palm of his hand, and kill people invisible. "

These old-fashioned words of seeking the country are profound and simple, and the words are pearls, which are deafening and thought-provoking.

Feng Tang said with emotion:
"Chen'er is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has a clear understanding of the situation in the court. He is resourceful, resourceful, and talented. He is really a young hero with both civil and military skills."

Jia Chen smiled lightly and said, "Feng Shibo is too famous."

Liu Biao showed embarrassment and sighed:
"Thanks to brother Chen for pointing out the maze, the height and depth of the old man's thinking, compared with brother Chen, is really far behind, ashamed ashamed!"

Feng Tang persuaded:

"I don't belong to the founding of the country, nor do I belong to the Chongrui line. It stands to reason that I should not help each other, but the Jia family is a family friend of our Feng family, and Li Guogong and you are my best friend. The two of you have a good relationship. Contradictions, I still want to be a peacemaker, to help persuade."

Liu Biao nodded slightly, smiled shyly and said:

"I know that you old Feng is a maverick, and you don't want to form a party for personal gain. I didn't want to involve you, but you were involved anyway. Let me express my annoyance to you first.

Don't worry, I won't trouble Ning and Rong's Second House anymore, it's not that I was scared by brother Chen's beating, but because he convinced me and benefited a lot. "

As he said that, he looked at Jia Chen, clasped his fists in salute and said:

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have sent people to besiege you just now. I want to express my annoyance to you, and I hope Brother Chen will forgive you."

Jia Chen cupped his hands and returned the salute:
"Guo Li can see the situation clearly, judge the situation, and know how to turn back when he is lost. It is really good."

Liu Biao smiled bitterly with emotion and said:

"Brother Chen's analysis is so thorough. No matter how dull this old man is, he already knows the true intentions of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. No matter whether I have separated from the founding of the country or not, I may not be able to be alone. The fate of the Liu family has always been controlled by the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. Just a thought."

Jia Chen slightly nodded and said:
"That's right, instead of trying to sever ties with the founding family, you might as well wait and see what happens.

If you offend all the founding heroes, I don't know whether the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty will punish you.But will the nobles of Chongrui take the opportunity to deal with you, a lion who is alone?

If the honorable nobles of Chongrui attack you together, and you don't have the support of the founding lineage, are you sure you can protect yourself? "

Hearing this, Liu Biao broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

I hadn't thought of this level just now, but luckily Jia Chen woke him up completely.

Chongrui's lineage has been deliberately dealing with the founding lineage, even if he leaves the founding lineage, he may not be immune to revenge from Chongrui's lineage.

Rather than being single and weak, it is better to hold together to keep warm.

Liu Biao exclaimed in surprise:
"Without Brother Chen's kind words, this old man would almost have made a big mistake. If our Liu family were separated from the Jianguo lineage, we would be killed by the Chongrui lineage soon."

Jia Chen smiled lightly and said:

"Since Li Guogong is aware of the stakes, I don't need to say more, so I will leave."

With that said, Jia Chen bowed his hands to Feng Tang and said:
"Feng Shibo, my little nephew goes ahead and bids farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Chen got up and left, his steps were swift and swift.

Watching Jia Chen's back disappear outside the door, Feng Tang said with emotion:

"At a young age, he has both civil and military skills, is good at judging the situation, and acts decisively. He is really a young hero!"

Liu Biao sighed:
"Most of the descendants of the Jia family are unscrupulous. Unexpectedly, there is a talented unicorn who has a bright future. It seems that I will have to find a way to get along with him in the future!"

Jia Chen possesses excellent lightness kung fu, he can walk faster than others can run, and he returned home not long after,
Unexpectedly, Qingwen was holding a brush in her hand, writing and drawing on Xuelang paper.

Jia Chen leaned over curiously, and asked softly, "What are you writing?"

Qingwen was writing ecstatically, but was shocked by this sudden sentence, the brush in her hand trembled, and the strokes were written crookedly.

"Brother Chen, I think your handwriting is beautiful, and I felt itchy for a while, so I started copying it according to your handwriting." Qingwen responded embarrassingly.

Jia Chen laughed and said:

"It's a good thing to like dancing and writing. You can also use it to relieve boredom when I'm not at home. It's just that your pen posture is not right. I'll teach you."

After that, Jia Chen went around Qingwen's back, leaned over and held the back of her hand, and taught her to write.

Bursts of orchid-like musk deer fragrance floated into the nostrils, refreshing and soul-stirring.

Jia Chen wrinkled his nose lightly, this girl smells so good!
I don't know if it's the fragrance of powder or her own body odor.

At this time, Qingwen felt a burst of snorting on the pinnae, soft and weak, crisp and numb.

A heart was beating faster and faster, and the tips of her ears were quietly turning red.

In a panic, Qingwen's cheeks were about to burn, as if she was sitting on pins and needles, she timidly changed the subject:
"Brother Chen, it's getting late, let me boil some water for you and take a bath for you?"

Jia Chen smiled and said, "No hurry, the library is still closed, I'm going to do something."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Qingwen's hand, folded the "Four Lessons of Liaofan" on the table, put it in a briefcase, and carried it out the door.

"I don't know how much the library can set for me? Let's go to a few more places and ask the price first."
