Chapter 2686 Gui Zi Juan Prisoner’s Dilemma: How to solve the problem
Feng Ziying walked a little lonely in the square outside Fengtian Hall.
The sky is dark.
The lanterns on both sides reflected a few touches of light, faintly visible.
Everybody has dispersed.
Still the same, as expected.
My previous expectations were too ideal. I thought that the preparations I had made for so long should wake up these people, but now it seems that they are still too slow.
Perhaps my requirements were too high. I always thought that there was publicity in newspapers and magazines, and the game and transformation between businessmen and gentry were also going on. The army had made great contributions in this incident, and I could take advantage of it. It triggered, but unexpectedly it aroused greater suspicion and vigilance.
This suspicion is not directed at himself at the moment, but at the entire military system.
He probably thought that he was also sitting in this position and had to express his attitude in this way, otherwise it would be difficult to be a good person in the military in the future.
In the darkness, Zhou Peisheng approached quietly.
After Xia Bingzhong was trapped and killed by Emperor Wan Tong, Zhou Peisheng successfully escaped from the cold palace, or got rid of the concubine Guo Qinjun, and succeeded Xia Bingzhong as the first person in the palace-the **** of the palm print.
“Sir,” Zhou Peisheng whispered.
“Well, come with me for a walk, Peisheng.” Feng Ziying looked calm.
But Zhou Peisheng could sense that this man was not at peace in his heart, or that he was a little gloomy and angry.
“Is today’s meeting not going well?” Zhou Peisheng cautiously followed Feng Ziying’s right side, half a step slower.
As the most powerful person in the palace, it was natural for someone to report the situation to him early in the entire court meeting.
This person spent an hour explaining his policy ideas, but it seemed that he did not get unanimous approval from the important ministers. Instead, there was some controversy, or he felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
Originally, although Zhou Peisheng has made up his mind to follow this person wholeheartedly, he still feels that he is too eager to achieve success.
You are only in your twenties, not even thirty. When you have enough time to serve as chief minister in the future, why do you have to stand out in front of so many seniors and overpower them when you just join the cabinet?
How do these people, who have worked hard for decades to get to where they are today, think?
Zhou Peisheng considered this issue from the perspective of Feng Ziying's interests and was also thinking about Feng Ziying.
"As expected, but sometimes I still hope to give myself a surprise, but the reality is always so disappointing. Well, I can immediately understand that unrealistic fantasies cannot be had." Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Slow down. I just want to find someone to talk to."
Zhou Peisheng was a little flattered.
Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun are now trying their best to meet and talk to this person. Even if Guo Qinyun and the other person have been physically close to each other, it is difficult to see them now.
"The old servant also heard about today's court meeting. It is said to be very lively. It is rare to be so lively." Zhou Peisheng said with emotion: "You are joining the cabinet at such an age. In five or ten years, you may be the second minister and first minister. Why do you need to do it at this time?" Too fussy?"
"Time waits for no one, Peisheng, there are some things you don't understand." Feng Ziying glanced at Zhou Peisheng, "I can wait, but can the court and the country wait? Can the common people wait?"
Zhou Peisheng was stupefied. It was difficult to answer this question.
"Sir, you can't rush for many things. Haste makes waste. Besides, they are all your teachers and elders. You should not get into disputes with them. Maybe they will gradually agree with your point of view and accept it. your opinion,…"
Zhou Peisheng is not sure about the differences in views between Feng Ziying, several other cabinet elders, and even other important ministers, but he knows that Feng Ziying is still alone in the court. Maybe it will change in three to five years. In ten years It will be very different later, but not yet, which is normal.
"Pei Sheng, do you mean that it is impossible for my views to be implemented now? But I am very anxious and cannot afford to wait." Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
Zhou Peisheng glanced at Feng Ziying cautiously, not sure whether Feng Ziying really didn't know or was pretending not to know.
However, since he had made up his mind to follow the other party, he did not hide anything. What he valued and followed was Feng Ziying, not Feng Ziying's status as a scholar and civil servant.
“Unless the emperor fully supports you, and the current emperor cannot do that, you must have an emperor like the one during the Yuanxi period to fully support you, then you can overturn and reverse the will of the chief minister...”
“Even during the reign of Emperor Yonglong?” Feng Ziying asked again.
Zhou Peisheng shook his head: "Only one or twenty years before Emperor Yuanxi could do so, and even the ministers in the cabinet could not reverse it. Only one or twenty years before Emperor Yuanxi, and thirty years after Yuanxi, even Emperor Yuanxi could not do it. At that time The emperor's mind was not on government affairs, and he spent his days thinking about the luxury and beauty of Jiangnan. The reputation of the scholar-officials was getting higher and higher, and the chief ministers of the cabinet were becoming more and more powerful, and they were becoming more and more united. Hey, at least in the When dealing with the emperor, all the princes in the cabinet are united."
Feng Ziying laughed dumbly.
Perhaps this is the mentality of the scholars, and it is difficult for them to agree with the emperor.
Looking at Zhang Jingqiu who appeared as an imperialist, as well as Gu Bingqian and Li Sancai who had imperialist tendencies and suspicions, they did not want to express their attitude of drawing a clear line with the emperor. As for the true attitude and subsequent change, that is another matter.
Zhou Peisheng really dared to say it, but he probably only said it in front of himself, and it could be regarded as a gesture of loyalty.
Can it be effective if the emperor is replaced? With the current power of the DPRK-Chinese cabinet and the civil servants, it would be useless to replace anyone, right?
Moreover, Feng Ziying didn’t think that the sons of Emperor Wantong and Emperor Yonglong would dare to fight against the cabinet when they came to power, or that they dared to support her in fighting against the cabinet ministers. She couldn’t just keep her tail between her legs and be careful. Let’s see what happens. No chance to survive.
“Pei Sheng, be careful if your words are heard by the public, then no one can protect you.” Feng Ziying joked: “If you say it, I can be considered a member of the cabinet.”
"My lord, I know this well, but what I said is true. If all the cabinet ministers work together, they will be able to win. But if the cabinet ministers have their own plans, it will be a big problem, especially when decisions need to be made. Urgent matters, or some matters involving long-term and grand issues, must be made independently by decisive people and cannot be influenced by the words of outsiders. However, the mechanism of the cabinet can easily fall into the dilemma of deliberation and indecision. "
Zhou Peisheng’s words were very insightful and moved Feng Ziying quite a bit. She looked at this **** with admiration.
Zhou Peisheng was the last of the four great eunuchs in the past, but he still had some ability to sit in this position.
I have something going on at home these past two days, so I’ll take care of it a little bit.
