Zhou Peisheng is right. Although this collective decision-making system can maximize the collective efforts of everyone, its flaw is also quite obvious, that is, once the opinions are not unified, it may reach a deadlock. If the chief assistant is not enough prestige or personality, If you are decisive, then the problem will be bigger, and you are very likely to fall into such a situation of indecision or even difficulty in making a decision.
In addition, even if a decision is made, there may be difficulties in implementation due to internal disagreements, making it difficult to advance the matter or even go astray.
“Pei Sheng, according to you, it is an unsolvable problem now?” Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"Sir, if you ask this kind of question to this old slave, wouldn't it mean that you are asking a blind question?" Zhou Peisheng shook his head and smiled, "Actually, you know how to do good things, but now that your age and resume are here, there is nothing you can do. To avoid it, all the gentlemen have been immersed in the official career of the imperial examination for more than thirty years, and you have only ten years. The gap between them is obvious, and the difference in age and experience brings many different opinions. This It’s also inevitable.”
Zhou Peisheng's words are on point. Whether it's Gu Bingqian, Guan Yingzhen, Huang Ruliang, Qiao Yingjia, etc., the gap between their thinking and his own is obvious. Even if he tries his best to convince them on many issues, he still can't. The results were minimal, but Qi Yongtai was still able to accept some things, which made Feng Ziying quite frustrated and disappointed after joining the cabinet.
In addition to the ministers in the cabinet, the ideological gap with my own is even greater among the backbone groups who are currently serving as ministers, ministers, and even local envoys and prefects. They almost still do things according to the original inherent model and know little about the outside world. He was also quite slow to feel the changes in the internal situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Under this situation, Feng Ziying knew very well that her original fantasy of controlling the military power in Beijing and being able to do whatever she wanted was purely a wishful thinking.
Zhao Kuangyin could wear a yellow robe, but that era was the era when warriors ruled the country. Over the decades, a mentality and mindset had been formed from top to bottom, so the warriors wore yellow robes and made a decision, and everyone could accept it, but what about now? ?
The idea that scholars, civil servants, and the emperor govern the world is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and scholars take it for granted. What can they do even if they control the military power in Beijing? Can you kill all the officials in the imperial court, Lin Wenchen? Or are these people surrendering on the surface, but they are submissive, or even just hang up their hats and leave?
If you can't be Zhao Kuangyin, what about Cao Cao and Sima Yi?
Cao Cao and Sima Yi have not been in the court for decades. Whether they are forming parties for personal gain, forming cliques, or recruiting party members, whether they are civil servants, generals, or local officials, they have already mastered a large number of people. Only those who work hard for their loyalty and wave the flag can become powerful ministers who can make decisions with a single word.
In just a few years, relying on his father's influence and his own efforts, he has laid a solid foundation in the military, but his shortcomings and weaknesses among scholars and civil servants are very obvious.
Therefore, Feng Ziying, not to mention being a powerful minister, just wanted to promote and do some things according to her own intentions, but she repeatedly encountered great resistance and interference. This was because she had obtained the support of the business community and used their background to lobby and influence some people. People, otherwise it would be even harder.
On the other hand, Feng Ziying feels that she has some advantages over Cao Cao and Sima Yi's era, that is, apart from the army, although she is a big weakness among the civil servants, the business community has increasingly regarded her as their benefit. Representatives and spokespersons. If this advantage is used well, it may not be able to influence a group of civil servants who have interests in them and draw them into their camp, but this also takes time.
After I figured this out, my mind became clear.
Actually this shouldn’t be a problem.
Whether it is Zhao Kuangyin or Cao Cao and Sima Yi, who can suddenly reach the top in their twenties and thirties? Not to mention that they are all from the second generation of officials. Zhao Kuangyin is the youngest, but he also started to accumulate power from the age of eighteen, until he was three years old. Only at the age of fourteen did he see the opportunity to rise to power.
And I came across Linqing in the second year of Yonglong, and I was only 14 years old. If I were to count from when I passed the Jinshi exam in the fifth year of Yonglong, I would have only been in the official position for 12 or 13 years.
What's more, the current situation is very different from before. The rules established since the Song Dynasty and the rule of scholar-bureaucrats governing the world have become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is difficult to easily overturn this rule.
In this case, if you want to have any ideas, you need to think carefully.
It would really be a joke for a dignified time-traveler to die because he failed to take the last step well.
His foundation has been laid well. His strength in the army is unmatched, and he has the full support of the industrial and commercial forces. The palace also has its own internal support. Although it seems that it still cannot play a big role now, Feng Ziying firmly believed that Zhou Peisheng and Qiu Shian could still be useful at critical moments, and there was no need to look down on them just because they were chamberlains.
Even in the Shilin Wenchen system, I am not without foundation and opportunities. There are a large number of my classmates in Qingtan Academy, and I have been deliberately instilling my ideas into them over the years. Most of them are Everyone also basically accepted many of their own views this time that were shocking to others or thought they could be postponed for later discussion.
"So my husband, you don't have to be discouraged at all. Even a **** can understand this. Don't you have any countermeasures?" Shen Yixiu didn't believe that in this situation, her husband might be a little eager to achieve success, but he himself He is only twenty-nine, not even thirty. In three to five years, won’t there be a new creation? Who can tell clearly?
"Yes, my husband's point of view is for a larger class and more groups, so of course there will be a lot of support. I believe that my husband can definitely win more and more understanding and trust." Lin Daiyu also said with certainty.
Seeing the three principal wives looking at her with eyes full of trust, support and admiration, Feng Ziying was slightly touched in her heart.
Yes, I have a large family, so I need to be more thoughtful when doing things. Rushing for success will only be counterproductive.
You should also focus on your own weaknesses and use the past few years to lay the groundwork. What will happen in three to five years? (End of chapter)
