Although the situation of struggle has been happening since ancient times, it has long been very difficult to explain the words "Shikong" in a way that it is very difficult to interpret them. Because there are countless explanations and definitions of politics, and there are countless statements and evaluations of struggle, and it is even more difficult to combine the two. However, the words that have always been difficult usually have very easy explanations - although the eight words "destroy the enemy and protect yourself" are superficial, they also clearly summarize the essence of political struggle.

Among them, "defeat the enemy" is the means, and "preserving oneself" is the purpose. After the baptism of the Ding Mo Dashen case, Cen Chunxuan came up with a crucial answer - only if the purpose is preserved, the implementation of the means is meaningful. If the purpose is not achieved, even if the means succeed for a while, it will be just an illusion. In the Ding Mo's political tide, he was too obsessed with the means of defeating the opponent and ignored the corresponding purpose. Now it seems that it is really not unfair to be demoted from the capital at that time. If it weren't for the emperor's wiseness, how could there be a possibility of re-activated?

Therefore, he has always been resentful of this matter. Even though he has stopped talking about the past and never mentioned the old things, the grudge in his heart has never faded, and he has only accumulated and nurtured every day. What's more, although the emperor has never said it clearly, his thoughts have been revealed. The King Qing clan will eventually be completely defeated, and what he is planning is nothing more than an opportunity. Cen Chunxuan is also waiting - it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!

The method Lin Guangyu used to carry out political struggles was the easiest way - to fight one faction. Since the first year of the Reformation, the emperor first used Zaize and Sheng Xuanhuai as a reliance, and used the Jinpu Railway case and the Zhili Financial Inquiry case as a breakthrough to defeat the Yang brothers group; then with Natong and Zheng Guanying as a winner, he used the China Merchants Case and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway case to defeat the Sheng Xuanhuai Group; now the major event has subsided, and the local government has to stop. The struggle naturally has to turn back to the court.

On that day, Wang Shang used Cen Chunxuan's two impeachment articles Chen Jian to make Na Tong and Zaixun pay 100,000 silver dollars in blood. But that was just a small punishment, which was more about stabilizing people's hearts and avoiding the court's consolidation of the emperor's current status. The major policies were implemented one after another, and their status and prestige were no longer as trembling as when they first took power, and their methods were not that simple.

Lin Guangyu's intention was very clear. Whether it was a resurgence or a specialty in supervision, it was all used by the emperor to control his subordinates and take charge of the government. Dividing, disintegrating, and balancing. This is basically the so-called emperor's art. But even if he knew it, he was willing to use it for the superiors. "My minister, Cen Chunxuan, is a dog in front of the emperor, and I will bite whoever I ask me to bite" although the words "It is vulgar, but it also clearly points out the essence. Now that the emperor has the intention of incest, how can he not "the duck prophet of the spring river warms the water"?

——The defiance of the Qing must first fall! This is the struggle policy formulated by Cen Chunxuan. Since he started to resume, he has been reluctant to send it. He even made a special trip to apologize and explain the "misunderstanding", but he has never relaxed in secret. He prepared various materials and prepared to give a thunderous blow whenever he had free time.

Yili's tree has a deep root. It is difficult to shake in its urgent need, so he planned to start from the outside. When Chen Bi fell, not only did Yili's confidant lose one, but everyone's expectation for Yili was reduced by 7 or 8 points. Just imagine, Chen Bi was the boss for many years, but when he stepped down, the boss not only did not have the strength to protect him, but easily dismissed him as an abandoned son, and was satisfied with Natong's succession.

On the surface, the King of Qing camp did not lose anything, but it was just a useless person. Instead, it left the position behind, but it was a disgusting heart of all marginal gangs. The boss could treat Chen Bi like this today and easily give up. If he had something to do in the future, he would not be able to expect help. Except for those who were stubborn and wanted to follow Yi Li, the other marginal characters began to keep a distance from him consciously or unconsciously. This subtle timing and atmosphere was really a good time to fall apart.

What's more, Tong not only has the handle in Cen Chunxuan's hands, but also has become the target of public criticism among the court officials. In just a few months, Tong not only did not learn from Chen Bi's lesson, but instead did not restrain himself at all, becoming more and more proud and acted recklessly. He always thought that he had made contributions. Now the world's most powerful power is in his hands, road, wheel, email, and postal powers, and money can be rolled in. He will long be cautious and careful.

Going to Java, he accepted bribes and even stopped covering up the surface. He only knew how to listen to Liang Shi's opinions on the office, but he couldn't even make up any idea. When he had time, he would mess with a group of Peking Opera fans. His ability to do business was far inferior to Sheng Xuanhuai, and his degree of decay was even more than that of Sheng. The Ministry of Posts and Communications has long been discussed within the Ministry of Posts and Communications, but because of the face of Liang Shi and others, he only dared to shake his head privately.

Many people were originally very dissatisfied with Na Tong's position as Minister of Posts and Communications. Now he was even more disgusted with his ugly appearance. But he was still domineering, thinking that he was a minister of the majority and a grandson of the department. He was arrogant in the reform of the official system and was arrogant to other departments. However, in just a few months, he actually made several enemies, which attracted countless people to be disgusted. At this time, Cen Chunxuan understood why Lin Guangyu opposed the opposition at that time and insisted that Na Tong be appointed as Minister of Posts and Communications, and said "good intention" of the two sentences "Don't be anxious, wait and see" - this was clearly the "good intention" of putting Na Tong on the fire. At present, the time has been ripe and I just waited for a sudden launch. This is why he wrote the impeachment memorial in his study.

It was a coincidence that he had not designed this one at first, but when Duan Fang was in a daze and his attitude was extremely humble, he instantly understood everything and deliberately revealed a flaw to the other party - he did not have a stomachache, and he was clearly slid to the side for an excuse, and his eyes never left the study room for a moment, Duan Fang's every move was in his eyes.

As expected, the last prescription who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment was taken.

The philosophical struggle between "defeat the enemy and protect yourself" is actually understood. But there are always exceptions. What if there is no enemy to defeat? Or what if the enemy is extremely powerful and cannot be defeated? How to protect yourself? Take the Zhang Xun case as an example. His enemy is the entire censor and the emperor, and this is definitely not the object he can defeat, so he can only think of another way.

After breaking through this layer of window paper, his conversation with Cen Chunxuan went unusually smoothly:

"Cen Zhongtang, this memorable comment is very correct and has a very high intention. I admire it very much. I am very eager to go back and admire it."

"Brother Wuqiao, this review is arguing, but the evidence is insufficient."

"It's okay. Zhili's financial investigation has a file of friendship, but it is a detailed list of the Beijing officials given to the capital in the past years. If you look closely, you will definitely get something."

"Since that's the case, I'm disturbing."

"You think this is great. In two days, I will add additional opinions and return them to the mansion."

"Excellent. Very good." Cen Chun reminded, twisting his beard, "Don't forget to submit a memorial to defend Zhang Xun's case."

"That's natural, and the words and words must be carefully checked by the Lord Zhongtang."

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. Brother Wuqiao is polite."

On the surface, the two officials of the current dynasty seemed to be calculating about the use of words and words, but in fact they clearly reached a deal - Cen Chunxuan was eager to fall down, so he was responsible for providing "black materials". In order to obtain the other party's understanding in the Zhang Xun case, and finally ensure that he passed the test safely.

At the critical moment, Duan Fang used the last move of the philosophy of struggle and chose to defeat his allies without hesitation.

In terms of closeness and distantness, he and Yuan Shikai are relatives and have a close relationship with Yi Li and others. They should be a party of big bosses, but over the years he has been working in Liangjiang, with a slight distance between time and space, which is not as solid as the original Qing-North-Yuan Tie Triangle.

He is an outer member of the Iron Triangle Alliance. But he has both achievements and scheming in this Iron Triangle, which is the core. Unfortunately, he has become a furious person. He is more ambition and talent than the sky. He is a person with great ambition and talent. He has insufficient success and excess failure. He is a typical playboy. Although the boss has a high position and is of great power, the empress dowager has passed away, has no backer, and has a bad reputation for being greedy for money and treasures. The decline has long been revealed. Although Xu Shichang is clearly a member of the Iron Triangle, this person is known as the "Crystal Fox". It is common for him to be foolish and he is not willing to work hard for the boss. Although the King Qing system was very popular for a while, he also had a good record of defeating Cen Chunxuan-Qu Hongji Alliance in the late Dingshu, but the time changes and the foundation is unstable now.

For many years, Qingji's company has become famous all over the world, and Duan Fang also despised it, thinking that sooner or later, there are people like Cen Chunxuan who are always staring at it, which is too risky. Of course, he also has other choices, which is to inform Na Tong of the news in exchange for the understanding of the King Qing family and then fight back. But when he thinks about the pickled anger he received at Yili Mansion during the day today, he is unwilling to look back. What's more, Cen Chun is now extremely favored by the emperor. Since he dares to hand over this memorial letter to himself, he is not afraid of telling Na Tong. If he offended him because he was in the wrong position, he might even settle the new and old accounts of Liangjiang, and he would never turn over. He is not that stupid.

He only needs to think about two questions:

—

First, should Tong fight?

It's time to fight!

Second, what would happen if you didn’t fight?

I will definitely be in trouble first, and the two factions will be at peace with each other.

It would be enough to have these two answers. He was confused by the public opinion of Zhang Xun's rebellion and could not consider so many possible possibilities. If Yi Li thought about making a stand for him after investigation and prosecution, he did not want to offend Cen Chunxuan for him, but Duan Fang, as the person involved, would not understand it so much, nor did he want to be so passive. He only knew how to protect himself. In order to protect himself, it would be normal to take a backlash, let alone that Tong had no kindness to him...

There are countless other factors mixed with the superficial sound. Lin Guangyu wants to refresh the administration and cleanse corruption. A single edict cannot solve the problem, and Cen Chunxuan alone cannot kill such corrupt officials. Only by pulling one faction and fighting another is the path to sustainable development - so the four words of political struggle are extremely complicated.

After Zhang Xun was executed, the palace was also in panic, and Xiao De Zhang's life was about to end...

Originally, he was thinking that Longyu could plead for him. As soon as Longyu, who had a big belly, spoke, Lin Guangyu smiled and said, "Empress, is Xiao Dezhang's life worth 100 taels of silver?"

"100 taels?" Long Yu was a little surprised. He couldn't guess what it meant for a while, so he had to murmur, "This slave is definitely not worth it, but why did the emperor say this?"

"Before Li Lianying died, he handed over a 100 taels bank ticket to Xiao Dezhang, saying that it would be used to sponsor the new policy of the court and let Xiao Dezhang pass it to me, but..."

"Take it seriously?" Longyu raised his eyebrows, "This dog slave dares to embezzle it?"

"Not only did I embezzle this vote, after the Empress Dowager's death, Xiao De Zhang was extremely powerful and had countless money. I was thinking about what to do with him, but I didn't expect that this guy was so brave that he dared to collude with Zhang Xun to rebel!"

"Collecting Zhang Xun to rebel" Yunyun Longyu was unbelievable as usual, because she was not only aware of the situation but also agreed. But now that the emperor has poured all the responsibility on Xiao De Zhang's head, she is not so stupid as to take this pile of shit. But when she heard the money, her eyes widened - the dog slave who killed this day dared to embezzle the royal silver, but it was still 100 taels?

After a while, Shi Xu, who was the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and known as the "Heaven King", was summoned to the Palace of Harmony.

"Go, Xiao Dezhang has been the head of the court for more than half a year, and the money he has been able to get is extremely considerable. You can do him a favor and go with Wang Shang to help him count it, so that he will not count it and be frightened day and night." Lin Guangyu's tone was extremely plain, but his words were chilling.

"Slaves receive the order." The King of Hell and Wang Shang led the palace guards to rush over with murderous intent.

The originally arrogant little De Zhang had already felt like a disaster was coming in the past few days when he learned about Zhang Xun. Now that the two of them appeared at the same time, their faces were solemn and their souls were naturally unattached. They kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Sir Shi, Eunuch Wang, spare my life."

"Give me your life? When you were corrupt and abused the law, you thought about whether there was today? The emperor repeatedly said that you just didn't listen. Who are you blamed?"

"Bind it up, and then go to search the house." After the Imperial Guard arrived with murderous aura, he was caught off guard and all his belongings were arrested. After a counting, the silver accumulated to 3 million taels of silver, and a large number of jewelry, jade and antique calligraphy and paintings were newly respected by ministers inside and outside the court, and filled with five large boxes.

"It's because I want money but don't live." Wang Shang sighed, and ordered the little Sulas to build a book and then transport it back to the palace.

During the search, the Imperial Guards searched out a booklet, which truthfully recorded the information about who was sending and what to do when to ask for it. Wang Shang felt like he had a treasure - our Cen Zhongtang was busy again.

On the evening of that day, there were a bunch of corrupt and incompetent people under the locust tree in the Forbidden City.

Three days later, it happened to be the court meeting every five days, and Xiao Sula suddenly reported: "The Governor of Zhili Duan Fang asked for a meeting."

"Prince."

"What are he here to do?" Beijing officials talked and whispered.

"I am the one who bows to my emperor long ago."

"Pingshen. Duan Fang, if you don't handle official duties well in Tianjin, what are you going to the capital to do? Is there anything you can't do? "

"I have extremely important matters that need to be reported, and I must go to Beijing in person." Duan Fang was quite excited in his speech, and everyone at the stage was whispering. Fortunately, the system of the court has been reformed repeatedly, the number of participants is not large, and the voice is not too loud.

"Tell me."

"I reported the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and now the Minister of Posts and Communications, Na Tong, was corrupt and abused the law, and acted misconduct..."

What? Everyone was stunned. Tong was so anxious that he jumped straight into his feet. Yi Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He saw Duan Fang begging for mercy a few days ago. He thought he was just saying this and defending himself. He never expected that in just one day, he would change his face like this. This person's heart...

The situation is taking a sharp turn.

Lin Guangyu was also stunned and said for a while: "Duanfang, the minister must have real evidence. If you say something heard, you may have to bear the blame for false accusations."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Duan Fang's nonsense. He is just a slander." Na Tong didn't understand why Duan Fang wanted to bite him, but just retorted it like a conditioned reflex.

Duan Fang raised his head, twitched his neck, and said word by word: "All the evidence is in this article."

“Show it.”

Lin Guangyu looked at it and his eyebrows were tied.

After a while, he asked: "Liang Shi, Duan Fang said in the memorial that Tong accepted bribes and stolen goods and ignored official duties at all. You are the Minister of Posts and Communications Department. Do you tell me if there is any such thing?"

Hearing this, the Tong, who was originally sweating coldly, calmed a little bit. Liang Shi was his confidant whom he had to protect. The emperor asked this question, probably because he didn't believe Duan Fang's "speaking nonsense". As long as he said a few good words, there would be room for a lot of room for this matter.
