Chapter 466 Emperor Hongwu is extremely good at disguise If he couldn't even distinguish between black and white, there wouldn't be so many people who would willingly follow him to conquer the world. This is beyond doubt. Xu Miaoyun couldn't figure out the answer to this, and she really couldn't keep up with Lin Che's thinking. But she lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally asked: "Mr. Lin, are you worrying too much?" "There's no need to be wary of His Majesty, right?" "The little girl believes that the more complicated the situation, the more it is necessary to rely on His Majesty's power." "Take what happened this time as an example. The thunder, rain and dew were all a gift from God, and at the same time, the legitimate son was involved." "No matter whether the punishment is light or heavy, it is difficult to explain to the world." "Since this problem is very difficult, why not leave it directly to His Majesty for decision?"

"So as not to set yourself on fire, bring disaster to the fish in the pond, and cause more trouble, I hope you will think twice!" Xu Miaoyun was talented and came from a famous family. She had always listened to her father's advice on being an official since she was a child. Sometimes, there were many things that were not always expressible. Appropriate blank space and selective pretending are not necessarily a bad thing. As the saying goes... Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Who can guarantee that he can always understand the emperor's thoughts? If you are not careful, you will lose everything. When you are in ambiguity, in a dilemma, and when you are riding a tiger but cannot get off, the smartest thing to do is to choose to be wise and protect yourself. She didn't believe in these things that Lin Che couldn't think of, but the other party's behavior made it difficult for her to understand, and she didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd. If the fox is not caught, but instead gets into trouble, wouldn't it mean that he loses his wife and loses his troops? There is absolutely no need to wade into this muddy water! Seeing the tight and serious look on Xu Miaoyun's pretty face, Lin Che couldn't help but laugh, but there was nothing she could do with her. She really is a tiger father with no dog daughter. She inherited Xu Da's style of acting like a pig and eating the tiger. On the surface, she looks like an honest person, but in fact, she is like a mirror in her heart. He really understood the word "official" clearly. Okay, don’t worry about it, I know it well. After a pause, Lin Che stuffed her cold hands into the quilt and explained methodically. "Am I not aware of what you are talking about?" "There is no harm in being an official, but it also requires concrete analysis of specific problems, and you cannot rely on formulas for anything." "Well, first of all, you have to consider whether doing this will benefit you, and whether it will cause unnecessary trouble?" "It is a mistake to do nothing without merit, and you cannot do things that are not beneficial, let alone things that are not good for yourself." Looking sideways at Xu Miaoyun, who had a puzzled expression on her face, Lin Che spread her hands. He said calmly: "You think that the emperor is a wise king and will not be affected by thieves. That is just your naive idea." "I also admit that Emperor Hongwu is not bad, but he is just not bad. He is far from being a wise and powerful person." "Besides, suspicion is an unavoidable problem for emperors of all dynasties. Throughout history, there are no exceptions? Let alone him who came from an extremely humble background."

Lin Che smiled bitterly and shook her head: "You have to be clear about one thing. Unless he rebels, Emperor Hongwu is just a farmer, a monk, and a beggar. How much enlightened thinking can you expect from him?" "Even though I have been cramming in my homework over the years and doing my best to make up for the lost knowledge and understanding, some deep-rooted concepts can never be changed." "To put it bluntly, putting your life and property in his hands is not much different from seeking the skin of a tiger." "The so-called truthfulness refers to virtuous people. What can you say when a scholar encounters a soldier? Then is Emperor Hongwu virtuous?" "Ability and virtue are two different things, do you understand?" Hear this. Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. She lowered her head and did not dare to quibble any more. Only then did she realize what she had taken for granted. Although these words don't sound good, I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with them. Very real and very realistic. The emperor is for the emperor's interests, and the ministers are for the interests of the ministers. When the emperor's interests are harmed, will he still consider the ministers? This is what is called human nature. No need to say anything at all. After sorting out the complicated thoughts, Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips and said with shame: "Yes, Mr. Lin, the little lady has remembered it." "Make you laugh." In response, Lin Che waved her hand indifferently. "It doesn't matter." "It's natural that you don't understand the emperor well enough. If you want to blame him, blame him. The emperor usually pretends to be too good, and his affinity for nobles has given you many misunderstandings." When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she subconsciously held her breath and felt a little nervous for no reason. "What...Mr. Lin, what does this mean?" "Young lady, I don't know, please make it clear." Lin Che turned around and got two glasses of water, first handed them to the anxious girl, then raised her head and took a sip, and said calmly: "That's what it means literally." "Emperor Hongwu is extremely good at disguise. To put it bluntly, he is an expert at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in that position." "In short, just remember one sentence." "Everything that needs to be emphasized is actually not true!" "Take what I said and think about it again. Is what Emperor Hongwu often emphasized true?" The words fell into silence. Hearing Lin Che's understatement, Xu Miaoyun froze in place as if struck by lightning. She felt that the good outlook she had cultivated since childhood was shattered to pieces in an instant. "Everything that needs to be emphasized, that's not true."

Xu Miaoyun murmured, and when she thought about the words that the emperor often talked about back then, she felt an inexplicable creepy feeling. "Mr. Lin, this..." "Could it be that the Tian family is not so harmonious on the surface, but in fact the kings are secretly competing against each other behind their backs?" "And...and His Majesty has noticed it a long time ago. He just tried his best to cover up the truth and did not let the internal problems of the Tian family continue to be exposed to the public's view?" Seeing the disbelief on the girl's face, Lin Che shrugged, but did not hide it, and happily explained: "Yes, that's it." "Emperor Hongwu is not as good as you think, but he is not as bad either. Although there are many shortcomings, his attention to detail is far beyond the average." After saying that, Lin Che shook her head and laughed: "Even that lunatic and I can see the turbulence behind the Zhu family's tranquility, let alone the father of the child who spends time with him day and night." "It's just that the emperor doesn't want to go that far, and he doesn't want to see the scene of fratricide." "To put it bluntly, I am just lying to myself, hoping to use my supreme majesty to suppress the princes who are ready to make a move." "When the right opportunity comes, I will directly hand over the throne to the prince. I will retreat behind the scenes and secretly help the prince suppress his brothers." "This is the game carefully arranged by Emperor Hongwu." (End of this chapter)
