In this way, Lin Tailai was not in the mood to work anymore today and went home to rest.
When talking about today's events with his guest Gu Bingqian, Lin Tailai couldn't help but sigh:
"I have always been successful in the court, and I can deal with the emperor and the chief ministers with ease, but I always can't deal with these ministers and eunuchs. It's really strange."
After Gu Bingqian thought for a moment, he suddenly stood up, bowed to Lin Tailai, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the proprietor, congratulations to the proprietor! This is a good thing!"
Lin Tailai looked at Gu Bingqian doubtfully, could it be that you are also good at turning bad things into good things? Could this be the skill of "White Beard Chief Assistant"?
But Lin Tailai really wanted to hear how bad things turned into good things.
Gu Bingqian added: "This shows that the proprietor has become a truly influential and widely recognized big shot!"
Lin Tailai liked to hear this. He waved his hand and encouraged: "Tell me more!"
Gu Bingqian then replied: "The Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. This is also true between people.
In the past, when the proprietor faced a famous big shot, he knew the big shot very well. It could be said that he knew himself and his enemy.
Now that the proprietor is also a big shot, he has become the subject of careful study by others, so the situation is reversed from the past.
When the proprietor meets those little people he is not very familiar with, it is the other person who knows himself and the enemy, so it is normal for the proprietor to occasionally encounter passivity.
Many of the celebrities in history suffered at the hands of little people, that’s the truth.”
Lin Tailai couldn't tell for a moment whether Gu Bingqian was taking the opportunity to praise himself or whether he was really analyzing it seriously.
It seems to make sense. I know a lot about famous people in history, so I have the advantage of poor information, and most of these people are gathered in the upper echelons.
For those who are not very famous, they do not have the advantage of poor information, but they are not as easy to handle as big people.
I have been aloof for a long time. I usually go in and out of the ministry and the prime minister's house, but I have never looked down.
I walked around the Sanliu Yamen today, and everything I thought I could settle in one go turned out to be unsolvable.
In this court, there are really all kinds of people, and everyone has their own wisdom for survival.
Gu Bingqian added: "Regarding the location selection of the Communications Department, the proprietor's intention is too obvious.
Now it is known to everyone on the street and others are on guard, so it is very disadvantageous for the proprietor.
It is suggested that the proprietor should not be in a hurry, but wait for a few days to see if there are any new changes in the situation in the court, and then wait and act."
Lin Tailai thought for a while and said, "The main situation in the court recently seems to have little to do with me."
Although Lin Tailai has been very calm recently, the court is actually very lively.
The hottest thing was of course the fight between the emperor and his ministers over the East Palace issue.
The Qingliu party members once again clamored for the establishment of the East Palace, but the emperor dismissed Song Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and took advantage of the words of Lu Guangzu, the censor of Zuodu.
Then the Qingliu Party members had to "rescue" Song Hui and prevent Lu Guangzu from being dismissed from office.
So the court became a quarrel, and Lin Tailai stayed out of the matter after throwing Song Hui and Lu Guangzu to the emperor.
It seems that all the excitement is other people's, and Lin Tailai is only managing his own "little luck", such as focusing on the organizational construction of the Update Society, guiding the publicity work of the Literary Forum, and starting to establish the Communications Department.
Finally, Lin Tai said: "If you interfere in the court situation just to select the location of the Communications Department, it will not be worth the loss."
When the country faces a great calamity, you can hide as far as you can.
In the Shen Mansion, Shen Shoufu also expressed similar emotions while having dinner with his son.
"Lin Tailai started the whole thing, but now he acts like nothing has happened." Shen Shoufu said with a bit of resentment.
The emperor and his ministers were fighting fiercely, and the chief minister must be the most troubled one in the middle.
Shen Yongmao replied: "Isn't that what being the chief assistant does? Lin Tailai is not the chief assistant."
Shen Shoufu said angrily: "I really don't want to talk to him now!"
At this time, someone from the Imperial Hospital suddenly came to report: "The dismissed Minister Song of the Ministry of Industry has been seriously ill and has died just now!"
Shen Shoufu was shocked. Song Hui was not young and his health had not been good. He fell ill after he submitted his resignation. He didn't expect that he would die so quickly!
The emperor was using Song Qi to shift the focus and quarrel with the ministers.
Now everyone is gone, and the pull is broken! The inertia of the current situation must be directly changed!
Shen Yongmao asked: "What does father want to do? Report to the emperor first?"
Shen Shoufu immediately ordered: "No, go and notify Lin Tailai first!"
Shen Yongmao: "."
Is this what you said about not wanting to deal with Lin Tailai?
