The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 36 What is "Politics" (for further reading)
what happened?
The messenger disciple was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth, and soon realized that the courtyard door was not closed tightly, but was ajar, and the people sitting under the giant willow could be vaguely seen in the gap.

and the sound coming from it.

Are you discussing the situation?Curious, she listened to the sentence in the wind and looked sideways at the actress.

Xu Xiurong's expression was focused, and he was already engrossed in listening.

……

"What is politics?"

Hearing this sentence, the star officials present looked at each other in blank dismay, and the female Si Li curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just a means to fight for power? At most it counts as governing the country."

It can be seen that she doesn't think highly of things in the court.

The rest of the people didn't say a word, which was the default.This is also the perception of most people.

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "The words are a bit rough and not comprehensive, but a superficial understanding is okay. If you want to break the situation, you must first figure out the root cause of the problem, such as why the water and gold courts suppressed it, and what is the purpose."

Mu Yaoyao snorted, and said: "It's about fighting for power. Qin Tianjian is getting old, and has stopped managing affairs in recent years. The next supervisor must be selected from the prison lords. We don't care, but some people care. "

Everyone nodded, indicating that this was the case.

In fact, the struggle with the upper echelon of Qin Tianjian did not happen suddenly, but lasted for several years.

A hundred years ago, the Grand Master of the Great Zhou practiced in closed doors, and handed over the affairs of the courtyard to the "big disciple", who is now the "Qin Tian Jian Zheng".

The rest of the brothers and sisters assisted.

At that time, there was a national teacher in charge, and the reputation of the senior brother was sufficient. The power structure of the entire Qintianjian was stable, and each performed its duties.

Then the national teacher passed away, and there was Qin Tianjian, and everything was fine.

Until the past two years, Qin Tianjian is getting old, and reveals that he is tired of the world, and the number of appearances is decreasing, and the power in his hands is further delegated.

The big and small matters in the prison are discussed by the five prison marquis headed by Li Guofeng.

On the one hand, the old prisoner is expressing his willingness to "give way", on the other hand, the five prison princes also have their own team, and their power is growing.

Therefore, who will be the next supervisor has become a key issue.

And looking through the history books, no matter what kind of organization it is, whether it is as large as a court, a sect, or as small as a sect in the rivers and lakes, family power...everything involving the transfer of power, it is inevitable to fight.

Everyone in the world thinks that if a practitioner asks with all his heart, as long as his strength is strong, it will be fine.

But this is not the case. When he first entered the practice as a teenager, he thought that the sky was high and let the birds fly. He fantasized about becoming the number one in the world, and he was not enthusiastic about secular power.

When a person reaches middle age, he realizes that he is mediocre and the road ahead is bleak. He is stuck in a realm and cannot break through. He understands that there is no possibility of breakthrough in this life, so he either gives up seeking the Tao, or entrusts it to future generations...

Start getting as much power as possible, become the norm.

Not to mention, after becoming a "supervisor", you can mobilize far more resources than before, and you may be able to be promoted and step into a higher realm based on this.

"Qin Tianjian is not a sect, unlike other sects, the successors are inherited by the children of the head. It is also not an ordinary yamen, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot forcefully intervene in the appointment and dismissal."

The middle-aged Si Li said with emotion:
"In the past, the National Teacher once said that the Qin Tianjian is more like a school, with a set of detailed 'indicators', and now Li Jianhou of the Golden Academy has the most hope for election, followed by the Water and Fire Academy.

"Xu Jianhou is not keen on this, but in the eyes of others, she becomes weak and deceitful. If she can be brought down and replaced by others, not only can the power of Muyuan be divided up, and an opponent can be eliminated. If people control the Muyuan, the chances of winning the competition for the next supervisor will be much higher, how can we not fight?"

He sighed:

"The opponent failed this time. I'm afraid they were worried about our recovery, so they set up cards everywhere. The purpose is to slow down our practice. The gods will reward us soon. As long as we can't recommend disciples who are qualified to participate, we will give them another chance to participate." Opportunity for trouble."

A few words make the situation clear.

Ji Ping'an's smile remained unchanged, and he said:

"So, everyone understands the root cause of the struggle, so I would like to ask, as you said, the Golden Academy has the highest winning rate, so as long as it remains unchanged, why did Li Jianhou acquiesce and even help the Water Academy to launch this round of attack?" ?”

Everyone was taken aback, this was something they hadn't thought about before, and fell into deep thought.

Yes, why did Li Guofeng get involved?
According to the known information, it was Bai Chuan who launched the attack, and he wanted to swallow Muyuan to strengthen himself, so as to wrestle with Jinyuan.

The motivation is clear.

But Li Guofeng didn't have to do this, wouldn't he be making enemies for himself?

"Why?" Mu Yaoyao was puzzled and asked on behalf of the rest.

Ji Pingan smiled and took a sip of tea before slowly saying:
"In my opinion, there are three reasons. The first is that the Golden Academy is confident enough to reap the same benefits as the Water Academy in this incident. Bai Chuan is notorious and Li Guofeng is reaping the rewards. It is hard to be tempted. After all... no one would dislike power more."

Everyone nodded, but didn't notice that Ji Pingan directly read the name of Marquis Jian.

Ji Pingan said:

"Secondly, if the Golden Academy wants to maintain the status quo, then in the face of Bai Chuan's attack, Li Guofeng must take action to prevent it... In this way, the original conflict between the Water and Wood Academy will immediately turn into a conflict between the Gold and Water Academy... And this is what they don't want to see, as the so-called snipe and clam fight for the fisherman's benefit, if the two courts conflict, the strength of both sides will inevitably be damaged. At this time, if the fire court or the earth court come out to compete, what should we do?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

The female secretary Li Geng patted the table: "No wonder, no wonder! I said that those people are full of eyes!"

The gate of the courtyard.

Xu Xiurong's eyes also lit up. Ji Ping'an's words were not subtle, but it showed that he did understand the situation, compared to a group of people who hadn't read much.

For a star official who has narrow knowledge and only knows how to practice, there is a feeling of clearing the clouds and gaining insights.

"What about the third one? What else?" Mu Yaoyao asked.

Ji Pingan smiled and said:

"The third is to intensify the conflict. As we all know, the water and fire courts have always been at odds. Just like this time, Fang Liuhuo supported us largely because he did not want the water court to benefit. If the dismissal succeeds and the power of the water court grows, then The Fire Institute certainly doesn't want to sit still.

"Either they will fight with the Water Academy. Li Guofeng only needs to sit behind the scenes and contribute to the flames, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Even if the two sides do not fight, the Fire Academy will inevitably turn to the Golden Academy for a more comfortable life in the future... So, this In the game of chess, no matter how you play, the Golden Academy will almost never lose money."

Hiss... Hearing this, the group of people under the tree felt chills down their spines.

There is a sense of terror of being in a chess game and being secretly manipulated and calculated.

"Marquis Li Jian...is the calculation so clear?" A disciple was very surprised.

Ji Pingan sighed and said:
"I can even come up with a fourth point. Just imagine, even if the Water Academy uses such low-handed methods, even if it wins, it will make the other academy's star officials afraid. When it comes time to run for prison, Li Guofeng can use this as an excuse , Punish the water courtyard, not only can suppress the opponent, consolidate power, but also gain fame, kill two birds with one stone. Even if Bai Chuan knows it well, he has no other choice but to fight."

This time, everyone was silent, and felt cold all over.

Previously, they simply thought they had seen through the essence of this power struggle: the strong prey on the weak.

But when Ji Pingan broke through the calculation inside with a few words, he was startled and realized that his loss was not wronged.

"No wonder the Jin Yuan is the most powerful. It's a pity that the surnamed Li doesn't go to the officialdom." The female Si Li was furious, feeling that compared with the enemy, she and others were as innocent as little white rabbits.

outside the hospital.

Xu Xiurong's face also turned serious. As a participant of the meeting that day, she had a guess about the thoughts of the other prison lords.

But Ji Ping'an's analysis was more thorough than she thought.

"Is this also taught by the national teacher?" Xu Xiurong was at a loss.

It's really hard to imagine that a young man who buried himself in the countryside of Leizhou 20 years ago had such a vision and insight into the world when he first entered the capital of God.

"Then what should we do? Junior Brother Ji, didn't you say that there is a way to break the situation?" Under the willow tree, Mu Yaoyao asked anxiously.

"That's right, is there really a way? And...Although what you said is very reasonable, what does it have to do with our current situation?" Another disciple wondered.

Hearing this, Xu Xiurong also pricked up his ears.

Facing a series of expectant, anxious, or questioning eyes, Ji Pingan was not in a hurry, gently put down the teacup, and said:
"Of course it's related. We have clearly analyzed the cause of the contradiction, the enemy's motivation and psychology. The next step is the key to reversal. Remember what I said at the beginning?"

Mu Yaoyao probed, "What is politics?"

Ji Pingan nodded approvingly, and threw out a famous saying of a great man: "The so-called politics is to make many friends and make enemies few."
