Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 356 Listen to the voices of your subordinates to show your wisdom

The morning sun had just appeared, and the faint golden light looked like the hand of God gently brushing across the glazed tiles of the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

It is as if this ancient mansion is covered with a layer of mysterious and luxurious gauze.

The pavilions and towers in the mansion are in this hazy light and shadow.

It appears vaguely, like a majestic and magnificent historical picture scroll.

The breeze blew quietly, bringing a little coolness.

The wind blew through the flowers and plants beside the corridor, making a soft rustling sound, as if slowly telling the dusty story of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Prince Zhu Gang of Jin was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and his posture was as tall and straight as a pine tree standing proudly.

His eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his majesty and decisiveness seemed to be carved between his brows with a knife.

The tightly furrowed brows and slightly pursed lips all showed the prince's inner worries at the moment.

He was well aware that the unrest among his subordinates this time seemed to be a struggle for interests caused by uneven distribution of resources.

In fact, it is like a huge stone thrown into a deep lake, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the internal management mechanism of the palace.

It is more likely to shake the foundation of the Prince of Jin's Mansion in the court and among the people like a violent storm.

Zhang Changshi, who was standing beside him, lowered his head slightly, looking respectful and solemn.

He was dressed in a Confucian robe, neat, clean and elegant.

However, the slightly wrinkled corners of his clothes seemed to quietly reveal his inner uneasiness.

Zhang Changshi had been well-read since childhood and was extremely intelligent.

In this ever-changing and complex officialdom, he has experienced countless ups and downs.

He knew very well that if this dispute could not be resolved fairly, the foundation of fairness within the palace would inevitably suffer serious damage.

The future management path will be as difficult as climbing a steep mountain.

People's hearts will become more and more scattered like drifting clouds.

"Zhang Changshi, this time the officials are causing trouble, it is definitely not a small matter!"

Zhu Gang's voice was steady and powerful, like the heavy notes struck on a bronze bell, and every sound was heart-shaking.

Zhang Changshi was shocked and quickly responded: "Your Highness, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. I will do my best to relieve your worries."

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Gang with a firm gaze.

That look showed both absolute loyalty to Zhu Gang and a firm determination to solve the problem.

Zhu Gang narrowed his eyes slightly, but his mind was like a thousand troops galloping, quickly thinking of ways to deal with the situation.

He knew very well that simply using tough measures would probably be like adding fuel to the fire and would only lead to greater resistance.

Grace and majesty must be exercised at the same time, finding that delicate balance.

"Zhang Changshi, this matter should be considered in the long term.

I must make my subordinates understand the importance of fairness, but I must not let them feel that I am too harsh.

Looking back, Emperor Taizong of Tang ruled the world with benevolence and humbly accepted advice, which led to the glorious prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

We should learn from the wisdom of the ancients and handle this matter properly."

Zhu Gang spoke in a low voice. Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to have great power and revealed a deep kingly wisdom.

Zhang Changshi nodded slightly, secretly admiring Zhu Gang's strategy.

“Your Highness is absolutely right.

The subordinates thought that they could first let the subordinates speak freely and fully express their ideas.

Understand their demands and then find solutions from them.

In the past, King Zhao of Yan built the Golden Tower, recruited talents widely, and achieved hegemony.

We can also follow suit and listen to the voices of our subordinates to show your wisdom."

Zhang Changshi responded softly, his eyes flashing with thought. After discussing the response strategy, Zhu Gang and Zhang Changshi took firm steps and walked towards the viewing pavilion where the officials of the palace were discussing matters.

Outside the viewing pavilion, the lake is as quiet as black jade.

Occasionally, slight ripples appear, as if telling an ancient legend.

The weeping willows on the bank swayed gently with their tender green branches and leaves swaying softly in the breeze, as if sighing for the changing circumstances of this palace.

A few butterflies fluttered lightly among the flowers, but they could not bring any relaxation to the tense atmosphere.

When Lin Bi and the other officials of the palace saw Zhu Gang coming, they hurriedly saluted and shouted loudly, "We greet His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

The voice was uniform and serious, like the sound of a horn on a battlefield, powerful and solemn.

Everyone bowed down, their movements respectful and pious, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Standing in the crowd, Su Dianbao, an official who aspires to become a famous treasure master, has a complex look in his eyes.

Influenced by his family since childhood, he has a unique and keen sense for treasures.

I was of course unhappy about not getting promoted this time, but at the same time I also began to doubt my past efforts.

On weekdays, Su Dianbao worked diligently in order to gain a foothold in the palace.

However, sometimes he was too focused on achievement and neglected his relationships with colleagues, which led to him being isolated and helpless.

At this moment, Su Dianbao was eager to be promoted to prove himself, but he was also worried that being too tough would cause disgust among others.

Li Fengci learned sacrificial etiquette since childhood, and always had a flattering look on his face, ready to cater to Zhu Gang's wishes.

But deep in his heart, he also has his own difficulties that are unknown to others.

As Li Fengci's family gradually declined, he was urgently needed to gain a higher position in the Prince of Jin's Palace to restore the family's prestige.

Although he tried to use his connections to get promoted, Li Fengci would always feel ashamed and uneasy about his behavior when it was late at night.

He knew very well that this was not a long-term solution, but he was helpless under the pressure of reality.

Li Gongzheng comes from a family of craftsmen, but at this moment he frowned and was worried that he would be implicated.

Zhu Gang raised his hand slightly and said gently, "No need to be polite, everyone."

His eyes were like torches, sweeping across the crowd majestically, and his voice was like a loud bell.

“I heard that the officials under my command were causing trouble, and this was caused by the uneven distribution of resources.

Su Dianbao, you have made contributions to the palace many times, but you were not promoted this time. Please tell me the details. "

Su Dianbao took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness, last year’s dispute with the neighboring mansion was entirely resolved thanks to the advice of my subordinates.

This was how the issue was properly resolved, earning the palace great face.

As for the tax affairs at the beginning of the year, my subordinates also worked hard without any laziness.

But I was not included in this promotion, and I am really not convinced."

At this moment, Su Dianbao's voice trembled slightly.

There was a sense of grievance and a hint of self-reflection in his eyes.

He knew very well that fairness was not easily obtained in this palace with strict hierarchy.

However, Su Dianbao still longs to break the shackles of class through his own efforts.

Zhu Gang nodded slightly and looked at Li Fengci again.

"What about you? Why do you think you deserve this benefit?"

Li Fengci straightened his chest and said, "Your Highness, although my contribution is not as great as Su Dianbao's, my cousin is an official in the court.

He is familiar with many powerful people and can build relationships for the royal palace and gain more benefits.

I hope Your Highness will give me a chance for this promotion because of our relationship."
