    The beauty was gone and could not be found anywhere. The baby had no choice but to play the bone flute again and ask the ghost questions.

    ??Baby Zi is not Gui Wen¡¯s only informant. Inside the Palace of the Seven Kingdoms, informants like Bao Zi are everywhere. Through them, Gui Wen learns the intelligence of the Seven Kingdoms and assists Black Lotus in cultivating anti-Western religious forces.

    After Gui Wen heard what the baby said, he didn¡¯t know how to answer.  Among so many informants, Baobaozi is considered outstanding, but she is too loyal. She really regards King Qi as everything to her, and she does everything from King Qi's perspective.

    "You can find out the outcome of this matter by going to Zhu Yun." Gui Wen didn't bother to intervene, so he directly asked Bao Baozi to go to Yunyao and let them discuss it themselves.

    "Looking for him?" Baby Boy never doubted that the kidnapping case would be related to this political genius.

    Since the Immortal in the Bone Flute said this, it must be right.  Immediately take Pan'er with you and call a few guards to go to the small courtyard.

    It was noisy outside. The disappearance of the beauty for no reason was a big topic. As the news spread throughout the city, everyone had various speculations. Of course, the most suspicious one was King Qi. Everyone thought that King Qi was hiding.  beauty.

    Of course, there is a more reliable theory, which is that the beauty was so beautiful that it alarmed the gods, and the gods took the beauty to the sky.  It's almost the same as the truth, but the motivation is wrong.

    "Master Zhu." The baby came, but she was not sure whether Gui Wen's advice was reliable. Although Gui Wen had helped her solve the problem before, she was very nervous this time.

    "come in."

    We all meet in the courtyard.

    Yunyao looked at the other party and had to admit that Baobaozi was indeed loyal and spent a lot of effort to recruit talents, but he should not continue to waste time on her.  So Yunyao said: "Some things should be made clear. No matter what you do, it is impossible for me to serve Qi."

    "Then which country are you going to?" Baobaozi's face was not very good. In her opinion, any country that appoints Yunyao is a threat to Qi.

    "Why do I have to serve the monarch?" Yunyao thought it was funny and said, "Can't I just be a hermit?"

    "A talent like yours can only be brought into play in the court. I don't believe you will be willing to retire." Baby Boy said with certainty.

    "If you are too talented, you may not be able to be reused. Just like the Mohists, if the King of Qi can reuse the Mohists, they can naturally strengthen the Qi State. It's just that the King of Qi may not be able to keep his position as a monarch. The Mohists can strengthen the Qi State, but  It will threaten the monarch. Between protecting himself and protecting the country, I think King Qi will definitely choose to protect himself, even at the cost of the entire country." Yunyao's words are true, let alone the current monarch, he will be the future emperor.  In the dilemma of choosing to protect the imperial power or the imperial dynasty, they will always choose to protect the imperial power.

    Because he does not protect the imperial power, the emperor's enemies will kill him, and the emperor's allies will also kill him.

    So after the emperor ascended the throne, all he could gain were enemies, and the only way he could choose was to protect himself.

    "What you said is nonsense without any basis." Baby frowned. She had lived for more than thirty years and was used to the treacherous struggles in the palace. In fact, she knew better than anyone that the interests of King Qi and the country were not unified.  Now it seems that the King of Qi is enlightened and the country of Qi is prosperous. This is only because the King of Qi currently needs to continue to expand his control over the country and attack the officials. At the same time, the country of Qi also needs to be rectified, so the interests of the monarch and the interests of the country of Qi are temporarily consistent.

    But when the King of Qi gets old and his control is reduced, he will fall into the conflict between protecting himself or the country.  He had to shrink his strength and oppose some policies that were beneficial to the country because he had to prevent his officials from profiting from these policies.  It is better not to develop national strength than to strengthen one's enemies.

    At the same time, because of the weakening of control, many allies will also become enemies, so elderly monarchs usually reuse villains.  The villain needs to borrow from the monarch to grow stronger, and the monarch needs to use the villain to suppress allies and enemies. Therefore, the monarch and the villain are trading with each other.

    In the end, if the monarch cannot even control the villain, he will starve to death.

    So many times in history, monarchs listened to slander and relied on traitors, which was actually a means of self-protection.  Because to the monarch, whether allies, enemies, or even fellow countrymen, they are all people who share his interests.  When the monarch has no interests, he will be kicked away.

    Therefore, what a monarch needs to think about is always putting himself first. If developing national power will strengthen enemies and allies at the same time, then the monarch would rather choose not to develop, because the first person to be threatened by development is the monarch himself.

    This is why no development is better than development. No development maintains the status quo. The monarch has the most power, suppresses allies and enemies, and dominates the family.

    ?However, there are also disadvantages to not developing, that is, the upper limit of interests is limited, and the entire country is in stagnant water.  In the end, the internal struggle of interests is still inevitable, and the monarch still has to face the attacks of allies and enemies. Therefore, monarchs usually use one faction to fight against another to maintain a balance. Anyway, as long as their spearheads are not pointed at the monarch himself, they will not care.  Why are the people below killing each other?  Of course, it is also necessary to prevent allies from annexing enemies and becoming stronger, or enemies from annexing allies and becoming stronger. The monarch needs both allies and enemies to survive.

    This is Machiavellianism, and Yunyao¡¯s Machiavellianism is more explicit than that of Legalism.  Legalist strategies mainly focus on rewards and punishments, allowing the monarch to make good use of these two points to control the country.  Yunyao points directly to the power structure of the country, which is the struggle of interest groups. Rewards and penalties are only methods of transferring resources, not the essence.

    The king rewards one person and makes him strong so that he can check and balance another person.  And punishing someone is to weaken someone.

    Legalists simply believe that if you have merit, you will be rewarded and punished for demerit. However, the real power and tactics control not reward and punishment, but merit and demerit. If you say you have merit, you have merit, and if you say you have fault, you have fault.

    Some people may say that this is not seeking death?  How is it possible to hide this from the eyes of the world?

    There is no need to hide it. What the monarch needs is to protect himself. If offering a reward based on merit will cause someone to outdo the master, then the monarch should not reward him, because a reward will create an enemy for himself.  Even if they are scolded by others, those who scold the monarch cannot immediately shake the monarch's position and just scold him.  The existence of a master with great achievements may threaten the monarch at any time and must not exist. Therefore, the monarch must make some tricks, violate the rules of reward and punishment for meritorious deeds, curb potential enemies, and support beneficial allies.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But the problem is that the rules are not set by the monarch alone. The rules are set by the monarch and his officials together. If things are done according to the rules, the monarch will not benefit, but only his officials will benefit.  Faced with such a situation, the monarch will naturally not continue to act according to the rules.  If you don't follow the rules, things will continue to be delayed. If you follow the rules, you may not see the sun tomorrow.

    So Yunyao is right, being too talented may not necessarily be beneficial to the king.

    "The King of Qi is working hard to govern, and you are talented, why don't you reopen the hegemony of Qi?" Seeing that Yunyao was silent, the baby was worried that Yunyao was afraid of offending the King of Qi, so he couldn't help but say good things for the King of Qi: "The King of Qi  With the magnanimity of Duke Huan and your talent as a steward, you don¡¯t have to worry about being punished for your idiosyncrasy, King Qi is not that stingy.¡±

    Yunyao said: "It's a pity that my talent is beyond the reach of King Qi."

    The baby was a little angry. At this moment, she saw someone behind the crack of the house door out of the corner of her eye, and that person was Bi Ying.  The baby was stunned at first, and then became very angry. He felt that this Zhu Yun was toasting and drinking wine as a fine, creating opportunities for him without using them, but kidnapping a beauty in dirty ways. How despicable is this?
