"Dad, I know he's very powerful, but is he as amazing as you say? He's just a kid, isn't he? Is he as amazing as you say? Aren't you overestimating him?"

Duke Zheng continued: "What do you think?

There are so many people in the capital who like to impeach the King of Donghai. You don't think that they do this because they look down on him or despise him, do you?

Let me tell you, no, the people who impeach the most harshly are often the ones who admire and like the King of Donghai the most.

The reason they impeached the King of Donghai was because his existence harmed their vital interests.

He didn't do this simply because he hated the King of the East Sea.

Perhaps these families will list the King of Donghai as a role model for their children.

It's not that the King of the East Sea is not good enough, it's because he is too good and too dazzling, making everyone else look dim, so they took action.

While they cursed the King of Donghai, they also hoped that such a powerful figure would emerge from their own family.

To put it bluntly, the King of Donghai is the best descendant in everyone's eyes, but unfortunately, this descendant is not his own.

It’s not that they can’t tolerate an outstanding son, but they can’t accept that this outstanding son is not their own.

That's why they try their best to destroy it.

As long as these descendants are from a certain family, believe it or not, this family will definitely be able to hold its tail high to the sky.

They would even open ancestral halls to comfort their ancestors, saying that their family has successors.

The Duke believed this because he had heard many of his colleagues teach their children and grandchildren in this way.

He kept saying, "Look at the King of the East Sea, he's the same age as you, what is he doing, and you're not even shy about messing with me..."

This and that, and he heard it more than three or five times.

"Think about how the once famous Cui Jia Sanlang became a cripple, and you'll understand.

You don't think that was really an accident, right? There are unexpected things in this world, but the probability is not that high.

Did his hand get disabled when he was rumored to be the most likely to win the title of top scholar that year?

There are only so many resources in the capital. If you eat them, I won’t be able to eat them, and if I eat them, you won’t be able to eat them.

The competition between families is not just a competition in the court, but involves all aspects of life.

The most effective way to destroy a family is to directly destroy its best successor.

Leaving him without a successor, is there anything more cruel and despairing than this?

In the same year, Lord Cui, who was supposed to make further progress, lost his spirit when he heard that his grandson had been deposed, and withdrew from the competition.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight anymore, but even if he wins, there will be no one to inherit. He has no successor, so why is he still busy?

Many people got involved in that incident, including those who were on good terms with him. Do you know why?

Because one small move can affect the whole body.

It was not just Cui Sanlang who was eliminated, but the entire Cui family and everyone in his camp.

The fall of a large family or faction can feed many families. This is the most fundamental reason.

This is also what makes the King of Donghai different from other families. He is chivalrous and loyal.

As long as the families he defined as his own broke the law or provoked him, he would never take the initiative to take action.

If he were on good terms with the Cui family, not only would he not step on them, he would even help them. Do you believe it?

You will understand if you pay close attention to what the King of Donghai does in the capital.

He often does things that harm others and benefit himself for people who have nothing to do with him.

He also brought in money and other things and was very busy.

People who don't understand his original intention may think he is fooling around and think he is simply bad and stupid, but he is not.

He is speaking up for many people. He is using his own way and strength to uphold justice, maintain fairness and seek fairness for some vulnerable groups.

Think about it carefully, what are these other famous young men in the capital doing?

Apart from holding poetry readings and garden parties every few days, they also complain about their concerns for the country and the people without any reason.

Have they ever done anything tangible and practical for the people?

Did they ever help the emperor with his worries? No.

Those poetry gatherings were just tools for them to build momentum and fame for themselves, paving the way for their future smooth entry into officialdom.

These so-called young masters of noble families are not only good at reciting some sad poems, but their best skill is probably spending money.

Look at how they spend money, they are first-rate, each one more romantic, more extravagant, and more vain than the other.

But how many people can make money on their own? No, not even one.

Look at the King of the East China Sea. Who can earn as much money as him?

Have you ever heard him visit a brothel? Have you ever heard him spend a fortune on anyone?

Did you ever hear him do any of the crazy things other playboys do?

He spent most of the money he earned on practical things. Just look at that time when a big event happened in the court, he didn't spend any money or anything.

Do you know what his cleverest point is? He was the one who did all these good things, but he did it in the name of the government.

Leaving all the good reputation to the emperor, this is the only thing that no one in the whole court can do.

Everyday you only see that the government favors him, and you always feel that the government is better and more partial to him than him.

That's because they deserve it and the government is happy with it. Do you understand?

Therefore, the more people impeach him, the more the government will protect him, thinking that he has a hard time.”

"Dad, how did you know?"

"How do I know? I saw it with my eyes and thought about it with my heart. In fact, this matter is not hidden. As long as you pay attention, you will find it.

So, in the future, you should observe more with your heart and brain, and less with your eyes. What you see with your eyes is not necessarily true.

Those court officials are just making trouble, but the government will not touch the King of Donghai, nor will it punish him.

Just remember this one thing." Only a fool would touch someone who treats him so well.

"Got it, Dad."

“Well, also, remember that court affairs are all linked together, there is never a single incident.

Take the Cui family incident for example. It seemed that they only destroyed Cui Sanlang, but in fact they destroyed the entire family.

This is one of the reasons why I have always emphasized that our family must never underestimate anyone.

Be kind to those who are not doing well at the moment. After all, things change over time.

No one knows what the future will be like until the end of life. It is always better to make good friends than enemies.

Be helpful to others if you can. It may seem like we have lost some money, but in fact we have made a lot of inconspicuous mistakes.
