Life Winner Training Guide

How is a good attitude towards life cultivated?

However, Concubine Zhuang quickly restrained her expression and asked gently, "Is there anything you want to eat? Mother will ask someone to make it right away."

You Hongyin pretended to be reserved for a second, and soon shamelessly started to order dishes.

What? Morality? That thing can't be eaten, it was thrown away long ago.

You Hongyin's life in the palace is very comfortable. He now has an older brother, Yang Yizhao, who is the son of one of the four concubines, Xianfei. Xianfei is the daughter of Wang Tianzhao, a cabinet minister. She is talented, beautiful and virtuous. Therefore, she not only gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, but also got the title of Xianfei.

In addition to this older brother, there are three younger brothers. One is the third prince Yang Yizheng, the son of a Zhaoyi. His mother died early and he is now raised under the name of Shufei. The fourth prince Yang Yichen, the only son of Lipin, is only five years old. The fifth prince has just come out of the cradle and has not yet been named. He is the son of Ningfei and the younger brother of the eldest princess.

The one who interacted with You Hongyin the most was the eldest son Yang Yizhao. However, Yang Yizhao was already twelve years old, and had reached the age of being a governor. Under the guidance of Concubine Xian, his relationship with his second brother was very bad.

Yes, the relationship was very bad, and it was the kind of relationship that could not even do superficial work in front of the emperor, but Yang Jian never cared about the little friction between brothers. For him, this was a hurdle that his son had to go through. Many of the emperor's necessary skills were practiced on their brothers since childhood.

In fact, in You Hongyin's view, it was precisely because of the conflicts and struggles between the concubines that the princes who had lived with their mothers since childhood were subtly influenced, causing them to fight for the throne like fighting cocks, until only one person was left in the end. And this seemed to be the emperor's purpose, to select the most suitable prince in a way of raising Gu.

However, they did not have the vision to truly observe the general situation of the world. Instead, they followed their mothers to focus on the details, making some small moves, such as winning over, buying off, and marrying, etc. They learned the theories of communication and struggle in the harem of the empress, and then began to use them in the court. In their eyes, there was only the throne. Even if there were princes like Yang Yizhan who seemed to have ideals and dreams, they were all fantasies.

The talented ones were sublimated from these strategies and means, integrated them into the real political field, and enriched their skills in dealing with things. This is a good development. However, how many people can have such talent? More often, this kind of cultivation process raised by the mother in the harem led to the princes' weak character, lack of generosity, and serious selfishness. Even if there were careful teachings from teachers during their growth, it was difficult to correct them, because the mother has the greatest influence on the child.

Unfortunately, there is no smart Cao Cao in this world to scold, "Born in the deep palace, raised by women's hands."

Having already felt the fighting power of his mother, You Hongyin was very calm in class. He and the eldest prince were just nodding friends on weekdays. It was good. Now they were still children, so there was no need to start this kind of political struggle in advance.

The eldest prince Yang Yizhao was a little disappointed recently.

When he was born, there was a period of time when he was the only child in the palace. The days without playmates were very lonely. Later, he heard from his father that he had a little brother, and he was very happy. But when he went back, he saw that his mother had cut off her favorite pot of orchids.

The scene of cutting orchids with a smile made the young Yang Yizhao remember it for a long time, and maybe he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

That was the first time he discovered what was hidden behind the gentle and virtuous smile of his mother. From that day on, he no longer planned to go to play with his second brother.

Somehow, he seemed to have foreseen the future.

When he and his second brother were both enlightened, although their learning progress was different, they were still arranged to take classes in the same room, and several teachers also taught them together. At this time, it was inevitable that the two would be compared.

And the virtuous concubine's requirement for the eldest prince was that he must not lose to his son.

The eldest prince liked to study very much, but he was not very happy when he was forced to compare with others. However, he was a little afraid of his mother, and he could understand that if he had a grandfather who was a university scholar and could not learn better than his second brother who was younger than him, he would be laughed at by everyone.

Then the relationship between the two brothers, which was not very close to begin with, became more and more stiff, and gradually everyone seemed to have tacitly accepted the fight between the two.

But in fact, the biggest disagreement between the two brothers at the beginning was just a quarrel. Later, it seemed that because of a trivial matter, the two really started to fight, and gradually, it became a state that they could not get along in front of their father.

However, recently, Yang Yizhao was a little disappointed. The second brother had begun to be too lazy to quarrel, and it seemed that there was no meaning to fight alone☆

The complexity of eunuchs comes from their personalities. Everyone knows that eunuchs are physically disabled, so they love money. But how could all eunuchs be like this? According to You Hongyin's observation, the cultural level of eunuchs varies. Some of them are like palace maids, and they are not very literate. They do like money. However, some eunuchs were not sold into the palace because of poverty. They may have been educated, which led to their reading and literacy, and their minds are more complicated.

But these are not the reasons for You Hongyin to employ people. Their life philosophy is none of his business. When he selected eunuchs, he first eliminated those with mental disabilities.

How could the people who work in the intelligence system be those who have abnormal thoughts in their hearts because of their physical disabilities? That would be too fragile.

Among the palace maids, those who wanted to climb up, those who were content with poverty and hoped to be sent home when the time came, and those who were ignorant and could not understand the situation were not the ones selected by You Hongyin.

The extremely high requirements made You Hongyin select very few targets in the end, and among these people, there might be people of a certain concubine.

Every day, You Hongyin was like playing a detective game, carefully selecting suspects, analyzing people from the inside out, and finally taking targeted actions.

In a year, he only accepted five people, four palace maids and one eunuch.

In terms of psychological quality, eunuchs have too many shortcomings after all, and are not as useful as palace maids.

On this day, after school, the third brother who came to class for fun ignored his eldest brother as usual, and You Hongyin came to the library.

The library covers a large area and is quite remote. Generally, if you want a book, you should send servants to borrow it. However, in order to wander around the palace and collect information from all over, You Hongyin always goes to the library by himself.

He went to the library for no other reason, just to look through some sealed red comments.

Those memorials that have expired and have been processed will be sealed up, but compared with the future archive management awareness, in the eyes of people nowadays, these are things that have expired and have no much value, so they are just sealed in the library. Every once in a while, there will be a special Hanlin Academy official to sort them out, record and extract the key points, compile them into books, etc.

You Hongyin came to look through these things, of course, not openly, but because the young eunuch who managed them was very good to him, this matter became a secret between the two of them.

The young eunuch who managed these things was called Xiao Yinzi, and he was the apprentice of the eunuch who managed the library. If You Hongyin was not still young, he would have asked to keep him by his side.

Xiao Yinzi was born a criminal, but he was exempted from his crime by entering the palace after being castrated. It can be seen that he had a very good education when he was young, and he was smart and clever, so he was accepted as an apprentice by Wang, the steward of the library.

In the inner palace, there may be many eunuchs who can do various things and show their faces in front of various masters, but those who can be stewards of the library are not ordinary people.

Although the library is called the library, it is actually more like an archive management office. One part is a vast collection of various royal books, and the other part is a sealed place for various affairs of the palace. In addition to the emperor's red seal, there are also the sealed documents of the queen and various departments of the palace. Although the two most important things, accounts and personnel transfers, are not kept here, in You Hongyin's view, those seemingly unimportant things are much clearer and more detailed than simple accounts and personnel transfers.

Therefore, the steward eunuch of the library must be a person who is deeply trusted by the royal family, and at the same time, he is a person who can endure loneliness and is very smart.

"Your Highness is here again?" Xiao Yinzi is two years older than You Hongyin, but he is still a minor.
