Controlling and Controlling People
by Zou Jimeng
About This Novel
In the arena of power, what is about is not benevolence and righteousness, but control; not emotion, but calculation. In the world of power, people are never goals, but tools. How to make smart people work for themselves, make loyal people dare not cross the line, let ambitious people check each other, and finally only one center of power is left? How the emperor used "favor" to create dependence and "law" to create fear; how powerful ministers planned alliances under the imperial power and were ready to abandon their sons at any time; how counselors protected themselves between being used and counter-used, and even turned against the guests. "Controlling people" allows him to see hope, but he can never touch the boundaries; "controlling people" makes him fearful, but he can't find an outlet for resistance.
