Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 402 The Ideal

Extraordinary people should do extraordinary things.What is an extraordinary move?In the eyes of many people, siege of cities and territories and slaughter on battlefields are extraordinary actions.Or it is an extraordinary move to fight against all opinions in internal affairs, insist on the correct approach, and win in the end.But in fact, extraordinary actions are in the little things in daily life.

A good fighter has no great achievements.This is not to say that good fighters do not fight, but that through daily management, training and other small things, sufficient conditions have been prepared for victory.The enemy either dare not fight, or loses quickly, just like a seven-foot man against a child.

Many people don't pay attention to little things.If you feel that you are a person who does great things and cares about trivial matters, isn't it an overkill?

Actually not.Those in power can ignore small things, but they cannot ignore right and wrong.Many things around us may seem small, but they are not unimportant.Those who are interested in big things start from small things and finally achieve a system.

The three of Wang Xiaolie talked about Shen Zun here, and even thought he was flawed.In fact, this is far from the case in the eyes of the world.Some people would indeed feel sorry for Yuniang's death, but Shen Zun was rarely blamed.There are even many people who believe that Shen Zun's resolute abandonment of Yuniang guaranteed the success of Xiancheng, and he has the style of a general.After dedicating the city, Shen Zun's work was clear and orderly, and Wei Yang relied heavily on him, which was even more enviable.

After taking a sip of wine, Wang Xiaolie said: "Actually, I don't like people like Shen Zun very much. In order to achieve success, he can easily sacrifice others. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is the benevolence of a woman. Although I don't like , but I will still use Shen Zun, and I will not underestimate him. Put yourself in the situation, under the circumstances at that time, if Shen Zun wanted to sacrifice the city, he would definitely not tell Yuniang the news. Asking him, it is impossible to admit it face to face. But, if I think about it, Shen Zuncong should not let Yuniang sing in the first place. Without Yuniang, could Wei Yang not be able to enter the city?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Judging from the official documents to Guozhou, it is Jin Jiang who asked Yuniang to go up and sing, and Shen Zun couldn't refuse."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not easy to refuse, so there are many ways to hide Yuniang, or open the city to send people out. All in all, Shen Zun has many reasons for this matter, but these reasons can't convince me. I think, how much Years later, I can't convince future generations. Therefore, using Shen Zun is just appointment, not selection. In my eyes, this is not a sage."

Wang Ruohai sighed and said nothing.

Li Yanxian said: "The people in charge of our army have all kinds of temperaments. If there is no tolerance, how can we lead soldiers?"

"Jing Lue is right!" Wang Xiaolie nodded heavily. "People who lead our troops to power must be tolerant. The people under them have things they like, and some don't like them, or even hate them. Likes and dislikes are our personal emotions, and it's inevitable. But we can't let One's own emotions affect official affairs. In terms of official affairs, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be relegated will be relegated. If you act according to your own emotions, wouldn't you become a treacherous minister in history? That's why I say that there is a difference between selecting talents and appointing them. Ability. When there are enough talents, first select the talents, and then choose the talented ones among them. If there is a shortage of talents, the selection of the talents is the selection of the talents, and the appointment of the talents is the appointment of the talents. The two cannot be mixed. And the officials employed must have a strict supervision system. Without supervision, blindly employing people will suffer in the end.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie said with some emotion: "In my opinion, being an official should be very simple. It is not difficult to do things well according to the rules, try to understand the intentions of the superiors, and strictly supervise the subordinates. But in fact, Being an official is very complicated. Because most of the things you do involve power, and power involves interests and even human life. No matter how clear the rules are, there will always be people who want to play tricks inside. With this mind, being an official is extremely complicated .Coupled with the support of relatives and friends, the support of the same party, and the consideration of future generations, I don’t know how many twists and turns.”

Wang Ruohai said: "This is inevitable. If it is simple, talents will not be so rare."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We don't want to make it so complicated, we should try to be as simple as possible. Many things should not be done by officials, so we try our best to prevent them. For example, the avoidance law is sometimes strict and sometimes loose. We must try to be as strict as possible. Officials should actively avoid If you don’t evade, you will be punished. I can’t do it here. The power of officials must be separated from relatives and friends. Anything that involves money must have nothing to do with officials. The money spent by officials is allowed to return to their own hands. All kinds of things must be strictly managed.”

Li Yanxian said with a smile: "Zhenfu, this will lose people's hearts."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "If you lose people's hearts like this, you don't have to care about such people. Alas, this kind of thing is easy to say and logical, but it is very difficult to actually implement it. But then again, it is difficult. If we do something, we will be able to do it.”

Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai did not speak.

Wang Xiaolie understood that if he wanted to truly achieve this kind of thing, he had to start from himself.Only when you do it yourself can you ask your subordinates, and others have nothing to say.Just start from yourself, it is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do.

For a person to be in power, he must have one or several groups that firmly support him.How to maintain the loyalty of this group?You can promote them, make them rich, give them privileges, and even marry them to form a small group.These methods have been used by people, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

These small groups cannot escape a rule.It only takes one or two generations, decades, and their offspring feel superior and different from birth.They either call themselves nobles, or form small groups, making ups and downs.And it is always unavoidable that those who are a little smarter and more capable among these people think that they are geniuses in heaven, and no one else can compare to themselves.In a short time, they will get used to their privilege as a matter of course and unalterable.The rest are just ants in their eyes.It is always inevitable that they will fight among themselves.The internal strife quickly involved the world, and the people buried them in the chaos.

Is there any other way?Yes, relying on ideals to unite people together.In history, the closest group to this was the Liu Bei Group during the Three Kingdoms period.There are naturally interests involved, power struggles, and various struggles within the Liu Bei Group.But in the most core group of people, the light of ideals is always shining.There may not be a three-knot in Taoyuan in history, but the brotherhood of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei is not fake.When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei immediately took revenge with all his troops, and finally defeated Yiling.Visiting the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei said that he wanted to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and believe in righteousness in the world.Basically, Liu Bei did not violate his oath throughout his life.Zhuge Liang devoted himself to death, and lived up to Liu Bei.

There are always wise people who read different meanings about the behavior of this group.It is said that Liu Bei has a black belly, Zhuge Liang is loyal and traitorous, and there is hardly a good person in the group.This statement need not be taken seriously, it just reflects a period of social consciousness, idealism will never be extinguished.

Ideals are fragile and require careful maintenance.But it is easy to destroy, as long as 20 years, the ideal will be like a bubble, and it will be broken with a light touch.The ideals of the past are so wonderful that even later people are afraid to mention them.

Wang Xiaolie is not sure that he can build an idealistic group, but only leaves such hope.At least start with yourself, don't do things that destroy your ideals, and don't establish power groups that rely on interests to maintain your authority.

What will happen in the end?God only knows.Wang Xiaolie didn't know either.
