Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 844

Due to the small size of the side hall, there is a brazier, and the indoor temperature is significantly higher.

After Li Zhiyun sat down, Li Chengzhao stood in front of him.

"Sit down and warm up with me."

"Yes."

The father and son were roasting by the fire, and no one spoke for a while.

Li Zhiyun gently rubbed his palms and asked, "Do you still remember how I taught you how to analyze problems?"

"Remember, first of all, we must distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. If the main contradiction is not resolved, only the secondary contradiction is resolved, and the fundamental problem is not solved. In addition, specific problems should be analyzed in detail, and they should not be confused. We must look at the problem dialectically, not just look at one side .” Cheng Zhao replied.

"Well, what kind of contradiction do you think this case belongs to?"

"Secondary conflict." Chengzhao didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Actually, Hai'er knows very well that what Hai'er does does not solve the fundamental problem, it can only be regarded as mending."

"Then what do you think is the main conflict?" Li Zhiyun asked again.

Chengzhao thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I once read an essay in a book, saying that the white deer is an auspicious beast, so in ancient times, the lucky officials all hunted the white deer like a fish, and presented it to the king. In order to seek favor, if things go on like this, the white deer disappears, and this matter never happens again, and it turns into hunting other "auspicious beasts". People are divided into three, six, and nine classes. Merchants may not be able to do it. If there is no business, there will be no such tragedy. In addition, the teaching of virtue, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness cannot be slackened for a day. Seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, ignorance, and anger are the heart of a person."

Looking at the face that looked more and more like his own when he was young, Li Zhiyun couldn't help saying: "You have read a lot of books."

"I dare not, the child will not dare not to read whatever the father wants the child to read. In addition, the queen mother often encourages the child to teach the child to read clearly." Cheng Zhao said truthfully.

Li Zhiyun reached out and patted his little head lightly, and said: "Reading is good, it can let you know a lot of things, but what you learn on paper is always superficial."

"Yes, the child understands the truth."

Li Zhiyun withdrew his hand and asked again: "How do you think the main conflict will be resolved?"

Li Chengzhao was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I'm afraid this contradiction cannot be completely resolved."

"How to say?"

"My child thinks that people are noble or inferior. Although the father and emperor often teach the children that the people are water and the king is a boat, water can carry a boat or overturn it, and warn children and ministers that the heart of the people is the foundation of the country, but the people themselves actually think that people are There are distinctions between high and low, so how can we talk about officials and honors. If we want to solve it thoroughly, it will affect the whole body."

Very well, let me teach you without wasting.

"Then tell me, is there a distinction between high and low?" Li Zhiyun continued to ask.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Li Chengzhao's forehead, he thought about it, and didn't know how to answer.

Li Zhiyun didn't ask him any more, but just quietly waited for his answer.

There was no one else in the side hall, only their father and son. After they were silent, the whole room was naturally silent.

slap.

The brazier burst into sparks, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.

"No." After Li Chengzhao finished speaking, he seemed to be exhausted, not daring to look into his father's eyes.

"Why not?" Li Zhiyun asked lightly.

Li Chengzhao took a deep breath, and replied with a desperate attitude: "Shang lost the country, Zhou Zi replaced it, won Qin and lost the deer, Pei Gong rose from the local area, after Wei Wu eunuch, Jin Sima was not born a royal nobleman, as for..." Speaking Here, he really didn't dare to continue talking about the history behind him, so he could only conclude: "Heroes don't ask about their origins, recklessness only waits for the right time."

"Hahahahahaha." Li Zhiyun laughed loudly.

Li Chengzhao lowered his head, not daring to speak.Empress Yang taught him not to lie to his father since he was a child, so that's all he could say.

After Li Zhiyun finished laughing, he said, "You're right. A hero doesn't care about his origin, and his recklessness only waits for the right time. This world is like this. There is no king who loses his virtue to lose the world, but only loses the hearts of the people. My family, my ancestor No one knows what it is like. The reason why my Li family was able to win the country is because of the word "people's hearts".

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought he was smart and was eager for quick success. He was a dead family and didn't care about the lives of the people in the world, so he died and the country was destroyed.I'm not saying that he did something wrong, but that he never took the word "people" into his heart.The king regards the people like dogs, and the people regard the king as an enemy.

Since I ascended the throne, every battle will count on the livelihood of the people. If the livelihood of the people is cut off, it must not be done.Therefore, whenever an enemy country is destroyed, I will take its livestock, enslave its people, and give back to the people of our empire.

If the people are not in chaos, the country is not in chaos.

How to make people live and work in peace and contentment?

In the king, in the virtuous minister, in the capable minister. "

"My child, remember father's teaching." Li Chengzhao heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Zhiyun asked with a smile, "Are you nervous just now?"

"Yes." Li Chengzhao said: "I really don't know how to answer the question of my father. I read history books and found that there are few kings born with nobles. I really don't know why some people are born to be kings and some are born to be people. Self-awareness, I realized that the so-called destiny is nothing more than foolish people. Since the Qin Dynasty, the founders of the dynasties of all dynasties have not come from a high family background. Only after the emperor opened his mind did he realize that the so-called destiny is actually the will of the people."

"That's right, you're right." Li Zhiyun said: "The destiny is actually the hearts of the people. Whoever treats the people well will be loyal to them. If anyone doesn't take the people seriously, the people won't take him seriously either." .”

Li Chengzhao swallowed softly, and said, "I thought the father would blame me."

"Why should I blame you?" Li Zhiyun asked him first, and then said with a smile: "You and my father and son don't have to hide it. Do you think those aristocratic officials don't know this truth?
No, they always knew.When the country was lost in the former Sui Dynasty, they settled their sons all over the world. What they called was just the prosperity and wealth of a family.As the emperor, if I can't discern the true from the false, how can I make the Nuo Empire prosper forever.

Zhao'er, you must always keep in mind that you can't listen to one side and believe in another, and judge the truth or falsehood of things. You have to see, listen, and find the answer yourself.

You do understand a lot now, but do you really understand the common people?
Do you know what they want?

Can you stick to your heart? "

After asking three times in a row, Li Chengzhao fell into silence.

What is on paper is always shallow. What is on paper is always shallow. I understand.

"Father, my child understands."

Li Zhiyun didn't answer him, but said: "I'm tired, you can go down."

"Yes, baby, leave." Li Chengzhao stood up and saluted, and then slowly withdrew.

The fire light danced in Li Zhiyun's eyes, showing that he was full of thoughts.

Among the children under his knees, Cheng Zhao is the most good-for-nothing one at the moment. I don't know how much he can understand what I mentioned.

To raise an heir, you have to start from a young age. Now that Goguryeo is gone, and there are no strong enemies around Datang, he can slowly guide this child, let him grow up, and protect him.

What makes him happy is that Chengzhao has never gotten too close to the aristocratic family in these years, even the Hongnong Yang family kept them at a respectful distance.Among them, there is not only the wisdom of the child, but also the cleverness of Queen Yang.

Then the rest is the influence of his own father's precepts and deeds.

Let them understand the truth first, straighten their hearts, understand morality, and know good and evil, and then teach them how to govern the world and make the Tang Dynasty prosperous forever.
