Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 267 Peerless Tianjiao (recommended subscription, written by Wu Zetian)
Li He didn't leave immediately, and asked his doubts first. Since the content of the professor is about employing people, he must ask clearly if he doesn't understand.

"It is said in the book that only talent is used, but this talent, grandson doesn't understand. How can one judge whether a person is talented, whether he is suitable for a certain official position, and what is the relationship between his life and background and talent?"

The answer to this question was also answered and learned by Emperor Wu for many years.

She didn't answer right away, but asked Li He another question, "How do your parents employ people?"

Li He: "My mother thinks a lot about employing people, my grandson doesn't know much about it, and my father's employing people is even more chaotic.

Mothers often consider closeness, position and power, official voice and performance, and handling style.As for talent, Sun'er couldn't tell from the information. "

Emperor Wu: "Then learn to read from now on.

Your father employs people based on likes and dislikes, with too much personal emotion mixed in, and his quick thinking leads to changeable things.Being appointed by him, in my opinion, is just a matter of good luck and at the right time.Who wouldn't want a fat job like Wu Yanxiu? What does Wu Yanxiu's appointment have to do with him?
There is nothing wrong with your mother being cautious and conservative in employing people, but it is hard to make great achievements.This is not her strong point, so I have to teach you earlier. "

Li He nodded yes.

Emperor Wu continued, "It is said in the book that a wise ruler should not be nepotistic, but must use talents.

What is a virtuous person is for the government to be able to secure the people of one side, and for the general to be able to guard the territory of one side.

What is ability, the superior can be relied on highly by the superior, and the subordinate can be loyally admired by the subordinate.

Sage, may not be able to.Those who are capable may not necessarily be virtuous.

There is no one in a thousand who is worthy. "

Li He thought to himself, whether to use the virtuous or the capable, how do you know whether a person is capable or virtuous?

Emperor Wu continued, "Everyone has likes and dislikes. Only those who can be trusted by others can be regarded as capable. People who have the opportunity to appear around you but cannot be trusted and recognized by you will naturally not get the opportunity to be appointed. But I can't grasp it, and I can't afford to be a capable word.

People in the world can only understand the people around them, and it is impossible for me to know whether the small people in the frontier can do great things.

With the weight of a country on your shoulders, you can only use trusted people.

To use people, you must use those who can.

A virtuous person is whether he understands the major affairs of the country, whether he can solve the needs of the people, whether he is bold and daring to be the first in the world, and whether he is fair in dealing with things.These are the criteria by which people judge the virtuous.

Being able to discover the problems of the people and propose many solutions to the problems can also be called some talent.However, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Having a method does not mean that it can be implemented, nor does it mean that it can be successful.

Before the appointment, there is no way to know whether a person is good or not, only gambling.Appoint small officials first, and slowly inspect them. If they are meritorious, they will be promoted according to their achievements.

Understand? "

Li He: "Understood. Only those trustworthy people can be appointed. Those who are not bad in character and not too ambitious. If they are wise, they can be given important tasks."

Emperor Wu asked again, "What about those who are not wise enough?"

This is the point, there is only one wise person in a million, but if the country is to be prosperous and the society must be progressing, not everyone can be unparalleled in intelligence.Such mediocre people are the vast majority of officials.

Li He replied, "It can be imitated. If they can't solve the problems, people stronger than them can solve them. As long as they follow the orders and follow the gourd's drawing, they can solve all kinds of problems.

If you can take the initiative to observe and learn from places with good political performance, you will be motivated and wise.On the contrary, they have no talents themselves, and they have to be officials, so they will be more fortunate and cherish them, and show more.

As for those who can't solve the problem, are unwilling to make progress, and can't even follow orders well, they can't be used. "

"Those who are virtuous but incompetent?"

"Those who are virtuous but incompetent may not necessarily be unusable, but they cannot be used to great effect."

Emperor Wu nodded, "Rubbers can be taught.

There are many people in this world who think that their talents and learning are unparalleled, and their talents are underappreciated. They belong to this category.If you can't do small things well, but you want to do big things, it's foolish.

No matter whether they are high officials in the court or generals in the army, they are all recognized and promoted step by step. Whether they come from aristocratic families or noble families, they just have different starting points, but no one has ever been able to reach the sky in one step.

The same is true in the royal family, even the emperor must win the struggle of many princes in order to inherit the throne.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there was a tradition of establishing the eldest son, most monarchs did not follow it.If the eldest son can't win over the hearts of the officials and gather strength, he will definitely not be able to escape being deposed or even killed, do you understand? "

Li He's heart tightened. This meant that he, the heir-to-be, was only temporary. If he did not perform well, he would have no good fruit. "The grandson will definitely live up to His Majesty's teachings."

Emperor Wu continued, "Most people in this world live a very ordinary life, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and it goes round and round.

However, you are luckier than most, born with many privileges and the ability to choose your own destiny.

Even if you don't want to work hard, you won't live a miserable life, you don't have to be forced to work, to make a living and suffer, and you don't stop working.

But you have to remember, how you deserve this happiness is because of your birth, and you were lucky to be born in the royal family.

As long as the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, this country will be held in the hands of Li's descendants, and your descendants will be able to enjoy this kind of happiness.Every descendant of the Li family has a mission to protect the stability of the country and the power in your hands, not only for the glory of the ancestors, but also for the descendants of future generations. "

Li He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Never forget His Majesty's teachings and mission of protecting the country."

But, Your Majesty, your surname is Wu.

Emperor Wu smiled kindly, as if he had sensed Li He's thoughts, and seemed to be mocking himself, "I also thought about building a Wu Zhou Empire and passing down my country from generation to generation, but my sons were not named Wu, so they changed their surnames. That one was not sincere, and my daughter,...

Not to mention.

If Taiping hadn't been my most beloved daughter, and because of her insistence back then, I would have taken this piece of land if I took it, and Li Tang would only be the old flower of yesterday.

But the world is unpredictable, I lost to myself in the end. "

Emperor Wu was a little sad, but he calmed down in a second, "It's just that I don't want to, not that I can't."

The only person in this world who can beat me is myself.

Li He didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he could only freeze. Didn't he talk about employing people? Why did he talk about Jiangshan's mission again.

I listen, Your Majesty is right.

This is what my mother said, and my father said it, and what my mother said was true.

So, mothers are all right.

He doesn't understand, the loneliness of an invincible emperor.In just a few decades of her life, she defeated all her opponents one by one. In the end, she ascended to the position that no one dared to imagine and became the first female emperor in history. No one dared to oppose her, and no one dared to oppose her. Those who oppose can succeed.

I still remember what my mother told him when I was a child, a Taoist priest said that she would be the emperor in the future.

She really did it, as long as she wanted, she could get it.

　Wu Zetian successfully proved that success has nothing to do with gender, it's just much harder.

　　Wu Zetian proved that success has nothing to do with gender, Jiang Ziya proved that success has nothing to do with age, Zhu Yuanzhang proved that success has nothing to do with birth, Ma Yun proved that success has nothing to do with appearance, Bill Gates proved that success has nothing to do with education, and I am more powerful. I proved that success has nothing to do with me.
