Chapter 575 Ten Thoughts
When Master Chen, Mr. Lu and Wang Fuzhi heard that their master was going to splash ink, they immediately became excited and took out the pens, inks, papers and inkstones they had collected for many years.

Today, my master, the world-sage sage Yang Chen, wanted to splash ink here, and Master Chen immediately took out his treasures without hesitation. He knew that the articles written by his master were all classics handed down from generation to generation.

It would be a great honor for Master Chen to use his own collection.

Soon Master Chen took out his treasures, Yang Chen took the pen, and thought for a moment, an article that has been passed down through the ages, circulated in his pen, the pen was full of brilliance, brilliance, and talent , The light shines through the paper.

This is a very famous article called "Remonstrating Taizong Shisishu".

It talks about the principle of governing the country for the king. It is easy to understand and straightforward, but the truth is profound and thought-provoking.

But some of the words were modified by Yang Chen.

"Ten Thoughts to Admonish Kings of All Nations"!
In this world, there are thousands of countries, and this article by Yang Chen will surely be spread and known to the world.

When Yang Chen was writing the title of this article, many scholars gathered around. When they saw the title, they all thought about it. This is an essay written for the kings of the world.

The principle of governing the country for the king must be contained in it.

But everyone didn't think that Yang Chen would have such insight at such a young age. After all, the principle of governing the country and the world requires not only rich knowledge, but also extraordinary wisdom and experience.

With a brush and a brush, an article appears on the paper, and every word gives people a feeling of force piercing the back of the paper and scratching with iron hooks.

The article is as follows:

The minister heard: Those who seek the elders of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their springs; those who think about the security of the country must accumulate their virtues and righteousness.The source is not deep but the stream is far away, the root is not strong but the tree is long, the virtue is not strong but thinks about the governance of the country, even if the minister is stupid, he knows it is impossible, how much more enlightened?The ruler of the people is the most important artifact, the largest in the domain, and the majesty of the sky, and will remain boundless forever.Don't think about danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and be frugal, don't be virtuous, and love is beyond your desire, so you cut down the roots in order to grow trees, and you want to grow long after blocking the source.

Every hundred heads of state, who inherit the fate of heaven and earth, are all concerned about the way, and their virtues decline when their achievements are successful.Is it easy to take but difficult to keep?In the past, there was more than enough to take it, but now it is not enough to keep it, why?When a husband is in Yin and worry, he must treat his subordinates wholeheartedly, and if he has achieved his ambition, he will indulge in arrogance; sincerity will make Wu and Yue one, and arrogance will lead to the journey of flesh and blood.Even though Dong Zhi punished him severely and shocked him with might and anger, he was finally spared without being benevolent, courteous but not convinced.Resentment is not great, but people are to be feared; when a boat is overturned, it is advisable to be cautious.The rotten cable of a Mercedes-Benz, can it be ignored?

A gentleman, if he can see what he wants, he will know enough to guard himself; if he is about to do something, he will think of knowing and stopping so as to calm others; When you travel around, you think about the three drives; if you are worried and slack, you think carefully about the beginning and respect the end; If you are happy, you will be rewarded with false rewards; if you are punished, you will think that you will not be angry and punish you indiscriminately.In summary, ten thoughts, greatness and nine virtues, let them be simple and capable, choose the good and follow them, then the wise will do their best, the brave will do their best, the benevolent will spread their benefits, and the believers will be loyal; , You can enjoy the joy of traveling in Yu, you can raise the life of Songqiao, and you can play the piano and hang the arch, without saying a word.Why bother to think hard, take over the duties of the next generation, serve the eyes and ears of wisdom, and lose the way of doing nothing?

This article is full of wisdom and principles of governing the country.

In particular, one of the sentences, "When the boat is overturned, it is necessary to be cautious" is even more deafening and thought-provoking.

It is like a wake-up call, which makes people look back fiercely and know what is right now rather than what was wrong yesterday.

The number of words in the article is not many, and it is very easy to understand. Soon there are scholars who explain this article to other people in common words.

The meaning of this article is, I heard that if you want a tree to grow, you must make its foundation stable; if you want a river to flow for a long time, you must dredge its source; moral benevolence.

It is impossible for a water source to flow far without a deep source, a tree to grow without a strong root, and a stable country without deep morality.

The monarch holds the great responsibility of running the country, occupies a great position in the world, respects the majesty of the imperial power, and always maintains the endless beauty.If you don't think of danger in a comfortable environment, abstain from extravagance and practice frugality, your morals will not be honest, and your temperament will not overcome your desires.

It's like cutting off the roots of a tree but wanting the tree to grow luxuriantly, blocking the spring but wanting the water to flow forever!

It is true that the ancient monarchs who received the great order of heaven did a lot of things well at the beginning, but very few of them could persevere to the end.Is it easy to win the world, but difficult to hold it?It is probably because they will treat their subordinates with sincerity when they are in deep trouble, and once they are successful, they will indulge their lust and look down on others.With all sincerity, even hostile countries like Wu and Yue can be united as a whole; if you look down on others, close relatives will be as distant as passers-by.

Even if you use harsh punishments to punish people and intimidate people with majesty and anger, the result is that people can only seek to escape punishment, but they will not miss the kindness of the monarch. On the surface, they are respectful, but in their hearts they are not convinced.

Resentment is not big or small, it is only the people who are terrible.The people are like water, they can carry boats or capsize them, so we should be especially cautious about this.

As a monarch and minister, you can really do it: when you see what you want, you think of knowing enough to warn yourself; And strengthen self-cultivation; afraid of pride and complacency, think of the rivers and seas living in the lower reaches of hundreds of rivers; like hunting and entertainment, you should think of the etiquette of the monarch who can only hunt three times a year; When you are afraid of slander, you think of correcting yourself to repel evil villains; when you bestow favors on others, you think of not giving improper rewards just because you are happy; when you punish people, you think of not being angry And indiscriminate punishment.

Complete the above ten aspects, expand the cultivation of the nine virtues, select talented people and appoint them, choose noble people and follow them, then the wise people can give full play to their resourcefulness, and the brave people will be To the best of their strength, the philanthropic will extend their favor, and the honest will give their loyalty.

Civil servants and military generals are all appointed, and there is no problem between the monarch and his ministers. They can enjoy the fun of play, live a long life, hang their clothes on their hands, and govern in peace.

Why bother to think hard, perform the duties of hundreds of officials, and drive smart courtiers to achieve the rule of inaction advocated by Taoism.
