772 Heart-to-heart between master and apprentice
Xiao Lotian patted Jae-chun's shoulder and said, "Child, you should go back and look in the mirror, take a good look at you now, and see your changes yourself......"
"What is education? Is it really that you can memorize all the ancient classics, write the brush characters praised by Wang Xizhidu, and catch up with Yan Hui and Yanagi Hui with high morals...... A good person who is educated in this way is a good emperor?"
"Silly boy, sometimes morality is perfect, which is synonymous with waste, every morality is a bondage, and in the end it will tie you into a big cocoon that makes you unable to move......"
"You don't always look at what you have lost, you have to be brave enough to show the world what you have gained...... Look at yourself, I remember when I saw you last year, the thick fur clothes in winter wrapped you like a dumpling, and your little face was unhealthy and pale!"
"But what about you now, your skin is ruddy and concerned, your eyes are bright, your body and bones have also risen a lot, and your whole person has a spirit...... How to describe it? In the Forbidden City, you were a big green worm wriggling on the ground, but now you are an aggressive little praying mantis!"
This metaphor is too inappropriate, Jaechun said with a bitter face, "Can't you change the analogy, why is it a big green worm and a praying mantis......"
"Okay, okay, you used to be a sick cat, and now you are a little tiger...... That's a lot!"
"Silly boy, do you know what characteristics of emperors and emperors who have been famous in history since ancient times?" Jae-chun shook his head in confusion.
"Stupid, I knew you wouldn't guess, the biggest characteristic is to live a long life...... Qin Shi Huang lived to be 49 years old, which seems to be a short time, but don't forget, the average life expectancy of people in the pre-Qin period was only forty or fifty years old......
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived to be 70 years old, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty lived to be 50 years old, Wu Zetian lived to be 81 years old, and Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty lived to be 77 years old......"
"There is also Ming Taizu who lived to be 70 years old, and Ming Chengzu who lived to be 64 years old...... Not to mention Kangxi and Qianlong, one lived to be 68 years old, and the other lived to be 88 years old......"
"Silly boy, even if they live for the age they live, they must also be the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch! Do you think, Emperor Gao Zongchun lived to be 88 years old, how many people in the world can live so long? Many people have only seen this one emperor from birth to death, do you know how huge the power of this inertia is?"
"As long as you ensure that you live a long time and that the situation can be controlled and does not collapse, then sooner or later this empire will run according to your ideas...... Because you can boil those naysayers to death without killing them!"
"When you are older, when the courtiers are all your descendants, and the politicians who can resist you have all returned to their hometowns, do you say that there will be obstacles to your governance? You can control the power of the court without bloodshed......
Xiao Letian said with a sly smile: "For example, Emperor Jiajing, an addict who takes drugs and alchemy, actually lived to be sixty years old? And he has never been to the court, just such a typical faint monarch can control the Ming Dynasty for a full 45 years!"
"No, Master, Teacher Weng once said that the traitors of the Jiajing Dynasty were rampant, and Yan Song's father and son controlled the government and did all kinds of evil......
"Cut!" Xiao Letian said disdainfully, "Then who was the last to dismiss Yan Songguan? Who was the one who killed Yan Song's son Yan Shifan? Isn't it Emperor Jiajing? Don't forget, Yan Song is an official promoted by Jiajing, and no matter how powerful he is, it is also given by the emperor, so it is not easy to let him die?"
"Whoever gives you the power can easily take it, and you have to keep that firmly in mind...... How domineering the Eight Tigers were during the Zhengde years, but in the end, Emperor Zhengde handed out a small note two fingers wide in the leopard room, and he wiped out the Eight Tigers with this piece of paper......"
"Why, because the power was given to them by the emperor, they could take it away at any time, this is the law of the world that cannot be changed...... Zaichun, you remember, when you become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you first have to consider who gave you this power, then those people also have the ability to take back power......"
Zaichun's face turned white, and he muttered to himself: "Who gave me the power? I am the only son of the first emperor, if I don't inherit the throne, who will inherit it? This is a matter of course?"
"Uh......" Xiao Lotian roared, and according to Zaichun's brain, it was a brain melon collapse, "Stupid! You are really incorrigible!
The loyal guards and eunuchs under the little emperor in the distance no longer dared to look at it, their hearts were crying, this Xiao Lotian was too rebellious, and now he can't remember how many brains he has given the emperor, although this master is a thousand good, but he dares to physically punish students, and this point has already erased all his credit.
But it's weird, the little emperor ate this, which made Xiao Letian's tears flow out, but he didn't mean to resist at all.
"Fool, idiot! Let people shout long live and shout stupid, right? Righteousness is very useful, but who is the person who operates it? If power wants to work, it must need people......
"Even if it is the last photo of the emperor, you have to be executed by the courtiers, right? No matter how good your inheritance is, there must be countless courtiers who support you with practical actions, so that you can sit firmly on the throne...... And those people are the ones who gave you power, although it is a bit of a leverage, but you can't sit on the throne without them at that time......"
"You ascended the throne, they stabilized the situation for you, they fought the war for you, and the so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing was also created by them, these people are the givers of power for you!"
"These people are your benefactors at all times, and you cannot effectively control them, so they will always be an unstable factor in your governance...... They are also successful, and I am afraid that they will also lose in the future!"
"Therefore, there are only two choices in front of you, one is to 'boil' to use your young life to survive them, and when you grow up and the court is your descendant, the natural rights will be concentrated in your hands...... And the second way is to 'grab' this I don't need to say more, you should understand ......"
Xiao Letian said a little deep today, Jaechun obviously needs time to digest, Xiao Letian did not continue to dwell on this topic, "Just now I said that you have changed in the past year, the first important thing is health, I think you should understand......"
"What is the second major change? That is, you have been recognized by the two countries of Ryukyu and Fuso, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has been resident in these two countries, and they are already very close to you emotionally, not to mention that you have given Fuso the name of the country and built the Fuso Bank......
"The third big change is the army, you Zaichun is not alone now, the four guards have been honed into excellent grassroots officers, and the children of the Eight Banners of the three hundred Beijing City are almost trained now, this is the strength of a standard battalion!"
"Silly boy, just wait for Weng Tonggong to praise you!"
Note: There will be one shift tonight, three shifts today!
