Chapter 722: Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others
"I know that you are the ones who go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, sit down!" Lu Zhongkai said and looked up at Cheng Feihong and the others, pointed to the opposite seat and motioned for them to take a seat, then poured them three cups of tea very casually, and raised his hand again to invite: "Drink tea!"
Cheng Feihong, Xia Duoluo and Cao Chasing Soul were all a little nervous, and they drank the tea in the cup with trepidation, but they didn't dare to put the teacup back on the table, after all, there was an invisible coercion that made them involuntarily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Cheng Feihong exhaled a deep and gentle breath of turbidity, and raised his courage to say: "Senior Lu, I didn't know that it was your big day a few days ago, and I couldn't come in time to say goodbye......
Lu Zhongkai waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "If you don't want to be driven away by me, don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business!"
Cheng Feihong was suddenly stimulated by the other party's tone and blushed, but he didn't know how to speak.
Xia Duoluo's eyelids jumped wildly, and he was also a little nervous when he observed his words, seeing that the demon king had no master for a while, he had to stretch out his hand and rub his eyes to hide the anxiety in his heart, and at the same time opened his mouth to relieve the siege for the demon king: "Mr. Lu, now the situation in the empire is constantly troubled and external, and the demon king is worried that the chaos in the empire will endanger the safety of the people, so he will be in such a big mess, please forgive me!"
Lu Zhongkai's eyes shot a sharp gaze, looking at the old man in the red robe who spoke, his red hair was tied under the crown of the Dao, his face in the shape of a national character, the bridge of his nose was tall and straight, his round cheekbones were round, his flexible and wise eyes were bright, and his bronzed cheeks were not wrinkled at all, but the only thing he saw was the wisp of white beard, and his broad shoulders protruded from a red robe, which looked burly and majestic.
Lu Zhongkai then changed his peaceful gaze to look directly at Xia Duoluo, and said very casually: "You are the Red Devil Xia Duoluo? I heard that you are a genius in both civil and military affairs, how do you view this imperial turmoil with your resourcefulness?"
"Mr. Lu praised it falsely! Xia Mou is ashamed to be a talent of both civil and military affairs......" Xia Duoluo just wanted to be modest, but found that Lu Zhongkai's gentle gaze instantly turned into a sharp gaze that could penetrate defenses, which made him feel a chill in his heart, so he changed his tone and continued: "The turmoil of the empire will happen anywhere, as the so-called major events in the world, chaos will be governed for a long time, and chaos will be chaotic for a long time, which is the inevitable trend of historical development. If chaos occurs, it will definitely affect the whole body, and the empire will be in danger!"
Lu Zhongkai nodded and said: "Since we can't stop this trend, then we have to find a way to channel it, the chaos is like a torrent that harms the people, only by grasping the key channeling can we solve the crisis, and it is the responsibility of the ruler to bring the chaos to justice, and the winner can achieve long-term peace and stability, and the loser can only change the dynasty." Cheng Feihong, if the empire wants to achieve long-term peace and stability, how should you start?"
Touching Lu Zhongkai's gaze, Cheng Feihong said nervously: "Now that the Great Demon Empire is in internal and external troubles, it is unrealistic to want to quell the chaos in a short period of time. The most serious internal concern is that the current spread of the plague has spread throughout the thirteen halls, and the death toll has exceeded 8,000 people, and the impact has exceeded expectations, and there is still no root cause and no way to prevent it, and I am worried that it will continue to spread. Alas, external troubles are the covetousness of people from other empires to covet the Great Demon Empire, especially the overseas forces have begun to infiltrate the coastal towns, and with their participation and disturbance, the empire will face the end of falling apart sooner or later. ”
Lu Zhongkai took out a medicine bottle and a bamboo slip, placed them on the stone table in front of Cheng Feihong, and said calmly: "This is the antidote to the plague and the method of curing the plague, you take it first to deal with the emergency! Everything is pros and cons, as long as it is 'detected early, the prevention must be strict, the blow must be ruthless, the disposal must be fast, and the cost must be small', nothing can not be solved! Internal and external troubles are mostly based on attacking the heart, and only when the people's will is scattered can the foundation of the country be shaken, so you must firmly grasp the people's heart, that is, to petition the people's feelings, benefit the people's livelihood, Gather the hearts of the people, then it is not so easy for others to overthrow your regime, do you know how to govern the country?"
Cheng Feihong looked left and right at Xia Duolu and Cao Chasing Soul, and then looked at Lu Zhongkai, and said rigorously: "Where the way to govern the country, the people must be enriched first." If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. Therefore, a monarch who is good at presiding over the country must first enrich the people and then govern them. In this way, we will govern the country according to law, build a country under the rule of law, and comprehensively promote the principles of scientific legislation, strict law enforcement, fair justice, and law-abiding by the whole people, so that the country's governance will naturally become stronger and stronger. ”
"Well, your argument is true, but it's very difficult to implement. Lu Zhongkai shook his head as he spoke, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued: "The laws formulated by all empires cannot be equal, so it is difficult for a country under the rule of law to achieve the rule of law. Therefore, you must not be limited to the practice of talking on paper, but must be realistic and practiced, discipline others first, discipline yourself first, be strict with yourself and then be lenient with others, then others will obey your management, so as to achieve the rule of law, as the so-called win the hearts of the people will win the world. ”
In-depth exposition of the inferior nature of human nature, selfish mutual tilting, indeed seriously affected the development of the empire, Cheng Feihong and others admired Lu Zhongkai's clear opinions, thorough analysis of the true meaning of the way of governance, but also emphasized that to be a man should always be vigilant, strict with oneself, lenient with others. After listening to this speech, they felt that the trip was worthwhile.
While digesting the other party's insight, Xia Duoluo raised what he was worried about, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Lu, the outbreak of the plague is not only in the Great Demon Empire, but also in the other five empires, this is obviously the turmoil deliberately planned by people with intentions, if we can't find the people who cast the plague, or if we can't find out their intentions, it is still a big disaster, how do you say we should deal with it?" And I also received news that there are many pirates and overseas hidden masters in the sea areas and the three major ports south of the Great Demon Empire, I am afraid that our people are not enough to resist them, I wonder if Mr. Lu has a good strategy?"
Lu Zhongkai looked up at the three people opposite, drank the cup of tea, shook his head helplessly and said: "Do you think I can't see the ghost tricks of the three of you?" Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, I can tell you one thing, my goal of seclusion has been achieved, and when the empire lives and dies, I will definitely not sit idly by, you can rest assured of this!"
"As for the way, it is not nothing, it is simply to convene the hall masters of the thirteen halls to discuss in the name, those who do not come or delay must have different intentions, this is what you need to verify, and then with vigorous and resolute means or collect or kill, the purpose is of course to deter and win people's hearts, and then to fight against foreign enemies with the strength of the crowd, then it will naturally be much easier!"
