Chapter 708: Escape

"Your Majesty, do you regard material enjoyment as the only criterion for measuring happiness?" Faced with Zhang Nan's sudden question, Li Er also didn't understand what Zhang Nan meant for a while.

"Qingquan, what do you mean by that?" Li Er asked puzzled, Li Er didn't mean anything else when he asked this question, it was just that Li Er didn't understand Zhang Nan's question.

"To put it simply, do you think that as long as you can have glory and wealth, you will be happy?" Zhang Nan explained.

"Of course not, it's not easy for me to make me happy." Li Er shook his head and said.

"Yes, the emperor thinks so, but there are still many people who don't think so, I think the emperor understands this very well." Zhang Nan said.

"Why do I have such a deep understanding?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry when I say this, the ministers have to be the princes, except for the emperor, the few princes you particularly like, the rest of the princes, I'm afraid they won't be able to get into your eyes, the emperor, don't say anything to the ministers, the palms and backs of your hands are meat, the ministers don't believe it." Zhang Nan said.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Li Er paused, and then said: "What you said is right, although they are all my flesh and blood, but it is really disappointing to have a few children." "What Li Er said, the first person to bear the brunt must be Li You.

"Then Your Majesty, have you ever wondered why this is?" Zhang Nan said.

"Why? It's not because they didn't learn and didn't know how to do it since they were young. Li Erdao.

"No, no, no, your majesty, according to the ministers, whether a person's character is good or not has nothing to do with his studies."

"So what do you tell me about?"

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, all your life, the princes are surrounded by eunuchs and slaves, and the stars are holding the moon, and the princes who grew up in this special environment are prone to all kinds of psychological and character problems, the most common being weak will and poor self-control. Demand for immediate satisfaction whenever there is a need, and lack the ability to wait for a delay in satisfying. Zhang Nan said.

Zhang Nan felt that he gave this example was still very appropriate, at least in Comrade Li Er's children, the weak-willed Zhang Nan felt that it was good to describe Li Zhi, and the poor self-control to the previous Li Chengqian was also in the past.

"Makes sense." Li Er nodded, agreeing with Zhang Nan's statement, after all, what is his own child like, can he still be unclear?

"Due to your special identity and status, Your Majesty, you have high expectations for the princes and are very strict. As soon as he came out of his harem, he was surrounded by all kinds of strict rules. This can easily cause the princes' personalities to split and form all kinds of psychological hidden dangers. Zhang Nan said.

"What is a split personality?" Li Er wondered.

"The so-called split personality, to give the simplest example, that is, one set in front of the person, one set behind the other, of course, this is not his subjective, but not under his own control, involuntarily, for example, pretending to be a good child in front of people, but after people are punishing subordinates at will, greedy for pleasure."

"Similar to Yang Guang?" Li Er asked.

"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhang Nan said.

Yang Guang is actually a good example, when Yang Guang was still a prince, Yang Guang's performance can be described as the best among the princes, not only is his performance extremely intelligent, but his life on weekdays is extremely frugal, almost every courtier thinks that Yang Guang, the prince, is even much stronger than the prince at that time, but in the end?

After Yang Guang came to power, everything changed, although Yang Guang's strategic vision was still there, and his intelligence and talent were not left behind, but because he took too big a step and pulled the egg, plus he tried every means to satisfy his desires, he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

In the royal family, there are countless such examples, and many children with extraordinary talents have been destroyed by this special growth environment, such as Yinren, who was established as the crown prince by Kangxi at the age of two because of his "heroic appearance and beautiful appearance".

He was originally a bright, clever child, with superior intelligence and extraordinary appearance. However, due to his long-term position under one person and above ten thousand, his character was seriously deformed, and in front of the emperor, he behaved generously and acted in a lawful manner.

As soon as the emperor turned around, he showed a completely different face, endowed with extravagance, extravagant, demanding, arrogant and tyrannical, doing whatever he wanted, and even beating the king, Baylor, and duke at will. He was bold and lacked self-control, so he even sent people to intercept the envoys of the foreign domains and seize the horses that paid tribute to the emperor, which finally made Kangxi unbearable and had to abolish it.

This can also be seen in the symptoms after Li Chengqian became lame, if Li Chengqian is not in the high-pressure environment of the royal family, then I am afraid that he will be the smart and polite Li Chengqian for the rest of his life.

"Since Qingquan mentioned Yang Guang, I would like to ask you, in my opinion, Yang Guang's strategy and ability to govern the world are not weak, why did he perish so quickly? In my opinion, he is very much in tune with some of the characteristics of those Ming Jun in your mouth, why is he still addicted to wine? According to your thoughts, shouldn't he be a wise man like me? ”

Zhang Nan heard Li Er's question, and he was also quite helpless, Li Er is not Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, then someone said that he was a Ming Jun, although Li Er can afford this name, but this is a little too narcissistic.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask, why Yang Guang is so capable, but he still can't escape the trap of wine? He is rich all over the world, there are so many things he can do, and the life he can experience is so rich, why is he like a small farmer who is rich and does not open his eyes and concentrate on the wine table and bed?" asked Zhang Nan.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Li Erdao.

"According to the minister, this is just a means for Yang Guang to escape." Zhang Nan said.

"Escape? What does he have to run away from? Li Er was really puzzled, Zhang Nan's point of view really made it difficult for Li Er to understand.

"These two things are really fun, but they're not so fun that they kill you. The reason is actually very simple, the weight of power and the strictness of the rules make him unable to bear it, and the expectations of his ancestors, the accusations of his subjects, and when he is absurd in government affairs and seeks pleasure, he cannot but produce a deep sense of guilt, incompetence, and inferiority. Wine and sex were just a place for him to escape. To be precise, people who indulge in alcohol do not necessarily really like these things, but because when they don't do them, they feel bad. ”
