Chapter 015: Talking

"Oops...... Don't help the eldest niece, men and women don't kiss, you're a big girl, when I was a child, I could run around with your bare ass, but now it's not possible. Lao Wen, don't bother with your father and son, I sincerely apologize. You don't think there's a lot of people here, do you? It doesn't matter, you wait, I'll shout, I promise that in less than two quarters of an hour, this place is more crowded than the theater garden, hey, look! I gave ...... "Let Wennan's father and son suffer, Hong Tao has no psychological burden, he deserves it!" Kneel for nothing? But it wouldn't be nice to let Wen Nan's daughter come over and pull with him. But Wen Nan hasn't let go yet, so he will add another fire and shout a few voices, so that everyone in the Huangzhuang can see it, and he can't hold back.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Don't shout! Thisβ€”this is unorthodox, you're going to kill me...... Count me wrong! Syllable! It's a child who is not sensible, can you get up first? I'll break their dog's leg when I go back! It is estimated that Wen Nan's heart at this time is exactly the same as Hong Tao's father's feelings back then, obviously he wants to go over and slap the other party's big mouth, but he still has to persuade others to think about it, and he has to carry other people's mistakes on himself.

"Forgive me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"That's still unforgiving! Hey, come on......"

"Forgive, forgive...... Your Majesty, youβ€”This is not like words! Let's get up, I beg you, no one is allowed to mention this matter, and whoever says another word will be killed by a headlong crash! "In the face of such a scoundrel and two-skinned face, he is still the emperor, even if Wen Nan memorizes all the history books, he can't find any way to deal with it. He knows exactly what Hong Tao wants to do, but it is clear, you have to follow along.

"That's it, hey, hey, hey, or you have a big belly. Tianxiang, get up, don't learn from your father to kneel at every turn, there is something to say, kneeling is better than sitting and saying that it is comfortable, right? Come on, Tianxin, tell your uncle, have you served this year? My salamander is the first in target shooting, you have to work hard! As soon as Wen Nan forgave the three words, Hong Tao fell backwards, from kneeling to sitting, and chatted with Wen Nan's two children like no other.

"You two go back first, let your mother stop nagging, Your Majesty stabbed it, why can't you stab it!" Seeing that his children were at a loss, all Wen Nan could do was to let them get out of here quickly, chatting with this emperor, it was a very brain-consuming thing, the two of them didn't have this capital yet, and it was safer to stay away.

"Hey...... What's the hurry, I said that your tutor is too strict, you see that Wen Xiang is scared, he is twenty-two years old, and he is a father, so you can't give him some freedom? Seeing the two children and the mouse running away like cats, Hong Tao began to complain about Wennan's tutoring problem again, as if what had just happened had never happened.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, can you not do this kind of ...... in the future There is something that loses its majesty! "Hong Tao can pretend to be fine, but Wen Nan can't. If this was placed in the Great Song Dynasty, he would have to write a deep self-blame article when he went home, and then drank poisoned wine. Of course, the Great Song Emperor will not kneel for him, don't even think about it.

"The emperor is first and foremost a person, and then an emperor. I can't say that if I become an emperor, I am not a human being, as long as I am a human being, there is right and wrong. Whether you are an emperor, a prime minister, or a minister, it's best not to think that you are not a human being, in that case, others will not treat you as a human being. I was wrong, I apologize to you, how can I lose my majesty? Am you happy that I am wrong and do not admit it? Forget it, this matter is over, what you said just now, who mentioned breaking someone's leg, right? "Hong Tao likes people like Wen Nan more and more, if the whole world is such a person, he will be shameless, how good it would be!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Originally, I thought I knew His Majesty best, but sometimes I found that I still couldn't understand it. Wen Nan originally wanted to talk to Hong Tao about the majesty of being an emperor, but he didn't know where to start, the kind of emperor he was familiar with could not be on Hong Tao at all.

"Oh? Where do I make you not understand, do you mean tattoos? In fact, Hong Tao also thinks that Wen Nan is the person who knows himself best, which is not to say that he knows his temper and temperament best, but it is easier to understand many of his own thinking patterns.

"It's not a big deal, I just ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. What I don't understand is why Your Majesty has started to meddle in government affairs again, not that you have done something wrong, on the contrary, I also think that some of the original policies are not suitable. But you let Bo Jiao be the prime minister, but from time to time you intervene in the ring with him, which will make Bo Jiao very uncomfortable. I'm glad that the Prime Minister wasn't me, and if it were me, I would be very confused and don't know what to do. "It seems that Wen Nan has not entered a state of rest when he comes back this time, he knows everything that happened in Jinhe City, and now he is fighting for Bo Jiao, or he is testing Hong Tao's true thoughts.

"There is still a problem with the direction you understand, you always think that the government is wrong to admit mistakes and correct mistakes, so that it will lose its prestige, I think it's the opposite. I've never been afraid of people who don't admit their mistakes, because they don't improve. As for prestige, it depends on how you understand it, and if a government wants to run the country by scaring people, it is not difficult to have this kind of prestige. ”

"The government and the people should be like two basically independent businessmen, neither of them is expensive and the other is in charge, each has its own interests, but they must sit together and cooperate, so there is an agreement. The government will have to fulfill its tasks according to the terms of the agreement, and the people will have to fulfill their tasks according to the terms of the agreement. The term of this agreement is very long, and one government and one generation will not be able to implement it at all, so it will be passed down from generation to generation. ”

"If you find something inappropriate in the agreement, you have to sit down and discuss it again, and you can change it only if you agree to it. If one party is not happy, it cannot be changed, let alone forcibly changed. Every change of government and election of legislators is a process of readjusting the agreement. Admitting your mistakes can make the people continue to be willing to cooperate with you when you readjust, it is better than being directly abandoned by the people at that time, right? ”

"Of course, I'm talking about a perfect process, which the empire can't do in its current state, the government can't do it, and the people can't do it. But it doesn't matter, as long as you keep moving towards this goal, you will always get closer and closer. As for whether this goal is right or wrong, no one can answer, and I don't know. This question must also be left to future generations to answer, and now all we can do is think while walking, find mistakes, and adjust them in time, it's as simple as that. "Wen Nan's problem is probably also the problem of many imperial officials, and they can't understand what they want to do as an emperor. But Hong Tao can't talk to them too much, because they can't understand, so he has to let people like Bo Jiao, Kong Pei, and Wen Nan who can partially understand themselves understand, and then slowly persuade others to die of exhaustion on their own.

"Then why doesn't Your Majesty continue to serve as Prime Minister and take us with you, isn't it faster? When you are really old, you will give us the burden, and we should know more than we do now. Wen Nan understood Hong Tao's theory, but he just didn't understand why Hong Tao gave up so early. It is normal to train successors, but this training method is not a bit too blunt, and there is a suspicion of pulling out seedlings.

"It's actually very simple, let's take the analogy of sailing a boat. Now give you a sea boat, can you drive it to the port of Guangzhou? The question raised by Wen Nan is also something that many people don't understand, and Hong Tao is willing to go into more detail.

"Can't...... But it's because I didn't deliberately learn it, and if I did, I should have done it. Wen Nan felt that Hong Tao's analogy was not very accurate.

"No, many sailors and officers were slaves in the first place, and they didn't even go to sea, so they learned the same. People, there is a bad problem, that is, laziness! If you don't push them to the brink, they won't want to learn new things. Another problem is that you still haven't learned to sail a boat, which is that you don't have the opportunity to actually operate at all, no matter whose boat you are on, you are a passer-by. Because you know there's a captain, first mate, helmsman, navigator, and they're going to take you to your destination. ”

"To use another analogy, there are many sailors on the ship, and they can't be officers in their lives, not even helmsmen, why is that? Not to mention the problem of knowledge, Bo Jiao has been to school for a few days, and Carl has never entered the school at all, but he is no worse than the high-achieving officers who have graduated from the school now, why? Hong Tao rejected Wen Nan's answer and then asked another question.

"They don't care about these issues, like me......" Speaking of this, Wen Nan actually roughly understood what Hong Tao was going to say, and he was trying to find out if there was something wrong with Hong Tao's answer.

"Well, that's right, not everyone is qualified to be a captain, first mate, helmsman and navigator, these positions require not only talent, but also rigorous training, which is also a reason that no one on board can do without, but not without a navigator and helmsman. I'm training them to take on these positions right now, and these positions must be practiced personally, constantly practiced, and if there are no big storms, they have to deliberately go to find big storms. Only an officer who has been baptized by a storm can be considered a qualified officer. Just graduating from school is useless, and letting them command a ship to sail away is to make money and kill them. ”

"As for why we have to train a successor so early, I'll tell you the truth, it's not early, it's late. If I had known that these children would become like this, I should have let them go through more storms and waves. Now these young people, especially those who have graduated from nautical schools, are low-eyed and low-minded. Each of them has an ambition in their hearts, but the real skills they have learned are not enough to support their ambition. This was another big mistake I made, because I thought that if I gave them an ambition, they would give the empire a great future. Now it seems that what they bring is not necessarily good, maybe it is a catastrophe. Allowing these little guys to become independent prematurely does not do the empire the slightest. ”

"The reason why I jumped out to intervene in them this time is because I found that they are not yet a qualified state administrator, but they are already busy sailing on the big ship of the Empire. Can I watch them sail the Empire into a sea they can't handle? While I still have the energy and enough ways to deal with them, it's not a bad thing to let them practice more. ”

"If I wait until I'm old, do you think they will listen to me, the waste emperor, when they are in power at that time? They're going to use the rules to kick me out of the way, far away. Don't expect anything from Jinhe and Saifei to help me, the two of them and the kids are all the same, and don't forget, they're also freaks from the nautical school. ”

"Not only did I not be a good founding emperor, but I also didn't be a good father, I spent too little time with them, and if I didn't pay attention, they grew up, and they were no longer those children who hugged my legs all day and wrapped around me and asked me questions. More than anyone else, they want to get out of my wings as soon as possible and fly outside to have a piece of the sky of their own. ”

"You probably didn't know it, but Jin He and Sai Fei have their own small groups in the school, and their groups are not only their classmates, but also former graduates, and even active military officers and government officials. I can't find out who they are now, the Ministry of Supervision is no longer under my control, and the new Minister of Supervision is also a member of these groups. ”

"Do you have a chill down your back when you hear this? Old Wen, let's teach a bunch of bloodthirsty monsters. Don't think that if the empire is strong now, the world can be peaceful. Once you can't stand these little guys, the big Song you love will turn into a scorched earth in minutes. The stronger the empire, the more destructive these little guys will be. Do you now know why I'm suppressing them? It's not that I want to suppress, it's like being on a boat, if you make a mistake, you have to whip, even if it's my own son, you have to whip, and you have to work harder. Hong Tao finally found someone who could understand his thoughts, and he talked endlessly, pouring out all the depression he had been in the past few months.

"Your Majesty......" Wen Nan felt that Hong Tao was a bit exaggerated at first, he, like Hong Tao, did not stay in the empire all the year round, and it was difficult to understand the changes in the empire in recent years. But when he heard the back, the expression on his face became solemn, especially when he heard that Hong Tao's two sons began to gather their own forces around him, and he couldn't say a word.

What is this? History has made it very clear that this phenomenon has occurred in all dynasties. The dispute between the prince and the prince, once it is not handled well, it will be bloody, not to mention that he is a foreign minister, even if he is the prime minister of the empire, he will not dare to mix blindly in this matter.
