Chapter 888: Wen Yanbo's Teachings
Wen Yanbo suffered too much in the hands of Wang Ning'an, so when he saw that Wang Ning'an was silent and looked like an obedient elementary school student, the old gentleman became happy.
There is no door in this mouth, and everything is said out.
"Erlang, you are indeed wise and powerful, with means, vision, and insight...... But, believe it or not, as long as it takes another ten years, you will be put down by the civil fight! ”
"This ...... I believe ...... But I'm curious, what can they do with me? Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Brother Kuanfu, I won't tell you, I think I am careful and careful, I also cherish feathers, and I am good at calculation. ”
"Hahaha, Erlang, this is too confident, even if you can stand up, what about the people around you?"
"This ......," Wang Ning'an said, "I will try my best to restrain them and prevent them from making mistakes." ”
Wen Yanbo shook his head, "Let's start with the emperors of the past dynasties, from a high vantage point!" ”
As soon as he saw that Lao Wen was going to speak at length, Wang Ningan immediately poured him a cup of tea, and Wen Yanbo became more and more fluttering when he could be served by the prince.
"Let's put it this way, to be able to create a country and establish a dynasty, no matter how you look at it, they are all eloquent and strategic, and they are outstanding people in the world, but this manpower is limited after all, and it is no match for thousands of troops and horses, and it is not against open guns and dark arrows! You are born in a general, leading soldiers to start a family, maybe you will feel that fighting on the battlefield and gambling with your life is the most dangerous. But the old man told you, no, not at all! Most of the soldiers are illiterate, they can't even write their names, and they can do whatever they want, and the real ones are just a few generals who are responsible for leading the troops, and how much wisdom do they have? ”
Wen Yanbo got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said loudly: "Look at the imperial court again, every four years, the smartest people in the world, the wisest brains, all gathered together, competing for hundreds of places, the old man dare not say that everyone is a genius, but even if it is a mediocre waste, it is much stronger than those big-headed soldiers!" To put it mildly, how many officials does a yamen in Beijing have? At least dozens of them, and there are so many scribes below, the wisdom of these people together is definitely comparable to a 100,000-strong army and horse, and if they can settle one piece, it means that this is comparable to the world's famous generals, so what kind of character can he enter the political hall and become a ruler? I'm afraid that Sun Wu and Bai Qi can't compare! ”
……
Whatever Lao Wen said before, Wang Ningan didn't think so, but this time, he pondered carefully, don't you really raise the bar, the difficulty of leveling dozens of officials is definitely more than 100,000 leading soldiers!
It's just a different direction.
Throughout the past dynasties, how many generals who were on the front line and could not be stopped, when they arrived at the imperial court, they immediately stopped eating.
Not to mention far away, Di Qing is a representative!
A little later, there is Yue Fei, as well as the famous general Hu Zongxian, who fought against the Japanese, and Wang Yangming, the ancestor of Xinxue!
Whether they are leading troops to fight or governing places, these are all first-class, and they are shining figures in the annals of history.
The sword buries the wrongs, and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds...... In addition to sighing in vain, there is nothing to be done!
A thousand years ago, a thousand years later, all the same!
It's not that those famous ministers and famous generals are not worthless, and they are not as good as those calculating villains.
It's that a person's ability is limited after all, and where to put his energy, it is inevitable that he will take care of one and lose the other. It is not surprising that he was calculated and ruined.
What Wen Yanbo said is that there is an element of boasting, but aside from everything, just in terms of fighting for power and power, and fighting each other, if you can enter the political hall and dominate the world, you are definitely a great master of transcendent sainthood.
Seeing Wang Ning'an pondering, Wen Yanbo was even more proud.
"Erlang, let's go on, you look at Qin Shi Huang is amazing, sweeping away Liuhe, sweeping the Eight Desolations, his old man still thinks about thousands of generations, has been inheriting the country, but why did the second die? He has done so many big projects, building the Great Wall, building spiritual canals, building straight roads, and repairing imperial tombs...... He didn't think it would cost the people? Will it cause chaos in the world? The old man dared to say that the first emperor must have thought of it, but unfortunately, the people around him, in order to meet him and do what he liked, deliberately concealed the matter, and only thought about the good side, but the first emperor of the ages was also deceived...... is the same as him, and the Emperor Yang of Sui, who repaired the canal, conquered Goguryeo, fought against the strong, and opened a branch to win scholars, which one, Tang Taizong never did it, why did he also become the king of the dead country? It's not that I've been coaxed, I'm so happy and in a hurry, but as a result, the world is in chaos, and the lives are ruined......"
Wang Ningan took a deep breath and became more and more solemn, "Brother Kuanfu is really Huang Zhong Dalu, which makes people wake up, but there are also shrewd emperors and smart emperors, who will not be blinded, such as the Tang Taizong you said, he can learn the lessons of the previous dynasty and create the rule of Zhenguan!" ”
"Hahaha...... Erlang, you are wrong again, as long as you are human, you will make mistakes...... Tang Taizong is certainly remarkable, but he has only maintained it for more than ten years...... Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others died one after another, and the harem eldest Empress Sun died, and no one could remind Taizong, so he was bewitched by the villain, cultivated immortality, took pills, and died at the age of 52...... Fortunately, he died early, if Taizong lived for another 20 years, maybe Datang would have died in his hands! ”
"This is why most emperors who have been in power for a long time will become mediocre in their old age, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, all of them!"
Speaking of which, Wen Yanbo was suddenly very depressed!
It stands to reason that Zhao Zhen reigned for 42 years, which is also a long time, but in the last ten years, because of Wang Ningan's tossing, not only did he not make mistakes because of mediocrity, but instead created a lot of merits, and pushed Uncle Zhao into the ranks of the Holy Lord of Mingjun.
And when Zhao Zhen died, he was also 52 years old, the same age as Tang Taizong.
There are even folk rumors that Zhao Zhen is the reincarnation of Taizong, and many people are convinced.
In the face of the only outlier for thousands of years, Wen Yanbo was also speechless.
Wang Ningan calmed down, in fact, the truth of what Lao Wen said is not complicated, any emperor, or any person in a high position, is like a game.
No matter how difficult the design is, someone will eventually clear the full level.
For example, the mentioned Emperor Yang of Sui, he was born with a golden spoon, and the journey was smooth, and it was easy to seize the throne, so it was relatively easy to fool him.
As for Tang Taizong, in his early years, he fought the country, knew the people's suffering, and had good wives and famous ministers, they kept reminding him that Taizong could maintain his wisdom and martial arts for more than ten years, but in old age, he was just as bad.
Thinking of this, Wang Ning'an's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt chills all over.
"Brother Kuanfu, you said that in ten years, you can take me? I don't know what to do? ”
Wen Yanbo looked at Wang Ning'an's frightened appearance, and suddenly laughed.
"Erlang, do you want to hear how the old man got to where he is today?"
"Listen up!"
Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The old man and Han Qi were the same Jinshi, the best friends, when the two of us made an appointment, we wanted to prosper the Great Song Dynasty together, Kuang Jun Fuguo, in fact, I don't know if it was the two of us, how many young people who have just been admitted to the Jinshi think so...... But when you really enter the officialdom and keep rolling in it, many things will be involuntarily...... Let's put it this way, how much effort did the family put in to support us in studying? The imperial examination is not a person! Once the Toad Palace is crowned, can you watch your parents and brothers continue to suffer? At this time, if someone gives money, someone stuffs money into your house, and sends fields to your house, can you manage it? I think most people will turn a blind eye! When people send too much and feed you, please do something for them, can you not do it? ”
"Erlang, in life, everyone has things they care about, things they care about! For example, if you like money, someone will send money, if you like literary games, someone will send antiques, if you like beautiful women, someone will send girls, if you like music, someone will send the troupe...... You are also in a high position, you should have experienced! ”
"Hmmm! That's true, but I'll restrain myself! Wang Ningan said: "If you can't even control these things, you don't deserve to be mixed in officialdom!" ”
"Hahaha, Erlang said it well, but this is only the first layer, don't forget, you still have parents, brothers, wives, and descendants...... You can control yourself, but what about them? Can it be managed in the same way? Besides, in life, who doesn't have a little trouble! For example, you attach importance to filial piety, your parents are old, sick, and need life-saving medicinal materials, and people hold ginseng and send them up, can you not want it? Besides, you have many brothers, and your brothers are in trouble, whether it is in official career or business, someone stands up and generously helps, should you be grateful? Also, a person can not care about his brothers, he doesn't care about his parents, but he can't care about his offspring, right? You are now past the age of establishment, the child is getting bigger and bigger day by day, they also have to live, to live better, you say, at this time people help your child, promote him, give him a chance, let him soar, will you be grateful? ”
……
With Wen Yanbo's words, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Wang Ningan's forehead, no wonder Lao Wen said that after ten years, someone will be able to find a way to deal with himself!
Isn't it!
Ten years later, Gouyaer, Xiaoyu, and several other young children have grown up, and they want to have a career, a family, and a pursuit...... If you are not careful, you will be used by others and become a tool to blackmail yourself.
Don't just think that corruption and bribery are the handle, in fact, any hobby, anything you care about, relatives, friends, will become a tool for others to hold you hostage...... Scary or not? Scared or not?
No matter how wise and wise the emperor is, in the face of the smart people all over the world, he ponders and studies day and night, and the endless offensive, the water drops and stones pierce, and it is only a matter of time before he falls.
Han Qi also said similar things, but he was not as transparent as Wen Yanbo, "Brother Kuanfu, the younger brother sincerely asks for advice, why are you willing to talk to me about this?" ”
