Chapter Twenty-Eight: Prince Jia's Reaction
Keep pace with the times, keep up with the news, and keep up with the times. (I Ching)
In the first hexagram of the Book of Changes, it is said: "Do not use the hidden dragon", and the yang energy is hidden; "See the dragon in the field", the world is civilized; "Dry all day long", go with the times; "Or leap in the abyss", the main road is Ge; "The flying dragon is in the sky", which is the virtue of heaven; "Kanglong has regrets", and he is very close to the times; Qianyuan's "use of nine" is the rule of heaven.
The gist of it is: the latent dragon lurks in the water to recharge and recharge, and it cannot play a role for the time being. If the dragon appears on the ground, it means that yang energy appears and can shine brightly. If you keep improving yourself every day, you will be like the running of the sky, and you will not stop moving. If the dragon leaps into the air or retreats into the water, it is a sign that it is in an era of change and needs to be judged. If the dragon flies high in the sky, the whole world is blessed. If the dragon flies too high, it will inevitably regret it, because the extremes of things must be reversed, and the development of things will go to the opposite side over time. The proverb of "using nine" is the cycle of heaven and the law of nature.
The Book of Changes is broad and profound, but its core is to discuss how man can develop in harmony with the world in order to achieve 'the unity of heaven and man'. An important principle is "advance, retreat, survival, and death." It analyzes things and doesn't focus on just one aspect. If words are "deeds", there must be "stops"; If you say "advance", there must be "retreat".
"Walking with the times", "moving with the times", and "talking with the times" can be regarded as a set of progressive and complementary philosophical theories. Kai, that is, the meaning of the common, line refers to action, pole refers to the end; "News" means "death and life". The three sentences are connected in series, that is, "we must act according to the time of day (that is, the law of things) to set reasonable goals, and the process and outcome of things must also follow the law of profit and loss, and cannot be forced." What is emphasized in the Book of Changes is "with the times", that is, "conforming to the law of the development of things", and people's recuperation and rejuvenation must follow the laws of nature
"News" means "death and life". Kai means 'together', and 'action' means action. "Timely", that is, "conform to the law of the development of things". Timely news: refers to the impermanence of things, which rise and fall with the passage of time, so when the time comes, get the latest and correct situation. Walk with the times: Be flexible. Make the right action when the time comes. Keep pace with the times: Determine reasonable goals at the right time, and achieve them over time, following the historical trend.
As a leader, you must have a strong awareness and method to obtain timely information (timely news), and then be able to react quickly and act immediately (with the times), and at the same time, foresee and judge the future development trend of affairs, and prepare and respond in advance (keep pace with the times).
In short: information is the primary productive force.
Whoever can grasp the first-hand information will be able to preempt the initiative and seize the opportunity. When it counts, it can even save your life.
Therefore, modern society is also called the information society.
More than 200 years ago, adults understood this truth: the sooner you know everything, the better, except for cancer, of course. Therefore, after Lord He learned that Yongyan had become the new prince, he rushed to Prince Jia's Mansion as soon as possible.
The new leader is about to take office, and this progress must be fought early.
In economic terms, this is called emotional investing. In the words of the gamblers: it's time to place bets.
Soon after he returned to the house, it began to rain heavily. However, this could not stop the decision to make progress with the adults, and he instructed Liu Quan to drive in the rain and go straight to Prince Jia's mansion.
Along the way, the horses' hooves splashed and the wheels gurgled. Sitting in the car with adults, I opened the curtain from time to time to look around. The gray sky made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Prince Jia Yongyan is indeed very generous, but his relationship with adults has not been very good. Yongyan always kept a certain distance from him, intentionally or unintentionally, which made him very entangled.
Rub, I didn't mess with you! You're not going to be an old glass, are you?!
Prince Jia said: Do you need a reason to hate someone?! Do you need it?! Don't need it?!
"Lord Wang, the slave is 'going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing' today, and I have a great happy event to report to you!" Although the adults are uneasy, they are old officials after all, and this kind of scene is more than enough to deal with.
"What kind of happy event, are you still bothered to come to my house in person to congratulate me in the heavy rain?"
"This ......" and the adults looked around at the servants. Yongyan naturally understood what was going on, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the minions.
"And my lord, you can tell me anything!"
"Lord, this is a great joy, the slave just learned from the emperor that the new prince chosen by the emperor is you!"
"Really?!" Yongyan listened, stood up suddenly, stared at Lord He and asked.
"It's true, the slave was just in the garden, and the emperor told the slave himself."
"Then thank you, Lord He!" Yongyan realized his gaffe, quickly sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Yes, but he never looked at it again.
The sudden cold scene made the adults a little uneasy: What is this kid thinking? Rub, it's quite hidden!
"That's what a minion should do." Lord He hurriedly replied with a smile, "Lord Wang, the slave also brought you a small congratulatory gift, please smile!" As he spoke, he took out a jade ruyi and presented it with both hands.
The jade Ruyi is carved from the whole material, the color is moist, and there is a pair of quails engraved on the head, and another group of grain harvest patterns inlaid with various colored gemstones. Because 'Sui' and 'Sui', 'quail' and 'An' have the same sound, it is taken as "the year is safe, and the peace is good". No matter in terms of material, workmanship and creativity, this Ruyi is a rare treasure in a hundred years, and it is worth a lot.
This progress should be big enough, right?!
"And my lord, why give such a valuable gift?" Yongyan glanced at Yu Ruyi, but did not reach out to take it.
"This is a little bit of the minion's heart, the prince should accept it!" He persuaded the lord, "In the future, the slave will have to rely on you a lot!" ”
"What are these words, Huang Ama is still very tough, what do you rely on me? It's better to be innocent between the minister and the prince, otherwise I'm afraid that someone will impeach me for personal relations with the minister, and when the time comes, the emperor will blame him, and I can't afford it. ”
"Lord Wang, where is this minister of personal relations! How dare a minion have that kind of thought, the minion just wants to express the minion's intentions. If the prince doesn't accept it, then the slave will kneel down for you! As he spoke, he glanced at Yongyan and was about to kneel on the ground: You dare?!
"Good, good! I'll take it, I'll take it!" Yongyan hurriedly helped the half-kneeling and adults up.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
"And my lord, there are still some things in the house, so I won't accompany you......"
"Okay, then the minion will take his leave!"
Out of Prince Jia's mansion, and the adult's brows furrowed: The new monarch is not good, what should I do?! We have to continue researching!
On the third day of the ninth month of the 60th year of Qianlong (October 15, 1795 AD), hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Qinzheng Hall of the Old Summer Palace. This day is the day when Lord Qianlong ascended the throne.
