Chapter 441: The Litmus Test
What is the end of the curtain? There is no shortage of people who come from afar to buy thin horses in the south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This is an industry in Yangzhou, and according to the situation grasped by Li You, there should be about three or four hundred families in and outside Yangzhou who make a living from thin horses.
Yangzhou thin horses are all targeted from an early age, and there are probably three reasons why they are popular. First, he is good at decorating and dressing, charming and charming, and very interesting; the second is to be taught how to deal with interpersonal relationships, with a gentle temperament, and buying home will not cause disputes in the house; The third is that Xi has a skill and is very practical.
All in all, Yangzhou thin horse is a good thing, but it should not belong to the Son of Heaven,—, the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou, Li You stood under the moon for a quarter of an hour.
The Son of Heaven has given him a big problem, what kind of trouble is this?
In his impression, the Son of Heaven was a teenager who was severely disciplined by his mother and eldest sister, and was very depressed and depressed in his adolescence, but he had no vices. What is the purpose?
If someone else asks for this, when Lord Li is embarrassed, he will first spread the news to the whole city, and then observe the reactions of all parties. But this time he didn't dare. The consequences of spreading rumors about the emperor are very serious, and he, a magistrate, can't escape his responsibilities no matter what.
Li You was embarrassed, and Duan's father-in-law who went out of the palace to pass the decree was also very strange. He just said to His Majesty, "What Your Majesty sees today is true for the people, the words of businessmen are half true and half false, and what officials say is false. As a result, the Son of Heaven didn't know how ~ to think, so he went out of the palace to pass on the edict.
After a night, and by the early morning of the next day, the news had spread throughout the palace, and immediately became a hot topic for all the attendants. For a while, there were different opinions, each with its own reason.
Some people believe that this is the test of Li You by the Son of Heaven, and Li You's future will be determined through Li You's actions. But what is the correct answer in the heart of the Son of Heaven? But no one can say with certainty
If the purpose of the Son of Heaven was to test whether Li You would obey the holy decree unprincipledly, then he would definitely like to see Li You sacrifice a beautiful woman for the Son of Heaven at the expense of his own reputation, which is a reassuring and reliable courtier.
As for the wind commentary, people's attention to hot topics is always forgetful, surviving this public opinion limelight, and Master Li is a good man eight years later.
If Li You resists the decree and does not respect the will, he will probably be judged by the Son of Heaven to cherish feathers more than loyal to the king, pedantic and difficult to use, and it is inevitable to be alienated from him in the future. No matter how good Li You's performance is, he can't make up for the loss, because he can't become his own person in the eyes of the Son of Heaven.
But the test of the Son of Heaven is not only the above possibility, there is also another possibility. The Son of Heaven's purpose may have been to test Li You's political character, hoping to see a minister who was upright and reliable and able to entrust state affairs.
So in this case, if Li You knows that he is acting incorrectly, and he wants to offer a beauty to the Son of Heaven with a clear conscience, wouldn't he be regarded as a huge villain who flatters without discipline?
On the contrary, if Li You's resistance to the decree will be regarded by the Son of Heaven as having temperance and backbone, he can focus on cultivating in the future.
Therefore, the correct answer to the case depends on whether the test of the Son of Heaven comes from public or selfishness. In other words, it depends on whether the Son of Heaven is an emperor of the Ming monarch and holy lord type, or a enjoyment type, otherwise the outcome of the same approach can only be the opposite.
In addition to the "test theory", some people think that the Son of Heaven is clearly trying to teach Li You a lesson.
Yesterday, Li You's political achievements were too perfect, perfect and impeccable, and the limelight was too prosperous, blatantly suppressing the close ministers around the Son of Heaven, and completely did not follow the truth of being too late and having regrets. …,
In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the Eight Achievements seem to be carried away. No matter what the ministers say, they are also their own people selected by the Son of Heaven, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Li You's unscrupulousness towards the Son of Heaven's close ministers is, to a certain extent, also disrespectful to the Son of Heaven.
Maybe it was the Son of Heaven who wanted to beat him in order to show his imperial might, or maybe it was the Son of Heaven who wanted to beat Li You in order to make him truly successful. So he made such a dilemma, no matter what Li You did, he was bound to hit the head.
The biggest basis for supporting the "doctrine of lessons" is that after yesterday's incident, Li You did not receive any encouragement despite his outstanding achievements in governance, which is unusual. It must be that the Son of Heaven planned to teach Li You a lesson first, gave him enough warnings, and observed the after-effects before deciding on the reward.
The knowledge of interpersonal relations between the dynasties is broad and profound, especially between the courts, and it is the most profound place of this knowledge. There is a saying that interpersonal relationships have nothing to do with life and death, but interpersonal relationships are higher than life and death.
In this small palace with a radius of more than 100 zhang, in addition to the two mainstream opinions of "test theory" and "lesson theory", there is actually a third theory on this matter, that is, "villain theory".
This doctrine is relatively simple, in a word, Li You was young and vigorous and offended the villain around the Son of Heaven, and he didn't know who was slandered, so he was retaliated against. issued such a holy decree, which was clearly intended to humiliate Li You.
The spearhead of this "villain said" is directly aimed at Li Denggao, Li Editor, Duan Zhien, and Duan Gonggong, and what is passed on is also that he has a nose and eyes, and it is like the truth is about to come out. When it reached Li Bianxiu's ears, he was almost blown up again while lying down and was also hit by an arrow, and wrote more than a dozen calligraphy in a row, and then he forcibly pressed it.
But no matter what kind of doctrine it is, there is one thing in common, it is believed that Li You's performance yesterday must be too dazzling, so it caused a chain reaction and caused the incident. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
However, when everyone in the palace talked about Gao Yichao, they discovered a problem. The biggest reason why they have different views on this matter is that they have not understood the true heart of the Son of Heaven. It can only be analyzed on the basis of speculation, and it is no wonder that so many disagreements have arisen.
Gentleness, softness and these character traits are the outermost things, what is the inner orientation of the Son of Heaven? No one can tell.
Is he going to be the leader of a pioneering generation, or is he going to indulge in pleasure? Does he appreciate the fortunate ministers who are flattering and obedient, or the courtiers who are upright and observant?
Everyone found that the Son of Heaven they saw was more like a puppet that operated automatically under the framework of rules, and every move could be explained by rules, but it was only like it in their eyes, and it could not be a puppet.
From this point of view, the fact that Li You was ordered to sacrifice Yangzhou Thin Horse has become a touchstone to test what the quality of the Son of Heaven looks like. Thinking of this, everyone's attention to this matter has increased to another level. ps: It was supposed to be sent together with the early morning chapter, but due to the problem of thinking, I have to grab a monthly pass again, and it is divided into two chapters, please understand!
