Chapter 64: The Lord of the World
When the flowers bloom and fall, life is easy to get old, therefore, the ancients have a poem 'often afraid of the autumn festival, and the leaves of Huanghua are declining. Hundreds of rivers from the east to the sea, when to return to the west. ’
When the bright moon sprinkled the ethereal cold light on the earth, the ancient philosophers looked at the sparkling river, and would send out 'The spring river tide is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together.' Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water. This is a sigh of emotion.
"There is no immortality in this world, only the stones on the ground can be compared with the bright moon in the sky, from ancient times to the present, the emperor who pursues the pleasure of immortality will only become the laughing stock of future generations, and only when he reigns to take the world as his own responsibility, the king who seeks the welfare of the people will be praised by future generations.
The meaning of life has been widely discussed for a long time, whether it is the three ultimate philosophical questions of the West, or the knowledge of things in the East, whether it is materialism or idealism, all point out a truth, birth, old age, sickness and death are all things natural. As a teacher, I don't want to repeat it too much, but you have to know that people live in this world, it will have an impact on this world, whether you are a small citizen of the city, or a nobleman in the court, if you are better, the world will become better, if you are bad, the world will become worse, but being in a high position will have a greater impact on the world, if you are good, then the people of the world will be blessed and favored, if you are bad, then I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer a great disaster.
Cheng Qian, Your Majesty has already defeated the world, but you can't sit back and enjoy it, because once you ascend to the throne, the difficulties and dangers in front of you are not easier than those at the beginning. National contradictions between various ethnic groups. Competition in business and agriculture. There are also contradictions between the nobles and the poor, these are all things that you need to solve in a stable manner, as the saying goes, 'It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world.' 'Remember what I said earlier, as long as you are in the position of the first person, don't be greedy for pleasure and get close to traitors, because of the fate of the people of the Tang Dynasty. It's all in your hands......" ......
"Can't you sleep?" In the slightly flickering candlelight, a beautiful young woman slowly lifted the light gauze tent and said softly to a young man in white pajamas in front of the window.
"Oh? Concubine Ling, you're awake. The man in white standing in front of the window turned around, and the moonlight was like silver frost on his body, looking very ethereal.
"Is there something bothering you?" The beautiful woman slowly stepped down from the bed and draped a silk cloak over the man in white.
The man in white raised his head again and sighed softly towards the bright moon in the sky: "The widow can't sleep." After a pause, he continued: "Before the enthronement ceremony, Master Xu went to the East Palace to have a long talk with me all night, and the widow didn't care about Master Xu's words at that time, and was just immersed in the excitement of becoming the lord of the world. But as he began to manage the affairs of the court, the widow found out. Many of these problems were once warned by Xu Shi, and every time he thought about it, the widow would work diligently, lest something go wrong. ”
"Your Majesty is too restrained, and the affairs of the court and the central government are still handled by the Prime Minister, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."
The man in white glanced at the beauty lightly, then shook his head and said softly, "Concubine Ling, you don't understand. After that, he said to the outside of the screen: "Someone, change my clothes, I want to go to my father's Da'an Palace to ask for my father's ............
The world always has a unique operating law, when the character of all people is calculated, only a small influence is needed to make everything work according to the things that have been planned.
Li Chengqian's behavior after succeeding to the throne is much better than Xu Yang imagined, after all, as the first emperor to receive a modern worldview education from ancient times to the present, Li Chengqian's expression can be described in four words: unexpected.
For example, Ma Zhou, who has been serving as the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of Nanshan Academy, as well as Xiao Wu and Xiao Di, were all hired by Li Chengqian to serve as a senior official in the court on the grounds of 'unique thinking, concise and wise'.
Secondly, it is to abandon the emphasis on agriculture and suppress business, and change to the equal development of agriculture and commerce, and at the same time set up the DPRK and the Central Committee to calculate and learn talents, and set up the financial management department of the Datang Household Department to specifically coordinate the printing of Datang's banknotes.
What is even more rare is that Li Chengqian actually had a unique vision of the impact of science and technology on the economy, and published in newspapers and magazines up and down the country to encourage those people who study the invention of strange things, and at the same time increased the investment of money in Nanshan Academy, striving to keep Datang's science and technology at the forefront of the times.
He did not live up to Xu Yang's great efforts in him for more than ten years, Li Chengqian, who received the theoretical education system of later generations since he was a child, his world view, outlook on life, and values have been very similar to those of later generations, and his thinking has also gotten rid of the inherent thinking limitations of ancient people, which makes Xu Yang feel very gratified, the sad prince in history can finally ascend to the throne that originally belonged to him, which is a historical subversion and a victory for Xu Yang.
While paying attention to Li Chengqian's movements, Xu Yang was also observing the movements of several other princes.
Li Tai has become a scientist thoroughly, and now he seems to have forgotten the identity of the prince, in addition to ordering his subordinates to collect some materials used in scientific research, he eats and lives in the academy, and develops flying machines day and night, since Xu Yang gave him some hints last time, his research has made breakthroughs, almost three test flights a day, and it is very close to the first generation of aircraft that really fly into the sky by steam engines, at least Xu Yang thinks, The advent of airplanes with fixed wings and the invention of the Wright brothers is just around the corner.
Among several princes, the closest to the crown prince Li Chengqian is the fourth son Li Ke, because of the expansion of the army, Tubo has become the border of the Tang Dynasty today, and countless armies have opened waves from here, which has also created the rapid development of Tubo, countless caravans and slaves arrived on this plateau, and with their sweat all the way, this holy land has become a city of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Ke has a characteristic, that is, he is extremely filial, and Li Er also knows that he can't let the power of the rest of his sons develop too much, So he was recruited to return to Beijing in September this year, and Li Ke immediately agreed, and now, his threat has been lifted.
The rest of the princes were either unambitious or too young, and none of them objected to Li Chengqian's succession, so the bloody battle of the royal family had already been resolved unconsciously.
The world is the world of the people of the world, but the person standing at the top is no longer Li Er, but the indisputable Li Chengqian, and Xu Yang is also looking forward to more surprises he can bring to himself...... (To be continued......)
