Chapter 357: Small Talk on the Country Road
The breeze blew the weeds on the cliffs, and many weeds, under the breeze, were also very full of a tall atmosphere.
On the grassland not far away, I saw many sheep, walking around in groups on the grassland, free and easy.
Runzhi looked at the countless sheep, and seemed to say slowly and thoughtfully:
"In fact, when you are weak, you often need to pay attention to the specific details of something. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure, in fact, whoever masters the details will be easier to grasp the important places of things. In fact, in many cases, people tend to like to take action on many things, regardless of priority. In fact, most of the time, it's the details that matter. Only when a person is very concerned about the details can he do a better job in the moment. Often people need to pay more attention to many things in this world, and discover some truths in this world more seriously. And for the world that makes sense, that is, what we call knowing the world, is actually very crucial, because it will determine whether or not you can do many things, the specific effect, and the success or failure. In fact, only by carefully analyzing and in-depth argumentation of many important things can people better solve the current problems and thus better benefit the future development. This is what they often say since ancient times, that is, many things that happen in the present can be found in the timed past, and from better avoiding the mistakes made by the ancients in similar things. ”
Runzhi paused, then continued:
In fact, from ancient times to the present, people have often created history, and at the same time, they have also learned lessons from history, so as to better promote the development and progress of the present. For example, after the Qin Dynasty unified the Six Kingdoms, the Qin Dynasty could have better led countless people in a better direction, but because the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were obsessed with the achievements of the moment and neglected to pay attention to their people, they then incurred heavy taxes and a large number of burdens, especially the decrees of the Qin Dynasty, which can be described as merciless. In the early stage of the period of bearing irrelevance, those who originally suffered irrelevance did not dare to revolt, because the uprising required the extermination of the three clans in the law of the Qin Dynasty. But for these, then I can't afford to die and die, therefore. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang finally chose to rebel because it was their only way to survive. In fact, since then, people have realized the meaning of the law, and in the course of thousands of years of rule, there has been a practice of justifying the punishment of many prisoners according to the will of the governor. For example, if the quality of the chief is high enough, especially if he can maintain integrity and integrity for a long time, then he can do a good job of impartially enforcing the law and ensuring social fairness and justice. But on the contrary, if the address of the governor is not guaranteed, that is to say, if there are some officials of different ages who are prone to corruption, then it will bring great disasters, which will cause frequent outbreaks of corruption, which will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and even bring devastating disasters to the dynasty. Throughout the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the end of these growing farmlands was often accompanied by a large amount of corruption and civil distress, and it was under the combined effect of such factors that these dynasties eventually went negative, even though these dynasties had created a brilliant historical period, but under the prevalence of corruption, all the past became a cloud of smoke, so everything had to start from scratch, and thousands of people also fell into a turbulent society in this last period, thus suffering great harm. ”
Runzhi and Qing'er walked along a country road and talked, and the two of them were also very appreciative of the beautiful scenery around them, and they were naturally in a very happy mood.
On both sides of the country road are the splendid blooming wildflowers of all kinds, most of which are chrysanthemums, but there are also some other flowers that resemble mimosas.
When Qing'er heard this, she asked:
"In that case, why did the monarchs of these dynasties not arrest these corrupt officials when corruption was rampant, isn't it very unwise, or is it deliberately pretending not to know?"
Runzhi listened, so he replied slowly:
In fact, the kindness of these corrupt officials is also inevitable at the end of a dynasty. In fact, when it comes to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these people are often not one or two, but they are embarrassed by each other. These people often deceive the people in a variety of ways. Naturally, many feudal emperors have also thought of various ways to deal with these corrupt officials, but this requires the absolute wisdom and talent of the monarch, especially courage, to do it, and the difficulty is also very huge. The most typical case was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Chongzhen, who had a certain talent and courage, especially for many corrupt officials and corrupt officials. But even so, during his decades in power, there was nothing he could do about the widespread phenomenon of corrupt officials. Why is that? In fact, the reason is very simple, because these corrupt officials and corrupt officials are often united by many people, and these people often excuse each other. For example, Emperor Chongzhen often asked some officials to go to find other officials, and often these people who were ordered to track down other corrupt officials were easily bribed by these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and thus became corrupt officials themselves. Under the temptation of money, beauty, and power, how many people can not be tempted? Especially these people who were sent by Emperor Chongzhen to deal with corrupt officials. These people themselves also have desires, and if the social atmosphere at that time was relatively clear, then these people obviously would not dare to commit crimes against the wind. If the social atmosphere itself is filthy and corruption has become the mainstream of the social atmosphere, then these people have no choice but to be assimilated by these corrupt officials under the influence of the atmosphere at that time. The end result is that these corrupt officials continue to unite to oppress these people, making their lives worse than death, and then the final stage of a dynasty is coming to an end. ”
Runzhi seemed to have a lot of thoughts about this, so he only listened to him continue to say many times:
In fact, corrupt officials have been the most hated object of people throughout history, and this has been the case since the beginning of human history. But under the temptation of huge wealth, beautiful money, those who can persist in not being moved are actually thoughtful people. If there is no thought, everything is in the clouds, and people are often the most likely to be corrupted and degenerate when faced with the temptation of money. All the sins in this world often come from ignorance, from ignorance, the more a person has thoughts, then the more a person can withstand the temptation of money, wealth and beauty, so as to be more able to be an upright person. But in fact, in all dynasties, many people who read books are often only familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but they don't know much about many thoughts, which makes it difficult for these people to withstand the test when they really face some major events, and they are easy to fall in the end. It's easy
