Chapter 26

But Ke Xi has been tortured by those poems and songs for two hours, and he really doesn't want to listen to them compose poems anymore, so he asked people to prepare pen and ink.

Ke Xi thought about it, put the question on the paper, and looked at the prince vigilantly while writing: "Brother Prince, you can't peek!" ”

Prince:......

Hold back, this is my own sister, I can't fight, I'm stupid enough, I can't be stupid anymore.

Soon, Ke Xi's topic was released, and the moment the topic was released, everyone present gasped.

Who's asking the question? That's a bold question!

I saw that the question that came out was "how to look at the relationship between monarchs and ministers"

When the prince saw Ke Xi ask such a quirky but straight to the point, he shook his head and smiled: "You, you, I really don't know how to treat you." ”

Ke Xi was confident: "I'm not here for your father and you, too ...... Brother, you have to listen carefully and see what they say, if the title of the gold list is an official in the future, and what you do is different from what you say now, don't you and your father know which are flattering villains? ”

Prince: You actually think it makes sense......

The following is already a lively discussion.

"If you want me to say, the monarch and the minister, the king first, is regarded as the sky, and the minister is second, and it is for the earth. Since it is the sky, of course, it is whatever the king says, and the courtiers only need to do what the emperor says, and the emperor tells the ministers to go east, and the ministers cannot go west. ”

"Brother Chen's words are wrong, if the courtiers need the Holy Lord to do everything before they do, then what is the difference between these courtiers and the subordinates who run errands? As a minister, think about what the king thinks, worry about what the king is worried about, and take the initiative to solve problems for the emperor. Secondly, Brother Chen just said that whatever the emperor says is what it is, so if the emperor may have made a wrong decision because he didn't understand the situation, and Brother Chen knew that the emperor's decision was wrong, but didn't remind him, what is the difference between this and those flattering villains? In my opinion, as a courtier, it is natural to obey the emperor's will, but when the emperor makes a wrong decision, he should remind the emperor to correct it, rather than blindly flattering. ”

"Brother Zhang is right, and looking at Tang Taizong, who created the rule of Zhenguan, isn't there a desperate Wei Zheng by his side? Since ancient times, it has been the duty of a courtier to advise the king, so how can he be deceived by the saint in order to flatter the saint? When the emperor makes the right decision, the courtiers only need to do their part according to the emperor's instructions, and when the emperor makes a wrong decision, the courtiers should stand up and point out the emperor's mistakes, pay attention to the art of balance, not what the emperor says! ”

……

Ke Xi listened to the candidates with relish at first, but when he heard it, he felt that something was wrong.

In addition to the fact that the question may have been discussed at first, the candidates have a variety of opinions and can also say their reasons.

Later, it suddenly came and went, repeating "take the king first", "remind you bluntly if you have a mistake" and so on.

Seeing Ke Xi become cowardly again, the prince had expected it.

After all, not everyone dares to ask this kind of question, maybe those candidates didn't react at first, and then they came back to it.

If you dare to ask such a question, then it also shows that the person who raised this question is either the "Jun" himself, or the person who is very embarrassed in front of the "Jun".

And ordinary people, no matter how faced, will not ask such a question to test the bottom line of "Jun".

In this way, this person is either a "king", or a member of the heavenly family, be bold, some candidates may guess that the emperor or the prince is in this champion building!

Candidates who have this kind of guess are going to cry with excitement!

If you answer well, you will fall into the blue eyes of the emperor or the prince......

So there were similar answers from the candidates, in order to prove that they were Wei Zheng and the like, and they were upright.

Ke Xi was very angry, thinking that these candidates were all sloppy and slapping horses, and they all spoke better than sang.

Prince: "Originally, I was going to come out to relax, but now you are tossing yourself and getting angry?" ”

Ke Xi felt unconvinced: "Doesn't my brother feel angry?" ”

"It's just human nature."

Ke Xi is young, and he was pampered and grew up, although he is smart, he has never been in contact with the affairs of the court, and he does not understand the careful thinking between those courtiers, the prince did not deliberately teach Ke Xi anything, just wait for him to meet him, and then talk to her in detail.

There are some things that can only be impressive if you have experienced them yourself.

The prince motioned for Ke Xi to sit down and explain to her.

"Why do so many people in the world want to study? It's nothing more than thinking about the title of the gold list, getting ahead, not having to face the loess with your back to the sky, and working hard for your livelihood every day. ”

"People in the world want to be officials, in order to be able to hold power, eat jade plate delicacies, or like the pleasure of controlling the fate of others, if you say that they want to gain fame for the benefit of the people, maybe there are, but rare, more for themselves."

"Xi'er, people are not born to be good, people's nature is more inclined to selfishness, greed and plunder, some people release their nature, so there are poor and vicious people, and some people know how to control and cover, so they put on a mask on themselves, show the good side to the world, and bury those careful thoughts under the mask."

"Very few people can control their desires, they put heavy shackles on themselves, lock up those dark sides, cultivate their bodies, and release their good side. I admire this kind of person very much, but Xi'er, this kind of person can be met but not sought, there are many people in the world who wear masks, like you, like me, so, just like these candidates, there are some harmless thoughts, which is not a bad thing, because my father and I can see this kind of careful thinking, can use and control, who in the court does not have a little big and small thoughts? You just have to know in your heart. ”

Ke Xi nodded as if he didn't understand.

The prince rubbed Ke Xi's head, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you are still young, I will teach you slowly." ”

The prince didn't say anything like "If you don't understand, forget it, I will protect you for the rest of your life".

People's hearts are fickle, and he can guarantee that he can treat Ke Xi wholeheartedly, but he can't guarantee whether this relationship will change in the future, and there is no way to guarantee that he can protect Ke Xi for the rest of his life......

And who can guarantee that? The human heart is the most incomprehensible thing.

So he wants to take advantage of the fact that everything is still the best to tell Xi'er some knowledge and means of survival.

Including how to guess people's hearts, how to use people's hearts, so that he can rest assured where he can't take care of them.

Because Xi'er has the ability to solve problems.
