Chapter 368: Who is the Perfect King?

Well?

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Li Junxian to look at the problem like this.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but give Li Junxian a thumbs up, "Fifth brother, what you said is good." It was indeed my negligence. Officials like me, who everyone fears, are all notorious ministers in history, and none of them have a good end. ”

"This is the way of being an official, but it is not the way of being a king."

"The monarch should have a good name, the name of benevolence and righteousness, and the good reputation of loving the people like a son. Only by gaining the praise and support of the people can the seat be stable. ”

"As for the dirty work of killing people and offending people, haha, I can only use a powerful minister like me who everyone fears, and when I finish killing the people I want to kill, and the matter is done, the emperor can punish and kill me and calm the people's grievances. For example, Shang Ying, who changed the law, proposed the master of the Grace Order......"

Burst......

"Childe, you are serious, I don't mean that below." Li Junxian hurriedly apologized.

Li Chengqian also persuaded: "Yes, brother-in-law, where do you want to go?" What you do is a good thing that makes people happy, and my father is not that kind of person. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and took his hand and said, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just giving you a lecture seriously." This kind of thing called the Emperor's Heart Technique is not something I can teach, and His Majesty will teach it himself in the future. ”

"I just mentioned tyrants and benevolent kings. Everyone is afraid of tyrants, such as the First Emperor of the Great Qin and the Great Emperor of the former Sui Dynasty. But tyrants have the advantage that they are easier to do things, and no one will easily dare to restrain the emperor's power. The First Emperor ruled the world, the Great Emperor built the canal, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo, without violent and high-pressure rule, and these policies that cost the people and money could not be implemented at all. ”

"The shortcomings are also obvious, once the monarch loses his heart, regardless of the danger of the country, and only cares about his own purposes, it will destroy the life of the country."

Li Junxian and Li Chengqian nodded at the same time, yes, the lessons from the past are obvious.

"Besides, there is nothing wrong with Renjun, there is nothing wrong with Renjun, but his actions will be constrained by advice everywhere, if the monarch's character is not enough, and his stomach is insufficient, he will not be able to be Renjun. The advantage is that it is beneficial to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and the disadvantage is that Renjun is too tired to live. ”

Too tired?

Li Junxian was puzzled, but Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, my father got up before dawn in the morning, and he didn't go to bed until the third watch in the evening. ”

After a moment of silence, Li Chengqian asked, "Brother-in-law, apart from tyrants and benevolent monarchs, isn't there a better way to be a king?" ”

This question seems to have asked Xiao Rui as well.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Rui couldn't think of who was known as the King of Perfection in history. What are the famous emperors in ancient times?

The first emperor who ruled the world? The history books have mixed reputations about the First Emperor, but the author has a positive view, and his eloquence is not enough to describe the character and talent of the First Emperor. However, the death of Qin II is a stain, if the First Emperor is really perfect, Qin should not die so quickly.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who swept away the Huns? It is indeed a great achievement to play the title of Han people by himself. But the deposition of Confucianism and Confucianism, the ideology of Confucianism has imprisoned the country for thousands of years, and Liu Che is responsible. Exhausted the army, fought for a lifetime, exhausted the accumulation of three generations of the Han Dynasty to recuperate, and the country withered in his later years, so he had to make an edict against himself. In his later years, he was so confused that he listened to witchcraft and believed in witchcraft, and his later years were not guaranteed. This emperor should be said to have mixed merits.

Emperor Liu of the Han Xuan Dynasty of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty has been ill? is known as a virtuous person, but after all, he is only the king of success, his ability is limited, and he has nothing earth-shattering.

The usurper Han self-reliant through the kings? Some people say that Wang Mang was the one who directly put communism in the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately failed.

Liu Xiu, the son of Destiny, Emperor Guangwu? Barely one. If you evaluate a monarch with the best opponents, Liu Xiuneng ranks in the top three. This is a rare emperor who can govern the country and the family. The difficulty of his fight against the world even exceeded the difficulty of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to take the world. The instructor commented on him: He is the most learned, the most proficient at fighting, and the most skilled at employing people.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin? No matter how eloquent and radiant the history books evaluate him, he will never be able to get rid of the stain of Xuanwumen.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji? Zhongxing Datang has meritorious, but Yang Guifei is a level he can't overcome. is far worse than his grandfather Li Shimin.

Zhao Kuangyin in the Song Dynasty? If you can't recover all the territory, don't mention it.

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen? This person is worthy of the name of Renzong, but during his reign, the government decrees were repeated, and the orders were often changed at the dawn of the day, and there was no decision. This is a disadvantage.

Genghis Khan? Admire the strength of this person, very strong! But militarism is definitely not perfect.

Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty? Wenzhi martial arts can be called the first monarch of the Yuan Dynasty, but it is a pity that later generations cannot be as wise as him.

Ming Taizu, Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang? Expelled the Tartars and restored China, one of the most outstanding monarchs in history. He is an emperor, a hero, and a thief, a wise and heroic king. If it is explained that it is Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who can carry a boat or capsize a boat, then it is Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who is deeply practiced. It's a pity that he killed corrupt officials the most, but he still couldn't solve this drawback. It is already remarkable to be able to lay the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for 300 years.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di? Exhausted and reckless, the merits are mixed.

The father and son of the Great Ming Renxuanzhi? The birth of the Mingbao Sect is their biggest stain......

Braids are not judged!

Mr. Zhongshan of the Republic of China? It's a big credit to the society, but after all, it's too bookish to be angry.

Principal of the Republic of China? has a mixed reputation in his life, and his perfection has nothing to do with him.

Teacher? Talent first, art of war first, mind first, vision first, iron bones, full of heroes and martyrs first...... The idols of countless people, including the author himself, are also the most admired. Maybe two hundred years from now, the history books will say that he is the perfect king, but not now. It's a pity that his old man is gone.

After recalling for a long time, Xiao Rui reluctantly said: "Your Majesty said that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat." A good monarch should always stand with the people and the people. And not to represent the interests of the aristocracy. You know why? ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I know, although we are all from noble families, but the people are noble and the monarch is secondary, if the court only helps the nobles, it will be overthrown by the people." ”

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and knocked on his head, and said simply: "There is no other reason, just because there are so many of them!" ”

Yes? What's the explanation for this?

"The simplest and most accurate explanation. You always have to be on the side of the crowd, get the majority to support you, and then suppress the minority. In this way, you can win undefeated. What kindness, morality, humanity, etc., is all bullshit. The so-called right is nothing more than learning to take sides. ”

And the so-called monarch is the one who takes the lead, trying to make the people behind him the majority, and the people who oppose him are getting fewer and fewer. It's as simple as that. ”

Li Chengqian was completely confused, and his mind was confused.

Li Junxian muttered: "If there are more people than people, of course there will always be more poor people." What if one day, there are many nobles? The monarch is on the side of the nobility? ”

Xiao Rui laughed and said: "That's right, if one day, everyone in this world is a nobleman, what is the difference between it and everyone being a common person?" ”

Li Chengqian said ignorantly: "That is to say, we will always stand on the side of the people...... The people are noble and the gentlemen are light and the society is second. Everyone is afraid of tyrants, everyone loves benevolent monarchs, so a good monarch is to let everyone love the people, and then let everyone be afraid of the nobles who bully the people? ”

Well? Listening to his muttering, Xiao Rui and Li Junxian glanced at each other, and at the same time cast appreciative glances.

"Think slowly, you're still young, there's enough time for you to learn to think, and you'll be a good emperor in the future." Xiao Rui patted Li Chengqian's shoulder cordially for the first time.

In two days, after killing more than a dozen children of the most heinous family, the people of the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan couldn't sit still, and soon found the Luoyang City Governor's Mansion to confront Xiao Rui face to face.
