Chapter 432: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger

"Your Highness, the Holy Lord once said that this world is the world of the people of the world, and the world of the people of the world. When the ancestor pioneered a great cause, of course, his own merits need not be said, but they are also inseparable from the support of the people of the world.

"Whoever can make the world stable and make the people happy, the people of the world will support whom, if someone wants to destroy this stability, this happiness, the first person who does not agree is the thousands of ordinary people in the world.

"So whether it's the Holy One or His Royal Highness, before making a big plan for the world, you should first think of what it can bring to the people of the world? If there is only war and famine, then no matter which dynasty it is, it is destined not to last.

"I know that the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are both extraordinary people, both have the ambition of pacifying the world and unifying Kyushu, and both want to lay a vast and prosperous territory for future generations, but before that, the first thing that should be thought of is the people." Xiao Yuming seemed to understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words, nodded thoughtfully, and seriously thought about Shao Xi's reminder to him before.

Indeed, as Shao Xi said, although the world now says that it is the world of his Xiao family, if there are no people in the world, how can the so-called world of his Xiao family be the world?

How much can his Xiao family occupy this huge Jingyuan Empire? If you think that as the lord of the world, you can ignore the life and death of the people in the world in order to realize your personal ambitions, then how long can the Xiao family, the emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty and the lord of the world, be able to do it?

If it really caused chaos in the world because of a momentary thought, causing the Jingyuan Empire to be in trouble, for the people, such an emperor would be an unqualified monarch.

There's nothing wrong with having ambitions as emperors, but the means you use to achieve them must be weighed.

If you can achieve your long-cherished wish without harming the interests of the people, then you are the real virtuous monarch, otherwise you will be a reckless and unrighteous monarch.

In fact, these truths spoken by Shao Xi are not profound, and they are all understood by Xiao Yuming for a long time, but when someone weighs the pros and cons for himself and really puts the stakes in front of him, Xiao Yuming feels that every decision he has to make in this position must be cautious.

Because this is not only about themselves, but closely related to the lives of thousands of people, one of their wrong decisions may cause tens of millions of families to be ruined and their wives separated, which should not be what a person who holds the world wants to see.

The lives of the people are in their own hands, and the fate of the royal family is also in the hands of those ordinary people who usually look inconspicuous.

In fact, the relationship between the monarch and the people is to a certain extent a binding of interests, and the monarch formulates policies and leads the people to build the country well in a planned way, so that he and the people can benefit together.

Although it seems that the benefits of the monarch are much higher than those of the people, in fact, the responsibility of the monarch is also greater.

A monarch who can reasonably balance the interests of the country and the people is the monarch who is loved by the people, and if he only considers the interests of the state and ignores the interests of the people, then even if the decisions made by the monarch are beneficial to the country, they will not be supported by the people.

As an emperor, he should understand that the people are the foundation of the country, the people are the real masters of the world, the royal family is only the leader and manager of the people, and the formulation of all policies must take into account the interests of the country and the people at the same time.

In fact, the vast majority of the people's requirements are not high, as long as they can live and be fed, and there are no disasters of war, they will feel that the current monarch is already a virtuous king.

Therefore, as a ruler, we must also correct our mentality, not treat the people as mustard, and not wantonly launch wars and provoke wars for our own selfishness without regard to the lives of the people, which is to challenge the bottom line of the people in the world and destroy their most basic living conditions.

There are many things between countries that cannot be resolved by means of war, and everything that can be discussed can be discussed, and if a balance can be achieved through the exchange of interests, it is better not to solve them by means of war.

Because the war is a disaster for the people of both countries, from a long-term perspective, the policy of gradual absorption and integration proposed by Shao Xi is the best strategy for the unification of the world.

Although it took a long time to do so, it was possible to make the empire strong and strong at a relatively small cost and by relatively peaceful non-war means without harming the interests of the people.

The country's strong military strength as the foundation of the guarantee, and then the inclusive policy so that everyone can live in peace and tranquility on the same land, and finally realize the ideal of universal harmony is the true way of the emperor.

Bloody killings and violent plundering can only bring temporary successes. Unfortunately, many rulers do not understand this truth, or they understand this truth but are unwilling to do so in a hurry for quick success, and eventually they will inevitably decline and decline.

What you bring to the people of the world, the people of the world will give you back, this is what Shao Xi said before, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!

The simplest truth in this world is often the easiest to be overlooked, so the emperor needs to be surrounded by someone to advise him from time to time to remind the emperor what to do and what not to do.

Although a courtier who can speak outright may not be a capable or virtuous minister, he must be a loyal minister, a person who can really express his views directly for the interests of the royal family and the interests of the people, and exhort the emperor not to be impulsive and make fewer mistakes, so as to achieve a balance between the interests of the royal family and the people.

Although the royal family is noble, it is not allowed to compete with the people for profit. This truth requires someone to remind the emperor from time to time, so as to urge the emperor to be diligent and love the people, and remind the emperor to act prudently and correct mistakes.

In Xiao Yuming's eyes, Shao Xi is such a person, a person who can speak out, clearly state the interests and disadvantages, dare to directly deny the radical ideas of their father and son, and put forward his own suggestions.

"Shao Xi, what you said makes sense, I am indeed taught today. My father and I used to have the same idea, and I only thought about making the empire strong as soon as possible, so that we could expand the territory and establish an immortal hegemony for thousands of years, in order to leave a name in history.

"Now it seems that as the king of the empire, what should really be considered should not be his own temporary achievements, but should devote more efforts to the stable continuation of the empire, and the real strength is not the ability to conquer everywhere, but to make the Quartet submit and join willingly." Shao Xi gave Xiao Yuming a thumbs up, although he was a little complimentary, he also praised from the bottom of his heart: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is really able to think about the general trend of the world from a larger aspect, and it is really a blessing for the Holy God to have His Royal Highness assist!" I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be a benevolent and virtuous lord in the future, which is also the blessing of the people of Jingyuan! Xiao Yuming smiled and waved his hand at Shao Xi.

"It's too much! Although I am now the crown prince, I am also trembling and dare not have the slightest carelessness, lest I make a big mistake, the affairs of the world are definitely not my own power, and I also need a virtuous and capable person like you to give advice, and I can do better by urging me from time to time.

"Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, I still need to be cautious everywhere, step by step, otherwise I don't know when someone will be pulled down from the position of the prince, both to worry about state affairs and distracted to protect myself, now I am really a little exhausted, tired to deal with it!" When Shao Xi heard this, he knew that Xiao Yuming had already won over him, and wanted to make himself a help by his side.

I believe that Xiao Changyi has attached great importance to himself in the recent period, and he has seen all the things he has done for Xiao Changyi outside, and he should also be examining himself to see if he has the ability to become a powerful helper on his future power road.

He has thoughts about Shao Xi, but in fact, why didn't Shao Xi have some kind of thoughts about him in his heart? Xiao Yuming wanted to win over Shao Xi, and it happened that Shao Xi also had the intention of taking refuge in Xiao Yuming at this time, and both sides had their own plans in their hearts, and their purposes were indescribable.

When Xiao Changyi introduced Shao Xi to his three sons, he must have considered that they would have what they are today.

This emperor's old boy is very scheming, he knows that the second prince Xiao Yuzhi has already had the idea and action of rebellion, and still provides him with the opportunity to meet Shao Xi, it seems that he also wants to take this opportunity to see which side Shao Xi will take refuge into?

If he takes refuge in the prince's side, it is not a bad thing for Xiao Changyi, after all, the prince needs someone to assist him in the future, and maybe Shao Xi will become an important minister in the court in the future.

But if Shao Xi chose to take refuge in Xiao Yuzhi when Xiao Yuzhi was wooing Shao Xi, I am afraid that Shao Xi would not end up with a good end.

While keeping an eye on his son, this old fox is actually testing Shao Xi, if Shao Xi is a credible person, then he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, if Shao Xi is on the wrong team, he will be cut off by Xiao Changyi one day.

Shao Xi was afraid for a while when he thought about it now, and couldn't help but secretly scold Xiao Changyi, an old boy, in his heart, was too inauthentic, and his words and deeds were full of murderous intentions.

Now that he has personally revealed Xiao Yu's rebellion, it is in line with the intentions of Xiao Changyi and Xiao Yuming, father and son, and now it seems that the father and son seem to have more trust and praise for themselves.

But who knows how many intrigues and temptations will await him in the future? It seems that in the future, as Xiao Yuming said, he must be cautious and take every step, because he doesn't know when one of his unintentional mistakes may cause death.

Sure enough, it is a companion like a tiger! The companionship of these people who have the power of life and death in their hands is really like walking on thin ice.

Shao Xi secretly reminded himself in his heart that he should be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, be careful everywhere, and think carefully about every decision he makes, so as not to hold Tai'a upside down, give people a handle, and finally end up miserable.

"Wechen knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not easy, if His Royal Highness does not give up, Wechen is willing to saddle up the horse for His Royal Highness, and serve the work of dogs and horses."

"Good! That's great! That's what I'm waiting for. ”
