Li He didn't leave immediately, and asked his doubts first, since the content of the professor is to use people, then what you don't understand must be asked clearly.

"The book says that only talent is used, but this talent, my grandson is puzzled. How can we judge whether a person is talented, suitable for a certain official position, life and background, and what is the relationship between talent and talent? ”

The answer to this question was also taken by Emperor Wu for many years to answer and learn.

She didn't answer immediately, but asked Li He another question, "How did your parents use people?" ”

Li He: "My mother thinks a lot about employing people, and my grandson doesn't know about it, and my father is even more disorganized.

Mothers often consider the distance between relatives, position and power, official reputation, and style of doing things. As for talent, the grandson can't see it from the information. ”

Emperor Wu: "Then learn to read from now on."

Your father employs people based on likes and dislikes, mixed with too many personal feelings, and quick thinking leads to changeable things. Being appointed by him, in my opinion, was nothing more than luck and the right time. Who doesn't want a fat difference like Wu Yanxiu, and what does Wu Yanxiu have to do with himself if he can be appointed?

Your mother is cautious and conservative, and there is nothing wrong with her, but she is hardly successful. That's not what she's good at, that's why I taught you earlier. ”

Li He nodded yes.

Emperor Wu continued, "The book says that the Ming Emperor must not be nepotistic, but must use meritocracy.

What is virtuous, for the government to be able to secure the people, for the general to be able to defend the territory.

What is the ability, the upper can be relied on by the boss, and the lower can be loyal and admired by the subordinates.

Sages, not necessarily. Those who are capable may not be virtuous.

There is no one in ten thousand. ”

Li He secretly thought, whether to use virtuous or energy, how to know whether a person can or virtuous.

Emperor Wu continued, "Everyone has likes and dislikes, and only those who can be trusted by others can be capable, and those who have the opportunity to appear around you, but cannot be trusted and recognized by you, will naturally not get the opportunity to be appointed, and they will not be able to grasp the opportunity, and they cannot afford to be a capable word."

The world can only understand the people around them, and I can't know if the small people in the frontier can do great things.

Shouldering the weight of a country, you can only use people you trust.

Employing people must use those who are capable.

Virtuousness is whether it understands the major affairs of the country, whether it can solve the needs of the people, whether it dares to be the first in the world, and whether it is fair. These are the criteria by which people judge virtue.

Being able to discover people's problems and propose many solutions to them can also be called talented. However, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and having a method does not mean that it can be implemented, nor does it mean that it can be successful.

Before the appointment, there is no way to know whether a person is virtuous or not, you can only gamble. Appoint petty officials first, slowly investigate, and if there is merit, they will be promoted according to their political achievements.

Got it? ”

Li He: "I understand. Only those who are trustworthy can be appointed, who are not of bad character, and who do not have much ambition. If they are wise, they will be able to carry out the task. ”

Emperor Wu asked again, "What about those who are not virtuous enough?" ”

This is the point, there is no one in ten thousand virtuous people, but if the country wants to be rich and strong, and the society must progress, not everyone can be incomparably intelligent. Such mediocre people are the vast majority of officials.

Li He replied, "You can imitate, the problems they can't solve, there are people stronger than them to solve, as long as they act according to the order and follow the gourd, they can solve all kinds of problems."

If you can take the initiative to observe and learn from places with good political performance, it is also a good idea. On the contrary, they themselves have no talent, and they have to have official status, so they will be more fortunate and cherished, and show more.

As for those who are unable to solve the problem, who are unwilling to make progress, and who do not even do well according to orders, they cannot be used. ”

"The virtuous but the impossible?"

"Those who are virtuous but can't do it may not be able to use it, but they can't use it greatly."

Emperor Wu nodded, "The children can be taught."

There are many people in this world who think that they are unparalleled in their talents and talents, and they belong to this category. If you can't do small things well, but you want to do big things, it's foolish.

Whether it is a senior member of the DPRK or a senior general in the army, they have been recognized and promoted step by step, whether they are from a family or from a noble background, but the starting point is different, but no one has ever been able to ascend to the sky in one step.

In the royal family, the same is true, even if the Son of Heaven has to win the struggle of many princes in order to inherit the throne.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there has been a tradition of establishing the eldest son, most monarchs have not complied with it. If the eldest son doesn't win the hearts of the ministers and gather strength, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being deposed or even killed, do you understand? ”

Li He's heart tightened, which meant that he, the quasi-heir, was only temporary, and if he didn't behave well, he would not have good fruit to eat, "Grandson must live up to His Majesty's teachings." ”

Emperor Wu continued, "Most people in this world live a very ordinary life, the sun rises and the sun sets, and the cycle repeats.

However, you are luckier than most people and can enjoy many privileges from the very beginning, being able to choose your own destiny.

Even if you don't want to work hard, you won't be too desolate, and you won't have to be forced to work, to suffer for a living, and you won't stop working.

But you have to remember that the happiness you deserve is because of your origin, and you are fortunate to be born in the royal family.

The people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment for a day, and this country will be held in the hands of the descendants of the Li family for a day, and your children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy this happiness for a day. Every descendant of the Li family has the mission to protect the stability of the country and the power in your hands, not only for the glory of the ancestors, but also for the descendants of future generations. ”

Li He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I will never dare to forget His Majesty's teachings and the mission of protecting the country." ”

It's just that, Your Majesty, your surname is Wu.

Emperor Wu smiled kindly, as if he sensed Li He's thoughts, and seemed to be mocking himself, "I also thought about building a Wu Zhou empire and passing on my country from generation to generation, but my sons are not surnamed Wu, and they are not sincere in changing their surnames, and my daughter ,...

Don't mention it.

If Taiping was not my favorite daughter, and because of her insistence back then, I would have taken this piece of the country, and Li Tang would only have become yesterday's yellow flower.

But the world is unpredictable, and I lost to myself in the end. ”

The Martial Emperor was a little sad, but he eased up in a second, "It's just that I don't want to, not that I can't." ”

The only one who can overcome me in this world is myself.

Li He didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't know how to answer the phone, so he could only stiffen, didn't he talk about employing people, and why did he talk about the mission of the country again.

I listen, Your Majesty is right.

That's what my mother said, and my father said, and what my mother said was right.

So, the mother's mother is right.

He doesn't understand, the invincible loneliness of an emperor. In just a few decades of life, all opponents were defeated by her one by one, and in the end, she ascended to that position that no one dared to think of, becoming the first female emperor in history, no one dared to oppose her, and no one who opposed it could succeed.

I still remember what my mother told him when I was a child, a Taoist priest said that she would be an emperor in the future.

She really did it, as long as she wanted, she could get it.

Wu Zetian successfully proved that success has nothing to do with gender, but it is much more difficult.

Wu Zetian proved that success has nothing to do with gender, Jiang Ziya proved that success has nothing to do with age, Zhu Yuanzhang proved that success has nothing to do with background, Ma Yun proved that success has nothing to do with appearance, Bill Gates has proved that success has nothing to do with education, and I am more powerful, I have proved that success has nothing to do with me.
