Chapter 231: Compassion alone can't change the status quo
Did Zhu Yuanzhang do his best?
With the extreme of manpower, he has reached the limit.
Lao Zhu does not have the speed of the eldest grandson's criticism, his batch is a whole day, more than ten years like a day, before the eldest grandson took over, Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask for a day off, a day of slackness.
Zhu Yuanzhang does not waste food, does not wear extravagant clothes, and dedicates all his energy to this country.
Perhaps, his preference for his family has caused a lot of trouble, but we can't criticize him.
Because this is Zhu Yuanzhang's last anchor point.
If he doesn't even love his family anymore, and he doesn't have the slightest emotion, he just blindly reviews and handles political affairs.
Well, it's hard to call it human.
Zhu Yuanzhang has not been out of the capital once since he went down to the south of the Yangtze River in the second year of Hongwu, and it is unimaginable that he can achieve a stable Ming Dynasty and no chaos in state affairs.
But after hearing Yang Shiqi's description, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that it was not enough, Lao Zhu knew that he was going to retire, but the original idea of enjoying his old age quickly disappeared.
Is there anything else we can do for this country after we abdicate?
Lao Zhu hasn't thought about it yet, but Lao Zhu feels that he shouldn't just stop and enjoy.
"Shiqi..."
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he unexpectedly found that his voice was very hoarse, Lao Zhu cleared his throat and said again,
"Shiqi, that's good.
Love the people as a father... Okay, let's stick your words on the courtyards of the outer palace!
Erlu, people's fat and people's ointment, such a simple truth, how many people have forgotten it?!
We have experienced those hard days, and we also know that as long as there is a livelihood and a stutter, who the hell talks about the old dragon lord every day? Talking about the afterlife?
It's us, we haven't done it yet..."
Lao Zhu shook his head dejectedly, even if natural disasters are inevitable, the appearance of so many affected people under the great tomorrow still brings great frustration to Lao Zhu, as if everything has returned to square one.
But this is in front of outsiders, and Lao Zhu's fragility only appeared for a moment.
After closing his eyes for a while, and after opening them again, he was again energetic Hong Wuye,
"It's not a matter if these sect members gather more and more, it is inevitable that they will be used by people with intentions, as the sect leader, what do you do?"
In the end, it is Hong Wuye, whose thinking jumps very fast,
Even if the congregants are poor people, Zhu Yuanzhang understands,
But just letting them gather is not a problem, and it can't solve the problem, so after Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mood, the first thing that came to mind was,
Maintain stability.
Yang Shiqi saluted,
"Your Majesty, before Weichen entered Beijing, he had already disbanded the White Sect, and now it has all been dispersed to various state capitals.
After the disaster in the state capitals, there was a shortage of people, and Weichen had already negotiated with the yamen of the state capitals to let this group of sectarians work for relief, at least they had to give them a job to eat. ”
The congregation was dispersed so that the congregation would not gather.
Cash-for-work is so that they can eat.
Obviously, what Yang Shiqi said just now was to have compassion for these sect members.
However, in terms of the actual solution, Yang Shiqi was completely emotionless, and the solution was extremely beautiful.
As long as he sees the miserable appearance of the White Sect members, unless it is a naturally ruthless villain, ordinary people will probably have pity, Yang Shiqi is also a human being, and he is not out of the ordinary, he is also sad for the White Sect members.
Most people, who feel sorry for them, are only sad for a while, because they are not able to help others.
And people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Shiqi are different, they will also be emotional, but when doing things, they will not let their feelings affect their judgment.
Perhaps, only such people can really help those in need.
It can really be ruthless and rational at critical moments.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Yang Shiqi meaningfully for a while, if Yang Shiqi only has the ability to empathize, it will only be an ordinary man, because empathy ability is not an advantage,
If you empathize too much with poor people and are too mediocre yourself, this empathy ability will be like a knife, scratching yourself countless times.
But in addition to Yang Shiqi's strong empathy, he also has the decisiveness to cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and these two abilities together are Wang Bang.
This is the essential quality of a statecraft!
If they lack the ability to empathize, but are very capable, such courtiers can only be regarded as capable ministers, because they have no way to empathize and truly feel the pain of the people and what they really need, how can they formulate policies that benefit the people and the country?
If you have a lot of empathy ability, but you don't have the ability, as mentioned earlier, you will end up trapped in a labyrinth called pity, constantly hurting yourself, and constantly suffering from internal friction.
But if you have both the ability to empathize and the ability...
"Yang Shiqi, we didn't have a low opinion of you, but we still looked down on you."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, with unconcealable joy in his tone, this is the talent most needed to build a prosperous world!
Now Yang Shiqi has shown his light, and the two pieces of jade next to him will shine sooner or later.
Zhu Yuanzhang may not see the day when Sanyang grows to the peak,
But Lao Zhu can now imagine,
What a sight it would be when the perfect body of these three people stood above the court of the eldest grandson,
It's really enviable....
Yang Shiqi bowed his head and saluted.
"We can't seal you for the time being, the official of the squire, some people will find it difficult to match it for a lifetime, and you are not young, you have already reached the squire, so let's do it first."
Moreover, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say was that there was nothing wrong with the current Ministry of Rites, and the official position was a radish and a pit, and it was impossible to kick Zhu Tong with his backhand in order to promote Yang Shiqi.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yang Shiqi is not arrogant or impatient, but any smart person can figure out that Zhu is nearly forty years old, and this is an official of the Hongwu Dynasty.
And Yang Shiqi is not even twenty-five, this is an official of the Shengwen Dynasty, one step at a time,
Take your time, it's the fastest.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited, the eldest grandson is not enough to rely on his relatives, but also to have capable ministers and foreign ministers, he has to balance the internal and external, and the eldest grandson can sit comfortably on the throne!
"Alright, you guys stand down."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, these three people passed the interview, although the interview of the head of the Ming Dynasty is difficult, but as long as it passes, it will be smooth progress from now on!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sanyang stepped back.
After Sanyang stepped back, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped pretending, completely overjoyed, and patted the armrest of the dragon chair excitedly, happy like a child who was almost seventy years old.
"Our eldest grandson is really lucky! This good courtier is coming to send it in a heap! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shook, and saw that there was a figure in the middle of the court.
Ying Qi was looking at Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded, and when he saw Lao Zhu's gaze, Ying Qi hurriedly lowered his head and said in horror,
"Your Majesty! The subordinates didn't see anything! ”
