Chapter 76 Dry Goods
"Bold!"
A eunuch shouted, "You are a little talent, the prince looks down on you and allows you to work for it, this is a great gift, you dare to refuse!"
This eunuch, the personal eunuch of Prince Yu, can be described as a high authority, and between the words, with great deterrence, ordinary scholars may have knelt down long ago when they looked at it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But Liu Xiu looked calm and disdainful in his heart.
A guy who doesn't have ****, you have been a slave for a long time, and you take it as fun to be a slave, and Lao Tzu doesn't like to be a slave.
"Forget it. I'm a mountain village man, so let's go home to farm and study!" Liu Xiu said calmly, "As for serving the prince." In my eyes, there is only the king, and when the prince becomes the king, it will not be too late for me to serve again, as for now? Let me go back! I am a mountain villager, and it will be a shame to stay here!"
When Prince Yu heard this, he was angry in his heart, and said with a smile: "If I am not a king, I am not worthy of service;
"Wrong!" Liu Xiu was also a little tired of it, this kind of deceit, this kind of intrigues, there are ten hidden meanings in a word, and when it comes to talking, it is too boring, so he simply picks it out, "Lord Wang, do you know what era this is?"
"What era!" Prince Yu was furious, only feeling that this scholar was too rampant, and he was not in awe of him at all.
"It's a time when there's no talent. In society, talent cannot be born, and the times do not need talent!" Liu Xiu commented: "This is an era of fools, and when he becomes an emperor, he is an era of peace and security for the country; this is an era of waste material, and when he becomes a prime minister, he is an era in which the people are happy." As long as you walk step by step, you can adjust the wind and rain in the times!"
It seemed that it was difficult to deter the enemy without breaking the news of some dry goods, so Liu Xiu began to talk about dry goods.
"To be an emperor, you don't need to be too intelligent, you don't need to be too smart, you don't need to be too talented. Because the emperor is too capable, the courtiers are often unemployed, none of the courtiers like it, and the king is too smart. And a king who is too wise is often a disaster for the country and a tragedy for the people. Wise kings always like to expand their territory, govern martial arts, cut off nails one by one, prosper the world, and create a prosperous era of Yongle and Kangqian. But the so-called prosperous era often consumes the accumulated heritage of predecessors, consumes the strange books of later generations, and accelerates the fall of the dynasty. After prosperity, there are often troubled times, and this is exactly the truth!"
Therefore, the courtiers did not like the king who was too clever because it blocked the way to get rich, and the people did not like the king who was too clever and wanted to raise taxes! Therefore, many wise princes could not be emperors. The prince is too smart, it is unlikely that he will become an emperor, and he doesn't need my help!"
It is a big taboo to talk shallow and deep!
The friendship is not deep, it is better not to talk too much, not to speak deeply.
However, Liu Xiu had to say that just because he didn't say some dry goods, he couldn't stop this prince, and it was difficult to leave.
Suddenly, these dry goods shook Prince Yu inside and out.
Prince Yu was suddenly silent, his lips turned blue, and he couldn't speak.
Liu Xiu smiled faintly and was silent.
Why can a tyrant become an emperor because he is needed, and why can a fool become an emperor because he is needed?
Many emperors like smart children, and they like to let smart children become the next emperor, but they are often opposed by ministers, saying that they are elders but not young, or that virtue is not thick, and so on. To put it bluntly, the courtiers didn't like the prince who was too smart, and became the emperor.
The emperor was too smart, and his courtiers were often prone to unemployment;
The emperor was too smart, and the courtiers' way to fortune was blocked.
How good it is for a fool to be an emperor!
The emperor was in charge of the sacrifices, he was in charge of the pleasures of the harem, and the courtiers were in power and made a fortune. Division of labor and cooperation, hello, hello, everyone!
And a wise prince, being an emperor is often a tragedy for the country!
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too smart, and as a result, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty died, if the emperor was a little stupid and mediocre, maybe he could continue the national fortune for hundreds of years; Tang Xuanzong was too smart, and as a result, the Anshi Rebellion came, and the Tang Dynasty went into decline; and Qianlong was too smart, and as a result, he squandered the national fortune, which led to the Great Rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in the time of his son, and almost collapsed.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the failed Qianlong, and Qianlong was the successful Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
"Bold, you dare to talk about the government!" shouted the eunuch again.
Liu Xiu despised in his heart, this eunuch's IQ is too low!
Liu Xiu sneered: "But if you want to, you can be accused of arguing about the politics of the DPRK and the DPRK! The powerful always have all kinds of reasons for punishing people for crimes!
"I don't know sir, is there a way to crack it?"
Prince Jade asked.
"There's no way to crack it!" Liu Xiu said calmly.
"Please sir teach me!"
Prince Yu's tone became respectful, as if he was looking at a teacher.
Liu Xiu said: "Water can carry a boat, or it can overturn a boat, it is said that the people are like water, and the king is like a boat; the king must be kind to the people, but the army is impermanent, and the water is impermanent." The will of the people has always been changeable, like flowing water, elusive. One moment, it may be the will of the people, and the next moment, it may be the point of a thousand people!"
"I know a thing, though. Many emperors can become emperors only because they are needed, and many emperors can be good emperors only because they are needed, everything is self-evident!"
Prince Yu's heart suddenly lit up, and he understood something in a trance.
All along, he has worked hard in all aspects of talent, morality, politics, etc., trying to get the approval of his father, but now it seems that he is fundamentally wrong, and he is on the wrong path. Because no matter how well he does, the decision is in the hands of his father, and his father's word determines life and death!
Once he is needed by the people, by the courtiers, and by all aspects, even if his father is unwilling to do anything at that time, he has no choice but to pass on the throne to him.
If the father is unwilling, many courtiers will advise, even warn.
Because he is needed.
The road was pointed out clearly, and Prince Yu immediately understood something, and couldn't help but bow down and say, "Thank you, sir, for your guidance!"
"Lord Wang, I can leave now!"
Liu Xiu said.
"Sir, if Mr. stays, I am willing to treat him with the courtesy of a teacher!" said Prince Yu, looking like a corporal of courtesy.
Liu Xiu was not moved at all, but said calmly: "I should go back, I don't know how the rice grows in the field!"
"Since Mr. wants to leave, this king will not stop him!" Prince Yu said: "This king just gave Mr. some gifts, I hope Mr. will not postpone!"
