Xiao Letian patted Zai Chun on the shoulder and said straightly, "Son, you should go back and look in the mirror to take a good look at who you are now. Go see your changes for yourself."
"What is education? Is it really just being able to memorize all ancient classics and write calligraphy that Wang Xizhi praised? His morals are as high as those of Yan Hui and Liu Xiahui. A good person educated like Yan Hui and Liu Xiahui is a good emperor."
"Stupid children sometimes have perfect morals and are synonymous with useless people. Every kind of morality is a kind of bondage. In the end, it will tie you up into a big cocoon and make you unable to move."
"Don't always look at what you have lost. You have to be brave and show the world what you have gained. Look at yourself. I remember when I saw you last year, the thick fur clothes in winter wrapped you up like a rice dumpling. Your face was unhealthy. Pale"
"But now your skin is rosy, your eyes are lively, your body and bones have sprung up a lot, and your whole person is full of vitality. How can I describe it? In the Forbidden City, you used to be a big green worm crawling on the ground, but now you are an aggressive one. Little praying mantis”
This metaphor is too inappropriate. Zai Chun said with a bitter face, "Can't you change the metaphor? Why is it a big green insect and a praying mantis?"
"Okay, okay, you used to be a sick cat and now you're a little tiger. There's so much going on."
"Silly boy, do you know what the most talented and strategic emperors from ancient times all have?" Xiao Letian asked. Zai Chun shook his head in confusion.
"Idiot, I know you can't guess that the biggest characteristic is long life. Look at the emperor who is praised by people. He didn't live long. Qin Shihuang lived to 49 years old. It seems that he didn't have much time. But don't forget that the average life span of people in the pre-Qin period was also Just forty or fifty years old”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived to be 70 years old, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty lived to be 50 years old, Wu Zetian lived to be 81 years old, and Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty lived to be 77 years old."
"In addition, Ming Taizu lived to 70 years old, and Ming Chengzu lived to 64 years old, not to mention Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, one lived to 68 years old and the other lived to 88 years old."
"Silly boy, the age they lived must be Mingjun Holy Master. Think about it. Emperor Gao Zongchun lived for 88 years. How many people in the world can live that long? Many people only saw this emperor from birth to death. Do you know how huge this force of inertia is?"
"As long as you ensure that you live long enough to control the situation and prevent it from collapsing, then sooner or later the empire will run according to your ideas because you can survive all those who oppose it without killing them."
"When you get older and become courtiers, all the politicians who can compete with you will retire and return to their hometowns. Do you think there will be any obstacles to your governance? You will be able to control the power of the court without bloodshed."
Xiao Letian smiled slyly and said, "For example, Emperor Jiajing, a drug addict who took pills and made elixirs, actually lived to be sixty years old and never went to court. Such a typical fool could control the Ming Dynasty for 45 years."
"That's not right. Master Weng once said that the traitors in the Jiajing Dynasty were rampant. Yan Song and his son controlled the government and did all kinds of evil."
"Exactly," Xiao Letian said disdainfully, "Then who was the one who finally dismissed Yan Song from office? And who was the one who killed Yan Song's son Yan Shifan? Isn't it the Emperor Jiajing? Don't forget that Yan Song was an official promoted by Jiajing. No matter how powerful he is, it is given by the emperor." It’s not easy to want him to die.”
"Whoever gives you power can easily take it away. You must firmly remember how domineering the Eight Tigers were during the Zhengde period. But in the end, Emperor Zhengde handed over a small piece of paper two fingers wide in the leopard room. With just this piece of paper, I can wipe out all the Eight Tigers."
"Why, because power was given to them by the emperor, they can take it away at any time. This is the law of the world and cannot be changed. Zai Chun, remember, when you become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you must first consider who gave you this power. Then those people will also have the ability to take back power."
Zai Chun's face turned pale and he murmured to himself, "Who gave me the power? I am the only son of the late emperor. If I don't inherit the throne, who will? This is only natural."
"Hey!" Xiao Letian yelled and shined a light on Zai Chun's forehead, causing his brain to collapse. "You are so stupid, you are so hopeless, why don't you realize it?"
The loyal guards and eunuchs under the little emperor in the distance no longer dare to look at them. Their hearts are crying. This Xiao Letian is too rebellious. Now I can’t remember how many times he has given the emperor a headache. Although this master is good in every way, he dares to Just this one point of corporal punishment of students has wiped out all his achievements.
But it was strange that the little emperor would do this, which made Xiao Letian burst into tears, but he had no intention of resisting at all.
"Idiots and idiots make people shout long live and shout stupid. Righteousness is very effective, but who is the person who actually operates it? If power wants to operate, it needs people."
"Even if it is the late emperor's legacy, it must be carried out by ministers. No matter how good your inheritance is, Zaichun, you must have countless ministers to support you with practical actions. Only then can you secure the throne. And those people are the ones who gave you the power, although it is a bit borrowed. But if you didn’t have them at that time, you wouldn’t be able to maintain your position at all.”
"When you ascended the throne, it was they who stabilized the government. They helped you finish the war. The so-called Tongzhi ZTE was also created by them. These people are the givers of power to you."
"No matter when these people are your benefactors, you will not be able to form effective control over them, so they will always be an unstable factor in your governance. I am afraid they will be the ones who fail in the future."
"So there are only two choices in front of you. One is to 'suffer' and use your young life to survive them until you grow up and become your direct descendants. The natural rights will be concentrated in your hands. The second The first method is to 'seize'. I don't need to say more. You should understand."
What Xiao Letian said today was a bit profound. Zaichun obviously needed time to digest it, and Xiao Letian did not continue to dwell on this topic. "I just said that the most important thing about your changes this year is health. I think you should understand."
"The second biggest change is that you have been recognized by Ryukyu and Fuso. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was stationed in these two countries. They are already very close to you emotionally, not to mention that you have given Fuso National Famous Construction Fuso Bank”
"The third major change is that you, Zaichun, are no longer alone in the army. The four guards have been trained into excellent grassroots officers. The three hundred Eight Banners disciples in Beijing are now almost trained. This is the strength of a standard battalion."
"Silly boy, just wait for Weng Tonghe to praise you."
