Hearing the voice of Prince Zhu Heyu, Zhao Shancai sighed softly, put down the book in his hand, and looked up at Prince Zhu Heyu. Tianlai Xiao' said www. 『⒉
Although Zhao Shancai had been tortured by frequent abdominal pain during this period, Zhao Shancai's eyes were still bright and wise at this time. Looking at the expressions of Crown Prince Zhu Heyu, Zhao Shancai quickly guessed what Prince Zhu Heyu was thinking at this time.
After shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shan raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, please sit down and talk."
After Prince Zhu and Yu sat down, Zhao Shan slowly said, "Does His Highness the Prince know about Bao Wenze?"
I originally thought that Zhao Shancai would blame himself, but I didn't expect that Zhao Shancai suddenly mentioned a completely unrelated person.
However, Prince Zhu Heyu still nodded and said: "Of course we know that this person is the elder of the former court. He is a man of integrity and good governance. He is a model for all officials. The late emperor also valued him quite highly. It is a pity that he died young and joined the cabinet. He died of illness shortly after taking office."
Zhao Shancai asked: "So, His Highness has high regard for this person?"
Prince Zhu Heyu nodded again and said: "This is natural. If there are more figures like Bao Wenze from the previous dynasty among the court officials, then the situation in the temples of our dynasty will definitely be much clearer."
Zhao Shancai sighed again and said, "In that case, let me tell you a story. When Bao Wenze was the prefect of Xi'an, when the weather was dry, an explosion occurred in a fireworks workshop in the north of the city, and then lit again. A nearby oil mill caused a fire, and more than a thousand people were trapped in the sea of fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too fierce and could not be extinguished by water. Instead, it became more intense, and the fire was about to spread throughout the city."
Hearing Zhao Shancai's slow talk, Prince Zhu Heyu gradually became fascinated even though he didn't know Zhao Shancai's intention.
However, when Zhao Shan reached this point, he suddenly stopped. Instead, he asked Prince Zhu Heyu: "Your Highness, if you were Bao Wenze at that time, how would you handle this matter?"
Prince Zhu Heyu looked serious and said: "If I were Bao Wenze, no matter how fierce the fire was, I would do my best to put it out. After all, there are more than a thousand people in the sea of fire who may die at any time. As a local Parents, of course, cannot abandon it, even if there is only a slight chance, they must try their best."
Hearing Prince Zhu Heyu's answer, Zhao Shancai seemed to have expected it, but there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
Then, Zhao Shancai continued to talk: "Unfortunately, Bao Wenze's choice was different from His Royal Highness. He did not try his best to put out the fire. Instead, he sent all his limited manpower around the sea of fire, either to evacuate the crowd, or to Demolish all combustible things or knock down the houses around the sea of fire to prevent the further spread of the sea of fire. For Bao Wenze, the damage caused by the sea of fire is an established fact, and the possibility of saving it is not high, so He chose to control the damage, and for this reason he even dispersed the people who were putting out the fire, just because he was worried that the number of people dying in the flames would further increase."
After hearing what Zhao Shancai said, Prince Zhu Heyu felt a little incredible and asked: "Is it possible that Bao Wenze just ignored the people who were caught in the sea of fire? Didn't he send anyone to rescue the people?"
Zhao Shancai replied: "From a certain point of view, Bao Wenze considered this at the time. Those people who were trapped in the sea of fire had little chance of being rescued, so he gave up on them. Of course, Bao Wenze still sent people to rescue them. Yes, a total of ten people have been sent.”
"Ten people? To extinguish such a huge fire? To rescue more than a thousand people? Only sent ten people?" Hearing this, Prince Zhu Heyu felt even more incredible.
Zhao Shancai looked calm and nodded: "Yes, he sent ten people to put out the fire and rescue people, and gave these ten people death orders. If the fire cannot be extinguished and the people cannot be rescued, then these ten people will not have to come back. ...In the end, all ten people died in the sea of fire. And among these ten people, one was his biological son!"
Prince Zhu Heyu was about to condemn Bao Wenze for his irresponsibility, but after hearing that Bao Wenze's own son also died in the fire while trying to save others, he didn't know how to evaluate this matter for a moment.
Zhao Shancai asked again: "Bao Wenze must have been very clear at that time that sending only ten people to put out the fire and save people would completely leave them to die, but he still made such a decision, even if his own children were among them. Son. So, does His Highness the Crown Prince know why Bao Wenze made such a decision?"
At this point in the story, Prince Zhu Heyu was completely confused. Naturally, he shook his head to express his ignorance.
And Zhao Shancai sighed and said: "He did this not only to stabilize people's hearts, but also to block the world's long-lasting mouth! If he had not sent these ten people to die, then those who were eager to put out the fire would have been forcibly evacuated by Bao Wenze. The people would have rioted! If he had not sent these ten people to die, then the people of the world would have condemned him for not putting out the fire and for neglecting the people! So, he had sent these ten people to die, even if one of them was His biological son will not hesitate to do so!"
Prince Zhu Heyu couldn't help but be stunned. When he first heard this story, his attention was only on the more than a thousand people trapped in the sea of fire, but he never thought about it at all.
On the other side, Zhao Shancai continued: "After reading this incident from the Xi'an Prefectural Chronicle, I also thought about the consequences if Bao Wenze only blindly put out fires and rescued people without controlling the fire and evacuating the crowd. What will happen? The answer is that at least half of Xi'an will be in flames, and the number of casualties will increase at least ten times!"
After a pause, Zhao Shancai said again: "Now, does His Highness the Crown Prince still think that what Bao Wenze did was wrong?"
Prince Zhu Heyu hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
Abandoning the people in the sea of fire and sending people to die in the sea of fire are not in line with what Prince Zhu Heyu did, but Prince Zhu Heyu had to admit that this was indeed the most correct method.
Unfortunately, the so-called correct method often has nothing to do with words such as kindness and kindness.
Just as Crown Prince Zhu Heyu was deep in thought, Zhao Shan finally got to the point and said slowly: "I have heard about what happened in court this morning. I just told His Highness the story because I wanted to tell the Crown Prince Your Highness will explain three things."
After saying that, Zhao Shancai raised a finger: "First of all, I know that His Highness the Crown Prince feels a little guilty and regretful now, but just like the Xi'an fire back then, now that the damage has been done, we should keep our eyes open. In terms of how to prevent further losses, rather than just focusing on past losses and blaming ourselves.”
After seeing Crown Prince Zhu Heyu nodding, Zhao Shan raised his second finger: "Secondly, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince understands that as a superior person, there is always no chance of kindness. Excessive kindness and consideration will only ruin the overall situation. I don’t blame His Highness the Crown Prince for concealing the latest information from me last night. After all, I’m just a guest on the staff and can’t really make the decision. With my current physical condition, and I don’t know how long I can assist His Highness the Crown Prince, I can’t I don’t want His Royal Highness to rely too much on my ideas, but I hope that His Highness will no longer hide information from me out of temporary compassion. Although I have been feeling unwell recently, I can still hold on."
Hearing Zhao Shancai's words, which were vaguely intended to explain the funeral arrangements, Prince Zhu Heyu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
However, before Crown Prince Zhu Heyu could speak, Zhao Shan raised his third finger: "Thirdly, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can learn from today's lesson and carefully analyze the pros and cons of things when making decisions in the future. Stop staring at what’s in front of you and stop being blindly impulsive.”
After saying that, Zhao Shan put away his three fingers, looked at Crown Prince Zhu Heyu with a serious expression, and asked: "Is it possible for His Highness the Crown Prince to achieve these three points?"
