"You are unruly, proud, upright, and don't know how to beat around the bush. You should be clear from your heart about how many people you have offended over the years.
If I hadn't always spoken for you, my father would have chopped you off long ago.
You were like this when I was here, but how unruly you are when I am gone. Who can subdue you?
Besides, you like to form cliques!"
Before Zhu Yu finished speaking, Lan Yu became anxious, "Your Highness, I am unruly. I have a bad mouth and like to offend people. I admit it, but I don't form cliques."
"You talk about the Huaixi lineage. What else is it if you don't form a clique? Isn't this a clear plan to build a hilltop? How can the emperor stand this?
what you up to?
Do you want to make yourself king? Zhu Yu frowned and his tone became more serious, "What is your identity?" Hanging out with those people every day, nothing happens on weekdays.
But if something happens, this is the evidence to kill you.
One is impeached and the other is accurate.
Look at Duke Xin and Duke Zhongshan, who has made great contributions? Who is as unruly and arrogant as you?
What do you mean when you say you are not seeking death?
The great cause still needs you now. If one day, the world is unified, and you are still like this, who can tolerate you?
I understand you and I can tolerate you.
But what about others?
If I'm gone, who will protect you?
At that time, let alone protecting my son, you couldn’t even protect yourself! "
Seeing that Lan Yu was still not convinced, Zhu Yuba raised his voice and said, "Just listen when I tell you, this is not to harm you, look at how unconvinced you are now.
You don't even care what I say about you. Do you care about what others say? "
Lan Yu's face was filled with grievances, but if he thought about it carefully, Zhu Yu really meant what he said for his own good.
But he was still unconvinced, "Your Highness, I don't think I ignore what others say, I just don't agree with them sometimes or don't like to hear them."
Although he knew intellectually that Zhu Yu was doing it for his own good, he still felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
At this time, Zhu Yu sighed and softened his tone slightly: "Lan Yu, I know you have your own thoughts and positions, and I also understand that you don't have any bad intentions. But sometimes we have to learn to listen so that we can make fewer mistakes.
We can't always be satisfied with everyone's opinions, but we can try to accept and learn more from them. "
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yu, and he began to calmly think about whether his behavior was a little too stubborn and unwilling to accept other people's opinions.
Take a deep breath and try to let go of your stubbornness and become more open to listening and accepting different perspectives.
As the thought gradually deepened, Lan Yu felt a cold sweat on his back. This was because he realized that he might have done some things wrong in the past, which might bring disaster to himself and his family.
At this time, Zhu Yu said these words to remind him and tell him that he still had time to change.
"You may not understand what I mean now, but I tell you, I understand you, others may not understand you.
When others want to kill you, you say everything is in vain.
Even if you protect my son, fine, but who can tolerate your temper?
What if one day my son fails to live up to his expectations and you feel annoyed? Zhu Yu asked back: "If he kicked you away, or listened to other people's slander and killed you, wouldn't your death have been in vain?" "
Lan Yu said awkwardly: "My great-grandson is not a dim-witted person."
"My son is still young, who knows what his future will be like? Uncertainty is the biggest variable, and now, you know in your heart what my sixth brother is like.
He is smart, wise, talented, and someone you can rely on.
Moreover, my sixth brother Yunwen Yunwu has a group of capable people under his command. These people can handle government affairs very well even without the help of the Huaixi lineage or the Zhejiangdong lineage.
This is something others don't have.
Moreover, given his identity, he is also a very suitable successor.
Therefore, I hope you don’t promise well on the surface but look down on him secretly.
I know your temper, so I implore you to be loyal to my sixth brother! "
After listening to Zhu Yu's words, Lan Yu's grievance and discomfort gradually dissipated.
He deeply felt that Zhu Yu really cared about him and hoped that he could change his stubbornness and attitude of not accepting other people's opinions.
He knew that his temper did sometimes affect others, and Zhu Yu's reminder at this moment made him realize that he needed to change.
Hearing Zhu Yu's praise and trust in Zhu Jun, Lan Yu's inner thoughts gradually changed.
He decided to put aside his personal prejudices and stubbornness and truly be loyal to Zhu Jun.
He promised Zhu Yu that he would do his best to accept and learn from other people's opinions, and at the same time, he would fully support Zhu Jun.
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yu deeply and knelt on the ground, "I must remember His Highness the Crown Prince's teachings and never forget them!"
Zhu Yu then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction, "If you listen to my words, you will definitely be able to achieve great success in the future.
I also believe that in the future, my sixth brother will definitely value you and put you to good use. "
Seeing Lan Yu's attitude change, Zhu Yu became more and more sure of his judgment.
He knew Lan Yu's strength and talent, but he had never been reused by Zhu Yuanzhang because of some personality problems.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang reused him, he was also on guard against him.
Now, Zhu Yu decided to give Lan Yu a chance to help him change his past stubbornness and unruliness.
He doesn't know how long he can live, but before that, he must polish Lan Yu's character.
Let him put aside his personal biases and learn to accept and listen to the opinions of others.
He hoped that Lan Yu could support Zhu Jun from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Yu believes that as long as Lan Yu can listen to his words and truly take action, he will be able to make a difference in the future.
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yu with sadness and gratitude. He knew that he would never meet another monarch who was so tolerant and understanding of him in his life.
He knelt on the ground and once again expressed that he would never forget Zhu Yu's teachings, and promised that he would do his best to serve Zhu Jun.
Zhu Yu finally let go of his worries at this time and nodded with satisfaction.
He believed that if Lan Yu listened to his words, he would achieve greater success in the future. This conversation was an important turning point for Lan Yu, who decided to change his personality and attitude.
Many years later, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel grateful when he thought of his conversation with Zhu Yu today.
At that time, Lan Yu had become the God of War of Daye, trusted by Zhu Jun, and even made a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke.
Zhu Jun even wanted to canonize him as the county king, but at that time, after remembering Zhu Yu's words, he readily refused.
Of course, these are all things for later.
At the moment, he feels nothing but sadness in his heart.
The monarch he was loyal to persuaded him to serve someone else. Is there anything sadder in the world than this?
