Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"Uncle Li, civilians rule the country, military generals lead the army, Li Ge is right?"

After leaving the lobby, the little emperor seemed to finally be unable to hold back his doubts, looked up at Li Xiu and asked.

"There is no right or wrong in governing a country, there are only pros and cons!"

"Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, after seeing it clearly, it becomes clear how to choose."

"Oh…"

Little Tianzi nodded, he remembered that this should be the second time his Uncle Li said such a thing.

He used to be a little ignorant, but now, Xiao Tianzi feels that he seems to understand a little bit.

"Pros and cons!"

Little Tianzi recited in his heart, keeping these two words firmly in his heart.

At this moment, Li Xiu pushed open the door and stepped into the study.

On the table, as always, it was full of military affairs from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiu stepped forward, picked up a chair, and put it on the side of the desk. Immediately, he put the little emperor on the chair, and took out a book of memorials and placed it in front of the little emperor.

The little emperor stared blankly at the playbook in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.

"After reading it, tell Uncle Li again, what is said here and how to deal with it, do you understand?"

"clear."

The little emperor nodded earnestly, moved his body a bit, then leaned forward, opened the book, and looked at it seriously.

Li Xiu stared at it for a moment, then slowly turned his eyes away, and looked at the recordings in front of him. Like the little emperor, he picked it up and opened it...

Time passed little by little, and the only sound in the room was the turning of pages.

Played this, played, of course, is the matter of the military.

In this era, although the punctuation of sentence breaks has a prototype, it is far from perfect, let alone popularized.

Therefore, in this era, being literate does not mean being able to read books.

There is no punctuation in the whole article. From the beginning to the end, it is all obscure classical Chinese. Many ministers are used to citing classics, and they are used to citing the classics.

In this way, to understand a memorial is not only a matter of one eye and ten lines, but also extremely brain-intensive and requires a certain cultural background.

Whether the little emperor can understand, understand, Li Xiu is optimistic.

Although only five or six years old, this five or six years old is obviously a completely different concept from the five or six years old of other people in the world.

"Uncle Li, I've finished reading it."

After an unknown amount of time, the little emperor turned his head and looked at Li Xiu.

Hearing this, Li Xiu slowly closed the playbook in his hand, and immediately took the playbook in front of Xiao Tianzi, and said, "Brother Chun, tell me, who presented this playbook, what it says, and how to do it. deal with?"

"This is, this is... Jiangnan household department... Left servant Hong Chengchou presented."

Xiao Tianzi frowned and said intermittently.

"The memorial says that in Zhejiang... 6 businessmen who stocked... hoarded goods were seized, the prefect of Huzhou prefecture, inspection... Hangzhou prefecture... Jinhua prefecture... A total of 16 officials were involved..."

"Hong Chengchou asks for instructions, what should I do..."

Although it was stumbling, in the end, the little emperor still told the matter clearly.

Li Xiu also closed Hong Chengchou's memorial, and then looked at the little emperor and asked, "What do you think Brother Chun should do?"

Xiao Tianzi frowned for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Uncle Li, I don't know,"

"The business of merchants also has advantages and disadvantages."

"Xunzi said: In the North Sea, there are horses and dogs barking, but China has them and animals make them. In the South China Sea, there are feathers, tooth leather, Zeng Qing, and Dan Qianyan, but China gets rich. There are fish and salt, but China has it for food and clothing. There is leather in the West Sea, and the text is good, but China has it and uses it. This is the role of merchants and the benefit of merchants.”

"However, if the merchants don't do what Xunzi said about normal transactions and contribute to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, but instead hoard goods, collude with officials, harm the people, and destabilize one party, then, is this a disadvantage?"

"Um."

The little emperor nodded, seeming to understand.

Li Xiu asked again: "Then, if the businessman acts like this, does the advantage outweigh the disadvantage, or does the disadvantage outweigh the advantage?"

The little emperor immediately said: "It's more harm than good! These business officials should be killed!"

"Yes, it should be killed!"

Li Xiu nodded and said again: "But, the premise of killing is that we have to consider, what impact will the killing of these merchant officials have, and what are the pros and cons of this impact?"

"If, as a decision maker, you can't resist or face the impact of making a decision, no matter how big the harm is, you have to put it off for the time being and seek other ways to make it happen."

Although he said it so cautiously, the writing style never stopped in this memorial book. In just a few words, the fate of the hundreds of people in Zhejiang was set.

"Uncle Li, I know."

The little emperor nodded, his face serious.

"It's good to understand, just keep it in mind."

Li Xiu picked up the little emperor and said with a smile, "Let's eat something, and Uncle Li will send Brother Chun back to the palace."

"All right…"

The little emperor was obviously a little lost, but he nodded obediently.

He also thought that this time he could play in the palace!

The Fuzhong Kitchen has been busy for a day, and with a single command, delicious dishes were placed on the table one after another.

After filling his stomach a little, Li Xiu entered the palace again with the little emperor in his arms.

After Li Xiu sent the little emperor back to the Qianqing Palace, when he came out again, the twilight had come, and the last afterglow of the sunset on the horizon crossed the sky and the earth, disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Strolling in the square outside the Qianqing Palace, staring at the setting sun, Li Xiu suddenly stopped, then turned around, and walked towards the depths of the palace.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded quickly, and Li Xiu's pace was unhurried, and his figure was also slowly sinking into the coming twilight.

In the end, when Li Xiu stopped and stopped, the space in front of him turned from empty to silent, from solemn to gloomy.

White yarn fluttered and candles flickered.

The mourning hall was empty and no one was seen. Chongzhen's coffin was still located in this mourning hall.

When this scene entered his eyes, Li Xiu's eyes flickered, and he stopped for a long time before slowly taking a step ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to the coffin.

Caressing the coffin lightly, the gloomy texture is clearly conveyed to the bottom of my heart through my fingertips.

Li Xiu's heart was very calm, never before.

All illusions and fantasies have dissipated, and what remains is only the cold reality, just like the cold texture of this coffin.

"The ruler treats his subjects like brothers and feet, and the subject treats the ruler as his heart. The ruler treats his subjects like dogs and horses, and his subjects treat him like a countryman. The ruler treats his subjects like soil mustards, and his subjects treat him like a robber!"

In the silence, Li Xiu murmured that this sentence from Mencius and abridged by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was also the sentence that caused the shocking storm in the capital and directly led to the death of Chongzhen.

There is no hesitation on the look, only the firmness of the heart has been determined...
