Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2990 The Prince of Benevolence and Righteousness

Li Chengqian was drinking tea, looking out of the window, the light of the lantern under the eaves illuminated the square inch of the land, and the fine rain was like thousands of lines under the light, fluttering in chaos.

The scenery a little far away is shadowy, like a dream.

"Gu has self-knowledge, and he is definitely not a generation of heroic heroes like the father. Not only is he lacking in talent, but he is also soft-hearted. How can he be as decisive and decisive as Qin Huang and Han Zu?"

Li Chengqian turned his gaze back, looked at Fang Jun in front of him, his eyes sparkled brightly: "However, I don't have nothing to pursue, I only know how to go with the flow and be at peace with the situation! There are tens of thousands of people in this world, each with their own temperament. There are many others. And those people who are supported by all people and can go down in history are all cruel, resolute and courageous people? Not necessarily so."

Outside the window, the wind and rain are thickening, and the water vapor is cold.

Fang Jun looked at Li Chengqian, who was talking so eloquently in front of him, that he was able to have this kind of awareness, and felt a little impressed. It can be seen that he has been thinking about his future and what kind of path he should take.

Suddenly I feel very interested, I want to listen carefully to Li Chengqian, who has changed his destiny in this life, and how he will gain different understanding from his previous life experience from different life experiences.

He poured out the water in the pot, brewed a pot of tea again, filled the teacups in front of the two of them with tea, then picked up a cup for himself, took a sip, and simply changed from kneeling to cross-legged, with a look of great interest and listening attentively look like.

Li Chengqian just glanced at him without blaming him for being impolite, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and felt the fragrance of the tea, and then continued: "People are different, even those emperors who are famous in history, or Wenzhi is unparalleled, or martial arts are outstanding, but how many people are both civil and military? Gu's talent is limited, it can be said that if you can't write well, you can't succeed in martial arts, and people all over the world ridicule weak character and benevolence of women. However, the benevolence of women is different. Why not? Sui Yangdi is also known as a great talent and general strategy, and his achievements are rare in ancient and modern times, but his character is irritable and self-willed, and he treats courtiers even more meanly and ungratefully. If he can have a bit of womanly benevolence and treat others more tolerantly It’s not that radical, why did the Great Sui Dynasty die in the second generation, and why did the people of the world suffer so much?”

Fang Jun nodded and said, "Your Highness has profound insights."

As a courtier, one must have the awareness to sit down and be amused, not to mention that Li Chengqian's words are indeed correct.

Later generations only know that Emperor Sui Yang was an "eternal tyrant", and indeed he single-handedly caused the collapse of the mighty Sui Dynasty. However, many people don't know the achievements of Emperor Sui Yang at all.Regardless of the rest, just "digging the Grand Canal" is more than a meritorious service?

However, it was precisely because of his too strong ability and too tough personality that eventually led to the defeat of Goguryeo in the Sanzheng, which shook the foundation of the country and caused turmoil in the world.

If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty knew how to forbear and forgive, what would be the end of the Sui Dynasty?

It's a pity that history doesn't have what if...

"When the king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, then the ministers regard the emperor as his heart; when the emperor regards his ministers as dogs and horses, the ministers regard the emperor as the people of the country; Take it as a standard."

Li Chengqian put down his teacup, his eyes were burning: "Father was rebellious and seized back then. How many hidden prince's henchmen and many ex-Sui veterans have never openly rebelled, why? It's just because father has a big heart and can tolerate others. Those who once stood against the father from different standpoints, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity of their mistakes to cleanse them, the father entrusted them with heavy responsibilities, and the employers are not suspicious. The root of this. The father is decisive in killing and attacking, but he has a heart of benevolence and forgiveness in his bones. Since the heart of benevolence and forgiveness can create a prosperous age of Zhenguan, why can't I rely on the heart of benevolence and forgiveness to continue the past and continue this glorious prosperity?"

He said that he regards the words of Mencius as his standard, but "the way of benevolence and forgiveness" is the value of Confucius.

Confucius said that benevolence is self-restraint and reverence, and it is also benevolence not to do to others what one does not want to be done to others.He regards "benevolence" as the highest moral principle, moral standard and moral realm, and believes that the most noble person is a tolerant, loving, and kind person.

Extending from "benevolence" to "forgiveness", Zigong asked: "Is there a word that can be followed for life?" "The way of a master is loyalty and forgiveness." "Forgiveness" means benevolence.

Fang Jun pondered for a while, and said: "The heart of benevolence and forgiveness can be kind to the world and accommodate all things. However, this is called the ultimate morality, which is easier to know than practice."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Can it be more difficult than the emperor Gaozu Jinyang raised troops and established the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and can it be more difficult than the father's rebellion to seize and create the prosperity of Zhenguan?"

Fang Jun thought for a while and said, "Everyone has its own merits."

Which one is more difficult?It's hard to comment, but these two not only need their own ability, but also need the general trend and luck. In addition to itself, the "heart of benevolence and forgiveness" also needs to be persevering, and never forget the original intention whenever and wherever.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart."

Fang Jun shook his head and laughed, and asked, "Why does Your Highness have such thoughts?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Even if you are a peddler and a pawn, there is value in it, whether it is selling goods to enrich the people, or earning money to support the family. Gu is also the eldest son of the father and the emperor. As for being useless? So after thinking about it, there are probably some advantages."

Fang Jun said with emotion: "It's not just some advantages? Just the word 'benevolence', if His Highness can carry it out from beginning to end, he will be a wise king through the ages."

Throughout the ages, the emperors do not know how many people there are, but how many people can get a posthumous title of "benevolence" after death?All of them are a generation of Mingjun.

Song Renzong, Ming Renzong, Qing Renzong... well, the last one doesn't count.

No one is amazingly talented and omnipotent.The key is to have self-knowledge, to see clearly one's ability, to find one's own position, and to give full play to one's own advantages in one's own field of expertise, in order to be able to make contributions and realize one's own life value.

In this regard, Li Chengqian did a pretty good job.

Although there was a period of time when I lost myself because of the aggressiveness of my brothers, but fortunately, in this life, I can wake up from the confusion in time and find my unaltered nature. Into a road of no return.

In fact, life is always at a crossroads. At different times and in different places, there will be different choices, which make life have to face various futures.

No one knows the right option, but if you can be kind to yourself and find your own position, you can often realize your own value in the trend of history.

Therefore, times create heroes.

*****
Just as Fang Jun and Li Chengqian were discussing the value of life in the East Palace, the entire Chang'an city was calm on the surface under the suppression of all parties, but in fact, the water was already under the water.

King Jing's Mansion.

Since it was dark, Jing Wang Li Yuanjing has been sitting on pins and needles in the back house, running around like ants on a hot pot.

Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were ordered by the prince to go to Zuo Tunwei to inspect the account books. This news made Li Yuanjing completely lose his usual composure.

Although he has never been considered a steady temperament...

Hearing that Chai Zhewei was begging for mercy everywhere, Li Yuanjing almost went berserk, kicking the coffee table in the hall over, and the tea bowls and saucers shattered all over the floor.

"Mother! Chai Zhewei is a fool? At this time, it is the time when the crown prince wants to stand up. If he wants to find such a chicken to kill the enemy, he can't find it. He has already sent it to the door. Will the crown prince let go? ? If you don’t destroy the account book quickly, you will have a catastrophe sooner or later!”

Dong Mingzhu on the side was as calm as usual, she took a cup of tea with her delicate hands and stuffed it into Li Yuanjing's hands, and said softly, "Your lord need not be so anxious, even though Chai Zhewei panicked, after all, he still has the eyeliner placed by his lord, When it is critical, it will definitely play a role.”

Li Yuanjing's irritable guilty conscience calmed down a little, and he sighed: "I usually see Chai Zhewei is smart and smart, who would have thought that when encountering things, he would be so clueless and stupid?"

Dong Mingyue lightly pressed Li Yuanjing's shoulders, sat him down on a chair, and said with a gentle smile: "How many people in this world are like the prince, who has a chest full of beauty? When you encounter a big event, you get flustered and your judgment is inaccurate." , is really unusual. But since the prince has already laid out the situation many years ago, how can he lose confidence because of some small accidents?"
