The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 529 No Regrets (Fourth Update)
"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao nodded hurriedly when she heard the words, "The acquisition of power is nothing more than top-down, or bottom-up." Bright black eyes looked at him and said, "When power is given to someone At that time, correspondingly, certain responsibilities and goals were given.”

"Being an official will benefit one side and let the common people live a better life." Shen Zhouheng said while looking at her with calm eyes.

"Yes!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him tenderly and said, "With great power comes great responsibility! Like you, you have to find a way to make their lives better for the [-] people in the town who are carrying their livelihoods on your shoulders. At least I don’t go hungry, and I have clothes to wear, so the whole family can’t make up enough clothes to go out.”

"Yeah!" Shen Zhou nodded lightly.

"If it's a top-down authorization, it's an extension of Shangfeng's will and purpose, giving him the power to do things." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with dark eyes and said, "It's specific to you..."

"Let the people feel concretely that the emperor cares about them, and feel the great grace of the emperor." Shen Zhouheng said as it should.

Qi Yaoyao was taken aback when she heard the words, then smiled and nodded, "That's right!"

It's the same in ancient and modern times, credit is given to you, if you do well, it's because of your leadership, and if you don't do well, it's because of your lack of ability.

The credit belongs to the leader, and the mistakes belong to oneself. Monarchs and ministers are different, so you must not steal the limelight from the leader.

This kid is also well versed in the rules of officialdom.

Qi Yaoyao looked at Shen Zhouheng with pearl-like eyes and said, "The centralization of power from the bottom up represents the interests of the general public. The true meaning of giving power is not to let you take it for yourself after it is given to you." , but for a certain purpose to let you do things on your behalf, and it will eventually be taken back.”

Looking at him with treacherous eyes, he said, "If the people can't survive, they will use drastic means to pull the emperor down."

Shen Zhouheng shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, "You! So even if you are an emperor, you don't have the right to do whatever you want."

"That's right." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with agile black eyes and said, "Power is a very subjective thing. His existence is based on the common consciousness that being an official should be the decision of the people. When most people think you can do something, You have power."

"Speaking of this, I just remembered that before I went to the canal last year, I was still worried. In the past two years, I have been exempted from taxes, and I have made money again. I have a lot of money. Much more." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with a moved expression and said, "One sentence, we will do it with you, almost didn't make me cry."

"The county magistrate has them in his heart, so he naturally supports you and is willing to follow you!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him tenderly and said, "Otherwise, no matter how famous you are, the common consciousness of most people often creates It can be said that any power basically comes from the system, that is, the aspiration of the people. As a person who holds power, maintaining the stability of the system is actually maintaining the legitimacy of his own power. Any behavior that destroys the system, even if it is in line with Self-interest will eventually damage one's own power. The existence of institutional rules ensures the interests of the vast majority of people, and anyone who dares to violate or destroy the system will eventually suffer backlash."

Shen Zhouheng nodded thoughtfully, somewhat understanding the bottom-up reason.

"Standing in a high position requires restraining one's desires, and you will not be yourself." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with deep eyes and said, "If you want to look forward to Shu, people's desires will continue to expand with the satisfaction of desires, and they will also be accompanied by abilities and strengths." Expand and swell. Empowerment accelerates the process.

Once desire swells to the red line on the edge of power, the situation becomes delicate.On the one hand, continue to indulge, the satisfaction of desire will bring infinite pleasure.On the other hand, breaking through the boundaries of power and bottoming out the rules is equivalent to breaking the rules.

Restraining desires is to avoid self-destruction of the system and lead to backlash, and it will inevitably bring inner resentment and even loss of interests.

But from a higher dimension and the perspective of power, this kind of restraint is precisely the result that is most in line with the overall interests of the individual.Hold power, big or small, and be in awe.It is not easy to come by, so use it with caution. "

Shen Zhou stood up and said, "I'm going to write a letter now."

"I really want to write!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him worriedly and said.

"Of course, I don't want Mr. Shoufu, who is dedicated to serving the people, to be criticized to the point of using your head to die." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with deep and honest eyes and said.

"You wrote it, what if people don't adopt it?" Qi Yaoyao took his hand and said.

"If you don't use it, then don't use it! But I hope you don't feel ashamed." Shen Zhouheng looked at him calmly and said.

"If they adopt it, I'll make you a target!" Qi Yaoyao said while looking at him with frosty black eyes.

"I'm the target?" Shen Zhouheng blinked his eyes and looked at it intently.

"That's right! I'll let you preside over this errand. During the rectification of the officials, they will be promoted quickly." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with eyes as black as ink and said.

"No." Shen Zhouheng said with a chuckle.

"Why?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him in surprise and asked.

"Because I'm a son-in-law!" Shen Zhouheng looked at her with a grin and said, "It's impossible to entrust such an important job to me, even if I dare to accept it, he wouldn't dare to promote me!"

"Princesses of the Han and Tang Dynasties can be recorded in the history books because they are linked to the court and have relatively great power. They are active in the temple or go to get married. For example, Princess Guantao and Princess Xijun in the Han Dynasty, and Princess Xijun in the Tang Dynasty. Princess Pingyangzhao, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Taiping, Princess Anle, and Princess Wencheng." Shen Zhouheng looked at her who had been raising her head, sat down again and said, "Princesses in this dynasty mainly marry the sons of powerful people, so the son-in-law is absolutely If you marry a poor family who passed the imperial examination, the official rank will be empty, or you will stay away from the temple and go to another country."

"Then you still agreed at the beginning." Qi Yaoyao said while looking at him with round eyes.

"Yaoyao, do I have the right to refuse?" Shen Zhou looked at her with eyes like glass beads and said, holding her hand gently, "I'm very glad that I agreed." Lovely and gentle.

"Don't you regret it?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with clear eyes and said.

"I don't regret it." Shen Zhouheng looked at her affectionately and said, "You have to know that I am the number one scholar. Difficult."

"Who said that your talent is not inferior to theirs, so don't belittle yourself." Qi Yaoyao immediately complained.

"Am I as good as you said?" Shen Zhouheng smiled naively when he heard the words.

"It's not bad to keep up with my thinking." Qi Yaoyao said smugly, stroking her forehead, so that she was suspected of cheating.
