Divine Book Era

Chapter 171 Leisure Chess

"Today, it's time for storytelling again!" Princess Jinzhu said.

"Yesterday, I told the story of Yang Jiajiang and Li Ling; today, I told the story of Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui!" Liu Xiu started to tell the story again.

In many cases, only comparison can tell right from wrong.

After a long time, the story was told.

"It's the same surrender, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui is even more unscrupulous and hateful!" Princess Jin Zhu said.

"Times are changing. Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou could not appear in the Han Dynasty; and Yang Silang and Li Ling could not appear in the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Xiu suddenly said, "Do you know the way to destroy a country?"

"The way to destroy the country?" Princess Jin Zhu savored.

"The way to destroy a country is to subjugate soldiers, and to destroy its virtue!" Liu Xiu said leisurely, "The government of a country is based on moral behavior, followed by etiquette, ministers, and kings. To completely destroy a country, you must It's not about how much land you captured; today you Yunmeng captured the four northern states of Dachu, and it may be recovered by our dynasty after a few years; it's not about how many troops you destroyed, even if you killed hundreds of thousands, millions, Years later, another continuous army will be born!"

"If you want to destroy a country, the key is to let the people lose their moral integrity. Specifically, it is to make the king smarter, his officials smarter, the people smarter, and everyone smarter, so the country is gone; simple Generally speaking, the more Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui there are in a country, the easier it is to perish; the more Yang family generals and Li Ling are in a country, the more difficult it is to destroy!"

Princess Jin Zhu's complexion changed slightly.

It is said to be the way of destroying the country, but it is not the way of threat.

It is true that there are still many generals from the Yang family and many Li Lings in Dachu, and it is very difficult to destroy them.

"You have gone on the wrong path. With your talents and studies, you should be a scholar and the number one scholar, but why do you want to go to the border and join the army!" Princess Jinzhu said, "Your martial arts are very poor, but your mouth is very powerful!"

"Haha!" Liu Xiu laughed and said, "If you can't pass the exam, you can only be a soldier!"

"With your talent and learning, it's a bit of a loss to stay in Dachu. It's better to stay in my Yunmeng country. With your talent and learning, you can be the prime minister!" Princess Jinzhu said.

"Forget it. I still have some integrity. I can't be Hong Chengchou, I can't be Wu Sangui, I can't be that lowly!" Liu Xiu shook her head and said, "Forget it. Let me tell stories every day. Other things, just forget it!"

"It's a pity, Chu Youcai, but Yunmeng can't be used for it!" Princess Jinzhu sighed.

"I love my mother country!"

Liu Xiu said firmly.

…………

In this way, Liu Xiu told stories, told stories, and exported culture.

It is another form of transformation!

It is another way to teach the way of governing the country.

This is an era in which Taoism manifests holiness. Powerful immortals can change the world; invincible emperors can tear apart the void and rebuild mountains and rivers;

However, none of this has anything to do with statecraft.

Immortals, saints, great emperors, gods, and gods are immeasurable, but they cannot govern a country well, and it is almost impossible for all living beings to be united.

However, governing the country is another level of cultivation.

Living in the deep mountains, retreating and practicing is just a personal detachment, not only has no merit for the world, but is harmful, so the world sent down all kinds of catastrophes, and counted all the immortals, gods, emperors, etc. like pests, and killed them. Exhausted.

But if it is to govern the country and lead the people to transcend, it will have immeasurable merits and virtues. It can resolve the calamity in the dark, and it can also improve luck and promote the improvement of cultivation.

According to the legend, the human emperor has the strongest cultivation base, suppressing the past and the present, because he comprehended the true meaning of cultivating the Tao from the way of governing the country; the ancient emperors were extremely powerful because they were emperors, and they comprehended the true meaning of cultivating the Tao from the way of governing the country. In the Middle Ages, hundreds of sages fought and suppressed an era, relying on comprehension of the way of governing the country.

Many immortals, mostly participating in the change of dynasty, or entering some dynasties, just want to gain luck and improve their cultivation;
Many gods have participated in the changes of the country, and they have learned the way of governing the country, the changes of dynasties, and the true meaning of the Dao.

Cultivating Taoism to obtain great strength, long life, and self-transcendence are just small ways; but establishing a dynasty and leading the common people to transcend is the great way.

Even if the aptitude is shallow and unable to understand the way of transcendence, establishing a dynasty is equivalent to establishing a powerful force, which can help collect cultivation resources, obtain various cultivation resources, and provide a material basis for the improvement of cultivation.

It's just that there are more storytelling, more cultural output, more brainwashing, and more problems with Princess Jin Zhu.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be perfect, but why would it be even more miserable if the country is subjugated?" Princess Jin Zhu asked.

"It's very simple, too perfect is the biggest imperfection!" Liu Xiu said leisurely, "The way of heaven is still incomplete, how can a country have a perfect law. Perfect American law is like a pool of stagnant water, killing all variables and killing vitality. In stagnant water, it is impossible to feed big fish and prawns. And those seemingly imperfect national laws, of course, have various disadvantages, but the entry of living water from outside brings a little more vitality and a lot of changes!"

"The Song Dynasty had strong trunks and weak branches, and weak places, right?"

Princess Jin Zhu asked again.

"It's not right or wrong, it's just a trade-off!" Liu Xiu said leisurely, "The central government is strong and the local government is weak, so the national power is weak and it is difficult to resist foreign enemies; Weigh it up and find the best balance of interests!"

"Is it better to rule by people, or by law?" Princess Jinzhu asked again.

"The rule of man is conducive to prosperity; the rule of law is conducive to stability. There is no difference between the two changes, and there is no difference between strength and weakness. The rule of law also needs to rely on the rule of man. No matter how good the law is, it needs people to implement it. Good laws will also come to naught. The rule of law only sets the bottom line for the rule of man!"

Talking about the way of governing the country, Liu Xiu smiled wryly.

Not long ago, in front of the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he told Mu Lingxi about the dragon slaying technique and how to rebel; now, in front of the emperor's teacher, he told Princess Jinzhu about the way of governing the country and how to be a good emperor !
This is a move of idle chess!
Life is alive, playing chess constantly, most of the many chess pieces are useless, most of them are idle chess, but as long as there are one or two useful chess pieces, it will be wonderful.

If Princess Jinzhu becomes the future Wu Zetian, Ekaterina II, it will be extremely interesting!
