Chapter 0073 There are monarchs like Yao and Shun, and there will be subjects like Yao and Shun
Zhu Youxiao frowned: "So, they know my identity and are they deliberately trying to show off in front of me?"
Zhang Haogu nodded: "That's right!"
Zhu Youxiao took a breath, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Master, this is not good!"
"Why is it bad?" Zhang Haogu asked.
Zhu Youxiao said seriously: "They are not doing this out of sincerity. They are not really doing things for the people, they are doing it for me!"
"Your Majesty, I have a question for you!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "Whether they are sincere or hypocritical, are they serious about doing things for the people? Are the people who ultimately benefit from it?"
"this……"
Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.
What Zhang Haogu said seems to be correct.
Regardless of whether they are sincere or hypocritical, at the very least, they are doing their jobs seriously, and it seems that it is these people who really benefited in the end.
"It seems that the people can really benefit!" Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, and then asked seriously: "But they are deceiving me. Their benevolence towards the people is all fake, and it is only like this in the capital now.
, if they leave and I can’t see them, what will happen to them?”
"The emperor is the emperor!"
Zhang Haogu continued: "But you know, the four words "advantage and deed"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Of course I know, what does the master mean?"
Zhang Haogu said: "In the past, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty installed a large pool in the palace, and the pool was filled with fine wine. The pool was so big that people could swim in it. If they wanted to drink, just scoop out a bowl of wine and drink it.
.And the Meat Forest kills all the hunted animals and hangs them on the trees after cutting them. How much does the emperor think this will cost?"
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and looked at Zhang Haogu strangely: "Master said it, it doesn't cost much!"
"However, the wine pond and the meat forest indicate an attitude, indicating that King Zhou needs this kind of luxurious life!"
Zhang Haogu spoke slowly: "As a king, when King Zhou starts to covet a luxurious life, his ministers will imitate the king!"
"The emperor is extravagant, and his officials will follow suit. Officials will always want to please the emperor. But if the reverse is true, if the emperor wants to be lighthearted about corvee work, not pursue luxury, and is willing to recuperate and recuperate with the people, then the officials should also behave well!
"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned.
This was the first time he had heard of this theory.
He pondered for a moment and then continued: "Master, what you mean is that if I am a sage emperor, then my ministers will also be famous ministers and good ministers?"
Zhang Haogu nodded: "That's right, Your Majesty. During my reign, Emperor Taizu Gao dealt with the "Hu Weiyong Case", the "Kongyin Case" and the "Guo Huan Case" successively. Every time a major case arose,
There were tens of thousands of people involved. Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao couldn't stand it and advised Taizu Emperor Gao not to kill anyone again."
Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Haogu changed the topic to Zhu Yuanzhang again, and then curiously asked: "What happened next?"
Although there are actual records of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not go to read the actual records of the Ming Dynasty after he is full.
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Taizu asked someone to bring a stick with thorns and threw it in front of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao and asked him to pick it up. Zhu Biao refused. Taizu said that this stick was the imperial power.
, what he does is to remove the thorns from the stick so that Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao can better inherit the Ming Dynasty!"
Nowadays, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao talk a lot, and their relationship is both a teacher and a friend.
In front of Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu made some harmless little jokes about Zhu Yuanzhang more than once or twice. Zhu Youxiao didn't mind either, and sometimes he found them quite interesting.
Hearing Zhang Haogu's suspense, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became curious: "Then, how did Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao answer?"
"Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao said that only if there are monarchs like Yao and Shun, there will be subjects like Yao and Shun." Zhang Haogu said with a smile.
Zhu Youxiao was silent, and after a while he said with great seriousness: "I do think that if Prince Yiwen really becomes the emperor, it will definitely not be too bad!"
Zhang Haogu smiled, saluted Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, I also hope that you can be a monarch like Yao and Shun!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"I will try my best to do it!" Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "You are the emperor. As long as you have a heart of compassion for the people and think about the people in everything, maybe we will make mistakes. However, making mistakes is not terrible. The fear is that we don't know why we made mistakes. Yao and Shun were not born
Even if they are respected by others, they will make mistakes, but they know what it means to correct their mistakes when they know they are wrong, so they can become holy masters, and I think that the emperor must be able to become a monarch like Yao and Shun!"
"Do you think I can do it?" Zhu Youxiao was a little unsure.
"Of course, the emperor is the smartest person I have ever seen. The most important thing is that the emperor has a heart of compassion for the people. In all dynasties, no emperor is willing to repair the houses of the people. So far, the emperor has surpassed all the emperors in the past and present.
Ninety-percent monarch!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.
"Hehe, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that!" Zhu Youxiao smiled a little shyly.
Zhang Haogu also knew that the little emperor had low self-confidence, so he had to praise him for nothing to increase his self-confidence.
"Back to business!"
Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, since Cui Chengxiu wants to take over the three main halls, we will take out this model and give it to Cui Chengxiu and ask him to come up with a quotation. The wood is readily available in the palace. It is a labor cost. Let's
Cui Chengxiu comes to unify a quotation, and then you can give him one of the three major projects first, and after it is completed, you can give him the other two sieges!!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "This is a good idea, but I originally planned to use these wood to repair private houses!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Cui's words are very reasonable. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If we can solve everything, it will only temporarily make them deprived of food and clothing."
Worry, this won't work in the long run. Thirdly, the wood in the three main halls is all high-quality wood. For the people, what they need is definitely not high-quality wood, but a small wooden house that can protect them from wind and rain!"
