Chapter 1194: The Way of the Most Beautiful Man in the World (25)
So irritating!
You've gone too far, why don't you let him get angry?
He is simply the most useless emperor in history.
"You are all so capable, why bother putting me on the dragon throne! I will give up my throne to you!"
"I don't like being an emperor."
Gu Mo chewed a wolfberry and said, "Being the emperor is so tiring. I won't die if I don't become the emperor. But His Majesty is different. If you don't become the emperor, you will die. If you don't do it well, you will die. So you can only do
Emperor, be an emperor."
Little emperor, "..."
Heartbreaking.
Seeing that he was dying, Gu Mo added: "Your Majesty's status is just like my beauty. When I don't have the strength to protect myself, my beauty is the spice in the place of romance. If I have strength, I can rely on it."
With this face, he will be the icing on the cake, standing high in the temple and guiding the country."
After all, he is a child who grew up in the palace. On the surface, he looks cynical, but in his heart, he is still a bit cynical.
After taking a deep breath, the little emperor calmed down, bowed his hands to Gu Mo, and said through gritted teeth:
"Then please teach me how to be a good emperor."
Gu Mo leaned back with a careless expression and did not respond to the little emperor.
"Actually, being a good emperor is short-lived."
Gu Mo sighed.
"If you want to be a good emperor, you have to make the ministers fear you, make the people love you, and make the traitors fear you and not see through you."
"Originally, I could live to be eighty years old, but because I wanted to be a good person, I managed to live up to a forty-year-old body when I was only twenty-six years old. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been eating wolfberries every day. If Your Majesty wants to be a good person,
The emperor is afraid that his life will be shorter than that of his ministers."
Gu Mo is usually too imposing, carrying wolfberries all day long, just like a veteran cadre, so even though his face looks young, people can forget his true age.
The little emperor also just realized that his teacher was only twenty-six?
The little emperor chirped and said, "If I take good care of my health, my life may not be short."
"Then your Majesty, please eat less sweets."
Little Emperor, "...??"
Are you talking so much just to prevent him from eating sweets?
Gu Mo added: "As long as your Majesty lives long, even if people like Nachen and Huan Da Sima are helpless, you can still survive us."
The little emperor suddenly felt that the sweet pastries in his hands no longer smelled good.
He silently put the pastry down, ran over and grabbed Gu Mo's wolfberry tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I think what Taifu said is reasonable. From today on, I will drink wolfberry tea every day! I want to live a long life, and I will work hard to refine a knife. Just like Taifu, he will kill everyone without letting me go."
The one in my eyes!"
This also includes you, Taifu.
The corners of Gu Mo's mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, the butcher's knife is not meant to kill people just because you want to, especially the butcher's knife in your Majesty's hand. You are the emperor, and you must show kindness and power to your courtiers. You must exercise benevolent government towards the people of the world. You must treat your ministers and people like Huan Da Sima.
Learn to be cowardly and arrogant is useless..."
"In front of you is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Every step you take must be cautious and thoughtful. If you lose once, you will never have a chance to stand up."
Gu Mo talked to the little emperor about the art of checks and balances in the court and the way of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, including the emperors of all dynasties, the biggest enemy has never been the ministers and Huan Da Sima, let alone the aristocratic families and the government, but the people of the world. If the aristocratic families and powerful people rebel, they may not succeed, but if the people of the world rebel,
Whether it succeeds or not, Your Majesty will eventually become a tyrant and incompetent person in the history books..."
"If you want the people not to be rebellious, Your Majesty must satisfy the people's wishes. Compared with the greedy aristocratic nobles, the people are easy to satisfy. As long as you keep them fed and clothed, they will live in their own acre.
If they work diligently on three-thirds of the land, as long as they have no rebellious intentions, there will be no chaos in the world..."
The little emperor retorted, "But it is the aristocratic family that controls the government, and the aristocratic family can also cause chaos in the world!"
The little emperor is only a few years old and has already witnessed several battles between aristocratic families and the royal family.
"In this world, are there more common people or aristocratic families?"
"Of course it's the common people."
"Throughout the ages, most of the uprisings in the history of dynasties were started by the common people, and it was the powerful people who rebelled. What was the excuse? It was to eliminate harm for the people of the world, and to comply with the people's will. And the powerful people can find such excuses,
It also shows the emperor’s incompetence.”
The little emperor understood Gu Mo's words.
The rebellion of the powerful equals the incompetence of the emperor.
Isn't it commonplace for the powerful elites of the Jing Dynasty to rebel?
"You, you say that all my ancestors are incompetent?"
"Your Majesty, this is what you said."
The little emperor immediately covered his mouth and stared at Gu Mo angrily.
Gu Mo continued: "Now the aristocratic families scold me and regard me as a thorn in their side, but the people in the world are praising me for my benevolence and righteousness. If the aristocratic family touches me, the people in the world will be afraid that I will be gone and there will no longer be food for them in the world."
The people who wear their clothes, so whenever a noble family takes action against me, the people of the world will rise up and attack..."
Gu Mo sighed, "Being a human being and being a minister is the pinnacle of what the world can hope for."
Little emperor, "..."
The master seemed to be talking nonsense, but I was speechless.
Gu Mo, "Forget it, Your Majesty, you should read more books. If you read more books, you will naturally be able to see some truth from them."
It was probably because Gu Mo's Versailles inspired the little emperor. After that, the little emperor really started to take care of himself and worked a lot harder.
Gu Mo only saw everything in his eyes.
The little emperor doesn't have much appeal now, but that may not be the case in the future.
In this era where everyone likes to follow fashion, the emperor is also the fashion vane. If the emperor starts to maintain health, will the people below him continue to kowtow to each other?
Although those aristocratic families usually use Wushi Powder as a health care product, how could they not be aware of the harm of Wushi Powder?
Therefore, in addition to the emperor's leading role, before that, Gu Mo also had to use some coercive means to make things like Five Stone Powder completely abandoned by the aristocratic families.
But now that Huan Lin has not come back, it is difficult for her to take action.
These days, Gu Mo focused on teaching the little emperor and did not make any shocking news. The dignitaries in Jiankang City gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Even the most famous Qingtan master in Jiankang City specially sent a message to Gu Mo, inviting Gu Mo to do Qingtan Xuanbian.
Talking is a debate that celebrities of this era were very keen on.
The content of the debates is all relatively advanced and profound abstract philosophy, mainly Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zhouyi and Buddhism.
Talking has high demands on people's knowledge, eloquence and even physical strength.
Because intellectuals in society are keen on talking without paying attention to government affairs, later generations also have a view that talking is harmful to the country.
Regardless of whether it is a mistake or not, the prevalence of free talk has indeed promoted the development of the history of Chinese philosophy.
