"Don't bother cooking small delicacies, don't bother running a big country..." The two bachelors repeated a few words, and looked at King Run taking out a small fish, their eyes widened.
The original sentence of this sentence should come from Laozi's masterpiece, "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."
If these words were said by King Duan, King Kang or King Huai, although they would be surprised, they would not be so shocked.
After all, the three of them are one of the three princes whom His Majesty stayed in the capital to personally train. They are the best among all the princes and received the best education from the royal family.
But the one who said these words just now was the eleven-year-old King Run.
The two bachelors are usually responsible for the lessons of the princes, and they know their abilities very clearly. Although His Highness Prince Run is not a naughty one, he never studies hard and does not even recognize the words. When did he secretly read it?
As Prince Run's mentors, the two of them were even sure that His Highness Prince Run could not even recognize the words "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."
To be able to say "Don't disturb small things while cooking, don't disturb a big country" is not just as simple as reading the Tao Te Ching. It requires reading it into your heart. You also need to have a certain ability to connect it with the principles of governing a country.
superior.
Emperor Chen's eyes were even more incredible. He looked at the two bachelors and asked: "My dear friends, did you teach what King Run just said?"
The two of them shook their heads quickly and said, "Your Majesty, we have never taught His Highness Prince Run."
Emperor Chen still didn't believe it. Several emperors of the Chen Kingdom all advocated reform. When the throne came to his hands, he also followed the example of the previous emperor and vigorously advocated reform. In the early days of his reign, he carried out many reforms, but he went through many stumbling blocks.
He has been in power for many years and has gone through many twists and turns before finally realizing the truth that "the people should not be troubled". Such a way of governing the country was actually explained by his eleven-year-old son with the help of a few small fishes...
If he had realized this truth in his early years and abandoned those measures that disturbed the people in pursuit of quick success and instant benefits, Chen Guo's national strength would have at least reached a higher level today.
A trace of doubt appeared on Chen Huang's face, and he asked: "Yuan'er, who taught you that sentence just now?"
If it weren't for the teachings of the two great bachelors, he would have doubted the intentions of the people behind it.
"No one taught me..." Zhao Yuan had finished eating the last fish and said, "I heard it myself today."
"Where did you hear it?"
"I heard what the man who saved my concubine said." Zhao Yuan looked aggrieved and said: "Father, he didn't even let me eat the assorted pots, and that beautiful sister even scared me to drop my bowl. Let the imperial chef
Can you do it for me again..."
Emperor Chen then remembered that last time Tang Ning saved Concubine Shu, he had agreed to Prince Run's request to come to the door in person to express his gratitude yesterday. Although Prince Run was young, he was stubborn and knew that it was a good thing to be grateful. However, among them,
Apparently something happened that he didn't know about.
Chen Huang looked out the door and said: "Ling Yun, come in."
Ling Yun strode into the palace, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Tell me exactly what happened when you and Yuan'er went out today."
After Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, he nodded and told everything that happened today.
After a while, Chen Huang's expression softened and he asked, "Did Yuan'er hear it while he was discussing strategies with others?"
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."
"Yuan'er doesn't like reading the most on weekdays, but he is actually interested in these things?" Chen Huang seemed to have remembered something, and asked again: "He let Yuan'er eat outside?"
The expression on Ling Yun's face was a little helpless, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, Tang Jieyuan originally did not intend to give food to Prince Run, but His Highness Prince Run..."
Zhao Yuan looked up at Chen Huang and said sadly while making gestures: "He only gave me half a bowl. The bowl was so small that I dropped it before I could drink the soup..."
Emperor Chen understood what Ling Yun meant without hearing what he said, and felt helpless. Although the other princes and princesses were naughty, none of them were as greedy as him.
There seems to be no one in the clan named Zhao who is like him.
Emperor Chen touched his head and said, "Father, I will ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you again later."
Zhao Yuan immediately beamed.
Chen Huang looked at Ling Yun again and asked: "Do you still remember what they said at that time?"
Ling Yun thought for a while and said: "I only remember that Tang Jieyuan once said that governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, and cooking small delicacies must not be disturbed. To govern a big country, do not be troublesome, because trouble will make people work hard, and trouble will cause fish to collapse..."
"Trouble will make people tired, and disturbance will cause the fish to collapse..." In the hall, an old man thought carefully and nodded: "Although this idea is novel, but if you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable. It is a pity that the ancients did not cook fish the same way.
Otherwise, this sentence would not have been controversial for so long."
Another old man pondered for a while before speaking: "Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies. Although this sentence can be understood as everything is indispensable and everything must be done in moderation, this Tang Jieyuan's explanation seems to be the most consistent with Lao Tzu.
"Governing by doing nothing", if his interpretation is thrown out, it will definitely attract countless approval..."
The old man beside him saluted Emperor Chen and said: "Last year, when several policy papers caused disputes between the DPRK and China, I noticed this person. At that time, I only thought that he focused on practical strategies. I didn't expect that he also had such a high level of knowledge in governing the country.
"Yan, now it seems that this is the true talent of the country who has a deep understanding of the country."
"Although this man is young, he is indeed very talented. One policy statement saved the national treasury millions of dollars. Unexpectedly, he is also very knowledgeable about the strategy of governing the country." Chen Huang wiped Zhao Yuan's mouth and asked: "Governing the country is about
It's like cooking a small fish, does Yuan'er think this is right?"
King Run nodded sharply and said: "Yes, let me tell you why the fried fish in the imperial dining room always had its head and tail cut off before. It turns out that they don't understand this truth. This time it is much more delicious..."
Emperor Chen smiled, and after a moment, he looked down and said: "The three adult princes, Prince Duan, Prince Kang, and Prince Huai, as princes, only know how to fight for power and gain. They are not as good as a child, passing on my will and letting them each."
Face the wall for three days and meditate on your past!”
When he looked at King Run, his eyes became soft and a little regretful. Although Yuan'er was young and greedy, he had a pure heart and could be cultivated. Unfortunately, he was still a little too young.
After a while, Chen Huang breathed a long sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "What is the assorted pot that Yuan'er is talking about?"
Zhao Yuan said with some show off: "Just put everything together and cook it. My father has never eaten it, right? It's very delicious..."
Chen Huang smiled and said: "Then Father will have a good taste soon..."
…
Before Tang Yaojing came to the capital, all Tang Ning had to do every day was to exchange ideas with Li Tianlan and occasionally play cards with Su Mei to relax.
After Tang Yaojing came to the capital, she could no longer do these things as she pleased.
The provincial examination is approaching, so he should seize the time to review, but for this provincial examination, he actually has nothing to prepare for.
There was no need to think about the first session. He memorized things by rote. He had already memorized all the books. Unless there was a clerical error, there would be no problems.
There is no need to prepare the poems for the second scene.
As for the strategy for the third game, he has read all the books available on the market, including,,..., and so on.
Unlike others, he will not forget what he has seen, so he does not need to review it.
In addition, he also has a real champion who provides personal training every day, so now, he no longer needs to spend too much effort on this.
It was Tang Yaojing's first time in the capital, and Tang Ning had arrived a few days earlier than her. She had nothing to do, so the escort job of accompanying her to eat, drink and go shopping fell on him.
