Chapter 1198 1198 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Just as the prince said, Mr. Ji's existence is to make decisions and make decisions, and there is no need for him to do specific things. The prince's subordinates are full of talented people, and those who are better than Mr. Ji can be caught.
Just a big handful, and...
The prince's army has its own set of rules. These rules are deeply engraved in the hearts of those people. They do not need the prince to watch, they will follow them spontaneously. At most, Mr. Ji can supervise them to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes.
Or don't follow the rules.
You must know that there is no perfect system in this world. No matter how perfect the system is, there will always be things that are unexpected or missed. These require people's consciousness.
What's more, no matter how perfect the system is, it can't stop people with malicious intentions. Lord Ji's existence is to prevent people from having evil intentions.
Lord Ji didn't understand it at first, but when he saw that there was no need for him to say anything or do anything, the group of veterans left behind by the prince had settled the people in the city one by one without any mistakes, then he understood why the prince was relieved.
I left such a big stall to him.
The prince has formulated the most perfect system for them. Unless he is hopelessly stupid or wants to gain power, a literate and sensible child can still get things done in his position.
After all, his existence is to choose one from various feasible options after something happens, or nod or shake his head. There is really no high requirement.
"If Tianqi does this, even if the emperor is less talented, Tianqi will have no worries." It doesn't matter if the emperor can't do it. As long as the system is perfect and everything is done according to the rules, this country will not make big mistakes, but...
Mr. Ji understands that no matter how easy and practical this system is, no matter how useful it is to make the country rich and powerful, the emperor will not use it because...
This system, this set of rules, this system of the prince has greatly weakened the existence of the emperor and also greatly weakened the imperial power. Even the rights of officials are not great.
Because if everything is done according to the rules and everything is done according to the system, there will be less room for human manipulation.
This system is beneficial to both the country and the people, but it is extremely detrimental to those in power. Only people like the prince who are not greedy for power will use such a system.
"No matter how good the system is, it can't be used without good people. You think too highly of the emperor. Seeing that the emperor is eager to come back when he sees the prince taking the capital back, you should understand what kind of person the emperor is." The veteran who was left behind by the prince,
He said with a look of disdain, and his words contained contempt for Emperor Tianqi.
Lord Ji was silent for a moment, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, only a wry smile...
The emperor is a person who puts more emphasis on individual interests than the overall situation. Let alone allocating power to the people below him, even if the prince has made greater contributions in Yanbei and has more soldiers, the emperor is very cautious and wants to get back the military power in the hands of the prince.
Completely disregarding the safety of the border.
How could such a monarch who focused on immediate interests and disregarded the long-term future of the country allow the people below to share his rights?
The group of people left behind by the prince were very capable of doing things. In just five days, they registered the people in the imperial city who wanted to go with them.
A full 90% of the people who are willing to leave the imperial city and have left their hometowns to follow the prince. The remaining 10% are those who have followed the emperor and fled to the south. They have become quite powerful and stayed in the capital.
, it’s better than nothing, just follow the prince’s people, okay?
Moreover, nine of the ten houses in the imperial city are empty, so whoever occupies the real estate in the city belongs to whom?
People like them who have lived in the Imperial City all their lives know how high the housing prices in the Imperial City are.
To put it further, even if the emperor comes back and they cannot rely on him and gain power, King Yanbei will not be able to come back after he ascends the throne. They occupy the land. Can King Yanbei drive them away?
The remaining adults basically have some small calculation of one kind or another. Not to mention the veterans and generals left behind by the prince, even Lord Ji can tell their plans from their performance...
"Shallow and ignorant, short-sighted." Mr. Ji shook his head and did not persuade, because those who wanted to stay were the Ji family members.
At first, after he lost power, life for the Ji family was difficult, but when the emperor fled to the south, one of the Ji family members joined the emperor and became more powerful.
After receiving the news, the remaining tribesmen wanted to wait in the capital for the emperor's return so that they could resume their original glorious life.
Mr. Ji could only smile at the naive thoughts of the Ji clan members...
Those who have registered to leave can choose to stay, but those who have not been registered and want to go with them after changing their minds cannot do so.
On the day when the army set out, some people chose to stay, while others regretted and wanted to follow the army, but it was too late.
Once you have made a choice, you must be responsible for your choice and bear the corresponding consequences.
"Let's go!" Mr. Ji was protected by the army in the middle. He looked at the army behind him and the civilians who were also protected by the army. For some reason, his nose became sour and tears fell...
He has been a national advisor in Tianqi for decades. Although he has never left the imperial city, he still knows how the people of Tianqi live.
With the King of Yanbei guarding Yanbei, Nanjiang and Beichen did not dare to act rashly. Tianwu itself was not stable and did not dare to do anything to Tianqi. The people of Tianqi lived a pretty good life, but...
No matter how good it is, when people encounter disasters or wars, there will be no army to protect them when they move. Even if the army allows them to follow, they can only follow the army. The army will not slow down for them, let alone...
When in danger, be the first to protect them.
He thought that this was how it should be. It was the same in the four countries, and the army of the previous dynasty also did this. The army ate the royal food and worked for the emperor. They had to march and go to the front line. How could they waste time for ordinary people?
You know, if they are delayed on the road for one more day, the front line will be in more danger, and they will waste one more day of food on the road, but...
When he saw the prince's soldiers protecting the ordinary people, when he saw the prince's soldiers pushing carriages for the ordinary people, when he saw the prince's soldiers slowing down the pace of the ordinary people, he felt like crying for no reason...
He thought, this is what soldiers should do.
Defending the country is not just as simple as protecting the territory. Defending the country should protect the people behind them from persecution by other countries and from persecution by their own people.
The prince's soldiers accomplished this.
In these troubled times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Who else in the world is qualified to sit in this world besides the prince? (To be continued)
