Li Mu was instilling Chicken Soup for the Soul, and of course he kept pouring it in, turning it into Poison Soup for the Soul.
Psychological chicken soup is mainly motivational and hypnotic, and constantly transforms people into perfect people and saints. It seems beautiful, but it is actually unrealistic.
It's a bit like Neo-Confucianism, which preserves natural principles, eliminates human desires, cultivates virtue, and becomes a saint.
In fact, it’s good to be a human being, don’t be a saint, a perfect person.
A saint is too tired, a perfect person is too miserable.
It is better to use poisonous soup for the soul, which teaches people to give up, learn to compromise, and learn to see reality clearly.
"What would you do if you joined the prince's residence?" the eldest prince suddenly asked.
"If I join the Prince's Mansion, I will advise the Prince to leave the capital, walk more outside, and see more of the outside world. The outside world is very exciting! If you are born in the palace and grow up in the hands of a woman, you will become a waste;
Those teachers in the Prince's Mansion are also unreliable. They have too many private goods. It's okay to taste them once in a while, but eating too much will poison people!"
"What are the responsibilities of those teachers? Their goal is not to train the prince into a promising king, but to train him into a benevolent saint... Only in this way can they be safe and useful. But for all living beings in the world, it is a huge tragedy! All living beings
We don’t need a saint, but we need a promising emperor!”
Many of them were emperors, and most of them grew up among the people, or often hung out outside.
As for those princes who often hang out with the civil servants, they are often failed emperors.
"But if you go outside for a long time and stay at the border for a long time, someone will inevitably slander my father!" said the eldest prince. "Three people become tigers. If time goes by, it will be bad for me!"
"Haha!" Li Mu said with a smile: "Your Highness, why can you become the prince?"
The eldest prince was silent.
Li Mu said: "That's because His Highness is the eldest son and the legitimate son. Whether he is the eldest son or the legitimate son, His Highness has the advantage, so he becomes the crown prince. As for talents, knowledge, character, etc., he is much better than His Highness.
Yes, even among those princes, there are many who are more outstanding than His Highness. But because His Highness’s mother is a queen and he was born early, he became the crown prince!”
"Many times, hard work is not important, moral character is not important, wisdom is not important, reincarnation is the most important. His Highness must be the prince. The emperor may not like it, but he still has to pinch his nose to approve... Because this is a rule, and the emperor cannot break the rules. If the emperor
If you break the rules, your ministers will also break the rules, and the country will inevitably be unstable!"
"Some princes have bad character, are not smart, have average IQ, and do not work hard. They are just average people. But the emperor still chooses them as princes because there is one. He cannot let his nephew or outsider inherit the throne.
!Therefore, reincarnation is the most important!”
The eldest prince was stunned, stunned by the impact of Li Mu's three views.
In the past, teachers said that a prince must be virtuous, talented, etc. But in Li Mu's teaching, talent is not important, moral character is not important, and reincarnation is the most important.
It seems unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Just imagine, if he was born later, he might not have the title of prince; if his mother was not the queen, he would have no hope.
The reason why I can become a prince is because my reincarnation was good and my reincarnation was early.
As for why the position of prince was abolished?
It's because my father is so prolific and has more than a dozen sons. Just imagine, he is the only prince. Even if his life style is problematic, his father can only accept his fate.
It’s not because of the issue of reincarnation!
It was originally a fallacy, and the eldest prince wanted to refute it, but in the end he agreed and felt that he was right.
Li Mu said: "The reason why rumors are so successful is not because the rumors are perfect, but because they are needed and lack a sense of security. So many times, even if they know the rumors are false, they will be half-believed because they would rather believe that they are true than be lucky that they are not.
In case there is..."
"If someone makes slanderous remarks to His Majesty, Your Majesty will not believe it, because distance brings beauty. Those slanderous remarks will aggravate the insecurity!"
The eldest prince fell silent and closed his eyes to think.
Li Mu also stopped and did not continue to instill poisonous chicken soup.
After a long time, the eldest prince said: "After listening to your words, I understand why I became the prince and why I lost my position as prince. If it were you, I might not be able to lose my position as prince. But now, is it too late? Can I regain my position?
Will you seize the position of prince?"
Li Mu was silent for a long time, and then said: "No. It's hard to put a broken mirror back together, and it's hard to heal broken porcelain!"
As he spoke, Li Mu crushed a wine glass and turned it into pieces, saying, "Your Highness, is there a way to heal it?"
The eldest prince looked at the fragments and fell silent.
Even if there are skilled craftsmen who can put broken pieces of porcelain back together, there will still be cracks and imperfections.
"Is there really no other way?" the eldest prince asked unwillingly.
"In life, everything can be shared, but there are only two things that cannot be shared, one is the wife, and the other is power!" Li Mu said: "The most ruthless emperor's family, the emperor must be ruthless. Once the emperor is affectionate, he will kill himself.
It will also kill many people. The estrangement is already there, and we can never go back to the past!"
Life is not rebirth.
The eldest prince said: "The most ruthless imperial family. For the sake of power, my father is like this, and so are my brothers! I hope that the next life will no longer be an imperial family!"
Li Mu laughed: "Your Highness doesn't know the sufferings of the people, so he said such things. The people are busy every day for survival. If they are unlucky, there will be disaster years. They may have to go out to beg for food, and their mothers and sons may starve to death. As for the landlord's home,
We will also be exploited by officials. One bad thing is to confiscate the county magistrate and wipe out the prefect!"
"Your Highness, you were born with rich clothes and fine food, and you are high and mighty. Can it be the same?"
"Common people have the same worries as ordinary people. They worry about having enough to eat three meals a day, not going hungry, and having to accumulate more than ten years of accumulation before marrying a wife for their son. But His Highness is worried about what delicious food should be eaten, what can be eaten well, and what kind of food should be available.
When a beautiful woman comes to sleep with you, which palace should she sleep in?"
"Even if His Highness died, there would be a luxurious mausoleum and luxurious burial objects. But when the common people died, they would just be buried in a coffin and a few rags!"
Constantly instilling poisonous chicken soup, Li Mu said: "If a person lives like this, this life is worth it. Even if he dies, it is still worth it. Before his death, His Highness could say that I have slept with thirty-six beauties and owned dozens of houses.
I have a family fortune of hundreds of thousands of taels, and whether I am famous for eternity or infamy for eternity, my name is in history!"
"But ordinary people would say for a moment that I only have an ugly wife, three thatched houses, less than five taels of silver in savings, no lasting fame, and no lasting infamy. I am just dust, and my name has no place in history!"
