Chapter 74
Zhao Zhen's legs were trembling, and he was supported by two small yellow doors and returned to his seat. He sat down and just gasped. The eunuch on the side saw that it was not a road, so he hurriedly took the ice and wrapped it up and placed it on Zhao Zhen's forehead.
Xu Ping walked forward lightly and asked in a low voice: "Is Your Majesty good?"
Zhao Zhen sighed softly: "If the weather is so hot, I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore."
Xu Ping looked up at the sky and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor and is blessed by God. Seeing that clouds come from the sky, covering the scorching sun, and wind blowing again, unlike as we could have been killed just now. The border general who saw him below will be given a banquet after seeing him."
Zhao Zhen was weak and just nodded. He gasped for a while, took the iced sour plum soup, but kept drinking it.
Xu Ping replied, and Chen Zhizhong whispered: "My husband, look at the face of the official family, his legs are trembling, and he can't stand it. If one is not good, the official family will fall on the stage of the general, and the official team will be afraid that the audience will talk to the whole world."
Xu Ping nodded silently and said nothing. Zhao Zhen’s body was really in trouble, so he naturally could not escape responsibility. All kinds of accusations were probably coming. But so what? Today, the beginning and the end of the battle will disappoint the soldiers of Hebei, and many things will be difficult to do later. Climbing up to meet the subjects is the emperor’s most important responsibility. Zhao Zhen can’t be a deserter.
Inherited from the Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing for the emperor in China's traditional political system is the role of rituals. He has his own ministers when dealing with political affairs. He only needs to choose good people and follow etiquette to complete various rituals. Even if he is as strong as Qin Shihuang, he will still hand over political affairs to the prime minister and minister, and he is just participating in decision-making.
The role of rituals cannot be underestimated. At first, it was naturally out of awe of the heavens. The emperor participated sincerely. Even if the destiny of heaven disappeared from politics later, it also had a powerful role in uniting people's hearts. The respectful participation of the emperor in these rituals itself shows respect for the regime system, so that subjects can respect the regime's system. Although there are always people who are self-reliant and smart, pointing fingers in the crowd and telling others not to take this kind of thing seriously, the people on the stage are deceiving the people. But as long as the ruler is sincere and the subjects are not blind, of course it can be seen whether they should take it seriously.
The emperor's wisdom and martial arts were not that important. Xu Ping had a trend in his previous life, and he liked to call this emperor and that emperor in history, and described it as if he was all wise and wise, and controlled the government in the midst of the ups and downs. It seemed that he could be considered wise. In fact, it was not the case. Emperors who played power often lost the hearts of the subjects. Without human hearts, no intelligence, power and conspiracy was useless. The emperors in the early Qing Dynasty who liked to manipulate power most, although some people brag about it to be a prosperous era and an emperor of the ages, what did they look like? The people were not stupid, and they soon became disloyal. An ancient civilization of thousands of years, and in just two hundred years, the people in the world were all like walking corpses.
If you have bad intentions, power is a joke. The emperor is also a human being. If you really think that you are a god, no one will accompany you to madness.
When politics reaches a certain level, it essentially studies human nature. What people are. People understand nature and form a scientific system, which is part of civilization. People know themselves and their nature are also part of civilization. Politicians must have their own understanding of human nature. If they cannot reach this point, they are just politicians.
Xu Ping was appointed as the prime minister with great achievements, and power was useless to him. Whether in the court or in the wild, he had already written this history. Now he is in the prime minister, what Xu Ping should take seriously is the hearts of the people and the temperament of the people of the world. This time, Zhao Zhen met all the generals outside the Daming Mansion, which was to capture the hearts of the Hebei imperial guards. This was not an act, because whether it was the emperor or Xu Ping and other ministers on the stage, they played themselves and were extremely devout to this ceremony.
Xu Ping was a human being in his two lives and had a different understanding of human nature than others. Some of the human nature is natural, such as seeking profit and avoiding harm, and wanting to satisfy physical desires. But there is another part that is shaped by society, based on the experience of each person and the civilized memory of ancestors. Under certain conditions, the acquired human nature will restrain the innate temperament. The acquired part is always changing, which is the internal need for the interaction between the regime and the people under his rule.
In the reform of the imperial guards, the system change is just a means. The most fundamental thing is to shape the army's different temperament from before. In the past, the imperial guards had no money, and the king of heaven could not let them go to war. It only depends on the system to which year and month it took? In the past, the imperial guards had to rely on strict punishments and laws, otherwise they would run away if they could. How many years would the system take to make them dare to fight and fight?
From the time Zhao Zhen brought his ministers to Daming Mansion, every move was part of the reform of the Imperial Army. Only when people gathered their hearts could the system reform have an effect, otherwise the new system would cause a lot of rebound.
It is not easy to win people's hearts! In previous years, there were always smart people who analyzed the big people in history, and used small favors or tricks to make their subordinates loyally follow them. Only after facing them did they know that it was just a guess, and people's hearts were not so easy to buy. If you think it was easy, you could start a small company and a small business and try it. If you want it to be effective, it was nothing more than that of your subordinates. It would be better to find a group of fools.
Seeing Sang Yi and Jingtai coming from a distance with a dozen generals and rolling over and dismounting, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Sang Yi is the backbone of the entire Hebei imperial guards, so after seeing him at the end, today's ceremony came to an end.
Xu Ping and his ministers stood behind Zhao Zhen, and suddenly found Zhao Zhen shaking and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
His heart tightened, and Xu Ping gently moved forward, stood behind Zhao Zhen, and supported his falling body.
Zhao Zhen turned his head gently, and saw that it was Xu Ping, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Prime Minister, it's really hard, I can't stand it anymore."
"I have seen General Sang and given a banquet to all the generals. Today, the task will be completed. When Your Majesty is in the hot summer, he will definitely be recorded in history and passed down to future generations. Only when the soldiers see the heavenly face and use their lives faithfully can they become an invincible army!"
Xu Ping said as he used force on his hands and slowly helped Zhao Zhen up.
The several priests behind him were sweating when they saw that Zhao Zhen’s face was pale and bloody at all. Xu Ping was also nervous. Zhao Zhen’s body was really worried, for fear that if he tilted his head and lie here, things would be difficult to deal with.
Zhao Zhen let out a light breath, gritted his teeth, slowly stood firm, and looked up at the soldiers in the stands.
At this moment, cheers came from the audience, and the generals crossed their hands to salute, shouting long live the mountain.
The soldiers below the stage saw these small movements on the stage. Although they didn't know the truth, Zhao Zhen could not hold on. When Zhao Zhen fell backwards and Xu Ping helped him up from behind, everyone's hearts were raised, not knowing what would happen later. When Zhao Zhen stood up and opened his arms to the audience, the hearts gathered all of a sudden.
All kinds of ceremonial wars, drums and music, solemn generals and generals were all for this moment, so that the generals below could see the emperor's heartfelt condolences to them. Everyone felt that today's purpose was achieved.
"Give a banquet" to the end of his strength, Zhao Zhen can only say these two words.
As Xuanzan official passed on Zhao Zhen's words one by one, he shouted long live the audience again.
Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Ping whispered beside him: "Zi Lu Zhi Pu, asked Confucius. Zi said, "You can be respectful and respectful, and you can be brave. Is this what you mean?"
Zhao Zhen nodded, deeply in agreement. Respectful, these three words are difficult, and they cannot be pretended. Only by expressing them from the heart and letting the warriors see them can they gain their support. With this foundation, and with a suitable system, select qualified talents,
