When I was drunk, I read the sword by burning the lamp, and I dreamed about the trumpet blowing company camp.
Qi Dalang was very happy to be able to successfully rescue the emperor, so he drank two glasses of pleasant wine with Li Hongyu after he regained consciousness.
One, it is to welcome the emperor and wash away the dust; second, it is to take this opportunity to talk about some things.
Unexpectedly, the wine turned out to be extremely mellow. After only two ounces of it, I felt a little tipsy.
Under the influence of wine, the two of them started chatting one after another.
"Thank you so much, Shaobao, for your rescue in danger. I feel deeply for this, and I will repay you with a decree and a reward in the future." Li Hongyu bowed slightly and said in a humble manner.
Qi Yu raised his hand and said generously: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. These are what I should do."
After finishing his polite remarks, he then asked: "Has your Majesty reflected on why this personal expedition was a complete failure?"
Li Hongyu's face stiffened, and he said perfunctorily: "For no other reason, it's because the Koreans are so scheming and I was careless about it. I accidentally fell into their trap."
"Is this really the case?"
"You don't think it's appropriate, Shaobao?"
"Well, it's hard to believe that there are many tricks."
Li Hongyu said in astonishment: "Why?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said: "The military game is originally a contest of intrigues and deceptions. The real and the false are everywhere! Anyone who is a commander must have an insight into the details and distinguish the true from the false. Only in this way can he be able to strategize and stand firm.
In an invincible position. If you don't have such ability yourself, you can reuse relevant capable people to assist you. In this way, you can also lead the overall situation."
As soon as the words changed, he said seriously: "However, Your Majesty, you abandoned the tiger general Qi Jing and used Wang Zhifan and San Dezi instead. It is strange that these mediocre people can win the battle!"
These words were extremely explicit and without any euphemism. Every sentence hit Li Hongyu's pain point.
No face was spared at all.
Li Hongyu never expected that Qi Yu would dare to accuse him face to face.
Where is the power of God?
Therefore, he said rather unhappily: "Shaobao, are you questioning me?"
However, Qi Yu did not answer directly, but made an insinuation and said: "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan" that if you know your mistakes and correct them, you will do a lot of good. If you don't correct your mistakes if you know them, you will do a lot of harm. Your Majesty is familiar with ancient and modern classics, so what?
How can you not understand this?"
He also gave his own reasons as to why he was 'offended': "As the young guardian of the country, I am in charge of assisting the emperor, managing yin and yang, and promoting the country. How can I sit idly by and refuse to correct any injustice?
"
Qi Dalang was not angry at first, but when he saw that he was avoiding the important and taking the easy, without any intention of repenting, he couldn't help but become angry.
You were captured by the enemy, why don't you repent?
This is a matter of attitude and must be corrected.
If it is because of face, there is no guarantee that it will happen again in the future.
If he accepts this, he can successfully establish a correction mechanism to correct the traditional bad government and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
In short, establish an error correction mechanism.
This is what Qi Yu wants most.
Naturally, Li Hongyu didn't know what he was thinking, but he still defended himself: "Shaobao's words are indeed reasonable, but they are a bit unfair to me. Who among the commanders doesn't want to defeat the enemy and win? Which one dares to fail?
The strength of the humerus and buttocks? To correct my mistake, there is no basis for it. As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Isn’t it enough to pay more attention to it in the future? "
Hearing this, Qi Yu wanted to give him a slap in the face.
But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but analyze it again.
It is not difficult to see through Shicai that the little emperor is not only obsessed with saving face, but also somewhat stubborn.
It is estimated that this has something to do with Su Liu's long-term guidance and education.
The emperor is the ruler of the country and has a high status. With such the highest authority, how can he bow his head and admit his mistakes?
Through empathy, Qi Yu quickly figured out the logic.
If Li Hongyu publicly admits his mistake, his "image of God" will be seriously challenged. He may even fall from the altar as a result.
In that case, his authority will be seriously challenged.
This is the art of the emperor and is not difficult to understand.
However, this is the core of bad governance and the main stumbling block in the historical process.
Without bringing down the emperor from the altar, society cannot make substantial progress.
And Qi Yu just wants to be this egg that breaks the stone.
Even if you can't smash the chronic disease, you still have to use your own brokenness to stir up an ear-splitting sound to wake up the world.
However, it is better to take this matter slowly than to rush it, and step-by-step guidance is the best policy.
You must know that Su Liu's brainwashing education cannot be transferred back in a few words.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu changed his original strategy, from reasoning to being persuasive.
So, he took the initiative to find a way for Li Hongyu to step down: "As for the gains and losses in the war, your Majesty may wish to think slowly. There is really no need to arbitrarily close the coffin and make hasty conclusions."
After saying that, he changed the topic and said, "I wonder, did your Majesty have any insights while he was in prison?"
Feelings?
Don't tell me, it's really a little bit like that.
Li Hongyu sighed quietly and said: "While I was in prison, I tried grinding and farming successively. The hard work was unforgettable. From this, it is not difficult to see that the people at the bottom of Dafeng are not as hard as they imagined.
Easy. Only by working hard and competing with the world for their lives can they obtain the food they need to survive."
"Huh?...Hmm!" Qi Yu was startled when he heard this, and then he nodded happily.
Just now, he was still dissatisfied with Li Hongyu's insistence on saving face, but after hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Although this child's temperament is stubborn, it is not hopeless.
His heart is still simple, and as long as he is guided in the right way, he can be transformed into a true moral king.
"Your Majesty cares about the people. It is a great blessing for me to serve the people!"
"Shaobao has been over-reputed. Compared with your 'people-oriented' approach, there is still a long way to go. I have decided that after returning to the court, I will further reduce taxes and fees for the people to make their lives easier."
Some."
Want to go back to the DPRK?
No hurries!
Hearing this, Qi Dalang quickly shook his head and said: "There are still important things to take care of at the moment. After everything is settled, it will not be too late for us to talk about returning to the court."
"Is it important? What is it?" Li Hongyu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said: "It happens that my daughter is coming out of the palace. Your Majesty, why don't you have a glass of wedding wine before leaving?"
What does this mean... to stay in Mobei first?
This... okay.
Li Hongyu's face froze, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
For now, he really has no right to choose and can only passively listen.
