Children should not be shown too much about human nature, because human nature is not always "good", and is accompanied by "evil". Although the two are accompanied by each other, they can also be converted into each other.
The evil you do to your enemies is a good to yourself, and the evil you do to some people may be a good to more people.
But it takes great courage to show the truest side of people's hearts, especially in front of a young official like Zhao Zhen. Neither Lan Jizong, Liu E, nor Sun Shi, Wang Yuan and others had any intention of doing so.
Show the evil in human nature to Zhao Zhen now.
This is not in line with Confucianism, nor is it in line with the traditional Chinese way of educating children.
Ye An thought for a long time and still felt that there was no need to break this tradition and show Liu E's selfish desires and evil. Everyone has selfish desires, and even Ye An himself is no exception to this.
He doesn't want to use himself as a moral high ground to criticize other people's behavior, but he also doesn't want others to do the same.
Lan Jizong's eyes were already very evil. If Ye An dared to tell Liu E's purpose of resurrecting Wang Qinruo, he would definitely retaliate. In his mind, the official family was the supreme being and the most sacred person in the world.
, when the world should be governed with benevolence and filial piety, how can it be tainted by various fights and tactics in the court?
Zhao Zhen was still young, so Ye An just found an excuse to send him away, but he also planted a seed of curiosity in the young official's heart.
"Old Lan, I think you are wrong. In fact, it is good for the officials to understand some human nature and some things in the court. Although he is still a child in your eyes, ordinary people's children are almost here.
It’s time to get married and have children.”
"How can the emperor be like the common people?!"
Ye An looked at Lan Jizong who was a little angry and smiled slightly: "This is extraordinary! What the emperor wants to face and bear is too heavy. The whole world, the country of Zhao and Song Dynasty are all pressing on him...
"
Following Ye An's words, Lan Jizong, who was walking in front, suddenly stood up and looked at the oncoming palace officials. After they crossed their arms and bowed and left, they turned to stare at Ye An and said, "It's because of this that the officials want to
Teach them with benevolence! If the fights in the court and various ugly methods are shown to the officials too early, the officials' minds will inevitably be shaken. This is what Mr. Jiujing and Mr. Yuanbo are most worried about, and it is also their final
The reason why I agree with Wang Qinruo’s suggestion! Do you think the saint has not consulted the two gentlemen?”
Now Ye An was stunned. He didn't expect Sun Shi and Wang Yuan to actually agree to Wang Qinruo's proposal. Just when he was stunned, Lan Jizong said again: "The country rules the world with filial piety. If the officials know the saint's
Means... How to see the saint? How to think? How to figure it out?! Why did the saint want to resurrect Wang Qinruo? You don’t know?!"
He is worthy of being a follower of three generations of emperors! Ye An sighed slightly: "That's true. This is also the reason why I haven't revealed the key points. But temporarily not exposing it does not mean that I will never expose it. If the officials can't see those things now,
What will happen if you suddenly see the things one day in the future? It is better to let the officials understand the things in the court step by step. Although I do not participate in the battles in the court, I can see them clearly, right?"
Ye An understands Lan Jizong's mood, but who is Zhao Zhen? Today's emperor, the official family of the Song Dynasty, has to face not only internal conflicts, but also powerful external threats.
What are you talking about about youth and benevolence at this time? When his mother's enemies arrive at the gates of Tokyo, when Emperor Huiqin is led away like livestock, you will know what benevolence is!
Fixed thoughts are difficult to break, but Ye An has to patiently dig a hole in the solid "high wall".
The ancestors of the Han family have never been able to unify and govern the world solely by relying on benevolence. If this were the case, there would be no need to promote or promote benevolence and Confucianism.
Why should we advocate it and why should we learn it? Because that’s all!
What Ye An brought to the Song Dynasty was not Confucianism, but Gwu, and it was not conservative ideas, but a kind of jungle law. He wanted to slowly instill these things into Zhao Zhen's head.
Looking at Lan Jizong, then at Sun Xi, Wang Yuan, and even Yan Shu and others, Ye An suddenly understood why Zhao Zhen was called Emperor Renzong.
The Han dynasty was often a "sage on the outside and king on the inside". It treated foreign barbarians with the teachings and benevolence of a saint, but treated its own people as kings and hegemons.
Why is this? Isn’t it because the people follow Confucianism and follow Confucian ways, which is easy to deal with?
In Ye An's view, being an external king and an internal sage is the way to go. Your own strength poses a threat to the enemy at all times, you treat the people favorably, establish a country by law, rule the country by law, and allow the people to obtain the greatest prosperity within the rules and framework. This is
This is what a country should be like.
Both Ye An and Qin Mumu have experienced that era, which may not be the pinnacle of Chinese civilization, but it is the most beautiful era.
In the Funing Hall, Liu E looked at the note in her hand, her eyes exuding a kind of dissatisfied anger. She did not expect that Ye An would dare to touch on what she had done while teaching the officials, even if she did not expose it.
But even touching the edge is never allowed.
Chen Tong was already trembling. He could feel the turbulence beneath the saint's calmness. Although he was still young, Chen Tong, who had served in the palace for many years, could clearly feel the changes deep within the Tian family.
Liu E held the note in her hand. The edge of the note had been pinched and deformed. She looked at Chen Tong who was standing and said, "What did the official say?"
"The officials didn't say much."
Naturally, he would not say anything if he did not understand the key points, but Liu E knew that with Zhao Zhen's intelligence, he should be able to see through the problems. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Go and invite the official to come over, and I will discuss the pros and cons with him in detail."
!”
Chen Tong was slightly stunned. He knew that neither Lan Jizong nor Ye An nor the saint in front of him wanted the officials to know the whole story, but why did the saint's attitude change so suddenly?
"My slave obeys the order!"
After Chen Tong left, Liu E stood up and tore the paper in his hand into pieces. Most people couldn't understand what happened in the court, and even among the courtiers there were many who didn't understand.
But not only did Ye An understand it, he also saw his own intentions!
Liu E stared at the fragments on the ground, and said to the palace maid who was already worshiping in fear: "Sweep it all, and don't leave even a piece behind!"
Although Ye An didn't say it, he must have known it from his attitude, but he not only kept the officials vague, but also let the officials think and figure it out. This is not what a minister should do.
What does Lan Jizong, an old killer, do for a living? Only by taking the initiative to solve this problem in the minds of the officials can the gap between "mother and son" be eliminated. Otherwise, once the officials think deeply about themselves, they will be dissatisfied with themselves.
produce dissatisfaction.
Liu E doesn't like Zhao Zhen's independent thinking very much now, because he can't guess. The less he can guess, the more uneasy Liu E feels...
