Yangzhou's thin horses are well-known throughout the world and are a symbol of Yangzhou's Fengyue culture. Customers are not just salt merchants in this city. From Huguang in the west to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, there are many people who come all the way to buy thin horses. This is an industry in Yangzhou. According to Li
According to the information obtained by the local official, there should be about three to four hundred families in and around Yangzhou who make a living on thin horses.
Yangzhou thin horses have been trained in a targeted way since childhood. There are probably three reasons why they are so popular. One is that they are good at decorating, charming and interesting; the other is that they are taught how to deal with interpersonal relationships, have a gentle temperament, and can be bought back.
The home will not cause internal disputes; thirdly, Xi has a skill that is very practical.
All in all, the Yangzhou thin horse is a good thing, but it should not belong to the emperor... The world is three points bright and full of moonlight, and the other two points are Yangzhou, so Li You stood stunned under the crescent moon for a quarter of an hour.
The emperor gave him a big problem. What was going on?
In his impression, the emperor was a young man who was severely disciplined by his mother and eldest sister. He was very depressed and depressed during his adolescence, but he had no bad habits. Why was he suddenly ordered to risk his life to pay tribute to women? What was the purpose?
If others asked for it, Master Li would definitely spread the news to the whole city when he was in trouble, and then observe the reactions of all parties. But this time he did not dare to spread rumors about the emperor. The consequences would be serious, and he, a local official, could not escape his responsibility no matter what.
Li You was in a dilemma. Eunuch Duan, who was out of the palace to deliver the edict, was also very surprised. He just said to His Majesty, "What your Majesty saw today is that the people's sentiments are true, the words of the businessmen are half true and half false, and the words of the officials are all false." As a result, the emperor
I don't know why, but I asked him to leave the palace to deliver the edict.
After a night and early the next morning, the news had spread throughout the palace, and it immediately became a hot topic among all the people accompanying him. There were different opinions for a while, each with his own reasons.
Some people think that this is the emperor's test for Li You, and Li You's future will be determined by Li You's actions. But what is the correct answer in the emperor's mind? No one can say it with certainty.
If the emperor's purpose is to test whether Li You will obey the imperial edict without principle, then he definitely hopes to see Li You dedicate his beauty to the emperor at the expense of his own reputation. This is a reassuring and reliable minister.
As for public opinion, people are always forgetful of paying attention to hot topics. After surviving the limelight of public opinion, Mr. Li became a good man again eighteen years later.
If Li You resists and disrespects the emperor, he will probably be judged by the emperor as cherishing feathers more than being loyal to the emperor, being pedantic and difficult to use, and his alienation from him will be inevitable in the future. No matter how good Li You's political performance is, he cannot make up for the loss, because he cannot become the emperor.
own people in mind
But the emperor's test is not only the above-mentioned possibilities, but also another possibility. The emperor's purpose may be to test Li You's political character, hoping to see an upright and reliable minister who can entrust state affairs.
So in this situation, if Li You knew that what he was doing was wrong but still unconscionably presented a beauty to the emperor, wouldn't he be regarded as a sycophant who was unprincipled and flattering?
On the contrary, if Li You resists the decree, he will be considered by the emperor as a man of integrity and integrity who can be cultivated in the future.
So, which one is the correct answer depends entirely on whether the emperor's test is public or selfish, or whether the emperor is a wise emperor or a joyful emperor. Otherwise, the same approach will end in completely different ways.
In addition to the "test theory", some people also believe that the emperor clearly wanted to teach Li You a lesson
The political achievements Li You showed yesterday were too perfect and impeccable, and they were so popular that they blatantly suppressed all the emperor's closest officials. He did not follow the principle of "too much is too little" and "a dragon has regrets".
In the eyes of the emperor, Bazheng seemed complacent. After all, the ministers were selected by the emperor. The beating of the dog also depends on the master Li You's unscrupulousness towards the emperor's ministers. To a certain extent, it is disrespectful to the emperor.
Maybe the emperor wanted to show off his imperial power, or maybe the emperor wanted to beat Li You to make him truly successful, so he issued such a confusing imperial edict. No matter what Li You did, he would definitely get into trouble.
The biggest basis for supporting the "lesson theory" is that after yesterday's incident, Li You did not receive any commendation despite his outstanding achievements in governance. This is unusual. The emperor must have planned to teach Li You a lesson first and give him enough
Warning, and observing the effects before deciding on rewards
The knowledge of interpersonal relationships between states and dynasties is extensive and profound, especially between the courts, which is the most profound part of this knowledge. There is a saying that interpersonal relationships have nothing to do with life and death, but interpersonal relationships are higher than life and death.
In this small palace with a radius of more than a hundred feet, in addition to the two mainstream opinions of "test theory" and "lesson theory", there is actually a third theory on this matter, that is, "villain theory"
This theory is relatively simple. In a nutshell, Li You was young and energetic and offended the villains around the emperor. He did not know who was slandered by someone, so he was retaliated and issued such an imperial edict. It was obviously to humiliate Li You.
This "villain theory" was directed at Editor Li Denggao and Eunuch Duan Zhi'en. The story also had noses and eyes. When it reached Editor Li's ears like the truth, he was hit by an arrow while lying down and almost got angry again.
Exploded, I wrote more than a dozen pieces of calligraphy in a row, and then I suppressed it forcibly.
But no matter which theory, they all have one thing in common. They all believe that Li You's performance yesterday must have been too dazzling, which triggered a chain reaction and caused trouble.
However, when everyone in the palace discussed the matter, they discovered a problem. The biggest reason why they had different opinions on this matter was that they did not understand the emperor's true intentions and could only analyze based on guesswork.
No wonder there are so many differences
These character traits of gentleness and softness are the outermost things. What is the inner orientation of the emperor? No one can tell whether he wants to be a pioneering and enterprising hero, or whether he plans to live a life of enjoyment? He admires flattering and obedient ministers.
, or an upright and honest minister?
Everyone found that the emperor they saw was more like a puppet that ran automatically under the framework of rules. Every move could be explained by rules, but it only looked like it in their eyes, and it could not really be a puppet. The emperor has not yet put the puppet into action.
It’s just that your own characteristics are clearly brought out
From this point of view, the fact that Li You was ordered to sacrifice Yangzhou thin horses became a touchstone that could test the emperor's quality. Thinking of this, everyone's attention to this matter increased to another level (unfinished)
