Chapter 789: The Servant of Fate(2/2)
"Father, how about Jia Changchao and Chen Zhizhong?"
"Master. The two of them have a little bad ethics, but they are very talented." Zhao Xu replied.
"Ethics are important, or is it important?"
"Your Highness," Wang Ju replied on behalf of Zhao Xu below: "Sima Guang once said that virtue is greater than talent, but a gentleman. If you can use it, talent is greater than virtue, but a villain cannot use it. Only half of it, and a serious mistake was made. In fact, Lu Yijian is similar to Chen Zhizhong, Jia Changchao and others. They are all ministers with talent and slightly poor moral integrity. But why did Renzong repeatedly use Lu Yijian? It is best for people with talent and virtue, but how many such people can be? Even if Fan Wenzheng,
Only by being loyal to the country can you be good, but can you be the prime minister? Therefore, the state’s employment of people is actually more talent than virtue. As long as you have talent, even if your ethics are a little lacking, the problem is not big. But there is one thing, you cannot have a non-trivial heart. As long as you are loyal to the country, even if you make mistakes in ethics, the country can demote it. If you use it, you can use it again. However, with ethics, you will not be able to use it. Just like my mentor, his ethics can be said to be of few people, so why don’t you recommend it to Your Majesty? It’s not enough.”
"This is our dynasty, and the four great wise ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Du Yao Tang, Yao Chong, and Yao Chong are also not good at ethics. They are selfish, have deep scheming, and have a little hypocrisy. However, why can they be listed as one of the four great wise ministers to make up for it! There is another best example at present, such as the minister, whose ethics are worse than those of Lu Yijian and Yao Chong, why does Your Majesty continue to reuse it? Because this also has an important premise. The country can tolerate its lack of ethics, but it cannot tolerate it not serving the country. Or, like the current Duke Wen, who has talent and even fame, is devoted to selfishness and does not think about the country, so the court cannot reuse it."
"Taibao, the public is in front and the private is in back?"
“That’s right.”
Several prime ministers raised their heads together.
Wang Ju has explained so clearly and understood it, it is not surprising that he has understood it, but don’t forget that Zhao Jiao only has a ten-year-old child!
Wang Ju also looked at Zhui Zhao.
The first five sons of Zhao Xu were named Zhao Qi, Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun, Zhao Shen, and Zhao Xu. They all had good names, but they all died early. So they gave Zhao Zhui a bad name, servant, and servant, and they really survived.
However, Wang Ju saw the pain of fate in the entire Song Dynasty from Zhao Zhui.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Kuangyin's talent is not as good as Chai Rong, but it is not bad. However, because he was put on the throne by the imperial robe, he was not at ease with military generals and civil officials, so he played a balance between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Pu continued to play, and Zhao Kuangyin visited Zhao Yanmei three times, and Zhao Kuangyi was not a good character to mess with. He had been played by his elder brother for so many years, so how could he not be anxious? So the axe was shining...
Everyone laughed at Zhao Kuangyi, but in fact, Zhao Kuangyi cannot be underestimated. In fact, the various systems of the Song Dynasty were actually improved by Zhao Kuangyi, except for the system set by Chai Rong, which was perfected by Zhao Kuangyi. Therefore, there was the richest dynasty in history. It was a little weaker in military terms, but it was also stronger than ordinary emperors. Otherwise, how could the troops not be scattered, take back Wu Yue and Min, and then personally take down the Northern Han? But the sad thing was that he met Xiao Yanyan, Han Derang and Yelu Xiuge, the strongest three-horse in the history of the Liao Kingdom!
Not only that, there is also the disaster left by Zhao Kuangyin, that is, Cao Bin and Cao Bin pacify the south of the Yangtze River. If it were not for Pan Mei's help in the early and late stages, Liu Yu and Wang Ming fought desperately at the Wanjiangkou, but I still don't know what to do. The only thing that can be done is not to kill people, but is this effective against the Liao Kingdom? Zhao Kuangyin must have known. But in order to suppress the heroes, he exaggerated Cao Bin's military achievements. Why don't I use the person I valued by the elder brother? Well, Qigou Pass is here!
Next is Emperor Zhenzong of Song. In fact, Emperor Zhenzong of Song in the morning dynasty was really eye-catching, but the Chanyuan Alliance came and the whole country was depressed!
When it comes to Emperor Renzong of Song, not to mention Emperor Renzong of Song, but none of his sons have to live. He got a Emperor Yingzong of Song came up...
Zhao Xu came, but in fact, the contradiction gradually weakened after Xining's reform. However, Zhao Xu wanted to manage Xixia. If it were not for the purpose of managing Xixia, he would further correct the side of making money in the reform, then the Yuanyou party struggle? In turn, Xixia did not fight, and he was anxious to deteriorate and died young.
Then came Zhao's servant. In fact, in terms of talent, Zhao's servant was only slightly inferior to Li Longji when he was young, and was slightly stronger than Emperor Xuan of Han of the same age. However, under the joint efforts of Gao Taotao and Xiao Cheng, he was weak and died in his twenties.
A talented man came to power...
Thinking of this, Wang Ju said, "Your Highness, you are very familiar with the Analects of Confucius. You should remember this paragraph. Weishengmu and Master had a conversation with Master. Weishengmu asked Master. Qiu, what is the dweller? No one is the slander. Master said, "You are not daring to be a slander. It is a stalwart. Confucius, why are you running around like this? I just want to show your sweet words? Master said, I dare not speak smart, but just hate those stubborn people. He also said, "What is the praise of the Thousand Mile Horse? It is not its strength, but its character. Weishengmu is very moved, saying, "What is the way to repay grievances with virtue? The Master immediately corrects the Tao, how to repay grievances with righteousness, and repay grievances with virtue. If so, what is used to repay grievances? Therefore, the correct way is to repay grievances with righteousness and repay grievances with kindness."
"Here, the Master focuses on distinguishing between straightness and virtue. So what is straightness? Many people say that my ministers are small-minded and will revenge them. If they do not use selfishness, do not intend to distort black and white, and criticize some of their practices, even if they are wrong, they will respond with patient explanation. However, if they ignore the country, ignore the overall situation, and attack them with selfishness, they will deal with him seriously. This is to repay grudges with straightness. This straightness is still a kind of mean."
"Mean?"
"It is the doctrine of the mean, just like Renzong. Life is simple, which is a good phenomenon, and it is also the origin of his posthumous title of Ren. However, when he sacrifices himself to feed a tiger, it is not called benevolence, but a demon! Or, because all dynasties have taken Confucianism as the core idea, Buddhism is only the result of education, which is the difference. Or, if this is simple, life can be simple, but you must eat enough, and you must not be picky about food, so that you can have a balanced nutrition and healthy body. Clothes do not need to be gorgeous, but they must be evenly cold and warm, so that you will not get sick. Especially as a monarch, the country needs a simple monarch to set an example, but also a healthy monarch to govern the country!"
"When it comes to movement and stillness, when it is extremely moving, thinking about stillness, and thinking about moving at all, it is not only a human nature, but also a need for physical health. If you are overworked, you will not live long. If you sit still all day, your body will not be healthy either."
"Your Majesty, please remember it carefully." Cai Qi said immediately.
This little prince looks really good, but he is too thin.
Wang Ju intentionally said it to the emperor.
In fact, many people in history don’t understand why Cai Que ignored the risks and wanted to make Zhao Hao the new king?
He didn't want to help Zhao Hao get to power and seek wealth and glory, or he had this idea. He was also a great minister at that time, and he could exchange for so much glory and glory.
The main reason is the same as Wang Ju, who is worried that Gao Taotao will hit the reform when he comes to power.
As a result, Zhang Dun, who was more brave and insidious, not only did not cooperate, but instead sang a rebellious act. Yuanyou's party struggle came...
Zhao Xu's face also changed. He recruited a eunuch not far away and asked in a very low voice: "How much does the servant eat every day?"
The eunuch replied, "Your Highness has a poor appetite."
The prime ministers behind did not hear it, but Wang Ju heard it in front of him, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is the responsibility of the minister."
Wang Ju will soon go to Shaanxi, and will leave the Song Dynasty in three years. Therefore, Wang Ju does not need to avoid suspicion too much, and no one will think too much.
Then let's break up.
When Zhao Xu was about to order everyone to retreat, Han Zhen walked out and said in a slogan: "Northwest, Northwest..."
