"How to distinguish talents?" asked Master Zhao.

Since ancient times, China has talked about the rule of man, and this distinction is extremely important.

Moreover, the so-called art of regulating ministers and controlling people that Wang Ju began to talk about is to recognize people.

Even Zhao Xu outside the window was curious and listened.

Wang Ju said: "Your Highness, it is relatively easier to distinguish his talents than to look at people's nature."

Indeed, it is really difficult to see through a person, and a person's mind is constantly changing with the changes in the environment and experience.

"Your Highness, the reason why it is easy is thanks to the two ancestors. It is because they introduced the system of investigation and distinguishing the ministers' ability."

“Why?”

"Your Highness, can ordinary low-level officials be quickly transferred?"

"It's hard." Zhao Zhong replied immediately, indicating that this young man's qualifications are indeed very good. Mediocre officials can also get on top, but they can only get a job, so it will be very slow.

"The officials who can be quickly promoted all have some outstanding performances. Of course, some officials cannot count on the slanting paths such as flattery and honesty. However, the officials who are normally promoted must have some special political achievements, such as loving the people, establishing education, moral education, economy, military, farmland and water conservancy, or other things. Then the court deliberately transferred them to officials in their good performance to serve as officials, and it can be seen whether he is truly good at this aspect, and it is also a process of further investigation."

"In this way, the country will gain talents from all aspects, and then put them in a suitable position based on their talents, and all aspects will be greatly cured."

If there are great governance in all aspects, the country will undoubtedly have great governance.

"It's still very difficult..."

"That's of course. It's very difficult for a parent to make the whole family harmonious and prosperous. Besides, the Song Dynasty was a master of 20 million small families. Your Highness, this is not something you can think about for the time being. I will talk about the way of Emperor Gaozu of Han to control people."

Not only did Liu Bang's skills in controlling people, but this lecture also talked a lot.

He even analyzed Liu Bang's character. If you read historical books, Liu Bang seemed to be useless. When he was young, he was a local gangster. When he was fighting for the dominance of the world with Xiang Yu, he even wanted his father, wife and children. He became emperor and killed meritorious officials, and even suspicious of Xiao He's right-hand man.

But is it true?

If Liu Bang was useless, why did the Lu family marry his daughter to him? When the uprising was rebelled, why did so many villagers support him and respond to him, and so many people follow him?

If it was really cruel and ruthless, why could the Han Dynasty succeed in establishing a country and become a model of internal governance in feudal countries for a long time? Moreover, in just over a hundred years, the population at the peak of the Western Han Dynasty might have exceeded the population of Tianbao?

In fact, it is not cruel, but the decisiveness of those who do big things.

Of course, this was an extremely important history in the early Western Han Dynasty. Not only was Liu Bang's character and way of controlling people, but other aspects were also very important.

So Wang Ju analyzed this history from many aspects, such as the military, population, composition of all strata, agriculture, technology, and economy at that time.

As Zhao Xu listened outside the window, he felt that many aspects were suddenly enlightened.

"Your Highness, that's all for today." Wang Judao.

Wang Ju walked out.

Zhao Xu had no time to avoid it, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Wang Qing, I have come a long time ago. I was just fascinated by it."

What should I do? I can’t be an emperor who loves to lie.

"Your Majesty praised it."

"You should write history books."

This is not a mockery of Wang Ju. Those who were able to participate in the study of history in ancient times showed the rulers' recognition of the writing style of the writers.

And this sentence is also from Zhao Xu's heart.

"Zizhi Tongjian" is indeed good. But Zhao Xu always feels something is wrong, it is not the long section of the minister Guang said...

After listening to Wang Jukai's speech, he suddenly realized.

There is a simple example, such as the Anshi Rebellion. If you look at Zizhi, there is only one. Li Longji is incompetent, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong are the two treacherous ministers who are in trouble.

In fact, it is wrong to say this.

The real reason for the Anshi Rebellion was the expansion of the population during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the local equal-field system (although the Tang Dynasty implemented the equal-field system, but not all this system was implemented) and it also completely collapsed. The collapse of the equal-field system led to the corruption of the domestic military system.

There was no more cultivated land, so how could the soldiers in the palace have the intention to fight? But in order to open the border, Li Longji had to set up a vassal state. With the vassal state, there was a soil for An Lushan to rebel.

But I can't imagine it in Zizhili.

Of course, Sima Guang is good at making power and tricks, which is not good in other aspects. Even if he writes, he can't write well. But in other words, if Sima Guang really wrote this, how long would this book last?

Therefore, as a textbook, whether written or fluent, Zizhi is above the twenty-four histories. However, as a true reference for rulers or material books studied by historians, it is not as good as the twenty-four histories.

At least in Zhao Xu's mind, Zizhi did record almost all major events, but only records, or there were some analysis, but these analysis seemed to be right or wrong, or did not analyze them clearly at all.

That's why this sentence comes about.

Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, I will start the lecture selectively, such as the Western Han Dynasty. In the next lecture, I will talk to Your Highness about the rebellion of the Seven Kings."

"Huh?" Zhao Xu was puzzled, because there was also the dictatorship of the Lü family, and the rule of Wen and Jing.

"Your Majesty, I use history to describe the present, and only choose some more representative historical events to talk about. The reason why I chose the rebellion of the Seven Kings is to focus on analyzing the distribution of rights."

“Distribution of rights?”

"With the Han Dynasty's system not being perfected, Emperor Gaozu of Han had to use the kings of the same surname to assist the royal family, which caused the rebellion of the seven kings. However, the kings of the same surname were reduced, and everyone thought that they had made progress, and the relatives of the outside world came again. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only the relatives of the outside world came, but even the eunuchs came."

But China has not solved this problem well since ancient times. It is not only the imperial system, but also the harm brought by the centralization of power and the official position. Once you become an official, you have Audi, your three-mistress, your money, and your villa...

However, it cannot be said that the centralization system is not good. If a clean government can be guaranteed, then the centralized system has its own efficiency and policy consistency than the decentralized system. However, this system is more harmful under the ancient imperial system and rights are more difficult to allocate.

But I won’t talk about the following kinds of kings.

"This is indeed a saying."

"Then I will talk about Emperor Wu of Han, who abolished hundreds of schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and whether his opening of the border, and whether Sang Hongyang was a merit or a fault. The fourth lecture was about Huo Guang and Emperor Xuan of Han. He mainly talked about the powerful ministers' understanding of advance and retreat, as well as the poverty of Emperor Xuan of Han, and the impact on his future. He may even dare to use His Majesty's life experience as an example. The fifth lecture was about Wang Mang, not Wang Mang's rebellion. Instead, he talked about why he launched a new policy. The right or wrong of these new policies. In fact, from the current perspective, many new policies are correct. Of course, he made mistakes in the mistakes that he usurped the throne and rebelled against the minister, and the new policy was too urgent. Therefore, this urgent measure is also the aspect that the fifth lecture focused on."

"Can I listen?" Zhao Xu became even more interested in this statement.

"Your Majesty is a king, and the minister is a minister. I am a minister. What's wrong with your highness listening? Secondly, I have limited energy. I am an auxiliary position, and the chief position is still the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Government affairs should be given priority. Even if I have time to study history books. Even if I reach the other side, I will not study history books, but should study mathematics carefully. However, if Your Majesty thinks it is very important. After I arrive at the other side, I can further restrain myself and select more than 100 major events from all dynasties. Do in-depth analysis. Then let the envoy take it back to the capital and let Your Majesty read it with you. Your Majesty, I am still a minister of the Song Dynasty when I go to the other side..."

"Wang Qing, I am still the same one."

"I know, but Your Majesty should also see the importance of this mathematics. I also want to open a family." Wang Ju said that he wanted to be one of the hundreds of scholars of various schools, but the hundreds of scholars of various schools did not mean that it was Confucius. Confucius was a saint, but Mo Zi and Xunzi were not saints. It was not considered a vain to be a hundred scholars of various schools with Wang Ju's status and influence, so Wang Ju said nakedly.

"Prince," Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Prince, have you taken a huge advantage to the king."

"I am ashamed of you, but I am indeed one of the people of Your Majesty." Wang Ju said, bowing to say goodbye.

Zhao Xu walked in and asked his son: "Master, do you understand?"

"Some places, my ministers don't understand."

In fact, Wang Ju tried his best to analyze the profoundest truth in the simplest language, but Zhao Zhong was finally young.

Zhao Xu touched his son's head. This was not what Wang Ju thought. In fact, Zhao Xu stopped drinking and often ate some fruits under Wang Ju's insistence. In addition, the country was getting better and better, and his mood was relaxing. This continued his life, but overall, his body continued to deteriorate.

But Master Zhao is still very young, so what Zhao Xu thinks now is that he hopes that his son can grow up quickly.

Of course, if Zhao Xu could live for more than ten years, Zhao's maid would become stronger and stronger at that time, which would be another mood.

"Master, when you listen carefully, Wang Taibao spoke with his heart," Zhao Xu turned to the eunuch serving next to him and said, "Record everything that Taibao said just now."

Even I feel that I have benefited a lot, let alone my son.

What Wang Ju said must be recorded and will be read frequently in the future.

A few days later, Wang Ju talked about the rebellion of the Seven Kings again.

The more Zhao Xu listened, the more magic he felt, so in the third lecture, Zhao Xu invited some important officials to Erying Pavilion.

Wang Ju expressed a headache.

In fact, he talked about these things not only to use the past to describe the present, but actually what he said is how to be an outstanding monarch. It is the way of a king, not the way of a minister. What did you invite these big men to do?

Wang Ju had no choice but to bow to everyone.

Then I found a brush and wrote a few lines of strange words. This was not the weird font written by Wang Ju when he deliberately cultivated Xiao Su's calligraphy, which was to broaden Xiao Su's ideas or Da Su's future.

They are indeed strange words, and then Wang Ju put down his pen and said, "Why has Chinese civilization always been ahead of the world? The people are hardworking and wise, and the legacy left by their ancestors. This legacy is not only the pioneering roads, water conservancy, but also other words, such as texts. Look at these words again, they are foreign words, also called alphabetical texts. What wisdom does this kind of text have?"

Later generations of the Celestial Empire were relatively backward, and the world closed it down. It would even prefer that the factory went bankrupt than export high-tech products to the Celestial Empire.

Therefore, a large group of public intellectuals and people who admire foreign countries and fascinate foreign countries were produced.

As long as it is foreign, it is good, even if the moon is foreign, it is also a foreign circle, and even the ancestors' culture is ridiculed.

It is necessary to learn advanced knowledge, but falling into this misunderstanding is not only related to national integrity, but also a big mistake.

For example, Chinese painting has such beautiful artistic conception, or lacks realistic, realistic. Go take a photo!

For example, flower arrangement, Western flower arrangement is a piece of paper together, but Chinese flower arrangement, every flower and leaf, is a beautiful picture.

There is also this text. There is a cold joke that foreign graduate students are still memorizing words. It is impossible not to memorize them. But as long as Chinese people remember the common four or five thousand Chinese characters, they can compete all over the world.

Chinese characters are not only convenient and efficient, but also can be called a very intelligent character. For example, grass, and golden grass are the pattern of a dog tail grass. For example, when you see this character, you will know that the grass and trees are yellow. If you change to other characters, will it have this effect?

And a lot of other advantages.

Wang Ju gave some examples and said, "So we must respect our ancestors, but what does respect mean? It is not burning incense to worship. If that happens, the ancestors will be so angry that they can't close their eyes. If they want to respect their ancestors, the best way is to dare to surpass them and use any means to make this country and the nation become more and more prosperous and the people's lives become more and more stable. That is the respect for our ancestors. Okay, I will talk about the Three Kingdoms for you."

"Didn't you talk about Emperor Wu of Han?" Zhao Xu asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, come and listen, I will start the lecture more selectively." Wang Ju said.

If you want to talk about Emperor Wu of Han, the first thing you cannot avoid is to talk about opening the border, but in Wang Ju's mind, Emperor Wu of Han might have suffered a lot in order to open the border, but it was worth it. Therefore, the entire nation took the Han as its name and could be called Han as its name, and it would not be connected with Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Wen and Jing of Han. In fact, it is the national self-confidence cultivated by Emperor Wu of Han. But this article will be controversial if it is said in the weak Song Dynasty court.
