Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 302: Take Root Among The People And Introduce The Emperor’S Retirement System [Please Subscr

“The so-called empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous!”

"If you want to govern a country well, your highnesses must first understand the country."

"It's not just a superficial understanding on paper, it's a practical understanding of all aspects of this country."

"From the administrative procedures, governance methods, and governance concepts of civil and military officials to the three meals a day, food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the common people, we need to understand clearly!"

"As long as you understand them comprehensively from all aspects, your highnesses will not be deceived by others.

"At the same time, your highnesses will also know what the people need most, what this country needs most, and what your highnesses need to do most!!"

"If your highnesses keep sitting in the temple, you will be too far away from the people."

"But if you are too far away from the people, it will be difficult to hear their voices, and it will be easy not to treat the people as human beings!!!"

"For example, when your highnesses see the memorial presented below that says, 'There is great hunger and people eat each other, will there be any feeling in your heart?!!"

"To be fair, your highnesses should not be too touched. The only thought in your highnesses' minds is probably that the famine is serious and that warehouses need to be opened immediately for disaster relief."

"But how serious it is and how miserable it is, your highnesses don't know. Even your highnesses can't imagine it, even to the best of your imagination."

17 "Of course, your highnesses will not be able to sympathize with them, and it will be even more difficult to truly value the people who suffered tragic deaths due to famine."

"So what your highnesses may do is just give strict orders and order local officials to do disaster relief work, and then nothing more."

"Or if there is still famine disaster information coming in, it means that the previous officials were not doing their job well, so we just need to replace a group of officials and continue the disaster relief."

"No matter how many people die because of this, to your highnesses, they are just cold numbers, not living people!"

"However, if the emperor or the civil and military officials do not treat the common people as human beings, the common people will often no longer regard the emperor as the emperor, nor will they regard the civil and military officials as their parents.

"At that time, it will be time for the country and the country to be in turmoil and for the people to rise up and rebel!!!"

“However, if His Majesty saw ‘people are eating each other when they are hungry’, then it is estimated that His Majesty would immediately think of the human tragedy of ‘exchanging children and eating’!!!”

"And the miserable images of the people lying on the roadside one after another, eating Guanyin soil, with big stomachs full of indigestion, eyes wide open, unwilling to die!!!"

"Even the other people who are still alive are like ferocious demons fighting over each other to eat the corpses of the dead, which is a hellish scene!!!"

"Because His Majesty has truly come from beggars and refugees, and he has seen all these tragedies, so what Your Majesty will do when the time comes is to make every effort to give relief to disasters as the first priority!!!"

"And this is the biggest difference between your highnesses and your majesty!"

"So if your highnesses want to become a holy emperor like your majesty, or even become a more outstanding emperor than your majesty."

"Then we must come from the common people, go to the common people, and take root among the common people!"

"Reduced my status to be a common people's county magistrate, to be a common people's prefecture, to be a common people's prefect, to be a common people's chief envoy."

"Similarly, only by contacting them in person can your highnesses have a concrete and real impression of them, and can you truly treat them as living people with joys, sorrows and joys, rather than cold words. Or numbers!!!”

"In this way, when your Royal Highnesses are dealing with national affairs, they will be able to know whether every decision they make falls on the heads of the most ordinary people. For them, it is as important as a stone of Mt. Tai. !”

"It's also the only time when your highnesses supervise the country and assist in government affairs, or when it's time to govern the world."

"Only in this way can we truly solve the people's needs, appease the people's needs, and secure the people's wishes, truly govern for the public and serve the people, truly lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity and development, and create a prosperous future belonging to the Ming Dynasty!!" "

"As long as your highnesses are truly willing to do this, and achieve great results."

"Then your highnesses can use your achievements far beyond those of other princes to tell your majesty that you are the most suitable candidate to become the next generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty!!!"

"In this way, the most 'virtuous' and most capable prince can be selected from all the virtuous princes to succeed the Ming Dynasty as the next emperor!!!"

In almost one breath, Yan Changqing explained all his thoughts about selecting a worthy successor and the reason why the prince went to the county.

These words, like those of Huang Zhongdalu, shook the minds of Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.

Such words have never been said before!

And this method of selecting a prince has never been done before!

For a time, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc., they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After quite a while, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Yan Changqing with a solemn expression and asked:

"Why did the original emperor abdicate and become Emperor Taishang?!!"

Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, do you think the prince always waits until the emperor dies before he succeeds to the throne? Is this really good?!!"

"You know, everyone will grow old and everyone will die."

"Once people age or are on the verge of death, they often become dull and immoral because they are afraid of old age and death."

"For example, the famous examples are Emperor Qin, Wu of Han, and Zong of Tang. Their achievements are enough to be called one emperor through the ages."

"But when they were old, they were no longer the wise and powerful warriors they were in their prime. Instead, they began to place their hopes on the immortality of ghosts and gods.'

"It's not scary for an old man to put his hope in the immortality of ghosts and gods, and it doesn't have much impact."

"But if this old man is an emperor, then when he places his hopes on the immortality of ghosts and gods, it will inevitably affect the normal development of the country!"

"As the saying goes, what is good from above will be effective below. When the emperor is obsessed with the immortality of ghosts and gods."

"So how many of the civil and military officials in the court, as well as local officials and subordinates, can concentrate on doing things for the country and the people?!!"

"Secondly, when a person gets old, his energy will decrease, his judgment ability will decrease, his decision-making ability and other abilities will decrease significantly."

"This will lead to him being very likely to make some wrong judgments and choices in national political affairs."

"When an emperor makes wrong judgments and choices on major national affairs, the damage and impact on the country is difficult to estimate."

"Thirdly, after the original emperor abdicates, he can, as Emperor Taishang, help the next emperor on his horse and give him a ride."

"You know, generally speaking, when the prince just succeeds to the throne as the emperor, it is the time when the emperor's personal prestige is the lowest and his control over the court is the weakest."

"Even Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the ages, had to endure it for several years before he truly regained his power."

"But if after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, Emperor Taishang will use his own prestige to help the new emperor gradually establish his own prestige.

"Then there is no doubt that the new emperor will be able to easily get through the weak stage when he first ascends to the throne of emperor."

"At the same time, with the existence of Emperor Taishang233, we can suppress the other princes who failed in the final competition for the position of emperor, so that they will not go to extremes and silently accept the fact of their final failure."

"As long as Emperor Taishang steadily assists the new emperor in ruling for three to five years, the new emperor will naturally be able to establish his own prestige, control the court, suppress other princes, and become a veritable emperor and supreme emperor!!!"

"Fourth, the emperor is also a human being. He has been diligently governing the country all his life. In his later years, it is time for him to take a good rest and enjoy the happiness of his family."

"At that time, the emperor who has succeeded and retired and became the Taishang Emperor will go with the Queen Mother and his granddaughter to see if the country and country he once ruled has become more beautiful in his own hands!"

"Go and see if the people under your rule have lived happier lives because of you!"

“Isn’t this kind of life good?!!”

"After all, the emperor has been working hard to govern the country all his life. In the end, he should see with his own eyes the fruits of his hard work all his life, right?!!"

"If Emperor Taishang still wants to continue to shine, he can also patrol the four directions on behalf of the emperor."

"Report what you have seen and heard, what you have seen and what you think still needs improvement, to the emperor, and let the emperor think about it carefully before deciding how to improve it."

"These are the advantages of the emperor abdicating the throne at the right time!!!"

"So, in my opinion, it is necessary for the emperor to retire and give way at the right time and become a Taishang Emperor!!!"

"It would be best to form a fixed system that can be passed down to future generations, just like the meritocracy and succession system."
