In the Hall of Dew, you can hear the sound of a needle falling.
After obtaining the approval of the emperors, Li Dun withdrew his mind from the emperor chat group. He looked at Li Er, who was listening attentively and had bright eyes. He thought about his words and said,
"Let me talk about the first rule first. The so-called clear rule is to state the law clearly.”
Li Er nodded slightly and asked,"How do you explain the law?"”
"If the law is heavy, the people will be fearless. If the law is light, the people will be unconvinced.”
Li Dun muttered,
"To despise laws is the foundation of despising a country, so we must state the laws clearly.”
"The people are the foundation of the country, and the law is the root of the country. Without law, the country will be in chaos, and without the people, the country will be destroyed.”
"There's a saying that if the people can, let them do it. If they can't, let them know.”
"It means that the people are law-abiding and kind, so they should not be too restrained in their actions. The foolish and violent among the people shall be disciplined and taught, that they may know their faults.”
"But the problem is that we have to let the people know the law.”
"Therefore, to implement it, we must make the law clear and let the people know what they can and cannot do.”
"Regardless of whether it is a big or small matter, we must follow the law. However, there will always be gaps in every matter, so we must always check for gaps and make up for them.”
Regardless of the big or small matters…
To check and fill in the gaps…
Let the people know…
Just one sentence was enough to enlighten Li Shi Min.
"Guardian Si!"
Li Shi Min said excitedly,"Go, bring me the brush and ink!"
The internal servant supervisor hunched over and hurriedly took it over. He said respectfully,"Sage, this servant will record it."
"Give it to me!"
Li Shi Min opened his palm and took the brush and ink from his hand. He waved his hand and said,"Zhen will take note of it himself. Go and bring two cups of tea. After you are done, go wait outside the hall.”
Si Shoushou wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to say that it was against the rules.
However, when he thought about what the other princes had said just now, he received a stern scolding from Li Er. Si Shoushou quickly said respectfully,"Yes!"
After serving the tea and gently placing it on the table, Guardian Si walked out of the Dew Hall with small steps.
When he left, Si Shoushou stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Dun with a complicated gaze. He was extremely shocked.
Three years ago, this was not the case. At that time, Li Dun was illiterate and was so quiet that it was disgusting. He was the kind of person who would tremble when he saw Li Shiming. How could he be so confident now?
After entering the palace for three years, he had actually transformed into a real dragon!
If Li Dun knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.'Three years in the palace? The Li Dun who has been in the palace for three years has long been killed by you. What you're seeing now is the modern Li Dun who has returned to the Great Tang with the Emperor's chat group!'
Li Shi Min held a pen and paper in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Continue. I'm here to record. What do you mean by managing the people?”
Li Dun picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. Suddenly, he frowned and looked down at the teacup. He sighed, not knowing what to say.
Who would put chopped green onions in their tea!
Putting down the teacup, Li Dun stared at Li Er's expectant eyes and said in an orderly manner,
"Managing the people is the concept of putting the people first. However, this is not the ordinary way of putting the people first. The word 'people' must not harm the country first.”
"Those who do not harm the country are the people, and those who benefit the country are the ministers.”
Li Dun continued," The meaning of governing the people is to use the people to replace the officials. The people have the ability of the officials, but not the name of the officials.”
"You mean, surveillance?" Li Er's eyes lit up.”
Li Dun remained silent and sighed inwardly. Look at how an emperor should behave. He didn't even need to say it out loud, and the other party already understood what he wanted to say.
Immediately, Li Er fell into deep thought. His muttering slowly and repeatedly resounded within the Dew Hall,
Why didn't I think of this…"
"Only with the ability to monitor and not with the ability to be an official can the corrupt officials feel insecure and work hard. This is a strategy that benefits the country and the people. If the people have the ability to monitor, they will naturally share the glory and loss of the court.”
"As for the Imperial Court, they don't need to spend a single cent, but they can obtain great benefits!”
"Wonderful, this move is very good!"
Li Eryi muttered to himself as he held the Bunny Hair Brush tightly. He lowered his head and continued to write on the paper.
At this moment, the inkstone ran out of ink.
Li Er suddenly became anxious. Damn it, what was that Guardian Si doing? He left without even preparing the ink.
What he forgot was that he had already written too many words. The ink consumption could not keep up with the speed of his use.
Li Er hurriedly put down his pen and was about to pick up the ink stick to grind the ink. However, he was worried that his thoughts would be interrupted while grinding the ink, so he could not help but pick up the rabbit hair pen again.
How could he look like an emperor when he was flustered?
A fair hand suddenly reached out from the opposite side and snatched the ink stick from his hand. She placed it on the inkstone on the table and gently rubbed it. Then, a familiar voice sounded in her ear,
"You just need to remember. Don't think about anything else.”
Li Er was stunned as he looked at Li Dun, who had his head lowered and was seriously grinding the ink. He nodded silently. The warmth that the other eight princes had never brought him suddenly filled his heart.
Li Dun's image was magnified in Li Er's mind.
