What Is a Wise Ruler? I care about the people, not the world
Li Shimin didn't know, but it wasn't that Fang Xuanling liked to argue.
Fang Xuanling also wanted to know where the so-called wise ruler came from. If it really made sense, he would write it down in the history books so that future emperors would follow suit.
Using Li Shiming as an example to continue the prosperity of the Great Tang.
Let's not talk about this for the time being.
Jiang Fan wasn't in a hurry to answer Fang Xuanling's question. Instead, he slowly began to think.
"What do you think is a wise ruler?”
A rhetorical question made everyone confused.
However, since he had already asked, it would not be good if he did not answer.
Therefore, the few of them pondered. After about a cup of tea's time, Zhangsun Wuji was the first to speak.
"A wise ruler should be able to see through everything and care about the world.”
He finished speaking.
"I agree with Shopkeeper Sun's words. A wise ruler, especially a wise ruler who has lived for thousands of years, must be concerned about the world. He must humbly accept advice on everything."”
After the two highest-ranking civil officials of the Great Tang spoke, it was Li Jing's turn.
If Cheng Yaojin was a general, then Li Jing was a commander.
The generals charged forward.
Commander-in-chief used spells and schemes, so Li Jing's talent was not inferior to Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji.
"I believe that a wise ruler is one who cares about the country and the people.”
After the three of them expressed their opinions, only four people remained on the scene.
These four people were Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian's temporary identity was a tavern, so he naturally did not have the qualifications.
As the person being criticized, Li Shimin's answer was a little far-fetched, so he didn't intend to answer.
Therefore, the only ones left were Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
Therefore, everyone quickly turned their attention to Yuchi Jingde.
"I think that the three of you are right and have different plans from me.”
Although this sentence did not have much meaning, it also expressed his stance.
After he finished speaking.
Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin saw that everyone was looking at him.
"Me too!" he shouted.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Fan was speechless.
Li Shi Min was speechless.
Li Jing was speechless.
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
"No culture!"
That's right, everyone had been defeated by Cheng Yaojin, who had an extremely low level of education!!
However, everyone was not surprised. This guy was a general to begin with, and his knowledge of literature was almost negative.
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking.
Jiang Fan looked at Li Shi Min, but Li Shi Min said directly,""I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, so I won't comment further.”
After hearing Li Shi Min's words, Jiang Fan nodded and said bluntly to the people at the table,""In the words of my brothers, a wise ruler naturally cares about the world and humbly accepts advice, right?”
"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison.
However, just as they answered, Jiang Fan shouted,""Wrong, very wrong, very wrong!!”
A series of wrong adjectives made everyone confused.
They didn't understand why Jiang Fan would say that they were wrong.
While he was still confused, Jiang Fan started to answer.
"What is a wise ruler?"
"A wise ruler should care about the people, not the world.”
"This... Isn't it the same?" When Cheng Yaojin heard Jiang Fan's words, he immediately found it strange. He was the least cultured one, but he also realized that Jiang Fan's words were a little repetitive.
After he asked, everyone agreed with Cheng Yaojin's words and looked at Jiang Fan again.
At this moment, Jiang Fan also began to explain.
"The heart of the world includes the people, the territory, and diplomacy. It can be said that everything in the world is calculated by the world.”
"As for caring for the people, it means that you only care about the people.”
"Why do I say that? It's very simple.”
"The Great Tang's war is almost non-existent, and the Great Tang's Imperial Court is a place where a hundred flowers compete in beauty.”
"Wen Youfang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and the other ministers."
"Wu Youcheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, Li Jing, and the others.”
"Therefore, under such circumstances, there's basically no need to worry too much about major events in the world with these people around.”
"At this juncture, a wise ruler should care more about the people of the world.”
"For the people, as long as a ruler can provide them with food when they are hungry, sleep at night, work in the morning, surplus food during the year, laughter when they are free, wine when they are sad, support when they are old, and education when they are young, they can be called a wise ruler of a generation.”
"Brothers, think about it."
"If the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and only need to work every day to rest, how will the people of the world praise the ruler? How would you evaluate this emperor?"
Jiang Fan threw another question at them.
After throwing out this question.
Everyone was silent.
All of them started to imagine what Jiang Fan had said.
He imagined this scene.
The few of them were not stupid and understood immediately.
After saying that.
They immediately realized that if Li Shiming really did this, then no matter what he did, the world would only praise him as a wise ruler, an eternal emperor.
For example, if Li Shiming went to war now, even if he conquered all of Asia, would the people of the Great Tang be happy?
The answer was obvious. No matter how much the country had expanded, they would only complain about their poor lives.
They would only curse the emperor for being useless and poisonous.
On the other hand, even if the country's territory was reduced by half, if they could achieve what Jiang Fan said...
All the people of the world would be happy and proud to become citizens of the Great Tang.
Moreover, Li Shiming had already made the military the best.
There was no place in the world that could pose a threat to the Great Tang.
At the very most, it would only cause some trouble for the Great Tang.，It didn't exist at all!
Therefore, if Li Shiming wanted to become an emperor and a wise ruler, there was only one way.
He wanted the commoners to live better and better lives. In this way, regardless of whether it was thousands of years later or now, no matter where he went, he would definitely receive countless praises.
As for Jiang Fan.
He paused for a moment before continuing.
" Therefore, in this situation, His Majesty's benevolent government is the practice of a wise ruler and an emperor through the ages. He urges farmers to farm, humbly accepts advice, and governs the country with culture. Under such a policy, in a few years, the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. They will even be able to live in a good environment such as not closing their doors at night and not picking up things on the road.”
"Therefore, everyone, think again. Is the current Emperor worthy of the title of the one emperor in history?”
This time, Fang Xuanling didn't argue with him anymore.
Instead, he looked at Li Shiming and the other officials with a deep gaze.
Everyone looked at Li Shiming.
Today, through Jiang Fan's words, they had a new understanding of their leader.
As for Li Shi Min?
When he realized that his officials were looking at him with great respect, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
This kind of pleasure was unprecedented, and it was even more explosive than the feeling of ascending to the throne.
At the same time, he also realized that he was so awesome!!!!
