Hearing the voice of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai sighed lightly, put down the book in his hand, and looked up at the prince Zhu and Yu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the frequent abdominal pain during this period of time tormented Zhao Shancai a lot, but at this time, Zhao Shancai's eyes were still bright and wise, looking at the expression of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai quickly guessed the mind of the prince Zhu and Yu at this time.
After shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shan raised his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please sit down and speak." ”
After the crown prince Zhu and Yu sat down, Zhao Shan said slowly: "Does His Royal Highness the crown prince know about Bao Wenze?" ”
originally thought that Zhao Shancai would blame himself, but he didn't expect Zhao Shancai to suddenly mention a completely irrelevant figure.
However, the crown prince Zhu Heyu still nodded and said: "I naturally know that this person is an old man in the former court, who is honest and good at governance, and is a model for hundreds of officials, and the first emperor also valued him, but unfortunately he died young, and died of illness soon after joining the cabinet auxiliary government." ”
Zhao Shancai asked: "So, Your Highness has a lot of respect for this person?" ”
The crown prince Zhu Heyu nodded again and said: "This is natural, if there are more people like Bao Wenze of the previous dynasty among the court officials, then the situation in the temples of our dynasty will definitely be much clearer." ”
Zhao Shancai sighed again and said, "Since this is the case, I will tell His Highness a story." During Bao Wenze's tenure as the prefect of Xi'an, when the weather was dry, an explosion occurred in a fireworks workshop in the north of the city, and then ignited an oil mill around, causing a fire, and more than 1,000 people were trapped in the fire. ”
Hearing Zhao Shancai's slow speech, although the prince Zhu Heyu didn't know Zhao Shancai's intentions, he gradually became obsessed.
However, when Zhao Shan said this, he suddenly stopped, and instead asked the crown prince Zhu Heyu: "Your Royal Highness the prince, if you were Bao Wenze at that time, how would you deal with this matter?" ”
The crown prince Zhu Heyu had a serious face and said: "If I were Bao Wenze, no matter how fierce the fire was, I would definitely do my best to extinguish it, after all, there were more than a thousand people in the sea of fire who could be killed in the sea of fire at any time. ”
Hearing the answer of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai seemed to have expected it, but a trace of disappointment still flashed in his eyes.
Then, Zhao Shancai continued: "It's a pity that Bao Wenze's choice is not the same as His Royal Highness the Prince. He did not do his best to extinguish the fire, but sent all his limited manpower around the fire, either to evacuate the crowd, or to demolish all the combustible work, or to tear down the houses around the fire, so as to prevent the fire from spreading further. For Bao Wenze, the damage caused by the fire is already an established fact, and the possibility of saving it is not great, so he chose to control the loss, so he even did not hesitate to disperse the people who were fighting the fire, but he was worried that the number of people killed in the fire would further increase. ”
Hearing Zhao Shancai talk about this, the crown prince Zhu Heyu felt a little incredible, and asked: "Could it be that Bao Wenze doesn't care about the people who are caught in the fire?" Didn't they send people to rescue the people? ”
Zhao Shancai replied: "In a way, Bao Wenze at that time thought that those people who were in the fire had little chance of being rescued, so he gave up on them. Of course, Bao Wenze still sent people to save him, and a total of ten people were sent. ”
"Ten people? To extinguish such a big fire? And to rescue more than 1,000 people? Only ten people were sent? Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu and Yu felt more and more incredible.
Zhao Shancai's expression was calm, and he nodded: "Yes, he sent ten people to extinguish the fire and save people, and gave a death order to these ten people, if the fire cannot be extinguished and the people cannot be rescued, then these ten people do not have to come back...... In the end, all ten of them died in the flames. And among these ten, there is also one of his own sons! ”
The crown prince Zhu Heyu was about to speak to condemn Bao Wenze's irresponsibility, but after hearing that Bao Wenze's biological son also died in the fire in order to save people, he didn't know how to evaluate this matter for a while.
Zhao Shancai asked again: "Bao Wenze must have been very clear at that time, only sending ten people to fight the fire and save people was completely to send them to death, but he still made such a decision, even if there was his own son among them. So, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know why Bao Wenze made such a decision? ”
At this point in the story, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were completely at a loss, and at this time they naturally shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
And Zhao Shancai sighed and said: "He did this, not only to stabilize people's hearts, but also to block the mouth of the world!" If he hadn't sent these ten people to death, then those people who were eager to put out the fire but were forcibly evacuated by Bao Wenze would inevitably have rioted! If he hadn't sent these ten men to death, then the people of the world would have condemned him for putting out fires and abandoning the people! Therefore, he let these ten people go to death, even if one of them is his own son, he will not hesitate to do it! ”
The crown prince Zhu and Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, at the beginning of hearing this story, his attention was only on the more than 1,000 people who were caught in the fire, but he didn't think about these at all.
On the other side, Zhao Shancai continued: "After reading about this incident from the Xi'an Mansion Chronicle, I also thought about what would be the consequences if Bao Wenze at that time was just blindly fighting fires and saving people, but did not control the fire and evacuate the crowd? The answer is that at least half of the city of Xi'an will be in flames, and the number of dead and wounded will increase by at least tenfold! ”
After a pause, Zhao Shancai said again: "Now, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still think that what Bao Wenze did was wrong?" ”
Prince Zhu and Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally shook their heads.
Abandoning the people in the sea of fire and sending people to the sea of fire to die are not in line with the practice of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, but the prince Zhu and Yu have to admit that this is indeed the most correct method.
Unfortunately, the so-called right approach often has nothing to do with words such as benevolence and kindness.
Just as the crown prince Zhu and Yu were pondering, Zhao Shancai finally talked about the topic and said slowly: "I have already heard about the things that went up this morning. I just told this story to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to explain three truths to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Shancai raised a finger: "First, I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now feels a little guilty and regretful, but just like the Xi'an fire back then, since the loss has been caused, then we should focus on how to prevent the loss from further expanding, instead of just staring at the past losses and blindly blaming ourselves." ”
After seeing the crown prince Zhu and Yu nodding, Zhao Shan raised his second finger: "Second, I hope His Royal Highness the crown prince understands that as a superior person, he always has no chance with kindness, and extra kindness and compassion will only ruin the overall situation." I don't blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for hiding the latest information from me last night, after all, I am just a guest of the staff, and I can't really call the shots, with my current physical condition, I don't know how long I can assist His Royal Highness the Prince, so I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rely too much on my thoughts, however, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will no longer hide the news from me because of temporary compassion and compassion in the future, although I have been unwell recently, but I can still stand it. ”
Hearing Zhao Shancai say this, he actually faintly explained the aftermath, and the prince Zhu and Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts.
However, before the crown prince Zhu Heyu could speak, Zhao Shan had already raised his third finger: "Third, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can learn the lessons of today, and when making decisions in the future, he can carefully analyze the pros and cons of things, stop just staring at the present, and stop being blindly impulsive." ”
After speaking, Zhao Shancai put away his three fingers, looked at the crown prince Zhu Heyu with a serious expression, and asked, "These three points, His Royal Highness the crown prince can do it?" ”

Well, the second more.
