Yang Huairen laughed at himself, and then said, "Since you want to escape, you won't think about being the emperor."

The world thinks that sitting on that high throne is the happiest thing in the world, but they are wrong.

Countless facts in history have proved that the higher a person stands, the farther he may not see, but can only look at his feet.

Because you stand too high, you must be careful, otherwise if you stumble and fall, it will be a broken bone, so you must keep looking at your feet all the time, and you don't have time to look into the distance.

On the other hand, being in a high place is too cold to be cold. When the wind is strong in high places, it is natural to feel cold, and it doesn't matter if the body is cold, the important thing is that the heart also becomes cold.

Father and son, the earliest power is structured on the blood relationship, the father gives birth to a son, the son naturally has to respect the father, obey all the orders of the father.

But when blood ties are not enough to maintain this authority, then there is absolute force, which determines the ownership of power. This is not difficult to understand.

Power is a good thing, everyone hopes that they can give orders, and all the people bow down to their knees, but force is such a thing, perhaps, when the people are docile, there is no force, and when the people rebel, they suddenly have endless force.

When the temptation of power transcends the boundaries of blood, then the relationship between father and son becomes fragile and easy to turn things upside down.

I don't dare to say that I have seen it thoroughly, but I can still understand the basic points of this truth.

If I become emperor, and I haven't had time to enjoy it, I will start to worry about my children and grandchildren, will they kill each other in the future?

The answer is almost yes, I feel very sad when I think of this, there has never been anyone in this world, there is no way to avoid this, there is only one throne, but the emperor cannot give birth to only one son, this is the source of the contradiction. ”

The great monk suddenly interjected, "So, has the prince ever been moved?" ”

Yang Huairen pondered for a long time, but the great monk was still focusing on himself, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"It doesn't make much sense to tell lies to the master, since the master said so, I don't hide it, people in different positions will always have different ideas.

When I felt that my current majesty was not a majesty that could satisfy me, I also fantasized about many things that were not boundary.

Zhao Xu is a qualified person, as a friend, even now, he should still retain some of the once innocent parts in his heart.

But if he became the emperor, it didn't do much good to the Great Song Dynasty, so I once thought, if I were replaced as the emperor, would it be better than him?

There was a time when I couldn't sleep well over and over again, thinking about it all the time, and I was very tired.

Later, I thought about it, I came to be the emperor, maybe I could be better than him, but it wasn't much better.

Speaking of which, I'm too lazy, unruly, and dissolute, so I'm going to be an emperor, and I might be able to do my best in the first few years, but after a few years, I'll inevitably become a tyrant.

The imperial power is very large, but it is not as big as the world thinks, Emperor Taizu attaches importance to the literati and suppresses the martial arts, the original intention is to prevent military disasters for the thousands of generations of the Great Song Dynasty.

But when a wise literati is in power, they will inevitably divide the imperial power. The emperor and the ministers, why don't they always play an endless game?

The emperor called on the literati to govern the country, and the literati also used the emperor to realize their own values and ideals. It's just that different literati have completely different values and ideals, so there are contradictions between literati.

The emperor felt that this contradiction could be used for his own purposes, so he carefully operated another game in the court to stabilize his position at one time.

But they play games and games, but they ignore the most important point, the most important thing in this country is not necessarily the emperor and ministers, let alone the country, but the people of this country.

It may seem primitive to say this, but it is true, like the nomadic tribes of the steppe, if you think of each tribe as a country, then I am right.

The most important thing in the tribe is the people at the lowest level, although the patriarch rules them, but without the patriarch, the clan is still there, and without the chiefs of the tribe, the clans are still there.

Without the pastures, cattle and sheep that they depend on, they can change places or rob them in a barbaric way, but without the people, this tribe will no longer exist.

But on the other hand, the people are actually stupid, no matter how obedient they are, in fact, it is a kind of blind obedience, to put it bluntly, what they care most about is survival, they can eat, they can have clothes to wear, and they can have women to reproduce.

With these, they will be obedient, and precisely because they do not have high requirements for survival, they are a stupid bunch of fart people in the eyes of those who stand tall.

But the rulers like this stupidity of the people, and then use the so-called royal way to educate the people to make the people even more stupid, and then make their children and grandchildren obey from generation to generation.

Speaking of which, do you think I'll still be interested in the throne?

I lived at ease, more nourishing than the days of the Emperor, and no one was required to comply with my mental and physical needs.

I treat my friends as if they were my own brothers, and it is not that no one has ever reminded me that those who are superior should naturally have the majesty of those who are superior, and then use them to help you do things.

I listened carefully, thought about it, and finally laughed at it.

I had no need for obedience, and I lost my original desire for power, and until now, I am still unhappy with those who bow down to me.

A person's life is not long, and if you put it in the long river of years, it is simply those mayflies that die in the twilight of life.

Life is so short, I don't think it's worth it to still enjoy life and work hard to pursue something useless.

There are too many things in the world that I cherish, family, love, friendship, there is no need to lose my opportunity to enjoy human feelings for those things in the air.

So instead of being an emperor, I would rather accompany my wife, take care of my children, drink happily with my brothers, and live a wanton life. ”

The big monk was so red-faced when he heard this, he put down the wine jar that he didn't leave his hand, and saluted Yang Huairen with his hands, "The prince has seen life thoroughly, and it is the little monk Meng Lang." ”

Yang Huairen lay on the blanket and didn't get up, waving his hands casually, "The master is serious." It's not thorough, it's simple and complex cause and effect.

If you look at your life as complicated, then your life will naturally be complicated, and if your life is complicated, you will be easily tired, because I am lazy, so I don't want to live a tired life.

If you look at life simply, then life will naturally be simple, and people will be easy to relax, and you can enjoy life with a relaxed mood. ”

The great monk asked again, "In that case, why does the prince bother to conquer Jiaozhi?" ”
