Four hundred and two, don't do it with evil

Liu Bei is a master of his generation. He was able to take over half of the northern territory and Sun Quan occupied the plump land of Jiangdong, but he turned over and seized Jingyi and Cao Cao and Sun Quan to stand together. Liu Bei was definitely not an ordinary person. No matter how historical books and Luo Guanzhong speculated, Liu Bei was at least a master of his own, and Zhuge Liang's role was not as great as imagined. The Liu Bei group's planner was Xu Shu and Pang Tong in Jingzhou, and Fa Zheng in Yizhou. After these three people left Liu Bei one after another, the decline of Liu Bei was the beginning of Liu Bei's group.

Liu Bei's own talent cannot be ignored. First of all, his martial arts are inferred from the official history. Although he is not as good as the pure martial arts general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he will not be much worse than them. Otherwise, even Guan Erye was captured in decades of failure history, but Liu Bei could have escaped smoothly. Without excellent martial arts and corresponding strategies, Liu Bei did not even have the qualifications to be a Xiaoqiang. In fact, before meeting Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, all the victories achieved by Liu Bei were his own command result, so he also had some military talents.

What is most talked about is Liu Bei's ability to identify and employ people. The most famous one is his judgment of Wei Yan and Ma Su. Wei Yan was actually a young general who followed Liu Bei since Runan. After Liu Bei conquered Hanzhong, he boldly used Wei Yan, an unknown young general, as the prefect of Hanzhong. Looking at the military and political situation in Hanzhong, the two major ranks of the Shu Han group - Guan Yu, were born. Wei Yan alone controlled nearly one-third of the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of Shu Han. You must know that Wei Yan was not only young at that time, but also had no qualifications and military achievements.

But Liu Bei is such a person. He does not doubt people, but does not use them. Even if he is defeated and dies, he does not forget to warn Zhuge Liang and Ma Su, this person is exaggerated and cannot be used. Facts have proved that Liu Bei is right. Perhaps it was said that after Liu Bei's death, the Shu Han group officially entered a period of decline. Of course, what Suning wants to say to Li Chengqian is not these, but some things that Liu Bei did before he died, such as some warnings he left to Liu Chan.

Do not do evil because of small evil, and do not do good because of small good. This famous saying that has been passed down through the ages comes from the hands of this Liu Xiaoqiang. This is also the main idea that Suning wants to warn Li Chengqian: "Why did Liu Bei say this? He lived in his sixties and had more than one Jia, from the beginning of chaos to the Three Kingdoms. He has experienced it personally. His life wisdom can be said to be in this sentence. My master highly praised this sentence. He often warned me with this sentence and forced me to copy this sentence a thousand times. Do you know why?

My master agrees with Xunzi's thoughts very much, believing that human nature is evil and requires acquired education and moral constraints to establish correct character. However, this is fragile. Once some external forces invade, it is extremely easy to destroy the correct character obtained from years of education, and thus become an unforgivable evil person. The change in this may be just a small matter, but the consequences are extremely serious, even if the sky falls and the earth falls!"

Li Chengqian's expression was a little embarrassed: "This is too much. How can a person with excellent character fall into the devil's way because of a small thing? Sanming said it overstated."

Suning said seriously: "Don't think this is an exaggeration! Do you know that Jizi, the uncle of King Zhou of Shang?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's what we know naturally, Doctor Jizi."

Suning nodded and said, "It was him. After Shang's demise, Jizi summarized the experience of Shang's demise and believed that it was like this: the cycle of reincarnation of the heavens, the cycle of cause and effect, and all the causes can be found at some time in the past, and all the causes will bear fruit at some time in the future. This is inevitable. He gave an example, or how King Zhou of Shang became foolish and cruel, which he saw with his own eyes.

A king has always lived a simple life, and his food and clothing cost is simple, and his country has always been quite calm. But one day, a minister may have seen their king's food and clothing cost a little shabby, and even those who are ministers are a little worse, so this minister just kindly offered their king a beautiful chopstick made of ivory to express his feelings. Do you think, is it right to do this?"

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "It is naturally understandable."

Suning sneered: "Yes, everyone thinks it's nothing wrong. The king also thinks it's no big deal, so he accepted it. But not long after, the king felt that he was using exquisite ivory chopsticks, but the bowl he was eating was still so rough and ugly, which was completely incompatible with the ivory chopsticks. So the king began to have the idea of ​​wanting an exquisite bowl to match this pair of chopsticks, and put it into practice, and owned an exquisite jade bowl. You said, isn't it right to do this?"

Li Chengqian still said, "It's nothing big of a bowl?"

Suning still sneered: "Well, it's no big deal. The king owns the bowl, and everyone thinks it's no big deal. The king also thinks it's good, so he goes on like this. But not long after, the king thinks that the cups that drink are too ugly, so he also needs to change the cups. After changing the cups, he thinks that the tables he uses are too simple, and he also needs to use a more exquisite table and a beautiful table. The king thinks that the food he eats is too simple and does not deserve these exquisite utensils, so he has to eat beef, mutton, leopard meat, elephant meat and other exquisite meat.

After eating these delicious food and using exquisite props, the king felt that he should not wear short clothes and sit in thatched huts to eat, but should wear gorgeous clothes and eat in gorgeous palaces. With beautiful clothes and gorgeous palaces, the king began to be dissatisfied with his royal city and wanted to re-expand. So he summoned the people, built a large-scale construction, enjoyed and squandered, and was no longer as simple as before. Everyone found something was wrong and began to give advice, but the king no longer wanted to live the past and kill all the ministers who gave advice! This was the journey of King Zhou of Shang becoming foolish and cruel!

Do you know that five years later, King Zhou of Shang established the punishment of burning and baking, and climbing to the scattered forest! Everyone thinks that the demise of Zhou of Shang was the cause of the demon queen Daji, but no one knows that the demise of Zhou of Shang was caused by a pair of exquisite ivory chopsticks! A pair of exquisite ivory chopsticks can destroy a country! It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality! This is a true story recorded in "Han Feizi". Chengqian, do you still think this is an indifferent measure now?!"

Suning suddenly said loudly, staring at Li Chengqian tightly. Li Chengqian was shocked, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his expression was gloomy and his face was distorted. When Suning saw it, he immediately continued: "You are dissatisfied because of your father's favor for Qingque. You think this is just a small dissatisfaction. But do you know that if such a small dissatisfaction continues, it is like a pair of chopsticks to destroy the Shang Dynasty, it will eventually destroy what you cherish the most! Don't do it with a small amount of evil! Liu Bei's words before his death. His words are also kind. How could he say unnecessary things to his son! You know the slightest mistake. A thousand miles away!"

Li Chengqian suddenly stared at his eyes wide open, and he gasped violently, and his blue face turned red. His expression was extremely terrifying. After a while, he calmed down and collapsed on the bed as if he had leaked. After a while, Li Chengqian's expression returned to normal. He closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened it again. Looking at Suning, who was still serious but caring, he smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hide anything from you. No wonder my father wants to keep you next to me. I know, I know what to do."

Li Chengqian asked Suning to help him up, then sat down at the table, picked up a piece of paper and picked up a pen and wrote something. There was no taboo on Suning being right next to him, but let Suning see it openly. Suning was not pretentious. He looked carefully. Li Chengqian wrote the transfer orders of some subordinates from the East Palace, with seven or eight names. It seemed that they were all those who slandered Li Chengqian and asked him to "be prepared for danger in times of peace". Under a command by Li Chengqian, these subordinates were transferred from the core of the East Palace to do some insignificant things. Those who stayed were all those who did things honestly, and some were transferred to the core to do things.

After writing the transfer order, Li Chengqian took out his crown prince seal, covered it, and then called a servant to take it out and publish it immediately. What should be left behind will come, what should be come, and what should be left will be gone immediately. After doing it, Li Chengqian looked up at Suning and smiled and said, "Are you satisfied if I do this?"

Suning said seriously: "This is not what I asked you to do, but your own will. I cannot control your will. I can only tell you what I think should be done and what should not be done. As for whether to listen or not, it is your own business. I think what you are doing now is right, but this is not my will, but your own."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "What's the difference?"

Suning said: "You are the crown prince. You must have your own ideas and persistence. If you think it is right, you can continue to do it. You cannot listen to whatever others say. You must have your own judgment ability. Although your father is often refuted by his ministers, it is all wrong things. It is great to know his mistakes and can correct them. But who have you seen your father bow to? Whether it is labor reform, military universities, or trade with the Western Turks, which thing is not what your father insists on doing?"

Li Chengqian nodded and asked seriously: "So, do you think it is right or wrong for me to do this?"

Suning nodded with satisfaction: "Of course I think this is right. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu, those who are close to Mo are black. When Zhuge Liang talked to Liu Bei, Liu Bei repeatedly expressed his grief about the decline of the Later Han Dynasty. He felt that the reason why the ancestors prospered was that the monarch was close to the wise ministers and were far away from the villain. The reason why the Later Han Dynasty was that the monarch was close to the villain and was far away from the wise ministers. The influence brought by subtle influence was huge. A wrong view was passed on millions of times and would become the truth. Therefore, Mr. Kong Yingda was inspired by his feelings, and harsh government was more fierce than tigers, and rumors were more fierce than harsh government!"

Li Chengqian nodded seriously: "I remember everything in my heart. I will pay more attention in the future. I will never do it because of small evil, nor will I not do it because of small good. Sanming, is it time to end this conversation? I am a little uncomfortable with you becoming so serious all of a sudden."

Speaking afterwards, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, and Suning also slowed down and said, "Okay, after the serious business is over, I won't be like this. Otherwise, why would you think your father put me next to you? Is it just to play with you and then lead you badly? Chengqian, I want to warn you that if you do something wrong, I will not show mercy. In some places, my temper is more stinky and harder than Wei Zheng. Can you bear it?"

Li Chengqian held Suning's hand: "If you can't even bear it, how can I bear the huge Tang Dynasty? Sanming, help me!"

Li Chengqian's eyes were sincere and eager. Suning smiled and punched Li Chengqian: "As long as you are still Li Chengqian I know, I will always help you, but once you do something wrong, I will correct you mercilessly!"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I really want to ask for it!"
