Dedicated to the rulers: After the old comrades retired

Celia 2021-11-20 08:01:41

Yi Wenxiuhu, an old comrade who has been well-tested and dedicated his life to the revolution, retired a few years ago. The organization sent me to the nursing home to visit Xiuhu and express the organization's care for the retired veteran cadres. The old man cried as soon as he saw me, saying that after he retired, he decided to divide the family property among his three sons, so that he could provide for the elderly with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, the younger son confronted him in public and jumped into the foreign country in angrily; the elder son swept him out immediately, while the second son pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the fisherman made a profit. Why do you say these three beasts are so unconscionable? I raised them from childhood to adulthood and trained them to become talents.

I said that you are always wise and confused. Taizu's old man taught us: There is no love for no reason in the world. Think about it, why your son used to be filial to you? Are you still thinking about your family business? Before you divide the family property, the knife is in your hands. Can they flatter you without thinking of the law? "Han Feizi Erbin" said: "The one who knows the way of the master to control his subject is only two handles. The second handle also penalizes morality. What is criminal morality? Say: killing is punishment, celebrating reward is morality. Being a minister Those who are afraid of punishment and reward are rewarded, so if the owner uses his own punishment, the officials fear his prestige and return to his profit. So the traitorous ministers of the world are not, the evil, the one who can get the owner and the sin; the love, If you can get it, you will be rewarded by the owner; now, the owner does not make the willy of reward and punishment come from his own, and listen to his subjects to reward and punish, then the people of a country fear their subjects and change their kings and go to their subjects. It’s a monarch. This person is also in danger of losing his criminal morality." Your family property, you think you can provide forever, but in fact you have lost your "two handles". How many good things did the emperor have in the ancient times? Li Yuan died after being in office for a few years, and Li Longji was also very depressed. King Zhao Wuling starved to death. Lord Qianlong was a good emperor, but people grasped the big and let go of the small, and the real power was never devolved. Not to mention those who are in power, even if ordinary people make a will to divide the property, they have to wait for the head of the household to die before it is announced. How can it be divided before death? Isn't this "chaos" anymore?

Besides, since the property is divided, you also have to talk about strategy. Is it all given to the eldest son? Or does everyone have one copy? Give it all to the eldest son, your family business will be in the same line, and will not shrink; everyone has one share, which is terrible. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut the vassal vassal and issued the order of Tweeting Enthusiasm: "The princes or those who want to push the elder brothers of the benefactors, order each article, I will decide its name." Think about it, your son divides the family property three times, and your grandson divides it again and keeps dividing it. Wouldn't it be that the smaller the division, the less the family will lose. what? Brothers in battle, fighting against the tiger father and the son soldier, each son will have a hard time helping each other a little bit? How can there be such a good thing! Brothers clearly settle accounts. Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention to make his son a feudal lord was similar to yours. After he died, King Yan turned his back and cracked his grandson. Isn't this "chaos"?

You always want to retire and find successors. Is successor so easy to find? As wise as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, didn't they also have a brainstorm on this issue and stumbled upon it? Master Kangxi racked his brains and made a secret reserve. He didn't let anyone know who would succeed him beforehand. He took out his will only after he died. Everyone was convinced. It was reasonable to say that he was good enough. The grandfather of this dynasty, a man of the many sages, pre-appointed Taifu Liu as his successor and abolished him; and appointed Lieutenant Lin as his successor, and then abolished him. Before his death, he issued a manuscript to Duke Huashang, "You do things, I can rest assured", but it was replaced by Shizu. Think about it, just for your three sons, everyone who you don’t take is a part of it. Isn’t this "chaos" anymore?

If you step back ten thousand steps, you will also retreat, and the rights will be handed over, then there will be no play. It is inevitable to be aggrieved at home, you can't bear it, and behave with your tail sandwiched? In Tang Gaozong's reign, there was a well-known "Five Good Family" throughout the country. Gaozong was very interested, and asked the head of the household how to manage the house. He wrote one hundred "tolerance": Father and son cannot bear to be kind and filial, brothers cannot bear bullying by outsiders, wives and wives cannot bear to live apart, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot bear to lose filial piety... Are we not advocating a "harmonious society" now? There is a slogan that puts it well: "Wait for safety, let it pass, and forbearance and forbearance will be harmonious.-China Railway 11th Bureau Group reminds you." It's good for you. You can't stand a bit of grievance, and you shot a dog from your eldest son's house. Can people not go crazy? Well, you are tired too. These two catties of wild boar are organized to take care of you during the Chinese New Year. Take it well and see you later.

  • Hidetora: What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.

    Hidetora: I'm aware of that.

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!
