Chapter seven hundred and eight escape
"Your Majesty, do you regard material enjoyment as the only criterion for measuring happiness?" Faced with the question raised by Zhang Nan suddenly, Li Er did not understand Zhang Nan's meaning for a while.
"Qingquan, what do you mean?" Li Er asked in confusion. Li Er actually had no other meaning in asking this question, but Li Er didn't understand Zhang Nan's question.
"Simply put, do you think that as long as you can have glory and wealth, you are happy?" Zhang Nan explained.
"Of course not, it is not easy for me to make me happy." Li Er shook his head and said.
"Yes, yourselves, you think so, but there are still many people who don't think so. I think you have a deep understanding of this, yourselves." Zhang Nan said.
"Why do I have a deep understanding?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. I have to be the princes. Except for the few princes you particularly like, the remaining princes may not be able to catch your eyes. Your Majesty, don't tell me that the palms and backs of my hands are flesh. I don't believe it." Zhang Nan said.
When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he paused and then said, "You are right. Although they are all my flesh and blood, it is really disappointing to have a few children." Li You must be the first to bear the brunt of Li Er's words.
"Then Master, have you ever wondered why this is?" Zhang Nan said.
"Why? It's not because they were ignorant since childhood." Li Erdao.
"No, no, no, no, the emperor, according to my opinion, whether a person's character is good or not has nothing to do with his studies."
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully. When you are born, the princes are surrounded by eunuchs and slaves, and are surrounded by stars. Princes who grow up in this special environment are prone to various psychological and personality problems. The most common ones are weak will and poor self-control. Whenever you have a need, you will immediately ask for satisfaction, and lack the ability to wait for delayed satisfaction." Zhang Nan said.
Zhang Nan felt that it was quite appropriate to give this example. At least the examples could be found in Comrade Li Er's children. Zhang Nan felt that it was good to describe Li Zhi, and the poor self-control for Li Chengqian was also said by the way.
"It makes sense." Li Er nodded, agreeing with Zhang Nan's statement. After all, how can he not know what his own child looks like?
"Due to your special identity and status, you have high expectations for the princes and have strict requirements. Once you leave your harem, you will be surrounded by various strict rules. This can easily cause the princes to split their personality and form various psychological hidden dangers." Zhang Nan said.
"What is personality split?" Li Er said in confusion.
"The so-called split personality, to give the simplest example, is to face it and bear the other one. Of course, this is not subjective, but not subjective, but uncontrollable. For example, pretending to be a good child in front of others, but behind others punishing their servants at will, greedying for pleasure."
"Similar to Yang Guang?" Li Er asked.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhang Nan said.
Yang Guang is actually a good example. When Yang Guang was still a prince, Yang Guang's performance was the best among princes. Not only was he extremely intelligent, but his daily life was extremely frugal. Almost every court official believed that Yang Guang was even much better than the prince at that time, but what about the end?
Everything changed after Yang Guang came to power. Although Yang Guang's strategic vision was still there and his intelligence and talent were not lost, he was just because he took too much steps and got the ball. In addition, he tried every means to satisfy his desires, and was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
In the royal family, there are countless examples of this. Many children with extraordinary talents have been destroyed by this special growth environment, such as Yinreng, who was named the crown prince by Kangxi at the age of two because of his "glory in Japan and beautiful in nature."
He was originally a smart and smart child with extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary appearance. However, due to his long-term status of being below one person and above ten thousand people, his personality was seriously deformed. In front of the emperor, he acted generously and had a good manner.
As soon as the emperor turned around, he showed another completely different face, with a luxury, big-handed, overseeing, arrogant and tyrannical, doing whatever he wanted, and even beating the prince, Beile, and duke at will. He was bold and lacked self-control, so he sent people to intercept the envoys who paid tribute to the foreign vassals and seized the horses that paid tribute to the emperor. Finally, Kangxi could not bear it anymore and had to abolish it.
This can be seen when Li Chengqian becomes a cripple. If Li Chengqian is not in a high-pressure environment of the royal family, he may have been the intelligent and polite Li Chengqian all his life.
"Since Qingquan, you mentioned Yang Guang, I want to ask you, in my opinion, Yang Guang's strategy and ability to govern the world are not weak, why did he perish so quickly? In my opinion, he agrees with some of the characteristics of the wise kings you mentioned, why is he still addicted to wine and sex? According to your thoughts, shouldn't he be a wise king like me?"
Zhang Nan was quite helpless when he heard Li Er's question. Isn't Li Er boasting about himself? Some people say that he is a wise ruler. Although Li Er can afford this title, it is a bit too narcissistic.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask why Yang Guang is so capable, but he still can't escape the trap of wine and sex? He is rich in the world, has so many things to do, and has so rich life he can experience. Why is he as unhappy as a small farmer who is a rich man, and is devoted to the wine table and bed?" Zhang Nan asked.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Li Erdao.
"From my opinion, this is just a means of Yang Guang's escape." Zhang Nan said.
"Escape? What can he have to escape?" Li Er was really puzzled. Zhang Nan's point of view really made it difficult for Li Er to understand.
"These two things are really fun, but they are not as fun as they can kill people. The reason is actually very simple. The heavy power and strict rules make him unable to bear it. The expectations of his ancestors and the accusations of his subjects, when he plays with government affairs and seeks pleasure, he must have a deep sense of guilt, incompetence, and inferiority. Wine and lust are just his escape. To be precise, people who are addicted to wine and lust do not necessarily really like these things, but because when they don't do these things, they will feel uncomfortable all over."
