Chapter 24 The Way to Be King

Chai Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you are a martial arts fanatic like me!" As he said that, he suddenly put down the fish intestine sword in his hand and looked directly at the man. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "You have successfully stopped me from killing people. I have a very bad temper. I have recorded this account. I will come to you again in the future. At that time, you will definitely repay me with the capital and profits! Goodbye!" After saying that, Chai Yu jumped and disappeared without a trace.

Chai Yu doesn't like fighting unsure battles, and he doesn't like fighting battles that take risks, because he can't die yet! He still has things to do. And this mysterious man is an unfathomable person. It's really hard to say who will lose and who will win if he really fights with him.

Seeing Chai Yu leaving, the man and Chai Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your righteous rescue! I wonder what the hero calls him?" Chai Qian asked with his hands in his arms.

The man hugged his hands and returned the salute, smiling and said, "The name is just a code name! I am only responsible for saving you and protecting your safety! That's all! So it's better not to know the name."

Chai Qian frowned slightly, wondering why the man didn't want to reveal his name. He didn't want to say that Chai Qian would naturally not force him, "The hero must be hungry! Let's go! Let's find a restaurant in front of you to have a few drinks!"

He didn't pay much attention to the man who ate, but when he heard the wine behind, he immediately became envious, showed his favorite gaze, and smiled and said, "Since the young master invites you, then I'm respectful and obey your order!"

"please!"

"Hahaha!" The two looked at each other and walked forward with big strides.

In the palace, the enthronement ceremony had ended, and Chai Yi was not used to it. In the end, the emperor gave a few more words before leaving. Then the prince who was enthroned quickly left Kyoto and took office in his fiefdom.

They were the first foreign prince to be granted titles. They had all had titles before. For example, Chai Yi had previously named King Qin, but now he wanted to be granted the title of King of Shandong. Naturally, he had to change it. Now he is King Qi.

Chai Rang and Chai Ke still took office in each fiefdom according to their previous titles, namely King Jin and King Lu. These two princes have been accustomed to being domineering since childhood. Chai Lie is actually quite worried that they would harm the people when they come there, and he is even more afraid that the two of them will join forces to join forces and that they are not in a good way, so he put Chai Yi next to Chai Ke to restrain him.

In the Golden Dragon Hall, Chai Lie and the Queen sat upright, and Chai Yi and the other three were wearing crowns and court uniforms. This outfit was specially customized by Chai Lie. After all, it was the first vassal king of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so naturally he had to wear it with decent clothes.

"Son, please see the father!" All the princes walked into the Golden Dragon Palace one after another and fell to the ground together.

Chai Lie waved his hand, signaled them to rise, and said calmly: "Emperors! For the stability of the border, I have to enfeoff you to various fiefs to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty! My chest is stuffy and painful! I thought a lot last night, but I have never thought so much in my life!"

"Father! Worries are prone to illness. My son begs to take care of the dragon body!" Chai Rang's plump body bent and said,

"Oh!" Chai Lie sighed deeply and said, "Ranger's fief is in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Ke'er's fief is in Yanzhou, Shandong, and Yi'er's fief is in Qingzhou, Shandong. You are now the king. The word "king" is very simple, three horizontal and one vertical, but the horizontal above represents the sky, the horizontal below represents the earth, and the horizontal in the middle represents the people! The so-called king is just the vertical in the middle, standing up to the sky and leading the people! So after you arrive at the fief, you must be more sympathetic to the people! Seek happiness for the people! Make good health!"

"My son is very careful to follow the teachings of the father! We must be a good king, protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and protect the father!"

After hesitating for a moment, Chai Lie continued, "But, this king is not easy to be! Since ancient times, the most painful things in the world have been concentrated on you vassal kings. When you become an adult, you will often have a chance to meet. Although you are already adult, you have always been children in the eyes of your father. This is why you did not immediately enfeoff your title when you were just adults. But now you are reluctant to let go. The frontiers have been wars for years and guarding the frontiers.

The generals are old and there is no one in the court, so the heaviest burden will fall on you! So it is not easy for you as a king, it is really not easy! Sometimes I think, it would be great if you princes were born in ordinary people's homes, and there would not be such a heavy burden on your shoulders! I can't bear the fate of a country! But for the sake of the people in the world and for our Great Zhou to be able to last forever! I have to ruthlessly make this heart! You must do this king!"

By the time he talked about this, Chai Lie's eyes were already red. Although he was usually strict with the princes, he was indeed a good father and loved his children very much.

After touching his forehead, Chai Lie asked, "Emperors, do you know what the true meaning of being a king is? Or how to be a good king!"

Chai Yi thought for a while and hugged his hands, "Reply to the words of the father, my son believes that if you want to be a good king, the people must be the heaven, take the people as your responsibility to live a good life, and protect the country and protect the family! In addition, you cannot have any selfish desires, and you must try your best to restrain it, because our selfish desires are the burden of the people. Perhaps just because of our little selfish desires, some people will give their lives for it! The king should regard the people as the heaven, the country as the family, and share the joys and sorrows with the people! Together prosperity, prosperity, prosperity, hardships, advance and retreat together!"

Chai Lie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yi'er's answer is at the point, but it is not comprehensive! Your fiefdom can actually be regarded as a small country. You must have a high level of wisdom and ability to govern the country, and carry out some wise establishment, create systems and systems suitable for your fiefdom, and then you can operate according to the prescribed track. The Great Zhou Dynasty had just been established, and the system was not perfect, but the father's ability was limited, so this country would still give it to you in the end!" Chai Lie felt very sad when he thought of this. He focused on governing the country for many years, but did not find some of the struggles around him. When he woke up, his rights were gone.

"With a perfect system and economy, there will be no deviations without accidents!" Chai Yi had a deep understanding of Chai Lie's words. Just like in real history, there was a period in which when Dayu was the emperor, Dayu, as the "Emperor", went to control the flood himself and ran around the country all year round, and had no time to deal with government affairs. But even in this case, the country can still operate as usual, which is the result of the operation of the country under the improvement of the system.

Although there is a system, the emperor still needs to work diligently. Instead of sitting in court all day long to listen to politics, issue imperial edicts, approve memorials, and play with the model of concubines. You can manage the environment and rush to the front line as soon as possible when encountering problems. Be humble and polite, be kind and loving to the people. From time to time, you can lead the ministers to go deep into the people to solve all inconveniences and difficulties in life for the people, and do it yourself. Other matters have been handed over to the "national system" to operate naturally. There will be a group of people going according to regulations. When cultivating successors, you can hand them over to trusted ministers and serve as princes and tutors. You can also take the princes to visit the people and let them personally experience the people's feelings. You are their best teacher.
