Chapter 676 Zhu Biao Explains Values It can be said that values ​​are the compass of life and the pillar of the soul. Zhu Di was inspired and fell into deep thought. Deep in his heart, he has always had a strong desire to control the Ming Empire, but so far, he has not found a force to drive himself and others. Lin Che's explanation made him realize that only by establishing correct values ​​can they truly guide them to achieve great goals. Prince, what are the elements of establishing correct values ​​today, Mr. Lin said? Zhu Di asked, Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and his tone revealed that he was confident. To establish correct values, one must first have firm beliefs and moral standards. Belief can give a person something to rely on and something to pursue. At the same time, moral standards can restrain a person's behavior and ensure that he does things in accordance with justice and conscience. Zhu Biao continued. Secondly, establishing correct values ​​also requires clear goals and pursuits. Rulers should take the interests of the country and the people as their own responsibility and strive for it. Only by using this as a criterion can the governance of the rulers become a respected authority. Zhu Di simply clenched his fists and became more determined. He understood that as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, his goal was to reward a prosperous and strong country where people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He could only do this through the guidance of correct values. Lin Che also conducted a case analysis today, using specific stories to illustrate how the correct values ​​​​drive people to do things. He told the story of an ordinary farmer. Due to the lack of clear values ​​​​and pursuits, this farmer only took making money as his only goal, and as a result, he lost himself in life. Until one day he heard a story about a hero who fought for the interests of the people. He was deeply inspired and changed himself from then on. Zhu Yuanzhang was fascinated by this story, and his mind was full of thoughts. He began to think about whether his governance was always centered on the interests of the people and whether he had found the correct guidance and driving force. After the lecture, she had plenty of time to think. Finally, Zhu Di stood up, his eyes firm, and said silently: Mr. Lin’s explanation made me suddenly enlightened, and I understood that only by establishing my own beliefs and moral standards and clarifying my goals and pursuits can I truly put the interests of the people first and contribute my strength to the Ming Empire. Zhu Biao also stood up with a conscious smile on his face. As Mr. Lin said, only by establishing correct values ​​can we truly guide others, influence others, and achieve the goals we pursue. The explanation of Tio Ningguoling Tea Polyphenols made them understand that what is needed to govern a country is not only power and wealth, but more importantly, correct values. Only with the right values ​​can one become a great monarch and lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity. Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face. He realized that his pursuit of power and wealth could not bring real satisfaction. The leader's explanation made him understand that he should make positive contributions to the Ming Empire and put the interests of the people first. He was determined to find his own values ​​and lead the Ming Empire to prosperity. Lin Che's words made him understand that he must persist in his beliefs, adhere to moral standards, and always focus on the interests of the people. After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, he passed on Lin Che's ideas about values ​​and how to use values ​​to drive actions to the ministers the next day. It was the first time for the ministers to hear Zhengyan's theory, and they all felt that it made sense. The atmosphere in the court was warm and tense. All the ministers were present, waiting for the appearance of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Now, he had an important new concept to convey to the ministers. In the middle of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang wore a zun and a gorgeous yellow robe, and sat solemnly on the throne. He glanced at the ministers, smiled slightly, and said, "My dear ministers, I have recently gained a concept about values, which is about how we drive our actions. I would like to share it with you." The ministers in the hall were curious. The news of Zhu Yuanzhang's reforms came unexpectedly, and this time it seemed a little different. Zhu Biao also wanted to know what new ideas Zhu Yuanzhang had. Although he was the crown prince, he always maintained a cautious attitude and thought alone about how to bring greater benefits to the court. Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and saw Lin Che moving, so he immediately stopped him. Zhu Biao, can you explain Mr. Lin's values ​​​​in detail to the ministers? Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile. Zhu Biao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to let him teach so suddenly. He quickly regained his composure and said happily, "Your Majesty, I am willing." Applause broke out in the hall immediately. The guests looked at Zhu Biao expectantly. After all, he was a well-known wise minister and prince who had never disappointed anyone. Zhu Biao stood on the steps in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at the ministers. "My dear ministers, the concept of values ​​is not unfamiliar in our society, but how to apply it to our lives and how to use it to drive our actions are issues we need to think about." The ministers in the hall listened attentively. They were waiting to hear more detailed introductions about this new concept. Zhu Biao continued confidently, "In my opinion, everyone has their own values. Unlike personal wishes and desires, it is a deep-rooted and very stable belief and attitude." Values ​​are our criteria for the meaning, pursuit and judgment of life, and are also the basis of our relationship with society. Therefore, we should use values ​​to drive our actions. The ministers looked at each other and nodded, thinking that what Zhu Biao said was very reasonable. Taking this palace as an example, Zhu Biao continued to give examples and said that this palace has always regarded benevolent government as this palace's value. What this official pursues is an equal, just and harmonious society. It is this belief that drives this palace to be meticulous in government affairs, responsible to the people, and pursue the common interests of the monarch and subjects. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Biao standing on the steps with approval. He clearly saw the firmness and sincerity flashing in Zhu Biao's eyes.

Zhu Biao did not just stay at the conceptual level, he continued to tell all the ministers that everyone has different personal values, which is the result of our independent thinking and perception of the world. As leaders in maintaining national governance and development, we should encourage everyone to establish and practice their own values, believe in their own choices, and be responsible for them. The ministers listened with fascination, and each of them seemed to be inspired and his thoughts were racing. Zhu Biao looked at the ministers and slowly added that with firm values, we can make decisions when facing difficulties and challenges. (End of this chapter)
