"Who else knows about this matter?" Xiao Chen knew after reading a few letters that it was of great importance.
"After Duan Yu told me the address, I went there by myself. No one lived in that courtyard and no one was looking at it. I climbed over the wall and entered. No one knew except Duan Yu and me... That's what's in these letters. , Duan Yu has never seen it, he only knows a little about it." Lin Qi said.
"Well, why didn't he say it when he was here?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Haha, this kid always thought that I rescued him because of your instigation. He might have other motives. Maybe he just wanted to get these letters out, so he didn't say anything. Later, he found out that we didn't ask him or test him at all. I sent him to Yanyun again, and then I felt relieved." Lin Qi said.
"This kid is a little clever," Xiao Chen said.
"Not much at all." Lin Qi said, "He is still relatively simple and honest... It's just a bit strange that Duan Fengnian didn't explain these letters. It seemed that he also hated Li Feng deeply and wanted to break the pot. ”
"This is not surprising." Xiao Chen said, "He may have thought that he could come back alive and see the emperor, and wanted to discuss these matters with the emperor in secret... His heart is worth killing, and he deserves to die."
"Then what to do with these letters?" Lin Qi asked.
"What do you think?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course it would be cleanest and easiest to burn it with a fire." Lin Qi said, "But if you keep it, it may be useful in the future, but you can't keep it with Brother Xiao, nor can it be handed over to the emperor. In my opinion It's better to send it to Prince Xuanping and let him deal with it."
"Well, who do you think is the right person to send it to?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"Of course it's you, Brother Xiao." Lin Qi said.
"It's better for you to go." Xiao Chen said, "This thing is not very important if it is important. If I give it to him, it would be a bit of a fuss. But it is quite important if it is not important. If you give it to him, it can be regarded as a vote. With this reputation, at least Li Qiu will definitely treat you as one of his own from now on."
"Isn't this important?" Lin Qi's eyes widened, "Although I only read one letter, I was frightened. If it were announced to the world, then..." It would be earth-shattering.
"You silly boy, no matter who gets these letters, they will never be made public!" Xiao Chen said, "The things here are too complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words. In short, we can't do this. If it’s too much, leave it to Li Qiu and let him worry about it.”
"Then what should I say if he asks about the origin of these letters?" Lin Qi said.
"Just say that with the help of Ai Lingxiu, you secretly rescued Duan Yu and sent Duan Yu to Yanyun County. Then Duan Yu gave these letters to you out of gratitude to you," Xiao Chen said.
"Huh?" Lin Qi was surprised, "Can't you say that?"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Chen said, "You can figure it out yourself, why are you asking me about such a trivial matter?"
"This is no small matter..." Lin Qi muttered.
"Some things you think are big and earth-shattering, but in fact they are nothing. Some things you think are small and insignificant, but they are earth-shaking!" Xiao Chen said, "So no matter what happens, , don’t make preconceptions, and don’t rush to make a decision. Look more, think more, look at the present, and think about the future..."
"Huh? Brother Xiao, that's not what you said last time. You said you should be able to make quick decisions when encountering problems. If you continue to make decisions, you will suffer chaos." Lin Qi said.
"Things have priorities. Last time you had to save Duan Yu. Because the matter was urgent and you were still passive, you must make a decision as soon as possible without allowing you to hesitate." Xiao Chen said, "This matter is not urgent now, and it is still You take the initiative, so you can slowly consider the pros and cons..."
"I understand, Brother Xiao, I will keep your words in mind...Brother Xiao, why don't you let me follow you? Don't you think of me as a brother until now?" Lin Qi suddenly asked, "It's still you Have you always suspected that I have other agendas?"
"Then what are your intentions in following me?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Uh..." Lin Qi wanted to follow Xiao Chen, but what did he want? But I never thought about it.
"Then you have been following me for so long, what do you think I have in mind?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"Uh..." Lin Qi had thought about this, but never figured it out.
"I don't want to tell you any big truths, nor do I want to tell you any trivial truths, because many of the so-called truths actually don't make sense at all!" Xiao Chen said, "Just talk about the word 'loyalty and filial piety', is it true?" ? But what exactly is loyalty and what is filial piety?"
"Loyalty means being loyal to the emperor, and filial piety means being filial to your parents." Lin Qi thinks this principle is very simple and very reasonable.
"The Tao is Tao, but it is very Tao." Xiao Chen said, "If a king is ignorant, arrogant and extravagant, imposes excessive taxes, harms the country and the people, and puts the people of the world in dire straits, then do you still want to be loyal to him? Mr. Chen always said something, The country is more important than the king, so is this disloyalty?"
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a prince was about to die, he left a last word to his son, saying that his favorite concubine should be buried for him. According to the principle that parents' orders cannot be violated, his son must obey them. Right? But after his death, his son did not do this, saying that his father lost his mind and spoke nonsense before he died, and there was no need to follow the order. If he followed the order, he would probably ruin his father's reputation during his lifetime... "
"So, what this son did was filial or unfilial?" Xiao Chen said.
"Brother Xiao, I was so stunned." Lin Qi said.
"Maybe I didn't make it clear. What I want to say is that there is no absolute truth in this world, so no one should use reason to measure what a person does. It seems that many things I do have no Reason, but I don’t know that I have my own reason." Xiao Chen said.
"Brother Xiao, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand anything." Lin Qi said.
"I'm not trying to teach you these words, I just said them out of sudden inspiration." Xiao Chen said, "Actually, I don't understand it myself, so it's normal for you to sound confused. Go ahead and go find these things with you. Li Qiu, think about how to deal with it before you go, that guy Li Qiu is also very smart."
Lin Qi put away the letter and came out, feeling confused in his heart. He felt that Brother Xiao's reasoning was really unreasonable...but it seemed to make some sense.
You can't say he is right, but you can't say he is wrong either. So where is the line between right and wrong?
When I came to Prince Xuanping's palace to submit a message to ask for an audience, the palace guards said that you, Mr. Lin, don't bother with this matter. Who doesn't know you? Why do you use a message? The prince happened to have just come back, so hurry in.
"Lin Qi is here?" Li Qiu was in a good mood and was very happy to see him. "It's rare that I am fine today. If you are fine too, please come and have a drink with me later."
