Zhao Yucheng's rhetorical question left Su Haisheng speechless.
He opened his mouth, thought over and over again, thought about it, thought about it, tried his best to think about it, and found that it seemed to be true.
Zhao Xiang was the patriarch of the Zhao family at the beginning, and to get rid of Zhao Yucheng, he also brought a group of so-called "elders" of the family to kill Zhao Yucheng, who was determined to reform and work hard to clean up the corruption within the Zhao family's Restoration Army. Yucheng was forced to step down and was placed under house arrest.
Zhao Xiang was the patriarch of the Zhao family at that time. It was he who ended Zhao Yucheng's ideal reform and promoted Zhao Yucheng's awakening.
He stubbornly believed that everything he did was for the good of the Zhao family and the long-term survival of the Zhao family, so he captured Zhao Yucheng and put Zhao Yucheng in prison.
If you put it this way, Zhao Xiang, the feudal patriarch, is really a bastard, then he...
Su Haisheng was a little panicked.
Zhao Yucheng delivered a critical hit.
"Back then, before Zhao Xiang put me under house arrest, he was using the same banner, saying it was for my own good and for the good of the entire Zhao family. Now that I think about it, isn't that just a shameless and selfish bastard who is seeking benefits for himself? At the same time, do you want to cover yourself with a fig leaf?"
Su Haisheng still wanted to struggle.
"This...this can't be confused, right?"
"Why are they confused?"
Zhao Yucheng frowned and shook his head: "Brother Haisheng, you should really review this matter. If the feudal patriarch only targets one family, the destructive effect will not be so great, but if it targets several provinces, With hundreds of thousands or millions of people, the problem would be huge.”
Su Haisheng swallowed.
"Do you really think what I'm doing is like a feudal lord?"
"I don't know the specific things, but your thoughts obviously have this tendency."
Zhao Yucheng looked at Su Haisheng seriously and said slowly: "Why are you dissatisfied? The chairman works for the people from the standpoint of the people, safeguards the interests of the people, and protects the political rights of the people. This is a very correct thing.
Brother Haisheng, weren’t you the same way back then? Aren't I like this too? We didn’t understand anything at first, did a lot of stupid things, and almost lost our lives. The chairman taught us how to learn it step by step. How were we different from these people’s representatives in the past?
There is no difference between us, it’s just that we learned early or late. Even Confucius back then knew that there are successive professions and specialties after hearing the Tao. People can learn if they don’t understand it now, but if they use the excuse that they don’t understand it now as an excuse, they will make a lot of money. Lan Lan, or even not letting them learn, Brother Haisheng, this is not a good thing. "
Su Haisheng was speechless.
He wanted to refute, but he had no position to refute at all. He clearly realized that he actually had this tendency in his thinking. He felt that the people did not need to learn at all, and he could just know it. Anyway, he would always serve the people.
He has confidence in himself.
But when Zhao Yucheng said this, he suddenly wavered in his previous confidence.
"I corresponded with the chairman in the past and talked about this matter. The chairman once told me that the old dynasty used to call the people subjects, which was a very bad concept and he was disgusted."
Zhao Yucheng patted Su Haisheng on the shoulder: "In the old days, from the rulers to the people, there was a very bad habit, which was to just have children, regardless of whether the children were good or not, as long as there were many, and regardless of whether the children would become talents or not. If you have too many, you can always be lucky enough to produce a successful person.
When a successful child finally emerges, they hold their heads high, pat their chests, and say that this is my blessing. There is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves, etc. They also know that they have not been educated, and the child's success is probably due to his natural talent. Facts aside, is it the seed that came out of my crotch? How can it turn the world upside down?
The people treat their children this way, and the imperial court treats the people under its rule in this way. They use the term "subjects" to make themselves a king and father and appear to be gentle and affectionate. Basically, they don't treat them as human beings.
When the children of peasant families grow up to seven or eight years old, they become free labor for their parents, and the rulers treat the people the same way. To put it bluntly, the old dynasties in the past had a typical patriarchal mentality, treating children as their own unjust debts or blessings.
If a child fails to become a child, it is an unjust debt, a punishment from God, but if the child becomes a child, it is a blessing to them. They never treat their children as human beings. If they do not treat them as human beings when they are young, they will not be able to be human beings when they grow up.
We criticize Confucianism, and we don’t like Confucius who wants to go back to the past, but Confucius is still right in some ideas. He said that punishing without teaching is cruel and unkind. People don’t understand government affairs, not because they are born stupid, but because they are incompetent. People teach people that they are incompetent without education. Isn’t this just the mentality of everyone? "
Zhao Yucheng spoke a great truth, which left Su Haisheng dumbfounded and his head in confusion.
After a while, he shook his head with a depressed expression.
"No more, no more, I'll go back and think about it, think about it..."
With that said, Su Haisheng touched his head and turned around to leave the banquet hall, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
Zhao Yucheng frowned as he looked at Su Haisheng's retreating figure, as if he had thought of something.
For this reason, he had no intention of continuing to force Xu Tong to get married. He took the opportunity of toasting to listen carefully to the comments of some central representatives in the small circle around him. An hour after the dinner ended, he decided to come and talk to Su Yonglin. this matter.
He talked about this matter with Su Yonglin alone, told Su Yonglin what Su Haisheng said to him, and then talked about what he heard during the toast in the banquet hall.
Regarding some negative views of central representatives towards the People’s Representative Conference.
After hearing this, Su Yonglin didn't seem surprised.
"Yucheng, I'm very happy that you can come and tell me this matter. In fact, I don't find it strange about the Haisheng issue, because maybe before the People's Congress was held, many central representatives felt that their proposal was already It’s a done deal.”
"First Evolution"
"I thought so before, but I didn't think it was right."
Zhao Yucheng said slowly: "Did you spend so much effort and energy to convene the People's Congress just to go through the motions? I don't think so. Facts have proved that I was right. You really Did the right thing."
"You think what I did was right?"
"Of course, the ideals of our revival have always been like this. I have never doubted this."
Zhao Yucheng smiled and said: "The only thing I have a problem with is that I feel that some too specific and professional matters are not suitable for voting at this meeting."
Su Yonglin smiled.
"Yue Jing has said this to me before, and I think it makes sense. After he told me about it, I also felt that it was necessary to correct it. After all, this is the first time, and you have no experience. Without experience, everyone is groping forward, retaining what is suitable and not retaining what is not suitable.”
"That's the best thing you can think of."
Zhao Yucheng nodded, then showed a worried look on his face, and said slowly: "As for some central representatives having doubts about the People's Congress, as far as I can guess, there are probably two states. The first state Similar to Brother Haisheng.
They are the kind of people who support the revolutionary cause, but on the road to realizing their ideals, they want to take the lead or even take over everything, just like parents who teach their children strictly, or the kind of strict teachers. The mentality of being a great disciple is good in intention, but the method is inappropriate. "
Su Yonglin was a little surprised, and then felt pleasantly surprised. He looked at Zhao Yucheng with interest and asked with a smile: "What about the second one?"
"The second possibility is not so good."
Zhao Yucheng whispered: "I heard some people talking secretly, and I felt that you came all the way to toss them. They thought they were here to discuss national affairs, but in the end, although they were indeed here to discuss national affairs, they let the people's representatives steal the spotlight. Grabbed them all.
They feel that these matters should be decided by the Central Representative Conference and then implemented, but they also add a system of the People's Representative Conference in the middle. This is purely to make themselves unhappy. They are dissatisfied with the system itself. "
