On the way back, Ye Feng and Yingying held hands and walked on an uninhabited path in the park.
The surrounding environment is soft and quiet. The dusk sun has put away its harshness at noon and becomes like a gentle woman, caressing the people returning home through the gap between the building and the leaves. The evening wind blew across the lake, weeds, and flowers silently
Ye Feng and Yingying walked side by side in silence, seeming to enjoy the moment of peace. Perhaps for Ye Feng, peace and tranquility are what he wants most, but think about it, he is an old man after all.
Suddenly Yingying said, "Feng, I may not have a valuable dowry in the future. After all, I am no longer the queen."
Ye Feng was stunned when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Yingying, who had turned away and was worried. Ye Feng held the weak little hand in the palm of his hand with a little more force, so as to be able to encourage the other person. At the same time, Ye Feng was gentle. said
"You little fool, you believe that kind of lie?"
Yingying hurriedly turned her head and said, "Then you lied to me when you said you wanted to marry me for the dowry?"
Ye Feng smiled and said as he walked: "It's half true and half false. It's a lie for the dowry. Because I think that liking someone means simply liking someone. Why should it have anything to do with anything other than herself? If I If I like someone, I will like him even if he is a penniless beggar. If I hate someone, I will also hate him even if he is an emperor with gold and silver."
Ye Feng did not continue, because there was no need to say anything else. Since the dowry was fake, then marrying Yingying would naturally be real. Otherwise, where would the half-truths come from?
While Yingying's cheeks were slightly red, she also heard the implicit meaning of hating someone, so she asked: "Feng, do you hate my junior sister Ying Ji?"
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "I don't know, it's just a feeling of not wanting to see her and being anxious."
Yingying sighed and said, "That's what I hate. Is it because of her methods when she succeeded to the throne? She didn't even spare the old, weak, women and children. Do you think she did something wrong, so you hate her?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "She didn't do anything wrong. Besides, liking this kind of thing has no direct relationship with whether you do something right or wrong. If you do something right, you may not be liked by others, and if you do something wrong, you may not be liked by others." Being disliked by others”
Ye Feng paused and sighed, "In that situation, Ying Ji actually had no choice. The reason why I could choose to let the old and weak women and children go is because I am strong and I have ways to deal with the consequences of the old and weak women and children in the later stage." The trouble comes, but just as people can't be selfish enough to think that everyone is selfless, I can't be so self-righteous that everyone can do what I do. So Ying Ji didn't do anything wrong. With her identity, ability and In terms of the environment
"What's more, judging whether something is right or wrong is a very subjective matter. Different perspectives may lead to different conclusions. Therefore, it is even more impossible to correlate the right or wrong of something with likes and dislikes."
"Miss Ying Ji first came to power. At that time, the court was already too big to fall back. In order to consolidate the imperial rule, such bloody methods were necessary. The more serious problem at that time was the loss of popular support. Corruption was common in both the government and the public. In addition, The actions of the second prince and Gong Sunyu made the people of Qin no longer trust the court or the royal family. If Queen Yingji had delayed for some time, the result would have been uprising everywhere. By then, the entire North China would have been devastated. , more people died, and most of them were common people."
"So Yingji must use thunderous and bloody methods to kill chickens to scare monkeys. The bureaucrats in the court arrogantly thought that they were monkeys, and would only select a few chickens from among them to kill for them monkeys. But what they didn't expect was that : The bureaucrats in their court are all "chickens", and the people of Qin are the monkeys. Just as they thought before, the "chickens" must be killed thoroughly to serve as a warning to the monkeys, but they did not expect that they would be completely killed. It's just a matter of killing yourself. Therefore, people in the bureaucratic class or those with interests in it naturally think that Ying Ji is cruel and intolerable. However, among the people, they are very supportive of the new queen, saying that she is upright and courageous, and she has worked hard to govern. For the sake of Mingjun”
Ye Feng said and looked at Yingying with a smile, which means, Yingying, you are not a wise king.
Yingying hugged Ye Feng's arm hard and said angrily, "Damn it, I'm not a fool."
"I know. You are not a foolish king. You are a benevolent king, but you are not a wise king. At this moment, what Yongan needs is just a wise king, not a benevolent king." Ye Feng said
"Those corrupt officials deserve to be killed. There is nothing to criticize. The key to the success of the matter lies in the treatment of the old, weak, women and children. I said before that with the strength of Ying Ji and the court at that time, if the old and weak were not killed, It is difficult for women and children to cope with the revenge of the intricate forces that it secretly triggers. At that time, the Qin State will still be in chaos, and more people will die, far more than the old, weak, women and children who were spared. Therefore, the change of location Even here, I will choose to leave no chicken or dog behind. After all, the old, weak, women and children in front of me are only a minority, and the people in North China are the majority. Ying Ji just made the most correct choice that a wise king should make. No one can accuse her, and no one has the right to accuse her."
Yingying asked strangely: "Then why do you hate her?"
Ye Feng glanced at Yingying and smiled bitterly: "Whether it is the majority or the minority, they are all human beings. One person and millions of people are equally important in my eyes, and there is no difference. Even if the final answer is the same, You can't ignore the minority, and you must realize that what I give up is as important as what I protect, which is people. But when Ying Ji made her choice, she directly ignored the minority and went directly to the correct majority. I see this very clearly
Ye Feng silently looked at the road ahead and walked: "From the perspective of the continued survival of the race, she has done nothing wrong. She does not make too many hesitations and decisively makes the most suitable choice for survival. Only then is she a qualified leader. A competent emperor, so Ying Ji did the right thing, just like me, the devil king of the thousand-year demon world. In fact, what I really hate is not Ying Ji, she just made me see what I used to be, so I Instinctively, I am anxious and want to leave. After all, the only person I really hate from beginning to end is myself."
Hearing this, Yingying lowered her head in shame and said, "Ying Ji is actually cleaning up the mess for me. She could have avoided doing these things that make you hate her."
Seeing Yingying's lost and lovable look, Ye Feng hugged Yingying into his arms.
Yingying didn't struggle, she just lowered her arms, but she heard Ye Feng say in her ear: "I can't decide other people's likes and dislikes, but I can decide my own. I will send a text message to apologize when I get back, and I won't hate her anymore. Okay." "Yingying"
"Yeah" Yingying finally smiled and hugged Ye Feng, feeling his warm embrace.
