At the meeting of elders, the ancestor of Yingying almost announced that he had handed over the real power of family management to Ying Ruyu. This was just like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang letting Prince Zhu Biao supervise the country. In fact, all I have to say is, I abdicate and leave the rest to you.
In fact, the winner’s ancestor did this just to let Ying Ruyu understand what a real person in power is, and also to let her understand two truths:
First, as the leader of a family, you must learn to use both kindness and power. In terms of "grace", Ying Ruyu has done a good job. But there is a lot missing in "power", which means "punishment". When dealing with outsiders and enemies, Ying Ruyu is persevering and ruthless, and decisive in killing. She is a malleable talent. But Ying Ruyu is too kind to his own people. He can only "benevolence" but not "power" and not "punishment". As everyone knows, the people in this world who can hurt you the most or even kill you are often the people close to you. The more dangerous a person's situation is, the more likely it is that someone you trust will stab you in the back.
Second, the world is never so beautiful. Where there is sunshine, there must be shadows. The more you yearn for the light, the more you must embrace the darkness.
Nowadays, the three super ancient clans, the Gu clan, the Ying clan and the Yanshi clan, are known as the pillars of the righteous path. But in fact, which one of the three major ancient tribes is qualified to say that they are clean? Who has done less shady things than the other? The ancestor of the Ying family felt that instead of directly telling Ying Ruyu the darkness behind the family, it would be better for her to face those darkness directly. After all, if you teach others, you won't be able to teach; if you teach people, you will learn it once. That's why the ancestor asked the elders to tell Ying Ruyu all the evil things they had done in private before going into retreat.
You must learn to accept this gray and chaotic world where black and white coexist. There are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world. Whoever has achieved great things in ancient and modern times has not been able to call the shots between good and evil, right and wrong?
To govern a family, or even a country, as a qualified person in power, one must understand one truth - when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples.
When we sit down and discuss Taoism, what we are arguing about is nothing more than the word "principle", but people in the world still don't understand it clearly, and doing big things is much more complicated. Many times we know it is a good thing, but we cannot do it until the time comes. We know it is a bad thing, but we still have to endure it for a while.
Being smart is a good thing in this world, but being too smart is not. As a qualified person in power, if you see some things, you should pretend you haven't seen them, and if you hear some words, you should pretend you don't hear them. Everyone pretends to be peaceful, and as long as the bottom line is not touched, everyone will perform their duties, treat it as true harmony, and then seek common development. Otherwise, it will only make you more tired and may cause greater trouble.
And this one is "If you are neither deaf nor blind, you are not worthy of being in charge!"
. . .
The narrator said: Ye Yu, didn’t Ying Ruyu, as you mentioned before, become the head of the family and the person in power? In this case, why would Ying Ruyu risk his life?
Ye Yu said: First of all, you have to understand what the person in charge does? To put it simply, when it comes to making decisions about important matters related to the development and future of a family, it must be decided by the family. Only he has that right and responsibility. As for those trivial matters, they will naturally be handled by the standing elders. After all, even if he is the First Emperor, do you think he will rush to do the work that the county officials do? Everyone has a different division of labor
What is most important to the Ying clan at this moment? Naturally, the Gu clan has become too powerful. Originally, the Gu clan, the Ying clan and the Yanshi clan, although their strengths and weaknesses were different, basically maintained a three-legged relationship. But now the Ying clan has joined the lap of Ye Feng, a mortal civilization, and has become a dominant family. At this moment, let alone the Ying clan uniting with the Yanshi clan, even if it unites all the family forces except the Gu clan, all the ancient clans plus Even one of them is no longer a match for the Gu clan today. This is the most important thing
So in the face of such a major matter, Ying Ruyu, as the acting head of the family, naturally has to deal with it personally. Of course, killing Ye Feng is the fastest way, but there should be other ways, such as marriage, inducement, cooperation, etc. But all this must be based on understanding Ye Feng, and what wins Ruyuque is the opportunity to observe and understand
So this time is a rare opportunity. Regardless of the fact that in order to get off to a good start, Ye Feng will definitely try his best to make this exploration of the secret realm a success. However, no matter how dangerous it is, the victory will still come.
. . .
So, Ying Ruyu asked Aunt Jing, "Aunt Jing, what do you think of that person - that is, Ye Feng?"
As soon as Ying Ruyu finished speaking, Aunt Jing was stunned for a moment. Her mind was a little hard to turn around for a moment. She opened her lips slightly and looked at Ying Ruyu with wide eyes. She didn't know what to say?
Ying Ruyu was also surprised when she saw Aunt Jing's expression. She just asked Aunt Jing what kind of enemy she thought Ye Feng was and what the weaknesses of such an enemy might be.
Suddenly Aunt Jing said: "Miss, I can say it, but you have to promise me not to be angry."
Hearing this, Ying Ruyu also smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Ying Ruyu thought that Aunt Jing would say something like how Ye Feng was so powerful and invincible. In that case, she naturally couldn't be angry. After all, facing up to the opponent's strength and one's own weakness was the prerequisite for defeating the opponent. Otherwise, you If you don't even know the difference, how can the weak defeat the strong?
So Aunt Jing said: "Miss, you are the only one in my life who is gifted in cultivating immortals. You are hardworking and determined, so you can reach the realm of refining the void at a young age. And Miss, your appearance is as beautiful as a banished immortal. Falling into the mortal world, it is so beautiful that anyone who sees it will feel ashamed.”
This time it's Ying Ruyumeng's turn. Aunt Jing, I asked you to evaluate Ye Feng. Why are you evaluating me? No, are you praising me?
I heard Aunt Jing continue: "Therefore, Miss, you are such a peerless genius, there is almost no man in the world who is worthy of you, and that Long Changge is naturally even less worthy of you."
Aunt Jing paused and continued: "Only Ye Feng, who has done such shocking and earth-shattering deeds, is qualified to be worthy of you."
Ying Ruyu blushed instantly, and she finally understood what the problem was. It turned out that Aunt Jing thought she was asking her whether Ye Feng was worthy of her, and it was really a cross-channel chat. So he hurriedly explained:
"Aunt Jing, I didn't mean that. I was asking you what weaknesses you think Ye Feng has that I can use to defeat him."
Although it was a cross-channel chat, Aunt Jing did not look embarrassed, but sighed and said: "Miss, when your mind is full of thinking about how to defeat him, you can't be far from the situation I mentioned. Far"
Hearing this, Ying Ruyu was really stunned this time.
