Ye Feng knew that Xia Yimo was wrong, or why Xia Wuyan wanted to kill Jiang Yunhe.
I think back when the order to promote talents was issued, although Yangming Academy had no achievements due to its weak strength, after all, a young talent from the academy died because of it. There was no credit but hard work. Logically speaking, rewards should be given, but the reward and punishment system has been clarified in the order to promote talents. If you participate in the exploration of the secret realm, even if you just come back safely, you can obtain an official position in the court. If you can make great contributions, you will be rewarded based on your merits, and you will be promoted to a higher position.
Because for unknown fields, if you can come back alive with a little information, it will naturally be considered a credit, but it is just a small credit. If you can bring back important information or even chance treasures, you will be rewarded based on your merits, and it is even more appropriate to be promoted to an official position.
However, there was no compensation for dying there. Such regulations may seem heartless, but they are actually sentimental.
Just imagine if you are faced with an unknown and dangerous place where you have a near-death experience. If you die inside, people outside will benefit. So from the perspective of human nature, what do you think will happen? I think you can guess it, that is, there will be countless small sects that are keen to send all the disciples with poor cultivation qualifications to die in order to seek benefits. This is because the Juxian Order only stipulates the minimum number of people for one person, but there is no upper limit.
The reason why the Juxian Order did not reward or compensate those who died inside was to protect those who were weak and poorly qualified. After all, they were also monks. Even if the Daxia Dynasty did not treat the common people as human beings, it still regarded the monks as Very human.
Therefore, in reality, some provisions of the law may seem unreasonable, but in fact they have an underlying logic to protect the vast majority of the weak. For example, why rape cannot be punished with the death penalty. Because once the death penalty can be imposed, there will be no difference between killing women and not killing women at crime scenes. Then criminals will almost without exception kill people to silence them in order to protect their appearance and information.
Not imposing the death penalty may appear to be lenient to criminals, but in fact it is a compromise made for the lives of the weak from the perspective of human nature.
So do you understand this logic?
Therefore, Yangming Academy lost a well-qualified disciple without any compensation, which was a helpless move.
However, considering the glory of Yangming Academy at that time, we couldn't really give nothing, we could only give it quietly in private. In fact, when senior brother Jiang Yunhe was taking the official examination and competing for positions, his results were not outstanding. Because he only had hard work and no talent, but in view of this, the Emperor of Daxia still gave priority to hiring Jiang Yunhe.
Although the death of Yangming Academy's third senior brother did not bring any benefits to Yangming Academy at the time, it also benefited future generations, and Jiang Yunhe was one of them. So Mei Jiu was absolutely right when she said Jiang Yunhe was ungrateful.
And Ye Feng also knew this, so Ye Feng didn't mention Jiang Yunhe's death to Xi Ruo. Anyway, he didn't kill it himself, and he didn't know anything just now.
And Ye Feng also knew very well the reason why that girl Xia Yimo killed Jiang Yunhe.
The Emperor of Daxia kept Jiang Yunhe in the first place, which was at least a little compensation for Yangming Academy and a psychological comfort. But now Yangming Academy has great win-win value because of Ye Feng's existence. And this Jiang Yunhe refused to die and provoked Yangming Academy, which was equivalent to provoking the dean Ye Feng, and Ye Feng expelled Jiang Yunhe in person.
Keeping Jiang Yuhe now would not only bring no benefit to Daxia Dynasty, but would also cause great harm. Then Jiang Yunhe would have no choice but to die. At the same time, this was also Daxia Dynasty's attitude towards Ye Feng. So Xia Yimo is really, as Ye Feng said at the beginning, a very powerful and complicated woman. But think about it, without this decisiveness and thoughtfulness, how could he have been the emperor for 10 years without being discovered by Luo Qingyuan?
If you want to say it, isn't it Ye Feng's fault?
Then I just want to say: Hello! Hello! Hello! Have you reached the point where you don't distinguish between right and wrong in order to blackmail others?
Do you know what it means to be innocent?
On the contrary, the basic logic of Huaibi's crime is the logic of banditry, did you know?
Suppose I want to gain your favor, so I kill your enemies. Looking back, I suddenly say to you, you are responsible for the deaths of these people. What is the logic of this if it is not a bandit?
If you knew about this before I killed those people, then at most you would feel a little sorry for me and have no idea about the enemy at all. You didn't know about this until I finished killing them. Don't you think it's incredible if I tell you that you are responsible for the deaths of these people? If you even agree with the latter, then you will have countless inexplicable responsibilities and blame placed on your head.
By the way, Ye Feng only found out that Jiang Yunhe was dead after Xia Yimo killed the person.
Also, bandit logic is not without merit. In this world of the weak and the strong, if you want to have bandit logic, no problem! But the premise is that you must have the strength to be a robber. Because it is extremely stupid for a weak person to think like a bandit, and it will get him killed.
. . .
In fact, this question has a simpler basis for thinking, which is what Ye Feng proposed: "Good things depend on the heart, bad things depend on the behavior." Murder is a bad thing after all, it depends on the behavior, whoever did it is responsible, it has nothing to do with what he had in mind!
The reason why such a long-winded situation occurs, which takes a long time to explain clearly, and also causes a lot of unnecessary mental internal consumption, is the evil consequence of "bad things must be judged by the heart".
The above discussion once again verifies the correctness of the idea that "good things depend on the heart and bad things depend on the behavior." But at the same time, it also reveals the limitations of "Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind" in practical application.
In this aspect, Ye Feng's "heterogeneous" thoughts are more excellent than Wang Yangming's thoughts. This is a fact, not a quibble.
First of all, we have to admit that Yangming’s Theory of Mind is a great ideological milestone, but it still has flaws. But it is precisely the existence of these flaws that gives future generations the opportunity to take a closer step, so that ideological philosophy can progress. Just like Einstein proposed the theory of relativity based on the shortcomings of Newtonian mechanics.
In the movie "Private Customization", Uncle Ge You would rather donate one billion than his car because he really has a car. In the same way, the protagonist's IQ in other cool novels is overwhelming and invincible. It is a joke among readers because it is a false "one billion" that does not exist.
But the heterodox thought in "The Rebellion of Mortal Immortals" is not, it is "the real car". In the novel, it surpasses Yangming's philosophy of mind, and it also surpasses "Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind" in reality, and it surpasses almost all real readers. Because "The Rebellion of Mortal Immortals" is not only a novel, but also a philosophical book. This is also its most remarkable and most idiosyncratic aspect.
