The late summer nights are not cold, and the wind still carries a little heat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info night market has gradually dispersed, leaving only the lights crackling in front of the houses. Ye Daiwan was protected by Xie Xuan, and she couldn't see Dou Niang's expression. It's just that the air was so heavy that her heart fell to her stomach pouch.

A little reluctant to come up.

Because of the misfortune he once encountered, he couldn't help but blame fate and society, as if he could no longer draw a beautiful painting on the drawing paper with ink dots, which made people angry. When anger rushed up, no one could stop Ye Daiwan from speaking. She walked in front of Xie Xuan, raised her face to stare at Dou Niang, and asked word by word. "Are you saying that there is no cure for this country?"

"Yes. Faint kings, corrupt officials, families, robbers, natural disasters...... The country has long been rotten. What if it's an empress? Ye Daiwan keenly heard the unusual pause in her words when she said the word empress. Fifteen years ago, the Empress. Thinking about Dou Niang's age again, she had lived in the era of Emperor Chengmin.

When it comes to empresses, the first thing that comes to mind is Emperor Wujing, who created a woman to inherit the throne. Her era was fierce and fierce, because of the war, both men and women, desperately survived in order to survive, it was an era of the supremacy of force.

And then there is the talented Emperor Wen Hui. At that time, there were many talents, the stars were shining, and the Great Wei under the rule of Emperor Wen Hui was the most powerful of all the countries in the north and south. It was a time when no matter what kind of talent was discovered, it was appreciated.

Emperor Chengmin was inferior to the first two empresses in terms of force and talent, and her stories were often more fragrant types than historical progress. But it is undeniable that everyone who lived in that era can't help but miss it. Whether it is a woman or a weakling, they can find a place in society. They can work hard for their lives and reap equal happiness. It was a happy, hopeful time.

Compared to force and talent, hope is still more difficult to get. What's even more painful is that this era is finally over. As long as people will die, Emperor Chengmin reigned for fifty-five years, and he was already the emperor who reigned for a long time in the history of the Great Wei. But just as the first year of Changde was followed by 55 years after Tianyou, the era of the great empress finally came to an end.

And the era that represented hope also came to an end.

Emperor Ping Yang, who succeeded to the throne, was a very cautious eye, and he did not let go of anyone who had offended him, even if it was a small thing as big as a sesame seed. Dali Temple, who had advised him not to interfere with the clan, was collectively reduced in salary; The Ministry of Works, who had impeached him in the era of Emperor Chengmin, was exiled; The maids who had not been cleaned on the roads he had passed were beheaded for public display.

Blood reveals the truth that happiness has passed, but it makes it difficult for people who are immersed in the past to accept. Who can walk in the sunlight and be content with the light of a fluorescent lamp? That kind of warmth and inner touching are absolutely irreplaceable by false reality. Perhaps Emperor Pingyang was not a complete faint monarch, and his governance could not be said to be a mess, but after eating the best food, not many people could tolerate the flaws in the food.

A cynic like Damselfly is just one of them. For others, this is earth, but for those who have seen heaven, it is nothing but hell.

The reality without a future is indeed a terrible hell of a nose.

"The Empress won't be any better. Whether a man or a woman is a monarch, what can she do with only desperate people? Ye Daiwan thought that she was desperately trying to find information from the mountain-like scrolls, spending several days and nights analyzing it, but in the end, it was often useless. It's as if all the hard work she's done has been in vain. How is it possible not to be angry?

"Is it the people's fault that they are persecuted by robbers and corrupt officials? Is the inaction of the imperial court all to blame on the people themselves not working hard enough? Bean Lady shouted angrily. Didn't they work hard enough? Even his life was sacrificed, but what was the result? Amusing. "If that's the case, what's the use of asking the court? What is the use of this country? ”

"Do you understand what the word country means?" Ye Daiwan has calmed down. She is not facing a family that fights her for profit, nor is she an assassin who tries to slash her with a sword. She was facing the people of Great Wei. This is a question from ordinary people who are extremely disillusioned with the country. "The country is above, and the home is below. This is not the detached state from the family. It's about building a country. What a nation is is nothing but a family of thousands of people who share a belief. ”

Bean Niang was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She wanted to retort loudly, but she couldn't help but listen to what Ye Daiwan said.

"It is not that the court is above the people, but that the court is established out of the needs of the people. Just as you once organized a brave army, you are their leader, showing them the way and sheltering them. But it's not because you're nobler than them, it's just that you have the ability, and they need to have you. Isn't it? ”

Yes. The damselfly has hated its existence countless times. But she never explored why it existed. It is as if the court and the state have existed since the founding of heaven and earth. But if that's the case, why?

Will there be a change of dynasty? She had never thought about this kind of problem until Ye Daiwan woke her up.

"The people are the cause, the meaning, and all the value of the existence of the state. A country can be without money, without weapons, or even without land, but it cannot be without its people. A country that loses its people is the one that really dies. Ye Daiwan lowered her voice, she did have a lot to say, but she knew that she couldn't speak too fast, that would interrupt these people's train of thought to follow her. And you say that there is no cure for this country and that you want to abandon it. That's really ridiculous. Because it's yourself who you're giving up. ”

"Not true. Wrong...... If it is as you said, then why are there still corrupt officials, why are the people's cries still ignored, and why are there families and poor families! In the midst of rapid thinking, Dou Niang finally thought that she had caught the flaw in Ye Daidu's logic. She asked Ye Daiwan loudly, but she was also questioning herself who had loosened up in her heart. Don't be stupid, she's just a lobbyist sent by the Empress, and sharp teeth are the norm. Don't be fooled.

Ye Daiwan smiled, because she knew that this meant that Dou Niang had begun to agree with her concept. "Because people are always stupid, they can only see the race in front of them."
