288. Convincing and agreeing
Elrondra stopped her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info: "You've made your decision, and you're going to make the emperor pay?"
"Yes. The future emperor must be punished for the improper control of his biological mother. Honorable wise man, if Thranduil acted as if nothing had happened, wouldn't it be another indulgence to the future human emperor, and you would be satisfied if he had been indulged to the point where he was as fearless as Helana?"
"Of course I didn't mean that. For the sake of him being just a child, forgive him for his mistakes. Although Elrond himself thought this statement was a bit ridiculous, he chose to convince the other party first with reasons that did not stand up to scrutiny. Elrond's most important concern, Elrond didn't intend to say.
Vernorr smiled and withdrew his hand. "In addition to being a child, he is also a human emperor who holds the imperial power of mankind. A king's wrong decision will cost the lives of countless living beings in vain, not to mention the human emperor? Elrond, I can understand your compassion for the common people. But you and I both know that as long as any living being bears royal power, it must not make a mistake. From another point of view, it is also a kind of education to let the emperor accept the wrong punishment. ”
"But...... But I'm worried about you!" At this point, Elrond could only throw out the most important reason. "I'm afraid you'll feel guilty one day. Guilty used the trick you hated most, and Guilty had to do things that hurt other creatures in order to help Thranduil fulfill his vows. ”
The perseverance that was finally piled up with the worst assumptions was finally shattered by the words of the wise man. Yet, even though he had been read by a wise man to understand his true self, even though he had been moved by the words of concern and trembled, Vernol held back the tears that oozed from his eyes with astonishing perseverance.
"Thank you for your concern. For all these years, you have been the only one who has said such things to me. After taking a deep breath, Vernoll smiled helplessly. "From the moment I followed King Orifell into the Woodland King's City, I knew that if I died, I would be a ghost forever. Nemu (Mandus) will never give me a judgment of the flesh. Because no matter what I do, I always have to do a lot of things that hurt other living beings for the sake of kingship. Harming other living beings, for whatever reason, is sin. An elf burdened with countless sins, how could Villanemu let me regain my physical body? But what if I foresaw the future? Guilt or self-blame, it was my choice. Even if he chose to follow the king, even if he was injured and died, he could only do things to hurt other creatures in order to assist the king. In the matter of Valandil, Thrandir immediately said it, and naturally he could not let him lose his trust in the whole of Middle-earth. ”
Squatting on the ground with his mouth covered, Vernor said with a choked voice: "The disaster on the plains involves too many living beings. If you don't teach the Emperor enough lessons, I'm afraid that in addition to his hatred of the Woodland Kingdom, he will maliciously misinterpret King Serdan and Lady Galadriel. Do you know that King Serdan and Lady Galadriel gave an objective judgment on the disaster of the Plains from the point of view of the unity of the righteous camp, and King Serdan even sent a letter to Jomedi. If Valandil insisted on blaming the Glades for Essidor's death, the war in the Great Green Forest would not be a big deal. The most terrifying thing is that King Serdan and Lady Galadriel's support of the Woodland Kingdom in the first place will be nailed to the definition of "evil", and even the two of them will be forever infamy. Didn't Helana just say that King Sedan was secretly colluding with Zhong Medidi?I would never let the two virtuous beings risk being injustly infamous because of the Woodland Kingdom, even if it was just a risk!" (The content of this passage can be reached in Chapter 325 - Yang Qing and Suppress the Turbidity Aftertaste)
"So you've made up your mind to make what Thranduil said to Hirana true, and to serve as a wake-up call for the future Emperor?" Elrond sighed, crouching down to meet the woodland advisor. He was tempted to tell the other party that he had some foreboding. The tormented elf gave him a glimpse of the future, even though she wasn't doing it for herself, and years later she would blame herself and die of her wounds. The only thing that puzzled the wise man was that he could not fail to foresee what would happen after the death of the other party. Elrond thinks that he is not very good at predicting the future, so he cannot accurately predict what will happen in the future, but he does not know that it was his and the Elven King's actions at that time that kept Vernor from dying.
Of course, that's all for later. Speaking of which, the wise man understands that even he himself cannot tolerate Serdan and Galadriel being misinterpreted by humans, not to mention persuading the female elves. Most importantly, the wise know very well that gentle teachings combined with meaningful wake-up events are the true meaning of the rapid growth of living beings.
Maybe it's really as she said, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for the future emperor. As long as there is no internal war, no one has the right to prevent the Elven King from maintaining his majesty.
"Now that you've decided to do it, forget about it later. You should be ......" After a pause, Elrond said to Vernor, who looked up, "Just for the Elven King's justice." He really didn't deserve to be insulted by a maid. ”
What else can you do if you don't say that? Could it be that the female elf in front of you will die of excessive sadness one day in the future?
"It must not do too much harm. Before parting, Elrond reiterated again. To his surprise, the woodland advisor once again left him speechless with an unrefutable reasoning.
She said: "If Valandil's successor, the Empress, is unable to control the generals who wield military power, then the Woodland Kingdom will only give him some minor troubles. If, under your teaching, Valandil had immediately brought the generals to their knees and seized the real power of the kingdom of Arnor as soon as he succeeded to the throne, then with his strength, ordinary warnings would have no practical effect. I think Thranduil will take into account the actual situation and give the emperor a heavy or light beat. And my position is the same as yours, not to harm innocent people, not to produce bloodshed. The most important thing is not to let the forces of the righteous camp be weakened by this. I'll always be by Thranduil's side, reminding him of the scales. ”
For now, at least, both elves believe that the situation can be reasonably managed. In the future, the human emperor will get the price he deserves without being overly harmed. But they are elves after all, and even if they have had more contact with humans, and even have lived with humans, they still underestimate the human desire for power, and also underestimate the wisdom of the elven king eight years later.
