Chapter 48: Whose Rules?
The man and woman who spoke out were Zhou Feiyan and Gao Yuanfeng.
Zhou Feiyan was so angry that her face was full of anger, "Xiaofeng, do you know what you're doing?"
"Yes. Gao Yuanfeng replied casually, "Didn't you just kill two ruffians?"
"What's the matter? Zhou Feiyan glanced at Gao Yuanfeng, jumped into the county government compound from the tree, checked whether Liu Dingshan and Qian Erzhu could still be saved, and said to Gao Yuanfeng: "Is this an ordinary ruffian? This is a registered official of the dynasty." If the people of this newly expanded land are uneasy, they will inevitably be in turmoil, and it will be difficult for them to truly return to our Great Zhou. ”
Gao Yuanfeng jumped into the courtyard and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, the general actually knows the people's hearts." Hey, no, you're talking about the hearts of the people, not the people. May I ask the general, what you mean by the people's hearts only refers to the registered officials, and does not include the common people? Do you think that the people in a county are uneasy only because of the county order? The county order is safe, and the county order is the heart of the county. Is that what it means?"
"Messing around, taking things out of context. Zhou Feiyan reprimanded.
Gao Yuanfeng's flying sword killing was too accurate, Liu and Qian were both pierced through the heart, and the immortals couldn't save them. Zhou Feiyan was annoyed and annoyed, but he couldn't or didn't want to do anything about Gao Yuanfeng, so he pulled out two short swords and threw them back at Gao Yuanfeng. But the reason still has to be said, and he retorted: "I am still wrong? The life safety of a county and county order cannot be guaranteed, and the lives of the people under its jurisdiction can be imagined." When people's hearts are panicked, how can people's hearts be at peace with the people's hearts or the people's hearts?"
Gao Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Let's deal with those little ruffians first, and I'll tell you in detail." Are you coming or am I coming? If I come, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my hand. ”
At this time, the so-called officials who heard the movement around rushed over. It was found that their county commander and the second master of the 'county cheng' were knocked to the ground, and a pair of calm young men and women were arguing with themselves. They didn't know that the eldest and second master were dead, and they didn't know if the man and woman were the murderers, anyway, it was always right to take it first. Regardless of right and wrong, he shouted and pounced towards Gao and Erren.
Zhou Feiyan lost her kindness at this time, and replied to Gao Yuanfeng: "Let's come together." The county orders have all been killed, do you care about the life and death of these minions? Don't let me despise your hypocrisy. In Zhou Feiyan's eyes, the lives of registered officials and minions are obviously not equal. Further, the lives of Liu Dingshan and Qian Erzhu are also incomparable with those of Gao Yuanfeng. So she merely condemned and could not be punished.
Gao Yuanfeng secretly smiled bitterly, he really wasn't ready to kill these minions. Killing Liu Dingshan and Qian Erzhu is of course not to preside over some bullshit justice, let alone for the sake of the people, it is purely selfish to give Zhang Chengan, a loyal minister of the Gao clan who died in vain, a little comfort.
But at this time, if he said that he left the lives of the officials, wouldn't he deliberately sing against Zhou Feiyan. Forget it, kill it. Even if the sin does not lead to death, it will never kill a good person by mistake.
Gao and Erren's martial arts, compared with these minions, are no different from elephants to ants. When these ruffians in the skins of the servants realized that they were beating two tyrannosaurs, there was no time or opportunity to regret it. Three times and five to two, a group of rabble, all obediently lying on the ground and shutting their mouths forever.
However, the two still did not have a quiet environment for arguments, and Liu Dingshan's family, who was alarmed in the backyard of the county government, found out that the 'sky' had fallen. Frightened or sad, crying so earth-shattering and trembling.
Gao Yuanfeng and Zhou Feiyan glanced at each other, but they couldn't do it. invariably flew up and swept out of the county office. Go outside the south gate to meet Lele and Zuo Feng and others who are behind them.
The reason why the two of them suddenly appeared here was due to the whim of Gao Yuanfeng.
At that time, it took Ye Lao almost two full hours to recover a little bit of the vitality that had been lost due to excessive depletion. After the action was unhindered, Ye Lao unceremoniously drove away Gao Yuanfeng and told him not to pretend to be 'disgusting concern' and go to eat quickly.
Gao Yuanfeng would no longer care about Ye Lao's tone, seeing that Ye Lao was fine, and everyone was waiting for him hungry, so he relieved himself to invite everyone to dine together. was congratulated and complimented by everyone, and he was used to fight with Zhou Feiyan and Yun Shu for a while, and he jumped to the Dan stage, Gao Yuanfeng's mood gradually improved.
Unexpectedly delayed for an afternoon, it was dark. There are many inconveniences in camping in the wild, and after everyone discussed, they decided to rush to Hai Duong overnight.
Gao Yuanfeng had a whim, and wanted to compete with Zhou Feiyan for light skills.
His internal force at the moment is not completely unusable, although he has not used the resonance method for an afternoon, he has been using his exercises to repair the damage of the dantian, so as long as he does not explode excessively.
Zhou Feiyan happily accepted, and she also wanted to see if the current Gao Yuanfeng really had the strength of the Chengdan period. So the two abandoned their mounts, each carried a light skill, and galloped towards Haiyang at a speed that surpassed the galloping horse. Lele and the others took their war horses and then chased after them.
Zhou Feiyan didn't expect that the two of them would take the lead and cause the death of the Haiyang County Commander who he appointed not long ago.
Liu Dingshan is indeed not a competent county magistrate, but Gao Yuanfeng is even more unacceptable if he does not tell him. There are no rules. Trampling on the law undermines the foundation of the ruler. As a high-level ruler of the ruling system, Zhou Feiyan is well aware of the importance of strict law.
So the two are still arguing in the gallop.
"Punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, with the right law, the people of the monarch, and the territory of the monarch, although it is far away from the rivers and lakes, it is also worried about the monarch. Sister, I obviously have merit, am I good, what did I do wrong?" this is Gao Yuanfeng's quibbling voice.
Zhou Feiyan was angry, "Phew, you're worried about bullying the king." Ignoring the law, not accusing and sinning, not guilty of punishment, and using force to prohibit it. As soon as this wind opens, everyone is in danger, how can they come to the people of the monarch and consolidate the territory of the monarch?"
Gao Yuanfeng replied calmly: "Sister's words are wrong. In extraordinary times, in extraordinary places, we should do extraordinary things. When is it now? Where is this? What are you going to subdue? If you want the people to recognize the Great Zhou in the short term and live and work in peace and contentment, you need to take extraordinary measures vigorously and resolutely, so that the people can feel the good of the Great Zhou, instead of holding out a magistrate who has intensified his exploitation of the people, making people feel that the Great Zhou is not as good as the Great Qi under the rule. What do you say?"
Zhou Feiyan was stunned by Gao Yuanfeng, hesitated for a moment, and argued forcefully: "That's right." However, it is not in accordance with the law to kill a magistrate without permission. If we do not act in accordance with the law, how can we get the approval of the people? The teachings of the Fa teachings are cloudy: Those who do not follow the law will not listen, those who do not follow the law will not be high, and those who do not follow the law will not do anything. So even though your intentions are good, don't think I approve of it. ”
"Heh. Gao Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Sister, you are so dull and cute, you act by the rules, and you are really an obedient doll." Is this the reason why you became a famous general?"
Zhou Feiyan said: "This is nature. Training, marching, arranging formations, attacking and defending, rewarding and punishing, and even my 'trapping', all have a set of strict rules. Everyone in the army needs to be vigilant, just like a set of sophisticated machines. If the 'machine components' are all acting as casually and cheaply as you, will it not be a mess and the whole army will suffer. How can we talk about attacking everything and conquering all battles, and how can we talk about famous generals?"
Gao Yuanfeng said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. What if one of your components is destroyed by the other party?"
Zhou Feiyan rolled her eyes, as if she disdained Gao Yuanfeng's ignorance, "Before the war, you will naturally make all kinds of plans, and you can implement them according to the rules." “
"True gods and men too. Gao Yuanfeng exaggerated and ridiculed, "The sage cloud, the wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake." My sister never thought about mistakes, and she should be called a man of God. “
Zhou Feiyan was so angry that he wanted to fight. Gao Yuanfeng smiled and lowered his head to avoid it, and as soon as he jumped over, he carried the floating light glimpse technique, connected the dots on the city wall with his toes, and easily jumped onto the city wall. Compared to the first time he climbed the city wall by floating light on that day, his skill and proficiency were countless times stronger.
was about to turn around and pull Zhou Feiyan up with a ribbon, but found that Zhou Feiyan had his own stunts. Luck poured into his feet, stomped his feet, soared, and jumped up more than two feet high. Grabbing a dagger in each hand, the dagger was inserted into the gap between the wall tiles and continued upward with the help of the upward momentum when the upward momentum was about to end. With both hands in turn, the gecko is like a gecko, and it will climb to the top of the wall in a short time.
Zhou Feiyan followed and flew up. Looking left and right, there was no one. I don't know if the city diners were not on duty at all, or the city guards went back without permission. couldn't help but sigh secretly, Liu Dingshan was indeed incompetent. But she still doesn't think that she was wrong to appoint Liu Dingshan as the county magistrate, and the reward for meritorious deeds is determined by doctrine and law. As for Liu Dingshan's incompetence, he has his own relevant laws to punish him.
Galloping horses in the dark is easy to accidentally injure the horse's hooves. Therefore, Lele and the others saw that they couldn't catch up, so they simply slowed down their horses, lit torches, and rushed here at normal speed. Finding that the torches were still far away, Zhou Feiyan pulled Gao Yuanfeng to sit on the city wall, "Just wait here." “
Gao Yuanfeng smiled, "Sister, I'm going to train my little brother well." “
Zhou Feiyan didn't deny it, and said earnestly: "Yuanfeng, since you have joined my command, this kind of casual nature really needs to be changed." Doctrinal cloud: Punishment does not avoid ministers, and rewards are not spared. If someone else is present today, even if you are my brother, you will not be able to escape from the charge of murder. What are you going to do with me then?"
Gao Yuanfeng also restrained his laughing demeanor, and said with a straight face: "Since my sister has a heart-to-heart, I won't go around the bend." Tell me the truth, do you want to fight for succession? “
Zhou Feiyan took a deep breath and was silent for a while, as if she had made up her mind, "Before I met you, I really didn't dare to think about it." Now, if you can help me wholeheartedly, I'd like to try. “
"Good. Gao Yuanfeng agreed: "If you don't want to fight, I still regret taking refuge in you, the future is limited." Maybe many of your cronies and subordinates have this idea from me. Let's not talk about that for now. I ask you, is it in keeping with your so-called doctrine or law to fight for inheritance, to deny your father's appointed heir?"
Zhou Feiyan was stunned, stunned for a while, and said hesitantly: "The two can't be generalized." “
Gao Yuanfeng said again: "My Xiang's mother and the old dog in Lilong City have exceeded the rules, but Han Siduo will not be held accountable, is it in accordance with the rules?"
Zhou Feiyan hesitated: "Compliance." Didn't Lord Helm say that the Lord's order would not be investigated?"
"Exactly. Gao Yuanfeng approvingly: "The key is in the edict and not in the rules." To put it bluntly, whether it is a doctrine, a law, or a rule, it is all set by people and can be changed. It's not that I'm unruly, it's up to whose rules it is, and it's even more important to see who is making the rules.
I took refuge in you because I wanted to help you become the one who broke the existing rules, and the one who made the rules for others to follow. If we keep abiding by other people's rules, what are we fighting about?
Don't tell me that you haven't heard the relevant rumors, and don't tell me that you have no idea about Han Siduo's strange words and deeds in the past few days, as well as the strange behavior of Lin Yuan and Wu Ying. If you continue to abide by other people's rules as you should do your duty, there will only be one result, that is, you will become a pawn or stepping stone for others to achieve fame. Do you say?"
Zhou Feiyan was stunned and speechless. The heart is overturned, ups and downs. The general, who was stabbing horizontally and horizontally on the battlefield, was panicked and timid at this moment. At this moment, she really woke up to the fact that the 'fight' she was thinking about in her heart was not just about strength.
A person who has lived in a particular environment for a long time will naturally form his or her inherent thinking. Suddenly to break his mindset and show him a whole new world, the one who accepts it is almost non-existent. The fear of the unknown is the same for everyone. The difference is only there, some people retreat in the face of difficulties, some people hesitate to make a decision, and some people boldly explore.
Zhou Feiyan is not a good girl. After witnessing several sisters becoming tools for marriage, and the marriage was very tragic, they were unwilling to accept the inherent trajectory of fate, so they went to the battlefield. She had a chance to capture the great merit of capturing Luodu, but she deliberately went around the city and attacked Qidong. Because, in Luodu City, there is her second sister Zhou Feikite, a woman with a very miserable ending.
Zhou Feiyuan first married Gao Zhan, the king of Qi, as a bargaining chip to settle the disputes between Zhou and Qi. A few years later, Gao Zhan was killed by his brother Gao Yuan usurping the throne. Zhou Feiyuan was forcibly occupied by Gao Yuan again. In a few more years, Gao Yuan was deposed by the ministers because of his violent and murderous nature. Gao Yuan's eldest son, Gao Yan, was embraced as a puppet.
Zhou Feiyuan and his biological children were imprisoned along with Gao Yuan. It is said that Gao Yuan committed suicide because he was not abused, and the truth cannot be tested, and he died anyway. After Gao Yuan's death, the lives of Zhou Feiyuan and his children did not improve in any way, and they were extremely poor, and they could be described as poorly clothed and hungry.
The excuse of Zhou Guo's war this time is the so-called grievance for Zhou Feiyuan. But once Qi Du is captured, Zhou Feiyuan's life will not be extremely Tai Tai? In addition to her own return to China, her children will be killed. Since she endured humiliation and survived, it was naturally for the sake of her children. How are you going to get rid of her last cares now, and how can she live?
But this is one of the unspoken rules, the necessary means to guard against the resurgence of the remnants of the old country will not change because of Zhou Feikite's specialness. Zhou Feiyan couldn't do it, so he gave up the great work of destroying the city and destroying the country to Brother Wang, the son Zhou Cang. For this matter, Zhou Hui and others complained a lot.
It was based on the tragedy of Zhou Feiyuan and other sisters that Zhou Feiyan faintly bred the intention of competing for the throne. I heard that all women are in power in the snowy region, not to mention that there is an example of Emperor Lifeng in front of me, which shows that women may not be inferior to men. But there is almost no force in the country that can help her, and she has to hide this unrealistic idea deep in her heart.
The unexpected encounter with a high wind made this intention possible in terms of strength. Because once Gao Yuanfeng's identity is recognized, the power behind it is very powerful. Therefore, the heart is inevitable. But she has never thought deeply that in addition to strength, this 'fight' also needs to break a lot of shackles.
In this dark night, with no one on the city wall, Zhou Feiyan, under the guidance of Gao Yuanfeng, couldn't help but think back on the past and examine himself, only to find that deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to abide by other people's rules. Well, I was convinced by you. However, it is already bold for him to fight for the position of the son of the world, and Xiaofeng seems to think far more than that.
The big changes mentioned by Gao Yuanfeng, Zhou Feiyan has always subconsciously refused to think about it. Because once it comes true, it will be like a mountain overturning the sea. Zhou Feiyan was sincerely scared.
She hesitated. Gao Yuanfeng is in a hurry, eldest sister, don't give me back.
