Chapter 196: Chaos

"In retrospect, the dynasty that overthrew the short-lived rule of foreign nations, after the country settled down, also found various reasons to abolish the power and exploits of several prestigious military attachΓ©s and generals, in order to maintain its own rule and that of future generations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info formulated strict laws and moral standards, put an end to the dictatorship of the harem and the yellow robes of the military generals' subordinates, and continued to continue the civilian rule of the previous dynasty! ”

And the group of sensual civil officials, after the ruler reused himself, began to create all kinds of power organs to restrain the power of the ruler, of course, the nominal supreme ruler is naturally not a fool. In order to fight against the civil bureaucracy that threatened their real power, they began to abolish certain organs, and like some later monarchs of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, they reused the eunuchs around them and let them hold huge power, and then gave birth to the situation that eunuchs were born to grasp the power, and even the decrees of the emperors of the early dynasties could not be conveyed, just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed the crown prince and asked them to nod and kill the emperor with the eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty! Long live the emperor, there are eunuchs who once called themselves Chitose! As a result, some monarchs had to unite with the civil clique to jointly seize power from the eunuchs; The emperor, civil officials, and eunuchs seized power in a balanced manner, and in this way, they snatched the whole country like a toy! At the time of the final foreign invasion, this group of extremely emotional people is still repeating this game of power struggle! And among them, the generals and generals who should have threatened their status in the emperor's heart, those generals who should have led the army, naturally have not had the capital that can worry the emperors! ”

"The civil servants who elevated the chastity of women to the level of more important than human life, but they themselves have always lingered in the place of shameless brothels~ in their eyes, and even proud to have some relations with some of them~ prostitutes! The words and poems are continuous, and the self-proclaimed romance is passed on as a good story! But according to their moral standards of starvation and intemperance, shouldn't they force prostitutes~ women to commit suicide to keep their chastity? What are you going to do in a brothel~ house? Punch yourself in the face? ”

Besides, one of the most incorruptible officials of that dynasty reprimanded his five-year-old daughter for eating a cake from a servant, saying, "How can a woman accept a manservant's cake casually?" You're not my daughter! If you can starve to death, you'll be my daughter!" The little girl was so frightened that she cried incessantly, did not eat or drink, and finally starved to death after seven days! In that era when women's chastity was greater than heaven, from this point of view, this official with a group of wives and concubines, was he a good person or a bad person? Was he doing the right thing, or was it wrong? Is his daughter innocent? Does he have a face for a pear blossom pressed begonia? Or rather, who are we to blame? Sympathize with whom? ”

"There are also Qinhuai Bayan, the eight talented and famous actors on the banks of the Qinhuai River, in the last years of that dynasty, many of them were noble ladies who fell into the middle of the family. They are in an era when women are virtuous if they are not talented, but they are not inferior to those so-called talents in terms of talent! In the same way as about loving their motherland, they are also a hundred times nobler than those talented scholars who are full of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world! ”

Liu Ruyi, the head of the Eight Yans, is devoted to Qian Qianyi, a party leader and a well-known writer. The latter then became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the remnants of the imperial court. Soon the foreign enemy army went south, and when the soldiers came to the city, Liu persuaded Qian to throw himself into the water with him to martyrdom, but Qian was silent in thought, and finally went down to the pool to try the water, and retreated on the grounds that "the water is too cold to go down"! Liu's "tried his best to sink into the water", but he was forced to stop him, and then Qian surrendered to the enemy with a shy face. Qian surrendered to the enemy army and went to the enemy's capital, while the Liu clan stayed where he was! ”

"And before this dynasty, the so-called foreign barbarian court that was the first to dominate the Central Plains, and the last battle to destroy the so-called civilized dynasty that experienced developed military backwardness, was the martyrdom of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians!"

"On the other hand, in the dynasty that re-established the orthodoxy of the Han people, the civil officials who surrendered to the alien race were definitely redundant military generals! As a result, after the Central Plains was once again enslaved by foreign races, it was enslaved, educated, and ruled for hundreds of years! It is ironic that those Han Chinese who surrendered were forever listed as second ministers by the foreign rulers they threw into their arms! The Han people have since become their bloodless and staunch house slaves! ”

"All day long the law state is on their lips, they are cloaked in the cloak of reason, but inside they are hypocritical villains full of emotion!"

"The civil government that gradually took shape in later generations, and the rulers imperceptibly enslaved and educated for their own world. After living like this for hundreds of years, do you think that after being corrupt at the top, the whole country is still bloody? What the upper echelons believe is that they can get by and live happily, no matter when the flood is raging after I die! ”

"There is no China after Yashan, there is no Han people after Yan officials, and there are Tatar slaves after Jiashen!"

"You think it's just half a boring limerick poem that doesn't pay attention to anything?"

"Again, the extremely rational side. If we say that in the distant future, in the era of highly developed social civilization, human psychological states and personality tendencies can be vividly and concretely tested, just like an examination test. All human feelings, desires~desires, spirits, dark psychological tendencies, etc., can all be rationally detected and recorded by a tool created by human beings. Under the management of this tool, human beings aim to achieve and maintain all good results. This rational tool will comprehensively judge whether a person is in a healthy growth state based on the various data monitored by itself, and at the same time independently determine each person's ideal job, the most ideal future, as well as various complex feelings, psychological pressures, and mental states based on these data results, and even judge everyone's possible criminal intentions in the future; Then, on the basis of these judgments, it is decided whether to consider those people as potential offenders who have not yet committed crimes, and on this basis it is decided what kind of "corrective" punishment should be imposed on them, or even the kind of preventive execution death that prevents them before committing a crime! Even though sometimes they have not made a mistake at all, and at the same time ignore the possibility of their possible repentance, the opportunity to mend their ways, ignore the most complex and changeable human minds, and order the enforcers to erase them by a rational rule! What do you think of such extreme rationality that ignores the complexity of human beings? ”

"After learning all the way through such a mess, do you think I will choose to stand on the side of the hypocritical sensibility that is distorted and changed at all times only for my own benefit? Or is it the kind of ephemeral and ephemeral that forces his daughter to die, or is it the pure emotionless and extreme rational side? Sun Dao lay there, trying to maintain a calm tone like a lake mirror during the conversation, trying to be unhurried and unhurried, while following the logic of his own thinking.

"So you decided to make a difference between the sensibility and the rationality?" Leaning closely against her husband's back, Empress Eldest Sun lowered her gaze and placed it on Sun Dao, who pretended to explain coldly but her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"I can't tell the difference" Slowly shaking his head, Sun Dao was still indifferent, and there was a deep confusion in his words that he hadn't revealed yet, "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, this sentence can make up for everything." Before the Battle of Yashan, after the literary prime minister was captured, he lived since ancient times, who did not die, and left Dan to take care of his sweat and green aspirations! Qian Qianyi's dynasty, once the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the enemy soldiers came to the city, and they did not effectively flee all the way like the orthodox previous dynasty, and they were in a safe corner! A civil official who was ordered to be ordered in danger personally commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to carry out the famous Battle of Kyoto, repelling foreigners, turning the tide and writing a heroic and glorious page in Chinese history! The kind of data tool used to detect human beings can indeed solve the absolute majority of social contradictions, and solve those contradictions that rely on human beings to make efforts that are still somewhat unsatisfactory and unsuccessful for the time being! In every reason that can overturn the two only choices of reason and sensibility, there will be many special cases that can refute one's own point of view! I can't tell the difference at all, let alone how to classify them and how to draw the line! ”

It's rare to talk at length like this, I don't like to talk too much to people like this, and I'm not used to being like this, so Sun Dao's lips gradually became a little dry. But it didn't matter much, he licked his slightly chapped lips, and began to babble nonsense again, "I've heard that there is a disease called idiocy." There's another disease, which you call madness, and we call it mental illness. It is a disease that is abnormal under the influence of environmental and social factors, some functions of the brain are dysfunctional, resulting in different degrees of disorders in mental activities such as cognition, emotion, will and behavior. In our time, there was a lot of research on this kind of disease, and we even cured many of these patients. So can you imagine what it would be like when a normal person is misdiagnosed? ”

"One day you were sent to a psychiatric hospital because of an abnormal behavior of joking with others, so you started to panic, and you started to explain to the doctor, and you kept trying to prove to the doctor that you were not mentally ill, that you were just joking, and said a lot of absolutely normal things and generally accepted judgments, how do you think the doctor would judge? They will tell you that you, as a family member or friend of the patient, will of course think that the patient has nothing to do, and that all this is just a misunderstanding, but in the eyes of those who specialize in psychiatry, it is already clear from the patient's every move that everything he does is a typical symptom of the disease. They will tell you that the patient will try to prove that he is indeed a normal person, and that a normal person will not; Because they don't have to prove themselves at all, normal people always think that they are normal, and they have no reason to prove themselves at all! Only people who are sick know that they are abnormal, but they are unwilling to admit that they are sick, so they will constantly prove to others and constantly look for ways to prove that they are normal people."

"Makes sense, doesn't it? But let's start all over again, after that person was sent to a psychiatric hospital, because he remembered that no matter how he proved that he was an absolutely normal person, he would eventually be treated as a mental illness, so he behaved like a normal person from the beginning, and his living habits, life rules, common sense, and so on were no different from normal people, so do you think doctors and experts will determine that he is not mentally ill? How can it be? They will tell you that it is all obvious, how can a normal person not be thrilled when he is locked up as a madman for no reason? How is it possible to do nothing and live like a normal person? It's obviously not normal! Makes sense, too, doesn't it? ”

"The last time we returned to the original point, although research on mental illness has begun, the mentally ill are still a minority; So is it possible that these psychiatrists are also deliberately exaggerating in order to gain more income for one more patient? Just like sometimes some doctors will prescribe some medicines that are only available in their own pharmacy and are harmless, so that patients can only pick up medicine in their own pharmacy, because people are more or less selfish. What's more, no matter what era it is, there are still precedents for doctors to deliberately treat patients only half in order to make more money, so as to keep patients coming to see a doctor."

A long paragraph of words came to an end here, Sun Dao turned his head sideways and looked at Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun who were leaning on each other over there, but he was slightly stunned. It was as if she was going back to that time of her own, imagining that she was imprisoned in an unknown mental hospital because of some kind of behavior that was different from ordinary people, and she was looking condescendingly at herself through the glass that could see herself, but she couldn't see herself, looking at the strange place in front of her, looking at the little panic she might have, looking at herself to finally behave like a normal person, and finally hearing the verdict of a psychopath set by the expert for herself, what choice would she make? Is it to bear but resolutely accept the "facts" and leave yourself for treatment until "recovery", or to firmly believe that you are not sick and must take yourself away regardless of it?

"A scholar once conducted such an experiment, and he arranged for eight normal people to go to various psychiatric hospitals. These normal people are admitted, observed, and diagnosed, and even though they behave like normal people in the hospital, they will eventually be discharged with a diagnosis of "mild schizophrenia" "After recovering from his boring imagination and reining in everything, he just looked at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun who were silent over there" So he came to a conclusion: With the current diagnostic standards of psychiatric disease, there is no absolute evidence to prove whether a person is a healthy person or a mentally ill person"

"So, from what you know so far, do you think I'm a psychopath?"
