Chapter 388: Right or Wrong
So Xiao Mu suddenly heard the unanimous answer of "the emperor is wise" from Lai Zongdao and others, but Xiao Mu was not very happy with the flattery of his courtiers, because this "emperor is wise" is really expensive, even if he is a mountain of gold and silver, he can't withstand a few such "emperor wise" occasions.

Solved the legacy of the Ningyuan mutiny, Xiao Mu finally couldn't stay in the cabinet duty room, just today, he learned that Concubine Tian was pregnant and Ning Yuan mutiny, Xiao Mu was really not sure, he continued to sit in the cabinet duty room for a while, is there any place where there is an earthquake, where there is a flood, where someone rebelled and something like that, in short, Xiao Mu can be sure that he has been staying in the cabinet room. Sooner or later, I will be driven crazy by so much bad news from all over the country.
But after leaving the cabinet duty room and escaping to learn about the bad situation everywhere in the country, Xiao Mu remembered his original intention of coming here, which was to avoid thinking about those ethical issues that can never be figured out, all in all, whether he is on cabinet duty or not, there are troublesome things, and there seems to be no essential difference to Xiao Mu. Moreover, Xiao Mu regretfully found that now he not only had to worry about Concubine Tian's affairs, but also felt heavy by the matter of Ning Yuan's mutiny that he had just learned.
Xiao Mu walked around aimlessly, and when he regained consciousness, he realized that he had habitually walked to Lin Yi's dormitory again-"We have to meet sooner or later, and it's not a way to hide all the time, since we're all here, let's go in and have a look" Xiao Mu said to himself.
In fact, this is not because of how brave Xiao Mu is and how he mustered up the courage, but because he has almost walked to the door of Lin Ye's bedroom, and even Lin Ye's personal palace maid Chuan Er has seen him and entered Lin Ye's inner room to report, so even if Xiao Mu wants to leave, it is actually impossible - this is the most critical reason why he has such a "positive and open-minded" idea just now.
Then, following the previous practice, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in Ringo's bedroom were all sent out, including Ringo's personal palace maid Chu'er.
However, what surprised Xiao Mu a little was that after Lin Yi saw him, he didn't say a word about Concubine Tian's pregnancy, but asked directly, "Let's talk about it, what is wrong with your Jiangshan Sheji?" ”
Lin Ye's words were like an uncertain prophet, Xiao Mu could be sure that even if Lin Ye really formed her own news network in the harem, it would be impossible to know about the Ning Yuan mutiny that the cabinet had just dealt with so quickly, so obviously, Lin Ye's question was undoubtedly her own speculation, and her guess was still very accurate.
"How do you know something is wrong?" Xiao Mu subconsciously asked, of course, the focus of this sentence was not the question itself, but Xiao Mu's unintentional behavior to express his surprise.
"Do you still have to guess?" Lin Yi replied as a matter of course, "If it weren't for you, the emperor's Jiangshan Society, something wrong, how could you come to me?" ”
In fact, Xiao Mu felt that Lin Yi's statement was not accurate, and he came to her completely because of the result of aimless habitual walking, not because of Ning Yuan's mutiny. But when he turned his head and thought about it, Lin Yi was indeed right, after all, if there was no incident of Ning Yuan's mutiny, then he would definitely continue to sit in the cabinet room, and he would not have come to her.
So Xiao Mu acquiesced to Lin Yi's statement, "There is really one thing, and although this matter has been resolved, it still makes me feel very depressed." ”
"Since you are depressed, then say it and listen to it, what is it that makes you unable to figure it out?" Ringo asked.
"That's the ......" So Xiao Mu gave Lin Yi a rough explanation of the content of Yuan Chonghuan's recital, that is, about the causes and consequences of Ning Yuan's mutiny, and the final way to deal with it, and then said in a summary manner, "Yuan Chonghuan has put down this mutiny, and I have also allocated 600,000 taels from the inner treasury to pay the military salaries of Ning Yuan's soldiers." ”
"So, at least compared to the disaster relief in Zhejiang and the Zhao'an in Fujian, this matter has been resolved, so what is it that makes you feel depressed?" Lin Yi continued to ask, after all, Xiao Mu had just described the whole incident, but he didn't say where he felt depressed.
Xiao Mu then asked, "The most depressing thing about this matter is that don't you think that there seems to be no one who is really at fault in the whole thing?" In other words, in this matter, it seems that everyone has his own reasons for what he does, and it seems that everyone is doing it right, at least there are no heinous and crazy characters, but in the end it has caused serious consequences......"
"Aren't those soldiers and soldiers who gathered a crowd to make trouble the fault party for this incident?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "If they don't make trouble, how can they have those serious consequences later?" ”
"But they haven't been paid for months, and can you imagine that the company you work for doesn't pay you for months, and you have to work hard every day?" Xiao Mu also asked rhetorically, and then continued to express his helplessness, "So, I don't think there is really anything wrong with these chaotic generals; Similarly, Bi Zisu is not at fault, he has been to the court nine times in a row to ask for a silver salary, but the court has not responded, the rebellious soldiers will tie him up and ask him for military salary, this is no longer a 'royal family is not strict' category; finally, the imperial court's household department Shangshu Bi Zisu, who manages money and grain, is not at fault, after all, Bi Ziyan is his own brother, and it is reasonable for him to allocate silver salary to Ning Yuan, but he can only sit idly by, and in the end, isn't it because the treasury has no money at all? ”
"So?" Ringo asked.
"So, in my opinion, no one is wrong about the whole thing, but why did everyone do the right thing and end up with such bitter consequences?" Xiao Mu did look very depressed, and this matter, as well as the ethical issues that had been bothering him, seemed to be able to crush him at any time.
Lin Yi's next words directly explained the essence of his question to Xiao Mu: "You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so your identity has been decided, when you consider the problem, you can't care about 'right and wrong', but only about 'governance and chaos', otherwise, there will always be a lot of similar problems to plague you in the future." ”
