"Wrong and right, cure the chaos......" Xiao Mu whispered the two sets of words that Lin Yi had just said to himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, being an emperor is of course not comparable to being an ordinary person, as long as the world can be ruled and the country does not evolve into troubled times, even if it is a success, and in this great era, the right or wrong of a certain person or some people in a certain two specific things often does not affect the overall situation, just like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, although he deliberately killed a lot of heroes in his later years, but more than 200 years have passed, and when he is evaluated in history, he is undoubtedly still a generation of Ming Jun." Lin Yi explained further.

"You also said that Zhu Yuanzhang is the Ming Taizu, how could someone in the Ming Dynasty say bad things about this Taizu, of course, he should be rated as a generation of Ming Jun." Although Xiao Mu said this, he actually knew that he was just drilling the tip of the bull's horns and raising the bar with Lin Yi.

"Okay, then let's change an example, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are also murderous, and there are countless wrongful killings, I don't know how many people died when Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, and Sima Qian, who was famous for his essay millennium material, was also punished by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but what is the historical status of these two in the end? Undoubtedly, it is still a 'generation of heroes', and the reason for this is not because they ended the 'chaos' and brought 'governance'? ”

Lin Yi's words directly revealed the essence of politics in a sense, and it was deafening to Xiao Mu, so that he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally said leisurely, "Obviously, you have told me the crux of the problem, but I still can't let go, it seems that I am really not an emperor material." ”

"How can there be so much material to be an emperor?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "Don't look at me telling you the truth, but in fact, if I were to be put in your position, I would be just as depressed as you." ”

"Right? You also think that this Ningyuan mutiny is very depressing, right? Obviously, Lin Yi's last sentence of sympathy resonated more with Xiao Mu than her previous profound thoughts about "right and wrong" and "chaos control", "Yuan Chonghuan finally beheaded a group of leaders of this mutiny, and his approach was also not wrong, but when he turned his head and thought about it, the original intention of the leaders of the mutiny who were beheaded by him was just to get their salaries back, so what's wrong?" ”

"So being an emperor is also a chore, you can't make everyone benefit, especially on the eve of such a troubled time, it is already very difficult for you to delay the arrival of troubled times." Lin Yi also sighed and said, "If you think about it, Li Zicheng's Dashun army, which finally destroyed the Great Tomorrow, wasn't their original intention also to be able to eat a bite of food in the year of famine?" So what's wrong with them? ”

"yes, what's wrong with them?" Xiao Mu muttered to himself again, "And what is wrong with Chongzhen in the original history exercising his power as emperor and sending troops to crusade against these peasant rebels who gathered for breakfast because they couldn't eat?" ”

In the end, Xiao Mu thought of an even more heavy fact, "In the end, whether it was the peasant rebel army that was not wrong, or the Chongzhen court of the Ming Dynasty, which was also not wrong, both sides were doing the right thing, but in the end, they were all destroyed, and in the end, they were replaced by the Qing soldiers outside the Guan. ”

"Therefore, there is no way to simply measure the Ningyuan mutiny by right and wrong, because everyone has his own reason, so you can only retreat to the next best thing and change to another standard to investigate, that is, 'governing chaos', it is obvious that launching a mutiny is to take chaos, and Yuan Chonghuan killed a group of leaders of the mutiny, which is what he must do to govern the army, and resolves the possibility of a mutiny that further causes a series of problems." Lin Yi said, "According to this standard of 'governing chaos', all the problems will be clear, as for the original question of 'right and wrong', I am afraid that it can only be left to the morally perfect God, or the Buddha to consider, as a human being, even as an emperor, simply using 'right and wrong' to judge things, is undoubtedly very extravagant, but also very unrealistic." ”

"You and I are time-travelers, accustomed to living this luxurious and unrealistic life in the afterlife." Xiao Mu opened his mouth and said - it is obvious that the "luxurious life" in his mouth does not represent how superior the living conditions of the modern society in the later generations are, how high the material level is, but an abstract concept, which is what Lin Yi just said, using "right and wrong" to judge things, Xiao Mu continued, "Just like our modern society, at least in theory, the company employees go on strike after they can't get their wages, or directly sue the company to court, and the government will not take it from ' From the perspective of "peace and chaos", helping companies to suppress protesting employees will also punish such illegal companies that violate the rights and interests of workers, at least on this issue, our modern society is more able to judge things by 'right or wrong'. ”

"So?"

"Therefore, as a traverser from the later generations, it is undoubtedly very difficult and challenging to accept the evaluation criteria of the current Ming Dynasty's 'rule in chaos'." Xiao Mu finally explained.

"You can take this as your ultimate goal as the Ming Emperor, only when society has developed to a certain degree of development, can people consider the problem more from the perspective of 'right and wrong', rather than being forced and helpless to look at the world from the perspective of 'rule or chaos'." Lin Yi spread her hands, and the implication of her words was also very obvious-that is, the set of modern society in the future would not work in the environment of Daming, and Xiao Mu could only regard it as a fantasy goal.

"Judging from the issue of the Ningyuan Mutiny this time, if you still can't accept the evaluation criteria of 'ruling chaos' for a while, then you can only retreat and use another method to convince yourself." Lin Yi continued, providing Xiao Mu with another temporary plan.

"How to convince myself?" Xiao Mu asked.

"That is to understand those mutiny leaders who were killed by Yuan Chonghuan as those who are unruly on weekdays, accustomed to bullying others, and may even take advantage of the mutiny, burning, looting, and fishing in troubled waters everywhere." Lin Yi replied, "I'm sure that such a person would not exist in such a chaotic situation as a mutiny. ”
