Chapter 404: Walking into the Sun (1)
Chen Fei lived in the base of this bad guy for three days, and he was familiar with the base of the bad guy. In the past three days, he asked for leave from the Ministry of War in the name of personal leave, and Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, should have known Chen Fei's identity, so he also approved it. As for Chen Fei's observation in the past few days, Chen Fei has come to a situation, that is, these bad people and the heat of Lijingmen are obviously very depressed, and they don't have too much passion for work. When Chen Fei discovered this problem, he naturally had to prescribe a "prescription" to solve it.
"Several, I've been observing the past few days and found a very important problem." Chen Fei said.
"What's the problem?" Yan Wu, another deputy commander, asked.
Chen Fei immediately said: "I found that everyone's enthusiasm for doing things is not very high, obviously they all have some ideas of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, which makes me feel a little surprised." ”
And Yan Wu said casually: "Everyone is not in a very good mood, and doing things in this underground base is naturally very depressing, so this is understandable." ”
Chen Fei shook his head, obviously he didn't think this basement was the reason. The lighting and ventilation of this basement are still good, plus there is continuous lighting, so there is no lack of light. And the air ventilation effect is also very good, because there is something similar to a bicycle in it, which is specially used to ventilate the people inside. Every moment, someone is "riding" to turn the blades similar to a fan, so that everyone can breathe without fear of being suffocated. So on the whole, it's actually pretty good. Yan Wu said a reason, but Chen Fei didn't think that this was the root of the disease, the real root of the disease was somewhere else.
"Have you ever thought that you could actually go to the ground and enjoy the sun all the time? And then become a court official in the open, and be able to go home and glorify the ancestors? Chen Fei asked.
"To the ground?" "Enjoy the sun?" "Glory Ancestor?"
Chen Dade, Wei Yang, and Yan Wu also began to ponder a little, and then couldn't help but show a helpless expression. In fact, why don't they want to go out into the sun and enjoy the sun? It's not really about walking to the ground. Although they are in the base, they also have a lot of freedom, and they can go out, but they can't reveal their identities. Chen Fei's meaning is actually to allow them to disclose their identities and live freely under the sun, without having to hide their identities all the time, and then no one knows if they lose their lives.
Again, for that reason, it was difficult to have any real patriotism and nationalism in ancient times, and they all joined in for the sake of glory and wealth. Or some people, because they have sinned. I committed something and was forced to enter this Lijing Gate and bad people. In this case, they will have to live like moles all their lives, and this kind of life is really worse than death! A lifetime of incognito, and then sneakily dare not meet people, can not enjoy the glory and wealth in legal occasions like others, and is also in danger at all times. And there are even many restrictions, and this kind of mental torture cannot be supplemented by money alone.
In addition to money, people still want to be able to pursue honor. There are also other people's approvals. Don't look at these people who are doing underground work, but they are just a dog in Li Shimin's hands, and they don't have any freedom. If they die, no one will shed tears for them. No one will remember their exploits. And countless people will only see their opposite, that is, to monitor hundreds of officials and probe on other people's privacy. And if those civil and military officials knew that they were dead, they might be glad instead.
And they are for ordinary people. Actually, it doesn't have much impact. And if the people knew about their existence, they might just spit on them. Because public opinion is controlled by the literati, and the literati say that they are all a bunch of scum. They are not scum and scum. Therefore, after they die, no one will cherish them, and no one will remember their exploits. They are forever silent in the corners of history, and they can never truly feel the honor.
Chen Fei's words have already reached their hearts, because they also want to be recognized by others, which is human nature. No one wants to be a mole forever, being scolded and unable to refute it. They are not short of money, but they need the honor. In fact, they did not fail to spy on the enemy's intelligence on the battlefield, but no one knew their merits. Everyone remembers them as the emperor's lackeys. Although some people may be willing to be lackeys, the vast majority of people want to be recognized by others and their achievements. Only when someone acknowledges their merits will they be able to go down in history and let their descendants feel the heroic deeds of their ancestors.
"Are you willing? You have done a lot of things for the court, for the country, and for the people, are you willing to only be able to do things underground here for the rest of your life? What do you think you'll gain by then? The army outside was killed, but they could at least die defending their homeland and not be scolded by the people. But you have done a lot for them, but they do not understand you. And you have not been able to receive any honor, and you can only endure in silence for the rest of your life. Moreover, you do not have a formal official rank, and you are not an official of the imperial court, so you will never be able to go home and glorify your ancestors. And if you pay so much for the country, but in the end you can't get what you want, are you willing? And when you die, no one will recognize your merits, so can you really bear it? ”
"Deputy Commander Chen, what do you think we should do?" Chen Dade asked.
And Chen Fei immediately said: "The best way is to go from the ground to the ground, and then work hard to prove your worth, so that the military officials and ordinary people in the world know that you are not their enemies, but people who are beneficial to the country." The best way for you is to strive for meritorious service, so that everyone can see your merits. And when the time comes, you will also be able to obtain a legitimate official position, and then return to your hometown in the open, glorifying your ancestors. ”
And when everyone heard this, they were silent again, because it was easy to say that it was actually very difficult to go to the sun. (To be continued......)
