What kind of people were the prisoners who were exiled to the border?

The gray-haired father took his most beloved grandson and showed the bloody truth in front of the immature children without reservation in the lush border city.

"All of them are the families of small families, big landlords, big businessmen, and scholars." Yan Wei said lightly, "There are no top gate valves, and there are no poor people. ”

It's also easy to understand.

Like Zhaoguo, the situation where the three princes and nine kings are all beheaded at every turn, and the whole clan is exiled, in this era, it is actually not orthodox.

In other countries, the great nobles will flee, raid their homes, and even exterminate their clans, but they will not be exiled.

Death is a manifestation of dignity.

But only the top gatekeepers with real power are qualified to talk about dignity in front of the king.

As for the fugitive slaves, it is actually because every winter, Chen Guo and Zhu Guo have a steady stream of people sneaking over.

There is no doubt that these people who fled to Liang were captured by the slave traders.

And the biggest slave trader in the local area is the domestic servants of the Yan family.

"I've been thinking about a question ever since." Yan Wei's tone was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story, "Why do people flee their homeland at the risk of being slaves; And these exiled people, in terms of life and status, are worse than slaves and maids, so why don't they run? ”

Children who are less than the waist height of adults will truthfully explain the incomprehension in their hearts to their father.

The coach at the top of the border laughed, picked up his beloved grandson, and told him.

"For they are waiting for the king's forgiveness."

When the child grew into a young man, the kings were replaced by two.

The exiles, from youth to white-headedness, to burial, did not wait for the king's pardon.

"Why don't you recognize that?" Yan Wei seemed to be asking Yin Ji and Wei Yizhi, and it seemed that he was simply expressing his confusion, "With an unrealistic hope, waiting for an almost impossible pardon?" ”

Unless a person of insignificance is fortunate to come from heaven, it is impossible for him to wait for forgiveness in his whole life.

Because they have long been forgotten.

Those who can be given death, rehabilitated, pardoned, and even flee to other countries before the disaster strikes are the great people who have left a lot of marks in that country.

Most of the people caught up in the storm have neither the ability to resist nor the ability to struggle, not even the courage to take a desperate gamble.

The common people would rather be slaves than flee, because for them, there was only a thin line between civilians and slaves.

But for the families and landlords, even if they are criminals, they are not terrible to be slaves.

Once you become a slave, you lose your proud family name and become an ancestorless person. If you dare to brazenly mention your ancestors, it will be even more shameful to your ancestors.

And the surname and genealogy, in this era when princes and princes will have a kind, are the only bargaining chips that most people may turn the tables in adversity.

In order not to lose the most important thing, I would rather endure it all the time and keep boiling.

In the end, in self-deception, I spent my whole life.

Yin Ji sighed in her heart.

If we lived in an era of peace and tranquility, and the upper and lower classes were not so distinct, Yan Wei might have become a great writer, and Wei Yizhi would probably have become a scientist.

Because they are the kind of people who only need a minimum of material security, and then devote themselves to spiritual freedom and height.

But living in this era, if you want to control your own destiny, you can only climb up.

A bad reputation is also better than no reputation, and being used by others is also better than having no use value.

Yin Ji looked at Wei Yizhi, a little confused, and a little curious: "Art of war, are they all like this?" ”

"If the master is asking about the heart of victory and defeat, it is probably like this, right?" Wei Yizhi and Yin Ji are too familiar, even if this sentence has no beginning or end, he can explain very calmly, "If you are too obsessed with victory, you will fall into the trap of the enemy; But if you don't cling to victory, there is no need to study the art of war. ”

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is all fake.

The "defeat" that the art of war can accept is to exchange the small defeats in the first ninety-nine games for the decisive victory in the last game.

The kind of "defeat" that destroys the entire army and turns the great rivers and mountains into naught after a single defeat can only be regarded as a great shame for the art of war.

Hearing Wei Yizhi say this, Yin Ji sighed lightly, stood up, and solemnly saluted Yan Wei: "It is my honor that you are willing to entrust the most trusted person to me." ”

The reason why this man, at the risk of offending the second person in the empire, tried to provoke, provoke, and meet Yin Ji was just to confirm whether her character was as noble as rumored, whether her wisdom and vision were enough, and whether he could entrust his mother to her.

Therefore, he used a storytelling tone to dissect his true heart for others to see.

obviously didn't say a word, but he said everything.

In Wei Yi's heart, there was an indescribable melancholy.

If only his mother were willing to go to work, and his sister-in-law.

But Wei Yizhi knew that even if they agreed, at most they would not dare to resist his will as a family member. And in the bottom of their hearts, they think that they are from a famous family, superior to others, and should be pampered.

Yan Wei stared at Yin Ji, and after a while, he also returned a salute: "It's Wei's luck." ”

With that, he took his leave with great strides, and left the pavilion as if nothing had happened, and walked through the courtyard, and returned to the feast.

When Da Chen saw him coming, his expression was fixed.

Yan Wei raised his wine glass and smiled softly, but his thoughts drifted away.

He understood early on that his mother was a strong person, but she was also a weak person.

Strength lies in the fact that in the face of the wind, frost, rain and snow of life, she can grit her teeth and resist. From rich to poor, he did not change his original intention.

The weakness lies in the fact that she does not have the courage to take that step.

After the little aunt lost her husband, she didn't leave the Zhou family because she was trapped and had nowhere to go.

What about mothers?

She actually has the right to choose, she can return to her parents' home and remarry when she is young.

But my mother refused.

Yan Wei was reluctant to speculate on how much of it was because he was reluctant to have his son, and how much of it was because he saw through the ruthlessness of his mother's family and was wary.

Although it is miserable to be widowed, but with the elders taking care of him, and his son being respected by his father-in-law, life can always go on.

What if you remarry and end up in the house of the tiger wolf?

Endure step by step, retreat step by step.

The exiled prisoners hoped for the king's forgiveness; The people who fled to other nations hoped for a good life; The widowed mother whose life is pinned on her only son, longing for her son to marry a wife and have children, has a great career.

The first two have bad endings, so why ask for a third story, there will be a good ending?

This has nothing to do with whether the Da Chen family is virtuous or not.

If she is mean, she will torture her daughter-in-law and compete for her grandson to fill the emptiness in her heart;

If she is loving and reasonable, she will only worry more.

It is not necessarily a good thing to indulge in the struggle for power in the house and know nothing about the outside world.

But the Great Chen clan was at the border, and after seeing so many exiled people, the rest of the Yan family could not escape their fate, and they had long been full of fear of stepping into the center of power.

She will not fight against her son and stop him from going up, because she knows very well that without power and status, she cannot protect herself, and can only be slaughtered by others.

Once Yan Wei stepped into the officialdom, she would not sleep day and night.

The only way to get my mother out of this deformed cycle of despair is to remove part of the weight of my mother's life from him and find her own way.

That's all.
