Part 4: The Topic of the Strength of the Wind

The choice is "loyal minister", the teacher laughed at me and said, this is very general, but also the topic, only the word "loyal minister" is too big, in fact, from any angle, you can divide a lot of small topics, and then to compose.

In fact, I have too many incomprehensions about the loyal and righteous people, and about the bright side of human nature that is so perfect, and it is by no means something that can be explained in one or two papers, one or two small angles.

But limited to the rules, I had to choose a random topic, that is, "the choice of loyal ministers." "A loyal courtier, on the road of life, always have to make all kinds of choices, mortals like me, can not understand at all, how people can not hesitate to give up their lives, happiness, joy, and for some useless people and things to pay. What exactly are their values?

Due to the rules, everyone's arguments must be experienced by themselves, so I decided to be a loyal servant.

The so-called civil death advice, martial death war, to be a loyal minister seems very simple, but I don't want to fall into the clichΓ© so much, I want to pick a courtier identity who does not have to face the big right and wrong choices, so, in the first life, I am the imperial doctor.

I thought that being a doctor, as long as he treats diseases, is a very simple identity, a very simple job, where to bury his conscience, where to use struggle and choice,

However, it turns out that the real court is far more terrible than the history books, and it turns out that if you want to be a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, you can't live in peace.

The women in the palace fought to the death one by one, on the surface they were chaste and graceful, but there were frequent killers in secret. Let some people die silently. To let some fetuses be lost silently, and to let some children die silently, all of this is inseparable from the cooperation of the imperial doctor.

That was the first time I really faced the brutality of a bloody killing conspiracy, and all of it. are all hidden under the beautiful and prosperous appearance of the harem.

What can I choose before the persecution of interests and powers?

I try to wrestle in this without harming others or becoming a tool for others to harm others, I try not to violate my conscience, I try not to harm my life, I try to save others as much as possible with my meager power.

In fact. This can't be regarded as being a loyal minister, everything I do is not because I am loyal to the emperor, but only because I am loyal to a person's conscience and right and wrong......

See, even people like me still have a bit of a conscience, don't they?

However, I didn't know the current affairs, and after trying again and again, after a nobleman in the palace was poisoned for no reason. was inexplicably found out as a poisoner, and after being imprisoned. But he died violently for no reason before being tortured to extract a confession, which is also a matter of course.

And those. I have saved, protected, and refused to harm people who would rather die than do harm, and I have never extended a helping hand to me and said a word for me, which is also a matter of course.

In that deep palace confinement, there is no power left to protect yourself, and who can protect others.

All right. In the first life, I saw the cruelty of the harem. I already knew the sinister nature of the previous dynasty, so in the second life, I avoided both places, I was a Qin Tianjian and was only responsible for observing the stars every day, this kind of thing always didn't have to bury my conscience and face difficult choices, right?

However, the emperor wants to find a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, and the trouble of the former crown prince who used to grab the throne with him, wants me to say that a meteor is crossed by the sky because of the anger of the sky at the immorality of the former prince. I'm really dumbfounded, such a simple astronomical phenomenon, they can make an extremely strange political storm. What should my choice be, loyalty to the monarch or loyalty to my inner conscience? In short, while I was silent, the Heavenly Eunuch of Bedi Qin had already hurriedly reported according to the emperor's wishes. After that, there was a series of turmoil, nearly 20,000 people were killed, and I was also implicated in an inexplicable small case, lost my office, went to prison, and then died silently.

Knowing that the ancients loved to make a fuss about the will of heaven, I decided to be a Hanlin in my third life. An emperor who accompanied the emperor, only recited poems and paintings with him, and accompanied the wine and banquet.

The harem battle has nothing to do with me, and the power struggle of the previous dynasty has nothing to do with me, I just need to be a famous and talented man, and I can be good at it with a clear name. Li Bai and Sima Xiangru looked down on the positions that refused to stay in peace, and I was happy and comfortable. I want to see what fateful choice can be made for such an idle position.

However, it turns out that in this world, there are indeed people who have right and wrong, and no matter what, they can't hide. In the power dispute between the DPRK and China, the leftist faction used vicious means in order to crack down on the loyal and upright Emperor of the Imperial History. However, Na Yushi acted extremely squarely, and was honest and self-controlled, and he didn't have the slightest handle to be caught.

Zuo Xiang then took the poem written by Yushi on weekdays, and asked people to break it word by word to find evidence of disobedience, and then report it to the top, and because I am very famous, he asked me to testify, saying that there is indeed a counter-meaning in the poem.

Naturally, I would not give such a testimony. However, is this a loyal minister, loyal to the country and the emperor, no, no, no, I just think that this kind of literary prison is too ridiculous to let myself get involved in it. I couldn't help but say two sentences for the imperial history, interpreting the poems from a normal perspective in my status in the literary world.

However, it turns out that in the officialdom and in the court, there is nothing ridiculous that will not happen, nothing is ridiculous, and it is not regarded as normal.

All the officials who participated in the review acted according to the will of the left minister, and could not find any evidence, just to say a word, you did not write it in your pen, but you must have thought in your heart that the word "intention" is also a crime of killing. After personal experience, I learned that Zhang Tang was sentenced to the death of his courtiers with "belly slander". Qin Hui convicted the hero of the crime with "unwarranted", Xu Youzhen judged Yu Qian's death with "intention", and Emperor Jing was able to get the reason for rebellion in the underworld and force Zhou Yafu to death, it turned out that all this was completely normal and reasonable.

Of course, as a person who once defended the imperial history with a few words of rebellion, I could not escape the crime of being killed by my comrades.

Even if the imperial physician wants to be involved in the harem turmoil, and when Hanlin can't escape the persecution of the literary prison, then in my third life, I simply choose to be a Qin Tianjian.

I don't have much contact with people at all, I just look at the sun, moon and stars every day, and no matter how dark the world is, I can't close my eyes and say that the sun is the moon.

However, the emperor, who had just won the battle for the throne and had just ascended the throne, regarded his brother, who had been the crown prince before, as a thorn in the flesh.

At this time, there happened to be a meteor in the sky, and the emperor immediately called me to prove that the appearance of the broom star was the anger of the sky at the former prince's immorality.

This normal natural phenomenon is forced to be pulled into politics, which makes me laugh and understand

?? I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, β–‹??|I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, β–‹??|I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, β–‹??|I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, β–‹??|I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, β–‹??|I certainly can't give such a ridiculous testimony. However, there are others who promise. In the end, the former prince was imprisoned and died, and I myself was inexplicably involved in an inexplicable small case, imprisoned, tortured, beaten, and persecuted for no reason, and then died without a warning. After that, no one will remember me, and the history books will not write more for the little Qin Tianjian.

The little people in the third life, I was really depressed, in the fourth and fifth lives, I simply became a general in one life, and I became a prime minister directly, which can be regarded as a general and a prime minister.

However, with such a high status, when he became a loyal minister, he naturally died a more heroic and tragic death.

The general of the fourth generation, who holds the power of the army, will inevitably have high merits, and even make unrewarded achievements one after another, so which emperor can rest assured?

When my subordinates persuaded me to rebel, I really made the inevitable choice of a loyal minister, the army is the instrument of the state, how can it cause civil strife in the country because of selfish interests?

There was no big surprise in the killing after that.

As for the fifth life, the ending was not too miserable, at least it was not killed by the emperor. To be a loyal servant and a good person, I chose to use the power in my hands, and there is no suspense.

Of course, it is inevitable to admonish Geng Geng, it is indispensable to fight against evil, and it is even more indispensable to uphold justice for the people.

So, today I don't let the emperor draft girls. Tomorrow, the emperor was not allowed to build a palace, and the day after tomorrow asked for the elimination of corrupt officials, and the day after tomorrow he slaughtered four or five people who robbed the people and the evil people.

So, put the emperor, the minister. All the people up and down have sinned against the light.

The imperial historians began to jointly participate in our dictatorship and arbitrariness, and the court and China set off a public discussion against me. In the end, I had to resign and sit behind closed doors.

After that, I was repeatedly degraded and exiled in a desolate land, and I endured poverty and sickness in the midst of bitter wind and rain. When I was humiliated and tortured by the officials, there was no one in the DPRK and China who stood up for me and helped me.

Maybe there were a few years when I was still remembered, and I was still praised as a good person and a loyal minister, but after three autumns. and the world forgot me.

When I died, I was deserted. The body was covered with a thin layer of soil, after several storms. And he was exposed, and was dragged away by wild dogs.

I have gone through five lives, made choices about life in five different capacities, and accepted the ending.

The professor thought I was competent, maybe not particularly good, but the simulation was well done, nothing was wrong, everything was chosen. Everything I did was very much in line with the character I wanted to play.

Oh, yes. Compared with the light dust who acts too extremely, and Ah Han, who is careless in everything and never works hard, where are I and Xiaorong, a good student who is serious and obedient, going to beg.

At that time, except for students like Zhang Minxin, who had a particularly easy topic to choose and the thesis had been passed, Xiaorong and I were the ones who simulated it most smoothly, and basically the professor had signaled us that as long as there were no major mistakes in the next life, the paper would be 100% passed.

However, I'm tired of it. I don't understand how the professor's requirements can be so low, can my thesis really be considered good?

Do all my appearances really fully represent the choice of my loyal servants?

Am I really a loyal servant?

I can choose to protect others in the face of threats to my life, I can refuse to accuse others when I am oppressed by power, I can destroy myself for the sake of the overall situation of the country, and I can be willing to bear the expected tragic end in order to protect the people.

But that's not because I'm great, not because I'm brave, not because I'm noble, it's just because, for me, it's just a game and a dream.

I'm not a loyalist, I'm just going to do a role-playing game perfectly. In the game, any damage I take will not affect me in real life.

What is the great thing about not worrying about failure, not being afraid of blows, not losing anything, in this case, to maintain your conscience and uphold the so-called justice?

How can I be considered a loyal minister, and how can I really understand the choice of a loyal minister.

In fact, whether it is me, Qingchen, Xiaorong, or even Han, no matter what our topic is, whether we succeed or fail, and how complete it is, we can't really understand the phenomenon we want to study.

At that time, I really felt that the so-called mock, the so-called exam, was actually just a hilarious joke, a boring game, and had no practical significance at all.

However, if the system is like this, then let's play according to the rules of the game.

However, in this life, I was still tired and didn't want to get myself into the turmoil so quickly, so I indulged myself, I let myself be a businessman first, I let myself have the wealth of the country, I let myself have enough money to live freely.

I know that I will always have to finish my thesis in this life, and I will always be a loyal servant who will do my best, but before that, I will enjoy life as much as I want.

In fact, I also know that this mentality, this kind of practice, has deviated a little from the requirements of loyal ministers, but anyway, the professor has hinted that I can pass, as long as I don't make a big mistake, there is no need to be too diligent and serious.

After all, not everyone is like Xiao Rong, who is so obsessed with taking the first place in the exam and getting the best results.

In fact, even being such a sesame mung bean official in the end was a life that I deliberately chose. In this life, I will really stay away from the center of the imperial court, go to the border pass thousands of miles away, and be a petty official all my life, and may even not see the face of the emperor and other powerful people for the rest of my life.

In fact, the so-called loyal ministers do not have to be famous generals, nor do they have to be ministers of the DPRK and China, nor do they have to be officials of one of their parents. Those insignificant little people, those petty officials who will not waste pen and ink in the history books, those who have been unknown all their lives, but who are secretly doing their best for the country, the people, and the people of the world, are not loyal ministers?

In this life, I actually have the idea that I can get by, mix day by day, and just finish according to the requirements of the topic. Anyway, the professor will definitely pass my paper, and I'm too tired to think about it, explore it, and research it. Only I know that my thesis is a failure, at least, by my standards, completely, a failure.

And just when I had nothing to do and just wanted to mess around, I met you.
