Part 4 Chapter 48 Verification of the Wind Festival
While hanging out and sleeping, Lu Dongli was watching a military exercise.
According to the suggestion of the Feng Jin Festival, from the first time they used the exercise to train troops, they arranged for manpower to record all the contents and data of the exercise. After all, the scope of observation of a general or commander is limited, and someone has a complete record of the entire exercise process, so that everyone can analyze and review it afterwards. What is done well, what is not enough, what is not well considered, and what can be improved, can be seen at a glance to prevent omissions.
Although the purpose of this exercise was to deceive Su Ling, make those officials in the rear nervous, and create a chance for Lu Dongli to get out, all the work related to the exercise was the same as the usual exercise, and the records in all aspects were also perfect.
After Lu Dongli came back, he finished handling some trivial matters, and then transferred the exercise records to look at them again; saving people on the one hand, and training troops on the other, it was the best of both worlds, and it was also his responsibility for him, as the commander-in-chief, to carefully check the exercise records and study the gains and losses from them.
However, Feng Jinjie and the other generals, of course, had already read the record in the morning, so he didn't bother to accompany him to watch it together, so he stole half a day of leisure, went out to find a big tree with lush branches and leaves, and jumped up to sleep, but he didn't expect Zhang Minxin to be dizzy.
Lu Dongli looked through the records by himself, very seriously, and there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side, he held the copywriting in one hand and the pen in the other, and whenever he had any thoughts and opinions, he carefully recorded them on the side.
When he was concentrating, he heard the familiar footsteps, he raised his head, but saw Feng Jinjie holding his head and staggering in, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" β
Feng Jinjie didn't answer, sat down sullenly in front of Lu Dongliang, and looked up at him with some hatred.
Because he hated the troubles that Lu Dongli had brought to him in his heart, this glance was quite vicious. Lu Dongli had a chill on his body, looking at Feng Jinjie in a daze, trying to think about when he had offended him without knowing it.
Feng Jinjie coughed; "Dongli, I have something to ask you."
It was rare for Lu Dongli to see him ask something so seriously, and he couldn't help but sit upright: "You ask." β
Feng Jinjie looked at Lu Dongli solemnly, and said after a while: "If I fall into the river with your wife, which one do you save?" β
Before the words fell, there was a loud noise when the chair fell to the ground in his mind, as well as Zhang Minxin's crazy laughter: "You, you, you, God, you can ask this kind of question, this is all clichΓ© to vulgar, old-fashioned to ridiculous questions, my God, Jinjie, my good classmate, you let me down too much." β
Feng Jinjie remained silent, letting her laugh wantonly, just staring at Lu Dongliang, waiting for him to answer.
Although Lu Dongli's reaction was not as exaggerated as Zhang Minxin's, he also laughed: "Jinjie, what kind of joke is this?" β
Feng Jinjie patiently said: "It's not a joke, you answer me." β
Lu Dongli smiled, looked at him seriously several times, and saw that there was no joke in his expression, and almost wanted to reach out and touch his forehead: "This, didn't you sleep well last night?" Or are you sick? β
Feng Jinjie sighed, rolled his eyes, and knew that if there was no reasonable explanation, it would be difficult for Lu Dongli to answer this question seriously, so he had to say: "This is just an interesting game of telling the truth, I can ask you a question that can't be hit with eight strokes, and from your answer, I can deduce some of your preferences, habits, or something." β
Lu Dongli said puzzledly: "But, you know all my preferences and habits, what else do you have to infer about?" β
Feng Jinjie glared at him angrily: "I just want to play, I want to see if this speculation method works, whether this game is fun, can't you cooperate with me a little?" β
Lu Dongli nodded in a daze, thought for a while, and said: "Impossible, you are good at water, I don't know how to water, you and my wife fell into the river, I must have asked you to help me save my wife." β
With the crazy laughter in the depths of his mind, the wind was so bad that he slapped the table, staring at Lu Dongli with wide eyes: "It's just a game, don't consider the reasonableness, you just have to think, I don't know why, anyway, your wife and I are in danger at the same time, I don't know why, you just have the ability to save one of us, I don't know why, you save one, the other will definitely die, then, which one will you choose to save?" β
Lu Dongli looked at him dumbfounded: "I don't know why there are so many places, this is really impossible to happen." β
Feng Jinjie slapped the table again: "I said, it's impossible for you to leave it alone, you just need to answer." He paused, and then replied: "You must tell the truth, answer sincerely, if you want me to be a friend, you are not allowed to make up an answer to me." β
Lu Dongli was stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little blankly: "I promised you, naturally I won't lie to you." β
"Okay, I'm dying with your wife, which one do you save?"
Lu Dongli slowly put down the exercise record book in his hand, lowered his head and pondered.
Feng Jinjie knows his temperament, which is the act of playing, as long as he agrees, he will definitely answer seriously, and it is impossible to deal with an answer at will.
He must have really imagined such a situation in his mind and analyzed the choices he might make.
This game question, throughout the ages, has been asked by many people, and the people who asked it were easy to say and answered
There are also some casual and jokes, but if you really put yourself in the shoes of this kind of assumption and choice, to face it, it will be a knife in the heart, bloody pain.
Therefore, although Zhang Minxin was so angry that he came to Lu Dongli to ask such crazy questions, looking at Lu Dongxi's face, his expression gradually darkened, his expression gradually became heavy, and the color of pain gradually rose in his eyes. Even the Wind Festival itself was a little upset.
Really, people are so calm and selfless, why should they torture Zhang Minxin with this kind of problem for the sake of Zhang Minxin's crazy behavior.
Lu Dongli was silent for a long time, a long time, so long that Feng Jinjie felt that he was a little stiff. Sweat seeped densely on Lu Dong's forehead, slowly rolling down, and his chest rose and fell significantly because of some overly excited and painful emotions.
Feng Jinjie almost jumped up and shouted, you don t have to answer, this is just a joke When Lu Dongli finally spoke.
"I'll save you."
He looked up and smiled dismally, with some indescribable desolation and sadness in his expression.
Zhang Minxin screamed again: "Look, look, he really regards you as more important than his wife." β
Feng Jinjie coldly scolded her for being "bored", and then looked at Lu Dongli with surprisingly calm and clear eyes, and then asked: "If I fall into danger with the emperor, you can only save one of us, who do you save." β
This time, Lu Dongli replied very quickly, and his expression was very relaxed: "Of course it's the emperor." Is there still a question like "he is slightly blamed for looking forward to the wind festival"? β
Feng Jinjie laughed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Lu Dongli, Lu Dongliang, this is indeed the answer you will have, this is indeed the inevitable answer of all loyal ministers and righteous men, upright gentlemen." β
He laughed and turned back.
Lu Dongshu was stunned and asked, "You're done asking, what about your speculation?" β
"I confirmed, this game is very boring, this speculation is not interesting, not worth learning, not worth promoting, I went to patrol the city, you are busy with your own go." Feng Jin waved his hand without looking back, and left briskly.
Lu Dongli sat in a daze for a long time, and only after a long time did he begin to suspect that this Fengjin Festival would not be secretly drinking from him, drinking confused. No, on the issue of strictly prohibiting casual drinking in the army, we will focus on discussing it tomorrow.
Zhang Min said happily: "Look, look, the truth has been tried, and his feelings for you in his heart are also very clear." β
"It's very clear." Feng Jinjie said lightly: "He has no personal feelings for me at all. β
"Why, he would rather not save his wife than save you." Zhang Minxin shouted.
"Idiot, he would rather not save me, but also save the emperor, does he have a personal affair with the emperor?" Feng Jinjie sneered.
"He answered that question so quickly, he didn't seriously think about it at all, he definitely didn't mean it, he lied to you."
"Zhang Minxin, although we haven't studied psychology seriously, we should know some common sense knowledge. If I ask him directly whether he likes me, or me and his wife, and who he loves more, firstly, he may be telling a lie, and secondly, he may not want to tell a lie, but because he subconsciously does not want to face it, he tells a lie without knowing it. But I just do this kind of test question in the way of games, and he also responds to it in games, so naturally there is no need to guard against me, and there will be no thoughts of deceiving me subconsciously. Moreover, I know very well his character, and even if he agrees to tell the truth, his answer will not be false in the slightest. β
Feng Jinjie's expression was flat, and his mood was equally calm, "If I and the emperor are really in trouble at the same time, he will definitely choose to save the emperor, because for a scholar who grew up in the feudal era and was educated by the ideology of loyalty, loyalty is the noblest sentiment, and the interests of the monarch are second only to the blessings of the people and the country. In the eyes of ancient scholars and Confucian scholars, loyalty to the monarch is the most basic and one of the most unshakable morals, the monarch may be incompetent, may be immoral, may be greedy for pleasure, may refuse to accept loyalty, but as long as it is not too cruel, too crazy, too cruel to the country and the people, generally speaking, they will still choose to be loyal to the monarch, and will do whatever it takes to save the king when he is in danger. That's why he thinks that my question is boring, there is no need to ask it, and his answer will be so natural, there is no need to think, struggle, and struggle. β
Then he chose to save the emperor, and it has nothing to do with love. We can leave it undiscussed. β
"His choice to save me has nothing to do with love, and it can also be ignored." Feng Jinjie said lightly.
"Why?" Zhang Minxin exclaimed: "In other words, how can you think that his choice has nothing to do with love." β
Feng Jinjie smiled and strolled down the long street of Dingyuan Pass, and replied leisurely in his mind: "Zhang Minxin, don't look at the people of this era with the values of later generations. In a very long time later, people admired love incomparably, and people always had to pursue individuality, in that era, it was sometimes considered stupid and incomprehensible to give up a small family, take care of everyone, sacrifice one's own interests, and devote one's whole life to the country and the nation. In that era, when the lover and mother fell into the river at the same time, the question of which one to save was not known who was the first to raise it, and then in countless stories, countless realities,
Ask your lover questions several times. It was only in that era when love was paramount that I really made sense. In our time, this question will only provoke ridicule from everyone, but in ancient times, let alone answering, if a woman asks her husband like this, it is enough to be considered an unfilial and stubborn woman. You have to remember that in this era, in the normal thinking and values of the world, love has never been put in the highest position. Especially these ancient righteous men and gentlemen, whether they were Confucian scholars who read sages and sages, or the so-called chivalrous and righteous men, they often have a strange sense of morality, personal desires and emotions, which are always pressed to a very low level, love is just a private feeling, but righteousness is always righteousness. Sacrificing one's wife and children for the sake of one's friends is considered a great act, while sacrificing one's friends for the sake of one's wife and children is very despicable and condemnable. β
Zhang Minxin was furious: "What kind of bastard idea is this, why is a woman destined to be sacrificed by men." β
From our point of view, this is certainly not true, but in this day and age, it is a universally accepted morality and value. The more upright a gentleman is, the more strict he is with himself in this regard. It's really a bit of a heavenly reason, and the taste of destroying people's desires is included. Therefore, if Lu Dongli has any selfish desires for me in his heart, even if he himself has subconsciously such thoughts that he has not discovered, then, when faced with this multiple-choice question, his sense of morality will think that it is a very despicable and extremely selfish thing to abandon his wife and save me. It would have been natural for him to decide to rescue his wife and then grieve for me. Judging by the insane perfect and intense love that you fandoms expect, his greatest limit is just suicide because he can't stand the pain of losing me. Feng Jinjie shook his head, and his tone was a little sighing and helpless, "It is precisely because he is frank and selfless and purely regards me as a friend, that when the choice comes, he will painfully abandon his wife and save me." β
"My God, the so-called love, is it the first to sacrifice the person you love the most when the great calamity comes? Bah, I hate these so-called loyal ministers, righteous heroes, and filial sons the most, using the blood of women and children to cushion their nobility, and achieving their greatness with the sacrifice of their relatives. β
"Not all heroes will definitely succumb to their relatives in the end, but people's hearts and powers are limited, and when they work hard for too many people and things, it is indeed difficult to take care of their loved ones wholeheartedly. From our point of view, this may be very cruel and ruthless. However, in this day and age, it is indeed a morality and behavior that is celebrated. Lu Dongli is actually the most typical kind of upright gentleman and upright Confucian scholar of this era, he has been educated by this kind of thinking for too many years, and it is impossible for him to get rid of this kind of thinking and view. It's just that he is not the kind of so-called saint who is ruthless and unrighteous, and uses integrity as capital to calmly hurt his relatives without flesh and blood. That's why he hesitates, suffers, and feels sad. In fact, I was sorry for him, I used a joke to force him to face his innermost choice, forcing him to admit that he was a despicable husband who would abandon his wife when faced with a choice, and I made him look good and was tormented by infinite guilt. I think for a long time, he will not be able to eat and sleep well. Feng Jinjie shook his head with a wry smile, regretting his whimsical behavior.
Even if he was sad, it was just crocodile tears for his wife. Hmph, what is there to be sympathized with or admired. β
"Zhang Minxin, from our point of view, of course, we can criticize the stupid behavior of many ancients, and the normal practices of many ancient people are also incomprehensible in our opinion. However, neither you nor I should demand the ancients in our time. The ancients were in their time, educated by their own peculiarities, with their own values, perhaps not good enough, perhaps biased, perhaps too rigid and stubborn because they were brainwashed by the monarch's policy of foolishness and loyalty education. However, we do not agree, but at least we should know how to respect, we can sigh at the mistakes of many great people in the annals of history, and shake our heads at the behavior of many ancients, but we cannot ask them to get rid of the limitations of their own times, and make a choice that we can fully agree with, which is demanding and impossible. β
"But that can't be so ......" Zhang Minxin suddenly shouted: "No, we obviously study feelings, love, and ambiguity everywhere, why are we discussing such a serious issue now." β
Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say ......?"
"Ah, I've been fooled by you, you ......" Zhang Minxin's angry cry suddenly disappeared, and there was a deep silence in the depths of his mind.
Feng Jinjie breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the whole world fell silent, this feeling is really good, haha.
Xiaolou's rules, Xiaolou can not take the initiative to contact all his classmates for more than five hours a month, this month to remove the intermittent contact, there was originally three hours of contact time, he deliberately slowed down to play a quiz game with Lu Dongli, deliberately borrowed the question to play, and spoke at length, in order to use up all the contact time for this month, at least in the next half a month, he no longer has to worry about being disturbed by Zhang Minxin's terrible woman.
