Why not let the people take matters into their own hands, but still need imperial power?

The question is acute.

Han Dongwen seemed to understand why Wen Yongxing had to ask such a question after retiring the subordinates of the cabinet.

Yes, since the state is owned by the people, why not let the people govern themselves?

Han Dongwen almost blurted out.

What else could it be?

Because it's not good!

But the intent of this question is probably not something that can be answered by a difficult sentence.

"Students can't answer this question right now."

He pondered for a moment and replied honestly.

Zhong Lilin, who was next to him, opened his mouth after listening: "Your Highness, the minister has a foolish opinion. ”

"Lord Zhong, please speak."

Zhong Lilin took a deep breath and looked at Han Dongwen: "Actually, it's very simple, Your Highness and the ministers are talking here, and what they mention is just the simple four words of the people, but the people are all the people, and there will never be two people who are exactly the same in this world." ”

"What do you mean by Lord Zhong, even if there are differences among the people?"

"That's right."

Zhong Lilin nodded, "Most things in this world, as long as they are beneficial to some people, will definitely harm others. Without a power structure, we will only be mired in endless internal friction. ”

After Wen Yongxing listened, he turned his head and asked Han Dongwen, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Han Dongwen clasped his hands, thought for a moment and said, "Lord Zhong is not unreasonable, but I'm afraid he still thinks too well. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Wen Yongxing asked.

Han Dongwen cleared his throat: "As Master Fang Cai Zhong said, ordinary people are always selfish by nature, and the selfishness of a few will hinder the well-being of the majority, but this is far from the worst part of selfishness. ”

He looked at Zhong Lilin and said, "No one can become a country, if it is because selfishness hinders good things, it can still be solved, and it is still a matter within a country." However, there are countries outside the country, but the only thing to worry about is that some people not only hinder but even collude with outsiders to harm their own people because of selfishness. ”

The so-called politics is to solve problems internally.

And for one's own benefit, colluding with the outside to damage the inside, that is, for the sake of treachery!

After listening to this, Wen Yongxing didn't comment much, but looked at Han Dongwen for a long time, then lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly: "The old minister has one last question, which shouldn't be asked, I just hope that His Highness can think about it a little bit." ”

Han Dongwen hurriedly said humbly: "Teacher, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wen Yongxing took a deep breath and asked, "The last question is, Your Highness thinks that only people can serve the country, and you think that the king and government make all the people work together, so ......?"

He hesitated for a moment, and then said with some righteousness: "Your Highness thinks, why do you have to be the king of this country?" ”

The voice was like thunder in the silence, shaking the ears of several people in the pavilion.

Wen Yongxing's fists were already a little clenched.

He shouldn't have asked such a question, it was almost saying that the king of this country was not something that Han Dongwen could do.

He wouldn't have asked such a question, but it was Han Dongwen's previous two answers, which made him see a ray of light again in this former disciple.

If the plague king is still the plague king, how can such remarks be tolerated?

If the plague king is not the plague king, there is a glimmer of hope for Wen Yongxing's thoughts and plans.

He was too old to teach a few more people and do more.

The body is old, the bones are old, and I think I can't go with the flow in today's turbulent turbulent times, break off the bones and bend down, so what else can I do besides guarding this unworthy Taishang?

He has written many times and wants to resign and return to the field, to Han Dongwen, to Taifu, and even Jiang Ningyun.

But except for Han Dongwen who didn't care, everyone else knew that an old scholar with no background should be the most worry-free Taishuge signboard.

If this is opened, Taishuge will be replaced with the opponent's chess pieces, and it will always disrupt the chess game.

And if you change your own manpower, it will inevitably be revealed.

Wen Yongxing is like an old vine sitting in the Taishu Pavilion, and he can see his decay at a glance.

"Teacher."

Han Dongwen was silent for a long time, and slowly raised his head to look at Wen Yongxing.

What is he going to say?

What will he say?

Wen Yongxing's Adam's apple moved up and down, tugging at his bark-like skin.

Han Dongwen sighed: "This question cannot be answered by the student. ”

It's not that you can't answer, and it's not that you will answer incorrectly.

Because the answer is very simple - Han Dongwen was lucky to cast this fetus.

He is not the founder of the country, he has the power to serve the people, nor is he a strong country, he has extraordinary talents, he can be the emperor only because he voted for this birth, and he can always be the emperor only because he does nothing.

But Han Dongwen can't say this kind of thing by himself.

Wen Yongxing looked at Han Dongwen's eyes and wanted to say something, but Han Dongwen gently raised his hand to stop him.

"The teacher just asked, and the answer shouldn't be said."

He just wanted to survive, so he had to do something to break the game.

He doesn't have any dreams of governing a strong country now, he just wants to get out of the puppet.

Wen Yongxing realized that Han Dongwen had already answered this question.

Knowing what it means to be king is always the first step.

This is often the least anticipated first step.

"Please ask Your Highness to allow the old minister to ask for immortal gifts."

Wen Yongxing bowed slowly, got up, and walked out of the Taishu Pavilion.

Han Dongwen sat in place and did not move.

Quiet.

It's a little quiet and thought-provoking.

After a while, he looked ahead, looked at Wen Yongxing's empty chair and said:

"Lord Zhong, have you complained about me for many years?"

He was naturally referring to the issue of a holy decree to send Zhong Sheng to Haizhou.

After this change, Zhong Lilin himself was also removed from the Ministry of Retirement, cut off the spiritual root, and "assigned" to this Taishu Pavilion.

Zhong Lilin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "The minister has had a disrespectful heart, but after arriving in this Taishu Pavilion, he also knows the difficulties of His Highness, and now he only wants to fulfill the responsibility of this cabinet eunuch." ”

The holy decree that dispatched Zhong Sheng, now it seems that Han Dongwen just added a seal?

After hearing this, Han Dongwen said in a deep voice: "Lord Wen's problem today should be cut." Even if Lord Wen had hopes for me, he definitely shouldn't have spoken in front of Lord Zhong. ”

He turned around and looked at Zhong Lilin: "But Lord Wen still asked these questions in front of you, so I only think that Lord Wen has seen you clearly and trusted you, so if you answer me again, do you just want to do a good job as a cabinet supervisor?" ”

It was as if he had changed as a different person, and he spoke very seriously, very seriously.

Zhong Lilin gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to look at Han Dongwen: "Minister...... I just want to do a good job as a cabinet supervisor. ”

He was about to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Han Dongwen raising his hand, and when he turned his head, Wen Yongxing had already returned to the pavilion with a treasure box.

"Your Highness, the fairy rite is here, please take a look. However, I wonder what is the use of His Highness inviting this ritual vessel? ”

The treasure box was placed on the table, Han Dongwen stood up, stretched out his hand to touch the lacquered wooden box, and raised his eyes to look at Zhong Lilin.

"The students themselves don't know, but no matter how much dust or dilapidation the treasure is, if it can be useful, it shouldn't be hidden in the box without seeing the light."

I don't know who I'm talking to.

The wooden box opened, Han Dongwen glanced at it, and reached out to hold the rusty Yunpo sword.

As usual, the Yunpo Sword was held heavily in his hand, and nothing happened.

This time, Han Dongwen was very satisfied, took out another Chongyang crown and put it aside, and took the Yunpo sword back into the box.

"Please also ask the teacher and Lord Zhong to keep this double yang crown for the time being, and the students will ask Yunpo Sword to use it first."

After that, Han Dongwen picked up the wooden box, put it in his hand, and bowed his head gently towards Wen Yongxing, pausing for a long time.
