Chapter 487: Untying the Knot
"Yes, you don't deserve it.
Lan Haiyue said eloquently: "Philip is the most outstanding one among my many disciples, although he is young now, but he has wisdom and calmness, he is a piece of jade, in less than ten years, he can definitely be qualified for the position of prime minister! He is a prime minister's talent! And Rodriguez is one of my disciples' strongest martial arts, he is brave and loyal, has the strength of the holy rank, and he is persevering, and he is a rare martial arts talent." Other talents under your command, General Longbottom is a geek, he often does things unexpectedly, he seems to be rude, but in fact, he is bold and careful, he is a general's talent, if he meets the Ming Lord, he can at least be qualified for the position of a regimental commander!!, and His Excellency Hussein, I don't need to say it, he is the future banner character that the temple has spent many years cultivating and cultivated...... Du Wei, think about it, on the mainland, who has a talent like you? Oh, I almost forgot that there is also the green-robed ** master. Not to mention your Decepticon squad, the group of magic apprentices with unlimited potential, and your wife, a level 8 magician...... There are so many talents, I can barely count them all!!"
Du Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "It's right to hear you say this, it seems that there are really countless people around me." β
"It's a pity that so many top powerhouses are working for you, but you still don't have the consciousness of being a leader! I said you're not worthy of being a leader, let alone leading so many top powerhouses!"
Du Wei was not a fool, of course he heard that the old man was deliberately using these sharp words to provoke himself, so he was not angry at all. Instead, he seriously thought for a while: "You tell me." What is the 'enlightenment of a leader'?"
Look at the old man and don't speak. Du Wei couldn't help but continue: "I know, intellectually. I also have reason to convince myself that I am 'right' about the things I do, such as sacrificing, if I can achieve greater benefits, sacrificing a small part. Yes correctly. This needs to be seen in the big picture. Rather than just looking at some of the details. Have a big picture ......"
Du Wei also intends to continue. But Lan Haiyue suddenly interrupted him and said disdainfully: "I'm not interested in discussing those things with you whether they should or shouldn't." I'm not interested in discussing the big picture with you. β
"Huh?" Du Wei was stunned.
"I'll just ask you the first question, Dewey. Lan Haiyue sneered: "Do you think you are a good person or a bad person? β
Du Wei opened his mouth. A little uncertain temptation: "Well...... I think I'm a good person, right?"
"Wrong!" Lan Haiyue rejected Du Wei's statement without hesitation.
Du Wei was a little depressed: the circle is forked. Do you have to force Lao Tzu to admit that I'm a bad guy to be happy?
"Well, then I'm a bad person. Du Wei sighed.
But to his surprise, Lan Haiyue still shook his head: "Wrong again!"
Du Wei froze.
Lan Haiyue sighed. He said leisurely: "Let me tell you a story: once upon a time there was a man who was very poor, and he had an old mother to feed and a young child to feed. But he had no money. I can only go and grab ...... The result was unfortunate. He was caught. For most people, he was a bad guy and a robber. But to his old mother and young son: he was a good son. Good father, because he did not hesitate to risk his life. I just want to be able to feed my loved ones. β
Don't wait for Du Wei to speak. Lan Haiyue quickly said: "Let's give another example. A thousand years ago, His Majesty the Great of Aragon founded the empire, unified the continent, and destroyed countless small countries! For subjects and subordinates who loyally support other lands. He was a good man, a great man, but what about those who were destroyed by him? Aragon was a butcher, an executioner, an aggressor. β
Speaking of which. Lan Haiyue looked at Du Wei: "You tell me." I'm talking about the thief. The great Founding Emperor Aragorn or not...... Which of them is the good guy and who's the bad guy?"
Du Wei stared at Lan Haiyue: "I know what you want to say." There is no such thing as 'good' or 'bad'. It's just that the position and angle are different. It's good for your side. The opposing side is bad land...... I understand what you're saying. But...... Of course, this argument makes sense. It's just that if you go according to this statement, the people of this world. Isn't there no standard of good and evil? If everyone is like this, the world will be in chaos. β
Lan Haiyue laughed, he laughed, leaning back and forth, as if Du Wei couldn't be more ridiculous.
Du Wei looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion: "Am I wrong? But shouldn't people have a standard of good and evil?"
"You're not only naΓ―ve, but you're a little cute. Lan Haiyue had a smile on her face: "I finally know why my disciple Philip is willing to follow you with all his heart now." After a pause, the old man raised his voice: "Du Wei, what you said is right! Most of the world should have a standard for distinguishing between good and evil, good and bad! Otherwise, the world will really be chaotic! But have you forgotten? You are not an ordinary person! You are not a member of the 'majority'! You are a leader! A leader who has controlled thousands of lives and thousands of burdens! It can be said that this is a real misunderstanding that you have always had in your heart!"
Lan Haiyue's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the confusion in Du Wei's heart, faintly, he seemed to understand something.
The old man's words rang in Du Wei's ears like a slap in the face: "You will think in your heart: Is this right, fair or unfair, is it moral...... You struggle, hesitate, doubt. It's not because you don't understand the truth of these things! It's that you've put yourself in the wrong place! You've put yourself in the shoes of an ordinary person! But you've forgotten that you're a leader, and you're not qualified to think like an ordinary person!"
Blue Sea is the most
The words woke Du Wei up: "Throughout the ages, any leader, any leader. They don't think about good or bad or good or bad! They don't think about whether it's moral or immoral, they just think about whether it's okay or not! They don't think about whether it's good or bad, they just think about whether it's needed or not!"
Du Wei was dumbfounded.
"That's why I said you're not worthy of being a leader right now, you don't deserve to have so many talents. Lan Haiyue sneered: "Because deep down, you still regard yourself as an ordinary person - an ordinary person who has right and wrong, good and evil! I'm going to be a bad guy...... And so on and so forth. Pity. But you forgot. For leaders, there is no distinction between 'good guys' and 'bad guys'! There is only a difference between qualified leaders and unqualified leaders!"
"As a leader, you shouldn't think about the so-called good and bad...... Du Wei muttered to himself.
Lan Haiyue's expression was very serious: "I hope you don't just say it with your mouth." It's about really keeping that in mind! You're always just a weak ordinary person! You can't be a successful leader. I don't want you to be cold-blooded, and the kind of leader who is blindly cold and cruel is not a good leader! A good leader should be merciful when he is merciful. Cruel when it should be, but standards are definitely not good or bad in the ordinary sense of morality. It's need, you know?"
Du Wei closed his mouth. Nodding.
"I'm really disappointed in you......" Lan Haiyue sighed, he lay weakly on the chair, "Maybe I'm a little too demanding of you." After all, you've only been in this position for three years. You're still very young. But as you said earlier, you're pressed for time. There is no time for you to slowly and calmly follow the normal trajectory. So you have to mature as soon as possible, and don't stick to this ordinary way of thinking. Say that. And it's not just you who will suffer, those who follow you. You'll be dragged to death too!"
Lan Haiyue actually stood up, he looked very struggling, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, staring at Du Wei: "I thought you were in a hurry to come to me...... It turned out to be because of this boredom haunting. Du Wei. I really want to scold you. What is your most difficult problem now? How to solve the problem in front of you as soon as possible! That stand-in emperor, and the problem of the throne! You and Prince Chen are in the same boat. This is a difficult problem for you...... But at times like these, you're still wasting your precious time and energy thinking about that hellish bullshit 'morality'!!
Du Wei puffed out his chest. His tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Mr. Lan Haiyue, I know it's wrong! I'll keep it in mind!"
"Of course you have to remember. Lan Haiyue snorted: "Otherwise, I might as well recall my apprentices as soon as possible, lest they die in vain under your command in the future." β
A smile immediately appeared on Du Wei's face. pulled a chair and sat down next to Lan Haiyue: "Okay, forget about the topic just now." I really need your wisdom now. I've made this clearβdo you have any solution to this?"
Lan Haiyue frowned: "You mean ......"
"Imperial throne!" Du Wei sighed: "Prince Chen has made up his mind and is unwilling to inherit the throne. He could not let the royal family bow to the church in his hands. And you know. This low profile once it is done. It will be difficult to reverse it in the future. And as for me. I don't want to see that damn church get complacent. So...... Emperor Chen definitely doesn't want to be the emperor, so we have to find a way. Let someone else be the emperor. And this stand-in. He won't be able to hide it for long, after the banquet the day after tomorrow has passed, we must find an emperor for this empire as soon as possible!"
"What does the regent mean...... Little Prince Charlie?" Lan Haiyue frowned.
"So that's the problem. Du Wei smiled bitterly: "This guy Chen himself is not the emperor, if he inherits the throne to a ten-year-old child, everyone will oppose it." Is there any good reason?"
Lan Haiyue also frowned tightly, and he glanced at Du Wei: "You are too careless, Du Wei! You are only thinking about how to solve the problem of the throne? But you have forgotten, the premise is that at the banquet the day after tomorrow, your stand-in can pass the test in a fool's way! If there is no such premise, there is no need to talk about the rest of the matter." β
"The banquet the day after tomorrow?" Du Wei thought for a moment: "I don't think it's a big problem." I've prepared the stand-in, and I'm sure nothing will be exposed. β
"But what if someone deliberately finds fault?" Lan Haiyue said coldly.
Du Wei: "......"
"You mentioned something just now, and it is very likely that Prince Chen already knows about Hussein. And most of his news came from the church...... That's right, the church and the royal family have been fighting against each other for a thousand years, I have you in you, I have you. There may be undercover agents for Prince Chen in the church, but in the palace, there is no secret line of the church......? You can't afford to be on guard against such a big event! In case the church has secretly learned that things have changed, it will deliberately come up with some means to ...... at the banquet the day after tomorrow."
Du Wei felt a pang in his heart, this is not impossible!
Lan Haiyue patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "I'm just giving you a reminder." It's up to you how you do it. As for the question of the throne, I may have an idea...... You can listen to ......"
Du Wei's eyes lit up and he leaned over......
"Often a lot of things are obviously unreasonable, but if you try to make it sacred, so that it is more mysterious, and makes people look full of awe, then ...... No one dares to doubt it......" Lan Haiyue was smiling: "For example, those religious ceremonies in the temple that deceive the world...... And ......"
