Chapter 934: Everyone has their own ambitions, don’t force them

"People's likes should not be divided into high and low. If they must be divided, it cannot be divided based on people's likes, but the means used to get it can be divided into upright and despicable."

At this point, his eyes suddenly turned deep and he said: "From ancient times to the present, the methods men use for power and money are probably much more despicable than the methods they use to pursue the one they love, so There is no need for women to remain complacent, or even demean themselves or judge themselves.”

"But,"

Yu Mingyue thought for a while and said softly: "Perhaps Your Highness still may not fully understand our situation - but pursuing money and power can at least make people live better. But pursuing a person, even if you get the person you love, It may not make you live better. This is a... pragmatic idea."

"pragmatic,"

This somewhat fresh word made Yu Wenzhen's eyes light up again. He thought about it carefully and figured out the meaning of the word. He nodded with a half-smile and said, "It's interesting."

"..."

"To be pragmatic - the so-called making people live better means satisfying people's desires, right?"

"That's it."

"There are thousands of people's desires, and there are thousands of ways to live a good life. Some people's desires need to be satisfied with money, some people's desires need to be satisfied with power, and some people's desires must be filled with the company of a lover. . Even from a secular perspective, those who love others are not inferior to those who are obsessed with money and power."

"..."

"What's more, these three pursuits are not the only ones in this world."

"..."

"Do you remember that I told you that when I was practicing in Banyan Temple in Luoyang, I met a little novice monk. The abbot and the abbot picked it up by the river at the foot of the mountain. He raised him since he was a child. This child is naturally spiritual and has a predestined relationship with the Buddha. , he had just turned thirteen when I met you, and the abbot was already preparing to ordain him. "

Yu Mingyue nodded: "I've heard of it."

Yu Wenzhen said: "I heard a few days ago that when I left your village with you, the child's grandfather came to look for him. That man was the Secretary Cheng of Emperor Wen's Dynasty, but he retired and returned to his hometown when he was old. So he avoided the chaos in Dongdu, and the child was his daughter who was pregnant out of wedlock. He was worried about the shame of the family, so he abandoned the child in the river. "

Yu Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes suddenly opened wide.

Yu Wenzhen continued: "This old man has found his grandson and wants to find him to go back to his ancestors and give him a good education. With his family background and connections, if this child really follows him back, he will have a great future. As for everything, money and power are at your fingertips, so you can live a good life."

"..."

"However, the child still chose to stay in Banyan Temple and get tonsured. He devoted himself to pursuing Buddhism and refused to return to secular life."

Having said this, Yu Wenzhen looked at her indifferently: "His hard work will not make him live a better life. On the contrary, it will run counter to what you call 'good'. Is his pursuit inferior to those who pursue money?" , power, and loving people are unbearable?”

Yu Mingyue said nothing, her cheeks were slightly red, and her body was trembling.

After a while, she finally said in a voice that was trembling with excitement that she tried her best to suppress: "No, it's not..."

Her voice became lower and lower: "He won't, he will in the future, and his name will go down in history..."

Yu Wenzhen said lightly: "In the final analysis, everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. Using your own likes and dislikes to evaluate other people's desires is not only ignorant, but also unreasonable. There are gaps in the human heart, and inner demons arise because of regrets. There are countless desires, and there are different kinds of fighting, grabbing, pursuing, and seeking. All men, women, old and young, saints and beasts, should be treated equally."

"..."

"So in the final analysis, there is no so-called 'feminine', only different desires and means." "..."

Yu Mingyue finally recovered from the shocking things she had just learned, but she did not expect that Yu Wenzhen would say such words. She whispered: "So, you don't blame me?"

Yu Wenzuo glanced at her and said, "The cause of the matter lies with you. If you and Duke Wushan hadn't done what you did on your own initiative and asked your father to let Su Qinglan go, do you think General Ningyuan and Lou Liangdi would have done this?" Is it a bad idea?"

Yu Mingyue lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience.

No matter how tough she was or how she tried to excuse herself, at that time she was unhappy that Lou Chanyue had stolen her limelight, showed her face in front of the emperor, and might even threaten her as the Crown Princess, so she encouraged Yu Dingxing. To do those things, in the final analysis, she was indeed "femalely competing" with Lou Chanyue.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenzhen sighed lightly and said: "But this time, if you hadn't been worried about what I told you that day, I'm afraid you would have discovered their problems earlier, and you wouldn't have what happened today." thing."

"..."

"It's not that I don't blame you, I just hope you understand that a wise man takes one step and sees ten steps."

"..."

"And you—you're a smart person, too, but I want you to figure out how to be a smart person."

"..."

Yu Mingyue was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I understand."

"..."

"Then what happened this time——"

Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "The matter has reached this point and is irreversible. Now that you have dealt with Lou Liangdi, there are some things that I need to deal with."

Yu Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Leave it to me."

Yu Wenzhen looked at her in surprise, and Yu Mingyue whispered: "This matter this time - it is indeed caused by me, so I think it's better for me to solve it." As she said that, she felt deeply He glanced at Yuwen Sui: "I want to let you know that I am qualified to be your crown princess, and I am no worse than anyone else."

"..."

Yuwen looked at her in silence for a while, and finally breathed out: "Okay."

After saying this, the candle next to the shrine finally burned to the bottom. There was a soft "pop" sound, the candle flame went out softly in the wax oil, and the whole room suddenly fell into complete darkness.

In the prison on the other side, the darkness was a bit deeper and more solemn than the night, as if it was crowded from all directions, making people breathless.

Lou Yingxiong kept panting.

His life had been smooth sailing, and even though he had suffered several defeats, he had never been in a miserable state. This was his first time in prison, and he realized what it felt like to be locked up in prison, that cold, wet, suffocating feeling. Even if he has not been fully convicted and tried, it is enough to make life worse than death.

He huddled in the corner, sweating.

At this moment, a man suddenly walked through the corridor outside the cell. He was a jailer who had just changed his shift. He stopped outside the fence for a moment, reached out and threw something inside, then turned and left.
