Beauty has a disease

Chapter 94
Then Wang Xingzhi told Yu Jin and Teng Yanyun some of his experiences during his travels.

Focus on one aspect of the imperial court.

In Wang Xingzhi's words, most of these officials do not do practical things with their salaries, but use their power to bully the people. Even their children in their families seem to be superior to others.

Everything is too dark.

"So I started thinking, what were they like before, what are they like now, what got them where they are now."

"Then I figured it out. It was the imperial examination. It was the imperial examination that selected these moths. It was the imperial examination that allowed these moths to exert more harm."

Ember: "So you don't want to continue the imperial examination."

Ember was silent, she stroked her chin twice, and suddenly smiled, "Just for this?"

Wang Xingzhi shook his head, "Not entirely."

Of course, Ember knew not all of it, because she knew very well that the formation of a result is often caused by the joint efforts of many factors, and the knot in Wang Xingzhi's heart is naturally not as simple as he said.

Just like how he repeatedly questioned himself after seeing the chaos, it can be seen that the complexity in his heart at that time could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"Then let me ask you, do you understand the various states of sentient beings now?"

Wang Xingzhi nodded and shook his head as he did when he first heard this question from Ember, and said, "I don't know."

Ember nodded and said, "Then do you remember what I said?"

"remember."

"That's it." Ember said, "Although I can't say I understand all kinds of living beings, I know what living beings are like. Regardless of your age, I have experienced more than you."

After saying that, Ember pointed to Teng Yanjun and said, "Even Yanjun has experienced more than you, and can see more clearly than you."

Teng Yanjun didn't quite understand, but it didn't prevent her from blindly worshiping and applauding, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Prince Wang." Ember sighed, "You still have too little experience."

Wang Xingzhi looked straight at Ember, and he asked, "How to prove it? Then what do you think those things should look like, and what should I do?"

"I can tell you what it looks like."

Ember thought for a while, "Let's take this flood in the south of the Yangtze River as an example. There was a lot of rain in summer, which caused the river to burst its embankment and flood the town, and the displaced people were everywhere, right?"

"Yes."

"Then do you think there should be these refugees logically?"

"There should be, but the government should do something, and should properly resettle the refugees."

"The government did it." Ember said.

"No." This was Wang Xingzhi's retort.

"The government has done it, and the imperial court has done something." Ember changed his posture and continued: "Let's let the government do it for a while, and let's talk about refugees. Do you think the cash flow of refugees is just as simple as flooding their residences?" ?"

"Is not it?"

Ember shook her head, "Of course not."

"The most important reason why refugees appear is because the land is flooded, the crops are completely destroyed, and the people can't afford to eat. That's why there are refugees."

"Eating is about survival. Whether you can afford to eat is the most fundamental question."

"The blame for natural disasters and man-made disasters, although it cannot be said that the government is not at fault at all, but it cannot be blamed on the government."

Ember said that her mouth was dry, and she drank some water to moisten her throat before continuing: "You can't see things too one-sidedly."

It seemed that Ember had said everything up to this point, but after careful consideration, it seemed that she hadn't said anything.

"Didn't you want to talk about all kinds of beings?"

"That's right." Ember nodded, "Don't worry, let me speak slowly."

Ember considered his language again, "On the surface, refugees belong to the weak, while government officials have power and money in their hands, so they belong to the strong, and the strong protect the weak. This seems to be an eternal truth, but in my opinion, it is not true. Why is it reasonable?"

"Is the weak necessarily weak? Is the strong necessarily strong? Is there a weak among the strong? Is there a strong among the weak?"

"The refugees are innocent, but should they cause trouble? Just like the lady we saw on the official road a few days ago, regardless of her family background, let's talk about the issue of the refugees blocking the car. They can wantonly hurt her in order to survive." Is there someone who helped them? Is this weakness?"

Ember snorted, and said sarcastically, "It's clearly a group of bullying people!"

But in order to survive, people often do a lot of horrible things, and it is very trivial for refugees to stop cars.

"There is also a group of officials who don't appease and think of countermeasures in time. They are in their positions but don't seek their own government. They are also a group of people who are trying to gain fame. It's just a part of it. There are still many people who do practical things for the people. The flood in the south of the Yangtze River The imperial court has sent people to govern, and it has achieved initial results, can you deny the achievements of these people?"

Naturally not.

Wang Xingzhi shook his head.

"People have joys, sorrows, sorrows and fears. Things have pros and cons. Good and bad are relative, not absolute. There are good and bad refugees, and so are officials. You can't knock everyone down just because you see injustice. That's not right. fair."

This is not fair.

With a bang, Wang Xingzhi's brain seemed to be blown open by something. It is so obvious that there is no absolute truth, and he still can't see it through.

"Think about it first, take a good look along the way, especially when you arrive at Shuntian Mansion, take a good look at how Duan Gelao and other officials are doing, and then think about what an official is, and whether you want to be an official. Ember patted her body and stood up, "Let's continue our journey and try to find a place to stay before the sun goes down."

The three continued on their way.

"Like light and dust, it depends on how you choose."

Teng Yanyun and Yu Jin walked in front, and Wang Xingzhi put away the apron and took a step behind. He looked at Yu Jin's back, remembered what Yu Jin said, and was thoughtful.

Is it as light as dust?
"Sister, what does Mr. Ge mean?"

"It's an official title."

"What's the name of the old man who came to deal with the flood?"

"Duan Chang."

"Wow, the surname is Duan!"

"What's wrong with Duan?"

Teng Yanjun replied in a cheerful voice: "I heard that there is a very famous Miss Duan in the capital, who is also from the hometown of a pavilion. Everyone knows it, and her life experience is very tortuous."

"Oh, really."

"Yes, yes, I heard that Ms. Duan was replaced by an impostor before, and after many twists and turns, she returned home. Although she has been living abroad for many years, she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented woman in the capital!"

"Where did you know that?"

Teng Yanyun shook her head very proudly, she raised her head and smiled at Ember twice, "I heard it, of course I heard it, I heard it from a scholar."

Teng Yanjun circled around Ember, "But that kind of talented girl is definitely not as good as my sister."

Ember snorted: "Slick tongue."

Teng Yanjun said that this is called telling the truth, and turned around to wave to Wang Xingzhi who was behind, "Uncle Xingzhi, follow up!"
