Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1001 Why can’t there be fake bad guys?

Xiao Chuanyi smiled.

Leaning back and forth with laughter.

His laughter made Liu Yao confused and stunned.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Yao couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? You should tell me!"

Xiao Chuanyi covered his lips: "It's not as mysterious as His Highness thinks. Chuanyi is just a little more talented than others."

Liu Yao glared at him: "Don't be so scary in the future. You also know that I am not afraid of being scared."

Chuanyi filled Liu Yao with tea again, then held his head and looked at him seriously: "If your highness has anything on your mind, you might as well talk to Chuanyi."

"Although Chuanyi can't answer questions, you can listen carefully. Not even a single sentence of what Your Highness said to Chuanyi will be heard in this room."

Liu Yao lay on the table, weak.

He said: "You know what? I went to Northern Xinjiang and saw too much bloodshed and sacrifice. I no longer want to live in ignorance and want to make changes."

"But in my whole life, no one has ever told me what I should do in order to be a qualified prince."

"So this idea stayed in my heart and never came true, until that day/your sixth aunt looked at me with that look..."

"That look, how should I put it? It's not disgust or disgust, it's actually pity. Yes, she thinks this king is very pathetic."

Having said this, Liu Yao smiled bitterly again.

"From that day on, I made up my mind to be a man who can stand upright and at least have the ability to protect everything I care about."

"So I, the King, have done my duty faithfully and decided to do a good job as the censor of the city first, starting from small things and starting from my own job."

"But just at the beginning, reality taught me a hard lesson. I was confused and didn't know the meaning of all this."

Xiao Chuanyi listened silently.

After a moment, he spoke: "I don't know if this metaphor is correct. Your Highness, just listen to it. If you feel it is wrong, just listen to it."

Liu Yao weakly raised his eyes: "Please tell me and listen."

Xiao Chuanyi said: "Whether it's martial arts or literature, there are very few people in this world who are talented in these two areas."

"Many people obviously don't have the slightest talent, and they can only achieve success by studying hard. But they still study hard and practice hard, sharpening their swords for ten years."

"They do this because they have faith in their hearts. For the faith in their hearts, they can accept their limited talents and make up for their shortcomings in other aspects."

"The situation your Highness is facing now is actually the same as studying literature and martial arts. The reason why His Highness is confused may be because his belief is not firm enough, or maybe it is because His Highness has not yet found the meaning of perseverance."

Liu Yao slowly straightened up, as if he had realized some truth.

But then came other confusions.

He said: "My mother-in-law warned me that only by stepping on others can we avoid being bullied and persecuted."

"I want to be an upright man, but this uprightness is worthless in the face of power struggles."

"Even if I have faith in my heart, if I am allowed to do whatever it takes and do all the bad things, then even if I achieve my goal, what's the point?"

Xiao Chuanyi was silent for a moment, and then asked him: "Your Highness, there are fake good people in this world, why can't there be fake bad people?" Liu Yao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Chuanyi slowly explained: "Some people are bad, but they use good deeds to disguise themselves and achieve their dirty and despicable purposes."

"But on the other hand, why can't we use some absurd behavior as a disguise in order to get a good ending?"

Liu Yao sat upright, his expression becoming particularly serious: "Do you think so?"

Xiao Chuanyi nodded: "Sir, as you said, good and bad in this world are not black and white. There is no clear line between good and bad."

"Your Highness, you said that right and wrong are meaningless in the face of the struggle for power. If this fight for power is not like a vicious dog fighting for food and trying to satisfy itself, then it must be wrong?"

Liu Yao fell into deep thought, and then he spoke after a while: "I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Chuanyi said with a smile: "If I were Your Highness, I would not embody an upright and upright life on any small matter."

"When things go to extremes, they must be reversed. If you are too upright, it is not a good thing, but it is a failure of flexibility."

"Everything has a workaround. There is a balance between yin and yang in everything in the world. We can find a balance point instead of choosing yin or yang."

Liu Yao rubbed his temples: "If you speak more plainly and understandably, I will be grateful to you."

Xiao Chuanyi cleared his throat: "Sorry, I read too many books and unconsciously want to chew on words. I also know that this is very annoying, and I will try my best to change it."

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea.

"Take His Highness's current situation as an example. If His Highness wants to gain the power to protect his beloved, he must consider two aspects."

"The first is His Majesty's favor. If His Majesty's Sacred Heart is with you, you will have the power to control the wind and rain."

"So His Highness needs to please His Majesty. There is a trick to please His Majesty. It is not to do what His Majesty thinks His Majesty will like, but to do what His Majesty likes."

Liu Yao quickly retorted: "But, Father, he..."

Liu Yao couldn't say the rest.

As a son and a minister, he really couldn't say that his father was stupid and ignorant.

Xiao Chuanyi understood what he meant and immediately said: "Isn't this coming back again? Others can pretend to be good people, but in order to please His Majesty, His Highness pretends to be something His Highness doesn't like, so what?"

"As long as His Majesty can not forget his original intention, why bother to stick to the way he does things? From now on, if His Majesty likes something, you can pretend to like His Majesty; if His Majesty hates something, you will hate it even more than him."

"Everything goes as it should and your Majesty has your heart. Your Majesty will rely on you and trust you in every possible way, just like he trusts Qin Fengye."

After Liu Yao thought deeply, he chuckled: "What you said is somewhat similar to what my mother and concubine said."

Xiao Chuanyi smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The imperial concubine is well versed in how to survive in the harem. In that cruel environment, she has her own rules for survival."

"But His Highness's vision and world are not in that corner of the sky. There are walls in all four directions. His Highness has more choices than the Imperial Concubine."

"In short, Your Highness can choose not to become the kind of person the Imperial Concubine said. Your Highness's goal is still His Majesty's favor, and we can achieve the same goal through different paths."

Liu Yao nodded: "It makes some sense, and I don't know why. I can accept these words from your mouth. This is the first one, but what about the second one?"
