Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

39. Ballads:

There are many nursery rhymes in troubled times, but actors in peace flourish

~

After the song fermented, some people began to commotion. They took to the streets and shouted:"When a woman enters the court, there will be chaos in the court, the future is unknown, and the Blue Lake is in turmoil."……"

They just shouted slogans on the street, but the local government paid little attention to them, thinking that they were just venting their emotions and that they would feel calm after venting. Unexpectedly, the parade did not stop. The number of people doubled for the second time, then the third time, and the fourth time, and the number continued to increase.

Realizing that something was unusual, the local government posted a notice warning that the parade should not affect people's lives or hinder shop business, and advised that if you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the government office to appeal. The door of the government office is open to the people, and no one has come to the government office in the past few days. In response to the situation, the number of people taking to the streets continues to increase and becomes more frequent.

The ballad spread from the south to Chenzhou through Dongdu. When Su Su found out that the people in the south took to the streets to oppose women entering the court, he went to Suini and asked Suini why he didn't report it immediately if he knew it. Seeing Su Su's frustrated expression, Suini advised:"Master Governor, we can just do a good job in Chenzhou. The south is not under our jurisdiction and the court will deal with it. I hope you will not be affected by these rumors and focus on farming. Su Su obviously couldn't listen:"

What if the people in Chenzhou also take to the streets?""

"No, those are unruly people. The people in Chenzhou are hardworking and kind."Suini

"How do you know not?"Susu

"Since the governor came to Tianpu Society, he has always thought about the people. We have a clear conscience and the people will take their feelings into consideration."Suini.

Suini's words did not comfort Susu. Susu began to wonder, doesn't Dongfu country need people like her? She began to doubt her own intelligence, and gradually lost confidence. This kind of unadjustable mental state The imbalance made her suffer so much that no matter what she ate every day, it was tasteless, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep every night. Su Su felt a force pushing her from behind, and she became a field supervisor without knowing it, and then became the governor of Chenzhou unknowingly. , there is another more powerful force obstructing the Blue Lake tax, but now the song that appears thousands of miles away is pointed at herself. She doesn't like to be manipulated by others, and doesn't like the feeling of having no choice but to do so. But she was helpless. That night she sat in front of the desk and picked up a pen.

Early the next morning, Daozhi came to the governor's house and saw Su Su lying on the desk with a memorial under it, and her saliva flowed from the memorial to On the table.

Su Su didn't wake up until midnight. It seemed that writing this memorial made her feel relieved a lot. When she opened her eyes, she was still in low spirits. She was wondering why no one came to call her at this time today. Her eyes were still open. After fully adapting to the light, she saw Daozhi sitting opposite and staring at her. She realized her own image and quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. After wiping it for a few times, it was not wiped off. She simply ignored it and looked at Daozhi in a disappointed manner.

Look. Seeing that Su Su, who had always paid attention to her image, became like this, Dao Zhi was both irritated and endearing:"The imperial court has a legal system and a dignified governor. The imperial official was actually made like this by a group of unruly people's rumors. Look at you." Now, when the people see what you are like now, they believe those songs are true even if they are not true. Where has the former smart and confident Susu that even the seniors admired gone?"

After speaking, Daozhi handed over the bronze mirror that he had been holding for a long time. Su Su took the mirror and saw herself, with her hair scattered, red marks on her face on the table, and even ink, and dry saliva at the corner of her mouth. He was in a very embarrassed state, knowing that he would not be able to recover for a while, so he was embarrassed and said discouragedly:

"Maybe I shouldn't be the governor of Chenzhou"

"Women have been in charge of government affairs since ancient times. The governor is appointed by your majesty. If you make a mistake, it is not your turn."Daozhi

"It's my fault that I entered the court as a woman."Su Su no longer agrees with Daozhi's statement.

"Not everything can be perfect. The so-called perfection is only for individuals. It cannot make everyone feel perfect. No matter what you do, there are always some people who are dissatisfied with everything. As a parent and official, you should look at the overall situation and work for the benefit of the majority of the people. As long as you serve the people wholeheartedly, be worthy of God, be worthy of others, and be worthy of your heart, why should you care about anything else?"

"Is there anyone who opposes you as well?"Susu

"No matter which kingdom it is, only 20% make great contributions to the country. On the contrary, there are always 20% saboteurs. They are born dissatisfied. Because most people are silent, the voices of this part of the dissatisfaction are particularly loud. It takes 80% or more effort to accomplish something, but it is much easier to destroy it, not even 10% is needed. It's the same in the military, there are always saboteurs."Daozhi

"How do you deal with it?"

"If you can reason, then reason. If you can't, just talk about the law. Those who don't follow the law are breaking the law, and those who violate the law need to be punished."Daozhi

"Kill them, but those are kind people."Susu

"Kind-hearted people should be sensible and talk about the law. Farmers even know that if they want farmers to thrive, they must eradicate weeds, let alone humans. I'm going to the south to have a look, don't worry, do what you think is right and don't be influenced by others."Daozhi took the memorial full of saliva and tore it in half.

Su Su was still unsure, so she returned to the hut. What her father said was similar to Tao Zhi.

"Father, can Tao solve this problem?"

"Everyone's responsibilities are destined by God, just do your duty"

"Father is confident?"

"In recent decades, I have been observing the stars every night. The Dongfuxing star has been covered by fog and has always been dim. My father is always worried about the disappearance of this star. Then it suddenly shines in the dimness. The fog also makes the star shine even more.." Mr. Yan

"So the star trails have changed?"Susu

"Now I see that he is the only one who can shake things up and dispel the fog."Mr. Yan.

Su Su is thinking that recent events are always unexpected, and indeed thrilling.

"Father, does Dao really have such great ability?"

"The so-called ability is actually to appear in a favorable place at a favorable time and do the most advantageous thing. The Tao is to be good at using people and be able to seize the opportunity." Mr. Yan

"Is it me who the people are against this time?"Susu

"They are not targeting you, but the position of governor of Chenzhou, but you happen to be in this position. Chenzhou is a major grain production area in Dongfu. It has huge interests and all parties want to control it. When the power is focused here, there will inevitably be a collision. Some people help you ascend to the throne, while others want to pull you down." Mr. Yan

"Father, what should I do next?"

"Stick to your original intention, stick to your own principles, and don't compromise with anyone. Yan Lao

"So can we deal with it before we go there?"Susu

"I don’t know." Mr. Yan looked at his daughter, and it was inevitable that there would be hardships in the process of growing up.

"Father, what happened to the past of Tao?"Su Su became more and more curious about this senior.

"The past is what he was like in the past, what matters is what he is now."Su Su knew that her father was deliberately avoiding it, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Although Su Su was a prostitute, she was also passionate. She wanted to do more for Dongfu Country, but the songs made her a little discouraged. Tao Zhi said They knew that what was coming was bound to come, and they were just waiting for what form he would appear in. What happened in the south was by no means the whims of a few unscrupulous people, it should be organized and purposeful actions, and the power to promote them was the key.
