Chapter 366 Voices
Faced with Qin Tan's question, Qin Hui rarely got angry. He knew that his secret would eventually need to be shared with one person, and this person could only be his grandson Qin Tan. Only he could not only inherit the bloodline
He gave up his own life, and in the future he would inherit the power and everything of the Qin family and support the Qin family. He could tell this secret to him.
After everyone was screened out and the entire second study room was cleared, Qin Hui asked Qin Tan to sit in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Qin Tan, do you know what is the most important thing in this world?"
"Power? Status? Reputation? Money? Women?" Although he didn't know why Qin Hui asked this question, Qin Tan answered everything he could think of that was important. Unfortunately, Qin Hui shook his head and rejected his answer.
"Grandpa, then I don't know what it is. My grandson has little knowledge, so he still asks grandpa to teach him," Qin Tan said.
Qin Hui chuckled, reached out and patted Qin Tan on the head, and said in a deep voice: "Silly grandson, the most important thing in this world is your little life. Life is the most precious thing. Without life, you
Everything you said is gone. Do you understand?"
Qin Tan suddenly realized: "Oh, my grandson is so stupid, he didn't think that the most precious thing is life."
Qin Hui smiled faintly and said: "Moreover, life is the most fair thing that God treats everyone. You see, everyone is born with only one life. It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or a general or a commoner. I don't care about you."
Whether you are smart or stupid, you only have one life. The emperor is a noble person, so what? Isn’t he like everyone else, he only has one life? How can it be possible to say long live and endless life? Throughout the ages, many emperors and generals have
I hope to live forever and never die. But who can do it? Those are all vain fantasies. There is only one life, and there is only one life. So the most precious thing for everyone at that time was all the power, wealth, money and women
Wait for the basis of everything. Do you admit it?"
Qin Tan nodded and said, "My grandson admits that life is the most important thing."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Because life is the most important, saving one's life is the most important thing. Even if it is to save one's life, it is acceptable to make some inappropriate actions. As the saying goes, ants still live in vain, this is the truth
Those words written on trees about sacrificing one's life for righteousness are all lies. You must not believe those people's lies. They just want others to sacrifice their lives for righteousness. It is others who are willing to die, but they themselves are not willing to die.
."
Qin Tan smiled and said: "Grandpa has an insight into world affairs, and my grandson actually understands this truth. The things written in those books are all nonsense. My grandson doesn't believe those nonsense."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Very good. There is one more thing, Grandpa will also tell you. The so-called black and white good and evil in this world, the so-called things like being famous in history, are all false. Those things mentioned in the history books, the so-called praises
Heroes, benevolence, justice, loyalty and filial piety are all fake. What is loyalty, evil, good and evil? They are all written by people. Those who win can write the results in history books at will. Just like Qin Shihuang back then, now
It is said that he was the first emperor who unified the world.
An amazing god-like figure. But, let me ask you, if the Six Kingdoms had defeated Qin back then, what would the history books have written about him? They would certainly not have written about his great talent and great ambition to unify the world, but they would have ridiculed him for not overestimating his own abilities and overestimating himself.
Take it and destroy it. So, the so-called black and white, good and evil, loyalty and traitor, depends on which angle you look at it. Chu and Han fought, and Liu Bang won and conquered the world, so his subordinates are heroes, and history books will praise them. If
Xiang Yu won? Aren’t Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others traitors?”
Qin Tan nodded and said solemnly: "What grandpa said is absolutely true. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. History is written by the victor. In fact, it cannot be regarded as the truth."
Qin Hui nodded in approval and said in a deep voice: "As long as you understand. As far as the present is concerned, your grandfather and I have all the power, so we can be regarded as winners. Look at those scholars, who are praising me and giving me the status of saint.
In the name of ', some people built me a shrine, asked me to add nine tins, etc., and there were all sorts of tricks. The historians also wrote in the history books that I was a good and loyal minister that no one in the past could match. Let me ask, if I
They failed to overthrow Yue Fei and the others back then, but were overthrown by Yue Fei and the others. Or perhaps in recent years, there are no means to deal with those guys who bark at me every day, and if they are unable to stand up, they will still be able to do it.
Are you treating me like this? When I fall, there will be a lot of scolding. The historians will definitely follow the trend and say that I am the most traitorous official in the history. Then you say, I will still care about the so-called black and white loyalists and the like.
Words? Because they change completely with the direction of the wind and are worthless."
Qin Tan said in a deep voice: "What grandpa said is absolutely true. My grandson has really learned a lesson."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Qin Tan, you are my grandson, and my blood is flowing in your body, so I am telling you these things. There are too many rules and shackles in this world. Once you are framed, you will be
If you are shackles and shackles, you will be hesitant and hesitant when you act, and you will fall completely into the trap that others want you to enter. I will not be bound by these so-called rules and shackles. When I act, firstly,
For the sake of this head. Without this head, there is nothing to talk about. The second is to become a winner. Because only the winner can customize the rules and decide what is black, what is white, what is loyalty, and what is traitor.
Only the winner can have the results he wants to see written in black and white in the history books, so that fools in future generations can read them and regard them as true."
Qin Tan took a breath and said: "Grandpa's teachings, my grandson will always remember them in his heart."
Qin Hui nodded, looked at Qin Tan and said softly: "Having said so much, grandpa can now answer your question. You want to know what the stolen thing is. Before telling you what it is, grandpa
I want to ask you something. Many people say that I am a masterpiece of the Jin Dynasty. Do you think I am?"
Qin Tan looked at Qin Hui's eyes, and he found that his grandfather's eyes were like bottomless black holes, deep and cold, like an abyss. This look was very scary. Qin Tan looked at Qin Hui's eyes, his heart was beating wildly, and he was inexplicably frightened.
"Grandpa..." Qin Tan swallowed his foam and said.
"Just say it, grandpa will never blame you. Just say what you think in your heart." Qin Hui said in a deep voice.
Qin Tan calmed down and whispered
Said: "My grandson... my grandson believes that grandpa will not be anyone's trick. If grandpa did something, it would be your most appropriate choice at that moment. It was for the benefit of my Qin family, not
others."
Qin Hui looked at Qin Tan steadily, which made Qin Tan feel hairy in his heart. Suddenly, Qin Hui burst into laughter.
"You are indeed my grandson, Qin Hui. To be able to say these words means that you have understood and understood what I just taught you. Qin Tan, you are right, I just did what I should do."
It's just a choice. If you don't have the nerve to explain it clearly, grandpa will tell you. Grandpa is indeed a master of the Jin Kingdom. Hahaha, I have never told anyone this secret in the past twenty years. It feels really refreshing to be able to tell it today.
Back then, Emperor Huiqin and I and tens of thousands of our subjects were kidnapped and went north. What we experienced along the way was like a nightmare. I truly experienced first-hand what it means to be a world where the jungle prevails. In the face of barbarism, fist martial arts is the last word. Others
Everything is waste and useless."
"Emperor Huizong could write poems and paintings, and he could write in thin gold calligraphy, but so what? Once he was defeated by his opponent, wouldn't he be barked around like a dog, without any dignity at all? What else could he do?
The emperor's concubines, the Jin men trampled them, humiliated them and tortured them at will. Reason? Who can tell you the truth? Those ministers who are righteous and stern seem to be righteous and loyal ministers, but what's the use?
?They were really loyal ministers. They should have died on the battlefield instead of surrendering. They should have made plans in advance instead of letting the Song Dynasty slip into the abyss without being able to do anything about it. I learned a lot of things along the way. So, I chose
I don't want to compromise. I don't want to pretend to be hypocritical. I don't want to risk my life for those two incompetent emperors. Life is mine. I had no choice before but to sell my life to the court. But at that time
, I had a choice, so I naturally chose to save my life.”
Qin Tan listened quietly without saying a word. In fact, he had long suspected that his grandfather was really a spy of the Jin Kingdom, but he did not dare to think too much about this kind of thing. He could only make random guesses sometimes. When
When Qin Hui frankly said that he was a craftsman, Qin Tan was unexpectedly not too surprised. Perhaps, he had already been mentally prepared.
"Qin Tan, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly. You are my grandson, and I will not hide anything from you. I will tell you whatever you want to know and whatever you doubt. If you feel scared, I will tell you
I don’t blame you for being timid. I don’t care if I am careful or not, because I follow my own heart and for the safety of my Qin family. Others... what do they matter? I have seen through them. The Jin people...
…Song Dynasty, Wanyan clan...Zhao clan, none of them care about our lives and feelings, and they can’t protect us. We can only protect ourselves. The Jin people said, if you don’t surrender, they will kill the entire Qin family.
, I surrendered. That's all. Zhao can't protect his subjects, why should I not surrender? Do you understand what I mean?" Qin Huixu said, feeling a little excited and panting.
Qin Tan said softly: "Grandpa, you did the right thing. Grandpa, my grandson understands your thoughts. My grandson really understands your thoughts. I am your grandson, and your thoughts and mine are connected. Grandpa,
