Chu Qing's idol once wrote a sentence in "Hua Gai Ji. Miscellaneous Feelings", I will break one of your legs, throw you a crutch, and tell you, without me, you can't even walk, you have to thank me.
!
The queen said that the nobles robbed the common people of an acre of land, and the common people grew food for them. The nobles got 90% and the common people got 10%. The common people had to thank the nobles, otherwise the common people could not even afford to eat.
The queen smiled slightly: "Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. This sentence comes from Mencius. Do you think this sentence is correct, Commander Chu?"
"right."
Chu Qing was unswerving in his words, those who use their brains rule those who work as coolies.
There is nothing we can do about it. The minority governs the majority, and the elite governs ordinary people. As for the so-called minority obeying the majority, it does not apply here.
One hundred people had no food to eat, and ninety people had no way to find food. They were too lazy to go hunting in the mountains, so they just lay down and rotted away, living one day at a time.
The remaining ten people would rather go into the mountains and face wolves, tigers and leopards, knowing that they may not die if they go into the mountains, but they will definitely die if they don't have anything to eat.
Ninety people dare not, ten people dare, and ten people cannot do it. How can the minority obey the majority?
Therefore, the minority must convince the majority and lead the majority.
"The words are true. Who can judge who can work hard? People who work hard say they are suffering, tired, and need to work hard, but they are not happy with the other. Those who work hard are deeply afraid that there will be more people who work hard.
"
Chu Qing looked back, not to Tao Ruolin, but to Teacher Liao.
He dislikes talking about these "things said by the ancients" the most. He is not good at it and doesn't want to.
Tao Ruolin was there, and Liao Wenzhi was also there, and they all noticed Chu Qing's gaze.
But neither of them came forward, they just stood there quietly and listened quietly.
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and looked at the Queen: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, this hard worker needs the Queen to judge?"
"Worker."
Chu Qing's eyes twitched slightly: "People?"
"Workers cannot choose their own lives, but at least they should choose the people who lead their lives."
Chu Yuan took a breath of cold air.
This queen has already thought of a constitutional monarchy, right?
The queen showed a look of recollection and smiled lightly: "I have a dream. This dream has no name. I dare not have it. I only told it to one person. My father, I asked my father why the people are living so hard.
My father said that it was because of the oppression of the nobles. I didn’t understand. My father was also a noble, and the Wen family was also a noble. Why not be kinder to the people? My father said that the Wen family were nobles, but not all nobles were Wen people. I said, but father
The king is the head of the family and the king, can he make the people live a life without suffering? My father said it is very difficult, it is harder than reaching the sky, because he does not know how miserable the people are and cannot feel it. I asked why, and my father said it is because he is
Nobles, nobility cannot understand the suffering of the common people. If you do, you are not a noble."
Chu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please elaborate."
"Master Chu is indeed interested. At that time, I didn't understand. I had this dream to let the nobles experience the suffering of the people. Gradually, I understood what my father meant. The nobles could not understand it, even if it was
The common people turned into nobles. At first, they looked back, but did not dare to go back. Gradually, they did not even look back. The common people knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, not asking for the nobles to come back, but only asking for the nobles to come back.
I looked back and saw that the nobles were running faster. If they ran slowly, they would fall behind. Back in the past, if they wanted to run fast, they would have to kick and step on the common people. They were afraid of being kicked.
If you step on it, you will run faster."
After a pause, the Queen shook her head and said: "This is my dream. The people say, if you stop, the nobles will stop. The people say, if you come back, the nobles will come back. The people say, you are not a noble, then they..."
The queen lowered her eyes slightly and said softly: "I am no longer a nobleman. I will definitely realize this dream."
It was quiet and silent on the boat.
Liao Wenzhi shook his head and sighed.
Tao Ruolin looked at the queen's back, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Even the most heartless Wang Tianyu rarely thought about the meaning of these words.
"Standing on this boat, I can speak freely. It's great."
The queen smiled again, but this smile was a bit self-deprecating: "Chang Dynasty, do the people dare to scold the nobles?"
Chu Qing nodded.
Not to mention scolding, during the inspection in the capital, Qianqiying arrested many sons of aristocratic families, and the common people dared to rush in and beat them.
"The people of Silla dare not, they can only praise. Master Chu, do you know why?"
"have no idea."
"Because if you don't praise me, you will die."
Chu Qing has no interface.
He did know about this matter. It was all feudalism. Silla was more exaggerated than the Chang Dynasty, and the hierarchy was extremely strict.
Now in Changjing, the people in Nanshi got off work and sat together to brag and talk about the mountains. They said cheerfully that so and so of the Wang family was arrested by the Qianqi camp and behaved in such ugly ways. The people around them burst into laughter.
But if in Silla or in the royal court, who dares to say what a noble is doing, then his tongue will be cut out directly, which is still a minor matter. If it is more serious, he will be beaten to death with sticks, and the body will be hung in the most conspicuous position of the city gate.
Exposed to the sun for ten days.
"Master Chu, do you think it's funny?"
The queen's tone was full of an unexplainable meaning: "Everyone knows that the nobles are not good, and the people know it, but the people dare not say it, they can only praise it. The nobles also know that they are not good, and they also know that the people are scolding them in their hearts.
He can still listen to the people's mixed praises with peace of mind, isn't this a very funny thing?"
Speaking of the funny words, the queen herself laughed out loud: "When the Silla Kingdom only has the voice of praise and does not allow any free voice to appear, then the words that people say, the words that the common people say, the words that the nobles say, any words,
Any sound has no meaning."
"Yes, praise means nothing if criticism is not allowed."
"I'm so happy that I'm about to jump up because the people of Chang are here, and the commander of Chang's Qianqi Camp, Lord Chu Qingchu, is here."
Queen Rongde turned her head and looked at Chu Qing, with a real expression of joy on her face: "Let me tell you another secret."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly: "You say."
"My father was infected with a serious disease, and his health was deteriorating. It was a stubborn and incurable disease. In the last days, the most people visiting the palace were not the palace doctors, but the ministers and members of the Wen family. My father was in great pain, and he couldn't bear to die. But
There are always people asking to see him, saying they are worried and hoping that his father will recover soon. They see his father, but they are urging him to write an edict as soon as possible. They say they don't want his father to die, but what they show is that they don't want his father to die.
I want my father to die quickly. My father asked me to find the poisonous wine. He was in great pain. He couldn’t sleep in pain day and night. I found it. Looking at the poisonous wine, my father asked me, is my dream still there?
Now, my father gave me the edict and order with his left hand, and drank the poisoned wine with his right hand."
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically, as did all his friends.
King Wende, was it really the Queen who poisoned him to death?!
"What if..." Queen Yeongde's voice was not heavy, as if she was telling a trivial matter: "The palace doctor said that my father can still hold on for about half a year. How can a person as powerful as my father really not be able to bear the pain?"
And if he wants to commit suicide, he is just because of my dream. If it is delayed for another six months, the Wen family will take over the power. The sooner my father dies, the more chance my dream will come true. Therefore, my father drank the poisonous wine,
But he doesn’t know that my dream is there but out of reach.”
