Lan Haiyue talked eloquently: "Philip is the most outstanding one among my many disciples. Although he is young now, he has wisdom and composure. He is a piece of rough jade. Within ten years, he will definitely be qualified for the position of prime minister!"
He is a talented prime minister! And Rodriguez is the one with the strongest martial arts skills among my disciples. He is brave and loyal, has the strength of the holy level, and has a perseverance. He is a rare martial arts talent. The rest of your subordinates
Talent, General Longbottom is a weirdo. He often does things unexpectedly. He seems rough and arrogant, but in fact he is bold and careful. He is a talented general. If he meets a wise master, he can at least be qualified for the position of a regiment commander!! And Hou
Needless to say, Mr. Saiin is a future banner figure that the temple has spent many years carefully cultivating! Now he is under your command... Du Wei, think about it, who on the mainland can have such a command?
Do you have so many talents? Oh, I almost forgot about the great mage in green robes. Not to mention the Decepticon team under your command, the group of magic apprentices with unlimited potential, and your wife, an eight-year-old
Super magician...there are so many talents, I can hardly count them all!!"
Du Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this: "It's true what you said. It seems that there are really many talented people around me."
"It's a pity that so many top strong men are working for you, but you still don't have the consciousness to be a leader! So, Du Wei, I say you are not worthy at all! You are not worthy of being a leader, let alone such a leader.
What a top strong man!"
Du Wei was not a fool. Of course he heard that the old man was deliberately using these sharp words to provoke him, so he was not angry at all, but thought seriously for a while: "Tell me, what is the 'leader's consciousness'
?”
Seeing that the old man was silent, Du Wei couldn't help but continue: "I know, rationally speaking, I have reasons to convince myself that the things I did were 'right'! For example, sacrifice, if I can achieve greater benefits, sacrifice
A small part is correct. This needs to be looked at from the overall picture, rather than just looking at some details. We must have an overall view..."
Du Wei was about to continue talking, but Lan Haiyue suddenly interrupted him and said disdainfully: "I am not interested in discussing with you what should or should not be done, nor am I interested in discussing the overall situation with you."
"Huh?" Du Wei was stunned.
"I only ask you the first question, Du Wei." Lan Haiyue sneered: "Do you think you are a good person or a bad person? Think about this question clearly first."
Du Wei opened his mouth and tentatively asked, "Well... I think I'm a good person, right?"
"Wrong!" Lan Haiyue rejected Du Wei's statement without hesitation.
Du Wei was a little depressed: "It's so confusing, you have to force me to admit that I'm a bad guy to be happy?"
"Okay, then I can be considered a bad person." Du Wei sighed.
But what surprised him was that Lan Haiyue still shook his head: "Wrong again!"
Du Wei was stunned.
Lan Haiyue sighed and said leisurely: "Let me tell you a story: Once upon a time, there was a man who was very poor. He had an aging mother to support and young children to feed, but he had no money, so he could only rob...
...The result was unfortunate. He was caught. To most people, he was a bad person and a robber. But to his old mother and young son: he was a good son and a good father, because he did not hesitate to use
Even if you are in danger, you just want to be able to feed your loved ones."
Without waiting for Du Wei to speak, Lan Haiyue quickly said: "Let's take another example, His Majesty the Emperor Aragon a thousand years ago. He created an empire, unified the continent, and destroyed countless small countries! He was a great man of his generation. For the subjects who loyally supported him
To his subordinates, he is naturally a good man, a very good man! But to those who destroyed their country by him? Aragorn is a butcher, an executioner, and an invader."
Having said this, Lan Haiyue looked at Du Wei: "Tell me. Whether it's the thief I'm talking about or the great founding emperor Aragorn... who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?"
Du Wei stared at Lan Haiyue: "I know what you want to say. There is no such thing as 'good' and 'bad'. It's just that the positions and angles are different. It's good for you,
The enemy is the bad person...I understand what you said. But...this statement is certainly reasonable, but if you follow this statement, wouldn't everyone in this world be without good or evil?
Standard? Then, if everyone were like this, the world would be in chaos."
Lan Haiyue laughed, he laughed so hard that he laughed so hard, as if what Du Wei said couldn't be more ridiculous.
Du Wei looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion: "Am I wrong? But shouldn't people have standards of good and evil, right and wrong?"
"Not only are you naive, but you are also a bit cute." Lan Haiyue said with a smile on his face: "I finally know why my disciple Philip is willing to follow you wholeheartedly." After a pause, the old man raised his voice: "
Du Wei, you are right! Most of the world should have standards for distinguishing good from evil and good from bad! Otherwise, the world would really be in chaos! But have you forgotten? You are not an ordinary person! You are not'
A member of the majority of people! You are a leader! A leader who controls thousands of lives and thousands of burdens! It can be said that this is the real misunderstanding that you have always had conflicts in your heart!"
Lan Haiyue's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the confusion in Du Wei's heart. Faintly, he seemed to understand something.
The old man's words rang in Du Wei's ears like a wake-up call: "You will think in your heart: is it right to do this, is it fair or unfair, is it moral... You struggled, hesitated, and doubted. It's not because you don't understand these things.
The truth! But you have put yourself in the wrong position! You have put yourself in the perspective of an ordinary person to look at the problem! But you have forgotten that you are a leader and you are not qualified to think like an ordinary person!
"
Lan Hai's last words woke Du Wei up: "Throughout the ages, any leader, any qualified and successful leader, will not think about problems in terms of good and evil, or good and bad! They will not think about the consequences of doing so.
Morally or immorally, they only think about whether it is okay or not! They don’t think about whether it is good or bad. They only think about whether it is necessary or not!”
Du Wei was speechless.
"So I say you are not worthy of being a leader now, you are not worthy of having so many talents." Lan Haiyue sneered: "Because deep down in your heart, you still regard yourself as an ordinary person, an ordinary person with right and wrong, good and evil! You always
Is it because I want to do this? Is it in line with the standards of a good person? If I want to do this again later, I will become a bad person... Wait, wait, etc. Unfortunately, you have forgotten that for leaders, there are no 'good people'
The difference between a 'bad guy'! There is only a difference between a qualified leader and an unqualified leader!"
"As a leader, you shouldn't think about the so-called good and bad..." Du Wei muttered to himself.
Lan Haiyue's expression was serious: "I hope you don't just say it, but can really keep this in mind! Otherwise, you will always be just a weak ordinary person! You cannot become a successful leader. I am not
As long as you are blindly cold-blooded, a leader who is blindly cold-blooded is not a good leader! A good leader is kind when he should be kind and cruel when he should be cruel! But the standard is definitely not good or bad in the ordinary moral sense, but
As needed! As needed, you understand?”
Du Wei closed his mouth and nodded.
"I'm really disappointed in you..." Lan Haiyue sighed, lying weakly on the chair: "Maybe my demands on you are a little too high. After all, it only took you three short years to get to where you are today.
Years of time. You are still very young. But as you just said, your time is tight and there is no time for you to develop slowly and calmly according to the normal track. So you must mature as soon as possible and don’t
Don’t stick to this ordinary people’s way of thinking. In that case, not only will you suffer, but those who follow you will also be dragged to death by you!”
Lan Haiyue actually stood up. He looked like he was struggling. He held the armrests of the chair with both hands and stared at Du Wei: "I thought you came to me because of something urgent... It turned out to be because of this boring trouble.
Du Wei, I really want to scold you. What is your most difficult problem now? How to solve the problem in front of you as soon as possible! The substitute emperor, and the issue of the throne! You and Prince Chen are now
We are people on the same boat. This problem you are facing is very difficult...but at this time, you are still wasting your precious time and energy thinking about that damn bullshit 'morality'!!
Du Wei puffed up his chest and his tone was more serious than ever before: "Mr. Lan Haiyue, I know I was wrong! I will keep your words in mind today!"
"Of course you have to remember." Lan Haiyue snorted: "Otherwise, I might as well recall my disciples as soon as possible to prevent them from dying in vain under your command."
A smile immediately appeared on Du Wei's face, he pulled up a chair and sat next to Lan Haiyue: "Okay, forget the topic just now. I really need your wisdom now. I have already said this.
I understand. Do you have any solution?"
Lan Haiyue frowned: "You mean..."
"The throne!" Du Wei sighed: "Prince Chen has made up his mind that he does not want to inherit the throne. He cannot let the royal family bow to the church in his hands, and you know. Once such a low posture is done, he will not do it again in the future.
It would be difficult to reverse it. And as for me, I don’t want to see that damn church being proud. So...Prince Chen definitely doesn’t want to be the emperor. Then we have to find a way to let someone else be the emperor. And this
He can't hide the substitute for long. After he was fooled at the banquet the day after tomorrow, we must find an emperor for this empire as soon as possible!"
"What the regent means...little prince Charlie?" Lan Haiyue frowned.
"So this is the problem." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "This guy Chen is not the emperor himself. If he passes the throne to a ten-year-old child, everyone will object. Is there any good reason?"
Lan Haiyue also frowned tightly. He glanced at Du Wei: "You are too careless, Du Wei! You only think about how to solve the problem of the throne? But you forgot, the premise is that your substitute can fool you at the banquet the day after tomorrow.
You have to pass the test! If there is no such prerequisite, there will be no need to talk about the following things."
"The banquet the day after tomorrow?" Du Wei thought for a moment: "I think it won't be a big problem. I have already made preparations for the substitute, and I believe there will be no flaws."
"But what if someone deliberately seeks trouble?" Lan Haiyue said coldly.
Du Wei: "..."
"You mentioned something just now. Prince Chen probably already knew about Hussein. And his news probably came from the church... Yes, the church and the royal family have been fighting for thousands of years. You win, I win, and I win.
With you. There may be Prince Chen's undercover agent in the church, but isn't there a hidden line from the church in the palace? Du Wei... You have to be on guard against such a big thing! In case the church has secretly learned that things have changed,
At the banquet the day after tomorrow, I deliberately used some tricks..."
Du Wei's heart trembled, this is not impossible!
Lan Haiyue patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "I'm just reminding you. How to do it depends on you. As for the issue of the throne, I may have an idea... You can listen to it..."
Du Wei's eyes lit up and he moved closer...
"Often many things are obviously irrational, but if you find a way to make them sacred and mysterious, making people look full of awe, then... no one will dare to doubt..." Lan Haiyue smiled: "For example
Those religious rituals in the temple that deceive the world...and..."
