"Yes, you are not worthy."
Lan Haiyue talked eloquently: "Philip is the most outstanding Wenlue among my many disciples. Although he is young now, he has wisdom and calmness. He is a piece of rough jade. In less than ten years, he will definitely be qualified for the position of prime minister! He is a prime minister! And Rodriguez is one of my disciples with the strongest martial arts skills. He is brave and loyal, has the strength of a holy rank, and has a firm and indomitable temperament. He is a rare martial arts talent. Others under your command General Longbottom is a geek. He often does things unexpectedly. He looks rough, but he is actually bold and careful. He is a general. If he meets a Ming Lord, he can at least be qualified for the position of a legion commander!! And Hou Your Excellency, needless to say, is a future banner figure that the temple has spent many years carefully cultivating! Now it is also under your command... Du Wei, think about it, on the mainland, who has a subordinate like you Such a wealth of talents? Oh, I almost forgot that there is also the green robe archmage. Not to mention your Decepticon squad, that group of magic apprentices with unlimited potential, and your wife, an eighth-level Magicians... so many talents, I can hardly count them all!!"
Du Wei couldn't help laughing bitterly after hearing this: "It's true to hear what you said. It seems that there are really countless good people around me."
"It's a pity that so many top powerhouses 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. You are not worthy of leading such a What a top-notch powerhouse!"
Du Wei is no fool. Of course he heard that the old man deliberately used these sharp words to provoke himself. So he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he thought about it seriously for a while: "Tell me, what is the "leader's awareness"?"
Seeing that the old man didn't speak. Du Wei couldn't help but continued: "I know. From a rational point of view, I have reasons to convince myself that the things I do are "right"! For example, sacrifice. If you can get greater benefits, sacrifice a small part. It is correct ground. It needs to be seen from the big picture. Not just some details. Have a big picture... ”
Du Wei still planned to continue talking. But Lan Haiyue interrupted him suddenly. Disdainfully said: "I'm not interested in discussing with you what things should or should not be. I'm also not 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? You should think about this question first."
Du Wei opened his mouth. Some tentatively tentatively said: "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: circles and crosses. You have to force me to admit that I am a villain to be happy
"Okay. Then I'm a bad guy." Du Wei sighed.
But what surprised him was. Lan Haiyue still shook her head: "Wrong again!"
Du Wei was stunned.
Lan Haiyue sighed. He 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 a young child to feed, but he had no money. He could only rob... the result was unfortunate. He was killed Caught. To most people. He is a bad man. A robber. But to his mother and young son: He is a good son. A good father. Because he is willing to risk himself. Just to be able Feed your loved ones."
Without waiting for Du Wei to speak. Lan Haiyue quickly said: "Let's give another example. His Majesty the Great Emperor Aragon a thousand years ago. He created the empire, unified the continent, and destroyed countless small countries! He is a great man of his generation. For the subjects and subordinates who loyally supported him, he Naturally, he is a good person. Greatly a good person! But what about those who have been wiped out by him? Aragorn is a butcher. An executioner. An invader."
Speaking of which. Lan Haiyue looked at Du Wei: "Tell me, the thief I mentioned is fine. The great founding emperor Aragorn is also fine...Which one of them is a good guy and who is a bad guy?"
Du Wei stared. Staring at Lan Haiyue: "I know what you want to say. There is no such thing as "good" and "bad". It's just a different position and perspective. The side that is against you is good, and the side that is hostile is bad... I understand what you said. But... this kind of statement is certainly reasonable, but if according to this kind of statement, people in this world, don't they all have no standard of good and evil? Well, if Everyone is like that. The world is messed up."
Lan Haiyue laughed, and he laughed out loud. Leaning forward and backward with a smile. It seemed that what Du Wei said couldn't be more absurd.
Du Wei looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion: "Am I wrong? But, shouldn't people have standards of right and wrong?"
"You are not only childish. You are also childishly cute." Lan Haiyue said with a smile on her face, "I finally know why my disciple Philip is now 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 the distinction between good and evil and good and bad! Otherwise, the world will be really messed up! But have you forgotten? You are not an ordinary person! You are not One of the "most people"! You are the leader! A leader who controls thousands of lives and 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 through the confusion in Du Wei's heart. Faintly, he seemed to understand something.
The old man's words sounded in Du Wei's ears like a blow to the head: "You will think in your heart: Is it right to do this, is it fair or not, is it moral... You struggled. Hesitated. Bewildered. It's not because you don't understand these things It makes sense! It’s because you put yourself in the wrong position! You put yourself in the perspective of an ordinary person to look at the problem! But you forget that you are a leader. You are not qualified to think like an ordinary person! "
blue ocean
The latter sentence woke Du Wei up: "Throughout the ages, any leader, any qualified and successful leader, would not think about problems with the criteria of good and evil or good and bad! They would not think about the morality of doing so. It's still immoral. Just thinking about whether it's OK or not! They don't think about whether it's good or bad, they only think about whether it's necessary or not!"
Du Wei was dumbfounded.
"That's why I said that you are not worthy of being a leader now, and 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 wondering if it fits the standard of a good person, and then thinking about it again later, I become a bad person...blah blah blah. Unfortunately, you forget that there are no "good guys" when it comes to leaders The difference from "bad guys"! 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 very serious: "I hope you don't just say it with your mouth, but you can really keep this in mind! Otherwise, you will always be just a weak ordinary person! You can't be a successful leader. I am not If you are blindly cold-blooded, a leader who is blindly cruel and cruel 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! Need, you understand?"
Du Wei closed his mouth and nodded.
"I'm really disappointed in you..." Lan Haiyue sighed, and he lay weakly on the chair: "Perhaps I'm asking too much of you. After all, it's only been three years since you got to where you are today Time. You are still very young. But as you said just now, 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, don’t be rigid Because of this way of thinking of ordinary people. In that case, not only will you suffer, but those who follow you will also be dragged down to death by you!"
Lan Haiyue actually stood up. He seemed to be struggling, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, staring at Du Wei: "I thought you were in a hurry to find me... It turned out that it was because of this boring trouble. Du Wei, I am really I want to scold you. What is the most difficult problem for you now? How to solve the problem in front of you as soon as possible! That double emperor, and the problem of the throne! You are on the same boat as Prince Chen. Yes, this question is very difficult... But at this time, you are still wasting your precious time and energy, thinking about the goddamn shit "morality"!!
Du Wei puffed out his chest. His tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Mr. Lan Haiyue, I know I was wrong! What you said today. I will firmly remember it!"
"Of course you have to remember." Lan Haiyue snorted: "Otherwise, I might as well recall my apprentices as soon as possible, lest they die in vain under your command."
A smile appeared on Du Wei's face immediately. He pulled a chair and sat next to Lan Haiyue: "Okay, forget about the topic just now. I really need your wisdom now. I have already explained this matter very clearly—what solution do you have? ?"
Lan Haiyue frowned: "You mean..."
"The throne!" Du Wei sighed: "Prince Chen has made up his mind that he is unwilling to inherit the throne. He can't let the royal family bow to the church in his hands, and you know, once such a low profile is done, there will be no more in the future." It's very difficult to reverse it. And as me, I don't want to see the damn church proud. So... Prince Chen is definitely not willing to be the emperor, so we have to find a way to let someone else be the emperor. And this substitute He can't hide it for long, after the day after tomorrow's banquet, we must find an emperor for this empire as soon as possible!"
"The regent means... the little prince Charlie?" Lan Haiyue frowned.
"That's why this is the problem." Du Wei smiled wryly: "Chen is not the emperor himself. If the throne is passed on to a ten-year-old child, everyone will oppose it. Is there any good reason?"
Lan Haiyue also frowned tightly, and he glanced at Du Wei: "You are too careless, Du Wei! You are only thinking about how to solve the problem of the throne? But you forgot, the premise is that at the banquet the day after tomorrow, your substitute can fool you Just pass the test! If there is no such premise, there is no need to talk about the following things."
"The banquet the day after tomorrow?" Du Wei thought for a while, "I don't think the problem should be too big. I've already prepared for the double, and I believe there won't be any flaws."
"But what if someone finds fault on purpose?" Lan Haiyue said coldly.
Du Wei: "..."
"You mentioned one thing just now. Prince Chen probably already knew about Hussein. And most of his news came from the church... That's right, the church and the royal family have been fighting for thousands of years. You have me, and I have You. There may be an undercover agent of Prince Chen in the church, but in the imperial palace, is there no secret thread from the church? Du Wei... You have to guard against such a big event! In case the church has secretly learned of the change, the day after tomorrow In the banquet, deliberately come up with some tricks... "
Du Wei's heart trembled, this is not impossible!
Lan Haiyue patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "I just want to remind you. How to do it is up to 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 leaned over...
"There are often many things that are clearly unreasonable, but if you find a way to make it sacred, make it mysterious, and make people look full of awe, then... no one will dare to doubt..." Lan Haiyue smiled: "For example, in the temple religious ceremonies to deceive the world... and..."
