"That's it… ?!"
Frankly speaking, Fubao was quite doubtful about life when he saw the crowd disperse.
Originally, she had planned to show the toughness of the old Xu family here, that is, the people of the old Xu family are very good at fighting.
But in the end, after she just said something and sat at the gate of the county government office for a while, all the people who had gathered dispersed.
What about the promised release of Chu Xiuyan
Why is it such an anticlimax
"Boring!"
Fubao turned back to the county government office with some depression.
Before coming out, she had thought that Chu Xiuyan was an upright and good official. He had a very high prestige in Maoyuan County and the people loved him very much. But the fact made Fu Bao very hurt. The people actually abandoned Chu. Practice words.
It doesn’t make sense!
"Mother Cai, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Chu Xiuyan's official reputation in Maoyuan County is very good, and the people have gathered together. Why did they disperse so quickly?"
"I can't understand this either!"
Cai's mother was even more puzzled than Fu Bao.
Originally, she had been prepared to do whatever it took, but as a result, things took a turn for the worse, almost causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out.
"Is it true that good people are not rewarded?"
After coming with his heart, the people of Maoyuan County dispersed. Fubao was quite disappointed.
Although it is quite difficult for people to gather in crowds, at least it is in line with Fubao's values, that is, hard work always pays off.
But in fact, Chu Xiuyan had done a lot for the people of Maoyuan County, but in the end, he was completely abandoned.
What about conscience
Won't it hurt
Fu Bao returned to the county government office, sat there for a while, and then went to the county government prison again. She had to talk to Chu Xiuyan.
Before, Fubao wanted to embarrass Chu Xiuyan with the philosophical issue that troubled many people in later generations. Now that he thinks about it, this is really a bit inhumane.
Chu Xiuyan was a good official, but his stance was different, so he was on the opposite side of her. Putting all these aside, Fubao admired Chu Xiuyan based on his experience as an official.
An honest official, a good official, make decisions for the people and do things for the people.
There are many officials in the world, but there is probably only one in a million who can do what Chu Xiuyan does. But it was Chu Xiuyan who was given up by the people of Maoyuan County.
Fubao felt unfair for Chu Xiuyan, and felt aggrieved for Chu Xiuyan in his heart.
"That's it?"
In the prison, Chu Xiuyan was happy after hearing what Fu Bao said.
"Defu County Lord, although you are smarter than ordinary people, you still don't understand the people's hearts!"
"The sage has something to say, and the people can follow it but not understand it."
"The common people are a very simple group of people. You can say that they know right from wrong, and they also understand this. However, it will be too difficult for you to let them fight for the right and wrong in their hearts."
"Why?"
Fubao looked at Chu Xiuyan humbly and asked for advice.
"Because of fear!"
"For most people, all they want is to live. As long as they don't starve to death and can survive, then what they are best at is to accept the situation."
"They will not rise up and resist until they can no longer survive!"
"Other than that, it's difficult for people to have their own opinions."
"The county boss asked them to nominate a few leaders, but who should they nominate? If the county boss doesn't tell them who they can nominate, they won't choose them."
"Even those so-called highly respected people will not come forward unless the matter involves their vital interests."
"Because, standing up means responsibility and trouble."
"This time, I was captured by the county lord, and the county lord represents Marquis Wu Cheng and Uncle Yongwu. You can even say that he represents the imperial court."
"For the people, it doesn't matter who you represent. They just need to know that they can't afford to offend you."
"Under such circumstances, you ask them to come out and fight for you for me. Do you think they dare?"
Chu Xiuyan saw it clearly.
And after his narration, Fubao also understood and realized.
People!
Why is this happening
The sage Chu Xiuyan said: People can follow it but cannot understand it. At first glance, it really makes sense. But why don’t people dare to fight
Isn't it because they don't understand
Their fear stems from their ignorance of the laws of the court, their lack of understanding of officialdom, and even their lack of understanding of the power they possess.
Therefore, this time, when Chu Xiuyan was abandoned by the people, it was not the sadness of the people, nor the sadness of Chu Xiuyan, but the sadness of the entire society.
Both the common people and Chu Xiuyan were victims of this farce.
And it was they themselves who caused all this.
The common people were afraid to understand, and Chu Xiuyan was unwilling to explain.
"Been taught a lesson!"
I got the answer from Chu Xiuyan. Although the answer was one-sided, it allowed Fubao to find the direction to see the truth clearly.
"Lord Defu, regarding those two issues, can you tell me your choices?"
After answering Fubao's question, Chu Xiuyan also took the opportunity to ask his question.
"I don't choose this!"
Seeing that Chu Xiuyan was still a good official, Fubao did not continue to torture him.
"Don't choose!"
Chu Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, but he was a little confused in his heart. What kind of answer was this
But the confusion in his heart only lasted for a moment. His eyes widened and he understood what Fubao meant in an instant.
Yes, why choose
Hypothetical question, is it necessary to choose
To put it bluntly, when you really need to make a choice, people's instinct will be to make a choice immediately, and there is no need to worry about it at all.
Because, at that critical moment, it is impossible for you to think rationally and weigh the pros and cons.
"The County Lord has great views, I have learned a lesson from you!"
Chu Xiuyan saluted Fu Bao.
At this moment, he finally understood why Fu Bao turned over the table when he threatened her for the second time.
Because Fubao did not choose according to his restrictions, but directly turned the table over.
Rules and regulations always restrict those who abide by the rules, but those who do not follow the rules have no rules in their eyes. The rules you set do not limit the other person, but instead frame yourself within the rules.
This time, I didn’t complain about losing, it was really not unfair.
"The county master wants to know anything about Nightingale, just ask. I will keep my promise and tell you everything I know!"
I am willing to admit defeat!
Chu Xiuyan was very particular about this.
Of course, according to what he just realized, he could actually regret it.
But if he really regrets it, then he will no longer be Chu Xiuyan!
When a real man lives in the world, he does something and doesn't do something. (End of chapter)
