Chapter 67 Conversation
"People are in the world, and they can't help themselves!"
Li Xiu shook his head, fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, and looked at the boy in front of him, but suddenly smiled: "As long as I still wear this skin, I am destined to be unable to break away from the eunuch party. What's the point of not seeking to join?"
When the first time I heard the words from this perspective, the boy was obviously stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly realized that what Li Xiu said was correct.
The factory guards and the factory guards, now the Jinyiwei is almost a subsidiary of the Dongchang Factory. As a family of Jinyiwei, they are naturally eunuchsmen. How can they vote or not? There are orders on them and they cannot be executed. Once they are executed, they will be destined to deepen this imprint.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
He drank the wine in his glass in his hand and poured it back slowly, looking at the boy curiously and asked.
"I just feel that the eunuch party is in trouble with the court, and the black and white are all unforgivable people. Brother Li, you should not be mingled with these people..."
"Puff..."
Listening to this, Li Xiu almost spit out a sip of wine. Looking at Liu Xin's swearing look, Li Xiu suddenly felt that the little brother with extraordinary family background he knew in front of him was really simple and cute.
"Why is Brother Li laughing?"
"How can we distinguish between black and white in this world so clearly!"
Li Xiu put down his wine glass casually, stood up and said, "For example, I am from a refugee orphan who is wandering in the wilderness, and I am lucky enough to enter the Jinyiwei and make achievements with my own abilities. Ask yourself, I can guarantee that I did not do anything that would turn black and white."
"But just because I am the Jinyiwei and was promoted by Wei Zhongxian himself, in the eyes of those who are interested, no matter how much contribution I have made to the country or how many things I have done, I am a eunuch party and a person who harms the country and the people!"
"Don't you think this is ironic?"
The boy was still unwilling to give up and couldn't help but defend himself. Although he himself didn't notice it, he seemed very confident when he defended this time: "That... that's just because Brother Li, you have not completely defected to the eunuch party..."
"How can a person's good or bad be distinguished by a simple eunuch party and Donglin?"
As for this, Li Xiu was a little angry. The boy who had a happy conversation in front of him was now a representative of the pitfalls in his mind.
"If you throw you to Dongchang, if you want to survive, you can only do business for Dongchang and Dongchang. Then you will become a eunuch. Then I ask you, are you unforgivable?"
"Now Wei Zhongxian has gained the trust of the emperor and his reputation is high. From the court to the provinces, there are countless people who surrender. Is so many people all unforgivable?"
"There are black and white, and there are bad things, and there are good things. Without investigation, no distinction between black and white, you will kill everyone with one stick. Fortunately, you are still young, you can't become an official, or you can't control the power. Otherwise, you won't know how many unjust, false and wrong cases you will cause, and how many lives will be killed by you!"
After a series of scoldings, the young man's expression suddenly looked a little ugly. From his perspective, the eunuch party was extremely vicious and unforgivable, and there was no doubt about it!
Since he was a child, no one would question his thoughts!
As for why he was extremely vicious and why he was unforgivable, he was not very clear about it, but everyone around him said this, that was correct. But now Li Xiu's simple words were heard, and he suddenly realized that what he firmly believed in was that the distinction between black and white did not seem to be that simple.
He wanted to refute, but found that he felt that his knowledge was not able to organize a reasonable and well-founded refutation.
Unreasonable and arrogant, the boy naturally couldn't do such a thing, but it was unlikely that he would suddenly overturn his thoughts that he had believed in for several years.
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became stalemate. The young man widened his eyes and stared at Li Xiu, as if he was not willing to be outdone, but also as if he was stubborn as the last.
Looking at the boy's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little moved. He didn't know which powerful family he was, but he was completely raised!
When the water is clear, there is no fish. It is difficult to completely distinguish between black and white in the world. After all, if a person does not punish himself, heaven and earth, even if he wants to be honest, most of the things he does are for himself.
But no matter what, while doing for himself, what he does is worthy of this position, the power, or the rights obtained are equal to the obligations he pays.
In this era, it is basically impossible to blindly demand perfection.
Haven't you seen how disgusted the corrupt officials back then? From the great edict that created the world, to the countless corrupt officials who were confiscated and exterminated in the Hongwu period, to the lack of officials, and had to work in a shackle. But even under such cruel pressure, it could not stop the deepest weakness of human nature.
Pure black and white are too difficult to distinguish in this era.
A corrupt official does not mean that he is unforgivable.
A clean official does not mean that it is beneficial to the country and the people.
Because of a trivial disadvantage, one will die, which is something that only a fool will do.
However, because some individuals' evil deeds are not investigated or divided into black and white, they have great prejudice against the entire group, or even misunderstandings. Is this... mentally retarded?
Li Xiu suddenly felt that no matter how extraordinary Liu Xin’s family background was, he looked like a pitfall. When he took over in the future, no matter how big the family business was, he would definitely not withstand the destruction of his mentally retarded brain...
As the thoughts circulated, the anger in my heart couldn't help but dissipate a lot. When I looked at Liu Xin, there was a sense of pity in the mentally retarded eyes.
"He thinks I'm mentally retarded? He feels sorry for me, a mentally retarded?"
At this moment, feeling the change of Li Xiu's eyes, the boy who was originally quite stubborn was like a dog.
With his mind, how could he not see the changeable meaning of Li Xiu's eyes!
I guess I feel like a brainless person, but in the end I feel sorry for myself?
He opened his mouth, but for a while, he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't even speak a word.
"What anyone with a discerning eye can see, why are you so simple?"
As if the pitifulness was at work, Li Xiu looked at the boy and shook his head, feeling helpless.
"I ask you, where is the origin of the eunuch party?"
"The source of the eunuch party... are you talking about Wei Zhongxian, that dog thief?"
The boy replied something wrong.
Li Xiu asked again: "Where does Wei Zhongxian's power come from?"
"He blinded the Holy Listening and played with villain's methods..."
The boy suddenly became excited, word by word. If Li Xiu had not had a clear understanding of the current situation, he would have believed what the boy said.
