Chapter 2260: Can hundreds of years of politics still continue?
. , fastest update!
The sky is filled with stars.
The night sky in the Han Dynasty was extremely gorgeous.
Many children of later generations think that the stars are just gray-white and yellow, bigger and smaller, and nothing interesting to see, but you must know that they are all caused by pollution...
If you live in a place with relatively low pollution, the night sky is like deep velvet, with all kinds of colorful stars, large and small, stars, rivers, nebulae, and star belts, which make people have infinite longing and make them feel infinitely small.
Feizhen was lying in the backyard, looking at the night sky and the stars all over the sky.
Sitting next to Fei Zhen was Huang Yueying, holding a cattail leaf fan in her hand and fanning it constantly.
Some people think that the Little Ice Age was cold, just cold, but in fact it was not. In addition to cold and long winters, the Little Ice Age also had a disordered climate. The hot ones were hotter, the cold ones were colder, and there were severe droughts and great droughts.
Floods appear one after another...
This summer has been very hot. In early summer, we already had the taste of midsummer. Fortunately, we are in the Yinshan Mountains. Although it is hot at noon, it is still relatively cool in the morning and evening.
"Mother..." Feizhen suddenly called out softly.
Huang Yueying was a little tired. She did hear it, but she was too lazy to respond, so she just hummed.
"Mother?" Fei Zhen thought Huang Yueying didn't hear it, so she called out again, louder than before, "Mother!"
"Ah! You stupid kid!" Huang Yueying hit her with a cattail fan, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Fei Zhen rolled over and sat up, just in time to avoid the attack range of Huang Yueying's fan, and then came closer to Huang Yueying's side, raising her head, "Mother... that, um, father is scaring me..."
…』
"Oh?" Huang Yueying glanced at it, "What are you trying to scare you for?"
"Well...father said he wanted to kill me..." Feizhen muttered.
"Huh, ah?" Huang Yueying was stunned, and her cattail leaf fan fell down, "What did you say? Your father? Kill you? How dare he?!"
"No, no! It's not that Father wants to kill me..." Fei Zhen waved her hands, "Father didn't say it clearly, but he probably meant that someone would kill me... or harm me..."
"Who?!" Huang Yueying's eyebrows almost stood up, "That person dares to touch my son?!"
"It's not someone..." Feizhen said, "It's not anyone in particular, but it could be someone..."
"..." Huang Yueying was silent for a moment, then grabbed the cattail leaf fan again and fanned herself twice, "You stupid kid! Let's start from the beginning!"
"Oh... here's the thing... weren't the Southern Huns coming two days ago, and then my father asked me to think about what I want to say to the eldest prince of the Southern Huns..." Feizhen slowly recounted what happened before
He gave a general description of what happened, and then said, "Then the Southern Xiongnu people left... My father said something, what does it mean? It should be... just like I calculated the first and third princes of the Southern Xiongnu,
There will also be many people who will plot against me...or even...want to kill me...』
Huang Yueying stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan and remained silent.
Fei Zhen looked at Huang Yueying, hoping to get an answer from Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying reached out and touched Fei Zhen's head, "What do you think? Do you think... what your father said is true or false?"
"I hope it's false..." Feizhen sighed, with a very sad expression, "But I'm already counting the eldest and third princes of the Southern Huns, so how is it possible that no one is counting me?"
Huang Yueying also sighed and shook the cattail leaf fan, "At least your father and mother will not hurt you..."
Feizhen nodded, "It's just that I don't quite understand why... because of our power, we must be calculated by others? Then does it mean that if we don't have power, we won't be calculated?"
"Well...this question..." Huang Yueying raised her head and looked at the night sky, "That's a good question."
Fei Zhen waited for a long time, but Huang Yueying didn't say anything, so she couldn't help but start shouting again, "Mother? Ah? Mother!"
"What's your name?! You idiot!" Huang Yueying gave Fei Zhen a cattail leaf fan without ceremony, "I was thinking about whether I should tell you..."
"Tell me about it, tell me about it..." Feizhen walked over with a smile and leaned against Huang Yueying's body.
Huang Yueying held back her mouth, and then gestured with her fingers, "Your mother, she is older... um, um, a little bit ugly..."
"Mother is not ugly!" Feizhen said seriously, "Mother is very beautiful!"
Huang Yueying immediately hugged Fei Zhen with a smile on her face, kissed Fei Zhen on the forehead, "My son is still discerning! Just like your father!"
The couple laughed and laughed for a while, then started talking again.
"Normally speaking, whether I am ugly or not, actually has nothing to do with other people..." Huang Yueying said slowly, "Just like the sky is cloudy and sunny, and there are four seasons, this world
Since there are beautiful people, of course there are also people who are um... average looking..."
"This is normal, right?" Huang Yueying asked.
Feizhen nodded.
"But there are some people who think this is not okay," Huang Yueying said slowly, "then these people will laugh at me, ridicule, and use all kinds of plain or extended words to belittle me..."
"Speaking in front of mother?" Feizhen's eyes widened.
Huang Yueying sneered, "If they have such courage, of course they won't say anything to their faces, they will only say it behind their backs... I'll learn from you..."
Huang Yueying covered half of her face with a cattail fan, and started to imitate the tone, "Ah, I thought I was the only one who thought she was ugly, but when I saw everyone saying so, I felt relieved..."
"Look at her being a girl, running around everywhere, and even talking in a weird way. What kind of tutor is she..."
"There's really nothing you can do about being ugly, you're born with it, but if you're ugly and stupid, it's just not right..."
"Well, there are many things like that..." Huang Yueying put down the cattail leaf fan and shook it a few times, "Anyway, there are many, everything you can think of, and everything you can't think of..."
Feizhen clenched her little fists tightly, "You insult my mother, it really makes me angry!"
"Oh, it's all over... I was still young at that time..." Huang Yueying chuckled and gently stroked Feizhen's head, "They are all a group of young and ignorant people, why bother with them? What is really scary is that
The kind of person who doesn’t say anything with his mouth and then hides everything in his heart...』
"For example, my father...ah...it hurts!" Feizhen said quickly, grunted, and then was beaten.
"So do you understand? My mother was still about the same age as you at that time. What kind of power did she have? Wasn't she still remembered by others and mentioned from time to time?" Huang Yueying said, "This has nothing to do with power...
Well, of course it has something to do with it... But generally speaking, there are people like this no matter where you are, no matter whether you are the son of a hussar or not, no matter whether you have money or not, no matter where you are born, in this world
, there are always people like this... who won't say anything in front of their faces, but will secretly talk behind their back..."
"You can't avoid this kind of thing. As long as there are people, as long as there are benefits..." Huang Yueying touched Fei Zhen's head, "There are such people... Do you understand?"
"I understand a little bit, but not very clearly..." Feizhen nodded, then shook her head, "I count the third prince of the Southern Huns because the third prince refuses to accept enlightenment... If others count me, it's because I
He is the son of a hussar, but...but what are those people planning to laugh at my mother behind her back?"
"For what? To be happy!" Huang Yueying laughed, "They laughed and ridiculed me, and they felt happy!"
"Just for fun?!" Fei Zhen found it incredible?
"Well! What else?" Huang Yueying said, "I didn't know your father at that time. Our Huang family didn't compete with others for any official positions in Jingxiang. The only power we had was that we were related to the Pang family and the Cai family... Only
That's all. Besides, I wasn't even old enough to get married at that time, so I couldn't compete with them for a husband... Do you think there is any special benefit from them plotting to laugh at me behind my back? No, I just feel happy..."
"So, child, don't think that without power, there will be no benefits, and others will not plot against you... Sometimes these people do things and talk just to be happy..." Huang Yueying said seriously, "And the more...
Without power, there will be more things like this so-called poverty and happiness! Look at me now, that person dares to let me know and say bad things about me behind my back? Huh?」
Huang Yueying is not angry but powerful.
"I understand..." Feizhen sighed, "Without power, there are many things that make you happy and poor. With power, there are many things that involve interests. Anyway, there are many things and you can't avoid them..."
"Yes, that's it!" Huang Yueying nodded and said, "When a man lives in this world, how can he just retreat and avoid problems when he encounters them?"
"Yeah! Got it!" Feizhen also responded, and then puffed up her little chest.
"Let me tell you one more thing," Huang Yueying chuckled twice, "about your father..."
Feizhen immediately became interested and came over.
"Your father... when he was in Chang'an, he was also assassinated by others..." Huang Yueying said, "There was a particularly dangerous time. He was shot in the shoulder. If the arrow had been more accurate..."
"If the arrow had been more accurate, it wouldn't have hit me at that time..." Fei Qian wandered out from the corridor, "At that time I was about to dismount and dodge... Well, forget it, it's all over... Why did you say it so suddenly?
Starting from this matter..."
"I have met my husband..."
"I have met my father..."
Huang Yueying and Fei Zhen stood up and saluted.
"Well, it's getting so late, why are you still not sleeping? What are you talking about?" Fei Qian sat down and motioned for the two of them to sit down too.
Huang Yueying explained the issues Fei Zhen was considering.
Fei Qian couldn't help but look at Fei Zhen.
Fei Qian shrank his neck a little embarrassed or worried.
"Come..." Fei Qian waved to Fei Zhen, "Sit here..."
Fei Zhen moved over and looked at Fei Qian.
It is very difficult to change a person's thinking mode and establish a reasonable three views. For children, it is mainly because they cannot remember abstract concepts because it is difficult to have clear examples, so they raise the three views.
It is often difficult to form a more solid impression when it comes to different levels. For adults, the original three views are similar and it is easier to accept. However, if it refutes the original concept, it will be difficult.
This is the case with Feizhen.
It is unrealistic to expect a child under the age of ten to know much about politics and consider matters like Fei Qian. But it cannot be said that Fei Zhen should not be exposed to these things at all...
"Assassination..." Fei Qian smiled, "This thing is difficult to avoid... There are always some people who want to be lazy, thinking that as long as they kill people, everything will be fine... As for why I am not very scared? These guards
It’s just something on the surface, but the deeper thing is... I can bring hope to these people..."
"Hope..." Fei Qian touched Fei Zhen's little head, "If there is no hope, no matter how many guards or generals there are, it will be useless. These people who have no hope will turn into beasts."
…Then what is hope?』
"Hope...is the future?" Fei Zhen said.
"Well, it will be better in the future!" Fei Qian said seriously, "It's not the kind of thing where you have to endure it in the past, endure it now, and endure it again in the future, and you will get better in the end. That kind of thing is fake. If
Most people have died on the road, who will follow them? What is it really? Only the kind that becomes better now, will be better in the future, and gets better and better can be called real hope.
...When everyone realizes that this hope comes from you, then they will obey you, protect you, and respect you..."
"Just like when I was in Hedong, here, Pei and Yufuluo, didn't they think of killing me in their hearts?" Fei Qian smiled, "But they didn't dare, because once I died, they would Immediately have to bear the anger of others, the despair of losing hope... Well, of course, you have to make sure that these people are smarter people before you can do this. The thoughts of a fool cannot be measured... Remember, don’t play tricks with fools. How can a fool play with his wits?」
"So in Hedong, I showed you how a family leader treated this hope... What did he choose? Acquiesce, indulge, pretend not to see..." Fei Qian said slowly, "That was Pei Juguang's choice. way, right? Is there no other way to make money in Hedong? No, even if you build a water-powered mill along the Fen River, you can earn some processing fees... Well, make money, but it is hard money, he thinks it will Tired... He feels tired, and his people feel even more tired... So is it pitiful for him to deal with his brother? On the contrary, it was his previous choice that killed his brother..."
"Here now, Yuvluo is a bigger leader. His tribe has more people than the Pei family, right? How did he choose to treat his tribe and his children?" Fei Qian looked at it Feizhen, "He couldn't give up his current life, and he didn't want to lose his future throne, but he couldn't think of any way to change it, so he married many wives and gave birth to many children, and then he hoped that one of these children would , or there are a few who can help him solve future problems... You said that he can't solve the problems himself, can his children solve them? 』
"What's one? It's indulgence. What's the other? It's shirk. Right?" Fei Qian pointed to himself, "Then you also saw, what have I been doing these past few days? Even when I'm eating and drinking, I'm also scheming. Aren’t I tired of measuring and arranging? Don’t I understand what indulgence is and what shirk is? Don’t I want to be comfortable in everything and enjoy everything?”
In addition to the affairs of the Southern Huns, Fei Qian also needs to pay attention to military arrangements in the past two days. At the same time, he also needs to check the climate changes in the north of Yinshan Mountain in the past few years, assess the impact of the Little Glacier, and meet with some people to inquire. To know whether the actual situation is consistent with the record, I basically have to be busy from morning until dark.
Of course, Fei Qian can also do nothing, just play, and then leave everything to his subordinates, and then find some beautiful women to touch Naiko and push her ass every day...
Then, like classmate Lao Cao, no matter whose child it is, accept it!
The adopted son collects a lot from his son, just like that Prince Jing of Zhongshan. The heirs are calculated according to the pile. As for the heir, it is like raising a poison. In the end, the most ferocious and powerful one devours the flesh and blood of his brothers and sisters. Be the leader...
Is it really the most suitable leader who is raised by raising Gu in this way?
Regardless of how many people would die if they took sides among the heirs, could it be that these officials who survived the struggle between heirs made the right choice from the beginning and stayed with them until death?
Certainly not.
The more upright one is, the earlier and earlier he dies. The rest are naturally treacherous and cunning, and will not express their opinions easily. Their Cha Feng and Color Observation skills are all full, and sometimes they can even kill Taoist friends without dying in poverty.
Tao...
So in what direction will such a leader and officialdom that has been cultivated lead the whole of China?
It is inevitable that there will be more and more internal fights among insiders and external fights among outsiders.
If you want to kill your own people, you have a hundred and a thousand ways to do it, but when you face a foreign enemy, you just hold your heart with both hands, ah, the foreigner is so handsome...
Whichever you choose, it's all up to you.
The consequences you get naturally follow your choices.
"Father..." Fei Zhen grabbed Fei Qian's sleeves and didn't know what to say, "My child... my child..."
"Haha, I'm not complaining when I say this, I'm just telling you that as a leader, this is a choice that must be made..." Fei Qian smiled, "And for this choice, the sooner the better... So now, you
Can you answer the two questions I asked you when we first set out?"
"I think... it should be okay..." Feizhen raised her head and looked at her father, "It's hope... it's hope, father..."
Fei Qian nodded slightly and touched Fei Zhen's head.
Fei Zhen came over, put her forehead on Fei Qian's hand, and hugged Fei Qian.
Huang Yueying sighed softly, then came over and stretched out her hands to hug Fei Qian and Fei Zhen together.
Fei Qian also stretched out his hands, hugging Fei Zhen on the left and Huang Yueying on the right. The three of them were like three small stones under the tide of night, supporting each other and resisting the erosion of the tide of time.
The wind blew gently over the eaves, like a chuckle or a whimper, perhaps it was also the long sigh of those Gu insects for hundreds of years...
