Cheng Peng took advantage of the wind and flew in the sky. He passed through the clouds and the strong wind at the zenith, flying straight into the endless void, leaving the sun, moon and stars behind.
I don’t know how long it took to fly, but the originally dark void gradually became brighter, and turned into a dark yellow without even realizing it.
A voice sounded out among the darkness.
"The mission hasn't been completed yet, why are you here?"
"I have encountered a problem and want to ask you for advice." Cheng Peng's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed very calm. He did not look as depressed and decadent as before. "I served as an official next to the emperor in the world and persuaded him to persist in himself.
Don’t be influenced by others, don’t be disturbed by history and tradition, don’t be constrained by social morality... As a result, he carried out massacres in the war because he insisted on his beliefs, and he still felt that he had done nothing wrong.”
"He is obviously wrong!" In the ethereal black and yellow aura, God Haotian's answer came, "I have sent down the apocalypse, you should have seen it, right?"
"Yes, I saw it. But I want to ask - do you think I did something wrong?" Cheng Peng asked.
"You asked me, 'Am I wrong?' I want to ask you, do you think what you did was right or wrong?" The old and energetic voice asked with a little joking, "My opinion is actually not the same.
The important thing is, what do you think of what you said?"
Cheng Peng stood in this dark yellow and sighed deeply.
Just when God Haotian thought he was going to lower his head to admit his mistake and apologize, he raised his head, with the light still shining in his eyes.
"I don't think I made a mistake!"
"Oh?" God Haotian asked a little doubtfully, "Why?"
"When I said those words to him, my goal was to encourage him to manage the government more efficiently. It turns out that he did a good job, so what I said was not wrong." After Shen Qi's persuasion or enlightenment.
, Cheng Peng has come out of his distress and depression, "Times have changed, and reforms are appropriate. The same sentence may be right in one situation, but it may be wrong in another situation.
When doctors treat people, they will never prescribe the same medicine regardless of the disease. When a king handles state affairs, he should not cling to a certain creed but should be more flexible."
"So it's his fault, not yours?"
"No, it's my fault!" Cheng Peng's words surprised Haotian God again, "Since he is willing to accept my advice, then I should often give him advice and tell him how to govern the country -
Although I am not a good strategist, I am a good scholar. How to govern a country well? I can write a long speech of tens of thousands of words on this topic."
"But you didn't."
"Yes, I have been focusing on my own affairs and ignored Jin Yan, so that he mistakenly used my words in inappropriate places." Cheng Peng nodded, full of self-blame, "If I could give him more
If he talks about how to govern a country as a king, maybe he won't make such a mistake."
"Maybe."
"Yes, maybe. Maybe it won't work even if he does that. Maybe he will have a rebellious mentality and make more serious mistakes..." Cheng Peng smiled, his smile was very clear, without any confusion, "But it doesn't work.
Reasons to 'not do it'!"
"But you did something wrong, and it brought serious consequences."
"I am very sad and regretful about the consequences, but if I could do it again, I would still do it, but I would have to try to consider more appropriate means." Cheng Peng replied, "Only those who have done it and failed.
Those who are qualified to say 'I'm sorry', but those who didn't do it only deserve to regret it. Regret is inevitable, but regret is avoidable! I'm not afraid of regret, but I don't want to regret it!"
"So now you are just sorry?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm willing to accept the consequences of this mistake." Cheng Peng lowered his head, "That's why I'm here to apologize."
God Haotian did not mean to punish him, but asked instead: "It seems that you have already determined yourself. Have you taken all the mistakes on yourself?"
"Of course not, it was he who made the big mistake, not me. But this does not mean that I did not make mistakes - my mistakes and his mistakes are two different things, but my mistakes may have led to his mistakes - at least other
One of the reasons is that I have to take responsibility for this."
"Are you sure you are responsible?"
"Of course I have a responsibility! If he has never been willing to accept my advice, then my advice will have no impact on him and I don't have to do anything; but since he is willing to accept my advice, then I have the responsibility to give him
Make the right suggestions! Since you can do it, you must be responsible!”
"Don't you think you've placed too heavy a burden on yourself?"
"It's indeed heavy, but since I got the task reward because my suggestion was adopted, I have to shoulder the subsequent responsibilities. This is fair - you can get the reward by saying a few words. This kind of thing is really
Unfair!"
"I don't see that you are quite stubborn about 'fairness'..."
"I believe that 'fairness' is one of the cornerstones of society. Although perfect fairness cannot exist, the desire to pursue fairness is one of the driving forces for the order and development of the entire society."
"Haha, this is not what I'm interested in... So what are you going to do?"
"I will continue to fight as a general of the Shang Dynasty." Cheng Peng replied, "The Shang Dynasty has not sorry for me, and of course I should not be sorry for it."
"What if that kid becomes a tyrant? What if he becomes a demon who needs to be defeated?"
"Then I will knock him down!" Cheng Peng replied without hesitation, "I am responsible for his mistakes. This does not mean that I should condone his mistakes. But I believe that he will not continue to make mistakes. I believe that I can help
He's back on the right path!"
"That's a very confident answer! Then let's deal with it like this... What about the God's Table? That guy is still waiting for you to go back and give him an answer."
"I plan to answer honestly - because what he did offended God, he was disqualified from becoming a god."
"Do you think he would accept that explanation?"
"Probably not, but this is the fact. I can't change the facts, let alone erase them. I can only tell the truth."
"People are rarely willing to accept facts that are not good for them, especially when this fact will destroy their hopes. Do you understand this truth?"
"Of course, but I still have to state the facts."
"It's a very stubborn approach... Have you ever suffered because of your personality?"
"I ate it, but I overcame it."
"How did you overcome it?"
"Consider more about other people's ideas and positions, and think more properly about how to word your words... But in fact, after all, I am still not good at the art of conversation, and all I can do in the end is get along with those people who I can get along well with."
God Haotian laughed, his laughter shook Xuanhuang, and everything trembled in his laughter.
"A gentleman chooses good friends and makes friends. Getting along with people he can get along well with is also a way to solve problems..." He laughed for a while before continuing, "You did a good job, I am very satisfied! So!
I’m going to give you the reward.”
Cheng Peng was a little confused: "But I have completed the Kunpeng bloodline..."
"You completed Kunpeng's bloodline by your own strength, but this does not mean that my previous rewards are invalid - my power is stronger than you imagine, and I can do more than you expected.
." As he said that, a yellow beam of light fell on Cheng Peng and disappeared after a while.
"I still give you the God-conferring Table. I have no dissatisfaction with you as the messenger, so feel free to do it." God Haotian said with a smile in his voice, "As for that person's question, you actually understood it wrong.
- I don't mind if he has made mistakes, I only care about his ability and attitude. The reason why he is not allowed to sign now is because he has an important mission to do. Before his mission reaches the end,
It cannot be signed."
As he spoke, the scenery around Cheng Peng began to shake, and the next moment, he returned to the human world, back to his tent in the merchant camp.
"Keep up the good work! The reward has been given to you, don't let me down!"
