One hundred and thirtieth chapters on the forest line (11)
Both Zhang Xing and Qin Bao were close to the Great Consummation of the True Meridian. Killing a general bannerman or a yamen team leader would no longer need to hide and kill people. However, they were still cautious, changed their clothes, touched the place, and explored the situation.
He waited until midnight before he broke into the bedroom with his face covered, pretended to be a robber, tied up and gagged the woman, and then took away the gold and silver.
Finally, he took the man out, killed him with a knife, and threw him into the courtyard. He did not forget to write the usual inscription... But Zhang Xing changed his name again, called Black and White Shuangsha, and specially inscribed it under the eaves... I don’t know who the two were.
Black or white?
After killing two people and collecting gold and silver, they then moved through the night and took advantage of the rain to deliver the gold and silver to Tongtuofang. The family who was forced to death put more gold and silver, and the rest were scattered a lot, even some of them.
The gold and silver were broken into pieces and thrown onto the street.
After finishing all this work, it was almost the fourth day of the night. The two of them returned home. The rain stopped and the stars shone brightly for a while. I don’t know what happened to Qin Bao. Zhang Xing killed the general banner among them, and there was a vague infuriation.
Instead, he no longer felt tired, so he accompanied Qin Erlang to add fodder to the two horses and one mule in the backyard, then went to the kitchen to get two bottles of wine, and then sat together on the south wall of Chengfu Fang.
At this time, it was still dark, but Luoshui to the south of Chengfufang was open all night long, and even the Chengfumen Square to the west of Chengfufang was still crowded with people.
That's right, no matter it's raining or thundering, mid-winter or early summer, there are always ten thousand official servants and official slaves working day and night on the Tower of Babel.
Naturally, the small square on the pier outside Chengfu Gate was open day and night...it lasted for more than half a year, and everyone was used to it.
"Are you feeling a little relieved?" Zhang Xing sat on the high wall and looked at Qin Bao who started to drink heavily, half-smiling but not smiling.
"I'm feeling refreshed, but I'm a little uneasy... It's not uneasy, I'm just a little confused..." Qin Bao drank a lot of wine and answered sincerely, his face seemed to have lost the embarrassment and illness before. "I don't know what happened.
My third brother and I have killed people before, but we would never have such strange thoughts."
"About the environment." Zhang Xing took a sip and spoke sincerely while looking at the foggy Luoshui in the morning. "You were born in that place in the East, where the people were fierce. Wanting to get ahead and become an official was just a thought, and it was utilitarian.
, so in my heart I still cut it off when there is any injustice, and I didn’t have any entanglements. On the contrary, when I came to Dongdu and became an official, it was actually smooth sailing, so I gradually integrated into the officialdom, started to follow the rules in everything, and in turn I like to think more.
Today's matter, that is, let's talk about the matter, those two people should be killed, so I am still happy for the Lord. If it were other illegal things, you might not be willing to follow me out."
"But third brother, is it good or bad to follow the rules?" Qin Bao paused for a moment and asked seriously.
"It depends on whether you recognize this rule..." Zhang Xing still answered calmly. "If you think this rule is generally good and right, then continue to follow this rule. There is no need to resist, but if you
I have experienced some things and I feel that this rule is fake, wrong, and unacceptable. So why should I abide by it? Just like today's incident, "
"But..." Qin Bao obviously hesitated. "Why are the rules fake and not acceptable? Since the rules are rules, don't everyone recognize them? Even if I think it's not good, can it be said to be fake?
?”
"Of course you can't say it's fake or bad just because someone thinks it's bad." Zhang Xing finally laughed. "But there are indeed rules that are fake, bad, and bad...and if you want to answer this question, you have to first Let me ask you, what are the rules for?"
Qin Bao was at a loss for a moment, not that he didn't understand it at all, but that he vaguely understood it in his heart, but didn't know how to express it.
"It is to take care of the interests of the greatest number of people." Zhang Xing immediately answered after seeing this. "Let everyone gain the greatest benefits overall, so that everyone can gain the greatest benefits on average... Therefore, the wise kings in ancient times rebelled and fought. In the world, when we come to a place, there are three rules: those who kill must die, and those who hurt others and those who steal must be punished. This is the simplest and most suitable rule that can save everyone from casualties and financial losses, and it is also a universal rule that can immediately win people's hearts."
"Yes." Qin Bao nodded sincerely. "That's how it should be."
"Don't kill people, don't steal, don't bully the weak, and then it develops into helping the weak, helping those in need, and then it develops to the point where if you hurt a pregnant woman, you'll be punished by one level, and if a son hurts his father, he'll be punished by one level. These are the most basic rules and regulations. The evolution. However, as the number of rules gradually increases, there will be situations where the rules are in conflict, and there will be situations where the rules are ineffective..." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "The most important thing is that it is people who manipulate the rules, and the human heart is the It can be good or bad... Once the human heart becomes bad, you will not use this rule when you should use it, but you will use that rule instead. There is nothing you can do."
Qin Baoruo suddenly understood.
"Besides that." Zhang Xing smiled half-heartedly. "When evil-minded people become stronger, their status rises, and they can set rules, what if they deliberately set up bad rules to bully others for their own benefit? This is fake. There are rules. Although it is an obvious rule, it is obviously a fake rule."
Qin Bao looked at the vaguely visible officials and servants in front of him and hesitated to speak.
"You really don't have to worry about it. I only want to say one thing. Do these two people today deserve to be killed according to the most fundamental rules?" Zhang Xing also took a sip of wine.
"It deserves to be killed after all!" Qin Bao said firmly.
"That's right, but why do we break the rules and kill people?"
"because……"
"Because the original rules have been suppressed by the new rules and have no effect, and the new rules are bad, wrong, and fake." Zhang Xingshu smiled. "According to the original basic rules, these two people should have long ago After being arrested and punished, it was just like you said before that someone should take care of the extortion... But in fact, there was no one... So the two of us broke the rules on the surface and acted as private law enforcers according to the basic rules. Canonical punishment.”
Qin Bao let out a breath and said: "Yes...according to the rules, they should have been sent to prison, killed and punished, but no one cared about them; and we seemed to have broken the rules, but we were actually enforcing the right The rules!”
"You see, it's that simple." As he said that, Zhang Xing raised the wine bottle and bumped it with the other party in mid-air, and then the two of them drank a big gulp.
"Third brother."
"Um?"
"How do you distinguish between real rules and fake rules?" Qin Bao asked seriously.
"Are you confused?" Zhang Xing was extremely speechless. "Didn't I just say that? Just return to the original intention of setting rules... As the saying goes, everything must have a beginning, never forget the original intention, that's about it... It's just that this original intention is not only here. It is the original intention of doing things in my own family, and it is also the original intention of establishing rules in the whole world."
"I know this truth, but I'm stupid and can't always explain things and principles as smoothly as Third Brother." Qin Bao responded sincerely. "Please Third Brother teach me."
"Then let me try?"
"Um."
"That's it... first let's see if this rule can protect the overall benefit of everyone in the world..."
"nature."
"Then let's see if it can help improve the overall benefits for people in the world, such as allowing more food to be harvested in the world, allowing more people to have enough to eat, and allowing more people to study, practice, and be free.
Appreciating calligraphy and painting can control the flow of energy... I actually don't understand this well, but you should understand."
"Understand, understand."
"Finally, among the people in the world, sometimes the interests are in conflict. You have more and I have less. At this time, we need to go one step further to ensure that this rule protects the interests of the largest group among the people in the world.
effect."
Zhang Xing paused for a moment to think about what he wanted to say and spoke casually. This was also the basic general education he had received since childhood, the kind that was ingrained in his bones.
But perhaps because of the existence of such a model as the Supreme, and his background experience, Qin Bao, a talented person, was unexpectedly very accepting.
"Is there more?" Qin Bao thought about it again and again, and couldn't wait to ask again.
"Yes, but I will know in a moment..." Zhang Xing spread his hands and continued to drink in a leisurely manner. "Actually, you will know if you think about several supremes. Is it because they do things according to this that they became
Supreme."
"It's true." Qin Bao sat on the wall of the square and thought seriously. "So, in addition to rules, can we use this to measure the quality of things?"
"Really?" Zhang Xing answered casually.
"How to measure this specifically? For example, the Great Golden Pillar of Xiu Tianshu is said to redefine the center of heaven and earth, and the conquest of Dongyi is also for the unification of the world... It seems to meet some of the three items, especially the unification of the world, and there will be no need for it in the future.
The pain of conquest is the best anywhere to count, but why...why do we in the east always find this so miserable?" Qin Bao asked sincerely.
"This is the crux of the problem, as I said before." Zhang Xing was surprised by the other party's quick response, but he had no choice. "A thing and a rule seem to be good, but the person who implements them must be well-intentioned and discerning.
And those who are capable... If this happens too often, it will be easy for good things to turn into bad things, and rules to change from true to false... Why did you change back again?"
"Yes, yes...you drank too much, third brother, don't be offended." Qin Bao nodded repeatedly, and then finally couldn't hold it back. "Then third brother...is Mr. Zhang Han a bad person?"
"He's just a bad person." Zhang Xing responded calmly. "Did you realize it today? He does these things just to get promoted and make a fortune for his family, without any other considerations... Otherwise, why would other husbands object to being in such a hurry?
Come and build the big golden pillar."
Qin Bao nodded and asked again: "What about the saint?"
"He is also a bad saint. He has consumed the world for his own selfishness." Zhang Xing remained calm. "I thought you already knew this."
Qin Bao was silent for a while, and then slowly said again: "But the saint and the Wei..."
"I know what you mean. There is no way for a saint to inherit the Wei Dynasty according to the most appropriate rules at present. But if he is a bad saint, can the Wei Dynasty become better?" Zhang Xing blurted out. "Of course.
Yes... At this time, Nanya is about to fight, it is about three provinces and six departments, and it is about the great masters from all over the country to correct the mistakes... But Nanya just lost, it was a mess, and the great master only had one Zhongcheng to come forward.
It’s just a loss.”
"No wonder Chang Jian was so disappointed after Nanya lost that day." Qin Bao sighed. "They should have won."
"They should have won..." Zhang Xing suddenly stood up on the wall of the square and sighed as he looked at the majestic Ziwei Palace to the west. "Erlang, you think that saints should be talented people with great strategies, and those in Nanya should be elites.
Are you gathering together to ask for orders for the people? As everyone knows, carnivores are despicable. There may not be one or two people here who are more conscientious than you; there may not be one or two people who are clearer and more sensible than you, and who know the rules of weighing."
"Isn't that true?" Qin Bao, who was sitting below, finally felt that his third brother's words were a bit ridiculous. "That's in Nanya... Even Prime Minister Zhang Han has served as a local minister for decades, and he is too smart to say that.
At this point...how can I compare?"
"That's smartness, not Qingming." Zhang Xing stood on the wall and looked down from a high position. "They may all be smarter than us, but they are from the second- and third-rate families in Jiangdong with the lowest background. Do they know the hardship of farming? There is something in their eyes.
There were farmers in Jiangdong, the east border? When weighing the rules, did you ever think about these people at all? But you have experienced it and thought about it, so some rules are appropriate and tolerable in their eyes, but they are appropriate and tolerable in their eyes.
It just seems wrong and intolerable."
Qin Bao raised his head and stared at the other party without saying a word.
"Moreover, their method of weighing is also different from what we just said." Zhang Xing continued. "For example, Zhongcheng, he only cares about the continuation of the Wei Dynasty, so he cares about the local power, the family, and Dongyi
, cares about the reconstruction of the army, cares about the talents in Jingantai... These people are very important in his heart. He can even care about the farmers who provide food and cloth, because the farmers may rebel... but he will never care.
This time, merchants, merchants are nothing to him. All the merchants in Dongdu have hanged themselves. Will it affect the long-term stability of the Wei Dynasty? Do merchants still dare to rebel? But we two actually care."
"But if everyone has different opinions, how can we determine whose opinion and weighing method are correct?" Qin Bao asked with difficulty.
"Then let's try it." Zhang Xing threw down the empty wine bottle and looked at the other party blankly. "Practice is the only benchmark for testing methods... But sometimes, trying a method may lead to death or injury... At this time, people
Often people are forced to try it.”
With that said, Zhang Xing ignored Qin Erlang who was stunned on the wall of the square, jumped down from the wall and headed towards his home.
But just after walking a few dozen steps, I realized that the other party was not following me, so I turned around to look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I heard a long roar from the top of the wall, and the true energy surged for a while, like ripples on the Luo River.
Rolling around the surroundings, probably because of the special properties of the true energy, some metal objects actually had a faint sparkle.
Even Zhang Xing's hair was a little tangled, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what happened for a long time.
After the roar, the surrounding residents within the square wall had already been alarmed. There were shouts of curses, inquiries, and children crying one after another.
Qin Bao, who had gotten into trouble, jumped down and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xing and ran away. The latter hurriedly followed. The two of them gathered their strength and ran to the door of the house in one breath. They turned over and came in, taking a breath.
"Third Brother, I'm really sorry just now." When he got here, Qin Bao was embarrassed. "What I heard from Third Brother is absolutely right. I just feel that since I want to try it, I should let someone like Third Brother lead me."
Follow me, Chang Jian, Li Silang and others to try to enter Nanya, so that the world can be safe... With a thought, the true energy surged, and with a long roar, it directly broke the last main channel, but the result was noisy
Neighbors."
Zhang Xing was dumbfounded and had mixed feelings. In the end, he was ranked second to last in Fulongwei.
