Yan Bei didn't dare to let himself be weakened, because he knew this truth. He was truly weakened and despised, and when he was weak and despicable, it was as if he had been born with the power to surrender his life to others to ravage and kill, and no one wanted to do so.

Xunzi said that human nature is the 'original simplicity' of meaningless good and evil, which may be both good and evil; Yan Bei couldn't let himself admit this sentence from a completely neutral point of view, he preferred to preconceive of manpower - the reason why people didn't make mistakes was not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

If you think too well of others, it is often yourself who will be hurt in the end, but if you think of others badly and take sufficient precautions, it is only natural for bad things to happen. If nothing bad happens, it's even more unexpected.

Yanbei always walks on the road like a man with a knife in his arms, carefully guarding every pedestrian on the road. Because he was born to be more difficult than others, and the farther he goes, the more difficult it becomes.

There is no doubt about human nature and livestock, only because there are many strong people, so they can serve livestock. If man is weak, he can only be enslaved by livestock. The same is true of this relationship between people and between countries. The Yan clan's conquest of the innocent Xiongnu and the destruction of the enshrined Goguryeo Buyeo made Yanbei widely criticized in the country, and those high-ranking officials and nobles in Yedu believed that his unprovoked tyranny caused such a tragedy, and tens or even hundreds of thousands of people died or were displaced in battle.

When the Han people in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Lizhou were grateful to the Yan family, those dignitaries and nobles who enjoyed the wine and lay on the hotbed in Yedu were extremely sarcastic, making the ordinary people who did not know the matter think that it was wrong and unreasonable for the Yan family to do this. But what they don't know is wrong, and it is not about fighting the Southern Xiongnu and destroying the Dongyi Xiongguo...... They think that it is Yanbei who is wrong, so Yanbei is also wrong if he doesn't do these things.

"Ah Miao, I don't want Huan'er to grow up to be a good person, because he was born at this time, he will inherit the weight of the country, and a humble gentleman is not enough to open up territory and protect the people of the whole country. A good person can't bear to hurt anyone in this world, but to be a monarch? Those who want to protect all people will inevitably hurt him; He doesn't need to protect everyone, just those who follow him, love him, and treat him well...... Go down a bit. ”

Yan Bei lay on the bed in the Zhao Palace, which was much more comfortable than the spacious carriage and the felt couch in the camp. Zhen Jiang lazily lay on his side and slowly scratched his rough back with his bare hands, and when he heard Yan Bei's comments on the good guys and bad guys, he paused in the movements of his hands, gently bowed his head, and then slowly scratched.

She thought of her brother, Zhen Yan, who was called a gentleman. Zhen Yan is a really good person, he obeys the law and does not do the slightest thing against the law, once he is loyal to his clan, even when the thieves in Montenegro troubled Jizhou, he still hopes that the thieves are just pretending to be a small possibility, and finally burned down with the Zhen mansion manor.

Yanbei is not a bad person, Zhen Jiang knows that her husband's nature is not bad, but who can sit in this position, who is pure? Looking at the princes of the world, there will never be any good person who can survive the fiercest wars and conspiracies, and if he dares to compete with the tiger, he will have the strength to compete with the tiger; Whoever kills the cunning fox also has more deceit than the cunning fox; Fortune does not favor a person forever, only one's own brilliant mind and strong body are the real intelligence.

"But good people can't do great things, so can bad people become big things?"

"Bad people, bad people are not as good as good people, and they are even more unsuccessful!" Yan Bei smiled disdainfully, looking at those who eventually became overlords in the history books, no one can summarize their personality in the simplest words, even if the character that can be summarized in a few words is extreme, it is often just Xiang Yu and the like, who can be brave for a while, and it is difficult to become a hundred generations, "San Lang's father-in-law Lu Fengxian, my general Lu Yi, do you think they can succeed?" A person with a simple temperament is like a bag to pick up things, and he can figure it out when he reaches out, and what he wants to do is guessed clearly and guarded tightly, where is there any chance of success? ”

Complex, only complex people can achieve great things. Often the people who become emperors are not necessarily good emperors, and their character is not good at all if they are placed on the lord of success, but in the end it is they who have made a great cause. Even many things are completely contrary to common sense in the eyes of later generations, and they just can't understand it.

"I hope that Huan'er can do great good deeds and also bear the responsibility of great evil...... Can't bear it? Yan Bei turned his head and asked Zhen Jiang with a smile, sighed and sat up, "The eldest son is not born with pleasure. ”

Of course, Zhen Jiang doesn't want her son to become what Yanbei is like in Yanbei's mouth, she doesn't even want Yanbei to be what he is now, her biggest thought is to calm the world, and she won't see each other all year round. It's not dependence or anything else, it's worry...... Inevitable worries.

Sending troops and horses is not going out on an outing, not to mention that even if you go out on an outing in these years, disasters may fall from the sky, let alone war. With the news of the war, last year's southern herald landed in Liyang by boat, and then rode a healthy horse into Handan, but no one sent the news back to the palace of King Zhao, everything was handled and sorted out in Handan City, and then the order was sent back to Henan. Except for the family letters that Yanbei sometimes carried in the war report, nothing could comfort the Zhen daughters in the majestic Zhao Palace.

This is probably the reason why the dignitaries and nobles were reluctant to marry their sisters together in the past, if something happened to Yanbei, the sky would fall.

But these words were impossible to say to Yan Bei, they could only be cautious and wait day after day. Even if Yanbei returns from the south, he knows that he will not stay for long. This kind of life is too tiring and bitter, and it is not at all like the luxury and fun of the king that people imagined in the past.

Now Zhen Jiang knows that His Royal Highness King Zhao not only wants to live such a life by himself and enjoy it, but also wants his son to live such a life, how can this be done?

"O king, why do you have to do this, and why do you ...... Hearts the world. ”

Heroes and heroes have ambitions, but if they have ambitions, they will be disappointed, and there is no perfect law in the world. It's just that this is easy to say, who can really accept that they have been left out in the cold and still have no complaints?

After all, human energy is limited.

"There is no way to discuss this matter, if you don't conceive the world, you will die without a place to be buried, not only you and me, no one will survive."

Yan Bei got up to stay, Zhen Jiang put a thin coat on him, but saw Yan Bei turn around and wave his hand to order the maid in the room to go out, close the door of the palace and walk back, pick up Zhen Jiang and put him on the couch, and untie the waist bundle.

"Don't say more, Huan'er has his own things to do, if you feel unbearable, let's have another ......"
