Chapter 700: The undertaking is not half-finished and the middle path collapses

~7 min read 1,374 words

Zhao Mingqiao didn't know if what Chen Guanlou said was right or wrong, but he was very shocked and saw the diversity of the world again. It was as if a window had been opened, and peeking at a corner outside the window was enough to make him flustered, at a loss, and completely uncomfortable.

His heart was full of anger, and a force was scurrying in his body, wanting to rush out, sternly roaring, and refuting the other party's crooked theory.

But...

Where should he refute from?

Talk about big principles?

Principles seemed pale and powerless at this moment, with no combat effectiveness.

"No, it's wrong! I can't find your loophole for a while, but I just think what you said is wrong. People who have raised the banner since ancient times, if they have no human smell, why do so many people follow them to fight for the country?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head and smiled, no need to cover it up, using the most real language to pierce the beautiful disguise.

"Because of glory and wealth, because of power and fame, because of being able to be a person above others. Go and ask those guys who rebelled, which one isn't for being a person above others? Either die, or be a person above others, changing from being bullied to bullying others.

Is there a pure belief? Yes! There must be! Belief is a flame, a direction, a bright light, but it is not human smell.

You can treat belief as a slogan, just like the "asking for the people" that you scholars shout. In fact, you scholars only study to be officials, to get rich. What is "asking for the people"? Occasionally, someone really asks for the people, and they are scolded as fools, and the ending is not very good.

Real life is not a book; people with pure beliefs died long before the rebellion succeeded, becoming stepping stones. No one lived to the day the dynasty was established. Because if such people lived, wouldn't they set off the Emperor like a clown?

Zhao Mingqiao, although you pursue purity, you cannot be a pure person; sincerity, enthusiasm, kindness, and justice can be the quality of any person in the Youth Society, and it is also the quality of the Youth Society, but it cannot be your quality. You can be an upright leader, but you must not have human smell."

Zhao Mingqiao immediately refuted: "It is clearly inconsistent, self-contradictory. You want to be upright, but you can't have human smell; listen, is this human talk?"

Chen Guanlou scolded back directly: "So you are stupid from reading. Who told you that being upright must have human smell, must have human feelings? Upright and human feelings are two completely different things."

He found that the orthodox scholars of this era, most of their brains were really one-track.

Similar to Xie Changling, Yu Zhaoan, this kind of transparent, smooth, and able to be elegant and secular people, are truly rare. Compared to qualifications, Zhao Mingqiao is a big gap behind them.

However, they don't have Zhao Mingqiao's ability to bewitch people and unite people.

Fortunately, they each found their own most proficient track.

Which one is superior or inferior, who can win, who is the one laughing to the end, wait and see.

Chen Guanlou privately hoped that Zhao Mingqiao could win.

However, Zhao Mingqiao, this person, his execution is terrifyingly strong; as long as it is something he identifies, he will take action immediately and will not stop until he reaches his goal. But he is also particularly stubborn, even paranoid. Wanting to change his inherent ideas is really not a matter of a day or two; it must be that he hits the south wall and has an understanding before he can listen to other people's suggestions.

Yu Zhaoan and Xie Changling are the opposite; they are willing to communicate and collide with others in thought, seeing the greatness of the world. If the other party says something reasonable and can inspire them, they will not exclude it, nor will they accept it all. Instead, they will integrate the other party's thoughts with their own and turn them into their own Dao.

"Being an upright person must be a person with human smell." Zhao Mingqiao insisted on his point of view.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes at the other party, not hiding his disgust and contempt at all.

Zhao Mingqiao gritted his teeth and said: "I will prove that I am right."

"Wait until you hit the south wall." Chen Guanlou clearly didn't look favorably on the other party's persistence.

"Do you think the people around me have problems?"

"I don't know if there are any problems. I only know that if I were sitting in your position, I definitely wouldn't have as much human smell as you."

"Could it be that you manage the Heavenly Prison without human feelings?"

Chen Guanlou waved his hand and said: "Eh, these are two things. Whose is the Heavenly Prison? It's the imperial court's. Who are we? We are prison guards, eating the imperial court's bowl, eating the imperial court's rice. I am full of human feelings for the people below because I am just a prison warden of the Heavenly Prison, not the owner of the Heavenly Prison.

Is the Youth Society the imperial court's? Clearly not. The Youth Society was founded by you, Zhao Mingqiao, with hard work; it is your own son. It is appropriate for you to be full of feelings for the Youth Society.

But for the members of the Youth Society, if there is too much human smell and a lack of vigilance, sooner or later you will hit the south wall.

This is like an Emperor; the Emperor fights for every inch of his country and doesn't let go of his wealth. But for officials, for court officials, look at which Emperor is not full of vigilance, not cold enough, not cruel enough? Muddled Emperors can sit firmly on the country because they lack human smell and don't act like humans. Those whose countries were overthrown were mostly those who wanted to be humans, with too much human smell on their bodies."

"Nonsense, bewitching the crowd, crooked theory!" Zhao Mingqiao countered impolitely.

Chen Guanlou was not polite to him either. "You are stubborn and prejudiced, not listening to people's words and eating losses before your eyes. You are also self-righteous and short-sighted."

"I am willing to be a human, is that wrong?" Zhao Mingqiao was furious.

In this day and age, there is actually someone persuading people not to be humans. It is simply breaking the lower limit. Living for decades in this life, this is the first time I heard anti-human remarks; he didn't raise his stinky shoe, which is already treating Chen Guanlou as his friend. Being friends, moving mouths and not hands, this is the bottom line.

Chen Guanlou sneered, not hiding his disgust and contempt. "Wanting to be a human, being a good person, is definitely not wrong. The mistake is that you want to be a human and you want to be a leader; it's self-contradictory! Why is there the saying "those who achieve great things don't care about small details"? I tell you, this sentence is specifically created for heroes, for characters who stir up the world's situation. It is to whitewash them for not acting like humans and find a high-sounding reason."

"I agree with your second half, but I don't agree with your first half. There is no incompatibility between humans and leaders; it shouldn't be exclusive; there must be a way to be compatible."

"There is! Using your life to sacrifice to heaven, it can definitely be compatible. You want to be a human and you want to be a leader; the final ending is to use your life to sacrifice to heaven, and the undertaking is not half-finished and the middle path collapses! You can't find a second result."

Chen Guanlou said very firmly.

Looking through history books, you can see countless similar examples; without exception, they are all losers, or they were beaten into thieves! Anyway, it's not a good word. ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
