Chapter 159 Humanity is invincible

In the Northeast Plain in late winter and early spring, the remaining snow and the black soil intertwine, like a Go board full of chess pieces. Zheng Yu took his eyes back from the train porthole and smiled at the boy opposite: "This is like playing chess."

"In this Black Province incident, the opponent took the lead, but I had a bigger game, higher chess power, and additional help, so although I was the one who followed the white side, I came from behind. The same was true in the game between the Al Shabaab and His Majesty. Both games of chess were won, the one who took the lead lost, and the one who lost completely."

"Winners, there is a reason to win." Zheng Yu said seriously, "Who is right and who is wrong, often it is the husband who says he is right and the mother who says he is right, but everyone has his own judgment in the end. You have read all the newspapers. You should have read the materials I gave you. To be honest, is what you people originally thought and what they are going to do now, right or wrong?"

"I don't know." Luo Anjie's eyebrows were tangled with pain, his eyes were covered with bloodshots. "I have always felt that our ideals are noble. But now seeing these, I want to deny them but can't deny them. I really don't know..."

"The so-called good starting point does not necessarily lead to good results. The more lofty ideals are, the more harm it may bring." Zheng Yu looked at the other party's painful expression and felt a little pity in his heart. "On the surface, you want to achieve something very noble, but in fact, what you have done is to hurt too many innocent people and destroy the order of society. Objectively, you have been exploited by a group of so-called revolutionaries."

"Democracy? What is democracy?" Zheng Yu shook his head, "Seeing these, do you still think these scums can bring a so-called democratic society to China? They use you to trigger government conspiracy and retaliation, trigger more students and citizens to take violence, and trigger hatred between the government and the people, so that they can take advantage of the situation. They are despicable and shameless, but they still have to stand on the commanding heights of morality to blame others. Look at the Al Shabaab, look at your number one..."

"Revolutionaries? Send the youth to the altar and cast their heads and blood on their heads. They are still talking passionately about the 'National Awakening'." Zheng Yu's tone suddenly became loud, "You have passion and passion, but you are too naive and easily misled and deceived. Believe me, revolution is always the worst choice."

Luo Anjie's eyes flashed and his expression changed. Zheng Yu lowered his head and drank a sip of tea.

"Yes, they failed, both in the result and in morality." After a while, the boy's eyes began to condense, "But our ideals may not be wrong. Success or failure cannot tell whether it is right or wrong."

Zheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Don't think of them as natural villains or scumbags. The reason why I say you are too immature is because you lack understanding of politics and human nature. You are just analyzing the world with a black or white perspective."

"No one is born to do evil. But the changes in human experience and status will change people's thoughts and behaviors." Zheng Yu said calmly, "Maybe the original intention of many revolutionaries is not bad. They saw some injustice and darkness in society, and even experienced suffering personally, so they wanted to change something, and the most direct thing was violence. Later, when they entered this cause, they came into contact with politics, power, and experienced the wonderful things. They gradually discovered that revolution was actually not a very bad business. Originally just an ordinary person, but now they can simply replace the originally unattainable big shots, seize everything from them, and dominate a country."

"You must know that these revolutionaries are from authoritarian society. They have been baptized by authoritarian culture through hearing and seeing since childhood." Zheng Yu said slightly, "When they understand the beauty of power, these factors will gradually sprout. Gradually, the ideal of revolution may not be important. How to make the people happier after success is no longer important, and the country will be stronger and stronger. The most important thing is to obtain those powers. All the greatest sins are done in the name of nobleness. They use any means to make revolution. When they prepare this fig leaf for themselves, the ideal of revolution will give way to the desire for power."

"This is human nature," he stared at the boy opposite him and said word by word, "they can't fight, you can't fight either. If they come to power, they will probably be more autocratic than the authoritarian government they call them, and more corrupt than the corrupt bureaucrats they denounce. You are no exception."

Luo Anjie wanted to refute, but finally became silent. He just flipped through the newspaper silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"For social development, revolution is always the last choice." Zheng Yu looked at the silent boy, "Yes, many times revolution requires courage and heroism, so revolution often looks romantic and exciting, but when the revolution is over, people calm down and discover what the revolution brings."

"For the people, the most important thing is not the exciting slogans and banners, nor the changes and blood of revolution and counter-revolution, but the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and the warm bed of wives and children." Zheng Yu's eyes flashed with an inexplicable spirit, "A stable and forward-looking society, a society that can improve its own life by creating value, is what the people need. The darkness and injustice of society cannot be eliminated in any country or any era. It is irresponsible to overthrow the government on the grounds of eliminating these."

Luo Anjie slowly raised his head, his eyes full of contradictions and confusion: "You are the prince of the empire. Naturally, you hope that society will be stable and that the people will obey the people. But what about the people? A revolution, bloodshed, sacrificed, smoke of gunpowder, and countless casualties. Is it just to be obedient to another dynasty? Since we are going to build a new country, why not choose a more advanced system? The presidential system of the United States and the republic of France, aren't these good? Without the emperor, the people elect the government themselves and become the masters of their own country. China is already backward, so the system must be more advanced, otherwise how can we chase others?"

"The advantages and disadvantages of the system must be combined with the specific national conditions and historical background. It is not the so-called logically advanced system, the more applicable the system." Zheng Yu looked at the young man, "China's national conditions determine the innate advantages of the monarchy in the issue of stabilizing society, gathering strength, developing the country and maintaining unity. I am not saying that democratic republic is not good, but just saying that they are not as good as constitutional monarchy to be more suitable for China today."

"Looking at the rationality of a government, we need to see whether it is conducive to the development of society and the improvement of people's happiness, rather than from some dark side of society, and from logical inferences to a priori. We cannot judge the current system naturally because there is a so-called more reasonable or even more logically more reasonable system. This so-called historical inevitable trend theory and absolute truth theory often lead to terrible consequences." Zheng Yu looked at the young man, but his eyes were particularly deep, as if he had traveled through certain obstacles in time and space. "Everyone should have seen the progress of the country in recent years. Although there are still many places that require major surgery, the problem should be solved through reasonable and legal means. Beating down at any time is a very dangerous trend for society."

Luo Anjie's face was gloomy, and a complex light flashed in his blood-blown eyes. After a long time, he slowly said: "But I still don't want an emperor on my head."

"What's the difference between changing an emperor to a president? He can also turn himself into a lifelong president, hereditary president, and put his relatives into key departments to realize the world." Zheng Yu said, "What do you do then? Let's have another revolution? What will the revolution bring to the people in the end? You don't like the emperor, but you can't deny that his existence is beneficial to the country. Without this emperor, the country may have been broken into pieces and will be beaten to the death. You and me, now there is no leisure to sit and talk like this."

Luo Anjie looked at Zheng Yu with complicated eyes, but remained silent.

"You also know my identity, but you should understand that I also take great risks in doing these things." After a while, Zheng Yu said calmly, "The report letter was sent in your name, and there will naturally be corresponding inquiries after returning to Beijing. You are an important witness, you must understand this."

Luo Anjie raised his head and looked at Zheng Yu silently, with the expression on his face extremely complicated.

"Don't thank me." Zheng Yu waved his hand, "To protect you and your family, your sister did everything she could. I regard her as my sister and naturally as my younger brother. I don't need to thank me."

Luo Anjie was silent for a while, and his expression suddenly became a little strange: "I... actually just want to ask you something."

Zheng Yu asked subconsciously: "What's the matter?"

"Are you sincere to my sister...?"
