A strange smile appeared on Yang Sheng's lips: "Miss Jiang, do you think you belong to the side of absolute justice?"
As for me, I am just a lackey of the eunuch party, an accomplice to evil, and I have done all sorts of bad things. At most, I still have a tiny bit of conscience.
But ultimately, they still belong to the category of bad guys.
Jiang Xuerou was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Is that not how it is?"
Han Jin, despite being the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department, only knew how to curry favor with the powerful and bully his subordinates. In his hands, the Imperial Guard Department had become a tool for suppressing dissidents and accumulating wealth.
Yang Sheng, you are skilled and powerful enough to make a name for yourself in the martial arts world and be promoted to the top of the martial arts rankings. So why do you insist on working for Han Jin?
If you are willing, I can introduce you to Grand Secretary Zhang Xiren, and all past transgressions can be forgiven.
While you won't enjoy the same luxurious life under Grand Secretary Zhang as you did in the Imperial Guard, at least you won't be scorned. And if you ever manage to help the court, you'll be remembered in history.
Jiang Xuerou looked directly into Yang Sheng's eyes with great seriousness.
She wasn't being sarcastic; she was speaking to Yang Sheng with a very serious attitude.
It was because of Yang Sheng's behavior today that her attitude towards him changed, which is why she earnestly advised him to abandon darkness and embrace the light.
In her view, Yang Sheng still had some 'conscience' and was the kind of person who could be redeemed; it would be a pity for him to continue 'sinking' in the Guardian Division.
Yang Sheng was also staring at Jiang Xuerou, making her feel very uncomfortable. Then Yang Sheng suddenly burst into laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
Jiang Xuerou asked with some dissatisfaction.
Yang Sheng gently shook his head and said, "Miss Jiang, heroine Jiang, you are indeed different from Yue Zhongli and Si Tianyao. You are more naive than them."
Leaving aside the question of why I joined the Imperial Guard to work for Han Jin, are you so certain that your Grand Secretary Zhang is right? Are you all good people? Are you absolutely certain that you can restore order to the court and bring peace to the land?
Jiang Xuerou said righteously, "Of course I believe it! As long as we have enough time to eliminate those treacherous villains, the world will surely be at peace!"
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "What is a good person and what is a bad person? I've always felt that there is black and white in this world, but no good and bad."
The concepts of good and bad are all determined from a certain perspective.
Han Jin, that old eunuch, is indeed rotten to the core. The Imperial Guardian Bureau has been wasted in his hands. He has no foundation and his vision is short-sighted.
Don't look at me like that. Even if you go out and complain to Han Jin about me, do you think he'll believe you?
That being said, if Han Jin is bad, is the scholar Zhang behind you necessarily a good person?
He was incorruptible and upright, but he held a high position. Do you know how many people he could kill with a single decision?
He brought in that old fellow Huang Yunchang to establish the Qinghu Academy, but instead of improving the literary atmosphere of the capital, he cultivated countless hypocritical and sanctimonious people!
It's a joke that a veteran general of the Northern Army, who didn't die on the battlefield, was driven to his death in his bed by someone else's anger!
Do you think that general's spirit in heaven would consider Zhang Xiren a good person? Would it consider Huang Yunchang a good person?
Jiang Xuerou remained silent for a long time before finally lowering her head and explaining, "This was just an accident!"
Afterwards, Grand Secretary Zhang was also very angry. He personally reprimanded Huang Yunchang and even went to visit the general.
But unexpectedly, the general was so fiercely resolute that his blood and qi surged to the point that he could not be saved.
A mocking smile appeared on Yang Sheng's lips: "Look, a human life only earns you a scolding and a hypocritical visit."
Of course, the visit might be sincere, but what's the point?
Is this fair to that Union general?
And your Heavenly Sword Sect.
I've heard that the area within hundreds of miles of your Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain gate is all your Heavenly Sword Sect's property. Did your Heavenly Sword Sect earn every single penny of these properties?
Countless impoverished slaves cultivate the land for your Heavenly Sword Sect, while escort agencies and merchants provide you with substantial funds for your martial arts training, and in return, you provide them with military intimidation.
Do you know how many evil deeds these people have committed in the outer sect by taking advantage of your Heavenly Sword Sect's name, and how many people they have driven to their deaths?
To them, are you Heavenly Sword Sect good people? Is that fair?
What heroes and chivalrous figures? I think they're nothing but bullshit!
Throughout history, the rise and fall of dynasties have always been a source of suffering for the common people. These ordinary people are probably like ants in the eyes of you high-ranking officials and chivalrous knights, and no one cares whether they have ever received fairness.
So why set such a high standard? It's hypocrisy!
In chaotic times, there are no heroes!
