He, Min Huang, turned the noble goddess into a worldly infatuated man and resentful woman!
…
After returning to Anyi Palace, Gu Qingcheng washed up, changed into pajamas, and went to bed.
However, after drawing the curtains, she did not rush to sleep.
She began to review everything that happened tonight in her "Inner Zone 2", repeatedly studying and chewing over her conversation with Min Huang.
She also "replayed" the "inner voice" that she had deliberately opened up bit by bit.
No problem!
And Min Huang's reaction was also within her expectations.
"Your Majesty, although you were able to control your mind and deceive Min Huang, it is still difficult to complete the mission successfully!"
Huoshui felt Gu Qingcheng's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but speak.
"Being able to hear the thoughts of the person opposite you, what a powerful cheat!"
The troublemaker, a furry ball, jumped excitedly in the depths of Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness: "With such a 'magical power', no one can hide from Min Huang."
"He can accurately identify loyal and treacherous officials, and can also promptly discover those harboring evil intentions."
"And in the harem, those women will never be able to deceive him again."
He can tell who is sincere and who is fake just by listening.
Gu Qingcheng: ...retarded!
"Your Majesty, I'm speaking seriously to you. How can you curse me?"
As Huoshui was talking non-stop, he heard the curse coming from Gu Qingcheng's heart.
Gu Qingcheng didn't feel embarrassed at all even though the person she was cursing secretly heard her.
She glanced at Huoshui calmly, "Who said this is a 'magic power' or a 'killer weapon' for Min Huang?"
Huoshui was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it?"
Being able to hear people’s inner voices, what an awesome plug-in?
Gu Qingcheng: ...I really don’t want to explain to Huoshui.
However, I'm free anyway, and besides, sometimes, chatting with Huoshui for a while can help me organize my thoughts better.
"Have you ever heard a saying?"
"Judging by deeds, not hearts, no one is perfect in the world."
Gu Qingcheng said calmly, "In the court, people still insist on absolute right and wrong, good and evil. How naive they are."
Although Gu Qingcheng herself is involved in government affairs, she also has to say that when it comes to heart, no one can be dirtier than a politician!
Even some truly loyal ministers can serve as human shields for the king and protect him with their lives, but their hearts may not be pure.
We are all human beings, and it is inevitable that we have selfish desires.
The ancients all said "don't be too particular about trivial matters", as long as the greater good is not compromised, that's enough.
As an emperor, he did not need to know the true inner thoughts of civil and military officials. What he wanted were capable ministers who could govern the country and generals who could win battles.
As for what they really think in their hearts, it doesn’t matter!
Even if they are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but only want to get promoted and make money, as long as they can provide enough value to the dynasty, they are loyal ministers and good generals!
Troublemaker: ...
"Your Majesty, you are too absolute and too paranoid!"
"Even if there's no truly perfect person in the world, knowing whether someone is loyal or not is still helpful!"
"For example, if the emperor's entourage is truly loyal at a critical moment, he might be able to escape disaster."
Huoshui tried his best to refute Gu Qingcheng's overly extreme words.
Gu Qingcheng sneered in response: "Haha, if an emperor has fallen to the point where he needs to rely on others' sincerity, then he is quite pathetic!"
Seeing that Huoshui was still indignant, Gu Qingcheng directly cited a real historical case -
"The eunuchs around Chongzhen were quite loyal, didn't betray him, and were willing to hang themselves with him. But, so what? What practical use did they have?"
Gu Qingcheng used historical cases as debate materials, and Huoshui seemed to be inspired.
It quickly said, "Your Majesty, if Chongzhen could read minds, he would know the loyal and treacherous ministers in the court, so that he would not be deceived by the treacherous and wrongly kill the loyal ministers!"
Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt that there was no point in arguing with a mentally retarded person.
But, having said it, I might as well just say it out loud—
"Huoshui, as an excellent emperor, even if he doesn't have the ability to read minds, he can judge whether his ministers are loyal or treacherous based on their words and deeds."
"Even if I'm trapped in the palace and can't find out the real situation, what are the hawks and dogs like the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, the Plum Blossom Guard, and the Brocade Guards for?"
"Also, some of the loyal ministers you mentioned who were wrongly killed might not have been without selfish motives deep down."
"To put it bluntly, if an emperor like Chongzhen had the ability to read minds, he would have 'wrongly killed' even more people!"
Government affairs are not academic affairs, so there is no need for right and wrong in the true sense.
What is needed is balance. The various forces in the court must be balanced, and the pros and cons must also be balanced.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It is rare to be confused!
As long as they do not violate any issues of principle, many minor moral flaws can be tolerated.
If we really have to "judge the heart", Gu Qingcheng dares to bet that in the two thousand years of feudal dynasties, even in the prosperous dynasties that have left their names in history, there has not been a single "good person" in the court!
