C1346 Can peoples hearts be used? (2/2)
”Traditional! That's right, it's not wrong, the one who is controlling the hearts of the people in Great Qing is not the Emperor, but the traditional, the power of inertia.
With a smack, Xiao Letian snapped his fingers, ”That's right, that's right! You guessed right, it's a habit … Every single citizen of Great Qing is not someone who popped out from nowhere. They have parents, grandparents, three relatives, six friends! ”
”At his side, countless people were using their usual actions to brainwash them. Grandfather is telling the story of Master Kang Xi, Grandfather is telling the legend of Master Yongzheng, Father is telling about the flowers in the dryad … In addition to that, there was also the selective instigation from the storyteller and Mr. Book Lover, which naturally led to the formation of a so-called loyal and patriotic thought! ”
”I remember telling you guys in a small class! ”Man is a very mysterious thing. When his outlook on life, values and the world took shape at the age of 20, he would normally be able to control it for the rest of his life …”
”Humans are very stubborn. When they reach 18 or 20 years of age and form some kind of thought, they would be like a tree taking root and controlling them for a lifetime. Their strong self-awareness would make him constantly brainwash himself!”
”Wash what? I am the most correct person to have instilled in myself the thought of 'I am always right'. What my father said is also the most correct, and what my grandfather and relatives said is even more correct.
”Aren't there countless of such people in the world? How many adults have a quarrel or even a fight because of different thoughts? In the end, it's because you denied my knowledge and said I was wrong! ”This is what the Buddha said I'm stubborn!”
”I do!” Being obsessed with oneself as the center is always the best right for oneself. The wrong will always be other people, and it will always be society! Such a person would have become a slave to his own thoughts, which, in fact, had been inculcated and brainwashed by the environment before the age of 18! ”
”Haha …” Do you still remember the story of the West Water Gate? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you just returned back home. You may not have heard the story of the Tanggu … ”
”I just want those refugees to let go of their wives and daughters' feet, cut off their braids, and get paid for their jobs, don't I? Are these requests excessive? In fact, it's not excessive at all, but there are still countless people who choose to refuse.
”Why? This kind of behavior was also human nature! Just as I said, the human heart is stubborn and refuses to change. But at the same time, he still wants to share his happiness without changing even a little bit of it! ”
”Do you think I can change a Great Qing like that? Am I to reason with a population of 400 to 500 million? Do I have the ability to affect everyone? ”
”Please! I am also a human, not a god. I cannot defeat the deep-rooted obsession in people's hearts! ”
Xiao Letian stood there with a lonely expression, his body moving up and down like a mountain. At that moment, Xiang Ying clearly felt the old and tired expression on the Prime Minister's face.
”Is there no other way? Could it be that the citizens of the Great Qing would be allowed to follow their so-called habit and sink into oblivion? To fall asleep in a dream of loyalty and patriotism? ”
