Everyone knows that what Zhuang Zhou is telling the truth. In the Warring States Period, it was an era when those who steal hooks and those who steal the country were killed. The strong attacked the weak, and the weak attacked the weak. It was an era when society was violently turbulent and the world was in chaos.

But when facing Yun Yao's question, they could not admit it because they admitted that Zhuang Zhou was telling the truth, so they had to bear the crime of "stealing the country as the princes". Even if Tian family had to pay attention to a title on behalf of Jiang, they had to formally divide the title into the Zhou emperor to make a name clear. They dare not directly bear the serious crime of stealing the country as the princes.

So I can only say that this is a lie, but even a lie can be punished and the crime of spreading rumors.

The close ministers were also versatile and realized the trap of Yunyao's renegotiation, so they directly criticized Zhuang Zhou for spreading rumors.

The King of Qi secretly said that his close ministers were smart. Although he could not offend him because of the other party's truth, even if he could not admit these truths, he could still punish him.

However, at this time Zou Ji, who was more than eight feet tall, said: "I object. If you are guilty of your words, it will be unfavorable to Qi."

King Qi frowned, obviously not expecting that Zou Ji would stand up to oppose the conviction at this time. He said: "Although he cannot be convicted for his words, he is talking nonsense, spreading rumors and causing trouble, confusing the public, so why can't he be punished?"

"King, although his words are as fierce as fire, and his actions are as strange as beasts, may anyone suffer any loss in his words? If no one suffers from his lies, he will be convicted, and I will object." Zou Ji also has Zou Ji's reasons. Since the other party is lying, it depends on whether his lies hurt others. If not, you can't convict someone just because of a simple lying, right?

There are no bad consequences, just because they are punished for lying a few words. So there are people who lie every day in Linzi. Wouldn't everyone be in danger? Of course, Zou Ji understood the idea of ​​King Qi, but he would not punish Zhuang Zhou from the perspective of King Qi. He wanted to solve this incident from the perspective of Qi, which would minimize the impact.

So the King of Qi was scolded, so who told him to be the king? But since he was determined that the other party was telling a lie and no one was injured, he could not be convicted.

King Qi also realized that he was going to suffer a loss. He looked at Zhu Yun and knew that this person was the guy mentioned by the infant son who invented the ink card. Sure enough, he was very clever and blocked the long and leisurely words of everyone present in just a few words.

Everyone knows that Zhuang Zhou is telling the truth, but because Yun Yao's replies were not easy to get into, because Yun Yao's replies gave them a step to pretend to be deaf and dumb. They knew very well that the consequences of punishing Zhuang Zhou at this time were only to stigmatize themselves, and killing Zhuang Zhou would not be able to stop the spread of the saying "The stole the hook and killed the stealer of the country". Instead, they pretended that the other party was lying and was good to everyone. Since they were lying, everyone could still be happy and pretended to be invisible and could continue playing music and dancing.

Just like Mei Qiao in the south of the city, we build a illusion. In this circle, we deceive ourselves and keep ourselves comfortable. Anyway, there is no need to actively expose the illusion. This is why every dynasty has been in the early stages of decline, singing and dancing, not because they don’t know that they are going to be over, but because they are unwilling to admit it.

Just like now, admitting that it is just a slap in the face, and the face is lifted, and even killing Zhuang Zhou is useless. If you don’t admit that, everyone can pretend to be inaudible, which means they are just a loss, but at least there is no loss in face, and everyone will get away with it after helping.

Yun Yao thought in the fairy tale that there was the emperor's new clothes, and in reality there was Zhuang Zhou's lies. Everyone knew that the emperor had nothing to wear but did not reveal it. Everyone knew that Zhuang Zhou told the truth but did not admit it. It had nothing to do with right or wrong, but only about interests.

It would be good for everyone to pretend not to hear, and the monarch and ministers of Qi quickly reached a tacit understanding.

After hearing Zou Ji's words, King Qi was not good at continuing to persevere. After all, although Zhuang Zhou's words were very lethal, although they were unable to bear the pressure, if he insisted on punishing the other party, he would seem to be guilty and fearful, which would be bad.

But I am really unhappy. When did King Qi suffer such a loss? He was scolded by someone but couldn't get angry. He had to forgive him. He was really fucking himself.

"Just listen to the words of the prime minister, let it go." After saying that, King Qi stood up and went to the venue where the dog chased the rabbit.

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted, but it was obvious that the matter would not end like this. Mencius and other scholars looked at Zhuang Zhou and Yunyao, and they would inevitably debate with them in the future.

The infant son sighed and said, "I originally had the intention to recommend you, but now." After today's incident, the infant son has lost his intention to recommend Yun Yao. It is thankful that they offended the King of Qi and were not beheaded. They dare not let the King of Qi reuse Zhu Yun again.

Zhuang Zhou was confused because he was ready to be broken by a car, because he pointed out the fatal hole of King Qi, but he didn't expect it to be left alone. After all, he was a young man. Although he was cynical, he didn't understand the officialdom enough and did not understand why the king and his ministers were collectively silent.

"This is politics." Yun Yao thought to himself that Zhuang Zhou should learn something.

"not understand."

Yao Zhuang grabbed her husband's sleeve and was still trembling at this time. She almost thought her husband would be beheaded just now. It was really terrible. Now she was a little foggy and her feet were not on the ground.

"Right and wrong are not the only criterion. If all things in the world can be distinguished by right and wrong, then the world will not be so chaotic." Yun Yao explained to Zhuang Zhou: "In addition to right and wrong, there is also the word "profit". Of course, they know that you are telling the truth, but they cannot admit it. If you admit it, they cannot maintain their own interests. If you admit it, they will become the thief."

"But they were."

"Yes, they are, but as long as they do not admit that they are stealing the country, they can control Qi safely. This is political tacit understanding. In fact, they all know that the King of Qi is a stealing the country, and they are also false benevolence and righteousness, but they need this set of lies to continue to make profits for themselves. As long as they reach a tacit understanding, they can continue to pretend to be a wise ruler and a wise minister as before." Yun Yao said.

Zhuang Zhou said hello on his face, "It's true, it's false, it's false. Can you still pretend that it's true or fake?

"It seems you still don't understand, so let's talk about Zou Ji's mocking King Qi to accept advice. You have been in Linzi for so long, so you should know this story, right?" Seeing Zhuangzi nodding, Yunyao continued, "Everyone knows that Mr. Xu is better than the prime minister, but his wife, concubine, and guest lie in tacit understanding. In fact, the reasons for these two things are similar, and turning a blind eye to the truth is good for him. However, Zou Ji did not deceive himself in the end, admitting that he was not as good as Mr. Xu, but King Qi chose to deceive himself and not admit that he was a stealer of the country."

Zhuang Zhou was thinking, and in Zou Ji's story of mocking King Qi to accept advice, everyone was lying because his wife favored him, his concubine was afraid, and his guests asked him, so their answers were not based on the truth or falsehood, but on seeking profit and avoiding harm.

"Let's go, let's go see dogs chasing rabbits." Yunyao led everyone to continue to participate in the hunting.

"Let's go back." Yao Zhuang was really afraid that his husband would make another shocking remark and cause another murder.

"I've come here, how can I not have fun?" Yunyao said: "Don't worry, you have to have confidence in your master, and you can still protect both of you carefully."
