The Crimes of Pei Gong

Some personal thoughts, only represent my own reading experience: Some readers have simplified the story between Pei Jun and Jiang Yue in the previous life into a love-hate entanglement of powerful ministers persecuting the infatuated prince. I have seen comments in the comment area and other social platforms that judge Pei Jun as sorry and unworthy of Jiang Yue. But after watching the remastered version several times and having a rough understanding of the plot of the old version, I felt differently. There is no doubt that Jiang Yue can fight sincerely, and the peace talks will have a real impact on Jiang Yue's border soldiers. But in his first life, he forbeared for a long time and did not raise troops. It was not a purely emotional issue. There is also a hidden clue buried in the book: He knew that Pei Jun was still struggling to support the people's livelihood in the court. Once a civil war broke out, the border nomads would take the opportunity to go south, and it was the common people who would be displaced and suffer in the end. Compared with other rebirth stories, Pei Jun is actually very special. Others are reborn to repair their regrets and live for themselves, but he almost suffered a second martyrdom: in the first life, he was a paper framer of a building that was about to collapse, putting out fires within the framework of the decadent imperial power, and finally died with countless infamy; in the second life, he saw through the illusion of imperial power, no longer foolish and loyal, and began to turn to governing the country through systems, trying to use the system to restrain the monarchy, and no longer bet the safety of the world on personal character. In ancient agricultural societies, it was unrealistic to completely overthrow the imperial power. To reach this point was already a rare reform thought. Even if Jiang Yue ascends to the throne in the end, Pei Jun's goal is not to find a wise monarch and sit back and relax. He insisted on governing the country with systems and using systems to restrain imperial power and military power. What he was guarding against was never a single person, but unrestricted power itself. He risked his military exploits to push for peace talks, and his ruthless methods were owed, especially to the soldiers on the border. This cannot be washed away. But the cost of war is far more than that. In the middle of winter, continuing to fight will impose heavy corvee labor, and the people at the bottom who are already struggling to survive the winter will directly lose their way of survival. He will do a lot of dirty things and bear the infamy, in exchange for temporarily recuperating in the country. While reading, I was always confused: after two lifetimes, he spent most of his time running around for others, bearing all the criticisms, but rarely left time for himself to breathe. Pei Jun himself has a sacrificial personality when it comes to feelings. In the past life, I was attracted to Jiang Zhan like a moth, but in this life I bet on Jiang Yue, risking my life and reputation to pave the way for him. But from God's perspective, a healthy bond should not be a unilateral moth to a flame, like the old version, where only one person burns himself to complete the situation. There is one important detail change in the new version of the imperial staff: after Pei Jun received the imperial staff, Jiang Yue actively arranged for counselors to write articles to spread public opinion, which objectively alleviated some of Pei Jun's pressure and negative evaluation. I think this means that the author consciously wants to correct the problem of one-way sacrifice in the old version, so that the two can truly become allies who support each other. The old version of the imperial stick was the result of an out-of-control conflict in the court, and it was Pei Jun who unilaterally shouldered all the stigma. The incident of the imperial rod was truly labeled as a "treacherous and sycophantic official." After the imperial rod, a large section was written about Pei Jun's inner self-condemnation and the feeling that he had acted radically, which was why he was punished and brought political trouble to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue can only send doctors and medicines privately to protect his body, and will not do any external public opinion mediation; and the renovated version of the imperial staff is a political bargaining chip actively deployed by Pei Jun, exchanging legal military power for Jiang Yue, paving the way for votes and systems, and using punishment to leverage the old structure. Jiang Yue's response also transcended the limitations of private pity and was willing to use his political power to share some of the pressure on Pei Jun in the public arena. Regarding the past life, in the chess game of troubled times, there are no absolute good guys and bad guys. Both of them are involuntarily, each has his own choices, and each has his own burdens. It should not be that one person can only enjoy eternal fame, and the other person can only bear eternal infamy. I selfishly look forward to the follow-up: I hope that Pei Jun can live longer, that the system he conceived can be implemented, and that there can be more successors who truly agree with the concept. He does not seek worldly perfection, but at least allows his ideals, which have been running for two lifetimes, to have a chance to see the day when they take root and sprout.

"We will break up when Pei Gong's crime is renewed," he said, with the sun shining warmly on his body. Perhaps there is no shorter vow than this, because Guigui said that it can be renewed this year... [Crying]
