Chapter 2106 Knight's Night of Terror (Fifty)
"Just in time, Peter." Schiller poured Peter a cup of hot tea, and Peter, who was sitting on the bed in the hotel room, seemed a little uneasy. He took a sip of tea, but was almost spit out because of the heat.
"Cough cough cough..."
Schiller looked at him with disapproval and said, "What's wrong? Drink slowly, no one is competing with you."
Peter coughed violently again, then wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his sweater. He opened his arms again and slumped in the chair and said, "I just want to come and see and confirm that everything is going well."
Then he straightened up like a zombie and said, "Really, doctor, it's a very bad thing for superheroes to be exposed. They can't bear the pressure from criminals and the public at the same time. I've experienced it, so I know how hard it is."
Schiller looked at the sad look on Peter's face, he put down the teacup, sat down opposite Peter and said, "Peter, in the ancient East Fang has such a story, which says that a dynasty in ancient times was in a war, the emperor was young, and the queen mother had no power.
"A general was ordered by the emperor to go to the border to quell the rebellion. On the way to the expedition, his subordinates told him that the country was now in a war, the national strength was too weak, and the emperor could not convince the people. We risked our lives to fight, and I am afraid no one would know.
Peter's attention was gradually attracted. He remembered that when he was in the clinic, Schiller always told him some interesting stories, such as a man bought jewelry and returned the jewelry, but left the box behind, a man drove a boat, the sword fell into the water, but drew a mark on the boat...
"What should I do?" Peter asked.
He thought it was a story about a brave general comforting his subordinates and the soldiers fighting bravely and serving the motherland, but Schiller changed the subject and said.
"They cut a yellow robe that only the emperor can wear, put it on the general and said, the current emperor is still young, there is no one worthy of trust, why don't we fight back to the capital first, you become the emperor, and then lead everyone to suppress the rebellion..."
Peter spit out a mouthful of tea.
"But I didn't expect that this is not the end." Schiller continued.
"After the general returned to the capital, all the ministers felt very nervous. When he met with the ministers, he took off his yellow robe and cried to several old ministers about how the soldiers forced him to be the emperor."
Peter coughed again because of choking.
"At this time, another general stepped forward and said, anyway, we can't accept a child's orders. Someone has to be the emperor, so why not you?"
"So the general became the emperor, and the story ends here."
Peter coughed so hard that his neck and face turned red. It took him a long time to catch his breath. He covered his eyes and said, "What kind of crappy story is this? What are the people in it thinking?"
"Didn't these people leave the capital to fight? How could they have time to sew clothes during the march? If the general who wore the emperor's clothes didn't want to be the emperor, couldn't he take them off on the spot? Why did he have to wait until he returned to the capital?"
"Why did those ministers go to see him when they knew he was going to rebel? Weren't they afraid of being killed by him? And it was you who didn't take off your clothes on the road, what's there to cry about?"
"Too sharp, Peter." Schiller sighed while blowing the tea: "You perfectly grasped the key points of this story."
Peter was a little confused. Following Schiller's words, he began to think about the answers to these questions himself.
"If it was in the ancient East, they would have fought on horseback." Peter began to flip through the historical knowledge in his mind. He said, "Even if they were walking, they would not have brought scissors and needles and thread. Soldiers are not tailors, so the clothes must not have been made after leaving the city."
"If only the emperor can wear clothes of this color, the fabric must be hard to buy, and it must be made secretly. I guess not many people dare to make it, and it takes a while to find a tailor."
"Then this certainly can't be a spur-of-the-moment idea. It must have been prepared for three months in advance, right? So he must have planned it in advance, which is why he didn't take off the clothes on the way back."
"And knowing that he was going to rebel, he went to see his ministers. I'm afraid they had colluded with him long ago. After all, they didn't know whether the other party was sincere or forced before they went. From common sense, it's not likely Maybe they were forced to do so. "
"If they were really loyal, they would know that meeting the rebel leader was a dead end. Shouldn't they notify the emperor and ask him to gather troops to fight?"
"So..." Peter concluded: "The general, the soldiers he led out of the city, and the ministers who later met him must have colluded. They were just acting."
"The soldiers were impulsive, the general was forced, and the ministers were unaware. In this way, there was no culprit in the whole thing, all were victims, and they would not be scolded."
Peter heard applause from the seat opposite. Schiller applauded and shook his head and said, "It's perfect, Peter."
"Is history really like this?" Peter asked in surprise. He knew that many of the oriental stories Schiller told him were real events in history.
"No one knows." Schiller shook his head and said, "History books are written by victors. Even if they are not, there will always be errors after thousands of years of inheritance, but the truth is not important. Peter, do you think you are a smart person?"
"Well... I think I am smarter than others in some aspects."
"Too modest, in fact, you are very sharp, Peter, and the conclusions you draw are also what most smart people will draw, and they are better at conspiracy theories than you."
"They are good at inferring the process from the results. Whoever has a vested interest in a thing may be the mastermind behind it. This is usually the case."
"But sometimes we can also use this kind of thinking in reverse to push a person to a position he should not go to."
Peter leaned forward, wondering how to do it specifically.
"When you become the only beneficiary of something in theory, even if it hasn't happened yet, people who predict the future will think that it must be you who is in charge of it."
"Because if it happens, you will get a lot of benefits, so why don't you do it?"
"Just like that general, although the rebellion hadn't really happened when he was put on the yellow robe, it is conceivable that as long as the rebellion succeeds, he will be the emperor, and he will be the biggest beneficiary, so you will think that he must have planned it in advance, and this series of events is just his acting."
Peter thought and nodded and said, "I can't deny that when I made this judgment, I did think that if it succeeded, he would be the emperor. Who can resist this temptation? It's normal to have planned it in advance, right?"
"So, people who hold this view will definitely target this vested interest in advance, even if this vested interest has not actually happened, and has not gained any benefits, they want to eliminate the other party in the cradle. ”
“Once they take action, it will inevitably damage the existing interests of this person, and in order to protect himself, he will fight back. As long as he fights back, his ambition will be confirmed. ”
“People will think, see, this is indeed his conspiracy, otherwise why would he fight back?”
“If this person fights back a little faster and a little more ruthlessly, it will be even more difficult to explain. Everything will be attributed to his early preparation and big ambitions. ”
“The tension will surely evolve into a real fight, and once the fight starts, It won't end easily. "
Schiller raised his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his smile, he gently put down the teacup and said: "The bloodthirsty wolf has tasted the wonderful feeling of biting a piece of meat from the other side, and will never allow the leader wolf to stop fighting. In the end, only one side can stand here alive, and I believe that will be Bruce Wayne. "
In this late autumn season, the storm that blows unscrupulously on the unobstructed American plains is marching towards the midwinter with the whole land, and this autumn, there is a storm that is more violent than a hurricane.
You can be a successful businessman, a successful politician, a manipulator behind a big country, and a hero who upholds justice.
But you can't be a successful businessman, a successful politician, a behind-the-scenes helmsman of a country, and a real hero at the same time.
There can't be such a person in this world, because he is destined to overcome everything and walk out of a broad road without ditches and deep rivers. The snakes, insects, rats and ants that originally lived in these cracks can't allow such a thing to happen.
The Wayne Group, once synonymous with the glory and prosperity of this country, suffered an unimaginable strong offensive this fall.
The most important business partners in various fields broke their contracts without reason, and competitors who had frequent friction began to pursue and intercept without scruples. Congress amended the antitrust bill 15 times in two months, and the name of the master was in every volume of the twelve volumes of military books.
The FBI successively found that five major shareholders of the Wayne Group were suspected of economic and national security crimes. The military accused the Wayne Group of colluding with terrorists to launch a war in order to increase the number of military orders. Many newspapers and news media in which the Wayne Group invested were exposed to false reports, and the editors-in-chief were successively imprisoned.
Immediately afterwards, the raw material access channels of the Wayne Group's industrial department were blocked, and many export goods wholesaled to third world countries were found to be non-compliant or violated local anti-dumping laws.
Then the Wayne Group's factories in various countries were accused of labor occupation and environmental violations, and all preferential policies on land leasing and taxation were cancelled on the grounds that the Wayne Group's factories violated human rights.
Finally, Bruce Wayne himself was accused of 67 sexual assaults and harassment in two months, including 30 from women, 27 from men, and 10 from minors, in 13 states including New Jersey, Maryland and Colorado.
More than 200 news media reported nearly 100 times that Bruce Wayne was arrested and imprisoned, more than 60 times that his adopted son died, and 12 times that the Waynes were resurrected in two months.
More than 70 incumbent and retired local prosecutors mentioned in media interviews that the Wayne Group interfered with judicial justice through personal threats, and more than a thousand cases were mentioned as possible interference.
Dumping, monopoly, occupational embezzlement, sexual assault, murder, personal threats, Bruce Wayne fell from the altar overnight.
And at the center of the storm is still the relationship between the members of the Bat Family. Those speculations that may have only appeared in the gossip pages of some newspapers are now openly popular in major media, and everyone is serious and genuine.
They put Bruce Wayne in a desperate situation.
But they don’t know that the only one who can stand up and save the situation in a desperate situation is Batman.
They made Batman no longer a god.
But they don’t know that when Batman breaks the last trace of procedural justice, he is not falling from the altar, but the gods return to their positions.
When they say that Batman has the ability to subvert this country, of course he really has it.
