Chapter 409 Selfishness and Comparing Hearts(2/2)

The emperor hummed.

He asked: "Then have you ever thought about why I should be special to you and others?"

Lin Ye replied: "I have thought about it, but I have not figured it out."

The emperor smiled.

He said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about these things, and you don't have to think about comparing yourself with anyone else."

I almost said this, you are not Tuoba Lie.

Lin Ye replied: "I understand."

The emperor said: "You just need to remember that I treat you better because I hope you can help me get things done at a special time in the future."

He said: "This is a truth that even the common people know. If you want to ask someone for help, you must first be nice to them."

"People come to ask for help, and they probably bring some gifts. I want you to help me, and of course I want to treat you better."

For a moment, Lin Ye didn't know how to think about the analogy of the emperor, because this analogy was actually not very good.

The emperor was in a good mood, so he didn't care whether the metaphor was good or bad.

The emperor said: "You don't have to worry about what this period is or what I want to entrust you to do. When that time comes, the things that should be done will naturally be in front of you."

He looked at Lin Ye: "So now, it would be better if I could be nice to you. After all, I am begging you."

What he said shocked Lin Ye.

Lin Ye leaned over: "I don't dare."

The emperor smiled and said: "What else do you dare not do? I have never really cared about comparing people's hearts to each other before this, because it is not practical."

He looked at Lin Ye: "Do you understand?"

Lin Ye nodded.

If the emperor had a heart-to-heart comparison with the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty twenty years ago, instead of resorting to thunderous means, then the emperor now would have been manipulated by powerful ministers like the late emperor and had no power to fight back.

"Comparing one's heart to one's heart is for those who have a heart."

The emperor said: "You are."

As he walked, he said: "In the past twenty years, I have been doing only one thing... the right thing."

He said: "But at different times, I did the right thing, and the results were different."

Back then, when the emperor chose Liu Jigong, it was the most correct thing to do.

However, Liu Jigong died.

The emperor now is different from that then. When the emperor chooses the right person, he can make that person not only alive, but also live strongly.

The emperor suddenly smiled, a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

He said: "You are still young, so you probably feel that the four words "sympathy" are mutual emotional giving."

"But what I want to tell you is out of public motives. I will never compare my feelings with others. All comparisons of my feelings with others are because of selfish motives."

He looked at Lin Ye: "My kindness to you is also my selfish intention."

Having said this, the emperor let out a heavy breath.

"I have treated others and myself with a public heart for too long. I also want to be a little selfish. However, I am the emperor after all. If I want to be selfish, I will inevitably still be a little domineering."

Lin Ye was confused by what he said.
