After Mikey's toast abdicated, the second young master said a few words to the old toast. He said he was not stupid, the old toast was more stupid than him, and the gentleman was more stupid than the old toast.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the second young master is really stupid or not. He went to the world once, not to prove himself a wise man, but to witness the demise of the toast system.
What it feels like to be treated as a fool is more depressing than humiliating.
The second young master got a slap in the face from the gentleman, and he felt extremely painful. He looked for someone everywhere and begged for a beating. In this way, others feel that he is hopelessly stupid.
In order to survive, he played the role of a fool from an early age, intentionally or unintentionally, but his true self did not wake up. Later, he left Maiqi Guanzhai and gradually showed his talent and ambition, but he still dared not lose his disguise.
He is free in his sleep, he is himself. But once he wakes up, he will remind himself that he is the second young master of McKee's family, a young master with a little brain problem.
It was not until he established a prosperous market on the border that he finally woke up and stopped doubting himself. "Where am I" and "Who am I" will never bother him again.
Father and son, brothers, regardless of family ties, only struggle for power. He started a career on the northern border by himself, and finally he no longer doubted that he was a fool.
There is no doubt that the second young master is sometimes smarter than anyone else.
When Mai Qi's family became rich, he suggested that the toast exempt the people from paying tribute for one year. He thinks, "For a toast, this is enough. Toast is toast, and toast can't be king. "
His uncle gave up fighting for the position of toast and drifted to a foreign land to become a businessman. The second young master thinks he is very clever, because "people who don't want to win everything are smart."
Lachaiba Toast and Ronggong Toast turned to the Second Young Master for help because of lack of food. The Second Young Master did not sell them food directly, but manipulated them to fight against each other. As the saying goes, "When the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman gains", he becomes the only winner. He not only gets the land and the people, but also gets the most beautiful woman as his wife.
He doesn't understand many things, but he will have a strong hunch about what will happen. This shows that the second young master is not clever in the ordinary sense, nor is he even wiser than a fool. He has a mysterious color that is difficult to explain.
The second young master does have something extraordinary, but all this is in vain. All power, wealth and beauty do not belong to him.
I really saw the ending clearly, and the toast who competed with each other suddenly disappeared. Tusi Guanzhai fell apart, and mushroom-shaped smoke and dust emerged. After the dust in the sky cleared away, there was nothing on the earth. "
This is the premonition of the second young master. He saw the end of the toast, but he couldn't see the future clearly, and he was unable to change the reality.
He is just a witness, a witness who expected the ending but could do nothing.
For the people in that land, the second young master is an absolute marginal figure. Some of his remarks and actions always seem so out of place. But he doesn't belong to the outside world. He didn't know all kinds of thoughts and movements in the Republic of China, so many literati.
As he said, he only saw the demise of the toast, but could not see the future clearly. What can he do? With his knowledge and vision, he can do nothing.
He can hardly read. "Tibetan has thirty letters, and he can probably recognize three and five." Also, who would let a fool read?
He also has no access to knowledge. In the vast chieftain stockade, there are only one or two books in the chieftain's room except the scholastic. That was a long time ago, when Mikey's family still had a clerk, some family matters were recorded.
He doesn't know what a revolution is. When his uncle asked him to contribute to the anti-Japanese war, he heard that the plane was a big iron bird with two wings, so he gave his uncle 200 thousand silver tickets on the grounds that he hoped to have his two iron wings in the sky.
Too many changes have taken place in modern times and too many new things have appeared. The information in their place is blocked, and Weng Boyisi, Commissioner Huang and his uncle are the only way for the second young master to acquire knowledge.
All three "teachers" told him that the toast would not exist for long.
When the second young master is full of confusion about the future, Commissioner Huang's words are like an awakening, making him understand that he is just a frog in the well with short knowledge.
Commissioner Huang said, "He never regarded the young master of McKee's family as a fool, but when it comes to such things, even the smartest people in this land are just idiots. Because no toast seriously wants to know what is a country and what is a nation. "
When Commissioner Huang said at the toast party that there would be no more toast in the world, the toast was very disdainful. They did not believe that they could not beat a Han king with so many toasts.
What's the difference between the second young master and other toast? Isn't he also busy fighting for power before the toast is about to disappear, imagining that he will be the toast of Mickey?
His sorrow lies in knowing that the old things are going to die, but he finds that he is actually a part of the old things.
"I've been a fool all my life. Now I know I'm not a fool or a wise man, but I came to this strange land at the end of the toast system. Yes, God told me to see, to hear, to be in it, and to be aloof. God made me look like a fool for this purpose. "
Old things are dying, and he foresaw it before anyone else. But he can't be new. He doesn't know what new is. He belongs to this old world completely, from birth to death.
When he was young, Miki Toast secretly bought Doji Tsering, the housekeeper of Chacha Tou, in order to get his property and women. After the job was done, Miki Toast refused to honor his promise, but killed Doji Tsering instead.
It was this greed and lust of Mikey's toast that made Mikey's family have two more enemies.
Revenge, in their view, is a very serious matter. There are many rules that must be followed.
Doji Tsering's two sons agreed with each other that they must kill a real Miki Toast. If Miki Toast dies before they do it, it is necessary to kill the newly succeeded Toast, so as to avenge the family.
How terrible the rules of revenge are, but the second young master never wanted to kill them.
When Dorje Tsering's eldest son knocked on the second young master's door, the second young master said, "My life is knocking."
He doesn't hide at all. In the end, the revenge rule of the dying old world swallowed him up, which was the last "gift" given to him by the backward and dying toast system.
He struggled and proved for himself. When he realized that he was only a witness to the end, he was able to accept his tragic fate calmly.
