Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 265 Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective

Fusu turned his head and carefully examined General Chen.

In fact, General Chen was a man who hated evil and was very logical. He did not think that Lord Zhou was innocent just because he was not involved.

As long as Lord Zhou takes cover for those corrupt officials and provides them with certain conveniences, then Lord Zhou is not an innocent person.

He was even an accomplice.

Fusu didn't think General Chen wouldn't have thought of this. The reason he was unwilling to blame Lord Zhou was simply because he felt sorry for Lord Zhou and was moved by him.

If we abandon our principles and convictions because of some external influences, or even exonerate the culprits, then we should not do so.

Does this person still have any principles?

Fusu would disdain associating with such a person, let alone promoting General Chen as before. That kind of treatment was no longer possible.

Then Fusu looked at General Chen and said, "If you abandon your long-held principles just because the other party appears pitiful, or even think that Lord Zhou is a good person and exonerate him, then you are wrong."

"Then you will have failed me in promoting and training you over the years. I have always thought you are a reasonable person who can distinguish right from wrong, which is why I was willing to let you get to your current position."

"But if you only do evil when you sit in this position, then sitting in this position will not bring any benefits, but only more harm."

Fusu did not want to promote someone himself, and of course, he would eventually become a heinous criminal.

Therefore, Fusu has always taken these matters of principle very seriously. He pays special attention to anyone he promotes, especially if that person makes a fundamental mistake.

Even if someone repeatedly fails to correct their behavior, Fusu will absolutely not show mercy and will not allow them to become an official who will bring disaster to the region in the future.

Fortunately, General Chen was not mistaken. Although he was momentarily confused, he quickly came to his senses with Fusu's help.

He finally realized who his master really was, and thankfully he came to his senses.

Otherwise, Fusu would not have let General Chen off the hook because of past favors.

Although he wouldn't let General Chen off the hook because of past feelings, they had spent so many years together, and he was someone he had raised, so there was a special bond between them.

Fusu did not want General Chen to make a mistake on this issue.

This is a big deal, but it's actually not that big.

As long as General Chen sticks to his own ideas and is not swayed by anything, he will not go astray.

Fusu had no idea that Lord Zhou's performance was so effortless, merely displaying an innocent and pitiful demeanor.

This alone won General Chen's sympathy, and he even had to speak well of Zhou to Fusu.

This had never happened before. After all, General Chen was a favorite of Fusu, but General Chen was proud and would not help others casually.

Ordinary people wouldn't catch his eye, but this time Lord Zhou was so relaxed, he didn't even have to do anything, and his performance was enough to win over General Chen.

It can only be said that General Chen's experience was not yet sufficient, and he was easily deceived by others.

The reason Fusu was able to realize this so quickly was because he was an outsider, so he could see it very clearly.

There's a saying that goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
