Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 122, Red Eyebrow Lord
Hearing Tianze talking about Zhanlu, Ziyou held Zhanlu in front of him. He brought Zhanlu out on the one hand for self-defense, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Tianze's opinion of Zhanlu.

"Zhanlu was the national treasure of the Yue Kingdom at the beginning. Apart from the Tianyue Sword, Zhanlu had an outstanding status in the Yue Kingdom. It was donated by the King of Yue to Helu, the King of Wu. It appeared in the hands of King Goujian of Yue again, and Yue people thought it was God bless Yue.

Later, when Yue State and Wu State counterattacked, Goujian went into battle with Zhanlu armor in every battle, and the Wu people would be defeated. It is precisely because of Zhanlu that the people of Wu State recognized Goujian, and Yue State has a lot of credit for being able to stabilize the internal dominance of the princes Zhanlujian.

After that, Zhanlu has been spread in the land of Wuyue, and the legend of Zhanlu has also been circulated in Baiyue, a descendant of Wuyue. "Tianze looked at Zhan Lujian with complicated eyes and said.

If he had the Zhanlu Sword at the beginning, there is a high probability that the tribes in Baiyue would obey his orders and join him in resisting the Han-Chu coalition forces. Zhanlu is not only a national symbol in the hearts of the people of Baiyue, but Zhanlu is also special in the eyes of those great witches. important.

Listening to Tianze's explanation, Ziyou also gradually understood the symbol of Zhanlu. Zhanlu is like their belief in the hearts of Baiyue people. , Suihouzhu, and Shibi, Ziyou also thought of the legend about the Zhanlu sword.

The Zhanlu sword was cast, and the king of Yue regarded it as a national treasure.The State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, and King Helu of Wu received the sword.But one day the sword suddenly disappeared, and one day this gleaming sword was suddenly found beside King Chu Zhao's pillow.The swordsman entered the palace to solve the riddle and said: This is the sword "Zhanlu" of Ou Yezi, the sword master in Wuzhong. The country where the sword is located, its country will be far and prosperous.Chu Zhaowang Dayue: "This is an auspicious sign from heaven!"

After that, Zhanlu returned to Goujian's hands. Under Goujian's publicity, he used Zhanlu as a banner to arouse the hearts of the people of Yue State, and at the same time spread the legend about Zhanlu in Wu State. The reason for the three regicides seems to be clear. King Yue lost his Zhanlu sword and was discovered by other people. Some ambitious people planned to use this reason to usurp the throne. The people in Wuyue are superstitious. There will be no excessive resistance.

This kind of rationality and legitimacy that relies on some kind of spiritual sustenance to declare itself is not a lot in history. It can be said that every country and every dynasty exists, otherwise there will be no fox calls and one-eyed stones in future generations. People appeared.

Hearing Tianze's words, Ziyou understood Tianze's thoughts, and also respected Tianze's persistence, stood up and said

"Since Mr. Chimei has figured it out, I won't say anything more. I hope you will make the right choice."

Just when Ziyou was about to leave with Xuenv, Tianze suddenly asked
"What would you do if I insisted on going my own way?"

Ziyou stopped and said
"Those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. War is a cruel thing. It will only bring benefits to the superiors. It is the common people who suffer. So I want to minimize the harm caused by war to the common people. , but it does not mean that I am a soft-hearted person, I want to give everyone a decent, if someone does not want this decent, I will help him to be decent.

Ruling the country with benevolence and righteousness, loving the people, Confucianism will, and Confucianism will also subjugate the country and exterminate the species. "

Ziyou's voice was flat and comfortable, but the content made one's backs shudder. Yan Lingji, Exorcist Demon and Hundred Poison King's backs suddenly felt chills, especially Yan Lingji, her contact with Ziyou In the movie, Ziyou always showed a very friendly look, but when Ziyou talked about the subjugation of the country, she felt that Ziyou was not joking, but that he could really do such a thing.

Ziyou took Xuenv away, and the thatched cottage suddenly became deathly silent. The Exorcist, the Hundred Poison King, and Yan Lingji all looked at Tianze. They were waiting for Tianze's choice, but Tianze didn't look at them. , but walked out of the thatched hut on his own, came to the top of the mountain, and looked to the west of Xinzheng City, which was once the place where King Han placed the Baiyue survivors.

The Exorcist, Hundred Poison King and Yan Lingji looked at each other and returned to their respective rooms.

The next day, Tianze was still sitting on the top of the mountain, wondering what he was thinking, and the other three were still busy with their own affairs, and the exorcist went to preside over the funeral. Although the village is remote and there is no war, but People will inevitably have accidents when they are working. The King of Hundred Poisons is studying his own poison. Yan Lingji is sitting on a tree and looking east, wondering what he is thinking.

At dusk, Tianze came down from the top of the mountain, and the three immediately went up to meet them. Tianze looked at the three and said

"Follow me to Mr. Ziyou."

"Looking for him?" Yan Lingji asked in surprise.

"Yes, you should know where he lives?" Tian Ze asked.

"know."

Yan Lingji brought Tianze and the others to Ziyou's residence. Ziyou was reading a book in another courtyard at this time. He was not surprised to see Tianze and the others descending from the sky. Sipping hot tea, Amaze said
"You know I'm coming?"

"I knew you would make the right choice from the red-browed lord you said. The people of Baiyue still have a good king." Ziyou looked at Tianze and said, Confucianism has three types of monarchs, The first type is the sage king like Yao, Shun and Yu, the second type is the lord of the mean, this kind of person is also the most common and includes the most types, and the third type is the brutal monarch like Xia Jie.

And Tianze belongs to the lord of the mean. Confucianism evaluates the monarch from three aspects. The first is the means of the monarch to govern the country. Tianze can be said to be a smart warrior himself. This is not good for Tianze. The third is also the most important one. Regarding the views of the people, although Tianze does not meet the first two conditions, the third one is that the current Tianze is doing well. He gambled with the future of the Baiyue people.

When Tianze responded to the red-browed gentleman, he explained that he not only regarded the red-browed gentleman as a title and honor, but as a sense of responsibility as the prince of Baiyue, and he wanted to save a certain life for Baiyue.

"Baiyue is the descendant of Chi You, the god of war, and Zhongyuan is the descendant of Yanhuang. Can the two really coexist?" Tian Ze asked, looking at Ziyou.

Ziyou put down the book in his hand and handed it to Tianze. This is the last hurdle, and it is also a threshold that the Central Plains and Baiyue cannot pass. Tianze is worried about whether Baiyue will be accepted by the Central Plains. They are all barbarians in their eyes, let alone Baiyue.
