The devil is coming

Chapter 581 Leftovers
"I have disappointed Nanhou. At this moment, all that is left in Yingdu is the leftovers."
In front, an old man with crane hair and white beard appeared. The old man was wearing a green robe, holding a green snake crutch in his right hand, and was supported by a little girl in his left hand.
Yao Zizhan, the Literary Sage of the Qian Kingdom, is recognized by the four major countries as a master of contemporary literature. Every time his words, poems, and articles come out, they attract literati and dignitaries from all over the world to circulate them.
However, Da Chu has always had its own cultural heritage, and the family responsible for this heritage is the Jing family.
The Jing family has a big family and a big business. He will not raise private soldiers like other nobles, because this is not where their family can rely.
In terms of Dachu education, sacrifices, etiquette, etc., the Jing family is a well-deserved leader.
The Shanyue tribe has always been called a barbarian existence. The ancestors of the Jing family once entered Daze alone with three or five followers, and taught batch after batch of Shanyue tribes to submit to the culture, education and etiquette represented by Da Chu. , let them realize their own barbarism and backwardness, thus fundamentally denying themselves and then joining the Great Chu.
As the saying goes, defeat the enemy without fighting.
In the words of a blind man, this is the true meaning of "conquering others with virtue";
Even the saying "If people from afar are not convinced, then they should cultivate virtue and come here" has a different flavor in the eyes of a blind person.
Maybe this seems like a good old guy, a stupid good guy, always introspecting himself, but that's not the case.
The blind man said that this was actually the wisdom of our ancestors, because in ancient times, we were equivalent to... a lighthouse country.
In this way, everything will be easier to understand.
The late Emperor Xiong once said that the Jing family can be worth a million soldiers.
Jing used the method of culture and education to tell the Shanyue people that everything about you is backward, while Da Chu is bright and advanced in all aspects, and then disintegrated the Shanyue people's sense of resistance and believed that the Chu people were here to help you. Farming, teaching you literacy, and teaching you etiquette are all for you to live a brighter life.
Therefore, we have forgotten that the vast land that the Chu people now occupy was actually plundered from your ancestors. We have also forgotten that many of the servants on the border are from you. We have also forgotten that next, the people who originally belonged to your tribe The mountains were annexed and occupied by the Chu nobles, and the rivers were occupied by Chu ships. If you want to eat, you have to work for the Chu nobles.
Of course, the premise of all this is that you have to be strong enough.
When you're strong enough, you can play the "Emperor's New Clothes" game to your heart's content.
Jing's success was also based on Da Chu's suppression of the Shanyue tribe. Because of the strength of the Chu army, his lies were more convincing.
Just like Fan Li,
He has a stupid mouth,
But when he raised his axe,
You will immediately feel that many of what he said make sense!
A negative example is Qian Guo.
The prosperity of culture and education in the Qian Kingdom can be regarded as the highest among the four major countries in the East.
But will the Yan people admire his culture?
There was a third prince who was like this, and then he died.
Even the people at the bottom of the Yan land look very disdainful when talking about the Qian Kingdom. When you can't fight and your army can't become strong, your culture is destined to not be exported.
The head of the Jing family had a sad smile on his face.
Road:
"Actually, I should have noticed it a long time ago, I really should have noticed it a long time ago, but unfortunately, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
Your Majesty,
He is truly a hero! "
The regent of Dachu was trapped in Yangcheng for many days by his sister-in-law, Ye Bo of Dayanping. As a result, many troops, officials, craftsmen, etc. were mobilized in the capital;
These transfers took place under the premise that the regent was trapped by the Yan army. It can be said that it was the most natural cover-up.
The ancestor of the Jing family said that the capital city of Ying has disappointed you Nanhou, because here, there are only scraps left, and there is no jade plate of delicacies to entertain guests from far away.
because,
The real essence,
To be precise,
It is the essence of what the Prince Regent himself considers,
It has already been transferred out.
The ancestor of the Jing family was already a mature figure, but at this moment, when he woke up from his dream, he had to be convinced by the regent's handiwork.
With the dignity of the emperor, he was surrounded by the enemy's army. When the enemy's tigers and wolves were outside the city, he could actually take this opportunity to control the capital city and carry out this strategy of concealing the enemy's power and preparing for a new start.
Clothes,
Really convinced.
The ancestor of the Jing family smiled "hehe" and said,
He raised his green snake crutch,
Road:
"Nanhou, you really don't have to come in, no, but you have to come in."
The ancestor of the Jing family raised his head,
shouted;
"The visitor is a guest. No matter what, I, the people of Chu, cannot possibly lose the etiquette of hospitality. It's a pity that I can only taste this dish of mine, Marquis Nan.
I don't know,
Can Nanhou give me a favor? "
"Get out."
King Jingnan said.
The knights of the Yan army in front immediately moved out of the way, and King Jingnan stepped forward slowly.
"Nan Hou, you can leave now before it's too late."
The ancestor of the Jing family said,
"It's destined to go away, why bother stepping on the charcoal basin again?"
"I came here just to throw a ball of sparks."
The ancestor of the Jing family nodded,
Road:
"Some people have discarded this dish like worn-out clogs. It's rare that you, Marquis Nan, are willing to taste it. This is my honor."
finished,
The ancestor of the Jing family lowered his head.
He said to the little granddaughter beside him;
"Come."
The girl looked at the mighty man in armor standing in front of her.
He opened his mouth and chanted:
"Recalling the past, our ancestors suffered; the emperor ordered us to be disciplined..."
This is a folk song from the Chu region, which was included in Chu music. It tells the story of the difficulties and hardships faced by the Marquis of Chu to open up the Chu region under the orders of the Great Xia Emperor.
Accompanied by the clear chanting voice of the girl,
The ancestor of the Jing family abducted the green snake and threw it to the ground.
The whole person slowly knelt down,
Like crying and singing:
"Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible. Although the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost hero..."
Suddenly,
A special rhythm flows out.
at this moment,
It was as if the city had resurrected in another form of life.
It has been sitting here for hundreds of years, and has gone through countless springs and autumns, watching reproduction, work and rest, development, and beauty;
It is a witness and a recorder.
Since ancient times, great poets have liked to sing about objects and express their aspirations, or use scenes to express their emotions. Putting aside the tendency to express sorrow in order to compose new words, in fact, there is really a type of people who can resist some of the basic principles. Communicate with souls that should not exist.
Tian Wujing stood there,
Despite its sight,
A group of men wearing Chudi robes with flowing hair on their temples appeared. They sang to their heart's content and drowned their sorrows with wine. They stepped on the blue brick table with their bare feet, dancing, cheering, and freely expressing their thoughts today. enthusiasm.
Some were reciting newly composed poems loudly, others were singing newly collected music, and some were more direct, beating the time with their jade pendants.
Rejoice in a happy place,
The jade pendant shattered and fell to the ground.
The wearer squatted on the ground and sobbed in distress, while the others laughed loudly and untied their accessories and handed them over.
Come again, come again,
Pick up, pick up,
Keep going!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!!!"
Huge stone monuments rise from the ground one after another. It is a custom in the Chu region that every time a new land is expanded, they must be engraved on the stone monuments to inform the gods of heaven and earth.
The ancestral temple in Chu is divided into three gates, the outer gate is used for sacrifices, and the second gate is used for royal ceremonies, such as the enthronement of a new emperor and the installation of a prince;
The deepest door,
Unless you have the merit of opening up new territories and expanding the territory, you are still not allowed to enter if you are a king!
The ancestors of the Xiong family knew that establishing a business was not easy, so they established this rule.
For this reason, for hundreds of years, the Chu people have maintained a great enthusiasm for foreign development, because every king did not want to be barred from entering the inner gate of the ancestral temple until his death, for fear that he would become a laughing stock.
The Chu land has many swamps and mountains. Before it was developed, it was actually a barren land. Sometimes, raising troops to fight the Shanyue people there for many years in order to occupy those places was actually a loss-making business.
But the Chu people were undoubtedly extremely greedy for land. What each generation of monarchs actually wanted was to occupy more and more new land, so that they could boast to their ancestors about the achievements of their descendants.
The aristocratic enfeoffment system is the most suitable political system for newly incorporated land management and external expansion.
at this time,
These huge stone monuments are the achievements of the Chu emperors in opening up the frontier.
At present, many densely populated and fertile lands in Dachu were barren and barren a hundred years ago. It was the forge ahead of our ancestors who overcame obstacles and forged ahead, which gave the Xia the foundation to settle down and live in this place.
On the stone tablet are engraved the names of the Chu emperors of that generation, as well as the names of nobles who made contributions to the pioneering war.
Dugu, Qu and Zhao appear most frequently;
The Jing family, which had no private soldiers, followed closely behind.
The first three families used military force to develop, while the Jing family used culture and education to conquer it.
Many people think that the four first-class nobles of Da Chu are all due to their ancestors, but in fact, over the past hundreds of years, they have all contributed greatly to Da Chu's foreign development.
On the stone tablet, in addition to the words, figures began to appear. They were very blurry, but they all seemed to be real.
The ancestor of the Jing family raised his hand,
shouted;
"Marquis Nanhou of Yan, do you dare to pick up chopsticks for this dish?"
This is not the art of a qigong practitioner.
Nor is it a swordsman’s sword,
It's not like a warrior's physique.
It is not Tao, let alone Dharma,
Rather, it is a belief that has existed before, exists now, has been in the past, and will still exist.
It does not belong to a religious sect, because no sect's altar table in the world is qualified to worship them.
It is not lethal,
Not even capable of trampling an ant to death,
but,
The premise is,
You ignore him,
Once you lift the chopsticks,
It's like pulling yourself into that situation,
You accepted the challenge,
Just face it head on.
This is a truly spectacular event!
The ancestor of the Jing family has read books, written words, and preached principles all his life. He is an old scholar, but at this moment, he unexpectedly suddenly came up with a sudden thunder.
Tian Wujing looked at the scene in front of him,
He can ignore everything else now,
Go up,
Kicked over the frail old man,
That girl will definitely be frightened and cry.
Thus,
Everything that appears in front of me at this moment is the flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water.
But before,
Tian Wujing had already shouted: Serve.
It was impossible for him not to mention chopsticks.
He stood there,
Put your hands behind your back,
In an instant,
got windy.
It seems that at this time,
Countless stone tablets, countless imprints, countless ancestors of Chu nobles, countless Chu songs and music, turned into a tsunami of landslides and earth-shattering, rushing towards him.
this city,
This imperial capital,
After easily defeating the imperial army outside the city,
How could King Jingnan of Dayan, who was the God of War, not be aware of the problem inside;
But he came in anyway,
Because there are some things,
He had to come in to do it.
The regent did not give him the capital on purpose, but because he had no other choice, he settled for the next best thing;
He threw it away, not because he didn't want it, but because he knew he couldn't keep it.
But regardless of whether you left it behind or you can’t keep it,
As the King of Jingnan of Dayan,
He must all come in,
Step on it.
He wants to trample all the Chu people's pride, Chu people's history, and Chu people's pride under his feet.
This time,
Even if Chu is not completely destroyed,
But the people of Chu who have lost their vitality and spirit,
In the future they will
What else can be used to fight against the rolling iron cavalry under the Black Dragon flag?
country,
It’s territory,
is the population,
It's the army,
It is a war horse, a weapon, an armor, a blacksmith, a river, and a mountain.
But its fundamental,
It is faith!
The ancestor of the Jing family laughed and said:
"Come on, Nanhou, I'm waiting for you to use your Dayan's heroic spirit of fighting the barbarians for hundreds of years to compete with the 800-year-old Chu magnificence.
Compare,
High and low! "
Tian Wujing shook his head,
He didn't intend to do that.
"No matter how glorious the past is, it is only the past after all."
Tian Wujing stood there,
continued:
"In my opinion, the emphasis on the past and the neglect of the present is just a matter of comfort for future generations who are weak.
Da Chu is 800 years old, it’s true;
Since the founding of the country, Dayan has fought against the barbarians in the East. The emperors of the past dynasties personally conquered the deserts, and the battlefields were stained with blood;
but,
It's all in the past.
What’s the point of comparing the past to the past?
People in this world should have the wisdom of the world, and those who have the wisdom of the world should have the courage of the world. "
……
Yanjing,
Back garden,
Emperor Yan, who was lying on the imperial couch, slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and he threw the book aside.
Wei Zhonghe, who was closing his eyes and concentrating while His Majesty was resting, immediately opened his eyes, squatted down, and picked up the book.
But he didn't dare to say a word loudly.
……
Beifeng County, in the courtyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Li Liangting sat on the armchair,
Below, kneeling were a group of newly surrendered barbarian leaders.
Suddenly,
These barbarian leaders discovered that
The Marquis, who was listening to their expressions of loyalty earlier, suddenly smiled.
……
Dachu, Yingdu, Yudao.
Next to King Jingnan, two more figures appeared.
One person, wearing black armor and holding a broadsword, had real unruliness in his eyes.
A man, dressed in a black dragon robe, with true majesty in his eyes.
You suppress me with countless people,
I blocked it with three people;
You use the ancients as a means of persecution,
I respond with contemporary;
When the ancestor of the Jing family saw this, his mouth immediately opened wide. He was shocked and shocked by what he was thinking about the Nanhou in front of him.
Chonggu, the ancient here refers to the ancestors;
And he,
And they,
I want to create a new pattern for myself,
They want themselves to be the true creators of the world.
I don’t worship any ancient people.
But my descendants will come to worship me.
This is a completely different belief,
Therefore, the person in front of me can destroy Manmen by himself.
Behind him, there is no way back, and what he is walking on is a new road.
The old ancestor of the Jing family was shocked, then stunned, then ridiculous, and finally, furious.
he roared:
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
A flush appeared on the face of the ancestor of the Jing family. He was able to stand up without relying on crutches. He pointed at King Jingnan standing in front of him.
shouted again;
“Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant!
I would like to ask,
your arrogance,
Why on earth! "
Tian Wujing took a step forward, and beside him, Emperor Yan and Zhenbei Hou also took a step forward.
At this time, the surrounding stone tablets, cultural texts, and heroic spirits were pressing in again.
Tian Wujing stretched out his hand,
Pointing at the furious ancestor of the Jing family in front of him,
Road:
"With this king, I have now entered the capital of Ying."
"puff!"
The ancestor of the Jing family spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned white immediately.
And after these words fell,
around,
All the illusions disappeared in the hysterical screams.
As if just now,
It's really just a daydream,
Not real, not real, and unfindable.
No matter how many reasons, no matter how much foreshadowing, no matter how brilliant you are, this sentence is enough to kill everything.
The ancestor of the Jing family could not say that even if the capital of Chu was destroyed, the great Chu would still be there.
"Relying on Dayan, going south to attack Qian is like entering an uninhabited country."
"With Dayan and a piece of edict, the barbarians dare not cross the border on horseback."
"With Dayan, we will fight twice in three years and annex the entire territory of the three Jin Dynasties."
"With the support of Great Yan, the whole country is attacking Chu, and now the iron hooves have entered your great capital of Chu."
Tian Wujing walked slowly to the front of the Jing family ancestor,
The girl from before had knelt down and started sobbing.
The ancestor of the Jing family raised his head with some confusion and difficulty.
Looking at King Jingnan,
Road:
"Haha... Actually, I lost a long time ago. If the king thought it was useful, he would not take me away, nor would he abandon this place."
Even his own lord has abandoned the rules, etiquette, and splendor of the past;
he,
What else can we fight for?
To argue what?
This is a duel that must be lost.
The result was determined early on, and it was my family who decided the outcome.
"Perhaps, the king is right. Da Chu needs a new life. Da Chu's totem is the fire phoenix. The phoenix is ​​supposed to achieve nirvana."
said,
The ancestor of the Jing family pointed at King Jingnan again and said with a smile:
"You can't destroy Chu. You, you can't destroy Chu. Da Chu will be resurrected."
King Jingnan squatted down,
Looking at this old man who has exhausted all his energy and even has returned to his original glory,
He didn't show any signs of embarrassment,
Because there is no need,
He is the winner,
The mercy of the victor is a kind of charity, and he does not want to give charity.
Therefore,
Faced with this Jing family ancestor’s curse before his death,
King Jingnan just responded calmly:
"My king, I am very free."
"Haha... well... how free are you?" The ancestor of the Jing family stared at King Jingnan, waiting for the answer.
"When you are free, meet once and destroy once."
The ancestor of the Jing family fell silent, and then his head hung down. Wenzong, the great Chu, passed away peacefully in the middle of the royal road, blocking Dayan's iron hoof.
“Grandpa…Grandpa…Grandpa, wake up…Grandpa, wake up.”
King Jingnan stood up and said,
He stepped over the old man's body and walked forward.
behind him,
The knights of the Jingnan Army followed.
No one paid attention to the old man's body in the middle of the royal road and the crying girl beside the body.
This is a conquered capital, and at the same time, it is also an abandoned capital.
its splendor,
After today,
Forever frozen in the past.
King Jingnan's eyes fell on the Dachu Palace, which was already in front.
There,
It is the pride of Dachu and the center of Dachu. It was the center of Dachu and the resting place of the ancestral temple of Dachu.
vaguely,
It seems that one can hear the melodious sound of the phoenix singing above the palace. In Da Chu, the fire phoenix has long been gone, but is that really the case?
Pixiu, who had been following King Jingnan, let out low roars from his throat.
King Jingnan stretched out his hand and placed it on its head.
Pixiu immediately became docile,
even,
He also stuck out his tongue and licked the prince's palm.
"Don't worry, it's almost his turn." -
