Chapter 152

When Sun Jie heard this, his heart shook violently, his legs trembled like chaff, if he hadn't been bound, he wouldn't have the strength to stand at this moment, and he was even more powerless to maintain his demeanor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He knew that Xu Pan had a reckless personality, and he often acted without considering the consequences, and the other party said that if he didn't surrender, he would die, which was definitely not a joke. Although he was a little unwilling to surrender so hastily and couldn't get more names, under the threat of death, Sun Jie trembled for a long time before he nodded to Xu Pan hesitantly.

Seeing this, Xu Pan pulled out the ring head knife and said sarcastically: "That's right!" ”

Even if Sun Jie had a similar heart, when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he felt a little resentful in his heart, and felt that he had been humiliated.

The Great Qi family controlled the government, influenced and even manipulated the abolition for nearly a hundred years, the imperial power was weakened step by step, and the emperor was almost a puppet stamp. Even if the power is as clever as the first emperor and has fought with the family for a lifetime, at most, it will be a temporary check and balance, and after all, it will not be able to make the real surname of the anointed rice hurt. When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the world is in chaos, and it is even more impossible.

The family with power has no idea of loyalty to the king, and they are also aware of their various behaviors, so they really can't talk about the word "loyalty". The greed of the human heart is never-ending to a certain extent, and after holding the power, the heart is thinking about how to leave a good reputation.

These people know in their hearts that their behavior is really not a single word of "loyalty", and a large set of Confucian quite perfect doctrines naturally cannot be of much use, so they will be squeezed out so badly by metaphysics and Buddhism. However, in the end, Confucianism has also been passed down for hundreds of years as orthodoxy, and the degree of penetration in the hearts of the people is not comparable to that of the emerging metaphysics. Even now, many metaphysics masters also study Confucianism, and they are very successful in this regard.

Because of this, after thinking about it a few times, the capable people of the family came up with a compromise method - we are never loyal to the king for our own interests, and there is no need to talk about "loyalty", it is always okay to talk about "filial piety", right? From this point of view, Sun Jie's surrender is normal and typical, at most he will be gossiped about one or two sentences, but no one will really talk about it. However, the family vigorously preaches filial piety, but does not agree with foolish filial piety, and many well-known children in the family are "famous and romantic" and "informal", which plays an extremely bad leading role. As a result, in the eyes of the people and the Han people, "loyalty" still occupies a lot of weight, even if you really don't want to be loyal, you have to make such a face or two.

In Sun Jie's view, if the Shangdang Xu clan wants to control Qi County, they have to rely on him as the county order, after all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! According to his thoughts, Xu Pan and Xu Heng should be persuaded to surrender several times, Corporal Lixian, so that he can push the boat down the river and respond to it. In this way, his reputation has been greatly improved, not to mention, and his face has been earned, but who would have thought that Xu Pan, a famous son-in-law, would not follow the rules at all?

Xu Pan couldn't see Sun Jie's thoughts, he just simply hated the other party's behavior, so he acted like this, but it didn't mean that Xu Hui and Xu Heng couldn't see it. But their two brothers and sisters are all arrogant and arrogant, and their eyes are above the top, they can be looked at by them, and they can really make friends under the knots, if it is not Su Can, Liu Zhan, Lu Jue and other talented people, or Qi Fang is a person with high character, no matter what, it is not the turn of a hypocrite like Sun Jie. It was Xu Heng who pursed his lips unremittingly, turned his head sideways, and said to his sister: "It is said that the northern land is well-dressed and literate, and it has moved to the south forty percent, and it has been destroyed by the Hu people fifty percent and a half. I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but the north once occupied the world's Zhonglin Yuxiu, even if it was destroyed by the war, there were many celebrities and real people, but I never thought ......"

Speaking of this, he showed a cold and indescribable smile with irony, obviously looking down on Sun Jie's style, but because of his upbringing, he didn't say the second half of the sentence clearly, but Xu Hui was touched, and said thoughtfully: "Over the years, there have indeed been many famous people in the north, but the slightly inferior scholars and the Han clan who have no way to be promoted have indeed ruined most of them." The one under me was also a rare talent of the Han clan, but he was so unsightly by life. It's no wonder that more than 50 years ago, the Jiangnan people, who were still barbarians, now laughed at our northerners for being vulgar and not knowing how to be polite......"

Xu Heng has always had a high heart, and when he heard his sister's words, he snorted coldly, and only said: "We northerners, which is worse than them southerners?" If this is the case, why is the surname Qiao still higher than the surname Wu? has only been in Jiangnan for a few decades, and he compares himself to Jiangnan people, and he is proud of the northland county, and I really don't know what these people think. ”

Regarding Xu Heng's comments, Xu Hui had some left ears in and out of her right ear, because what she thought in her heart was precisely what Xu Heng had just lured out by his words, which touched a lot of hearts.

She grew up in the Northland, and stayed in Jiankang's inner circle for a few years, so she naturally knew that although there were more celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River than in the Northland, if she really talked about her ability, no one could surpass anyone, after all, the people in Yingchuan and other counties were also people from the Northland. But why are the southerners so arrogant and conceited, and when they hear about being treated, they show contempt or pride, and only feel that the other party is far inferior to themselves? You must know that a few decades ago, when the royal family and the family did not move south, in addition to the three counties of Wudi and the surrounding counties were more prosperous, the vast land of thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River did not have many people, and it was extremely desolate. If this were not the case, how could the people who had fled in the north live so quickly and not fight for a place to live?

In just 50 years, why has there been such a big change, resulting in a decline in the literary style of the north and the south? Without him, the northern land of Guy was ravaged by the Hu people's war, and the power was slightly weaker, and the families who couldn't get the news, as well as the Han people who couldn't get the news, didn't have time to escape in advance, and they were killed and caught by the Hu people like wolves and tigers. However, these people seem to have little power and are not worth mentioning, but they are the backbone of the "scholars", and the number of them is far from being comparable to that of the high-ranking families.

Most of the Hu people plundered gold and silver, smashed and destroyed antique utensils, and many books were burned in a fire, and they killed many people who were literate and hyphenated in the north, resulting in a very serious break in the cultural inheritance of the north. Many of them are still stranded in the north, not invaded by the war, and the high-ranking families who have retained their inheritance can still teach their children and grandchildren to read and learn words, resulting in the number and ability of the famous people in the north are not inferior to the famous people in the south. But compared to the low-level scholars and Han scholars who like to call friends and make friends in the market, teahouses and even singing and dancing workshops, the southern students don't know how many students from the north have left off - most of the Han people in the north want to study, most of them have to go to Yingchuan, but although there are many Confucians in Yingchuan, there are not many people who really accept the disciples of the Han tribe, and the number is very limited. Even if in terms of quality, the two are half a catty, but the quantity can be ...... Northland students are really pitiful.

Xu Hui is a very smart and sensitive person, good at drawing inferences, after she noticed this matter, she linked it to herself, only to feel that the future seemed to open another door to her, facing a bright and smooth road.

She knew in her heart that except for Su Can and Liu Zhan, who were stimulated by their own experiences and were a little cynical and unpredictable, most of the people who were really capable would not choose to be absolutely loyal to themselves, after all, they had better choices and did not have to succumb to a woman.

Xu Hui is well aware of his weaknesses, and has been focusing on how to develop and grow himself and attract more talents to join him, but he is worried that he is too ostentatious and ostentatious, which will arouse the dissatisfaction and jealousy of his father and brother, so he is worried in every possible way, weighing the two sides, but he can't make a decision for a long time, and he doesn't know what to do. But now, Xu Heng's casual words woke her up, making her think that she doesn't have to include those peerless talents who are not born in the world, but just need to encompass those people with mediocre talents without a trace, who will not be sharp enough to attract attention, and even dim enough to be ignored, but who are very steady and steady.

These people are not obvious, but they are all distributed at the grassroots level, weaving a fine and dense net, as long as they are used well, they are enough to subvert everything. After all, no matter how talented a person has and the courage to guide the country, as long as he is lonely, and no one under him listens to his command, even if he is talented, it is empty talk. Of course, special talents like Su Qin and Zhang Yi are a different matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Hui glanced at Xu Heng with some weakness, and comforted himself in his heart: "I don't want to take the position of elder brother, nor can I use the body of a woman to seek the orthodox status of the eldest son and grandson." The reason why I acted like this was just because I was afraid that the world would change in time and something unpredictable would happen. For self-protection, you always have to leave one or two points and deduct one or two hole cards. ”

Thinking about it like this, her heart felt much better, and even brought a hint of peace of mind. After all, there are too many things to be afraid of brothers and sisters for power, to punish brothers and sisters in order to please their lovers, and even to execute brothers and sisters for their children, so that Xu Hui is tired of seeing them. Even if she and Xu Heng have an extremely close relationship now, who can say what will happen in the future? No matter how deep the relationship is, you can't sleep on a quilt when you grow up, and you can be truly intimate.

People's hearts are inherently distant and close, Xu Hui compares her heart to her heart, if she has a child and has a conflict with her family, she will naturally favor the child; If a sibling quarrels with him/herself, he will feel unhappy. If you wholeheartedly pin your hope on "the same feelings", it is better to directly wipe the neck with the most enjoyable. Who makes the dead the least threatening, and the most perfect in the hearts of the living? (To be continued.) )
