Chapter 49: The Sword Becomes Fish
When it comes to the ideas of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, Emperor Yan attaches the most importance to it, while other major dynasties don't seem to attach so much importance to it, in fact, this is extremely related to the cultural atmosphere of the major dynasties.
Although the major dynasties were all centralized, the cultural atmosphere of the major dynasties was very different. And the greatest impact on the cultural atmosphere of the major dynasties is the sect or sect with the highest status in each dynasty.
Although these sects or sects are not affiliated with the royal family, they have a deep relationship with the royal family. Moreover, the status in the hearts of the people is also the existence of the royal family, but these sects or sects are not directly involved in the affairs of the dynasty, and they have a bit of detachment and concentration on study.
For example, in the Great Yan Dynasty, the most noble is the Empty Academy. It is said that it was created by the sages who were empty, learned to be rich in five cars, and had the world in mind, and were the saints admired by the world.
Tracing back to the roots, the existence of the academy is much earlier than that of the Great Yan Dynasty, with the six arts of ritual, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and art, and the five permanent ideas of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are the foundation of its existence, and for thousands of years, these ideas have already penetrated into the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in Dayan.
And the previous generations of Great Yan Monarchs have basically been admitted to the academy to study, which has almost become an inevitable experience, otherwise it will be difficult to wait for the throne.
Both the academy and the royal family maintain a very friendly and respectful attitude, but objectively speaking, the assessment of the academy is basically not much different from the royal family and other ordinary people, they are all treated equally, and if they fail to pass the assessment, the prince cannot enter it to study.
The most respected person in the academy, the head of the academy, the responsibility of the dean, and the honorific title of master. Ordinary lecturers call it teaching, senior lecturers call it professor, and if you don't know whether the other party is teaching, professor, or master, you can call it Mr.
Regardless of whether it is a teacher, a professor or a master, if a student can gain his approval, he or she can worship under him and become a disciple of his own lineage, and his teacher is called his teacher.
Therefore, the teacher has exclusivity, although it is not said that a person can only worship one teacher, but generally speaking, the number of teachers should not be too much, and if you want to worship a new teacher, then you must also ask for the consent of the previous teacher, which is the way to respect the teacher.
It is also for this reason that when Emperor Yan proposed that the crown prince worship Qin Tian as a teacher, Qin Tian declined, hoping that the prince could strive to worship the master as a teacher, which would definitely be of great benefit to him.
Although Qin Tian thought that he could calm the world by following what Mr. Dongfang had learned, after all, his killing aura was too heavy and he was not suitable for the prince's teacher.
Emperor Yan also entered the academy to study when he was young, and his grades were relatively good, although he failed to worship his master, but he also worshipped a respected professor as a teacher, who was known to be polite and trustworthy, and was a rare benevolent monarch who loved the people, perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Mr. Dongfang asked Qin Tian to come to Emperor Yan to discuss the affairs of the world.
For another example, in the Tianchu Dynasty, there is also such a sect with a transcendent status, which is the Holy Sword Sect. Formerly known as Sword Sect, focusing on sword practice, swordsmanship is exquisite, once out of a powerful person, swordsmanship reached the peak, traveled in Kyushu, fought with the sword, and the masters of the major dynasties compared the sword, the whole world, no one is invincible, known as the sword saint by the world, so the descendants will change the sword sect to the holy sword sect.
Its status in Tianchu is no less than that of the academy in Dayan, which is extremely lofty, and if the prince of Tianchu can worship in the sect and practice swordsmanship, it will also be a great advantage for the crown prince.
As the eldest prince, Xiang Tianba loves tomahawks alone, but he is not good at swordsmanship, which is also an important reason why he was not elected as the crown prince.
The admiration of the Holy Sword Sect and the martial style of the Tianchu Dynasty are inseparable, and the situation of other major dynasties is similar.
However, except for the academy of Great Yan, the sects or sects respected by other major dynasties did not emphasize the importance of the five constants of the human being so much.
Therefore, the lords of the other major dynasties did not attach as much importance as Emperor Yan. So as soon as the war on this side ended, they came together to pit their former teammates, and they did it justifiably without any guilt.
The envoys of various countries lingered in Dayan for a long time, but in the end, Emperor Yan still decided not to forcibly form the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Once the Eight-Nation Coalition is formed, the coordination of various actions of the coalition of millions of people will be extremely complicated, and it will be difficult to unify opinions.
And fighting across borders, not to mention the laborious labor, it is also very easy to cause other rights and wrongs, such as the previous contradictions of the Western Xia army in the territory of Tianchu, as well as the conflict between the Ten Thousand Beasts and the Holy Sea army in the Southern Wilderness, etc., which are really unpredictable.
It is better for everyone to act in their own convenience, adapt measures to local conditions, command conveniently, and act effectively. Since Tianchu has angered the world, then the land of Tianchu should also be taken by the people of the world. And everyone can pocket it, it depends on their own ability.
I couldn't get a satisfactory answer from the Yan Emperor, and everyone didn't ignore that Great Yan also had a new star that shook Kyushu-the War King.
If you can make friends, you are naturally willing to do whatever it takes. But to their disappointment, the War King Yu did not show up inside the Tianding Mountain Range at all, and outsiders could not enter it, and in the end, everyone could only return in a huff.
Regarding Da Yan's attitude, the major dynasties are still more or less dissatisfied, but what about it? Who is saying that people are strong now?
It's not that the Seven Great Dynasties haven't thought about the Seven Nations Alliance, but for the momentum of the alliance, it's not something that can be connected by casually speaking.
Not to mention far, it is who is the leader of the alliance, and this matter will be difficult to solve. After all, no one has the strength to be absolutely stronger than other countries, how can they be the leader of the alliance? How to convince the public?
Thinking about the Eight-Nation Alliance organized by Tianchu at the beginning, it was Tianchu who invited everyone to come with him, and he was not elected as the leader of the alliance, so he could not coordinate and command the alliance in a unified manner.
Therefore, the Eight-Nation Coalition at that time, in fact, the most important thing was a name, and it was just a plate of loose sand. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been dismantled so easily. If the alliance had come with sincerity, would it have been dissolved on the spot because of some minor provocations and conflicts? It's not that everyone has their own ghosts, and their minds are not aligned.
Of course, non-alignment does not mean that Tianchu does not have a strong crisis. The envoys of various countries returned one after another, although the alliance was not successful, but it did not restrict everyone from attacking Tianchu.
At this time, Tianchu is like a water dog, it is a good opportunity for the dynasties that are eyeing each other to fall into the well, how can they miss it?
Because the two dynasties of Shenghai and Dongji did not border Tianchu and fought across borders, it was unrealistic, so they could only sigh and could not participate in it. And Hanfeng, Xixia, and Ten Thousand Beasts all have a large area of border with Tianchu, so naturally the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again.
Although Beirong and Nanhuang do not have such a large border, there are still a small number of areas that enter Tianchu without passing through other countries in the borderless areas separated by the moats. It's just that walking in the moat, it is extremely difficult to move.
But now it seems that Tianchu is like a piece of fatty barbecue, extremely tempting, where is the reason to give up because of difficulties?
As the saying goes, God rewards hard work, Beirong and Southern Wilderness, even if you overcome thorns and thorns, you have to get a piece of the pie.
In the past, he was like a sword, using soldiers everywhere, and the majestic Tianchu has now become a fish in the eyes of others, which can really be described as a hot and unpredictable world.
