Chapter 210: Hu Fu (Medium)
Oh, yes! If you want to take the road that no one has gone before, it does require great courage and courage. Although Zhao Jun saw the power of riding and archery and the benefits of Hufu. However, he also did not have the courage and confidence to create a path to the first in the world. He wasn't ready to bear the infamy behind him. The sage's clothing, open the right side, has been passed down for a long time. The Chinese princes also practiced this ritual system. This is the wisdom of the ancestors and the pride of the princes of the Central Plains. If someone suddenly breaks this iron law, then what awaits him, what consequences will there be, and how many people will resist. These things are unimaginable.
"What the sages of the ancestors are most afraid of. They are most afraid of that sincere and pioneering heart, which will be misunderstood by the world. If you fail, the direction of your previous efforts and the path you have traveled will be said to be worthless, and everyone will talk about you as stupid. People, the most afraid is not to miss out, but to be misunderstood by the person who missed it for a lifetime. No matter what you do, he will always be arrogant and say to you that you don't understand him at the root. The sage of the ancestors, since he has a pioneering and enterprising spirit, he is ready to fight and dedicate himself to it. However, they are afraid that they will not be able to turn a blind eye. When they die, they will be stepped on, and they will never be able to turn over, and they will be left with a stench for thousands of years. Zhao Yong's eyes looked confused, and he said to everyone: "The merits of the two ancestors of Jian and Xiang lie in seeking the benefits of Hu and Zhai. Today, the widow wants to emulate the industry of Jian and Xiang and open up the land of Hu and Zhai. Hu and Zhai are fierce, and we can't compare with them in riding and shooting. If the widow wants to plot Hu and Zhai, he must carry out mounted shooting. The widow wants to temper an iron horse that is more powerful than Hu and Zhai. The widow also has to implement Hu Fu, so that there is no distinction between Hu and Zhao in the territory of Zhao State. Only the widow can build merit. Walk in Hufu, push and ride. The stakes are high, and the widow needs the assistance of a competent minister. Feiyi, are you willing to help the widow? ”
"Ming filial piety, knowing the elders and young, being virtuous, helping the monarch and the people, and establishing meritorious deeds. This is the duty of a courtier. Fei Yi worshipped: "The minister's virtue is shallow, he is stupid, and he is willing to serve the king." ”
Zhao Yong took a breath and stabilized his mind, "The widow wants to wear Hufu and ride and shoot." And the people will talk about the widow and laugh at the widow. The widow does not have the firm mind of a saint, nor does he lack the courage to be fearless. A widow who walks alone on a road that leads to no other place is bound to feel lonely and afraid. Once they encounter setbacks, they do not have the confidence to go on. How the widow should be. ”
Fei Yi said: "Minister, I am willing to follow the king and move forward together." Right and wrong, honor and disgrace, the minister is willing to bear it with the king. ”
Everyone also said: "The same is true of the ministers, who are willing to serve the king." ”
Zhao Yong asked: "My country has the land of Changnan Domain, the danger of Zhang, Fu, and the Great Wall is built to prevent Wei from going north to Handan. The ancestors saw that they could not march into the Central Plains and went south to compete for hegemony among the princes, so they took Lin and Guo Wolf and defeated the Lin Hu people. Today, Zhongshan is located in the heart of our country, dividing the territory of our country and Handan. There are Yan and Donghu in the north of our country; There is Wei in the south; There are Qi and Zhongshan in the east; In the west, there are Lin Hu, Lou Fu, Qin and Han sides. If there is no reform and new efforts, and there is no strong army to defend the territory, the country will die sooner or later. If the husband has the name of a high son, he must be burdened by the world. What should we do? ”
In order to strengthen Zhao Jun's belief, Fei Yi said: "Your Excellency, the doubts are useless, and the doubts are nameless. The king is determined to be concerned about the legacy, so don't be afraid of being talked about and made fun of by the world. Those who are virtuous do not conform to the vulgar, and those who have achieved great success do not seek the public. When the gentleman saw the benefits of implementing Hufu and riding and shooting, he let go of his hand to implement it. ”
Tian Buli also said: "Your Majesty, I don't know that Emperor Shun once danced in the land of Sanmiao. Di Yu was in the land of Wu Yue, naked. Jiang Shang was divided between King Wu and Dongyi. Jiang Shang does not govern the country with etiquette, but with local customs. The hearts of the people of Dongyi are subdued by Jiang Qi, and the Duke of Qi Heng can respect the king and the world. A wise man always thinks about things that others dare not think. Do things that others don't dare to do. The reason why we miss the pioneers is because they dared to take the world first as their own responsibility and dared to abandon the spirit of the world. The monarch wants to reform the military system, ride and shoot, and push the beard. This is also what the pioneers did. ”
"The widow is not afraid to wear Hu clothes, and the widow is afraid of the ridicule of the world. The happiness of the ignorant is the sorrow of the wise. Zhao Yong said with a bitter expression: "You have great ambitions in the world, and you are committed to opening up a road that no one has walked before." It's not a great sadness that no one can understand you. ”
Fei Yi said excitedly: "What the fool laughs at, the sage sees." The king wants to be a sage, or a fool. ”
Zhao Yong said: "Of course the widow wants to be a sage. ”
Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, you have seen the benefits of Hufu riding and shooting, so what are your concerns." Jun Shang felt that it was the right thing to implement Hufu and practice riding and shooting. Why care about the eyes of the world. ”
Zhao Yong let out a heavy breath, "Zhongshan Wang Cuo governs the country with Confucianism, and Zhongshan is strong because of Confucianism, competing for hegemony among the princes. Zhongshan Wang Cuo will become the first person to learn the success of the country of clothes. The wisdom of Zhongshan Wangcuo will also last forever. However, if Zhongshan Wangcuo fails, it will be stinking for 10,000 years and ridiculed. ended up in such a sad end. The widow learns to ride and shoot the Hu people, promotes the Hu costume, and if he fails, he will be ruined. Those would laugh at the widow for not learning the advanced manners and systems of the clothed country, but for learning the way of life of the barbarians. The widow will also be regarded as a disgrace by the princes of the Central Plains, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever. The widow will also be ruined. Only the Hu people have always learned from us. The widow doubled the way and learned from the Hu people. Widows..."
"Zhongshan Wang Cuo dared to take the first step, and this determination and perseverance are what we need to learn." Fei Yi said: "Minister, I am willing to share the honor and disgrace with the king." ”
Everyone also said in unison: "The same is true of the ministers." ”
Zhao Yong saw that everyone in the hall supported him, and seeing that their eyes reflected a scorching light, his heart was also full of blood. No matter where Hu Fu rode and shot, he would lead Zhao Guo. He will also take this step with determination. Hufu cavalry and archery is not only a strategy for a rich country and a strong army that he has found. It placed hopes on many people, including himself. Zhao Yong faced everyone, his eyes gradually brightened and clear, and he swept away the gloomy look, "Today, the power of the iron horse, we can see it." The efficacy of Hufu riding and archery is immeasurable. Even if people in the world will look at the widow with strange eyes and make fun of the widow. The widow will also swear to die without regret and carry out the great cause of Hufu riding and shooting. Hudi and Zhongshan in northern Xinjiang, the widow is going to be decided. ”
The ministers bowed and said, "I am willing to serve the king." ”
Zhao Yong hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to implement Hufu cavalry and archery to defend the territory of Zhao. His decision will lead to the reform of the Central Plains. The princes of the Central Plains will welcome new troops... The era of the Iron Rider will come. Zhao Yong didn't think about what kind of resistance would be encountered when he carried out Hufu cavalry shooting. Where it will lead the country of Zhao. Since you have decided to do something, you must firmly implement it. Even if he is ridiculed by the world. Even if it is a stench for 10,000 years, he has to implement Hufu riding and shooting.
……
Back in Handan, Zhao Yong plucked up the courage to look like a scholar Hu Ren, personally put on Hu clothes, and handled state affairs in Congtai Palace. A small step taken by Zhao Yong will lead the reform of the Central Plains and become a big step for society. However, what Zhao Yong did not expect, his act of wearing Hu Yi caused a panic and rejection in Congtai Palace. Many people couldn't believe that the king would wear the clothes of the Hu people. He didn't believe that what his eyes saw could be real. The minister of Handan scolded Zhao Jun for not knowing how to make progress and violating the law of his ancestors. These people came up with the dogma of etiquette in a vain attempt to force Zhao Jun to stop this absurd and ridiculous behavior.
While accepting the abuse from the minister of Handan, Zhao Yong carefully enlightened everyone and talked about the benefits of Hufu. However, the ministers simply ignored Zhao Jun's intentions. Fei Yi, Tian Buli and others were also accused of provoking the king.
Seeing such an absurd behavior of the king, the prince of Kou, the most vocal member of the Zhao family, left the hall directly and refused to go to court. and secretly contacted the courtiers and put pressure on Zhao Jun together. The situation of Zhao suddenly fell into chaos, and the situation was more complicated than Zhao Yong imagined. However, his will to carry out Hufu cavalry and archery has never wavered for half a minute. He had been pondering how to let these people know the benefits of Hufu riding and shooting. Zhao Yong also knew that these people couldn't accept Hufu for a while, but he still sent a lot of ministers who supported Hufu to do ideological work to those who opposed it. Zhao Yong also understood that if he wanted to talk about the people of the clan, he should participate in it. The first person he wanted to convince was the great priest Gongzi Cheng.
Seeing the voice of opposition, the Sima Wang clan rose wave after wave, "Your Majesty, in the current situation, we might as well ..."
Zhao Yong knew what he wanted to express, and truncated: "The widow has made up his mind, and it is bound to carry out Hufu cavalry shooting." Wang, in the face of the huge pressure of the minister, the widow's will is not firm, and he can't withstand it. Thou shalt exhort the widow, and remind the widow at all times. This time, the widow will not back down. ”
Sima Wangzu said solemnly: "Oh." ”
Zhao Yong sent an envoy to Gongzicheng's mansion to strictly explain the benefits of Hufu. However, the envoy Gongzicheng's mansion did not enter, let alone meet Gongzi himself. Zhao Yong did not scold the ambassador for doing things badly, he held back his anger, returned to the harem, and scolded: "This old man is against the widow everywhere. ”
Meng Yao saw that Zhao Jun was angry and asked, "Who provoked you?" Angry so much. ”
Zhao Yong scolded: "Who else can there be besides him." ”
Meng Yao said: "You! How can you scold your uncle for being an old horseman. ”
Zhao Yong replied: "What's wrong with me scolding him." Although he is my uncle, I have issued every decree. He will oppose it, and check and balance me everywhere. If he is really my uncle, he should be obedient to my heart. ”
Seeing that he was angry, Meng Yao asked, "This time, how did my uncle provoke you?" It's so exciting. ”
"Don't call him uncle, call him an old horseman."
"Okay." Meng Yao sneered: "How did the old puppet provoke you." ”
"I pushed Hufu to ride and shoot, and he actually said that he was sick. Contact the Minister and put pressure on me. You say it's hateful, it's not hateful. ”
"Perhaps, he is really sick."
"He's not sick. He's playing tricks on me and forcing me to back down. ”
Meng Yao smiled: "It turns out that you want to promote Hufu, but he doesn't agree!" You don't have to be angry about this little thing. ”
"You can still laugh." Zhao Yong said angrily: "How can this be a trivial matter. ”
"Okay, it's a big deal." Meng Yao saw that her husband was so childish, and asked, "Husband, what do you think is right and what is wrong?" What is the difference between right and wrong. ”
"Right and wrong are different from person to person, and there are no strict boundaries." Zhao Yong's anger gradually subsided, "Most people say that you are wrong, but it is not necessarily wrong. Most people say you're right, but not necessarily right. So there is no such thing as right or wrong. ”
Meng Yao blinked his eyelashes and asked, "What you think is right is not necessarily right in the eyes of others." What you think is wrong is not necessarily wrong in the eyes of others. Husband, is that what you mean? ”
"Yes."
"The Central Plains is a ceremonial state, a country of crowns and belts. The state of Zhao belongs to the Central Plains and is also the country of etiquette. The husband is the king of etiquette. The husband suddenly wore a bearded costume to the court, and when the minister saw it, of course he had to boycott it! Husband, are you wrong, or is the minister wrong? Seeing that he didn't speak, Meng Yao continued: "If the husband entered the court wearing a Hu suit, the ministers would not react. It's not a good thing for my husband. Where there is support, there will be opposition. Only when the two argue will we know who is right and who is wrong. Since the husband insists that his idea is right, why not tell his idea to the person who said it wrong. You are a king, and you should reasonably listen to the opposing opinions of others, instead of using the authority of the king to force others to listen to your opinions. ”
Zhao Yong snorted and said, "If you say so, it's not mine." Thou art my husband, and to whom thou wilt thou go? ”
"I don't want anyone, but I have to tell a reason in everything. I know that you have the world in mind and are committed to enriching the country and strengthening the army. But the world doesn't know what you think. Although you have empty ambitions, the people of the world do not understand you, oppose you, and do not support you. What's the point of that? Husband, you should do things slowly, and you shouldn't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes. Meng Yao saw that he listened to what he said, and said, "It's a big time to wear Hufu." What about you? You should also consult with the old man beforehand. If you take the king's order, I will not accept it. ”
"What should I do?"
"Go see the old horseman."
"The old man is angry and won't see me."
"He can't see you, you can see him!"
"I went to see him, dreaming, I couldn't do it."
"If you want to implement Hufu, you have to go and see the old man in person. The old horseman does not support you, and your resistance is great. You can't even pass the old puppet. How to talk about Hu clothes and customs, how to talk about riding and archery to make the country strong. When will you be able to achieve the great ambition in your heart? ”
