Chapter 368 [Who is the Lord of Ups and Downs?] 】
Some of the old courtiers couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.
When they were young, they were not afraid of the powerful, and repeatedly wrote books to accuse the corrupt acts of the traitorous party ministers of the DPRK and China. The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Xuan. Pointing out the country, inspiring words, and dung was the marquis of ten thousand households back then".
At that time, they were deeply influenced by Confucius and Mencius's thoughts, "reaching the world and helping the world" and "although tens of millions of people have gone to me", they were full of idealism, extremely dissatisfied with reality, and wholeheartedly wanted to transform the world, but unexpectedly, the world was getting worse and worse, and as their status became higher and higher, they became more and more compromised with reality, and their political ideals became farther and farther away.
They looked at Wei Yan with satisfaction, he was still young, and he still had the ideals, courage and sharpness to transform the world, unlike them old bureaucrats, who were in their twilight and gradually succumbed to the interests of their families or compromised with other families, forgetting the interests of the entire Han people.
"Ask the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs?!" After lamenting that they had forgotten the ideals of their youth in their twilight, they suddenly remembered the biggest surprise when they heard this poem: "Lord, I don't know what this sentence means? It's easy to suspect that Wei Yan has great ambitions.
"Who is the true master of the vast expanse of the earth, who is the master of your destiny? Zhugong, and look at the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States and Qin, all kinds of ups and downs, one after another. Wei Yan put on a philosophical look: "In the dark, is there really someone who dominates the ups and downs of this world?" ”
"Well, who knows." They were speechless.
After a long time, someone replied leisurely: "You have told us before, we can learn from history, we can know the rise and fall, although we don't know what is dominating all these ups and downs, but we can learn from history, try our best to do our part, let the prosperity last a little, let the decline come a little later." ”
More than a thousand years later, Niu Ren has spent his whole life answering questions that he can't answer correctly, and Wei Yan doesn't expect these people to be able to answer them correctly.
Wei Yan himself was crossing the river by feeling the stones, hoping to bring this nation out of that strange cycle of rise and fall, as for whether it would succeed in the end, he didn't know.
Wei Yan thought that every time there is a change of dynasty, there will always be decades of bloody rain on the land of China, every time at the cost of the death of tens of millions of Han people, in exchange for the birth of a new dynasty, the new dynasty began for decades, only to slowly recover from the war of changing dynasties, after decades of prosperity, it began to decline for decades, followed by decades of frequent wars, and a new round of recurrence, from the Han, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, not to mention the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing dynasties, At that time, the Han people were strictly just slaves in the dead country.
Among them, the most suffocating sigh is the 400 years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Sui Dynasty. During these 400 years, the territory of the Han people was divided, and more than half of the territory was occupied by the Hu people, and countless Han people were slaughtered by the Hu people like cattle and sheep.
Compared with other wars that changed dynasties, the culprit of these 400 years of war is not only the incompetence of the Liu Han royal family, but also the decay of the family class.
Aren't the second-generation children of the privileged second generation who are more and more arrogant and more comfortable in later generations a copy of the children of the current family?
Before the crossing, he was just a **, and he could only watch those privileged classes ride on the head of the grassroots**, and when he came to this era, could he bear to watch the four hundred years of chaos repeat itself? Can he bear to see his compatriots slaughtered like cattle and sheep by those Hu people?
The struggle with the children of the family is not only related to his own vital interests, but also to the life and death of the entire Han nation, so he can not retreat, can not relax, although for the time being, he still needs to use those children of the family to kill other opponents for himself, but his determination to eradicate and eliminate the family will not waver, 50 years will not waver, 100 years will not waver.
Perhaps, when all the people of the Han Dynasty have knowledge, have thoughts, and are no longer so subservient, can think about the future of the entire nation from the issue of personal interests, and have the ability to participate in the discussion of the democratic system, this strange circle can be broken, and the Han nation will not have to change the dynasty and the internal friction of the land and the air, and will not have to repeatedly bleed and hurt the muscles and bones, nor will it have to be bullied for thousands of years until it finally falls to the point of being oppressed to death by those barbarian ghosts and ghosts that they have always despised.
Wei Yan fell into deep thought, and suddenly a white and tender little hand waved in front of his eyes: "General, wake up!" ”
Wei Yan woke up from the state of a thinker and found that everyone present was looking at him with admiration.
Xu Shu smiled and asked, "Lord, have you come up with it?" What is it that dominates the ups and downs? ”
"I have a little clue," Wei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "But my opinion may be disagreed by the world, lest the public here will not hear it." ”
When Wei Yan said this, it aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and he said in unison: "Lord, just say it quickly, if you don't say it, how will you know that your words are not in our ears?" ”
"Then I'll say it," Wei Yan said in a deep voice, "It's not you, it's not me, it's not anyone here who dominates the ups and downs!" ”
Everyone thought he was going to show his ambitions, but who knew that he had denied himself, and after breathing a sigh of relief, his heart was pinched again, and he hurriedly asked. "Who the hell is that?!"
Wei Yan pointed to the servants who were cleaning in front of you: "It's them, they are the ones who occupy ninety percent of the people of the Han Dynasty!" ”
"Ahh Everyone was astonished and said, "My lord, they are just slaves, tenants, and yeoman farmers, so what power do they have to stir up storms and waves?" ”
"Don't underestimate these grassroots-like civilian pariahs, although they don't know how to write and ink and have no weapons, they look weak and bullied," Wei Yan said this, unable to hide the excitement in his heart, and suddenly walked to the middle of the high pavilion, and said loudly: "But the power they have united is as vast as a river, who can stop it!"
is as strong as a violent Qin, wasn't it also overturned by the rebellion frenzy set off by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?
is as great as Gaozu, isn't it also followed by Chen Sheng and Wu Guangcai to lay down the Han Dynasty?
is as strong as a new reckless, isn't it also beaten by the peasant rebels such as Red Eyebrows?
Great as Guangwu, isn't it also followed by the red eyebrows to rise the big man?
It was the Yellow Turban Uprising of the horned traitors, how could we have been completely shattered, weren't Zhang Yan in Montenegro and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong all active unscrupulously everywhere? ”
