Chapter 406: Interpretation of Loyalty
After listening to Dong Wan's words, Xiahou Chong gradually sobered up from that fanatical mood, and he said: "Guan Gong is indeed a loyal hero, but unfortunately we are in a hostile camp and are destined to have no chance in this life.
How could Xiahou do something against his lord in order to see him. If a certain person does such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing, how can he go to see Guan Gong? Alas! That's it, let's not talk about this anymore, you don't need to persuade anymore, you won't betray Dawei no matter what. ”
When Dong Wan heard his refusal, he didn't care, and continued: "General Xiahou is worthy of being a loyal and righteous person, but I don't know if the general knows what "loyalty" is? How should the word "loyalty" be interpreted? ”
Hearing Dong Wan's words, Xiahou Chong's face was swollen and red as if he had been greatly insulted, and he said angrily: "What does General Dong mean by this? Xiahou has always taken loyalty as the norm of action~ and has never done anything sorry for Wei and His Majesty, and has always been loyal and diligent to serve the court, and Xiahou's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. It's really annoying that Master Dong doubts XX's loyalty. ”
Dong Wan stroked the beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "General Xiahou, don't worry, Dong is not doubting the general's loyalty, on the contrary, Dong feels that the general is definitely a loyal person, but Dong feels that the general's interpretation of the word loyalty is biased." ”
"Humph! Loyalty is to be loyal to one's own monarch, to share worries for the monarch wholeheartedly, and to do everything well for the lord, so that the lord has nothing to worry about, what else is there to interpret. The so-called 'those who are ministers, the king worries about the ministers, and the king humiliates the ministers and dies.' That's it. ”
"Bang bang." Dong Wan clapped his palms and exclaimed: "Yes, General Xiahou is really a loyal person, and his interpretation of the word loyalty is simply three points." It seems that the general's loyalty is on par with Guan Gong. But alas, the general got the object of his allegiance wrong. ”
Xiahou Chong was very happy to hear Dong Wan's praise at first, and a smile appeared on his face, especially when he heard him compare himself with Guan Gong, his face was even more colorful, but when he heard the second half, the expression on his face froze there, and he said angrily: "Xiahou, as a minister of Wei, is of course loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of Wei and the Wei court, how can this be mistaken?" ”
"Hehehehe, no, no, Cao Pi is not the true son of heaven, he is just a usurper and a traitor. General Xiahou is loyal to him to be loyal to the traitor. It's like going in the opposite direction, the faster the carriage goes, the farther it is from its destination.
The more loyal you are to him, the more you will be able to stand up for your rebellious name. General Xiahou's loyalty is comparable to that of Guan Gong, but unfortunately, after thousands of years, Guan Gong will become a loyal candidate praised by everyone, and General Xiahou, you, will become a notorious rebel who makes accounts for the tiger. ”
"What! , nonsense! Xiahou Chong's voice raised an octave, his eyes widened, and he slapped on the low table, splitting the low table in pieces. The dwarf table carried in this kind of march is mainly characterized by lightness, but the sturdiness is unsatisfactory, and it was slapped down by Xiahou Chong, who has martial arts, with an angry palm, and immediately came to a comminuted fracture.
Dong Wan continued to ignore Xiahou Chong's anger, and continued to say slowly: "This truth is actually very simple, in fact, General Xiahou can understand it if you think about it. Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, loyalty to the country, this is what every good man should do, and it is also a thing that can last for centuries. However, being loyal to the traitor, helping the rebel to launch a rebellion, and harming the world will naturally be left behind for 10,000 years. ”
Listening to Dong Wan's words, Xiahou Chong did not answer immediately, he sat down slowly, his face was very calm, but the trembling hands and the chaotic eyes violently~ revealed the uneasiness in his heart. Dong Wan didn't rush him, and waited quietly on the side, he knew that this unheard information needed to be given some time for him to digest slowly. When I first heard these remarks, did it take a long time to figure it out?
After a long time, Xiahou Chong muttered: "But, who is the true son of heaven?" You can't just run someone out and say that he is the true son of heaven, he is the real son of heaven, right? ”
"Hehe, does this still have a headache? Emperor Jianxing of the Han Dynasty is the true son of heaven. The self-proclaimed true Son of Heaven is all fake, only Emperor Jianxing is real, and only he is the real emperor who inherited the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. ”
"No, in the past, Taizu, Liu Bei and Na Sun Quan each laid down one-third of the country, Liu Chan inherited one-third of Liu Bei's country, and His Majesty inherited one-third from Taizu, and the Three Kingdoms have been established since then. If you want to say that Liu Chan is the true son of heaven, then my majesty of Dawei is also the true son of heaven, after all, there is actually no difference between them. Xiahou was puzzled.
"The difference is big, as the saying goes, there are no two heavens and no two people, although the world is big, how can there be three true sons? General Xiahou, think about it carefully, which family does this huge world belong to? Dong visited the old god and asked on the spot.
"This, of course, this world was the world of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Emperor had no way, so that the dynasty collapsed, the people were not able to make a living, and even the world was in chaos. The Liu and Han royal families had long lost the hearts of the people and the heart of heaven, which finally led to the fall of the Han Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu came into being. ”
"Hehe, General Xiahou, your first sentence is right, this world is Liu Han's world, and the national Zuo has lasted for four hundred years, and Liu Han's world has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But you are not right later, the Han Dynasty never perished. It's just a temporary downturn. And this has happened in history.
At that time, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, which lasted for 16 years, and finally Emperor Shizu (Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu) did not restore the Han Dynasty as it was, so that the national glory of the Han Dynasty continued for another 200 years. The situation is very similar to then.
The Taizu you just mentioned refers to Cao Mengde, but Cao Mengde was originally only the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and later he was only named the king of Wei at most, and he himself was not called the emperor. His name as Taizu was posthumously sealed by Cao Pi, but in fact, the name does not match his truth.
And Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty for a few years, and he was far worse than Wang Mang. In that year, Cao Pi deposed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Zhaolie, who was far away in Yizhou, immediately ascended the throne as emperor, continuing the national glory of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the old man said that the Han Dynasty did not fall.
After listening to this history, I believe that General Xiahou should understand that Emperor Zhaolie and the current Emperor Jianxing are the orthodox of the Han Dynasty and the true son of heaven, while Cao Pi and Sun Quan are just chaotic ministers and thieves, vainly trying to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos and seek to seize the country of the Han Dynasty.
However, this is all temporary, Wang Mang has been in turmoil for 16 years, and the Han Dynasty can still be restored, not to mention that Cao Pi has only usurped the Han for three or five years, and he can't become a climate. Now that the saints have descended from heaven and begun to clean up the rivers and mountains, can't you see it? The current Emperor Jianxing is the same as the Emperor Shizu back then, he is the true son of heaven sent down by God to revive the Han Dynasty. ”
