Chapter 61: "Cross-Strait and Three Places"
The atmosphere in the study room is as stagnant as ever, and there is a tendency to deepen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It would feel bad, so Turansen decided to change the way he was elaborating and he wanted to liven up the atmosphere a little bit. So, shrugging his shoulders, sagging his eyebrows, and smiling funny, he said to Ye Guyun: "I think, when I say this, you must have been able to guess many things, such as the origin or something......"
Ye Guyun raised his eyebrows, looked up at the political adviser, and replied in a flat tone: "Well, a conflict of interests." ”
Everyone else was stunned.
Turansen shook his head and smiled bitterly, he said: "I thought you would say that it was a contradiction in the system, a confrontation of ideas or something, but... Ah, the conflict of interests, this is the deepest reason! Blameless! Really he X is justified!"
"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. I don't know how the translation gem will be interpreted, but Ye Guyun still said this famous sentence of the old ancestor by himself, he just felt it, but seeing the reaction of everyone who was shocked after hearing it, he knew that he was invisibly pretending to be something - and this type is the most deadly.
Sighing, Turanson gave two thumbs up and said solemnly, "Deep!
The corners of Ye Guyun's mouth twitched, and it took a lot of effort to finally press the absurdity in his heart, he waved his hand, wanting to reveal this topic, but he never thought about it, and as soon as the words came out, he was full of X: "Okay, please continue! I'm not here to listen to your praise......"
"I'm X! this whole ......"
“...... I'm curious, how could your Father of the Nation, the righteous embodiment of hatred of the aristocracy, allow your family and the Crescent Dominion to exist?"
"That's because of our merits. It was not Turanson who answered him, but the Grand Duke, "The Ehilon family has never been a corrupt aristocracy. ”
It turned out that during the War of Resistance and the Ashlons, they did not do everything they could without discipline like most nobles. On the contrary, their performance was exemplary "worthy of the name of nobility" (Easter), "heroic, glorious, loyal, faithful", "faithful to duty and full of conscience". They held fast to their territory and persisted in resisting, generously took in a huge number of displaced people to save their lives from misery, and prepared batches of supplies to support the resistance movement in various places......
Later, during the civil war, the Ashlen family did not stand on the wrong side, but strictly maintained neutrality, and did not help each other...
In short, the performance of the Ashylon family during the two wars is definitely magnificent, and it does not belong to the list of evil nobles who must be defeated. Of course, you can also say that they don't actually have such a high level of consciousness, but they just take advantage of the geographical advantage, so they can sit still like a mountain, watch the fire from the other side, and silently sit and reap the benefits. But in any case, the facts are ready-made, they are there, no one can change them, what they do is what they do, and what they don't do is what they don't do, and we can't convict others of evil deeds that have not yet been committed just because of class likes and dislikes, nor can we unjustifiably erase the merits of others that have been truly established!
“...... His Excellency Esther is a noble man, a just man, a perfect man!" The Grand Duke's tone was full of admiration, and his eyes were full of strong remembrance, "I worship him, the people of the New Moon City worship him, the people of the Republic of Gretels worship him, and probably the people of the whole continent worship him! Holy people. ”
"Wow!holy!What a high evaluation!" Ye Guyun's face was expressionless, "In this way, it is just that he retains all your original rights?"
"Yes. "The Grand Duke said.
"Oh?"
"You know, because of the crimes committed by the old aristocracy, the whole country had a deep disgust with the privileged classes, and the cries for the extermination of all the nobles came one after another...... The kind of situation that Qianfu refers to, that kind of trembling, that kind of uneasiness, I think you can also imagine. In the midst of all the turmoil, Lord Easter remained steadfast in his faith and did not violate justice, and was determined to hold an impartial public trial on the subject of nobility in front of the temple of Tyre in the capital, in accordance with the newly adopted Law of the Republic! Turanson explained.
Ye Guyun just sneered and was silent.
"Uh, is there anything wrong with what I said?" said Turanson's eyes.
"No, that's right. Ye Guyun shook his head, and then said playfully, "Now, I already know what kind of pressure you are facing. That's ideas, systems, culture... The pressure from values will subvert your rule, but you can't find a way to counter it, and even subconsciously, you don't object, or even admire each other's ways. ”
Ye Guyun stretched out a finger, "And the reason why you are still resisting until now is that you can't let go of one thing - the little benefit brought by privilege." It is understandable that the fruit grove in the distance is not as delicious as the sour dates in your hand after all! However, once there is something that can overshadow these benefits, you will surrender~!"
The tone was very sarcastic, and people frowned when they heard it, but after thinking about it, they found it difficult to refute.
The Grand Duke seemed to have turned into another Ye Guyun, his face was expressionless, as if he was not moving, in the end, he still touched the beard on his lips, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, you are right." ”
Ye Guyun stretched out his hands, did not respond, and continued: "I can especially understand the performance of both of you. When a country adopts a new and unprecedented set of political systems, systems, ideologies, and a whole bunch of other messy things, it can't wait to spread it around, wanting to gain approval, wanting to gain recognition, and wanting other countries to adopt the same set of things, so that its uniqueness will disappear. It's like a child who gets a new toy and thinks of showing off to his friends who live around him, making them praise, making them envious, letting them play with their butts and admitting that they are the head of the child. And you, ha, are the other child who has been living in the same house as this child, and he has long been spoiled by the toys in his hands~!"
There was silence, except for Frank, who couldn't help but say, "That's vivid!", but then he immediately covered his mouth nervously like a child had been discovered after mischievous.
Apparently he was overly concerned, and no one cared about such a trivial matter. The topic continued, and Ye Guyun asked, "So, what is your relationship with Calf?"
"Lord Calf is a student of Lord East, and a most loyal follower!" replied Turanson.
"Interesting. ”
"Lord Calf has been vigorously practicing the whole doctrine of Lord Easter, and he wants Lord Easter's ideas to shine throughout the continent......"
"Ah, that's what every fanatic does. ”
"Like his teacher, Lord Calff is a wise and fair ......"
Hearing this, Ye Guyun immediately waved his hand to stop him, and he said: "Okay! I don't need to spend a lot of time praising him, I know what you mean, it's nothing more than that, Calf is another Easter, maybe a little less talented, but younger, more fanatical, more radical, right?"
Great Khan Turanson: "Uh, yes...... You're so wise. ”
"I've seen a lot of this kind of bridge......
After a sneer, Ye Guyun asked again: "So, Calf was specially sent to the north by the high-level of the government of the Republic in order to make peace or evolve by force against you?"
"No, at least not on the surface. The Grand Duke said in a deep voice, "The reason why His Excellency Calf is in charge of the Northlands is to deal with the pressure from the Raidon Peninsula. ”
The Northland borders the Redden Peninsula, and from Silvermoon City in the heart of the Northlands, after crossing the Pitius Mountains, the "Roof of the World", from a pass due south, is the Redden Peninsula, which is now known as the Second Empire of Gretels.
"Alas," the Grand Duke sighed, his voice full of helplessness, "as Turranson said earlier, the old nobles who were defeated in the civil war, they did not lose everything, they fled to the other side of the Pilatius Mountains, they occupied the Raidon Peninsula, and with the natural danger of the roof of the world, this base is strong enough. Not resigned to defeat, they formed a new regime, introduced a royal side branch, and continued to carry on the banner of the empire......"
Taking a sip of black tea and looking at Ye Guyun, who was expressionless, the Grand Duke continued:
“... Their own hundred years of accumulation, coupled with the proceeds of repeated plundering, have made them have a huge amount of goods in their hands, which has supported the rapid development and growth of this regime. At the same time, they have good relations with the countries of the East..."
The Grand Duke raised his head and smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think I need to say why. ”
"Indeed," Ye Guyun nodded, he responded, but his tone was extremely mocking, "It's all feudal monarchs, a group of city lords, dukes, kings and the like, everyone has an honorable status and noble blood, maybe there are in-laws between each other, if you want to call me cousin, I want to call your cousin, you have to find a reason to crown the crown in a fight, and mutual calculations must be carried out in secret, and it is easy not to tear your face." Besides, the most important thing is that in the presence of the common enemy, the hillbillies who dare to resist, must not show some posture of watching and helping each other?"
"Incisive!"
"Thank you. ”
The topic of the group of people in that place on the east side of the mountain range actually made the Grand Duke feel not very good, after all, the Ashlen family was also among the nobles, and attacking them seemed to be attacking themselves. He shook his head slightly, put aside his trivial thoughts, turned his face straight, and then said: "It is precisely because of the good relations with the eastern countries that they don't have to worry about the future at all, they just need to focus on the west. They are condescending and condescending, so they have always adopted a proactive approach. When it comes to the specifics, every once in a while, they will rush down the mountain, harass and plunder the Northland..."
"Such an act," the Grand Duke shook his head heavily, "and is no different from a robber." In fact, Lord Calf's main mission in the Northland was to guard this group of bandits. The people of the Northland have endured this kind of suffering for decades, and cannot continue any longer! Fortunately, Lord Calf has been doing a good job since his arrival, and their attacks have been difficult to succeed in all these years. Of course, I know that with the character of His Excellency Calf, he will not be satisfied with just completing his own task, in his heart, he must be planning a counteroffensive strategy, he will turn over the roof of the world, recover the Raidon Peninsula, liquidate the group of villains, he will fulfill the unfulfilled wish of his teacher!
The Grand Duke was silent for a moment.
“... I'm afraid it's just a small episode on his way to greatness, an inconspicuous supernumerary plan that can be easily accomplished. ”
"Oh, understood. Ye Guyun still looked expressionless and indifferent, "Okay, let's get here." I think I already know everything I need to know. I've got some ideas. So, do you want to hear something that you want to hear?"
Everyone was in good spirits.
"Of course!, of course!" Turanson's trademark funny smile bloomed on his face, smiling brighter than any time before, "I can't wait!"
Roche, who had not spoken, took the lead in applauding.
"Let's welcome Mr. Saphius to speak~!"
Bang Bang Bang ......
Ye Guyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, glared at Luo Qi, and said, "Boring." ”
As soon as he raised his hand, the applause stopped.
Ye Guyun looked around and said, "Maybe you will hear some words that make you unhappy, unbelievable, and hurt your self-esteem......
"It's okay!"
"But please speak up!"
......
"Good. So, Grand Duke, answer me a question first......"
