Chapter 45: Honesty
Wang Weitai stood up with a blue face, "Since Elder Xia Zong has made up his mind, the old man will not keep it. Don't come in ten days, you take this elixir, and we will follow the law in the affairs of dogs. After speaking, Wang Weitai waved his hand and threw the porcelain bottle containing the raw bone pill to Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan caught the porcelain vase, his expression unchanged, "What is Wang Shuai doing?
Wang Weitai said angrily: "The old man is not confused yet! How can the life and death of a child in the quenching period change the decision of Liding Zhenren? As the saying goes, 'the Tao is different, not the same'! Since the old man Xia Zong and the old man are not the same, the old man disdains to have anything to do with you!"
Xia Yuan listened to Wang Weitai's explanation and said, "Wang Shuai, you are so resolute, you don't even care about your own son's disability, it's too intense. Listening to what you just said, this Wei clan is already degenerate and difficult to help, why is Wang Shuai so stupid and loyal?"
Wang Weitai replied angrily: "Foolish and loyal, the old man is worried about defending the country, just for the sake of the thousands of Li people who defend the country! Do you think the old man is loyal to the Wei family? What a big joke!"
Xia Yuan looked at Wang Weitai, who had an iron face and a beard, and felt that things were a little unexpected. Thinking of the strange Xue Yunting, Xia Yuan felt that some people in this world could not easily draw conclusions based on experience.
The interest that had been extinguished was brought up again, Xia Yuan was not pretentious, since he had the idea of finding out, he sat down again, smiled and said to Wang Weitai: "Listening to what Wang Shuai said, he has no good impression of Wei's family, and he is not the pedantic and old-fashioned person I thought. After saying that, Xia Yuan gave his apologetic hand, which was regarded as making amends.
Wang Weitai also calmed down at the moment, and he regretted it slightly. Although this place is blocked by the formation, and words will not be passed on, but he and Xia Yuan are only meeting for the first time, and on the spur of the moment, he scorned Wei's words, which is shallow and profound, and is quite impetuous.
Seeing Xia Yuan sit down again and apologize, Wang Weitai's heart was relieved, and he also sat down.
Xia Yuan can afford to put it down like this, and let Wang Weitai take a look at it, "Old Xia Zong doesn't need to be polite, the old man is impulsive, it is not a way of hospitality, it should be the old man who apologizes." β
Wang Weitai beckoned, volleyed the teapot, poured a new cup of tea, and presented it to Xia Yuan with both hands, as an apology.
Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and took the teacup, not wanting to dwell on politeness anymore, and said: "Wang Shuai, you care about the common people, it's really rare, in this world, even the children of a small family look down on the commoners." Wang Shuai, you are very unexpected, can you tell me what you think, I would like to hear it in detail, maybe we can really be like-minded. β
Wang Weitai looked at Xia Yuan, thought silently for a moment in his heart, and finally spoke: "Since you want to cooperate with Xia Zong, the old man should be honest, if you want to listen to the old man's thoughts, the old man will talk in detail, there are some arrogant nonsense, Xia Zonglao should not be surprised." β
Thinking of Xia Yuan's cultivation realm and Xia Yuan's past personality, Wang Weitai, who was bent on success, finally made up his mind and chose to take a gamble and confess his true thoughts to Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan saw that Wang Weitai had made a decision, and was ready to be honest with himself when he met for the first time, so he was busy with sincerity, sat upright, and said solemnly: "Although I am young, I also know that people treat me with sincerity, and I should respect him with sincerity." For today's meeting, I will be tight-lipped, and there will be no words spread outside, Wang Shuai, please rest assured. β
Wang Weitai pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The defense of the country is indeed rotten, but it will not be good for Chen and Yan to replace them. In fact, Chen and Yan also have the disadvantage of defending the country, but they have been established for less than a thousand years, and they are slightly stronger than the defense of the country. β
"The old man is extremely unaccustomed to all kinds of things in this world, in this world, civilians are oppressed by the family, the family is bullied by the royal family, and the royal family is clamped by the true monarch, and all levels are strict and insurmountable. As a result, the world has become rigid and rigid, the common people are numb and numb, and the people in the family and the royal family either live in mediocrity, eat and wait for death, or they are absurd and arrogant, perverted and happy, and the world is full of injustice and rancidness. According to historical records, the ancient people were all simple, kind, and vigorous, far from what they are now, and every time the old man looks at the history books, he sighs at the depravity of the human race today. β
"Now, if you don't save the country and let it fall into the hands of Chen and Yan, it is just a change of the royal family, in fact, it is a change of soup and not a change of medicine. What's more, with the war, there will be thousands of Li people who will be displaced and destroyed in their homes, and the old man can't bear it. β
"Emperor Wei is now ignoring the government and allowing the courtiers to disrupt the country, leading to the rapid decline of the country, which is extremely bad, but Emperor Wei is acting like this, which is also an opportunity for change. If Elder Xia Zong and Lao Fu join forces, once the traitors are suppressed in the court, we can eliminate all kinds of evils according to our own wishes, and greatly promote ancient rituals and ancient laws, which can not only revive the defense of the country, but also reproduce the good order and good customs of the ancient human race. β
"This is what the old man really thinks, and now frankly speaking, is Elder Xia Zong willing to join hands with the old man to create a new atmosphere in the defense of the country?"
After listening to Wang Weitai's words, Xia Yuan roughly understood Wang Weitai's person.
Wang Weitai seems to be the same as Xue Yunting, both of them are idealists, with great ambitions and fierce personalities. And compared with Xue Yunting, Wang Weitai's ideal is greater. He was dissatisfied with the current social structure and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's neglect to promote his own ideas.
However, in this world, people generally lack systematic and in-depth research on society, and even a courtier of a country like Wang Weitai, who is old in doing things, lacks great wisdom and thinks about the problem simply.
The ancient times here were similar to the ancient times of the earth, because the people at that time did not know how to cultivate, and there was no absolute gap between people, so they could be relatively fair and harmonious. Now that the cultivation of this world has begun, although it is still only a primitive stage, there is already an absolute gap between people. Juyuan Zhenjun, who is at the pinnacle of cultivation here, can easily slaughter the city and destroy the country under the attack of a large range of divine senses, and no family can resist. Similarly, large and small families with cultivation inheritances are not something that ordinary people can compete with.
Strength determines everything, Wang Weitai does not recognize this, does not make corresponding adjustments and changes according to the changes in the situation, and simply thinks that copying the ancient methods and ancient rituals can reproduce the prosperity and happiness of the human race in the past, which is really naΓ―ve.
Although Wang Weitai's vision is limited, his idealistic spirit still touched Xia Yuan.
Up to now, Xia Yuan has not been in contact with many people in this world, and he has successively met Xue Yunting and Wang Weitai, two idealists. Thinking about the current solidified and rough social pattern, many people are already thinking about changing it, which also prompted Xia Yuan to make a decision.
