Chapter 157: Passing by History
"However, after many years of war, there is chaos in the north, the people are living very hard, and the world does not want to fight, and wants to live a peaceful life for a few days." The emperor's tone softened, and he lost his previous pride,
"I want to completely exterminate the northern tribes in one go, but the minister of the DPRK and the central government has written again, and he should slowly plan it. I also feel that Da Yan is tired and should be repaired, but I feel that time is running out, and I will change the emperor in the future, and I dare not guarantee that the next one will still have such ambition as me, I don't know what to do? Where can the Taoist give an answer?
If you can build a miracle of the world, it is naturally good, but behind the great achievements, there are often countless miserable creatures.
Looking at these great achievements in history, the angle has been different, and the places that can't bear to look have been wiped out by the long river of time, leaving all the glittering parts, but at this time, you can know that every step of history has been paved by countless vivid people.
In his opinion, there are three kinds of war. One must fight, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A war for a while is for a longer period of peace, and if you fight this one, you will get more peace, and if you don't fight this one, you will have no peace for a long time.
One is not that you have to fight, and the pros and cons are not easy to say. Some people say they should fight, some people say they shouldn't. Some people say to fight well, some people say not to fight well.
Different people stand in different angles and give different answers. One is a senseless battle.
Either the timing of the war is wrong, there is too little chance of winning, or there is no need in the first place, but the emperor provokes it to satisfy his own selfish desires and personal thoughts, which is not beneficial to the country or the people.
If the current emperor launches a war against the north again, Song You can't actually tell which one it is, whether it has to be fought or not, or whether this emperor is purely to satisfy his own desires or win the reputation of the famous emperor through the ages, he actually doesn't know, and even whether this war should be fought at this time, or fought again in the future, whether the war will win or lose at this time, and whether it will consume the national strength and usher in decline, he actually doesn't know.
What's more, no matter what the outcome is, there may be countless lives ruined, and Taoists are just Taoists, that is, they are not emperors or politicians, and they really shouldn't say much.
It's like reincarnation in the underworld. Song You had to say truthfully: "This matter is very important, I have only learned a lot and don't know much, so it's really hard to say a thing or two." ”
"That's it." The emperor was a little disappointed, and sighed secretly in his heart. Knowing that his ancestors had relied on Fulongguan to open the dynasty and establish the country, and had also relied on Fulongguan to lift the danger and decay of people's livelihood and regain Zhongxing, if the person in front of him could give advice, it would undoubtedly give him a lot of confidence, but he also knew that Fulongguan Dao had a weak nature, if it were not for the people of the world to be in danger, or provoked him, he rarely intervened in political affairs, so he did not ask much.
"I still have one last doubt."
"Please."
"Sir must also know fortune-telling and divination." The Emperor said,
"At today's banquet, Mr. and Chen Ziyi talked, I wonder what Mr. thinks of this person?"
"I see...... Song You suddenly understood, and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty invited General Chen to be here tonight so that you can see General Chen below." ”
"Exactly." The emperor looked ahead with a calm face: "I have always used people without suspicion, and I don't need to use suspicious people, but Chen Ziyi's military exploits are too high, and there are often people in the court who write books and chase after the wind and shadows, either that he supports the army and is self-respecting, or that he has the heart of rebellion, and I know in my heart that it is all fake." ”
"Oh?"
"However, news came back from the border, saying that Chen Ziyi's power in the army was unmatched for a while, and there was only a general and no Son of Heaven in the eyes of the generals under his command, and even Chen Ziyi was very authoritative among the people in the northern rivers and lakes.
"So His Majesty summoned him to Beijing?"
"First, I wanted to see what he was thinking, and second, I also wanted to use him again, so I ordered him to be summoned. It's okay for him to return to Beijing coolly, heh, he really responded to the storyteller's words, and he was full of guts. ”
"I see." Song You was in a trance for a while. It turns out that the young general I heard from the storyteller back then is now so terrible?
At this time, I heard the emperor ask: "I don't know if Mr. can see if this person is different?" "That's what I should have asked
"Anti-bone",
"The Emperor's Appearance" or something.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood, in fact, I am not proficient in fortune-telling and divination." Song You said,
"I can't see how Da Yan will be in the future, nor can I see anyone's luck, if Your Majesty wants to ask me if General Chen has any objections, or if he has an unusually noble appearance, he is looking for the wrong person."
"Sir doesn't know how to calculate divination?"
"I don't understand."
"How does that gentleman know that there are good breeds overseas?"
"Guess."
"If you don't have a big certainty, you won't ask Yan Xian to look for it, right?"
"It's got its own way."
"......I see," the emperor heard this, and did not want to persecute it. It's just another disappointment.
"I heard that the national teacher is good at this." Song You asked,
"Why didn't Your Majesty ask the national teacher?"
"I have also talked to the national teacher. It's just that the national teacher loves fame, if it is not urgent, he usually only gives good policies for the benefit of the country and the people, and the national teacher has always been reluctant to say much about this kind of thing. ”
"Don't you say anything?"
"Sir is a human immortal of Fulongguan, and I have nothing to hide in front of Mr. When I talked to the national teacher about Chen Ziyi, the national teacher once said that Chen Ziyi was a loyal person, but the national teacher also said that Chen Ziyi's power in the army is indeed incomparable, and the generals in the army are very obedient to him, and I know both of these things. ”
"I heard that Anjifang and the nursing home were all proposed by the national teacher?"
"Exactly." The so-called Anjifang, Nursing Home, and Leaky Garden are all welfare institutions in this year. Anjifang is a medical aid institution in Changjing, mainly used to provide medical services to the sick and poor.
Nursing homes are equivalent to nursing homes and orphanages in later generations, and most of them are also separated, among which the part of the elderly is also called the old man's house and the Anhuai house, and the part of the child is also called the Salesian Bureau.
Leaky Garden is a public welfare funeral institution, mainly burying the bones of the ownerless. The establishment of these government-run social welfare institutions, although it was proposed by the national teacher, also shows the degree to which Dayan attaches importance to people's livelihood.
They rely on the highly developed economic level of Dayan, the highly perfect social composition structure and the attitude of the ruling class to attach great importance to the people's livelihood, not only have they never had before, but perhaps after the demise of Dayan, if the next dynasty cannot inherit these characteristics of Dayan, these institutions representing civilization will not be continued.
When Song You heard about these institutions, he was actually a little shocked in his heart. In such an era, many people's impression of it seems to be gray and cannibalistic, and the upper class society does not treat the people at the bottom as human beings, but it is difficult to imagine that in such a dark era, the people in power would set up such a humanistic care institution to care for the people at the bottom.
The fact that the national teacher can do these things is also a lot of merit. Of course, due to various constraints, the power of these welfare institutions is also limited.
Anjifang can't help all the poor patients in Changjing, and there will be people who have been affected by evil before, but still can't see the disease.
The nursing home cannot support all the orphans, widows and children in Changjing, there are still elderly people sleeping on the streets, and baby girls are still being thrown into the river.
Drainy Zeyuan can bury the bones of the ownerless in the ground, but at most it is just to find a place to bury it, giving the most basic decency.
However, as long as Anjifang treats a patient, an orphan and an old man are raised in a nursing home, and a corpse is buried in Leaky Garden, it is already a merit.
Don't be small and don't do it. And back to Chen Ziyi's matter, maybe the national teacher knows what Chen Ziyi will do in the future, maybe the national teacher doesn't know, but the national teacher who is good at guessing and divination can't give an answer, and Song You can't give an answer.
"Your Majesty will send it here, may Your Majesty rest soon, the dragon's body is healthy, and I also wish Dayan a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be more peace."
"Borrow the good words of Mr."
"Say goodbye below."
"Sir, walk slowly." The Taoist got into the carriage prepared by the emperor. The cat jumped up after him, got into the car, and looked left and right with his head up, as if he felt novel.
"Tosh!" Horseshoe Dada, wheel chariot. The cat was curious and poked its head out to observe. The Taoist squinted his eyes and sat still.
Taking advantage of the identity, the perspective is naturally higher, and it is easy to see things that are not easy for ordinary people to see.
Just this night - this prosperous peak dynasty, the ambitious emperor in his later years, the famous general who has never been defeated in the world, the suspicion of the emperor, the response of the general, and the national teacher in the middle...... Anything that may happen after that, or that is happening at this time, will become a strong stroke in history, and he is in this mountain at this time, so close to history, and unable to see it completely.
It's an amazing feeling. Where is the wonder, but it cannot be said. In short, no matter what happens in the future, the emperor guesses the famous general and kills him, the emperor trusts the famous general and uses it, the emperor conquers the north, the victory is a miracle through the ages, and the defeat is the weakening of the empire, or the emperor gives up the campaign, and even many years later, General Chen rebelled, Song You came to this palace tonight to take this trip, and passed by this major event in history, and watched the writing of the historical chapter with his own eyes, it is no longer a loss.
Thousands of years later, there will be countless people who are full of longing and curiosity about this era, countless people are reading and writing the stories of this time, reciting the famous poems written in this era, arguing about whether the famous general has selfishness or not, and arguing about the merits and demerits of this emperor...... And thousands of years ago, the Taoist witnessed it with his own eyes.
It's as if I've become a part of the history books. When he came to his senses, the cat had stepped on his lap, his head so close to him, and his mouth seemed to be about to pestle his chin.
"Taoist priest."
"Huh?"
"What are you thinking?"
"You don't understand."
"Oh......" The cat nodded obediently, stared at him again and asked, "What is this?" ”
"What's what?"
"What are we in there?"
"Horse-drawn carriages, we often see them on the road." The Taoist patiently explained,
"It's just that the ones on the road don't look like this."
"Why don't we buy one of this? Put it on the horse so we can sit in it and go. The cat's eyes were full of bewilderment.
Facing her gaze, many answers flashed in the hearts of the Taoists, yes
"Then it's not like you're going to go on your own", there is
"The carriage can only be on the main road and cannot climb the mountain", but she felt that she could not convince her, and she might come up with many different words to deal with him, or ask many questions.
So he thought about it for a moment before he said, "Then the horses will be very tired." ”
"Yes......" The cat nodded immediately, agreeing.
