Chapter 120, Red Eyebrows
Hearing Tianze say Zhan Lu, Ziyou put Zhan Lu sideways in front of him, and he took Zhan Lu out on the one hand to defend himself, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Tianze's opinion of Zhan Lu.
"Zhan Lu is the national treasure of the Yue country, in addition to the Tianyue sword, Zhan Lu in the Yue country has a superior status, when the Yue King contributed to the Wu King Lu, after the Yue King Gou Jian lying down and tasting the courage to return to the Yue country, Zhan Lu appeared in the hands of the Yue King Goujian, the Yue people think that this is God bless the Yue country.
After the Yue State and the counterattack on the Wu State, Gou Jian took the Zhan Lu armor in every battle, and the Wu people were defeated in the battle, and since then the land of Wu Yue has spread that the Zhan Lu sword has won the world, and then the Wu State was destroyed by the Yue State, and it is precisely because of Zhan Lu that the people of Wu recognized Gou Jian, and the Yue State was able to stabilize the internal hegemony of the princes Zhan Lu Jian has a great merit.
Since then, Zhan Lu has been circulating in the land of Wu Yue, and the legend of Zhan Lu has also spread among the Baiyue who are descendants of Wu Yue. Tian Ze looked at Zhan Lu Jian with complicated eyes and said.
If he had the Zhan Lu sword at the beginning, then the Baiyue tribes would most likely obey his orders and resist the Han Chu coalition army with him, Zhan Lu is not only a national symbol in the hearts of the Baiyue people, but also extremely important in the eyes of those great witches.
Ziyou listened to Tianze's explanation, and gradually understood the symbol of Zhanlu, Zhanlu in the hearts of the people of Baiyue as their faith, Zhanlu represents that they are about to usher in a virtuous monarch, and the Central Plains Jiuding, Suihou Zhu, and the same as the Shibi, Ziyou also thought of the legend about the Zhanlu sword.
The Zhan Lu sword was cast, and the king of Yue regarded it as a national treasure. The Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Wu State, and the King of Wu obtained this sword. But one day the sword suddenly disappeared, and one day King Chu Zhao's pillow suddenly found this cold and shining sword. The swordsman entered the palace to solve the riddle: This is the sword of Ou Yezi, the swordsman of Wu, the sword of Zhanlu, the king of Wu has no way, he kills the king's bureaucracy and stands on his own, and kills 10,000 people to martyr his daughter, the Wu people are sad and resentful, how can they get this sword? The country where the sword is located will be far and prosperous. King Chu Zhao Dayue: "This is a Rui Zhao from heaven!"
After Zhan Lu returned to the hands of Gou Jian, under the hype of Gou Jian, he used Zhan Lu as a banner to encourage the people of the Yue Kingdom, and at the same time spread the legend of Zhan Lu in the Wu State, which was what happened later, and the reason why the Yue people killed the king three times seems to be clear, the Yue King lost the Zhan Lu sword, and was discovered by others, and some ambitious people were ready to use this reason to usurp the throne, and the people of Wu Yue were more superstitious, and the people would not have excessive resistance under this reason.
This kind of relying on some kind of spiritual sustenance to declare one's reasonable legitimacy is not uncommon in history, and it can be said that every country and every dynasty exists, otherwise there would be no fox barking and one-eyed stone people in the future.
Hearing Tianze's words, Ziyou understood Tianze's thoughts, and also respected Tianze's persistence, and got up and said
"Now that the Red Eyebrow has figured it out, then I won't say anything more, I hope you will make the right choice."
Just as Ziyou was about to leave with the Snow Girl, Tianze suddenly asked
"What would you do if I insisted on going my own way?"
Ziyou stopped and said
"Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, war is a cruel thing, he will only bring benefits to the superiors, and it is the people who suffer, so I want to reduce the harm caused by the war to the people as much as possible, but it does not mean that I am a soft-hearted person, I want to give everyone a dignity, if someone does not want this dignity, I will help him to be decent.
Governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, loving the people, Confucianism, and Confucianism will also be in the matter of destroying the country and destroying the species. ”
Ziyou's voice is very flat, it sounds comfortable, but the content makes people's backs chill, Flame Lingji, the Exorcist and the Hundred Poison King suddenly feel cold behind them, especially Flame Lingji, in her contact with Ziyou, Ziyou showed a full affinity, but Ziyou was talking about the extinction of the country and the species, she felt that Ziyou was not joking, but could really do this kind of thing.
Ziyou left with the Snow Maiden, and the thatched house suddenly became as silent as death, and the exorcist, the Hundred Poison King, and the Flame Spirit Ji all looked at Tian Ze, they were waiting for Tian Ze's choice, but Tian Ze did not look at them, but walked out of the thatched house on his own, came to the top of the mountain, and looked at the west of Xinzheng City, where King Han once placed the remnants of Baiyue.
The Exorcist, the Hundred Poison King, and the Flame Spirit Ji glanced at each other, and each returned to their respective rooms.
The next day, Tian Ze was still sitting on the top of the mountain and didn't know what he was thinking, the remaining three people were still busy with their own things, the exorcist went to preside over the funeral, although the village was remote and there was no war, but people would inevitably have accidents when they were working, the Hundred Poison King was studying his own poison, and Flame Lingji was sitting on the tree looking at the east and didn't know what he was thinking.
At dusk, Tian Ze walked down from the top of the mountain, and the three of them immediately greeted him, and Tian Ze looked at the three people and said
"Follow me to Mr. Ziyou."
"Looking for him?" Flame Spirit Ji asked in surprise.
"Yes, you should know where he lives, right?" Tian Ze asked.
"Yes."
Flame Lingji took Tianze and a few people to Ziyou's residence, at this time Ziyou was reading a book in the courtyard, and saw Tianze and a few people falling from the sky without the slightest surprise, signaled Tianze to sit down, looking at the steaming tea on the table, Tianze said
"You know I'm coming?"
"From the sentence you should give to the red eyebrows, I know that you will make the right choice, and the people of Baiyue still have a good king." Ziyou looked at Tianze and said, Confucianism has three divisions for monarchs, the first is a holy king like Yao Shunyu, the second is the lord of the mean, such people are also the most common, including the most one, and the third is a brutal monarch like Xia Wei.
And Tianze belongs to the lord of the mean, Confucianism evaluates the monarch to see three aspects, the first monarch's means of governing the country, Tianze can be said to be a smart martial artist, I am afraid there is not much achievement in the way of governing the country, the second is private morality, this is not good for Tianze, the third is also the most important one, for the people's opinion, although Tianze does not meet the first two conditions, but the third is now Tianze is still doing well, he did not take the future of Baiyue people to gamble.
When Tian Ze responded to the sentence of Red Eyebrow Jun, he explained that he did not just regard Red Eyebrow Jun as a title and honor, but as a sense of responsibility as the prince of Baiyue, and he wanted to make a life for Baiyue.
"Baiyue is a descendant of the god of war Chiyou, and the Central Plains is a descendant of Yanhuang, can the two really coexist?" Tian Ze looked at Ziyou and asked.
Ziyou put down the book in his hand and handed it to Tianze, this is the last level, and it is also a threshold that the Central Plains and Baiyue can't pass, Tianze is worried about whether Baiyue will be accepted by the Central Plains, you must know that the current Chu State is a barbarian in the eyes of Confucianism, let alone Baiyue.
