Chapter 318: Lethe

Two days later, the fleet set sail again.

Lu Yunzhou leaned comfortably on the side of the boat, looking at the soldiers who were shouting trumpets and running on the embankment.

Since entering the Wei realm, the scenery on both sides of Pushui has shown a huge difference - the Taojun of the Qin State on the left bank is smoky, densely populated, and densely populated, and the pedestrians passing by are mostly neatly dressed and elegant, and sometimes there are gorgeous carriages passing by.

Tao County of Qin on the left bank, more than 20 years ago, was originally the land of the Song State, and after the King of Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, it briefly became the land of the Qi State, and finally in the battle of the Five Kingdoms Alliance to attack Qi, it was robbed by the Qin State, as the fiefdom of the Marquis Wei Ran and his descendants until today.

Tao County is located in Qi, Wei, Wei, Chu, Lu four countries, developed commerce, is a fertile soil of the anointed land, was also the late Spring and Autumn period of the famous big businessman Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li's birthplace, Tao Zhu Gong's pottery character, is derived from the name of the place.

Probably because Tao County is located in the Central Plains, not bordering the Qin mainland, it is an enclave of the Qin State in the Central Plains, and it has always been in a state of autonomy, so it has not been affected by too many Shang Dynasty changes, and the commercial trade here has always been very lush.

Diametrically opposed to the bustle and bustle of Tao County on the left bank, there is a bleak and desolate hellish scene on the right bank.

As the fleet went upstream, gradually penetrating into the defense territory, the skeletons of the lying roadside appeared on the right bank from time to time, and unkempt and scrawny homeless people appeared on the shore from time to time, wailing and wandering, like a walking corpse, gradually left behind by the slow-moving fleet.

The endless flow of vast water, when flowing through this section of the river, seems to be incarnated into the Lethe River of the underworld, isolating the world and hell......

Lu Yunzhou looked at this scene, with pity and emotion in his eyes, but more meaningful.

Seeing Lu Yunzhou leaning on the bow of the boat alone to blow the wind, Qin Qing walked to the side of the boat, followed the sight of Lu Yunzhou, looked to the right bank, and when he saw the miserable situation of the displaced people on the shore, a pair of clear and clear beautiful eyes showed pity, and he couldn't bear to turn his head, looked at Lu Yunzhou who was looking at all this expressionlessly, shook his head and sighed lightly:

Xunzi once said: 'The prince of Cheng, the heir, the king of the accumulation and counting, has not yet taken the people. I see that the tyranny of the monarch today, the gathering of people, and the competition for profits with the people are more than those of the predecessors and heirs! As everyone knows, the principle of governing the country was once said in "Zhou Yi": The people say that there is no boundary. From top to bottom, its path is bright. ”

Lu Yunzhou heard Qin Qing's footsteps, but he didn't look back, and when he heard this, he exhaled lightly, but he shook his head slowly and didn't make a sound.

Qin Qing rarely saw Lu Yunzhou so silent, it seemed that he didn't agree with his point of view, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and saluted playfully and playfully: "Qi Gongzi doesn't seem to agree with the little girl's words, if you don't dislike the little girl's shallow and dull, please ask Qi Gongzi to give advice!"

Being provoked again and again, Lu Yunzhou finally couldn't continue to keep his face tight, he didn't expect Qin Qing to have the spirit of exploration to get to the bottom of it, shook his head and smiled: "Actually, Wei Jun is very shrewd, in my opinion, Wei Jun naturally can't be called a good monarch and a good person, but he can be regarded as a rare person who understands!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Qingxiu raised her eyebrows, extremely shocked, and looked at Lu Yunzhou a little at a loss, I don't know why Lu Yunzhou suddenly spoke for the faint Wei Jun.

Two days ago, Lu Yunzhou tried his best to override public opinion and took in the displaced people from a village to enter the mission, which made Qin Qing admire his personality very much, so at this moment, although she was shocked by Lu Yunzhou's astonishing remarks, she subconsciously felt that this statement must have a deep meaning.

Qin Qing thought for a moment, but finally couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help asking, "Why did Gongzi Qi say this?"

Lu Yunzhou let out a long sigh, knowing that if he wanted to truly gain the trust of this cold and lonely beauty in front of him, he had to leave an indelible impression on her.

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said: "If Wei Jun is like the one taught in "Zhou Yi", sympathetic to the people, losing the benefits of the upper and lower levels, and hiding the wealth from the people, the people will certainly be happy, but this Wei Guo is only afraid that it will fall in an instant! ”

Qin Qing was stunned again, as if she couldn't believe her ears at all, she didn't expect that Lu Yunzhou not only spoke for Wei Jun, but also went further, completely denying the good prescription for governing the country taught by the sages.

Qin Qing's heart flashed a ridiculous perception, at this moment, she only felt that she could no longer see through Lu Yunzhou in front of her, he seemed to have become another complete stranger, Qin Qing could no longer connect the person in front of her with the benevolent son who saved the people from fire and water two days ago.

At this moment, Qin Qing only felt a strong sense of loss welling up in his heart, and he was extremely lonely: "Qin Qing has always thought that Qi Gongzi is a generous and virtuous person, and Qin Qing's behavior of taking in the displaced people has also made Qin Qing admire, but listening to Gongzi's words today, he really taught Qin Qing to be disappointed and cold!"

After saying this, Qin Qing bowed lightly, and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he wanted to leave with his sleeves brushed away.

With Qin Qing's always dignified character, saying such serious words shows that she is really disappointed at the moment.

Lu Yunzhou shook his head with a smile, without saying a word, from the beginning, his eyes had been fixed on a shaky homeless person on the shore.

At this time, the soldiers on the embankment had already run to the front of the fleet, and at the end of the long line, the homeless man climbed up the high embankment tremblingly under the gaze of Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou's face changed, and he hurriedly beckoned Ma Dalong, who was standing not far away, and ordered: "Look at the homeless man who climbed the embankment, I have observed this person for a long time, and I judge that he is very likely to throw himself into the river next, you immediately go to the stern of the boat, and let the soldiers in the water rescue him!"

Ma Dalong looked at the homeless man who had already climbed the embankment in surprise, and muttered in his heart, why was Yu Shuai so sure that this person would definitely commit suicide by throwing himself into the river?

But Lu Yunzhou's order was a military order, and Ma Dalong complained in his heart, and he never dared to disobey the order, so he hurriedly responded loudly: "Yes, Yushuai, my subordinates will do it!"

The communication between Lu Yunzhou and Ma Dalong reached the ears of Qin Qing, who had not yet left, and she was also very surprised, and saw the homeless person who climbed the embankment as Lu Yunzhou pointed out.

I saw that the homeless man was blind, and his limbs were stiff, as if he was a walking corpse, and he could fall to the side of the road and die at any time. 8)
