Chapter 765: Linghu Hustle (2)
Ling Hu shook his head and said, "No, this is just an external statement. This is indeed to avoid the hatred and jealousy of many people and forces towards my Xuanyuan Tai, and reduce the conflict with other forces, but my Xuanyuan Tai has existed for thousands of years since the Yellow Emperor was founded. How many of these hidden sects have disappeared, and even those that still exist are mostly dying, just lingering.
In the past thousands of years, it is not that there are no extremely powerful forces that have moved on my Xuanyuan Tai, but my Xuanyuan Tai has experienced many disasters and can still persist to this day, how can it be as simple as you say?
The real reason why my Xuanyuan Terrace has been able to survive thousands of years without falling is that I Xuanyuan Terrace has always been on the side of the vast majority of people, regardless of good or evil, let alone personal thoughts.
Brother Fengyun, ask yourself, how many of you can accept the theory that 'all men are created equal' that you have wrongly advocated, and how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for him?"
Li Fengyun was silent, he didn't know how many people really accepted the theory of equality, but he knew that from the perspective of the whole world, there were actually very few people who agreed with the theory of equality. Even in Dingzhou, Yizhou, and Shenzhou, there are not many people who truly accept the theory of equality and sit and act. Not to mention those who are willing to pay with their lives for the idea of equality.
If it weren't for Fengyunwei's strong strength and incomparable deterrent, I'm afraid that the people who rose up against him Li Fengyun would not be a very small number. This included even the peasants, merchants, and slaves who benefited from the egalitarian theory......
This is also a headache for Li Fengyun, Gongsun Wuwu, Hua Jieyu and others. Compared with those who read books, they are stiff and stubborn, and the ignorance and ignorance of the people make them even more helpless. Nowadays in Dingzhou, when it comes to equality, everyone knows it. But if you really want to hold a common person and ask what the theory of equality is talking about, I am afraid that most of them will be dumbfounded or gibberish.
The people just interpreted the theory of equality literally, and even after Jiang Yang was caught, he actually swore that he was doing things according to the theory of equality, and robbing the rich and helping the poor was the greatest equality, which made Li Fengyun and others laugh.
The people in the market quarreled, and the people who kept saying the word equality the day before were now holding their waists with one hand and pointing at each other's noses with the other, and said: "You damn splash, my second uncle's aunt's grandson is doing things in the yamen in Jiedu, fight with me, you are looking for death!"
Zhang San brought Li Si to the court and accused Li Si of selling the house outside the city to Wang Wu last year and only received 20 copper coins from Wang 5, but this year, when he sold the house in Dingzhou City to Li Si, Li Si opened his mouth and asked for 200 yuan, which was very unequal, and asked Mo Qingyan Mo to sentence Li Si heavily, and asked Li Si to sell the house in the city to him at a price of 20 yuan.
......
The list goes on and on.
The Lingering Garden Feast was held again in May this year, and the grand occasion was unprecedented, several times larger than the last time, but this time the result disappointed Li Fengyun and Gongsun Wuwu. Seeing the implementation of the new policies in Dingzhou, Yizhou, and Shenzhou, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism...... Almost all of them have joined forces, given up fighting with each other, and pointed the finger at the theory of equality, which has been almost completely refuted with some individual facts.
The most infuriating thing is that those ordinary people who have benefited from the new deal applauded instead, which also deeply pierced the hearts of Li Fengyun, Gongsun Wuwu and others. Those facts that are obvious to all, everyone pretends not to see them, but instead clings to some individual cases and mistakes and entangles them endlessly.
The human heart is like a snake swallowing an elephant, those who have received benefits want to get more benefits, and those who have not yet received benefits are blind to the benefits that others have already received. Even if they all get benefits, they will always think that the benefits they get are not as good as others, and they are resentful, and it is really difficult to reconcile.
These things often make Li Fengyun have the idea of blocking the mouths of the people.
However, Dingzhou is a place that pays attention to equality, and does not punish for words, which further fuels the arrogance of those ignorant people. Because everyone knows that if you offend Fengyunwei, there will be nothing wrong, but if you offend the gentry, Fengyunwei will decline in the future, but there will be no good fruit to eat. Choosing between the two, persimmons are always looking for soft pinching, and there is never a lack of clever citizens scolding them naturally.
Even if there are fair people, in this case, they will never dare to speak out.
In the final analysis, in fact, it is all because Li Fengyun's foundation is too shallow, Fengyunwei's foundation is too shallow, and the foundation of equality is too shallow.
Li Fengyun was speechless for a while, not knowing how to tell the difference.
Ling Hu sighed and said, "Xuanyuan Tai has a heavy responsibility, and there is no room for mistakes. Brother Fengyunxian, although your current strength is not weak, it is insignificant compared to the whole world. To tell the truth, what the virtuous brother did may not be wrong, but your strength is too small, there are too few people willing to support you, and the chance of success is too slim.
If I, Xuanyuantai, really fully support you, what will be the result? I, Xuanyuantai, will also become the target of public criticism, and cannot be tolerated in the world. Without the influence of the various forces and the support of the various forces in the world, what is left of my Xuanyuan Terrace? What can I do?
If you really succeed, it's okay, I, Xuanyuantai, can survive and continue our mission. But if you fail, the Xuanyuan Terrace that betrayed your relatives will be completely finished.
It's nothing if my Xuanyuan Terrace disappears, but without my Xuanyuan Terrace, who will be willing to maintain the inheritance of Chinese civilization in the future?
Xuanyuantai can't afford this risk, and Xuanyuantai can't afford to gamble on this bet.
Therefore, a certain family is resolutely opposed to supporting you and supporting Fengyunwei.
Of course, if one day the virtuous brother can really let the theory of equality take root in the hearts of the people, so that the majority of people can support your ideas from the heart, I, Xuanyuantai, will naturally fully support you. ”
Li Fengyun was speechless, Ling Huhuan's words were right, if he was in Ling Huhuan's position, he would probably make the same choice. It's not about who is right or wrong, it's just about who succeeds or who loses!
It is not easy to build a world based on equality, and the people have already taken it for granted after thousands of years of nurturing of the noble and low.
"Okay! What a certain family said should also be able to solve the doubts in your heart, no matter what, a certain family, and Xuanyuan Tai still hope that you can succeed!" Ling Hu patted Li Fengyun on the shoulder and said, "Even if Xuanyuan Tai can't fully support you, he will never be embarrassed by you, even if I Xuanyuan Tai chooses another force in the future." In the shadows, Xuanyuan Tai doesn't mind helping the virtuous brothers, this is my Linghu Huan's promise, and it is also the consensus of the five elders of Xuanyuan Tai!"
