In the early morning, a large number of people living in Ci, merchants doing business, and Dongyi people who had just moved here had gathered at the gate of Yicheng. Of course, the high-level officials of the Dongyi tribe led by Yaocha and the relevant officials of Chentangguan have also come to the crowd, and they are all invited by Li Jing to wait for Li Jing to personally announce the exact news from Chaoge.

Of course, in fact, as the high-level of a family, or those big businessmen who don't have some means to get accurate information, the reason why they are still willing to come here is to take a look at Li Jing's attitude.

Li Jing climbed to the top of the city tower alone, glanced at the dense crowd of the audience, and opened his hands to show the crowd to be quieter.

"Thousands of years ago, a great Dongyi man Yu Shun established a small city called Fu Wei here, on the boundary of Chentang Pass. At the same time, under his leadership, the Dongyi people and the people of the Yanhuang tribe worked together to control the floods of the Yellow River. It was also from that day that the Dongyi and Huaxia tribes slowly merged into one, regardless of each other.

However, thousands of years later, we must face up to the tragic fact that there is still a group of Dongyi people wandering outside China, and all kinds of friction between the two tribes are still occurring; we must face up to the fact that there are still Dongyi slaves with the same blood as us who are constantly suffering from all kinds of abuse and torture from their masters, and they can only get a little reward for their hard work; we must face up to the fact that the inexplicable grudges of our ancestors over the past thousands of years have not been resolved to this day, but are getting deeper and deeper, and they are becoming more and more intense。

We have the same civilization and worship the same gods, but we are always hostile to each other and cannot live in harmony. With its unparalleled strength, Dashang wantonly oppressed the Dongyi tribe, who were weaker and weaker than him, and even thought that they could be wiped out.

However, in my opinion, all beings are equal, and there is no distinction between the Dongyi people and the people of the Great Shang, and there is no difference between the inferior and the inferior bloodline. Therefore, the policy concept I have been promoting has benefited not only the Shang people, but also the Dongyi people, who have been oppressed by the Chinese for thousands of years. In my opinion, as long as all living human races should be equal, I am willing to protect him and help him. It is like teaching the fairy of mercy to be compassionate and kind to all beings. ”

Saying that, Li Jing glanced at it, stood not far away, and had been quietly listening to this Cihang Taoist who had been listening to his speech.

And those listeners under the city, after hearing Li Jing's remarks, most of the people of the Great Merchants fell into deep thought, it is true that the Great Merchants have carried out countless wars against Dongyi in the past 800 years, and a large number of Dongyi people have been reduced to slaves and suffered humiliation.

And many Dongyi people were excited and tearful, especially those slaves who had just been rescued by Li Jing, after so many years, there were finally people who stood up to speak for them, and the dream was really not wrong, this chief soldier was indeed a messenger sent by the Emperor of Heaven to save his clansmen.

I hope that one day, in this place of Chentangguan, the local people will be able to truly realize the true meaning of my philosophy: "We believe that the truth is self-evident and that all men are created equal.

I hope that one day, in Yicheng, the sons of former slaves will be able to sit with the sons of former slave owners and share brotherhood.

I hope that one day, even Asaha City will be able to hide as slaves, and there will be no more oppression, and the place that used to be like a desert for slaves will become an oasis of freedom and equality.

I hope that one day my three children will live in a kingdom where they will be judged not by their race, but by their character.

Today, I have a wish.

I hope that one day, the valley will rise, the mountain will fall, the bumpy and tortuous road will become a smooth road, and the brilliance of the Emperor and Emperor will be revealed, and it will shine on the world, this is our hope. It was with this in mind that I came to Chentangguan. With this idea, we will be able to cleave a stone of hope from the Ridge of Despair. With this idea, we will be able to transform the cacophony of bickering between the two communities into a beautiful piece of music that is full of brotherhood.

With this belief, we will be able to work together, worship our ancestors together, and uphold equality and justice together, because we know that one day, we will be equal. ”

Hearing Li Jing's impassioned speech, the people in the audience, and even the soldiers who maintained order, seemed to be infected by Li Jing, swept away the haze brought about by the approaching war, and spontaneously began to shout: "Freedom...... Equal...... Peace...... Justice ......"

Those officials who were invited by Li Jing, the generals of Dongyi, and even those big businessmen seemed to be impressed by Li Jing's concept of fraternity, and even some people couldn't help but associate Li Jing with those specious legends: Could it be that the rumors of the so-called phoenix companionship are true, and this chief soldier is really a sage alive.

"I know many of you have come here today to hear rumors of one kind or another. It is said that His Majesty the King of Zhou has already raised troops in Chaoge, and will arrive at Chentang Pass in the near future. is determined to conquer Dongyi, and even prepares to destroy Dongyi in one fell swoop. I am here today to solemnly announce that the news you have received is true. ”

Hearing the announcement of this remark by his own commander-in-chief, the crowd was a little flustered. At that time, because of Li Jing's previous words, most people were still calm. They knew that what Li Jing said next was the point, if it was just to announce the fact that the Shang King had raised an army, why did Li Jing say so much before again.

Li Jing motioned to the crowd again to calm them down.

"I know that you are very worried, the Dongyi people are worried that their homeland will not be protected, the merchants are worried that their goods and shops in Chentangguan will be affected, and the local people are worried that Chentangguan, which has been quietly developed for a few years, will be affected by the war again and be destroyed.

However, I, Li Jing, promise that I will always stand with you who do not want war and love peace. Believe me, I have the ability to prevent this war from coming, to prevent this catastrophe from happening.

But my power alone is limited, so I hope that you can also be firm in your faith and support me behind the scenes. As long as we can support each other and pool the strength of all of us, even the biggest things can be accomplished. ”

Suddenly, Li Jing paused and added:

"At the same time, I want you to understand that our Majesty Zi Xin, who is the brother of my own wife, is a wise king, and he is definitely not a tyrant. As long as we have enough sincerity and patience, we will definitely be able to make him change his mind. ”
