When Chai Shao spoke in such a half-ridiculing and vaguely provocative manner, the whole atmosphere immediately seemed to be amiss.
In any case, everyone gets together to drink, and what they drink is casual wine without any reason or explanation. To put it harshly, it is a bad wine.
From this point of view, no matter what, we should have a pretty good friendship.
Chai Shao's opening was almost like a direct distinction between ourselves and the enemy - the atmosphere in this scene can be imagined.
King Luo Bin's reaction was also very obvious, and his face turned red immediately. Although he was actually a little older than Li Sheng, and now he could be regarded as a backbone captain in the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, but at this moment when the old senior said this, his face
Still can't hang up immediately.
"Uh... uh..."
"Father, I mean."
King Luo Bin suddenly stuttered when he spoke, and it seemed funny to him. However, at this moment, Chai Shao burst into laughter.
"Why, what's the problem with this? China's vast territory has countless borderlands. Although these borderlands are called 'frontier lands' by those scholars, there are still people who have settled there."
"this……"
King Luo Bin was startled when he heard this. Mr. Chai had been lecturing him with a fierce face just now, which made him feel anxious. Why did it happen suddenly in the blink of an eye? In fact, Chai Shao did not suddenly do anything, but King Luo Bin did have something.
Mingwu, I feel that there is something in Chai Shao's words.
It wasn't that there was something in his words, but if he followed his statement, it seemed that he really had something to say. Anyway, King Luo Bin felt at this moment that the Shenghou's manor should not be a annexation house.
Thinking this way, King Luo Bin suddenly felt much better.
The reason why this person is suffering is nothing more than material and religious. At this moment, for King Luo Bin, the material pain is being disgusted by these two senior bosses, as shown by Chai Shao's face just now
But this kind of pain is just that, because in the end, at best, you will be dismissed from your job, exiled, or beheaded.
For a young man who was educated by a Confucian gentleman, this is the most insignificant thing in the world!
But it was not without reason that King Luo Bin changed his expression. In addition to this small problem, what made him even more uncomfortable was psychological, that is, religious.
Religion is not just temples, it is narrow things like burning incense and chanting sutras, it is all human "beliefs", and there is really something divine in the content of this belief-usually it is a relatively powerful military or military force.
Cultural leaders, such as Hong Xiuquan, Zhang Jiao, and the various trainee brothers in later generations.
In the final analysis, religion is formed around the charm of personality, no matter what the specific form is.
The essence of Confucian scholars' enthusiasm for values such as valuing loyalty over life and death is not because these values are really great, but because a large number of vivid people have appeared in history around these values.
Values are just totems, and living people are the essence of religion under the layers of skin. It’s just that some are historical figures, such as Sakyamuni, and some may be living people of the same era as believers.
For example, for King Luo Bin at this moment, what is religion? Religion is people, living people, such as seniors like Chai Shao and giants like Li Sheng.
What did the Tang Dynasty rely on to be strong today? It had strong soldiers and horses? Or did it have "technology" that others did not have? Although King Luo Bin could not talk about these things against his will, they were not important. But to King Luo Bin, all these advantages of the Tang Dynasty were
There is a source, in other words, the "advantage" itself is a "product".
The "producers" of this product are military greats like Chai Shao and Li Sheng!
For King Luo Bin, the two people in front of him happened to be the best of the two types of people he admired most.
Especially Li Sheng!
This talent is simply earth-shattering.
When Li Sheng came out, the entire Tang Dynasty was like a completely different country.
Needless to say, Chai Shao's outstanding achievements were a general who was famous all over the world during the Unification War, and it goes without saying how much Chai Shao played a role in the Tang Dynasty's maritime development on the desolate border islands in the south.
.Although, if you really want to talk about it, Chai Shao's role in the opening of the sea in the Tang Dynasty does not seem to be the decisive role.
but!
For a Confucian scholar, a non-determinative role can itself become another decisive role - this kind of dialectical thinking has been clearly proposed in China's ideological circles, but it is just a group of people who watch the fate of the world indifferently.
Taoist priests are mentioning and researching, but they have never been in the mainstream. And this group of Taoist priests has not shown any interest in mainstream society, so they can't do much.
However, one thing that can be said is that Confucius himself was deeply influenced by Laozi, and China's ideological achievements have left their mark on the mainstream Confucian culture in other ways.
For example, in King Luo Bin's opinion, the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty are inseparable from geniuses like Li Sheng. Without such a guy, how could the Tang Dynasty achieve such achievements today?
It is for this reason that even though Li Sheng is now canonized as a prince, King Luo Bin is still more willing to call Li Sheng a holy prince, like many of his seniors, juniors, and colleagues in the army who are enthusiastic about talking about Li Sheng's legendary century.
This is not to say that King Luo Bin does not recognize Li Sheng's current lofty title and transcendent status, but rather that King Luo Bin is more willing to call Li Sheng by the popular title when Li Sheng made his achievements rather than official, salary, and title.
Yes, any man knows this way of acknowledging others, but the way men generally express intimacy is to reveal each other’s dark history, call each other their childhood nicknames, etc. There is no such thing as a saint.
Such kind words are great to hear.
One can imagine how shocked King Luo Bin was when he heard that Li Sheng was engaging in mergers and acquisitions!
More than shocked, simply shocked!
It felt so shocking to have such a shocking thing happen right in front of my eyes... Although King Luo Bin had no idea about a kind of literary and artistic work called "Evil Fall" that would appear in the future, he was still concerned about what Chai Shao said at this moment.
The feeling is that I have undoubtedly witnessed something.
However, after Chai Shao inspired him, King Luo Bin instantly understood what Chai Shao meant.
These frontier places were originally poor and almost barren lands. If the price of manors and other industries in such places could increase thousands of times, then the lives of the people would obviously also increase.
