Chapter 309: The clan system, the sword comes out with the aurora (4k)
Hierarchy? Clan system? Unexpectedly, Song Que actually had the consciousness to oppose these? Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and his evaluation of the Song family increased by several points, and he quickly understood the reasons.
Since the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of evolution, society has been differentiated and various privileged classes have been formed. At the top are the scholars, followed by the people who are registered as households, the third is the dependents, and the bottom is the slaves.
Scholars are also divided into noble and lowly people from aristocratic families and ordinary people from poor families. They are very different from each other. The division between them is extremely strict and cannot be confused.
The family has a majestic position and enjoys an absolutely superior position in politics. It has "traditional classics" and "legends of etiquette". Its economic power is extremely strong and it occupies all the main resources of the country. The succession of dynasties and power has always been a key issue.
happen around them.
In an era when the clan system was prevalent, family reputation became the highest criterion for measuring status. This privilege created a group of corrupt, ignorant, high-ranking disciples who only pursued fame and fortune, dressed in exotic clothes, enjoyed extravagant pleasures, entertained and feasted, and competed with each other.
They live in another world of drunken dreams and death. The rise and fall of the country becomes distant and unrealistic. They put family first in everything. They regard themselves as superior to others. They regard poor people and commoners as destined to work for them, and they are left to their own devices.
Flagellation of lowlifes.
The incompetence of the rulers and the inequality between the rich and the poor have led to increasingly serious land annexation. Fertile land has been concentrated in the hands of local tyrants and powerful people. Corruption and corruption have followed. Officials and tycoons have colluded to seal off mountains and lakes, hindering the people's governance and causing people to be displaced.
Hungry corpses cover the fields, and the people have no way to survive.
There is an insurmountable gap between the two classes, the high family and the poor family. The rift between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no communication or dialogue. The noble family has formed an interest group, occupying all the most important resources of the country, and treats the poor family as slaves who can be trampled on at will.
The commoners from poorer families and lower classes were oppressed and exploited, and their resentment deepened. Only on the battlefield could they have the opportunity to rise through military exploits, such as the current period of war in the late Sui Dynasty.
In the eyes of many poor people and ordinary people, the children of high-ranking families are very respectful to those who help them when they are fighting for the world. However, after winning the world, they are not just like birds and their bows. They are born in a powerful and wealthy family.
How can you care about the life and death of the people below?
Therefore, these people who were once oppressed by the powerful clans are often more willing to take refuge in the leaders of the rebel army, such as Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande, etc.
Du Fuwei et al.
For example, in the original work, Kou Zhong formally set his ambition to conquer the world. He fell in love with Li Xiuning of the Li family for no reason, and felt that the other party ignored him, so he wanted to use any means to improve his strength and status. Ultimately, it was also a matter of peace between the powerful family members.
Caused by civil relations.
On the whole, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also a story about the rise of Shuanglong, two people from the bottom of society, breaking through class restrictions and becoming the top master in the world.
Among today's powerful clans, the Song clan's attitude towards people of ordinary origin is undoubtedly the best. Song Que, Song Lu, Song Shidao and others all have no problems with their character. They are impartial in their conduct and do not rely on their origins at all.
the meaning of.
In Zhao Qing's view, the founder of the Song Clan was Song Beifeng, the leader of Xie Xuan's family generals in "The Legend of the Frontier". He was a very good character himself and had the idea of resolving conflicts between the Han clan in the high clan. It can be said that he left a good legacy
inherited;
Song Que himself, through ten battles against the Sui army, integrated all the power of the family, and relied on business to make the Song clan the richest power in the world in decades. His own ability was still above that of the family, and he was not much affected by it.
family constraints;
Under this circumstance, he noticed the shortcomings of the corrupt clan system in the Southern and Chen Dynasties, and he thought about it from the resentment of Song Shidao. With the mentality of "forgetting the sword after getting it", he naturally came up with some reform ideas.
It's not surprising.
In fact, in the original work, Song Que decisively disbanded the power of the Song clan after Gao Zhong gave up the fight for hegemony. This shows that he did not insist on the clan system, causing the entire Song family to withdraw not only from the court, but also from the world, giving up on the Song Dynasty.
The mountain city has turned into a common people.
"Dragon Fighting in the Wild", Song Shidao's grandson Song Kui is pursuing Song Que in his swordsmanship, but he is unwilling to become famous and has a low-key style. It can be seen that the descendants of the Song family do not want to be involved in disputes anymore, and they have the same nature as other high-ranking nobles.
difference on.
Speaking of which, a person's attitude towards ordinary people often depends on his original origin and current status, so as to develop corresponding empathy.
Like Zhao Qing himself, he was an ordinary person in the beginning. He may be almost invincible in the Tang Dynasty world, but after returning to the main world, he is not a big shot and his sense of security is very limited.
Therefore, when she has the ability, she is willing to make the ordinary people here live a better life, so that she can live up to her heart. The decadent clan system that monopolizes the common people's upward path is naturally one of the objects she plans to clean up next.
As for the hierarchical system of superiority and inferiority, the more advanced you practice, the more you will understand your insignificance in front of the heaven, earth and universe, so how can you develop a condescending mentality?
In addition, Song Que's attitude towards foreign barbarians is completely in line with Zhao Qing's views and has been verified in history.
Li Shimin's grand ideal of "all Chinese, barbarians, and Di, love each other as one" sounds very moving and is in line with the trend of national integration. However, as Song Que said, if you let down your guard against the barbarians, it will easily lead to disasters and real conflicts.
Long term division.
The Anshi Rebellion, which turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and later the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, as well as the Song Dynasty's inability to regain the north, are the best examples.
However, unlike Song Que who insisted on Han unification due to the threat of foreign tribes, in her opinion, as long as there is enough force to completely subdue the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall without leaving any remaining trouble, and achieve true assimilation, there is no need to worry about problems.
.
After destroying the Turks, Tuyuhun and other grassland and plateau countries, without the intervention of external forces, these Hu people, who were actually descendants of Yan and Huang at first, were able to fully recognize their ancestors and become members of China.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Zhao Qing knew that Song Que had sensed his position and was riding towards him. He had no thoughts of victory or defeat in his mind, but only wanted to confirm the problem in the way of the sword.
The ice sword, which had already flown to the area where Song Que and his party were, followed her thoughts and quickly made a large circle, drawing an arc of light that illuminated the night sky, heading towards the direction of Song Que's movement.
After creating the "sword fetus" and improving her mental cultivation again, she used a separate mana consciousness to merge with the sword intention, and settled in the sword body, simulating some kind of annihilation of the first six consciousnesses and entering annihilation.
The state of concentration magnifies the effect of spiritual power.
Coupled with the understanding of the light system and the energy of yin and yang, using invisible infrared light as the medium to transmit energy, the effective distance of controlling the flying sword has experienced a huge increase, jumping from more than a hundred feet to more than ten miles in one fell swoop.
range.
If we describe it in terms of realm, it is quite similar in effect to the realm of "getting and forgetting" that transcends "getting the sword" and "forgetting the sword".
The story of the chef deconstructing an ox is a fable written by the ancient sage Zhuang Zhou. It tells the story of a chef who is good at slaughtering oxen. He inserts a thin blade into the gaps between the bones and flesh, so he can easily solve the problem. For the oxen chef,
It's not that the cow is not there, it's just that he has entered the state of not knowing everything about the cow.
The so-called "forgetting the sword" is the state of not knowing what the sword is after you get it. The person is the sword and the sword is the person. The Tao state of "no one can see the whole cow" has advanced to the state of "forgetting both the man and the cow".
When things are poor, things will be reversed, when Tao is poor, they will change. In the sky and on the earth, you cannot look up or down. "Forgetting the sword" is the ultimate in the way of swordsmanship. The extreme is poverty. How can it be between "getting the sword" and "forgetting the sword"?
Endless.
Each sword is focused on the strength of the whole body and soul, which is "getting the sword". When everything goes according to nature, the sword and the heaven and earth are one, and no one is selfless, it is called "forgetting the sword". It can be between "getting the sword" and "forgetting the sword".
"Between the knife" and grasping the power of oneself and the world at the same time is the next level of "between gain and forgetfulness".
The flying sword that Zhao Qing is currently displaying has reached the level of mobilizing his own power and the power of heaven and earth. Even though it is far away from the main body, it still has extremely amazing power, which is enough to compete with Song Que's heavenly sword.
It circled back to the position five miles outside Liyang City. The tip of the thin and crystal-clear ice sword was fine-tuned. The seven rainbow lights surrounding it flashed back like waterfalls on both sides again, forming thousands of lines of light and shadow, as if an incomparable light appeared on the horizon.
Brilliant Aurora.
In the eyes of a large number of Jianghuai troops who retreated to the barracks like a tide, a colorful streamer slowly dancing in the hands of the legendary goddess suddenly appeared.
Falling to the ground.
While seeing this gorgeous scene, Song Que's eyes also lit up with unprecedented brilliance, and he sensed the nature of the light in front of him with an unimaginable intuition. He knew clearly that this was an attack from Zhao Qing, but his expression still remained.
He was calm and composed, and seemed not to be surprised.
Ignoring the surrounding Jianghuai soldiers who were surprised and hostile by his sudden appearance, he clamped his legs around the horse's waist, and the white horse under him raised its head and neighed angrily. It suddenly accelerated to the limit and faced the aurora like a bolt of lightning.
It rushed away in the direction.
Accompanied by the sound of thunderous hooves, Song Que reached an unimaginable high speed on the horse that he had temporarily imbued with powerful energy, easily breaking through the obstruction of Jianghuai's army. At the same time, he slowly and steadily reached back to take out the knife and gave it to him.
People have a strange feeling of movement and stillness blending into one.
He simply takes out the sword and draws it out, but every minute and every inch of movement is maintained at the same speed, and the speed remains balanced. If Du Fuwei, the third master on the field, sees it clearly, he will definitely be stunned.
I was stunned and in disbelief.
It is very rare to know that people's movements can generally maintain a certain speed. It is important to know that any movement is composed of countless movements connected in series. How can there be some differences between movements?
The series of movements of the knife, each movement like a repeated mold of the previous one, is an incredible miracle in itself.
Song Que's action of drawing out the sword is as if it is integrated with the heaven and earth and the deeper essence that is always hidden behind it. It is full of the flavor of constant change and ever-changing. There is no gap or flaw to be found, which makes people feel that he is following his move.
The first sword that comes from this move will definitely shock the world and make the ghosts and gods weep. It has no beginning and no end.
At this point, the way of the sword has reached an unpredictable level. From this, it can be seen that when Song Que faced the flying sword coming at extremely high speed, he completely entered the level of "getting the sword and then forgetting it", and then became one with the world. Not only did he have no sword,
, there is no one left, only the soul of nothingness after the union of heaven, earth and man.
The entire heaven and earth are extending, the earth under your feet expands to infinity, and the sky that has existed since ancient times covers the earth. For Song Que, he himself is the focus and center that connects the heaven and earth, as if he has become an immovable rock.
In and out of existence, heaven, earth and man merge into one.
Forgetting the brilliant aurora piercing the night sky in front of him, forgetting victory and defeat, Song Que's mind became one with the illusion of heaven and earth. The true energy in his body was surging and endless, just like heaven and earth without limits, and with the stars above and below.
The fields merged into one, blending into the darkness.
"Keng!" The heavenly sword was unsheathed, and everything could only be described with one word.
At a high speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, the Heavenly Sword snaps out of its sheath and turns into a lightning-like rainbow, streaking across two feet of void. It continuously makes mysterious changes that are so mysterious and wonderful that it is beyond any description, yet it snaps without any pretense.
At the edge of the ice sword.
"Boom!" The energy surged across the sky, stirring up dust all over the sky. The charging white horse was still galloping, but Song Que, who was originally riding it, strangely appeared in the air, his whole body like a top.
It spins and flies in the air to use up the remaining force from the collision.
The seven-color rainbow light carried by the crystal ice sword seemed to stop suddenly, but it seemed to expand into a bright ball of light. Countless lights of various colors inside were constantly refracted and reflected, covering an area of dozens of feet in an instant.
range.
Separated by a distance of six or seven miles, in addition to the limited energy transmission and mobilization, how to smoothly sense every nuanced change of the opponent under such circumstances is also a very important difficulty. The ice sword unfolds
The light ball is exactly the means it uses for exploration.
As for the ability to trap the soul contained in the light, it does not pose much of a threat to top masters like Song Que, whose minds are extremely determined and whose souls are one with the heaven and earth.
After all, this is only an effect derived from the "Sword Embryo" technique. It is far less powerful than Zhao Qing's "Five Yun Burying Heart Sword" at close range, and is closer to an illusion. There is no special power that blocks the senses.
And inside the ice sword, which was difficult for Song Que to observe, the tiny cracks were filled with a soft glow, and they returned to their original state in an instant.
It can be seen from this that the heavenly sword weighing a hundred kilograms and made of dark iron collided with each other. Even with Zhao Qing's ability, the sword body was still inevitably damaged. But looking at Song Que's situation with the help of horse power.
She still had to abandon her horse and give up her strength, but she was undoubtedly the winner by half.
Within the ball of light that was so brilliant that it could burn the eyes of an expert, the ice sword returned to its peak state, completely turning into a weightless light smoke that flashed like a god. It merged with thousands of illusory sword shadows of light and moved towards Song Que.
He was pursued from his position.
After flying back for more than ten feet, Song Que suddenly froze in the air. He quickly fell down like a nail and landed on the ground. The simple and dark sky knife in his hand sank slightly and pointed upwards. The blade could not help but tremble, but
It didn't cause any breaking noise, and it didn't feel the slightest bit of sword energy.
Every subtle change is integral and follows the pull of the Qi machine to respond to the unpredictable light of the ice sword to ensure that the moment of final impact is still the same as when the sword was drawn before.
The sword will push the power of the sword to its most powerful moment without delay.
His mind was clear and clear, without victory or defeat, without joy or fear. The heavenly sword suddenly drew into the void, the light of the sword flashed, and all the vitality and death energy of the world were concentrated on the blade. The stars and moon in the sky immediately dimmed, as if they were competing with the ice sword.
The rays of light emitted complement each other.
Under the influence of the Forgotten Sword Realm, the Heavenly Sword is no longer a heavy weapon weighing a hundred kilograms, but is as light as a flying feather. The strangest thing is that it moves unsteadily. It seems to be attacking one point, but in fact it covers the sky and the earth, making
Those locked by the sword energy have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
