Chapter 2904: Life is hard to come by, no matter how hard you bow,
Yellow sand is flying.
Lu Bu and others, who were surrounded in the middle, had lost their fighting spirit under Fei Qian's scolding.
The original incomplete and insufficient fighting spirit.
Maybe Lu Bu can claim that he was framed by Fei Qian, or he can try his best to shirk the blame, but no matter how he tries to shirk it, there are still some scapegoats that he just can't get rid of...
Lu Bu fell silent, but his expression did not look remorseful.
But many of the direct guards brought by Lu Bu had already lowered their swords and guns.
This is the power brought by "righteousness".
"Dayi" should be a neutral word, but in later generations it gradually became a derogatory term.
Later generations hate "righteousness". In fact, they don't really reject "righteousness", but they hate those who only talk about "righteousness" but actually do the opposite, just like corrupt officials who talk about integrity, gamblers who talk about virtue, and traitors who talk about "righteousness".
Loyalty and integrity are like this.
There is a line in the nursery rhyme of the Huan Ling Dynasty, "The cold plains are pure and turbid like mud", which is a mockery of all the famous people in the country. In fact, it is normal to flatter each other and gain false fame. Li Gu, the "Famous Second Generation" in the Han Dynasty, wrote to "The Famous Second Generation"
” In Huang Qiong’s letters, he told the other party the sins of celebrities as commonplace things. The two people’s outlook on life had collapsed to the point where they had turned a blind eye to the ugliness and became accustomed to it.
It is more common for gamblers to talk about virtues, such as what kind of gambling products they have, and those who bet on their wives and be willing to lose, etc. As for traitors, it is more common to talk about loyalty. The key to the rise of Neo-Confucianism is that when the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed, other schools of thought fought
When he died, Neo-Confucianism "resolutely surrendered to the enemy" in order to "preserve the seeds of reading", and even said that he really "beared the humiliation and shouldered the burden" so that others would be less embarrassed.
There is also another kind of people in later generations who are against "righteousness". These people are evil in their hearts and full of deceit, so everything they see is fake. These people think that they sacrificed their lives to blow up bunkers because the explosives were coated with 502, and they froze to death in the ice and snow.
It's because the potatoes are filled with anesthetics and so on. They don't believe that someone would really rather die to fight for liberation, nor do they believe that there is really such a thing as a healthy death in the world, so these people have heard all the stories about
If you say "righteousness", you will directly reject it in your heart.
What's the use of this? It's so fake!
Fortunately, Fei Qian is not a descendant at the moment, but is still a big man, and "righteousness" still has a certain effect in everyone's ears.
The private soldiers who followed Lu Bu did not know what was right or wrong, but on the one hand they were somewhat lucky, and on the other hand they were self-comforting.
Now, under Fei Qian's scolding, they have lost their fighting spirit.
Except Lu Bu.
"What do you want?"
Lu Bu asked Fei Qian in a low voice.
Lu Bu still had some doubts in his heart, because he had been betrayed many times, and he had also betrayed others many times, so he was just like the other kind of person mentioned above, not really believing in the so-called "
Righteousness'.
Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu and shook his head slightly. He understood that his previous words could not completely impress Lu Bu, "It's not what I want, but what you want."
Lu Bu stared at Fei Qian, seemingly observing every subtle expression on Fei Qian's face and discerning the secrets contained in it.
Fei Qian's face was neither sad nor happy, but his mind was spinning at high speed. He wanted to change his words, but where was the breakthrough?
"You know my strength, you should know that with such a small distance, if I really want to kill you, no one can stop me..." Lu Bu didn't care at all about the angry looks of Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci who were beside Fei Qian, "
As a warrior, I naturally have the last resort...』
Fei Qian nodded, "If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have to come."
"Then what do you want?!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
Fei Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and he thought of the starting point, "So... you haven't listened all this time... What I want is exactly those things you left behind..."
After hearing Fei Qian's answer, Lu Bu's eyes looked slightly surprised and confused. After a moment, he asked again: "Then why the Western Regions, why me?!"
Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu, "I didn't expect it to be you either. You know, there are not only the Western Region, but also the Northern Region and the Southern Region."
Lu Bu frowned, "You want to deal with them too?"
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Zhao and Liu are doing better than you. Zhao Zilong came from a humble background, and Liu Xuande came from a borderland. As long as they don't forget their original appearance and their original intentions... then it's fine."
Lu Bu exhaled, "After all, it's still my fault! They are good, but I am bad!"
"Is it so simple to be good or bad? Before I went to the Northland, I met Dong Zhongying many times." Fei Qian said slowly, "I also met many Xiliang generals in Luoyang. Of course.
, At that time, the reputation of Xiliang's generals in Luoyang City was not very good, and they did a lot of evil things. But I also know that some of these people were greedy for wine, some doted on concubines, some liked children, and some cherished war horses.
But later, most of these Xiliang generals died..."
"According to the people in Shandong, Dong Zhongying and the Xiliang generals and soldiers under him all deserved their death. It would be best if they all died. But when these people really die, I don't feel that there is anything to be happy about. Like
The man who was greedy for cups died, the man who liked concubines died, the man who let his children ride on his head and laughed and laughed, also died, and the man who treated his war horse like a brother also died... Blood is flowing in this land,
Under this sky, I suddenly found myself very sad..."
Lu Bu frowned, "That's enough!"
Lu Bu's heart trembled, and the shell as hard as iron stone seemed to be trembling and peeling off.
Fei Qian said that others might have feelings for Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu actually didn't feel much because he was against these two people in his heart...
It contradicts everything these two people have.
It's like a naughty child listening to his parents telling him to study hard. Just hearing the word "book" makes him immediately irritable, but giving him an Ipad makes him smile immediately.
Ordinary Bingliang people, perhaps for Lu Bu, the feelings will be more profound.
Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu, shook his head slowly and said, "I'm not saying that you killed Dong Zhongying and caused the death of the Xiliang people... I recall those scenes, and I don't blame you. I, like you, once wanted to
Understand, what is good and what is bad? How can it be called good and how can it be called bad?"
"The soldiers and generals of Xiliang who indiscriminately killed the weak people in Heluo are bad, so in turn, the generals and generals of Xiliang who killed their wives and children indiscriminately are good people or bad people? Dong Zhongying slaughtered the people and ministers. It is certainly bad, but
When Huangfu invaded Yiwu and killed all the Dong family, he also killed Dong Zhongying's concubines, maids and servants... What is good? What is bad? I saw the blood on my hands,
I saw the blood between heaven and earth, and I started asking myself these questions, and I started thinking about these questions."
Fei Qian's voice gradually became doubtful. This kind of doubt is the doubt he feels when standing on Pingyang Peach Mountain and looking at the clouds rolling in and out. It is the doubt he feels when standing in the ruins of Luoyang and looking at the broken eaves and broken walls. It is the doubt he feels about himself and the world.
Doubt is doubt about the past and the future.
"How to take the right path in the world? What is good and what is bad?"
"If we look at morality, killing innocent people indiscriminately is bad, then who in the world doesn't kill people? Thieves kill merchants, squires eat the common people, the emperor kills nine tribes in a rage, and even his own prince kills him at any time!
Believers of gods and Buddhas who forbid killing are beheaded, and the killing knife is in your and my hands! If we were to classify people according to their origins, then the emperors of the Spring and Autumn Period should still exist today! Taizu of the Han Dynasty should have been a pavilion chief!
You and I shouldn’t be here, but working for them in Chang’an, Luoyang, and Shandong!”
Fei Qian's eyes turned from Lu Bu to everyone, and then back to Lu Bu. Lu Bu lowered his head and said, "King Wen is here, I will show you to the sky! But what will happen in the end? Life is not easy, no hesitation! Now!"
I also want to ask you this question, what is good, what is bad, what is right, what is wrong?”
Everyone couldn't help but think about it.
"If there is truth in the world, it should be understood through debate." Fei Qian said, "So I later held a lecture at Qinglong Temple. Then I found more confusing things. Even the books I read were different.
Annotations, so that there are serious scriptures and correct interpretations.』
Fei Qian smiled because he thought of some books from later generations. Some people also repeatedly tested the lower limit and touched the red line. In the end, even "Chen She Family" was deleted for a time...
Why?
Aren't you afraid of "I'd rather have the seed" and "The ambition of the swan"?
It is best to praise Zhou Yafu. Xiliu only knows about generals and not to know about kings and countries. It is also best to mourn and commemorate Emperor Wen of Han who was magnanimous and forbearing and did not kill Zhou Yafu. Stop talking about Wu and Chen every day, which will infiltrate people.
Ah, how scary it is...
Fei Qian looked around, "What exactly are we pursuing in this world?"
"Is it just about eating, drinking and having fun?"
"Then what's the difference between us and animals?"
"If what we are pursuing is to be different from them in Shandong, to find a newer and longer-term road, to change the power of this world, then how can this road and this power distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, good and good?
bad?"
"Later, I figured it out. This road and power are not good or bad. Only those who walk on this road and use these powers can distinguish between good and evil."
"A knife can be used to cut grass and vegetables, or it can be used to kill people. A stick can be used to work and carry burdens, but it can also be used to kill people. The same is true for a stone. The water, earth, wind and fire between heaven and earth
, can be used on living people, and can also be used on killing people.』
"The quality of Zhuanghe's harvest is the result of the farmer's goodness or evil, and the outcome of the battle is the quality of the soldiers. The army will use force, and the officials will use pen and ink to reflect the good and bad, and they are all adapting.
Influence and change this world.』
"The water, earth, wind, and fire in the world are all innocent. Only humans are the spirit of all things and are given the purpose of all things in the world. Therefore, the word "wrong" can only be used for humans. The word "correct" or "wrong" is the so-called good or bad, and only humans.
』
"When a farmer makes a mistake, Zhuang He is killed. When a soldier makes a mistake, he loses the battle. When an official makes a mistake, the people are killed. When a general makes a mistake, the soldiers are killed. The greater the responsibility,
, the more you control, the more careful you have to be and not make mistakes.』
"It's not terrible to make mistakes. What's terrible is that you know you're wrong but don't want to change it. What's more terrible than death is that after death, you will be left with eternal infamy and drag down thousands of innocent people.
.』
Fei Qian said slowly, "I dare not say that what I think of is the right way of heaven and earth, the principles of the world. I can only gain a little bit. This is what I think and what I do. So I also want to
These knowledge about all things in the world and about right and wrong of good and evil tell you. If you think it makes some sense, then you can spread it to other people so that more people can understand this truth."
"Whether it is life, whether it is death, whether it is good or evil, it does not depend on me, but on you."
"Man should contend with heaven, contend with earth, and contend with man."
Fei Qian's words were not at all difficult or obscure, and he did not use any mysterious vocabulary to make any lofty claims. Instead, he slowly told simple and simple truths and showed the world he knew in front of everyone.
As Lu Bu listened, he was attracted unconsciously, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed. The anger that had arisen in his heart for no apparent reason now disappeared for no apparent reason. He felt like
While listening to an eminent monk, no, he explained the true meaning of the world more thoroughly than the eminent monk, he heard Fei Qian's love for the world and compassion for all living beings. His tone was calm but convincing, which is wonderful.
.
Some of the things Fei Qian said have been thought about by everyone, and some have not been considered at all. But no matter what, the things mentioned now are not only related to the current situation, but also seem to be related to the Western Regions and other Han Dynasties.
More places seem to be vaguely connected.
The Gobi desert is so vast, and under this vast sky, that people seem very small. It is precisely because of such a strong contrast between vastness and smallness that it becomes even more great as Fei Qian said. Humans are the most lonely.
Individual, because everyone is me, but everyone is not me. Even in a busy city, there are still people who feel lonely and isolated from the world.
Fei Qian's voice drifted with the wind and sand on the Gobi Desert, and was like the melting stream on the snowy peaks of the icebergs. It moistened everyone's heart, reconnecting everyone together, competing with the sky and the earth.
Fight, fight with others.
The two most important things for people living in this world are the way to understand the world and the ability to change the world.
Lu Bu felt as if his hand was hung with a stone weighing several thousand kilograms, making it difficult to move at all. His eyes were a little hollow and dazed. Occasionally there was a hint of perseverance and brightness, but it instantly turned into the pain of struggle, and then
Constantly intertwined.
Fei Qian did not urge Lu Bu, but watched quietly.
Negative emotions such as fear and struggle gradually disappeared from his heart, and Lu Bu finally felt Fei Qian's sincerity, because there was no need for Fei Qian to deceive him or bewitch him with words at the moment. There was no need at all. If Fei Qian was really
Even if I want him dead, there is no need to see him, or even say so many words and spend so much effort.
Lu Bu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The flames in his anxious heart were completely extinguished. He thought of the breeze on the grassland, the disdain of the people overlooking the mountains, and the names left on the mottled green history.
Possibilities and desires. These seemed to have been forgotten by him for a long time, and were thrown into the corner in the dust.
Now he found these again, and then he tried hard to wipe the stained dirt on them, but found that the more blood stains on them became more and more stained, and the more he wiped them, the dirtier they became. Then he suddenly realized that it was not these stains that were stained with dirt, but the dirt on them.
All his hands were stained with blood!
"I...what have I done?!"
Fang Tian's painted halberd fell to the ground. Lu Bu murmured to himself and stared blankly at his hands. It seemed that Gao Shun's blood was still on them, which was a little warm, but it soon turned cold.
Compared with Lu Bu's confusion, Wei Xu's heart is extremely determined. In other words, Wei Xu's external emptiness in his soul has been blocked by various desires, so that when he listened to Fei Qian's words, he felt like blowing a whistle.
The wind blowing past my ears and the water flowing on the sand seemed to have something, but it was nothing.
"Lord! Don't listen to him!" Wei Xu said urgently in Lu Bu's ear, "He just wants to deceive us and kill us! What are everyone doing? Pick up the knife, pick it up!"
But the surrounding soldiers did not move, like stones in the wind and sand.
"My lord! Captain Cao! Marquis Ma Jun! You idiot!" Wei Xu shouted in panic, and then looked at him blankly, "What's going on, what's going on?!"
Wei Xu glanced towards Fei Qian, and then saw Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci standing on the left and right of Fei Qian, staring at him with bright eyes, and he couldn't help but subconsciously tighten the reins of the horse.
The war horse was frightened, stood up, and barked twice.
The surrounding war horses subconsciously gave way to some space.
Wei Xu's horse hoof fell, and he felt as if there was a sword on his neck. The cold blade was biting and cold. He didn't want to die! He didn't want to die at all! But now his biggest support, the last barrier, seemed to have disappeared.
Lu Bu ignored him at all, and the surrounding soldiers did not respond to him. He fell into extreme fear!
run!
Get out!
Wei Xu took advantage of the gap between the horses to get out of each other's way, so he drove his horses out and fled.
Taishi Ci frowned, stretched his hand back, and grabbed the long bow, but was stopped by Fei Qian.
Nowadays, this is not an age where the world is so big that you can see it as much as you want. If Wei Xu ran away, where could he go? What’s more interesting is that maybe even Wei Xu hasn’t thought clearly in his own head.
His heart blinded by desire has helped him make a decision. The direction of his escape is Xihai City, because Xihai City contains his fun and delicious food, as well as the money he has accumulated.
Another reason is that Fei Qian had considered appointing Taishi Ci as the next Protector of the Western Regions. Since it was possible that Taishi Ci would be appointed, Taishi Ci was not suitable to be stained with the blood of the previous Protector's surrounding soldiers and generals.
This is not to say that Taishi Ci should not be allowed to use thunderbolt methods, but this cannot be an example.
What's more, even Wei Xu himself never thought that once he left Lu Bu's side and lost Lu Bu's protection, he would be worse than a dog.
Is it necessary to kill a dog with a knife?
At most one or two jailers are enough.
or it could be……
When Cao Xing saw Wei Xu running away, he panicked. He had shot Tai Shici with an arrow at Wei Xu's instigation!
Even an arrow without a head is still an arrow!
Ruined!
Cao Xing looked at Lu Bu to his left, and to the fleeing Wei Xu on his right. Then he stumbled off his horse with a pop, and fell to his knees, "The villain is guilty! He is guilty! It was General Wei who instigated the villain, the villain."
Talent...talent...』
Cao Xing took the lead, and the guards and soldiers surrounding Lu Bu also dismounted and knelt on the ground.
Lu Bu seemed to be awakened, looking at everything around him, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he didn't know where he was. After a while, his eyes gathered together again, and then he lowered his head, his neck also
He was bent, even his originally straight waist seemed to be hunched over, and his whole body seemed to have aged ten years.
Lu Bu slowly dismounted and walked in front of his guards and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground. He seemed to stoop a little with every step he took. Finally, he exhaled a long breath and knelt on the ground with a pop, splashing some
Huang Sha, with a hoarse voice, said, "I...the guilty minister pays homage to...the lord..."
