The dragon-slaying warrior eventually turns into an evil dragon. This is a well-used meme. It's so stupid.
But this silly joke contains a very helpless and painful fact.
For the sake of the villagers, the dragon slayer went through untold hardships and nine deaths, and was scarred until he finally killed the evil dragon.
The villagers rejoiced and cried with joy, calling the dragon slayer a hero.
But in just one day, the adoring smiles of the villagers turned into expressions of awe, the expressions of awe turned into looks of fear, and the looks of fear turned into vigilant malice.
The dragon slayer can defeat even the evil dragon, so he is more powerful than the evil dragon.
The powerful evil dragon eats our villagers, so will the dragon slayer who is more powerful than the evil dragon one day...
People's malice is the main reason why the dragon slayer turned into an evil dragon.
This is the human heart, the most despicable human nature.
In Changjing, representatives of diplomatic missions from various countries came to meet the prince who was supervising the country.
The Dachang Dynasty should not go to war without declaring it.
The Dachang Dynasty was a state of etiquette.
The Dachang Dynasty should not send warships and naval troops to the territory of Yingdao without any reason.
If you ask today's Changjing, today's court, what else would civil servants find trouble with Chu Qing, then there is only one thing.
Question the Confucian belief in benevolence, wisdom and etiquette!
This is the basis for the survival of civil servants!
This is what Confucian scholars believe is the basis for governing the world!
This is the basis for all scholars to clearly distinguish the four classes of soldiers, farmers, workers and merchants!
To put it more simply, it is the biggest reliance on ensuring their superiority.
I am not as hard-working as a "farmer", but I am a public servant, a scholar, and an official. You must listen to me. This is determined by my status.
I don't have "work" skills, but I am a public servant, a scholar, and an official.
I am not a "businessman" and have money, but I am an official!
Nothing is important. The most important thing is that I am above you and have you firmly in my hands.
Next to the dragon chair, Chang Yu, wearing a unicorn robe, has an expressionless face. The young prince already looks a bit majestic as an emperor.
The bruised and swollen Uchigami Shichiro cried out about the tyranny and cruelty of the Three Ways of the East China Sea. The Goguryeo envoys expressed their dissatisfaction in blunt Chinese. Many Ban tribes in Nanguan were chattering. All the envoys were using different methods to "blackmail" the Dachang Dynasty.
.
Not with hostages, not with force, not with a very ridiculous way that makes Chang people look ridiculous and makes Chang people laughable.
You believe in Confucianism.
You are generous and kind.
You are the king of heaven.
This kind of coercion is to put oneself in an extremely low moral position, allowing Dachang Dynasty to stand on the commanding heights of morality and find it difficult to get down due to its "morality".
The envoys said that they had inquired clearly. Before the war, Chu Qing did not discuss with the court at all, and it was considered a "private" act. So where are the laws of the Dachang Dynasty, and where are the monarchs and ministers?
Dachang Dynasty is the most moral gentleman they have ever seen. Now, a moral gentleman will be stigmatized. Let's turn around and call Chu Qing back. Dachang Dynasty will continue to be a moral gentleman. If we don't be a moral gentleman, where can we be?
There are advantages to be taken advantage of.
Even the Goguryeo envoys were like this.
Originally, there had always been a gap between Goguryeo and Yingdao. Goguryeo should be happy when the three ships from the East China Sea went to Yingdao.
In fact, this is not the case. Goguryeo hopes that Yingdao will set foot on the land of Chang Dynasty, not that Chang Dynasty will set foot on Yingdao.
Because the comprehensive national power of Dachang Dynasty is stronger than that of Yingdao, judging from the current situation, if Dachang takes the initiative, it is really possible to destroy Yingdao, but Yingdao is not capable of destroying Chang Dynasty.
Dachang destroyed Yingdao, which was not what Goguryeo wanted to see.
It is worth mentioning that there are always some countries and some people who think they "don't have enough time."
This lack of time is just ridiculous arrogance and self-deception.
Arrogant people believe that if you give us another five years, give us ten years, give us a hundred years, we will definitely become the most powerful people and the most powerful country on the face of the earth.
Humiliation, as long as you grit your teeth and keep chasing, you can surpass it.
This is a very ridiculous thing. Compromising, crotch humiliation, and all these things that slowly abandon dignity are actually meaningless, because not everyone and every country in the world will stand still and wait.
You surpass him.
What’s even more ridiculous is that many people think that the other party is getting weaker, but they don’t know that they are the ones who are really getting weaker. A strong person will always have dignity. Without dignity, he is not worthy of being called a strong person. The tiger has been pretending to be a cat for a long time.
, and really turned into a cat.
"East China Sea…"
Chang Yu, the prince of the prison country, uttered two words lightly, and his immature but firm eyes swept over many envoys, including some surrendered tribes on the grassland.
After pondering for a long time, the prince suddenly said softly: "The imperial uncle once taught King Langya that dignity only exists on the edge of the sword, and truth lies within the range of the gunpowder crossbow."
Many ministers looked at each other in confusion. Only Nangong Xi and others knew what a magical weapon this was.
Chang Yu stood up and stood in front of Yu'an. He looked at the envoys from various forces and gradually raised his voice: "East China Sea, every inch of land, every inch of blood, a palm of sand, and every withered bone."
Uchi Shendai cried and said: "Dear His Royal Highness, those are wandering thieves, they boarded the privateer ship..."
"Listen to what Gu said." Chang Yu interrupted with a smile: "A gentleman, practice the six arts, etiquette, music, shooting, imperialism, calligraphy, and counting. This shooting is the art of archery. I, Dachang, the gentleman of the country, since I am a gentleman,
You have to learn the six arts and learn this shooting. Do you know, gentleman, why you want to learn this shooting?"
"Your Highness..."
"Because people's hearts are sinister, because not everyone is a humble gentleman, and because not every country is a gentleman, when our people treat them with courtesy and humility, they end up with ulterior motives, malice, and evil.
Malice, in exchange for slaughtering the people of my Dachang Dynasty, then shoot, the six arts of a gentleman are the six arts, not the five arts, not the four arts, let alone the three arts. No matter whether it is a man or I, the Dachang Dynasty, I am a gentleman, but not
Dogmatic fools, if we don’t fight, it’s not because we are timid. If we don’t fight, we will do it. If we fight, we will fight to the death!”
With a cold look on his face, Chang Yu said loudly: "You, Yingdao, are the ones who started the war. You must wait within three days and leave Changjing. Within thirty days, leave our land of Dachang and go back to your Yingdao. Uchishen takes you seriously."
I thought that Gu was a three-year-old boy, and all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were here. How dare you use the excuse that privateering ships are not under the jurisdiction of your Yingdao court to bully the ministers, bully Gu, and bully me, Dachang? Then fight, each one will do what he wants.
This is a matter of fighting to the death and resting until the death!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you misunderstood, no, no..."
Uzhi Shendai was really frightened. At this moment, a group of civil servants came out and knelt on the ground. Before he could speak, Changxian narrowed his eyes.
"Before you open your mouth, you must think carefully. If you dare to say that the emperor's uncle secretly went into the army, I will take away your official position!"
The expressions of all the civil servants changed.
Chang Yu's face became colder and colder: "Where is General Qin Gang of the Zhu Kingdom!"
"The old minister is here."
Qin Gang quickly left the team and Chang Yu said: "There is no war in Beiguan. Two battalions were mobilized to garrison Xunyang Road. Xunyang Road turned to Chongfu and merged into the 16th garrison. Three battalions were mobilized from the Beijing camp.
His general, Commander-in-Chief Tan Zhongping, went to the three roads in the West to unify the drills of the three roads at Zhechong Mansion and to inspect the full payment of military rations and salaries to the three roads. The Ministry of War drafted a document today and sent it to the southern border pass, ordering the commander-in-chief of Nanguan.
Ma Rujing is responsible for guarding the gates and sealing the city, and the commander of the cavalry and archery battalion is Fei Gong. He is responsible for inspecting the full distribution of food and salary for the three groups, and is in charge of the training of Zhechong Mansion."
All the officials were in an uproar, and even Qin Gang hesitated.
Chang Yu did not wait for anyone to speak, and continued to speak loudly: "The scientific examination is about to be held. Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, is in charge. Cao Shangshu is in charge, and Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is the assistant. The scientific examination is to select and recruit talents for the country and the dynasty. Talents,
Since the more the merrier is better, anyone who has studied for three years, has read the Four Books and Five Classics familiarly, and acquired the Six Arts of a Gentleman, can take part in the imperial examination, regardless of age!"
The expressions of the civil servants changed drastically, and Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, was shaken.
Trembling, Cao Wu walked out with a complicated look on his face.
"My lord, now I am very old and old..."
"Okay, I'm done."
Before Cao Wu could finish speaking, Chang Yu had already issued an imperial order: "Since Cao Shangshu has more than enough ambition but lacks strength, I will allow you to retire and return to your hometown. I feel sorry for the country, and feel sorry for the father and emperor.
In this matter, Qiu Wanshan, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, is in charge, and Jiang Yuesheng, the commander of Qianqiying, is in charge, and the court is dismissed!"
Cao Wu felt like he was struck by lightning.
What, what is this? I want to say that I am too old to take charge of scientific examinations. What the hell am I going to retire and return home?
Also, even if you misunderstood, this is too...not taking me seriously, right? Just a word of regret, a word of regret, and that's it. Forty plus years of work have been in vain?
The prince had already left the political hall with the accompanying eunuchs, his young face full of disdain.
The emperor's uncle was right. In the Dachang Dynasty, everything was lacking, except for people who wanted to cut their heads and become officials. As Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said, if you don't want to do it, just get out, go home, and wait to be finished!
Chu Qing, the dragon slayer, was finally portrayed as an evil dragon.
It's just that Chu Qing is very lucky, because although the villagers want to portray him as an evil dragon, the whole family, including the village chief, are all his relatives. He is an evil dragon. What can you do!
