My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 309 We are nobles

Some veterans and loyal people have long been dissatisfied with the smoky atmosphere in the court. These people only talk about making Chu strong and resisting Qin.

But when it comes time to hire people, send out troops, and collect food, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to hide myself.

At this time, the loyal voice in the court became louder.

Others were afraid of this arrogance, and since King Chu was still in charge of the overall situation, they could only retreat temporarily.

Soon, King Chu personally ordered people to invite Xiang Yan.

Negi Chu originally wanted to invite Xiang Yan in person, but he was afraid that he would encounter some danger on the way.

So Ning Chu could only send his confidant eunuch to Xiang Di to invite Xiang Yan back.

Speaking of this, since Yan lost to the crown prince of Qin, he felt ashamed of his elders in Jiangdong, so he resigned and took his family and children back to his old territory - Xiangdi.

This is where the Xiang clan has lived for generations.

However, Xiang Yan, who returned to Xiangdi, could not face the shame of defeat at all, so he became depressed and hid at home in great distress.

After his grandson Xiang Ji left Shouchun and returned to Xiangdi, he was naturally relieved.

From then on, he and his brothers started driving cattle and sheep, hunting dogs, shooting arrows, competing in strength, fighting, taking off their clothes and bathing in the river, and drying their clothes on big rocks.

In his opinion, this kind of life could not be happier.

And he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. He just ate, played and slept all day long.

Half a year later, he looked like a strong little wild boar.

In this era, the most basic difference between people is the difference between those who have enough food and those who do not. If you eat to gain weight and have fat on your body, you are either gifted or born in a noble family.

There are also differences in moral and cultural levels among the nobility.

People who pursue high moral standards disdain to deliberately raise themselves and their offspring to be fat to mark themselves. They have higher requirements for themselves, to make themselves look beautiful and handsome.

People who are indifferent to moral and cultural concepts don't care about this. Anyway, as long as they have money and power, there are people who are willing to bow to them.

There are also some people, even if they are fat, they still have beautiful features. So I don't care about these things at all.

When Xiang Yu grew strong and strong, and his whole face was burnt black and red by the sun, like a wild boar, he could do nothing but use brute force to fuck people, and Xiang Liang saw it. , in line with the principle of 'my brother's son is my son', Xiang Liang chased and beat Xiang Yu every day.

After the beating, they asked the servants and maids to give Xiang Yu the medicine, and at the same time asked Xiang Yu to read and read, and learn how to be a man, lead troops to fight, and behave in the world.

Xiang Yu was beaten almost every few days, but after being beaten, his learning efficiency was one of the best in the entire Xiang land.

One day, Xiang Liang reasoned with Xiang Yu, saying that when you go out, you must learn to observe words and emotions.

Xiang Yu lay on the couch and said disdainfully, "I wouldn't do such a thing."

"If you don't do it, you will suffer a big loss."

"Observe your words and expressions. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to please others? I can't do such a thing."

Xiang Liang was very helpless.

"You're a boy who refuses to study hard and always gives up halfway when practicing martial arts. You just like to work hard. How can you look like a noble?"

Xiang Liang was very angry. He had already decided that teaching children to read, arithmetic, and behave in society was the most difficult thing in the world.

But Xiang Yu was very curious after hearing this.

"Noble? Are you a noble? All the old men and women here call me noble. What is a noble, what is a noble." Xiang Yu was lying on the couch, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, tilting his head and looking at Xiang seriously. beam.

When Xiang Liang heard that they were going to talk about this, he immediately became energetic, "Nobility and disgrace are flowing in the blood. Whether a person is a commoner or a noble is determined from the day he is born. This nobleman is born with the common people. no the same."

"You and I are both nobles. This has been passed down from ancient times. Our family has enjoyed the land for generations and protected the country for the king."

"Xiang is also a distinguished surname."

"We nobles know how to read and write, and enjoy the food and clothing provided by the common people. This is a gift from God."

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up as he listened.

"Am I so powerful?"

"Silly boy, do you know that your birth into our Xiang family is a blessing achieved in your previous life. But your character is too naughty. If you don't correct it in time, you will become a commoner in the future, which will end our centuries-old aristocratic family. It’s in your hands.”

"There are originally high and low people in the nobility. Some people live for the benefit of the country, some live for their own selfish desires, and some forget the teachings of their ancestors and slowly decline."

"If you don't reflect on your own actions and only know how to fight, you will definitely suffer in the future. Although as nobles, we enjoy things that common people cannot enjoy. The leadership of sacrifices, the vast fiefdom, the power of reading and literacy, and so on. "

"But being a noble does not mean that we can act recklessly. As a noble, you must learn to be a gentleman, not a useless person."

It's rare for Xiang Yu to listen so carefully

"gentleman?"

"It's what I taught you. You must be honest and honest with others and yourself." Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu. He knew that this kid was going out to do bad things in his name all day long. , today he has to cure this kid's problem.

Xiang Yu listened and admitted his mistake.

"Actually, I peed in my grandfather's wine glass the day before yesterday."

Xiang Liang took a deep breath as he listened. He could no longer think of anything to say to educate Xiang Yu.

"You'd better stay here."

Xiang Liang has long been accustomed to Xiang Yu who "doesn't have enough oil and salt" and doesn't have much hope for Xiang Yu.

Whether the Xiang family can regain its glory in the future, such a career can only fall on his shoulders.

Xiang Yu, this nephew, can only be his thug from now on.

Xiang Liang didn't pay attention to what he said today, but Xiang Yu made a mistake and only kept in mind the principle that a gentleman should take integrity as his top priority.

As the saying goes, if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.

Because of this reason, Xiang Yu slowly began to correct his mistakes later.

He never lied again without opening his mouth.

Children, there are many people who tell lies with their eyes open.

And Xiang Yu, a young man who took the initiative to realize that integrity is the foundation of being a nobleman, embarked on a path of striving to be a gentleman.

Xiang Yu began to no longer be so disgusted with the principles that he had scorned in the past. Although he still didn't like to learn, he began to discipline himself with the virtues of a gentleman.

A person's destiny is often changed inadvertently.
