History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 198 Lecture·Chu people are vulgar
year!
Breaking through the disease of wind and cold, and the feeling of lamentation, it occupied the highest position in the hearts of Chu people for the first time.

But the voice that made Chu people lament came again, and it still made Chu people sigh.

This time, the King of Chu was no longer responsible for the mourning.

More importantly, why are Chu people so rude?
"Why are Chu people so rude?"

Feng Yun was walking on the streets of Yingdu. It had just been the New Year. It seemed that because of his youth, people were in high spirits during happy events, and the sick energy had been dissipated a lot.

On the streets and among the neighbors, there are people going out to walk and work, so as to add to their homes and survive the cold spring.

spring……

"Fengzi, after the Zhou royal family received the envoys, they laughed and knocked over a brazier, saying that Chu Ze could be rewarded with this brazier. The ancestors of Chu were just fire-watchers and lacked courtesy, so they could not be promoted to nobility. Let Chu become It’s a joke.”

"Now, people in all countries know about this, and it has become a song and spread to the Chu Kingdom."

Zhaoyang said on the side, with a sad look in his eyes and a hint of chill.

But there is no choice. The words of one's own country are fine, but the words of other countries cannot be suppressed by Chu Jun.

"When I was young, these words made Chu people feel uncomfortable."

Feng Yun looked around. Chu people moved quickly. Although they met for many years and felt grateful for Chu Jun's kindness, they also avoided talking about etiquette.

"Chu people are probably doubting whether they are polite now."

Feng Yun's eyes were clear, looking at the world and thinking.

"Let's go."

Hearing this, Zhaoyang guards and Feng Yun continue walking on the street.

Zhaoyang asked aloud: "Fengzi, where are you going to give lectures? Do you want Chu to arrange a palace for you?"

Feng Yun shook his head.

"My lectures are for the people of Chu, not just for those who can enter the palace."

Not long after walking, Feng Yun saw several children playing under a jujube tree. Their faces were red and their eyes were full of joy.

Laughter brings joy to the surroundings.

"Go sit for a while."

Feng Yun took Zhaoyang to sit next to the jujube tree and watched the children playing.

These children are curious about Feng Yun's arrival, but they are also cautious.

"Are you a scholar?"

There are children approaching, holding snowballs in their hands and looking forward to it.

Feng Yun nodded slightly.

The cold wind blew, and the child shivered with cold and seemed to sneeze.

Feng Yun caressed his hand, and a warm wind blew past him, turning the cold wind away.

"Wow..." The child was surprised, with stars shining in his eyes on his untidy little face.

"Er Hong, come here." The older children ran over and wanted to take Er Hong away.

Erhong breaks free.

He said to Feng Yun: "Sir, can you speak to your Majesty?"

"Erhong likes you because you gave us years!"

year……

Feng Yun nodded.

"Jun Chu will know."

"Mr. Chu?" The children around him were cautious.
"You are not from Chu country?" Otherwise, how could you talk about Chu Jun.

"I don't have a country. I came here after traveling and am a guest of Chu State." Feng Yun answered truthfully.

"Then can you still see your Majesty?" Erhong asked simply confused.

"If Mr. Chu wants to see me, he can still do so."

Erhong pouted: "Have you seen that before?"

Feng Yun shook his head.

"Not yet."

"Then you won't see me anymore." Erhong was disappointed.

Feng Yun smiled but didn't answer.

Zhaoyang on the side seemed to understand what Feng Yun meant. Feng Yun wanted to give lectures here, starting with these children.

He said: "If Fengzi wants to see me, I can naturally see you, Your Majesty."

Fengzi!

The children were shocked.

"You are Fengzi!"

Some of the children among them were angry.

Because it was rumored among the Chu people that it was Feng Yun’s advice that made the King of Chu let King Yang Yue go.

This led to the failure of the Chu people to be promoted to nobility, and also brought about the brazier joke of Emperor Zhou, saying that Chu was a fire-watching barbarian!
Seeing the changes in the children's expressions, Feng Yun's expression did not change.

"Fengzi!"

A girl's voice was heard, and a gorgeous carriage was seen approaching. A strong man got out of the car and hugged Mi Yue.

This voice came from Miyue.

After that, this strong and majestic man took Mi Shu down and walked together under the jujube tree.

"Fengzi." Mi Shu took Mi Shu and saluted Feng Yun.

Zhaoyang moved slightly, but saw that the strong man was wearing casual clothes, so he didn't say anything.

"Fengzi, when I heard that you were going to give a lecture, Sister Shu and I begged my father to bring us here."

"Feng Zi'an." Mi Yue said, and the strong man gave Feng Yun a slight salute, which was polite but not dissatisfied, just showing respect.

It's Mr. Chu...

Feng Yun returned the gift, just like the other party.

"What are you going to say?" Chu Jun said.

When Feng Yun heard this, he looked at the group of children from earlier.

The anger was hidden in his eyes and he didn't dare to speak.

"Let's talk about the courtesy of Chu people."

"When I was in the Palace of Classics, I found out a lot about Chu people and learned a lot about Chu people's etiquette."

"At first, it was really 'vulgar'."

As soon as Feng Yun's words came out, the people around him frowned.

"What do you mean, Chu people are so vulgar!"

A child's angry voice contradicted Feng Yun.

And his voice also attracted the attention of people around him.

"You can't just belittle our Chu country just because of your reputation!"

Fengzi?

Belittle the state of Chu?

With such words, people around him came closer. After knowing that Feng Yun wanted to give a lecture and also talked about the courtesy of Chu people, the news spread in all directions, and many Chu people gathered around.

Feng Yun was not afraid of this.

And Zhaoyang looked at Chu Jun.

The man shook his head.

"Today, I am just here to listen and learn."

Zhaoyang understands.

And Feng Yun continued: "Isn't it vulgar?"

he asked the child.

"Then do you know what the original Chu State was like? If you don't know, why can you conclude that Chu State is not vulgar?"

The child's arrogance froze.

He really didn't know what the original Chu State was like.

It is no longer easy for common people to work as farmers and have enough to eat. Even if they have the heart to pray for the rites, the rites have never come to them.

In the beginning... history, only the powerful could know it from bamboo slips, and even some unqualified powerful people didn't know it.

"Beautiful jade needs people to appreciate it in order to show its beauty, and what is removed or carved away is often ugly and unattractive to people."

“If the people of Chu were not vulgar back then, why would the Chu State hide it and not let the people of Chu know about it now?”

Facing Feng Yun's questioning, these children and the onlookers were speechless.

The look of shame and anger in his eyes became even heavier.

"Fengzi, you're here to make fun of me!" Someone said angrily.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"Do you know that Chu people really despised me back then, so you just said that I laughed at Chu people?"

"And do you know why the Kingdom of Zhou sneered at the Chu people and was embarrassed by it?"

Feng Yun asked again, but no one around him could answer.

Because they don't know anything.

Look at the confused Chu people.

Feng Yun laughed and said: "It's ridiculous. I don't know why I feel proud, I don't know why I feel ashamed, I feel ashamed because of other people's words, and I feel angry because I can't understand the shame."

As soon as Feng Yun's words came out, the faces of the Chu people around him became more and more ashamed.

But it was embarrassing and awkward to say it.

Someone was angry and punched.

But with Zhaoyang on his side, no one could move, and they were all subdued.

"How dare you act barbarian in front of Fengzi!"

Zhaoyang scolded him coldly, and those people were intimidated by the momentum behind him and did not dare to do it again.
