History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 37: The state values ​​the people, and the people value the country

Finished!

Feng Yun's eyes flickered, a breath of energy dissipated, and his eyes were like bright moons and stars.

hum!
I just feel the breath surge in my chest, and my mind roars like waves.

One after another, the air flows into one's life points, disperses into the soul, and finally gathers in the center of consciousness!
"The literati have reached the state of becoming a streamer and are truly aliens!"

In a daze for a moment, Feng Yunshang had not yet recovered from this breakthrough.

"Is it that simple?"

"Buzz!" There was another clear cry, but the literary spirit appeared on the silk book, like a mist like a curtain, and the image of an iron rope could be vaguely seen.

Soon, the literary spirit converged and disappeared into the seal script on the silk script.

The seal script is faintly grand, but as the literary style fades, it becomes simple.

Feng Yun felt this in his heart, so he wrote on the silk book - we share the same plan - we share the same boat, and the small one falls to the big one.

If we live together and share sorrows, those who live together share the same joys; those who share the same sorrows share the same sorrows.

Only sharing common interests without sharing is a policy used in times of common crisis. Once the crisis is resolved and people's minds change, the alliance should be severed immediately...

And Feng Yun also emphasized that the small one can fall into the big one. Once it falls into the country of Yue, it will destroy its evil; once it falls into the country of Wu, it will avoid its greed.

In this way, this strategy is successful.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any animal skins?"

Feng Yun hurried out. My sister-in-law was mending clothes. When she heard Feng Yun's voice, she immediately said, "What can I do with the yellow sheepskin?"

"Your Majesty will call me to serve as an official tomorrow. I wrote something and wanted to submit it in silk, so I came to find an animal skin to make a statement."

"Your Majesty?"

"Bring me the silk book, and I'll sew it for you right now!"

My sister-in-law is illiterate, but she seems to be able to read the words on the silk book, which makes her feel like she is in a mist, making her feel dizzy.

"Take it, you can be careful about your answers tomorrow." Handing the silk book to Feng Yun, my sister-in-law didn't ask any more questions.

"I know the pros and cons, so please don't tell me."

"Don't worry, I'll wait until you fall in your eyes and step into the court."

After everything was done, Feng Yun rolled up the silk book with a string and pinned it to his waist.

After returning to the house, he had time to look at the changes on the panel.

……

In addition to the improvement in literary spirit and some attributes, Feng Yun's magic skills have also improved, and he has an additional common strategy 11.

Different from the magic that needs to start from 1 at the beginning, this magic was created by Feng Yun himself and is equal to Feng Yun's strength.

"Exotic arts are divided into techniques, methods, and ways, and they are divided into lower, medium, and upper grades. There are nine grades in total, and 10 is the lowest grade of magic."

"Before, I was trapped in the third-rate world. Now I have made a breakthrough, and my seal writing has also been promoted."

It's a pity that Feng Yun's skills in "The Book of Changes" are still a bit underdeveloped, and he still has no clue about the next hexagram.

……

The next day—

Feng Yun wore Xuan Duan clothes and a Xuan Guan on her head. This was both a daily dress and a court dress.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a fierce knock on the door.

"Come in." Feng Yun raised his hand, and a stream of Wen Qi flew out and turned into a stream of seal characters - opened, and the door bolt slowly opened, allowing people from outside to come in.

"Sergeant Yun, something happened. Someone Xizuo assassinated a corporal in the court, and Xizuo hung his head outside the palace wall."

"what?"

Although the Yue Kingdom was a barbarian, how could they use such disgusting methods?

"Uncle Zong asked me to tell the sergeant that news came from Dazai..." Da Luo hurriedly told the Yue Kingdom's request to surrender the beauty and the son Lie as hostages. "This is obviously a threat!" Feng Yun said angrily: "If we don't hand over, will Yuejun send a spy to assassinate you?"

Of course, this is just a casual statement. The monarch of Dating is blessed by the national destiny. Unless the national destiny is different, the assassination is just a joke.

But that corporal also had the protection of the national destiny, but he was only a corporal, and the national destiny was still shallow.

"I already know about this... His Majesty summoned me to the palace. I will go to the palace first and then go to meet with Uncle Zong."

Da Luo heard the sound and said: "Uncle Zong is in the palace, ah, the sergeant is also going to the palace?"

Feng Yun nodded.

"Didn't Uncle Zong ask your Majesty to summon me to the palace?"

"This... I don't know this." Da Luo scratched his head.

"Well, I'll go first."

"Sergeant Yun, I'll see you off."

Along the way, the common people talked a lot, the indignant people gnashed their teeth, and the numb people only used it as conversation material.

This reminded Feng Yun once again of Zongbo's saying that the country is more important than the people.

Who is more important, the people or the country?
"Da Luo, you said that if Da Ting was in a life-and-death crisis, would you fight for Da Ting until your death?"

"No need to tell lies."

Da Luo is also a real person. He scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

Feng Yun nodded. He looked at an obviously numb person and asked Da Luo: "Do you think that person will die fighting for the great court?"

The man's clothes were patched and his hair was messy, and he looked like a poor man.

"No, he will probably escape and become a refugee in another country."

Feng Yun asked another person. This person's clothes were simple, but his eyes were bright. There was a woman and child beside him. He had a good family. When they listened to the conversation, they all looked unwilling and full of resentment.

"How could the Yue Kingdom be so rude and ask Young Master Lie as a pledge?"

Da Luo rolled his little eyes and said uncertainly: "Yes, he has a wife and children in the court. Judging from his appearance, he should have lived in the court for several generations."

……

Along the way, Feng Yun asked Da Luo and different passers-by whether they would die fighting for Da Ting. The answers Da Luo gave gave Feng Yun an interpretation of the relationship between the people and the country.

Approaching the Grand Palace of Great Tingbo, Feng Yun stopped a person and asked personally: "Please stay here, do you dare to ask, who is more important, the people or the country?"

This man was a commoner, but he was well-dressed.

He said: "Of course it is the national importance."

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Are you Master Yun, Sergeant Yun?"

"Exactly, thank you for your advice."

Feng Yun asked this person, and then found another person to ask. This person was obviously duller, and he was a common farmer selling beans.

"The country is naturally big." When he spoke, he looked at the Great Tingbo Palace in the distance with a sense of fear. When he saw Feng Yun's extraordinary clothes, he immediately picked up his beans and left.

After the others left, Feng Yun stopped asking.

"Sergeant Yun, what are you doing?" Da Luo was puzzled.

Feng Yun's whole body was filled with literary energy, but he said.

"Who cares about the common people or the country? The state cares about the people, and the people care about the state."

"Look, when the people say that the country is important, they will do their best for the country; when the country says that the people are important, they will do their best to benefit the people; when the people are united, there will be no worries about chaos at home, and there will be no fear of disasters abroad."

Daluo's eyes lit up.

But soon dimmed again.

Because in today’s Great Court, it seems that not all the people sincerely say that the country is important, and those in power in the Great Court rarely benefit the people...

"We're here, go back." Feng Yun knew the current situation of the court, and also knew that what he said was just a beautiful idea. He just wanted to try his best to get closer to this idea, and he was clear in his heart.

He took the silk book from his waist, straightened the crown on his head, and strode forward.

The guards in front stopped him, and Feng Yun was ordered to summon him. After taking out the talisman of the sergeant, Feng Yun went to Subo Palace under the leadership of the chamberlain not long after it was communicated.

His chamberlains, also known as the eunuchs of later generations, were not all castrates. These non-castrates could only serve on the periphery of the palace and rarely went deep into the palace. They were more of a kind of close ministers who served the emperor. A type of scholar.

　There is another chapter in the morning, and this chapter will hit the list.
