Chapter 1266 A problem beyond the times
Watching Wei Zheng's carriage disappear at the end of the winding mountain road, Fang Jun let out a dull breath.
Standing beside the mountain road with your hands behind your back, you can see the Wei River flowing meandering along the foot of the mountain, and the majestic Chang'an City dormant in the distance. There is a melancholy beauty in the breeze and drizzle.
However, hidden under the surface of tranquility, wealth and strength, is the dirty evil nature of this nation...
Mr. Lu Xun once said that there is a slavish nature in the bones of the Chinese people. Firstly, they are submissive and willing to be humble and humiliate the poor without realizing it. Secondly, once they gain power, they will use the rich to bully the poor, doubling the oppression of their compatriots.
In his opinion, there are only two kinds of people in China: masters and slaves.
People who live in a servile manner will behave like a domineering master when they are successful, showing animalistic cruelty; when frustrated, they will be a slave, begging for mercy, obeying the master's orders, sharing the leftovers of cannibalism, and showing the humbleness and shamelessness of slaves...
Fang Jun thinks it makes sense.
But where does this servility come from?
It cannot simply be attributed to the arbitrary and humiliating oppression caused by foreign invasions in the Yuan, Qing and other dynasties. It cannot be all blamed on the Confucian "gold mean", nor can it be said to be the genes carried by the nation itself. No one is born a bitch...< br>
In the final analysis, it is still the result of social status quo.
Family is the most unique thought of the Chinese nation.
In Chinese people's thinking, "family" has an extremely lofty status and irreplaceable meaning. Whether you are a trafficker or a member of a family, you can easily sacrifice everything for "family"...
It is the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When the Chinese people are under dictatorship and power has been rampant for five thousand years, they have no choice but to endure it silently. To say that the Chinese people are honest, prudent and self-protective, content with the status quo, selfish and cowardly is actually helpless. In this long-term autocratic society, it is understandable to have seniors and subordinates at home. Do we have to ruin our families just for the sake of our integrity? Are you considered a hero?
However, the "slavery system" since ancient times has made this "slavery" even more profound.
Since the Han, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, the "slave status" has always existed. In the Song Dynasty, it eased slightly. The improvement of the status of literati and the rise of the poor gentry liberated the minds of the people. However, what followed was the decline of Yashan Juexiang and Shenzhou. Lu Chen, the entire nation fell into the eternal darkness, and the civilization that was about to emerge was completely annihilated under the scimitar cavalry of the alien race.
Although Taizu of the Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored China, he still adopted a high-pressure policy to govern the country. When the rise of the cabinet system in the late Ming Dynasty gradually liberated the people's wisdom, those sparks were about to start a prairie fire, but they suffered from the brutal rule of alien invasion...
It was nearly three hundred years after the Qing Dynasty entered the country, and the Han people lingered under the iron heel of the Qing Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. Their spines were broken, their bones became soft, and their souls were scattered. Even if the Republic of China was established, even if the Anti-Japanese War was won, even if New China rose, the legs of the Chinese nation had stood up, but the soul was still kneeling...
"Slavery" is a shackles of thought, which directly leads to the severance of the inheritance of Chinese civilization.
How to liberate the mind and eliminate "slavishness"?
This is the problem of the century. Fang Jun, a small bureaucrat in his previous life, was unable to do it, and he couldn't even find an accurate method.
But he feels that this should start from cultivating Han people's responsibilities.
It is impossible to eliminate autocracy, but if every Han people were upright and established, wouldn't the soil for this kind of "slavish" survival be much smaller?
It was drizzling and the breeze was blowing. Fang Jun stood beside the mountain road with a solemn expression, thinking about a problem that even the most erudite scholars of this era could not understand.
Unconsciously, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly approached behind him. The curtains of the carriage were slightly opened, and a slender jade hand stretched out, waving gently, stopping the guard in front from trying to kill Fang Jun, a "passerby". The plan to disperse...
The horses' hooves were clattering, the wheels were rolling, and the gorgeous carriage passed by Fang Jun slowly.
Fang Jun's mind was wandering, his eyes were unfocused, and he was completely unaware of the carriage passing by.
Not even noticing the beautiful face like a flower behind the floating car curtain...
Princess Fangling looked at Fang Jun on the side of the road in Zhuoli and wondered: "What disease has this boy got that he is standing on the side of the road in the rain?"
As the carriages crossed each other, Princess Changle could clearly see the tangled beauty and heavy expression on Fang Jun's face.
Biting her lips slightly, she turned a deaf ear to Princess Fangling's words, but she was wondering in her heart, what kind of difficulties did she encounter that could confuse a talented young man like Fang Jun so much?
I really didn't expect that Fang Jun, who seemed free and uninhibited, would have such a solemn moment.
Sure enough, it is better for men to be deeper...
*****
Jin Wang Li Zhi was very upset.
The funeral of Changsun's family had just ended and Changsun Dan had just been buried. Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to send someone to invite him to meet him at his house.
Li Zhi was a little puzzled and a little scared. What on earth was his uncle trying to do? Wasn't he afraid that his father would find out and suspect that his highness, the Prince of Jin, was so close to foreign ministers and had such frequent contacts?
But despite the fear in his heart, he dared not not go when faced with Changsun Wuji’s call...
Ever since he was a child, he had been afraid of his shady uncle who hid a knife behind his smile.
His still childish face was full of troubles, and he kept pacing back and forth in the hall, sighing from time to time, hesitating and tangled in his heart, which was really difficult to give up.
go?
Still not going?
Behind her are jingle bells, and the fragrance is lingering.
Princess Jin was dressed in splendid palace attire, with a sweet smile, a straight back, and a delicate and bright face with the restraint and majesty of a lady. She came behind Li Zhi with slow and delicate steps, and stretched out her delicate hands to hug Li Zhi. raised his arm and said softly: "Your Highness, what is so difficult to decide?"
Li Zhi stopped and looked back to stare at Princess Jin's bright face. A feeling of depression surged in his heart, ready to get angry. However, when he thought that it was this beautiful body under the palace clothes that was gracefully enjoying herself last night and brought him the ultimate enjoyment, he endured it, held back the anger that was about to burst out, and snorted coldly: " Isn’t it a good thing done by your family?”
Ever since they got married, the Taiyuan Wang family immediately advanced and retreated together with the eldest grandson's family. They colluded with each other and put Li Zhi on the fire...
"No matter what His Highness said, my family will naturally stand by His Highness and spare no effort to support it!"
Princess Jin smiled and said softly.
"Hmph! That's nice to say. Didn't you see that this king has such a rare thing to live in, and you started to have such thoughts that you absolutely shouldn't have?"
Li Zhi is not a fool. How could he not know the purpose behind the collusion between the Wang family and the Changsun family?
Princess Jin smiled brightly, gently pulled Li Zhi's hand, and said softly: "How can you say it is undue thoughts? Although the position of the crown prince has been determined, after all, His Majesty is in his prime, and things are still changing. Prince He is His Majesty’s legitimate son, and King Wei is His Majesty’s legitimate son. They can compete with each other. Why can’t His Majesty, His Majesty’s most beloved legitimate son, also compete?”
Li Zhi was a little annoyed, angrily shook off Princess Jin's hand, returned to the chair and said angrily: "They are both my biological brothers, they can fight, but how can I fight? And That sour dish from my uncle It’s so stupid for me to sow discord with the prince’s brother! The prince’s brother is so kind that he may not think twice about it, but how can Fang Jun, a naughty fellow, not see through the king’s intentions?” br>
Princess Jin moved lightly, sat down next to Li Zhi obediently, and said with a sweet smile: "Isn't Zhao Guogong's intention an upright conspiracy? Even if Fang Jun can see the intention, it will inevitably lead to a conflict between him and the prince. As long as the prince loses Fang Jun's arm and the king of Wei is far away in the Western Regions, who can say that the position of the crown prince will not change again?"
This woman is not very old, but she is also very thoughtful and eloquent.
Li Zhi patted the coffee table in front of him impatiently and hesitated to speak.
Do you want to say in front of Princess Jin that you are actually afraid of Fang Jun?
Others don't know, how could he, Li Zhi, not know Fang Jun's character? If it had been anyone else, he might have suffered the loss of being dumb. Even though he knew that he, Li Zhi, had plotted against him, he could only swallow his anger. But who is Fang Jun?
That's Chang'an's No. 1 mallet!
Back then, he was the one who dared to hold down King Qi and beat him up, and chased King Wei to beat him up!
As long as he thinks of Fang Jun's glorious achievements in the past, Li Zhi can't help but shiver...
What if Fang Jun's fellow was so vicious that he chased him to Prince Jin's Mansion and beat him up? With such a small body, Fang Jun would probably fall apart after three punches and two kicks...
But after thinking about the princess's words, I felt that the position of crown prince was really tempting. Maybe I could really seize the opportunity and successfully counterattack.
Compared with this, even if Fang Jun beats him up, it is worth it, right? (End of chapter)
