Chapter 439: Killing is useless, it is more valuable to use it
“Have you ever thought about killing me?”
Su Chen wiped the edge of the sword, put it back into its sheath, and threw it back into the chariot, but was killed by Lu Lingqi Catch it carefully. Here, the old man was lying on the ground and nodded.
“The country of Wu is an old and decayed homeland and has been destroyed. How can the people who destroyed the country not hate you.”
“You are sincere.”
Su Chen was not afraid of the old man being a master and hurting others. After all, his strength was greatly reduced after a broken leg, and he felt that it would be much easier to deal with him than Yuan Bai Sheng.
Of course, it may also be related to the secret technique. Yuan Bai Sheng’s secret technique is indeed a bit beyond the scope. All weapons can echo the opponent from a distance. This made many generals present at the time such as Zhao Yun feel uncomfortable. loss.
“Old senior!”
Su Chen walked to the old man, glanced at the soldiers approaching around him, sighed, raised his wide sleeves, and let the soldiers They stopped where they were and only allowed Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Lu Bu and other generals to approach.
“You feel that your homeland was destroyed and you became a subjugated person, but have you ever thought about the people of Wu State? My predecessor is a man in the world and a master. He should understand more principles than ordinary people. Many, the world is unified, and there are fewer disputes between countries. Do you think the people are living well or not? "
Su Chen's words surprised the old man. In his concept, or in his ancestors' lifetime, the whole world was a coexistence of six kingdoms. In his concept, the country of Wu was the country of Wu, and there was not much concept of world unity.
Let alone think about whether the people would live well if there was only one country in the world.
“Now, after two years, the people of the Central Plains have begun to accept this concept. Some people have already regarded themselves as Xia people, because after becoming a country, they have benefited, the environment is stable, and there is land at their feet. There is a house in the rain and wind, and there is a wife, children, and children around, and there is hope for life."
Looking at the old man's shocked expression, Su Chen was not impatient, but continued: "I will set up an army. In fact, I had never thought about unifying the world, but when I stood at a high position and saw the panicked people under the soldiers, I suddenly had this idea.
If there were no more wars in this world, or the wars would not affect the rule of law. The people in the countryside live and work in peace and contentment. There are business travelers coming and going on the roads. In the city there are people who are busy with daily life. In the fields there are farmers who are comfortable and contented. In the village, there are people sitting on the threshold looking at their children, holding the soles of their shoes, waiting for their husbands. The woman returning home...
Rather than between the six countries, because of borders, because of clan disputes, because you are unhappy with me, you kill me! "
Su Chen squatted down, picked up the knife left by the old man, and handed it back to the other party.
"Instead of such a continuous little fight, it is better to kill the knife in one breath. These six countries are unified. There are no boundaries, no distinctions among the people of the six countries, and no discrimination. You and I are Xia people. We can speak Xia dialect, read Xia books, understand Xia characters, and walk in the same-sized officialdom. On the road, sitting on carriages of the same size. What do you think of the people with such uniformity?
Today, I won’t kill you, why?
Because you at least understand one thing. Before you kill me, see if I am a tyrant. I am hundreds of times stronger than those indiscriminate assassins. Old senior, you have just come out, so you might as well take a walk in the Central Plains. Look, see if I am a tyrant, see if the people of the Central Plains live in poverty, and everyone is in danger. ”
The old man surnamed Du listened with rapt attention, especially when Su Chen described the life of the people after the unification of the world. It was as if he saw the warm sunshine shining on the earth in an instant. Between the roads and fields, farmers were hard at work planting rice, and children were shining brightly. Running and playing on the field ridge with feet covered with dirt.
On the streets in the lively city, pedestrians are bustling, shops are open, the waiters yawned and stretched lazily at the door, and the porters at the ferry drank hot porridge and rice and began to After a hard day's work, at dusk, they received the settled wages, with happy smiles on their rough faces; the soldiers were in high spirits, guarding the city gate to check the passing merchants, and the county magistrate who got up early took the complaint and scolded the traitor in the court. A criminal.
Thousands of sails passed by on the sparkling river. On the seaside, fishermen sang heroic songs, intertwined with the waves. Friends from the village gathered in groups on the beach to pick up shells. Occasionally, they picked up a sea fish and tried their best to Holding him in his arms, laughing and joking. In the fields in the distance, suonas sounded, and crowds gathered in the town to bless and cheer the newlyweds. The newlyweds were anxiously thinking about what the husband or wife across from them looked like and the good days ahead.
Pictures of thousands of lives were spread out in the old man's mind. After hearing Su Chen's words, he came back to his senses, "The old man has lived in seclusion for many years, saying that he cultivates his moral character. The ability to observe the mind and realize the truth is inferior to that of Your Majesty. Can you really see the grand scene that Your Majesty just described?"
"Why can't you see it?" Su Chen laughed, "The Grandmaster's lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people. Just like Sword Master Yuanbai, he also lived for more than 120 years. If he hadn't insisted on killing me, maybe, I I will also let him live. After all, it is not easy to live to such an old age, and it is even more difficult to become a master. It would be a pity to kill him."
After saying that, Su Chen stood up and turned around to ask Jia Xu on the carriage to bring one. Ben, he handed the book to the master in front of him.
"This is written by me. It is all about my thoughts and the peaceful and prosperous age in my heart. Seniors can read it if they have nothing to do in the future. Maybe they will understand whether I am the kind of person who loves great achievements and is cruel and unkind. . ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still took the handed book into his hand, with "My China" written on the cover.
“Now I not only want to unify the six countries and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but also find a way to resist the rise of a new country on the sea. The old timers don’t know what the old people don’t know. The rich family of the Wu Kingdom puts the emperor under house arrest and puts Minggang under control. As a condition, we will do business with overseas Japanese. That is the land of Wu State and will be the land of Xia State in the future. I will never sit idly by. ”
"But I am only one person. It is difficult for me to unite the six countries and resist the Japanese overseas. I am exhausted. I hope that people in the world will think of their family and country and the common people. Don't let me be distracted anymore. I I heard that great heroes should serve the country and the people. Even if the seniors don’t consider themselves to be Xia people, they should also care about the people.”
After Su Chen finished speaking what was in his heart, he sighed and returned. When the royal chariot arrived, a soldier in front was asked to drive the car, and it gradually drove away from the farmland. Before leaving, he told Wu Zixun to pay compensation for the fields he had ruined and not to treat the farmers harshly.
Immediately, Su Chen opened the curtain and waved to the soldiers and generals outside.
"It's over, let's go back."
Lü Bu picked up his halberd, glanced at the old man who was slumped on the ground over there, lost in thought with a book in his hands, and turned around to call to those who jumped up and down the chariot. The girl asked her if she was injured and promised to find her a good horse next time.
The soldiers dispersed, and the old man sat alone in the field. The pain caused by the broken knee was not as shocking as the content in the book he felt at the moment.
The more he turned back, the more surprised he became.
I didn’t expect that the Xia Emperor could have such great ambitions at such a young age.
"Ninety-seven years of life are in vain, and I am not as good as a young man of ten or more. I am ashamed!"
He closed the book, closed his eyes, and repeated: "Ashamed! . Maybe I should do something within my power.”
The old man suddenly remembered the overseas country mentioned by Emperor Xia just now.
