Chapter 2231: Swallows under the Eaves of Common People in the Old Times (Please ask for monthly votes on the last day)(1/3)
This "Liu Ji Beef Noodle House" is very small, and its business is very good. There is no room to sit in the room, and the tables and chairs are placed outside, occupying half of the street.
Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu were sitting outside the house eating noodles, each with a small noodle bowl on a stool, just sitting opposite each other in an inconspicuous manner.
June is when the heat is rampant. The diners shake their cattail fans vigorously, men unbutton their lapels, and women roll up their sleeves to their elbows. From time to time, shirtless men pass by.
Although the two brothers were dressed as ordinary as possible, they were still a little too tight. Especially Zuo Guangshu, who didn't show anything, was actually more conspicuous.
Chu Yuzhi saw Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu, but did not come over to say hello. He just nodded imperceptibly, then turned and left.
Zuo Guangshu also lowered his head to eat offal, seemingly unaware.
In the past few years, the young prince of Chu has been traveling around the country, looking for food in the streets and alleys, not just for the sake of food and drink - no one in the world has the most food and food cravings than Huangliangtai, and there is no reason to abandon the near and seek the far.
As the heir to the Duke of Huai, his responsibilities did not allow him to spend his days leisurely.
It's just that since he obtained the Nine Phoenix Magical Power in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he has been suffering from the influence of divinity. This unprecedented magical power has no precedent for exploration and is extremely complicated and difficult to grasp. This has also led to his slow progress in the Divine Realm——
Of course, the so-called "slowness" is only relative to the top few.
Ling Yue in the Taixu Illusion Realm still firmly controls the location of the Tenth Danxia Mountain in the Blessed Land.
Zuo Xiao suggested that he feel more about the world, while Qu Jinkui's suggestion was more direct, asking him to explore the food in the streets and alleys and breathe in the fireworks of the world.
The two extremely powerful men both saw the key to this magical power and taught him to use humanity to control divinity.
Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua fell in love happily, which can be regarded as a kind of such practice.
For members of a top aristocratic family like them, walking through the streets, going to markets, and experiencing the lives of ordinary people is quite a novel experience. Of course, they can only experience the happy part.
"Isn't the Huang family also a Chu family?" Jiang Wang asked in surprise.
After traveling all over the country for so many years, Jiang Wang deeply realized one thing - the most difficult thing for a person to fight against is his own butt.
This is more than a superficial description of benefits.
Speaking more broadly, as a human race, the human race’s position is the biggest butt. In a race battlefield, how can we not draw our sword for the human race?
To put it mildly, nobles from well-known families such as Zuo Guangshu and Dou Zhao certainly have the virtues of aristocrats and are willing to assume the responsibilities of aristocrats. They are by no means "vegetarians" as Chu Yuzhi said. But they need to understand the standpoint of common people.
, and how difficult it is?
Can Dou Zhao understand Chu Yuzhi's father who pushes a stall to sell noodles every day after he retired from the army?
Can Zuo Guangshu understand his childhood of naked buttocks picking locust leaves to sell for money?
They have compassion and sympathy.
But I can't relate to it.
Jiang Wang went from being a mud-legged person to the top of the overlord country and regained his freedom. He has experienced the life of a commoner, and he has also experienced the life of aristocrats. He saw different scenery in different positions, and he found that there seemed to be no consistency in the world.
Correct, the correctness seen at each stage is different.
Sometimes "right" means "butt."
"Huang Weizhen doesn't recognize relatives, has no connections, and doesn't open a house. The Huang family is listed in the Chu family, but there is no one else." Zuo Guangshu put it very straightforwardly: "It is the Chu family that needs the Huang family to be listed."
Jiang Wangshi ate two mouthfuls of noodles without knowing the taste, and couldn't help but ask again: "So Yanfa Pavilion..."
Zuo Guangshu pursed his lips and replied: "Yes. Huang Weizhen originally created the Yanfa Pavilion to give equal opportunities to ordinary people and nobles from aristocratic families - he hoped that everyone could practice martial arts."
At the very beginning, Jiang Wang’s deepest impression of the Chu State was Yan Fage.
Zuo Guangshu once told him that the Taoist stage in Taixu Illusion was inspired by the Yanfa Pavilion.
He often comes to Chu State, and he also understands what Yanfa Pavilion means in Chu State. Chu people often use whether they have an independent Yanfa Pavilion as a criterion for the strength of a family.
In other words, in order to allow ordinary people to practice their skills, the performance pavilion ended up becoming a monopoly of aristocratic families.
What a huge irony!
Jiang Wang also finally understood why Chu Yuzhi's actions were rarely favored by any powerful people in the Chu State. This was because Huang Weizhen, the arrogant genius who had made a name for himself more than 900 years ago, had already failed.
No matter how hard Chu Yuzhi works, how can he beat the past?
When Emperor Taizu of Chu originally decided to leave the problems of the aristocratic family to those who came after him, did he expect such a result?
The inertia of history is so powerful. When it forms a tide over a long period of time, even a peerless figure like Huang Weizhen cannot change the direction of the tide.
There is a nest of swallows living under the eaves of the noodle shop. They are used to the sound of people and are not afraid of diners. A group of little heads are hanging together on the edge of the mud, taking a nap in the hot afternoon.
Jiang Wang looked at Yanchao, thinking of the Qiming New Deal that failed not long ago, and had some indescribable emotions: "I really want to see what Huang Weizhen went through back then. Unfortunately, the part about him in "Chu Lue" was only created by him.
Most of the records of Yanfa Pavilion and the killing of You Yuheng are unclear, and most of them are circumstantial evidence."
Zuo Guangshu said: "In fact, when Mr. Sima Heng wrote "The Story of Chu", he wrote in detail about Huang Weizhen. But later, the mountains and seas continued to sublimate, and Huang Weizhen showed signs of returning, and the conclusion about him became
It’s blurry.”
Historical writing pays attention to the final conclusion of the coffin. Now that Huang Wei’s coffin has not been firmly closed, naturally everything in the past must be re-considered. The historical classic "The Sword of History" is not written forever, but has been continuously developed over a long period of time.
Overturn and constantly revise. Because the truth of history often has many dimensions.
The word "faith" in trusting history does not mean that it will never be wrong, but that it will always obey the truth.
Jiang Wang sighed: "Huang Weizhen's conclusion has become blurred, and the positioning of Yanfa Pavilion has also become blurred."
Zuo Guangshu said: "Sometimes I feel the same way - the evolution of the Yanfa Pavilion itself is more unpredictable than the techniques it deduces."
Jiang Wang couldn't help but asked: "In the old days, common people kept swallows under their eaves, but now they keep them in bird cages?"
"That's true." Zuo Guangshu did not hide anything because of his identity, and said seriously: "But the huge construction cost of the Yanfa Pavilion itself has destined that it cannot be owned by ordinary people. Huang
Wei Zhen himself built several performance halls, which were open to everyone, but they were only a drop in the bucket. After his death, they were nationalized."
The construction cost of the Yanfa Pavilion is indeed an issue that cannot be ignored. It itself constitutes the threshold and completes the screening of classes.
But this is definitely not the core issue.
Because the cost problem is a solvable problem. The real unsolvable problem is that the nobles of Chu State are unwilling to solve it.
The impenetrable barrier between the Chu family and the common people is the foundation.
Now more than nine hundred years have passed. In fact, Taixu Pavilion is already doing what Huang Weizhen wanted to do back then, such as "Taixu Xuanzhang".
In terms of construction costs, the Taixu Illusion Realm is far more expensive than the Yanfa Pavilion. However, this cost is equally shared by all the forces that dominate the world, especially the Taixu Sect itself. In the end, it is also a matter of compromise and trade-offs between all parties.
Afterwards, Taixu Pavilion was established and "Taixu Xuanzhang" was fully implemented.
As far as Jiang Wang's feelings are concerned, the process of implementing "Taixu Xuanzhang" did not encounter too strong resistance.
This made him couldn't help but think today, did everything Huang Weizhen did back then really not shake anything?
"Is Huang Weizhen's death related to the path he chose?" Jiang Wang asked again in this crowded shop.
"It has been too long, and the truth of that year has been buried. For a long time, the name Huang Weizhen was taboo, but his contribution has always been recognized, and his legend has always existed." Zuo Guangshu said: "Although
I don’t know the details of his death that year, but I think for a person like Huang Weizhen, if he didn’t want to die, no one could kill him.”
"Perhaps he left then just to return now." Jiang Wang looked at Zuo Guangshu: "Guangshu, what do you think of the changes that Huang Weizhen may bring?"
Zuo Guangshu had obviously thought about this issue. He said seriously: "Personally, I need to safeguard the honor of the Zuo family, but I don't think the long-term foundation of honor is to monopolize all opportunities. I think people like Chu Yu
People like this should have broader possibilities. I am not afraid of competition. If one day I have children, I hope that they will not have to be afraid of competition. And the way I take care of this hope is to teach them well, not
Kick off their competitors early."
He only talked about "personal", "believe" and "hope", because the ship was turned around in a disaster, and the helmsman's will was sometimes carried away by the waves. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, the Zuo family has continued to branch out.
A huge family with intricate roots and deep roots in every corner of the country. Today Zuo Guangshu is Zuo Guangshu, and he can have his own ideas. In the future, Zuo Guangshu will be the Duke of Huai, and what he needs to represent is the Zuo family.
collective will.
Jiang Wang had already got the answer. He patted Zuo Guangshu on the shoulder: "Remember to pay the bill. I'm going to Yue Country."
Zuo Guangshu didn't ask him what he was doing in Yue, he just looked at him: "If you were me, how would you choose?"
"I'm not you. I can't feel everything you feel. All the choices you take for granted are too stupid." Jiang Wang stood up and said: "Don't ask me for advice. But if you ask me just about my personal choice - I will support the left.
All Guangshu’s decisions.”
Zuo Guangshu was very moved and was about to say something.
Jiang Wang added: "No matter when it comes, as long as my Bai Yujing Restaurant is open for a day, there will be a place for you to boil water."
"Boss, pay the bill!" Zuo Guangshu took out five copper coins that had been exchanged in advance and lined them up on the table.
He only paid his own.

The treasure of the cave [Zhang Huatai], whose original form is Taiyuan Zongzhen Heaven, ranks third among the top ten caves.
The existence named "Zhuge Yixian" in Zhanghuatai is the body of the convergence of the calculation power of the twelve star gods. For thousands of years, he has been working day and night to deal with many affairs tirelessly.
The people of Chu respected ghosts and gods, and there were many mountain gods and water gods in Chu. The gods' decrees, deposes, demotions, etc. all came out of Zhanghuatai in response to the decrees.
Therefore, this body is also called "Chi Shen Chief Witch".
The highest-level channel in the Southern Region, the "Zhanghua Channel" led by the Chu State, relies on Zhanghuatai.
Therefore, Zhang Huatai also assumes the important task of "information hub".
