"In the past, the Sanmiao Clan was located in a strategic location, surrounded by Dongting Lake on the left and Pengli Lake on the right. Weren't they destroyed by Yu because of their lack of morals? Xia Jie's capital was located in an even more strategic location, surrounded by the Yellow River and Ji River on the left, Mount Tai and Mount Hua on the right, Yi Que to the south, and Yangchang Ban Pass to the north. Where is Xia Jie today? The same goes for King Zhou of Yin. From this point of view, the stability of a country depends on virtue, not danger. When virtue flourishes, the country flourishes; when virtue declines, the country declines. In the past, those who wanted to establish a country had to first educate the people and be close to the people. Their actions were based on virtue.
Great King Zhou, please understand! "After Xia Pingan finished speaking, the ship was completely silent. Marquis Weiwu's expression was greatly moved." In Minister Wu's words, what is the virtue of a country? "
"The virtue of a country lies in the hearts of the people, in the four words of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Propriety and righteousness are the great methods of governing people; integrity and shame are the great virtues of establishing people. If one is not honest, there is nothing one will not take; if one is not shameless, there is nothing one will not do. When people are like this, there is no place they will not go. Moreover, as a minister, there is nothing he will not do and there is nothing he will not do. If the country is shameless, is there anyone who will not perish? "
At this point, Xia Pingan felt somewhat emotional. In the end, all the disasters that would befall the Chinese people in the future were disasters brought about by the collapse of values, propriety, integrity, and shame. And the collapse of values, propriety, integrity, and shame basically started from the ruling class and the scholar-officials.
The latter words were actually not said by Wu Qi, nor were they invented by him. Propriety, integrity, integrity, and shame were first mentioned by Guan Guan. Guan Guan listed them as the four dimensions of a country, which were the four dimensions and standards of a country's values. Later on, the fifth generation's Feng Dao explained the relationship between them and the rise and fall of a country.
"Minister Wu's words are great and can be used to govern a country for generations to come!" Marquis Weiwu praised.
The ministers on the ship looked over. When one of them saw Xia Pingan standing in the limelight, the corners of his mouth twitched. He said with some indignation, "Lord Wu's words are quite good. However, when Lord Wu abandoned his mother and killed his wife for fame and future, where was his propriety, integrity, integrity, and shame?"
Marquis Weiwu saw that someone was exposing Wu's past scars and looked at the minister who spoke with displeasure. "Minister Wu's talent. Wei and Lu had talents like Minister Wu who did not cherish them and let pearls be covered in dust. This is the cause of these two countries' decline...... this is the cause of these two Countries.............."
Seeing that even Marquis Weiwu was speaking up for Wu Qi, giving him a way out, the official hurriedly bowed and retreated, not daring to say another word.
Looking at the scenery by the river, Xia Pingan sighed in his heart. Wu Qi was a great talent and also a ruthless person. However, Wu Qi's ambition and desire for fame and glory were too great. He abandoned his mother and killed his wife, a proud dragon with regrets. He lived his life in various countries and finally escaped from Wei. He did not have a good ending in Chu. With the death of King Song of Chu, Wu Qi also welcomed the end of his life.
Wu Qi had made great contributions to Chu, but in the end, he was killed by the nobles of Chu who bore a grudge against him. Wu Qi had spent his life constantly in pursuit of fame and glory, but in the end, he was buried by his own pursuit of fame and glory. The fate that the heavens had arranged for him was truly lamentable …
In this chaotic world, hundreds of schools of thought contended for supremacy. Heroes, masters, and heroes fought against each other. The will of the heavens was clear, and karma was real. It was truly awe-inspiring.
Xia Pingan was silent for a moment, then looked at the people on the ship. "In this era of great strife, it's natural for a man to pursue achievements. However, abandoning my mother and killing my wife is the regret of my life. I'm not worthy of being a son, nor a husband. Every time I think about it, I regret it. If I can start my life over again, I'd rather be an ordinary man in Wei Country than let my mother and my wife down. If I have to sacrifice my family in exchange for the fame of a man, it's fine if I don't take it. If I don't have a good ending in the future, I'll be punished by the heavens.
Hearing Xia Pingan say this, everyone on the ship glanced at each other. The Marquis of Wei Wuhou was moved once more. No one had expected the usually headstrong Wu Qi to reveal his true feelings at this time, to speak such moving and sincere words.
The Realm Bead's world instantly shattered!
This Realm Pearl was fusing too quickly!
In the secret mandala's shrine, 15 more points of divine force appeared. At the same time, a portrait of Wu Qi and the Marquis of Wei Wuhou appeared.
When Xia Pingan's consciousness looked at the portrait, the Wu Qi in the portrait moved. Wu Qi's face was filled with disappointment, and he seemed to sigh as he bowed to Xia Pingan.
Next to Wu Qi's portrait were the portraits that Xia Pingan had obtained from fusing with the Realm Pearl. One of the portraits was of Sima Guang repelling the Qilin. It was about Song Renzong's later years, when the Jiaozhi Kingdom offered a 'Qilin' to the Great Song, but it was returned by Sima Guang. The other portrait was of Emperor Wen of Han wearing straw sandals to the Great Song.
These were two historical stories, and the fusion had been very easy.
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and looked at the time. It had not even been three minutes since he had fused with the Realm Pearl.
Following this, Xia Pingan took out the second Realm Pearl – Countrymen's Rebellion.
This was a story that most people who were familiar with Chinese history would know. It was about the time of King Li of Zhou, and the idiom 'Roads with Goals' came from this period. King Li of Zhou was insatiably greedy, and he controlled the entire country's forests and lakes. Everything that was produced belonged to the Emperor, and he did not allow any countrymen to enter to make a living. At the same time, he used spies to rule the country, forcing everyone to 'Roads with Goals'. In the end, the commoners of Haojing all banded together and rebelled, forcing King Li of Zhou to escape from Haojing to Shanxi's Linfen. He did not dare to return to Haojing ever again.
Because of this' rebellion ', there was the first era in Chinese history that used the word' Republic 'as its name, and it was known as the' Zhou Zhao Republic '.
This rebellion was the first time in Chinese history that the commoners took up arms to defend their rights, and it had great significance.
"I wonder if I can rewrite history this time. I wonder if I can ambush King Li of Zhou during the Haojing Rebellion and take his life!" Xia Pingan thought to himself as he took a deep breath and began to bleed.
…
In the next few days, everything in the Yunwan Mountain base went on as usual, just as Xia Pingan expected. After the army announced that a demon wolf sorcerer had sneaked into the base and was killed, it did not cause much panic among the people in the base.
To the people in the base, they had been trained by the Heavenly Tribulation and various space invasions, and their nerves were already very strong. A demon wolf sorcerer that was killed was forgotten by the people in just a few days.
The snow did not end.
The valley and the roads outside were all sealed by the snow. The snow was getting thicker and thicker, and the demons had completely disappeared.
The Boundary Pearl of the National Rebellion merged perfectly again, but King Li of Zhou still did not manage to kill him. He escaped, and the history in the Boundary Pearl did not change.
Xia Pingan also rested for a few days, which was rare. During these few days, Xia Pingan was free to make rune bullets, practice martial arts with Tu Polu and the others, or have hotpot.
After a few days of peace, a group of more than 2000 refugees came to the Yunwan Mountain base along the road.
The arrival of this group of refugees broke the peace of the Yunwan Mountain base, and brought about a lot of chaos. This caused the daily necessities in the Yunwan Mountain base, especially food, to become scarce.
Finally, one day, in order to fight for food and shelter, the newcomers and the people who came before opened fire in the town …
Shots were fired, killing three people and wounding five others at the same time
This gunshot not only broke the peace of the Yunwan Mountain base, but also ended Xia Pingan's short 'holiday' …
