Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 667 Look at the humanities, in order to become the world
"No one in this world wants Hanze to last forever more than I do, but the country's destiny, which is declining day by day and is about to disappear, reminds me of this cruel reality all the time—"

"Hanze's vitality is exhausted, and the Ye family's country can no longer be defended. This is the destiny, which cannot be changed by manpower!" Ye Zhifeng stood up to support the case, and his words shocked all the courtiers. Word.

She stared at the group of courtiers with different expressions who seemed to be thinking seriously, and slightly slowed down her voice: "My lords, in this case, I can only give priority to the people who keep our Hanze."

The Ye family's country is of course important to her, but when the foundation is lost and it is a foregone conclusion, what she wants to keep more is always her people in Hanze.

——This is her fundamental duty as a saintess of the Linggong Palace, and it is also the last and most important thing she can do for the people as the eldest princess of the Ye family.

"Adults, Zhifeng would like to ask adults to think about it carefully - what is the most important thing for a country?" The girl spoke slowly, her cold eyes fixed on the courtiers sitting on the seat.

"Who is the name of the supreme being in the Ninth Five-Year position? Is the royal family who ruled a piece of land named 'Ye' or 'Mo'?"

"No, none of them. The most important thing is the common people, the sense of identity with all the people in the world - as long as they live in peace and contentment, the common people will not care whether the high-ranking king has been replaced by someone else's surname."

"Similarly, as long as we Hanze people still identify ourselves as 'Northern Xinjiang Hanze' people from the bottom of our hearts, as long as the customs and beliefs that belong to us in Northern Xinjiang and Hanze are not replaced by beliefs elsewhere, then Why can't we say that 'Hanze' is eternal?"

"What is 'Hanze'? What is 'Hanze'? This pasture in northern Xinjiang, the imperial city under our feet? No, don't be silly, the imperial city cannot represent Hanze, the grassland It doesn't represent Hanze either."

"When people from other countries mention Hanze, they think of the frost and snow in northern Xinjiang, the cattle and sheep on the pastures, the 'Shuanghua Goddess' that every household believes in, and the clothes and patterns on the totem that are completely different from other places."

At this point, Ye Zhifeng's tone couldn't help but slow down, almost as if he paused every word: "The intertwining of rigidity and softness; astronomy; as far as civilization is concerned, humanities."

"Looking at astronomy, to observe time changes, to observe humanities, to transform into the world (Yi·Ben Gua Ci)."

"The only thing that can represent Hanze is the word 'culture'." (Note: The word "culture" has already appeared in medieval Chinese, and it is not a modern word. The source is this sentence [sound "tuan"]. Also Note: Medieval Chinese took shape around the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song dynasties, for details, please refer to official |official materials or Du Niang.)
"In other words, if our Hanze culture lasts forever, then no matter what the name of the high-ranking Tian family royal family is, it can be said that 'Hanze' will last forever."

"But if the culture of our Hanze has been cut off from then on, then even if Mrs. Ye or any of the adults here can secure the ninety-five positions in this Hanze forever, 'Hanze' will not If there is one more breath left—"

"Adults, why are we afraid that the Western Merchants will attack the capital?" The girl straightened up, her amber eyes were as clear as two pools of still water, which made everyone tremble uncontrollably.

"Because you and I know very well that the culture of Western Merchants in the desert is different from ours, and they are also just a small country in the desert."

"Once Hanze is destroyed by the Western Merchants, they will force our people to change their beliefs into their beliefs; they will force our people to change their clothing and food into the ones they are familiar with!"

"The imperial family of the Western Merchants is not that powerful, and their country also does not have that national power. Therefore, they will not allow the newly acquired land to keep their original appearance."

"They will only use the strongest means and the most direct way to force us to submit, enslave and drive us into the one that is most easily controlled by them."

"When the people in northern Xinjiang no longer remember what beliefs they used to have, and when the unique scrolls of Hanze were completely replaced by Western Shang characters," Ye Zhifeng said, his eyes turned red, "My lords, this is the truth. The real 'subjugation'—"

"When that happens, 'Hanze' will really cease to exist."

The reason why she chose Qianping and the Mo family was because that Qianping was the destiny of the heavens, and Mo Jingyao and Mo Junli were rare wise and virtuous monarchs in this world. He will not be burdened and suffer.

Secondly, it is because Qianping is a big country.

It has become so strong that there is no need to deliberately change the beliefs and culture of the place where it is received, and Qianping's inherent culture is already extremely inclusive, and the people can easily find a wonderful place between the two. place of balance.

In this way, her Hanze culture can last forever.

In this way, her coldness will last forever.

——This is probably a little selfishness of hers.

Ye Zhifeng closed his eyes, barely holding back the scalding water that was hanging on his eyelashes and was about to fall out.

The ministers were silent for a long time after hearing the words, and it was only after a while that someone tentatively opened his mouth: "Then...Your Highness, are you sure that the emperor of Qianping will not force us to change their culture like the lord of the Western Shang Dynasty?"

"I'm sure." The girl nodded, her voice was indescribably solemn, "Qianping is a powerful country in the world, it is strong enough, and it doesn't need to be like Western merchants, who are thankless to do so much effort, and have to bear the burden of the people if they are not careful. |It's a matter of backlash."

"In addition, culture is not a static thing. Qianping culture is extremely inclusive, and it is much more advanced than ours."

"If Hanze can learn from other people's strengths and make up for his own shortcomings, and then build our new Hanze culture on this basis, it would be a good thing."

Having visited Qianping once, she has already seen through it. The reason why the Ye family can be reduced to this point, and the reason why Hanze can decline to the point where it is almost wiped out by other countries, is because of their cultural customs that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Nor unrelated.

In the past, northern Xinjiang was too closed, the country was weak, and all kinds of customs were quite old-fashioned.

Closeness and conservatism can easily make people arrogant and conceited. Ye Tianlin, who didn't know what is good or bad, dared to use half the power of the country to forcefully invade the Qianping border, and was beaten so hard that he almost lost the capital is the best. example.

Under such circumstances, if she still sticks to the old ways and refuses to change, Hanze, which was barely preserved by her this time, will one day go to that complete perdition.

She did not want to see such a scene.

"As for what Zhifeng said, is it true or not—" Ye Zhifeng lowered his eyelashes and sighed faintly, "Didn't we just cede the two border towns to Qianping a while ago?"

"The city has been assigned to Qianping for a while now, and it's not far from the capital. If adults have free time these days, you might as well go and take a look."

"When adults have seen those two cities, they will naturally understand why Zhifeng made such a choice—"
