Chapter 066 Dao Loyalty, Make a Promise
The mist is vast, and the autumn rain and the autumn wind are blowing. The whole sky is pressed down very low by dark clouds, which makes people feel more depressing.
Guo Jing's mood was just like the gloomy weather. He thought for a long time before saying, "Brother Li, I heard that the Mongolian cavalry was pressing against Xiangyang. I will go with my family in the near future to resist foreign enemies with the soldiers and civilians of the city. Brother Li, you are young, but your martial arts are very powerful. I wonder if you are willing to go to Xiangyang with Guo to hold a grand event together?" After saying that, his eyes were earnest and full of expectations at Li Haoran.
Li Haoran lowered his head and thought about how to refuse and prevent Guo Jing from being disheartened. After a while, he looked up and said, "Can the army of the Song Dynasty fight? The Zhao family could not even accommodate the loyal Yue Wumu. They could accommodate the chivalrous knights who violated the ban with martial arts? Look at what the people of the Song Dynasty were doing? The officials were not enterprising, the emperor had no courage, no ambition, and no confidence to fight a war with the northern nations. The ministers in the court would only fight for power for their own interests. They were afraid that the generals would compete for their status.
They will oppress and harm. There are many capable people in the world, but who is willing to be the second Yue Wumu? The benevolent and righteous people have been extinct. However, Song Ting not only did not praise them, but instead did things that hurt their relatives and enemies were happy. Is such a court worthy of the trust of the people in the world? Ordinary people will not care about who is the emperor and who is good to them, and they will support them. On the contrary, they will stand up and take risks when they are desperate. After all, Song Ting did not give them a way to survive. Is such a thing happening less frequently in the dynasty?”
To work hard for these parasites? There is no other way. In Li Haoran's heart, there is only a unified Chinese nation, not a court of Mongolia or Han. Which nation has clear politics, which nation is qualified to rule the world.
Guo Jing has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Unexpectedly, Li Haoran reacted so fiercely. This was completely contrary to his ideal. He was unhappy, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "How can Brother Li say such things? Why do you say you are also from Song?"
Li Haoran took a deep breath and said calmly: "I have lived in Tianshan since I was a child. Tianshan is my home. I have never received the favor of Song Ting since I was a child. Let me ask Guo Daxia, is there any help from the Song Dynasty?"
Guo Jing was stunned and said for a while: "At least we should try our best to save it! At worst, we can sacrifice ourselves to achieve success."
Li Haoran sighed and said to himself: "At the end of the Warring States Period, the six countries fought, and Qin was the strongest. Qin King Ying Zheng had the ambition to unify the world, but he became the target of assassination for many assassins. The famous Zhao Knight, the sword and the snow were stumbling blocks on the way forward of Qin King Ying Zheng. At the same time, the King Ying Zheng of Qin slowed down the great cause of unifying the world, but the killing did not stop there. Because one year, the sword and snow attacked the Qin Palace, and the three thousand guards could not stop it! So he was worried, so he ordered Qin dead soldiers to go out everywhere, holding on to the idea of killing ten thousand, and not missing one person, so that the land of China would continue to flow."
Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Duan Susu were stunning. This story was not recorded in official history. The three of them thought of the broken swords and the flying snow in the fiercely guarded Qin Palace. They couldn't help but be fascinated. Seeing Li Haoran suddenly stopping, Guo Jing couldn't help but ask, "What's next?"
The lonely eyes of the actor who played the Canjian Sword appeared in Li Haoran's mind. His eyes were full of the pain of being hated by his lover, the pain of being spitted by his friends, and the pain of being suspected by Zhao people. He said in a deep voice: "Cancer Sword is not only a sting god, a sword god, a sting god, a sword fool, and a book fool. Because all the heroes in the martial arts world say that the sword technique of Canjian is learned from a set of calligraphy. Therefore, his sword technique is unique, difficult to imitate, elusive, and difficult to defeat. That time, he did not fail, but voluntarily missed the opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin."
Guo Jing said in confusion: "Why is this? Why did you give up such an opportunity in vain?"
Li Haoran said leisurely: "Because he was not in his heart, Qin, Wei, Qi... but the people of the world who had experienced wars. He knew that only by unifying the world early can people live a happy and healthy life. Looking at the seven heroes of the world, only the Qin King of Qin had the ability and courage to unify the world. Therefore, he gave up the assassination and lived alone with thousands of people's despises, and loved his lover's misery. Not only did he not kill the King of Qin, but he secretly helped the King of Qin and tried to persuade the assassination plan to stop the heroes of Zhao. Because in the late Zhao State, the political corruption was decayed, the King of Zhao had no confidence and no courage to bring a peaceful sky to the people of Zhao."
Guo Jing was thinking, and he murmured, constantly muttering the word "world". The three of them looked at each other, but they did not disturb them, because only he could figure it out by himself.
Huang Rong looked at Li Haoran with a hint of respect, understanding, and gratitude. Because of the power of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, she knew too much that her husband's character was better than hers. She knew very well that Guo Jing's decision to protect Xiangyang was definitely a lifelong thing. An old saying goes: "Marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog." Huang Rong naturally would not leave her husband, live in the same bed, and die in the same cave.
...
The dusk was full of clouds, and the rain dripped. The rain was cold and the autumn was falling, and it woke up Guo Jing who was thinking deeply. His face was full of melancholy and his expression became much heavier. He walked out of the pavilion alone and looked up at the railing. He said calmly: "The world? The people in the world have really suffered for a long time. Because of the continuous resistance, more people have suffered in vain. But do we give up?" He was asking others, but everyone knew that he was asking more about his own heart.
Guo Jing looked confused, then clasped his fists and asked seriously at Li Haoran: "Brother Li, we are all sons of the Han Dynasty. Guo really doesn't understand why brothers are unwilling to raise an army to serve the Lord. Do you have the same idea as Can?"
Li Haoran smiled faintly and said, "Hiss Guo is right. We are all sons of the Han Dynasty, but what about the emperor? What is he? Is he a natural master? Are these kind and righteous people fighting bloody battles for him alone?"
Guo Jing showed a surprised and confused expression, and Li Haoran said something that even the feudal society dared not think about. The education they received from birth was to be loyal to the emperor, and gradually subconsciously made them take loyalty to the emperor as a truth. Words and deeds that violate this principle will naturally be regarded as a traitor.
Although Guo Jing was shocked by the shocking words Li Haoran said, he also expressed a thoughtful look.
Li Haoran really didn't want Guo Jing to die at the top of Xiangyang like the original work, causing the Guo family to cut off the incense. When he saw that there was a door, he continued: "Is Emperor Taizu really the so-called destiny of heaven? If there is a destiny, then what is this destiny? Destiny of heaven is there, but destiny is not a god, nor is it a destiny, but the heart of the people. The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world. Now the world is unstable, and the party disputes, rebellion and uprisings are endless. The root cause is that the Zhao family has forgotten that the foundation of the dynasty is the people. The current Zhao family is equally corrupt and even has it. I want to ask Guo Daxia, are you going to Xiangyang for the people of the world or fight for the Zhao family?"
Guo Jing's heart was filled with storm. He was unwilling to accept Li Haoran's remarks, but he had to admit that these remarks were very correct.
On one side is the education he received since childhood, and on the other side is what he yearns for deep in his heart. Guo Jing's face looked ugly, and he was in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.
Li Haoran didn't say anything more, sat quietly, drinking tea, and waiting. He had already said what he should say, it depends on whether Guo Jing could accept it.
After a while, Guo Jing finally made a move and asked with a serious look on his face: "Brother Li, I only have one question now. If a person does not have loyalty and righteousness, how can he establish the world?"
Li Haoran smiled slightly, "'If a person has no loyalty and righteousness, how can he establish himself?' This statement is very correct, and I agree with it! Have you ever thought that this kind of loyalty to a family and a family is true loyalty? If this is the so-called loyalty, then there is no so-called loyalty at all now, because Jiangshan itself was snatched by Taizu from the Later Zhou Dynasty. To be loyal, one should be loyal to the Chai clan."
Li Haoran paused and asked, "Haven Guo, what should we do to be loyal?"
Guo Jing was stunned. He had never thought about this question. Yes, the Song Dynasty stood up on Hou Zhou, but there were Li Tang, Yang Sui, Liu Han, Ying Qin, and Zhou Ji above the Hou Zhou Dynasty. However, Zhou Ji did not have it from the beginning. If you push it like this, where would it be! His mind was messy. He felt at a loss, and he suddenly felt that what he had been insisting on was so ridiculous.
Seeing Guo Jing's confused expression, Li Haoran knew that his words had worked, so he rang the railway while the heat: "Hero Guo, loyalty is the foundation of a person's life. If you don't have a loyalty heart, what is the difference between a beast? But you are wrong about your loyalty. True loyalty should be true loyalty to our Chinese clan and our Chinese people. Fighting for their interests and well-being is the true loyalty! This is the real righteousness! This is also the fundamental reason why the new dynasty can replace the old dynasty!"
Guo Jing was shocked, and he suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment. This sentence made him feel that the so-called loyal emperor seemed so small and ridiculous. He said in a solemn tone: "If it weren't for Brother Li's words, I wouldn't know why the real righteousness is! Yes, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
Li Haoran asked with a smile: "Haven Guo, do you still want to move your family to Xiangyang?"
Guo Jing said seriously: "This is a matter of course. But I am fighting for the people of the world, not for the unsuccessful Zhao clan."
Li Haoran admired him and praised him, "It is really admirable for the country and the people, but I hope that when things cannot be done, I will consider your wife and children more, and I will give birth to you. I believe that he is in the nine springs and does not want the Guo family to come to this point."
Guo Jing was shocked, and his mind was clear. He turned his head and looked at his beloved wife who had been with him for life, sharing weal and woe, and never left him. But when he saw her true feelings come alive, her bright eyes smiled and firm, as if he was not against him. In an instant, his heart flew to the past, and she was still the same tenderness and sweetness, and thousands of love strands were wrapped around him.
Guo Jing thought to himself: "Rong'er and I have been a couple for twenty years, spending most of our efforts on the world. In the martial arts world, we are really too neglected to her. If something happens to me, she will never live alone, what about the children? What should they do? Will they give up on themselves? No, the children of the Guo family will definitely not. In this way, wouldn't it be a loss of the Guo family's lineage?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat and felt that I owe Huang Rong too much.
When Huang Rong saw the long-lost tenderness, her heart was filled with endless admiration and attachment. He and his husband fell in love with each other, and she understood his heart at this moment.
After a long time, Guo Jing sighed and said, "Rong'er, I promise you that the day when Xiangyang City was destroyed is the time when we left the Song Dynasty. We went to Taohua Island to teach our children and no longer manage the world."
Huang Rong was extremely happy, tears kept falling, she couldn't speak, just nodding heavily. She had waited for this promise for too long, and this promise made her no longer worry and no longer afraid of losing him nightmare.
Li Haoran also smiled and said, "That day is also the time when I come to pick up Daxia Guo."
Guo Jing laughed loudly and said loudly: "At this moment, I already understand your hard work. The world and the Guo family are your hard work. I also promise you that I will persevere until your arrival."
