Chapter 2096: Five Thousand Years of Great Country
Zhou Yu was silent for a long time when he heard this. He spoke several times to ask who the opponents were, but he wanted to speak but stopped. He knew very well that Chen Xi could really not treat them as enemies when he could say this. This already involved the most core thing on Liu Bei's side.
Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu in disappointment. If Zhou Yu was not so smart, there would be some impulse for Sun Ce to speak but his brain, and he asked directly what kind of enemy he was, where he came from, and what kind of strength he had. Chen Xi would definitely reply on the spot.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was so smart that he stopped asking directly, and there was no intention of continuing to ask. Chen Xi naturally could not continue to tell these things.
Jia Xu, Li You, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Lu Su, and Liu Ye were all staring at him. Chen Xi could not speak at this time. This was related to the victors and losers in the legal principles, or simply to put it simply, the relationship between master and slaves.
Although these things do not seem to have much impact in Chen Xi's opinion. Before the uprising and surrender on the battlefield, the results are no different from the current absolute advantage, but people in this era pay attention to this, so Chen Xi also needs to think about it.
If Zhou Yu asked and Chen Xi said it directly, then with Chen Xi's current identity, it would be simplified. But if Zhou Yu didn't ask, then Chen Xi could not take the initiative to say it out.
"Thank you." Zhou Yu turned around and sat back to his seat, and sent a message to Chen Xi before sitting down, "Not talking about other people's problems, at least you are in a high position and uphold the public spirit. You should even say that you have always been upright, planning for the country, the nation, and China?"
Chen Xi opened his mouth and said nothing. Yes, he gave the people a way to rise, gave the princes the ability to practice their ideals, gave the civil and military officials the opportunity to compete with the sages, and gave the aristocratic family the opportunity to complete the ancient oath and restore the ancient glory. All of this was the way he pointed out.
Is it just a public heart? Chen Xi is a little silent. No, what he carries is not public heart from the beginning, but selfishness. Chinese civilization stands proudly on the top of the world. If it is public heart from the perspective of Chinese civilization, it is public heart, and pure selfishness from the perspective of the world.
But this selfishness occupies one-fifth of the world's morality, carrying the justice that countless people have continued from ancient times to the present, from the beginning to the final. This world has the only one who is qualified to run through human history with civilization!
I think so!
For five thousand years, civilizations around the world have risen and declined. In the past five thousand years, countless chess players have rotated, from the past to the present, and then extended to the further future. The only chess players who have been on the chessboard are left.
Five thousand years ago, ancient Egypt and other ancient civilizations were together with us in this chess game in the world, cleaning the gods and leaving endless myths, but now, what about them?
The civilization that was with us five thousand years ago told me where did they go?
Four thousand years ago, the Mesopotamia, the civilization of the Two Rivers, played with us as humans, and created words, and used bronze ware to write the beginning of their respective civilizations, leaving countless legends, but now, where are they?
The civilization that was with us four thousand years ago told me where did they go?
Three thousand years ago, ancient Greek philosophers, Aegean poets, and our ancestors used words to tell the philosophy of the world, each laying the cultural foundation for future generations and leaving behind brilliant civilizations. But now, what about them?
The civilization that was with us three thousand years ago told me where did they go?
Two thousand years ago, the conquerors of ancient Rome and the frames of the Han Dynasty were also chasing the north, and using their respective forces to lay the territory of the future, leaving vast land for future generations and unstoppable powers to write history, but now, what about them?
The civilization that was with us two thousand years ago told me where did they go?
A thousand years ago, the Arab rulers and the emperors of the prosperous Tang Dynasty had endless treasures and a moving and prosperous territory. The brilliant civilization could even be seen from historical books. The remaining treasures could vaguely show the glory of the past, but now, what about them?
A civilization that was with us as chess players a thousand years ago told me where did they go?
Even when Chen Xi left, we were still sitting on the chessboard. The former opponents had turned into dust in history. The chessboard was rotated, and only we were sitting on the throne!
"Yes, I am completely public. Standing on the top of the world and looking down at them, we are only qualified, because today, all those who have witnessed the beginning of history are dead except us! Only we have truly cared about the heavy burden of civilization!" Chen Xi raised his glass with a faint smile and said to himself.
[If we are not qualified enough, no one in this world is qualified to hold the crown. The peaks and troughs of history, the passage of time, whether the opponent on the chessboard today can exist tomorrow is a question, and only we can last forever.] Chen Xi smiled silently.
Instead of letting the defeated dogs who are doomed to disappear stand on the top and bark wildly, it is better to let those civilizations stop appearing from the beginning.
After all, their future is destined to disappear, and Chinese civilization has always existed from beginning to end. Since this is the case, it would not be better to directly merge the history of Chinese civilization and human civilization!
[When I think about it this way, I not only have a public aspiration, but I should even say that even my ideals have never changed from beginning to end. Well, it will be easier for later liberal arts students to learn history.] Chen Xi's lips, since he was completely defeated in the future, Chen Xi has not been in such a good mood for many times.
"Zichuan, you look in a good mood." Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"Yes, because of absolute justice." Chen Xi said with a faint arrogance, "We are justice!"
Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion, completely unable to understand what Chen Xi meant. What we mean was justice. It seems that we were not justice at the beginning. The classical militarist system, conquering other countries is called injustice?
What a joke, classical militarism, conquering other countries is called the way of nature, such as tigers competing for deer, competing for nature, and tigers eating deer, that is definitely justice!
It is not natural to take deer for food by tigers! How can this be said to be injustice? The loser has nothing, is it not natural to take justice? Justice, well, the winner is the embodiment of justice, and everything you lose is nonsense.
Chen Xi was too lazy to care about Liu Bei's standard classical militarist thought. After Zhou Yu asked the question, he realized that he was not selfish, and he did have absolute justice.
Chen Xi has always been holding on to the barbarians and Hu people who can conquer them, but cannot conquer them. If they are killed, Chen Xi will not pursue them too much.
Chen Xi’s definition of smart life from the beginning was civilization. There was no intelligent creature that carries the weight of civilization. Chen Xi never considered it the same creature from the beginning.
The beastly nature of barbarism, killing, robbery, etc. is burned in the blood of a race, which is equivalent to beasts. Although Chen Xi will not deliberately slaughter, as a non-Holy Mother, he will not deliberately repent after something has happened and think that he has done something wrong.
Pests are pests, and Chen Xi simply disdains to explain.
However, Chen Xi is actually not inclined to destroy the intelligent life of civilization, which is the so-called conflict between ideals and morality.
Just as Cao Cao chose to break through the moral bottom line to achieve his ideals, and Liu Bei would rather stick to the bottom line and give up his ideals than agree with the wrong approach, after Chen Xi wiped out all the enemies in the Central Plains, he actually reached the level of ideals and morality.
Relatively speaking, Chen Xi’s ideal is very clear. Chinese civilization stands proudly on the top of the world, establishes a pan-Han cultural circle, and allows this civilization and human civilization to continue forever.
In exchange, this ideal almost means killing a lot of civilizations around you, and the intelligent life that can bear civilization has its own highlights.
The military conquest of classical militarism means that so many civilizations will be destroyed. In fact, Chen Xi is very morally guilty, but the choice is already very obvious. Even without Zhou Yu's words, Chen Xi has already made a choice, moral guilt and other things, and no ideal is important.
Although Zhou Yu's rhetorical question made Chen Xi react, his so-called sense of moral guilt actually did not exist at all. He should have stood at the highest point of justice and morality and questioned other civilizations.
But in fact, Chen Xi has already realized that he is not a bad person. As a person who can break through the moral bottom line for his ideals, he is not a good person from any perspective, or it is difficult to describe the pure good or bad for him.
[No wonder, I obviously guessed that Wenru and Wenhe would probably have 300,000 people killed, but I would have simply revealed it. Perhaps for me who broke through the moral bottom line and was mentally prepared at that time, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people were just a number. As expected, once the bottom line was broken, many things would be much more casual.] Chen Xi held the wine glass, with a little bitterness in his mouth.
[It should be said that many things have actually been biased recently. If you are not upright, or if you are not upright, your actions will definitely be wrong. But fortunately, since they will eventually disappear, it should also disappear in my hands.] Chen Xi thought silently.
"Zichuan, do you look in a good mood?" Li You said to Chen Xi by sending a voice message.
"I suddenly want to talk to you about the casualties of the family that slaughtered the destruction of the aristocratic family." Chen Xi said to Li You with a gloomy voice.
Li You disappeared decisively, and there was no text below.
