Uncle Wang gave the prince a long lecture this time, finally making the exiled prince realize the problems of the Fire Nation. He encountered so many things along the way, and now everything is clear, and many conflicts broke out that led to his own experience.
"I understand, but after thinking about it, it seems that a big defeat is really needed to solve the Fire Nation's problem." Once you know the contradiction, you also need to know how to solve it. Just knowing the problem is useless.
How to solve it? The prince found that it was exactly what Dulan said. He had to save money in order to invest money in a new direction. The new direction of the Fire Nation must be to convert the military into civilian industrial technology. But if it does not fail, it will not stop.
Expansion, talent and funds will still give priority to the army and military industry.
Uncle Wang also nodded heavily and said: "Sometimes long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Even if the Fire Nation really occupies a territorial power, it will eventually face the dual resistance of the Earth Power and the Fire Nation. When the army has no land to conquer, it will be invincible. It can be fought, but soldiers still have to spend money and eat. It’s a bottomless pit, which is constantly consuming finances, but the Fire Nation has no money at all. When the time comes, the people will rebel, and the soldiers will also rebel."
This has to mention the death of Qin II. The Qin Dynasty can be said to be a successful case of expansion, but after completing the expansion, it soon collapsed. The once invincible Qin army seemed to have suddenly lost its combat effectiveness.
It was obvious that it was easy to defeat the regular armies of the Six Kingdoms, but it was impossible to defeat a group of peasant uprisings. But I don’t know how many of these peasant uprisings were also veterans of the Qin State.
Uncle Wang thought that if it failed now, the Fire Nation might still be able to exist. If it completes its expansion and is overthrown, whether the Fire Nation can still exist is a question. "In short, this is the way the world is. Nothing is only good, even drinking tea.
, and occasionally get burned in the mouth." Finally, there was a philosophical concluding speech, leaving the prince to think about the rest.
The prince thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. There was no way to get the best of both worlds. Cutting off the strong men's wrists and disbanding the army might be the best way.
"I'm going to find the magical power." The prince decided to cooperate with the magical power to defeat the Fire King.
Uncle Wang smiled happily, seeing that his eldest nephew had really grown a lot. However, the power of the supernatural power was also very weak now. If he wanted to defeat the Fire King, he still had to wait until the supernatural power mastered the realm of supernatural power.
Returning to the Magical Zoo first, the prince found that Sokka had gone, leaving only Jay who was in a trance. He seemed to have been shocked by some kind of soul, and he was completely demented.
"He was thinking about life. Just now..." Dulan told the prince that Suoka's statement of 'using the right to defeat the unjust' just made this young man who was bent on revenge get confused.
The prince felt that what Sokka said made sense, and now his mentality had changed, so he said to Dulan and Jie: "I'm sorry for one thing, but I have to say it now. My real name is Zuko, and I am from the Fire Nation.
The exiled prince."
Jie's expression suddenly became distorted. It was very complicated. There was anger at being deceived, hatred and hatred, and even more unexpected shock. He didn't expect that the person who came to Yonggu City with him through the refugees was actually the crown prince of the Fire Nation.
?My biggest enemy? He is gnashing his teeth at this moment, as if he will attack at any time.
But the things that made Jie collapse were still happening, and Duran said without surprise: "I saw your portrait in the Fire King's Palace. Although you were not disfigured in the portrait, the first thing I saw when I saw you was
I know your identity right away. Let me also introduce myself, Dulan, the swordsmanship teacher in the Fire Nation's court and Princess Azula's military advisor, but now I have betrayed her."
"??" Jie felt his neck was a little stiff. He felt that he was now in a black organization, surrounded by undercover agents, and he was the only one who dedicated his life to the black organization. The others were either the Fire Nation's crown prince or the Fire Nation's court swordsmanship teacher.
Is there any heavenly principle?
When the prince saw Dulan being honest, he also asked curiously: "But I heard that you are dead."
"Haha, your sister is still too young to kill me." Dulan said, "Since you have confessed your identity, it seems that you have made a decision to stand on the opposite side of the Fire Lord, right?"
The prince nodded heavily: "I used to worship him and thought everything he did was right, but now I know that my father was just tied to the chariot and could only keep moving forward until the chariot was destroyed with him.
, otherwise it can’t be stopped. Then it’s up to me to destroy the Fire Nation’s chariot, and it’s up to me to stop him.”
"Not bad, not bad." Dulan said it was good.
Jie was already in confusion. The guys from the Fire Nation were openly discussing the future of the Fire Nation on the land of the Earth Power Nation. Did they take the Earth Power Nation seriously?
"You bastards!" Jay exploded.
However, Duran said: "Calm down, now you should know what Sokka said. If you follow your approach, you can indeed relieve the hatred in your heart, but it will not unite the conscientious Fire Nation people. And Sokka and the others will stand up for justice.
Being able to unite everyone is the meaning of justice."
Hatred is not everyone's business. Even if there is hatred between the country and the family, not everyone feels the same. But justice ensures everyone's interests and can unite everyone as much as possible.
At that time, Confucius supported observing filial piety for three years. One of his disciples said that one year was enough. Confucius asked him if he felt good about it. The other man said that he felt good about it. Confucius had no choice but to say that since you feel good about it, you should observe filial piety for one year.
Well, in the end Confucius could only scold me behind my back for being unkind.
Even a saint can't make his disciples agree on the same thing. Jie is not a saint, so naturally he can't make everyone feel the hatred he carries. The magical team can't feel it, and the exiled prince can't feel it, so Jie is lonely. Sometimes
He will also reflect on his hatred, but in the end he still can't let it go.
Hatred seems to have become an obstacle for Jie to cooperate with others.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but their desire to protect interests is the same. Everyone will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but some people can overcome it, even if thousands of people die.
So when it comes to hatred and revenge, the person involved must be excited, but the onlookers only find it funny. But if the bad guy will come to destroy the interests of the onlookers, so for the sake of justice, everyone will defeat the bad guy together, and the onlookers will join in.
.
Jie was stunned. It made sense, and he couldn't understand it, but now even the exiled prince must unite under the banner of justice to fight against his motherland. It seems that Sokka's banner of justice is indeed stronger than his own motivation for revenge.
"Even if it makes sense, I don't want to cooperate with people from the Fire Nation." Jie still couldn't let go of his hatred.
"What is your revenge goal? If you just want to take back the land and kill the invaders who occupied the land, you can do it in your hometown. Why come to Yonggu City? When you come here, you also hope to find a way of peace.
To follow the path, you must first let go of personal hatred." Duran said: "Hate is too limited, but transforming the Fire Nation is a major event that requires everyone to participate. Hatred can be your personal motivation, but it cannot become
The motivation of everyone. So you can hate, but if you choose to participate in the creation of peace and achieve a goal that requires everyone's help, you must learn to restrain hatred."
Du Lan once again showed his strength as a life mentor, saying that there is no need to give up hatred, but hatred must be restrained and the general direction of cooperation cannot be destroyed because of the overflow of hatred.
