Hierarchy? Gate system? Unexpectedly, Song Que actually had the consciousness to oppose this? Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and his evaluation of the Song family increased by several points, and he quickly understood the reason.
Since the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of evolution, society has differentiated and various privileged classes have formed. Those at the top were scholars, followed by those who established households and unified the people, then were dependents, and the bottom were slaves.
Scholars were also divided into noble and lowly people from aristocratic families and common people from poor families, and they were very different. The divisions between them were extremely strict and could not be confused.
The noble family of the family is majestic and enjoys an absolutely superior position in politics.
"Sutras of many generations" and
The "Etiquette Family" has extremely strong economic power and occupies all the main resources of the country. The succession of dynasties and power has always occurred around them.
In an era when the clan system was prevalent, family reputation became the highest criterion for measuring status. This kind of privilege created a group of corrupt, ignorant, and high-ranking children who only pursued fame and fortune, and competed with each other with exotic clothes, luxurious entertainment, and leisurely banquets.
They live in another world of drunken dreams and death. The rise and fall of the country has become distant and unrealistic. They put family first in everything. They regard themselves as superior to others. They regard poor people and commoners as destined to work for them and let them do whatever they want. Flagellation of lowlifes.
The incompetence of the rulers and the inequality between the rich and the poor have led to increasingly serious land annexation. Fertile farmland has been concentrated in the hands of local tyrants and powerful people. Corruption has followed. Officials and powerful officials have colluded to seal off mountains and lakes, hindering the people's governance, leaving the people displaced and hungry. Corpses cover the fields, and the people have no way to survive.
There is an insurmountable gap between the two classes, the high-class and the low-class. The rift between the two parties is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no communication or dialogue.
The aristocratic families formed an interest group, occupying all the most important resources of the country, and regarded the poor families as slaves who could be trampled on at will.
The commoners from poorer families and lower classes were oppressed and exploited, and their resentment deepened. Only on the battlefield could they have the opportunity to rise through military exploits, such as the current period of war in the late Sui Dynasty.
In the eyes of many humble scholars and ordinary people, the children of high-ranking families are naturally very respectful to those who help them when they are fighting for the world. However, after winning the world, they are not just like birds and their bows. They are born in a powerful and wealthy family. How can you care about the life and death of the people below?
Therefore, these people who were once oppressed by the powerful clans are often more willing to join the rebel leaders with mediocre backgrounds, such as Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei et al.
For example, in the original work, Kou Zhong officially set his ambition to conquer the world. He fell in love with Li Xiuning of the Li clan for no reason, and felt that the other party ignored him, and wanted to use any means to improve his strength and status.
The root cause is the relationship between the powerful and the common people. On the whole, "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also a story about the rise of two people from the bottom of society, breaking through class restrictions and becoming the world's top grandmaster.
Among today's powerful clans, the Song clan's attitude towards people of ordinary origin is undoubtedly the best.
Song Que, Song Lu, Song Shidao and others all had no problems with their character. They were impartial in their conduct and had no intention of relying on their origins.
In Zhao Qing's view, the founder of the Song Clan was Song Beifeng, the leader of Xie Xuan's family in "Legend of the Frontier". He was a very good character himself and had the idea of resolving conflicts between the Han clan in the high clan. It can be said that he left a good legacy The inheritance; and Song Que himself integrated all the power of the family through ten battles against the Sui army, and relied on business to make the Song clan the richest power in the world in decades. His own ability is still above that of the family, He was not very constrained by his family; under this circumstance, he noticed the shortcomings of the decadent clan system in the Nanchen period, and thought about it based on Song Shidao's resentment.
With the mentality of "after getting the sword, you forget the sword", it is not surprising that you have some reform ideas.
In fact, in the original work, Song Que decisively disbanded the power of the Song clan after Gao Zhong gave up the fight for hegemony. This shows that he did not insist on the clan system, causing the entire Song family to withdraw not only from the court, but also from the world, giving up on the Song Dynasty. The mountain city has turned into ordinary people.
In "Dragon Fighting in the Wild", Song Shidao's grandson Song Kui is pursuing Song Que in his swordsmanship, but he is unwilling to become famous and has a low-key style. This shows that the descendants of the Song family do not want to get involved in disputes anymore, and they have the same relationship with other high-ranking officials. Essential difference.
Speaking of which, a person's attitude towards ordinary people often depends on his original origin and current status, so as to develop corresponding empathy.
Like Zhao Qing himself, he was an ordinary person in the beginning. He may be almost invincible in the Tang Dynasty world, but after returning to the main world, he is not a big shot and his sense of security is very limited.
Therefore, when she is able, she is willing to make the ordinary people here live a better life, so that she can live up to her heart.
The decadent clan system that monopolizes the common people's upward path is naturally one of the targets she plans to clean up next.
As for the hierarchical system of superiority and inferiority, the more advanced you practice, the more you will understand your insignificance in front of the heaven, earth and universe, so how can you develop a condescending mentality?
In addition, Song Que's attitude towards foreign barbarians is completely in line with Zhao Qing's views and has been verified in history.
Li Shimin
The grand ideal of "all Chinese, barbarians and barbarians love each other as one" sounds very moving and is in line with the trend of national integration. However, as Song Que said, if we let down our guard against barbarians, it will easily lead to disasters and real long-term consequences. Split.
The Anshi Rebellion that turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Song Dynasty's inability to regain the north are the best examples.
However, unlike Song Que who insisted on unification with the Han Dynasty due to foreign threats, in her opinion, as long as there is enough force to completely subdue the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall without leaving any remaining trouble, and achieve true assimilation, there is no need to worry about problems. .
After destroying the steppe and plateau countries such as Turks and Tuyuhun, without the intervention of external forces, these Hu people, who were actually descendants of Yan and Huang at first, were able to fully recognize their ancestors and become members of China.
... Thoughts flashed in his mind. Zhao Qing knew that Song Que had sensed his position and was riding towards him. He had no thoughts of victory or defeat in his heart, but only wanted to confirm the problem in the way of the sword.
The ice sword, which had already flown to the area where Song Que and his party were, followed her thoughts and quickly made a large circle, drawing an arc of light that illuminated the night sky, heading towards the direction of Song Que's movement.
Creating
"Sword Embryo" and after improving her mental cultivation again, she used a separate mana consciousness to merge with the sword intention and stationed it inside the sword body, simulating a kind of cessation of the first six consciousnesses and entering the samadhi of annihilation. state, amplifying the effect of mental power.
Coupled with the understanding of the light system and the energy of yin and yang, using invisible infrared light as the medium for transmitting energy, the effective distance of controlling the flying sword has experienced a huge increase, jumping from more than a hundred feet to more than ten miles in one fell swoop. scope.
If described in terms of realm, it is the same as transcendence.
"get the knife"
"Forgot the knife"
The realm of "between forgetfulness and gain" has some similarities in effect. The Cooking Man's Cutting of an Ox is a fable written by Zhuang Zhou, an ancient sage. It tells the story of a cook who is good at slaughtering an ox, and can solve the problem easily by inserting a thin blade into the gap between the bones and flesh.
For the cook who is undressing the cow, it is not that the cow is not there, it is just that he has entered the state of not knowing everything about the cow. so-called
The state of "forgetting the knife" means that after you get the knife, you no longer know what the knife in your hand is. The person is the knife, and the knife is the person.
The Taoist realm of "There is no complete cow in sight", Jin Zhi
"Both humans and cattle forget." If things are poor, the opposite will happen. If Tao is poor, it will change. In the sky and on the earth, it is impossible to look up and to look down.
"Forgetting the Sword" is the ultimate in the art of swordsmanship, and the extreme is poverty. How can it be in between?
"get the knife" and
The endless rambling between "Forgetting the Knife". Each sword is focused on the strength of the whole body and soul.
"Get the knife", when everything goes according to nature, the knife and the heaven and earth are one, no one is without me, for
"Forgetting the knife", can it matter?
"get the knife" and
"Forgetting the sword", grasping the power of oneself and the world at the same time is a higher level
"Between having to forget". The flying sword that Zhao Qing is currently displaying has reached the level of mobilizing his own power and the power of heaven and earth. Even though it is far away from the main body, it still has extremely amazing power, which is enough to compete with Song Que's heavenly sword.
It circled back to the position five miles outside Liyang City. The tip of the thin and crystal-clear ice sword was slightly adjusted. The seven rainbow lights surrounding it flashed back like waterfalls on both sides again, forming thousands of lines of light and shadow, as if an incomparable light appeared on the horizon. Brilliant Aurora.
In the eyes of the large number of Jianghuai troops who retreated to the barracks like a tide, a colorful streamer slowly dancing in the hands of the legendary goddess suddenly appeared. Falling to the ground.
While seeing this gorgeous scene, Song Que's eyes also lit up with unprecedented brilliance, and he sensed the nature of the light in front of him with an unimaginable intuition. He knew clearly that this was an attack from Zhao Qing, but his expression still remained. He was calm and composed, and seemed not to be surprised.
Ignoring the Jianghuai sergeants who were surprised and hostile at his sudden appearance, he clamped his legs around the horse's waist, and the white horse under him raised its head and neighed angrily. It suddenly accelerated to the limit and faced the aurora like a bolt of lightning. rushed away in the direction.
Accompanied by the sound of thunderous hooves, Song Que reached an unimaginable high speed on the horse that he had temporarily instilled with powerful energy, easily breaking through the obstruction of Jianghuai's army. At the same time, he slowly but steadily reached back to take out the knife and gave it to him. People have a strange feeling of blending movement and stillness.
Simply taking out the knife and pulling it out, every minute and every inch of movement is maintained at the same speed, and the speed is balanced and unchanged.
If Du Fuwei, the third master on the field, saw it clearly, he would be stunned and in disbelief.
It is very rare for people to be able to maintain a certain speed in their movements. You must know that any action is made up of countless actions in series. There are differences in speed and severity between actions. In Song Que's series of actions when he reaches back to take out the knife, each action is similar to the previous action. Repeated casting is an incredible miracle in itself.
Song Que's action of drawing out the sword is as if it is integrated with the heaven and earth and the deeper essence that is always hidden behind it. It is full of the flavor of constant change and ever-changing, with no gaps or flaws to be found. It makes people feel that he is following his move. The first sword that comes from this move will definitely shock the world and make the ghosts and gods weep. It has no beginning and no end.
At this point, the way of the sword has reached the level of unpredictable ghosts and gods. From this, it can be seen that Song Que has completely entered the realm when faced with the flying sword coming at extremely fast speed.
At the level of "getting the sword and then forgetting it", it becomes one with the heaven and the earth. Not only does it have no sword, but there is no one, leaving only the mind of the world and the people who are not connected to one thing.
The entire heaven and earth are extending, the earth under your feet expands to infinity, and the sky that has existed since ancient times covers the earth. For Song Que, he himself is the focus and center that connects the heaven and earth, as if he has become an immovable rock. In and out of existence, heaven, earth and people merge into one.
Forgetting the bright aurora piercing the night sky in front of him, forgetting victory and defeat, Song Que's mind became one with the illusion of heaven and earth. The true energy in his body was surging and endless, just like the sky and earth without limits, and with the stars above and below. The fields merged into one, blending into the darkness.
"Keng!" The heavenly sword was unsheathed, and everything could only be described in one word. At a high speed that was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, the Heavenly Sword flew out of its sheath and turned into a lightning-like rainbow, streaking across two feet of the void. It continuously made mysterious changes that were so mysterious and wonderful that it was beyond any description, yet it struck without any pretense. At the edge of the ice sword.
"Boom!" The energy surged across the sky, stirring up dust all over the sky. The white horse charging forward was still galloping wildly, but Song Que, who was originally riding it, strangely appeared in the air. His whole body spun like a top and flew in the air to discharge the remaining energy from the collision. force.
The seven-color rainbow light carried by the crystal ice sword seemed to stop suddenly, but it seemed to expand into a bright ball of light. Countless lights of various colors inside were constantly refracted and reflected, covering an area of dozens of feet in an instant. range.
With a distance of six or seven miles, in addition to the limited energy for transmission and mobilization, how to smoothly sense every nuanced change of the opponent under such circumstances is also a very important difficulty.
The ball of light spread out by this ice sword is exactly the means it uses to detect. As for the ability to bind the soul contained in the light, it does not pose much of a threat to top masters like Song Que who are extremely determined and whose mind is one with the world.
After all, this is just
The effects derived from the "Sword Embryo" technique are far inferior to those used by Zhao Qing at close range.
The power of the "Five Yun Heart Burying Sword" is closer to illusion, and there is no special power that blocks the senses.
And inside the ice sword, which was difficult for Song Que to observe, the tiny cracks were filled with a soft glow, and they returned to their original state in an instant.
It can be seen from this that the sword, which weighs a hundred kilograms and is made of dark iron, collided with each other. Even with Zhao Qing's ability, the sword was inevitably damaged.
However, seeing that Song Que still had to abandon his horse and unload his energy even with the help of his horse power, she was undoubtedly the winner by half.
Within the ball of light that was so brilliant that it could burn the eyes of an expert, the ice sword returned to its peak state, completely turning into a weightless light smoke that flashed like a god. It merged with thousands of illusory sword shadows of light and moved towards Song Que. He was pursued from his position.
After flying back for more than ten feet, Song Que suddenly froze in the air. He quickly fell down like a nail and landed on the ground. The simple and dark sky knife in his hand sank slightly and pointed upwards. The blade could not help but tremble, but It didn't make any noise, and it didn't feel the slightest bit of sword energy.
Every subtle change is integral and follows the pull of the Qi machine to respond to the unpredictable light of the ice sword to ensure that the moment of final impact is still the same as when the sword was drawn before. The sword pushed the sword's power to its most powerful moment without delay.
His mind was clear and clear, without victory or defeat, without joy or fear. The heavenly sword suddenly drew into the void, the light of the sword flashed, and all the vitality and death energy of the world were concentrated on the blade. The stars and moon in the sky immediately became eclipsed, as if they were competing with the ice sword. The radiating light complements each other.
Under the influence of the Forgotten Sword Realm, the Heavenly Sword is no longer a heavy weapon weighing a hundred kilograms, but is as light as a flying feather. The strangest thing is that it moves unsteadily. It seems to be attacking one point, but in fact it covers the sky and the earth. Those locked by the sword energy have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
