The narrator said: Ye Yu, why did you write about Emperor Xin before? I think you were a bit whitewashing Emperor Xin, the King of Shang Zhou.
Ye Yu glanced at the narrator and said: I am not whitewashing, I just told the historical facts I know and made my judgment as an independent thinking person. And in Di Xin’s article, I’m talking about real history, not the novel “The Romance of the Gods”.
Moreover, even in the novel "The Romance of the Gods", Di Xin's villain identity is poorly portrayed. In today's terms, the author of "The Romance of the Gods" is illogical and a major failure. Then I will talk about it from the world view of the novel "Feng Shen Yan Yi".
Di Xin is the Human Emperor. He represents the supreme being of the entire human race and the human world. He is equal to the Emperor of Heaven in terms of status. You can tell from the name. People in the Shang Dynasty called their leaders "Emperor", and only from the Zhou people did they call their leaders "King". "Emperor" had a higher status than "King". This can be seen when Qin Shihuang established the imperial system in later generations. Emperor refers specifically to the emperor, the supreme ruler. A king is a king with the same or different surname who is granted a title by the emperor and is fixed in a certain place. All these prove that since ancient times, in the concept of ancient people, "emperor" has a higher level than "king". Otherwise, do you think Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng is a fool?
So take the most talked about scandal in the novel, "Going to the Nuwa Temple to offer incense and writing poems to tease Nuwa". The conclusion is that it is quite stupid. It is because the novel does not use any logic for the sake of being black. It belongs to It's just for the sake of being black.
Di Xin is the human emperor, equal to the heavenly emperor in terms of status. So Nuwa's status is lower than that of the human emperor Xin. If you put aside the inherent premise that King Zhou is tyrannical and think about it, why would a person with a high status offer incense to someone with a low status? Just think about why people usually burn incense? Is it because death is a big deal? So have you ever seen a slave owner put incense on a dead slave? There is only one answer, and that is the person being worshiped with incense. His status is higher than his own.
Therefore, Emperor Xin had no reason to offer incense to Nuwa. Nuwa was not worthy in terms of status. But Emperor Xin's veteran minister Shang Rong told Emperor Xin about Nuwa's contribution to creating humans and patching up the sky. When Emperor Xin offered incense to Nuwa, it was not because his status was lower than that of Nuwa, but because Emperor Xin showed respect for Nuwa's achievements.
Imagine that a person in a superior position behaves respectfully because of the contribution of a person in a lower position. How do you think the character of that superior person could be worse? From the current perspective, that is something that only the protagonist "Guang Weizheng" in the Internet article can do, and it is used to establish a "tall and superior" persona!
And take the poem written by Emperor Xin teasing Nuwa as an example: "The scenery of Feng Luan Bao's tent is very special, all decorated with gold and gold. The winding mountains are flying green. The sleeves are dancing gracefully to reflect the clouds. The pear blossoms are beautiful in the rain, and the peony cage is Yancheng is charming and beautiful. But she must be charming and able to move, and she can take back Changle to serve the king."
Is this poem a tease? Do you know what it means?
Let me briefly explain the meaning first: Emperor Xin first praised the splendor and elegance of Nuwa Temple, and then began to imagine Nuwa's beauty. He imagined that Nuwa's eyebrows must be as beautiful as the distant mountains, and her hair must be as beautiful as the mountains in the distance. Black and shiny. Nuwa is wearing a long skirt with fluttering sleeves, like a colorful dress in the sky. Even the delicate face of pear blossoms and rain is not as beautiful as yours. Your charming makeup is fascinating. She even joked at the end, Nuwa, you are so beautiful, if your actions can be enchanting, why don't you come back with me and be my king's beloved concubine?
I have to admit that this poem is a little rude to women, but at this level, it is at best like a "master of flirting with girls". And women are generally very happy inside, so can Di Xin’s behavior be considered a hooligan? You want to say it was ancient times. In ancient times, the most important thing was about status and inferiority. So that poem is the appreciation and gift given by the superior man to the inferior woman.
Therefore, even in the novel, the story of Di Xin teasing and insulting Nuwa is not true at all, and there is a logical error.
So do I need to say the following? I've said enough
. . .
Returning to the Demon Clan Camp, the atmosphere was very funny and embarrassing. In front of the "famous" Sixth Elder, those geniuses and elders did not dare to speak. After all, the Sixth Elder was the Sixth Elder, with unparalleled fighting power, and what was even more terrifying was that he was a madman. If you say anything wrong, if you make this lunatic unhappy, and if he chases you and chops you, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky. So the tent that was supposed to be the big camp where things were discussed was silent at the moment. Before coming, the saint sons of the three great demon tribes, Green Lion, White Elephant, and Dapeng, were told by their ancestor Qian Ding Ling Wan not to take the initiative to provoke Ye Feng and the Sixth Elder. So the three junior brothers were very curious: the Sixth Elder had a bad reputation, and it was wise not to offend him, but a mere human race could be on the same level of "not to be messed with" as the Sixth Elder in the eyes of the ancestors. So what happened to Ye Feng? What kind of person?
But it can be imagined here that the three demon alliance leaders will naturally not tell others about being kidnapped by Ye Feng and kneeling on the ground, even if that other person is their own holy son. Because it's too embarrassing, no, it's a shame.
Therefore, although the Holy Son is in charge of this exploration of the secret realm, or in other words, it is the Holy Son of the three demon clans, Green Lion, White Elephant and Dapeng, in fact, it is the Sixth Elder who is in charge, otherwise the fourth person in charge would be Chaos. Is it staged?
Therefore, the Sixth Elder did not speak, and no one dared to speak. Then there was silence in the meeting tent for a long time. The Sixth Elder finally spoke:
"You can discuss the matter without paying attention to me. This time I am only responsible for the safety of the three leaders of the Demon Alliance, the Holy Son, and I will not care about anything else. As long as you don't cross my bottom line, I won't make it difficult for you."
Good guy, as soon as I finished speaking, everyone started to discuss the matter. It’s not that they don’t respect the Sixth Elder, but the Sixth Elder has spoken for everyone to discuss the matter, so everyone is worried that if they don’t discuss the matter, they will offend the Sixth Elder’s bottom line. , after all, this person is a real madman!
At the meeting, the saint sons reached a consensus. Now they are in the human world, the enemy's home court, and their realm is suppressed. Therefore, we must try our best to avoid direct conflict with the opponent on the opponent's home court, because it is unwise to wait until they enter the secret realm to kill them. During this period, the Holy Son of the Blue Lion asked the Holy Son of the Eagle Clan, can the people of the Monster Clan who are lurking in the ancient forces of the human race maintain normal hidden contact? Got a positive answer
The content of the discussion will not be detailed here, but there is one point worth mentioning. That is, none of the three alliance leaders, the Holy Sons, said that "you must not take the initiative to provoke Ye Feng", because their three ancestors told them many times before leaving, and this matter is an absolute order and absolute secret. Since it is an absolute secret, naturally it cannot be told.
The Sixth Elder naturally knew that even if he had to kill the Holy Son, he could not let these three people provoke Ye Feng. After all, he himself could not defeat Ye Feng.
Then let’s talk about the human race.
