Zhou Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this. He opened his mouth several times to ask who his opponents were, but he hesitated. He knew very well that if Chen Xi could talk to this extent, he really did not regard them as enemies. This has already been involved. This is the core thing of Liu Bei's side. .? Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu with disappointment in his heart. If Zhou Yu wasn't so smart, Sun Ce would have the impulse to ask directly what kind of enemy he is, where he comes from, and what kind of strength he has. Chen Xi would definitely be on the spot. Just gave a reply. "It's a pity that Zhou Yu was so smart that he stopped asking directly without any intention of continuing to ask. Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Xi to continue to tell these things. Jia Xu, Li You, Guo Jia, Fazheng, Lu Su, and Liu Ye are all watching. There are some words that Chen Xi cannot speak at this time. This is about the legal winner and loser, or to put it simply, Master-slave relationship. Although these things are said in Chen Xi's opinion, they don't actually have much impact. With the current absolute advantage, there is no difference between the uprising before taking action and the surrender on the battlefield. However, people in this era are very particular about this, so Chen Xi also needs to Think think. "If Zhou Yu asked and Chen Xi said it directly, then with Chen Xi's current status, he would be able to tell the truth. But if Zhou Yu didn't ask, then Chen Xi couldn't take the initiative to tell the truth. "Thank you." Zhou Yu turned around and sat back in his seat. Before he sat down, he sent a message to Chen Xi, "Not to mention other people's problems, at least you who sit in a high position uphold a public spirit. It should even be said that you have always upheld your integrity. Right, planning for the country, the nation, and China? " Chen Xi opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Yes, he gave the people a way to rise, gave the princes the ability to practice their ideals, and gave him the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with important civil and military ministers. The opportunity given by the sages gave the family the opportunity to fulfill their ancient vows and restore their ancient glory. All of this was the path he pointed out. Is it just publicity? Chen Xi was a little silent. No, what he had from the beginning was not publicity, but selfishness. The Chinese civilization stands proudly on top of the world. From the perspective of Chinese civilization, it is publicity. From the perspective of the world, it is pure. Selfishness. But this selfishness occupies one-fifth of the world¡¯s morality, and carries the justice that countless people have continued from ancient times to the present, from the beginning to the end. From legal principles to morality in this world, we are the only ones qualified to run the history of mankind with civilization! I personally think so! During the five thousand years of the great country, civilizations around the world have risen and fallen. During the five thousand years of chess, countless chess players have rotated. From the past to the present, and then to the further future, there are only chess players who have been on the chess board. That leaves China. Five thousand years ago, ancient Egypt and other ancient civilizations joined us in the chess game of the world and faced the great flood of gods, leaving behind endless myths. But now, what about them? ??The civilizations who were chess players with us five thousand years ago, tell me, where did they go? ??Four thousand years ago, the Mesopotamian and Mesopotamian civilizations played with us, creating words, writing the beginnings of their respective civilizations with bronzes, and leaving behind countless legends. But now, what about them? The civilization that was a chess player with us four thousand years ago, tell me, where did they go? Three thousand years ago, the philosophers of ancient Greece and the poets of the Aegean Sea, together with our sages, used words to express the philosophy of the world, each laying the foundation of culture for future generations and leaving behind a splendid civilization. But now, what about them? ??The civilizations who were chess players with us three thousand years ago, tell me, where did they go? Two thousand years ago, the conquerors of ancient Rome and the warriors of the Han Dynasty were also chasing each other to the north. They madly used their own force to establish the future territory, leaving vast land for future generations and leaving behind endless intrepidity in history. , but now, where are they? ??The civilization that was a chess player with us two thousand years ago, tell me, where did they go? A thousand years ago, the rulers of Arabia and the emperors of the Tang Dynasty possessed endless treasures, an exciting and prosperous territory, and a splendid civilization, which can even be glimpsed in history books. The remaining treasures can vaguely reflect the glory of the past, but Now, where are they? ??The civilizations who were chess players with us a thousand years ago, tell me, where did they go? Even in the era when Chen Xi left, we were still sitting on the chessboard. Our former opponents had turned into the dust of history. The chessboard rotated, and we were the only ones sitting on the throne! "Yes, I am completely public-minded. I stand on top of the world and look down on them. Only we are qualified, because to this day, everyone who has witnessed the beginning of history is dead except us! Only we have truly shouldered the burden of civilization. It's so heavy!" Chen Xi said to himself with a smile while raising his glass. ¡¾If we are not qualified, no one in this world is qualified to lift the crown., the peaks and troughs of history, the passage of time, whether the opponents on the chessboard today can exist tomorrow is still a question, only we will survive forever. ] Chen Xi smiled silently. Rather than letting the defeated dog that is doomed to disappear stand on the top and howl and bark, it is better to prevent those civilizations from appearing in the first place. After all, their future is destined to disappear, and Chinese civilization has always existed from beginning to end. In this case, wouldn't it be better to directly merge the Chinese civilization and the history of human civilization! ¡¾Thinking about it this way, I not only have a public spirit, but I should even say that even my ideals have never changed from beginning to end. Well, it will make it easier for future generations of liberal arts students to learn history. ¡¿Chen Xi's mouth curled up. Ever since the future was completely ruined, Chen Xi had rarely been in such a good mood. "Zichuan, you seem to be in a good mood." Liu Bei asked with a smile. "Yes, because there is absolute justice." Chen Xi said with a touch of pride, "We are justice!" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion, completely unable to understand what Chen Xi meant by this, and what it means that we are justice. It sounds like we were not just in the beginning. In the classical militaristic system, is it unjust to conquer other countries? Are you kidding me, classical militarism, conquering other countries is called following the natural way, such as tigers chasing deer, natural selection, tigers eating deer, that must be justice! It is not natural for a deer to be eaten by a tiger! How can this be said to be unjust? The loser gets nothing. Isn't that a matter of course? Justice, well, the winner is the embodiment of justice, and everything lost is nonsense. Chen Xi was too lazy to care about Liu Bei's standard classical militaristic thinking. After Zhou Yu asked back and understood that he was not selfish, he did have absolute justice. Regarding the attacks of barbarians and barbarians, Chen Xi has always believed that he can subdue them if he can. If he can't subdue them, if he kills them, Chen Xi will not pursue them too closely. Chen Xi¡¯s definition of intelligent life from the beginning is civilization. There are no intelligent creatures that carry the weight of civilization. Chen Xi never considered them to be the same kind of creatures from the beginning. Barbarism, killing, looting, etc. are etched in the bones and blood of a race, which is equivalent to the animal nature. Although Chen Xi will not go out of his way to slaughter, as a non-Mother, he will not do it after certain things have happened. Go out of your way to repent and think that you have done something wrong. "Pests are pests," Chen Xi didn't even bother to explain. But for intelligent life with civilization, Chen Xi is actually not inclined to destroy it. This is the so-called conflict between ideals and morality. Just like Cao Cao chose to break through the moral bottom line to realize 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 defeated all the enemies in the Central Plains, he actually reached the level of torture of ideals and morality. Relatively speaking, Chen Xi¡¯s ideal is very clear. Chinese civilization stands proudly at the top of the world, establishes a pan-Chinese cultural circle, and allows this civilization and human civilization to continue forever. In exchange, this ideal almost means killing many surrounding civilizations, and intelligent life forms that can carry civilizations have their own shining points. The military conquest of classical militarism means the destruction of so many civilizations. In fact, Chen Xi feels very morally guilty, but the choice is already obvious. Even without Zhou Yu's words, Chen Xi has already made the choice , moral guilt and so on are not as important as ideals. Although Zhou Yu¡¯s rhetorical question made Chen Xi realize that his so-called moral guilt actually did not exist at all. He should have stood at the highest point of justice and morality to hold other civilizations accountable. But in fact, Chen Xi has realized that he is actually 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 angle. In other words, for him, pure good and bad are no longer It's hard to describe. [No wonder, at that time, I clearly guessed that Wenru and Wenhe would be killed for up to 300,000 yuan, but I would simply expose it. Probably for me who had broken through the moral bottom line at that time and was mentally prepared, The deaths of hundreds of thousands of people are just a number. Sure enough, once the bottom line is exceeded, many things will become much more casual. ] Chen Xi held the wine glass with a slight bitterness in his mouth. ¡¾It should be said that many things have been a little biased recently. Sure enough, if they are not upright, or if they are not upright, their actions must be wrong. But fortunately, since they will disappear eventually, they should disappear in my hands. ] Chen Xi thought silently. "Zichuan, you seem to be in a good mood?" Li You sent a message to Chen Xi and said. "I suddenly want to talk to you about the casualties of that massacre of the family." Chen Xi sent a gloomy message to Li You.Tao. Li You disappeared decisively, and there was no trace left. Chen Xi shook his head silently and stopped pursuing it. He just carefully recounted what happened during this period. Although many things were a bit extreme, fortunately he woke up earlier. Otherwise, he would have continued to break his own bottom line. , something will happen sooner or later.
