OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 124 WAR AND POWER
"It is the duty of a king, not just to sit still on the throne. To sleep even a king never really sleeps, because if you are careless then you will wake up in the state of your country has been scattered formless. This kind of responsibility, who can bear it?"
Xiao Yi's words now were like waves hitting the reef, loud and sharp.
"But if being king, we can establish justice and peace in this world, why don't we try to shoulder that responsibility? Wouldn't it be a very noble person, someone who could put the interests of the people first rather than oneself?" Prince Yan Chyou said, he can string up words of wisdom because he is quite smart and loves to read various books.
"Prince Yaoshan turned out to be very wise" Xiao Yi said as he coded Chu Cu to pour a glass of rice wine to Prince Yan Chyou.
The praise from Xiao Yi made this calm-faced prince smile in satisfaction, he was sure he was a strong candidate of being a king.
"But a king must be firm and strong, otherwise the kingdom he leads will be destroyed. Because the pillar of a nation in disdain is the power and influence of a king!" Prince Yan Yaoshan said out loud.
"Look at Your Majesty, His Majesty's brothers and sisters turned out to be wise and courageous people, what makes His Majesty worry again, if they are beside His Majesty, this country will be written in history from generation to generation as the greatest empire of all time." Xiao Yi allowed Prince Yan Yaoshan to drink a glass of wine that Chu Cu had served in a porcelain cup.
"Yes, I didn't realize that my sisters grew up and were so talented. They are brothers who have always been in all seasons of my life." His Majesty threw a haru smile, which made the two princes so breathless and embarrassed in their hearts, remembering how they wanted to eliminate the elder brother to immediately sit on the king's throne.
"But, is being smart and strong enough to build a peaceful, prosperous and just country?" Xiao Yi suddenly frowned, like he was remembering something in his head.
"There is a story about a king of war that my mother told me when I was very young, there was once a nation, led by a king that many people thought was very unfair, the nation he led felt oppressed and and and treated violently under the reign of the king." Xiao Yi stared at Prince Chyou with such a warm gaze.
"A general who felt himself wiser and smarter saw this and touched his heart to make peace. He wanted to give justice to all the people, who he thought were not properly cared for by the king. Then rebelled the general, fought the government and overthrew the old king who was considered incapable of being just and wise for his people." Xiao Yi sighed, he felt a little uncomfortable as all pairs of eyes were now looking at him. Even His Majesty did not blink looking at the concubine.
"He had good reason to succeed the king, that is, to make progress for the nation he led.
The old king was killed and his body thrown away for animal food, then the General made himself the new king, united his people and made their nation the most powerful and great nation, so he thinks their nation is the truest of all nations." Xiao Yi looked at the hard-faced and haughty Prince Yan Yaoshan.
"But can power satisfy a man who feels himself smarter and wiser than others? Apparently not, power never felt enough as long as he felt that there was something higher than himself, the nation led by this new king attacked the other nations, he said, on the grounds that the other country must enjoy justice like the country he leads, so he was dubbed as the king of war. They attacked with thousands of troops, killed all the men who resisted, seized the women and killed the defenseless children, plundered all the possessions of the colonies under the pretext of war for justice."
Your Majesty, it's like listening to a story from his father when he was a child, when how they fought to overthrow the predecessor king, but is it true that their kingdom has truly prospered now? The intelligent Xiao Yi was like he wanted to advise one king and dampen the ambitions of two princes at once with a story without being presumptuous.
"After his success in conquering a small kingdom, the king of war was finally addicted to killing other larger cities, the wealth of his people was obtained quickly even at the expense of the innocent people of other nations. What was he thinking again? didn't the king get a lot of money and women?" Xiao Yi was like he was asking the air that suddenly turned cold.
"And lastly, is everyone always satisfied with a King? Of course not, a king always has a weakness in the eyes of others, however wise he is. So there is always a reason to overthrow the old king and seat the new king. Too weak, too strong, too rich, too fair, too evil and even too good can always be the reason to open a new war.
Power always makes others glare to want to hold it, if not accompanied by a humble and humble attitude." Calmly Xiao Yi took a cup of tea and gave it to His Majesty.
"Whatever the nation may be if it is founded on the blood of many, established by colonizing other nations, there must always be rebellion and dissatisfaction of the occupying people and the colonized people.There is no pure peace that can be achieved by sacrificing many people to achieve it even with our better beliefs and wise of others." Xiao Yi finished the story.
Everyone who was in the room, looked at Xiao Yi with a feeling that was completely indescribable. They harbored different feelings for an sacrificial concubine who was soon to be raised to be the queen.
They underestimated a young girl from the northern Yanzhi border, by the frozen river, Yalu. A place that even grasses were reluctant to live there.
As it turns out, living in a secluded place and limited circumstances does not make one an insightful fool.
