Chapter 718: Liu Xing's Ambition (Medium)
Rivers and lakes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
In later generations, in the era of martial arts novels "raging and poisonous". The term Jianghu seems to have become a world where chivalrous people have no scruples. Full of passion, full of temptation, full of mystery, full of colorfulness in change.
However, the term "jianghu" is derived from Taoist philosophy and has multiple meanings in Chinese culture.
Rivers and lakes have nothing to do with rivers and lakes, nor are they a place of actual existence. It refers to a state of life for people who wander around, sell their arts, and sell medicines.
Jianghu usually refers to the people who are far away from the court and the public; In many Chinese literatures, especially in martial arts novels, Jianghu is the scope of activity of the chivalrous people, and even the synonym of the black society.
Later, it also generally referred to the social and historical environment in ancient times that did not accept the control of power, command and legal constraints.
As a result, the term "rivers and lakes" has gradually evolved into more negative or specific terms, such as "mixing rivers and lakes", "running rivers and lakes", "breaking rivers and lakes", and so on.
Mixed means mixed ****, running means selling art, selling medicine, etc., wandering to survive, and breaking is those who are unwilling to convert to the so-called righteous path of the world to step into society. There is also the word "sinister rivers and lakes", which makes it clear that the rivers and lakes are a place of right and wrong.
The two words "rivers and lakes" can refer to the three rivers and five lakes in geography, but the word "rivers and lakes" is a pair of words.
In the Central Plains culture, there are other meanings, such as "Zhuangzi - The Great Master": "When the spring dries up, the fish are on land, and the wetness is wet, and the foam is wet, and it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." The rivers and lakes in the river refer to the vast and leisurely adaptability.
Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower": "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people; is far away from the rivers and lakes, and is worried about its king. The term is used to refer to civil society. It has the meaning of being the opposite of the imperial court.
It is also because the high-ranking hermits are unwilling to be under the command and control of the imperial court. Disdain the career and look down on pride. is free from the place of suitability, so the rivers and lakes have also been cited by later martial arts novels as a society where heroes and chivalrous people roam.
Because the kind of life in martial arts novels is not a normal order of life, in later times, only the **** ecology with violent conflicts as the norm will be close to the so-called rivers and lakes, so the word rivers and lakes has evolved into a more negative or specific term, such as "mixed rivers and lakes", which means mixed ****;
"Old Jianghu", a metaphor for a well-informed negative character; "The rivers and lakes are sinister", referring to the place of right and wrong. And the well-known phrase "people are in the rivers and lakes." "Involuntarily" means that people are in a specific environment, and often do things that are not out of their own will because of the pressure of people around them......
Joining the sect is the beginning of mixing rivers and lakes for the so-called people in the rivers and lakes today. Liu Xing is now the suzerain of the four major sects, holding the orders of the four major sects, in fact, deep down he understands better than anyone else that the sect is actually on the opposite side of the imperial court due to a certain interest relationship at a certain level.
But as the saying goes, people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, they don't want the world to be in chaos, heroes usually adapt to the times first and then become heroes who create the times.
Xiang Yu is very bullish, didn't he first live under the so-called tyrannical rule of the Qin Dynasty for many years before he followed his uncle to rise up and become a hero of the times?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are also very good. Wasn't it a hospital in the bureaucratic system of the Qin Dynasty before, and like Liu Bang, the pavilion chief and the founder of the Han Dynasty, he first adapted to the times for a long time. Is it the one who changes the current situation and creates a new one?
Therefore, the people in the rivers and lakes cannot be underestimated, rather than being directly enemies of the rivers and lakes, Liu Xing thinks that it is a better choice for him to continue to be with the rivers and lakes.
Otherwise, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people in the rivers and lakes, and he will take revenge in his heart and want to show it calmly. Because even Lian Hui, Liang Xing, and even Wu Jue and Yang Yizhong, they actually have Jianghu backgrounds behind them. Therefore, it is more certain that it can only be relied on, and naturalization is the best choice......
With this thought, Hui said that he was afraid of dying too many people in the rivers and lakes and taking profit as the first goal, and he was afraid that it would cause chaos in the rivers and lakes, and Liu Xing did not have any unhappiness.
"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed?"
With a playful smile, Liu Xing looked at Hui and said: "I didn't block the way for those people in the rivers and lakes to serve the court and the country, but they themselves must resolutely be in their wilderness and not enter the court." My chivalrous pavilion was turned into a chivalrous island by Zong Xin's kid, and in less than half a month, more than 200 chivalrous warriors from the rivers and lakes have served.
The words stopped slightly, and Liu Xing's face sank: "Other people in the rivers and lakes don't want to come back, why should I think so much about them?" If you don't want to create a new era with me, why should I bother with it? Those who can fight side by side are afraid that they occupy the majority in the world today. ”
Stopping again, Liu Xing's face completely turned into a black cloud and said: "Those who follow me are prosperous, the Shenxiao faction is based on Yanshan, the Heavenly Master Dao returns to Qingcheng, and Quanzhen owns Wangwu Bailing alone, and the Leopard Forest family dominates Songshan." What I have given should allow the people of the world to see clearly the prosperity of the four major sects. Those who oppose me die, those other sects who don't want to listen to me, dare to resist, I can dominate the world, and naturally I can dominate the rivers and lakes. ”
Domineering, after listening to these words, Hui deeply felt the more and more powerful domineering on Liu Xing's body, and now that domineering has leaked into the rivers and lakes.
Dominate the world, Liu Xing is not boasting.
Although it is inevitable that Zhong Xiang's rebellion is a foregone conclusion, he is not ready there and needs some time to prepare. But even if he rebelled, it was just a game of chess that Liu Xing deliberately laid out, a chess piece on the chessboard.
Even if Zhong Xiang rebelled in the future, he was just like Zhao Gou, the King of Kang in the Southern Dynasty, who was all fish and meat to be slaughtered on the chopping board. It's just that the time is not right, Liu Xing doesn't want to kill too many innocent people, so they can survive.
Dominating the rivers and lakes, Liu Xing is not arrogant.
He is a peerless poisoner, the connections of Yang Yizhong, Liang Xing and others, plus the four major sects have a total of about 35,000 disciples.
As long as Liu Xing gives an order, whether it is Buddha or Tao, whether it is martial arts or Confucianism. No sect can withstand the onslaught of such a powerful force in the rivers and lakes.
If there is really a day when Liu Xing openly shouts out to unify the rivers and lakes, Hui seems to have seen the scenes he witnessed and experienced in the past when the new Ninth Five-Year Plan freshened up the rivers and lakes, causing the bloody and bloody scenes of the rivers and lakes to be re-displayed in front of him.
Not only to unify the country, Liu Xing also wants to dominate the rivers and lakes. Although Hui Li heard from his words that at least Liu Xing was not ready to really clean up the rivers and lakes so far, he firmly believed that it was only when the time came, and there would be a new king to clean the world again.
