Chapter 269 My Heart is Like Mountains and Seas, Loading the Universe
"Oh, it sounds better when spoken than when sung!"
Zhang Julu still had a cold expression on his face. He stared at Xu Chunlin and said coldly, "Sitting in that position, people will change. Power can make people crazy, alienate people, and abandon everything."
"Can you not change your mind and your ambition?"
Xu Chunlin sneered and said, "The power brought by the throne of emperor is not enough to change my ambition. You underestimate me."
"If you want to accomplish extraordinary things, you must first be an extraordinary person!"
"Who said my ultimate goal is just to be an emperor?"
"Oh?"
Zhang Julu showed a curious look on his face, and couldn't help asking: "I would like to hear about your ultimate ambition!"
Xu Chunlin did not speak directly, but said in a deep voice: "Do you know Huang Longshi?"
Zhang Julu couldn't help but frown, obviously not having a favorable impression of that man: "Huang Sanjia? That Chunqiu devil?"
Xu Chunlin shook his head and said, "Rather than calling him the devil of the Spring and Autumn Period, I would rather call him: a man with lofty ambitions and extraordinary talents."
"Huang Sanjia used his three-inch tongue to disrupt the Spring and Autumn Period, and brought the Qi of the eight countries of the Spring and Autumn Period into the Jianghu. The entire Jianghu entered a new year like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The land fairyland that is rarely seen in a hundred years has appeared more than ten in this era."
"But the price of doing so is like overdrawing the fertility of the land, so that there will be no more good years in the future, only bad years. He did this for two purposes, one for the government, and the other for the underworld."
"He disrupted the Spring and Autumn Period and allowed Li Yang to unify the Central Plains. His goal was to have a unified dynasty, and this unified dynasty was different from the previous Qin Dynasty and Dafeng Dynasty."
"Due to the chaos of wars among the nine kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the aristocratic families were destroyed, allowing more poor families to have the opportunity to serve as officials in the court. And you, the blue-eyed Zhang Julu, also guarded the path to promotion for the poor families and changed their fate."
"The purpose of transferring Qi into the martial arts world is to exchange a temporary chaos for a hundred generations of peace."
"Xu Xiao rode his horse across the world and destroyed several sects. Han Shengxuan strangled the seedlings of the first-grade realm and destroyed tens of thousands of secret manuals and future masters."
"After this life, without those land immortal realms, there will be very few first-grade realms. Warriors will not be able to abuse their power to violate the ban. They can only abide by the law."
"But Huang Sanjia's plan will not stop there. He will promote the imperial examinations, so that Confucian scholars will not use their writing to disrupt the law, and will become more and more disciplined. He will also make the lingering martial arts world return to silence, and warriors will no longer dare to use their strength to disrupt the law."
"According to his prediction, the martial arts world in the future will not be able to stop the emperor from being angry and causing millions of deaths, just like letting a common man be angry and causing blood to splash three feet to confront the former. Everyone has his own destiny."
"In the future, there will be no generals or ministers of different races, and even peddlers and porters can become emperors. The fewer immortals there are in the martial arts world, the more chivalrous people will be valued. The martial arts world is not in the world, so it will not die. What's wrong with the martial arts world being without those flying immortals?"
“Although such a world is not as exciting as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Nine Kingdoms Period, where counselors can rule the country, bring peace to the world, or bring disaster to the country, and warriors can travel to the North Sea and Cangwu to fight against an entire country, such a world is the most peaceful for ordinary people.”
"If Huang Sanjia's plan is followed step by step, his future move should be to integrate the people of the Central Plains into the Northern Wilds, and use the culture of the Central Plains to change the Beimang's habits of bravery and war, or in other words, to transform the nomadic people into an agricultural people."
"So he spread the prophecy that Li Yanglong, Bei Liangmang, Bei Mang Jiao, and Bai Yi might be killed together, in order to promote the formation of a three-legged tripod as soon as possible."
"Although the three powers will only lead to constant killing and unrest for the people, and cause constant wars, it can accelerate the process of integration. In Huang Sanjia's opinion, it is worth exchanging decades of chaos for a hundred years of peace."
"In summary, Huang Sanjia's goal is to break the old social system, eliminate class differences, eliminate the need for scholars to have family backgrounds, select scholars based on their talents, and abide by rules instead of using literature to disrupt the law."
"It is impossible for warriors to become earthly immortals or even the first rank, it is impossible to use martial arts to arbitrarily ban, it is impossible for the martial arts world to be higher than the imperial court, and it is impossible for the dragons in the martial arts world to be like carp in the pond." "This is to allow people in the world to have a chance to choose freely, so that the social classes will not be solidified, and the poor will have channels to rise. No one is destined to be born, and nothing is taken for granted."
"It's like an old farmer who turned over the entire Spring and Autumn field. He can be called a book turner, but I prefer to call him a field turner. He has the ability to change the old and establish the new, to change the world, and to recreate the universe."
"But unfortunately, he encountered me, a variable!"
After listening to Xu Chunlin's words, Zhang Julu couldn't help but sigh: "Huang Longshi's focus is far better than mine. Although he is in the underworld, he stirs up the world. I am not as good as him!"
"I guess Huang Longshi is under your command now?" Zhang Julu suddenly asked.
Xu Chunlin nodded: "Not bad!"
"Although Huang Longshi's plan is good, it is petty after all. What I can bring to him is a new chapter of prosperity and a world pattern that he dare not imagine anyway!"
Zhang Julu seemed to be interested at this time: "In that case, I would like to hear your plan."
Xu Chunlin smiled, looked up at the vast sky, held up his hands, and said: "Of all the water in the world, nothing is greater than the sea. All rivers flow into it, and there is no telling when it will stop and not be full; the tailgate drains it, and there is no telling when it will stop and not be empty; it does not change during the spring and autumn, and there is no telling when there will be floods or droughts. The amount of water flowing through the rivers cannot be measured."
"The immortals in heaven fish for the fortune of the human world, and regard the human world as a lake and the dynasty as a dragon carp, just like fish on a chopping board, allowing them to eat and slaughter them as they please."
"The human world is too small to be a lake, and the fairy world is too small to be a river, not to mention the so-called rivers and lakes. All rivers flow into the sea, and the sea contains all rivers. My heart contains them all!"
At this moment, in Zhang Julu's eyes, Xu Chunlin's image instantly became extremely tall, as if he was a giant holding up the sun, moon, stars, and his heart had a magnificent vision of swallowing the universe.
"I want the human world, and I want the fairy world too!"
"The Confucians disrupted the law with their writings, while the knights violated the law with their force. Both were criticized, but scholars praised them in the world. As for those who used tactics to become prime ministers, ministers, and high officials, and assisted their rulers, their achievements and reputations were all recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals, so there is nothing to say about them."
"Everyone in the world is at my disposal!"
"My heart is as free as the mountains and the sea, carrying all things in the universe, allowing thousands of sails to race and tens of thousands of carps to compete for the dragon. Just as I said, I wish that all the people in the world can be like dragons!"
"But in such a prosperous time, I need someone to help me. I wonder if you are willing to do so, sir?"
Zhang Julu was directly shocked by the magnificent scene described by Xu Chunlin, and couldn't help but show his longing for such a prosperous era. Perhaps, Xu Chunlin was the wise leader that would be rare in a thousand years!
Zhang Julu looked at his headless body in the snow, as if he had let go of his obsession, and chanted casually:
"The old body is shed and the new soul is born, the carp turns into a dragon on the red steps. The great cause of the ages is waiting for you to start, and your achievements will be recorded in history forever. I wish to help the wise ruler to create a prosperous era and write a new chapter for the benefit of all people."
Zhang Julu's voice sounded particularly firm in the cold wind, as if it had crossed the boundary between life and death and resonated with Xu Chunlin's ambition.
"Blue-eyed boy Zhang Julu has spent his whole life paving the way for the poor, and his death is an honor. However, if there really is such a prosperous era, and everyone in the world can be as powerful as a dragon, I will die without regrets!"
He turned slowly and looked at the vast sky, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The two people at this time.
One is born in the world, the other wanders in the underworld.
One snowstorm, two proud characters!
