C4 An Ability to Rule the World an Ability to Rob the World's Heroes and Scoundrels
Chen Yu raised her head and puffed out her chest, and answered with a voice as loud as a bell: "When Ancestor Gao founded the world, the six kingdoms in Guan Dong had just calmed down, so with the eight hundred li of the Qin Creek as the foundation, as well as the danger of the Corridor, you could control the six empires from afar and attack them, retreat and defend them from above. That's why you, Ancestor Gao, on the other hand, have a deep foundation in your mind, living in the heart of the world, living in the danger of the rivers and mountains, living in the Luo Yang, you can rely on the dangers of the land, and take the land as your base."
"Oh my god, he actually answered it!" Everyone stared dumbstruck at Chen Yu, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets. No one could believe that Chen Yu managed to answer Xu Ziheng's question, and with such a good answer, how was this possible? This was completely out of everyone's expectations!
"Well answered!"
When Chen Yu said this, Xu Zi and Chen Qun looked at each other, clapping and cheering. They looked at Chen Yu with admiration, nodding and smiling.
How could this be?
Seeing this scene, Chen Qian couldn't help but stare with widened eyes. He couldn't believe that the words just now came from his foolish little brother. Was he still that idiot? Why did it seem like he had become a completely different person?
Chen Feng also looked at Chen Yu, his face full of excitement. He never thought that Chen Yu would be able to express such an opinion. This was totally beyond his expectations.
As for the others, they were all dumbstruck. They simply couldn't believe their own ears. How did this fool become so smart all of a sudden? Was there really a miracle happening in this world?
Chen Ji also looked at Chen Yu with an astonished expression. Of course, he knew about Chen Yu's situation. How could a fool say such obscure things? What exactly was going on today? Was it because his ears weren't working?
Chen Yu and Feng Er were better friends, and it was likely that these words were taught to him by Feng'er. He could not remember these words, as this child had indeed changed quite a bit. Chen Ji thought to himself.
"Second brother's answer is truly wonderful. Mister Xu, can you give me another question?" Chen Qian was unwilling to give up. He believed that Chen Yu's luck wouldn't be as good as it was always. If he could come up with another question, she would definitely be able to test him.
Xu Zi nodded and said, "To be able to hear such an eccentric answer from my little friend, I feel very gratified and deeply approve. This is truly something that a scholar can teach. Then, I'll give you another question and see how you answer it."
Xu Zi cleared his throat and continued, "When we were fighting in the Han Dynasty, the light of my men was everywhere, but now my country's power is weaker than before. Why is that?"
This is the time of the heavens and the earth. During the time of the Han, the country was vigorous, the people were militant, and there were many difficult generals like Wei Qing and Huo Quou. They were powerful in their country, but they were weak in their own right. Chen Qian answered once again.
Immediately, everyone expressed their opinions. The majority of them shared Chen Qian's view, thinking that it was due to the natural disaster that the imperial court was exhausted and that it was not something that could be salvaged by human means. Chen Feng was the only one who had a different opinion. He believed that the decline of the Han Dynasty had a great deal to do with the Emperor's rational administration. Because of the alternation of the power of the eunuchs and the unknown employment of the court, there had to be a limitation of the government. Although Li Ying and other righteous men were present, they were unable to reverse the general situation of the country's decline.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Zi nodded his head repeatedly. It could be seen that Chen Feng's words were very much in line with Xu Zijian's intentions.
Finally, Xu Zi looked at Chen Yu.
"My second brother is very intelligent, so he must have a better opinion than Uncle Feng." Chen Qian kicked the ball to Chen Yu again, but not twice. This time, Chen Yu would definitely reveal her original form.
Chen Qian's words pushed Chen Yu into a corner. If his answer was not as good as Chen Feng's, then everyone would think that Chen Feng had taught him how to answer that question. But normally, how could his knowledge be better than Chen Feng's? Therefore, he was still a fool, a fool who would repeat the words of others.
In Chen Yu's mind, everything related to the Eastern Han Dynasty kept flashing. Finally, a light flashed in his mind, and he issued the first and boldest speech he had ever made in his life.
"I feel that after the Effulgence Weapon, the imperial court would be in darkness, and the eunuchs in the outer court would be in power alternately. This is a man-made disaster, and also the cause of the country's weakness. However, it is not the root cause."
"What's the source?" Xu Zi was stunned, he had not expected Chen Yu to have a new opinion, he could not help but ask.
"The root of the problem lies in the Feudal Lords system!" Chen Yu said in a clear voice.
"Nonsense!" Chen Ji could not help but get angry. He said with a cold voice, "The sect's system is the foundation of my big man. Because of the sect's system, my big man is able to continuously have people entering the imperial court to become an official. The country has a long peace." Chen Ji said.
As one of the beneficiaries of the feudal system, Chen Ji was extremely disgusted by anyone who attacked the feudal system, especially his own juniors. He would absolutely not allow anyone in his family to rebel against him.
"Elder Chen is right, young friend, you are too sensational." Xu Zian nodded.
"It is precisely because of the clan system that the land is annexed by the clan, that the citizens do not have the land to cultivate it, and will sooner or later fall into chaos, and the imperial government knows that as well, but all the officials at all levels are monopolized by the clan, and even the Emperor himself was born in the clan to rule the world. As a result, the imperial government cannot destroy the foundation upon which they depend for their survival, and as a result, for a long time, the land became the property of the clan. How can a country not be weak? "
The room had become so silent that even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone was staring at Chen Yu in a daze. Was this the Yingchuan Fool who had shamed their family? Did that really come from his mouth?
"Brat, you talk too much!" "How dare you!" Chen Ji shouted. His beard fluttered in anger. Chen Ji was a staunch supporter of the gatehouse system. He could not tolerate such outrageous defection and denunciation of the gatehouse system among his descendants.
Chen Qun gazed at Chen Yu with a strange expression, as though he was thinking about something.
Xu Zi took a deep breath and stood up, sighing, "This child will not be an outstanding official in the future. If he doesn't rule the world, then he will steal the world and rape the heroes!"
In the blink of an eye, four months had passed since Chen Yu arrived in this world, and it was already the sixth (AD 183) year of light and spring. Ever since the shocking test of the family, Chen Yu's life had undergone a tremendous change, and the way everyone in the Chen family looked at him had become different. Even Chen Qian, the eldest brother, started to look at him seriously.
How could someone who had received Xu Zi's criticism of him as a "thief of the world and a traitor" be an ordinary person? However, all of this was limited to the internal affairs of the Chen Clan. In Ying Chuan, those outside the Chen Clan still treated Chen Yu as a fool.
Spring rain fell gently, droplets of spring rain fell on the vast land. The rain was filled with hope, bringing with it the desire to harvest. Outside of Xu Chang City, a lush green grassland had just emerged, giving people a feeling of vitality in the early spring.
Chen Yu and Chen Feng were sitting side by side on the grass, looking at the distant wilderness. Chen Yu was already fourteen years old. In two more years, he would reach the age of the weak and become a true adult. At that time, he would have to rely on his own hard work to win his name.
"Wen Xuan, I didn't expect you to become so smart after getting sick. Others will never call you an idiot again." Chen Feng said lightly.
Father said that after this busy period, he would ask me to take you to Mister Han Rong's place. Father said that among the younger generation of the Chen family, besides Chen Qun, we are the only two people who can create good fortune. Chen Feng continued.
"I look forward to this day." Chen Yu nodded. Chen Yu's heart was filled with emotion. Although Chen Ji was not happy with his attack on the clan's rules, he had already acknowledged himself in his heart, and comparing him to Chen Feng now, this was undoubtedly a huge progress. From now on, the family would definitely use more resources to train him, and the chances of him becoming proficient would be much higher.
