Mythical Three Kingdoms Chapter 1044 - 1000: I Have Not Decayed

"It is necessary for you to recreate the forr glory of the aristocratic families. In my opinion, apart from a few families here, the rest have already betrayed the path paved by their ancestors. The legacy of our predecessors is not for us to rest on their achievents, but to stand on their foundation and journey further!" Chen Xi raised his voice slightly.

"Everyone here should ask yourselves, if one day you fall, when you et the ancestors who expanded Huaxia and those who laid the foundation of civilization, can you tell them what we have done for the world?" Chen Xi continued speaking.

At this mont, so of the younger family heads were already feeling ashad. Here I must ntion the education of the aristocratic families, as the seed of the next family head, much of what they learned in their youth was about the glory of their ancestors and certain classics of the sages.

One of the most evident aspects of this education is its brilliance; the glory of the sages is enough to make any young and inexperienced youth’s blood boil. It can be said that when they were young, all of these people harbored aspirations of achieving deeds surpassing those of their predecessors.

Just think of young Cao Cao; the classics depict ancestors as towering figures. Concealing the virtues of esteed individuals is human nature, and except for a few divine beings like Sima Qian, who wrote without embellishnt, such practices are generally rare.

Especially when it’s your own family embellishing the ancestors; they erge as unsurpassably grand and towering figures. At least, it’s difficult for young people to pick out flaws from generations of embellishnt, and when such images are imposed on their imaginations, it would be strange not to imagine them.

Even those present, including Yuan Shu, Xun Shuang, Chen Shang, and Chen Guang, once had such experiences. They too fantasized that they would excel beyond their ancestors, but now, I fear aside from a few who still persist unwaveringly, the others have been defeated by reality.

You must know, even Cao Cao once envisioned fighting for the world, restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty, and striving to beco the Han General of Western Campaigns. This shows the impact of aristocratic education on the young.

Though this influence gradually fades over ti and with the erosion by reality, one must admit, the aristocratic family mber raised in this way has once been passionate!

"Lord Ci Ming, do you wish to surpass your ancestor Xunzi?" Chen Xi spoke in a tempting tone, delivering rebellious words.

"..." Xun Shuang gave a bitter smile; really, who wouldn’t wish this? What’s the point of living a lifeti without leaving so mark, just waiting to die?

Do you truly think the Xun Family was founded by Xunzi, or the Kong Family was founded by Confucius? What a joke; there were more than thirty generations before them, with earlier ancestors who defined the origin of their surnas, laid the foundation of civilization, and even established territories!

Why is it counted from Kong Qiu and Xun Qing? Precisely because they were stronger than the predecessors, stronger to the extent they overshadow all their glory, strong enough for their nas to endure for subsequent generations!

Since Confucius of the Kong Clan, only the surna Kong remained; this becos the strongest distinction, directly segregating a surna, and it is an exceedingly glorious surna. Though they still have a connection with their original surna, from that mont, they ceased to be a branch of a tree but beca another tree.

"May I ask, what have you done for the world? Please, tell , what are you currently doing for the world?" Chen Xi said, looking at all the heads of the aristocratic families, "Tell , honestly!"

"How do you inform the ancestors when you et them? Tell them that because of your land annexation, exploitation of the people, leading to chaos in the realm, people displaced, and consequently allowing foreign clans to invade, the state in turmoil, all that the predecessors left behind handed over to others?" Chen Xi slamd his hand on the table, speaking with imnse anger.

"Don’t act as if you can’t see; those who can beco family heads here, especially the ones in the first row, either possess their own courage, have their foresight, or their determination. Tell , do you really not know?" Chen Xi this ti didn’t spare even the clan elder of the Chen Family while scanning through them. Do these people truly not know?

"Lord Ci Ming, Master Zhang, Elder Chen, Head of the Wang Family, you’ve all been residing in the north for a long ti; tell , do you know?" Chen Xi, seeing no one speak, directly called out their nas.

"Hehehe, those Barbarians, have we ever truly lost a fight with them?" Yuan Shu mocked smilingly.

"Then tell , if Physician Hua hadn’t stopped the plague, once it spread from Xuzhou to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, what would happen!" Chen Xi stared at Yuan Shu.

"..." Yuan Shu was silent, having never thought about this issue.

"Can’t say, can you? Let tell you, just your group of family heads lacking even the basic ability to discern right from wrong, three outbreaks of typhoid, and this place is enough to clear out seventy percent!" Chen Xi sneered, "Honestly, I have little regard for you, you’re too lowly, it shas to associate with you!"

"If I weren’t from an aristocratic family myself, I would absolutely not leave you alive, casting you into the trash of history, allowing you to be eliminated and decay by history!" Chen Xi looked coldly and ruthlessly at the people below, "Say ’help’ as a favor to you, and you really think I need you!"

"Feeling very angry, right? If you’re angry, it proves what I said is wrong, doesn’t it? Thinking about taking action, but you’re so worried!" As Chen Xi spoke, Yuan Shu directly flipped the table in front of him and hurled it at Chen Xi.

"Bang!" A dull sound rang out, and the whole table overturned by Yuan Shu turned into powder, and then a gust of Inner Qi directly blew the powder out of the door.

Chen Xi stood silent for a mont; he had just habitually said sothing, and Yuan Shu dared to act. asuring Yuan Shu up and down, Yuan Shu anwhile remained undaunted, while Jii Ling was ready for a rescue.

Although it was just a mont, the atmosphere imdiately grew tense, given that the relationship between the Yuan Family and the landlords here was already strained, and now pulling this stunt, isn’t it a prelude to a fight?

"Gonglu, you’re still as impulsive!" Xun Shuang coughed twice, at this mont, only the little old heads of those top families from the First Sequence dared to speak up.

"He said such things, why shouldn’t I act? Is my Yuan Family one he can humiliate?" Yuan Shu said calmly but solemnly.

Chen Xi touched his bridge of the nose, stood up, kicked the table in Yuan Shu’s direction, then Jii Ling prepped to do the sa thing as Hann Qiong.

"What, am I wrong? Has the Yuan Family not decayed? Look at your governance, then look at Mount Tai of Qing Xu!" Chen Xi sneered.

Yuan Shu was silent, then slowly said, "I haven’t fallen, so everything is still uncertain. As long as I live, the Yuan Family won’t decay!"

"Not yet decayed?" Chen Xi mocked, "Use your eyes to look at your governance, don’t say I don’t know, don’t tell you don’t know what our ancestors once did!"
