Chapter 642: Long En
A knife is indeed a good knife.
It was light weight and tough, and Zhu Houzhao danced in her hand for a while, but she was so scared that the eunuchs beside her looked like earth, afraid that Zhu Houzhao would have any accidents and hurt the dragon's body.
Ye Chunqiu smiled meaningfully. It was obvious that a knife was a good knife, but Ye Chunqiu had other purposes, so he said, "Your Majesty, I have a heartless request."
Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood and was playing with the straight knife in her hand with great enthusiasm, and said, "You said that."
Ye Chunqiu immediately said, "I want to ask Your Majesty to give this knife a name."
Give a name...
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh... I think it makes sense when you say this. This knife should indeed have a good reputation."
Zhu Houzhao seemed very serious and was always willing to do what he liked. Otherwise, if a emperor would not enjoy wealth and honor, why would he have such a deep understanding of military affairs? This is because Zhu Houzhao had really used his thoughts and spent a lot of effort on this.
The two hit it off. One was eager to leave his own traces on the weapons of the new army, and the other was more thoughtful. In essence, this was actually a reason to ask the leaders for the inscriptions. The new army in Zhenguo is now famous and has high morale, with only more than 100 people, so the pressure on supplies is not great, and even a little extravagant. So what is missing?
Ye Chunqiu only thought of one thing...or, the self-cognition that an elite army needs the most.
Who am I, what I do, why am I here, what my future is, what kind of person I will become.
I believe that many people will unconsciously ask this question to themselves on quiet nights.
A person without self-awareness is prone to being confused and at a loss, and more people will feel that what they want to do now is meaningless.
How can we help the new army in Zhenguo boost this self-awareness? Defeating the Warriors camp was a step, which gave them a strong sense of pride. They suddenly realized that they were so powerful, but what happened next? Ye Chunqiu was determined to strengthen this self-awareness ability. Everyone yearned for themselves to be different from others. In fact, people were different from others, so how could they be superior to others? So... the unreasonable behavior of the rich people appeared, such as LV packages, Bentleys, Less-Royces... and so on, they were actually some kind of strengthening of self-awareness.
I am different from you, because you don’t have the things I have.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This knife is good, what about it? How about cutting a tiger with a knife? It is a real man."
"..." Ye Chunqiu's face suddenly became a little stiff. Sure enough... it is very important to improve his cultural level. Why does it sound like a pig's knife?
Ye Chunqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I think this should be called a sword, not a knife."
"Is it a sword?" Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the straight knife and looked at it repeatedly.
No, why is it a sword? Of course, this is indeed very similar to a sword, but it is not a double-edged one. Where is it a sword?
Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the sword is used by military men, but the sword is a weapon of a gentleman. Most of the new army are scholars. This sword is similar to a sword, so it is not too much to call it a sword. Moreover... I think that the name given by Your Majesty should be more elegant."
"Uh..." Zhu Houzhao was stunned again. Scholars have so many intestines.
Ye Chunqiu obviously came prepared. Although the sword and sword are only one word different, the meanings in this era are completely different. For example, the scholars allowed the sword to be worn, why did it be allowed? This is related to the Confucius. In Confucianism, the sword is the "monarch of all soldiers" and is a noble decoration. From emperors to literati, everyone likes swords to show their identity.
If Zhu Houzhao gave the name "Sword" and would fall into a inferior position in this era of emphasis on literature and suppressing martial arts, but if the name is "Sword" and the new army is required to be worn by the new army, it would be of extraordinary significance. Only scholars can match the sword, but the new army officers and soldiers are each handed, and the emperor gave the name himself. What does this mean? It means that the emperor attaches great importance to the new army.
So... With this, when someone asks themselves, who am I and what I should do, this sword reminds them that they are different from others. They are the ones among the people. They can be in the new army in Zhenguo, not a helpless move. They are very glad that they have become lucky and can become the new army in Zhenguo.
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "You guys..."
He finally understood Ye Chunqiu's little thoughts. Ye Aiqing is good at everything, but scholars have more colorful intestines. Zhu Houzhao likes to go straight and doesn't like this, but he starts to be serious again and still has to be elegant?
Well, you have to think about it carefully.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes: "Since the sword is a gentleman, why not call it a gentleman? The sword of a gentleman, a little bit simpler, it is a gentleman sword, ha... This is a good name. All the new troops under my command are gentlemen. Although I think the tiger sword is more powerful, the gentleman sword is also very good."
Ye Chunqiu opened his chin and couldn't close it anymore.
Gentleman Sword...This name seems familiar?
Suddenly, the image of a dead eunuch with a demonic aura flashed through his mind. Damn, this ticket seemed to be a bit big.
But Ye Chunqiu was a person who had always been sensitive. He quickly realized that the extraordinaryness of this gentleman's sword, at least in the eyes of scholars, is naturally a scholar. The gentleman's sword is not a scholar's sword. In this era when scholars are respected, the new army wants to be different from Qiu Ba, which seems... this is the best choice. Only by strengthening this understanding can the new army go further.
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "Thank you for your name. When casting the gentleman's sword, I will engrave the name given by your Majesty on the body of the sword so that the new army in the country can wear the sword and always remember your Majesty's grace."
When Zhu Hou saw Ye Chunqiu's eyebrows were overjoyed, he couldn't help but touch his chin. The beard under his jaw was still showing his head. He couldn't help feeling good about himself.
I...it seems to be talented, and my elegant name is really coming soon. At this moment, my thoughts are like a spring, and I suddenly want to recite a few poems.
Gentleman's Sword...Haha...
Zhu Houzhao was happy, but his eyes finally fell on a spear again. Then, Zhu Houzhao picked up the spear, and Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good spear. It was still very light in the weight. It could not feel too much weight in the hand. However, the spear was known for its lightness, but most of the ordinary spears were made of wooden poles, but there was a spearhead at the front.
However, this spear was made of all steel. Compared with the wooden spear, it was just one in the sky and one under.
