C2555 Different aesthetics (1/2)
Beautiful? A huge question mark formed in Ludwig II's heart. He absolutely did not believe that these politicians, who were filled with schemes and schemes, and those generals who reeked of smoke, could have anything to do with beauty!
Xiao Letian could see the disdain in his eyes, he knew that this king did not refute him because of the diplomatic etiquette.
Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, ”Your Majesty, the beauty that you care about is nothing more than a place between mountains and rivers. ”Hold on.”
”Therefore, you are fond of building castles in scenic areas, and like to collect historical paintings and sculptures. Even the maids and palace guards by your side are handsome men and beautiful women!”
”But for real politicians, there is more to beauty in their eyes than that! The beauty in their hearts is actually the strength of a nation's rich people! ”
”Perhaps you, King, have walked to the people of the Bavaria and personally understood the suffering of the people. But I'm afraid you haven't traveled all over the world to see what real suffering is like? ”
”You haven't seen the corpses that littered the grounds after the bloody battle, have you? And you have not seen how miserable the cities and countryside are! ”
”Have you ever seen a massacre that is neither good nor bad? I'm afraid you wouldn't even dare to imagine the cruel persecution of civilians! ”
”Under the famine that lasted for several years, people were forced to eat other people's food. In exchange, they would eat their own children, gnaw their own bark, and eat Guanyin's soil. Have you ever thought about such a tragic scene?”
”Because you were born with a great fortune. From the moment you were born, you have lived in a fairy tale of heaven. Of course, you do not know that hell is also in this world. There are countless people in this world whose lives are not even comparable to Purgatory!”
”Have you thought about it? Poverty allows parents to sell their own children! Have you seen it? Because of poverty, they can throw their parents, who are over 70 years old, deep into the mountains and starve to death! ”
”The misery of the human world cannot be described with words. The world is full of strange things. The difference between rich and poor is too great for you to imagine.”
”Those of us who have seen such a tragic scene can also experience how terrifying the flames of hell are. So what is the most beautiful thing in the eyes of the rest of us? ”
”To let the scenes of hell disappear, to let everyone live in this world with dignity, this is the most beautiful scenery for us!”
”In your eyes, the lakeshore of the Alps is beautiful, but in the eyes of others, perhaps an industrial area with no end in sight is truly beautiful!”
”In your eyes, a dreamy castle is beautiful, but in our eyes, a forest of chimneys puffing black smoke is beautiful!”
”In your eyes, the delicate gold candlesticks and silver cutlery on these tables, these artifacts that are hundreds of years old are beautiful. But in our eyes, steam locomotives, long railways, Steel plant... The rifles and cannons in the hands of the soldiers are the most beautiful! ”
”You may not be able to understand the scenery in our eyes, but it doesn't matter as long as Your Majesty is using an open mind to try and experience the lives of the lower class. If you think about it carefully, what is the root of the rivalry between nations? ”
”As long as you are willing to think like this, I believe that with your talent, you should be able to quickly understand everything that I've said.”
”I know you hate war, but I'm a pacifist like you are, and I hate war even more! However, there is no other way. In this world where wolves surround everything, if you do not reveal your fangs, others will tear off your flesh! ”
