Volume 2 Song of the Morning Chapter 82 The third watch is cold, and nothing goes wrong
There are no Li Du's poems handed down in this world, and there is no resemblance to any dynasty known to Li Xiao in his previous life, but no matter how the world develops, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism ...... And so on, these hundreds of schools of thought will appear. Li Xiao already understood, so he didn't accidentally say "Confucianism" in Pu Jing's mouth.
After 16 years, Li Xiao once again said this familiar sentence of middle school.
"My fate is up to me." This "wild words" that exist in countless fantasy sounds really shocking. What we are afraid of is this providence, what my fate is, I will decide by myself. He was a little embarrassed, as a traverser, he would be entangled in the will of heaven one day.
"Hehe, only a man of Childe's courage can say this." Pu Jing smiled, stroked his beard and said: "No wonder Gongzi can write such a poem, life is proud, I am born with talent, no matter who listens to this poem, it is inevitable that there will be a magnificent meaning in his heart, Rao is old man listened, this heart can't help but be excited." ”
Li Xiao felt weak for a while, smiled embarrassedly, don't look over his head and didn't dare to look at Pu Jing directly, for fear that the latter would see through his weak heart. He took the opportunity that there was no Li Du's poems in this world, and then Li Taibai's poems were showcased, but in fact, how could he have this ability. Pu Jing is a high-ranking monk, although from the appearance of the old monk chopping wood in the backyard is no different, but in front of the abbot of Pu Jing, Li Xiao always has a feeling of not wearing clothes, from the latter's deep eyes, he always feels that everything can't be hidden, and these small tricks he sells are no exception.
He coughed twice and said, "By the way, abbot, what does Confucianism say?" ”
At this time, he did not pay attention to Pujing at all, how could a Buddhist person pay attention to Confucian affairs, this is a misunderstanding, he is thinking about the concept of later generations, Buddha Confucianism, or the hundred schools of thought, in his time, almost together, it was an era of a hundred schools of thought, how can there be any estrangement.
Pu Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, breaking the peaceful environment. Fortunately, the two of them were in the backyard, not the courtyard where Li Xiao lived temporarily, otherwise this untimely laughter would disturb many people. Pu Jing stood up, folded his hands, and with the same smile on his face, he bypassed the young man sitting on the side and walked towards the moon gate.
"What Confucianism says, doesn't Gongzi already know?" Pu Jing took two steps, turned around in the clean moonlight, squinted at Li Xiao with a smile, and continued: "Do it knowing that you can't do it, go against the destiny of heaven, do it sincerely, enjoy the current process, and don't need to imagine the result too much, providence?" It is the outcome, not the process, that decides, and the process, why can't it change the outcome? ”
"Heaven is natural, humanity is itself. There is a saying in the Daomen: It is up to the people themselves to live and die. If a person can know the way of nature, exercise the energy of Yuan and harmony, swallow the two scenes externally, take the five buds internally, move the larks, and Jing'an the five organs, then the cold, temperature, hunger and thirst cannot invade, and the five soldiers cannot be approached. Death and life are in the hand, change is from the heart, the earth cannot be buried, and the sky cannot be evil. This is my life, not heaven. ”
"When Ruo Gongzi said, my life is up to me, not to heaven. This is what the Taoist said, Lao Qu is the abbot of Wan'an Temple, a person in Buddhism, he can't say too much, as for all of them, you have to rely on your son to comprehend it yourself. ”
With that, Pu Jing saluted and turned around, and was about to leave.
Li Xiao was still immersed in the large series of words that Pu Jing said just now, and the words of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism appeared in the mouth of the old monk who was nearly half a year away at the same time, which really surprised him for a while. After Pu Jing finished speaking, he was silent for a long time before he reacted, and he hurriedly folded his hands and saluted and said, "Thank you Abbot for your words, Li Xiao understands." ”
In this era, there were obvious differences between the schools, and the emperor valued Confucianism, so Confucianism stood out from the hundreds of schools of thought and stood at the top in one fell swoop. Confucianism looked down on the other hundred schools of thought because of its status. There is also a chain of discrimination between the same hundred schools, such as the peasant family looks down on the miscellaneous family, the Legalists envy and hate Confucianism, and the Buddhism family, as an emerging family, has a lot of status after being favored by the Queen Mother, and he looks down on the Taoists who existed at the beginning of the Haoguo, and the Taoists also look down on this "newcomer".
It is precisely because of this that people in each family will not learn the things of other people. Especially after Li Xiao had a poem name, Confucian officials who were officials in the court played one after another, asking the emperor to let Li Xiao move to the Hanlin Academy.
But what is the matter of joining the army and living in the Hanlin Academy, the emperor naturally refused. So these Confucian disciples began to come to Wan'an Temple to make trouble. It's not really making trouble, with the existence of the Queen Mother, even if they borrow ten guts, they don't dare to make trouble in the royal temple.
But it's okay to come and walk around twice if you have nothing to do, and do something that doesn't violate the rules but annoys the monks.
In just one day, the number of visitors to Wan'an Temple has increased significantly, and these are some famous talents in the city, so they can enter the Buddhist temple. Of course, most of them came to visit for the name of Li Xiao's poem, and there were not many people who made trouble.
Pu Jing had already left the backyard, and here she was back to being alone. In the night sky, the curved moon gradually moved, passed through the veil-like clouds, crossed a few flickering stars, poked its head out shyly, and then smiled charmingly.
Li Xiao stood with his hands in his hands, did not sit down, the breeze slowly crossed, the night in the north was a little cool, he had been here for more than a month, but he was still not used to the environment in the north, although Suzhou was hot and humid, and the night was not as cool as in the north, but with Chu Xin'er with him, he felt at home, not like here, no matter how many people were around, his heart always felt a little empty.
"I slept a lot when I was drunk, but now I can't sleep." He patted the few wisps of withered grass floating from afar, and looked at the faintly emerging Taicang Mountain in the east of the city, and suddenly became interesting.
……
The words are divided into two ends.
"Three watches, safe and sound......" The watchman in the prime of life knocked on the gong in his hand, and the long voice spread farther and farther in the quiet Jingshi City.
Xuanzheng Street in the east of the city, Shifu.
Shi Shifan, who had arranged everything, walked step by step on the wooden ladder of the Shijia attic with a shiny and glowing mahogany cane. The crutches collided with the stairs with a clattering sound, some heavy, but also some light.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, Shi Song has too many goals, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this right minister, so these dark things are usually finished by him. However, he didn't need to finish the assassination of Wencheng Street, if it weren't for Shi Song doing some superfluous things, they wouldn't have been involved at all, and they wouldn't have to take a squire in.
Of course, the ending of the Cai family was caused by themselves, and they thought that Cai Kun was an incompetent waste, but it turned out to be a little useful, and they accidentally bumped into their conspiracy, and even discovered his ugly deeds.
What kind of person is he Shi Shifan, even if everyone outside knows what he does, no one dares to say it, and no one dares to peep. But Cai Kun unexpectedly bumped into it. Only he himself knows that the conspiracy is not a big deal, and his scandal is discovered to be the real reason for the fall of the Cai family.
"Father." Shi Shifan hugged his fist and arched his hand at Shi Song, who was resting on the wooden chair.
"It's all done?" Shi Song closed his eyes and spoke lightly, he shook his hand and motioned for him to sit down. He has always been relieved to do things for his son, but recently he has become more and more aware that his son is a little out of his control, but he is getting closer and closer to the rootless thing in Dongchang. It's not what he likes.
Although the right minister of Haoguo worked with the rootless man of Dongchang to help restore the British Empire, when interests and contradictions arise, this relationship that is as light as thin paper will be torn apart in an instant, and to this day, in addition to the superficial connection, in fact, it is no different from passers-by. Both of them knew this.
Shi Shifan bowed, then sat down, and continued: "Cai Xu is afraid of sin, and he is in prison for medicine. His son Cai Kun was overly sad and went with him. However, according to your father's intentions, Cai Kun was spared, but he was given a heartless pill, and the relationship of the Criminal Department replaced him with a dead body, and he went out of the city overnight and sent back to his hometown in Cangzhou. ”
"Hmm." Shi Song nodded, a trace of regret on his face. He and Cai Xu met in their early years, and they were old friends, but now they are reluctant to abandon them. It's not that there is a lack of a waiter, even if it's Shangshu, it's nothing in his eyes, and the feelings revealed at this time are not hypocritical.
"Father, there is something I don't understand." Seeing Shi Song's expression, Shi Shifan smiled without leaving a trace and asked. After getting Shi Song's signal, he continued: "Cutting grass needs to be eradicated, although Cai Kun has taken the heart pill now, no one can guarantee whether there will be changes in the future, if you want to feel at ease, you should still ...... everyone in the Cai family."
As he spoke, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he made a motion to wipe his neck. He has always liked to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles. It's just that this time Shi Song spoke in person, and he had no choice but to do it.
Looking at his right-hand father beside him, he shook his head and touched his round crutches, not knowing what he was thinking.
Woman's kindness!
Shi Song naturally knew this truth, but when Cai Xu pleaded, he was still moved by compassion, Cai Kun was not a threat, and he took the pill of loss of heart and became a fool, leaving a blood for the Cai family, which can be regarded as a comfort for himself. sighed and said: "The most important thing in the Cai family is only Cai Xu, who Cai Kun is, you can't know it very well, let him go back, there's nothing to worry about." ”
Cai Kun is indeed a waste, but there is always a case, Shi Shifan likes to be foolproof, and this time Shi Song's woman's kindness made him very dissatisfied.
He didn't continue to speak, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked ahead.
Shi Song knew what his son was thinking, over the years, Shi Shifan's anger has become heavier and heavier, which is not a good thing, but helplessly, he has no choice but to let it develop. He glanced at Shi Shifan and said, "That's it today, you go down and rest early." Tomorrow, Li Xiao will go out of the city, you go to meet and explore...... Actual situation. ”
