Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Best of the Worst Times

"Sex is unmoved, love is moved, and the pericardium is unmoved. If the heart is not moved, it is sex, and if it is moved, it is love. The so-called unification of the heart temperament also. He is in love. The heart is like water, sex is like the tranquility of water, love is the flow of water, and desire is the waves of water. Sex is also reasonable. It is called to do sex in the heart, and it is called to be rational in things. The heart is refreshed. The reason of the mind of the perceived is also. The spirit of the enlightened person is also. ”

"Although human nature is the same, the temperament cannot be without bias, and those who have a heavy temperament will always have a lot of compassion, and the heart of shame, humbity, and right and wrong will be stuffed by it. Those who have gained gold and are heavy will always have a lot of shame, and the hearts of compassion, resignation, and right and wrong will be stuffed by them. The same is true of water and fire, only yin and yang are virtuous, the five natures are complete, and then the righteous and saint is also. ”

Zhu Xi's expression gradually returned to normal, and then looked at Ye Qing and said word by word, but he didn't know that the forbidden army in front of him, who could make poems, couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

However, from Li Qingzhao's disdainful eyes, Ye Qing was still able to interpret a trace of meaning, obviously saying that he was a little unforgiving, or that he didn't understand what a sage was.

"Today's scholars are not exempt from this, but the gains and losses of the field house, taking into account their skills and how to listen to the likes and dislikes of the division, are not so arguments for gentlemen and villains. …… Although it is said to be the book of the sages, and the direction of its aspirations, there are those who go against the sages and push it up to the ...... How can you devote yourself to the affairs of the country and the people, so as not to be disappointed by the envoys? In the meantime, more than the experience, Ann is not a word? Gu is not afraid of the prosthetic ear. After Lu Jiuyuan finished speaking, he also said to Ye Qing.

"Where the righteousness is, go with the flow, there is no difficulty at the beginning, and then the righteousness and benefit are at war, and the profit is not better than the righteousness, so it is self-reliant. The study of weekdays, the essence of the chest, not the sage, diligent work, the heart of the country, the heart of the people, not for the body, its gain for the gentleman? Lu Jiuyuan obviously came to the real thing, and it was another paragraph to Ye Qing, which seemed to Ye Qing to be like a tongue twister.

Whether it was Zhao Gou, who was watching from afar, or Li Qingzhao and the others, they all frowned, even if Ye Qing had just said evil words to Fan Niande like a splash, it was reasonable, after all, Fan Niande was the first to strike.

Now, the two great Confucian scholars, ignoring the song outside the mountain, Qingshan Lou Wailou, suddenly so solemnly discussed science and psychology with a forbidden army, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit of a big bully.

Although there are quite a lot of educational words in it, after talking about greed for life and fear of death, it is obviously not a gentleman's work to deal with a small forbidden army with the knowledge of a great sage.

And when Ye Dutou heard Lu Jiuyuan's tone of self-explanation and education, his first reaction was that a four-character proverb appeared in his mind: MLGB.

In front of everyone, Ye Qing was completely powerless in the face of such a doctrine, even if he wanted to say something, even if he could form a language, but in the face of such a debate, he was just unable to speak.

In the end, he could only smile, no matter what, today he can withdraw from the encirclement of literati who eat people and do not spit out bones, and in the face of the two great sages, he can still not fall behind, and clear his name of greed for life and fear of death, which can be regarded as a successful retirement.

But obviously, if he left like this, whether it was face or lining, or the depressed indignation in his heart, Ye Qing couldn't swallow his anger for a while, but if he wanted to debate others, he didn't have the ability, after all, he even felt hard to understand the true meaning of those words. "No matter what you say, no matter how much you value your own doctrine, if it is your foundation to establish your heart, establish your life, continue to learn, and open peace, but ...... Nothing is absolute, it is two-sided, maybe one day, the doctrine you advocate will only be the shackles that shackle my Chinese nation, maybe the self-cultivation you admire to govern the country and the world is just empty talk about the mistake of misleading the country. ”

Ye Qing's face gradually showed unprecedented seriousness, looked at Lu Jiuyuan and Zhu Xi, and continued: "But people's hearts cannot be toyed with, and sages are not superior to others, in the face of war, sages will also be beheaded by Jin people, no different from ordinary people. ”

"Finally, I want to give you a word, I thought you said something I didn't understand, and I should have said something you didn't understand, but it was unfair to you. This is the best of times, and this is the worst of times, this is the age of wisdom, it is the age of foolishness, it is the time of faith, it is the time of doubt, it is the season of light, it is the season of darkness, it is the spring of hope, it is the winter of disappointment. There are all kinds of things in front of people, there is nothing in front of people, people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell. Just ...... How will we choose, so that our nation will no longer be cowardly, want to go on the Northern Expedition, want to regain lost land, and the dignity of the literati is far inferior to the sword, and the sword should not be destroyed in your hands! Leave! After Ye Qing finished speaking, he didn't look at Zhu Xi and the others again, just waved his hand at Li Qingzhao and the others, and then walked straight out.

As Ye Qing jumped out of the pavilion, the literati who were originally gathered together seemed to feel a deep wave of air, and they all made way for Ye Qing silently.

Ye Qing's back was silent, nearly a hundred literati gathered, at this moment, no one made a single noise, even Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan just opened their mouths, and in the face of Ye Qing's last words, they didn't know how to open their mouths to refute.

The language is almost vernacular, and the deep thinking is also full of philosophical meaning, whether it is Zhu Xi or Lu Jiuyuan, or Li Qingzhao, and Zhao Gou, who is watching Ye Qing go out, they all can't help but meditate in their hearts.

Dickens's words in A Tale of Two Cities, as Ye Qing traveled to Lin'an, as he became more and more integrated into this society, and as he learned more and more about this society, he suddenly found that during this period of time, this passage often appeared in his mind.

There was no China after Yashan, and the Chinese nation ushered in the first full-scale invasion of foreign races, which also made the Chinese nation fall into a real predicament for the first time in the long river of history, and what about the Confucian scholars after that? Kneeling and licking foreigners for a long, long time, whose sin is this? The sins of the entire Chinese nation are not borne by anyone alone.

Of course, it shouldn't be an outstanding Confucian master such as Zhu Xi or Lu Jiuyuan, they are at most a booster, but if you want to attribute all the responsibility to them, I'm afraid they can't afford it themselves.

"Xiaoyou doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" A faint voice sounded in Ye Qing's ears.

"Who are you?" Ye Qing was squatting on the shore of the West Lake, with a dog's tail grass in his hand, teasing the colorful fish in the lake for people to watch.

"Does it matter who I am? Pingshui just meets. The old man's demeanor was majestic, wearing a neat gray robe, even if he had deliberately made his demeanor more approachable, but the momentum of the person who had been in the top position for a long time still gave people an invisible pressure.

What's more, there are more than a dozen sharp-eyed sturdy men standing behind him, one of them is tall and big, and he is not easy to mess with at first glance, and at this moment he has his eyes on Ye Qing's body, always vigilant and guarded against his every move.

"Oh, I'm not in a good mood, were you in there just now? At such an old age, won't he still be a showman? Listen to them give you lessons? Ye Qing squatted by the lake, looking at the old man sitting on the stone, under the sun, the old man's figure seemed to be quite burly.

"Xiucai? If the old man wants to get fame, he has already taken the test, so he won't have to wait until now. However, Xiaoyou's words just now were suspected of being nonsense, and there was also a tendency for the sword to go sideways, and the last deep words ...... Why, is it dissatisfaction with the imperial court? Zhao Gou looked at Ye Qing with interest, and the dog's tail grass in his hand was used as food by him, fooling the fish swimming in the lake.

"I'm not dissatisfied, it's not that this is the best ...... times."

"When you are born, it is naturally the best time, because you don't know what the past and the future are, naturally this is the best time, and the worst time, isn't it?" Zhao Gou held his knee with one hand, and didn't feel guilty at all about Ye Qingai's attitude of ignoring him, and finally asked, "Do you also hate Jinren?" ”

"What, why do you hate Jinren? At my age, do you feel like you've ever escaped? Ye Qing raised his head and asked with squinted eyes.

But there is a sentence in my heart that I didn't say, I really let you guess right, I really know the future, if I don't know the future, how can I know that Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan are similar to the sinners of the Chinese nation.

"But at a young age, you are wearing the clothes of the forbidden army, which are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, is there something behind it or have you offended people? That's why the forbidden army arrived? Zhao Gou seemed to be in a good mood, and looked at Ye Qing sitting by the lake, not angry, still smiling and asking.

"I don't know, it's supposed to offend people anyway, right? It's confusing, otherwise I wouldn't say it, the literati will play with people's hearts, and the four words of intrigue, I'm afraid that only in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the court or the people, have been brought into full play. Ye Qing looked at the dog's tail grass in his hand, which was snatched away by a bold fish coming out of the water, clapping his hands, and seeing several pairs of feet moving involuntarily.

Who's the old man? Wouldn't these people behind him also be peers, or would they be people from the Imperial City Division? Among the peers of the forbidden army, there are not many such elite soldiers, and the old man's connections or status are high enough.

Zhao Yan seemed to agree with Ye Qing's point of view, and nodded involuntarily, and then asked again: "Then you hate the Jin people for occupying the northern land of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Can't talk about it, can you? If you want to hate, it should be the emperor who hates it first, so I'll be exempt....... At the end of speaking, Ye Qing actually yawned, making Zhao Gou look like a young man who was unwilling to talk to him and was driving him away.

Thin footsteps sounded behind him again, and I saw Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng, with Jin Se and You'er, walking towards him with a worried face, but before they could get closer, they saw the old man's guard, silently reaching out to block the way of the four of them.

(ps: 300,000 words, I estimate it's time to put it on the shelves, although the editor hasn't told me yet, but I estimate it's going to be soon.) The results of this book are miserable, just look at the collection, but I have written so much, and there are many plots that I like and feel passionate about, etc., it is a pity for the eunuch, and I am reluctant to let go of that knife. So every time I think about it, it will be much better when the number of words is more. But who knows, it could be that the quality of the book is really not good.

But no matter what, I hope you are looking at the genuine version vertically and horizontally, or look at pirated copies in other places, Aoba begs you one thing, whether it is to see pirated or genuine in the future, that is, can you support the first order on the day of the shelf? Because the number of first orders is really too important for a book, it is related to whether the book will be recommended well in the future.

If the first order is not good, basically the book may be abandoned by the editor and left to fend for itself, if the first order is still passable, maybe some recommendations will be arranged in the future, so that the book can get better.

So I beg everyone, if it is on the shelves one day, everyone will come over and support the first order, of course, if you can throw three or five yuan to automatically subscribe, and then three or five dollars are spent, and then go to see piracy, I am very grateful to you!

I also promise that this book will definitely not be a eunuch, no matter how difficult it is, he will finish it, and after finishing a book, I won't think about eunuchs. And this book, from this chapter, can be regarded as a real rhythm, with half a year after traveling to the Southern Song Dynasty, Ye Qing should also really live in the Great Song Dynasty without any worries, and start thinking about a big career.

The foreshadowing has been basically completed, so in my opinion, this book is still quite worth looking forward to, so when you make the first order, you may wish to come over together and support Aoba's first order, thank you!

At 3:16 a.m., sincerity is enough! )
