1. Cycle theory of size and size

Ascend to Bolan Island in the north and look back at the East Gate of Qin.

Who is the corpse of the creation of the work, chisel this heavenly pool source.

The cave swallows a hundred grains, and there are no four boundaries.

In the midst of the chaos, you can see the roots of heaven and earth.

The day is self-spitting, and Fusang is like a touch.

Super far away Penglai Peak, imagine Jintaicun.

Emperor Qin passed through this in the past, and ascended to Ji Fei.

Yang Jing Baishen Society, looking at the sun and running in the mountains.

Xu Fu turned out to be a disciple who was envious of his empty words.

Only the stone bridge foot, thousands of years of tide marks.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At this moment, Gao Yue was afraid that the two of them would turn against each other, so he even talked about the topic of sex and affection, so he stopped here.

This Han Yu is still powerful, in fact, the monks of later generations are not afraid of those Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty who have a deep theoretical level, because although they are also Confucian, but they are always entangled in the debate between Confucianism and Buddhism. But the monks are afraid of Han Yu, even if Han Yue dies early, they are afraid: only Han Yu really grasped the sore foot of Buddhism, that is, "forbidden to give birth to each other", to put it bluntly, Buddhism escapes the world, not only does not contribute to the society, but also relies on believers to support, occupy wealth and people, is a huge burden on the national economy, once the ruler sacrifices Han Yu's theory, that is to sharpen the rhythm of Buddhism.

Gao Yue said that in the future, Buddhist temples will also have to pay taxes, and monks will have to rely on themselves to support themselves.

It was only when the atmosphere eased that the three of them were tired of walking, so they sat down in a pavilion on the hill, and the servants who accompanied them quenched their thirst for sencha.

Gao Yue drank two sips of tea soup, and then said to Han and Liu leisurely: "In fact, Huizhi's views on sex and affection are unique, who has no affection?" Then he said something that shocked the two of them, "Now if the Son of Heaven sends an envoy to summon Ben Dao to abandon Huainan and go to the court for Hajj, Ben Dao will never go—because Ben Dao has offended the Son of Heaven to some extent, Ben Dao is afraid of death, and he also loves his family, since this love cannot be abandoned, Ben Dao will not be able to act calmly and virtuously." ”

Han Yu was silent, he didn't expect Gao Yue to use his "temperament theory" to say this publicly.

But then Gao Yue was even more open and honest: "Wang Qiqi of the Quarry Army, Bai Liangqi of the Danyang Army, and Li Shangrong of the Yisheng Army, they are also willing to lead my Wu Yijun to cross the river and capture Li Qi out of personal affection." ”

"Isn't it out of love for the people?" Han Yu replied first.

"No, like this way, they also have ears and eyes in Beijing, and they know that the holy lord wants to borrow Li Qi's hand to cut off the military power of the three of them, and transfer them to Chang'an, as the general of the Su Guard, who has no real power, and in order to gain a long hold in Jiangdong, he openly voted to this way."

Hearing this, it was Han Yu's turn to be speechless.

Now, he really couldn't be happy.

There is often a simple answer behind a complex question, and conversely, behind a simple direction is often a complex entanglement of interests.

But Wei Guogong's questioning of Han Yu does not seem to be over.

Gao Yue suddenly asked Han Yu, what do you think of the politics of Yao Shunyu's three generations.

Han Yu was even more shocked, he didn't know what Gao Yue's purpose was in asking this, because Yao Shunyu's Zen concession system has always been a topic that Confucianism admires, but imperial power is very taboo.

And Liu Zongyuan didn't speak at all, as if he was waiting for Han Yu's answer.

"Yao Chuan is located in Shun, and Shun is located in Yu, which is to hope that the country can get Daxian. As for why Yu wants to pass on his own son Qi...... In fact, it is not caused by Yu's selfishness, but Yu's life, which is not equivalent to his own great sage, so he can only be passed on to his son, and it will be hereditary, in order to seek stability...... Therefore, Yao Shun is 'benefiting the people and great', and Yu is 'thinking about the people deeply'. Han Yu tried to explain.

Gao Yue continued to take a sip of tea, without meaning to make Han Yu stop.

Although the spring cold was still there, Han Yu was already sweating, but his thinking was stimulated, so he continued to gush: "Although Xia Qi is not virtuous, he can still abide by the law, so that the world will be stable." Yao Shunyu great sages have appeared one after another, which is the beauty of the world of three generations, and it is also the foundation of Zen; Later generations can not be found, the appearance of the next great sage, often accompanied by the great evil, Yu four hundred years later, there will be the great evil, and there happens to be the great sage of Tang; And Tang is also four hundred years later, the great evil of Xuan appeared, and it also happened to appear such great sages as Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu and Zhou Gong. It shows that the ups and downs of the world have long been determined in the heavens, so instead of fighting in the era when there is no great sage and great sage, it is better to uphold the hereditary lineage and wait for the appearance of the great sage. ”

"From the point of view, should the interval between the appearance of the great evil and the great sage be four hundred years, or three hundred years?"

"Yes, after Qin, according to the observation of the servant, there seems to be an acceleration phenomenon." Han Yu also knows how to accelerate.

"But I remember that before I retreated, I wrote the theory of the Xingyuan Revolution."

"Revolution does not mean a change of dynasty. Revolution does not mean a change of morality. Although the way of the world is changeable, the way of heaven will not change. Han Yu argued.

"That is to say, if you retreat, you think that history is a cyclical process."

However, the great cycle is 300 or 400 years, while the small cycle is a jiazi, which is poor in 60 years. Since the An, Shi Zuo, Fang Zhen separated, the military revolution has not stopped, and now a full forty-three years have passed, so the restoration of the world should be the inevitable outcome after more than ten years (1). Han Yu is very confident in this.

He believed that according to his theory of small circulation, Gao Yue would reunify and pacify China in this world.

But he also doesn't think that the Tang Dynasty's qi is exhausted, because according to his theory of the great cycle, my Tang Dynasty at least has more than a hundred years of fortune, and then wait for a certain great evil to appear, destroy the society, and then wait for a certain great sage to appear, clean up the rivers and mountains, and start a new three hundred years of the cycle.

"Since you think that history is cyclical, what does the perfect era look like in your mind?"

Han Yu was obviously excited, and he said: "The perfect era is an era when everyone follows the Taoism. What does the Taoist system rely on? Relying on knowledge and common sense, the so-called life is in all kinds, and knowledge is the most virtuous; There is common sense in life, men and women have their own morality, cold clothes and hunger, and work hard in textiles. ”

"When it's cold, let the women weave their clothes and wear them; When they are hungry, they let the men cultivate food to eat. In addition to food and clothing, pursuing book knowledge, following a Taoist system in everything, watching the king pass from generation to generation, when it comes to a fixed number, there will naturally be great evils and great sages appearing, and the next round of ...... cycle begins" Gao Yue muttered to himself, stood up, and repeated Han Yu's "ideal country" template.

Then he looked at the surging Yangtze River, turned his back to Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, and whispered: "However, when the great evil appears, so many people will die and so much wealth will be destroyed, why can't the great sages and great sages avoid it...... Is this also the destiny of the cycle? Is this also the certainty that the people will be robbed? Not to mention...... This day is not unchanging, and when it changes, if we are still passively waiting for the so-called cycle, and still believing in the so-called destiny, we don't know that in the vicissitudes of life, some causes of failure have already been planted by our own hands! ”

At this moment, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan were stunned, but they also keenly felt that Gao Yue was describing an amazing thing, which they might not have heard of, but now that they have heard of it, they don't know what kind of impact it will have on them and even on this world.

The changes of the Chinese millennium may be at a crossroads here, or it may be moving towards a new direction.
