Chapter 985: Hundred Generations Carved Monuments
Dong Zhongshu, who has experienced three dynasties, although his body is old and decayed, his thoughts and knowledge have reached a height that ordinary scholars in the world cannot reach.
Only a super master like him who can integrate the relationship between heaven, earth, and man and study it thoroughly will truly understand the relationship between historical reincarnation and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. Of course, he can understand what Yuan Zhao said. In the old years, whenever he lamented the destruction of countless kings in the previous dynasty, he also thought hard about the cycle of cause and effect. It's just that at dusk in the moonlight, the morning bell and the dusk drum, he has participated in spring and autumn one after another, but he has never fully understood.
Perhaps, this is the thing that Dong Zhongshu, who is respected by the world as a "pedantic celestial", regrets the most.
It was not that he had not thought about how to make the extremely powerful Han Empire avoid the disaster of national destruction experienced by the former Qin. It's just that if he thinks about it and meditates, there doesn't seem to be a good way. Moreover, such a matter is not suitable as a topic for his disciples and disciples to start a large-scale discussion. After all, this is an era of imperial supremacy. Although the governance of today's emperor is not as harsh and severe as that of the previous emperors, some taboos are always unavoidable.
Fortunately, Dong Zhongshu is an open-minded person. Since it's a problem that can't be solved by one's own ability, there's no need to dwell too hard. He has always had an expectation that if there is someone in this world who can avoid the disaster of the country, it must be Yuan Zhao!
However, Yuan Zhao, who pacified the four seas and returned with a glorious body, did what he did after entering Chang'an City, but he couldn't understand it a little.
So, this Taishan Beidou-level figure, who represented the thoughts of most of the scholars in the world, walked out of his small courtyard where he had been in retreat for several years and came to Yuan Zhao. He wants to hear it with his own ears and see with his own eyes the future direction of this empire!
And Yuan Zhao really didn't disappoint him. Han Guogong, who takes the world as his own responsibility, will never disappoint anyone. On the rocks on the edge of the cliff of the Wei River, from the warm afternoon sun to the twilight, and then to the starlight covering the sky, a bright moon is in the sky. The conversation between the two of them has never been interrupted.
Yuan Zhao felt a little smoke in his throat. He doesn't really have to bother with these words. But he did it anyway. tireless explanation, a summary of the successes and failures of past historical dynasties, and a prospect for the future...... Especially for the origin and development of the royal system, as well as its great drawbacks. He analyzed them very thoroughly.
Don't underestimate the old master in front of him, his real thoughts are the true thoughts of the world's corporal clan. Although the concepts of "family and country and the world" and "royal power are bestowed" have only been produced for hundreds of years, they have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have become the basis for ruling all peoples. Trying to loosen and change this foundation is undoubtedly an extremely difficult war.
If it is said that the enhancement of national strength and the expansion of territory in the early stage are all to make the country more stable and strong. Then the great change that is about to begin is what Yuanzhao really wants to achieve. He has been preparing for this goal for more than twenty years. When it was finally about to begin, the heroic spirit in the chest could be described as pouring down the mountains and shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Original...... Can such a paradise be realized on earth?! Yuan Zhao, after listening to your story, if it weren't for the old man's sanity, he would be quite sober, almost
Because that would be the way it would be in a dream! ”
The moon is in the sky, and the shadows of the mountains overlap. After a long time, Dong Zhongshu, who had forgotten what time it was, came back to his senses. He looked at the radiant young man in front of him in a daze, and became more and more convinced that he came to this world must be God's arrangement!
"Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly seems to be illusory and real. What is the thought of the future? What is a dream body...... Master Dong, no matter what kind of environment we are in, we always have to have dreams. Who's to say that the things that you thought about in your dreams won't one day become real reality? Hehe! ”
Yuan Zhao let out a long breath. I painted this day and night cake with a dry mouth, and if I can't say that I can't move the old man's heart, it will be too much of a failure.
"Yuan Zhao, if you think about something, just do it! The last thing in this world is the people who talk about it, and the most lacking is the brave pioneers like you. As long as you have the well-being of the world in your heart and seek their interests from beginning to end, you will never do anything wrong! Even if there are temporary difficulties and setbacks, even if there are countless enemies. But Qingshi is fortunate and will remember Jungong. The mind of heaven and earth will be immortal! ”
Dong Zhongshu finally stood up. His legs and feet are not dexterous, and it is difficult for him to even get up after sitting and talking for so long. Without waiting for the disciples who had been waiting in the distance to come and serve, Yuan Zhao had already reached out to support him. And by the way, he took off his cloak and put it on his body.
"Thank you for your understanding and support...... The wind is strong in the mountains, the cold dew will rise, and the time is not early. Master Dong, go back with me to rest. ”
Dong Zhongshu did not shirk Yuan Zhao's personal support. Perhaps, today, he is the only one who is qualified to accept this man's stooping service. He was very satisfied with this attitude.
"Yuan Zhao, the old man is already dying! However, when we were finally about to die, we saw the arrival of a super prosperous era. Though the scenes you tell you are like a paradise are destined to be impossible for me to wait any longer. But the old man knew very well that he should not have any regrets. Hehe! People's greed is always insufficient, and this old man can't avoid this. Yuan Zhao, you have to pay attention to it in the future! ”
Yuan Zhao respectfully accepted his reminder and made a promise: "Don't worry, Master Dong! If Yuan Zhao has any selfish intentions, the earth will be destroyed on the same day, and the five thunders will hit the top! ”
"You don't have to make such a poisonous oath! What kind of person you are, the old man has seen it very clearly. I believe that the people of the world and future generations will also see it very clearly....... ”
Yuan Zhao grinned bitterly as he helped him forward. People are old and fine, and that's what they're talking about! In the final analysis, Dong Zhongshu, like many people, is still afraid that he will become a powerful minister and plot against the world. So inside and outside the words, there are always mysteries.
On the Weishui stone cliff, many people gathered. They never left, quietly waiting for the end of the meeting. This included some officials who had followed the emperor and Yuan Zhao from Chang'an. A large number of Dong Zhongshu's personal disciples and followers. There are also many juniors of the Chang'an Royal Academy...... Although they did not have the opportunity to listen to the conversation between Yuan Zhao and Dong Zhongshu with their own ears, everyone had a hunch that the importance of this conversation would inevitably have a far-reaching impact.
Watching the two figures, old and young, gradually approaching in the moonlight, everyone was in order
Dress up and greet each other respectfully. Dong Zhongshu walked up to everyone, stopped and turned around, and saw that under the bright moonlight, the Wei River was rising and the stone cliff was empty. The words just now are still in my ears, and everywhere the wind passes, there is only an afterimage left. He seemed to have a moment of distraction, and later, he let go of Yuan Zhao's hand, and with an unprecedented solemn attitude, in front of thousands of people, Taishan bent down and bowed down!
"Yuan Gong, from now on, you should think of the common people in the world!"
Everyone was stunned and overwhelmed. With Dong Zhongshu's identity today and his prestige among the world's scholars, with such a big salute, I am afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to afford it. In other words, except for worshipping heaven and earth, there is no one in the whole world who is qualified to make him bend his waist. However, under such circumstances, he bowed down to the young Yuan Zhao in public, which was really shocking!
Yuan Zhao was also taken aback. He hurriedly avoided it, not daring to accept his prayer, and at the same time his heart was already moved. Only he understands that Dong Zhongshu's worship represents the attitude of all the scholars in the world. With his unequivocal support today, I believe that in the future, the resistance will be alleviated a lot. Such a big gift is really too heavy!
"Dong Shi...... You've tormented the boy! ”
In a solemn state, Yuan Zhao hurriedly supported Dong Zhongshu's body, and the gratitude on his face came from the bottom of his heart. Dong Zhongshu laughed slightly. He remembered the poem that the young man had recited: "The old man is in the bush, and his ambition is a thousand miles." In the twilight years of the martyrs, the strong heart ....... It's just a pity that I don't have much time to do, and I don't have the ability to help him. Maybe this is the only way to help him in the end!
"Yuan Zhao, it's a pity that you and I didn't meet at the right time...... If the old man is born decades later, he should also worship under your door, perform discipleship rituals, and listen to the teachings sooner or later. Presumably, the knowledge will be taken to the next level! Hehe! ”
In the open-minded laughter, the world is wide and the mind is infinite. This old man was willing to compromise his reputation and send the young ruler of the Han Empire to another peak again.
The boat is full of dreams and the galaxy, the clouds are in the blue sky and the moon is in the bottle. From now on, I hope that he will lead this empire and all living beings to a brilliant and infinite future.
In the moonlight and starlight, Dong Zhongshu walked down the stone cliff and walked out of his historical stage. What he left Yuan Zhao with was a staggering back that he will never forget. And the large number of talented people he cultivated for this empire. The future belongs to these young people, and he is extremely relieved to leave.
Yuan Zhao stood respectfully in place, and he didn't withdraw his gaze until the old figure walked away and disappeared. Chang'an officials who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly came over and reported with a respectful attitude.
"Yuan Gong, all the envoys selected a few days ago, after completing the special training at Chang'an Academy, have reached the standards you have identified. They can go at any time. ”
Yuan Zhao nodded. He has been preparing for this major event for a long time. This group of special officials of the imperial court with great power will be sent to all the new territories outside the territory that are subject to the Han Empire, to pacify the eight directions and form a system.
"One more thing. Yuan Gong, Liu Yuanshuo's son came from the East China Sea, and he arrived in Chang'an today, and when he heard that His Majesty and you were here, he had rushed to Changle Plateau overnight to ....... ”
