As soon as they heard Li Mi say "Brahma a dream", Cao Wei's celebrities present were all flushed and their eyes were shining after a short period of shock, as if they had collectively beaten a chicken blood!

From the early days of the reign of Cao Fang, the third emperor of Cao Wei, the mainstream thinking of Cao Wei has gradually changed. Legalist thought, which stresses practicality, and Confucianism, which advocates active accession to the WTO, no longer occupy the mainstream. It is metaphysical thought that occupies the mainstream.

There are many definitions of metaphysics, which I will not go into detail here. As a regime, when metaphysics becomes the mainstream of the country's top echelons, what is the impact of this? The most rude and straightforward way to put it is that a group of middle- and high-level officials of the state who are supposed to be working hard for the national economy and people's livelihood go to work every day and do not talk about worldly things such as taxes, money and food. It only talks about the origin of the universe, the nature of life, the ultimate concern of civilization, and other lofty philosophical issues. As for the country's problems, who will handle the specific affairs? Subordinates, sluts, or people who do these things, are automatically regarded as subordinates and sluts by this group of "philosophers".

Therefore, after Li Mi said "Brahma a dream", he suddenly felt a sense of "Daigo empowerment" for the famous scholars of Cao Wei who were struggling to think about the origin of things.

All of a sudden, countless tails waved, and many celebrities in the banquet hall got up one after another, but after looking at each other, everyone still arched their hands towards a middle-aged man in his forties, expressing humility.

There is no him, because this person's surname is Xiang Mingxiu, and he is one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest. He was forced out by Sima Zhao after Ji Kang was killed by the Sima family. His character is undamaged and his fame is great, who dares to compete with him?

"Just let Bo Brahma have a dream, Yu Xiushi has a feeling of suddenly stopping drinking (Buddhism is not prosperous in China at this time, and there is no such word as Daigo empowerment), so dare to ask Ling Bo, what is this? What is the end? What is there and what is nothing? ”

The question of whether there is something before the end is one of the main topics of metaphysical thought. If this question is put in modern times, this question is not a problem at all, and the answer is the simplest from a utilitarian point of view: the important thing is the root, not the end. What I control is what I have, and what I can't control is nothing.

But in this era, the way people speak is ethereal, so they can't answer so bluntly.

I saw Li Mi smile slightly: "What is not the end is the root, what is not the original is the end, what is not there is existence, and what is not there is nothing." ”

There is no doubt that this TM is all nonsense. But in this era, it is this kind of nonsense that is the most popular!

"Wonderful, it turns out that this problem can be solved in this way. We've been obsessed with a single word, but we don't know how to say it...... Lingbo, show goodbye. ”

"Then may I ask Uncle Ling, whether there is or not, which is better or worse?" It was Ren Kai who got up to ask, and the character was praised. A native of Qingzhou. Politically, this person is Jia Chong's political enemy. In terms of academic thought, this person's thinking is close to that of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest: Gui Wu.

The so-called nothingness, of course, comes from the existence of something. What is there is actually refers to the name of the teaching. What is nothing is to respect nature. Noble nothing, of course, is relative to nothing, and nothing is respected. This is in line with the purpose of Taoism and nature. However, this kind of thinking has very dangerous signs - excessive nobility will lead people to take reality less and less seriously and live in their own spiritual world for a long time. If such a person is just an ordinary person, he is nothing more than a mental illness. But when the ruling class of a country generally reveres such ideas, the country will either die quickly (Western Jin Dynasty) or talk nonsense (Eastern Jin Dynasty).

"Hehehe" Li Mi said to Ren Kai: "Because I am close to poison in Yizhou, the remarks of local masters are occasionally contacted. There was once a master who said: The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not make dust. However, there are even masters who say: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. ”

You so-called "naturalists" are all weak, and if you actually say "natural" in your mouth, then you still fall into the inferior position of "being". It seems to me that none of these things exist, not even nature, that is, the complete "nothingness!" ”

The two verses spoken by Li Mi are, of course, from the traverser. The traverser borrowed from the Tang Dynasty monk Huineng.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, Buddhism had been introduced to China for hundreds of years. But Buddhism in this era is still slowly adapting to China's national conditions: for example, the ancestor worship plot of the Chinese is not in the teachings of Buddhism itself. Therefore, Buddhism at this time did not have much influence in China.

The flourishing of Buddhism in China was not until the period of the Wuhu Rebellion, on the one hand, he adapted to China's national conditions and made self-adjustments and changes. On the other hand, it absorbed the dialectical essence of Wei and Jin metaphysics, making itself more logical (forced to improve again). At the same time, due to the tragic war of that era, ordinary people were in urgent need of spiritual beliefs. Rulers of various countries also needed Buddhism to stabilize their rule, so they vigorously promoted it...... All these things have made Buddhism flourish in China.

Having said so much, in fact, there is only one meaning: Li Mi took advantage of the advantages of the traverser and took the things that had reached the peak of metaphysics to hang and beat this group of stupid birds in the early era of metaphysics! This group of so-called celebrities and gentlemen, it's no wonder if they don't kneel!

Sure enough, after Li Mi said these two verses, not only Ren Kai, but all the celebrities present were all excited. There are also many young celebrities who got up and bowed to Li Mi: "Listen to Uncle Ling's words, and benefit for life." Please accept my worship Master Li! ”

"Hehehe, don't dare to be. Ladies and gentlemen, Li Mi is just picking up people's teeth. ”

"The first to reach is the teacher, Master Li does not have to be too humble, and please ask Master Li to solve our doubts again. Dare to ask Master Li, if Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform, then what should this heart be? ”

"Don't dare to be the teacher of all the great sages. Regarding Yuan Bao's question, I would like to ask you a rhetorical question. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now windy on a winter night, and the flagpole outside is flying fiercely. Dare to ask, is it the wind or the flag? ”

"Of course the flag is moving, no, it's the wind, no, no, no, no, no......"

"Hehehe, everyone, in Li Mi's view, it is not the wind moving, nor the flag moving, but the heart."

The force was raised again, and even Jia Chong stood up in surprise and bowed to Li Mi.

"Fortunately, Taishou taught me these things in the first place, and told me a lot of examples before he taught them. Otherwise, I myself would have been addicted to these illusory things and couldn't extricate myself. But these boring topics are useful for solving practical problems! It's okay, you can continue to roll down the road of Guiwu. You need to know that once this concept of 'nothing outside the heart' is proposed, you celebrities and celebrities may be even more uninhibited. ”

Just as Li Mi himself was deep in thought, the Cao Wei celebrities present were already red-eyed. Some young people who are not deep in the city are already teary-eyed, and they are muttering words like "it is enough to die at the end of the day".

When everyone bowed to Li Mi again, Li Mi returned the salute. Then he sighed and said, "Everyone, although there is nothing outside of my heart, Li Mi is in love today. It is necessary to know that Zhuangzi said that he should respond well without words. Lao Tzu said, the argument is not as silent. As the so-called Tao is the Tao, it is not the Tao. The Dao of Truth in the world, if you can really say it with your mouth, then it is not a Dao. That's all he said, Li Mi said goodbye! ”

Li Mi got up, and Ma Jie, who was smiling and simple, and was completely in a state of stupidity, naturally followed, and left in a dashing manner amid the admiration of Li Shi.

……

It was late at night, but in a study room in Xiangguo's mansion, the candlelight was burning, and Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Sima Yan and others were listening to Jia Chong's detailed report on tonight's banquet.

"This Xishu envoy is so vicious." After listening to Jia Chong's report, Sima Zhao's eyes were cold and his face was serious. After a long sigh, he finally spit out this sentence.

Why? This is because, among Cao Wei's senior officials, metaphysical thought has begun to rise. However, it is still in the exploration stage, and many theories are not yet mature. And Li Mi's words tonight are to mature this idea in advance.

Moreover, it is different from the later development of metaphysical thought, and there are two schools of thought, which are different from those of noble. Li Mi highlighted Gui Wu at the banquet.

What will happen if such an idea matures prematurely?

First, there is nothing outside the heart. What I saw and what I saw didn't exist. So I don't have to care about them. As long as I'm at peace, nothing can disturb me - well, we don't treat each other as human beings. As for the boss, the emperor, the lower officials, and the common people, even if they are close relatives, everything is an illusion.

Second, the Tao is very Taoist. Anything that can be explained clearly is not a great way, it is all a lowly embryo. Therefore, in the future, everyone will speak, in order not to lower the standard. You must tell some nonsense and empty words, otherwise you will be looked down upon.

You say, once such a trend becomes mainstream. So how else does the country run?

(By the way, this was the mainstream idea of the later two Jin Dynasty.) The traverser is just ripening in advance here. Metaphysics has developed to the extreme, and you can only kill yourself. ）

The Sima family was born in Confucianism and believed in accession to the WTO. Originally, I couldn't pee with these so-called celebrities who like metaphysics. What's more, the Sima family is now the controller of the country, if the ministers under him are all engaged in these false things all day long, then what should the country do?

"Hey, this Jian Wushuang has sharp words, and Li Lingbo is unparalleled in his thinking. In the small country of Xishu, is talent so prosperous? ”

After a long sigh, Sima Zhao said to Jia Chong: "Tomorrow I will arrange for them to go to the Chinese Military Academy, so that these Shu thieves can see the strength of our Chinese army!" I don't believe it, the literary can't be suppressed, and the martial arts can't either? Gonglu, let Wen Li go into battle tomorrow! ”
