Because they learned that a few of them would be able to be little Taoist priests with peace of mind in the future, a few little guys also gave up continuing to listen to the nonsense of Luo Yan and their master, and began to continue to enjoy the snacks brought by Luo Yan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the two brothers were talking to Luo Yan about some folk customs and other things.

Time passed quickly, after a brief lunch, and another small talk, it was time for Luo Yan and the coachman to agree. After Luo Yan and Xuzhi said goodbye, they went all the way down the mountain, just in time for the coachman to catch the car to the bottom of the mountain. It's good now, I finally don't have to wait for the carriage to come on this cold day. Sitting in the car, I hurried back to Chang'an City.

Because of the incident of a few people, Luo Yan also felt a little more emotional.

In any case, religion will always be firmly in the hands of the rulers. Li Yuan also once said: "The big Buddha is small, and he will be old first and then released." "But with uncontrolled religion, he doesn't just clean it up. Just like now, considering that people from all over the country have opened temples everywhere, even if they respect Lao Tzu as their ancestor, Li Yuan still let the Taoist lie down and be shot.

returned to Lu Mansion, because of this matter, Luo Yan specifically asked Lu Deming to complain. After listening to Luo Yan's emotion, Lu Deming pondered for a moment, and then said: "Taoism, which integrates and arts, if it does not rely on saints, will not be able to become a manifestation of the world. The art of immortality is nothing but a hoax. Only by concentrating on the avenue is fundamental. ”

It's just that when it takes off that layer of mystery, Taoism returns to its roots and becomes a school of governance. Nowadays, there are few people who are outsiders, even those who have experienced Huang Lao's idea of governing the world, how to talk about governance. In this way, these people will only go further and further down the crooked path. Also, who can resist the temptation of eternal life. Even if you know it's a scam, you have to give it a try. If something is good, it will be effective. ”

Next, Lu Deming talked to Luo Yan about the difference between Taoism and Taoism. As a Confucian who is accustomed to research, Lu Deming naturally has a deep study in this area.

From the yang of Huang Lao, to the yin of Lao Zhuang, to Yang Zhu's whole life protection, and even Taoism, Lu Deming gave a detailed explanation. Although they were all simple inductions, it also made Luo Yan feel that his knowledge had increased greatly.

In the end, Lu Deming also sighed: "Although we are all Confucian protégés, we can't help but say that in troubled times, it is best to rule the world with Huang Lao." As for Taoism, it is a little unenterprising, but instead in the company of Fang Shidao, doing some cholera gods all day long, no wonder I am despised. ”

Think about it, many of the Confucian scholars in the world have actually accepted Taoist thought. It is precisely because the ideas of Taoism are widely spread that at the beginning of the emergence of Taoism, they were attached to Taoism, and even later they tried to confuse the concepts of Taoism and Taoism. This makes people intolerable, you don't see that there are many people in this world who meditate on Lao Zhuang, but there are few people who enter the meditation and receive the ordination, is it just because the precepts are strict and cannot be held for a long time?

However, Luo Yan was still a little curious about Huang Lao's knowledge of governing the world, so he asked Lu Deming for advice.

Lu Deming was very satisfied with his disciple's desire for knowledge. And he was against doing things behind closed doors, so he wouldn't blame Luo Yan for learning things other than Confucianism, and recommended Luo Yan at the moment: "You can read more of these learnings, "Guanzi" and "Huainanzi". If I had time, I would even read "Lü's Spring and Autumn" together. After reading these books, you will naturally understand something, and now I am sitting here with you talking about empty things, but I am delaying you. ”

Lu Deming's education of Luo Yan now has some free-range meaning. After all, Lu Deming had already instilled his thoughts into Luo Yan, and as for how much Luo Yan could inherit, this was not what Lu Deming cared about. For so many years of research on Confucian classics, he also understands that no matter what doctrine it is, it is in the process of continuous progress, inheriting the old routine, but it will accelerate the demise of the inheritance.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and in the end, not all of them absorbed each other's advantages and then collided, and the fierce confrontations again and again made each school have made great progress. Isn't it the same with Confucianism, although it became the mainstream of the world during the Han Dynasty, but whether it is governing the country or self-cultivation, in fact, for other Mohist Taoist doctrines, they are all integrated into their own doctrines.

There is also the study of Huang Laozhi that Luo Yan asked just now, in fact, it also absorbs the essence of a lot of Confucianism, Mohistism and other schools, which is a new school of Taoism.

Hearing his teacher's recommendation, Luo Yan also nodded, seeing that the time was about the same, and after having dinner with Lu Deming, he went back to the room to study hard.

Then, in the following time, the people of the Qin Palace's Mansion sent a strange thing. In the past, Luo Yan held most of the works of Confucian scholars in his hands, but recently he did change his profession and looked at Taoist classics. And unlike usual, this reading fascination was so fascinated that even the official business assigned to him by Li Xuandao was pushed by him to Qiu Xuan and them.

Anyway, in the past, Luo Yan gave people the impression that he was conscientious in handling official business, and only in his spare time would he pick up books and read them desperately, but now even official business has been delayed, how is this possible. At first, it just alarmed Li Xuandao, so Luo Yan was called to Li Xuandao one day.

"Come in, listen to Qiu Xuan and a few of them, you have been reading books for the past few days and seeing that you can't even take care of official business." Li Xuandao's inquiry made Luo Yan embarrassed for a while. Well, Luo Yan admits that this is because of the addiction to reading hard when he was in the mountains before, and when he encounters a book that interests him, he can't care about anything.

"This, there is really hope for the master book. Some time ago, I discussed Taoist doctrine with the teacher, and I was somewhat interested in Huang Lao's thoughts on governing the world. Luo Yan can only tell the truth, there is nothing to hide.

Li Xuandao pointed at Luo Yan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you've been reading books all the time, and it's not an exaggeration to be an idiot." It's just that you have to use the book when you read it, since you are interested in Huang Lao's rule of the world, it just so happens that I don't have anything particularly important here recently, so you can use what you have learned recently while reading the book to help me deal with these things. ”

Li Xuandao will find something to do for Luo Yan, but he is also worried that it will be bad for Luo Yan to become a nerd if he continues to read like this. What's more, although Luo Yan worked as a penman in the Qin Palace, Li Shimin's treatment for him was according to the eight-rank official. In this way, just taking benefits and not doing anything, Li Xuandao is afraid of attracting criticism.

In order to protect Luo Yan, Li Xuandao also tried his best.

Fortunately, Luo Yan is not the kind of crazy person, since Li Xuandao is specifically looking for himself to collect these things, then it will definitely not harm him. So he restrained himself a little, finished all the things that Li Xuandao gave him every day, and then continued to read.

This immediately reflects Luo Yan's level, at the beginning, Li Xuandao assigned Luo Yan the same number of things as Qiu Xuan. According to Li Xuandao's train of thought, even though Luo Yan is smart, he has only been in contact for a few months, and he can't compare with veterans like Qiu Xuan. Even if you give the same amount of things, in the end, I am afraid that Qiu Xuan and them will have to help.

Who knew that among these three people, Luo Yan dealt with the matter early, and then sat down as his nerd.

Li Xuandao looked at it, and the means and ways of handling things were definitely not picky. Whether it is external official affairs or internal private affairs, Luo Yan's methods can be regarded as gentle and clever, and he has maintained the current situation to the greatest extent.

It's definitely not that simple to do. First of all, we must understand the current situation in the court, as well as the large and small forces involved in these official affairs, and even see whether there are hidden interests behind these things. These things are basically what Li Xuandao has taught Luo Yan in the past few months, but he didn't expect to be remembered clearly by Luo Yan.

The second is Luo Yan's way of dealing with things, there is no radical one here. I think of several ideas that Luo Yan gave to Li Shimin three years ago, all of which are harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, and even sometimes retreat as advance, and none of them are not aimed at winning or losing.

And now, Luo Yan's methods are more inclined to hello, hello, hello, everyone. This is where Luo Yan is clever, because he understands that the current situation is already very delicate, so he tries not to conflict with others on such small matters.

So Li Xuandao doubled Luo Yan's matter the next day. This is both an important and a test. Giving more things naturally shows that Li Xuandao recognizes Luo Yan's way of doing things, and as for the test, Li Xuandao wants to see how much ability Luo Yan still hides.

Then the next thing made Li Xuandao's jaw drop in shock.

Who would have thought that even if it was twice as many things, and accordingly, Qiu Xuan's affairs would be reduced by half, just like this, Luo Yan and Qiu Xuan and them would finish the matter at the same time. It's not that Luo Yan wants to shock the world, but in fact, every trivial thing basically has a criminal record, follow the most appropriate way before for reference, and then think about the differences, think of some ways to deal with it, even if it is over, it is strange that it is unhappy.

Of course, there are one or two things that Luo Yan handled that day that are not very appropriate in Li Xuandao's opinion, but they are already very good. In Li Xuandao's eyes, Luo Yan was already out of school at this time.

At that moment, Li Xuandao took the documents that Luo Yan had processed that day and found Li Shimin.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that Luo Yan doesn't have to stay under his hands anymore."

"Oh? How so? Li Shimin was a little surprised by Li Xuandao's sudden request: "Is it because of the recent rumors that Luo Yan forgot to deal with official business all day long?" If he is so arrogant, then there is really no need to stay in the palace. ”

"Your Highness is wrong, it's not that he's arrogant, it's that he has passed my test." Li Xuandao began to say good things for Luo Yan at this time: "Yesterday I handed him several times more documents than other scribes, who would have thought that he could actually deal with Qiu Xuan and them at the same time, and the method is so old that it is no less than us." Your Highness, please see, this is the paperwork he dealt with yesterday. ”

Li Shimin turned out to be a thick pile and looked at it carefully.

Even though Li Shimin was just thinking about the feasibility of Luo Yan's handling methods while reading them, it took Li Shimin nearly an hour to read them one by one. Looking at Li Shimin's appreciation, Li Xuandao added another fierce material: "It took him an hour and a half to deal with these documents." ”

Li Shimin was instantly stunned.
