67, Night Talk 2
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Between heaven and earth, what is it? Void but not sluggish, moving and getting more and more. ”
"It's better to stay in the middle than to talk too much."
The song went away with the wind, like a lament and an emotion, like a sobbing and a confession, and the aftersound echoed on the beams in the room, pouring into Yan Xing's ears like filaments.
But Yan Xing didn't bother the middle-aged Confucian Gao Ge, he knew that the other party was also a talented and arrogant person, and although Gao Ge suddenly sang deep in love, it was by no means untargeted, as a guest, it was better to wait and see what it would be.
It's just that he couldn't help but think with emotion in his heart, although this kind of hermit between the mountains and wilderness is gentle and elegant, humble and courteous, but once he touches the block in his heart, his pride will rise sharply, and he has no other scruples, or sings and indulges in wine, or wanders, and everything he does is to vent the dull atmosphere in his heart, so that the world can see the demeanor of the depressed scholar at a glance.
From the sad and resentful, the grand artistic conception of Jian'an, to the unbridled and unbridled demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is mixed with how many soldiers and soldiers are full of blood and tears, and how many people with lofty ideals have never met the indignant feelings.
After the song was finished, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's mood seemed to return to his original state, he didn't care about what he had just done, and turned to look at Yan Xing, as if waiting for his cross-examination.
Of course, Yan Xing knew in his heart that what the other party had just said really existed in the Liangzhou Alliance, and even surpassed it.
At the beginning of Yan Xing's crusade in the east, he hated the atrocities of the coalition army burning, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, but as time went by, after nearly two years in the coalition army, his heart was as cold as iron, although he restrained his subordinates from killing indiscriminately, but he secretly acquiesced in their plundering of the people's property, and the man who licked the blood with the knife head carried his head to fight on the battlefield, and no one knew if he would be stabbed by the enemy's knife and gun tomorrow or shot by the stray arrows flying on the battlefield, With a whimper, there is no way to grant them the property of the field house according to their military exploits in killing the enemy, and how can he restrain them to fight for the wealth they have won by fighting desperately to the death?
This kind of predicament can be seen in the righteous army that has fallen and fallen in any dynasty, the troubled times are so ruthless, if you don't kill people, you must be killed by people, you are not evil, but also evil!
Yan Xing took a deep breath and said to the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian scholar:
"Zhou Bo slaughtered the city and wiped out the people, often rampage with millions of troops, Wu Han was good at killing and disturbing the people, and the Han family also relied on its strength to prosper. The great cause of the righteous army was created, although there were many illegal acts, and they invaded the people, but they rose up with the trend, and they were not ordinary thieves. When the time comes, you will be able to restrain the soldiers, and the people will be safe! ”
The middle-aged Confucian couldn't help but sneer after hearing Yan Xing's defense, and he sighed:
"Since three generations, all those who have been punished by heaven have loved the people and cherished the people, and did not disturb Li Shu, and the soldiers were happy to die for them, and the people also relied on them for peace. Isn't it ridiculous that you do too much injustice and claim the destiny of heaven in vain! If, as the king said, the king has done righteous things in the name of destroying the eunuchs, why did he end up in exile in the mountains and forests? ”
The other party was righteous and stern, grasped Yan Xing's so-called righteous army's words, and pointed out that although Han Sui and the Kingdom led the Liangzhou coalition army in the name of exterminating the eunuchs, they burned, killed and looted on the ground, refuted Yan Xing's statement that he raised troops for the great righteousness, and retorted that if Yan Xing was a righteous soldier, why did he end up defeated and fled?
There was an aggressive tendency between the words, Yan Xing was clumsy for a while, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar did not care about his feelings and continued:
"Since ancient times, the way to govern the world has been to educate the people with a heart of forgiveness, and it is also necessary to drive the people away with strict orders from the emperor. Dharma Practitioner, how can the Son of Heaven coexist with the common people. Legislature shall be fair, so that the strong shall not bully the weak, the many shall not bully the widows, the hungry shall be fed, and the needy shall be rested. Since ancient times, the strong cannot be always strong, and the weak are not always weak. The king and others lead the soldiers of the West, and the strong ones are divided into chieftains, and the weak ones are attached to people, and they are even more violent and strong, and they use strength as the hero, so they abuse force like this, and there is no law, how can they be lucky? ”
Hearing this, Yan Xing's eyes suddenly brightened, and even the wry smile stopped. Although he had a slight disagreement on lamenting the hardships of the people's livelihood to the middle-aged Confucian scholars and denouncing the remnants of the people, he spoke to his heart on the issue of "legislating and justifiing". After the defeat, he couldn't help but think that if these 60,000 or 70,000 allied soldiers were unified from top to bottom and ordered Sen Ming's elite division, how could they attack more and less, but instead they were defeated and ended up losing their divisions.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him either introduced Huang Lao Wuwei to learn between his words, or expressed Confucianism's intention of obeying the heavens and loving the people, or the art of the Ming Legalist to order his majesty, erudite and talented, and his vision and bearing were far from ordinary Confucianism.
Yan Xing admired it, but he was also happy in his heart, and secretly thought that if he could ask him to go out of the mountain to help, although his family was defeated and lost in the front, but the lost Sangyu in the east corner, with his help, after returning to Liangzhou, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos to try to recover again.
So Yan Xing changed his previous words and deeds, got up and bowed down and bowed:
"The kid has no talent, although he is in the middle of the blade, but he really has the ambition of the country and the people, he has been away from home for several years, and he has been looking for the road to salvation to no avail, Mr. is talented, or can he solve a puzzle or two for me?"
Seeing that Yan Xing seemed to persuade himself and was taught, the middle-aged Confucian man pondered for a while, and no longer dwelled on the remnants of the rebels in Liangzhou.
Yan Xing saw that this Yan Shi had the talent of warp and weft, and this Yan Shi couldn't see that Yan Xing had the ambition to swallow the world.
He recuperated his energy, walked to the low frame again, picked up a roll of bamboo slips and handed it over, exhaled and said slowly:
"Since you are looking for the way to save the world, you should know that the king's day believes in this person, the way to save the world, or in it!"
Yan Xing was in a daze in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it, looked at the bamboo slip that the middle-aged Confucian took from his hand, unfolded the bamboo slip, and saw three big words at the beginning - "Theory of Hidden Husbands".
The middle-aged Confucian scholar said that Wang Jiexin is the king symbol. Wang Fu is also a native of Liangzhou, and he is a native of Linjing. He is less studious and ambitious, because he is the son of a concubine and has no relatives in his uncle's family, so he is discriminated against in his hometown. And because Wang Fu was not vulgar, admired frugality and abstained from luxury, ridiculed the gains and losses of current politics, and did not ask for recommendations, so the eunuch was not promoted. So he was angry and wrote books in seclusion, and was friendly with Ma Rong, Dou Zhang, Zhang Heng, Cui Ying and other famous scholars and Confucians, and never became a scholar.
Of course, the reason why Yan Xing had a little impression of Wang Fu was not because of the goodwill between him and these famous scholars and Confucians, but because of the story between him and Huangfu Gui, one of the famous generals of this dynasty, "Liangzhou Sanming".
