(Why, I dream of sleep deprivation...... ）

Last night, Yun Chongbo slept very poorly, and it seemed that he had not been able to "sleep deeply", always between "half asleep and half awake".

The dream was unprecedentedly chaotic, and Yun Chongbo held his head and thought about it for a long time before he roughly sorted out his thoughts and confirmed that he seemed to have three dreams at the same time.

In a dream, Xiao Wenshuang, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared, and poured out her thoughts to Yun Chongbo with unprecedented boldness. Of course, this is a good dream, but it is interspersed with two other dreams, and it comes to an abrupt end before it is finished, which makes Yun Chongbo feel quite "unfinished".

The fly in the ointment is that Yun Chongbo recalled that Xiao Wenshuang's title for him, from beginning to end, was always "immortal", which was of course not wrong, but in Yun Chongbo, it was really uncomfortable.

In a dream, Hun Tian, Dongshan, Chang Gung and the sea gathered together, biting their fingers and dripping blood, and doing the method of "helping the horse", the memory of this dream was extremely vague, Yun Chongbo only vaguely felt that this thing was led by Chang Geng, on the surface, the reason was to verify some of his experience in studying time spells, and to investigate the "future" of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, but in essence, it seemed to be to reconcile the suspicions of Dongshan and the sea due to the previous incident.

The power of the four of them, it seems, is to invite a rather great miracle, but trying to recall, Yun Chongbo can't remember what it is, but it did move all the kings, including Chang Geng himself, and also made Lu Hai put down his body, ask Dongshan for sin, and was recognized by it.

In a dream, Yun Chongbo didn't know where he was, he only felt that his surroundings seemed to be full of blood and fire, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and he only remembered some remnants of the questions and answers between the two.

"I've always wanted to ask that, you ...... What will happen if you win? ”

"The meaning of the existence of Taiping Dao is not only to fight with the 'emperor's surname', right? The reason why there will always be people who want to follow you is because you describe the 'heaven on earth' that will come in the future, right? ”

"However, I have always wanted to ask, how should that 'earthly heaven' be established? And what does it look like? ”

……

"We're already building. The sacred treasury system is only the first step. ”

"Heaven on earth will be a 'selfless' world."

……

The interspersing of the three dreams made each one confusing, and Yun Chongbo could sort it out, but that's it, which made him very annoyed, but there was no way.

Judging from past experience, there has never been a dream twice, so Yun Chongbo doesn't expect to be able to browse the information he wants to know again, the only hope is that when he falls into a dream, he can be lucky enough to meet the sea in his previous life and recall this past.

(sighs...... How can you dream of such a mess...... Heads are blowing up fast. ）

Three dreams, three lives, the identities of the protagonists are different, and they are extremely chaotic in time and space, Yun Chongbo feels that if this kind of dream comes a few more times, he has a great chance to refine it.

(Moreover, I didn't go yesterday, and if I don't go today...... ）

After hesitating again and again, Yun Chongbo couldn't make up his mind to go, and comforted himself even more by saying that the current dream scripture had been loosened, and he could already know more about the old things, even so, it was not necessary to go through Xun Huan.

It seems to be round, but he understands that he is just lying to himself, Yun Chongbo is extremely distressed by it, and he hates his weakness so much, but he just can't overcome his weakness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alas......"

listless, Yun Chongbo stepped out for breakfast - Xiaoyin hadn't gotten up yet, and came out after a while, his face was pale and his spirit was extremely poor.

When Yun Chongbo asked, Xiaoyin only said that he was thinking about things at night and didn't sleep well, and he didn't have anything to say, and Yun Chongbo didn't know how to ask. But I heard a few sneers from the side, which were forcefully suppressed, it was naturally Uncle Hua Shengrong and the boss of the nail palace, there must be no good words in the mouths of the two people on the left and right, and Yun Chongbo didn't bother to pay attention to it, but he didn't pay attention to it: Xiaoyin frowned, swept a few glances, and the laughter stopped for a while.

"Ah, by the way, nephew, this is the book you want."

With a pat on his head, Hua Shengrong took out a few old books from the bookshelf and spread them out in front of Yun Chongbo.

"Zhuzi Ji Shuo", "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", "Treatise on the Buddha...... Anyway, you flip through it first. ”

Hoping to increase his knowledge, especially for the understanding of the cause of the "Little Heavenly Kingdom" or "Taiping", Yun Chongbo worked hard to seek knowledge in all aspects, in addition to asking Xun Huan for advice, he also asked Hua Shengrong to find some books for him that could reflect the theoretical composition of the great Confucianism and even the hundred schools of thought of the princes of the past dynasties.

"In short, this collection is really shallow, it's just the level of Mengxue, but it's rare to be complete, Confucianism, Taoism, and ink, yin and yang...... Everything, at your level, it's just right to read this book. ”

It sounded very harsh, and after opening the book, Yun Chongbo was even more annoyed, what is the "level of Mengxue"? It's basically a Mongolian reading material, four words and one sentence, all rhymes, obviously not for "things to be seen by scholars".

But, sadly, Yun Chongbo had to admit that even if it was such a rhyme, there were too many allusions and terms that he couldn't understand, and in desperation, he thought of taking the book to ask Xun Huan for advice, but he really didn't want to see him.

"Uh, Xianggong, if ......"

"I said don't call me a father-in-law!"

He waved his hand in a big reaction, and unexpectedly heard Xiaoyin's low cry and Hua Shengrong and Nail Gong Meng's snickering, but Yun Chongbo was helpless.

"I said that the virtuous nephew, the most important thing is to abandon the chaos from the beginning to the end......"

"Yes, yes, people like you, if you want to cross into the hands of a certain sunspot, you should be on the tiger's head...... Uh, maybe it's just a dog's head? ”

"Nonsense, who abandoned ...... And, most importantly, I've never 'messed up'! ”

gritted his teeth to prove that he was not innocent, but in exchange for more ridicule, especially when he heard that "I have never been 'messy' and kindly said, you are the protagonist of the service street, or hurry up and forget the ...... of the service street", and finally couldn't bear it anymore and beat the two of them until they flew out.

"Anyway, Xiaoyin, don't worry, I will protect you, but, that, that title, we also said that it can't be used......"

As early as yesterday, the word "Xianggong" had greatly stimulated Yun Chongbo and resolutely refused, but this was explained by Xiaoyin himself, and came to the conclusion that "Xiaoyin should have understood that she is no longer the young lady of the Sima family, and she is not worthy of climbing ...... at all", which made Yun Chongbo have a headache ten times, and in the end, he had to vaguely reach a consensus to call him "childe".

"Well, it's a bad sound, and I forgot about ...... all of a sudden."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it!"

Just like a person with a ghost in his heart, Yun Chongbo quickly brought the topic back to the book.

Just now, Xiaoyin said very carefully that he knew a little bit about poetry and books, and maybe he could help Yun Chongbo interpret something.

"Well, because the godmother once wanted Xiaoyin to marry into the Su family, she specially ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't continue, causing Yun Chongbo to persuade again, and for a while, he forgot the mystery that had briefly arose.

(This, when I was in Jinzhou last year, did Xiaoyin recognize words at that time?) ）

"This is the explanation of the Five Elements, they say that all things in heaven and earth are born from the combination of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as long as you master the laws in it, you can have long-term peace and stability, and the world is peaceful...... Oh, you said that sentence, it should have been copied incorrectly, that is the meaning of the predecessors of the Legalists, which means that as long as the system manages people and the process manages affairs, officials can't be bad if they want to, and they can have long-term peace and stability and peace in the world......"

"Ah, why does everyone say that their own methods can make the world peaceful?"

"This ...... Because, what everyone wants to hear is how to make the world peaceful. ”

Tell Yun Chongbo that the "Hundred Schools of Thought" is the collective name of a group of people, among whom there are almost no powerful warriors and warlocks, but they are all famous wise men and scholars, who have been active in the "Warring States Period" before Emperor Xuanyuan, stimulating each other and complementing each other.

"At that time, there was a war every day, either you fought me, or I fought you, fighting back and forth, and it seemed that it would never end...... Therefore, everyone is especially looking forward to the day when this day can be completely ended. ”

Therefore, there is a "hundred schools of thought", each holding its own words, attacking each other, and believing that they have the key to the future.

"At that time, there was no Taiping Dao, and Buddhism had not yet appeared."

"Uh, I know."

At first, the purpose was to learn more about the theory of Confucianism, but after feeling his cowardice, Yun Chongbo had a faint thought, that is, in this kind of study, he could find a definition that he could convince, accept, and confidently convey to others, a definition of "what is peace" and "how to achieve peace". He didn't want anyone to know about it, so he only asked Xiaoyin when he really couldn't read it, and was very careful to hide his thoughts. Therefore, he read very slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch, but he had only turned a dozen pages.

"Alas, these people are so pitiful......"

Looking at the approaching meal, Yun Chongbo closed the book and sighed while stretching his sore waist, which made Xiaoyin stunned.

"Pathetic?"

"yes...... Don't you think? ”

Looking at Xiaoyin very suspiciously, Yun Chongbo said that he felt that these things were really pitiful.

"Think about it, it took them a lifetime to construct their own theories and go out to publicize them!"

They all believe that their theories can indeed save the world and lead the people of the world to a permanent peaceful and prosperous world, from this point of view, all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought can be regarded as comrades, but today, thousands of years later, the theories of each of them have also proved to be insufficient to bring peace and maintain the operation of the world independently.

"Look at where they are now, a chapter, a page, or even just a few lines, a few lines in a collection!"

Because he wanted to find his own "Taiping Theory", Yun Chongbo suddenly felt that he was very able to understand and sympathize with them, understand their efforts and struggles, and sympathize with their "efforts and struggles" that were meaningless after all.

"You say, they fought so hard with each other and debated with each other, especially those completely different theories...... They both believe that they are right, and if they use each other's theories to govern the world, everyone will be in a mess. ”

However, facts have proved that the opposite of "putting on the top of the road" is not necessarily "not pulling out a dime", or in other words, the two completely opposite theories, in the end, the most likely thing is to be abandoned together.

"Anyway...... What a pathetic! ”

"This, Xiaoyin has never thought of it like this."

It's not polite, but I really haven't thought about the problem from this angle, and for a while, Xiaoyin suddenly felt surprised:

(Just like last time in Golden State, when I thought I was in control, a new idea suddenly popped up without warning...... But, last time it was Yuqing's old fox who inspired him, who is it this time? ）

(Could it be because of Zigong's stimulation...... Or, is it something to do with that power? ）

During the night, Xiaoyin tried to manipulate Yun Chongbo's dream again, and was also counterattacked by that powerful force, but she had already predicted it, and she not only succeeded in protecting herself, but also captured some regularity.

(The power to protect his brain comes from himself, and he himself is completely unaware of it...... What's that, exactly? ）

While distracted, Xiaoyin still paid attention to Yun Chongbo, and seeing that he seemed to suddenly remember something, he ran to the side and flipped through a few books, moving quickly.

(That's ...... Selected poems of the past dynasties, as well as "Selected Poems of Eleven Families", what is he looking for, to check a poem? ）

After turning it over for a while, it seemed that nothing had been found, Yun Chongbo walked over stupidly, patted his head, and asked Xiaoyin for a poem.

"It seems that there are some parents, what sorrows, and what are the autumn flows...... Anyway, it seems to be that. ”

Hurriedly using his brain, Xiaoyin really couldn't think of what Yun Chongbo was talking about, but he was very happy to see him suddenly pat his head.

"Ah, I remembered, yes, yes, it was my parents' loyalty as a reward for the country, why ......"

The movement stopped suddenly, Yun Chongbo stood still, muttering in his mouth, his voice getting lower and lower, Rao is Xiaoyin was full of ear strength, and he could only hear some remnants of "tired body, autumn", and he didn't understand the essentials at all. I saw that Yun Chongbo's face was red and white, and he seemed to be working very hard with his brain.

(So, is that so, is that what it means, they're all because of this...... ）

"Yes!"

slapped on the table, Xiaoyin was startled, but saw that Yun Chongbo was about to jump up again and rush out of the door.

"Wait, Childe, you ......"

"Ahh By the way, you guys wait and eat first, don't wait for me, I'm ...... I'll go up the mountain! ”

(Up the hill?) ）

Sitting back in place, Xiaoyin lowered his head and slowly cleaned up, but he was suspicious in his heart.

(Where did he go...... And, what does that poem mean?! ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(The industry is not finished, the body is tired, and the temples are autumn; You and I, endure the long-cherished wish and pay it to the bottom of the river? …… ）

Silently recalled, Yun Chongbo went faster and faster.

Just now, the memories that had been chaotic suddenly became clear, and Yun Chongbo remembered more details from the dream, such as how the Hun Tians got together to help the puppet, and what kind of revelation they had invited?

(Does this thing mean "peaceful"?) Is the Taiping admonishing them? ）

In fact, in the dream, when he just found out that Hun Tian and they wanted to "help him", Yun Chongbo was really shocked.

It can be regarded as one of the most common rituals in the land of Great Xia, and any fool and fool knows how to do it, not to mention how many gods and liars rely on it to sell their skills, in Yun Chongbo's heart, using this kind of thing to predict the future of such a great cause as the "Little Heavenly Kingdom" is really ridiculous to the point that he can't laugh anymore.

But he had to be serious: he had personal experience, and he knew that the time barrier could indeed be chiseled through, and the power of the "future" could indeed act on the "past". After all, Dongshan is one of the strongest sorcerers in the world, and Chang Gung has a cultivation that may be unprecedented in time spells, coupled with the tenth-level strength of the heavens and the sea, these four people work together to create any miracle in the world, and it is not particularly surprising to say that they have created any miracles in the world.

When he woke up in the morning, Yun Chongbo, who was hit by three dreams at the same time, could only recall very few details except for his headache, but as he walked around, ate breakfast, and exchanged pleasantries, his headache gradually weakened, and he began to be able to fish out more fragments, and I don't know if it was related to the collection of hundreds of schools of thought, when he was seriously studying those thinkers who were active thousands of years ago, he seemed to suddenly hear someone sigh in his head.

(The sacred things of the Five Emperors and the Three Emperors deceived the endless passers-by...... ）

The meaningful poems stimulated Yun Chongbo even more, making him suddenly recall many details about the dream of "Fu Ping".

The four of them dripped blood together, and after that, it was Chang Gung as the host, and the three powerhouses of the Divine Domain did their best and lost their strength according to his requirements. Soon, the neat sand surface surged on its own, as if an invisible giant pen was swinging at will, vertical and horizontal.

"Parents are loyal to the country, why are you afraid of cutting off your head?!"

The word is wild grass, unpredictable, and it shocked the four people, including Chang Geng.

(Indeed, they have paid a lot...... ）

With Yun Chongbo's own experience, it is not enough to understand the deep meaning of the words, but through the feeling of walking in the sea, he can understand how these giants who have pinned their lifelong pursuit on the cause of the Little Heavenly Kingdom have been aroused.

(The industry is not finished, the body is tired, and the temples are autumn...... ）

The taste of regret, unwillingness, and determination, even though written in the wildest cursive, was soaked with lingering sadness, and then, with a powerful rhetorical question, pierced everyone's chest.

(You and I, endure your long-cherished wish and pay it to the bottom of the river?) ）

Chewing on such a mysterious "divine revelation", Yun Chongbo really couldn't imagine what kind of god was invited to surrender by Chang Geng. All he could know was that after the end of the helping, the four people involved were all as white as the earth, sweating and sweating.

"The industry is not finished, the body is tired, and the temples are autumn...... Yes, after many years of raising the army, we are no longer young and strong. ”

In a trance, Hun Tian said slowly: "Fu and Dongliu...... Pay with the East Stream...... Brothers, you, can you bear it? ”

"Tell me, you guys, can you bear with it?!"

"Never."

Stretching out his hand, he held it tightly with Hun Tian, and Dongshan said: "After a lot of hardship, we have only come here, and if we take a step forward, we will be able to establish an eternal peaceful world...... I will never give up. ”

“…… Never! ”

"Me too."

The dream ended here, and Yun Chongbo couldn't remember what happened next, but when he thought of how the four immortals shook hands tightly, they swore a silent oath and calmly ...... Yun Chongbo, there is an urge to cry.

(You didn't give up, but you still failed...... ）

Unexpectedly, this gave Yun Chongbo motivation and courage, so that he was finally able to come to see Xun Huan and ask him more details, more, about the three provinces of Gongsun.

(I need to know, I have to know, and no matter how they fail, I must know!) ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If you want to talk about this, you have to start with the concept of 'Taiping'."

Choosing the sentence very carefully, Xun Huan rarely did not drink while talking.

As Yun Chongbo already knows, the word "Taiping" is not the patent of Taiping Dao, and the title of the hundred schools of thought for their own doctrine is all based on "to the world to Taiping".

"Taiping is a good thing, everyone wants it, it's not that Confucianism doesn't want it, the court doesn't want it, only Taiping Dao wants the world to be peaceful."

Including Confucianism itself, although it disdains to use the word "Taiping" repeatedly, the highest form of its political ideal, "Datong World", in essence, can also satisfy the people's yearning for Taiping.

"In short, the key lies in who can build Taiping successfully."

Of course, there are obvious differences between them, the same is the word "Taiping", but the meaning in it is very different.

"For the people, the most basic 'peace' is that there will be no more wars, and everyone can live to their own days...... This is actually the most basic requirement, and it is also included in the 'peace' of all families, but sadly, even this has not been achieved. ”

Each family has its own philosophy on how to achieve this: it is said that it is necessary to be "clear and polite", so that everyone can clarify and accept their identity, and there will be no higher luxury, and there will be no more disputes. There are also people who say that it is better to "do nothing", and that no one should do more than survive, and that there is no country and no king, and that everyone is muddy, and some people shout to "use the law", formulate all-encompassing and infrastructural laws, and attach huge and inaccommodating violent guarantees to deter all adventurers who wander in front of the thunder pool...... Wait a minute.

"And Taiping Dao, their philosophy is 'selfless'."

The spiritual origin of Taiping Dao, born in Taoism and used in ink, is full of idealism, and therefore has a great attraction to the middle and lower class people, but in the hands of the first generation of Taoist ancestors, that is, Shang Qing and Yu Qing, who founded Taiping Dao, only put forward the concept of "selflessness", but did not make it clear how to achieve this goal.

"In the beginning, the propaganda of Taiping Dao was very interesting, it was a hodgepodge, copying the Mohist 'love and love', imitating the Confucian 'Datong', and of course absorbing the Taoist spirit of 'abstinence'...... Hey, it's messy, but it's attractive. ”

It was announced that in the ancient world, people did not fight each other, and the world was public, and the reason why the beacon fire continued for years was because of selfishness.

"If there is selfishness, it is necessary to protect, if there is selfishness, you want to increase, all people are born in nature, the original is not the same, the brave are robbed, the cowardly are bullied, and the cowardly are mermaids...... Each of them used their selfishness for their own purposes, and accumulated endlessly, and the world was no longer peaceful. ”

Regarding "selfishness" as the greatest evil in the world, the Taiping Taoist people advocate "selflessness in the world", saying that in this way, they will reach the peaceful realm of "equal to the noble and the low, and the rich and the poor".

"Of course, it's ridiculous, but it's also a very moral advocacy, but the bad thing is that they go too far."

Refusing to stop propagating "morality", the Taiping Daoists deduced their theories forward, and from the perspective of "selflessness", the system of the emperor's surname of "family in the world" is the biggest "selfishness", and it has naturally become a demon that cannot but be overthrown.

"So, there is a continuous eternal war for thousands of years...... A war in which no one can see the end. ”

With a wry smile, Xun Huan said that unless someone can establish a "Taiping" that is recognized by most people and can be passed on, this war will probably never end.

"When the emperor's surname is strong, it can suppress the Taiping Dao, but it is impossible to exterminate it, and when it is weak, the battle of the Taiping Dao will become the first collision to overthrow the old emperor's family."

"But, Mr. Xun ......"

He was very interested in these things, but Yun Chongbo wanted to know some other things, for example, although the original Taiping Dao Ancestor only put forward the goal of "selflessness" and did not have supporting measures, but the Taiping Dao has been flowing for thousands of years, and there should have been people with high political wisdom in the middle, has no one tried to achieve it?

"Yes, of course...... Yes, there is. ”

After a while, Xun Huan said: "More than 2,000 years ago, in the last years of the 'Nanhai Chijia' rule, Taiping Dao raised a big incident, and designated the Jinguan as Tianjing, which once divided the world into two parts, and in the process, they even tried to establish a completely 'selfless' society...... Of course, they failed in the end. ”

To elaborate on "selflessness", the Little Heavenly Kingdom proposed to make "the family has no selfish property, and the heart has no selfish thoughts." To this end, they established the "sacred treasury" system: on the premise of establishing the basic living conditions of ordinary families, all excess property was confiscated and used as a whole.

Of course, that is only the beginning, and there are a large number of rather complex systems related to it, which are related to the distribution of resources, the construction of infrastructure and the guarantee of social activities, the selection and promotion of talents, propaganda and belief, and the unity of thought...... In short, at that time, Taiping Dao did have a group of geniuses, not only strong rebels, but also excellent wisdom and political power, and at the same time of 'fighting', it also made a very high level of 'construction'. ”

During those decades, even many of the stalwarts of Confucianism began to doubt the teachings of the Master, and began to try to see if it was really possible for the Little Heavenly Kingdom to succeed. Those who went the farthest went even began to try to use Confucian classics to explain and annotate the various governance of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, and extended it to the realization of the "Great Harmony World".

"Therefore, the most powerful is never the knife and fist, but the ideal, the theory, the ideal that can be followed by the people of the world, the theory that can be recognized by many people of knowledge...... the future of 'eternal peace', who would not want to?"

"But, they failed."

“…… Right. ”

Stunned for a moment, Xun Huan said slowly: "In the end, they still failed. ”

In the eyes of Gongsun Sanxing, the failure of the Taiping Dao was doomed from the beginning, no matter how far they could go, no matter how successful they could be, but in the end, they would definitely fail. This unwavering faith enabled many wavering people to regain their footing, and it also won him great prestige, especially after the collapse of the Little Kingdom of Heaven as predicted, and he was regarded as a god-like wise man and statesman.

"But in fact, many people don't know the true meaning of the prophecies of the Three Provinces ......"

"Ah, what did you say?!"

With his mouth open to his fist, Yun Chongbo couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Three provincial princes, he has long been desperate...... He didn't believe that the Nanhai Chi family could still withstand the impact of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, he didn't expect that the imperial capital could really hold it, he always thought that it would be impossible to defend until the Qin Wang army arrived......"

"Well, that is, he, he's just a very successful liar who deceived everyone, in fact...... He himself doesn't believe what he says at all?! ”

"Liar, liar?"

Frowning, Xun Huan shook his head again and again, obviously dissatisfied with this kind of abrupt previous comments.

"The Duke of San Province is not a liar, never has been, he just said 'Taiping Dao will eventually fail', but never said 'Today's emperor surname can have the last laugh'."

I really wanted to say "This is just nonsense", Yun Chongbo didn't feel any difference between the two sentences, but Xun Huan's extremely serious expression made it impossible for him to draw conclusions so rashly.

(So...... ）

When you think about it with your heart, the answer really appears, which makes Yun Chongbo break out in a cold sweat.

"The meaning of the three provinces of Gongsun is that even if the Little Heavenly Kingdom can invade the imperial capital and overthrow the emperor's surname, it will definitely fail in the end...... Why? ”

"Because ......"

His eyes were full of pity, Xun Huan said: "Because, as I just said, the most powerful is not the knife and fist, but the ideal and theory, the ideal of Taiping Dao is indeed full of attraction, but it has a fatal flaw in theory, how can it be undefeated?" ”

For a series of systems established to achieve "selflessness", such as the holy treasury, the three provinces of Gongsun gave severe criticism and prediction at that time
