Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 149 The World
That night, everyone drank and talked about boxing, so unhappy. The old man in the robe never revealed his identity, and Guan Fenglong never introduced him.
However, the discussion of the two grandmasters on the internal strength of the fist has never avoided Guo Bin and others, and many novel ideas and insights are unheard of by Guo Bin. Even Zhang Fei, who doesn't know how to do kung fu in the house, listens to it with relish, not to mention Guan Yu, who has already started kung fu in the house, and even Dong Xing'er, who has a family history.
Late in the night, the crowd dispersed. After the old man in the robe only said goodbye, he jumped out of the window, and in a few vertical jumps, he had disappeared without a trace. I only saw that Guo Bin and others sighed to themselves: If this light skill is concerned, I am afraid that Tong Yuan and this person are only between the best.
The four of them said goodbye to Guan Fenglong and rode to the official army camp, but they all sighed in their hearts at the wonder of today's situation and the deep benefits, and they were all impressed by the demeanor and temperament of the two martial arts masters. In comparison, Guan Fenglong is older, insightful, generous, amiable, and more like a master of the rivers and lakes who is hidden in the mountains and forests; The old man in the Taoist robe is looking forward to self-pride, with a generous bearing, open-minded, broad-minded, well-informed, and strategic, more like a great hero and a chivalrous man who worries about the country and the people.
The two have different personalities and different styles of acting, but they are both very attractive, and they can not only learn a lot of advanced martial arts knowledge and experience in the rivers and lakes, but also feel the master demeanor of the two at all times, which makes people indulge in it and never return. And when it was really time to part, Fang Zhi was reluctant.
Because Huangfu Song was busy with military affairs, and there would be no major war in Guangzong City in the next two months, Guo Bin, who was idle, handed over all military affairs to Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia to deal with, and he would go to Houmazhuang every two or three days to find Guan Fenglong and ask for martial arts. And whenever he mentioned what Hua Tuo said in his letter about taking Guangzong City, Guan Fenglong talked about him left and right, and Guo Bin stopped mentioning it with interest, only talking and laughing every day, and the entry of martial arts also rose by leaps and bounds.
During this period, the old man in the robe also often appeared, and several people learned martial arts, as if they had become friends who had forgotten the year.
As several people became more and more acquainted, the content they talked about was no longer limited to martial arts, but involved the methods of politics and the problems and ways out of today. Since we are talking about this, it is natural that the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is currently in a uproar, is indispensable.
Guan Fenglong asked Guo Bin: "Qianyang thinks that what Taiping Dao did is right?" Or is it evil? ”
Faced with this problem, Guo Bin has mixed feelings. To say that he was still sympathetic to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because most of them were poor peasants, and as far as the Taiping Dao that Guo Bin came into contact with was concerned, its upper leaders, such as Zhang Liang and Ma Yuanyi, were heroes and heroes. However, if you want to say that you agree, Guo Bin will never be able to. In the past, he knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion would fail, so he would not take this huge political risk to gain fame, but now, when he is fully integrated into this society, things are not so simple.
Because Guo Bin has long formed a blood feud with Taiping Dao. When Liu Ban came to Yangzhai, hundreds of people from Taiping Dao attacked Yangzhai County, and Guo Bin burned them to the ground, and from then on it was destined that the grievances between him and Taiping Dao could only be cleaned with blood. Later, Ma Yuanyi was exterminated in Beijing, and Guo Bin became the person who wanted to kill the Taiping Daoists in the world. Later, he captured He Man's 30,000 Yellow Turban Army and broke the 200,000 elites outside Changshe City, Guo Bin gradually drew his grudge with the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Dao to a very deep level.
However, these were all wounds that Guo Bin unilaterally inflicted on Taiping Dao, and it was not until his friend Wei Zhongdao died of a recurrence of arrow sores that Guo Bin really felt the pain brought to him by the Yellow Turban Army. Because before this, the label of the Yellow Turban Army made Guo Bin's perception of Taiping Dao overlabeled, and the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Dao he saw were really just Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Dao, not living people. The trauma brought to these people was rarely touched in Guo Bin's heart, as if Guo Bin was playing a computer game, and the Yellow Turban Army he eliminated was just an NPC.
Guo Bin thought for a long time, and then said: "In the eyes of the younger generation, what Taiping Dao does is not good or evil, just try to survive." ”
Hearing this, Guan Fenglong's eyes lit up, glanced at the old man in the Taoist robe, and then stared at Guo Bin and said, "Oh? What does Qianyang mean by this? ”
Guo Bin said: "This world is not a world of one family and one surname, but also a world of people in the world." However, there is always injustice in the world, there are always people who bully others, and there are always people who die unjustly. But to put it bluntly, everyone is struggling to survive. ”
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Guo Bin continued: "The so-called 'beggar has a second wife, and the neighbor has a lot of chickens. At that time, there was Zhou Tianzi, and everything was said about Wei Qi'. The Confucian system of etiquette and music was originally used to restrain the common people, so where can we talk about justice? As soon as Guo Bin's words came out, Guan Zhang and Dong Xing'er didn't feel new because they had heard Guo Bin say it, but the two great martial arts masters looked at each other and were extremely shocked.
More than 300 years have passed since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools of Thought and respected Confucianism. Over the past 300 years, Confucianism has truly been written into the law from the obvious learning advocated by the imperial court, and has gradually evolved into a common social morality and values recognized by the common people. Especially in the past 20 years or so, although the disaster of the party has caused countless party members to die and be martyred, it has also made Confucianism truly sublimated. In the eyes of the common people today, Confucianism is really a matter of life and death, and it can be maintained by many outstanding talents regardless of life and death.
Guan Fenglong and the old man in the robe are both martial arts masters, and they are handsome for a while. The so-called three hundred and sixty lines, which line to the highest point are interconnected. And martial arts practice to a very high place, the most emphasis is on the understanding and comprehension of martial arts, to put it in a general way, it is the realm, so stupid people can't practice good kung fu.
When the two grandmasters were practicing, they would always think of metaphysical things such as world view and values, and they would always think about why people came to the world, and why people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on. Naturally, for how to save the people and water and fire, naturally these strong people should also consider, this may be a problem that Chinese people will think about, it can be regarded as the thinking tradition of the Chinese nation.
However, since we are born in this era, it is extremely difficult to transcend the cognition of this era; Since it is impossible to transcend the perception of the times, there will inevitably be limitations. In fact, it's not just them, it's Guo Bin, how can they say that their understanding has no limitations? If we ridicule these ancients for their narrow-mindedness and lack of detachment from the times, then two thousand years later, if human civilization has not been destroyed, will the people at that time laugh at us for 50 steps and 100 steps?
In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was in the period of foundation laying, and it was not as stubborn and corrupt as the Ming and Qing dynasties after the Song Dynasty, but it was still very spiritual. However, in the era of unification, the basic values that the country has implemented for hundreds of years are still very well recognized by everyone, how can everyone fundamentally doubt the rationality of Confucianism?
If the Confucian ideology of loyalty and patriotism is unreasonable at its root, where can it be used to restrain the common people? Now that Taiping Dao raised the banner of rebellion and rebelled against the government, it has a theoretical basis, and it is no longer a rebellion.
Therefore, Guo Bin said such a limerick poem that everyone knew in later generations, but it really suppressed the two martial arts masters.
Guan Fenglong was reluctant, and said: "From Qianyang's point of view, is it right or wrong for Taiping Dao to do something?" ”
Guo Bin said: "Now in the court, the eunuchs are in chaos, relatives are in charge, and the yin and yang in the world are unbalanced. If it is easy to say in ordinary years, but last year coincided with a great drought, the Central Plains was thousands of miles away, tens of millions of homeless people were waiting to be fed, and the hungry people ate the soil to fill their hunger and even changed their children to eat. ”
And the court behaved at a loss, and the advance and retreat were out of ground, and the fashion song and dance carried it in the hungry people crying blood. The so-called 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road', the injustice of the world is so far! Taiping Dao started at this time, although there is a suspicion of coercing public opinion, but there is no lack of the heart to ask for the people's life. Bin met several heroes of Taiping Road, a heart of love for the people can show the sun and the moon, can be described as loyal and brave, heroic heroes! Bin is also extremely admired in his heart. Speaking of this, Guo Bin fell silent, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Ma Yuanyi and I are heart-to-heart, although we have different ideas and different positions, we have a heart for the people, but we have the same goal! At the beginning, I thought about letting him go, but he felt that he was defeated and could not destroy the Han court in one fell swoop, so he would only cause a catastrophe among the people, and he was willing to die! Such heroic deeds are really worthy of Guo's admiration, but their unwiseness is also worthy of Guo's reflection. ”
Seeing Guo Bin stop, the old man in the Taoist robe asked, "I don't know what you want to reflect on?" ”
Guo Bin glanced at him and said: "When Taiping Dao raised an incident, he once raised a banner, saying that 'the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand', do your predecessors know?" ”
The old man in the Taoist robe nodded and said, "This matter has spread all over the world, and I am afraid that no one knows about it, and no one knows about it." ”
Guo Bin said: "Yes, this is where I feel I need to reflect on it." ”
Guan Fenglongqi said: "Oh? What does this mean? ”
Guo Bin said: "Taiping Dao said that Cangtian is dead, and Huangtian should be established, but it is just to overthrow the Han court and establish a new court." ”
The old man in the Taoist robe leaned forward and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
Guo Bin said: "The establishment of a new dynasty can certainly redistribute resources and ease social contradictions. But the imperial court is still the imperial court, and what is practiced is still the set of systems set by Qin Shi Huang, but it is just a group of people, where is there anything to create? ”
A few words made everyone speechless.
I only heard Guo Bin continue: "The foundation of society, in the economy, in the property and livelihood of the people, if the system cannot be reformed, the new imperial court will last for a few hundred years, and the dynasty will be changed again, and the people will suffer again. After being silent for a while, Guo Bin said with a little heaviness: "Bin has seen with his own eyes that the official army killed the Yellow Turban captives on the riverside, and these captives were still the subjects of the Han Dynasty a few months ago!" One will be a success! Alas! One will be a success! ”
With a sigh, Guo Bin paced to the courtyard wall, looked at the round bright moon, and chanted a poem written by Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty, which was known to everyone in later generations.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
The snow-white moonlight sprinkled on the earth and also sprinkled on Guo Bin's body, making everyone feel that Guo Bin, who was reciting poetry, was like an immortal floating out of the dust, full of unreality. Dong Xing'er's heart trembled, Guo Bin at this time was full of melancholy and sadness about the country and the people, and he actually had a "compassion" temperament that was extremely incommensurate with his age.
Just ask, will that girl not be tempted?
