Chapter 36 One day Shuo Fang One day battle, how many people can see the state city (7)
After Su Fengji withdrew from the Chongwen Palace, Li Congjing did not immediately redevote himself to the review of the chapters, but sat on the golden palace and pondered for a while. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
On the one hand, he was certainly thinking about whether there were any mistakes and omissions in the discussion with Su Fengji, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about whether there was anything that could be improved in his words, deeds, smiles and smiles as a king in the discussion with Su Fengji.
ββLi Congjing has never stopped thinking about these two.
Essentially, Lee is a perfectionist. And perfection does not exist, so there is no end to the process of striving for better. As a king, Li Congjing strives to handle every major national affairs more decently, while also pursuing to make himself a more perfect person. In a specific way, it is to play the role of the king more impeccably.
At the end of the day, it's a sign of dissatisfaction.
"There is no end to people's desires, people will never be satisfied with what they get, when they get something, they always want to get more, the pursuit of money, beauty, and power is the same, but what about the pursuit of one's own cultivation?"
Li Congjing secretly thought in his heart, "Unlike people's pursuit of material and power, it is always difficult to have too many specific goals for the improvement of personal cultivation. If I want to dominate the world, then I only need to conquer Hexi, the Western Regions, and Tubo, and I'm almost done, but where is the goal of personal cultivation improvement? Don't be happy with things or sad about yourself? Moody and invisible? Indifferent to fame and fortune, kind and kind? Don't be offended by the courtiers' outspoken offenses and offenses repeatedly, as long as their advice is beneficial to the country, I will always smile and let them be in a high position? Obviously, these standards are not only vague, but they are far from enough, and therefore even more difficult to pursue, and I don't even know how much I have achieved. And for a king, is it appropriate not to be angry, happy, sad, and utilitarian? How to do it with a righteous heart and self-cultivation, how to rule the country and level the world? At what point is it called? So what? The first emperor of the martial arts, the three emperors Degai Wu Emperor, Tang Taizong has the power of the heavenly khan, no ancients before...... And then what? They were all satisfied with their own merits, so they were not without pride, so Qin II died, so Taizong didn't even manage his family well. β
Thinking of this, Li Congjing stood up, came to the palace gate with his hands, and looked at the eaves of the palace city, "People are always dissatisfied in the face of power and desire, when they are poor, they want to get 100 gold, and after they get 100 gold, they want to get 10,000 gold, but people are always easy to be satisfied with their own achievements, boasting and even arrogant, and people are always blind to their own virtue and cultivation, because of jealousy, hatred, because of victory, arrogance, discouragement due to defeat, not humble, not good, not indifferent...... What can I do to avoid making mistakes? β
Leaving the palace gate, Li Congjing walked along the corridor with his hands in his hands, his brows slightly locked. Jing Xinmo and the others looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with His Majesty the Emperor, and suddenly looked serious and contemplative, so they had to follow cautiously.
Li Congjing thought as he walked: "Now that I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, every word and deed and every move will affect the whole world, and the slightest mistake may cause many people to suffer, and the slightest misconduct may cause the society to suffer losses, and the slightest habit may corrupt the social atmosphere...... If the talent is not enough, if it is not enough to cultivate morality, isn't it sorry for the Tang Dynasty, and it is a dereliction of duty to be the emperor? β
Unconsciously, Li Congjing came to a garden, and then he thought: "If a person is not a saint, I am indeed not a saint." But because I'm not a saint, I have to give up approaching a saint and give up the pursuit of my own cultivation? β
Seeing the flowers in full bloom and smelling the fragrance of all things, Li Congjing stopped, "If the country loses its enterprising heart, it will die, if I don't have an enterprising heart, how can I make this country always enterprising?" β
"How can I improve my cultivation?" Li Congjing thought about this question.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Ding Hei, the commander of the guards, he walked to Ding Hei, and when Ding Hei didn't react, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, listening to the crisp sword chant of the long sword out of the sheath, Li Congjing's spiritual world is like a stone falling into a lake, and the mystery can only be understood and cannot be spoken.
He moved his body, waved his sword and danced, a set of swordsmanship swayed out like clouds and water, in an instant, the petals flew like heavy rain, the cold light was like fish scales, the sound of the sword was like an avalanche, Li Congjing's black-robed figure rose and turned in the garden, moving like a horse stepping on a flying swallow, and the air was like spring and white snow.
Ding Hei was surprised at first, but watching Li Congjing dancing the sword, his eyes were soon full of shock, and even Jing Xinmo beside him unceremoniously said, "Your Majesty took away your sword like this, what is the reaction of your guard commander", all of them were unheard, in Ding Hei's eyes, he only felt that the figure of Li Congjing dancing the sword in front of him was wonderful, and the swordsmanship was also vaguely beyond the category of "art", and reached the artistic conception of "Dao".
On an attic not far away, Tao Xiaoyao was climbing the stairs to enjoy the scenery, when Li Congjing appeared in the field of vision, she noticed it, until she saw Li Congjing suddenly stop in the garden, silent for a long time, and suddenly drew his sword and danced, making the garden "chickens fly and dogs jumping", she thought: "Is this guy crazy?" β
But the thought flashed away, and her heart suddenly touched, and then her eyes changed. She has a deep understanding of Li Congjing, and through the other party's words and deeds, it is not difficult to sense Li Congjing's state of mind. Seeing the colorful and colorful scenes in the garden, especially Li Congjing's state of self-forgetfulness, she sensed an indescribable detachment.
"This guy...... Isn't it enlightened? Tao Yaoyao's pupils widened slightly, she looked at the scene in the garden, looked at the figure of Li Congjing dancing with a sword, her heartstrings gradually touched, in a trance, there was an unreal ethereal inspiration in her heart, she actually experienced the artistic conception of flat sand and falling geese, sunset and drums.
"How is this possible...... Living in the deep palace every day, can you also be enlightened? Correct...... If I hadn't realized it, how could I have this kind of feeling? β
Unlike Ding Hei's shock through a layer of window paper and Tao Yaoyao's induction of touching the threshold, Jing Xinmo and the others were at a loss, just curious about how His Majesty suddenly had the interest in dancing the sword, of course, they could also see that the figure was extremely chic, and the swordsmanship was extremely clever.
At this time, Li Congjing's heart was clear, and when his clothes fluttered, he thought: "Character, mood, and personality, just like learning, practice every day, and practice every day." Just like this martial arts swordsmanship, there is always room for improvement, and there is always a higher realm. The way of governing the country, the law of governance, beginners such as literacy, know its surface but do not know its meaning, toddler, then learn such as intensive reading, know its context, and can understand its essence, then you can walk like flying, with this foundation, and then learn such as composition, thousands of words in the belly, the heart has that heaven and earth, there is a famous article between the ink, and the antelope hanging horns can be found without a trace. As the saying goes, knowing the essence and then knowing God, knowing God and being able to get one. Where there are ten thousand forms, one will be made. β
Suddenly, Li Congjing knew the truth that personal cultivation should not be satisfied, and even more knew the truth of how to improve cultivation. Doing good is practice, controlling anger is practice, practicing the sword is practice, reviewing the chapter is practice, and governing the world is also practice. Everything else is not a practice. Only by getting the way to forge ahead, working hard every day, and knowing the essence of all things, can you feel the common truth, and then you can do nothing.
There is a realm in doing things, there is a realm in learning, and there is also a realm in life.
With a bang, a flat boat-like figure, a bird-like figure swept past Jing Xinmo and others, Tao Yaoyao had a sword in his hand, and the green silk was like a waterfall, facing Li Congjing who was dancing the sword.
Jing Xinmo and the others' faces changed greatly, and they were about to take action, when they suddenly heard Li Congjing's "It's just right", and they all stopped their movements.
Tao Yao swept into the garden, one person danced the sword, and immediately became a two-person sparring, the two figures of the wild goose spreading their wings, in the sword light and sword shadow, back and forth, a hundred flowers bloomed, and thousands of leaves flew.
"What is the meaning of human existence?" Li Congjing waved his sword, and it was a question.
Tao Yaoyao waved her sword to greet her, but she didn't hear her voice, only heard the sword groaning.
"What is the purpose of my existence?" Li Congjing asked again.
He was like an eagle, and she was like a bird.
"What is the purpose of the king's existence?" Li Congjing asked.
Every question is the ultimate question.
Flowers, sea leaves, snow, silent sound.
"Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world!" The two jumped on the rockery, and Li Congjing's voice was like a light song.
"I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yixiao!" The two crossed the verandah and crossed the lake, and Li Congjing's voice was like a bell chime.
"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there, and the lights were dim!" Jumping to the top of the small pavilion, Li Congjing took the long sword, and the sound was like the waves.
The flowers fall, the leaves fall, and the garden returns to peace. Only Ding Hei, Jing Xinmo and a large group of people hurriedly rushed over, looking up at the two people standing opposite each other on the top of the pavilion, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are at a loss.
Tao Yaoyao also took the sword, and there was no sadness or joy on her face, "You realized?" β
Li Congjing waved his hand, and the long sword slid through a neat straight line and plunged into Ding Hei's feet.
Li Congjing's eyes seem to have three thousand worlds, and they seem to be empty, "Have you realized?" β
Tao Yao paused for a moment, "It seems that I don't understand." β
Li Congjing looked at Tao Yao with his hand, "It doesn't matter if you realize, you don't care if you don't understand." β
The two fell back to the ground and walked together to the wooden fence in the pavilion, looking side by side at the clean and clear lake.
After a while, Li Congjing said: "The great cause of the first emperor, there are no words to describe, Taizong's achievements, there are traces to follow, but no matter what, they are them after all." β
Tao Yaoyao finally smiled, she looked at Li Congjing's side face, and her smile was like a touch of morning glow on the horizon, "You won't be like the First Emperor, too majestic, and you won't be as proud and complacent as Taizong." The achievements of the world are now in your eyes, and they are just a glimpse of the sky. As an emperor, you will not abandon it, but as Li Congjing, even if you catch it in your hands, you will not be arrogant about it, you will watch it from time to time, but you will not have too much nostalgia. β
"To abandon it is not to abandon it, nor to abandon it, and to seize it is not to grasp it, nor to not grasp it." Li Congjing smiled, "The wind passes through the sparse bamboo, the geese cross the cold pool, and when things come, they should respond, and if they pass, they will rest." In his position, he seeks his government, and if he lives in this life, he is in this life. β
Tao Xiaoyao did not snuggle in Li Congjing's arms, and Li Congjing did not hold Tao Yaoyao's hand.
Li Congjing held Tao Yaoyao's hand, and Tao Yaoyao also snuggled in Li Congjing's arms.
To exist is to exist.
To exist is to meaning.
There is no point in existing.
To exist is to exist.
It doesn't matter if there is a point or not.
A breeze blows through the garden, flowers bloom and flowers fall.
