Han Taozi has been studying with Lan Qi for several years, and Lan Qi has also given her some of herself, hoping that Han Taozi can work hard with him for his ambitions.

It's just that a few years have passed, and Han Taozi has learned everything about Lan Qi, but she still hasn't found the answer in her heart, so she can only say goodbye to Lan Qi and continue to embark on the road of exploration.

It is impossible to get along without feelings for a few years, Lan Qi is also very good to her, and Han Taozi's heart is also reluctant. But when she left her father, Han You, she had already made up her mind that she must find true knowledge and bring it back to tell her father.

Glancing back at Heluo City, Han Taozi held back that little sadness and walked along the main road towards Jiangnan Fuwu City.

Han Taozi had customs clearance paperwork on her, and the Iron Blood Army did not have any embarrassment for her. Jiangnan has also been very stable in recent years, and there have been no thieves along the way. In short, this time on this trip, Han Taozi didn't have to dodge like she did at the beginning, and it was a lot easier to travel all the way.

A month later, Han Taozi's figure appeared under Fuwu City, although it was hard to travel all the way, but when he saw that the destination was in front of him, Han Taozi's eyes also revealed excitement.

Now the peaches, the smart eyes have become deeper, and a clear spring water has flowed into the sea, and it has become as unfathomable as the sea; A smile on the face, a little less lively and lovely innocence, more confidence and calm.

At a glance, it seems that she is still a girl who is a little impulsive and has a little aura; But that little impulse turned into persistent belief, and a little bit of agility was hidden in my heart, but from time to time a little trace of the past flashed from my eyes. Maybe a few years of learning the art of power and scheming have already given her a city in her heart.

Han Taozi walked on the streets of Fu Wu City, inquiring about the location of the Governor's Palace. Along the way, there was an endless stream of pedestrians, and there were often heartfelt smiles in the chat, and it could be seen that under the governance of Fan Yuyi, people in Fuwu City lived a very good life.

Han Taozi saw the novelty on both sides of the road, although it was not like before, she wanted to buy it when she saw it, and then play all day long, but that kind of interest was also displayed on her face at a glance.

"Have you heard? The Governor is going to give a lecture at the Academy, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can listen to one or two teachings and learn something, maybe we will be able to hold a high position in the future and no longer worry about life. A voice reached Han Taozi's ears.

"What can you learn in just one class? But if I can meet with the Governor and let the Governor remember that I am such a person, maybe one day I will be able to soar to prominence. The other replied.

"Then we're going to have to get a place at the front. If you stand in the back, you won't hear or say anything, and you won't even see the Governor's face, and everything will be in vain. ”

Han Taozi looked in the direction where the voice came, and it turned out that several people who looked like they were reading were hurriedly running in one direction.

"Is Fan Jiyi lecturing? Let's go and see what I can learn, and if what he says doesn't help me in any way, I won't have to bother visiting. Han Taozi thought about it a little in his heart, and walked over with the scholars.

The academy was already crowded with people, and in addition to some scholars, there were even some peddlers and pawns surrounding the perimeter. Han Taozi looked into the academy and saw several rows of tables and chairs placed in the most central position, with some thirst-quenching fruits and herbal tea on the tables, and several pairs of soldiers surrounded those rows of tables and chairs, preventing people outside from stepping in.

"The fact that Fan Jiyi's lectures can attract so many civilians shows that his control over learning and righteousness has reached a very high level. In simple terms, with the most plain words, and the most intimate truth, so that so many people who don't know a big word can wait in the scorching heat. It seems that I have found the right person this time. Han Taozi was very happy in her heart, and she wanted to listen to Fan Yuyi's lecture.

Han Taozi looked around and saw that there was a big tree next to the academy, so he bypassed the crowd, went up to the tree in three times and two times, and waited in the shade for the lecture to begin.

In a short time, many dignitaries and dignitaries dressed in luxurious costumes had already filled the seats in the middle, and Fan Yuyi was also escorted by some guards into the academy and came to the middle podium.

Han Taozi sat quietly on the tree and listened, as if she had returned to the days when she sat next to the class and listened to Han You's lectures. The content of Fan's lectures is very simple, not difficult at all, nothing more than some clichés, to have a heart of benevolence, to respect the elders and teachers, and then some other words to persuade people to do good. These words are no different from what Han He said at the beginning.

"Can just talking about righteousness really make everyone fall in love with the world? If the person who gave the lecture was not the governor of Jiangnan, but just an ordinary teacher, would there still be so many people gathered together and listened with pleasure and convincingness? The master is right, people in the world are still greedy for power, and only by using power can they be edified. Han Taozi listened to Fan Yuyi's lecture, but recalled Han He's original teachings, a little missing, a little unwilling, intertwined, making Han Taozi feel a little depressed.

"Who's in the tree, come down quickly, it's not an assassin." A voice dragged Han Taozi out of her thoughts, and Han Taozi's body was unstable and she almost fell off the tree.

It turned out that just when Han Taozi was in thought, a lecture had ended, and Fan Yuyi was under the protection of the guards, preparing to go back to the governor's mansion. The guard saw Han Taozi on the tree and said loudly.

"It's just a person who wants to learn, so why treat him so viciously? As long as you listen to my reasoning and can be dedicated to goodness, everything is good. Seeing that the guards were about to step forward to capture Han Taozi, Fan Kuyi stopped him repeatedly.

"I'm not an assassin, I'm from Heluo City, just to ask Mr. Fan for teaching, this is a letter of introduction written to me by my tutor." Han Taozi got off the tree and hurriedly explained.

Fan Yuyi looked at the letter handed over by the guards, looked up and said to Han Taozi: "Our Jiangnan Governor's Mansion and Anyun's Iron Blood Army have the friendship of the same clan, and if An Yun's friends come, I will naturally receive them well, but why don't you go to the Governor's Mansion to report, but hide in this tree and wait for me?" ”

"I wanted to visit the adults directly, but when I heard that the adults were lecturing here, I came to listen to the lectures, and I was on the tree for a while. I thought that it must have been a great wisdom to attract so many peddlers and pawns to give lectures. But after listening to Yixi's words, he found that what the adults were talking about was just empty righteousness. I can't help but think, if the lecture was not given by the governor of Jiangnan, but just a cloth cloth, would there still be such a grand occasion? If you leave power, is it true that no one cares about learning? Isn't that too pitiful? Han Taozi said what was in her heart.

"Presumptuous! The Governor is speaking of profound truths, how dare you judge a little woman? If you dare to be rude, I will drive you out of Fuwu City. One of the guards scolded.

"Don't be rude, this girl didn't say anything wrong. What I just talked about in class is really just some righteousness, and compared with true wisdom, it is still much worse. It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I'm worried that those words will be too sensational and not understood by outsiders. Fan said with a sigh.

"So adults also have real wisdom in their hearts, and I thought that the level of adults was like this, and I planned to leave like this?" Han Taozi said without hesitation.

"You girl is so rude, but you are not wrong, with those empty righteousness, it is really difficult to attract truly wise people. This is not the place to talk, so please come back to the house with me. Fan said with a smile.

"To be able to get true knowledge, I will not give up all kinds of dangers. I only hope that Mr. Fan can teach me, and I sincerely come to ask for advice. Han Taozi said.

"You call me Mr. Fan? Haha, since I became the governor of Jiangnan, no one calls me Mr. anymore, and now I hear this title, which is also very kind. I will tell you everything I know, but whether I can talk about it to the end depends on fate. Fan Yuyi said, and asked Han Taozi to get in the car and talk.

"It seems that the masters all have a city, and if they can't get the door to enter, they can't get the guidance of the masters at all. At the beginning, my teacher Lan Qi also considered me many times before passing on his knowledge to me. I just hope that I can pass Mr. Fan's test. Han Taozi was not at all restrained, and immediately followed Fan Yuyi into the carriage, sat down and said.

"It's not that I don't want to say it. It's that I'm in a high position right now, and a lot of people are looking at me, and I really can't talk nonsense. Some truths that everyone agrees on can naturally be said in public; But for some truths that are not recognized by most people, they can only be done through actions, and only after everyone has seen the effect will they really accept it. If you are limited in your ability to accept it, I can only talk about it within the limits of what you can accept. Fan Zhiyi sat down and replied.

"Dare to ask what is the truth that Mr. Fan said? It is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and moral articles; Or is it right and wrong, and power seeks utilitarianism? Han Taozi asked.

"You know a lot, but I only have one thing to learn, and that is: a thief in my heart." Fan said.

"A thief in the heart? Is Mr. Fan referring to human desire? If human desires are left unchecked, the world will be thrown into chaos. But if there is no desire in life, there will be no sustenance, and in addition to falling into the empty door, I am afraid that you can only die in despair. Han Taozi replied.

"When I speak of a thief, I am a desire, but not all desires; It's not just about desires, it's about opinions that are blinded to people's hearts. Fan said.

"Mr. Fan said it very succinctly, I don't understand it. Can you tell me more about the difference? Han Taozi replied.

"Of course there is no problem. It is inevitable that there are seven emotions and six desires in life, and the seven emotions and six desires are originally accompanied by life and death, and if you want to strip the things that go hand in hand with life and death from people, it is just to exterminate human nature. There is a cloud in the mean: 'Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are not in the middle of the statement, and the middle section is the sum of the words' Taoists only see the first sentence, and forget the latter sentence, and regard human desire as a flood beast, which is really wrong to the extreme. Fan said.

"The views of Taoists are really biased, and I think they are wrong. Mr. Fan said that the thief in his heart is desire, but not all desire, but does it refer to those who ignore their relatives and friends, and even the world and the country for their own selfish interests? Han Taozi said.

"Public interest and private interest are inseparable, and the desire to contribute to the public interest while pursuing private interests is reasonable. In order to pursue private interests, he ignores public interests, and this is a thief. In the small people, they will become gangsters; Those who are in power will become corrupt officials; If you are the master of the world, you will become a **** tyrant. Fan said.

"The debate between public and private can distinguish between reasonable desires and irrational desires, and is more than a little bit more clever than that of Taoists. What is Mr. Fan's opinion? Why do opinions become thieves? Han Taozi asked.

"Self-righteousness, when you see a mistake, you will not correct it; Self-righteousness, when they see the truth, they will also throw it aside and ignore it. If you don't distinguish between right and wrong, can't you still be called a thief? Fan replied.

"I see, a leaf obstructs, no Mount Tai. That's what I'm talking about. The thief has appeared, so how can he break it? Is it that if these thieves in their hearts are broken, people will be wholeheartedly good, so that they can truly love the world. Han Taozi asked.

"Easier said than done! It's easier said than done! However, there are ways to break thieves, the first is to educate, and the second is to needle. Through some things that make people feel very comfortable and feel very correct, you can attract people to learn, as long as you embark on the road of studying, change yourself a little bit, and increase your knowledge a little bit, you can naturally be a wise and good person.

"As for the needle, it is to find a way to pierce the hearts of the people of the world and make them understand how terrible what they are doing now. If you don't go down those evil paths, you will naturally take the right path step by step. Fan replied.

"The first option sounds good, but it is a long-term plan, and it will be difficult for several generations to civilize the people. The second method can prevent the world from being evil, but after all, it cannot be accepted calmly, and there is no other way except the power of authority. Is there really no third way other than a long-term plan and a high-minded and cold authority? Han Taozi replied.

"Haha, well spoken, well spoken. I didn't expect that I, Fan Yuyi, finally met someone who understood, and I could finally say what I had hidden in my heart. I have arrived at the Governor's Palace, and I have invited the girl to enter the palace with me, and I will treat the guests as a courtesy. ”

Fan Yuyi listened to Han Taozi's reply, his face was full of excitement, obviously very excited. After getting off the carriage, it was an invitation word, wanting to invite Han Taozi into the house to have a good conversation. (To be continued.) )
