Chapter 310: Undercurrent (36)

"Dare to ask Shousuke-sama, if you ask Shousuke-sama now, what is 'Dao', how does Shousuke-sama understand this 'Dao'?" He Tengxiao asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are many interpretations of the so-called Tao, and if you want to make all of them, I am afraid that you will not be able to finish talking about them for three days and three nights. He Tengxiao asked Xu Hongqian directly, according to the most intuitive understanding, how does Xu Hongqian understand this so-called 'Tao'?

"Taoist, the road also." Xu Hongqian's fingers were still wandering on his gray beard, and Xu Hongqian said his most superficial opinion, the so-called Tao is the road. Any kind of Tao is just a way, a way, this is Xu Hongqian's current understanding.

Isn't the road a road, and sometimes a road?

"Lord Shoufu has already understood the meaning of the word 'Dao', so why ask now, if Lord Shoufu does not understand the meaning, I am afraid that Lord Shoufu will not be able to write this ever-changing word 'Dao'." He Tengxiao looked at Xu Hongqian and said with the word 'Dao' floating on his face.

"I don't understand it very thoroughly." Xu Hongqian said frankly.

"If it is understood thoroughly, then the so-called Tao is not the Tao, everyone can understand the Tao thoroughly, then what is the meaning of the Tao?" He Tengxiao said with a smile.

"There are thousands of Taos, and the old man has already said that the old man is the way, you can also talk about your Tao." Xu Hongqian asked, the so-called Tao varies from person to person, people are different, and there are naturally thousands of kinds of Tao derived, Xu Hongqian wants to know, in He Tengxiao's understanding, what is the so-called Tao.

He Tengxiao fell into deep thought, He Tengxiao lowered his head and thought, after thinking for a while, He Tengxiao still did not have exactly the same, He Tengxiao felt like he was caught in the clouds, very confused, this question is too grandiose, too ethereal. It's not something that can be done in a short period of time.

"The Tao is the road, and the most critical part of the word Tao lies in its first, according to Teng Xiao's superficial understanding, the Tao is the first thing you should do." He Tengxiao said that he is not a philosopher or a writer, and the ink in his stomach is really limited.

"Literally, although your explanation is not profound, it is also fresh." Xu Hongqian said leisurely, "Then do you know what the way of the literati and the way of the martial arts are?" ”

Xu Hongqian is a literati, He Tengxiao is a martial artist, and it looks a little strange for the two of them to talk about literati and martial arts together.

He Tengxiao smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, Wen can be Anbang, Wu can set the country, the way of civil and military is the same way, all of them are Anbang and the country." ”

Xu Hongqian rarely showed an appreciative smile, He Tengxiao said so much, only this sentence is the most level.

"This sentence is good, and the country is stable." Xu Hongqian said, "The old man became famous because of these four words. ”

He Tengxiao couldn't help but say with disdain in his heart, I'm afraid it's not only for the sake of stability and stability, but also for wealth and power, and for your Xu Hongqian's personal glory and wealth. Xu Hongqian's ideal is so simple, only when he says it will he believe it.

Although He Tengxiao is frank, He Tengxiao also knows what to say, what to say, what not to say, He Tengxiao is still measured.

"Although you and I are from different backgrounds, I am civil and martial, but as you said, our ultimate goal is to dredge up the same return, we are all the same, and we are all for the sake of peace and stability in the country and peace in the world." Xu Hongqian began to persuade He Tengxiao, yes, Xu Hongqian's original intention was to stabilize the country, but what Xu Hongqian has done over the years is not all for the sake of stability and stability.

Xu Hongqian was blinded by unbridled party strife, although he said that it was all for the sake of Da Zhao, sometimes Xu Hongqian's radical approach was contrary to his original intention, forcing the country to a dead end.

It's just that Xu Hongqian himself didn't mean the serious consequences of his doing, and within the Qin Party, there are probably only a few Qin Party officials who are aware of this serious consequences, Peng Chaodong, Su Ke, and Liang Bangjie. In addition to this, the rest of the Qin party officials were still immersed in the chaotic party struggle to eliminate dissent.

This time, the Liao army broke through the border and entered the pass, and the troops came to the city of Beijing, which did not make these Qin party officials sober up. Qin party officials only saw the superficial phenomenon, and only thought that it was only Peng Chaodong's mistake that the Liao army was able to break through the border and enter the customs, and few people could realize that the Liao army was able to enter the customs, and the disaster had already been planted a year ago.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, Liaodong was defeated, and after the Manshu people officially entered Liaodong, they laid the root of today's Liao army's entry into the Central Plains. Today's Liao army's siege of the Beijing Division, the source of which can be traced back to the defeat of Gao Guang in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the party struggle between the two parties of Qin and Zhejiang has consumed the national strength of Da Zhao.

"Do you want to achieve your revenge, or do you want to move to a higher position?" Xu Hongqian, the old fox, finally couldn't hold it anymore after being reserved for a long time, and showed his hole cards, "The world says that martial artists have no future, but the old man doesn't see it at all." At the beginning of the country, when Emperor Taizong fought the country, it can be said that the stars were shining, and the number of military generals at that time, the number of marquis and princes was not less than that of the literati, right, if the old man is not mistaken, you and your family were also canonized at that time, right? ”

He Tengxiao sat there drinking and listened to Xu Hongqian, and the wine Xu Hongqian drank was naturally the best in the wine. There is no reason why He Tengxiao should not drink such a good wine in vain. If I don't drink it now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to drink it.

"But it's been too long." Xu Hongqian took a sip of wine, his face was a little ruddy, and he continued to gush, "Let's not talk about the far, let's just say that it is close, Shang Chuanren can be regarded as close, right?" Shang Chuanren is also a martial artist, but his achievements are comparable to several literati, and among the so many literati that the old man has seen, he can compete with Shang Chuanren, and I am afraid that only Peng Guoliang is the only one. ”

"What does Shousuke-sama mean?" He Tengxiao looked at Xu Hongqian, who was slightly drunk.

With the intention of drinking, Xu Hongqian spoke more directly: "Join my Qin Party, can Yun Qi be interested?" ”

The Qin Party is the dominant party today, at least the Qin Party still has the right to speak in the DPRK and China, and Xu Hongqian is the leader of the Qin Party and the head of the Qin Party. personally persuaded He Tengxiao to join the Qin Party, which was already enough to give He Tengxiao face. If it was someone else, at this time, I couldn't wait to join the Qin Party immediately, show loyalty to Xu Hongqian, and prove that my heart is for the Qin Party.

He Tengxiao does not have this feeling, and the current situation of the Qin Party is not optimistic. The Liao army's entry into the border had a great negative impact on the Qin party, and divisions had already arisen within the Qin party. And after experiencing such a big thing, whether Song Yuren can continue to trust the Qin Party is also a big question.

On the other hand, the Zhejiang Party has a stronger force than the Qin Party. Many of the old-school officials who supported the Qin Party are already dying, including Xu Hongqian himself, and no younger generation of Qin Party officials have come forward to support the Qin Party, and the ultimate fate of the Qin Party is self-evident.

What Xu Hongqian is doing now is probably the last crazy move of the Qin Party, right?

And in the future, if the Qin Party is really weakened, the Zhejiang Party will take advantage of the situation. The Qin Party has suppressed the Zhejiang Party for so many years, which of the officials of the Zhejiang Party and the West is not holding a breath of resentment in their hearts, and who doesn't want to report this grievance?

If such a day comes, the liquidation of the Qin Party by the Zhejiang Party is indispensable. And how many people will fall victim to this political game?

The political struggle in the court is a battlefield without gunpowder. The absence of gunpowder smoke does not mean that it is not cruel, in fact, political struggle without gunpowder smoke is far more cruel than a bloody battlefield with gunpowder smoke.

Those officials in the court who are full of morality and demeanor are inferior to those who attack political opponents, and they don't have to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

He Tengxiao, who was involved in the struggle within the He clan in Liaodong, has been dizzy by the power struggle of his own clan, and he will no longer be bored to join the Qin Party and be involved in the disputes between the Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party.

Moreover, He Tengxiao's joining the Qin Party does not mean that he only personally joined the Qin Party, after He Tengxiao joined the Qin Party, all the forces related to He Tengxiao, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Tengbao Battalion, and even the He clan standing behind He Tengxiao. The fate of these people will be firmly tied to the Qin Party, and they will be both prosperous and loss-oriented.

He Tengxiao would not be so irresponsible to joke about the future of those thousands of people. Moreover, to dig deeper, this matter is not something that he He Tengxiao can call the shots alone.

He Tengxiao represents the He family, but He Tengxiao does not have the right to speak on behalf of the He family, and the right to speak of the He family is still in the hands of the head of the He family: He Fangxiong. Whether He Zujia joins the Qin Party or not is not what He Tengxiao said, but what He Fangxiong said. The power within the He clan is only decided by He Fangxiong, and others are also qualified to make this decision.

Even if He Tengxiao is now hard-headed and cheekily agrees to Xu Hongqian to join the Qin Party. So what? The most Xu Hongqian can do is to say something for him in front of Song Yuren. And that's all.

And He Tengxiao's foundation is in Liaodong. He Tengxiao will eventually return to Liaodong, after He Tengxiao returns to Liaodong after joining the Qin Party, what will the He family think of him?

In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the country, the four major families of Liaodong have not asked about the affairs of the Central Plains, and have lived their own lives in Liaodong and lived their own life as a snake, except for the short-sightedness of the heads of the four major families in Liaodong. Another very important reason is that the four major families of Liaodong do not want to be involved in the party struggle in the center.

The four major families in Liaodong all have the attitude of hiding as far as they can, and they don't want to get involved in party strife. The terrible power of party struggle has been seen once by the four great families of Liaodong in the early Taizong period, and it is still fresh in my memory. Naturally, the scar will not heal and forget the pain, if He Tengxiao rashly agrees now, Lu Zongcheng announced that he would join the Qin Party and become a member of the Qin Party.

This also announced to the outside world that the He family among the four great families in Liaodong not only broke the situation of the four great families in Liaodong for nearly three hundred years but only asked about the Central Plains, but also led the army into the King of Guanqin.

It also announced that the He people not only participated in King Qin and got involved in the Central Plains, but also joined the Qin Party and were involved in the partisan struggle in the Central Plains.

If this is the case, He Tengxiao has completely violated all the taboos of the four major families in Liaodong, including the bottom line of the He family. If so, after He Tengxiao returns to the He clan, how will the people in the He group view He Tengxiao. For a long time, isn't everything He Tengxiao's hard work all useless?

He Tengxiao is not stupid to this extent.

"The Qin Party is the party that has the right to speak in the court today, to be honest, if Yun Qi wants to achieve your revenge, joining the Qin Party can bring you a lot of convenience." Xu Hongqian still chattered, "It's much better than if no one in the court you are talking to you now, your deeds, your merits The old man has heard about it, you are a very accomplished descendant, so many years, the old man has not seen which descendant is more capable than you, in the heart of cherishing talents, the old man does not want you to bury this piece of jade, become an ordinary stone, the old man thought, since there is hope to become a high-profile jade, you definitely don't want to be an ordinary stone, right?" Do you know why you have made such a great contribution and are still in this position as a battalion general? ”

He Tengxiao's promotion speed is already very fast, but Xu Hongqian said this, which shows that in Xu Hongqian's opinion, He Tengxiao's promotion speed is not fast, but still very slow.

He Teng looked at Xu Hongqian in puzzlement, only to see that Xu Hongqian became more and more excited the more he spoke, and the whole person seemed to tremble.

"It's because you don't have anyone in the court!" Xu Hongqian tried to further stimulate He Tengxiao, according to the news that Xu Hongqian knew, He Tengxiao and the Huang family had a lot of festivals, Xu Hongqian hoped to use He Tengxiao and the Huang family's festival as a breakthrough to further stimulate He Tengxiao, "Do you know why the Huang family can calm things down every time something happens?" Do you know why the Huang family was in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, and all the soldiers of the Huang family became deserters, but the Huang family had nothing? ”

He Tengxiao didn't speak, and now he doesn't have the right to speak, all He Tengxiao can do now is listen to Xu Hongqian. Now Xu Hongqian is the protagonist in the Mirror Lake Pavilion, and everyone else is just a foil.

The beautiful maid in the Mirror Lake Pavilion seems to be very patient and seems to be very determined. Facing Xu Hongqian's excited attitude in the Jinghu Pavilion, Meiwen behaved very plainly, just sitting quietly about what he had to do, cooking wine, and then pouring wine. It seems that apart from the boring cooking and pouring of wine, everything else that happens in the Mirror Lake Pavilion has nothing to do with her.

He Tengxiao admired this beautiful woman's concentration very much, He Tengxiao was thinking, he He Tengxiao's concentration might not be as good as this maid.

The maidservant was doing what she was supposed to do, and He Tengxiao thought wildly. The more Xu Hongqian spoke, the more angry he became, and He Tengxiao secretly sighed, if Xu Hongqian was placed in the time and space where he used to live, even if he couldn't be the first assistant, it would not be difficult to be an outstanding actor.

"The court didn't move the Huang family, not because the Huang family is the head snake in Liaodong, the court didn't dare to touch his Huang family, if the court really compares with the truth, the Huang family won't end well last year. The Huang family did not have to bear any responsibility after the fiasco in Liaodong, in the final analysis, it was not that the imperial court did not dare to touch the Huang family, but that there were people in the Huang family. Lu Zongcheng said, "This is also the reason why the Huang family has been able to suppress your He family, is it true that you still have the He family who are really willing to be pressed by the Huang family so much?" Hold it down and never be able to lift your head? (To be continued.) )
