After the court dispersed, Empress Dowager He asked me to accompany her for a walk in the garden. Unfortunately, there was a sudden rumbling in the sky, and it was going to rain. She couldn't help but sigh slightly and said, "It's only been sunny for a few days, and it's going to rain again, which is really a bit disappointing." ”

Since more than two months ago, I have not come to the capital with Dong Zhuo, and it has been raining intermittently. It just so happened that we stopped for a while when we came here a few days ago, but today it's suddenly going to go down again.

Seeing that I couldn't do it, I said, "Since it's going to rain, go back to the dormitory, and I'll play chess with you." ”

"Hmm." She nodded.

At this moment, Liu Wei suddenly chased after him from behind and shouted, "Queen Mother, wait for the emperor!" ”

When she heard Liu Wei shouting to herself, she couldn't help but turn around. When Liu Wei came to her, she said, "It's going to rain, why hasn't the emperor gone back to the palace?" ”

Liu Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor wants to eat with you for lunch today, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

She couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, the emperor, why do you suddenly want to come to the queen mother for dinner?" ”

Liu Wei couldn't help scratching his head and said, "It's all to blame on Min Gong, the breakfast he made last time was so delicious that I couldn't get used to eating the food of the Shang Chef for the past two days." ”

She couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't be rude to Min Changshi." ”

Now I have been promoted from Langzhong to a permanent attendant, specially for the Empress Dowager He to send closely. Speaking of the position of permanent attendant, it was still held by scholars in the Western Han Dynasty, but after arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to a eunuch, and now it has been temporarily changed back.

"Oh." Liu replied.

At this time, I couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty wants to eat the food cooked by your subordinates, it's not impossible, but there is a condition, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to accept it?" ”

"Are there any conditions?" Liu Wei couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, you can tell me about it." ”

I said, "Your Majesty's condition is that Your Majesty will eat whatever Your Majesty does, I don't know if Your Majesty can accept it?" ”

Actually, I know that as an emperor, he is good at pomp, and there are a lot of dishes on the table at every meal, no matter how much he can eat, it is fixed so much. I'm a frugal person, so I suddenly said that.

Liu Wei suddenly laughed and said, "That's it?" Okay, I listen to you, I will eat whatever you do; By the way, I will call my brother to eat with me when I go back, and if I don't bring him with me if I have delicious food, I am afraid that he will complain about me again. ”

Empress Dowager He smiled and said, "How could Xie'er be so stingy; Okay, the emperor, let's go play with my brother, and come to the queen mother's palace when it's time for lunch. ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Okay, then the emperor will go to play." ”

As he spoke, the little emperor ran off to play, followed by a large group of maids.

Looking at his departing back, she couldn't help but sigh and shook her head and said, "Bian'er is so old, and he still only knows how to have fun, which is indeed inferior to his enterprising younger brother." ”

I said, "King Chen Liu's mind was opened earlier than that of the young emperor, so he seems to be more diligent; Originally, he was just a child, and it was normal to be playful. ”

She said: "If he were an ordinary child, it would be fine, but he is an emperor, and this burden is too heavy for him; Speaking of which, this is also to blame the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family's previous ghosts, why would it hurt him. ”

I said, "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great; Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, let's take it one step at a time. ”

"Hmm." She nodded. Xuan even got into the chariot and returned to the dormitory.

Subsequently, the Ye Neisi came to pay a visit and said: "Empress Dowager He, the palace man named Ren Hongchang that you instructed the maid to find, the slave has been found out from the roster, she is the sable chan who is in charge of Shang Guanjian; However, due to the chaos in the palace a few days ago, her whereabouts are now unknown, so she must have fled outside the palace and has not returned. ”

At this time, this "prickly boss" who was arrogant in front of others no longer had the momentum of showing off his might, and the whole person knelt on the ground and looked very respectful. In other words, her amiable appearance is so pleasing to the eye that it is more pleasing to the eye, but it would be better if this kind of kneeling ceremony could be avoided.

In fact, it does not mean that people with a bad temper are necessarily bad, the key depends on the timing of the tantrum. You can't always catch a little thing that doesn't please the eye and just bang at it, then it will seem a little unreasonable.

Empress Dowager He nodded and said, "Well, the mourning family knows, you can step down." ”

"No." Ye Xun bowed for a moment, and then retreated.

The rain began to fall in a dripping manner, and it fell a little heavily, as if God was crying, but I don't know why I was crying so sadly. The swallows under the beams of the corridor outside the door chirped from time to time, which seemed to be a little out of place with the sad atmosphere.

"Alas, the mourning family has lost again." She couldn't help but sigh faintly.

I looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you, you have been looking so sentimental since the morning, do you remember something unhappy?" ”

She shook her head, but said, "The mourning family suddenly wondered if she was too selfish; If the plan is implemented, what will Bian'er think, I am afraid that he will hate me as a mother. ”

I couldn't help but groan to myself, "Perhaps, but this is the process he was destined to go through; In fact, life in the world does not necessarily have to establish any immortal fame, whether it is an emperor or a commoner, they all have their own responsibilities, and no one is happier than the other; No matter what profession you do, as long as you are happy and satisfied, you are happy; As long as existence produces value, life will also have meaning; Not letting him be the emperor is a kind of mercy to him. ”

She looked at me and couldn't help but smile and said, "What you sages say is always so difficult to understand; However, the mourners believe that what you said is right. ”

I couldn't help but smile and shake my head and said, "Actually, there are no 'sages' in this world; Those who are called "sages" are nothing more advanced in thought, broad-minded, and knowledgeable than ordinary people; Anyone in the world can become a "sage" if they want to. ”

"Oh?" When she heard this, she couldn't help but ask with interest: "Then do you think the mourning family can become a sage?" ”

I smiled and said, "Of course, there is a saying in Buddhism called "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground", which is the same as what Confucius said, "Knowing the past can improve the great way"; Although you have done many bad things before, as long as from this moment on, you sincerely want to be a person who goes on the path of sages, you will definitely be able to succeed. ”

She couldn't help but look moved, and asked, "What is the mourning family going to do?" ”

I smiled and asked, "Do you know what kind of people are called "good people" and what kind of people are called "bad people"? ”

She couldn't help but think for a moment, but said, "Those who do good are good, and those who do evil are bad." ”

I smiled and nodded, "Smart; But do you know what kind of things are called "good works" and what kinds of things are called "evil things"? ”

She thought about it again, and then said: "Helping the poor and helping the world is a good deed; Harming nature and reason, and moral corruption, is evil. ”

I shook my head and said, "No. ”

"Isn't that right? Why? She couldn't help but ask.

I replied, "What you are talking about is only what people think is good and evil in the eyes of people, not what is really good and evil in morality. ”

She shook her head and said, "When you say that, the mourning family is a little confused. ”

I smiled and said, "Sometimes you understand when you are confused, and sometimes you are confused when you understand; It doesn't matter if you're confused or you get it, the truth is the same. ”

"Ugh." She couldn't help but sigh and said, "I really don't understand what you said, it seems that it is impossible for the mourning family to become a sage." ”

I couldn't help but smile and say, "Hey, I deliberately teased you; To understand is to understand, to be confused is to be confused, and to understand is to be confused? These are just words to distort people. ”

"Hmm." She couldn't help but look at me helplessly, and said, "Can't you just tell the mourning family what to do?" ”

I said, "Actually, the reason is very simple, as long as you don't do things that hurt others, then you are a good person." ”

She couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then said: "In this way, if the mourning family accidentally does something to hurt others, isn't it a bad person?" ”

I said, "In theory, it seems, but in practice it depends; If the person you hurt is a bad person, then you are still a good person. Of course, if you treat a bad person well, you will also become a bad person. ”

She couldn't help but say, "You mean that people should treat good with good, and stop evil with evil?" ”

I said, "That's pretty much it, the so-called "reward the good and punish the evil, and then you can make meritorious deeds"; But it is important to remember that rewards and punishments require a system that is equally effective in dealing with others and in oneself in order to be justified. ”

She couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, the mourning family seems to have a little understanding. ”

I couldn't help but smile and say, "Yes, yes, you can teach." ”

She gave me a blank look and said, "I hate it." ”

said that she is also a perceptive person, as long as she gives her a little guidance, she will immediately understand the connotation. However, she then asked another question, which surprised me a little.
