Lu Min is not stupid, he expected that there might be such a play, so he nodded calmly and agreed: "Fujun is very knowledgeable, presumably your friends are the same, you can ask him for a lesson or two, learn from each other, Min Zhi is lucky." ”

Gong Shafu nodded with satisfaction, and gave the little boy who was standing aside a look. The boy answered and walked into the back hall, and after a short time, a sound of footsteps came from inside. As Liu Xiu expected, the middle-aged man known as Zhang Envoy and the woman in green appeared in the hall, sat down on the seat that Xiao Tong had taken, politely saluted Lu Min and others, and reported his name: "Zhongshan Zhang Ming, Zi Yuansheng, ask Lu Jun how well." ”

Lu Min returned the salute: "Look up for a long time, disrespect and disrespect." ”

Zhang Ming put his hands on his thighs, his waist was straight, his eyes were blazing, he looked at Lu Min with bright eyes, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lu Jun was passing through Fuyang, Ming was overjoyed, not presumptuous, I have a few questions I want to ask Lu Jun, and I also ask Lu Min to be enlightened." ”

"Don't dare, just learn from each other."

"Dare to ask Lu Jun, Zi Gongyun: 'Zi Han Yanli and life and benevolence', how to read it?"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Bei and the others, they were also a little stunned, I thought that the people who Gong Shafu so solemnly recommended were of course going to discuss some advanced knowledge, but I never expected to ask a question in the "Analects", although the "Analects" is also one of the Confucian classics, but after all, it is relatively simple, equivalent to enlightenment reading, is it a little too pediatric to discuss on this occasion?

Lu Min did not take it lightly, and said calmly: "When it is decided, it is said that 'Zihan is good, and life is benevolent'." ”

The corners of Zhang Ming's mouth twitched, "Why?" ”

As soon as Liu Xiu heard Lu Min's answer, he immediately fell in love. Because whether it is a few sentences of "Analects" that he read in his previous life or the bamboo slips brought by Liu Bei in this life, they are all judged to be "Zihan said that profit and life, and benevolence", which means that Confucius rarely said profit and life, but only said benevolence. This is very easy to understand, the gentleman is righteous, the villain is profitable, Confucius is the gentleman of the gentleman, of course, he will not always talk about profit. As for fate, the most important point of Confucianism is that it is impossible to do it, and it does not talk much about the phrase fate, but benevolence is the ideal that Confucius has been committed to promoting, and it is also the most said, and benevolence is discussed everywhere in the Analects.

However, Lu Min's sentence is different from what everyone thinks, according to him, the master often says fate. As soon as he said this, not only Zhang Ming immediately asked why, but even Liu Xiu and the others pricked up their ears. Liu Xiu often asked Lu Min for teaching questions during this time, but those were all the knowledge in the "Book of Shang", who would ask such a simple question.

As it turns out, there are many things that seem simple, but you don't necessarily really understand them.

"Yes, in the book "Analects", there are only six or seven words of benevolence and less words of profit and fate, and there are only six or seven people who speak of profit, and those who speak of life are also quite equal, it seems that the master rarely talks about life, just as he rarely mentions profit, but in fact this is a misunderstanding that does not seek to be solved. The Master seldom talks about profit, because the Master values righteousness over profit, but the Master does not often talk about life, but it is not that he does not value the Mandate of Heaven, but that he thinks that the Mandate of Heaven is far-reaching and very accessible. Therefore, Zigong said, the words of the master and the surname of heaven cannot be obtained and heard. Instead of the Master not speaking, the people are puzzled when they hear it, and they are confused. The master is cloudy, and he knows the destiny of heaven at fifty, which shows that the destiny of heaven is difficult to know......"

Lu Min talked about the Mandate of Heaven unhurriedly, several people in the hall were better, and more than a dozen people in the hall pricked up their ears, even if they didn't read much, they didn't dare to take it lightly. In fact, most of the Han people still believe in the Mandate of Heaven, since the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu ascended the throne with a proverb of "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven", the Confucianism has become the authentic Confucianism, whether the interpretation of the prophecy is also one of the criteria for evaluating whether a person's knowledge is high or not, because the Prophet Wei represents the Mandate of Heaven. Of course, because of the vague surname of Wei Wei, the same sentence of Wei Wei may have different interpretations for different people, including the sentence "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven", including the Wei Wei, who was not thinking that he was talking about him at the beginning, but Liu Xiu, the national teacher of the new dynasty at that time.

Emperor Guangwu won the world with his wisdom, and of course he respected it to the fullest, not only as an official school, but also not allowed to be denied. On this issue, Emperor Guangwu, who has always been known for his tolerance and generosity, is not so tolerant, and in front of him, he may not lose his head when he says that Wei Wei is superstitious, but there is no need to doubt that he will lose his office. Huan Tan, who is a Confucian heirloom, almost gave up his life because of his opposition to Yu Wei, although Liu Xiu spared his life, but still demoted him out of Luoyang, and finally killed Huan Tan alive.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. Xie Weiwei and said that the destiny of heaven is a very popular profession in Dahan.

Therefore, when they heard Lu Min say the Mandate of Heaven, no matter how much they knew, everyone was full of interest, although what Lu Min said about the Mandate of Heaven was not completely consistent with the prevailing prophecy, they still listened to it with relish.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, this is really a bit boring, but as long as you think about the 21st century when science is prosperous, there are so many astrologers and computer fortune tellers, you can understand that people in these years believe that fate is not ridiculous. However, he felt that Zhang Ming, one of the eight disciples of Master Zhang of Taiping Dao, and Lu Min were talking about the Mandate of Heaven, and the purpose was probably not so simple, and this should be just an introduction.

As he expected, Zhang Ming followed Lu Min's words and quickly led the question from believing in the mandate of heaven to believing in the gods in the world or not. As soon as this issue was mentioned, Lu Min, who did not deny the existence of the Mandate of Heaven, denied it: he did not believe that there were immortals in the world.

Zhang Ming showed a calm smile and asked rhetorically: "Lu Jun doesn't believe that there are immortals in the world, is it because he has never seen immortals, or does he refuse to admit that there are immortals?" ”

Lu Min sank his face and said word by word: "Zi Jue Four: No meaning, no need, no solidity, no me." ”

Zhang Ming nodded, and said admiringly: "Lu Jun really has the style of a gentleman, it seems that he doesn't believe in immortals, but he has never seen immortals." Ming Bucai, a little bit of art, dare to be ugly, want to ask Lu Jun to take a look, how about it? ”

Lu Min was silent for a long time and did not speak. He said that the meaning of that sentence seemed to be saying that he was not a stubborn person, but in fact, it was more of a sarcasm Zhang Ming not to be whimsical, but he didn't expect Zhang Ming to ask God to show him. He had heard of such a thing as asking God, whether it was in the history books or in reality, such things were not uncommon. However, most of the people who played with these magic tricks in the book ended up with no good end, and the most obvious example is those monks during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whether it was Luan Da or Li Shaoweng, they all died miserably in the end.

Of course, Lu Min wanted to expose Zhang Ming's trick in person, but he was a little worried, Zhang Ming obviously came prepared, could he really see through it? In case of...... If you really ask a god, how will it end, do you believe it or not?

Lu Min hesitated, and the others became excited. That day, I heard a long howl on the top of the mountain, and learned from Mao Yan that the person was the Taiping Dao Immortal taught in Youzhou, and these young people had long wanted to see the fairy face. Seeing Zhang Ming's true face today, they were still not satisfied, and they wanted to see this immortal's Taoism with their own eyes, but they were worried that people would not dare to show their skills easily. Now that he himself has proposed to show his hand, there is no reason not to look at it.

"Sir, sir......" Zhang Fei stabbed Liu Xiu with squeezing his eyebrows, motioning for him to persuade Lu Min.

"Deran, Deran......" Li Cheng couldn't help but shout, his neck was about to break.

Although Liu He didn't say anything, his eyes betrayed him, and he obviously wanted to see it very much, but for the sake of face, he couldn't be as impatient as those kids.

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and didn't move, and said in his heart, you are in a hurry, looking at today's posture, you can't do it if you want to see it or not.
