Chapter 4 Open Your Eyes to the World
Guiguzi, this is a magical name, in some film and television works in later generations, it often represents those genius old men who are wise and close to demons.
And in fact, it does represent a demonic side.
The first generation of Guiguzi Wang Xu, called Xuanweizi, a collection of Taoism, soldiers, the founding ancestor of the Zongheng family, is a very mysterious figure in Chinese history, known as a strange person through the ages, long in self-cultivation, good at psychological speculation, well aware of the trend of rigidity and softness, proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, unique wisdom through the sky.
This first-generation Mr. Guigu has been hidden in Yunmeng Mountain all the year round and has not done anything earth-shattering.
And his disciples are more powerful.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi, known as the second generation of disciples of Guigu, the two of them can be said to stir up the world, Qin and the six countries compete for hegemony, and the world is played by them between applause, the name of Guigu has been widely spread in later generations since the two of them, and finally ended the dispute with Zhang Yi's success, and Qin unified the countries.
The third generation of Guigu disciples, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, their deeds needless to say, one is "Sun Bin The Art of War", which has been passed down among the people for centuries; One is a famous general of the Wei State, who was invincible in the siege of the city, and the two fought against each other, ending in Sun Bin's victory.
The legendary stories of Guiguzi's disciples are still talked about by people after a hundred years, as for the fourth generation of registered disciples Mao Sui, Xu Fu, Gan Mao, Sima Cuo, Le Yi, Fan Ju, Cai Ze, Zou Ji, Li Shiqi, Kuaitong, Huang Shi, Li Mu, Wei Gong and other very good characters can not enter the ancestral hall of Guigu, and they are not official Guigu disciples.
After the destruction of Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone.
Legalists, Taoists, Mohists, Yin-Yang Scholars, Famous Scholars, Miscellaneous Families, Farmers, Novelists, and Vertical and Horizontal Scholars are all hidden, as if they have evaporated from the world in an instant, and the largest of them are the Mohists and Yin-Yang Families, and they have escaped into the mountains and never seen the light of day.
The dispute between the sons and hundreds of schools of thought is over here, but many coincidences in the world happen all the time, like a pair of big hands behind the scenes, constantly pushing history forward.
Later generations can only get a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity from the book "Guiguzi": the ghost valley is mysterious, the social verticality and horizontal, the natural geography, and the universe are mysterious; Its talents are all-encompassing, all doors are all-encompassing, the six realms are all-encompassing, and all learning is all-encompassing. The clouds and rain are shocking, and they have made great achievements in the future. Guigu can be called the ancestor of all saints, the ancestor of all saints, and it is never an exaggeration
At this time, Xu Yang held a huge globe in his hand and shook it in front of Li Shimin's eyes.
The white-eyed father-in-law always stared at Xu Yang's every move, once there was a change, Xu Yang never doubted that he could kill himself in an instant, and there was always a feeling of being targeted by a snake and scorpion by this white-eyed father-in-law, and he would sweat for a while.
Li Shimin's somewhat pale hand slowly let go, he knew that if the young man in front of him was really a disciple of Guigu, then all of Guigu's peerless learning would be accepted by him Li Shimin, thinking of this, he was also relaxed, pointing to the globe in Xu Yang's hand and asking, "How big is the world?" Tell me what you have in your hand before I answer you. ”
Xu Yang felt the cold murderous aura around his body slowly fade away, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This thing is called a globe, and your majesty guess what it is." After that, he respectfully handed the globe to the front, and the white-eyed father-in-law came up very consciously to take the globe, checked that there was no danger, and then presented it to Li Er.
Li Er was very curious to take this flowery thing called 'globe', this is a round ball that can be turned, the ball is covered with colorful paint, Li Er glanced at it casually, and suddenly a particularly familiar word appeared in his eyes.
"Datang."
Then, a familiar topographic map appeared in front of his eyes, this is the Tibetans, this is the Turks, this is the Uighurs, this is Goryeo, this is the Wa Kingdom, this is more than 130 countries along the Silk Road, these are so familiar and slow, this huge ball, why is my Tang Dynasty so merely a little? Which country is this called the Arab Empire, how is it bigger than my Tang Dynasty! Where is this South American, and which country is the indigenous people, which I have never heard of?
Li Er was already shocked by the small globe, and his eyes turned intently, like a crazy demon.
The white-eyed father-in-law has been shocked, His Majesty has been confused by this kid who claims to be the heir of the Ghost Valley, and now he has fallen into a frenzy, and he has to catch this kid quickly to prevent him from continuing to confuse His Majesty!
There was wind on the soles of his feet, and before Xu Yang could see what was happening, a figure in a black robe was in front of him, the door was suddenly pushed open, and another figure in a green robe also rushed in.
Before Xu Yang's eyes widened, he felt a strong pain in his arm.
"Ahh ~"The sound of killing pigs resounded in the imperial study, attracting many eunuchs and maidservants to look at His Majesty's imperial study.
On the top of the main hall, Xu Yang drooped his dislocated arm, crying and mourning, and the two fathers-in-law next to him, Xuan and Qing, were still staring at Xu Yang with a wary face, and Li Er took a sip of the glass at this time, laughed, and said: "These guards of the widow are too rude, Baron Xu should not be surprised." ”
Xu Yang's face was almost pulled to the ground, rude, it was just a fucking pen! Without even saying hello, the person's arm was dislocated, and he felt that his arm was not his own. Damn, he glared at the two fathers-in-law viciously, and provoked Li Er to laugh again.
"Why don't you put it on Baron Xu's arm yet."
The saint spoke, and the two father-in-law immediately came to put Xu Yang's dislocated arm back, but there was a howl like killing a pig in the imperial study.
Li Erqiang held back a smile and said, "My two guards actually want to try your kung fu, just now Bai Mei told me that he touched all your bones, saying that your martial arts bones are extremely poor, you told me, why did Guiguzi accept you as a disciple?" ”
Xu Yang said indignantly: "The past generations of Guiguzi only accept two disciples in their lives, one is vertical, the other is horizontal, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, the original doctrine must have a battle between vertical and horizontal, and the one who wins is the next generation of Guigu, but when it comes to the sixth generation of Ye Qing Guigu Patriarch, the patriarch is amazing and has a sense of compassion, thinking that he was guilty of killing his fellow brother with his own hands when he was young, and he didn't want the disciples of Guigu in later generations to kill each other, so he set up a rule that the two disciples of Guigu in the future will learn literature and practice martial arts. That's what I learned. ”
As soon as he said this, the hall suddenly became quiet, and Xu Yang could even hear Li Shimin's heavy breathing.
Not long after the Xuanwumen Change, Li Er's hands still had Li Jiancheng's blood remaining, Li Yuanji's own brothers, and many nights, he would dream that Li Jiancheng was wearing a bloody robe to strangle himself.
History is always misinterpreted, and Li Jiancheng in history, with the talent of governing the country, has been handling government affairs with Li Yuan for a long time, and has taken care of it in an orderly manner; He knew how to make good use of people, and his advisers Wei Zheng and Xue Wanqian all became important ministers of Zhenguan in later generations; He was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to kill his second brother Li Shimin even though he knew that he had the ambition to take over the heir; He also has the ability to fight on the battlefield, and in one of the few expeditions, he once used the Huairou policy to defeat Liu Heimin and won a complete victory.
Such a Li Jiancheng has a stable position, there is no need to play tricks as said in the history books, and only Li Shimin can really benefit from the Xuanwumen Change. But we have always been misled by history, because we always see stories of successes and defeats.
From the ancient Yellow Emperor and Chi You, to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and even Mao Taizu and Lao Jiang, the story of becoming a king and losing a king is staged all the time, and Li Shimin is just lucky to succeed.
So he has always felt guilty about the death of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, after he took the throne, he worked hard, not much love for the people, he just didn't want future generations to evaluate him and say that he killed his brother and brother, and he was still mediocre when he became the emperor, and it was not as good as Li Jiancheng to be the emperor.
Now I heard that Xu Yang said that the master of Zongheng Ye Qingzu was also a brother killer, and a sense of cordiality suddenly arose.
Li Er said fascinatedly: "You just said that you, Master Ye Qingzu, are amazing and have a sense of compassion, what did he do?" ”
As soon as Xu Yang heard it, he knew that Li Er imagined this Master Ye Qingzu to be the same as himself, what a sense of substitution in his life experience, if he didn't make a sycophant at this time, heaven would be intolerable!
Xu Yang said in a high tone: "Patriarch Ye Qing is extremely talented, he is the generation closest to the ancestor in the six generations of ghost valleys, he drove the mirage, took thousands of boys and girls, traveled in the sea of thousands of miles, traveled all over the wonders of the world, and finally compiled the map of the world into a book, which was condensed into an artifact. ”
Li Er was fascinated when he heard this, and said, "What kind of artifact is it?" ”
"It's the globe in His Majesty's hand."
After Xu Yang finished speaking, he knew: Datang, this thousand-year-old sleeping lion, had opened his eyes and began to open his eyes to see the world for the first time.
