Listening to Lao Tzu's preaching, I unconsciously arrived in the afternoon.

Fang Jishi's stomach was already hungry, and he still ate at noon yesterday. But he couldn't interrupt Lao Tzu's sermon and offered to eat. Furthermore! This is the palace, in the study of King Zhou Jing, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he wants to eat, he can't eat.

In fact! Lao Tzu has been hungry for a long time. But he was preaching, and he couldn't stop trying to make a problem clear. Furthermore! This is the royal palace, where are the courtiers who ask the lord for food?

Asking the Son of Heaven for food is also disrespectful.

The same is true of King Zhou Jing, the son of the Great Zhou, his stomach has long been hungry. But he listened carefully and didn't want Lao Tzu to stop. So! I can only endure it.

The little eunuchs who served around them, they commuted to and from work according to normal rules, but they all ate one by one. Only the eunuch and other people who served the Son of Heaven did not dare to leave without permission to eat alone.

Their duty is to serve the Son of Heaven, and they dare not leave without the permission of the Son of Heaven. Furthermore! The Son of Heaven has not eaten, and you are a slave who can't eat no matter how hungry you are. But! They saw that the Great Zhou Tianzi could persevere, so they had to endure hunger and listen attentively.

Listening to Lao Tzu's preaching, I can understand the great truth of life, and unconsciously, the eunuch and others also forgot to be hungry.

After listening to Lao Tzu's preaching, King Zhou Jing said: "No wonder you want to preach the 'Tao', it turns out!" 'Tao' is the total source of all things in the world, people come from heaven and earth, and heaven and earth come from Tao. You have solved the problem of the origin of man, and you have solved the problem of the source of heaven and earth. After listening to your sermon, the widow wants to ask? Then what about the sacrifices we will make to the gods of heaven and earth in the future? Or is it a sacrificial way? ”

"You can sacrifice or not!" Lao Tzu nodded and replied.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lao Tzu smiled: "Sacrifice is just a kind of sustenance and awe, so! It may or may not be sacrificed. Sustenance or awe indicates that our hearts are not confident. If we think of sacrifice as a custom, it is possible! And also! Most people in the world are not confident and have a sense of awe for the gods and the unknown, but after the sacrifice, their hearts are balanced, they have no sense of fear, and they have hope for the future. So! For most people, sacrifices are still needed. ”

"Hmmm! That! Is it necessary for the widow to hold a national sacrifice according to the ancestral system? Good! Well! After you say this, the widow understands! Well! Pander to? You're not hungry, are you? The widow is hungry! Eunuch! Tell me to go down and prepare a meal! Hey! Hey, hey, hey......"

Zhou Jingwang said and couldn't help laughing.

What time has it been? Needless to say! If you don't talk about eating, who dares to say eating?

"Yes! Lord! The eunuch agreed, and hurried to prepare the meal.

"Where is not hungry? I've been hungry for a long time! Lord! Lear is guilty! As soon as Li Er said it, it was endless, and he couldn't hold it back! Lao Tzu apologized.

"Where? Where? Aiqing! Lear! The same goes for widows! Listening to your sermon, no one can stop! Where are you guilty? You're a hero! No! You are a blessed star for the people of the world! If everyone in the world has you, it is a blessing! Lear! The widow wants to give you a privilege! You! ……”

King Zhou Jing pointed his finger at Lao Tzu and said seriously: "In the future, you will not only be a teacher for the prince and the little prince, but also a teacher for the people of the world!" Lear! ”

"In!" Lao Tzu hurriedly left his seat, ready to step forward and kowtow to thank him. Outcome! Due to sitting there for a long time, my legs and feet were a little numb and I almost fell.

"Lear is guilty! Lear is guilty! ”

"Excuse me! Lear! What is your relationship with the widow? It's a brotherly relationship! It's the relationship between teachers and students! Don't get down on your knees at every turn! Excuse me! Don't kneel down at every turn! If only it were again! and the widow will condemn thee. ”

When Lao Tzu heard this, he hurriedly thanked him again. Seeing that King Zhou Jing smiled and waved at him, he had to forget it.

Sitting back on his seat, looking at King Zhou Jing, Lao Tzu said seriously: "Lord! The courtesy of the monarch and the minister is still needed, as long as it is not too much of a situation! There are no rules, there is no circle, there is no courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and there is no distinction between the king and the minister? In this world, we still need to behave! People and things are the same, they are different. A king is a king, and a minister is a minister! So! The courtesy of a monarch is needed......"

Zhou Jingwang interrupted: "Red tape is waived!" ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Lear! Aiqing! Brothers! Zhou Jingchao waved Lao Tzu and said: "You not only want to be the prince's teacher, but also the little prince's teacher, widow!" I! I, Ji Gui, am also your student! You are a mentor to the widow......"

"Lord! ......" Lao Tzu looked sincerely frightened, and was about to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by King Zhou Jingwang waving his hand.

"You not only have to be a teacher of my widow, but you also have to be a teacher of the world! The widow has allowed you to open the altar and preach, and tell your 'word' and your doctrine to the people of the world. The widow named you a great teacher! First to the widow and the royal family, then to the widow's courtiers, and then! Preaching to the world again......"

"Lord! ……”

Lao Tzu looked sincerely frightened, and was about to kneel and kowtow again, but was stopped by King Zhou Jingwang waving his hand.

"Lord! Li Er is a shallow learner! Li Er's 'Tao' is not yet mature in theory, and he still dare not preach publicly. Lord? ”

Zhou Jingwang waved his arm and insisted: "Just what you just told the widow, it's perfect!" Lear! Don't be modest! Don't hesitate! As I said to the widow, it's good! Theoretically sound and coherent.

Furthermore! Let's summarize as we talk! Isn't it?

If you don't come up with your theory for everyone to know, let everyone comment on it, how to improve it? If you think it is perfect, it is not perfect and it is not necessarily perfect, and everyone thinks that perfection is really perfect. You think it's imperfect, but we think it's perfect, everyone thinks it's perfect, that's perfect! ……”

"Yes, yes, yes! Practice makes sense! Fang Jishi also interjected on the side.

"Good!" Zhou Jingwang applauded: "Yes! Practice makes sense! Lear! The widow has given you a great teacher! Preaching for the widowed, preaching for the world. ”

"Lord! Lord! Lao Tzu couldn't sit still anymore, so he crawled out of his seat, came to Zhou Jingwang's desk, and kowtowed on the ground.

"Lord! Li Er has no talent! Li Er has no talent! Li Er was uneasy! Li Er is afraid that he will not be able to do it well! Lord! Li Er has studied 'Taoism' for many years, but he does not dare to publish everything to the world, because Li Er knows that he is not talented enough to understand the truth, so he hesitates. Now I met the great god of Lu and learned about Li Er's "Tao Te Ching" more than 2,000 years later, and I realized the Tao? Lord! Li Er panicked, afraid that Li Er's Taoism would not stand the test? Lord! ……”

"Oh?" When Zhou Jingwang heard this, he turned his gaze to Fang Jishi, as if asking: What Li Er said is true?
