Chapter 367: Destiny and the Great Dao

The speed of the carriage was so fast that it could cover a distance of thousands of miles in an hour.

Two hours later, the carriage arrived at Peach Blossom Creek, the place where the family gathered.

"It's a world away." Jiang Wenchuan said with some interest.

Peach Blossom Creek can be said to be isolated from the world, mortals can hardly see this place, and even if they do, they can't walk in.

But this small means of isolation is just ordinary for the two of them.

A hole appeared in front of the carriage, and the entrance of the cave was the view of the other world, and the carriage slowly drove in.

The heads of the families inside also sensed that someone was coming, so they stepped forward to greet them.

This is the formation laid by the Great Confucian, and the only one who can crack it is the Great Confucian.

The moment Zhang Hetang saw the two of them, he immediately bowed and saluted: "I've seen Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, Li Zhizhou." ”

Scholars have a habit of addressing each other generally by saying official position.

Even if the other party has returned to his hometown and no longer holds this position, people are still accustomed to calling him an official position.

"Hey! These are all in the past tense and not worth mentioning. Jiang Wenchuan smiled bitterly.

"By the way, is the content of the letter true?" Li Wenying wondered.

It's not that Li Wenying is grinding, but this matter is too serious.

This world is respected by Confucianism and Taoism, and all schools of thought return to Confucianism.

Therefore, the orthodox and only doctrine of the Jin Dynasty is Confucianism, and the only holy thing is Confucius.

Confucianism is inclusive, and the doctrines of a hundred schools of thought are also counted among Confucianism.

Although the way of expression is different, the basic viewpoint still belongs to Confucianism and is expressed in the Confucian worldview.

But Lu Li's theory is different, and he is almost a theory that explains the world with a completely new worldview.

The Taiping Sutra attributes all things to the ethereal avenue, not the "heaven" as Confucianism says.

The two may seem similar, but they are not.

The Confucian "heaven" is ubiquitous.

The destiny of heaven controls the fate of all living beings, life, death, sickness and suffering;

Even the life and death of the country is determined by the mandate of heaven, and the monarch of the country is the mandate of heaven, so he is also called the son of heaven.

If the Son of Heaven is retrograde, then Heaven will send down punishment, and even the Mandate of Heaven will not be on him, and the country will perish because of it.

The Mandate of Heaven thus re-elects the Son of Heaven to whom the Mandate of Heaven belongs, which is the Confucian theory of changing dynasties.

Under this set of theories of the Mandate of Heaven, this provides a theoretical basis for the rationality of the ruling class, and everyone must abide by the general ethics of kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons.

If it violates the guidelines, it is a great rebellion.

The avenue is different, the avenue is free, equal, and just.

All things are under the avenue and are affected by the avenue; Under this avenue, all sentient beings are actually equal, and there is no such thing as "destiny".

The so-called Son of Heaven, the princes and princes are all equal in the eyes of the Great Dao, and they are no different from mortals.

Dadao has no preference for anyone, the reason why they are princes and nobles is more the result of personal chance and self-struggle.

It is not really destiny, nor is it determined by some underworld being.

This is the conclusion that Li Wenying came to after a cursory reading of the Taiping Sutra.

The theory of the Taiping Sutra covers the entire upper and lower strata of society, and it is impossible to understand it for a while.

However, Li Wenying knew that under the guidance of this set of Great Dao theory, the ideal society of the Taiping Jing and the Confucian society were not the same, and even diametrically opposed.

"This man is a great scourge, and must be cut down to the roots; The Taiping Sutra is listed as a forbidden book, and those who watch it are not allowed to gain fame. Jiang Wenchuan said to Li Wenying.

Both were far-sighted people who understood the importance of this matter.

If it was an ordinary rebellion, they would not have reacted so much.

The Jin Kingdom is so big, and there are more rebels every year, but without exception, they all end in failure.

Under the control of Confucianism and Taoism, all the masters in the world are concentrated in the Holy Courtyard, and there are many half-saints who can kill millions of people with a wave of their hands.

Few people succeed in rebellion.

Of course, everything is not absolute, if the dynasty loses the support of most of the people in the world, coupled with the huge rebel forces.

Then the Holy Court will not do such a thing that violates the "Mandate of Heaven", they will abandon this old dynasty and turn their heads to the new dynasty.

But Lu Li's theory is different, he is digging the foundation of Confucianism and destroying the Taoist system of Confucianism.

If this theory spreads, perhaps the Confucian scholars' literary hearts will be shaken, and they may turn to the Taiping Dao.

Moreover, the Taiping Sutra is not an ordinary fallacy and heresy, Li Wenying has to admit that this Taiping Sutra is reasonable, logically self-consistent, and not an imaginary crazy talk.

According to Zhang Hetang, this Lu Immortal Master has a very strong ability, he has the ability to live forever, and he can also make others immortal.

Perhaps other officials in Qingfu were tempted by this, as well as the bewitchment of the Taiping Sutra, so they threw themselves into this so-called Taiping Dao.

Thinking of this, Li Wenying looked at Jiang Wenchuan: "Do we want to report to the Holy Academy?" Let them send someone over to solve it? ”

Jiang Wenchuan shook his head and said, "Let's go investigate now, and it's not too late to report to the Holy Court after knowing the cause and effect." ”

Jiang Wenchuan felt that there was no evidence to prove the strength of those people now, and if he rashly let the half-saints of the Holy Courtyard come down to solve it, it turned out that the strength of the people was not even as good as the Great Confucian.

Then it is a knife to kill chickens, wasting manpower and material resources in vain.

The demi-saint is a killer weapon used to deal with the demon clan, and he is a strong man who suppresses the fortunes of the country, how can he manage these things.

Now they can go and investigate first, and if the other party's strength is average, then they can solve it themselves.

If the other party's strength exceeds their expectations, Jiang Wenchuan is confident that he will be able to get out, and it will not be too late to report to the top when the time comes.

However, judging from the Zhang family's intelligence, the strength of this group of people should not be as good as a demi-saint.

If there were demi-saints, then Huizhou would have been taken down a long time ago, and even the surrounding states would not be protected.

He knew the strength of the demi-saint best, this was an existence that could destroy a country.

They write articles that can even suppress the fortunes of a country.

If the demi-saint wants to rebel, then it is no problem to easily take a place, and it is impossible to hide in a small place like now.

In Jiang Wenchuan's opinion, this Lu Immortal Master has the most Confucian strength, otherwise it would be impossible to subdue the Xie family brothers

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenchuan said to Li Wenying: "Let's go to the Xie family brothers first, I want to see what is going on, as a prefect, I was actually bought." ”

Although there was no evidence, his intuition was that Xie He was in league with others.

Jiang Wenchuan was very disappointed in Xie He, the level of a university scholar would be deceived by someone.

"Well, I'm going to see what the hell they're up to." Li Wenying said.

That mysterious Lu Immortal Master didn't know where it was, but the Xie family brothers definitely knew, and maybe they were one of the masterminds behind the scenes
