Chapter 5: A Visit to Zhang Liang (1)
Not long after Liu Bang also came to Changle Palace, he didn't go to the palace of a lady and a beauty, but talked to the ministers in the front hall. After many days and nights of struggle, the fault of Weishui was basically repaired before the princes and kings entered Beijing, and only the stolen goods around Weishui were cleaned up and the people's hearts were calmed.
He was talking about distributing 100 gold to the nearby people who rushed to repair Weishui according to Chen Ping's suggestion, and asked Prime Minister Xiao He to listen to the order to reduce their taxes and servitude, so that they could enjoy the preferential policies of the state for the rest of their lives, and let them enter the rank of civil lord. There is no big deal, after Liu Bang finished speaking, he was about to announce the next dynasty, when a housekeeper told him that Princess Lu Yuan was coming, he immediately asked the ministers to go back with a happy face, and he hurried to Changle Palace.
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried when they met, and then said some words that they missed, Liu Bang was even more affectionate when he saw his granddaughter, kissed and kissed, and the family was finally reunited. In the evening, the family had a reunion dinner with Helele, and there was some talk and laughter, and it was almost time. Liu Bang felt that since his daughter was here, he should have a good chat with his mother, so he went to sleep in other palaces, for Liu Bang's departure this time, Empress Lu didn't say anything, it seemed that he knew that what he said would not help, and more importantly, Liu Bang left on the grounds that his daughter was coming, didn't he hinder the mother and daughter from talking here? Just for a reason, he looked high-sounding. At this time, there was no one else in the palace except the guards who stayed behind, and the entire Chang'an City was so quiet.
The next day, the prince came early to worship Empress Lu and stayed in her palace to play with Zhang Yan. The princess said that she would accompany Empress Lu to find a master for her younger brother, it seems that the princess is still good to her little brother, and as soon as she arrives in Chang'an, she can't wait to find a good master for her brother. Empress Lu already had this intention, if it wasn't for the princess who came that day, she and Dai Qing were afraid that they would have already gone to the Liuhou Mansion, and seeing that their daughter was also so enthusiastic, they readily agreed. Empress Lu, Princess Lu Yuan, and Dai Qing were about to go to Liuhou Mansion, Xiao Zhang Yan was too young, and she was pestering her uncle Liu Ying, and Empress Lu asked Liu Ying to play with her, saying that she would come when she went. Liu Ying happily agreed, and took her to play elsewhere.
It is said that Zhang Liang, who is a saint, has gradually withdrawn from the political arena since Liu Bang entered the capital Guanzhong, and he chose to learn from Tao Zhugong Fan Li, but what he learned was Tao Zhugong's judgment of the situation and the rapid retreat, he did not learn him to do business, but pretended to be a god to protect himself. Because he was smarter than Han Xin, Xiao He, and Du, he appreciated Liu Bang's attitude towards heroes during the Chu-Han War. Xiao He was suspected of being virtuous, Han Xin was seized of military power by unifying the army, and finally reduced from Wang Jue to Marquis, and was placed under house arrest by the emperor in disguise. He also encountered a small crisis of trust, that is, when he had just broken through the Qin army and attacked the Guanzhong garrison, Xiang Bo came to call him to leave at night. Zhang Liang introduced Xiang Bo to Liu Bang, Liu Bang met Xiang Bo and then entertained him with wine, about his children's in-laws, after Xiang Bo left, Liu Bang suspiciously asked a rhetorical question, "Jun'an and Xiang Bo have a reason." Since that time, Zhang Liang has been more cautious and cautious, and he will not be strong in everything. Reading deeply "Six Tao and Three Strategies" and appreciating the meaning, you will think of the tragic ending of Fan Li Wenzhong, a meritorious man who helped King Goujian of Yue to strengthen the country, or was killed or fled. He deeply understood the philosophy of 'rabbits and dead dogs cook birds and hide all bows', so he abandoned everything in the world, concentrated on cultivating the Tao and cultivating essence, lived quietly and practiced qi, and advocated the learning of Huang Lao.
Empress Lu and Princess Dai Qing of Lu Yuan walked all the way, although they looked around, they didn't see any towering homes on the road, and they didn't feel how majestic the Liuhou Mansion was, but the mansion was all rammed earth. The green mud eaves, the eaves are euphemistic and high, some are just quiet and peaceful, there is no dispute and noise here, but there is a sense of relaxation, and people's nervous nerves are instantly relieved.
As they walked on, a flock of chicks followed the old hen in front of them. There are some tea for people to drink under the big tree next to the Liuhou Mansion, there are stone benches, there are no vendors selling cloth and tea in front of the mansion, and the surroundings of the mansion are very quiet and peaceful. They turned to look at the adobe courtyard wall, looking a little shabby, Empress Lu sighed and shook her head, she didn't think that this was the Liuhou Mansion. As soon as he entered the hospital, he was frightened away by the barking of a black puppy, and Dai Qing hurried over to block Lu Hou.
She tried to chase the cute puppy away, waving her hands and shouting at the puppy, "Get away, you little brute, get out of the way." ”
Where did the puppy recognize her, but still barked and threatened them.
At this time, a little boy about seven or eight years old came out of the inner door, the boy was not tall, his skin was dark purple, his eyes were as bright as starlight, and a smart temperament from the inside out made Lu Hou feel that the boy had grown up unusual. Seeing them treat their puppies like this, he raised his hands and bowed to them, then looked at them and said lightly, "Animals are sometimes affectionate, and humans are sometimes ruthless." It is its duty to take care of the home for the owner, dare to ask a few, what is wrong with the puppy? Why do you do this to it? ”
Faced with the little boy's sudden and reckless question, Empress Lu and Princess Dai Qing didn't know how to answer, but they looked at each other unknowingly, and at the same time focused their eyes on the little boy.
At this time, the little boy was also looking at each of them upright. Empress Lu smiled and walked from behind Dai Qing to the boy's side, bent over and asked with a smile, "You are right, what is your name?" ”
"Zhang Budo." The boy said word by word that he was Zhang Liang's son Zhang Budo.
Empress Lu nodded, and said, "Liuhou is your father, right?" ”
The boy nodded.
"What about your father? I have something to look for him, but can I call your father out? ”
"My father has been wandering with red pine nuts all day long, and he has not eaten grains for a few days, leaving me and my younger brother to watch the house, he said that he has not seen any visitors, please go back." After speaking, the little boy was about to go back to the back room, but was stopped by Empress Lu, and said, "Please go in and honor your father, just say that the queen of the Han Dynasty, Lu Pheasant, came to visit." ”
As soon as the little boy heard that it was the queen of the dynasty, he didn't dare not ask his father, nodded to the queen and hurried in to report to Zhang Liang.
They observed everything in the courtyard of Liuhou's Mansion, there was a bit of open space in the side courtyard, and the soil seemed to have been turned, and Empress Lu could probably think that Liuhou would often grow some vegetables in his leisure time in spring and summer. There is a melon stand next to the main house, under the melon frame is a chicken nest, and there is a soft swing made of cloth next to it, and there is a fence around the east side, and the chickens outside are the masterpieces of Zhang Liang's mansion. Lu Hou couldn't help but smile when she saw this, "I didn't expect this ovary to be quite interesting, isn't this the life of ordinary people?" He's so laid-back. ”
Soon, the little boy came out, and behind the boy was a skinny Zhang Zifang, whose face was like Shi Zhu, and who looked like a woman. Zhang Zifang was dressed in a black and gray Hanfu, and his eyes still did not reduce the wisdom of the year.
Seeing that it was indeed the queen of the Han Dynasty, the ovary stepped forward, and was about to kneel down and salute with respectful hands, "...... minister"
Before he finished speaking, he was helped up by Empress Lu and said, "The ovary is exempt." ”
The fate of the monarch and the minister.
"Please." Zhang Liang stretched out a hand and invited Empress Lu and the princess to the stone case next to the courtyard, the three of them sat around the case, and a little maid came up to pour tea, "Is there only one maid in the house?" If so, I should bring a few more maidservants. ”
Zhang Liang smiled and thanked him, "The minister thanked the queen, but the minister is willing to be quiet and doesn't want others to disturb him, one is enough." ”
Empress Lu nodded, thinking that Zhang Liang closed his door after entering the customs, lived quietly at home, and lived like a master who lived in seclusion and escaped from the world, and rarely saw him, and thought that he advocated Taoism, so he asked with a smile, "The ovary has been practicing at home for many years, but can you also understand what the Tao is?" Where is the Tao? ”
Zhang Liang said, "The Tao is the foundation of all things, the Tao is in the world, and the valley is in the rivers and seas." ”
Empress Lu nodded, and asked again, "How to become a Taoist?" ”
Zhang Liang said, "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao law can be achieved naturally." ”
"How to use the Tao in the community?"
Zhang Liang also said, "The Tao often does nothing and does nothing, if the Hou Wang can keep it, all things will be self-serving." If you don't do anything, you will use the world to have more than enough; If there is a promise, it is not enough for the world. I do nothing and the people are self-reliant, I am quiet and the people are self-righteous, I have nothing to do and the people are self-enriched, I have no desire and the people are simple, I am born without having, I am not ashamed, and I am successful and prosperous. The monarch should act with the people in nothing, follow the law of all things, and the society can be successful. ”
Empress Lu nodded again and again when she heard this, isn't this just encouraging the Son of Heaven to continue to follow the rule of inaction? The object of inaction is the people, worthy of Zhang Zifang, not to mention the understanding of the Tao so thoroughly, but also pointed out the strategy and guidelines of the early Han Dynasty, Lu Hou said with a smile, "The ovary can become an old man." ”
Zhang Liang lowered his head and raised his hand, and said, "Caochen is incomparable to a saint." ”
Lu Hou smiled again, and looked at Zhang Liang who was now skinny, so he asked, "Does the ovary still not eat grains?" ”
"Grains and all products, don't eat them, immortals, gods and fairy bones, all are heavenly things, if you want to be a celestial person, eat a celestial thing first, if you want to see a celestial man, iQue and red pine nuts. The soul is elevated, and the immortal class has to be listed, and the minister is not talented, and he is willing to be a person with fairy wind and fairy bones, and a person with fairy wind and fairy bones How can he eat grains? Zhang Liang replied with a smile.
Hearing that Lu Hou's faces were stiff, he didn't know how to persuade Zhang Liang, and said with a smile, "The prince also believes that there are immortals?" So how could the First Emperor still die? ”
Zhang Liang also smiled, "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." ”
"Ugh." Empress Lu nodded, paused, and pretended to be helpless and disappointed, "It makes sense, it's just that you are in the immortal class, and there is one less capable genius in the world." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liang immediately added, "No, Nuwa's gods pinch the loess to create people, and her grace spreads all over the mountains and rivers, so that these loess people can transform the earth and transform the era, and different talents will emerge in each era, so that they can help their monarchs and countries become stronger." There is still Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor has the Yellow Emperor, the Emperor has the Emperor, the Emperor has the Emperor and Yao Shunyu. Don't talk about ancient times, let's just say that now, there is no ovary, but there is still Chen Ping, and Xiao He Wangling's high Zhou Bo baby, they are all capable and talented, but they just need the attention of the monarch. "Guanzi" says: The world does not suffer from no ministers, and there is no king to make it. There are a lot of virtuous people in the world. ”
