Chapter 174: The Martyrs of the Dao (I)

Peng Hanzhi came and was soon summoned by Fang Xin

At this time, the appearance of the Governor's Mansion is still the old view, but inside, after many transformations, not only spacious and elegant, the garden and the courtyard are integrated, the layout is quiet, the water stone is the lining, the most important thing is to clean up the structure of the entire mansion, between the corridor and the rockery, there are hidden guards.

Even so, the whole structure is like a hill, exquisite and simple, very poetic, and breathtaking.

Whether it is a garden or a personal health system, it makes those who see it frightened.

Entering from the forest, to an outer hall, it is full of personal guards, all of them are tigers and bears, and they are extremely fat, and they can see the slight knowledge, which shows Li Rui's current strength.

At this moment, Fang Xin came out of the door.

Peng Hanzhi saw this person at a glance, and quickly combined it with the impression of the year, Fang Xin is now thirty-eight years old, but he looks only about thirty, although he is wearing a casual eye, but the whole person unconsciously has a kind of majesty.

Peng Hanzhi was a five-grade at this time, and the difference in official positions was too great, so he knelt down and kowtowed according to the etiquette at the moment: "Peng Hanzhi, a bachelor of the Wenlin Pavilion of Xiaguan, has seen the Marquis of Zhennan." ”

Fang Xin calmly helped each other and said, "Brother Peng Nian doesn't have to be polite, it's hard to come here, hurry up and serve tea!" ”

In this era, those who are on the same list in the imperial examination system are called the same year, and they call each other brothers, but if the official position is too different, this is quite polite.

Peng Hanzhi was shocked in his heart, seeing that he had not seen him for many years, he gestured and looked forward to it, deep and introverted, treated people and things, was humble and polite, and was majestic and condensed, and it was famous.

Peng Hanzhi from the sleeve. Take out a letter. Take a few steps forward. said, "Don't dare." Shangguan Xijiang Provincial Political Envoy Pei Gong. There is a letter to Zhennanhou! ”

Fang Xin took it. Let's put it on the copy first. said: "It turned out to be Tanhualang." Tanhualang over the years. The political voice is far and wide. Fame moves the world. I've been looking up for a long time...... Brother Peng Nian doesn't have to be courteous. Have a seat! ”

Then. And the maid came forward. The end is a beautiful color. Serve it with tea. At this time, there was no reason for the Qing Dynasty to serve tea to guests. After the tea ceremony. Fang Xin picked up the teacup. Said with a smile: "A cup of weak tea." Young brother. Brother Nian, please taste it. ”

Peng Hanzhi picked up the teacup. Take a sip. Praise: "Good tea!" ”

Peng Hanzhi took a sip. Put down the teacup. Said Zhengrong said: "Zhennan Hou." Xia Guan had a thought. I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Brother Nian, please speak." Fang Xin said.

Na Rong Xia Guan said frankly that Hou Ye came out of poverty, fifteen middle school talents, eighteen-year-old middle lift, twenty list eyes, and gold list titles. On the twenty-first day, three thousand barbarian soldiers were annihilated by the county order, and they were knighted, and on the twenty-second they wrote six books, which were not issued by the predecessors, and followed the learning of the sages and sages, and spread to the world. ”

"The twenty-third prefect of Nanyun County, Yanyang Province, ruled one side for six years, and hundreds of thousands of people lived, which was a great achievement. Worth thirty-three, he is the governor, and in a few years, he destroyed the barbarian king, leveled the whole province, and saved millions of soldiers and civilians. ”

"The ancients said that the way of the sages lies in the three stands, which is to establish words, meritorious service, and virtue. Zhennan Hou is a county, a government is a province. The capital governs all the people and educates. Breaking the thieves and soldiers, giving to the peace, so far there are millions of people who have been blessed? On the orders of the first emperor, he led the army to attack the country, and held his monarch to ask the guilt in front, dedicated to the Taimiao, this merit is high, Huahua has been thousands of years, and those who are ministers are only hundreds, this is a meritorious service! ”

When Fang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but hiss, indeed, the past 20 years of hard work have laid the current situation.

"Analects of the clouds: a word can prosper the country, a word can lose the state, Zhennan Hou wrote six books, these more than ten years ago the world was spread, although there is controversy but does not hide it, Zhennan Hou can know, even my upper official, Xijiang Province political envoy Pei Gong, read it is also full of praise, said that the subtlety and righteousness of the first saint, for the past dynasties to govern the way for thousands of years, the grandeur of thousands of years, can speak, how many people? There are all those who enjoy the temple, standing around the saints, and the Zhennan Hou can also be immortal! ”

"Since then, the Marquis of Zhennan, the two have become prominent, the heroes of the sea, the famous ministers in history, those who can be compared with the Marquis of Zhennan, there are very few, and they can be re-established. When the sages were in the past, they only made words and virtues, and they didn't make meritorious contributions, and I didn't know if the Hou Ye was willing to listen to my words. ”

"Mr. Peng, just say it." Fang Xin leaned forward and said.

"Everything returns to the origin, since Zhennan Hou Wenwu has the talent of heroes, but if there is no promotion by the first emperor, even if a hero like Hou Ye is afraid it will be difficult to use. Now the sea is turbulent, but it is not the Son of Heaven who has lost his morality and lost his government, may I ask the Duke of Zhennan, is he willing to raise troops to plunder the land to fulfill his selfish desires, or is he willing to establish virtue and make the three Li consummated, close to the famous religion and Yasheng, and the meritorious deeds will be eternal? ”

When Fang Xin heard this, he changed color slightly, and was silent, and after a while, he said, "What if you want to raise troops?" ”

"The Marquis of Zhennan commanded 100,000 tigers at this time, it is true that the civil and military forces are strong and strong, but although the Great Chu is in turmoil, it is not the Son of Heaven who is immoral and tyrannical, but the usurper and the rebellious, the heart of the people in the world is still orthodox, if the Marquis of Zhennan sends troops to attack other provinces, it is already a rebellion, what is the difference between high rebellion? My family Shangguan Pei Gong, the family has a rich background, known as famous, will fight to the death with the Hou of Zhennan, Pei Gong ascended to the heights and shouted, the world's celebrities flow into the mountains and rivers, the Hou of Zhennan is the enemy of the world, dare to ask what are the chances of winning? ”

"Regardless of victory or defeat, the Marquis of Zhennan has carried the name of the thief, and his deeds have been paid for twenty years.

Fang Xin was silent for a long time, this Peng Hanzhi is really a national scholar, with extraordinary intelligence, intercession, reasoning, questioning, and argumentation, all of which are incisive and to the point, and then asked: "What if you want to achieve the perfection of the three stands?" ”

"The two hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu country, has not lost its morality, it is a great place, hundreds of millions of people are looking forward to it, the people's aspirations, or the Great Chu out of a true son of heaven, in order to save the people, such as Zhennan Hou has the ambition of three consummation, and join hands with my family officials, and contact the loyal people of the world, as long as you wait a little for a year and a half, you can join forces and go straight in, although the high rebellion is strong, it has lost its way, swept up, and it will be wiped out, so, and then welcome the enthronement of the neighboring clan, not only the prince and the king are at your fingertips, but also the three virtues are complete, under the ages, only the south throat of the town is exhausted, think deeply! ”

After Peng Hanzhi finished speaking, he took a deep look to the end, respectfully and earnestly, and waited for Fang Xin's answer.

These words are a long speech after his careful consideration, and it is not impossible that they are reasonable. It is very probable, you must know that Fang Xin's current position is indeed a critical point.

According to what he said, it is indeed the consummation of the three positions, whether it is a real achievement. It is still morality, or the immortality of the six books that will be handed down to future generations, and will erect a glorious example, which cannot be erased no matter what, and it is indeed quite moving.

Fang Xin was about to say something, but he felt that the dragon qi was shocked, and after a moment of silence, Fang Xin slowly got up and said, "What a brother Peng Nian." A list of Jinshi, if you are the best in the world, I love it very much. Don't dare to leave, you go back to rest first, and in three days, you will go out with me and go to Lunan! ”

As soon as this sentence was said, it was originally gentle and indifferent, and it was a little majestic, but at this moment, it suddenly showed that kind of insight into everything. Wise and calm, and want to grasp everything in hand.

Peng Hanzhi was taken aback, although he expected that Fang Xin might refuse, but he didn't expect Fang Xin to say this, so simply, he didn't even think about it, and hurriedly said: "Zhennanhou, you have to think twice, you have to know that your deeds are complete." And those who want to rejoin, most of them are too late, do not listen to the good deeds of the husband, and break over a thousand, and the people govern the government, and the reason for the rebellion? ”

The golden mean lies in sticking to the two ends, so Confucian orthodoxy does consider the problem of this degree.

A man does good. Solid is a great good. But if the puppet does too much good, most of them will not die well. Why?

Giving millions of dollars, building roads and giving porridge, don't outsiders be jealous when they see that others have such wealth? When relatives see that they have wealth and use it for good, and do not give it to their relatives, do they not hate it? When the government sees that its people have won the hearts of the people, will it not be jealous?

Since outsiders, relatives, and the government are all suspicious, how can this person have a good death.

As for the government of an official, for the monarch of a country, if you try to set up an immortal feat, often leave a great hidden danger, Qin Shi Huang swept the six countries, bent the bow in the north, the barbarians did not dare to herd horses, but the second died, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made great achievements, expelled the Huns, but its dynasty declined because of this, as for the future, the world does not know Chongzhen, and a certain dynasty Taizu, are clear proof.

Fang Xin was familiar with Confucianism and clearly investigated humanity, but he didn't know the reason, but he still smiled indifferently and waved his hand, just asking, "Have you ever read my six books?" ”

"Read, just ......"

"I have written six books, and the rest is just that, I will divide this small benevolence and the great benevolence for the world, what is the small benevolence? Those who do not fall into the world are small, what is great benevolence, and those who fall into the world and walk in the world are great. ”

"What is the one who has done meritorious service, words and virtues, is it for the immortality of one person? No, it is the way of it. ”

"The Taoist, invisible and invisible, exists, if there is no way, although the wisdom is monstrous, there is no foundation, so you have to go with the flow, if you have the way, you will do it, although there are tens of millions of people and I will go!"

"The study of humanity, one point can help all the people, don't you give up your life and forget your death?" Fang Xin said lightly: "Mr. is a great talent, and I should know that my heart is." ”

All the real big husbands and heroes are mature only when they have their own authenticity

Suddenly, Fang Xin remembered a certain Taizu on the earth, Taizu also has a Tao, this Tao is his doctrine, it is for heaven on earth, so he can live and kill without fear, I don't know how many enemies and his own lives have been reformed, how much blood has been shed, the means are good or evil, light or dark, and many are tricks of power, but he is free, and he has never hesitated or doubted in his heart, so it is because of his belief in the earth.

And the same is true for mature politicians, in this world, it is not heaven, so what is the real merit that has been perfected, a lifetime, a last resort, to do a lot, without their own way, nothing more than to go with the flow, how can they really do great things?

Those who have no Tao are afraid, and those who have Tao are fearless, but whether the Tao is the truth or not, whether it is suitable for the world or not, must be practiced, but even if it is for personal liberation, we must always have a fearless heart for the sake of seeking the true Dharma, sacrificing one's body and forgetting death, which is selfless!

Therefore, in this world, the Tao is not the same.

Peng Hanzhi listened, saw his expression, and was immediately moved.

Those who have attained the Tao do not seek or learn, but the heart of the self-satisfied martyr will last forever!
