Regarding the queen mother's emotion, the old sea urchin was not very surprised, showing an expected look.

"It's a natural phenomenon." "We found this pattern when we studied the history of Andalusia," he said. ”

"When the country is stable and prosperous, people's psychological state will also change. People will settle for material comforts and even take this environment for granted. It would be impossible to let them live like that back then. ”

"With us, this kind of thing has happened many times." For example, he said: "Every time Andalusia is invaded, it is people from poor places. They were hard-working and resilient, and they were able to exert great fighting power to defeat the city people who were accustomed to living in affluence and establish their own power. ”

And after that, they will follow the same cycle: the first generation will still be able to maintain the original aggressiveness, and the second generation will already start to get used to enjoyment. By the third generation, and beyond, they are no different from the enemies of their ancestors. At this point, history will repeat itself. From the barren mountains or barren deserts of West Africa, a new generation of conquerors will emerge to complete a new cycle. ”

"Do you have a solution then?" Monk Daoyan asked.

"Nope." The old sea urchin replied bluntly: "We have observed too few samples. It's quite rare to find a place where you can sustain this cycle. In most places, the cycle of history cannot be maintained, and local scholars are completely unaware of this pattern. Therefore, we can't find anything to refer to, and we can't compare and analyze, so we can only guess by ourselves. ”

"However, in recent times, by reading the records of the Central Plains Dynasty, I have found that our ideas are also applicable elsewhere. And their historical cycle is more obvious, so I estimate that this situation, as long as it is human, I am afraid it is inevitable. ”

"Your granddaughter's behavior is very normal, and I'm sure we've all met many times in history." He pointed at himself, then at Monk Daoyan, and said: "There were indeed people who tried to stop this trend back then, but at least, on our side, it has not had any effect, but it has made everyone more uncomfortable." ”

"How do you do that?" Monk Daoyan asked.

"A lot of the regimes in our country were started by the Order. First the organization was established through the Order, and then it took over secular functions to form the state. The old sea urchin said:

So, their way of thinking is also more religious. In general, it is hoped that through higher standards of ethics and stricter precepts, everyone will be restrained, so that people can maintain a pure heart and few desires for a long time, and maintain the physical and mental state of ancient times. They wanted to get people to restrain their desires and maintain their pure faith. ”

"Actually, it's not just us, as far as I know, there were more than one wave of religious movements in the past, and the principle is the same. In this way, everyone hoped to curb the corruption of the Order and the state, but unfortunately, this method has not been successful. ”

"As far as I know, the Order itself can't keep the precepts." Shaking his head, he said, "On the surface, everyone is required to follow the rules, but in fact, the leaders who are responsible for monitoring and enforcing them often fail to do so themselves. Moreover, after the environment changes, it is often impossible to continue to manage and restrain subordinates in the same way. In this way, the precepts quickly become invalid. ”

"Although in the name of Hu Da, we all know that those who write and formulate these rules are only mortals after all. Nor can rules that rely on mortals remain perfect forever. There is no solution to this idea. ”

"Even if it's not a religious constraint, it's unlikely to be maintained." Monk Daoyan seemed to be quite touched, and also agreed: "I am Emperor Taizu, who is jealous and hateful, and often punishes corrupt officials with strict standards. But this kind of restraint is not likely to be sustained for a long time. At the end of the day, we have to find another way. ”

"yes, everyone is in this situation, and sometimes I want to give up on myself." "Instead of trying to set up a order to restrain everyone, we should set up a order to keep the cycle going," the old urchin admitted. ”

"Since corruption is inevitable, instead of resisting in vain, it is better to use this historical cycle to choose those emerging forces that are relatively reliable." He said: "On our side, there have been many attempts by marginal tribes who believe in the Celestial Sect to enter the core area and establish hegemony. But these forces are really mixed, and some are even as brutal as the Crucidian Castillians! These people come to the cycle and only cause destruction. ”

Correspondingly, there have been some more intelligent and far-sighted tribes in history. In the process of overthrowing the original emirs, they inevitably used violence, but the results were better. If you want me to say, it is better to support and guide them appropriately, and take the initiative to help them to replace the emirs. At the very least, I can live a little more peacefully. ”

Monk Daoyan was silent for a while.

"The Seris have a habit of cleanliness and are very strict about outsiders. But it doesn't matter on our side. No matter what tribe it is, as long as you believe in the Heavenly Sect anyway, everyone can accept it. In the past two years, it has been even more lenient, and it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, just be kinder than the Castilians......" The old urchin complained, "Isn't that why I came to you for help?" ”

"So I don't think you need to worry too much about that. Trying to discipline her granddaughter too much can sometimes be a negative effect. He shook his head and said to the Queen Mother:

"Children can do whatever they want. They were destined to go down different paths, and we couldn't have done anything about them. Besides, if the laws of history are right, and slackness and even degeneration are inevitable trends, then it is useless for us to meddle and let them choose for themselves. As for the final result, only Hu Da knows. ”

"Hey, yes...... Queen Mother also sighed: "I talk to her, and sometimes I think she is quite reasonable." But if I think about it, I don't know if I'm too confused, or if she's thinking too much. ”

"The literati of the Central Plains all know that the girl in the boudoir has the most thoughts." Monk Daoyan also tried to enlighten her: "It is normal for children to think more at this age. Why don't you take a look, is she getting along with the son of the Guo family? ”

"Do all the little girls pay attention to this now?" The Queen Mother shook her head: "When I got married, I didn't seem to think much about my husband. No wonder I couldn't guess what she was thinking. ”

"Well, that's not a problem with this generation of girls. Maybe you're there...... It's too martial. Monk Daoyan said helplessly.

"yes. What did you think about at that time? The old sea urchin also asked.

"I think about Constantinople every day." The Queen Mother said truthfully: "I asked my father, but he didn't understand so many concepts at the time - he himself had never been to Constantinople. So at that time, I wondered every day what this city was like, and which rumors were true. ”

"As for who to marry, I really didn't care." She thought for a moment and said, "It is a woman's duty to marry. As for who to marry, isn't it up to the family and the father to decide? What are you doing with all this? ”

"Like...... Also? The old sea urchin was a little surprised: "But the women over there often make trouble, and they think that the husband they choose at home is not good." Castilian, on the other hand, had much more stable family ties. Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that we can't defeat the Crusader countries, and the atmosphere is indeed not very good......"

"yes." The Queen Mother thought so: "Anyway, it's all about marrying a person, having a child, who is different to marry?" Hurry up and complete the mission, and there are many other things. ”

"Besides, grandparents, fathers and aunts can't pick well, just have a little bit of vision? What's more, are good men singled out? She spread her hands and sighed for a long time: "Today's children are too sentimental. But I can't endure hardship, so I can't practice well. went back to fight with the man, and suffered a loss, but blamed the family for being too arbitrary and didn't pick her well. How does this work? ”

“……”

The old sea urchin and the Daoyan monk looked at each other, and only then did they understand that she was emotionally emotional. But he hadn't fought before, so he couldn't say anything......

After complaining about the disobedience of the juniors for a while, the Queen Mother said goodbye to them. Several people left separately, and the old sea urchin's apprentice helped him lead the horse and left first. Monk Daoyan stood for a while, waited for the entourage to put the car in place, and then left.

When the car came to the corner, the old monk lifted the curtains, and when he saw the Queen Mother seeing them off, he arched his hand at her to express his gratitude. But at this moment, two men on horseback hurried over, obscuring their vision.

Both men were wearing dark burqas, and it was unknown who they were. As soon as he turned the corner, the man in front of him took out a scroll and waved it at the door.

The coachman and his entourage all looked back curiously, but Monk Daoyan only told them that they didn't have to worry about it, they didn't need to look back, just keep walking.

With that, he lowered the curtains and closed his eyes to recuperate.
