Chapter 284: Leaving the Xia Dynasty and Traveling Around the World
"What? I haven't seen you in all these years, I don't recognize it? ”
Gu Dan's expression did not change in the slightest.
His disguise technique can be called the pinnacle, especially the way of medicine, I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with it, and his understanding and understanding of the human body is far beyond the people of this era.
So making small changes that look perfectly natural.
Of course, he didn't do too much, it was just a little more wrinkles on his face and grayer hair.
At first glance, he doesn't look as young as he used to, but if he really confuses the word 'old', it really wouldn't be enough.
"No, no."
Wang Mang shook his head again and again, his eyes were fixed on Gu Dan's cheeks, and he swirled in his hair several times, the expression on his face could be described as mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
It turns out that Brother Gu will also get old?
Since Gu Dan was promoted to Grand Grandmaster, his appearance has been almost constant, and after so many years of getting along, everyone has gradually become accustomed to it, and even accepted it.
Even the grandmaster can't stop aging, but aging is much slower than normal people, but in Gu Dan's body, this slow change has never been seen.
Only in the bronze mirror, when I see my aging self, can I suddenly realize that time seems to have not passed in Gu Dan's body.
Now that he suddenly saw such a big change in Gu Dan, Wang Mang was naturally shocked.
He once felt that until he left the West, Gu Dan's face would not change in any way.
"You're back on your own?"
Wang Mang, who didn't know what to say, asked subconsciously.
As soon as the words came out, I wanted to slap myself.
It was the changes that Gu Dan experienced that a normal person should have surprised him, which caused him to not even have much time to think about speaking.
"Hmm."
Gu Dan nodded slightly.
"The prime minister is too tired, it's good to rest and rest."
Wang Mang tried to squeeze out a smile on his face, sadness was there, but not much.
Because he also felt that his body was beginning to become more and more inadequate.
At the beginning, I could only sleep for two hours a day, and even review the recital overnight, and I was still able to rejuvenate the next day.
And now, when dealing with official business normally, occasionally there will be difficult thoughts.
He was approaching eighty years of age.
Life is rare for 70 years, how many people can live to be 100 years old?
It is a martial artist who practices dirty and great success, and he can't break the clear but invisible and qualitative boundary, Shou Yuan is actually not much different from ordinary people, it is nothing more than a better spirit, but it does not mean that he will be able to live a long time.
Wang Mang knew that his limit was probably not far away.
Time never kills people with a quick knife, only on a little bit of traces, and a heavy knife.
"In the years since you left, Xun Ke has also done a lot of things, and Xiaoying, and now she is in charge of overseeing the affairs of the Xia Dynasty Medical Hall."
Wang Mang sat across the stone table, as if reporting on his work, and told Gu Dan about the changes he had not seen in the past few years.
On the whole, the Xia Dynasty was stable and improving, the people's lives were getting richer and richer, and their living conditions were steadily improving.
Although Gu Dan is not in the temple, some clues can be seen from the fact that the common people can have leisure and spare money to participate in various festivals - in the big moon, this kind of celebration has always been only the plaything of a small number of people.
If you don't even have enough to eat, no matter what kind of meaning you give to the festival, no one cares.
Only after securing their own lives can most people have the leisure and mood to find some joy in their lives.
Gu Dan listened silently, Wang Mang never talked about himself, but only told about the merits of others.
But among the people, there is already the name of the holy king being sung.
The Holy King is Xun Ke's highest praise for the emperor, not specifically.
But it is also a remarkable thing to be able to make people spontaneously put this kind of name on their bodies.
At least in Gu Dan's memory, the last person to achieve this level was called Moqiu.
But what did Wang Mang do?
No.
The Xia Dynasty has been forty-eight years now, and in addition to spreading the land into the acres, I can't find a thing worth writing about.
Even the apportionment into the mu is a strong requirement of Gu Dan.
If this matter is stripped out, it will be surprising to find that in the Xia Dynasty, there are almost no traces of Wang Mang, the emperor.
In other words, there is nothing more than a matter of course about who and who was appointed.
Isn't this a function that the emperor should have in his own right?
But he is powerful, he can imperceptibly put people in the right place.
For so many years, Gu Dan has never heard of Wang Mang's special deeds among the people.
Some words of praise are nothing more than cocoons that can be heard by the ears: diligent government and love for the people, hard work, simple life, water conservancy construction, and a lot of featureless praise.
It seems that there is not a single word that can conclude the merits of this Xia Emperor.
He touched a little bit of everything, but everything was so inconspicuous that he often ignored it, and even forgot that there was such a Xia Emperor in the Xia Dynasty.
If the history of the Xia Dynasty is fixed, then the first half of the Xia Dynasty must be Moqiu and the Mohists, and the second half is the Mohists and Confucianism, and there is no emperor in the middle!
As an emperor, Wang Mang seems to have no sense of existence.
It's a great thing.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
Although the fire is high and intense, it is inevitable that it will not last.
The thin water flows gently and silently, but it can be silently accumulated and thrived.
At the beginning, the national policy adopted by Emperor Ming of Dayue Zong was called rule by inaction, but his inaction was only taking care of himself.
However, Wang Mang's method is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Zong Ming, the difference is that he completely puts himself down.
It's not an easy thing to do, especially in that seat.
One word, nine five supreme!
In this position, who doesn't want to do a vigorous career?
Who doesn't want their name to remain in history and be praised by future generations?
Some guys, eager to do some great deeds every year, by the way, seal a Zen, and announce the gods of heaven and earth, so that future generations can recite and remember their merits, and in the end they will just fall into the soil and decay.
After so many years, the Xia Dynasty has indeed become stronger and stronger, and even became the most powerful country around it a decade or two earlier, but even today, Gu Dan has never heard of any auspicious omen that is popular in the Xia Dynasty.
The Mohists said that Tianzhi and Ming ghosts.
The will of heaven is to understand the natural laws of all things, and the ghosts are the rewards and punishments that fall on the earth in the operation of the supreme rules.
Wang Mang implemented this very well.
Although he supported Confucianism, he always demanded himself according to the regulations of the Mo, but it was not so extreme.
In this silent persistence, in the passing of nearly 50 years, the people are not blind or foolish after all.
The emperor no longer found a sense of existence for himself, but began to be remembered and recited.
There was no need for complicated ceremonies, nor large-scale canonization of righteous words, he silently guarded his people, and the people began to thank him for his kindness.
Gu Dan looked at Wang Mang, who was already old, and listened to him praise others, his eyes seemed to pass through the curtains, and he saw him working silently behind him.
"You're a good emperor."
When Wang Mang said almost the same, and when he picked up the tea to drink, Gu Dan said.
"What?"
Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, and the tea in his hand rippled a little, splashing on the ground, setting off a little dust.
"You're a good emperor."
Gu Dan repeated.
"Huh?"
Wang Mang looked quite surprised, why did Brother Gu suddenly say this?
But his reaction could not deceive people, the corners of his mouth lifted upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the wrinkles on his face were stacked together, like small mountains composed of layers of ravines, one after another turned into waves, condensed into a smile.
"It will be praised by the people and will become a model for future generations."
After taking a turn around Cang's side, Gu Dan began to affirm everyone, "You did a good job. ”
"Yikes."
Wang Mang almost smiled a flower on his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit, his gray hair was constantly trembling, and he shook his head.
Is this what it's like to be touted by a great grandmaster?
It's like becoming an immortal!
This kind of happiness is unimaginable to ordinary people!
"Is there anything else? A few more words! ”
Wang Mang urged.
“.”
After a short silence, Gu Dan pointed out the door, "Get out." ”
"Gotcha."
Wang Mang really got down from the stone bench, rolled around on the ground, and was covered with dust, but he didn't care, looked up to the sky and laughed, and went out.
Looking at Wang Mang, who seemed to be crazy, the corners of Gu Dan's mouth twitched slightly, "This old boy! ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Dan poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.
His eyes fixed on the empty courtyard and listened to the continuous chirping of cicadas.
There hasn't been any movement for a long time.
A few days after Wang Mang left, Yu Lisheng visited the Gu family's courtyard.
"Rare guest!"
When he saw that his complexion was dark, and he was better than Moqiu, Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gong Shang is too busy with his feet not touching the ground, this one is amazing, he can't find anyone.
There is Kyushu in the land of the Xia Dynasty, this Mo family giant takes the ink man, and measures the morality of the world with his footsteps, and there is never a day of leisure, which is summoned by Wang Mang, and can only be notified by the Mo man.
Because of him, the dogma of the Mo family is no longer a simple dogma, but a group of people who practice it to prove that the requirements of the Mo family can be done.
"Mr. Gu, I'm here to bid you farewell."
After seeing Gu Dan, Yu Lisheng did not say hello, he has always been like this, crisp and neat, without concealment.
"Resignation?"
Gu Dan was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect this.
Ten years ago, I didn't go to the Buzhou Mountains, and then I ran over at this time?
In terms of the grandmaster's longevity, it's not impossible, but it seems quite extravagant.
However, as soon as Yu Lisheng's words came out, Gu Dan knew that he was thinking about it.
"Yes, today's Xia Dynasty is extremely strong, even ordinary people, even if they can eat a meal of meat in seven days in a disaster year, it is enough to satisfy their stomachs in a disaster year."
Yu Lisheng continued: "The Mo family's most basic mission in the Xia Dynasty has been completed, but there are still many places that need the help of the Mo family. ”
"You're going to travel the nations?"
Gu Dan understood.
This matter is actually very common, especially among the grandmasters, such as Yang Zhu at the beginning, who traveled to the Xia Dynasty and briefly participated in a discussion, and then went farther away.
These people roam the world like duckweed, and it should not be surprising that each has their own reasons, or are looking for their own reasons.
In any country, as long as it is not an unpardonable sin, the grandmaster will not stay at will.
But the problem is that Yu Lisheng is not an ordinary grandmaster, he is still a giant of the Mo family.
The Mo family giant, he is leaving the Xia Dynasty!
Who would have thought about this?
Wang Mang has been cultivating the Xia Dynasty for nearly 50 years, so why not win the birds?
As an unknown successor to Moqiu, a sage in the world, many people's requirements for poultry victory are far higher than those of the emperor.
But with his own ability and belief, Yu Lisheng perfectly undertook the Mo family.
In his hands, no one could say that the Mo family was unqualified, even compared to Mo Qiu.
The difference is only that there are not as many great deeds as Moqiu on him.
And the key thing is that Murqiu is the successor of the latter, even if the latecomer can do the same thing as Murqiu, he is only the successor, and the chaser of the sun is always overshadowed in the light, which is normal.
After so many years, the Mo family giant has long been deserved, and there is no doubt about it.
Even Confucianism, which is very different from the Mo family, does not dare to say that there is a problem with the Mo family's private morality, and can only say that the Mo family's requirements are too high and unrealistic.
Many people in the Xia Dynasty have taken the existence of the Mo family for granted, just like there is a court and an emperor, how can there be no Mo family?
And now, the bird is going to go.
In other words, he wants to lead the Mo family and spread the spirit of the Mo family.
"It's pretty much the same."
Yu Lisheng nodded, "There is a great prayer outside the Xia Dynasty, and there are other countries outside the great prayer, that is, the grandmaster has been on for ten years, and there is still a Buzhou mountain range there."
In this case, how can the Mo family be confined to one place? Although the pearl is precious, the hidden party has lost its own value. ”
Yu Lisheng is still so straightforward, that is, when he praises the Mo family, it is like this, and people can't find a reason to question it.
"I thought you would have another discussion with Confucianism."
Gu Dan was a little surprised, but if you want to say who in the entire Xia Dynasty can accept the Mo family's departure the most, that person is afraid that it will be him.
"Huh. There is a lot of truth that we have been shouting about the morality of the Mo family for 60 years. What the Mohists want is to practice by themselves, not by their tongues. ”
Yu Lisheng said indifferently: "Confucianism is certainly a little commendable, but the brilliance of the grass, how can it be better than the bright moon?" We are meant to shine in all directions, not to be rooted in one place. ”
Although in the territory of the Xia Dynasty, the Mohists were somewhat "defeated and retreated" in the face of Confucianism, but putting aside this fact, only in terms of fame, Confucianism really had to go a little later.
This Mo family giant is stubborn and proud, but he has the capital of stubbornness and pride, which makes people ashamed of themselves.
"Okay."
It is reasonable and reasonable, Gu Dan has no reason to refuse, "But before leaving, I have a gift for you." ”
"What?"
It is inevitable that Yu Lisheng is a little curious, what can be called a gift by Gu Dan.
"Grand Master."
