Chapter 7: Seeking
In the early morning, the birds chirped happily in the yard, and in the yard, the palace maids came and went, and at this moment Mu Sheng was hiding in the study to study the silk book, and Yun'er was also quietly reading next to him.
Mu Sheng stared at the cultivation map in front of him and looked at it again and again, but he didn't see a reason, he was naturally very hopeful in his heart that this was the so-called Li Tianshi to come here quickly and guide him on how to cultivate, he was too much to look forward to this kind of adventure that could only be encountered in novels, and he could do anything, but now he had been informed of Xiao Li Tianshi for several days, and there was still no news.
"Childe, Lord Zhao is here." The temple people came to the study to report.
When Mu Sheng heard this, he hurriedly got up to greet him, the person who came was his teacher, and he was also his cheap uncle in this world, ranked Jiuqing, an absolute high-ranking official and important minister, and the number of courtesies must be sufficient, this Lord Zhao had only met him on the hospital bed at that time, and he didn't know how to behave.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that Lord Zhao was walking towards him, Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to his disciple and said, "Uncle, good morning." ”
Zhao Shu has always had a straight face, seemingly upright, but he couldn't see the change in his expression on his face.
Zhao Shu bowed his head slightly and said, "Sheng'er, how is your body cultivated?" Is it better? ”
"Well, don't worry, uncle, I'm much better now."
Zhao Shu looked him up and down for a long time, and saw that Mu Sheng's face was ruddy, and his whole body was full of energy, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Imperial Doctor Li's methods are indeed clever. ”
With that, the two entered the study one after the other.
"Sheng'er, how did you complete the homework I assigned to you last time?"
Mu Sheng heard the words and began to recite these ancient classics throughout, put it aside, although his IQ was average, he couldn't do mathematics, physics and chemistry, but fortunately, his memory was still very good, and it was very smooth to recite it throughout, the ancient classics of this world are many sage thoughts, all kinds of classic books are not much different from many ancient documents in later generations, but the names are not the same, the core ideas of Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, and Law are still similar, although the names are different, this different world has only experienced the Warring States Period for many years, That's all there is to the mainstream school of thought.
Zhao Shu listened to Gongzi Sheng's recitation, and was very satisfied, "Hmm! Very good, the classic I want to teach Childe today is Xunzi three articles......"
After the end of the morning's lectures, Mu Sheng respectfully took the disciple to see Zhao Shu go away, he returned to the study and picked up the book in his hand and was stunned for a while, fortunately, this world has not yet developed into a systematic natural science, mathematics, physics and chemistry and other things, otherwise it is really difficult for him as a liberal arts student, although mathematics, physics and chemistry are the foundation and core of promoting social progress.
Mu Sheng remembered that Zhao Shu asked him to practice the Xunzi classics just now, which basically explained all kinds of etiquette, benevolence and filial piety, fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers, and there was a lot of taste of Confucian classics in later generations, all of which were big truths, and he originally wanted to ask some questions in other classics, such as some political thoughts, the history of the vassal states in the past, and so on.
Although Zhao Shaofu was surprised that Gongzi Sheng was idle and had nothing to study these things, he still patiently explained, and before leaving, he still emphasized that he should focus on studying the classics of the saints, and the understanding of the etiquette system, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.
Only then did Mu Sheng react, if a prince with an ordinary status in this era is not the heir of the prince or something, he will basically not teach you any imperial studies, what history, what politics, the ideas of governing the country in various countries, system construction, etc......
These things are not important to you, and you have no chance of inheriting the throne, so what are you teaching these things for? Eat the life of gutter oil, the heart of the United Nations? Ordinary princes and grandsons are raised as pigs, and you don't need to govern the country, just get by with the cultural class.
The most typical is the younger brother of the vassal prince of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, in addition to breeding, it really can't do anything, which leads to the Southern Ming Dynasty to support the local feudal king of the emperor is basically a mascot, living in the temple can not unify the forces of all parties, and lacks the most basic means of governing the country, the basic plate of the Southern Ming Dynasty is actually much better than the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end it is difficult to escape the fate of the country's ruin, and even a corner of the river can not be governed.
Of course, they also fought with each other among the various power groups within the Southern Ming Dynasty, completely ignoring the threat from the north, the country was ruined and the family was ruined, and those literati and doctors who lived above the temple were still fighting in the house, I really don't know who they raised in the Ming Dynasty?
Now that I think about it, although Song Gaozong Zhao Gou is not a top-notch emperor, but in the face of the chaos in the late Northern Song Dynasty, he can do the rule of the river, a corner of peace, and he can also cultivate Yue Fei under his hands, and a peerless famous general like Han Shizhong can barely be called a first-class emperor among the second-rate emperors.
Sometimes there are far more people behind your back than you think, and the reality is far more complex and changeable than you think, and people's hearts are always elusive.
The kind of protagonist in film and television dramas Once he accepts a major event, or sits in a high position, the king's domineering spirit is shocked, and all kinds of powerful characters compete to join him, sweeping the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment......
The treatment of the prince of the empire is different, that is the future heir of the country, it is related to the sloppiness of the country, from ancient times to the present dynasties, in addition to the particularly wonderful, from top to bottom to the education of the heir of the empire is very important, not only to see your character, but also to teach you the means of governing the country and the art of the emperor with the emperor, not only to teach, but also to practice regularly.
The princes and emperors are generally selected and appointed by the emperor himself, and they are very good at handling government affairs in the officialdom, proficient in the ideas of various schools, have experience in grassroots training, and are consistent with the current emperor's governing philosophy......
The crown prince's official position is generally not high, and when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, because the relationship between the emperor and the emperor basically has to become the leader of the next leadership team, and now the fourth brother of the prince Cui Yan is also married to the prince, or when he is the right prime minister, this arrangement is a bit too much, which will lead to the political forces around the prince being too large, and the emperor with average ability can't suppress it.
Maybe it may be that the current emperor is the hero who swept away the vassal states and unified the world, his ability and prestige belong to the top, and the problem is not big, and there is also a possibility that the prince is very trusted by the emperor, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's prince Zhu Biao back then, the prince's party is a variety of luxury top lineups, if it weren't for the prince's untimely death, it would not have been Zhu Di's turn to rebel against Jingjing later.
Mu Sheng thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed silently, took out the silk book and studied it carefully......
At this moment, Yun'er suddenly came to the study.
"Childe, Xiao Li Tianshi has replied, his master Li Tianshi will be here in the afternoon, please wait patiently."
"Childe, let's prepare to burn incense and bathe to welcome the Heavenly Master......"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the heavenly master who can spell spells in this era is not much different from the living immortals, and even today's son also has great respect for these hermits who see the head and end of these dragons.
Mu Sheng heard the words and lay down in the bathtub, feeling the comfort of Yun'er's softness rubbing around on his body, at this moment he was also very looking forward to seeing such a living immortal, his heart was so excited that he couldn't do it, and he wanted to raise his right hand again, wahahahaha, shout I am a boiled egg superman, and then he quickly dispelled this idea, don't scare Yun'er again......
After Mu Sheng bathed and changed his clothes, he waited in the courtyard for about half an hour, and the guard at the door suddenly came to report, "Qi Yu Gongzi, the Heavenly Master asks to see you." ”
"Hurry up, please." Mu Sheng said with some excitement in his expression.
Mu Sheng hurriedly got up and greeted the door, and there was a man in ordinary clothes standing outside the door, who looked to be in his thirties.
Mu Sheng was a little shocked when he saw this.
According to Yun'er, this Li Tianshi is already 100 years old, and he is still black-haired and childish at this age? Do these living immortals really know the art of immortals?
There was a young man standing next to Li Tianshi, probably the little Li Tianshi, whose white face looked a little handsome.
Mu Sheng was a little shocked by Li Tianshi's true face and his completely incommensurate age, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward to salute his disciple and took the initiative to greet: "Master, senior brother, I haven't seen my apprentice for many days, I miss it very much. ”
When Li Tianshi heard this, he said indifferently, "The prince doesn't need to be polite, the poor Dao is originally a scattered person, thanks to the respect of today's saints, these laymen don't need to be polite." ”
Mu Sheng hurriedly opened the door and said, "Master, please come into the house to speak." ”
Li Tianshi was not polite, and walked straight into the mansion, after Mu Sheng and this cheap master entered the living room, Yun'er also carefully served hot tea to this living immortal, and then exited the door.
Li Tianshi turned his head to Xiao Li Tianshi who was standing next to him and said, "Chen'er is a teacher, there are some things to discuss with Gongzi secretly, you can avoid it." ”
"Yes, master." After saying that, Senior Brother Li Chen withdrew from the lobby.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng hurriedly got up to give a gift to his senior brother, but the master pressed his hand and said, "It's okay, we cultivators don't care much about these vulgar rituals." ”
Mu Sheng said hesitantly, "Master, I don't know where to start......
Li Tianshi said, "You don't need to say it, I know that you forgot everything about a serious illness, right?" ”
"Master Mingjian."
When Li Tianshi heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "The reason why I came today is not for Sheng'er, but for you." ”
Hearing this, Mu Sheng's heart suddenly froze there like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and at this moment he subconsciously wanted to escape from this place immediately, if people knew that he was a dove occupying the magpie's nest, it would definitely be burned to death on the spot as an evil demon dao, right?
Crossing through rebirth is the biggest secret in Mu Sheng's heart, this living immortal is good, he will be seen through when he looks at it,, Mu Sheng really wants to grow a pair of invisible wings now, and the farther he flies, the better......
Mu Sheng forced himself to calm down, his tone was slightly panicked, and said, "Master, I... This... What do you mean by that...... I don't understand well. ”
Li Tianshi's words frightened Mu Sheng into a cold sweat, his whole body was weak, not to mention running away now, his legs didn't even have the strength to stand up, he understood that at this time, he could only grit his teeth and not admit that there might be a glimmer of life.
Cheap master Li Tianshi seemed to have seen through Mu Sheng's strong pretense of calmness, and said, "Poor Dao has already calculated Sheng'er's life, it was a premature death, a month ago, Yang Shou should have been exhausted, unexpectedly, the old man calculated with his heart, I see that there is purple qi in the West descending on the world, but I didn't expect it to be you, to be honest, Sheng'er suddenly came back to life Poor Dao was also a little shocked, and I came here today to verify the conjecture in Poor Dao's heart." ”
Li Tianshi carefully studied Mu Sheng's complexion, and continued, "But don't worry, no second person will know about this matter, I am still your master, and you are still my apprentice, the mysteries of the universe, mortals can't know one or two of them in their lives, we are cultivators, follow the destiny of heaven, you don't have to panic too much, you only have one word of persuasion for the teacher, less killing, and great goodness." ”
Hearing this, Mu Sheng was a little relieved, less killing, what is good? People who don't even dare to kill a chicken themselves, still kill? People who see insects crawling on the ground and want to take a detour...... Could it be that this means that the master will cultivate into a big devil who kills people and drinks blood in the future? No way...... Such a kind person himself?
Li Tianshi seemed to see the doubts in Mu Sheng's heart, and then said, "Servitude to cause others to kill is also your own karma, you must always keep it in mind. ”
Although he was confused, Mu Sheng hurriedly replied respectfully, "The apprentice always remembers the master's teachings......
