Chapter 171: Enlightenment

"The so-called good is like water, which means that the highest level of good deeds is like water, and the water is the mother of all things, and it nourishes all things without fighting, and thinks it is the highest good."

The empress is like a student who has been inspected for knowledge, and she is serious:

"This is the sage Boyang Zhenren exhorted the world to pursue selfless dedication and generosity, tolerance, humility and noble virtues, especially the king, only like flowing water nourishes all things, treat the world's virtuous people well, in order to make the country long-term peace and stability, this is also the reason for governing the country."

It can be seen that the empress was still attentive to her studies at the beginning, and almost explained this standard that the score was not bad.

Indeed, the widely circulated explanation of these four words is what the empress just said.

And this explanation has been recognized by the kings of all dynasties, so almost every emperor's imperial study will hang this plaque.

However, for this answer, Lu Chen shook his head inexplicably, obviously a little noncommittal about it.

"What's wrong?"

The empress asked suspiciously.

"Is there something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but this may just be one of the explanations, and it doesn't necessarily mean that Boyang Zhenren meant it."

Lu Chen habitually shrugged his shoulders and continued:

"In the final analysis, Boyang Zhenren has soared tens of thousands of years ago, leaving only a book without any commentary, and the world only knows that it contains countless Dao Zhizhi's "Tao Jing", except for his old man, anyone's understanding of the original meaning of the "Tao Jing" is just a personal opinion."

He folded his hands and looked at the plaque with a strange light in his eyes.

"Throughout the ages, I don't know how many celebrities and sages have comprehended the Tao Te Ching, and compiled their understanding into a book, passed on to future generations, and then, what can make most people firmly believe in it represents the original intention of Boyang Zhenren, and people will tend to what they want to believe, this kind of interpretation of teaching people to be good can easily become the mainstream, after all, it is not bad in itself."

Hearing this, the empress immediately understood what Lu Chen meant, and then couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

Lu Qing's way of thinking always seems to be a little different......

"How does Lu Qing understand these four words?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said slowly:

"Since Your Majesty is interested, then Wei Chen will talk a little bit about the shallow views that Wei Chen has learned from his daily thinking."

He returned to his position, then stretched out his hand, and while holding the teacup, under the curious gaze of the empress, he said slowly:

"In Weichen's view, the original meaning of the word good and the word water in the four characters of goodness and water may not refer to the character of good deeds and water, but the meaning of the form of being good and good at using water."

Hearing this unusual and novel remark, the empress was stunned.

"How?"

Lu Chen set up the teacup and poured two cups of tea on it with a teapot.

"Your Majesty, please see."

He pointed to the tea in the teacup and said indifferently:

"When the water is in a teacup, it can adapt to the teacup and become the shape of a teacup, and in the teapot, it can adapt to the teapot and become the shape of a teapot, and in the river, it can flow down into the sea, and in the lake, it can also flow quietly and wait for the time."

Looking at the tea that Lu Chen pointed to, the empress's face gradually became solemn.

She was already extremely smart and highly perceptive, otherwise it would not have been possible for her to comprehend the Holy Spirit Technique in the Jade Seal under the eyes of the Queen Mother alone, and when she heard Lu Chen say this, she almost instinctively sensed some kind of mystery from these words.

In an instant, all the distracting thoughts disappeared, and the empress's head was completely empty, staring at Lu Chen very seriously, waiting for his next words.

Lu Chen didn't let her wait too long, and after taking a sip of the teacup and cow drink, he continued:

"Water is impermanent, there is no constraint of form, no matter how the external object changes, water can adapt to everything, and the real strong person should be like water, not confined to the form, can change with the change of the external environment, and can maintain the most suitable state to cope with all changes at any time."

As he spoke, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"These four words should indeed be hung in His Majesty's imperial study, after all, this sentence does contain the truth of governing the country."

The empress frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"What's the reason?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly.

"In this world, there is never anything immutable, especially in state affairs, my Great Xia Sanjing 75 provinces, the territory of 100,000 li, the people are gigabytes, such a huge country, all kinds of changes are happening every day, whether it is the number of clans that are constantly skyrocketing, or the land that is constantly swallowed up by the evil gentry, or more and more farmers who have no land to plant, all this will lead to the continuous change of the national situation, just like this ever-changing container, and Your Majesty, as the lord of the world, wants to make Great Xia long-term peace and stability, stretching for thousands of miles, It should be allowed to change like this flowing water, constantly changing its shape to adapt to the new environment, rather than clinging to the incompleteness. ”

The moment the words fell, the empress only felt a flash of clarity in her head.

In an instant, there is a feeling of blessing and empowerment.

Not long ago, he broke through to the realm of returning to the Yuan through enlightenment, and the realm that had finally stabilized was loosened again at this time.

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent...

Adjust the policy strategy in a timely manner according to the changes in national conditions... Just as water adapts to everything, impermanence against impermanence, so that Daxia can adapt to any external changes in the midst of constant change......

Good as water...

I see, this is the real way to govern the country!

……

One thought after another flashed through the empress's mind, and at the same time, the majestic spiritual power in her body suddenly became violently agitated, frantically circulating in the spiritual veins, and then constantly impacting the spiritual walls of the spiritual veins in the extremely rapid evaporation.

After a few breaths—

Bang!!

A golden lightning bolt suddenly flashed in the sky, and then a golden pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky, directly through the colorful glass top above the Zichen Palace, and fell straight on the position where the empress was, directly enveloping her whole person.

“???”

Lu Chen looked at the empress in front of him who was shrouded in a pillar of light with a bewildered expression.

What's the situation?

Immediately after, before he could react, in the pillar of light, countless rays of light quickly converged, forming a golden oval, like a one-person-tall golden egg, standing in front of Lu Chen.

Seeing this familiar scene, Lu Chen finally reacted.

The next second, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.

Nima, enlightened again?

Didn't TMD just come to enlightenment not long ago? How did you become enlightened again so quickly?

Isn't it said that the way of the emperor is the most difficult to understand? Enlightenment for Empress Mao is as simple as eating and drinking?

No matter how talented you are, you have to have a limit, right?

Recalling the last time the empress realized the Tao, the rocket-like cultivation was improved, Lu Chen looked at the golden egg in front of him, and couldn't help but show envy, and at the same time subconsciously complained in his heart.

Lao Tzu is really a humanoid self-propelled plug-in, right?
