Chapter 464: Private Interviews with the People
The king and queen of Nanzhao sat opposite each other indoors and tasted tea.
Zhang Zhongliang and Shan entered hand in hand and greeted the king and queen of Nanzhao: "The child greets his father and aunt." ”
The queen beckoned to sit down beside her, asking long and short questions.
King Nanzhao looked at Zhang Zhongliang and boasted: "Emperor, the courtiers have a high evaluation recently, do you have any feelings?" ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "The child is here for this. ”
King Nanzhao: "Come and listen." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "Since ancient times, the way of kings has been based on the theorem that it is not easy to sit in the palace and go to court, but the king is only in the world to play with power, and how to gain insight into the suffering of the people. Therefore, the king's mind and his subjects cannot be connected, and they are even far apart. Children must be determined to surpass the kings of the past dynasties, break their rules, and go against their own ways by going out to patrol and sitting in the court. In this way, we can embrace all rivers and get close to the people. ”
King Nanzhao was greatly pleased: "Very reasonable. ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "Since ancient times, it is not wrong to use scholars and doctors to govern the country, but the fault is only that the literati and scholars stick to the ancient law and do not think about flexibility. In fact, in the mountains and wilderness, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, the three religions and nine streams, can be used. ”
King Nanzhao nodded frequently.
Zhang Zhongliang: "Therefore, the child decided to travel tomorrow and visit the people privately, just to brainstorm and hear the voices of hundreds of schools, thinking that he would govern the country in the future." ”
King Nanzhao: "It's good to leave the palace and go out to relax, although the territory is peaceful now, you must inform the officials along the way when you leave the palace, and strictly protect it." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "The government can protect the road, as for the private visit, as long as the five warriors accompany it, otherwise it will become an official tour, which will cost the people and money, and it is also contrary to the purpose of this trip." ”
King Nanzhao nodded: "Well, the matter of the court?" ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "The child has been arranged. But if the child travels in the future, the second brother can sit in the palace and act as the agent of the state. One is to practice his courage, and the other is to build his prestige, what does the father want? ”
King Nanzhao: "Brothers are of one heart and one mind, but I am afraid that your brother is not up to the task, and he has learned from the past." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "Father, rest assured, the second brother's visit to the palace will impress everyone." ”
When King Nanzhao saw Zhang Zhongliang say this, he could only nod in belief and said, "Then do what the emperor says." ”
"The father is wise, and the child has retired." Zhang Zhongliang said goodbye to the king and queen of Nanzhao and went back to pack some clothes.
……
On this day, Zhang Zhongliang, Shan Dan, and the five great warriors came to the place where they were tired and died of thousands of miles of southward travel in the past.
Zhang Zhongliang, Shan Dan, the five warriors and the guards of the prefect of this state stopped.
At the fork in the road, another group of people lined up to greet them.
Zhang Zhongliang said to the prefect: "The territory ahead is not under your jurisdiction, please go back to your lordship and guards." ”
Prefect: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take care, and the officials will leave." ”
Dismounted: "Right here, my thousand-mile horse is tired to death, but unfortunately, what a good horse, running for two days and two nights in a row." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "It has nothing to do with whether the horses are good or bad. No matter how good a horse is, if it exerts too much effort, it will collapse, and it will not be able to achieve speed. Everything in the world is like this, and it cannot be exhausted. ”
Everyone nodded.
……
That night, Zhang Zhongliang visited Chongershang of the Xinshamen Sect and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Zhang Zhongliang: "I heard that Your Excellency is extremely powerful and has a wide range of knowledge, can you enter the palace?" so that they can teach at any time. ”
Chongershan: "I believe in Shamanism. People in the mountains and wilderness can't climb the hall of elegance. I told the prince with my supernatural powers that the so-called supernatural powers are only because there are many acquaintances and friends, and if you have many ears and eyes, you know everything, and the supernatural powers only summarize and analyze all kinds of rumors and then make a decision. Therefore, if the prince has a thousand ears and eyes, why should he pay a private visit, it is not advisable to do everything himself. ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Chongershang: "Everyone in the world has everyone's business, the monarch does the monarch's business, the people do the people's business, if the monarch does the people's business, the country will not prosper, and if the people do the monarch's business, the country will be chaotic." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "In this way, my private visit is a redundant move. ”
Chongerchamp: "Exactly. ”
He hurriedly glanced at Chongershang and motioned him to stop.
Chongershang pretended not to see it, and still gushed: "In fact, everything in the world is the unity of all laws, and inferences are drawn from one another. ”
Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage bid farewell to Chongershang.
Zhang Zhongliang: "Last night, I had a long talk all night, which was refreshing and benefited a lot, and Master Xie gave me advice." ”
Chongershan; "Where do you want to go, Your Highness?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "Go all the way, visit the fairy trail, check the people's feelings, and be at peace with what happens." ”
Chongerchamp had an epiphany; "Oh, I see, I took the liberty last night, I hope I can forgive me, Prince take care."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Take care, there will be a period later." ”
On this day, Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage came to the cottage where they were kidnapped by bandits that day.
Shan led Zhang Zhongliang into the hall.
The hall was overgrown and desolate.
Only: "Strange, where have all these bandits gone?" ”
The two of them paced out of the hall.
When a woodcutter walked by, he recognized it as the leader of the bandits that day: "Hey, stop, aren't you the little bandit who caught me that day?" ”
The leader of the mountain bandits rested his burden, touched the back of his head, and was quite embarrassed: "The girl laughed and didn't mention the old things, she would have changed her mind a long time ago!" ”
Simply: "Why?" ”
Little mountain bandit: "Soon after the girl left, the officers and soldiers went into the mountains to encircle and suppress us, and arrested all of us and put them in prison. Fortunately, the king of Nanzhao was benevolent, amnesty to the world, and released us, and then the Manjushri immortals taught us the art of farming, so we were at ease from then on, and only good people. ”
Single: "Well, what about Lei Yiheng?" ”
The little mountain bandit became alert: "The girl led people to the mountain immediately, as if she wanted to seek revenge with him." ”
Just: "You don't think nonsense. On that day, he gave me jewelry, a BMW, and I came to thank him. ”
The little mountain bandit pointed to a mulberry field not far away, and someone was sowing in spring: "Look, that is Lei Yiheng, a good farmer, and now he is in the position of Lizheng, and the surrounding miles are already untouched and the night is not closed." ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "Very good, the people are not worried about food and clothing, how can they be easily cowardly." His father was benevolent and saved countless people. As the saying goes, turning back is the shore, if there is no one to educate it, where is the shore? ”
Only: "Do you know where Manjushri lives now?" ”
Little mountain bandit: "In the back mountain, the girl's boudoir in the past, now the Manjushri Immortal lives there, and the villain is willing to lead the way." ”
Zhang Zhongliang walked with Shan Dan and Manjushri.
Zhang Zhongliang: "The master educates the foolish, crosses the sentient beings, and recreates the same merit." ”
Manjushri: "People are mortal beings in the flesh, and the behavior of food, clothing, and shelter is fundamental to survival, if you don't have enough food, you will suddenly have the heart to grab food, and those who are rich in food and clothing will have a lustful heart when they see sex, which is no different from a beast." However, man is a sentient thing, not a plant or a tree, and he will be able to understand the truth. Therefore, when people are wrong, they are wrong again and again, only in the difference of one thought, a little more incarnation of their compassion, if greed is not there, the evil will naturally disappear. ”
Zhang Zhongliang: "It makes sense. ”
Manjushri: "Therefore, the mortal womb of the flesh is the root of iniquity, and the source of human life, old age, sickness, death, suffering, and sin is all here." ”
