Chapter Seventy-One: Confucius
Flowers fall in dreams.
This was the first time Lu Xuan walked out of the storage room by himself.
He stretched out his hand, caught a cherry blossom, held it in his palm, and looked around, looking around, seeing the traffic, vendors and pawns, people coming and going, and fireworks and dust.
It is obviously ancient, but if you want to talk about prosperity and fireworks, it is far better than modern times.
Skyscrapers, cement and steel bars are still a little less humane.
"I've seen Lord Shouzo!" A man guarding the door of the octagonal quadrangular building stepped forward and saluted slightly.
Lu Xuan looked sideways and said politely:
"Your Excellency?"
"Below is the servant of the previous generation of Tibetan historians, responsible for guarding the Tibetan room, and added as a doctor." The guard with a knife at his waist but no armor said respectfully:
"But the imperial court ordered that after more than a month, I will be transferred to Hanguguan, so I am here to resign."
"I see." Lu Xuan looked curiously at the powerful middle-aged man in front of him, and asked softly, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”
"Yin Xi."
Lu Xuan bowed his head and asked politely:
"I wonder if you know if there is a place in the city to send letters?"
Yin Xi was stunned and said:
"I can lead the way."
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head slightly:
"Then thank you, Mr. Yin."
"Your Excellency is in a state of frustration." Yin Xi hurriedly said: "In the next word Wen Gong, the adult will call Wen Gong, I am an adult's subordinate, how can there be any reason for the adult to be called Mr.?" ”
As he spoke, he quietly raised his head and looked at the history of the newly appointed Tibetan Guard, and felt some emotion in his heart.
That's too young......
But people can not be disguised, the duty of guarding Tibetan history, although it is not a real important position, but in this position, you can read the Great Zhou Wannian collection of books day and night, knowledge, insight, etc., are all the first in the world.
Thinking so, Yin Xi bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan thought for a moment, knowing that this place was respectful and orderly, and he didn't stop or shirk it again.
He raised his hand and said:
"Then ask Gong Wen to lead the way."
Yin Xi made a salute and led the way.
After walking for a long time, I came to a quaint high-rise building.
"This is the place where the letter is sent, divided into three, six, nine and so on, the inferior is manpower, and it will take several days to deliver not far away, the medium is the spirit pigeon, which is ten times faster than the manpower, and the top is the divine bird, which is dozens of times faster than the spirit pigeon."
Saying that, Yin Xi took Lu Xuan into the high-rise building, and the building was divided into three areas as he said, and the place where people sent the letter was also overcrowded, and the place where the letter was sent by the spirit pigeon only saw seven or eight rich businessmen.
And the place where the letter was sent by the divine bird was empty.
"If you want to send a letter, you can use the sacred bird, which is originally for officials, and you are the history of the Tibetan Guard, just send them."
Lu Xuan suddenly realized, no wonder there are so few people.
He walked forward with Yin Xi, and under the awe-inspiring gaze of some flat-headed people, rich gentry and wealthy businessmen, he walked to the 'Divine Bird Area', and a small servant hurriedly greeted him, nodding his head.
"Two adults, take a seat here."
The little guy naturally has the eyesight, glanced at the long knife on Yin Xi's waist, and looked at the official uniform that Lu Xuan was already wearing as soon as he fell asleep, his head was lower, and his waist was more bent.
In a moment, he found bamboo slips and a carving knife and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Gentlemen, please."
Lu Xuan held the carving knife, fell on the bamboo slip, and became a book in a moment.
It was to the effect that he greeted Senior Brother Zhang and asked about the spiritual objects that nourished the spirit and spirit at the same time.
Putting down the carving knife, Lu Xuan was slightly puzzled, why the letter that Senior Brother Guangcheng brought for Senior Brother Zhang was paper, but at the moment, it seems that people in the current era do not seem to popularize paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and use bamboo carving knives.
Strange, strange.
The little guy carefully closed the bamboo slip and asked:
"I don't know where or to whom you want to send it?"
Lu Xuan said:
"Send it to Qidi, Qi Huan is close to him, Zhang Ling."
The little guy wrote it down, put away the bamboo slips, and asked cautiously:
"My lord, the divine bird has just sent a letter, it is from Qidi Zhang Ling, and it is going to be sent to the storage room, dare to ask the lordship......"
"My family is the history of today's storeroom." Yin Xi said.
Hearing this, the little guy hurriedly went to hold the sealed bamboo slips and handed them over respectfully.
Lu Xuan's heart was so skillful, he opened the wooden seal, spread out the bamboo slips, and browsed carefully.
[Senior brother Lu Xuan personally opened. 】
[Hey, senior brother, I single-handedly chiseled through the Qin army's military formation, and killed twelve Qin State immortals, and I want to come to Luoyang in a few days, little junior brother, am I majestic? 】
[Well, also, the senior brother got a three-thousand-year-old peach by chance, don't eat it first, and after taking the capital of Qin, bring it back and share half of it, this is a good thing! ] 】
After reading the bamboo slips, Lu Xuan had a smile on his face and whispered imperceptibly:
"Senior brother, I'm waiting for you to become famous all over the world."
After putting away the bamboo slips, he didn't stay long, Lu Xuan, accompanied by Yin Xi, walked back towards the storage room, and the slow way back also made Lu Xuan take a good look at Luoyang City.
The two walked through the downtown area, walked through the bustling road, stepped on the bluestone slab under their feet, Lu Xuan looked around, his face was full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Yin Xi asked with a smile:
"It's the first time you've wandered around Luoyang City?"
"That's true." Lu Xuan bowed his head, although he walked through this bustling street with the teacher last time, the teacher had great powers, and he walked out of the city with him in three or five steps, and he didn't have time to observe carefully.
Yin Xi introduced Lu Xuan in detail at this time.
"There is the Tianma Pavilion, when the common people want to go far away, they will rent high-quality horses here, such as Jiaoma, traveling thousands of miles a day is just idle, and there are more mixed-blooded heavenly horses, stepping on the clouds and the sky, even the celestials are far from being able to compare with its speed."
"This is the sacrificial building, the unique building in Luoyang, is the place to worship the gods, the largest sacrificial building in the palace, every year the Son of Heaven will do a small sacrifice, a big sacrifice every three years, just to pray for the wind and rain, to seek the blessing of the fairy gods, the ancestors of the remaining shade."
"That's ......"
Lu Xuan listened with relish, but his heart was also full of doubts.
Worship the gods, pray for good wind and rain, and ask for the blessing of the gods...... In this era, do you want to listen to the gods?
Shouldn't these be the most basic natural changes, and shouldn't they be carried out by heaven and earth?
Lu Xuan thought about it and asked the doubts in his heart.
Yin Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and he looked at the new Tibetan historian beside him in surprise, he was silent for a long time, and then said:
"Don't hide it, I once asked the previous generation of the Lord of the Tibetan History this question."
"Oh?" Lu Xuan became interested and asked, "What does the teacher say?" ”
"Teacher?"
Yin Xi was stunned again, and then relieved, it turned out to be Master Li's disciple.....
He thought for a moment and explained in a low voice:
"There are some taboos in this matter, and I dare not speak out loud...... Master Li said that before the Zhou Dynasty, our human race was not controlled by the gods, and the human lord was called [Emperor], and the wind and rain and thunder and the sun were also in charge of heaven and earth. ”
As he spoke, Yin Xi's voice lowered:
"And since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the unification of the mountains and rivers in the world, the lord of the people has surrendered to his throne and gone to the [Emperor] and called the [King], also known as the [Son of Heaven], the husband of the Son of Heaven, obeys the mandate of heaven, and the mandate of heaven is for the heavenly court and ......"
Lu Xuan listened carefully and did not interject, Yin Xi's voice was also low and low, and even looked left and right frequently, as if he was afraid that someone would listen.
"Lord Li said, it is also since that time, the wind and rain and thunder and the sun are under the control of the immortal gods, and it is one of the means for the immortals to supervise the human race, if the Son of Heaven does not follow the heavenly court, there should be a great drought, a great flood, a great thunder, etc., falling from the sky and falling to the ground."
Lu Xuan's expression sank suddenly.
Heavenly Court suppresses the world and governs the kings of the world, he does not have much disagreement, after all, his goal is also to suppress the heavens and the world with his own body, and seek the world to be clear with the path of self-supremacy......
However, if the lord of man does not obey the court of heaven, why should he blame the common people?
Yin Xi also sighed at this time:
"At that time, I asked Lord Li why the Son of Heaven was immoral, but the gods condemned the people, and Lord Li only said one sentence, 'The position of the Lord of Man is the same as that of the Emperor of Heaven', and then he did not say more..... I've thought about it for years, but I still can't figure it out. ”
Lu Xuan twisted his eyebrows as he walked, and when he was about to walk downstairs in the octagonal square, his thoughts had already tossed and turned three times and five times.
Looking at the overall situation from the perspective of future generations and outsiders, in a moment, he guessed the reason.
The teacher once said that the heavens, the earth, and the earth are originally the same root, and there is no distinction between high and low, and the lord is also equal to the emperor of heaven.
Then, Heavenly Court probably can't hurt the human master, either because of the personality or because of the luck of the human race, so it seems that what Heavenly Court did can be guessed fundamentally.
It's like when I was a child, I spent the New Year with other children in the shantytown waiting for the fifth grandfather to set off fireworks, if there was a child messing around, the fifth grandfather would not punish him, but just said that everyone would wait for the child to stop making noise before setting off fireworks.
Under the pressure of other children, the noisy children stopped making noise.
The heavenly court has condemned the people, and the people's grievances will not collide with the nine heavens, but only the one on the throne!
Lu Xuan sighed lightly:
"The Son of Heaven is immoral, and the immortals do not condemn the Son of Heaven but to the mountains and rivers and all the people, in order to coerce the people to order the Son of Heaven, but how can the people be innocent? What about the mountains and rivers? This heavenly court ..... That's wrong. ”
Yin Xi's expression changed drastically, he took three steps back, the ground he stepped on rumbled, and he looked left and right, for fear that his words would be heard!
Without waiting for him to speak, someone else spoke.
"The people are innocent, the mountains and rivers are innocent...... the two looked sideways, it was a middle-aged man waiting at the door of the storage room, the middle-aged man looked powerful, full of height and eight feet, strong and fierce, but with elegance.
He bowed to Lu Xuan:
"The words of the gentleman are three points into the wood."
Without waiting for Lu Xuan to speak, Yin Xixian's color changed and asked:
"Who are you? Why? My adults didn't say anything just now! ”
The strong man smiled and said softly:
"This gentleman need not be alarmed, and I do not like the actions of the heavenly court...... My name is Kong Qiu, a person from the Lu country, and I came to visit the history of Tibet. ”
