Chapter 66 Doing nothing
The next day, two o'clock.
Zhao Rong got up and washed, after so many busy days, he finally slept peacefully, although he was still worried about the heart made of the Kui Niu Demon Pill that he didn't know where he was missing, but he also vaguely knew that he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.
He picked up the morning exercises and morning classes that he had put down for a few days, bathed in the first rays of the morning, and walked on the pile in the forest one hundred and eighty steps behind the courtyard.
A thin mist slowly crept through the gaps in the thick forest, and countless particles wandered in the golden morning light that leaked through the cracks in the leaves.
Zhao Rong completed the three hundred times of lazy boxing in "Negative Mountain", felt that there was still no innate vitality in his body, and shook his head with a wry smile, and he didn't know when he would find that innate vitality.
Yesterday evening, Liu Sanbian came to him, checked his progress and condition, and the yin owl man, who was a little dull when he didn't drink, comforted him and took his time, and left.
Zhao Rong wiped his neck with a sweat towel, returned to the yard, washed his face, and laid paper and ink in front of the table, ready to practice calligraphy, the breeze outside the window came slowly, Zhao Rong turned his head at will, took a breath of fresh cool breeze, looked through the lattice hole of the lightly hidden lattice window, and caught a glimpse of the cliff carving, and his heart moved.
He carefully looked at the distant sky, the faint four-character stone carving, combined with the impression in his memory, slowly put pen to paper, and copied on the paper.
When he looked up for the first time, he was deeply impressed by the ancient stone calligraphy.
Speaking of the four words "quiet and inaction", it is indeed the Taoist thought and healing technique.
He knew that the conflict between the Lanxi Lin clan and Chong Xuguan was actually here.
Doing something, or not doing anything.
Chong Xuan Guan believes that it is the best plan to implement the rule of inaction in the general direction, maintain the model of a small country and widows, and hand over those trivial matters to Confucian scholars to manage in the small direction.
One thing to note is that Chong Xuguan is Taoism, not Taoism, Taoism has the art of governing the country, but Taoism has its own limitations, it is based on practice, and governing the country is just a piggyback thing, because it controls the Zhongnan Kingdom, which is to better absorb the rich cultivation resources of Zhongnan Mountain.
And Chong Xuguan knows that if everyone practices quietly and inactively, and no one does practical things, then the country will not last long, so in the absence of a Taoist who governs the world, it is in their interests to support some Confucian forces and let Confucian scholars do things in the middle and lower levels, and the one who holds the bull's ear is the Lanxi Lin clan.
In fact, before Lin Wenruo, the Lanxi Lin clan, or the Confucianism of the Zhongnan Kingdom, has always been compromised with the Taoist forces led by Chong Xuguan, after all, the king of Zhongnan invited the Great Confucianism to govern the country was acquiesced by Chong Xuguan, and Chong Xuguan, as the first comer, has a deep foundation in the Zhongnan Kingdom, and it is difficult for the latecomers to shake it.
However, slowly, looking back on the history of the southern kingdom in the past hundreds of years, this group of Confucian scholars led by Lin Wenruo found that Taoism as the mainstay, supplemented by Confucianism, in the general direction of the way of governing the country without doing anything will not work, and something must be done, that is, "promising".
The new law came into being, this time the new law is different from the previous thunderous rain and small "changes" in the south of the country, was strongly promoted by a certain Confucian student, the implementation is very thorough, so it also touched the backlash of the inherent interest class, if the existing power structure of the south country is continued, the new law can not be implemented.
Therefore, Lin Wenruo single-handedly directed this Confucianism and Taoism debate, which was to remove the obstacles that he thought hindered the progress of the carriage of Zhongnanguo at the root, and completely grasp the authority.
While thinking about it, Zhao Rong copied the four-character stone carving, and the scripture copying lurking some time ago exercised his ability to use two minds.
He squinted, and suddenly remembered Lin Wenruo's drunken words when he had a heart-to-heart exchange in the Lake Heart Pavilion on a moonlit night.
At that time, the Confucian who was not drunk but had been intoxicated by the night of Zhongnan was holding a guqin, leaning on the railing, looking out of the pavilion, unable to see his expression clearly, but his tone was calm.
"Obviously has the most abundant resources, occupy the time and place, but has been resting on its laurels, for thousands of years, the land has not made any inch, and the system is becoming more and more erosive, problems emerge one after another, and look around, Da Chen has a Legalist law, the Northern Qi has a famous general and a strong army, the Southern Wei has a capable minister to govern, and the strong enemy is around, and finally South Africa is a corner of peace, it is a place to fight, but now, internal and external troubles, dangerous as a tired egg. ”
"Is it because I don't have a boy in the end?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong suddenly stopped writing and looked at the four characters on the paper.
"Quiet and inaction. ”
The contradiction between the Lanxi Lin clan and Chong Xuguan is a dispute over governing the country on the surface, but in fact it is the epitome of the dispute between the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism in the Xuanhuang realm.
This is the fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.
It involves the dispute between ancient and modern, the dispute between morality, and the dispute between heaven and man.
Although he is now a Confucian student, he once looked at this issue from an objective perspective in order to complete the graduation thesis on the pre-Qin princes in his previous life.
He supported the down-to-earth Confucianism, but he did not hate Taoism, on the contrary, he also admired the high avenue of Taoism.
However, in his opinion, the "method of inaction" promoted by Chong Xuguan is not among them.
This is also one of the reasons why he agreed to Lin Wenruo to participate in tomorrow's Confucianism and Taoism debate, not just because of the kind invitation of his friends.
"Zhao Rong, Zhao Rong ......"
His thoughts were interrupted by the soft call of the little fox demon outside the door.
Zhao Rong stopped writing, cleaned up a little, and went out to accompany Su Xiaoxiao to her yard for breakfast.
This little girl shouted yesterday that she had learned a peerless cooking skill from the cook lady, and this morning she was going to make him a hearty breakfast that not only grew her brain but also replenished her body, saying that if he didn't finish eating, he wouldn't give her the face of the "fox fairy little chef".
Zhao Rong glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's big fox eyes, looked at him with blank eyes, took a deep breath, and in the little fox demon's expectant gaze, he had to swallow the bun that was bigger than his face and didn't eat the stuffing after eating half of it, huh?
Okay, you Su Xiaoxiao, is this handprint yours?
Reach out with your hands behind your back!
No wonder the bun is so big, you can pinch the whole dough at will when you put it together, and it will be directly filled, do you have such a bun?
Zhao Rong left Su Xiaoxiao's courtyard with tears and laughter, and went out to run errands, and today he had to try his luck again to try his luck with the appearance of the void to see if he could find the hearth.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her little snow-white hand that was red by the bad guy who ate her hard work and bullied her early, but when she saw the clean plate on the stone table, she tilted her head and squinted and smiled, hummed a song, and cleaned it up.
She thought, don't sleep lazy in the future, get up early to make breakfast and eat, well, by the way, make some for him, just by the way.
————
The sun rose and slowly fell, and in the afternoon, Zhao Rong returned to the manor with a tired body.
This trip to Taibai Mountain found nothing, there is no clue about the heart of the heart, it has been long enough to "visit" in the view, and then stay there, it will be very conspicuous, maybe you will meet the cold Taoist girl who met on the winding mountain road yesterday, and it will be over if you are recognized, so Zhao Rong had no choice but to return.
Gui couldn't help but say: "It's really not good, forget it, practice on the mountain, don't be obsessed with it." The Liji Sword Pill that was almost complete, this seat looked back and thought of a way to see if it could be reused, as for the Thunder Neon Purple Gold Furnace, although it lacked the furnace heart and could not be used, but its material was a rare Thunder Ni Purple Gold, let's melt it back and make it the refining material for your Natal Flying Sword in the future. ”
Zhao Rong nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and returned to the courtyard.
It's just that he just rested for a while, and saw a slender man outside the courtyard, with large sleeves and wide robes, no shoes, carrying a black and red covered wine jar, pushing the door in.
