Chapter 125: Old Li, Big Li, and Little Li
The piano house that Su Lianrong said is not big, but it is very elegant, located in a remote area, and the environment is quiet. Li Xuandu and Qin Su came to the door of the piano house, but saw more than ten women inside, listening to an old woman playing the piano.
In this Vientiane School Palace, there are also women, but unlike men, there are also children of poor families among men, but women are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The reason is also very simple, a man from a poor family can be an official by the imperial examination, and a carp jumps into the dragon gate, but a woman from a poor family cannot be an official, so naturally she will never want to study. And the woman of the scholar clan will marry in the future, she is the mother of a family, and she must clearly understand the management of a huge mansion, hundreds of children, grange tenants, business partners, and various accounts, although the big families can ask Mr. to set up a school, but the reputation of the Vientiane School Palace is outside, and the rules are strict, and there are still many families who choose to send their children here. To put it militarily, officialdom pays attention to a classmate, in the same year, there are so many court officials in the Vientiane School Palace, even if their children can't learn any subtle words, they can accumulate some connections early, it is also excellent, in the future, their classmates became feudal officials, central cabinet ministers, and their faces are also bright.
The two of them did not rush in and listened outside.
Qin Su has been with Li Xuandu for a long time, and he has learned to be poor-mouthed and poor-tongued, Li Xuandu is the same, he is no longer ignorant of music and rhythm, as the so-called familiar reading of 300 poems, he can't make poems and can chant, Li Xuandu is like this, let him touch the piano himself, that is absolutely impossible, but just let him listen, he can also hear some good and bad.
In his opinion, this old woman's skills can not be described as unskilled, but a little less spiritual, just like practicing swords, some people have practiced swords all their lives, do not know how to be flexible, abide by the old rules, and will never become a top swordsman, let alone improve the sword moves of their predecessors, the same is true for those who want to play the piano, no matter how much they learn from others, it is also someone else's, without their own things, they can't be called everyone.
After finishing the song, a sharp-eyed woman spotted the two people standing outside the piano house and said, "The two of you look at the face, it doesn't seem to be from our T-shaped courtyard." β
Because of the huge area of the Vientiane School Palace, it is divided into ten courtyards with ten heavenly stems, and at this time Li Xuandu is located in the T-shaped courtyard.
Li Xuan didn't know how to answer, but Qin Su was experienced, and said with a smile: "We are from the Renzi Academy." β
The distance between the non-shaped temple and the T-shaped courtyard is the farthest, so it is the least easy to show the filling.
Sure enough, the woman suddenly said: "I have seen the sisters who are close to the C-shaped courtyard and the Wuzi-courtyard, no wonder this sister is very raw, it turned out to be from the non-character courtyard." β
She then asked, "I wonder what's wrong with my sister?"
Qin Su said: "Su Saijiu let us wait for her here." β
As soon as these words came out, several other women also turned their heads to look, and there was no contempt or disdain in their eyes, but some envy. From this point of view, Su Lianrong has a good reputation in the school palace, after all, she came out of the imperial capital, and it is still easy to deal with these people's affairs.
The old woman also looked up, with a little displeasure on her face, and said lightly: "I remember that everyone Su doesn't have to teach today, even if you want to use the piano house, you have to say it in advance, so that others can be prepared." β
Qin Su said: "Maybe everyone Su forgot about it in a hurry, and I ask this gentleman to forgive me." β
The old woman snorted coldly: "What about the Su family, are you in a hurry to come in person?"
Li Xuan understood that the Su family had a good reputation among the students, but the relationship with other sacrificial wines may not be very good, which is also inevitable, and peers are enemies.
Where has Qin Su usually experienced these flies and dogs, those with low status are afraid of her family background, and dare not do so, those with higher status than her are big people, and they don't care about it like this, so Qin Su is also a little at a loss at this time. Li Xuandu has experienced this kind of thing, but most of the time he speaks with his fists, and besides, what the old woman said is reasonable, but her tone is a little annoying.
At this moment, an old man with a clear leprophyllum, dressed in a black crane, approached, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with so many people gathered here?"
Several women followed the prestige, although they didn't know the identity of the old man, but they saluted one after another, calling them "sir", after all, at such an old age, he would never be a student who was studying, and this statement was decent, and nothing could go wrong.
But the old woman was astonished, and she saluted respectfully.
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It was the old man who asked Su to borrow the wine from the piano house, without prior notice, it was the old man's, and the old man confessed first." β
The old woman was flattered and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." β
After that, the old woman beckoned several women to say goodbye and leave, not half a nonsense, but willingly.
A person of a noble position does not have to condescend to the dignity of a person, as long as he treats him normally, it is enough to make the people of the humble person grateful.
The old man made a "please" gesture to Li Xuandu and said, "Mr. Xiao Li has come from afar, please come to the piano house to speak." β
The three of them entered the piano house, took off their shoes, stepped on the wooden floor that rose above the ground, and sat cross-legged on the cushions, regardless of priority.
The old man asked: "On the 15th of August, Mr. Li had already sent someone to inquire about the old man's intentions, but what was Mr. Li doing in person for this time? β
Li Xuandu said: "Naturally not. Xuandu came here to ask the big sacrificial wine about the emperor's capital. β
The old man said with a smile: "The matter of Beibi Mountain is still unresolved, and Mr. Xiao Li has already begun to plan to return to the imperial capital? Although it is said that there are three steps to take on the chessboard, Mr. Xiao Li is thinking too far. β
Li Xuandu said: "Don't hide the big sacrificial wine, the battle between good and evil that started from the change in Xijing is really unexpected to me, but returning to the imperial capital is something I have been thinking about since the second year of Tianbao." β
Sikong Grand Sacrificial Wine nodded and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao Li wants to know, or what does he want the old man to promise?"
Li Xuandu said: "It's too early to say this, the younger generation just wants to ask the big sacrificial wine a question." β
Sikong Grand Priest said: "But it doesn't hurt to ask. β
Li Xuandu said after a slight sigh: "The so-called general trend of the world, the general trend of division and integration is irreversible, such as the weather is very bad today, the case of open fire is out of nowhere, the people are everywhere, the people are hungry all over the field, the people are poor and the wealth is exhausted, and even the states are gradually becoming divided.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Su was taken aback. Li Xuandu's words can be described as a great rebellion, and it actually implies the meaning of changing the dynasty, from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for the court to say that Li Xuandu is a thief.
Sikong Grand Sacrificial Wine was also quite surprised, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The world has been unified for a long time, and it is bound to be tamed to the point of separation. However, if the main morality is heavy, the atmosphere is not opened, or if it is not a bad heart, the situation of collapse will not be achieved. β
Li Xuandu frowned and said, "What about the former dynasty?"
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine said: "Although the Great Jin Junde is upright, but the country is strong, and the food report is no longer unkind. It is too easy to start a business at the beginning of the country, so it is too clever to seize the world. The way of heaven is difficult to know, good and evil do not hide each other, and the virtue of the queen is not enough. Emperor Taizu of this dynasty rose up in the people in order to be self-sufficient, at the beginning there was no idea of the Yellow House, and then the people were miserable, and began to take the hands of the land heroes and settle it, so since the three generations to return, the righteous person of the world, not as in this dynasty. You can't generalize. β
Li Xuandu fell into deep thought.
The meaning of Sikong Great Sacrifice Wine is very clear, the time is not enough, and the Great Wei Guozuo has not yet reached the time when the gas is exhausted. Li Xuandu took the Great Jin Dynasty as an example, and the Great Sacrificial Wine was the most positive refutation of winning the country in this dynasty. The so-called winning the country is the most right, which refers to taking the world with a three-foot sword in cloth, not the uncle taking the world of his nephew, or the father-in-law taking the world of his grandson, the latter can be summed up: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished." β
Li Xuandu said again: "Looking at the past and the present, it is just the internal change of imperial power without a bottom-up innovation, and the national throne will not last long." β
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine stroked his beard and said: "Confucianism has a saying: 'Kill, the minister kills the king.'" 'If you raise an army as a local hero, you will win the world, and you will kill the king with your courtiers, and it will be unjust to win the country. β
Li Xuan disagreed: "The words of the Confucian sage are contradictory, the sage said that the courtier cannot kill the king, otherwise it will be unjust." But the sage also said, 'The king is to the people, especially the father is to the son, and the son kills the father, but the people kill the king, which is equivalent to killing the father.'" According to Confucianism, if a courtier cannot kill a king, and the people cannot kill a king, has it not become a family for all generations? Those who are kings have been kings from generation to generation, and those who have been ministers for the people have been subjects from generation to generation. β
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine was not angry, and said: "Don't you hear the words of Yasheng: 'Hear the only king, not the king.'" 'If a ruler loses the will of heaven, he is a thief to the people, and everyone will be punished. β
Li Xuandu did not fully agree with the statement of Sikong Great Sacrifice Wine, but it was irrefutable.
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine continued: "Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty of the previous dynasty took the world of orphans and widows as a military general, and pushed others by himself, first of all, he took strict precautions against military generals, and planned military affairs with literati, and the results can be imagined. In order to get the recognition and support of the family, he did not suppress the merger. All dynasties regarded land annexation as a great enemy, and even if it could not be completely curbed, it was necessary to find ways to slow it down. First, because the people with land are the main source of taxes, and the good family is also the best source of soldiers, and the second is because the suppression of annexation can effectively prevent the emergence of landless and displaced people. In order to prevent the displaced people from rising up, the imperial court formed a box army, which was not trained, but only used for labor, resulting in redundant soldiers without combat power. In order to prevent the big families from dominating the court, they had to let go of the imperial examination and absorb a large number of children from the poor family in order to balance, resulting in redundant officials. All these are the manifestations of the unrighteousness of winning the country. If Mr. Xiao Li wants to help the dragon, I am afraid that he will follow the old road of the Great Jin, and he must not ignore it. β
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine smiled: "The old man has read history over the years and found a very interesting thing, although the righteous people are cruel to the heroes, but they are lenient to the descendants of the previous dynasty, because the new dynasty was not established by relying on the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty has no chance to use the new dynasty to restore." And the usurper is just the opposite, helpless against the heroes and magnates, but against the clan of the previous dynasty, it is exterminated, without him, the foundation is not solid. This is also one of the reasons why the country of the unrighteous does not last long. β
Sikong Grand Sacrificial Wine paused for a moment, and said slowly: "I have said too many big truths, and I think Mr. Xiao Li is not very convinced, so the old man will say a few words that are not so on the stage." Without the Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty, there would have been other powerful people who would have bullied orphans and widows, but without Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, who would have been able to expel the Golden Horde and restore the orthodoxy of the artifact? The key lies in whether power can be concentrated in one place; if power is dispersed, infighting intensifies, and government decrees are not passed, how can the country last for a long time? Those who are not righteous in the country have limited real power because there are few people who are convinced, and they are like high-rise buildings that are like papier-mΓ’chΓ© buildings, and they will fall down as soon as they are blown. If you can hold great power and the government decree is unimpeded, you will win the country and the world for 300 years. On the contrary, although the country is right, it has failed to collect power and centralize power, and it is difficult to escape the result of the death of the second generation. β
Li Xuandu was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Chengjiao." β
Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine got up and said: "Mr. Xiao Li, the old man sent you the last word, the imperial capital is now the territory of the old Mr. Li, if you want to do something to the imperial capital, it is destined to be unable to bypass the old Mr. Li, plus Li Yuanying, who wants to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, the old man is very curious, if one day there is only one Mr. Li left in this world, which Mr. Li will be?"
