Chapter 150: Heaven's Will Is Hard to Disobey
"Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, sorrow hurts the lungs, thoughts hurt the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. Beware of calmness, the five internal organs can be clear and clear, and there is nothing, as if a hundred exercises to strengthen the body." Where the voice came from, Fang Xiaoru was smiling and groaning. Han Santong and Xi Zhen hurriedly got up to greet him, and Fang Xiaoru signaled Xi Zhen not to move and sat down.
"Shaoxia's complexion is much better today, this is a great joy!" Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but grab Xi Zhen's wrist, nodded and smiled while trumpeting: "It's already getting solid, the body and mind still need to be regulated, there is no joy and no sorrow, the young man is a martial arts master, he shouldn't not understand this truth!"
Xi Zhen looked ashamed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Mr. Xizhi for taking care of me for a few days, I will take the liberty to disturb Mr. Qingxiu, I hope Mr. will not be surprised." ”
Fang Xiaoru said slowly: "How can Xiaoyou be so polite, you and I are old friends, why do you need to be so polite? I still remember that when Xiaoyou rode alone and visited Xuancheng at night, I regarded you as a forgetful year, and drank all night. Xiaoyou is not only excellent in martial arts, excellent in swordsmanship, but also in poetry, and the old man is deeply envious. As soon as Fang Xiaoru saw Xi Zhen, he recalled that the two of them drank poems at night in Xuancheng.
"Last night I had a dream, and I woke up with a lot of fear. It is said that there are 30,000 armor, and the beans are also soldiers. The first battle was bloody with golden swords, and the border was on its own. The stele wolf Juxu, the Son of Heaven left my name. Fang Xiaoru was still unsatisfied, so he read the poems of the two at that time, and Xi Zhen was emotional, and Xi Zhen didn't feel that he was with Fang Xiaoru, reading it, and he was embarrassed.
"Mei Daxia led a group of disciples to carry you to me, and you and I almost became an eternal secret. Fortunately, God has eyes and cannot let the loyal people be dusted. Now that he sees Xiaoyou's injury, the old man is happy in his heart, and the old man can finally be worthy of the friendship of the old man. ”
Xi Zhen said with a guilty face: "It's a pity, but I have no shame to see the old man, I didn't prevent the tragedy from happening, and I can't do anything about many things." ”
Fang Xiaoru said: "Otherwise, the so-called ten thousand laws of all things have a fixed number, and sometimes the will of heaven is difficult to violate." I heard Han Daxia talk about what happened to you in Lushan, according to the old man, the real husband of the money shopkeeper did not hesitate to die in order to protect the dragon vein. But, maybe this is the will of heaven? It's just a pity for all living beings!" As he spoke, Fang Xiaoru's voice became heavier and heavier.
Xi Zhen asked Fang Xiaoru with a solemn face: "Mr. Xizhi, I have a question that I have always wanted to know the answer to, Mr. has studied the past and the present, and is proficient in the essence of the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. So is this feng shui dragon vein true or legend?"
Fang Xiaoru said modestly: "Xiaoyou has put on a very high hat for the old man, the old man has indeed read some books, but he is proficient in the theory of the three schools of interpretation, Taoism and Confucianism, but he looks down on the old man too much." In my view, this matter cannot be discussed separately, but should be judged comprehensively in the light of the current situation. ”
"Then how should I make a comprehensive judgment?" Xi Zhen and Han Santong asked in unison.
Fang Xiaoru asked Pei Feng to fetch water and make tea, Pei Feng naturally knew what it meant, Fang Xiaoru wanted to support himself, in order to facilitate the discussion between the three of them, Pei Feng went happily.
Fang Xiaoru looked at Pei Feng's distant back and said with a smile: "The old man has not congratulated Xi Shaoxia yet, if the sea is a confidant and the end of the world is next to each other, this happy wine, the old man must drink it, and you must also make up for the old man." This prodigal son at the end of the world is now also married, not only has a foothold in the rivers and lakes, but also has the joy of family, which is gratifying. ”
"Isn't this the kind of day that ordinary people are pursuing? There are friends to teach and affection to be found outside, and there are wives and wives working inside, and children are around their knees, enjoying the joy of family. This kind of life is what everyone yearns for! The emperors of every dynasty and generation have actually wanted to make achievements in this area. This is true of all the wise men and tyrants we talk about today. For example, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, went on an expedition to Goguryeo, just for the peace of the territory and the peace of the people. The construction of the Grand Canal, the two of you think, now the shipping of this canal, will benefit the people of the world?"
Xi Zhen obviously heard such an argument for the first time, and what Fang Xiaoru said was indeed right.
"It's just that that position is really tempting, and if you sit in that seat, everything in the world will be in your pocket. No matter who you are, in the face of the supreme power in the world, you will lose your own nature, including family affection. Tang Taizong was the emperor of the ages, but who was the one who killed his brother in the Xuanwu Gate change? The lord of the Tang Ming Emperor's Zhongxing, but how tragic was the ending of his aunt, Princess Taiping? It's just that whether it is Taizong or Xuanzong, the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty have covered up their mistakes. ”
Fang Xiaoru looked around and said in a low voice: "Now that the saint is dying, he is even more suspicious, so there will be more killings. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, he also wants the dynasty to be stable for a long time and the people to be prosperous, so that he can leave his name in history. What about after the killing? You need to show tenderness in order to show the king's bearing, which is also the way of the king. The first prince Zhu Biao was gentle and kind-hearted, and he was a good candidate for Huairou, but unfortunately died young. His son, who is also your brother-in-law, Zhu Yunwen, has always been kind and gentle, and he wants to rule by doing nothing. But how could his uncles, the princes and grandsons who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had made many military exploits, succumb to him at a young age?"
"This is the current situation, the kings of Zhou, Dynasty, and Qi all have lawlessness, but Yan Wang Zhida. The unicorn will be a product of Yanwang, and Yao Guangxiao is also the think tank of Yanwang. The saint also knew what King Yan was thinking and what he had done, but he couldn't treat him like those nobles. Because he only has one Yan King who can defeat the Northern Yuan for him and defend the frontier. Therefore, he will only gradually weaken the power of King Yan, and even if everyone knows it, without absolute evidence, he will not do anything with King Yan at all. ”
"Therefore, as long as King Yan is not a mistake on the surface or a mistake in secret, the emperor will turn a blind eye. The soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved, and King Yan naturally knew this truth after a long battle. The Qian family is rich and has a wide range of contacts that follow both black and white, so he is the hot figure that everyone wants. Therefore, if you can't use it for yourself, you must not use it for your opponents. Therefore, whether there is a dragon vein or not, the Hidden Mist Mountain Villa has this catastrophe, and there is no escape. ”
Han Santong admired this Fang Xiaoru more and more from his heart, although he was a Confucian student, he could jump out of the whole right and wrong, look at the overall situation, and have such incisive insights.
"However, in this case, the enemy that King Yan is facing is his own nephew, how can he do it?" Xi Zhen was very puzzled, he felt really incredible.
"Hehehe" Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and smiled: "Born in the emperor's family, where is there love? All family affection is not as good as the power and wealth of the world, and people's desires are like the ruins on the coast of the East China Sea, which can never be satisfied. ”
"Then, Mr. Xizhi, I have one more question, and I would like to ask him to give me advice. ”
"Little friend, it's okay to ask, you and me, you don't need so much politeness. ”
Xi Zhen thought for a moment and asked: "In this battle of Lushan, my senior brother and I, as well as Lao He, almost all died on the spot, so why did my second senior brother know everything that happened? Also, after I was injured, the second senior brother did not take me to him, but rushed to the foot of Longhu Mountain, and it happened that Mr. was teaching in Longhu Mountain. I don't think it's a coincidence, and I would like to ask you to clear your doubts. ”
"Hahahaha" Fang Xiaoru pointed at Xi Zhen, but said to Han Santong: "Han Daxia is really right, Senior Brother Ling is a master who breaks the casserole and asks to the end, who knows Xi Zhen, Han Daxia is also." ”
Han Santong smiled at the bow, which was a response from the other party's filial piety. Xi Zhen was stunned, what did the emotional senior brother say to Mr. Xizhi?
Xi Zhen was about to anger Han Santong, Fang Xiaoru waved his hand and said, "Well, since you have asked, if I don't answer, you must not be able to eat or sleep." Now that you are in the period of physical recovery, you can't be delayed because of your worries. ”
"Did Han Daxia receive a letter before he left for Lushan?" Fang Xiaoru asked.
Han Santong was shocked and said, "How can Mr. know?" Then he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Fang Xiaoru and said, "Could it be that this letter was written by Mr.?"
Fang Xiaoru shook his head and smiled and said, "No, but the old man knows that this letter was written by Mei Daxia." I'm afraid you don't know about Mei Daxia's position in the Qilin Society. Besides, what he had allowed the old man to say was that Mei Daxia had always been in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Two months ago, I was invited to come to Longhu Mountain to preach and receive a job by Zhang Tianshi, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. It just so happened that Mei Daxia met the old man when he secretly came to Lushan this time, and he also knew the relationship between the old man and the two, so he dared to take you to the cold house with confidence, that's all. ”
Xi Zhen knew that the relationship between Fang Xiaoru and his second senior brother was definitely not as simple as he just said, but since Fang Xiaoru had already said it clearly at this time, it was inconvenient for him to continue to ask, so he had to admit it silently. What he thought was that one day, he would figure it all out, so he didn't care about the last few days.
When it was rising, Pei Feng came to fetch water, and at the same time informed Fang Xiaoru and Xi Zhen that Mei Yin was in a hurry to return to Jinling because of an emergency. Because of the suddenness of the incident, they didn't come to say goodbye, just asked Pei Feng to convey it.
Xi Zhen thought while drinking tea: "Although the second senior brother is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, since he is in the Qilin Society, why don't you go to Beiping Mansion and go back to Jinling? ”
