With the status of the Cui family, Cui Keli succeeded to the head of the family, which is a major event in the entire Qingzhou, to invite many people to watch the ceremony, it takes some time to prepare, considering that the Penglai Xiandao Conference is imminent, the final result of the discussion is to wait until the Penglai Xiandao Conference returns, and then hold the ceremony.

A carriage drove out of the gate of Qingzhou City, escorted by several equestrian monks, along the official road to the east.

The carriage was quite wide, and in the middle of it was Trekley.

This Confucian scholar could not be idle for half a moment, and he read in the carriage on the way, although the carriage was a little shaky, but Cui Keli also had a bit of cultivation, and was not affected by these, and when he was interested in reading, he would write hard.

Li Ye, Su Emei, and Wei Xiaozhuang all rode horses in front of the carriage.

When Wei Xiaozhuang talked to Li Ye about the Taoist temple, he was full of interest: "Although our Taoist temple does not farm, there is still a vegetable garden, and this is still picked up by the senior sister." I remember when I was a child, when I was about seven or eight years old, we went down with Master for the first time, and saw the villagers and farmland under the mountain, and after coming back, every day at noon, my sister would run to the Taoist temple by herself, mysteriously and mysteriously, and scavenged in a flat wasteland for a while, picking up stones and pulling out barren grass, and finally made a place, so she transplanted the wild vegetables from the mountain into the ground, and then she stayed there with great anticipation, thinking that she could also make a vegetable garden. I got up at night to watch for a while, and I couldn't sleep with Master. ”

"The next day, get up and see, guess what, they're all dead, haha. For this reason, Master and I laughed at her for a while, and we all made Senior Sister cry, and sat alone next to the vegetable garden, sulking for most of the day and ignoring us. The master felt that he could not go, so he went to the mountains to find some wild vegetable seeds, gave them to his sister, and taught her how to reclaim the wasteland. In fact, the master also knew a little about it, he had never planted a field at all, he just watched others plant, and as a result, the rapeseed was sown, and there was no movement at all. It was winter at that time, and the fields were frosty, where could the rapeseed grow, haha, I can't forget, the senior sister squatted on the edge of the vegetable garden, looking at the scene of the vegetable garden silently waiting, but it had just snowed, and there was nothing in the vegetable garden except for a thick layer of snow. ”

Wei Xiaozhuang saw that Li Ye was quite interested, and he had been listening carefully, so he was even more energetic: "Then Senior Sister was angry again, but this time she sulked herself, locked herself in the house, and didn't go out for most of the day." In the spring of the following year, a few rapeseed trees finally grew, but there were really only a few, were they three or four? This isn't the funniest thing, Brother Li, you know what's the funniest thing, those rapeseeds aren't rapeseeds at all, and the ones that come out aren't wild vegetables at all, guess what? It's a fucking trumpet flower! Haha, I'm laughing to death. ”

"I laughed at the master for a long time, it was also the first time that the master blushed, it was for himself to be ashamed, and the senior sister was depressed, tears were rolling in her eyes, haha, you can imagine that scene, the three of us, just me......"

Li Ye smiled and asked, "And then?"

"And then, of course, I was beaten. They beat me together, mixed doubles, and in the end I cried alone, they were both happy, and I was so angry!"

Su E secretly gritted her teeth and glared at Wei Xiaozhuang fiercely, so frightened that Wei Xiaozhuang quickly shut up, Li Ye saw her embarrassment, became more interested, and asked Wei Xiaozhuang: "What happened?"

Wei Xiaozhuang said with a smile: "Later, the master couldn't help it, after all, he gave the wild grass seeds as wild vegetable seeds to the senior sister, which caused the senior sister to live for a winter and a spring, and the senior sister was still so young at that time, how could I bear it." Moreover, his image of omnipotence was completely ruined, and in order to maintain this image, he took us down the mountain to ask the villagers below for advice, and only then did he understand the knowledge in it. Master has a good reputation in the village, and has saved many patients, and then the villagers went door-to-door, so they brought together a large handful of rapeseed for the senior sister, and when the senior sister carried the rapeseed up the mountain, she didn't let us touch it, like protecting the cubs, but it was fierce, hum, when I was a child, the senior sister was actually very childish. ”

Coming into contact with Su Emei's murderous eyes, Wei Xiaozhuang was embarrassed, cleared his throat, and continued: "Later, when Senior Sister was cleaning up the vegetable garden, Master and I wanted to help, but she was all driven out with a wave of her little hand. She didn't trust us at all, so she held a big hoe by herself, which was up to her chin, and she was tossing and turning in the vegetable garden. ”

"Later, a nest of green onions finally grew, and those days, watching the nest of green onions grow, my sister was happy like something, and she had to run over ten or twenty times every day, and her feet were agile, like cats. The first litter of green onions grew, but the senior sister insisted on not letting us pull out and eat, no matter how I persuaded the master, she blocked the vegetable garden, stubbornly shook her head, just like what to take, the hen protects the cubs. That's a dish, what do you use it for if you don't eat it, but my sister won't let it. ”

"In the end, Master and I were out of line, so I didn't have hope, I just sighed at each other, feeling that my life was bitter, and I finally gave birth to a nest of vegetables, which can be seen or eaten, and there is no reason for heaven. Until one night, when my sister brought out the steamed cakes, Master and I were surprised to find that there were countless green dots on the steamed cakes, but the fragrance was beautiful. Hehe, that meal, Master and I enjoyed it, at that time, it was like eating the roast chicken you made, Brother Li, I felt that the world was delicious, but that's it, haha. ”

Li Ye was amused, and glanced at Su E's eyebrows a few times, the latter lowered his head shyly, not daring to see anyone, he said to Wei Xiaozhuang: "Why did your senior sister suddenly figure it out, didn't she let her eat?"

Wei Xiaozhuang said with a smile: "How can she figure it out, it's that the green onions are almost yellow, and if you don't eat it, you'll be in trouble, she can't help it, so she took it out!"

Su Emei's murderous gaze fell on Wei Xiaozhuang, looking like she was about to draw her sword and stab this guy to death: "Wei Xiaozhuang!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it!" Wei Xiaozhuang raised his hand in surrender, but his round face was so smiling that he couldn't even see his eyes, and he saw a big open mouth.

Li Ye couldn't help but glance at Su E a few more times, this girl still has such a cute side, too, little girls are rarely uncute, little boys can't compare, little boys are mostly naughty and mischievous when they are young, as long as the little girl doesn't always love to cry nose, who wasn't stupid and cute when she was a child?

Su Emei, who was obviously born as delicate as a flower, and even the peony was ashamed when she saw it, but she had a graceful temperament and an introverted temperament, and she noticed that Li Ye looked over, as if she had been caught doing something wrong, she didn't dare to look at Li Ye at all, but she couldn't keep her head down, so she simply turned her head slightly, looked at the other side of the road, and completely displayed the soft and beautiful side face and delicate and small ears in front of Li Ye.

At this time, the sunset happened to be on the side of Su E's eyebrows, and this delicate and quiet face, against the backdrop of the red sunset, made Li Ye look a little distracted. Probably feeling Li Ye's gaze, Su E's eyebrows were a little embarrassed, her face was white and red, just like a ripe white peach at this time, she subconsciously pursed her lower lip, this subtle action made Li Ye's heartbeat beat faster, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Wei Xiaozhuang saw Li Ye's appearance in his eyes, and whispered a smirk on the side.

Seeing Li Ye coming over, Wei Xiaozhuang continued to pour beans with great interest: "Master also raised two fish in the Taoist temple, one in one tank, one black and one white, which I have had since I can remember, but after so many years, I haven't seen those two small fish grow up, and they are still so small." ”

He compared his thumb and index finger: "I told the master, this fish can't be raised anyway, so it's better to go to the pot like this?" The master beat me up at that time, probably because he was afraid that I would secretly eat the two fish while he was away, and the beating was so hard that my ass bloomed. ”

Li Ye smiled: "And then you really didn't steal it?"

"How is it possible! am I such a timid person?" Wei Xiaozhuang shouted loudly, and then he was deflated, and said: "When the master goes down the mountain, I will go to fish, but I haven't fished it for a long time, the fish is obviously in the water tank, but it can't be touched, and the fingers can pass directly through its body, as if it doesn't exist." I also asked my sister to fish with me, how sensible my sister is, at first I refused, but then I heard me say that I couldn't touch anything, I didn't believe it, so I came to try to fish, but I didn't pick it up. ”

Li Ye was interested: "And then?"

Then Master came back and punished us for kneeling all night. Wei Xiaozhuang smiled, "Master later told us that we can't fight those two fish anymore, and how high my senior sister and I will achieve in the future depends on these two little fish." I'm bragging again, my sister and I don't believe it, but I really haven't caught it in the future. But they still haven't grown up. ”

Li Ye listened interestingly, but began to think in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, these two small fish are similar to the pool of green lotus in Niushou Mountain.

Without waiting for Li Ye to understand, Cui Keli lifted the curtain and beckoned Li Ye in.

Li Ye entered the carriage and sat opposite Cui Keli, he couldn't help but remember that before leaving Cui's house, Cui Shulin had a conversation with him, and Cui Shulin, who was kind and kind at that time, in addition to expressing his gratitude and appreciation, kept knocking on his identity, but fortunately, before Li Ye crossed, after all, he had lived for so long, and he didn't reveal his stuff when he was caught. Of course, this is what he thinks for himself.

Cui Keli called Li Ye in, was to talk to him about Confucianism, when Li Ye first entered Cui Keli's room, saw the other party's manuscript, and expressed admiration, at that time Cui Keli was a little happy, for scholars, there are friends from afar, no matter when it is worth discussing.

"Since the Han Dynasty, the Confucian study of governing the country has gradually been accepted by the world, and has been able to develop and grow, and there have been glorious times, but compared with Confucianism and Taoism, the shortcomings are too obvious on the way of cultivation, and the world pursues strength, who is not anxious for quick success? The Taoist cultivation system is complete and concise, not comparable to the other three disciplines, and almost all Confucian scholars will switch to the Taoist method once they enter the scholar and the first, which is the proof. ”

Li Ye said and shook his head: "If Confucianism wants to prosper, it will be difficult. ”

Cui Keli disagreed with Li Ye's opinion, he asked rhetorically: "Confucian scholars, with meritorious service and virtue as their lifelong pursuit, what they seek is to share the worries of the king and relieve the upside down of the people.

"If there are thieves in the mountains and there are wars on the border, can we solve these problems once and for all with a few monks? If so, what does the country need the army to do? If so, why are there so many monks today, why are there so many thieves repeatedly banned, and the beacon fire on the border is not extinguished all year round?"

Li Ye smiled: "What does that gentleman mean?"

Cui Keli said solemnly: "The four Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist soldiers, in the final analysis, must be controlled by the imperial court, in this world, there can be no Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoist soldiers, but there can be no strong imperial court." If the court is strong, the king will be subdued by the world, and the three provinces and six ministries will control the Quartet, so that whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, or hundreds of industries, they can perform their duties and contribute their own strength to the blessing of the common people. In a word, the imperial court is the center, governing the world is the goal, and the Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and soldiers are just means. ”

Li Ye said: "Confucianism admires the past and the present, although there are words for governing the country, but most of them are generalized, Confucian scholars, if they talk about moral articles, poems and songs, they cannot be compared with other schools, but if they talk about practice, do practical things...... The understanding of all industries, Confucianism is not as good as a hundred workers, marching and fighting, Confucianism is not as good as soldiers......"

"I once heard such a conversation, and the king asked, 'How do you govern the country?' Confucianism replied, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette. The king asked, "Why did you repel the enemy army that invaded the border?" Confucianism replied, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. The king asked, natural disasters are rampant and man-made disasters are continuous, how can the world be pacified? Confucianism replied, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette ......"

"Confucianism governs the country through the world, but there is a clear doctrine? Confucianism is nothing more than benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. And take this as respect, regard the merchants and hundreds of workers, peddlers and pawns, etc., as lowly people, and regard the learning of strengthening the country and enriching the people, and as the end of the sacrifice. It seems that in the view of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and other disciplines are the best things that can solve all the cruxes of the world. ”

"But the truth is, no. Confucian scholars are long in empty talk and short in current affairs, full of words of concern for the country and the people, and high-spirited words, but in fact, more often than not, they can neither go into battle to kill the enemy, nor cure a person's disease. In a word, Confucianism governs the mind and the mind, but does not govern the current affairs. It is not Confucianism who governs current affairs, but a scholar who integrates hundreds of other schools. ”

Cui Keli's eyes widened at first, and then gradually fell into deep thought, and finally after Li Ye finished speaking, he sighed: "What a fallacy the son!"

After saying this, he raised his head again and sighed: "The world has misunderstood me!

Sighing, Cui Keli looked at Li Ye and said seriously: "What Gongzi said is indeed not groundless, but not all of them are the teachings of the sages. Since the Han Dynasty, when the imperial court mostly used Confucianism to govern the country, in order to meet the needs of the king's governance, Confucianism did have many places, all of which were unrecognizable. ”

Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "But the words of Confucius and Mencius, the art of the six arts of a gentleman, at any time, are the most reasonable. The people of the world misunderstand my Confucianism, and most of them have not explained the words of Confucius and Mencius, but they are credulous and critical of the later doctrines of Confucianism!"

Cui Keli sighed: "It is true that Confucianism has never been perfect, and there are many inconsiderate places, but how many things in the world can be perfect? In the early Qin and Han dynasties, hundreds of schools of thought converged and hundreds of scholars were absorbing the essence of each other's schools and constantly improving their own doctrines. ”

It's just that since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been respected alone, Confucianism has no opponents, and it flatters the king, echoes the needs of the king's governance, and changes the words of the sages, so that he has embarked on the road of self-degeneration. The vicissitudes of life, the passage of time, the changing of the world, any doctrine, must constantly absorb the essence of other schools, can not improve itself, in order to be truly useful, to deal with new situations and problems, but Confucianism has not done it. Not only did it not be done, but in order to meet the needs of the king and ensure the absolute rule of the king over the country, he also continued to degenerate and constantly revise the essence, so it is inevitable that the world will misunderstand my Confucianism. ”

Li Ye was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "What does Mr. mean?"

Cui Keli said: "If a person has no enemies, he will inevitably slack off, if the country is closed, it will decline, and Confucianism has no opponents, how can it not degenerate? As Gongzi said, Confucianism governs the mind and the mind, but it does not govern current affairs, and it is not without purpose. But it is precisely because of this that our generation of scholars should constantly strive for self-improvement and perfect their own learning! If everything is done by the sages, if the sages are right about everything, what else do we need the people of this world to do?"

Li Ye was stunned, but he didn't expect Cui Keli to say such a thing.

Cui Keli sat up straight, his eyebrows awe-inspiring: "The reason why the world will be in chaos is that the personnel are not done well, my generation of scholars, since they take the common people in the world as their own responsibility, they should know that the Taishang is against themselves, and then ask for others, the words of the sages are bound to be improved and improved, and the principle of governing the country through the world must also be continuously studied." Only in this way can we contribute a truly complete and useful study of governing the country to the king and the people at an early date, and only then can we live up to the three words of a scholar! If the world is not peaceful for a day, and the common people are not free from suffering for a day, a scholar will not be qualified to call himself a scholar!"

Li Ye was in awe, and arched his hand: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." ”
