Chapter 80: Be a traitor in the spring breeze
Zhang Fan's sudden slapping of the table, as well as the excited voice and indignant look, made Li Shan, who was caught off guard, startled.
Looking at Zhang Fan, who was suddenly filled with righteous indignation for some reason, Li Shan couldn't help but be stunned, confused, and even more inexplicable in his heart.
"Am I being self-indulgent?"
After being stunned for a moment, Li Shan immediately came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and sneered again, "When did I, I, Li, become arrogant?"
You must know that he is the middle doctor of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty, and he is also a celebrity around Emperor Qin, he can be described as a high and powerful position, how can he make himself arrogant.
"If you weren't arrogant, why did you call yourself a traitor just now?"
Zhang Fan stared directly at Li Shan's eyes, and saw that Li Shan's heart was weak for a while.
That look seemed to have already seen through Li Shan's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Li Shan was speechless for a while.
Even he didn't know why he called himself a traitor in front of Zhang Fan.
His eyes were lowered, and a lonely look suddenly flashed under his eyes, Li Shan threw his neck up and took a sip of beer.
After a pause, Li Shan smiled bitterly self-deprecatingly, "In the eyes of the world, isn't I, Li Shan, a heinous traitorous minister?"
Turning his eyes, he glanced at Zhang Fan again, "And Ling Zun Wu Anhou is just the opposite of me Li!"
The tone was full of mockery and unwillingness.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan nodded heavily and said bluntly, "Yes, you Li Shan is indeed a big traitor!"
"You ......"
Li Shan's eyes widened, and a ray of anger flashed in his eyes.
Although he is self-aware, and the government and the opposition have long been spread, Zhang Fan is the first person to say in front of him that he is a big traitor.
No one denies that honesty is a good thing, but excessive frankness and honesty will make people feel very uncomfortable.
But Zhang Fan's face did not change, and without waiting for Li Shan's attack to come out, the words changed sharply, and then said: "However, as the saying goes, heaven and earth intersect, yin and yang are integrated, there is no mutual birth, and there is no ...... with each other."
Is there such a hungry and esoteric saying in this world?
How the did I never hear of it?
Li Shan was stunned at that time.
Although he is also a monk who entered the Tao with literature, and he also has some talent in his belly, he didn't understand Zhang Fan's words at all, let alone the meaning.
"W-What do you mean?"
Li Shan looked at Zhang Fan with a puzzled expression.
But seeing Zhang Fan smile slightly, he stood up, took a cabbage leaf from the hot pot, and put it in the copper dish in front of Li Shan.
"Since ancient times, the heavens are above, the earth is below, the heavens and the earth are opposed, if there is no heaven, where will the earth come from?" Zhang Fan said with a smile, "Doctor Li, do you say this is the truth?"
Compared with what "there is no coexistence, before and after", this remark is indeed much more straightforward.
Li Shan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Fan said.
But the problem is, he still hasn't understood Zhang Fan's intentions, does this have anything to do with me being a traitor?
"Second Master Ji, what do you want to say?"
Li Shan frowned and asked.
"Don't you get it yet? Then I'll be more plain!"
Zhang Fan thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's like the opposition between heaven and earth, from ancient times to the present, loyalty and treachery are the same as fire and water, the world regards loyalty and goodness as beauty, and adultery as evil, but try to ask the world, if there is no traitor, how can there be loyalty and goodness in this world?"
Li Shan finally understood what Zhang Fan meant this time.
As soon as he spoke, it was as if the great god of Pangu was holding the Heavenly God Axe, and suddenly split the chaos in front of him, and a new world appeared in front of him.
Li Shan's eyes lit up suddenly, nodded thoughtfully, and muttered, "It seems to be ...... It seems to make some sense!"
"That's right!"
Seeing the slightly loosened look on Li Shan's face, Zhang Fan slapped his thigh violently and continued to follow the temptation.
"No matter which dynasty, what kind of Qingming and prosperous era, there must be loyalty, there must be loyalty, loyalty and treachery, loyalty and treachery, sometimes opposing each other, sometimes complementing each other, just like you are the wind and I am the sand lingering to the end of the world......"
"Yes, exactly!"
Li Shan nodded.
The historical development of the Mandate of Heaven Continent is certainly very different from Zhang Fan's previous life, but before the Great Qin Dynasty, there were also several imperial dynasties that rose and fell, and Li Shan, as a monk who entered the Tao with literature, naturally knew it.
Take the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty as an example, since the establishment of the Beginningless Immortal Emperor, there are not many loyal people in the emperor dynasty, and there are not a few traitors in the emperor dynasty.
Even in today's imperial court, above the court, I am afraid that he is not the only traitor.
However, after listening to Zhang Fan's words, Li Shan began to ponder.
Hearing Zhang Fan continue: "However, there is a difference between loyalty and treachery, the biggest difference is that loyal and good people will be famous for a hundred years, and traitors will be stinking for thousands of years, but have you thought about Dr. Li? If there is no sacrifice and foil of those traitors, how can there be a reputation of loyalty and goodness?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shan suddenly shouted, and suddenly stood up, and an excited look suddenly appeared on his already red face.
"Well said!"
Li Shan blurted out.
There is no doubt that Zhang Fan's words simply went to his heart.
Especially the sentence that when the water is clear, there are no fish, it makes Li Shan sigh, it is really a wise saying.
"Second son Ji, I, Li, toast you!"
Li Shan raised the wine bottle and drank it all.
It can be seen that Li Shan was really moved by Zhang Fan's words.
In this case, how could Zhang Fan not give face, and immediately accompanied Li Shan for a drink.
Putting down the wine bottle, Zhang Fan lifted the wine jug, filled the copper bottle for Li Shan, and said with a sincere face: "Take Dr. Li as an example, with Dr. Li's talent, isn't it easy to be a loyal and good minister? But why do you want to be a traitor who has been scolded a lot?"
Li Shan was suddenly stunned.
yes, how the did I become a traitor that everyone shouted at?
Thinking back to the beginning, he was a proud protégé of Confucius, and under the teaching of Confucius, he also fantasized that he would make contributions to the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty in the future and be famous for centuries.
And it was his enthusiasm that moved his mentor Confucius, so he was recommended by Confucius, entered the emperor's mansion to do things, and then rose to prominence.
Once upon a time, he Li Shan was also a pillar of talent praised by Confucius, but now, Confucius's husband has long been inseparable from him.
Both inside and outside the government and the opposition also scolded him for being a white-eyed wolf.
But even he himself couldn't understand how the young man who was full of enthusiasm and dreams had become a traitor step by step.
Therefore, in the face of Zhang Fan's question at this time, he himself fell into contemplation and couldn't answer.
"There must be unknown bitterness in the mental journey!"
A simple sentence moved Li Shan.
Bitterness!
Of course bitter!
It's so bitter that it makes you want to cry!
But seeing that Zhang Fan suddenly became a little more excited, his words were excited, foaming at the mouth, and suddenly splashed into the hot pot on the table.
"But I know that if it weren't for Dr. Li, you disregarded your personal reputation, endured humiliation, and were willing to be scolded by thousands of people, how could a loyal minister like my father spread a good reputation!
The more Zhang Fan spoke, the more excited he became, and he was filled with righteous indignation, as if he was upset for Li Shanming.
"Dr. Li Shan, your noble personality and selfless spirit are driving the gears of historical development and inspiring the progress of human society.
"Doctor Li Shan, continue to be a traitor!
