Chapter 116: The Tao Te Ching

"My husband has been in retreat for more than half a month, but I don't know when he will be released. ”

Huan Chang exhaled a breath of true air, and his gaze fell on the house where Dongfang Ji Er lived, as if his gaze could pass through the wall.

The successful implementation of the new law in the Song Kingdom is inseparable from Ji Er's suggestion, and in the past two years, Ji Er has also completely convinced Huan Chang with his own performance.

Huan Chang could only sigh from his heart, Ji Er is a genius, a genius who is rare in a thousand years.

This kind of strangeness is not only manifested in the theory and thought of governing the country, but also in Ji Er's understanding and elaboration of martial arts.

In two years, Huan Chang gave Ji Er a lot of power, and added the idea of ruling by inaction to the new law, which was just in line with the character and living habits of the people of the Song Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that the new law can be well promoted.

In today's Song Kingdom, in many cases, the government is only an executive agency, and the people are the real center of power.

Because the people had the right to supervise officials, recommend talents, and propose changes to the law, the people were extremely supportive of the new law.

Although this system is not yet perfect, it also responds to the idea of ruling by inaction.

The original meaning of inaction is not to act recklessly, not to do nothing.

Institutionally, Ji Er emphasized that the monarch should bind his subjects with a proper legal system, and not act arbitrarily because of his own preferences, so that if the monarch does nothing, the people can obey the law.

From the perspective of the monarch's employment, Ji Er believes that the monarch should know people well, put the right talents in the right positions, and assign specific things to the ministers to do, and do not have to bow down to everything, which is also inaction.

Generally speaking, what is advocated by doing nothing is to be lenient in punishment and streamline administration, to be light in the administration of the people, to rest with the people, to rely on the people's self-action and inaction, and to rely on the autonomy of the people to govern everything.

As for the monarch and the officials, they only need to do their duty.

This kind of proposition is actually based on the will of returning government to the people.

If the government is returned to the people, if the monarch does nothing and the people do something, then the world will prosper; if the monarch does nothing and the ministers do something, then the court will be clear.

Mr.'s point of view is still too idealistic, but the reference part can also fit the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. ”

Thinking of the problems Ji Er encountered during the promotion of the new law by integrating his thoughts, Huan Chang immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

"However, just like Brother Mo's Moxue, although it is difficult to completely realize Mr. Mo's idea of doing nothing, it still makes me feel admired after all. ”

Thinking of Mo Ziren, Huan Chang lost his mind again.

Today's Mo Ziren is no longer the very idealistic simple young man he was back then, and he has already made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes.

Many chivalrous people who are like-minded with Moziren claim to walk the rivers and lakes together, eliminate violence, peace and good for the people, and take care of the affairs of the world even if they know that they are invincible.

Although the strength of these ink heroes is still very weak, they have that enthusiasm and impulse, as well as their prestige among the people, which makes this group of young ink heroes have great influence.

"If Brother Mo can stick to their beliefs, over time, these ink heroes may be able to become recorded in the Kyushu calendar. ”

Thinking of those ink heroes, Huan Chang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Today's Moxia is very similar to those knights who walked the rivers and lakes for the sake of the morality of the world and even did not hesitate to kill the mansions of the princes when the warriors were just rising more than a thousand years ago.

But with the passage of time, the knights who were once selfless for the country and the people have finally become the major sects that occupy the land and are kings, which is somewhat embarrassing.

In Huan Chang's view, what Moziren is doing now may be to restore the spirit of dedication of those chivalrous men in ancient times.

As for the Kyushu calendar, it is a historical record of the major deeds of Kyushu, and even the rise and fall of a small vassal state is not qualified to be recorded in it.

Huan often thinks that Moxia may be included in the Kyushu calendar, and it can also be seen that he values Moxia.

"Buzz!"

Just when Huan Chang was thinking wildly, a strong fluctuation of True Qi suddenly appeared in the east, and this fluctuation spread in all directions with the house where Ji Er was retreating.

"That's the smell of a gentleman!"

Feeling the momentum that rose to the sky, Huan Chang immediately felt his heart beating wildly, and then drummed up the true qi in his body, and quickly rushed towards the direction where Ji Er was.

"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless world. The mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire to observe the wonder. There is often a desire to observe it. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”

Huan Chang had just flown out of the house when he heard Ji Er's very magnetic voice.

After hearing this, Huan Chang's body couldn't help but pause, and his face suddenly showed a look of doubt, and suddenly his face showed joy, and his expression changed.

At this time, Huan Chang, after hearing Ji Er's voice, actually fell into an epiphany, and his comprehension of the Tao became clearer and clearer.

The vague threshold seemed to become clearer and clearer.

Not only Huan Chang, but also Mo Dao, Liu Sandao, Shadow, and the martial artists who reached the peak realm of entering the house in the General's Mansion actually comprehended.

The General's Mansion, which was still a little noisy, actually fell into a strange calm at the moment when Ji Er's voice sounded, even ordinary people who didn't know any martial arts felt their heads clear at this time, as if they had suddenly opened their minds.

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful and evil, and everyone knows that what is good is good and what is not good. Therefore, there is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are inclined to each other, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back follow each other. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words. All things are done without resignation. Born without having, for the sake of not worrying, successful and living. Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go. ”

Ji Er's voice was low, slow and powerful, and those warriors who fell into an epiphany had a deeper and deeper understanding of the Dao, but many martial artists with lower comprehension felt more and more difficult to comprehend.

A few people forcibly comprehended, and in the end they could only vomit blood, resulting in heavy damage to their lungs.

"If you are not virtuous, you will not fight the people. Inexpensive and rare goods, so that the people will not be robbed. If you don't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be disturbed. It is the rule of a saint, who is humble in his heart, solid in his belly, weak in his will, and strong in his bones; it often makes the people ignorant and desireless, so that the wise do not dare to do it. If you do nothing, you will not be cured. ”

Ji Er's voice became more and more ethereal, as if it came from the murmur of the Nine Heavens Gods.

I don't know when, the body of the white-clothed commander has appeared beside Huan Chang, looking at the house where Ji Er is, his eyes are complicated and a little complicated.

It's just that Huan Chang has fallen into an epiphany, and he didn't notice the white-clothed commander at all.

"Hey, the Tao Te Ching has not been written after all. ”

Just when Huan Chang was immersed in the artistic conception of those words, he suddenly heard Ji Er's sigh, which was mixed with deep helplessness.
