Chapter 4 Trainees
Ten years later, the palace of the king of Liang
The lotus pond in the back garden, the young man with a face like a crown of jade on the chain corridor, at this time he was dressed in a blue and white Confucian robe, with a white jade silk silk tied around his waist, and the mutton fat jade swayed back and forth with his body, and a pair of thin-soled brocade boots on the soles of his feet, and a feather crown on his head.
Followed by a few maids, all in turquoise clothes, were chasing with difficulty with the skirt, it should have been chasing for a long time, they were already drenched in sweat, a few drops of sweat on the sideburns slightly wet the hair they were coiling up, and their faces were even more anxious, and they muttered: "Little prince, don't run away, if the prince knows that you sneak into the back garden to play again, the prince should reprimand you again!"
The handsome child who was running in front heard what the maid behind said, and turned around and smiled sweetly, which made the maid's heart flutter, thinking that if this little young master was not the same as the year of the weak crown, how many good family fans would be turned upside down.
The handsome boy looked back and smiled sweetly, but did not stop, thinking to himself, wasn't it the usual way for his father to reprimand him? Although Liang Wang Li Laosan is a rough person, he didn't read when he was young, but after he was named King Liang, he began to learn some sage books, but he was always inferior to a child when he was older, and finally it was gone, since the princess gave birth to the little prince, King Liang can be said to take care of Li Yuan, especially in reading, but because of the considerable favor, since he was a child, under the care of the princess, as a Liang Wang who did not obey discipline and beat the little prince for ten years.
Now Li Yuan has a reliance, and it is the same at this time, I saw that he just said: "Sister, my father is reluctant to beat me, at most it is just verbal, I am not afraid." ”
After a slight pause, the figure of the handsome young man Li Yuan shuttled through the back garden of Liangwang's Mansion again, quite vigorous and quite a kind of unrestrained bird.
Since then, the little young master's maids are eager in their hearts, but usually the little young master is really an excellent person in addition to being playful, and he does not have the kind of domineering attitude towards his subordinates, and there is no scene of beating and scolding at every turn, but the relationship between the maids is very good, and the maids who serve the little master are drunk when they are called by a sister.
At this time, surrounded by two maids, a beautiful ** man dressed in red and yellow dresses with several golden hairpins on his head came to the back garden from the front yard, this person is Li Yuan's mother, the current Princess Liang.
To say that Princess Liang was originally a dignified princess of the Tang Kingdom, when his brother His Majesty Taizong wanted to marry him to a rough man, she did not agree, but after becoming Princess Liang, she found that this rough man was only limited to the battlefield, which was still very good for her, and the princess followed King Liang to Liangzhou in this bitter cold land.
Now Princess Liang, who has given birth to the little prince Li Yuan, is even more beautiful and moving, her eyes kept scanning in the back garden, and finally found Li Yuan in a corner who was still playing hide and seek with a group of maids, when the Tang Kingdom was first founded, she was not a princess, just the daughter of the prince's family, but there are also a lot of rules, the so-called difference between master and servant is the most basic, looking at Li Yuan who mingles with the maids, Princess Liang is also helpless.
"Yuan'er, come back quickly, your master is here!" Princess Liang shouted coquettishly.
Princess Liang, who is extremely favored by this son, naturally will not be angry about Li Yuan playing with his subordinates, as long as Li Yuan is happy, it will be fine.
Li Yuan, who was standing on a stone table in a pavilion in the distance, suddenly heard his mother's voice saying that the master was coming, and immediately turned to his mother in surprise and said, "Mother, is my master here?"
Princess Liang saw Li Yuan standing on the narrow but half-human-high stone table for fear that he would fall, so she hurriedly reproached Li Yuan's maids and said, "Quickly pull the little young master off the stone table, if you fall, I'll ask you!"
A few maids gathered around the stone table hurriedly responded, and hurriedly prepared to help Li Yuan down.
Li Yuan said to his mother with a sweet smile: "Mother, not only the children's maids, but also the maids around you and your father are worried all day long in order to serve us. ”
At this time, Li Yuan had already jumped off the stone table, and when he landed, he didn't make any sound, he was already caught by the maids, and when he was dressed properly, Li Yuan walked towards his mother Princess Liang with a big grin, and saluted respectfully.
Princess Liang saw this generous boy, as a mother, and felt that this child was a little different from those gentlemen in the deep family compound since he was a child.
"As far as you are a ghost, you know a lot, as long as you are generous, neither I nor your father are generous, okay!" Princess Liang said fondly.
Li Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, just asked, "Is Master really here?"
Princess Liang began to be well-behaved when she saw Li Yuan hearing her master, and she was extremely dependent on this boy who was not very active in studying the sage's books on weekdays, and was really dependent on that immortal-like master.
For laymen, things like the art of lead and mercury, the art of immortality, and the technique of five elements are some strange skills after all, which are not enough to worry about, and they are crooked and heretical, but it seems that the old way is really capable, and it is said that Li Yuan's name is still the old way, so Princess Liang also turns a blind eye to this matter, if she can really learn the art of immortality, it is also excellent.
"Coming, in your study......"
Without waiting for Princess Liang to finish speaking, Li Yuan had already walked towards the study in the front yard with a puff, and several of Li Yuan's personal maids saluted Princess Liang, and hurriedly chased after Li Yuan, looking at the backs of Li Yuan and the maids leaving like the wind, Princess Liang couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
Although long before the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying on the mainland that the master of the Daomen had risen and moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, but who had seen it specifically, but no one said clearly, the so-called word of mouth was really seen, and it was like nonsense, so for people who had never seen the fairy-like Taoist with their own eyes, cultivation was just an ethereal thing.
The reason why the Tang Kingdom respected Taoism as the state religion was because Taoism had a very sacred impression in the eyes of ordinary people, so ordinary people were always willing to associate Taoism with immortals, and more importantly, the Tang Kingdom won the world after more than ten years of scuffle, and the people's livelihood withered can no longer withstand the toss, and the Taoist theory of inaction is quite in line with the current situation, so it is the best policy as a policy to govern the world.
The Tang State respected Taoism as the state religion, and the people naturally set off a wind of faith, so the spread of Buddhism in the Tang Kingdom was not very smooth.
This point is vividly reflected in the body of Li Yuan, a typical Tang man, some people with distinguished status prefer to ask a Taoist similar to Mr. at home to teach children, although more of a role with Mr. Private School, teaching some Taoist Taoist classics, but it is a real embodiment of the popularity of Taoism.
With a squeak, the pair of red lacquered wooden doors in the study were pushed open by Li Yuan, and when he didn't see the figure of the master, he had already called out the master sweetly, and the Taoist Xuanxu who was sitting in front of the desk heard it, and he also showed a kind smile, staring at Li Yuan who was running in sweat, Li Yuan sat in front of the master Xuanxu and was dressed roughly, and the door of the study was covered by the maids who followed.
Xuanxu put down the Daozang in his hand and pointed to one of the volumes called "Hug Puzi" Daozang and said: "The last time I returned to the Taoist Temple, I ordered you to familiarize yourself with this Daozang, not to mention memorization, to understand the meaning, I don't know if you can read it?"
There are 8 volumes in the inner and outer chapters of Baopuzi, 20 of which discuss the art of the immortal spitting out the seal and the outer chapter, and 50 of the outer chapters discuss the gains and losses of current affairs, whether the personnel are in danger or not, and the purpose of the words is distinguished. For Li Yuan's age, it can be said that it is quite obscure, even adults need to spend a lot of effort to read through it when they see it, and they just want to test how enthusiastic this kid is about the Tao.
But at this moment, Li Yuan, who had already relieved most of his breath, patted his little chest with his little hand and said, "Master, I have already followed your instructions, although I have not memorized it, but I have already understood most of the meanings!"
"Really?" Xuan Xuan wondered.
"Really!" Li Yuan replied proudly.
In the past few years in Xuanxu's Mansion of Liangwang, since Li Yuan's ability to read and hyphenate words, he began to teach some saints to leave books, there is no shortage of Taoist classics, and there are also classics of various families, but Li Yuan for the classics of other families, reading is the same as chewing wax It seems painful, but it is only to hide the hand of the Taoist and not release the volume, which really makes Xuanxu happy, Li Yuan was also reprimanded by King Liang for this matter, saying that he only thought about the dream of Xia Ju soaring, but this is exactly what Xuanxu wants to see.
Xuanxu continued to say with a straight face: "In this case, I will test you, if you can't answer, don't blame the master for punishing you!"
"Ask, ask, Master!" Li Yuan said confidently.
"Good boy!" Xuanxu said with a smile, "What is the inner chapter of "Hug Puzi" "Changxuan Volume No. 1" talking about?"
He is talking about the universe ontology "Xuan", and believes that "Xuan" is the ancestor of all things in the world. Dignitaries "think about the Xuandao", and if they are called Xuan, they will live forever. Li Yuan's immature voice resounded in the study, although he didn't say the words sonorously, but he also landed soundly.
After this remark was finished, it really aroused Xuanxu's attention and made him happy.
"Volume 1 may also be something you can look at to deal with me, and I will come out with a middle one. Xuanxu continued to ask, "What is the fourteenth volume of diligent pursuit about?"
"On seeking the truth and cultivating diligently. I advise you to be diligent in seeking teachers, and to choose true teachers carefully. Master, you don't boast that you're the true Master, do you? When he said the back, Li Yuan was already whispering.
And at this moment, Xuanxu was even more shocked, when he was a child, Li Yuan showed his desire and qualifications for Tibet, but now it seems that he didn't expect it to be so rebellious.
