The night was dark and dark, the cold wind was bleak, and Pei Xiangfu was immersed in deep shadows. The sycamore trees in the courtyard have long since lost their leaves, and the snow on the branches is opposite to the snow in the cracks of the stone slabs under the steps, like pearls in the dark night.

In the distance, from time to time, the monotonous sound of the night watchman could be heard. It had already sounded the third watch, and under the dim candlelight, Pei Yan was still bowing, and he kept plowing the pen in his hand. Accidentally, he knocked out a book on the table and woke up the sleeping woman on the bed.

"Master, it's been a few days, why haven't you slept yet! Since you were dismissed and returned home, you have been busier than before!" This beautiful woman was really Pei Yan's wife, Wang, he opened his hazy sleepy eyes and complained. This Wang is the daughter of Situ Wang Rong, a well-known family, knowledgeable and reasonable, and Pei Yi is a husband and wife. Since Empress Jia was deposed and Sima Shu came to power, although Pei Bi and Sima Shu are also a little incense, Pei Bi and Jia Hou have a chaotic relationship, and she has long been preparing to die with Pei Bi. But the final result was only a dismissal, which undoubtedly made her more grateful to her cousin-in-law.

"Madam, you better rest early! Although I have already planned this "Argumentative Theory" in my heart, I have been delayed by the world, and I have stopped writing until now, and now I can finally calm down and write!" Pei Yan comforted Wang. Wang wanted to accompany her husband, but she was sleepy, so she endured her sleepiness for a while, and fell asleep again after a while!

Since the dismissal and returning home, Pei Yan has no appetite for food, and he feels like he can't sleep at the table, and even his face is much more ruddy, and he can finally sleep more at ease. Although he and Jia Nanfeng are aunts, outsiders seem to have a lot of admonitions to Jia Nanfeng and are loyal, but he knows the way to eat the king, and he is loyal to the king. He is not loyal to Jia Nanfeng, but he is dedicated to the entire Great Jin, no matter who is in that position, he will be like this, as always!

At that time, the situation was full of crises, and it was far worse than in previous years. At that time, Empress Jia was still able to listen to the advice, and the monarchs and ministers were in the same boat and survived all kinds of difficulties. finally stabilized the court situation, but the queen became more and more greedy for pleasure in a song of merit and virtue, and even did the unreasonable thing of killing the young man. Jia Mo was so angry with her that she lay on the bed and started, and Jia Hou began to become more and more estranged from him and Zhang Hua. However, Jia Mi and Sun Xiu are getting closer and closer, making the government and politics worse. The border is restless. The people are struggling to make a living, and the people are miserable.

There are also those ministers of the imperial court, and even Wang Yan, Le Guang and others who are burdened with heavy responsibilities, who are concerned about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, the safety of the country, and the suffering of the people. I don't care at all. They regard these as "mundane things" and devote all their energy to "pure talk" and "metaphysics", revering "nothingness" and treating the pompous and grotesque as true learning. Regard people who are dedicated and hard-working as fools. The upward and downward effects are perverted for a while, and corruption becomes commonplace. Relying on himself and Zhang Lao Xiangguo alone, it is obvious that he cannot control the situation.

At this time, someone finally appeared! Isn't the crown prince Sima Shu the Taoist he has always hoped for! The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although he is only a grass man now, but he is willing to exert his most ruthless energy, and has reported Sima Shu's grace to open up to him and not kill!

Now that the society is vain and luxurious, Pei Wei has long seen the important reason for the weakening of the Great Jin Dynasty and the unrest of the border. This "Theory of Argumentative Talent" is the same as his sensational work "The Theory of Chongyou" a few years ago, and it is also a problem with the times.

Academically, Pei Yi believes in "Lao Tzu" and "Zhou Yi", and belongs to the light celebrity school of "the sound of the beginning". The so-called "sound of the beginning" refers to the style of metaphysics and Qing talk in the first years of Cao Wei, and the representative figures are He Yan and Wang Bi. Today's celebrities advocate Lao Zhuang, on the one hand, they advocate Lao Zhuang's idea of letting go of nature, and on the other hand, they also advocate the rational thinking in "Zhou Yi" and "Lao Tzu".

But Pei Yi seems to be an alternative among these celebrities, these celebrities abandon the classics and still have Lao Zhuang, contempt the law and worship the law, and regard the danger of their masters, as passers-by. However, Pei Wei was very concerned about the chaos in the Western Jin Dynasty, and he could not say that he was not in danger of the Lord's safety. In particular, his theory of reverence is an alternative in today's mainstream thought.

Pei Wei believes that the "Tao" that encompasses all things is not nothingness, but the whole of "being", and there is no independent Tao without all things, and the relationship between Tao and all things is the relationship between the whole and the parts. His views forcefully refute the idealistic view of the "Guiwu" school that there is a "Tao" behind everything and a "nothing" behind everything.

In Pei Gu's view, the ontology of all things is the existence of things themselves, and all things are generated by "being" and cannot be derived from "nothing". At the same time, he believes that "nothingness" is the loss and transformation of "being". "Nothing" cannot play a positive role in the existence and development of things, and only "being" can have a positive impact on the development and change of things. He said: "The mind is not a thing, and the system must be due to the heart, but it is not possible to make things to be non-things, and the heart is nothing; the craftsman is not a tool, and the instrument must be made by the craftsman, but it is not possible to make a tool with a non-instrument, and the craftsman is not a craftsman." That is to say, the mind and the practice are two different things, and the mind cannot be considered to be non-existent. A craftsman is not an artifact, but it is necessary to rely on a craftsman to make an artifact.

Pei believes that the main purpose of "Lao Tzu" is to remind people not to deviate from the original through the emphasis on "this". But today's prevailing blame deviates from the original purpose of Lao Tzu. In today's world, the wind of Xuan Feng is becoming more and more incendiary, and there is no cheapness in the whole society, and the wind of pure talk prevails, which deviates from social reality. Pei's theory of reverence is undoubtedly not a strong agent to promote the benign development of society. But his shouting was too weak, and everyone was drunk, and I felt really uncomfortable when I woke up.

But in any case, he had to make the new rulers know that if he wanted to rejuvenate the country, he had to abolish this style of pure talk, and if he wanted to rejuvenate the people, he had to abolish this style of luxury. All his ideas of governing the country are in his work "Arguments on Talent", hoping to make the last contribution to the imperial court!

Thinking of this, Pei Yu hurried to the bookcase and began to write again. As soon as he put down the pen, the doorman had already come to report: "Master, there is a beggar who jumped over the wall from the backyard and said that he came to find the master on purpose!"

Pei Yan was taken aback: "Beggar have you asked his surname?"

"He calls himself 'Yuandao Mountain Man' and says that he is a close friend of Xiangye. ”

"Ah, is it? It looks like he should have come, and he really came!" Pei Yan immediately walked out of the study.

Yuandaoshan's surname is Lu Mingbao, the word Yuandao, a native of Nanyang (now Nanyang City, Henan), known as "Mr. Yuandao", also known as "Nanyang Hero". This prince is erudite and talented, excellent in martial arts, self-reliant with poverty, and lives in the capital. He saw that the discipline was bad, and the big officials and small officials, as long as they had the power in their hands, they were all corrupt and bribe-taking, and stretched out their hands to make money, so he wrote "The Theory of the God of Money" to stab the greed of the times.

This "Theory of the God of Money", incisive insights, to the point, is really a rare masterpiece in the world, so this article came out, the government and the opposition recited. Hitting the nail on the head of the powerful in the DPRK and China, they sold their official positions and lords, just like buying and selling in the market, bribing and embezzling, completely making it public, and the trend of corruption prevailed.

Jia Mi felt that although he didn't say it explicitly, it seemed to be secretly talking about him, so he slandered Lu Bao's article to smear the prosperous world, create fallacies, slander ministers, confuse the people, and intend to rebel, so he had to put Lu Bao to death.

Pei Wei respected this Lu Bao as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and his character was even more upright, so he tried his best to relieve this Lu Bao and rescued him from the tiger's mouth. He even wrote to the emperor to recommend Lu Bao to be an official in the court, but Lu Bao politely declined, unwilling to be an official. Later, he found out that this Lu Bao actually had a flying sword to cut evil, soaring clouds and fog thaumaturgy, only then did he know that this Lu Bao was actually a master in the world, and then he was invited to the house to teach sooner or later, very respectful, and even hired Lu Bao to teach the eldest daughter Pei Ling's martial arts and poetry in the house. Although Pei Ling is only 7 years old, she is smart and smart, and she can learn as soon as she learns, and Lu Bao likes her very much. He had promised this Lu Bao back then, if others were unofficial and light, they would definitely follow him to ask for immortals and ask for questions, and get away from the world!

In the fourth year of Yuankang, Lu Bao's old mother died of illness, he said goodbye to Pei's house, next to his mother's tomb, built a house to guard filial piety, and Pei Ling also studied art with him, which was a few years. Unexpectedly, he actually came to the mansion today, presumably he already knew that Pei Dao had been dismissed.

"Daddy!" Pei Yu had just walked out of the study, and a familiar voice had already come from outside the door, it was his daughter Pei Ling. I haven't seen her for a few years, and the little girl has grown into a big girl, Pei Yi is like a world away, and she almost didn't recognize it! (To be continued......)
