Mrs. Yang was silent.
Chen Chao laughed at himself: "Actually, after saying so much, I don't think the mountain master would like to hear it, and he wouldn't even have any feelings about it. The monks outside the mountain are practicing on the top of the mountain, seeking immortality and seeking the Tao, no matter how the world is, in fact they never
Concern. I'm afraid... The mountain master also thinks so, and Daliang also knows that not everyone will think that what we do is great, but will really admire it. The monks outside like to call Wufu vulgar, and even Daliang
Many people in the court also think so, and this is the most chilling thing."
Speaking of this, Chen Chao suddenly stopped. He thought of that girl. He thought of the woman who was born in a wealthy family. She had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. She was destined to live a good life. She had never been there.
Mobei has never seen the wars in the north with her own eyes, but why is her ambition to regain 30,000 miles of Mobei and avenge the humiliation of the human race?
Chen Chao suddenly fell silent.
Mrs. Yang suddenly said: "Before your Eunuch Li came down from the mountain, he kept saying something that he never wanted to say out loud. Only now did I understand what it was. The monks on the mountain look down on you warriors at the foot of the mountain. For that beam of yours,
The court dismissed them, but I think you probably have the same idea, and you also look down on the monks on the mountain. After all, they hate each other."
Chen Chao sighed and said: "Actually, this junior is not broad-minded. Sometimes I wonder, if this junior were His Majesty, faced with the current situation, would he choose to stop fighting against the demon clan in anger, and cede the land, or take something?
No matter how good things are, if peace can be maintained, why bother fighting for the monks outside?"
"But after thinking about it, this idea is really ridiculous. To live in this world, people still need to breathe. Without that breath, wouldn't they be like walking zombies?"
Mrs. Yang said calmly: "If the demon clan goes south one day, the people who will suffer first will definitely be the ones who suffer."
Chen Chao did not refute, but just asked: "The mountain master was born to be a great swordsmith, and is he a monk on the mountain?"
Although Mrs. Yang went to Jianqi Mountain early, in the final analysis, he was just an ordinary child at the beginning. He was spotted by the seniors of Jianqi Mountain, and then he took him to Jianqi Mountain. To put it this way, except
The descendants of those few monks, in fact most of the monks, were originally common people in Daliang.???????????????
Just by going up the mountain, I forgot a lot of things.
Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "I was thinking that it would be much easier for me if Mr. Li came down the mountain and asked you to talk. But I didn't expect that it would be even more difficult to talk about things with a guy like you."
Chen Chao grinned and said: "Young people are always more enthusiastic, and they will speak rudely without considering the consequences. Is Wangshan Lord Haihan?"
"Is it really just because of your youth?" Mrs. Yang squinted at the young warrior in front of her.
Chen Chao remained silent.
Mrs. Yang sighed, "When you said these words, I suddenly felt like I had lived so many years in vain."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "It's the mountain owner who has a righteous heart."
Mrs. Yang glared and said: "You just pointed your nose at me and scolded me for not being a human being. Now your conscience realizes that you start flattering me again?"
Chen Chao laughed dryly, "How can that be possible? I just said it casually, without any intention of targeting the mountain master."
"You better be."
Mrs. Yang glanced at Chen Chao, her expression softened a lot.
After a long time, Mrs. Yang slowly spoke, "That's all, you go down the mountain. After that, there will be about dozens of people from Jianqi Mountain heading to the divine capital secretly. As for whether they will return to the mountain or not, I don't care, it depends on what they want."
"
"Now, I can only do this. As for what happens next, maybe it will be different if someone else is the master of the Sword Qi Mountain. But I, it will be very difficult."
Mrs. Yang sighed and was not prepared to say more. She just waved and then looked meaningfully at the Chen Dynasty in front of her. The rise of the Liang Dynasty had actually been traced over the years, but in fact it was really big.
What is needed for change is not Emperor Liang, but after Emperor Liang, there will be young people who think the same as him.
But now it seems that the Liang Dynasty has already existed.
One Chen Chao and the other Xie Nandu were the two people that the Liang Dynasty cared about most.
Mrs. Yang didn't want to think about what the world would be like in the future. In this world, many people were just chess pieces. He knew that he was one too, but he also knew very well that there was no possibility for him to step out of the chessboard and become a chess player in this life.
.
People must learn to accept their fate.
Chen Chao saw Mrs. Yang's loneliness, thought for a while, and said: "Senior, it doesn't matter what you do or what position you are in. As a human being, you have to do whatever you want at some point."
"You're just taking advantage of your youth to talk nonsense like this here?"
Mrs. Yang snorted coldly, "When your every move is related to the life and death of countless people, how can you still say such words so easily?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."
Mrs. Yang waved her hands impatiently, "Go away, you brat!"
Chen Chao smiled, saluted, and walked up the mountain behind.
…
…
Half a day later, Chen Chao slowly went down the mountain. When he came, he was wearing a black shirt and a knife. Now when he left, he was also wearing a black shirt and a knife. The scabbard on his waist was replaced with a new one. His whole body was dark and shining with a different luster. As for
Chen Chao looked down at the knife in the scabbard and reached out to hold the handle.
Then I just felt a little at ease.
More solid than before.
At this moment, Chen Chao was even thinking that if he went down the mountain and met that unknown demon woman again and had another fight, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so passive.
But while going down the mountain, Chen Chao felt a little happy. He had walked through and now he could go back to see the girl.
——
Zhu Xia has been reading stories in the Sutra Pavilion.
Everyone thought that the Tao Ancestor's manuscript was the supreme Taoist classic, but Zhu Xia only thought it was a story and very interesting, so she was fascinated by it and was completely immersed in it.
I don't know how long it took, but a scene suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Xia's eyes. It was a cliff, with a patch of morning glow in the sea of clouds in the distance, and on the cliff, someone was sitting with his back to her. It was a Taoist priest wearing gray and white Taoist robes.
Zhu Xia was not stupid, and he quickly guessed that the Taoist sitting with his back to him was the legendary Taoist ancestor.
She walked a few steps curiously, came not far behind Dao Zu, and took the initiative to ask: "Are you Dao Zu?"
Daozu didn't turn around, he just laughed, his voice was very soft, like a wisp of wind between heaven and earth, "Since you know, why do you still ask?"
Zhu Xia pouted and muttered: "You have to confirm it."
"Daozu, are all the stories in your book true?"
Zhu Xia asked curiously: "Those stories are very interesting. Are there any other stories you can tell?"
Dao Ancestor still did not turn around, but said with some surprise: "So many Taoist monks met me in the past and asked me if I had any secrets to teach. Why don't you care and just want to hear the story?"
"Oh, did you tell them?"
Zhu Xia really didn't seem interested in this matter.
"No, because I am just a mark, and I am not the real Taoist ancestor."
Dao Ancestor was a monk who didn't know how many years ago, and he died long ago. Even if there is some way to leave something behind, it is impossible to be a complete Dao Ancestor.
"Then it makes no difference whether you ask or not." Zhu Xia said matter-of-factly.
However, Daozu laughed and said, "Actually, there is no difference. It's just that you, a little girl, are very different. You have a pure Taoist heart. I have never met many such people in my life."
Zhu Xia didn't know what to say, so she just smiled.
Daozu said slowly: "Since you like to listen to stories, I will tell you a few more stories. Come next to me. This morning glow is very beautiful."
Zhu Xia took a few steps forward and finally sat next to Daozu, but quickly shook his head and said: "I have seen the most beautiful morning glow in the world, in Chixin Temple."
Daozu shook his head, "What is the most beautiful?"
Zhu Xia frowned and said, "Yun Jianyue said that the morning glow is the most beautiful when viewed infatuatedly. I came to see it and I also think it is the most beautiful."
"There are ten thousand people in the world, and nine thousand people say it is like this, does that mean it must be like this? Even if there are 9,999 people who say it is like this, but you don't think it is like this, then that means it is like this?"
The Taoist Ancestor laughed slowly and said: "The same Taoism, the same practice, but different people must have different levels of high and low. The same is true for the same view of the world.
Individuals have different definitions of what is most beautiful. You say that the morning glow is the most beautiful when you look at it infatuatedly, but I say that the morning glow at this moment is the most beautiful. How do you refute me?"
Zhu Xia thought for a while and said: "It's very simple. If you have seen Chaoxin's Chaoxin, you will come to a conclusion."
Daozu shook his head again and said: "Then what if after seeing it I feel it's not as good as the morning glow now?"
Zhu Xia frowned and began to think about this problem.
Daozu smiled and said: "If I must think so, then no matter what, you can't convince me."
Zhu Xia said dissatisfied: "Then according to what you say, you must say that a cat is a dog, and no one can convince you. But a cat is a cat. Doesn't it mean that if you say it is a dog, it becomes a dog?"
"
Daozu said indifferently: "The world in everyone's eyes is different. Even things that have been agreed upon in the world and have been finalized will be different. This is especially true for things like cultivating the Tao. If you stick to the rules, you can only get as far as you can.
Only when you can see the place and have your own ideas can you go to the unknown."
Daozu's voice was very soft, and what he said seemed to be just some superficial principles, but it also seemed to be a kind of mantra.
Zhu Xia suddenly asked: "Then can you tell me what it is that you practice in Taoism?"
Daozu laughed, "If you ask me, it's better to ask yourself. Everyone's Tao is different. My Tao is just my Tao, and your Tao is your Tao. The answer I tell you may be universal and universal."
Correct, but it may not be good for you."
Zhu Xia thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "I don't want to hear these things. You'd better tell me a story."
Daozu was startled, and then sighed: "That's it."
Zhu Xia asked in confusion: "What kind?"
Daozu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are very good."
…
…
Watching the outside infatuatedly.
The master of the temple stood on the mountain road with a calm expression, while the two kings stood with their hands behind their hands, looking calm and calm.
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "How about this?"
Emperor Liang said calmly: "Excellent."
The viewer immediately nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Now that it's settled, I'll go back."
The Demon Emperor turned around and was about to go down the mountain.
The visitor suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to go and look elsewhere?"
The Demon Emperor stopped and asked, "Where do you want me to go? Look at that old monk or the one with the sword?"
The viewer smiled and said: "They are more interesting than me. The old monk knows much more. As for the one with the sword, if we really want to fight, Your Majesty will be very satisfied."
The Demon Emperor smiled indifferently and said nothing. He just turned into a wisp of demonic energy and instantly dissipated between heaven and earth.
Emperor Liang looked up.
The owner of the temple looked at the Emperor of Liang again and asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty, coming into the temple to have a sip of tea?"
Emperor Liang said softly: "If I go in, will you regret not trying to kill me?"
"It's all over. What's the point of regretting it? Even if a man as talented and wise as your Majesty is going to die, he shouldn't die like this."
The viewer smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, if I were not in this position, I would have wanted to make friends with someone like His Majesty."
Emperor Liang said calmly: "You and I will never be friends in this life."
The viewer sighed: “That’s why I feel so sorry.”
"But maybe one day you will die in my hands, or maybe I will die in your hands. You can't say this kind of thing."
Emperor Liang didn't care much about this kind of thing. Whatever the outcome was, it would be whatever it was. If he didn't want to accept it, it wouldn't happen. That was impossible.
The master of the temple said softly: "Your Majesty, why do you need to do this? As it is now, everyone has room for it."
Emperor Liang didn't speak in a hurry, but quietly looked at the infatuation in the distance for a few times, and then said: "When the late emperor didn't choose me to ascend the throne, didn't he have the same idea as you? It's just a lifetime. If you can't do anything,
That's all, just live happily and happily, but now that you're here and have so many possibilities, would you be willing to do nothing if it were you?"
The viewer laughed and said: "They are not in the same place, not the same person. I would not think of it and would not think about it. Your Majesty and I would not think about it. After all, your majesty and I are talking about it like a chicken. I am afraid that there will be no result after talking for three days and three nights."
It's just that we can only do the things His Majesty wants to do."
Emperor Daliang smiled indifferently and said, "The story between you and me, between Daliang and Fang Wai, is very long. Tell it slowly and read it slowly."
The temple owner smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are still some good disciples in Pindao Temple. I believe they are not bad. Your Majesty should be more careful."
"I have some good young people, too."
Emperor Liang glanced at the viewer and disappeared on the mountain road.
The viewer looked at the place where Emperor Daliang disappeared and murmured softly: "It's really troublesome."
——
At the beginning of the founding of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao summoned his ministers to compile the laws of Daliang and established iron laws for the entire Daliang Dynasty. Many laws of the previous dynasty were abolished and the official system was also changed a lot. However, some things remained unchanged, so
Just like the imperial examination, the previous dynasty was used without any changes.
】
As for the rest of the big and small things, it would actually take me three days and three nights to talk about them, but one of them, not too big or too small, actually triggered extensive discussions.
That's the problem with Taishi Ling.
Throughout the dynasties, the position of historian, like the throne, was hereditary. After the father died, the son succeeded. If there were no children, the elder brother succeeded the younger brother. However, when Emperor Taizu Gao came, many people wrote to abolish this system. The reason
It's quite simple, that is, the historians have been passed down from generation to generation, and not every generation of historians is necessarily an upright person, and the history books are the top priority, so many ministers have written letters, wanting to change the post of Taishi Ling to an appointment from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
In order to ensure that all the historians of the past dynasties were upright and upright people, this incident caused a huge uproar in the capital city, and finally ended with the last Taishi Ling of the previous dynasty being killed in front of the imperial city.
At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao looked at the body of Taishi Ling and simply said, "Why don't you worry if he can do this?"
So the matter remained as usual. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the Taishi Ling had changed several positions, but in the end it was still the same.
Today is the first month of the month. As usual, Taishi Ling bound all the events recorded in the previous month into a book and brought them to the Shige in the imperial city for sealing.
Shige is located in the imperial city and is heavily guarded on weekdays. Except for some school clerks and Taishi Ling, no outsiders are allowed to enter, even the Prime Minister.
But when Taishi Ling came to the Shige today, he found that the gate of the Shige was open. This was contrary to common sense. Taishi Ling looked at the two guards guarding the door with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"
The two guards gave a bitter smile and just said softly: "You will know when you get in."
Taishi Ling snorted coldly, but didn't say much and quickly stepped into it.
The layout in Shigeli is simple, with rows and rows of bookshelves. The bookshelves are all black and have an inexplicable luster. They are not made of wood, but a special kind of gold and stone, which is not afraid of water and fire. What is placed on the bookshelves is
Boxes made of the same material, all dynasties have paid great attention to the storage of historical records. After all, the history of a dynasty is here. If it is accidentally destroyed, it will be a loss that no one can bear.
Taishi Ling walked forward with the file in his arms, and soon saw a figure in front of a bookshelf. Just as he was about to speak, Taishi Ling was startled and realized who it was.
"His Majesty."
Putting the file in his hand aside, Taishi Ling bowed and saluted.
The person who came here was none other than Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang didn't turn around, he just looked at the table by the window and asked, "Do you usually write history there?"
Tai Shiling did not answer this question, but said angrily: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, you should not appear here."
According to historical records, apart from the daily events of the Liang Dynasty, the most important thing is the daily life of the emperor. These historical records will be recorded separately to ensure that any emperor will have a complete life record.
According to the rules, the emperor was not allowed to enter the History Pavilion, let alone read the history books.
Emperor Liang turned his head and glanced at Tai Shi Ling, and said straight to the point: "I want to see how the history books record that incident."
After taking the throne, His Majesty the current emperor, although he did not do very well in some things, overall, he is definitely a talented and strategic king, who can be called a wise king. But before he took the throne, His Majesty the Emperor
, it is always difficult for people to comment on the things he did when he took office.
"Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, you cannot read the history of the current dynasty, let alone the history of your Majesty."
Tai Shiling shook his head and spoke harshly.
Emperor Liang looked at him, "What if I must see it?"
Tai Shiling raised his head and looked directly into His Majesty's eyes, "Then kill me first. Your Majesty will not see me alive!"
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "You are not afraid of death."
"Since I am a historian, I must do this, otherwise I will be sorry for my ancestors and sorry for the official robe I am wearing."
Tai Shiling was unwilling to compromise, even in the face of life and death.
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "I just want to take a look, and I don't want to change it."
Tai Shiling still shook his head, "No."
Emperor Liang did not get angry and asked again: "Let me see the part about the queen?"
"no."
Taishi Ling still refused.
Emperor Liang didn't say anything, he just came to the table and sat down and said: "Since you don't want to read it, tell me what is written on it."
Tai Shiling shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is not possible."
Emperor Liang looked at him and said nothing.
Tai Shiling solemnly said: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, I want to record today's events in a book. In addition, your Majesty, please leave this place immediately."
Emperor Liang ignored him, just turned to look out the window and smiled.
