Chapter 239 The green-robed immortal guest appears again, Li Guan realizes the Dharma as soon as he observes the Tao(1/3)
In the Academy, the changes in the Peasant School immediately aroused reactions from the other schools in the Academy. Many students felt a sense of surprise that the entire Peasant School had left, and immediately burst out laughing.
Some Confucian disciples feel that the peasant school is meaningless in the general trend of the world.
That was the school of thought in its heyday.
In troubled times, Legalism emphasizes laws to calm the people, Confucianism guides the country with benevolence and righteousness, the sons of political strategists gallop around the countries, and military generals and counselors can strengthen their troops and strengthen their military power. The ideas of the peasant school take time to see results.
.
In troubled times, it would be too slow.
A disciple asked the palace masters.
The Confucian King Gongyangsu just smiled and said: "The academy gathers here for the sake of morality in the heart. Now that the peasant family has seen where their morality lies, they naturally want to leave here. Not only do they have to leave, but they should do so happily.
leave."
One of the two innates of the Taoist sect calmly answered the disciple's question:
"Following the path is the best thing to do."
Another disciple asked the old Living Buddha from China, and the old monk said:
"Zhongzhou is not a place where the peasant school can thrive, so we should naturally leave here. Zhongzhou is the capital of the world, and every inch of land is precious. The peasant school here, except for the name of the leader of the academy, can hardly get even a piece of land."
"The number of farm disciples today is more than half that of a hundred years ago."
"Students all over the world want to be able to become princes and prime ministers and show their ambitions to show off their knowledge; even if what the peasants advocate is more acceptable than the Mohist school, it is not as good as it is. How many disciples who come to the academy are willing to go
Study crops and farming?”
The disciple asked: "But the name in the academy that has been inherited for 800 years by the peasant family should be given up?"
The old monk replied: "It is also a good thing to let go."
The person who came to inquire would still insist on saying: "I don't understand, this is the foundation upon which all the sages of farmers have stood. To throw it away like this and go to a place like Jiangnan would be too much of a loss. Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
The old monk asked his disciple to hold a porcelain cup, then he took the teapot on the table and poured water, and said: "Did you put it down?"
The disciple said: "You don't have to let it go."
The old monk was suspicious, glanced at the steaming teapot, and continued to pour the tea. The hot tea had already been poured on the palm of the disciple's hand, and his palm was red. However, he still said upright: "Disciple, don't put it down.
"
The old monk was silent and said: "What level has Shisan Heng achieved in his practice?"
The disciple showed a shy smile and said, "Water and fire can no longer invade."
Bang!
The iron teapot in the old monk's hand hit him on the head with a bang.
The old monk beat him violently, and the disciple ran away with his head in his hands.
Then the old living Buddha cursed:
"Have you let it go?! Have you let it go?!"
The disciples scurried away with their heads in their hands.
The Buddhist master of Zhongtu Buddhism put down the teapot and looked at the teapot in his hand. The great monk who had been beaten away appeared again and shouted: "But, the Living Buddha, the peasant school has not encountered any problems in Zhongzhou."
Such suppression."
The old monk replied:
"The academy in China is a place for studying, but it is not a place for dealing with the world. The blows suffered by the Mohist family are no less than these. Over the past eight hundred years, it has become the knowledge in the academy."
"It's just that we didn't hammer the students. Isn't there enough hammering on the school?"
"If we continue, the peasant school will be the only school left."
"I think you, a little baldhead, deserve a hammer!"
The old living Buddha grabbed the Buddha statue and swung it vigorously.
So the Buddhist disciple covered his face and ran away.
Contrary to the expectations of the world, all the six masters of the academy had no objections to the departure of the Nongjia School. When the Zhongzhou clan sent officials to rebuke the academy, the old master of the Mo family even touched his chin.
Hu Zhazi said cheerfully:
"I don't know. Is there still a shortage of people in Jiangnan?"
"My Mo family has quite a few disciples."
The clan members were frightened so hard that they didn't dare to mention this matter again. They could only hear the Mohist giant laughing loudly.
Ji Zichang, the great emperor of Zhongzhou, did not get angry because of this and blamed the academy, but even so, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart——
Although he did not think that the theories of the Xuegong Peasant School could be used, he still had a common problem with the royal family.
I may not use you, I may not appoint you, but you cannot leave.
I cannot tolerate you leaving my command and scope.
King Gongyangsu and Ji Zichang were playing chess. Ji Zichang said:
"The land south of the Yangtze River is small and the strategic point between the two countries. After more than ten years of war and confrontation, the people are exhausted. Even with the support of Qin Wuhou, with the peasant school style, it will take several years or even years to produce results.
Ten years will be extremely difficult."
"If there is any war involved, it will be a failure."
"Maybe the knowledge and inheritance of farmers will be cut off."
King Gongyang Su didn’t answer.
So Ji Zichang said again:
"I heard that Confucianism has a saying that if you are good at learning, you will be an official."
"There is no official in the world better than the royal family. Is it reasonable for a farmer to leave Zhongzhou?"
King Gongyangsu said: "If you learn well, you will become an official. This is just what Zixia, a disciple of the Master, said."
Ji Zichang said: "So, what are the principles of Confucius and Confucianism?"
King Gongyangsu gave birth to a son and replied:
"The Master's principles cannot be explained in a few words, but another school of thought has such principles."
"A gentleman's official position is to act righteously."
“It’s already known that the Tao is not working.”
A gentleman becomes an official just to pursue morality. The so-called road is difficult and wishes are difficult to fulfill. This was already known when he did this.
Gongyang Suwang said: "Confucianism does not only talk about being an official."
"It's just that the world took some parts of Confucianism and misinterpreted them to persuade others to follow their own ideas. They were just using the reputation of the Master to make themselves heard over other people's arguments. In the long run, Confucianism declined."
"As the peasant school says, he who knows the road ahead is difficult and walks on it is a gentleman."
"It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise I would have played the lute and sang songs to send you off."
So Ji Zichang, who wanted to get the support of King Gongyang Su, hit a wall and had to leave. He felt very regretful. Judging from the feedback from the ministers sent to the other palace lords, all factions condoned this matter.
.
Only the officials of the Yin Yang family and Ji Zichang came to visit. Zhongtian Beiji asked who sent him. The official pointed to the sky and said, "It was sent by the sun."
It means that you are like the sun.
The leader of the Yin and Yang family laughed, pointed to his eyes, and said leisurely: "I have been blind for a long time and have not seen the light of day."
Ji Zichang's ministers were speechless for a while.
"Then please let me know, Grand Master, if there are any great talents from the Yin Yang family?"
The leader of the Yin-Yang family added: "Unfortunately, if we are looking for the big sect of the Yin-Yang family, we do have two great talents in this lineage. One of them is Si Ming, the commander of the world."
This one was left to Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen, with the appearance of a dragon and phoenix, and the appearance of the sky; to Ye Buji, Zhou Liuying left "Kan is like two tigers, the roaring wind follows the dragon, pinching it to fly", and Yan Daiqing left it.
The merit lies in other countries.' The old men who judged the verdict said with a smile:
"When I was just a little kid, he was the Commander of Ming. At that time, I thought that this was a legend. His power was profound and unfathomable. I'm afraid he was not far away from the head of the Yin Yang family at that time, who was also my teacher.
."
"Later, when I was in my forties, I became the head of the Yin Yang family, and he was still the commander."
"At that time, I felt that the distance between me and him was even further. I felt that if I had a life span of three hundred years, I might be able to compete with him. Now I am blind for sixty years, watching the world quietly, but I can't even see his back.
I can’t even see it.”
The minister remained silent for a long time and said, "Where is this person?"
The head of the Yin Yang family replied: "In the world."
The minister was speechless and could only turn to ask: "So, do you dare to ask another great talent?"
The head of the Yin and Yang family replied: "The other one is Si Wei, who is well known to you. He controls the changes of Yin and Yang, and uses the rotation of the five elements to form a formation."
