Chapter 425: The Pillars of the Country
When we arrived inside Lingyan Pavilion, we discovered that Lingyan Pavilion was not as splendid, luxurious and luxurious as others had imagined. On the contrary, the overall architectural style was very old, low-key, and unpretentious. Pictures were hung on the walls of the wooden corridors.
The calligraphy and painting, the fonts are vigorous and powerful, the paintings are lifelike and extremely expressive. Every ancient stone brick reveals the accumulation of a long history, so much so that if any one of the stone bricks is dug out and taken outside, it can be sold for the price of a gold brick of the same weight.
.Everywhere reveals the antique poetry and calligraphy temperament of the entire Lingyan Pavilion.
Even the servants living here will be infected with this poetry and calligraphy temperament, but the difference is that their poetry and calligraphy temperament is more of an arrogant temperament that claims to be superior to others.
Since ancient times, in the old society, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and scholars, as a temporary class among "scholars and peasants", naturally looked down on people from other classes. Of course, it cannot be said that all scholars in the world are like this. There are still some who are worthy of taking the world as their own responsibility.
Respected scholars. But it is undeniable that only a few are worthy of respect, and most still have a natural arrogance.
This type of scholar has many characteristics, the biggest one is double standards. Reading can understand many truths, but the truths in the world are often contradictory.
To give an example: Okay? Don’t turn back to the prodigal; but the truth also says: The prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he turns back.
There are other things like this: Rabbits don’t eat the grass beside their nests - those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first.
A man is a man who would rather die than surrender - a man is a man who can bend and stretch
In the sky, I wish to be a pair of winged birds, and in the earth, I wish to be a pair of branches - Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes
It’s not too late to mend the situation after it has been lost—It’s too late to mend the situation after it has been lost
I will not offend others unless they attack me - strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster
People go to higher places - it's too cold at high places
Spare people when you have the chance to spare them - let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries - there is nothing in the world, no one bothers with it
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse - a plucked phoenix is not as big as a chicken
A young man is better than a blue man - ginger is still spicy when he is old
If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it; if things are uneven, someone will take care of it - sweep the snow in front of your door, don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles
Wherever sincerity comes, gold and stone will open up - don't hang yourself on a tree,
A loyal minister does not care about two masters - a good bird chooses a tree to roost in
The narration said: Where is my 40-meter sword? If this author doesn't stop, I will hack the guy named Ye Yu to death.
Principles cannot be unified, but are contradictory, otherwise there would be no such thing as a debate in this world. Therefore, principles can only be reduced to the point where smart readers can play with them however they want, no matter what the situation.
He can criticize you from the moral high ground. At that time, you'd better pray that you have the fist to silence that kind of sophist.
There used to be a scholar named Chen. He always acted like a master asking questions when meeting people. It was very intimidating. Do you think he had anything to say?
All in all, it turns out that Kong Yiji was either plagiarizing the records of the ancients, following the past, and not knowing how to adapt his behavior. There are many truths that the ancients could not understand and explain clearly for thousands of years, and countless people spent their whole lives working hard. Even the saints are like this,
What's more, ordinary people who plagiarize the teachings of saints?
Or it's a simple truth that can be explained in one sentence, such as stopping at a red light and going on a green light, picking up money without being ignorant, buying a ticket and not jumping in line. He would also like to give you an explanation of ten thousand words or not hundreds of thousands of words.
What's even more sad is that this scholar surnamed Chen is still a top swordsman. You can't beat him, and you don't even have the qualifications or opportunity to shut him up.
There is an adjective to describe him, which I think is very appropriate. It is a "learned and rich child". A learned and rich child refers to a person who likes to show off his schoolbags, and a child refers to a person who does not understand what the real truth is.
The truth should be something that you understand and practice consistently throughout your life, rather than a tool and excuse to justify yourself after jumping around double standards.
In addition, this kind of scholars also like to make mysteries to show the huge gap that is insurmountable between themselves and ordinary people at the bottom. For example, if something can be explained in one paragraph, they would like to recite seven or eight ancient poems or allusions and put them together for you. This leads to
Everyone is a riddler. If something is unclear, he will come up with a bunch of poems and allusions to show off.
To put it simply, these people are reasoning for the sake of reasoning, because reasoning can highlight the superiority and detachment of their class of scholars.
Similarly, Ye Feng also likes to reason, but he never talks for the sake of reasoning. He only talks with a clear purpose and to give others a chance to survive. And he never says that he can't stick to the truth.
Ye Feng has never regarded himself as a scholar. He only regards himself as a researcher, a researcher who studies the truth of the world. This is also the reason why he has some affection for Qing Ni. After all, Ye Feng is a person who is drowning in the ocean of knowledge. If he is not
People who understand this feeling will only think that Ye Feng's brain was squeezed by the door, and he was kicked and critically hit by the donkey's hoof.
Therefore, Ye Feng is not disgusted with being a groom, nor does he have any pedantic thoughts like a scholar.
It's a little digressive, let's get back to the topic
In a six-person chat group,
Jiang Yu said: "I didn't expect this second prince to be quite frugal."
Li Dukang said: "Frugal? Every piece of wood used in the houses here is at least a thousand years old. In terms of value, it is ten times more expensive than the same volume of gold. Every calligraphy and painting in the corridor is priceless.
There are authentic works from the Tang Dynasty, and even the last writings from the later years of my old friends who have not been heard from in their later years."
The fat man said: "You mean this is the Golden House?"
"The term "Golden House" is a bit unfair to describe this place. What you smell is the fragrance of literature and literature exuding here, but all I smell is the blood of countless poor people who starved to death." Li Dukang looked at it with cold eyes.
He said while looking around.
"Well, they are indeed scum of the common people. How about we find an opportunity to rob the rich and give to the poor, steal a few floor tiles and go out to help a poor man like me." Jiang Yu said.
"..." Everyone was speechless, and then Jiang Yu was kicked out of the six-person chat group.
But then the six-person chat group was closed because the banquet hall arrived
After all, it is a place to receive banquets for outsiders. The decoration here is the normal royal and wealthy style. It is decorated with carved beams and painted walls, and is magnificent. The wide area is filled with gold bars. The people sitting behind the bars, with big bellies and luxurious clothes, are hugging each other.
, with the beauty in their arms, feeling contented. When these people saw the second prince coming in, they all put aside the beauties on the left and right, and immediately stood up and bowed to the second prince.
Everyone shouted in unison, "Your Highness is a thousand years old."
The second prince glanced at Ye Feng meaningfully and said with a smile: "Prince Ye, I specially invited these people to accompany you to entertain you. Each of these people will be the future pillars of our Great Qin Kingdom."
