Chapter 1,737: Discussing mysteries and Taoism, the situation is worrying
Chapter 1737: Discussing metaphysics, the situation is worrying
The Xie family of Chen County pays great attention to the heirloom of poetry and calligraphy.
Even the concierge is a bit bookish.
Su Mingzhe chatted with the other party for a few words, then turned to Mingyan and joked:
"Mingyan, if you can reach this old brother's level in the future, the position of the chief steward of the Su Mansion will be yours."
"Master, I will try my best not to disappoint you!"
Mingyan has a lazy temperament, and asking him to study is no different from forcing him to die.
Su Mingzhe made a few jokes. The boy's face was full of pain, and he obviously had no hope of becoming the steward of the Su Mansion.
…
Not long after, the maid Qingyin came to the door to welcome Su Mingzhe into the house.
"Here you go, girl!"
Su Mingzhe saluted the maid Qingyin generously and followed her towards the side hall of Xie's Mansion.
When Su Mingzhe sat down, Qingyin went back to the back hall and asked Daoyun to go out to entertain the guests.
…
"Qingyin, what is Mr. Su's character like?"
Xie Daoyun didn't know the purpose of Su Mingzhe's visit, and he was worried that the other party was looking for trouble. He was very anxious and couldn't calm down.
"Mr. Su is handsome, handsome, and handsome. He is worthy of Miss Zhou."
Although Qingyin is a maid, she is talented enough to be kept by a talented woman like Xie Daoyun.
Her comments immediately made Xie Daoyun frown:
"Qingyin, I'm asking you what Mr. Su's character is like, not your appearance."
After hearing this, Qingyin couldn't help but scream:
"Miss, how can I, a little maid, have the ability to test Mr. Su's character?"
Xie Daoyun looked embarrassed and could only sigh softly, then bravely went to the side hall.
…
In this era, it was important for men and women not to be intimate with each other.
Therefore, even if Su Mingzhe holds the name card of Nishan Academy, Xie Daoyun can only meet him through a gauze curtain.
Although there was a gauze curtain, Xie Daoyun could still see Su Mingzhe's face clearly.
It was this glance that made a stunning light flash in her clear eyes, and then she felt pity for the sister of the Zhou family:
"This Su Lang's face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like stars, and his power is as beautiful as the abyss. His appearance is even more beautiful than Pan An's, and his manners are as beautiful as Song Yu... If the sister of the Zhou family had met this Su Lang in advance, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to
As for running away from marriage."
"Mr. Xie——"
Su Mingzhe saw Xie Daoyun appear and bowed to him. At the same time, he sent an invitation letter from the mountain chief Wang Shiyu.
"Master Su, please sit down!"
Xie Daoyun returned the gift, sat down on the couch, and after receiving the invitation letter from the maid, he knew the purpose of Su Mingzhe's visit.
After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she immediately politely declined:
"Master Su, Dean Wang has given you too much praise, and Xie Daoyun is not talented enough to teach, so he will not go to Nishan to mislead his disciples."
Su Mingzhe had long expected Xie Daoyun's rejection.
After all, it is the mainstream of the times that men and women are not intimate with each other and that men and women are different.
Even if Xie Daoyun doesn't care, she still has to consider the Xie family's reputation.
Wang Shiyu was able to think of inviting Xie Daoyun because he couldn't find any other celebrities. Secondly, he was old and had a much broader mind than others.
…
Because Wang Shiyu once told Su Mingzhe that he would not be blamed whether the invitation was successful or not.
After being rejected, Su Mingzhe did not continue to persuade, but instead asked Xie Daoyun for advice in the name of seeking knowledge.
This was also the most popular elegant thing among celebrities and literati during the Wei and Jin Dynasties - talking about metaphysics and Taoism.
The "Xuan" and "Tao" here do not only refer to Taoism, Taoism, and Taoism, but refer to "One Feng, Two Fu, Three Mysteries, Four Books, and Five Classics."
One style is "national style".
The second Fu is Fu from the Han Dynasty.
The three mysteries are Laozi, Zhuangzi and Zhouyi.
The four books are "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius".
The Five Classics are: The Book of Songs, The Book of Documents, The Book of Rites, The Book of Changes, and The Spring and Autumn Annals.
Among them, "Guofeng" was compiled into "The Book of Songs".
The Book of Changes is respected as a classic by both Confucianism and Taoism.
…
As one of the four most talented women in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xie Daoyun was slightly inferior to Ban Zhao, Cai Wenji, and Zhuo Wenjun in terms of historical status, but her talent and learning were indeed top-notch.
If Su Mingzhe brings up any topic, Xie Daoyun can easily answer it by quoting scriptures.
If you are an ordinary student, when facing Xie Daoyun, even if you don't want to admit her talent, you will be impressed by her life experience.
However, Su Ming's philosophical knowledge was far better than that of Xie Daoyun, and he was not afraid of the power of the Xie family.
Ever since, a simple topic was pushed to the limit, and until sunset, the two of them had a real heated argument, but there was no winner or loser.
This situation often occurs among literati.
Sometimes everyone talks about mysteries and can delay it for several months before deciding whether to win or lose.
At this moment, Xie Daoyun saw that it was getting late and took the initiative to invite Su Mingzhe to stay overnight.
Naturally, Su Mingzhe would not refuse.
On the second day.
After a night of preparation, Xie Daoyun continued to pull Su Mingzhe to continue yesterday's topic.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Su Mingzhe has been staying at Xie's house for three days.
During these three days, Xie Daoyun and Su Mingzhe talked about mysteries and Taoism, which was very agreeable, and they have become confidants and helpful friends.
This day.
Xie Daoyun rarely invited Su Mingzhe to visit Dongshan instead of continuing to talk about Taoism.
When the two of them stood in the pavilion on the ridge, sipping tea soup, eating torreya fruits, and looking into the distance.
I saw fish scale pits with distinct layers (terraced fields), endless torreya trees, and Li people working endlessly.
Su Mingzhe suddenly sighed leisurely.
Xie Daoyun, who was watching the scenery, was interrupted by the man's long sigh, and asked curiously:
"Master Su, isn't this scenery beautiful?"
"beautiful."
Su Mingzhe sighed:
"It's a pity that such beautiful scenery cannot exist for a long time. This makes people sigh with regret!"
"Young master, are you worried about the court?"
As the most famous child of the Xie family, Xie Daoyun still received a lot of court information even though she was a woman.
Su Mingzhe just sighed and was reminded by her of the court structure.
"good!"
Su Mingzhe did not deny it, and even said bluntly:
"During the Northern Expedition of the Great Governor (Huan Wen), many people in the imperial court held back, which led to the failure of the Great Governor's Northern Expedition. Now the Great Governor is recuperating in Jingzhou on the surface, but in fact, he is frantically wooing important ministers in the court. I hope everyone will support
He sat in that position."
"He won't succeed!"
Xie Daoyun is a child of a top family, so he naturally knows that the family is not optimistic about him and does not support Huan Wen.
Without the support of a powerful family, Huan Wen's desire to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor is simply a fantasy.
Faced with Xie Daoyun's categorical denial, Su Mingzhe nodded silently, expressing his agreement with Xie Daoyun's point of view.
But then, Su Mingzhe sighed again:
"I am worried now that after the Grand Governor leaves, whether the successor will have the magnanimity of the Grand Governor... If the court and local state capitals will fall apart, and the northern barbarians will take the opportunity to go south, the consequences will be disastrous..."
More than ‘unthinkable’.
Xie Daoyun imagined that if the situation mentioned by Su Mingzhe really happened, there would be three extreme situations.
First, the imperial court sent troops to block the Hulu offensive from the north.
Second, the successor of the Grand Governor sent troops to block the Hulu offensive in the north.
Third, no one can defeat the northern offensive, and the barbarians will overwhelm their horses in the south of the Yangtze River.
Judging from the situation envisaged by Su Mingzhe, the first two are basically impossible to occur.
At that time, the imperial court will either fall to the barbarians or the warlords.
