Seeing Lu Qingqing's hesitant expression, Wugou sighed and said, "Don't worry about what the monk thinks. On the sixth day of this month, the monk will go into seclusion and meditate. This is a life-and-death barrier. You must break through it without any worries."
, otherwise it is very likely that he will sleep forever."
"Because of us?"
Wugou chuckled and said: "No, let alone for the common people in the world. Monk, I am like a bottle filled with water. What I need to do now is to condense the water into essence, or change the bottle filled with water.
Big ones, otherwise you will spit out lotus flowers."
Wugou's joke was not funny at all. Yun Zheng didn't understand what the life and death test was, but Lu Qingqing knew it very clearly.
People’s fundamental views and attitudes towards life and death. Different outlooks on life have different value evaluations on life and death, thus forming different outlooks on life and death.
In the history of China, many thinkers have put forward many valuable views on the issue of life and death. Confucius said that "sacrifice one's life to achieve benevolence"; Mencius said "sacrifice one's life for righteousness";
Sima Qian believed that "man is destined to die, and death may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." Zhuangzi believed that life is accidental, and death is inevitable, so there is no need to be too sad.
In life, on the one hand, we must pursue survival and development, on the other hand, we are always faced with the threat of death. This is a contradiction and confusion that is difficult to resolve.
It is this contradiction and dilemma with a strong sense of reality that forces people to constantly think about and explore various solutions to get rid of the troubles of life and death. Confucians realize that human life and death are inevitable phenomena, and they wisely advocate
We should be more detached when dealing with life and death.
When Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, answered his disciple Zilu's question "What about death?" he said: "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" He emphasized that there is no need to ask about things after death, to care about life without thinking about death, and to seek knowledge about life without seeking knowledge.
die.
Mencius, the "lesser sage" of Confucianism, also said: "You will not live long before you die, and you must cultivate your moral character in time, so you should establish your destiny." You don't need to pay too much attention to and care about the length of your life, you only need to devote yourself to your own self-cultivation and destiny. Mencius also proposed "right livelihood"
Contrary to the viewpoint of "non-righteous livelihood", "To die while doing one's best is a righteous livelihood; to die while being shackles is not a righteous livelihood."
This problem also troubles Buddhism. Buddhism believes that life only exists in the breath. For example, a mayfly lives and dies in the morning and evening. Life and death do not mean much to them. One thought can lead to life and one thought can lead to death. Only when the concept of life and death is broken can we realize this.
It is a path that every true eminent monk must take.
"Every drink and peck in this world is destiny. The poor monk will go to the depths of the white clouds to meditate. If we can't see each other again, then we will see you again in the next life. The poor monk is waiting for you at Baiyun Mountain."
After Wugou finished speaking, he bowed and left the Yun family, dragging his shovel and singing a song that no one could understand.
Lu Qingqing sat on the chair irritably, no longer in a good mood to look at this unique golden-winged bird in the world.
It wasn't until Yun Zheng returned home that she asked softly: "I heard that you arrested them all?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "We can't let this matter ferment. The longer it is delayed, the more useless it will be. It's best to cut through the mess quickly.
In the past year, I have almost no interactions with people like Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Anshi, so I am not sure that they will help me, so using Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield is the best way at present.
"
Lu Qingqing bit her lip and said, "Second brother has not accomplished his intended goal. We can only continue to endure it now."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Second brother's failure was within our expectations. It's not a big deal. Even if the Yun family is wealthy, they will naturally have problems acclimatizing to the sea when they first came to the sea. Besides, the problem of population is now ours.
's weakness.
If you want to build your own homeland independently, population is the top priority, otherwise nothing will happen. Unless the war between Song and Liao begins, no one will agree to us taking away their people."
Lu Qingqing looked at her husband and said softly: "Are we going to Beijing?"
Yun Zheng nodded: "Come to Beijing!"
"I don't care about other people's looks, I just worry about my husband being trapped in the shallows. The title of Crown Prince and Taibao is not suitable for you."
Seeing Ge Qiuyan walking in with her child in her arms, Yun Zheng took over his youngest son Yun Zhang and recited: "What do you want when you are transported to the canopy? I didn't dare to turn over and met you. I passed through the bustling city with a broken hat, and the ship's load was leaked.
The wine is flowing in the water. With a cold eyebrow and a thousand fingers, he bows his head and is willing to be a ox. He hides in the small building and becomes a unified person, caring about winter, summer and spring and autumn."
Lu Qingqing laughed out loud, pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "You are thinking very openly. You are still in the mood to write poetry at this time."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Yun follows the dragon, and the tiger travels with the wind. Since Yun Zheng is called the eye-catching white-fronted tiger by others, there must be some movement when he comes back to the capital from the mountain. Let's clean it up. He will return to the capital the day after tomorrow. If he doesn't go back, the emperor will
He would sit up from the bed angrily."
Lu Qingqing said: "There is nothing to take care of. We can start our journey now. Those who should leave have already left. Qin has been away for six days because he wanted to attend His Majesty's birthday. Let's leave tomorrow. After we leave, Shuzhong will also leave."
Even if I have completely lost my thoughts."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "There is nothing ready for the army here. When we came, there were five thousand soldiers, and when we went back, there were only three thousand personal guards. They have already rushed back from the western Yunnan grassland. I left two people in the western Yunnan grassland.
Thousands of soldiers are now responding to Zhang Fangping's request. It seems that this old man doesn't want to go back to Tokyo and wants to be buried among the green mountains and green waters in the middle of Sichuan."
Ge Qiuyan smiled delicately and said: "Then let's go. It's just a pity that Princess Kai Ming left her alone to herd sheep on the grassland of western Yunnan. Is your husband really not planning to take her away?"
Lu Qingqing gritted his teeth and said: "You stupid woman, are you stupid to have a baby? Wei Ming is already pregnant, can't you even see this?"
"Ah!" Ge Qiuyan exclaimed and pointed at Yun Zheng who had quickly left the house: "Her husband's?"
Lu Qingqing said with a dark face: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid thieves will miss me. That slutty woman actually sneaked in to wait on my husband while he was bathing. Don't you know?"
Ge Qiuyan shook his head and said: "I want to feed the child while your husband is taking a bath..."
Lu Qingqing growled in a low voice: "Go back and pack your things. We will leave tomorrow. If we stay, there will be another one in the house..."
April 16th is a good time to travel, cut trees, and build beams... Yunzheng left Doucha Pass and was recalled to Beijing. He was officially appointed as Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, Minister of War, Xun, and Taibao of the Crown Prince. Together with the Prince's Grand Tutor and the Prince's Grand Master, he was collectively known as the Prince's Third Division!
The carriages and horses rustled, and the army walked slowly on the Shu road. In just a few days, Pan Liang's head was already covered with white hair. The monks who were held in the carriages also had short hairs on their scalps.
As for hair, it can be predicted that when the army returns to Tokyo, their hair will be at least two inches long.
The big shackles around their necks have been removed, and the monks can still sit cross-legged on the carriage and try their best to pretend to be a monk. But Pan Liang is like a frightened little animal, curled up in the corner of the carriage and looking around in horror.
As long as the army walked to inaccessible places, he would shout "spare my life" loudly, so he was often beaten by the soldiers.
The thoughts of Tubo demon monks and skinning people kept rolling in his mind, making him dare not relax for a moment.
He hadn't had any serious sleep for seven days in a row. He would wake up from his sleep at the slightest disturbance, and then scream in terror.
The military doctor said that if he looks like this, he will go completely crazy before he survives the city of Tokyo.
When the army marched to Dujiangyan, Yunzheng ordered the entire army to camp at the empty Jiazi Camp, waiting for ships to take him along the Min River and into the Yangtze River.
Pan Liang was washed and brought to Yun Zheng. At this time, he was still wearing the official robe and belt, but his whole body was completely broken.
"Pan Liang, I won't kill you or skin you anymore. I will let you go as long as you do a few things for me. You can continue to be your official and you will never meet me again in this life.
"
Yun Zheng took a sip of tea and looked at Pan Liang, who was huddled under the table and refused to come out no matter what, and said slowly.
Pan Liang carefully stuck his head out and hissed: "I am willing to humble my position, I am willing to humble my position, as long as Marquis Yun sends me, I will not give up even if I die."
"I thought about it for a moment. Liang Ji killed so many monks in Dali. He deserves to be punished. So how about we execute him now?"
Yun Zheng took a tureen and scraped the foam from the tea, and said with a smile.
Pan Liang retracted under the table, hugged the legs of the table and begged loudly for his life. He thought Yun Zheng was telling lies.
Yun Zheng sighed and said, "Come here, bring Liang Ji's head to the Ministry of War for inspection."
After a while, a bearded officer came up carrying a red lacquered plate. On the plate was a human head with an indistinguishable beard and eyebrows.
Pan Liang got out from under the table, looked at the head and said doubtfully, "This is Liang Ji's head."
Yun Zheng nodded.
Pan Liang took out Liang Ji's official certificate from his sleeve, looked at it carefully and said, "The official certificate says that Liang Ji is eight feet tall, has tiger eyes, a swallow forehead, a beard and a red mole on his left ear."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Look, this head matches the description on the official certificate very well."
Pan Liang carefully glanced at the general who was holding the man's head, and said doubtfully: "I don't know the name of this general."
The general smiled and said: "The last general, Duke Liang, is Liang Ji's younger brother."
Pan Liang nodded and said, "No wonder you look so similar."
Yun Zheng threw over a document and said, "Please sign and pledge it."
Pan Liang used his seal on the document without thinking, and then looked up at Yun Zheng, as if he wanted to leave very much.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I have wronged you and all the masters these days. Now we have arrived at the boundary of Chengdu Prefecture. If you want to leave, please leave quickly."
Pan Liang still stared at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng sighed and said, "I said I won't kill you unless I kill you. Don't worry, I will never send anyone to rob and kill you on the road."
Pan Liang cupped his hands and said: "It is better for me to stay in the army. I heard that Yun Shuai is planning to buy a boat to go south. I would like to give Yun Shuai a ride."
Yun Zheng seemed a little annoyed, and shook his sleeves and said, "Whatever you want."
Pan Liang breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Yun Zheng had gone to the back village. He picked up the tea that Yun Zheng had just drank and drank it all in one gulp. Then he greedily held the teapot and drank until he couldn't hold back even a drop of water.
