[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

How should people live?

How should I die?

Everyone has more or less explored the mysteries of life.

But every civilization, every class, and every individual has different meanings and understandings of life.

Some people are born to be God's servants, thinking about returning to the kingdom of heaven after death.

Some people try to live forever, and their bodies are immortal.

Some people yearn for wealth and are willing to be buried under a golden coffin.

However, there is a group of people who worship their ancestors.

They recorded the deeds of their ancestors one by one, and passed them on from generation to generation, so this became a 'history' and a 'learning'.

Every character in the "history" has become a "sage" and a "sage".

The so-called learning, its essence, is the learning of sages and sages.

They praised the way of sages and sages as the most noble knowledge in the world.

Unfortunately, this has created countless rotten scholars.

Things should not have been like this, and pedantic people have lost their knowledge and made their knowledge rotten.

But in this knowledge, there is an ultimate code hidden. This code has been imprinted in the bones of every schoolchild since the scholars started babbling and reciting the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classics". .

maybe many people

I have forgotten how people admired saints and sages when I was a child.

In the process of chasing fame and fortune, I gradually forgot the deeds of those heroes and Confucians, but deep down in my heart, it started from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to Zhou Gong, then to Confucius and Mencius, to Dou Yujun, to Ban Chao. , Zhang Qian, to Zu Ti, Heng Wen, Xie An, and even Tai Zu Gao Emperor's deeds, but they will be awakened at any time.

Well, if you want to answer this question, for Confucianists, they generally say that they should be virtuous in life and holy in death.

The one who secures the world, makes great contributions, and builds a great cause is a virtuous person.

Open up the learning of the world, promote the holy learning, and extend the reputation of the four directions as holy.

This is the fundamental, unchanging thing.

It is the ultimate goal pursued by all scholars. If it can be born from this, happy! If you can die because of this, you will have no regrets in death!

Under this ultimate goal, whether it is Neo-Confucianism or Xinxue, there is no difference in essence. The only difference between them is that they have different paths towards the goal.

The way of Confucius and Mencius is the way to transcend the ordinary and become a saint, but some people have lost their ambitions halfway, have gradually returned to mediocrity, and have slowly become slaves to sensuality.

Drops of tears flowed down from the corners of Liu Jie's eyes. He hid on the sofa, whimpering and crying like a child.

The journal in my hand has been soaked with tears.

In this periodical, each and every word seems to be whipping his heart, calling in his ears again and again: "Do you still remember the pure self back then, and the young man who swore to be a hero back then? "

He is no longer a teenager.

He is in his thirties.

At this moment, he was like a young man, unable to contain his silent crying.

Look at yourself now, buried in the copybook, copying and writing, complacent about being an imperial scholar; making progress, thinking that I have surpassed all my peers, and has a bright future; when I was in a school, I was still studying His fencing and riding and shooting methods are now increasingly unfamiliar due to his busy schedule; what he thinks about every day is the relationship between people and the intrigue in the officialdom; when he opened his eyes, he was thinking of an unfinished article, What a beautiful ending; when I close my eyes, I think about the length of the family that my wife is nagging in my ears.

But... what about my original ambition?

Now, the flesh has come back to life, where is the past?

With his eyes closed tightly, he couldn't contain the majesty of tears.

So Liu Jie clenched his fists, and finally tore the journal to pieces.

The Liu Mansion... has arrived.

The comfort of the new house can make even the pickiest person unable to pick a single thorn.

Liu Jie entered the mansion and saw the lights in the study, he knew that his father had also been on duty.

So, as in the past, he rushed to the study first.

Sure enough, my father was quietly reading a book here as before.

Liu Jie's eyes seemed a little swollen, but the tears had long since disappeared. The sky outside was dim, and the candlelight in the study shone on his face, leaving a haze, which covered up many expressions on his face .

"Meet my father." Liu Jie remained cautious in front of this loving father.

Liu Jian put down the book, and he nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Liu Jian is very satisfied with his current life.

I am deeply trusted by His Majesty, and I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, and my son is also on the rise. This is a fame that many people can't envy.

He loves this life and is proud of it.

"You look bad?" Liu Jian said with a smile.

"Perhaps I've been a little tired recently." Liu Jie replied flatly.

Liu Jian said: "You are still young, you must know the reason why you don't have to worry about no firewood if you keep the green hills."

"Yes." Liu Jie replied: "The son follows his father's teachings."

"You are just too honest." Liu Jian smiled when he saw Liu Jie pursing his lips, seeing his son beside him

, I can't help but feel warm in my heart, and want to say some heartfelt words: "Sometimes, the old man thinks, if you have a bit of intelligence like your master, you will be really reassured as a father, and your official career is dangerous."

"Father." Liu Jie turned a deaf ear to this, and suddenly his eyes turned red again, wanting to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he tried his best to hold back.

Liu Jian continued to smile and said: "Look, you are here again. You have to be anxious with the old man when you mentioned your master. The old man didn't slander him today. Hey, ordinary people say that girls are outgoing, but in our Liu Jian Home, the man also turned his elbow outward."

Liu Jian quickly comforted: "Okay, okay, admit it for my father, how could you be where you are today without your master, he has the grace of rebuilding you, this point, my father usually doesn't say it, but in my heart, But I do remember that our Liu family is not a ungrateful person. So, you have to remember this kindness and keep it in your heart at all times. As for the old man, receiving his kindness, my heart...is very warm, In some days, the old man will go to his house in person..."

Liu Jian seemed very happy, and he came to visit. This feeling cannot be unfamiliar.

Although doing so may cause some Qingliu doubts, but I, Liu Jian, have been in the cabinet for more than ten years, and I still care about this?

Know how to repay your kindness.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing Liu Jie's silence for a long time, Liu Jian realized Liu Jie's abnormality.

Liu Jie shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my father mentioned Shigong, and it's just a little sentimental."

Liu Jian was happy, he could understand the feelings of his son, who was a sentimental person just like himself.

He then changed the topic: "Come on, let me tell you an interesting thing. Have you read the front page of the Quest journal? That article on the campaign against the West is really brilliant, and it must not be written by your master." , that pen is as sharp as a knife, and it looks like your mentor, that Wang Boan, haha... But come to think of it, this is still your master's idea, your master is really good at making plans, oh, his father wants to conquer the west He started agitating everywhere, hoping that the whole world would follow his father to Huangjinzhou. Look, how powerful this guy is advocating. Li Yan, what is extraordinary, what is holy. Look at his thoughts, dark, really dark, scholars are also human, seeking fame, what to rely on, after all, it is still an imperial examination, but the article makes people lift a three-foot sword, sail thousands of miles, and fight Jianxixing, tell me, is the person who said this still a human being? Oh, he held his head and hid in the arms of Her Royal Highness, saying that his head hurts, but fooling the hot-blooded scholar, ah...don't always With a sullen face, my father didn't mean to slander your master, it was just a joke, once the search periodical came out, there were still princes from various ministries in the cabinet, their mouths were crooked, who didn't know what he was thinking. "

Liu Jie remained silent, without saying a word.

"It's just a matter of deceiving some scholars who don't know much about the world. What's the use of these scholars going to the Golden Continent? It's easy to say, but it's so difficult..."

"Father, I feel a little unwell." Liu Jie finally opened his mouth.

Liu Jian had no choice but to say: "That's it, I'm confused for my father, well, you should go and rest earlier."

"yes."

Liu Jie made a bow, turned around, and walked slowly towards the darkness outside the study, his body gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Looking at the leaving figure, Liu Jian shook his head, thinking about his serious and sullen son every day. Immediately, he laughed again, took the "Searching Journal" on the desk, lowered his head, and began to read softly again, the more he read, the more he felt that Fang Jifan was so hardworking, how many poor scholars this guy would trap, but Fortunately, anyone with insight will not be deceived by him.

………………

Kuai Ma has sent the order to Guiyang.

Fang Jinglong, Marquis of Pingxi accepted the order, all the officials in Marquis Xingyuan of Pingxi were in an uproar.

Going out to sea to open up borders to the west, it is said that there has been a decree, which has been conveyed to various guards.

The soldiers of the various guards cheered endlessly.

Although people leave their homeland, they are like falling leaves.

But military households, there is really no way to live.

The deeds of those sailors and sailors who went to sea have already become legends one after another, and they are sung among the military households. How many people yearn in their hearts to be like them, to make a fortune and become the best in the world.

But for Pingxihou, this is nothing less than a catastrophe. Pingxihou's town in Guizhou is already too expensive, why take this risk and go thousands of miles away, if there is something good or bad on the way, he will lose his life instead It's better to enjoy endless wealth in Guiyang.

Fang Jinglong thanked the grace, held the imperial decree in his hand, breathed out, and said: "Please report back to Your Majesty, I pack my bags, and will soon enter Beijing on horseback and go to sea at any time."

His eyes were piercing, and his words were decisive, leaving no room for bargaining.
