Chapter 136: One Person, One Family, One Dynasty, One Generation, All Are Trivial Matters? (Subscribe)

Two people were heard complimenting.

The scholar was not happy at all, he just shook his head and suddenly mentioned an unrelated matter.

"Two seniors, do you know how much profit the owner of this teahouse in front of you can make in a year?"

Zhao Chujing and Wang Longhu frowned, confused.

The scholar continued regardless: "There are so many people coming and going in this place, so it is actually very suitable to start a small business."

"Selling tea and water, although the profits are thin, one penny costs a large bowl of tea, and two cents costs three bowls."

"But by relying on the comings and goings of merchants and pedestrians, the daily profit is still very considerable, at least a few hundred dollars."

"However, unless you make an agreement with the soldier at the city gate to share some of the profit with him, and then use part of the money to control nearby gangs and gangsters, and pay some stall fees to the imperial government, you won't be able to continue."

"Plus daily food, living expenses, etc."

"So even if the grandfather and grandson work for a year without taking a break, all they will have left in the end is just a few taels of silver."

"Even the remaining few taels of silver have to be paid to the imperial court such as poll tax."

"In this way, the grandfather and grandson have worked hard for a year. Not to mention making money, it is already good if the business does not lose money."

"In fact, the grandfather and grandson in front of me are already considered good among the lower class people. After all, they can have a job to support themselves. Although life is difficult, they will never die of hunger."

"But, what if you were a lower-class citizen outside Tianjing City?"

When the scholar said this, there was a look of compassion in his eyes, and he said sadly: "Not to mention that I can have a livelihood of my own. I'm afraid I don't even have an acre of meager farmland. I can only rent the land from powerful landlords or wealthy families, and my life is precarious. You can’t even have a full meal all year round.”

"Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, they will become refugees, change their children, eat each other, and starve to death everywhere."

"What's more, more than nine out of ten people in many villages and towns have sold their lives to the families of powerful landlords and have become slaves and maids, with no freedom in life or death."

"Two seniors, the people of China today are really suffering."

"I, Li Wendao, do not overestimate my abilities, but I want to do some trivial things for the people of this world."

The people of China today are suffering too much.

In the future, the people of China will suffer even more.

What is the truth about the Road to Immortality?

As Zuo Siye of Taiyin Academy, how could Li Wendao not know this?

If the Nine Sects, Six Paths, Twelve Aristocratic Families and others were to control the Blood Demon Sect and set off a dynastic calamity that swept across China, I am afraid that not more than one tenth of the millions of people in China would survive in the end.

in other words.

The opening of the road to immortality is a great blessing that is rare in a thousand years for the great figures of the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families.

But for the people at the bottom of China, it was a real disaster.

Li Wendao took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Chujing and Wang Longhu, and said firmly: "I have been enlightened since I was a child. I am talented and have little success. My teacher said that I have wisdom."

"I still remember that when I was young, my mentor asked me about my ambitions."

"I didn't know how high the sky was at that time, so I blurted out the words of a sage, and even said to my mentor, "If I govern a country as an official, I will definitely benefit the people, so that the people of the world will not pick up things on the road and never close their homes at night; if I become the prime minister, the world will be governed and the seas, rivers and rivers will be clear." , share peace and prosperity.”

"At that time, my mentor shook his head and didn't say a word."

"At first, I thought my mentor looked down upon me. I must impress my mentor in the future."

"However, when I read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, I realized how ridiculous my original rhetoric was."

"The last step in the realm of heaven and man is the mind. You need to guard your heart. Whether it is strong or not depends on whether your own mind is strong. Therefore, although the strong men and women are in the same realm, their strengths are completely different. ”

"In the practice of the realm of heaven and man, our Confucians have three stages of establishing words, establishing actions, and establishing the mind, which respectively correspond to the three stages of the realm of heaven and man. Only by integrating knowledge and action can one achieve the status of a Confucian saint."

"The younger generation is arrogant and bases their words on the words of the saints. We should unite our knowledge and actions, establish the holy words, follow the holy conduct, and mold the holy heart. Otherwise, if the soul is dusty, how can we talk about becoming a martial arts immortal?"

"Although this is a way of cultivation for the younger generation, even though it is not enough to overestimate one's ability."

"So, if the two seniors come here to find the junior, they want the junior to give up their ambitions and jointly put pressure on the Daqian court on behalf of Taiyin Academy, but they are looking for the wrong person."

Li Wendao seemed to be sighing, looking down at the two cents in the tea bowl.

The copper coin was round on the outside and square on the inside, which seemed to contain the most profound principles of human nature, which made him have many thoughts.

In fact.

This time he came to Tianjing City, and he took the initiative to apply to come, in order to take a close look at the legendary Thirteenth Prince of Daqian.

What Yang An, the Thirteenth Prince of Daqian, did in Haizhou has now spread all over the world.

Li Wendao knew very well.

This thirteenth prince is already his last choice.

If the thirteenth prince Yang An is really as evil as the legend says, and he is determined to reform the old and create a new millennium of glory for the second generation of the Daqian Dynasty.

He might actually have a chance to realize his promise.

Stand firm in words, stand firm in deeds, and stand firm in mind.

Unity of knowledge and action.

Eventually he achieved the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.

When Zhao Chujing and Wang Longhu heard this, their brows knitted tightly.

Because they didn't know whether Li Wendao's words represented himself or the entire Taiyin Academy.

If only on behalf of Li Wendao himself.

Although a powerful celestial being is a little troublesome, it is not worth mentioning to the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families.

Just as Li Wendao said, his choice is completely overestimating his own ability.

After all, the sage seed is only a sage seed, not a true Confucian and Taoist sage.

Even if Li Wendao really becomes a Confucian and Taoist sage, it is only more troublesome to the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families, but not invincible.

But as mentioned above, Li Wendao's words represent the entire Taiyin Academy.

That would be troublesome.

Although the Taiyin Academy is at the bottom of the Nine Sects and Six Paths, it is not a rival of the Zixiao Palace and the Wudi City.

But the Taiyin Academy can become a sect holy land, and its power and foundation are still not to be underestimated.

If the Taiyin Academy completely turns to the Daqian court.

This is definitely not good news for the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families.

Zhao Chujing frowned even more when he thought of this, and said in a deep voice: "Is this Li Siye's own idea, or Taiyin Academy's idea?"

"Li Siye, as the left Siye of Taiyin Academy, don't let the trivial matters of one person, one family, and one dynasty delay the great matter of maintaining the order of Shenzhou!"

"Hasn't there been a wise ruler in all dynasties?"

"But those who should have died did not die anyway."

"Think of the Song Dynasty 8,000 years ago. The emperors of all dynasties were benevolent and loving the people like their own children. They even chose to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism, making your Taiyin Academy the first school in Shenzhou."

"What was the result?"

"When the Song Dynasty was at its peak, wasn't it slain by your Shangyin Academy?"

Zhao Chujing said with a sneer, looking down on the behavior of Taiyin Academy from the bottom of his heart.

What about establishing holy words, following holy deeds, and shaping holy hearts.

He didn't believe a word of it.

Eight thousand years ago, after the founding emperor of the Dasong Dynasty knew the truth about the road to immortality and the truth about the world of Shenzhou, he chose to unite with the people of Shangyin Academy who were full of morality and righteousness, and even made the move of dismissing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, and put Confucianism on the altar.

What was the result?

It was still seriously damaged by the Huangtian Sect supported by the twelve noble families.

Even the last emperor of the Dasong Dynasty died at the hands of the chief priest of Shangyin Academy, and was successfully slayed by Shangyin Academy, allowing the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to take Tianjing City without bloodshed.

If not.

With the Taoist concept of Taiyin Academy, how could the later dynasties be so defensive against Taiyin Academy?

So Zhao Chujing believed that what Li Wendao said at this time was true, but he did not believe that the old guys in Taiyin Academy could still maintain the ambitions of their youth and make up their minds.

Li Wendao was silent when he heard this.

It was not until a long time later that he said in a deep voice: "These words are only the words of the juniors, and have nothing to do with the Taiyin Academy. If Senior Zhao wants to know the attitude of the Taiyin Academy, he has found the wrong person."

What is the attitude of the Taiyin Academy?

Li Wendao also knows.

In other words, after generations of Taiyin Academy disciples and Confucian scholars in the Taiyin Academy have modified and revised, the current Taiyin Academy is no longer the Taiyin Academy of the past.

Many Confucian saints' classics have also been lost and sunk to the bottom of the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning.

The reason is simple, but also very complicated.

Because for the scholars of the world, they do not need a real saint, nor do they need the words of a real saint.

They only need a saint sculpture and a saint's words that conform to their own words and beliefs.

After all, it is too difficult to become a true Confucian saint.

On the contrary, there is still a glimmer of hope to become a martial arts immortal god through the Confucian practice method.

In addition, there is the existence of the immortal road.

Therefore, within the Taiyin Academy, there are only a few people like Li Wendao who take the words of true saints as the basis of their own words.

Therefore, Li Wendao is very clear that even if he is the Zuo Siye of the Taiyin Academy, his status is only below the Dajiu and Jijiu, and he can only represent himself, not the Taiyin Academy.

"One person, one family, one dynasty, are all trivial matters?"

After hearing what Zhao Chujing said, Li Wendao looked at the two copper coins with round outer edges and square inner edges in the tea bowl and said softly.

As the saying goes: Different paths, no one can make plans together.

In the eyes of Zhao Chujing of Zixiao Palace, the people of Shenzhou and the Daqian Dynasty are insignificant, and the so-called order of heaven and earth is completely in the hands of the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families.

And the so-called acting on behalf of heaven.

is the common will of the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families, and no one in the world can resist.

Of course, the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families are not truly one.

On the contrary, there are all kinds of dirty things going on between these top holy lands, fighting openly and secretly, so how can they become one?

Although the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Families are not one, they are rarely united in opening the road to becoming an immortal, and no one is allowed to destroy it.

After all, this is related to becoming an immortal.

Compared with ascending to immortality and immortality.

What are the people of Shenzhou and the court of a generation?

Even in the eyes of those warriors who truly pursue the great way, let alone the collapse of a dynasty, 90% of the people of Shenzhou are killed or injured.

As long as I can become an immortal and ascend to the immortal world.

Even if the world is completely destroyed and all living beings are extinct, what does it have to do with me?

If I can ascend to immortality and live forever, why would I care about the flood?

Such a concept is undoubtedly completely opposite to the true sage of Confucianism in Yin Academy.

That's why Li Wendao didn't agree with the ideas of the two people in front of him, and even the powerful warriors such as the current aristocratic family sect.

pity.

He is just a warrior who has just entered the realm of a first-level heavenly master in martial arts, not a true Confucian saint.

So he can only represent himself and can't change anything.

The only thing he hopes now is that the legendary Thirteenth Prince of Daqian is really the Mingjun he is looking for, the Holy Emperor of the Human Race that he is looking for.

"never mind!"

"Everything in Tianjing City is quite expensive. If you can save money, save it. Next time you have time, I'll invite you two seniors to have tea."

Li Wendao picked up the two copper coins in the tea bowl again and said with a chuckle.

Different road non-phase plan.

Since we can't chat together, why waste our money on inviting people to tea?

He rejected the invitation from Zhao Chujing and Wang Longhu with his actions and expressed his intention.

Li Wendao's words fell.

Zhao Chujing, a Taoist master from Zixiao Palace, couldn't help but snorted and walked away.

Even the deputy city lord Wang Longhu from Emperor Wu City shook his head and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wendao was the only one left sitting at the table in the tea room with a calm expression.

He pinched the two copper coins in his hand and said softly.

"All peoples are like water, and aristocratic families and sects are like boats. But everyone knows that water can carry a boat but also capsize it."

…………

The next day.

The tenth day of October.

On duty at six o'clock, it is most appropriate to be in the dragon phase.

On this day, the wind was gentle and sunny, and the sky was clear.

Yang An's crown prince canonization ceremony was held in Qianming Hall.

He first offered sacrifices to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites and Da Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion.

When the auspicious time comes, they will be guided by many officials from the Zongren Mansion and Honglu Temple to cross the Jinshui Bridge and enter the palace.

This set of procedures is cumbersome and complicated, and it took about two hours to complete.

After Yang An entered the palace and came to Qianming Hall.

Then there are magnificent ritual music playing, and the magnificent sounds of nature shake people's hearts.

In this majestic ceremony and music, the eunuch delivering the decree beside Emperor Tailong stepped out of the royal road with a solemn face, looked at the civil and military officials outside the Qianming Palace, and said loudly: "The Holy One has decreed that the Thirteenth Prince Yang An will enter the palace." temple."

The sound moved from near to far, high-pitched and loud, with ups and downs, and soon spread in all directions.

"My son, I obey!"

Yang An, wearing a crimson gauze and purple gold dragon robe, strolled into the Qianming Hall with the support of the Third Master, Third Fu and other East Palace officials.

At this time, in the Qianming Hall, Emperor Tailong, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the ninety-nine long white jade steps in the Qianming Hall. In the royal road below, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, ministers and nobles. , royal family princes, etc.

Wait until Yang An arrives at the center of the royal road.

The eunuch Shen Qianqiu, who was standing next to Emperor Tailong, suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that the crown prince canonization ceremony begins!"
