  Chapter 2706 Heaven and humanity have taste

  High-risk things generally have high returns. If the risk is extremely high and there is no belief support, then for most people, it is impossible to have much willingness to do this high-risk thing.

  When Li Yuan was in a good family, he never thought that one day, he would risk his life to fight with the big soldiers. At one time, he thought that being reprimanded by his parents was a great grievance, and being harshly spoken or looked at twice was a great insult.

It wasn't until Li Yuan's family's Wubao Manor was destroyed in the war disaster, and the home he had hated so much was wiped out in the flames of war, that Li Yuan realized that the "big pain" he thought of before was actually nothing at all. What he thought was lowly, something that he wouldn't do even if he was beaten to death, didn't seem to be completely unacceptable anymore.

Li Yuan began to walk farther, climbed higher mountains, wore more worn clothes, ate rougher food, drank more sour syrup, and then he finally understood what his parents said before , and then he also had the worries of his parents back then, and he began to want to preserve his hard-won achievements, and to continue to pass on the family business he had fought so hard for. Before he knew it, Li Yuan became like his parents, and began to worry about gains and losses.

So when Du Ji said it was a "family of princes", Li Yuan couldn't help worrying in his heart. Of course, the small family that Li Yuan has established now, well, it's not even a family, it's just a family. In fact, it is not very related to "Family of Princes"...

  But it can’t be said that because the family is small, it can be squandered casually, regardless of the future life or death?

Hearing what Du Ji said, Li Yuan was taken aback at first, and then said: "Of course, my younger brother is not a child of any aristocratic family, but my parents...have lived in Chang'an for a long time, at most a farming and studying family. Officer, but it happened more than a hundred years ago...Little brother, I am so down and out, I really insulted my ancestors...But this...Little brother is naturally dull, please tell me more in detail...』

  Li Yuan seemed somewhat incoherent, just like his thoughts, chaotic and complicated.

  Du Ji sighed slightly, "My dear brother doesn't have to be like this...Your brother is now in the prime of his life, and he holds an important position... In any case, it can't be related to the word "down and out" right?" 』

  Li Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly, after a while he still asked Du Ji to clarify his doubts.

Du Ji pondered for a long time, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. After a while, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Fang said slowly, "Your brother followed the hussars through the north and the south. He has both civil and military skills. Now he is at the right and left... Look at it." Ordinary, but in fact the future is limitless...Warring States are not tolerated by princes, big men are not tolerated by aristocratic families, in fact...in fact, it is just a last resort, and then you can't ask for it. It is completely different from today's lord, the current situation in Guanzhong, it is not the same...』

  『Brother Bohou, this...』 Li Yuan was a little confused.

"In the old days when we were filial, constant and filial, the Son of Heaven did the same thing," Du Ji said slowly, "At that time, there were many aristocratic families in the imperial court, and the variety of disciples, old officials, and officials was more numerous than it is now. The Son of Heaven wanted to get rid of this disadvantage, so... 』

  『Party prison? ’ Li Yuan said, ‘Could it be that brother Bohou meant that the lord is also for the purpose of “party imprisonment”? 』

  『Some are similar, but there are also differences. "Du Ji said, "The emphasis of the party's prison is not the prison, but the fear of the aristocratic family and the cronies of the nobles. But what's the use of fear? The scourge of party imprisonment is becoming more and more serious, the more imprisoned, the more cronies... But now the lord is doing this, although there is a sense of party imprisonment, it is not fear, but far-sighted and far-sighted planning... Therefore, now Webster It looks dangerous, but in fact...if I also run to the rescue, I'm afraid Webster is really dangerous...』

  Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words.

  『Does my brother think that someone is lying and prevaricating? ”Du Ji laughed and said, “If someone wants to shirk, there is no need to attach a contract today...isn’t it? 』

  Li Yuan was a little embarrassed, and hurried forward to apologize.

  Du Ji glanced at Li Yuan, smiled, took some dishes and chewed them in his mouth.

   Li Yuan also picked up a chopstick, but obviously he didn't know how to eat. Although Li Yuan said on the surface that he didn't want to participate in Wei's affairs, in fact, Li Yuan may have been influenced by Wei Duan, or Li Yuan himself had a potential suspicion of Huqi because of this matter. .

Even though Li Yuan emphasized before that he did not listen to Wei Duan's words, there are still some old grievances between him and Wei Duan, and he himself just wants to ask for stability, etc., but in fact, many times, these reasons that sound quite plausible, Or the rhetoric doesn't really mean anything.

Most of the time, people will habitually hide their thoughts, because people who don’t know how to hide their thoughts basically die quickly. After all, it’s too easy to guess. The expressions are written on the face, and anyone can see it at a glance Come out, how can such a person live for a long time?

  Li Yuan didn't mean to deceive Du Ji, but got used to it, and did it unconsciously. After all, if Li Yuan was really indifferent to this matter and didn't have any ideas, then why did he invite Du Ji?

  It is a human instinct to feel sad when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.

If he saw that the gentry in Shandong were ransacked and wiped out, Li Yuan would not have any big reaction at all, and would even laugh out gloatingly. A kind of friendship, a kind of friendship that started from the father's generation.

  『I’m walking on thorns and thorns, like walking on thin ice...』 Li Yuan bowed his head and said to Du Ji, 『The current situation is chaotic, what should I do? Where should this move be placed? 』

Li Yuan asked directly, and Du Ji also said directly: "If the lord is an ordinary person, then we and the Guanzhong gentry will be able to unite together, just like when we were in the eternal spirit. Profit... If the lord is a little bit superior, then you might as well do the opposite. After all, Webster's affairs can be big or small. If the superiors see that Webster is alone, you can't just delay the punishment... But now the lord... oh... 』

  Du Ji shook his head and said: "Now you and I are talking in secret here, it is true that no one in the wild has heard of it, but in fact it is difficult to cover up our whereabouts..."

  『Is there a news department? ! 』Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help turning his head to look around. Although it is true that the boat is in a remote place on the bank of the Weishui, and there is no one around except for the sound of water, Li Yuan still seems to feel that some eyes are focused on him, like a glow on his back.

  Du Ji nodded silently.

  You Wensi, although you Wensi said that you cannot be arrested, it seems that on the surface it is aimed at the spies in Shandong, but everyone knows Hushi's tactics, so there is one thing that is simple? Or is there only one effect?

  Therefore, in the legend, Youwensi is just like the clairvoyant in the fairy tales, who can't hide anything from Youwensi.

   "So..." Li Yuan reacted and didn't know what to say for a while, "I...this...Brother Bohou..."

  Li Yuan can't be said to be stupid, but he can't be said to be very smart either. He is just better than the average gentry children.

  『No matter what others are, just rely on your own heart,'' Du Ji said lightly, 'If you have a clear conscience for the country and the people, then what's the problem even if others know? This is not an excuse, but it is true... Before I came here, I told the county government office where I want to go, and where to find me if there is anything... If there is nothing you can't tell others, what's the matter? Fear it? 』

  Li Yuan was a bit embarrassed at the beginning, but he seemed to hear something later, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Bohou, in this way, it means..."Tao follows nature"? 』

   Du Ji smiled and said, "Exactly. Now Webster, it can be said that if you don't move, you can live, but if you move, you will die...It's a pity that Brother Xiufu is in the middle of the game, and it's hard to know...」

   In fact, it may not be that Wei Duan is unaware, but Wei Duan may also know it in his heart, but it involves his own bear child, and he cannot be as calm as other ordinary things.

  Other people's affairs are just stories, and it's on my own head...

  Du Ji said slowly: "If you don't move, the charges will stop there. At most, you will be dismissed from office." However, if you act rashly, you will be charged with serious crimes, and the disaster of "cliques" may not be far away by then. 』

  『I…』 Li Yuan said in a deep voice, 『Wechsler and I actually…』

   "Those who want to kill brother Xiufu... those who want to save..." Du Ji said slowly, "Actually, they have no selfish intentions? This "selfishness" is what the lord is concerned about... If it is for the public, the Duke of Zhou has high power, and he will have a good death, if it is for selfishness...』

"It's the same in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it's also the same in the time of Hengling." Du Ji raised his wine glass and gestured to Li Yuan, "The princes, the family, the public, the private... The most important thing is that the emperor of Zhou is weak, and the two emperors of Hengling are at a loss... But now, my lord...is different...」

  Different two characters, like a thousand jun.

  Li Yuan was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly heavily.

  The running water is gurgling, the wine is almost exhausted, and it is time to part.

Du Ji came out of the cabin, and Li Yuan also got off the boat. When the two of them stood on the shore and greeted the servants from a distance, Li Yuan whispered, "Brother Bohou, now...we should be considered as the on one side? 』

   Li Yuan bit the three words "that side" very hard, almost slamming every word.

Du Ji took a deep breath, then straightened his robes, and then stroked the skirt of the cloak lightly with two fingers. His movements were gentle and elegant, as if he hadn't been contaminated by trivial matters of the mundane world, "A certain Fengtianzi, Also serve the lord. The emperor is the fate of the great man, and the master is the ultimate of the situation, there is no difference. Thank you, my brother, for your hospitality. A certain one will go ahead, and my brother will stay behind. 』

  Du Ji took the horse led by the servant, then turned on his back, cupped his hands towards Li Yuan again, and then drifted away.

Li Yuan watched Du Ji go away with a somewhat complicated expression, and then saw the figures of Du Ji and the others disappearing in the distance, then turned and returned to the boat, but did not enter the cabin, but sat on the bow while leaning on the plank of the boat on the deck, thinking about something blankly.

  Li Yuan's servants went to the cabin to clean up the leftovers, and after they were done, they asked Li Yuan softly, "Master, shall we go back?" 』

   After a long time, Li Yuan nodded slowly, with a somewhat tired look in his eyes, "Go back, go home..."

  The servant responded, and then greeted the boatman, untied the anchor that fixed the boat, and then began to push the boat away from the shore.

  Du Ji's words are already very straightforward, but they are still somewhat cryptic.

  Li Yuan didn't mean to blame Du Ji, because this is a custom in itself.

In the officialdom, sometimes there will be all kinds of words, which seem to be surrounded by clouds and mist, or like gossip, but in many cases these words are used to select or screen personnel, understandable Of course, it is to know the meaning. If you can't understand it, then you will be classified as marginal by others.

  『If...Guanzhong...friends...' The sound of the water was surging, and Li Yuan at the bow of the boat said in a low voice, 'Then...Jing Xiang...does he have friends...」

  ...(⊙_⊙;)...

  Since human beings have tribes, they basically belong to group animals.

  So naturally there are different factions such as big and small circles, township parties, cronies, or fellow enthusiasts.

Everyone wants to make their own faction as large as possible, while others' faction is small, their own faction is dominant, and other people's factions become disadvantaged, but in fact, the smaller the circle, the more united it may be. It's all complicated.

  Five-party Catholicism is like this.

  At the beginning, when Fei Qian and Zuo Ci were discussing Taoism, Taoism still had the concept of "Utopia", or the "Western Paradise of Paradise" in Buddhism.

   During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was the year of Jiazi, and this became the theoretical basis for the three brothers of the Zhang family to change their lives.

Of course, there is another Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Although he is also surnamed Zhang, he did not shout to overthrow the emperor like the three brothers of the Zhang family. If you pay five buckets of rice to the "Yi She", you can become a protected person, and then Zhang Lu will distribute the food paid up to rangers and believers...

  So after thinking about it, I know what kind of attitude the rangers and believers who have received the money and food have towards those people who refuse to pay five buckets of rice to the "Yishe".

Historically, the radical Taoist teachings of the three Zhang brothers have been suppressed. Ordinary people who want to "change their lives" often end up with their own lives. However, Zhang Lu collects protection fees like this, er, collects "yishe" Five buckets of rice, on the contrary, survived in the end...

And there is another very interesting phenomenon, that is, China seems to be full of longing for the "West", such as Queen Mother of the West, Kunlun Mountains, Lao Tzu riding a bull to Yumen, Paradise of Paradise in Taixi, etc., but similarly, early Westerners also I am full of fantasies about China, the golden town, and the streets are full of saints...

   are actually a simple spiritual sustenance of ordinary people. No matter what is covered.

  As for the higher-level people, like Zuo Ci, the five-party Catholic religion is not purely spiritual sustenance.

  After Zuo Ci arrived in Chang'an, he didn't immediately go to the Wufang Dojo in Chang'an, but it doesn't mean that these people in the Wufang Dojo would not come to Zuo Ci.

   After all, they are all fellow Taoist teachers, aren’t they?

  When it falls down, the hozen always has to climb to another tree, even if the tree seems a bit old...

   But it is a tree anyway, otherwise the tiger will be bullied by dogs, let alone a hozen? If the hozen landed on the ground, wouldn't it be even more lifeless? Therefore, those Taoists who have not been implicated in the Qiao's case in Chang'an Wufang Taoist Temple, as long as they have some authority in hand and a title on their heads, they will rush out of the city Post house, please see Zuo Xianren.

   It's a pity that Zuo Ci was always locked away, either because he was not feeling well, or he simply went out early and wandered outside the city, leaving early and returning late to see no visitors.

   Zuo Ci didn't wear Taoist robes when he ran out, so he took a few small Taoist boys with him, and took an ordinary catwalk to the villages around Chang'an. On the one hand, it is to avoid people from Wufang Dojo. After all, Zuo Ci doesn't know what kind of relationship these people have with Qiao. Wouldn't it be troublesome if they get infected? On the other hand, Zuo Ci also wanted to know the situation of the spread of the five gods and Taoism around Chang'an, so that he could know it well.

  Walking down in a circle, Zuo Ci discovered that the influence of the five-party Catholicism is very subtle.

If we say that there are many believers, there are still many. Almost every village has a place of worship of the Wufang Catholicism, or a stone tablet, or a grotto, or simply erected a wooden pillar, and some simple The pebbles piled directly from the pebbles in the river beach...

Because the image of the Five Gods taught by the Five Gods is very unified, that is, five colors, the appearance of a child with white hair and five strands of long beard, and you can also directly use the direction or color as a symbol instead, and there is no need for more cumbersome , What a gorgeous decoration, very down-to-earth, so the people's acceptance is very high.

   But in another aspect, the teaching of the Five Gods is not well understood...

   It can even be said to be very poor.

   To put it simply, in Sanfu, Chang'an, there are a lot of general believers in the Five God sects, almost everyone, but there are very few true believers.

   These are two things. It can be said that it is Qiao Bing's meritorious service, and it can also be said that it is his crime.

"Master, this villager is really **** me off..." Xiaodao, who was next to Zuo Cipu's car, said childishly, "I just went to that village, and then I asked the villager who was worshiping the five gods, Ask him if he knows what "Tao can be Tao is very Tao", and then Master, do you know how he answered? 』

"he knows? ’Zuo Ci replied with a smile.

  『Yes, he said he knew! I was very happy at first, and then I continued to ask him what is "Dao Ke Dao is very Dao"?" Dao Tong puffed his cheeks, "What did that guy say in the end? Master, he said that it is good, that is, eating during the day, and very Tao, that is, **** at night! It really **** me off! 』

  Zuo Ci was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and then said: "Actually, what the villagers said...although it's a little vulgar, but there is some truth to it... Isn't this common way like the way of the stomach? 』

  『That’s not what it means at all! Daotong snorted and said, "Really! The next time I see him, I must make him understand exactly what it means to be "Dao Ke Dao is very Dao"! 』

  『Well, that’s fine...Okay, don’t worry about that, let’s go, let’s go back to Chang’an...」 Zuo Ci patted the handrail of the car, "We’ve been walking around for a few days, we should go back..."

   Daotong was distracted, so he happily moved forward, preparing to return to Chang'an.

  Zuo Ci looked up at the sky.

  He understood almost everything, and he was going to see the hussars next.

Road to Road, very Avenue.

   Eat during the day and **** at night.

  Eating is survival, **** is transformation.

  If you can eat and shit, you are still alive, if you can’t, you are dead.

  The way of heaven, the way of humanity.

  Eat, shit.

  Zuo Ci smiled, and suddenly felt that the chest and abdomen, which were originally a little uncomfortable, seemed to be connected. He did have some dissatisfaction and opinions at the beginning, but now, it seems that these dissatisfaction and opinions are not so important.

  Eat when it’s time to eat, and **** when it’s time to shit. You can’t hide, you can’t save.

   Anyway, it has some taste...
