    How should people live?

    How should we die?

    Everyone has explored the mysteries of life to a greater or lesser extent.

    But every civilization, every class, and every individual has a different understanding of the mysteries of life.

    Some people are born as servants of God and want to return to heaven after death.

    Some people dream of immortality and immortality.

    Some people yearn for wealth and want 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 down from generation to generation, so this became "history" and "study".

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

    The essence of the so-called learning is the learning of sages.

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

    Regrettably, this has created countless rotten scholars.

    "Things should not be like this. The pedantic people have lost their knowledge, which makes the knowledge rotten."

    But within this knowledge, there is an ultimate password hidden. This password has been imprinted in the bones of every schoolchild since the self-taught students started babbling and reciting the "Three Character Classic" and "The Thousand Character Classic".  .

    Maybe many people

    I have forgotten how much people respected sages when I was a child.

    Or maybe they are obsessed with profit. In the process of chasing fame and wealth, they gradually forget the deeds of those heroes and Confucian scholars. But deep in their hearts, they started from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to Zhou Gong, to Confucius and Mencius, to Dou Yujun, to Ban Chao.  , Zhang Qian, to the ancestors Ti, Heng Wen, Xie An, and even the deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, can be awakened at any time.

    So, if we want to answer this question, for Confucian scholars, they are probably to be virtuous in life and to be called saints in death.

    The world, the great achievements, and the establishment of the big business as the sage.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    This is something that remains unchanged in our bones.

    It is the ultimate goal pursued by all scholars. If you can live out of this, happy!  If you can die because of this, you will have no regrets!

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

    The way of Confucius and Mencius is originally the way to transcendence and become a saint. However, some people have lost their ambition in the middle, have gradually returned to mediocrity, and have slowly become slaves of sensual dogs and horses.

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

    The journal in my hand is soaked with tears.

    The words in this journal seemed to be whipping his heart, calling in his ears again and again: "Do you still remember your pure self back then, the young man who swore to be a hero?  "

    He is no longer a boy.

    He has reached his thirties.

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

    Look at yourself now, burying your head in papers, copying and writing, feeling complacent about becoming an imperial scholar; rising through the ranks, thinking that you have surpassed all your peers and having a bright future; when you were in school, you were still studying  The skills of fencing and riding and shooting are now becoming unfamiliar due to busy official duties; what I think about every day is the exchange of human relationships and the intrigues in the officialdom; when I open my eyes, I am thinking of an unfinished article.  What a beautiful ending; when I close my eyes, I think about the problems at home that my wife is nagging in my ears.

    Butwhat was my original ambition?

    Today, where is the reborn resurrection, where is the year?

    Even though I closed my eyes tightly, I couldn't hold back the overwhelming tears.

    So Liu Jie clenched his fist and finally tore the journal into pieces.

    Liu Mansionhas arrived.

    The comfort of a new home can make even the most picky person unable to find a single thorn in it.

    Liu Jie entered the house and saw the lights on in the study. He knew that his father had also paid his dues.

    So, as usual, he rushed to the study room first.

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

    Liu Jie¡¯s eyes seemed a little swollen, but the tears had long disappeared. The sky outside was dim, and the candlelight in the study shone on his face, leaving a hazy look on his face.??The order has been sent to Guiyang.

    Pingxihou Fang Jinglong accepted the order, and all the officials in Pingxihou's palace were in an uproar.

    It is said that the decree to go to the sea and open up territory to the west has been conveyed to various guard posts.

    The soldiers in each guard station cheered endlessly.

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

    But the military households really have no way to survive.

    The deeds of those sailors and sailors who went to sea have already become legends one after another. They are sung among the military households. How many people long for it to be like them, to become successful and become the best among men.

    But for Pingxihou, this is nothing less than a disaster. Pingxihou¡¯s town in Guizhou is already extremely expensive. Why should he take such a risk and go thousands of miles away? If there is something bad on the way, he will lose his life instead.  It's better to live in Guiyang and enjoy endless wealth.

    Fang Jinglong thanked the favor, held the imperial edict in his hand, exhaled a breath, and said: "Please report back to Your Majesty. I have packed my bags and will be riding to Beijing in the near future and heading out to sea at any time."

    His eyes were bright and his words were categorical, leaving no room for bargaining.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
