Yang Biao asked Xun Yu to take a seat, stroked his beard, and pondered for a moment. When he raised his head again, his eyes were a little more solemn. {3w. "Wen Ruo, I want to ask you a few questions."
"Mr. Yang, please speak."
"In the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, there have been many emperors who have sought immortality and dreamed of immortality. Is there any emperor like today's emperor who is willing to abandon the throne for the sake of seeking immortality before he is even weak?"
Xun Yu¡¯s eyebrows trembled and he thought for a moment. "Mr. Yang, you may have misunderstood. His Majesty went to Xuanming Sea not only to ask for immortality. If he does not solve this problem, not only will he not be able to solve the problem of his heirs, but he may also endanger his life. He went to Xuanming Sea to ask questions. The sea is a last resort.¡±
"Then is he staying in Danhan Mountain now to solve this problem?"
"Of course." Xun Yu met Yang Biao's gaze and nodded. He answered in the affirmative, but felt a little uneasy. He had a feeling that he had not convinced Yang Biao, and he might not be able to convince Yang Biao.
Yang Biao smiled and waved his hand to signal Xun Yu not to get excited. "Okay, let's put this question aside for now and let's talk about the second one first. Among so many emperors who want to live forever, which one travels far alone and puts himself in danger?"
This time, Xun Yu had nothing to say and shook his head repeatedly. "Never."
Yang Biao went on to joke: "Third, which emperor established an auxiliary minister when he was still alive, and truly entrusted the power to the auxiliary minister, and then used hundreds of officials to contain the ministers, shifting the authority downwards, instead of controlling it with one hand and concentrating power on himself. In hand?"
Xun Yu¡¯s eyes flashed and he said nothing. He could say that Liu Bian established the auxiliary minister because he had no choice but to do so. But now that Liu Bian is back and still stranded in Danhanshan, it cannot be explained by necessity. What's more, the reason why he rushed back in such a hurry was because he knew that Liu Bian was willing to delegate power and take the initiative to give in in the battle between imperial power and ministerial power. On this point, Yang Biao's understanding is generally good, and it is reasonable to deduce that Liu Bian has a broader mind than Liu Xie.
Although he still doesn¡¯t know what the relationship between Liu Xie and the auxiliary ministers was like during the period of supervising the country, judging from the fact that he blamed Jia Xu, he obviously inherited many Legalist views on government - centralizing power above. The emperor holds the power. Beyond the law. The initiator was Xun Yu. Although he wanted to revive Confucianism through Liu Xie, the Legalist political philosophy was also deeply rooted in Xun's etiquette blood. It is not certain whether Liu Xie accepted his idea of ??rule of law, but he has accepted his idea of ??rule of law.
Liu Bian delegated power and Liu Xie took it back. Compare the two phases. Which one is more beneficial to Confucianism? It's clear at a glance.
Xun Yu suddenly had some doubts. He rushed back all the way to assist Liu Xie. Was he sacrificing his roots to seek the last? I hope Liu Bian will have no heirs. Isn¡¯t it a bit paranoid that Liu Xie can only be the heir?
Seeing the change in Xun Yu's expression, Yang Biao said earnestly: "Wen Ruo, His Majesty may have no choice but to go to the Xuanming Sea. But it doesn't mean that he has to go in person, let alone that he has to go alone. I am about to It is a common practice for emperors to use the strength of a country to seek the longevity of one person. How many emperors in the past have put such a responsibility on their own shoulders? How did Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Xiaowu do it?
Xun Yu was convinced and nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Yang is right, I was indeed wrong."
"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the struggle between the monarch's power and the prime minister's power has become more and more intense. Although the Confucian sages of the past dynasties have continued to fight, the monarch's power has been expanding and the prime minister's power has been shrinking. This is an undisputed fact. One person rules the world. , although it has not become a real fact, it is an imaginable result. Wen Ruo, isn't what we are striving for to curb this momentum? Now that the emperor is willing to take the initiative to make concessions, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Confucianism, why can't you see it? It¡¯s true that King Chenliu has Shandong blood, but he is willing to give in because he has Shandong blood? Emperor Xiaowu¡¯s phoenix blood is not bad, but it is his handiwork that seizes the power of the prime minister.¡±
Xun Yu felt sad.
"Wen Ruo, I know that the emperor's knowledge is rough and he may not know the essence of the emperor despising the people. But looking at what he does, which emperor can value people's livelihood as much as he does? He is good at fighting but not belligerent, but he is willing to expand to foreign lands. He can also care for all the people. Even your favorite King Chenliu can't do this. If the emperor has a son, wouldn't he be a hundred times better than King Chenliu? "
Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "So, the child next to the queen"
Yang Biao waved his hand. "I really hope that is His Majesty's heir, but it's a pity that he is not." Yang Biao shook his head regretfully. "That's Cao Cao's bloodline. His name is Cao Zhang, who was born to Bian in prison. The queen had no children, so Bian took Cao Zhang into the palace to accompany her, and she was very close to the queen."
"Oh, that's it." Xun Yu responded, feeling very strange. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or disappointed. "In that case, before His Majesty has an heir, King Chenliu is also the only choice. I hope Duke Yang can help me teach King Chenliu so that he can become a holy king like Your Majesty. "
Yang Biao¡¯s eyes flashed. "Wen Ruo, after chatting for a long time, you still haven't said the purpose of your coming back."
Xun Yu smiled. "Mr. Yang, I came to see you just because of the opportunity you mentioned." He started talking about the meeting with Liu Bian in Xuan Minghai and continued to the debate before they broke up. Finally, he said with excitement: "Yang Sir, tell me, is this a good opportunity?"
Yang Biao frowned slightly, but he was not as excited as Xun Yu imagined. He raised his head slightly, stared at the blue-black roof and pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "You mean that Confucianism needs to transform itself and subvert the relationship between justice and benefit?"
Xun Yu nodded, and the smile on his face faded a little. He knew that the real confrontation had begun. If we want to revive Confucianism, we must first transform Confucianism to make it meet Liu Bian's expectations. The biggest obstacle to transforming Confucianism is not others, but Confucianism itself. Although Yang Biao did not know many secrets within the Confucian sect, the Yang family was a family that could compete with the Yuan family and was also a true supporter of Confucianism. It would not be easy to persuade Yang Biao to change his ways. thing.
Yang Biao is an insurmountable mountain in front of him, but he must overcome it.
"Mr. Yang, righteousness and benefit should not be opposites"
¡¡
Hu Ming Mountain.
Xi Zhicai stood in front of the statue, astonished.
He had a vague feeling that he was not in Huming Mountain, but in Danhan Mountain, in the temple of Xianbei Royal Court.
Because although the statue in front of you is not as tall as the statue in the Xianbei Royal Court, nor does it have such a posture, its appearance is exactly the same. What's more important is that he has never seen such a lifelike and lifelike statue.
He is now certain that the woman worshiped by the Xianbei people as a god is the wife of Tianshi Dao, the master of the Lu family, the Yong family.
"When did she go to Danhan Mountain?"
Mrs. Lu shook her head blankly. "I don't know if my master has ever been to Danhan Mountain. However, she has an elusive nature, has traveled extensively, and has been to many places. It is not impossible for her to preach in Danhan Mountain."
"Oh, where has she been?"
Lu smiled bitterly: "I really can't tell about this. My master is rarely in Huming Mountain, and she rarely tells us disciples about her whereabouts. In fact, we can't tell whether she is still alive or not. "
"Didn't you say that she became an immortal?"
"Yes, but we did not find her remains. We can only guess that she has become an immortal." Lu thought for a while: "Based on her age, she should be more than 120 years old."
Xi Zhicai¡¯s eyes widened and he looked at Lu in disbelief.
"Are you surprised?" Mrs. Lu smiled slightly: "But if you see her, you won't believe it. The last time I saw her thirty years ago, she was almost the same as this statue. Thirty years have passed. When she shows up, I think she has become an immortal."
Xi Zhi didn¡¯t speak for a while. According to Mr. Lu, Mrs. Yong thirty years ago was also **10 years old, and her appearance was as young as that of a thirty-year-old woman. Just her ability to maintain her appearance was enough to prove her extraordinary level. Based on this calculation, Lu's husband and heir, Zhang Heng, should have been born when she was in her seventies. Giving birth to a child at the age of seventy is enough to shock the world.
It is not surprising that such a person has become the god of the Xianbei people.
However, if we can¡¯t find her, how can we continue to trace the origin of Confucianism?
While Xi Zhicai was distressed, Lu suddenly said: "By the way, the person who sculpted this statue for our master is a native of the Western Regions. He has a strange name from the Western Regions, called Ke Concubine."
Xi Zhicai was overjoyed and asked repeatedly: "Ke concubine? Where is he? What country is he from?"
"I don't know where he is." Lu shook her head. "We don't understand what he says, and we don't recognize the words he writes. We only know that he comes from the Western Regions, far, far away from the Han Dynasty. It is said that he is some kind of thunderwhat kind of silk?"
"Wait a minute." Xi Zhicai suddenly had an idea. He seemed to have heard a similar name. "Thrace?"
"Yes, yes." Lu suddenly realized and said repeatedly: "It's Thres."
Xi Zhicai touched the phoenix eggs in his sleeve and smiled. It seems that Liu Bian did not lie to him, and Cai Yong did not lie to him. The origin of Confucianism and the secret of the Phoenix bloodline are really related to Xiyi. To find the real secret, you must go to the Western Regions. Only by finding the secret of the phoenix bloodline and hatching the phoenix eggs can he compete with Liu Bian and become his lifelong enemy.
¡°I¡¯m going to Thrace. Traveling alone will inevitably lead to loneliness. Please accompany me."
Mrs. Lu was startled, her face darkened, and she took a step back. "Why?"
"Don't you want to improve your level?" Xi Zhicai put his hands behind his back and looked at Lu. "Although you are very good at keeping things, you are far behind your master. Otherwise, you would not have been humiliated by Liu Yan. It is really a shame for a cultivator to be bullied by a person as stupid as a pig." "Follow me, no one can bully you."
