The eldest princess finally said to Xun Yu, according to my wishes, you will not be allowed to have contact with King Chenliu again, but since your majesty has agreed, I believe your majesty will give you another chance. If King Chenliu is in such a situation again, even if His Majesty agrees, I will not agree. Don't forget that I'm still the chief minister. If His Majesty doesn't come back, I can still speak out about the affairs of the court.
Xun Yu was so grateful that he left the eldest princess's mansion and came to the chancellery.
When Jia Xu heard the news, he greeted him with a smile. He looked at Xun Yu and was overjoyed. "Did you get scolded by the eldest princess?"
Xun Yu nodded awkwardly. "Princess Meng didn't give up and gave me some advice."
"Hahaha" Jia Xu laughed. "Xun Wenruo, you are not as cheerful as Gongda, so your life is miserable."
Xun Yu smiled and did not answer, not intending to argue with Jia Xu on these personal issues.
"I already know your purpose of coming. Since your Majesty and the eldest princess have agreed, I have nothing to say. King Chenliu is a beautiful piece of jade, what is lacking is just carving. But he is only eleven years old and has plenty of time, so you don't need to Too worried." Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you want to do your job well, you must sharpen your weapon first. Wen Ruo, let me see your sharp weapon."
Xun Yu smiled. "Jia Lingjun, I dare to ask you a question."
Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu with some surprise, twirling his beard, thinking for a moment, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and laughed softly: "Wen Ruo is going to fight me."
"I don't dare, it's just a matter of learning from each other."
"Okay, it's rare that I meet an opponent, so I'll spar with you." Jia Xu waved his hand cheerfully. "You ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"If there is no Your Majesty, if you and I each assist a master, who will win?"
Jia Xu thought about it and said unhurriedly: "If it's about marching and setting up formations, I'm slightly better. If it's about running a country, you're better than me."
"If we were to be the emperor's master, who would be more qualified?"
"You are victorious in being right, and I am victorious in being strange."
"If I have Xi Zhicai, Xun Gongda, Guo Fengxiao and others to help me, do you have suitable helpers?"
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows. After a long silence, he shook his head. "I have no chance of winning."
"So, now you know why His Majesty did not entrust King Chenliu to you, but to me. He did not make you the chief assistant. But he made the eldest princess the chief assistant, right?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jia Xu¡¯s eyes. But only in an instant. He soon regained his composure. "That's right, governing the country requires justice, and magic can only be used occasionally. What I use is conspiracy. It is not a conspiracy, and it is not enough to be an emperor's teacher." He paused, then smiled: "Although you are not a magician, you have taught me how to play tricks." Talents like Zhicai, Guo Fengxiao, and Xun Gongda are good at using strange things, which shows that you are not incapable of being surprised, but you just disdain them. Your real ability lies in righteousness. Unfortunately, you have not taught anyone who is outstanding in the righteous way until now. Your Majesty entrusted King Chenliu to you, probably hoping that you would teach him the right way."
Xun Yu sighed: "Jia Lingjun, I originally thought so, but now I have other ideas. I am not surprised. It's not that I can't be surprised, but I disdain surprise. It's not that you are not good at rectification, it's not that you can't rectify, but that you don't have the opportunity to come into contact with these methods. , you can only take the wrong path. Skills are easy to learn, but the right path is difficult to follow. It is much more difficult to follow the right path than using skills. Without inheritance, you cannot complete it by yourself. What you lack is the stone chamber in Songgao Mountain. books, and family accumulation that has been passed down for thousands of years.¡±
Jia Xu¡¯s eyes flickered, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but his eyes were a little lonely. Xun Yu is right. In terms of intelligence and scheming, he can compete with any wise man in the world. But why couldn't he become the imperial master in Liu Bian's eyes? Because his knowledge is not comprehensive. He is better at trickery than governing the country. These knowledge cannot be imagined by one person in a day's work. He needs to inherit it and need the accumulation of many generations to find the most critical things among the complicated clues.
Knowledge lies in knowing the past and knowing the future. Knowing history is the first step, but he couldn't even take this first step.
The Xun family has a thousand-year heritage, and he can understand far more historical truths than he can. He has no inheritance, and most of the history he knows is superficial or even carefully modified. He doesn't even know the truth, so how can he expect to learn real knowledge from it.
This is where the poor scholars are inherently deficient. Whether he or Li Ru, their abilities can only be reflected in a certain aspect, focusing on conspiracy and people's speculation. They are not as comprehensive as the children of aristocratic families like Xun Yu. Knowledge needs to be accumulated, and wisdom also needs to be precipitated. They have neither such accumulation nor such precipitation. They can be smart for a while, but they cannot be smart forever. Facing the children of aristocratic families with deep accumulation, they are always at a disadvantage. Apart from anything else, if it hadn't been for the Battle of Longyuan, he would never have known such a magical thing as "Gu Shiqu" in his life.door.
"Does Jia Lingjun know why His Majesty didn't recognize me before?"
"Want to hear the details."
"Because at that time, I was impetuous and wanted to pursue the king's way. I thought I could strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away. I could turn the world around with just a few words, but I didn't know that I was standing on a tired egg, on the edge of a cliff. It seems like I can't move even if I look at the world. If I meet an ordinary person, I can still deal with one or two. If I meet a real strong person, I will be in a terrible state and completely defeated."
Jia Xu rolled his eyes and smiled knowingly. He nodded slightly: "I understand, now you are no longer tired of eggs, but a real mountain."
"I dare not say that a mountain is just a mound." He paused and then said: "Although the mound is humble, it is the real earth."
Jia Xu added: "And it's already beyond the ground. Mount Tai doesn't allow fine soil, so it can be as big as it is; rivers and seas don't allow small streams, so it can be as deep as possible."
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly in unison.
"Wen Ruo, you have been reborn and deserve the title of Wang Zuo."
"This is also a gift from Your Majesty. If it weren't for my trip to the Xuanming Sea, I would still be a frog in the well and don't know how big the East China Sea is."
Jia Xu stroked his palms and chin: "It's great to congratulate you."
Xun Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you very much."
¡¡
Xun Yu finally walked up to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu, and after a while, he sighed softly. "Sir, you have changed."
"Your Highness, I have wronged you." Xun Yu bowed deeply. "Your Majesty will give me another chance. I hope that your Highness and I will seize this opportunity together."
"Can I still catch it?" Liu Xie chuckled, a little lonely. "How to catch it?"
"If you want to correct your mistakes, you must first make them. Why don't Your Highness start from the mistakes you have made."
"What mistakes have I made?" Liu Xie frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. He felt that the Xun Yu in front of him was very strange. He was completely different from the previous Xun Yu who wanted to teach him to be a wise king. He is now like the emperor's messenger, rushing back all the way, not to help him, but to make him admit his mistake. If he admits his mistakes now, will he be recorded and made public in the future, and then he will be kicked out of the court as a matter of course, so that he will never be able to turn over?
Seeing Liu Xie's conflicted mood, Xun Yu did not force him, but brought up another topic: "Your Highness, do you know how many times His Majesty broke through the situation, under what circumstances, and what opportunities did he encounter?"
Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu warily and forced a smile: "Please give me some advice, sir."
Xun Yu was not polite, and told what he learned about Liu Bian's several breakthroughs, especially emphasizing Liu Bian's state of mind at the time. Finally, he pointed out that the reason why Liu Bian was so powerful was not because of how good he was. There is scheming. On the contrary, when he breaks through the realm, all thoughts are empty, his mind is free of distracting thoughts, and he always maintains an innocent heart. Because of this, he was able to glimpse the true path.
This is how Tao follows nature.
Then why can¡¯t others break through the situation quickly like Liu Bian? Not only because they don't have a dragon, but also because they think too much and can't let it go like Liu Bian did. If you can't let it go, how can all your thoughts be empty, and how can you always keep your innocent heart?
Liu Xie was doubtful.
"Your Majesty can give up the throne and the whole world. Your Highness, can you do it?"
Liu Xie¡¯s eyes twitched twice. This is what Xun Yu really wanted to say.
"The throne belongs to His Majesty, so he can give it up. The throne does not belong to His Highness, but His Highness cannot give up. Your Highness, isn't it clear enough about the gains and losses involved?"
Liu Xie twisted his eyebrows into the Chinese character Sichuan and pondered for a long time. "Sir, you mean that the reason why His Majesty is strong is because he can give up, and the reason why I have been unable to break through is because I can't give up?"
Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Your Highness has finally touched the true meaning of Taoism. I have not wasted my words in vain. Only when you are willing to give up can you gain something. Your Highness, what I taught you before is contrary to the true Tao. This is not His Highness¡¯s fault, it is my fault.¡±
Liu Xie¡¯s eyes narrowed. "In your opinion, sir, what should I do now?"
¡°Give up what needs to be given up and grasp the most fundamental point for His Highness.¡±
"That point, what is it?"
"Border."
"Then what's wrong with the world?"
"Your Highness's realm is not high enough, and this world does not belong to His Highness after all. His Highness's realm is good enough, but this world still belongs to His Highness after all. Your Highness, Your Majesty has no children. Besides leaving the world to His Highness, he has other better choices.? "
"However, even if I am willing to give up, my realm cannot surpass His Majesty." Liu Xie turned around and looked at the sparkling lake in the distance. "He has a dragon, Chixiao and Xuan Dao, but I couldn't even save the Gun Wu Dao."
"Your Majesty, you can't see Mount Tai even if you are blinded by a leaf. You only see Chixiao and Xuandao, and you only see Gunwu Wudao, but you forget that there is another important treasure. Compared with that important treasure, Chixiao, Xuandao, Gunwu Wudao, etc. The sword is not worth mentioning, not even the dragon and the phoenix are worth mentioning."
Liu Xie frowned in confusion: "What on earth is so precious and powerful?"
"The Jade Seal of the Kingdom." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
