Kyoto.

Perhaps because of the current tense situation in Kyoto, or perhaps the students are not interested in studying in the college anymore, so yesterday, the old master of Tai Academy simply asked the students to take a vacation.

Tai Academy suddenly became quiet.

Especially in this endless autumn rain, the huge Tai Academy is even rare.

But the flowers are still there.

At this moment, he was holding a pot of tea and talking:

"The so-called knowledge is first of all, learn. If you have any questions, ask again!"

"This is to seek knowledge, solve, and understand."

In the backyard of Tai Academy, under the pavilion of the small pond in the small courtyard filled with flowers.

Su Muxin sat opposite the flower garden with a regular look, listening carefully to what the teacher said.

"If you learn what you have learned, learn, ask, and understand the root of things, you need to apply them in practice."

"This is back to the question you mentioned just now. Kyoto is about to be stormy. Why do the people in Kyoto seem to be insensitive? It seems that they have not reacted much to this."

"Even the people seem to have some expectations."

"Li Chenan once said something, and I think it makes sense for my teacher!"

Su Muxin leaned over, "What did he say?"

"He said that water can carry a boat and can also overturn it!"

"The boat is this court, the country, and the imperial power."

"Water is the people, the people of the world!"

"Water and boats are complementary. Only when there is water can the boat move. Only when there is boats can the water show its function."

"In this sentence, the weight of water is higher than that of a boat, and the boat depends more on water, and water... in fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a boat or not."

Hua Manting took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, took a pair of tongs and fiddled with the basin of charcoal fire beside the table, and said:

"When the boat thought it was not necessary, when the water was churning when the wind blew... I have been to the beach and seen the waves."

"When waves are really rising, even the most experienced fishermen must go back to the port to avoid them, otherwise they will be overturned by the huge waves, and if they are not good, they will be buried at the bottom of the sea."

"Since people are like water, when people don't see the future, when they work hard but find it difficult to solve their food and clothing, when they are treated with many unfair treatment and have nowhere to declare, when they are oppressed by harsh policies and see that they cannot survive..."

"As long as there is a wind at this time, it will inevitably cause huge waves!"

"Because in the hearts of the people, this country can no longer shelter them, the officials of this country only know how to exploit them, and the emperor of this country... will no longer care about their life or death. It's better not to have such a country!"

“The wind is rising now.”

"The people of Kyoto are only numb."

"When the wind is stronger and blows outside the Kyoto wall, you will!"

Su Muxin was stunned when she heard this.

He swallowed and asked in a low voice: "What else?"

"The people are roaming again!"

"They will open the city gate!"

"They will move out the ladder!"

"They will welcome the so-called rebels outside the city into the city!"

Su Mu was shocked, "This, isn't this a rebellion?"

"For the emperor and for vested interests like Ji Tai, they are treason."

"But for themselves... they are saving themselves!"

Su Muxin suddenly looked at Hua Manting, and hesitated for a moment and asked again: "So, the teacher asked the students to take a break..."

Hua Manting picked up the teacup again, "There are more people opening the city gate and the escalator, and the result will be faster."

"Teacher, this may kill many people. After all, there are many imperial guards in the city!"

"Since it's for their own future, there's always some price to pay."

"I heard that the second prince was dead when the battle between Shuangjiao Mountain. If... the disciples think that if the emperor asked the emperor to abdicate and hand over the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince, will this avoid this disaster?"

Hua Manting stroked her long beard and smiled slightly:

"Maybe."

"But the result is nothing more than changing from one vested interest to another vested interest."

"You have changed dynasties for thousands of years."

"At the beginning of every new dynasty, the people will almost be able to survive for a while, but they will never last long. Because those who have benefited from the dynasty changes will take power more tightly to protect what they have obtained

Benefits. Those who depend on them will become more, then bloated, and then good and bad."

"But they belong to the same interest group. They cannot slash at their own group twice, so they become more and more decay... until they finally die, and they repeat themselves in this way."

Su Muxin understood it, but still had questions:

“How to avoid this?”

Hua Manting pondered for a moment, "I have been thinking about it all the time, but I can't get an answer."

"Until when Li Chen'an heard the word "law", the teacher saw a little light, but he still couldn't catch it."

"When Li Chen'an returns to Beijing, he will have a good chat with him and hear what he has to do."

Hua Manting stood up as she brushed her sleeves.

"I have to go out for a trip."

“…Where is the teacher going?”

"Go to this decadent Kyoto!"

...

...

Li Chen'an was standing at the intersection of Huaishan County.

Two corpses were placed in front of him!

Yan Ji said Li Chenan's sad expression, and after thinking about it, he still handed over the small black jar in his armpit.

"What's this?"

"This is your master Wu Xichen!"

"Half was buried in the sword washing tower, and the other half said he would bring it back to you."

“…”

Li Chenan took the jar, uncovered the lid, and hurriedly covered it again, because it was raining, he was afraid that he would get wet his master's clothes.

"He left after all."

"That was the way he chose. I guess he wanted me to bury him on Taohua Mountain in Guangling City... and spend some time."

"What's going on with them?"

They refer to Changsun Jinghong and Shang Di on the ground.

Yan Jidao thought about it and told Li Chenan in detail the conversation between Changsun Jinghong and Shang Di, and finally said:

"I thought, they were both dead."

“Why?”

"Changsun Jinghong guarded the tree for twenty years, but he did not save the clouds and the fog."

"Shang Di probably followed Xi Wei for more than twenty years, but he wanted to see that ideal new world."

"Twenty years ago, I was in my twenties, but I heard the story of those four trees."

"Empress Lu planted four trees in Kyoto, and she hoped for four people!"

"The tree in the Imperial City Department represents Ningguo's sword of justice!"

"The tree in the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion represents the guardian god of Ningguo!"

"The tree in the Old Rain Tower represents the idea of ​​the blooming of flowers in Ningguo!"

"And the tree in the plum garden represents the love of the world... family, friendship, love and family and country!"

"After a blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and the four trees are already towering, but... they do not seem to grow into what Queen Lu expected."

"Imperial City becomes darker."

"Dingguo Marquis Mansion..." Yan Jidao looked at Zhonglipo, "Dingguo Marquis Mansion became self-protection."

"The thoughts of Ningguo do not seem to be blooming, because the people are working hard for their livelihoods, and the students are engaging in officials. Those who think may have starved to death."
