Having said that one should govern by doing nothing, maintain health, retreat from the world, and deprive all things of the world, and be at ease, I probably forgot about the human heart. The human heart is a vague and illusory thing, and it is even more difficult to guess. Some people generously sang songs, brought a pot of warm wine, and sang Yi Yi
The water is not cold, and you may take a journey with no return, perhaps just to repay a cup of wine that scalded your mouth when we met by chance in the rain that day; some people seem to be a loving father and a filial son, but secretly they have mixed the wine with arsenic, and they just wish to die early.
, early in the morning, I saw the charming young lady throwing herself into his arms; some people were stealing together, sharing a piece of cake and drinking from a bowl of water, blocking the foot-washing water of those scornful turtles and old bustards and those snatching people in the streets and alleys.
The dirty knife that I used to eat, with the same scars on my face, but one day for a piece of silver, or maybe that handkerchief with the fragrance of flowers, the tip and the handle of the knife were also facing each other; some people endure everything,
I endured being bullied by the world, until one day I couldn't bear it any more, and when I got angry, even the world was afraid of me, but I realized it was too late. It turned out that the so-called world was just a bitch who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong.
The human heart is the most changeable. Taoism seeks to refine the mind. Some people can practice it, some people cannot practice it, some people practice it well, and some people would be better off not practicing it.
Confucianism rectifies the mind, Buddhism enlightens the mind, Taoism refines the mind, Confucianism governs the world, benevolence, etiquette and peace of mind, Buddhism governs the mind, all laws are empty, Taoism governs the body, inaction is natural. There are three religions and nine streams, and Li Luo has read many books by hundreds of schools of thought.
I have used it a lot. Everyone is talking about the truth. Naturally, no one can explain all the truth in the world with one family's words. Where there is a human heart, those who benefit me are always used, and those who destroy me are discarded. The appearance and the inside are the same.
It is not that there are no wise men and gentlemen, but in the end, only one name will be left of these people.
Five thousand years of studying history is nothing more than fame and wealth; ninety thousand miles of enlightenment, and finally ending up in poetry and wine. Some people say that talent divides heaven and earth and people are all the same, and those who teach Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism end up in the same way. It is easy to say but extremely difficult to do, Li
Luo thought about it and realized that he probably didn't have the ability yet.
This is such a disgusting world. Li Luo rubbed his eyebrows and smiled at the expressionless and worried Eunuch Mi Cangqiong and Chang. They were already in such a state, why are they still like this?
He looked so bitter and resentful that I felt depressed just looking at him.
The imperial city is in sight, the country is thousands of miles away with mountains and rivers, and the city has nine gates. If you don’t see the imperial capital, how can you know that the emperor is respected?
Li Luo whispered softly: "A collection of cultural relics, the imperial capital of Qianqiu." Mi Cangqiong glanced at Li Luo, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.
Zhuocheng is uniquely endowed with natural resources. To the east is Guanshan Mountain, which is surrounded by many steep and steep mountains, forming a natural barrier to the east. It has the majestic momentum of "heavy mountains overlooking the water, green peaks reaching into the distant sky".
Bordering the Kunjiang River to the north and the Qishui River to the east, there are no rolling mountains, but there are magnificent rivers. This Zhuocheng, guarding the largest ferry along the Kunjiang River and Suoshui, is like an ancient god, overlooking the world on both sides of the bank.
earth.
Zhuocheng is a stronghold, surrounded by water, named Agarwood. In fact, Agarwood is just a general name for the water entering the city. When it comes to the city, Agarwood is also divided into Jing, Wei, Gui, Ba, Li and Lao, which are like sparkling crystals.
The tassels float around like strings of beads. These rivers are like blood vessels, which not only provide Zhuocheng with abundant water sources, but also add vitality to Zhuocheng's comings and goings. Zhuocheng has been an imperial state since ancient times. Due to various strategies and
Economically favorable conditions have been favored by monarchs of all dynasties since ancient times. Da Gan is like this, and so is the residual merchant Zhongshan.
Li Xia, Emperor Taizu of the Gan Dynasty, cleaned up the chaos caused by the separatist regimes and established Zhuocheng as the capital, creating the largest and most prosperous city in Gyeonggi Province among the five prefectures of Gansu for a hundred years. Looking at the five prefectures, there are only Yangnan City and Shuzhou in Yuzhou.
The city of ten thousand buildings is comparable.
Thousands of houses are like a Go game, and twelve streets are like vegetable fields.
There are 15 north-south streets and 18 east-west streets in the entire Zhuocheng. The axis runs from north to south and east to west, criss-crossing the city into more than 100 squares. Among them, the streets that run through the north, south and east and west form the backbone of Zhuocheng.
The most spacious ones are not Zhuque Street and Qinglong Street, but Xuanwu Road, which is forty feet wide. Although the rest are not as wide as Xuanwu Road, there are many streets that are dozens of feet long, and their scale can be imagined.
The official road was very smooth, and the horses walked extremely smoothly. Li Luo squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly thought that if one day the city gate was replaced by the king's flag, who would walk on the bluestone road under his feet again, one after the other, not
I wonder if one day these two figures separated by different time and space will merge into one.
"Do you want to enter through the main entrance of the imperial city today?" Li Luo asked in surprise. The main entrance of the Dagan Palace is not always open. Unless it is not for congratulations from other countries or a ceremony to worship the heaven, the main entrance of the palace is usually closed.
, only the side doors on the left and right sides are opened for officials and courtiers to enter and exit.
Mi Cangqiong still didn't say anything, but Eunuch Chang glanced at Mi Cangqiong strangely, and whispered with a smile: "Here, the main gate of the imperial city was indeed opened when the villain came over. A few days ago, envoys from the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions entered the city. Please ask your Majesty.
It's time to set a date to meet, otherwise perhaps the House of Internal Affairs or the Taifu Bureau have some access to the palace. Let's find a way to enter the palace early to avoid delaying time, but Eunuch Mi should know it clearly."
Li Luo snorted, glanced at the expressionless Mi Cangqiong, and nodded, seemingly not paying attention.
A hundred feet away is the main entrance of the imperial palace. There are figures moving inside and outside the palace gate, coming and going in a hurry. Li Luo glanced at it and didn't care. The main entrance of the imperial city is no better than other places. Whether it is the ministers or the princes and grandsons, if they are
If you stay too long, you may be punished. The guilt is not big, but it is not small. The criticism from the government and the public is the most annoying. No one wants to cause such trouble.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere along the way was too old-fashioned, as the palace gate got closer and closer, Mi Cangqiong's expression softened a little, and he said calmly: "There are only a handful of times when the main gate of the imperial city is opened this year.
When waiting for foreign countries to come to pay their respects, or when worshiping heaven and ancestors, it is rarely opened at other times, but there are exceptions."
Eunuch Chang asked with a smile: "What exception?"
Mi Cangqiong had a straight face and replied lifelessly: "The teachings of the Holy Ancestor of Dagan are written in black and white. Eunuch Chang can go and take a look at his own leisure."
"It's time to go." Eunuch Chang nodded in agreement without changing his expression.
Li Luo looked at the palace gate with a normal expression, as if he was thinking about something. He never heard the words of Mi Cangqiong and Eunuch Chang. There were soldiers of the Forbidden Army leading the horse. It was not a matter of trust, but it was worry-free, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army had good footwork.
, in just half a moment, the oppressive feeling of the imperial city palace gate was as thick as a mountain, and already hit my face.
