Ye An's way of thinking is different from people of this era. The humility and comity of this era are too strong. It can be said that everything is carried out in accordance with the etiquette system of Confucianism. Whether it is moral standards or other credit systems, the requirements are very high.
This is slightly different from Ye An's progressive thoughts in later generations. The most important value system of later generations is to realize one's own value.
How to achieve it? If it’s your own thing, you have to work hard for it!
This is a very correct thing, but in the eyes of Song people, it does not conform to the gentleman's implicitness and humility. A gentleman should "cultivate his morality with tranquility and cultivate his virtue with frugality."
This is not the fault of the times, and there is no distinction between good and bad. It is just that different value systems have emerged in different times. There is no good or bad, only adaptation or not.
Ye An discovered some problems through testing with Xuan Chengzi. He originally planned to go to Qin Mumu to ask for clarification, but he decided not to after looking at the moon hanging high in the sky.
Although Qin Mumu couldn't give him an answer, she might give him a brand new analysis or inspiration.
Sitting in his own small courtyard in the Shangqing Palace, putting his feet in the steaming wooden basin, Ye An slowly raised his head and looked at the stars.
He never gets tired of watching the starry sky of this era. There are no tall buildings around or neon lights. The bright stars are even more magnificent, vast and deep under the dark night sky.
Beautiful things are always attractive, so people watching the stars appeared one after another around Ye An. Jingwu raised his nose and asked, "Junior brother, what's so good about these stars?"
"Because it's beautiful."
Tieniu rubbed his feet and chuckled: "No matter how beautiful you are, you can't see it every night. Naturally, it will become stale if you see it too much. What's there to see?"
The Wang Gang glared dissatisfied at these two people who were making a big mess: "Of course the stars you see are different from what you cows see! Dogs can't tell the difference between stars when they see them!"
Ye An seemed to have caught something in a flash of inspiration, and smiled slightly and said: "The starry sky in everyone's eyes is different. I saw two fish, an archer, a water bottle, and a crab. What did you see?"
"Yinhe, Cowherd and Weaver Girl!" This is the answer of Wang Gang who yearns for a beautiful love.
"Eat! Roast leg of lamb, grilled meat, meatloaf, fried fruits!" "There are also braised noodles, lamb soup, crispy belly!"
Ye An didn't know how Jingwu and Tieniu saw the braised noodles and mutton soup. They probably listed the breakfast and dinner for tomorrow.
This was the difference that Ye An was looking for. He found that he could not integrate into the Song Dynasty. The main reason was that the things in his head were incompatible with this era.
There are many things that have already been formed in his head, many habits that cannot be changed.
Even if you enter a strange environment in later generations, it will still take some time to adapt, let alone after traveling through a thousand years?
Many things have become a brand, deeply engraved in his and Qin Mumu's bones, but it is impossible to change them. They have their own pride.
So this is why he and Qin Mumu directly explained to Liu E that they were of extraordinary origin, right? They were unwilling to be inferior to others and unwilling to be ordinary and low-key.
If you think about this clearly, you will be able to apply one method to all methods!
This era is a conscious credit society. It is not a higher level but no choice. Because this era is backward, there is no other way for people to better protect their own interests except trust.
Therefore, most people treat others with sincerity and use the most honest thoughts in exchange for their treatment. In the ancient people's understanding, if everyone in the world treats others with sincerity, then there will be no such thing as breaking one's trust.
Although this is not the case in fact, in most cases this mutual trust system is still very effective.
As a result, Confucianism and etiquette became the moral standards that people followed, so Xuanchengzi, as Liu E's lobbyist, exchanged the future for his current achievements and felt that he could succeed.
Ye An never thought that what Xuan Chengzi said represented his own thoughts. He had suspected from the beginning that his identity was not simple. It was impossible for a Taoist priest to get involved in the political struggle of the court without sufficient strength.
.
He actually attacked Kou Zhun indirectly, and was Liu E's help in suppressing Kou Zhun!
Only by truly understanding the essence, what you see and hear can be the truth. Xuan Chengzi revealed his identity. He is the Xitou enshrinement officer in the palace. This official position is of low rank, but he is a close minister in the palace.
.
The reason why envoys are called envoys is not because they are envoys to foreign dynasties, but because they represent the emperor to a certain extent. The three groups of young envoys are close ministers of the Tian family, and they are all military attachés!
Their existence category is similar to that of the Imperial City Division, but their identities are more special.
Even someone like Ye An, who knows a lot about history, has only seen a few glimpses of it through materials and written texts.
But what is certain is that the connection between Xuan Chengzi and Liu E is greater than what he imagined and what he said on the surface. Otherwise, he would not have received the news as soon as he left the palace.
Liu E wanted to exchange her current title for her future, and for the future after Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne in a few years.
But Ye An didn't think so. He was not a person who longed for power, and he didn't want to be trapped in the politics of the court. The politics of Renzong Dynasty was just a thief.
I'm afraid my weight and weight may not be enough in front of those big bosses in the future.
Not to mention the future, even the "big men" in the court now are not simple people. Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Feng Zheng, Qian Weiyan, which one of these people will not leave a name for future generations?
The reforms carried out after Renzong took the throne, the prime minister who "worried about the world's worries first", and Bao Heitan, who was not really obsessed with solving cases, said that they had no political means, even if they killed Ye An, they wouldn't believe it!
In his previous life, Ye An understood the nature of politics from history and real life. That was something that ordinary people could not touch, and it was something that he did not want to be contaminated by.
Therefore, between the future and the present, between power and title, Ye An decisively chose the latter.
After all, the thinking of the times was different, and if I wanted to be independent and stay out of the Song Dynasty, what was the best way?
What makes him different is keeping the pride in his bones.
Why must he integrate into the Song Dynasty? Why should he become a Song person? He is a special person, and it is because of this specialness that he became the emperor's husband and became the most different existence in the Song Dynasty.
Only by his status as a lonely minister can he and Qin Mumu live comfortably in this era.
After thinking about all this, Ye An no longer struggled and held his feet comfortably: "I am who I am! Different fireworks!"
Tieniu and Jingwu looked at Ye An blankly. They both felt that the Xiaolangjun they knew before was back, and the Wang Gang had followed Wang Hao for many years. He could see that the Ye An in front of him had changed in temperament.
Different, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.
"Stretch out your hand, touch my sister, touch my sister's head, oh, oh, oh, the scent of osmanthus on my head, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Seeing that Ye An was in a good mood, Tieniu followed up by "singing loudly" and broke the peaceful and quiet atmosphere of the Shangqing Palace with one mouthful. A loud shout came from a distance: "The thief is howling in mourning!"
Xuan Chengzi's "full of energy" voice made Tieniu shut up immediately...
