When I started elementary school at the age of five, I first heard about the Master of Heaven and Earth. I asked the Master, "Master of Heaven and Earth." I worshiped him smoothly. But who is the Master and why should I kneel down to you?!
The Master scolded him angrily, kneeling down as punishment, and said: Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven, is sitting on the four seas, and all the people in the countryside are supreme and noble, and you are a real dragon. How can you not respect me?
Once you hear this, your life will change. Now you are at the end of your road. It seems that the cause of everything has been laid in the beginning.
What a person who has the world, what a person who is supreme and noble, but my path was wrong from the beginning.
The emperor is just a mortal, he... is afraid of me.
The second page:
The land of Jiuzhou, the Dayu Dynasty, and the land of Jiuzhou, the Lu family occupies a corner of Qingzhou. Looking at the world, it is no more than a small clan, but in that corner of the country, there is a saying that half of the city is there. Someone in the family was an official in the past, although the official position was not high.
But in that corner of the land, the roots are intricately intertwined.
This is actually the end of the dynasty, and the Gonggun princes in the dynasty will not know it, but this does not prevent their families from annexing land and increasing their family property. The general trend is irreversible.
Who among those who can pass the exam is not a well-educated person? How could he not know why all the previous dynasties perished?
But the so-called general trend is that everyone knows what will happen next, but no one resists. Because they know that those who resist will definitely die without a burial place, or even have their families exterminated, skinned and used as grass, so they all pretend to be innocent.
I, Lu Qing, am the eldest son of the Lu family, and I was born to inherit the Lu family's business.
And I lived up to expectations. I started my education at the age of five, passed the Children's Examination at the age of fourteen, ranked first, and became a child student.
At the age of twenty-four, he reached the third place in the ranking list and became the leader of the Three Yuan Dynasty. He wore a red robe and hung red flowers, and rode around the city. He was full of youthful spirit, so happy!
In those days, it can be said that there were many scholars talking and laughing, but no idle people coming and going.
Page 4:
According to the process, the number one scholar will go to the Hanlin Academy to accumulate connections, and then be sent to the local government to accumulate merits. After a few years, he will be transferred back, and from then on he will rise to prominence, and even become a prime minister.
And I am not only a rare third-level student in a hundred years, but I also worship the Great Yuya Sage as my teacher. Although my foundation is still shallow, the teacher himself is the biggest sign. As long as I stand upright, no one can touch me.
Everyone can see my future and know that a new star is rising in Dayu politics.
At first, I thought so too.
Until we reach the place below, it is a place called Pegasus County.
Page 5:
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was rich in war horses and was a famous and wealthy place.
I have been traveling all the way, and it is indeed the case. The houses are tall and magnificent, and they seem to be no different from my hometown.
It wasn't until I became the county magistrate that I was shocked to realize that the so-called prosperity was just that of wealthy families. It seemed like a prosperous age in front of us, but in fact, almost all the people had lost their land, and they seemed to be employed households, but in fact they were domestic slaves.
The city is full of color, but the fields are full of mourners!
And when I learned this, my first thought was not to bring order to the chaos, to turn the tide, to be the hero of ZTE, but to be afraid.
If this is the case in a wealthy county, what kind of hell are other places like on earth?!
Although the common people are all grass, when the fire breaks out, it doesn't matter whether you are a grass citizen or a nobleman.
Even if I am like this, I know the truth. Does the emperor, who has lived in the palace for a long time, know this?
That night, I couldn't sleep all night!
Page Six:
I thought that I had read enough poems and books and already understood the true meaning of the sage, so I could win three yuan in a row.
But in fact, I can go all the way to high school. It is just what I think and do. It is exactly what the Gonggun princes and even the emperor in the palace want.
What I think the world is like is what they want, so I became the number one scholar. As for what the world really is like, it doesn't matter.
Page Seven:
I started to deal with things, and at the same time I discovered that if I was biased toward the gentry, I would receive help from all directions, and I could achieve success even if I closed my eyes. If I wanted to do things for the people, it would be very difficult. Countless people would create resistance from all over the place and do bad things on purpose.
If you dare to implement a government decree, some people will dare to exaggerate it ten times. If you say there are multiple varieties of rice, some people will dare to shovel all the crops in a township and only plant rice, even if it is dry land.
I seem to understand the thoughts of the princes in the court. It's not that they can't see it, but they can only pretend to be ignorant.
Page 8:
After all, it’s just the youthful spirit that always wants to fight first when something happens.
It was not until three years later that Emperor Li Taifu was skinned and made into grass in the imperial court. The men were sent to the frontiers and the women were made into official prostitutes.
I finally got frustrated.
Taifu Li was a man of integrity, but he couldn't bear to see the court fall into hell, so he risked his life to remonstrate, tearing away the fig leaf of the court, which angered the princes and the emperor.
In such a prosperous time, there are people crying and mourning?!
If you don't kill this person, how can you suppress the atmosphere in the court?
Page nine:
A few years later, I returned to the court and rose through the ranks. It wasn't that I had lost my spirit, I still wanted to fight.
It’s just that I know very well that in a humble position, you can’t do anything, and you can’t change anything.
Only when you stand at the highest position in the court, below that one person and above tens of thousands of people, can you have the possibility of fighting in this world.
And if you want to do this, you can only be more cunning than the cunning officials and more evil than the villains!
Therefore, I gathered my followers and formed cliques. In addition, I had the foundation of winning three yuan in a row and the teacher of Ya Sheng, so my rise was unstoppable.
In the eyes of other people, in the eyes of the Gong Gongs, I have become the same color as them. Only I know that this is not that I have given up. I have never given up my original idea. The so-called dyeing is just the harmonious light.
Same dust.
What happened with Mr. Li made me understand that shouting without help is of no use.
And during this process, my mood seemed to be in line with the spirit of the sages, and I integrated many knowledges.
The way to govern is to be in harmony with the light and dust, and establish the general trend to be invincible.
The principles of the sages are, after all, only those of the sages. Even if I learn them, they are not mine. Only by using them as a foundation and brewing my own things can I become a saint.
My teacher said that I am the seed of the holy way and may be the next saint after Sun Sheng.
Because, I have cultivated the spirit of the holy way in my heart.
It was a kind of wonderful power, which seemed to be the Qi cultivated by masters in the military. It also came out of acupuncture points, but it was purer and more vast than nature.
The Wu family said that this is to enter the Tao through literature. It is difficult to have such a situation for thousands of years. Only by truly raising knowledge to the level of Tao and practicing it can we achieve this.
It is a thousand times more difficult than entering Taoism through martial arts.
However, for me, the effect of this Qi of the Holy Path is to make my body strong, my spirit strong, my thoughts as bright as crystal, my thoughts are not stagnant, and I can handle things more easily.
