Chapter 343: The Golden Mean is none of my business
Chapter 343: The doctrine of the mean has nothing to do with me
Liu Chengfeng left the palace with Liu Jian and others. Liu Jian took the lead in front, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were behind. When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, Liu Jian got into the sedan chair, obviously he didn't want to get involved with Liu Chengfeng. For this reason
Guy, Liu Jian thinks it’s better to be clean without seeing it.
Xie Qian glared at Liu Chengfeng, feeling angry, and then got into the sedan chair.
Li Dongyang was not in a hurry to get into the sedan chair and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Does the Marquis of Lianzhou have no carriages or horses?"
There were only three sedan chairs parked outside the Meridian Gate, and Liu Chengfeng hurried into the palace. The news had not spread yet. The family and the business were afraid that the news had not been received yet, so the carriage and horses naturally did not come.
If you walk home, you're afraid it won't be there in just one hour.
Liu Chengfeng spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Does Mr. Li want me to get a sedan chair?"
This guy is like this. When someone gave him a little color, he immediately opened a dyeing shop. Li Dongyang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't sit in the sedan chair. It's better to do this. You and I will walk around and wait until after passing this imperial road.
Go ahead and you will find the street market, and you can hire a car to go back there."
Liu Chengfeng knew that Li Dongyang had something to say to him, so he nodded and said, "It's good."
The two walked side by side, while Li Dongyang's family followed behind them in an empty sedan chair.
At this time, the sky was already a little dim, and the lights of thousands of families in the distance were faintly shining. Li Dongyang raised his eyes, and a trace of complexity flashed across his eyes, and suddenly said, "Your Highness's letter of war was instigated by the Marquis of Lianzhou?"
He suddenly said something like this, and Liu Chengfeng didn't even think about it, and immediately said, "Why did Mr. Li say this? How could Liu be so arrogant to the prince when he was in prison? Mr. Li was joking."
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be admitted. Even if everyone doubts, they must not let go. Liu Chengfeng is not a fool, and this is not fun.
Li Dongyang smiled and did not ask any more. Of course he knew that Liu Chengfeng would not admit it. He was not stupid, and he was not yet at the point of being open and honest with him. After thinking about it, he slowly said: "Dongdong."
Are you okay with you?”
Liu Chengfeng thought to himself that he was in the Shuntian Prefecture Prison and Li Dongdong was in the business bank. The two of them had not met for a long time. At this time, I asked Li Dongdong if he was good, but I was not asking about Li Dongdong's daily life. Liu Chengfeng said: "Mr. Li has great talent, Liu
Someone relies heavily on it.”
Li Dongdong nodded and said seriously: "The talented people in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, but no matter who they are, even if they have talented people who are in heaven and earth, they cannot go against the way of heaven. A gentleman will act with the flow at some point. Since there is already something in the world
, Of course, there is a reason for its existence. Breaking them rashly will only bring disaster to yourself... What does the Marquis of Lianzhou think I said?"
I was just asking Li Dongdong, but the conversation changed and became a lesson for Liu Chengfeng. What Li Dongyang said about exists is actually a creation of a situation. The creation of a situation has been colluding with so many people and has involved so many people, which has become a stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty.
, It also makes sense. Even if you, Liu Chengfeng, have the ability, will definitely be courageous to go against the trend, but in the end you will only bring disaster to yourself. Doing this will not benefit you, so don't behave for a while when dealing with others.
Brave.
This is what Li Dongdong wants to say to Liu Chengfeng.
"Let's go, you've been released from prison now, and this matter has come to an end. When you are in the Shuntian Mansion Prison, the civil and military officials involved may be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but now once you are released from prison, you have now another sealed.
The mighty general of the Central Army, the holy family is even more prosperous. Those intimidating officials are already frightened. If you don’t let go, you will be dead and dead. With your own strength, even if you have three heads and six arms, you may not be their opponent. Are you?
He just doesn’t care about his life at all? He doesn’t fear at all?" Li Dongdong said earnestly.
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time.
In fact, at this point, he was also afraid. At this point, he was so frightened every step, like walking on thin ice. If he was not good, he might capsize in the gutter.
But...just give up halfway?
What Li Dongyang said was not unreasonable. Even with his position as the center of the cabinet, he was still afraid of these people, let alone Liu Chengfeng, who was not as good as a marquis and only had a thousand households?
Liu Chengfeng looked faint and pondered, "It's time to come, I can only sail against the current and face the difficulties..." Liu Chengfeng raised his eyes and said, "Others say I'm a fool, so let them agree, maybe in
Mr. Li seemed to be the same as this, but Liu Chengfeng wanted to tell Mr. Li that Liu Chengfeng was neither stupid nor stupid, but just wanted to give justice to the world and give justice to the millions of soldiers in the border town.
The soldiers in front of them use this shoddy weapon to fight against the enemy. They may not die under the butcher knife of the enemy, but many people die at the hands of their own people, and these are their own people.
The capital is also in the border town. They sing and sing every night. Liu Cheng is not virtuous and incompetent, but he has to fight for it no matter what. Even if he is defeated, he can at least say to himself: I will die without regrets!"
Liu Chengfeng continued, "It's useless to say anything extra. No matter what others think, I don't care. Mr. Li said that Liu Chengfeng went against the sky, so I'll go against the sky. The way of heaven is normal, and I won't be for Yao.
If you survive, you will not perish for Jie. But the human heart is impermanent. Liu Chengfeng's heart is only for Yao, and he will perish with Jie."
Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment. Liu Chengfeng quoted Xunzi's theory of heaven, meaning that the way of heaven changes and people cannot accurately grasp it. Whether it is Yao and Shun in the world or Xia Jie's disaster in the world, the way of heaven only exists and will not interfere. Liu Cheng
Feng's words later told Li Dongyang that the way of heaven is normal, but people's hearts are different. People's hearts can tolerate Yao and Shun, but they cannot tolerate Xia Jie. At least Liu Chengfeng's heart is like this. You can say I am stupid, you can say I am not.
Overestimate one's ability, but this is Liu Chengfeng.
Li Dongyang couldn't help but smile and said, "Those who are hard can easily break. Only when the yin and soft can they be able to maintain their lives. No one in the world is as soft as water, but the best is like water. Being strong and soft is the doctrine of the mean, and the doctrine of the mean is the great way."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh. After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he was the kind of person who never wanted to play according to common sense. The person he talked to had a feeling of being led by him. He was just talking about his ways of dealing with people.
But now we talk about the doctrine of the mean, which belongs to the category of Neo-Confucianism.
Liu Chengfeng was silent. It was not that he didn't understand Li Dongyang's kindness, but that he couldn't accept it.
The two of them slowly walked out of the imperial road, and suddenly a group of carriages came in front of them. The driver who was driving the car couldn't help but say in surprise: "Son-in-law..."
I guess the news from the Wen family is quite well-versed. When he heard that Liu Chengfeng was released from prison and entered the palace, he quickly arranged a carriage and horse to greet him.
Liu Chengfeng nodded to the coachman, and then said to Li Dongyang: "Mr. Li is grateful for his teachings. I will visit my mansion in the future and listen to Mr. Li's teachings. I will leave today."
Li Dongyang smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Okay, you can take care of it, I want to go there again."
Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything else, got on the carriage, and the coachman urged the horse and went quickly.
Li Dongyang stood behind the carriage silently, and watched the figure of the carriage get farther and farther away. He couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "Idiot..."

"Ah, cut..."
Liu Chengfeng sat in the carriage and sneezed. He couldn't help but think, I don't know who gave birth to a son and scolded me without an asshole.
The carriage walked very fast. Because the sky was dim, the streets were sparsely populated. The coachman was in a hurry to send his son-in-law back, so he whipped the horse all the way. The carriage was naturally extremely bumpy. Liu Chengfeng was shaking and he was a little tired. He leaned against him.
The wall of the carriage was drowsy.
At some point, the coachman lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Son-in-law, he's here."
Liu Chengfeng rubbed his eyes and cheered up and got off the shaft of the carriage. There were already many people waiting at the door of the Wen family. Wen Zheng was supporting the old lady. Wen Chenxi and Wen Chenruo were overjoyed and stood tall in the back. Liu Cheng
The wind couldn't help but talk. He liked the excitement, but this excitement made him a little embarrassed. He was like a guy who had entered the palace for the second time. After he was released from prison and went home, even if his family was warm, his face would not look good.
"Ahem..." Liu Chengfeng got out of the car and started calling: "Hello, old lady, hello, Lord Taishan..."
The old lady leaned on a phoenix-headed stick and said with a smile: "It's fine when you come back, it's fine when you come back. Don't be so polite. Come in and talk. It's windy outside."
In this Wen family, no one questioned what the old lady said. Everyone surrounded the old lady in. Liu Chengfeng had not found the opportunity to talk to Wen Chenxi. At this time, he deliberately walked behind and gently
He held Wen Chenxi's hand. Wen Chenxi was afraid of embarrassment and his pretty face turned a little bit blushing, but his little hand did not break free. He just deliberately hid his hand in Liu Chengfeng's sleeve so as not to be seen.
Wen Chenruo was right next to him. Seeing this strange thing, he couldn't help but say, "My brother-in-law is holding my sister's hand."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless. What does the intimacy between husband and wife have to do with you little girl? He is really meddling in other people's business.
The blushing on Wen Chenxi's face was already at the center of his ears, and he was busy pulling his hands away from Liu Chengfeng's.
In this era, the relationship between men and women is still very careful. Even if a couple holds hands when they show up, it is embarrassing.
However, except for Wen Chenruo’s fuss, everyone would look ignored even if they saw it. After all, there are very few people like Wen Chenruo these days.
Everyone entered the hall and immediately welcomed Liu Chengfeng. After the dinner, Liu Chengfeng was about to return to the room with Wen Chenxi, but Wen Zheng stopped Liu Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, I have something to do.
Tell you, go to the study."
