Three hundred and sixtieth chapters do not take the ruthless way
() "Heaven is ruthless, treating the world as puppies, and practicing cultivation is against heaven. Heaven does not respond, and wants to assimilate the cultivators. I don't want to be ruthless. Then a hundred years later, all my relatives will die, and I suddenly realize that the ruthless way is
It is the best path for practitioners. It is a pity that I have to follow the ruthless path again. I wish to live as long as heaven and earth." Duan Tong'an struggled to decipher this sentence, which was the inscription written on the first page.
"What does this mean?" Lin Yi asked dully. He hated such unclear language. He originally learned some when he was young, but later because he didn't like it, he basically forgot it all...
It seems that his memory is also selective!
"It means that God has no feelings, treats people and all things the same, and has no preference. Cultivation is against God's will. If God doesn't agree, it will assimilate these cultivators. The person who wrote this book is not willing to follow the path of ruthlessness.
But after a hundred years, all his relatives were dead, and he felt that the ruthless path was the best way for practitioners. He regretted the time that passed, so he started over again, hoping to live as long as heaven and earth. What this book records is
A fairy tale?" Duan Tongan despised this unlearned prince, but at the same time he was confused about the meaning of this sentence. He read it like the preface of a myth.
Ruthless way?!
Does it mean that feelings will gradually disappear? Could it be that the problems he encountered are inevitable on the road to spiritual practice? If he only reads this paragraph, Lin will also think that the author once had his own feelings, and he should have given up at that time.
He practiced cultivation and lived an ordinary life with his family, but because his life was too long, he sent away all his relatives before returning to the path of cultivation...
Lin Yi tried to compare his feelings with his own. He could even feel the sadness and pain of watching a loved one pass away. No wonder that man later felt that the ruthless way was the best. Sure enough, ruthless people would not be sad!
Duan Tong'an watched Lin Yi's expression change in a daze. In the end, he cried in pain, not understanding what was going on.
"Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi?" Bing'er was a little scared.
"It's okay." Lin Yi held Bing'er's hand tightly. He didn't dare to imagine the feeling of losing Bing'er, but he was luckier than those practitioners. He learned magic, so he could do it with most people around him.
Teach, including his future children, that he will not be as pitiful as the author of that book.
It seems that this Wuqingdao has just started on his journey at best. Otherwise, imagine the death of his loved ones. He cannot be so sad. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his feelings are still there.
But he had to think carefully about how to practice next.
"You continue to translate." Lin Yi said calmly. The book was quite thick. It took this person three days to decipher this passage. It seems that the entire book will take at least two or three years to complete.
"What is the ruthless way?" Duan Tongan was very curious.
"It's another way of life. People gradually become emotionless and their feelings will gradually fade away." Lin Yi explained briefly and slightly distortedly.
Duan Tongan shuddered. That was too scary. No wonder this person didn't want to take the ruthless path! But if all his relatives have passed away, then whether he takes the ruthless path or not is no longer so important.
After sighing for a while, Duan Tongan continued to work hard!
"Xiao Yi, aren't we going to the battlefield?" Bing'er felt a little cold after hearing what Lin Yi just said. But she believed that Lin Yi would not change.
"Why are you going? General Duan and the others will take care of it. We can just wait for the news." This is not because of emotions. It is because he believes in the combat effectiveness of General Datang. What's more, it is useless for him to go. He might not be good for himself.
He will also impulsively practice with enemies.
The war lasted until May, and ended with Tubo fleeing in embarrassment. Now Lu Dongzan finally knew how powerful the Tang troops were, especially under the command of the Tang Army God, and with the cooperation of several arms, they defeated all the Tubo warriors.
Somewhat confused.
Li Chengqian was also used to watching the battles of Datang soldiers in a superior manner. He no longer rushed to the battlefield. Instead, after watching for a long time, he had some insights. No wonder the generals were watching from behind. It turned out that
This way he could grasp the trends of the entire battlefield. He had never thought about it before, all he could think about was rushing to kill.
Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian and seemed to have matured a lot. He would also sit in when the generals discussed tactics. Sometimes Li Jing would ask Li Chengqian for his views, and Li Chengqian's views gradually changed from immature to mature. This is really quite good.
It's gratifying.
It seems that Lin Yi was right not to follow him. Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not want to think and study by himself at all now that he has someone to rely on.
The Tibetans seemed to have anticipated their defeat. Before the 20,000 Tubo soldiers they captured were sent back to the capital, they began to apply to discuss the redemption price with the emperor.
Songtsen Gampo also submitted a letter of apology and expressed his willingness to be the most friendly neighbor of the Tang Dynasty.
"What do you think Songtsen Gampo had in mind?" Li Shimin leaned on the sofa. He did not want to sit on a hard chair when discussing matters with ministers.
"I'm afraid of being beaten!" Cheng Yaojin blurted out.
No one paid attention to him. This guy always spoke faster than his brain. Let him discuss matters because he was very close to everyone, but it was better to express his opinions.
"I think Tubo should retreat strategically," Fang Xuanling said.
"Yes, their current strength is not as good as that of Datang. Of course they will make good friends with Datang and accumulate strength. When one day, they think they can win, they will definitely come back to bite Datang." Du Ruhui agreed.
Xuanling's opinion.
"I have some gossip." Changsun Wuji touched his chin, which had few beards.
"Tell me about it." Li Shimin was a little lazy.
"I heard that these countries around the Tang Dynasty are discussing privately and want to come together to the Tang Dynasty to open a royal academy so that these countries can send their royal children to study." This is what Changsun Wuji heard from a distant businessman.
Yes, he has been collecting information from the market, but he didn't expect to make such a big discovery.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed past.
"How can this be done? The knowledge of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be taught to them. I really want to blind their hearts!" Cheng Yaojin almost roared. In fact, he also wanted to do it. But the emperor was here, so he didn't dare
.
Everyone tried their best to ignore the noise in their ears.
"But if these countries are really listed together, it would be stingy if the Tang Dynasty did not agree." Wei Zheng said.
Fang Xuanling also nodded. The Tang Dynasty was a big country. A big country must have the demeanor of a big country. What's more, the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty has been imitated by several countries. If they really disagree, they will inevitably follow the truth.
At that time, it was recorded in the history of those countries. Didn’t it tarnish the image of the Tang Dynasty?
"Why are you so stingy? That's our thing. If we are willing to give it to them, then they can take it, but if we don't give it to them, they can't take it away either!" Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he really didn't understand what these civil servants were thinking.
What are they all about? Isn't it much better in the past few years? People don't care about face so much anymore. Even if they care about face, they will find a way to get the best of both worlds so that their own people don't suffer. But why is it resurgent now?
"Alas..." Everyone sighed helplessly, thinking in their hearts, should they not inform Cheng Yaojin of the next meeting?
"The Royal Academy can be built, but we need to think carefully about the curriculum and the freedom of those people. How can we limit it to a certain range?" Li Shimin smacked his lips. Everything else is easy to say, but he is afraid of those people.
I can learn things secretly.
"You can send people to follow them in the name of protection, but those countries will also want to come. Have they prepared a way to deal with it?" Fang Xuanling also pondered.
"It seems that we need to choose the location of this school carefully." Du Ruhui stroked his beard.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement. Yes, even if their activities cannot be restricted, the place can be chosen to be more remote. Firstly, it is easier to monitor. Secondly, if there are few people, they will not be able to find out much.
"I feel that it is better to choose the outer hall of the palace. This is in line with the status of the students. In addition, it seems that there is only a wall between them and the secrets of the Tang Dynasty. But even if they try their best, they can't get anything." Changsun Wuji
A calculating smile unfolded on that fat, white face.
"Haha, it's really amazing. The defense of the Three Gongs and the Six Ministries is the strictest. If the school is built in the outer hall of the palace, they will probably focus on it instead of going to the city to find news." Li Shimin was very happy.
, his men are all capable people, and they can even come up with such brilliant ideas.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes rolled. It seemed that he was still the most honest and honest person. At least he couldn't come up with such a stupid idea, but... as long as the knowledge of the Tang Dynasty was not passed on to others, we could discuss any method.
The troops were returning to the capital, holding 20,000 Tibetan prisoners in custody, but Li Shimin had not yet determined the price for the Tibetan people to be redeemed. He planned to let Li Chengqian do it. After all, ransoming the prisoners was also part of this war.
So Li Chengqian left the army and let Lin Yi drive the airship back to the capital first.
As soon as he got home, Lin Yi settled down with Duan Tongan and rushed into the research room. At this time, Sun Simiao was still working hard in the research room, and he was almost out of shape.
Lin also ordered someone to pull the master out and force him to rest, and then he took over and continued to study the pill.
There are more than a dozen ingredients written down on the paper next to it, but only five of them have been determined. Sun Simiao has determined the approximate weight, and the others are not sure. There are also a few question marks next to those ingredients. This is proof.
Sun Simiao felt that there were not only these ingredients in the pill, but also other ingredients, but he hadn't analyzed them yet.
Lin Yi originally planned to use his spiritual power with various instruments and potions to complete the analysis of the pills, but after trying it twice, he found that his spiritual power could not penetrate at all. Damn it, everything in that underwater space was
It was so special, so special that he was helpless.
In this way, Lin Yi has no advantage at all compared to Sun Simiao, and his foundation is still too weak.
Within a few days, he became similar to Sun Simiao, but he gained nothing at all, which made Lin Yi extremely depressed.
At this time, Li Chengqian was discussing the ransom with the Tubo envoys with his blood-red eyes very elegantly. From the initial bargaining in units of a hundred taels to the final bargaining in units of a few cents, this made the people next to him
Everyone was speechless. Two people of such high status were fighting over a few pennies like hawkers, but neither party felt there was anything wrong. On the contrary, they still felt some sympathy for each other. If the other person was not a Tibetan,
, Li Chengqian will definitely transfer this person to his side, because he simply has a bad temper.
Li Shimin did not condemn Hou Junji too much. After all, he understood the character of his old subordinate, and eagerness may be his only shortcoming in battle.
But his treatment misunderstood Hou Junji. He felt that he was still very important in the emperor's heart, so the emperor would be more tolerant to him.
Li Tai wanted to help Hou Junji and others again. Hou Junji, who was initially hesitant, decided to go after hearing how much money his daughter had shared this year. With that amount, he had to give face to Li Tai. After all,
It was for his own sake that people would count such a good thing to Helan Chushi. This was equivalent to Li Tai taking part of his income to give it to Helan Chushi. How could he not go?
Another banquet started. After hearing the news, Li Shimin remained silent for a long time. What else could he do? It was time to give the warning. But Li Tai didn't listen. When he reaches adulthood in two years, he will still be given an official position.
, although he was very reluctant to part with it, he really couldn't go on like this, otherwise... he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Li Tai was no longer under surveillance. He thought it was because his father's test and suspicion had passed. However, he didn't know that Li Shimin was a little too disappointed and had made up his mind. So there was no need to continue to monitor him, he just waited.
He is an adult.
Time passed quickly. In July, Li Shimin received a petition from neighboring countries asking him to open a royal academy. He said he admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius.
Li Shimin curled his lips, "Who are you kidding? He's obviously here for those top secrets. Do you think I'm a fool?"
He wrote back to each country and agreed to their request. He also specifically emphasized that in order to reflect the status of the princes of each country, he decided to build the academy in the outer hall of the palace. It was separated from the offices of the ministers by a wall.
This made those countries extremely happy. What a great opportunity. Even during a walk between classes, you might find out some information. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was simply too arrogant. It seemed that after many years of being aloof, he had become
Made him lose his mind.
Only Songtsan Gampo was a little depressed. Firstly, he didn't believe that Li Shimin could be so kind or such an idiot. Secondly, he didn't have a son yet! He couldn't send his younger brother away? What if the boy learned something or knew something?
Secret, what should I do if I come back to fight for power with myself?
The children of those nobles cannot go either. Their families are too powerful and they will be a threat to themselves if they go there. It seems that if you want to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, you still have to go through marriage. How can you marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty?
Songtsen Gampo had a headache, including Lu Dongtsen, who was also trying hard to find a solution, but Li Shimin didn't agree, and everything they said was useless!
The sky can be built, so Li Shimin made an agreement with various countries to start school on May 1 next year.
Lin was also pulled out of the research room. He struggled hard, but did not use magic.
"Who is it?" Lin Yi felt that he had grown a lot taller, so this person must not be Cheng Yaojin. That guy was not tall enough to hold his collar.
"I, the Emperor, have looked for you n times. What's wrong with you? Have you reached the research room yet? I was ordered to take you into the palace." Qin Qiong's voice sounded from behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was honest, there was nothing he could do about it being carried by Qin Qiong, but, "When did my godfather find me? Why didn't I know?"
"That's because your soul is not here. Eunuch Gao personally went to give you an order, but you turned around and went back to the research room. This time you are more capable and use magic better. Even Bing'er can't use it.
Did you do it? Smell it, what does your body smell like?" Qin Qiong knocked Lin Yi on the head angrily. Today he was lucky enough to be able to sneak close to Lin Yi. When he came last time, Lin Yi didn't
I know what was done at the door, I can't even get in.
"Well... I need to take a shower and change clothes." Lin Yi grimaced. He didn't feel anything when he was concentrating, but now he also smelled that his own smell was too strong.
"No problem, go wash up in the palace." Qin Qiong was not going to let go. Otherwise, who knows if this kid would run back to the research room and lock himself up again.
"So overbearing." Lin Yi muttered quietly.
Lin Yi was first taken to the East Palace, washed up, and then taken to the Manna Palace.
But as soon as he entered the room, he didn't even say a courtesy and rushed to grab a plate of snacks. He was really starving to death. General Qin was really over the top and didn't even mention preparing some food for him.
Li Shimin was particularly speechless. He originally wanted to teach Lin Yi a lesson, but now he was left dumbfounded. In such a prosperous Tang Dynasty, the people would not be starved to the point like him, but he was a noble prince, but he grabbed
Is it ridiculous to eat dim sum without any image?
Eunuch Gao lowered his head to his chest, fearing that Li Shimin would find him snickering.
"Ahem...well..." Lin Yi ate too quickly and choked.
"Drink some tea." Li Shimin's expression was very exciting, but he still walked over and handed the tea to Lin Yi, lest the little genius of the Tang Dynasty would choke to death on the snack.
"Gugu... um, thank you." After Lin Yi sent the snacks down, he continued to pounce on another plate of fruit.
"Oh... Gao Yuan, let the imperial kitchen bring you some food." Li Shimin waved his big hand and took Lin Yi into his arms to prevent him from eating anymore.
"Godfather?" Lin Yi was a little reluctant.
"Do you know what month today is?" Li Shimin asked funnyly.
"Well, this..." Lin Yi turned around and looked outside the door. The sun was shining brightly, and there were three cool jade in the room. It must be summer.
"About July?" This was his guess.
"Huh! It's the end of August." Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him. If he didn't have something to discuss with this guy, he really didn't want to see him. Why does Lin Yi seem to be getting stupider as he gets older? (To be continued.)
