In the status of the Cui family, Cui Keli is the successor of the family. This is a major event in Qingzhou. To invite many people to watch the ceremony, it takes some time to prepare. Considering that the Penglai Xiandao conference is imminent, the final discussion is to wait until Penglai Xiandao. The conference will return and the ceremony will be held again.
A carriage drove out of the gate of Qingzhou city, and under the of several riding monks, drove along the official road to the east.
The carriage was quite wide, and in the carriage was Cui Keli.
The Confucian scholar couldn't rest for a while. He was reading in the carriage on the way. Although the carriage was shaking, Cui Keli was also a little bit cultivated, and was not affected by these. When he read the interest, He's also struggling to write.
Li Yan, Su Emei, and Wei Xiaozhuang, both rushed in front of the carriage.
When Wei Xiaozhuang talked about Li Tao with Li Yan, he was very interested: "Although we do n’t farm in Taoism, we still have some vegetable gardens. Speaking of it, it was picked up by my sister. I remember when I was a kid, I was about seven or eight years old. For the first time, we came down with the master and saw the villagers and farmland under the mountain. After that, every day at noon, the sister would be alone and mysteriously ran to the Taoist Temple, picking up in a flat wasteland, picking up stones She pulls out the weeds, and finally finds a place, so she transplants the wild vegetables in the mountains to the ground, and then she looks forward to watching there, thinking that she can also make a vegetable garden. I woke up at night to watch for a while, toss I ca n’t sleep with Master or me. "
"On the second day, I got up and saw, you guessed it, all died, haha. For this reason, the master and I joked about her for a while, and made the sister cry, sitting alone next to the vegetable garden, gave birth to a big I was sullen for a long time and ignored us. Master felt uncomfortable in the heart, so she went to the mountains to find some wild rapeseeds, gave it to her sister, and taught her how to reclaim wasteland. In fact, Master is also a little ignorant, he has never planted a field at all. As a result, the rapeseed was sprinkled and there was no movement at all. It was winter, and the field was frosted. Where can rapeseed come from? Haha, I still can't forget. My sister squatted beside the vegetable garden and looked at the vegetable garden. Waiting silently, just after a snowfall, there was nothing in the vegetable garden except a thick layer of snow. "
Wei Xiaozhuang saw that Li Yan was very interested and kept listening carefully, and even more vigorously: "Then Sister was angry again, but this time she was sulking by herself, locked herself in the room, and did not go out for a long time. By the next spring , Rapeseed has finally grown a few, really only a few, is it three or four? Old pitiful. This is not the funniest, Brother Li, do you know what the funniest thing is? Those rapeseeds are not rapeseed at all, and they are not wild vegetables at all. What do you guess? It's his mother's petunia! Haha, I laughed to death. "
"I laughed at Master for a long time. That was also the first time that Master blushed. He was ashamed of himself. She was unhappy and tears were swirling in her eyes. Haha, you can imagine that scene. The three of us, I am happy. ... "
Li Yan smiled and asked, "What then?"
"Then? Of course I was stabbed. The two of them stabbed me together, mixed doubles, and finally I cried alone. Both of them were happy and mad at me!"
Su Emei secretly gritted her teeth and glared at Wei Xiaozhuang, scaring Wei Xiaozhuang to shut up quickly. Li Xuan looked at her in embarrassment and became more interested, and asked Wei Xiaozhuang: "What happened then?"
Wei Xiaozhuang grinned: "Later, Master lost his face. After all, I gave wild grass seeds as wild rapeseed to my sister, which caused my sister to live in a winter and a spring. At that time, my sister was still so young. His omnipotent image was completely ruined. In order to maintain this image, he took us down the mountain and asked the villagers under the mountain for advice, which made him understand the knowledge. Master has a good reputation in the village and saved many patients. Later, when the villagers went from house to house, they gathered a bunch of rapeseeds for the sister. When the sister was carrying the rapeseed up the mountain, she didn't let us touch it, just like protecting the cub, but it was fierce, hum, sister. It ’s actually very young.

Touching Su Emei's murderous eyes, Wei Xiaozhuang disturbed his head embarrassingly, cleared his throat, and continued: "When the sister picked up the vegetable garden, Master and I wanted to help, and she was kicked out with her little hand. "She didn't trust us at all. She was holding a big alone, and that had reached her chin, and she struggled in the vegetable garden."
"Later, a nest of scallions finally came out. Those days, watching that scallion grow up, my sister is as happy as anything. I have to run over ten or twenty times a day. That foot is agile, just like a cat. A nest of scallions grew out, but the sister did not allow us to pull out to eat. No matter what I and my master persuaded, she blocked the vegetable garden and shook her head stubbornly, just like holding anything and the hen protecting the cubs. That ’s the dish, no What do you use for food?
"In the end, Master and I were okay, so I did n’t hope. I just looked at each other and sighed. I felt that my life was bitter. It was so difficult to give birth to a dish that could be eaten or not. There was no sense of heaven. Until one night, Sister came out When I steamed the cake, Master and I were surprised to find that there were countless green spots on the steamed cake, but the fragrance was so good. The original sister pulled out the onion and chopped it into the steamed cake. Hey, that Meal, Master and I enjoyed it. At that time, it was like eating roast chicken made by Brother Li, and it felt absolutely delicious on earth, but that's it, haha. "
Li Yan was amused and looked at Su E's eyebrows. The latter looked down shyly and didn't dare to see anyone. He said to Wei Xiaozhuang, "Why did your sister suddenly figure it out, wouldn't she not let her eat?"
Wei Xiaozhuang grinned, "Why did she figure it out, that is the onion is almost yellow, and she won't eat it anymore, she can't help it, so I just took it out!"
Su Emei's murderous eyes fell on Wei Xiaozhuang, and a pair of swords were stabbed to death: "Wei Xiaozhuang!"
"Okay, don't say anything!" Wei Xiaozhuang raised his hand to surrender, but his rolling face laughed so hard that he could not even see his eyes, and saw a wide open mouth.
Li Yan couldn't help but look at Su Emei more times, this Nizi still has such a cute side. Also, little girls are rarely cute, little boys can't compare. Little boys are naughty and tricky when they are young. As long as a little girl doesn't always cry, who wasn't stupid when she was a kid?
She was so beautiful and gorgeous. Su Emei, who was even ashamed when she saw peony, tended to be temperamental and restrained. When she noticed that Li Zhi had come over, she was caught as if she had done something wrong. She did not dare to look at Li Hey, but he could n’t keep his head down all the time, simply turned his head slightly, looked at the other side of the road, and showed the soft and beautiful side face, and the exquisite small ears, in front of Li Yan.
At this time, the sunset was just on the side of Su E's eyebrow, this delicate and quiet face, against the background of the red sunset, made Li Yan look a little lost. It was probably because of Li's gaze that Su Emei was a little embarrassed, her face was white and red, just like the mature white peach at this time. She subconsciously pursed her lower lip. This subtle movement made Li's heartbeat fast One shot, and quickly drew his eyes.
Wei Xiaozhuang took Li Yan's look in his eyes and whispered and smirked.
Seeing Xiao Li ’s look over, Wei Xiaozhuang continued to pour beans:
Master also raised two fishes in Taoist Temple, one in each tank, one in black and one in white, since I remembered with my sister, but for so many years In the past, I haven't seen those two little fish grow up, they are still so small. "
He compared his thumb and forefinger: "I told Master, this fish is not raised anyway, so why not just go to the pot? Master just gave me a meal at that time, and I was afraid that I might secretly take it while he was away. The two fish ate, and the meal was so severe that I had flowers on my butt. "
Li Yan smiled: "Then you really didn't eat?"
"How is that possible? Am I so timid?" Wei Xiaozhuang yelled loudly, and then deflated, "While one time the Master went down, I went fishing, but I didn't fish for a long time. When I got up, the fish was obviously in the water tank, but I could n’t touch it, and my fingers could pass directly through it, as if it did n’t exist. I also asked my sister to catch it with me. At first I refused. Later, when I heard that I couldn't touch anything, I didn't believe it, so I came over and tried to fish it, but didn't pick it up. "
Li Huan was interested: "What then?"
"Then Master came back and punished us for kneeling all night." Wei Xiaozhuang smiled, "Master later told us that he can't fight the idea of ​​those two fish anymore, and say how high my sister and me will be in the future. It depends on these two little fishes. They are bragging again, and my sister and I are not convinced, but they did not fish in the future. But they have not grown up. "
Li Yan listened interestingly, but began to think deeply.
What's the point of view, these two little fishes are similar to the green lotus in Niushou Mountain.
Before Li Yan wanted to understand, Cui Lili drove the curtain and greeted Li Yan into it.
Li Zheng entered the compartment and sat opposite to Cui Keli. He couldn't help thinking that before leaving Cui's house, Cui Shulin had a conversation with him. At that time, besides expressing gratitude and appreciation to Cui Shulin, he was not at all Stopping and slamming into his identity, fortunately, before Li Yan crossed, after all he had lived for so long, such a thing as lying was caught, and there was no revealing. Of course this is what he thinks.
Cui Keli called Li Xun to come in, and wanted to talk to him about Confucianism. At that time, Li Xun entered Cui Keli's house and saw the other man's manuscript, and he expressed admiration. At that time, Cui Keli was somewhat pleased. For the reader, he had friends From afar, it is worth talking about at any time.
"Since the Han Dynasty, the Confucianism of the country has gradually been accepted by the world, and it has grown and flourished. There have also been glorious times. However, compared with Daomen, the shortcomings of the Confucianism are too obvious in the course of cultivation. The world seeks strength Who is not eager for quick success? The Taoist practice system is complete and concise, not comparable to the other three. As soon as the Confucian scholars advance to the ranks and ranks, they will almost all transfer to Taoism, as evidenced by this. "
Li Xun said, shaking his head: "Confucianism must flourish, and there are many difficulties."
However, Cui Keli did not agree with Li Yi's opinion. He asked in return: "Confucian scholars pursue life-long pursuit of meritorious deeds, seeking to share the concerns of the king, and to resolve the upside-down of the people. In the world, people can live without food and clothing, and then learn about books and rituals, loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and Confucian scholars. What should they cultivate and what should they have such strong personal strength? "
"If there are thieves in the mountains and war at the border, can it be solved with the help of a few monks? If so, what does the country have to do with the army? If so, why are there so many monks today? Can't stop the fires at the border all year long? "
Li Yan smiled: "What does Mr. mean?"
Cui Lili said succinctly: "Four Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Soldiers are subject to temperance in the final analysis. In this world, there can be no Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but not a strong court. If the courts are strong, the kings will serve the world, and the six provinces will control the four parties In this way, whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and industry, they can perform their respective functions and contribute to the blessing of life, and contribute their own power. In a word, the court is the center, and the rule of the world is the purpose. Confucianism There are various factions of the Taoist soldiers, but they are just means. "
Li Xundao: "Confucianism respects the ancient and modern, although there is a saying about governing the country, but it is generally talked about. Confucian scholars cannot compare with other factions if they talk about moral articles, poetry, and poetry, but if they do it physically, they do practical things. ... Understanding Baiye, Confucianism is inferior to Baigong, marching and marching, Confucianism is not as good as soldiers ... "
"I have heard such a conversation. The king asked, why do you govern the country? Confucian answer, the righteousness etiquette. The king asked, why did you fight off the enemy enemy? Confucian answer, the righteousness etiquette. The king asked, natural disasters run rampant, and how can the world calm down? Confucianism Answer, Renyi etiquette ... "
"Can Confucianism govern the country with clear doctrines? The words of Confucianism are nothing more than rituals of righteousness. Regarding this as respect, they regard merchants as a hundred workers and traffickers as pawns, and regard them as low-quality people. It seems to Confucianism that the science of governing the mind such as benevolence and etiquette is superior and can solve all the crux of the world. "
"But the truth is, it can't. Confucian scholars are longer than empty talk, but shorter than current events, full of worries about the country and the people, and words of morality. In fact, more often, they can neither fight the enemy nor cure one's disease. . In a word, Confucianism governs science and heart, but it does not govern current affairs. It is not Confucianism that governs current affairs, but scholars who have integrated a hundred other scholars. "
Cui Keli opened her eyes wide, then gradually lost her thoughts. At the end, Li Wei said, and he sighed, "What a mistake!"
After saying this, he raised his head and sighed again, "The world mistakes me! The world mistakes sages!"
Sighing, Cui Keli looked at Li Yan and said earnestly: "The things that the son said are indeed not groundless, but they are not all predecessors. Since the Han Dynasty, the court used Confucianism to govern the country, in order to meet the needs of the king to govern the country. There are indeed many places in Confucianism that are beyond recognition. "
Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "But the words of Confucius and Mencius, the art of the gentleman's six arts, are always reasonable. The world has misunderstood my Confucianism, and most of them have spoken to Confucianism. Critical words of Confucianism! "
Cui Keli sighed, "It is true that Confucianism has never been perfect, and there are many places that are not thoughtful, but how many people in the world can be perfect? ​​I and other scholars can only seek perfection. In the early Qin and Han dynasties, there were hundreds of scholars and scholars. , Are absorbing the essence of each other's school, and constantly perfecting this theory, it is then possible to give birth to a true perfection theory. "
"However, since Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been esteemed, Confucianism has no rivals, and has more flattering monarchs, accommodating the needs of monarchs to govern the country, and adept at changing the words of the sages. This is the path of self-degeneration. Any doctrine must continue to absorb the essence of other families, and it cannot be improved to be truly useful to deal with new situations and problems, but Confucianism has not done it. Not only has it not been done, in order to meet the needs of the king, and to ensure that the king's absolute control over the country Dominion continues to degenerate and constantly modify the essence, so it is inevitable that the world will misunderstand my Confucianism. "
Li Xun asked, "Rather, Mr.?"
Cui Lili said positively: "If people have no enemies, they will slacken. If the country is closed, they will decline. Confucianism has no opponents. How can we not fall? The words of the sages are not perfect words. It is not necessary to be alone in dealing with the current affairs. But because of this, our scholars should continue to strengthen themselves and perfect their studies! If everything is done by the sages, if the sages are all right, what do we people in this world do? ? "
Li froze, but did not expect that Cui Keli would say something like this.
Cui Keli sat upright, his eyes frowning: "The reason that the world is in chaos is that people are not doing well. Since our generations of scholars take the life of the world as their own responsibility, when they know that they are superior to others, then they ask everyone, the words of the sages, It is necessary to improve and improve the principle of governing the country through the world, and also to continue to study it. In this way, we can contribute to the people of the king as soon as possible and contribute a truly complete and useful theory of governing the country. If one does not get rid of his illness one day, the scholar will not be qualified, claiming to be a scholar! "
Li Yan awe-inspiring, arching his hand, "Listening to Jun is better than reading a book for ten years."
