Prime Minister

Chapter 129 New Roommate

The next day, Zhang Yue went to Taixue Journal with his luggage on his back.

Taixue has a full quota of 900 people, a total of [-] fasts, and each fast has five thresholds (rooms). To put it bluntly, there are six people in one fast.

Zhang Yue followed Ouyang Xiu's suggestion and entered the Jinshizhai.

After Zhang Yue arrived at the Jinshizhai, he wanted to find Cai Que, who had great powers first.

However, Zhang Yue hadn't found Cai Que yet, so he was disappointed to see Huang Haoyi.Seeing Zhang Yue's enthusiastic expression, Huang Haoyi said: "Sanlang, I happened to ask Senior Brother Cai to find us a vegetarian house."

Zhang Yue didn't want to stay in the same house with Huang Haoyi in the days after Taixue, but who knew Huang Haoyi's enthusiastic appearance, Zhang Yue had no choice but to follow him, thinking about finding an excuse to move out one day.

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi went to the Zhaishe with their big and small bags.

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi said: "How can there be a room for two people?"

Huang Haoyi smiled and said, "Actually, there are three people left."

"Why are there three people free?"

Huang Haoyi said: "There is a person in the fasting house, and all the roommates are at odds with him, so they moved out of the fasting house one after another, isn't it for the two of us to take advantage of it now?"

"Is this picking up the benefits?" Zhang Yue couldn't help being taken aback, what if he is someone who likes to smash walnuts with a hammer in the middle of the night.

Huang Haoyi smiled and said: "I think that person is good, but he is withdrawn and doesn't fit in with the group. There is no harm in that. Brother Cai's recommendation will never harm us."

Zhang Yue shook his head and said in his heart, if he is generally withdrawn, it's okay to say that his behavior is higher than others, and everyone must criticize him, that's for sure.

However, people who don't fit in generally have two reasons, one is that they are a little weird, and the other is that they are very awesome.

There are always people who drink together at night and play cards together, and he quietly reads and solves problems.After a few years, it will be discovered that this person is either skyrocketing, or... worse.

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi said: "Silang, how do you write the character group? There is a gentleman on the top and a sheep on the bottom. First, the gentleman, and then the sheep below. The sheep like to gather together. Therefore, the group is the gathering of like-minded gentlemen. You can't find the same Gentleman, so it is called out of gregarious."

"As for us fish and shrimp ordinary people, we can't be called a gentleman, we have to call it 'the crowd', so it is right to say that we don't follow the crowd."

Huang Haoyi laughed and said: "Sanlang, you are so unreasonable, you still learn how to speak from me."

"This is the so-called blackness of those who are close to the ink!" Zhang Yue said heartily, we call it fighting poison with poison.

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi made a cup of tea after entering through the gate. The Taixue's fasting house is indeed very spacious.And their studio is in the east of Taixue, which was originally the west verandah of Chaojiyuan. Except for part of it being converted into a law school, there are more than a hundred houses, all of which are used as the studios of Taixue students and lecturers. .

This chaojiyuan was originally where officials lived when they came to Beijing to report on their duties, and the accommodation conditions in the zhai house are naturally very good.

Walking along the way, I saw many ancient locust trees with jagged barks and towering branches and leaves planted in Taixue. These locust trees can be traced back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Yue looked around while walking, and suddenly raised his head to look east.

"Shiro, look at that tower!"

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi looked east together, and they could clearly see a hexagonal nine-story brick tower.

Zhang Yue said with emotion: "This is the rumored Kaibao Temple Pagoda (iron tower)!"

At this moment, an imperial student passed by and couldn't help laughing: "This is not the pagoda of Kaibao Temple, but the pagoda of Tianqing Temple, also known as Fan Pagoda. The spring scenery of Fan Pagoda is also a scene of Bianjing!"

The more Zhang listened, the more he knew.

But looking at this tall brick pagoda slowly, Zhang Yue felt a little dignified in his heart to be able to study under this pagoda.

When the two came to the Zhaishe, they heard a reading sound from afar: "Recovery is the name of returning to the original. The group of yin and yang are peeled off. As for the few, one yang comes and goes down, so it is called repeated. You get fellowship, so it’s called “Fuheng”. There’s no problem when you go in and out, and there’s no blame for friends coming…”

When Zhang Yue heard that the people inside were reciting the "Fu Gua" in the Book of Changes.

"This is it?"

"Of course."

"Wait a moment," Huang Haoyi stopped Zhang Yue and said, "This person likes to read hexagrams when reading Yi, let's go in later."

Zhang Yue listened and said: "There is still this habit, we can't get used to it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue pushed the door open and entered, but seeing a young man in his early twenties just shaking his divination, he didn't lift his head when he saw Zhang Yue entered.

Zhang Yue stood aside and watched, but nodded slightly after seeing this person divination, then raised his head to look at Zhang Yue, Huang Haoyi.

But Jian Zhang put his luggage on the ground and stood with his hands behind his back.

Huang Haoyi hurriedly said: "Sanlang, this brother Cheng followed Shao Yaofu (Shao Yong) to learn Yi, so he is good at hexagrams."

Then Huang Haoyi said to the man squatting on the ground: "Uncle Zheng, this is Brother Zhang, we will live together with you and me in the future."

Zhang Yue listened to Huang Haoyi's introduction of Xindao, learned Yi from Shao Yong, and his surname is Cheng, could it be...

Zhang Yue asked Huang Haoyi in a low voice, "Is this person called Cheng Yi?"

"Sanlang, have you heard of Uncle Zheng's name?"

Zhang Yue immediately changed his face when he heard the words: "Brother Zheng, it's only down below that I'm being rude."

Zhang Yue himself was a little pretentious and condescending for doing so, which really meant being slapped in the face.

But Zhang Yue has already confirmed that his roommate is indeed a great person, Cheng Yi, one of the second Cheng!

Cheng Yi was Shao Yong's student in history.You must know that Shao Yong is a master of Yixue today, and he is also the one who has not yet married at the age of 45 as mentioned before, and is also the person who introduced his sister to him by a student.

I don't know how many people in the world learn Yi from Shao Yong, but Shao Yong's most proud students are only two.He has a saying that Cheng Yi is the only one who is smartest in the world, followed by Zhang Dun.

However, Cheng Yi is not perfect in Shao Yong's heart.

When Shao Yong was dying, Cheng Yi went to see him and asked him what he wanted to say.

Shao Yong raised his hands to show it.

Cheng Yi asked, "What do you mean?"

Shao Yongdao: "The path in front of you must be wide, and if the path is narrow, you will have nowhere to go, and it will make it easier for people to walk."

Shao Yong means that your teaching path is too narrow, and you cannot comprehend things by force, so you must leave room for others.

Shao Yong's words also pointed out the problem of "Confucianism" left by Ercheng for thousands of years.

Then Cheng Yi stood up, looked Zhang Yue up and down and said: "It's okay, those who don't know don't blame it, it's just the first time you and I meet, so I can save it next time."

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he continued to study.

Zhang Yue immediately moved the luggage into the dormitory.

Zhang Yue saw that there were many places in the house that were not cleaned, so he picked up a broom to sweep the dust, but saw a few cobwebs in Sheding and immediately swept them away.

When Cheng Yi saw this, he hesitated to speak.

At this time a spider fell from the roof, Zhang Yue wanted to step on it, but Cheng Yi said: "Brother Zhang, be merciful!"

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard Cheng Yi shouting loudly, and hurriedly stepped back and said, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yi sighed and said: "Ants are still stealing their lives, how can brother Zhang do it at will? Starting with cherishing one thing, and then extending it to others, this is the compassionate heart that Mencius said!"

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded: "This..."

Zhang Yue recalled that Cheng Yi was a lecturer for Song Zhezong, at first Song Zhezong was very respectful to Cheng Yi, one day Song Zhezong broke a wicker, Cheng Yi stepped forward and scolded: "Fang Chun happened, don't break it for no reason."

Song Zhezong was unhappy with Cheng Yi's boss after hearing this.

Now even a spider can't be trampled to death, so... I finally know why the roommates in the dormitory can't get along with Cheng Yi, and leave one by one.

Forget it, it's useless to argue.

Zhang Yue shook his head and opened the closet, but saw several cockroaches running around.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help saying: "Spiders can't be stepped on, so can't cockroaches be hit? Does Brother Cheng think that my surname has the same pronunciation as cockroaches, so I should feel compassion?"

Cheng Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Saburo can fight if he wants to, but please let me go out first."

"Why?"

Cheng Yi said seriously: "A gentleman is like a beast. Seeing it alive, he can't bear to see it die; hearing its sound, he can't bear to eat its flesh. That's why Sanlang wants to kill this cockroach. I can't bear to see this cockroach alive!"

Zhang Yue was surprised again when he heard the words.

Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Sanlang blames me. A few days ago, a roommate of mine raised a cat and bought more than a hundred fish to feed the cat. I think these fish are really affectionate and righteous fish. I support it." Watch it all day long, and finally release it back to the river."

"Of course, the fish find their place; at the end of the day, I feel sorry for each other. I feel it in my heart. When the saints fished in the past, the nets were not enough to enter the pond, and the fish's tails were not enough to fill the foot without killing them. If you sell people, you can't eat them, and if a sage raises things without hurting your benevolence, that's the case!"

Zhang Yue felt that Cheng Yi's long-winded speech was going to make him dizzy. Was it just to save a few cockroaches?

In the future, spiders are not allowed to be stepped on, cockroaches are not allowed to be hit, and ants are also allowed to steal their lives. So what will the house be like?In the future, both myself and Huang Haoyi will become Younv Zhinao.

Zhang Yue decided to have a debate with Cheng Yi, and immediately said: "Brother Cheng's words are reasonable, but I don't know if it's your reasoning, Brother Cheng, or the sage's reasoning?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said: "It depends on Sanlang, what is the meaning of Li, and the geography is called mountains and rivers, the high and the low, each organized, prosperous in the ground, so it is called Li."

"Husband, the reason why the heavens are ordered is that the heavens rule things, and the people of the world are formed with the way of benevolence and righteousness. This is the principle of management."

"The principle of all things in the world is that prosperity will decline, and long-term loss will benefit. This is the principle of physics. In a word, all things have a reason. This is the principle of all things. This principle is simple and unchanged, and finally returns to one. Therefore, when it comes to the depths, That is to say, different paths lead to the same goal, the principles of sages and sages, or Cheng’s principles, are all the same.”

What Cheng Yi said may seem confusing to outsiders, but in fact, it is the universality of truth.

Zhang Yuedao: "What Brother Cheng said is very true. What Brother Cheng said is a bright moon in the sky, which is printed by ten thousand rivers on the earth. This is the principle of the moon printing ten thousand rivers."

Cheng Yi said happily: "Brother Zhang is really a good metaphor, that's exactly the reason."

Zhang Yue said: "This is the language of Fa Yanzong, but there is one thing that Zhang does not understand. The white horse and the black horse are both horses. This is called one, but black and white are different, so it is called different."

"Similarly, the principle is one, but the principle scattered in all things is different, then the principle is not one. Since it is divided into all things, how can it be called one!"

"That's why Brother Cheng said just now that you and the principles of sages and sages lead to the same goal in the end. I agree, but after all, sages are sages, and Brother Cheng is Brother Cheng, except for one thing."

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Cheng Yi knew that the other party should not be underestimated.
