Han Dao world

Chapter 498
Xun Yun came to see his sister originally to announce good news, but was criticized by Xun Wenqian.He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a suitable reason. After all, Xun Wenqian was also doing it for his own good.

Among other things, if Xun Wenqian didn't show up, he would have no chance to worship Wang Yue as his teacher.

Wang Yue is not the ordinary Huben Lang back then, but the emperor's master of swordsmanship.

"I haven't seen you for two years, and your knowledge has greatly increased, which is gratifying."

Xun Wenqian also realized that her tone was too strong and did not take into account Xun Yun's brother's face.She rolled Xun Yun's eyes, and said again: "In the fluffy hemp, you can straighten without support. It's like coming to Liangzhou, and your heart is magnanimous. Follow the emperor, and your eyes will be wide open."

Then she sighed again. "I thought I knew a little about the emperor's temperament, but now it seems that it is still not enough. It really is looking forward, and suddenly behind. I thought that you would be idle for a while when you first arrived, but I didn't expect..."

Xun Yun looked at Xun Wenqian, and saw a trace of regret in her eyes.He suddenly thought of Wang Yi and Yuan Quan.If Xun Wenqian was not surnamed Xun, she might not be able to become Ma Yunlu, but she could become Wang Yi or Yuan Quan.

For the king's way in her father's heart, she had to become a woman in the womb of heaven. Even if she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she could not become a queen.Even if he was appointed by the emperor so quickly, it was because of her forbearance.

"Wen Qian, I have wronged you."

Xun Wenqian withdrew her mind and lowered her eyelids. "They're all descendants of the Xun family, each doing his best, there's no need to be wronged. You should work harder, don't waste your great talent in vain."

Xun Yun nodded, got up and said goodbye.

Xun Wenqian sat without moving, lost her mind for a while, then suddenly got up, asked the maid to dig out a box of wild ginseng from the back tent, put on a cloak, and came to Cai Yan's tent door.

Two Lang officials stood in front of the door, saw Xun Wenqian approaching, and went forward to salute.

"Is Ling Shi here?"

"Yes." Lang Guan quickly entered the account and reported.

In a blink of an eye, Cai Yan greeted him personally with surprised eyes. "My lord, you are..."

"I'll come and see you." Xun Wenqian followed Cai Yan into the tent, glanced at the piles of books everywhere, handed the wild ginseng to Cai Yan, and said with a smile: "Is Ling Shi still accepting disciples? I can't find it for a while. Dried meat, can't you use this box of wild ginseng to make a bunch of cultivation?"

Cai Yan looked at Xun Wenqian puzzled. "How does this work?"

"Why, are you worried that I'm too stupid to tarnish Ling Shi's reputation?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Cai Yan quickly explained. "If you want to find some books, you can just ask. Why do you have to be so solemn? I can't bear it."

Xun Wenqian took Cai Yan's hand, couldn't help laughing, and laughed. "It's just a joke, you don't have to worry about it. It's useless to stay with me. I heard that you have worked hard recently. You can make tea and drink to replenish your body."

"I don't dare to be rewarded for nothing." Cai Yan repeatedly declined.

"Dare to be, dare to be." Xun Wenqian blinked. "I have nothing to do, and I want to learn something, but I don't know what is the best way to learn. Ling Shi is well-informed, give me an idea, and give me some advice."

Cai Yan looked at Xun Wenqian carefully, and felt that she did not seem to be joking, so he was relieved.When it comes to learning, she has no taboos, but she doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the harem.

"Is the nobleman looking outward, or seeking inward?"

"What is external expansion, and what is internal seeking?"

"Extending meritorious deeds from the outside is a study of the world, such as governing the Tao, the art of war, or economics. Seeking self-cultivation from the inside is a study of the world, such as the Taoism in Laozi and the speculative study of Zhuangzi."

Cai Yan led Xun Wenqian and walked around the pile of books twice, explaining them one by one.

After collecting for a period of time, there are at least a thousand volumes of books in her tent, including the books in the palace and the studies of the Western Regions collected recently.

"So many?" Xun Wenqian was dazzled.

"Although there is a lot of knowledge, the way is one. It is nothing more than the inner sage and the outer king. It's just that people are different from noble to poor, wise and foolish. The one who can really reach that step happens once in a few hundred years. Most of them are self-cultivation and family harmony That's all."

Xun Wenqian tilted her head and thought for a while. "The inner sage and the outer king are not something I dare to think about, and the Qi family doesn't seem to need me to think about it. I'll just cultivate myself. Is there any way of self-cultivation, and it's best to be able to stay?" As he said, he couldn't help laughing.

Cai Yan also smiled, her brows lightly raised. "Then let's practice the art of breathing. It is said that it can keep in good health. You have practiced Wuqinxi, combined with breathing, and cultivated both internally and externally. It is not a problem to think about it. Oh, by the way, the Taoist of the Five Dou of Rice Road is coming. On the way, when they are outside, the nobleman can ask them about their Taoism. Mrs. Lu, Zhang Lu’s mother, is a skilled person.”

Xun Wenqian's heart skipped a beat.

She had also heard that Mrs. Lu, Zhang Lu's mother, was good at maintaining her health. Although she was over half a hundred years old, she was still pretty.For her, too much involvement in politics is harmful and useless. It is better to practice Taoism to show a pure heart and few desires, and to maintain health and tolerance.

"When will they arrive?"

Cai Yan pinched her fingers and calculated. "According to the itinerary, it will be in the next few days."

Ke Bi Neng held the tea bowl, thoughtful. "Master, the way taught by the sage is the ceremony established by the Duke of Zhou. Was there any system before the Duke of Zhou, and what was it like?"

Xun Yun said unhurriedly: "Duke Zhou used to be under the Xia system and the Yin system, but the classics were lost, and now there is no way to know. However, the Zhou rituals were not fabricated by Xiangbi, but came from the gains and losses of the Xia and Yin systems. That's why the sages said that Zhou Jian was in the second generation, and he was as melancholy as literary."

"What about the summer system and the Yin system?" Ke Bineng's eyes flickered. "Is it similar to our grassland?"

Xun Yun's face suddenly changed. "Although the Xia system and the Yin system are unknowable, they are within three generations. They are the systems of saints. How can they be the same as those on the grassland? Marshal, you should respect your studies and don't speak rashly. Otherwise, I dare not teach you again." Already." Saying that, he wanted to get up.

Ke Bi Neng quickly stretched out his hand to hold down Xun Yun, and smiled apologetically, "Calm down your anger, I am a barbarian. If you don't understand, just ask. There is no other meaning."

Xun Yun was a little unhappy. "Since the commander-in-chief knows that he is a barbarian, he should learn from it with an open mind. It is a good thing to have doubts, but one has to be in awe. A sage still has three fears, how can the commander-in-chief act recklessly?"

"What are the three fears of a sage?"

"Fear the fate, fear the adults, and fear the words of the saints." Xun Yun shook the book in his hand. "This is the word of the saint."

Kebi can blink his eyes. "However, I heard that your Han people's classics are divided into modern and ancient. They all say that they are the words of saints, but there is a big difference. Are the servants teaching modern or ancient?"

"Do you still know the modern text and the ancient text?"

Kebi can laugh. "To tell you the truth, my family has taken in some Han people, and it is said that some are true Confucian scholars."

"What did they tell you?"

"I was busy at the time, so I didn't have time to study. However, I asked them a question they were most concerned about. Unfortunately, the answer they gave me didn't satisfy me."

"what is the problem?"

"Is it better to abdicate or pass it on from father to son? Yao, Shun and Yu abdicated, but Yu passed it on to his son. Is he right?"

Xun Yun was speechless immediately.
