son-in-law

Chapter 632

The couple sat on the couch and chatted about making friends.Tang Linger said that since she was a child, she heard her husband mention a sentence in "The Book of Rites of the Great Dai: Zizhang Asked to Become an Official" that "there will be no fish when the water is clear, and there will be no disciples when people are observant". This "disciple" is the word for friends and partners mean.

Because of this, Tang Linger wondered why she had no friends.She knew she was harsh and harsh.But she doesn't feel sad about it, because she thinks it's good to have no friends.In her eyes, finding a friend is as difficult as finding a "husband".Even after careful screening, the husband found in the end may not be a good man.

Tang Linger wanted to ask Su Yu what are the criteria for making friends?
Regarding this problem, Tang Ling'er wanted to solve it by herself, but these friends of Su Yu had no rules at all.Ouyang Jing has a bad moral character; Xu Luochen has a wretched personality; Kong Shuo is cunning and cunning;

Su Yudao: The friend Linger wants is actually a kind of feeling.This kind of friend can only be a friend if there is no conflict of interest. If there is a conflict of interest, it may turn out to be an enemy.But I'm different from you, I don't only consider benefits when making friends, otherwise how could I have poor friends like Xu Luochen?Ouyang Jing and Xu Luochen are very interesting and generous, which is the basis for becoming friends.It is very tiring for small people to make friends. For example, Zhang Mi and Hua Tingfeng made me feel very tired.I am always afraid of offending them.But they are very willing to make friends with me, and I feel that they are available, so I have been honest with each other.In addition, I also told Linger that I have third-class goals in life.The first category is to have long-term goals that are challenging and nurturing.It doesn't have to be successful, but you have to find happiness from it.And it is a long-term goal for me to make friends with them.Essentially I'm investing.

"Investment? How much did you invest?"

"No, it's not something physical." Su Yu smiled wryly, "Ling'er has heard of the term 'inner sage and outer king'?"

Tang Ling'er thought for a while: "Nan Hua Zhenren's "Zhuangzi Tianxia Chapter"."

Su Yu nodded, expressing his approval to the princess Bo Wen Qiang Ji: "I don't know how Linger understands 'inner sage and outer king'?"

Tang Ling'er smiled wryly: "Confucians also follow the way of 'inner sage and outer king'."

Tang Linger's answer was very succinct. What she meant was that words like "restraining oneself one day and returning to the rituals" were just childhood lessons for her. She didn't want to repeat them here. You'd better express your opinion as soon as possible.

Su Yu smiled: "Confucianism's 'inner sage and outer king' is an interpretation of Taoism's 'inner sage and outer king'. But this explanation is one-sided. It's like, what you hear is only what the ruler wants you to hear And Confucianism does just that. But in Taoism, "inner sage and outer king" means more than that. In Taoism, countless people can have countless interpretations. Any interpretation is one-sided, but They are all right. As long as you can finally break through the concept of the world and improve the dimension of the mind, people will become enlightened."

The princess squinted her eyes: "Your answer is so empty that I can't understand it."

Su Yu thought for a while: "Let's put it this way, I think that the person who can see the future from a higher dimension and has an intuition about the future is the inner sage; the person who presents his intuition about the future in reality is the outer king." Lao Zhuang, Confucius and Mencius are inner sages; Emperor Qinhuang, Hanwu and Wang Mang Wulong are outer kings. Of course, my understanding is one-sided, and it must be wrong, but it is also right. Because I think it is right. It is like the Confucian interpretation of this word. , is also one-sided, it is wrong, but it is also right. Because the ruler thinks it is right."

Tang Linger's big eyes drooped: "I'm going to confuse you. I don't know what you're pretending to be in your head all day, and I don't know what religion you believe in, but I always feel like you are going to become a monk. You talk nonsense all day long. , don’t you want to create a sect of your own.”

Su Yuhan smiled: "How is it possible."

Tang Ling'er hugged her belly, with a cold face: "You've been talking for a long time, what does this have to do with your making friends?"

The smile on Su Yu's face deepened: "In my opinion, Ouyang Jing, Xu Luochen, and Lin Chongyang are people who have a good chance of breaking through the current world's concepts, and raising the dimension to become inner saints or outer kings. It's a pity that they haven't been able to do it yet."

"So did you do it?"

"Neither do I. Should I stop talking, this is a goal, and chasing the goal can make me happy. On the contrary, reaching the goal may make people feel empty. So I'm not in a hurry."

……

Because there are only two masters, Cao Yuzan and Emperor Daxing, in the palace, the current palace is very streamlined.Whether this causal relationship is established or not is put aside first.There are only 300 eunuchs and 200 maids in the palace.In the past dynasties, it is a relatively rare streamlined configuration.And Cao Yuzan streamlined a large number of slaves and maidservants, which also gained a good reputation.Because Cao Yuzan said that the purpose of saving money is to build the Lonely Garden, and it can also be used to build the Great Wall.

She seemed to have misunderstood the Great Wall, or she was deliberately acting stupid.But Su Yu felt that the latter was more likely.Anyway, what she said was what the common people wanted to hear, which made the image of the Empress Dowager even more stalwart in Bai Xin's eyes.Look, our queen mother is so great, she destroys her family and repairs the Great Wall, and supports widows and orphans.

Su Yu knew in her heart that she was just worried that there were eyes and ears hidden in the palace, so she simply kicked them all out of the palace. The fewer people there, the easier it is to manage.

In fact, Cao Yuzan knew that Cao Xiaobao was bullying Ouyang Jing, and she also knew that Cao Xiaobao was bullying not only Ouyang Jing, but also Sun Bumei and Li Wantang.Not pleasing to the eye is not pleasing to the eye, he dare not touch these two people.But Ouyang Jing and others were not so lucky, a slap was considered light.Breaking his leg and throwing him outside the palace, he has done this kind of thing before.

Among those who were bullied, only Ouyang Jing dared to resist Cao Xiaobao.Moreover, Cao Yuhan discovered that Ouyang Jing was a strange person.He often expresses to Cao Yuzan that he wants to build an army of "Ming Di and killing his father", which is dedicated to killing Xuanjia army leaders like Zhao Ting and Zhang Yunlong.

But Cao Yuhan knew that the most terrible thing now was not the five generals, but the three old kings.But these three people's method of "Ming Di killing the father" is ineffective.They huddled in their shells all day long, and couldn't find a chance to make a move.

Since this wonderful flower is useless now, Ouyang Jing is equivalent to being hidden by Cao Yuzan.But Cao Yuzan treats Ouyang Jing pretty well.For example, those little jokes written by Ouyang Jing are not necessarily funny.But Cao Yuzan would still praise him and give him some pastries as rewards.

But these rewards, without exception, will be envied and retaliated by Cao Xiaobao.And Cao Yuzan thinks that Cao Xiaobao should learn a lesson.Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to let him continue to do this.Therefore, when Ouyang Jing and Cao Xiaobao were fighting at the door, Cao Yuzhan had no right to see it.

No, the two of them started fighting again. The two fought in muffled voices, not daring to make noise, but the sound of punching flesh could still be heard far away, even Cao Yuzan could be heard lying in Feixiang Hall.

But Cao Yuzan didn't bother to take care of it, but chatted with Li Wantang.

"Li Wantang, you said just now that Emperor Wanlong wanted to be placed in King Kang's place, so why didn't King Kang agree?" Cao Yuzan asked lazily as she fell down on the imperial concubine's couch.

Li Wantang respectfully said: "Kang Wang was abolished by Queen Mother Chen, and he would not be able to give birth to a son even when he was the emperor. And the only son of King Kang and his concubine was also hidden by Queen Mother Chen."

"Oh? There are such things?" Cao Yuzhan almost laughed out loud, but then frowned and asked, "But that's not the reason for him not to be emperor, is it?"

Li Wantang said: "For him, not being an emperor is actually better than being an emperor. According to the current momentum, he holds real power, hides behind the empress dowager, and puts his only grandson on the throne. A happy ending?"

Cao Yuzan nodded: "Perhaps it makes sense. On the one hand, he can live a comfortable life as a prince, and on the other hand, he can control the overall situation. His calculation is really good."

Li Wantang remained silent.

Cao Yuzan asked again: "Where is King Kang's son hidden?"

"Probably near Washington State."

Cao Yuzan was stunned: "Don't tell me that the prince who was sent to Huazhou was the son of King Kang."

Li Wantang gave a rare smile: "Of course not. That child was taken to Huazhou by Chen Xun, and Chen Xun didn't know who that child was. But that old bastard Chen Xun was very cunning. When I asked him When the child disappeared, he actually said that he had forgotten it. And the others knew nothing about the child, including Su Changsheng and the others."

Cao Yuzan smiled wryly: "With your means, can't you just beat him up?"

"Mother, you underestimate Chen Xun. This old slave has not known him for a day or two. Although he is nearly 80 years old, it is not easy to subdue him. And it is very difficult to catch him alive. It's a pure Mohist, with a nature that would rather die than surrender."

"Then why did he hide this secret..." Cao Yuzan frowned and thought about it, then changed the subject: "Just now you told me that Zhao Liangjun was not dead and was taken away by Monk Wuliang. Then where is he arranged now? ? In Daxiangguo Temple?"

Li Wantang frowned: "It should be so, but this old slave has never seen any children in Daxiangguo Temple. Even Tang Feihu has never seen any children. I don't know where Fan Yu arranged for them."

As soon as Tang Feihu was mentioned, Cao Yuzan's face darkened, and he sat up and cursed: "It's not up to par. I said don't participate, she insisted on going. What happened? She lived like a ghost. With all his skills, he went to be the daughter-in-law of that half-smooth and half-stupid Tang Qi, and was rejected by others. At that time, I only thought that Fan Yu was a demon monk, who only did ugly things that harmed people. I didn't expect him to be Wan Yu. Long, it's really strange, he can't be a beast, he will die without a woman?"

Li Wantang showed embarrassment: "The old slave was seven years old, so he doesn't know much about such things..."

Cao Yuzan said angrily: "The old man is finally dead. I want to find out Cao Wudi, Zhang Wudi, and Gongsun Wudi. I want to see who they are!"

Li Wantang said: "It's absolutely impossible. In fact, their existence is similar to the special order arranged by the Queen Mother. Moreover, the Sanmen Clan has acquiesced in their existence for a long time. This is also an expression of sincerity to the royal family. Otherwise, the Liang Dynasty will last for more than 100 years. , if there is no trust between the three warlords, it would have collapsed long ago."

The sound of fighting outside was still going on, Cao Yuzan still didn't want to worry about it, but said: "Last time you asked Qiu Yao to test Su Yu, what was the result of the test?"

Li Wantang said: "Qiu Yao gave the box and list to Su Yu, and Su Yu took them home, but he just brought them back and sent them back. He also asked Qiu Yao to return them."

"What does this mean?"

"The old slave was not sure, so he didn't tell the Queen Mother."

"Oh……"

Cao Yuzan snorted, and then heard a scream from outside the gate.Guessing that Ouyang Jing couldn't hold on any longer, Cao Yuhan waved his sleeves and fell down lazily.

Li Wantang strode towards the door, but saw Cao Xiaobao running in holding his wrist. He wanted to complain to Cao Yuzan, saying that Ouyang Jing had dislocated his wrist.

Li Wantang walked out of the gate and saw Ouyang Jing lying on the ground, dying...
