Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 154 The Heavenly Prison Enlightenment (4k)

View of Xuandu, in the dark room.

An old gentleman dressed as a Confucian suddenly appeared, and the room was bright.

This is not any magical technique, but the old man's inner light blooms, making the dark room no longer dark, and it can also be said that the spiritual realm has reached an extremely high level.

When the inner light is bright, it affects the outside world.

Make fakes come true.

The great Confucianism is Wang Zongzhi, one of the three deputy chiefs of the academy.

After he appeared, he sat opposite Emperor Liang and said softly:

"Your Majesty, stop."

Emperor Liang looked at him for a long time, slowly closed his gloomy dragon eyes, and said lightly:
"Master Wang, my virtue is weak, is it really as he said?"

Wang Zongzhi pondered for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty still remembers that in the early years of Anping, not long after he ascended the throne, His Majesty started to eliminate the evils, and the country took on a new look.

The minister listed a few major events that are still fresh in his memory, such as: His Majesty issued an imperial edict, exhorting people to cultivate their minds by being respectful and obedient, establishing a system of clothing and clothing to distinguish their identities, removing the statues of saints made of civil engineering, and depriving eunuchs of court status. The power outside the court, the previous dynasty had destroyed the Confucius Temple and did not offer sacrifices. It was His Majesty's order that he began to sacrifice to the Master again, so that he could have a clear position in the temple, and extend the grace to the descendants of the Master. Dong Lu Hou's daughter entered the palace, showing the preferential treatment for the descendants of saints. "

He paused, and said: "It's not that I flattered His Majesty, but the situation at that time was indeed the case. When His Majesty came to the throne, the three old masters of the previous generation of the Academy all asserted that His Majesty was wise and decisive, better than many others in the past three generations. Mingjun, if your Majesty can appoint wise ministers, stay away from the villains in the court, persist in saving expenses, be considerate of the people's feelings, and not exhaust the people's strength, the world will be peaceful, the Taicang will be full, the money and grain will be piled up like mountains, and the people's lives will be peaceful and prosperous. It's just around the corner. At that time, everyone in the world expected His Majesty to become a generation of enlightened rulers with great achievements. But His Majesty did not persevere as before..."

Emperor Liang: "But do you know what he said?"

"Your Majesty wants to rebel? Is this what a minister should say? Could it be that he is a sub-sage and not my minister? Is there such a reason in the world? Even so, I did not order him to be killed. Mr. Wang came, On the contrary, they blamed me, isn't my heart not broad enough? You think I can't govern the country well. Didn't I order the officials and the crown prince to discuss national policies and save my people? If they can do it, I can rest assured that the world will be handed over into the hands of the prince."

Wang Zongzhi: "Yasheng didn't mean that. How could your majesty misinterpret his original meaning? The world belongs to the people of the world. I can't deny that this is the consensus in the hearts of the courtiers. You should be cautious when you are in trouble. This is the root cause of the collapse of the dynasty in the history books. How can your Majesty turn a blind eye? The courtiers said that the whole world is not the land of the king. It is to clarify the program, unify the thinking, and not to be confused. But in fact, it is as the minister said earlier. Moral education is used to educate people, but moral education can't be used to educate people, and steel whips are needed. Isn't your majesty treating the subjects of the world like this? I don't think that your majesty is at fault for arbitrarily arbitrarily ruling the court, and all wise lords are like this. But saints also have When you make a mistake, I just hope that your Majesty can face it and correct it. The monarch has made a mistake, but the subject still has to hide it. That is the real sin. Yasheng just did what a saint should do. Where do you put this sentence? The minister said the same thing."

Emperor Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm old and virtuous. I recognize part of what you said, but the world has come to this point. Is it my fault? The officials want to use this to push the fault on me. Is it true? What reason should the ministers have? So, let the officials and the prince discuss a national policy that can save the people, if not, then I have something to say."

Wang Zongzhi knew that he would not be able to persuade Emperor Liang after all.

He persuaded him, but he really couldn't persuade him.

This majesty is headstrong and stubborn, and he is indeed suitable for cultivating Taoism.

And he knew very well that Emperor Liang's real intention was to take back the initiative over the court, and then take the opportunity to deal with Yasheng.

Wang Zongzhi hoped that Emperor Liang could reconcile with Yasheng.

He saw Yasheng's true intentions from the content of the palace examination article and what Yasheng said at the end, and Emperor Liang naturally understood it.

First behead the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and then behead the Neo Confucianism.

Fight against the world with one person.

The heart of seeking the Tao will never regret after nine deaths.

This is indeed the nature of a saint.

But the saint who Confucianism has been looking forward to for thousands of years, is it just to destroy Confucianism?

Because Neo Confucianism has been integrated with Confucianism and is inseparable.

Ever since Tianhan deposed the hundred schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the hundred schools of thought have actually merged into the Confucian school, the Confucian school is the hundred schools, and the hundred schools are the Confucian school.

I thought that the new sages would also be integrated into the Confucian school of today's Confucianism. Even if there are differences in learning, it is to pick up the missing and make up for the omissions, further consolidate the status of the Confucian school, and bring forth the new to save the people.

But looking at his words and deeds, there is nothing like that.

The last sage of Confucianism clearly looks like he wants to destroy Confucianism.

If Confucianism is overthrown, how can Confucianism be safe and sound.

At that time, when the walls are built and pushed down, can the orthodoxy survive?

Wang Zongzhi only hoped that the other party used aggressive behavior to negotiate terms.

Emperor Liang and Yasheng took a step back each.

Today's world really can't stand too much trouble.

Neo Confucianism has many bad sides, but it can bring the greatest stability to the world.

...

...

Civil and military officials and the prince naturally could not agree to Emperor Liang's will.

So Yan Shi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, took the initiative to submit his resignation, thinking that the world had reached this point, and as the chief assistant, he was duty-bound.

In addition to Gao Zhen, four of the six ministers submitted their resignations voluntarily.

Three cabinet scholars, including Yan Shi, handed in their resignations.

As for the chief officials below the hall officials, there are quite a few resignations.

They each narrated their sins, waited for Emperor Liang's punishment, and pushed the problem of corruption in state affairs to themselves.

Only in this way can the face of Jun father be saved.

Seeing that they were under the steps, Emperor Liang temporarily agreed to the resignation of these people.

So I returned to the Longevity Palace from Xuandu Temple.

A day later, the court reopened.

All civil, military and princes are there.

Emperor Liang appeared on the jade steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a haggard face, without a jade case, as if he had experienced great torture.

"Your Majesty, the subjects are guilty."

All civil and military officials, nobles, and princes knelt down one after another.

Seeing the emperor like this, they had to kneel, and many of them shed tears.

With the support of Eunuch Lin, Emperor Liang sat on the dragon chair, there seemed to be a little splash in his eyes, and he resisted falling down. His eyes were blood red, as if he had not slept for a long time.

"Since the examination in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I haven't closed my eyes for three days and three nights."

"Your Majesty." A minister was distraught.

"Father." The crown prince and the two princes burst into tears.

Emperor Liang's blood-red eyes looked up at the ceiling on the top of the hall, and he said after a while:
"There were only five great scholars in the current dynasty, and I dismissed three of them! Look at these pillars of the court, which one is not gray-haired, which one is not well-educated, but they are dead, and my heart is broken! With the current situation in my hands, I am ashamed of the world and guilty of the country, I wish I could be dismissed..."

Emperor Liang was so angry that he almost roared, without any psychological pressure, and dumped the blame on the three elders who had handed in their resignations and were dismissed by him.

All the ministers showed signs of trepidation, and today's scene had to be performed with Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang was obviously still angry, and pointed at the noses of the courtiers below and cursed: "And you, the high-sounding officials standing in the court hall, do you ask yourself if you are guilty? I know that some of you are worse than them! I advise you In a word, clean up your heart, liver, and lungs!"

Shameless!
absurd!

But what can the ministers do? Is it true that Emperor Liang should go to Xuandu again and leave the mess to them?

If they want to save the Liang Dynasty, they have to cede their own interests, how is that possible?

Benefits are not created out of thin air. If some people have more, others will have less.

The way of human beings is not enough to be damaged but more to be given, that is the situation in Daliang Dynasty today.

The ministers, nobles, and princes all have more than enough, so can they really make up for it at the expense of themselves?
Wouldn't that make him a saint?

All His Highness kowtowed and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Liang glanced at all of them, and it seemed that everyone had looked at them, including the crown prince, including the two princes...

He said slowly: "Now I understand very well that the biggest disaster of this girder is inside, not outside, and it is in this Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"If the people here are rotten, the whole country will be rotten. If you are all rotten, there will be riots all over the country. Just think about how many people have died under your feet. Think about the great rebels of the past dynasties, Whoever comes in is not the one who trampled the bones of the public in Tianjie."

When he said this, he paused.

The hall was silent like a cicada.

After a while, Emperor Liang continued to speak: "I haven't closed my eyes for several days, thinking about it in my heart, thinking about something to tell you. In the end, I summed up the four words 'fair and bright', which is easier said than done. Difficult! Just these four words, I have racked my brains to come up with it. From today on, this place is called Zhengda Guangming Palace!"

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a plaque engraved with the four characters "Upright and Bright" is slowly rising.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was also changed to "Hall of Zhengda Guangming."

The historian wrote urgently.

He had to say that Emperor Liang's words made sense, but compared to Kia Shenggong's calm statement, His Majesty's hysterical reprimand was not convincing.

This is the memoir of Daliang, no praise or criticism.

But after he went back, he secretly made a comparative evaluation of Yashenggong's calm statement and Liangdi's angry reprimand of the officials.

"Your Majesty's strategizing, lashing out at Yu Nei, using the spells of Shen and Shang, and Zhang Yi's and Chen Ping's ingenious schemes, can finally save the court. You can be said to be an extraordinary person, an outstanding person beyond the world."

Shang Yang committed suicide by his actions, Chen Ping liked conspiracy, and historians said nothing about it.

As for the evaluation of Yasheng:

There is a poem: "The mountains stop when they look up, and the scenery stops when they go." Although they can't reach it, they yearn for it.

No matter how straightforward the historian's words were, Emperor Liang finally threw the pot out and regained the initiative in the court.The content of angrily scolding the officials also caused waves in the capital of God, saving a lot of image points for Emperor Liang.

As for the matter of the palace examination, under the strict investigation of the embroidered clothes guards, it gradually faded away.

Angrily scolding the officials as a classic, it has been widely circulated for the time being.

...

...

Qin Chuan is still in the dungeon.

Yuan Hong persuaded him to kill him, but Qin Chuan felt that it was not time yet.

He needs time to digest the realization he has gained recently, and Emperor Liang also needs time to prepare.

Now is the calm before the storm.

And the sky prison can prevent Qin Chuan from being disturbed by people and things outside. Is there any place more quiet and safe than the sky prison?
Gao Zhen and Huang Meng went out.

Jiang Chong also didn't come back for the time being.

Yuan Hong continued to practice martial arts in the secret prison to consolidate the realm of martial arts.

Qin Chuan began to realize the Tao.

It's just that the process didn't go so smoothly.

The deepest part of the dungeon seems to be connected to the Nine Nether Hells. Every night, there are countless ghosts howling, trying to disturb Qin Chuan's mind.

Yuan Hong couldn't take it anymore.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

Yuan Hong said that if he cultivated ghosts and immortals for him, there would be such a commotion, he might go to the underworld and settle accounts with the old man, the King of Hades.

Qin Chuan felt at ease.

He knew that this must have been caused by Emperor Liang secretly.

If Qin Chuan was restless and restless, he would follow the other party's lead.

Qin Chuan was calm and calm, and Yuan Hongzi also settled down.

He is a martial sage, even if he becomes agitated, it will only be a murderous attack, and he will kill the Buddha when he encounters the Buddha.To put it bluntly, it's just that my hands are itchy now, and I want to go out and do something big.

If Qin Chuan hadn't wanted to keep it, he would have killed it long ago.

Qin Chuan enlightened in the deepest part of the dungeon!

It seemed to be connected to the underworld, and the howls of countless ghosts and ghosts made Qin Chuan think about life and death.

It was a coincidence that he became the primordial spirit.

Beyond life and death, the process is difficult to explain clearly.

Now the miserable howls of these ghosts brought the matter of life and death to Qin Chuan again.

But Qin Chuan was not panicked, he had already obtained immortality.

It just needs to face the catastrophe.

Since he transcended life and death, he naturally had no fear of the ghosts.

So he considers not birth and death, but birth and death.

The difference between one word and the meaning is completely different.

People die as ghosts.

In fact, it just exists in another form.

Birth and death are not.

The pursuit of immortality is immortality.

Death is the beginning of another form, and immortality is the perpetuation of one form.

The so-called long life and long vision.

The meaning of Jiushi probably has this meaning.

The world is the most unstoppable, Zhu Yancijinghuacishu.

Qin Chuan's pursuit is to keep him.

Longevity is not longevity like the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, but to retain the beauty that one wants to keep. This is the meaning of longevity.

It is also the driving force for achieving the primordial spirit and attaining Taoism and longevity.

This is also attachment.

Only persistence can lead to Tao, but persistence can also block Tao.

A person who seeks the Tao cannot lack persistence.

Qin Chuan must first clarify his own persistence.

"The way I seek is not Yuan Shi, Tai Chi, selflessness, or the holy mission entrusted by all the sages, but the persistence I seek in my heart. Keeping those things that I think is beautiful is also the heart of conscience. Seek the heart."

"Only one's mind is clear, so one can see one's nature."

Qin Chuan's physical body fell into a dead silence, and his Dao heart also fell into a dead silence.

He seemed to turn into nothingness in an instant, without breath.

The deepest prison in the Heavenly Prison encloses him like a coffin.

In the endless silence, his expression revealed a calm and calm demeanor. In the dark and humid dungeon, the sound of gurgling water unexpectedly overwhelmed the wailing of those ghosts.

Covered up death.

Bring the endless life of flowing water.

Only by living endlessly can we keep the beauty.

Otherwise, goodness does not have an endless cycle of life and death, and it becomes a dead thing.

A flower of Dao bloomed in Qin Chuan's heart.
