If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 4
The poem I just read comes from the five-character quatrains written by Luo Guanzhong for Zhuge Liang.

The full text is: Who will realize the big dream first?All my life I know myself.The thatched cottage is full of sleep in spring, and the sun is getting late outside the window.

For this poem, there are three kinds of interpretation and translation.

One is that life is like a dream, who can see everything in the dream?But I can clearly understand the laws of everything in the world.

In the thatched cottage, the feeling of spring is strong. During this afternoon nap, I slept for several hours. When I woke up, the sun outside the window was already westward, and the setting sun was sinking, and it was almost late.

This is one explanation.

Another explanation is who is the most enlightened and wise person?I know it well.

The third is that I am the most wise and virtuous minister in the world, and the Ming Lord I wait for every day will come later.

Although there are many explanations for this poem, these three explanations are generally accepted.

And why did Luo Guanzhong write like this?

What is "Who will realize the big dream first"?
Why did Lin Ke recite these two lines of poems instead of "Looking up at the bright moon" or "The sun is at the end of the mountain" and the like?

Because this poem contains a very high Taoist rhyme!
Rhyme of Tao!
The great dream and great awakening in the poem are a Taoist view of life.

"Zhuangzi·Qiwulun" said: "Fang has a dream, but he doesn't know his dream, and he occupies his dream in his dream. After he wakes up, he knows his dream; and after he has great awakening, he knows his dream. "

The original meaning is that death is a great awakening, and life is a great dream.

That's why Lin Ke chose this poem.

Since it is possible to become a Taoist Taoist, then this kind of poems containing Taoist rhymes must be more likely to be favored?
After Lin Ke finished reciting this poem, his eyes slowly turned to the plum tree in the courtyard.

This plum blossom tree planted by "Lin Ke"'s mother is about two meters long, standing proudly like a resolute girl.

Inch Yin is old, Xingshuang is fleeting, she has always been here like this.

And under the tree is the mother's bones, and on the soil there is a small tombstone without words.

This is the final destination of "Lin Ke"'s mother.

Lin Ke looked at the plum blossom tree with love and regret in his eyes, then slowly got up and walked over it step by step.

As an actor, how do you perform to get into the play the most?
In addition to external expressions such as eyes, movements, demeanor, and language, the most important thing is the sense of substitution.

Lin Ke must be brought into the role of "Lin Ke" in order to have stronger emotions!

As he approached Plum Blossom, his body slowly stood tall and straight, like a sword slowly unsheathed for many years, exuding a sense of firmness and sharpness.

The blue shirt that had been washed many times and turned white couldn't stop Lin Ke's dusty, sword-like aura.

Walked over a few steps, stood in front of the plum tree, stretched out his hand and pulled the plum blossoms that had just bloomed in front of him towards the tip of his nose.

He narrowed his eyes, leaned over and sniffed lightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

Then he let go of the plum blossoms in his hand, watched the plum blossoms sway and slowly float down, and remained silent.

He stood up straight, with one hand behind his back, as if he was also a plum tree standing in the cold winter and heavy snow, with his own character.

Then he chuckled, and a firm look appeared on his face:
"The sharp edge of a sword is sharpened,"

"Plum blossom from the bitter cold."

His eyes were extremely firm, and after he finished reciting, he raised his arms and stroked his palms, and said to himself with a smile: "Mother, I will definitely be like you, becoming a proud plum in the cold and snow."

But in an instant, he sighed heavily, as if he wanted to let out the humiliation and unwillingness of these years together with this sigh.

Sighing, he shook his head.

And at this moment, a voice rang out in Lin Ke's mind.

"Ding."

"The decision has been made."

While Lin Ke was waiting for the voice's next words, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.

When Lin Ke took a closer look, he found that he was no longer in the courtyard of Pichai, but in a room.

He tensed up instantly.

There is a mahogany table in front of you, and two people are sitting face to face. There is a chess board on the table, and there are many chess pieces in black and white.

A middle-aged man in black clothes looked at him with interest and asked, "What's your name?"

"Junior Lin Ke, I met senior."

Although he appeared here suddenly, Lin Ke didn't panic, but continued with his acting talent.

Putting his hands together, he first bowed to the middle-aged man in black clothes and answered, then turned around and bowed to the white-clothed man opposite him: "I have seen you, senior."

No matter what kind of dynasty it is in, etiquette must be in place.

Because when Lin Ke was in that world, he was a top student in the acting department and had participated in too many costume dramas, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the strictness of ancient etiquette.

In terms of cooperation, it came from the memory of "Lin Ke", and his etiquette performance was naturally quite satisfactory, so that the two middle-aged people could not find fault.

After saluting, Lin Ke stood up and looked at the faces of the two of them.

This middle-aged man dressed in black had a fierce face in Lin Ke's eyes, as if he could grab someone's collar and use his fists to reason with others whenever he talked to him.

His sitting posture is carefree, ordinary like an uncle who can pull himself to sit on the ground with him at any time.

On the opposite side, the middle-aged man in white was very quiet, sitting there with an aura of calmness and prestige.

Lin Ke felt that the man in white was difficult to get along with, but he felt very familiar, and couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The personalities of the two sides are very different, it is hard to imagine that these two people can sit together and play chess quietly.

When Lin Ke was thinking at a high speed, he only heard the voice of the middle-aged man in black asking him narrowly: "Hey, Lin Shangshu's son?"

"Yes, senior!" Lin Ke nodded lightly, his tone neither humble nor overbearing.

"Oh." The middle-aged man in black clothes pointed at the man in white shirt opposite: "Don't you know who he is?"

Could it be from the Lin family?
Lin Ke's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help scrutinizing the middle-aged man in white.

This middle-aged man in white clothes should be a scholar, with gray hair and a strict and strict complexion.

It's just that Lin Ke's eyebrows are getting more and more familiar the more he looks, the more he looks the more familiar...

Immediately, he thought of someone!

Is it...

"Haha, forget it if you don't recognize him!" The middle-aged man in black laughed, winked at the man in white, and then looked at Lin Ke:
"Don't talk about that... Lin Ke, I need you to help me with something. If you help me, I can promise you any conditions..."

"Of course, I need what I can do and what doesn't violate my heart. Any conditions are fine."

The middle-aged man in black smiled.

"Help? Any conditions?" Lin Ke asked suspiciously after hearing the words and pretending to think about it:
"The junior, Lin Ke, knows that his talents and knowledge are lacking, and he doesn't know how he can have such an honor... If the junior can help the senior, he should do everything he can."

Simply put...

I think my ability is average!

But if you think I can do it, then I'll do it!
Of course, you will also give me the reward.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in black laughed and said, "Okay! Haha! You're not very talented, and Bao Jianfeng has honed himself to say something like this, not everyone can say it!"

The laughter stopped, and he continued to point at the middle-aged man in the white shirt opposite with a little indifference: "I made a bet with this man, that is, we will each choose one of them, and I will give you a year to see how much you can learn. You yourself, three months later, six months later, and the end of the year, three games, two wins out of three."

Three games, two wins in three games!

One year!
Lin Ke's heart was pounding.

If I remember correctly, one year later will be his last chance to participate in the imperial examination, because he will be an adult next year!

This opportunity must be seized!

Get out of citizenship, and then take the children's test!

When Lin Ke was thinking, the man in white glanced at Lin Ke indiscriminately, and a complex fan-shaped diagram flashed in his eyes.

Including disgust, nausea, regret and other emotions.

But because of his excellent cultivation skills, Lin Ke didn't notice it, nor was he seen by the middle-aged man in black.

"How about it, do you want to participate?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man in black twitched his mouth, sat back in his seat, and looked at Lin Ke with a smile on his face.

"Participate!" Lin Ke didn't hesitate, and his tone was firm: "Of course, this junior knows that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and the stupid bird flies first, but this junior doesn't want to fight unprepared..."

"That is to say, you agree?"

The man in black smiled when he heard Lin Ke's words, and said happily, "It's okay, your opponent is just a Confucian scholar."

Immediately afterwards, he continued to add: "I will not let you lose, and I believe that I see people's eyes."

Confucianism...Confucian scholars? ?

Lin Ke's face was a little stiff, but he wasn't too timid, but he still bowed and said, "This junior is just an ordinary person..."

Confucian scholars...

What are Confucian scholars?

Those are people who have stepped into the road of Confucianism and Taoism!

The Confucianist state is equivalent to the Daoist state, the same as the novice state... It is the beginning of the road of practice!
Generally, at least one has to pass the childbirth test before one can have a glimpse of the Confucianism and Taoism, and then step into this realm.

In contrast, Lin Ke is just an ordinary boy!

Nothing but good looks!

"Don't be afraid, the things you are comparing don't involve those things." The middle-aged man in black smiled all over his eyes: "In short, it's good if you agree... Haha, I didn't expect that I also picked up a treasure."

As he said that, the middle-aged man in black laughed a few more times: "Okay, now it's up to the old man to choose who... Lin Ke, just wait by the side and see which one the old man will choose from my Qi family." Big boy."

"Yes."

Lin Ke nodded upon hearing this.

Even though he knew that his opponent was a Confucian scholar, he had no other ideas.

Now is the best chance to get out of citizenship.

Must be caught!
Lin Ke's eyes were calm, his expression was natural, and he began to think about the system and the decision just now in his mind.

You bet yourself!
When Lin Ke saw the three choices, he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and started an analysis.

Whether it is choice one or two or three, there is a subject mentioned, that is "unknown strong man".

He didn't know whether this strong man was a Confucian strong man, a Taoist strong man, or a military man, or maybe it was all possible.

If you don't know the situation, you can't rely on luck to make a decision. This is not in line with his steady personality.

He has already lived this second life, and he doesn't want to hand over his fate to the so-called fate.

He wants to hold these firmly in his own hands, right in front of his eyes.

Therefore, he quickly made various deduction in his mind.

Unknown powerhouse?
Why are there unknown strong men?
One must know that Lin Ke is in the Lin Mansion!

Lin Mansion, where is Lin Mansion?
The Patriarch of the Lin family is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites at that time, and he is one of the few people who are at the pinnacle of the contemporary era in terms of cultivation and power.

Idle people in this world dare to cast their eyes on Lin Fu at will?
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Xing, and the Ministry of Industry, these six departments are the same as in the previous life.

What else?
There are also six departments: Daoist Department, Demon Department, Spirit Department, Ghost Department, Six Clan Department, and Hundred Family Department!
The entire Taoism and Buddhism count as one department, and the Ministry of Rites is directly one department. Can this be compared?

Therefore, the "unknown powerhouses" that Lin Ke is most likely to come into contact with now are several other ministers!

Coupled with the appearance of the middle-aged man in the white shirt...

The middle-aged man in the white shirt is Lin Shangshu, most likely the father of Lin Ke!

And this middle-aged man in black must be one of the twelve ministers of industry, household and agriculture!
Thinking of this, Lin Ke looked at the middle-aged man in white with a hint of shock.

But there are also fortunate.

When he looked at the three options before, he guessed that the eyes of this unknown being came from the same person.

As a Shangshu, there must be a lot of people to know, so the result of the choice leads to a different path.

And Lin Ke made a trick!

I did a multiple-choice question, and all three paths were taken!

He saw that choice one was very simple. He put down the hatchet, looked at the sky and said an ancient poem. There was no requirement to say whether to sit or stand, and there was no requirement for the number of words in the poem.

The second option is simpler, which is to let yourself sit and chop wood ten times.

The third choice is to let yourself stand under the plum tree, first chant poems, then stroke your palms, and finally chant poems.

Lin Ke quickly made a clear execution route in his mind.

That is to make choice two first, followed by choice one, and then slowly make choice three.

At that time, he was sitting on a stool, chopping wood along the trend, and chopped ten times. He had already chopped more than one hundred thousand times, and more than ten times were as simple as breathing.

Then he put down the hatchet again, looked at the sky and read a poem, then got up and executed choice three, got up and walked under the plum tree, and read the poem again.

In this way, all three items are completed.

Very reasonable!
Very smooth!
Much smoother than expected!

It really echoed the previous sentence: Only children do multiple-choice questions, but all adults do.

I just don't know what the final decision will be.

Thinking of this, the voice in my mind sounded again.

"Ding."

"The decision reward has been issued, please check it."

　Ask for a ticket~
