I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 184: After four sentences of Hengqu. In full view of everyone, he helped his wife cover her hands.
Su Changan was so helpless.

Although I also understand the question of 'why reading', it is actually very important for readers.

But this matter varies from person to person. After all, everyone's environment, family background, and other aspects of things are different.

So 'why study' becomes not a fixed answer.

But looking at Su Changan's current posture, it was clear that he wanted a fixed answer, like this.
Then give one.

After Yan Shu saluted, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yan Shu with great interest, because whether it was Mu Xu, Xun Kuang, or Su Wenqing and others, they often mentioned the poor student named Yan Shu in front of her.

Yan Shu bowed his hands and looked at Su Chang'an: "Empress, at the previous literary meeting, Your Majesty once asked, 'Why study?' Because of why I was studying, the empress had answered Mr. Wen's question once at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, which the student still remembered, but there were also some doubts in it, so I asked the question again today."

At this point, Yan Shu bowed his hands and said, "Students are stupid and stupid, so I ask your forgiveness."

At first glance, Yan Shu didn't have the upright spirit of Wei Anming just now, let alone the desperate integrity of Li Ziyu just now, and compared with Zuo Shaoweng's elegance, Li Wei's high-spiritedness.

but.
Yan Shu is very gentle and gives people a very friendly feeling, like the spring breeze blowing on the page, and the comfort is long.

After everyone looked at Yan Shu, they all looked at Su Changan.

Su Changan looked at Yan Shu and said with a smile, "Do you know your faith?"

Yan Shu nodded: "Students know."

Su Changan smiled and said: "If reading is regarded as faith, what do you think should be said?"

Yan Shu was stunned.

Many officials present, including masters and gentlemen, were all stunned.

Do you regard reading as a religion?
Everyone present looked at Su Changan.

Everyone present knows what faith is, especially there are many Confucius and Masters who firmly believe in Taoism.

Just treating reading as a belief sounds a bit forced.

After all, reading is a practical action, but it is a belief, and it is a kind of reverence for truth.

Or, the empress means to regard reading as a spiritual idea and thus regard it as the highest idea.

But isn’t this an extreme?
Some Confucius gentlemen present looked at Su Chang'an in confusion, because this kind of concept exists in the school, but it is not highly praised because it is extreme. To put it bluntly, it is just trying to get into trouble, and the road will only get narrower and narrower. What's more, reading is a broad road, how can you take a small road?

A gentleman from the Confucian school came out at this time, bowed his hands and said, "My Lady, reading cannot be regarded as belief. If you regard it as belief, reading will be changed."

Su Changan remembered that this gentleman was a gentleman from Jiaozhou and was quite knowledgeable. He immediately said: "Sir, you have misunderstood me. Please listen to me."

This gentleman was not unreasonable, but he was a little impatient, so he stood up. When he heard the words, he immediately bowed his hands and apologized, and then looked at Su Changan to answer.

At this time, Yan Shu also spoke: "The student doesn't know how to express himself."

Su Changan took Xia Fengxiang's hand out of his arms.

However, this action was not blocked by clothes, so it was naturally seen by many people.

Everyone was surprised.

Why is your majesty's hand on your mother's belly?
Are these two noble men so good at playing? !

Or.
Your Majesty actually feels uncomfortable in her abdomen, so your Majesty is helping her to rub it gently?
Yes, the empress herself is suffering from illness. The priest said before that she was not sure whether she would be able to come tonight.
Thinking like this, everyone saw the slight frown on the empress's face, as if she was worried, and they were even more moved when they saw Su Changan's heart.

If he was friendly to the people once or twice, no one would think anything of it.

But the Queen is so easy-going and gentle with others every time!

but.
In fact, Xia Fengxiang was embarrassed when he saw Su Changan taking out his hand without shame in front of everyone, so he just glared at Su Changan.

but
Su Changan ignored Xia Fengxiang. Everyone knew they were young lovers, so why not do such a thing? Even if they kissed in public, it would be fine.

So Su Changan stood up and looked at everyone below and said: "In Buddhism, 'Buddha said that all sentient beings should be saved.' Therefore, many believers take kindness as their duty and do good as their priority. 'Buddha said that all living beings are equal,' and believers treat them with equal eyes. Everything in the world. This is their belief.”

"Taoism advocates the inner cultivation of individuals and the peace of mind, which is the way of nature and the way of the universe. It advocates 'governing by doing nothing'. Therefore, people who practice Taoism regard it as a belief and often practice meditation to tolerate everything and naturally Don’t make demands on yourself for the sake of others, so treat others and things in a friendly manner.”

"As for scholars, although they have no fixed ideas, the sage once said, 'Aspire to Tao, live in virtue, rely on benevolence, and swim in art.' Therefore, scholars pay attention to treating others with courtesy. This can actually be understood as us scholars cultivating ourselves. faith."

"Moreover, there is a saying in [Shang Shu]: 'The human heart is in danger, the Taoist heart is only small, the essence is only one, and it is allowed to hold on to the center.' This is another sixteen-character biography of scholars of our generation who are firm in their goals. I think this is also a belief. .”

When Su Chang'an said this, Li Wei stood up, bowed his hands and asked: "What do you mean, our generation of scholars already have faith? The only difference is how to understand it and how to practice it? "

Su Changan smiled and said: "The word faith is too big. It is big enough to include everything in the world, but it is too big for our thoughts to contain it. But it is also very small, so small that we think it is an ordinary thing." Small things are enough to be done unswervingly. It all depends on how you speak and understand."

"The reason why I asked this is actually to say that why scholars study is a big or small matter. In fact, you all know in your hearts why you study to get fame, but if you really want to say it, Why do scholars study? I think it should be 'to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the livelihood of the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations.'"

Su Changan smiled awkwardly and added: "These words are a bit big, and the big words are a bit scary. So I ask all you masters and students not to laugh at me. After all, I am just a lucky person and I can't teach more. I don’t know how to teach. But I think these four sentences should be spoken.”

quiet~~~
After listening to what Su Changan said, everyone fell into deep thought.

Including Mu Xu, Yang Shanchang them.

But everyone looked at Su Changan with disbelief.

Just because of Su Changan’s four words!

Su Changan's four very ordinary sentences were very big!
It's even bigger than 'Reading for Daxia'!
But its meaning is so simple and profound, and it is thought-provoking.

But it was the first time for everyone to hear these four ordinary sentences, and they were astonished and enlightened.

I just feel that Su Changan can say these four sentences, he really deserves to be the mother of Daxia!

At this moment.
A master stood up and looked at Su Changan: "Madam, these four sentences are shocking to people's hearts, but I think they are not too true or too exaggerated."

Old Master Zhao Shi stood up and said: "No, no, one person cannot do it, but what about ten people? What about a hundred people? What about tens of thousands of people? There are so many scholars in my country in Daxia. I have been thinking about the 'faith' thing that the empress just said for a long time. It was with emotion that it was not until the empress said these four sentences that must be passed down through the ages that I realized why the empress had to talk about faith in the first place."

"Students have no faith at all, but if we pursue it, just as the empress said, the saint's words and principles left by the saints are all my scholars' beliefs. Today, the four sentences the empress said are carefully considered, why not be what we scholars have in mind? The world of imagination. If all the tens of thousands of scholars in our country have this goal, how prosperous our country will be!"

Old Master Zhu shook his head and stood up and said: "These four sentences of the empress exaggerate the existence, but they can be passed down through the ages, just because they can be 'faith' and the goals pursued by scholars all over the world. Among the Buddhists, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva endures It is as motionless as the earth, and its meditation is as deep as a secret treasure. It is said that 'Hell will not be empty, and you will not enter the Buddha'. This is a big statement, but it also proves the concept of 'Buddha said that all sentient beings can be saved'."

When Master Zhu said this, another master stood up and said: "The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops. Although I can't reach it, I yearn for it."

……

At this time, one by one the masters and gentlemen stood up and began to discuss.

Old scholars pay attention to etiquette, but if it is in the current academic situation, especially these four inspiring, thought-provoking and long words, it makes these masters and gentlemen who have spent their whole lives studying and discussing knowledge forget the present moment and start to Discussion started.

but
Masters and gentlemen, this is the case.

The students outside were savoring these words carefully.

I just feel passionate and upright!
Scholars of our generation study with great ambitions, for the sake of heaven and earth, for the livelihood of the people, for the sake of pilgrims, and for the sake of eternity.

Although some among the students know deeply that these four sentences are very big, as Su Changan said, they are scary, but...
It’s the goal!

This is what these passionate scholars, who cherish the feelings of their family and country, and dream of serving their country and creating prosperity, think about all the time!

Is it big? ?

Great!

But not too big!

Because that’s what you need to do to study!

Therefore, although the students listened to the discussion by the masters and gentlemen, their eyes were fixed on Su Changan who was standing at the front of the lecture hall.In the eyes of many people, the admiration is deeper and the respect is stronger.

Even more students, whose hearts were filled with excitement as they thought about these four lines of poetry, bowed deeply to Su Changan.

Many of them looked at Su Changan, their eyes full of admiration, fervent and eager.

Su Changan watched the discussion among the masters and gentlemen below. Of course, some officials also joined in now.

No one does not think these four sentences are wrong.

The only difference lies in how to understand these four sentences.

This is normal.

After all, we are all masters and gentlemen present, and they all have their own thoughts and ideas, so it is impossible not to discuss them.

After all, these four sentences of Hengqu had been debated a lot in his previous life.

Those who admire it regard it as a philosophy of life.

But those who insulted him only thought that these four lines of rhetoric were Zhang Zi's arrogant words and the words that were sarcastic to Confucianism.

but
Hengqu's four sentences, no matter how they are demoted, how they are discussed, and how they are even criticized by those who can't stand Zhang Zi.

These four sentences indeed contain the answer to the scholar's question "Why do you read?"

Yang Shanchang had been sitting in his seat from beginning to end. He stood up and said loudly: "The Queen."

Yang Shanchang's voice was loud.

Many people in the lecture hall were surprised when they heard this, and immediately looked at the empress, and even saw the empress.

Everyone immediately bowed their hands and saluted.

And Yang Shanchang came out, bowed his hands towards Su Changan and said: "Old minister, I think what the empress said has opened a bright light for the world's students and established their faith. Please allow the empress to allow me to make these four sentences into a plaque and hang it in my study." .”

It was all fine at first, but when Yang Shan grew up, his mood suddenly changed.

These four sentences are so brilliant.

Everyone present knows it!

But when Yang Shanchang came out and said these words, everyone thought he was flattering, which was extremely disgusting.

Su Changan said: "The master was joking. He just said these four sentences. If the master likes it, just take it."

But just when Su Chang'an finished speaking, Yan Jingqing stood up and said: "The empress is a saint, and she deserves to be the most talented woman. With these four sentences, if all the scholars in our country can make it a goal, our country will be prosperous for thousands of years, just around the corner. . The empress said these four sentences, which will really benefit Daxia!"

As soon as this is said.
Everyone's eyes became even more disgusting.

How come these words of praise for the Empress, which were so good to the Queen, changed when they came from Yang Dang's mouth!
Su Changan rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "Master Yan, that's ridiculous. As I said, I was just lucky enough to write a few poems that were liked by everyone, and a story book that everyone liked. , I was even more moved, so I said these four sentences smoothly. I really can’t afford to be the most talented woman like Master Yan, let alone the so-called benefiting Daxia. After all, it’s just these four sentences. My words have not benefited Daxia. Mr. Yan is trying to flatter me."

Su Changan said with a smile.

But when Yan Jingqing heard the last sentence, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang was still sitting casually, but his eyes were also on him.

All four look at each other.

Yan Jingqing was shocked and immediately bowed his hands: "I don't dare, I just do."

Speaking of this, Yan Jingqing immediately changed his words: "I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me."

In that exchange of looks, Yan Jingqing felt the terror that Yang Guofu felt that day.

I feel even more that today is different from the past.

Su Changan smiled and said nothing, but looked at Yan Shu: "Is my answer okay? If you still want to ask why you study, I don't know what to say, because there is no answer to this question. , it’s just the four sentences I just said that are the ultimate goal of scholars, which is pretty much the same as cultivating one’s moral character, harmonizing one’s family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.”

"Besides, there are a thousand answers to the question of why you study. I just gave my answer. If Yan Shu wants to discuss it, you can tell us yours and let's discuss it together."

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The Queen's words to explain the confusion are thought-provoking, and"

Having said this, Yan Shu thought for a while and then said: "Student feels that the four sentences the empress just said can be described as the belief of our generation of scholars."

Having said this, Yan Shu bowed deeply.

After straightening up, Yan Shu said, "The student has no other questions."

Su Changan smiled and saluted Yan Shu in return.

Everyone looked at Su Changan.

Each one thought carefully about what Su Changan just said.

Especially those people who have a thousand answers, it makes people feel inexplicably fond of Su Changan, because there is no pretense in his words, especially Su Changan's beautiful smile, which is really disgusting. Can't get up.

Looking at Su Changan now, they are so polite to a poor student, which makes me even more admiring.

Especially the women, looking at Su Changan, all looked slightly red.

Just because although she knew that Su Changan was a woman, she was wearing men's clothes at the moment, which was particularly eye-catching. In comparison, of course there were many handsome and talented people around her.

But I don’t know why, when the empress puts on this men’s clothing, she looks like an immortal, dazzling and powerful, and making people yearn for her.

Just looking at it like this, I feel like the little deer is bumping around, and I have a lot of thoughts.

With Yan Shu as the person who made the beginning.

But all the students looked at each other, and many of them were eager to give it a try.

Su Changan turned to look at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang's face was naturally proud.

However, Su Changan saw Xia Fengxiang's hands retracted in his clothes, frowned slightly, and walked up to Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't speak yet.

Su Changan picked up Xia Fengxiang's hand, rubbed it, and put his wife's cold hands against his face, then brought them to his mouth and breathed.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan's actions and looked at the people below with a surprised look on his face.

Originally, everyone's eyes were on Su Changan.

This.
Of course, everyone can see it clearly.

so.
Swish!
No matter how determined Xia Fengxiang is, it is inevitable that two blushes will appear on his face when so many people look at him.

He even planned to break away.

But she didn't need to do anything. Su Changan let go of her hand, but he didn't care about the looks. He took off his coat and covered Xia Fengxiang.

After that, he sat next to Xia Fengxiang and held Xia Fengxiang's hands again. After rubbing them, he found that they were still a little cold. He thought that this stinky girl's hands had always been like this, so why not get some gloves.

Thinking of this, Su Changan brought Xia Fengxiang's hand to his mouth in full view of everyone, breathed again, kissed it by the way, and continued to cover his hand.

Then, he looked at everyone below with a smile and said: "Do you have any questions, or if you just wrote poems and articles as mentioned, you can continue."
