This topic successfully aroused Jiajing's interest, and he forgot his dissatisfaction for a moment. He looked at Xiao Feng and expressed that he really wanted to know.
"Master said that the Tao was passed on to me. Whether I want to establish a sect or not is up to me. I have already thought about it. The Tao I taught for Master is called the Tao of entering the world."
Jiajing was slightly startled: "The way to join the world?"
"Yes, Taoists are monks, but what is a monk? Because you have a family, you can become a monk. If you don't have a family, how can you become a monk? A family is a small country, and a country is everyone. If you become a monk, you still have a country, and only when you have a country, you have a family. Those millions A small family is the foundation of the Taoist sect! It is the constant source of living water for the Taoist sect for thousands of years! If you don’t protect the country, it will be difficult to protect the family. Only when the country is prosperous and the family is prosperous can the Taoist sect be prosperous!"
This talk about family and country, especially the fact that one can become a monk only if one has a family, directly excited Jiajing. He had heard this statement before linking family, country and the prosperity of Taoism. But it has never been said so thoroughly and clearly.
Yan Song said lightly: "Didn't you say that you have to stop studying outside the home?"
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "When you become a monk and give up your thoughts, you give up the evil thoughts, but you must keep the good thoughts. If the gods have no thoughts, why do they use saving people to preach? Can't killing people also force people to believe?" This statement is well-founded. Yes, the true establishment of the Taoist sect actually started by giving people food and medical treatment.
Yan Song followed up: "What does this have to do with you opening a grain store, and what does it have to do with you not wearing robes?"
"I don't wear Taoist robes because my master didn't wear one. He created writing not for Taoists, but for all living beings in the world. Anyone can learn and use writing. So my Tao is the way to enter the world. To enter the world, We must be like the light and dust and blend into the world. We must personally experience the suffering and joy of the world. Only by doing the things of the world can we understand the heart of the world. If we don't know the heart of the world, how can we stop thinking about the world?"
If you don’t know the human heart of the world, how can you end your mortal years? This sentence was immediately remembered by Jiajing. In Jiajing's view, he has been practicing Taoism for more than thirty years in order to ascend, but why is there no sign of ascending?
He will definitely not think that he is not qualified and has no destiny. Anyone who dares to think so, if he takes a few steps, I will not blame him, I will kill him directly.
Since it is not a question of qualifications, it is a question of practice methods. He also considered the matter of ending his thoughts. Apart from having his neck strangled once and having a psychological shadow, he also considered not living in the palace so that he could not see his concubines and children so that it would be easier to break up the family relationship. But he is the emperor after all, and he still cannot ignore important national affairs, so he is not completely done with the world!
He also thought about simply giving up and not caring about anything. But he is not the kind of emperor who is stupid to the end. He knows that he has more treacherous ministers than loyal ministers, and it all depends on his own control. Therefore, Comrade Jiajing's dilemma lies in this point - he wants to practice Taoism and ascend, but he is not willing to be a complete fool and not care about anything. This kind of twisting force made the ministers very painful. In fact, he himself was also suffering.
But today Xiao Feng opened a new door for him! There is nothing wrong with being diligent, don’t delay your practice! Because only by working diligently can one know the human heart, and only by knowing the human heart can one put an end to the worldly thoughts! This truth is obvious. Cultivation is the process of fighting against dusty thoughts. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. If you don’t even know what earthly thoughts are, how can you defeat them?
Oh, it seems that I am indeed talented and intelligent, and I have been following the correct path of spiritual cultivation without knowing it.
This is human psychology. If a person has gone very far on a road, and you tell him that he is on the wrong road, he will not only be unhappy, but also angry, or even simply refuse to accept it. But if you tell him that you are on the right path, he will be very happy, even if he is actually on the wrong path.
So Jiajing was very happy now. He looked at Xiao Feng with a smile: "Junior brother's words make sense!"
Lu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, and now he could speak: "Long live, although Xiao Feng is related to Long live, there is no evidence for this matter. If it is made public, it will trigger discussions between the government and the public. I think that in public, Xiao Feng should still be the minister. Proper."
Yan Song was helpless. Lu Bing's words seemed to be suppressing Xiao Feng's momentum, but in fact they confirmed Xiao Feng's future in the court. Public occasions, where Jiajing can meet people in public, is the court meeting. If Xiao Feng can go to court, he must join the court as an official.
But he couldn't accuse Lu Bing of breaking the rules, because Lu Bing was suppressing Xiao Feng, not helping him.
Jiajing also thought it was reasonable: "Huang Ban, go back to the Daolu Department to get an ultimatum from Xiao Feng. With this ultimatum, you can go to court without kneeling. As for the rest, just follow what Lu Qing said."
Huang Jin bowed: "Please tell me what title Mr. Xiao should write on the ultimatum?"
Jiajing looked at Xiao Feng: "Did Immortal Master Cangjie ever give you a Taoist title?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "No."
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction. He liked giving people names the most.
"Then I will give you a name for my uncle. Let's call him Qingtong Wenxuan, or Wenxuan for short, okay?"
What's the good thing about this? Just give him a name. It saves a lot of trouble. Xiao Feng thanked him immediately.
Jiajing originally wanted to test another word and ask about the things he cared about, but Xiao Feng had already said that he could only test one word a day, so he could only endure it for now. He originally wanted to let Xiao Feng stay in Xiyuan for a while, but Xiao Feng insisted that the way of cultivating the world cannot be separated from the masses. It is different from the way of cultivating the Danding Qing Dynasty in Jiajing, and it is not suitable to live in a place with strong dragon energy.
After Xiao Feng and others left, Jiajing slowly closed his eyes: "Huang Ban, do you believe Xiao Feng's words?"
He would only ask Huang Jin about this, not even Lu Bing. Huang Jin's mind flashed with countless thoughts, and finally he shook his head: "I don't believe it all."
Jiajing smiled: "How can there be complete faith in the affairs of the world? It is very valuable to have even three points of credibility. His Taoism is true, even if everything else he said is false, what does it matter? He takes advantage of the fate of the country. "Cultivation of the Great Dao, if this is true, I can ascend to the eternal Saint King! Even if it is false, I will at least get one of them."
Huang Jin smiled: "Long live the Qingming in my heart."
After listening to his father's story, Yan Shifan frowned and said, "Does he really have this ability? This is an accident. I thought he was just a eloquent person who was good at justifying himself, but it seems that is not the case."
Yan Song was a little irritated: "This man is so bold that he deceived Wan Sui and his senior brothers to claim the title! If Wan Sui is fooled, he will definitely trust him in the future. You said that he has a grudge against my family. This is a big trouble!"
Yan Shifan unfolded his fan and took a few steps: "Long live is not that easy to deceive. I just want to see how accurate he is in word reading. I am just lucky, hoping to find another way to cultivate immortality. I don't really think of him as my junior brother. But my favor is. It is inevitable that unless he shows his flaws one day and loses all his miracles, his future will indeed be limitless."
He couldn't help but smile again: "There are no gods in this world. Even if he has magical powers, he can't call the wind and rain and spread the beans into soldiers. To put it bluntly, he is just the most powerful fortune teller. This is a matter for the court. , He is still young in matters of the world. It is only a matter of time to deal with him sooner or later."
Yan Song has always been very confident in his son's IQ, but what happened today really shocked him and made him have to be wary.
"Donglou, you have always said that this son has a grudge against my Yan family, but the status of our two families is very different, and the selection of a girl is an order of Long Live. What does it have to do with the Jin Yiwei? I usually don't take it seriously, but today I want to know what is going on. How did you get into a feud?"
Yan Shifan squinted his one eye, as if he was recalling something that made him unhappy.
"This matter has to start with the selection of a girl eight years ago..."
