The Huanlong family returned to Lushan in Wei State and stood on the top of the mountains. The red sun rises from the east and prints red clouds on the horizon. Mr. Huanlong stretched out his hand, and the little ant crawled out from his hand, kowtowed and said, "Sir." Mrs. Huanlong said, "Xiaoyi, you can go down the mountain." But the little ant was reluctant to leave Mr. Huanlong, and the little ant said : "Sir led me to the Tao, and Little Ant has not yet had time to repay the teacher." Huanlong said: "You have enlightened the Tao, and I have nothing to teach you. You should go and realize your ambition. Come on." Xiao Yi stood up, looked up at Mr. Huan Long who was standing in front of him, and said: "Sir, please accept the bow from Xiao Yi." Then he knelt down and bowed and said: "Sir, please accept the bow from the disciple." Huo Long Shi nodded and said: "Okay, you can go." Xiao Yi stood up and took a few steps back. After a long time, he turned around and went down Mount Lu.
In the territory of Wei State, first find a post station to stay. Xiao Yi walked into the post house. The waiter of the inn came forward and said, "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Yi stood at the door of the store and said, "Yes, I will stay in the hotel." The waiter introduced him: "I have a room and a hotel here. Lower room, would you like to live in the upper room or the lower room?" Xiao Yi replied: "Just arrange an upper room for me." The waiter invited Xiao Yi in and said, "Sir, please settle the bill in front of the counter. ." Xiao Yi walked to the counter and settled the bill, then casually found a seat to sit down. There are swordsmen, business travelers and lobbyists from various vassal states here, making it a mixed place. The lobbyists sat together and discussed the situation of the world.
The Warring States Period was an era when hundreds of schools of thought contended, and it was also the era when culture was most active. The little ants just listened quietly without saying a word. First, listen to what they said? What do you want to express? It can be said that they are all well-educated people. It was when they came to prominence that a debate conference began in this post house. Scholar A said: "In today's situation, only Qin is the strongest, and other vassal states are afraid of Qin and serve Qin. Of course, other vassal states have implemented reforms, but they have all failed. Only Qin is the most successful, and governance should focus on it. Only then can we control the chaos." Scholar B said: "Otherwise, Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. There are many harsh laws and cruel laws, and the people suffer a lot. It will not last long if you can't get the heart of the worm. Of course, the criminal law is very important. Those who have the worm's heart should be benevolent. , light punishment laws, and encourage farmers and mulberry trees, this is the foundation of a strong country." Scholar A retorted: "The Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the world was in chaos, etiquette collapsed, and music was ruined. The various vassal states were fighting for it. The strong meat and the weak food In this era, only a strong country and a strong army can be achieved. The king of Qin reused the law and seal, so that Qin is strong today. Those who can unify the world should belong to Qin." Scholar B retorted again: "The law and seal are cruel to the officials, and they do not respect the virtues and virtues of the previous kings. , was benevolent, but the law was applied to the queen. This is the reason why he died in Qin." Scholar A said: "Although the law chapter is dead, Qin's law is not dead." Scholar C could not sit still anymore and stepped forward. He sat down and said: "The way of heaven and earth is natural. Wind, rain, thunder, earth trembling and mountains shaking are all yin and yang. The changes in the four seasons are nothing more than spring, summer, autumn and winter. A king knows the changes of heaven and cannot go against them. Those who are fickle must obey heaven. The way is to follow the yin and yang, so that there is yang in the yin, and there is yin in the yang, just like the replacement of the sun and the moon, the rotation of day and night, and rule by doing nothing. The king can have neither talent nor virtue, but he can select talents and appoint them with power and use power. In control, the ministers can do their own thing, and the same is true in governing the country." Then he looked at the little ant sitting behind him and said, "I wonder what you can say to us, sir?" The little ant looked at them with a smile and said, "Good at words. , I am not as good as you. The Tao lies in walking more, seeing more, listening more, thinking more and speaking less. The Tao is in our hearts. The Tao lies in the people, and we can understand the sufferings of the people; the Tao lies in the court, for the king. The side is given by the king; the great road lies between heaven and earth. If the earth carries all things, it is the mother of pregnancy. The sky is the symbol of the four seasons, spring gives birth to winter and hides, which is the yin and yang of pregnancy; if the earth carries all things, the sky hangs down "Xiang, get wealth from the earth and get the law from the sky, so you use the monument to the sky to be close to the earth, so you can teach the people virtues." After the little ant finished speaking, he went upstairs, stood at the railing, and leaned against the railing. Soon, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the little ant looks up at the full moon in the sky. Therefore, a poet a thousand years later said:
I don't know the moon when I'm young, it looks like a white jade plate. I also suspected that the Yao Tai Mirror was flying in the blue clouds. The immortal has his legs hanging down, and the osmanthus tree is not round. The white rabbit made the medicine by pounding it. Who would he want to eat with? The toad has eroded its round shadow, and the bright night has faded away. Yi Xi fell into the Nine Crows, and heaven and man were clear and peaceful. The essence and yin are so confused that it is not enough to see if they go away. What's wrong with it? The sadness is heartbreaking.
The country is in chaos, and who knows what worries you? The bright moon of the Great Zhou Dynasty is gone, but I am obsessed with the status quo all day long. On the night of the Ming Dynasty, the people gather less and leave more, and the sadness breaks their hearts. Yue is thinking about gambling. It has been away for more than 20 years. She misses her wife and her children, her parents. Its children should have grown into adults by now. It's rare that there's a moon, and I've been up all night because I'm going home tomorrow, so I'm tossing and turning. At dawn, he bought a carriage and horses from the store. After saying goodbye, he got into the carriage behind him and drove away, leaving Wei and entering South Korea.
At this time, the Qin army was attacking South Korea's Anmen. The two armies fought at Anmen. South Korea was defeated and sent the prince to Qin as a hostage in exchange for a short-term peace. Afterwards, in the Battle of the Land, the Battle of Gaoshang, and the Battle of Zhaozhuang, Qin killed millions of people from the three Jin Dynasties. Qin's military calamity, outside Hexi, Shangluo and Sanchuan, accounted for half of the three Jin Dynasties. This is Qin's distant relations and close attacks, and the strength of Han and Wei was weakened. The little ant got down and stood in front of the carriage and looked away. The mountain of corpses was like a sea, which made it sad. Smoke billowed, fire burned the battle flags, damaged chariots were scattered in the wilderness, or corpses were piled up, black smoke filled the setting sun, and the blood-red sky. The little ant looked at the scattered corpses and said sadly and angrily: "Barbarian Qin, barbarian Qin. Eliminate the war and the people live in peace. Only the world can be unified. The people have been longing for unification for a long time."
When Xiao Yi returned to Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him and looked away from a distance. Xiao Yi's carriage appeared between two mountains, stopped, stepped out of the carriage, looked towards the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, stepped forward to greet him, stretched out his hands and knelt down to bow. Little Yi, this is three steps and one bow. Emperor Zhou stepped forward and said, "Sir, please get up." Xiao Yi knelt down and bowed down, saying, "Xiao Yi cannot accept the emperor's demotion, please ask the emperor to return to the city." The attendants around Emperor Zhou stepped forward. , said: "Sir, these are the old rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, sir, you don't have to abide by them." The little ant said: "The Duke of Zhou established the Zhou rites. This is the foundation of my great Zhou Dynasty. How can I give up?" The Emperor of Zhou had no choice but to ascend the tower. Little Ant stepped forward, kowtowed, looked up at the tower, and shouted: "Emperor." The Emperor of Zhou stood on the tower and said, "Sir, please stand down." All civil and military officials kowtowed. After saluting, Xiao Yi returned the salute to them and drove into Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty.
After Xiao Yi returned to Zhoudu, the first thing he wanted to do was go home and see his wife and children. The eldest princess stood in front of the house and looked away. Xiao Yi stood at the door of her house, kowtowed and said, "Eldest Princess." The eldest princess returned the greeting, looked at Xiao Yi excitedly, and said, "Husband, you are finally back. My husband has been gone for more than twenty years." Xiao Yi said: "The eldest princess has suffered, Xiao Yi is back." The eldest princess smiled and said: "It's good to be back, come into the house quickly." Xiao Yi greeted They came forward and helped each other into the house. Little Yi asked: "Why don't you see Li'er?" The eldest princess said: "Li'er and his uncle were going out early in the morning to train at the school." Little Yi said: "Our Carp is good at martial arts, maybe It was influenced by Zizheng." After Xiao Yi walked in and sat in front of several cases, the eldest princess sat aside and said: "Li'er has praised his uncle as a god since he was a child. When he grows up, he will lead troops like his uncle. ." Xiao Yi agreed and said: "Zi Zheng is upright and brave. He has protected me all the way. The uncle Li'er follows him is stronger than me." After saying that, the eldest princess entered the kitchen, presumably this At that time, Xiao Yi was also hungry, so he walked out and knelt in front of Xiao Yi, raised the case to the level of his eyebrows, and said: "Husband." Xiao Yi also knelt down and took it with his hands, and put it in front of him at the level of his eyebrows. The eldest princess raised the corner of her mouth and said: "This is the rice grown by my family. Husband, I want to taste it." Little Yi looked at the eldest princess and said: "The eldest princess planted it, so I will naturally taste it." Take a sip. , said: "The people are still suffering from the war. I wonder when it will end?" Xiao Yi looked at the bowl of porridge and began to worry about the country and the people again.
Zhao Li was a major general personally appointed by Emperor Zhou. He was dressed in military uniform and stood on the school field to start training. Zizheng stepped forward and said, "Li'er, your father is back." Zhao Li turned around and asked, "Uncle, they are all saying that my father is a great insect saint. My father has left us since I was born. It has been more than twenty years and I still don’t know what my father looks like?” Zizheng smiled and said, “Wouldn’t you know it when you go back and see him?”
These disciples of Xiao Yi served as officials of rituals, music, and sacrifices in the Zhou capital. Only Zizheng was highly regarded by the emperor of Zhou and became the prime minister of the Zhou capital, where he was responsible for political affairs. Zizheng was courageous, upright, versatile, filial to family members, straightforward, brave, kept his promises, loyal to his duties, often upheld justice, asked for orders for the people, did not bully the young and weak, and was deeply supported by the people. Zizheng personally drove Zhao Li back home.
At this time, all the disciples of Xiao Yi gathered in Xiao Yi's home, knelt down in front of Xiao Yi, and bowed: "Sir." Xiao Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are all here, come, come, you all Please all sit down." Its disciples sat on both sides and said: "Sir, please sit down too." The little ant turned around, his smile was so kind, and said: "Okay, okay." Then he sat down at the table. Before, he said: "In order to come to see me, you must not neglect state affairs. State affairs are the most important thing and you cannot leave your post without permission." A disciple said: "Sir, please rest assured that we have made a good handover and have received your majesty's permission." ." Xiao Yi then felt relieved and said, "That's good, that's good." Then he looked outside the door of the mansion. He hadn't seen his son for more than 20 years, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time. Outside the gate of the mansion, Zhao Li's voice came, calling: "Father." Xiao Yi stood up and walked out, followed by his disciples, saying: "Li'er." Zhao Li called: "Father, father. "He rushed forward and knelt in front of Xiao Yi, looking up and said: "Father." Xiao Yi helped him up and said: "Li'er, get up quickly." Zi Zheng was stunned on the spot and said: "Sir." Xiao Yi walked away He looked up and said, "Zizheng, you're here too." With tears in his eyes, Zizheng knelt in front of Xiao Yi and said, "Sir, we all miss you." Xiao Yi helped him up and said, " Zizheng, get up quickly." Zizheng looked at Xiao Yi and said: "Sir, you are getting old." Xiao Yi smiled and said: "How can insects never grow old? You see you are very old. With a He sheds tears like a child, is he shy?" Zi Zheng wiped away the tears on both sides and said, "I miss you, sir." The little ant said, "Let's all go in." Then he walked with his disciples Come in and sit on both sides.
Zi Zheng sat aside and asked: "Sir, you traveled far this time to look for the Cuanlong family. Have you found it?" Little Ant smiled and said, "I have found it. I will worship the Cuanlong family as my teacher and teach me the Tao." The other disciples Asked: "What kind of person is Mr. Huan Long?" The little ant replied: "The ancient teacher Confucius once commented on Lao Tzu, I know birds are good at flying; fish, I know they are good at swimming; beasts, I know It is good at running. For birds, you can shoot it with arrows; for fish, you can use a net to catch it; for beasts, you can use a trap to capture it. As for the dragon in the sky, I don’t know its shape, nor how it flies on the wind. Above the nine heavens, I may be a dragon. The Dragon Master I saw flew above the nine heavens on a dragon, exploring the sky. Its Tao is both tangible and invisible, and our Tao is at our feet. It lies between heaven and earth, containing the vastness of all things. It is the same as the earth, the same as water, and the best is like water." The disciples all kowtowed and said, "We follow the teacher's teachings closely." The little ant looked at them and said, "You were born as officials. The people of the world are responsible for their own responsibilities and never forget their duties. This is how you should be an official."
