Yu Yue took a breath of air and widened his eyes: "Abandon the Buddha and follow the Tao? What do you mean?"
The black robe put away his smile and said sternly: "Relying on Taoism, Lao Zhuang's method, what Taoism is natural, governing by doing nothing, and doing whatever you want, there is no way to compete with Liu Yu, just like your noble family can't compete with you now." The competition between the Beifu Army Group is the same, do you think it’s just a matter of fighting?”
Yu Yue said unconvinced: "Liu Yu emphasized Confucianism and did not talk about metaphysics. But this Confucian way has also been suppressed by metaphysics for more than a hundred years? All kinds of Confucian theories have given us a way of overcoming criticism through simple talk. You How can I agree that our theory and scholarship are inferior to Liu Yu's?"
The black robe sighed: "Yu Gong, Yu Gong, if you have this understanding, then I must say that this family and the world are in danger! Although Liu Yu is flying the banner of loyalty and filial piety, he fundamentally , not only opposes the noble family, but also opposes the emperor. What he wants to establish is a world where there is no difference and everyone is equal. What he wants is the lowest, grassroots people who don’t even have a name or identity, may be like him. , embarking on the road to control the world! This person who controls the world does not necessarily need to be an emperor!"
Yu Yue was so shocked that he slumped down to the ground: "How, how is this possible? How can the world be without a king for a day? Isn't he messing around? Besides, he has never said such a thing, or even expressed such a meaning Huh? He keeps saying that he wants to be a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, wants our family, and ordinary people and soldiers to be loyal to the country. This is your own imagination, it cannot be what Liu Yu meant."
Heipao shook his head: "Believe me, the person who understands Liu Yu best in the world is probably me, except Liu Muzhi. My predecessor didn't really understand Liu Yu's thoughts until he died. It's a pity that this has already happened." It's too late. The country Liu Yu talks about is the country of the people of the world, not the country of Emperor Sima. This Jin Dynasty is to allow every ordinary person and every lowly guy to have the same equality as the children of your family. With his own personality and dignity, he will have the opportunity to become a person with great power in the world, instead of being your domestic slave and banker from generation to generation."
"Look at Liu Yu. Everywhere he conquered, he had to liberate the local farmers and tenants and redistribute land to them. In this way, the benefits received by these people have nothing to do with the family, but only the country. If he wants to establish Personal favors, and becoming the emperor himself is another matter, but if he really does what he says, he does not pass it on to his descendants, or even retires after his achievements, has no love for power, and restores the ancient system of abdication and meritocracy, Yu Sir, do you think this world still needs an emperor in the future? Does it still need to be passed down from generation to generation?"
Yu Yue's forehead began to sweat, he bit his lip and said nothing.
The black robe's eyes flashed coldly, and he spoke faster: "In this world, it's not just imperial power that makes people obsessed with it. It's not just the power of this life that makes people yearn for it. Some people pursue something more interesting than the power of the world. , for example, our Tiandao League can make Murong Chui not even want to be emperor, then there is something better than imperial power. Another example is Confucius, Laozi and other ancient sages. Although they have never been emperors or kings, they Their reputation lasts for eternity, and the doctrines and systems they established last longer than any other dynasty. Do you dare to say that Liu Yu is not such a person?"
Yu Yue gritted his teeth and murmured: "What you said may make sense. Maybe Liu Yu really wanted to do something we can't imagine. Just like the Northern Expedition, no one really wanted to do it for a hundred years, only Liu Yu He did it. He has always said that he will be loyal to the Jin Dynasty and regain the lost land for the country, the people, and his descendants. It seems that he is really not just talking about it. If he wants to be famous in history and be famous throughout the ages, then the end of the family, or even It is not impossible to end the emperor and do what Huo Guang and Yi Yin did."
The black robe sneered: "You finally understand this. For you Black Hand Qiankun, the emperor has always been just a cover. Since the founding of the country in Nandu, you have turned the emperor of the Sima clan into a puppet. He has no power and no soldiers. I can be at your mercy, so in terms of theoretical doctrines, I engage in metaphysics and Taoist cultivation to make myself transcendent of all things and the world. In essence, I tell the emperors of the past that I am the son of destiny, the dragon. Raising phoenix babies is extremely precious, which means the same thing. That is to say, you are not mortals, you are noble people, pure people, people who have escaped from low-level tastes. In other words, you are immortals, at least half immortals. So you are qualified. Rule and govern these lowly people forever, this is a blessing to them!"
Yu Yue's head was already covered with sweat, and even his clothes and armor began to get wet in large parts. He stared at the black robe motionless: "You know us too well, yes, we are indeed pretending to be like this." From behavior, to demeanor, and even to language, we must show that we are superior to others. When I was educated since I was a child, I was told that I was not the same kind of person as the tenant farmers in our family. I regarded them as able to talk. As long as they have livestock, although they cannot be killed casually, they can be bought, sold, and reprimanded, because their land and property are all dependent on us, and their wives, children, and children have to be fed by us. It is our management and gifts that allow them to survive. They must Be grateful to us, and then farm and produce for us for generations to come in return!”
The black robe laughed: "But you now know that all these are just lies. You are just like those lowly farmers, tenants, and bankers. You are not gods, but mortals. Just like you Now like this, if you are anxious or panicked, you will still sweat and your whole body will be soaked. Your sweat is not some perfume or sweet liquid that makes people intoxicated. It is still the same as the smelly sweat of ordinary farmers when they are plowing the fields. It smells so good. Of course, if you hadn't been in a bad situation in the military recently and didn't have so much delicious food, maybe the smell of your sweat would have smelled more of seafood, fish and shrimp."
Yu Yue said bitterly: "I see that you are not an immortal emperor, you are just a mortal. Your sweat also stinks, no better than your men!"
The black robe put away his smile and nodded: "You are right, we are all mortals, but we can control so many people, use them for us, and be driven by us, not because we are really gods or immortals, but because Because we control power, land, and resources, we can make these people dependent on us, and force them to obey us through the laws of the country or the canons of Tianshi Tao, that's all."
Yu Yue sighed: "But now, Liu Yu wants to break and change these rules. Before breaking, he has convinced these grassroots people that we are the same mortals as them, right."
