Luo Ci is completely unable to see things anymore. He is now waiting for death to come, but he is not afraid, but is looking forward to it.
Luo Yan sat in front of the couch, taking care of his father's daily life. There were countless capable people in the Luo Kingdom. If there was no big event, Luo Hou was more like a spiritual leader.
"Chong'er must have come to a great realization after experiencing this setback." Luo Ci said softly: "Bangzhou has been around for five hundred years, and Chong'er is still young. With the Jin Kingdom here, within one hundred and fifty years, Bangzhou will have no worries about his destiny."
Luo Yan laughed when he heard this and said: "The ancestors said that the Yin and Shang Dynasties have a destiny of six hundred years, and the state of Zhou should be better than the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It seems that there is no problem."
…
"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but it is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, but it is not good."
Just after reading two sentences, Luo Yan's hands were already trembling with excitement, "Be born without having something, do without relying on it, and you will never live after you succeed. If you live without living, you will never leave."
People in the world know good because of the existence of evil. Isn't this the final conclusion on the theory of good and evil in human nature?
Father, which great sage wrote this article?
It’s really exquisite!
Such a great sage should be invited to the academy to serve as a sacrificial wine, or write a book for him to preserve these thoughts. "
"This person's name is Li Er, his courtesy name is Boyang, and his nickname is Lao Dan. He is the history of the royal family's treasury. He must bring fine clothes, gold and jade, carriages, horses and jewelry, but such a wise man must disdain these. Yes, if you bring the first volume of "The Way of Heaven" written by King Su, he will surely come."
"The Way of Heaven"!
Luo Ci was a little shocked. This volume was the most precious classic kept secret by the Luo Kingdom. It contained contradictory but unified thoughts.
This volume of classics gave Luo Guogong a flexible bottom line and the ability to view the world dialectically, and this is where He Zong Lian Heng came from.
But think about Li Er's theory of beauty and ugliness, and the theory of good and evil. He has already understood these by himself. Now if he is guided by "The Way of Heaven", he will definitely be able to achieve it.
…
The Duke of Luo's return to Luoyi was like returning to his own home. The first ruler of this city was not the Emperor of Zhou, but King Su after he returned to power.
During that period, the princes from Luoyi to the east first came to Luoyi to pay homage to King Su, and then went to Haojing to pay homage to King Kang. This was the so-called rule by dividing Shaanxi.
The Zhou royal family's collection room is the place with the second largest collection of books among the Zhou and Xia kingdoms. The largest collection of books is of course the Luo Kingdom's palace.
Countless bamboo slips were displayed on the shelves, and the atmosphere of history came to his face. Luo Yan walked into them alone.
Luo Yan met the great sage, Li Er.
When I saw him, he was carving something on the bamboo slips. He was wearing some old but extremely clean clothes, with his hair in a bun and a white beard. As if he heard the movement, Li Er raised his head and spoke to Luo Yan. Staring at each other.
He had a very ordinary face and a very calm expression. Luo Yan looked into his eyes. He had never seen such calm yet magnificent eyes.
At a glance, it is bottomless.
Luo Yan bowed slightly and said: "Mr. Boyang, Luo Yan has seen you face to face. He is happy and happy."
The stigmata between Luo Yan's eyebrows was so conspicuous that Li Er knew who he was without any introduction.
"Luo Guoguo's office? Prince Yan?"
"Exactly!"
"Please have a seat."
Few people would face Luo Guogong's office so calmly, and there was awe in their hearts.
"Mr. Boyang doesn't seem surprised?"
"It has been five hundred years since the Luo Kingdom collected classics from all over the world. Everyone knows that a few days ago, a friend of the Luo Kingdom took away a scroll of bamboo slips from me and said that he wanted to present it to the Marquis of Luo."
His tone was very calm, but the confidence in his words was beyond words. As long as they see my letter, someone from Luo Kingdom will definitely come.
He is not showing off, but taking it for granted.
Luo Yan smiled slightly, took out the bamboo slip of "The Way of Heaven" from his sleeve, pushed it towards Li Er, and said with a smile: "This was written by King Su five hundred years ago. Only the Duke of Luo Kingdom can study it. Now I invite you to take a look."
Hearing the name of King Su, Li Er's expression changed slightly. He picked up the bamboo slips and started reading. His expression was very special, a little relieved and a little doubtful, as if he had seen something incredible.
"The wisdom of King Su is as holy as heaven."
He spoke calmly, but his eyes were like thunder breaking through, as if there were countless turbulent waves.
He looked at the sacred mark between Luo Yan's eyebrows and said: "Prince, in my life, I have been sitting in the royal palace, reading books, and traveling around the world. I have seen many people and things, and there are only a few thousand words about them.
I believe that there is no one who understands the principles of this world better than me, but every time I pursue the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, I encounter obstacles from King Su.
I believe that heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. This is true for Xia and Shang Dynasties. However, King Su communicates with heaven and prefers Zhou people. This is also true.
I believe that the four seasons of heaven and earth have their own ways, and they will not change due to the rise and fall of human dynasties. This is true when I read history and observe the states.
But King Yi and Duke Xuan offered sacrifices to King Haotiansu, and the city of Haojing was covered with frost in June. This is not a lie.
There are too many of these, so I would like to ask the prince to help me clear up my doubts. "
He prostrated himself deeply, not to Luo Yan, but to King Su.
He wanted to know why the principles that could be applied to the world would be ineffective when applied to Su Wang. Why could Su Wang be in harmony with heaven but incompatible with human nature?
Is King Su really a god? Li Er didn't want to believe it, so he kept writing essays, trying to find a reason to explain King Su's miracles.
But the moment he saw Luo Yan, when he saw the shining stigmata, some of the persistence in his heart was broken.
He once found King Su's explanation of the noble bloodline among the old papers in the treasure room.
God allows the noble to rule the lowly, and the civilized to rule the barbaric. This is the principle of governance.
The so-called noble bloodline is a lie to make the world believe that the rule of the royal family and the nobility is natural. The feudal system and the patriarchal system all exist for this purpose.
But you can deceive others, but you cannot trust yourself, so you still have to strengthen your own strength and be ready to extinguish the fire of resistance at any time.
Li Er was convinced, and then he saw Luo Yan's stigmata. This stigmata was one of the reasons for Luo's transcendent status.
The royal family and the great clans of various countries all rely on the patriarchal system to maintain their status, but the Luo family does not need it. So what if you are stronger than the great clans?
King Su's stigmata will not fall on your forehead.
It has to be said that a person who sneers at bloodline theory has created the most noble bloodline is a humorous irony.
"Dare I ask King Su, is Haotian sentient?" Li Er asked with some trembling.
Li Er's words shocked Luo Yan. Countless people from all over Bangzhou believed that King Su was friends with Haotian in heaven, and that he protected Bangzhou's destiny.
However, most of the nobles were studying and could not get any response from the gods for a long time, so they had certain doubts about these gods and ghosts.
In front of Li Er, he could write "Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs", which shows that he believes that heaven has no emotions.
Then why does he think King Su is still there? And the tone is so determined?
There is a slight deification of Laozi, I hope you like it. Among all the schools of thought, Taoism is my favorite. Then I like the momentum of Mencius’s articles better, and I agree more with Xunzi’s views.
In the previous chapter, it was important to use troops quickly because they had to rush and enter the battlefield with full combat effectiveness, otherwise the Jin army would suffer heavy losses.
Regarding the title, the King of Chu is different. When he joined the royal family, he was the Marquis of Chu, and the Xia Dynasty also called him Marquis of Chu. However, the king of Chu and Qin called him the third person I described. The perspective also calls him king. When he calls himself, he uses the word "witness". This is the use of various contexts under the system of inner king and outer prince.
