"The Master said: At ten I was determined to learn; at thirty I was established; at forty I was not confused; at fifty I understood the destiny of heaven; at sixty I was obedient; at seventy I followed my heart's desires without exceeding the rules."
"The meaning is that at the age of fifteen, one has the ambition to learn, at the age of thirty, he can stand on the world, at the age of forty, he can not be deceived, at fifty, he can understand the destiny, at the age of sixty, he can listen calmly to all kinds of opinions, at the age of seventy, he can do whatever he wants, and Don’t go beyond the rules.”
"Having said that, numbers are just blurry references. Abandoning numbers and pointing directly to the purpose, we should gain the ability to stand on the world through learning, calmly understand the world, and not be confused by the appearance. By reading People understand the world and understand what destiny is. From people's mouths, they constantly learn information, and cannot rest on their laurels because of their achievements. Ultimately, through such practice, you can achieve freedom as you wish without violating morals and rules. "Feng Linwen is standing on the podium now, lecturing to the students around him.
Not only students from the original academy, but also students from many other academies who had heard of his reputation came to attend the lecture.
Unlike many teachers who are jerky in their lectures and half-confused themselves.
Feng Linyi's lectures were not only vivid, but also extremely easy to understand. He also used various vivid metaphors, which made the whole class burst into laughter.
Although it seems that the rules are a little messed up.
But fortunately, this world does not have the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Although there is etiquette and law, it is not that outdated.
The academic atmosphere is relatively open.
There were only students around who were listening to the class. Some teachers who were giving lectures also nodded their heads. Then they looked at Feng Linyi's bald head and couldn't help but sigh.
Secretly, many people have also approached Feng Linyi to persuade him to return to secular life.
He also said that he had certain connections in the official circles and could help with the matter.
Obviously they didn't know Feng Linwen's status in Buddhism at this time and the special nature of Xuankong Temple.
For Xuankong Temple, Feng Linmo can die, but he cannot return to secular life.
For Buddhism, the 'Holy Monk' is the new benchmark. If he returns to secular life... his faith will collapse.
On this side, Feng Linwen was once again building momentum.
On the other side, the Censor, the Prime Minister, and many important officials in the court were urgently summoned to the palace by Emperor Jingguo overnight.
The old emperor was old and frail, and his time was running out, so there was nothing he could do.
This world has extremely strict restrictions on human lifespan.
Sixth-level monks in other worlds already have the ability to live forever, but in this world, the maximum lifespan is only a thousand years.
Level 6 is as easy as speaking, but in fact, only a handful of hundreds of millions of people can reach this level.
Naturally, the elixirs used to prolong life in this world have extremely limited effects.
Emperor Jingguo was rich all over the world, but when his oil was about to run out, there was nothing he could do about it.
At this time, facing several of his closest ministers, the old emperor expressed his thoughts.
"I have a son in middle age, and now the prince is still young, so he is inevitably young and energetic. And my brothers are not easy people. I am afraid that they will provoke the prince to make mistakes, and then take the opportunity to raise troops. I wonder if you have any ideas. , can help me get rid of this heartache." In this world, there is no First Emperor Yingzheng, so naturally there will be no regulations that the emperor needs to call himself 'I'.
Although Jingguo was the center of the continent and the most powerful empire, it adopted a feudal system like the Han Dynasty.
The power of the vassal kings in various places was huge, and the old emperor could only find a balance after all his efforts.
If the old emperor dies and the new emperor's succession is slightly unstable, he may be exploited and risk overthrow.
Several important ministers around him looked at each other in confusion.
The feudal king's troubles have been going on for a long time. If it were so easy to solve, why would there be any hesitation to this day?
Suddenly Master Shi came out of the crowd and said to the old emperor: "I heard a little story recently, saying that there was a wealthy businessman in the west of the city who gave birth to many sons. He treated every son equally and divided the family property equally before his death. , so that every son can live a good life in the future. But later, when the wealthy businessman died, almost all his sons ruined the family business, and the entire family also declined. "
Hearing this, the old emperor suddenly became thoughtful, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Mr. Shi and said: "Ai Qing has such a good plan, why didn't you tell me earlier? You have to wait until today... I have missed you!"
Master Shi hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This story was not created by me, but... it was told by a young monk. It is also because I care a little more about this monk that I collect it every day." I just learned the news.”
"Monk?" The old emperor was stunned and hesitated a little.
Politics and religion have unclear origins and are wary of each other.
"Where did the monk come from?" the old emperor asked.
Mr. Shi said: "I heard that he is a monk from the Xuankong Temple, but... his origin is a bit special. In Buddhism, he is revered as a holy monk, but there seems to be some filth between him and the Xuankong Temple."
Out of some thoughts, Mr. Shi did not directly mention Feng Linyi's other life experience at this time.
You must know that among the three righteous paths in the world, the Jingyang Palace, headed by Jingyang Palace, has an inextricable relationship with the Jingguo royal family.
According to legend, the first palace owner of Jingyang Palace was also the founding emperor of Jingguo.
"A monk from the Xuankong Temple?" The old emperor hesitated, but finally said: "Issuing an edict! Summon this monk to the palace for an audience."
After the edict was issued, the angel entered the small academy and conveyed the decree.
Feng Linye received the imperial edict, but did not immediately wash up and go with him. Instead, he looked at the imperial edict and then said to the person who delivered the edict: "Your Majesty summoned the monk Yifan, and now I am the scholar Yifan. Your Majesty What does summoning the monk Yifan have to do with me, the scholar Yifan?"
In this way, the angel was sent away and continued to attend classes and teach in the academy.
When the angel sent the news back, the old emperor heard Feng Linyi's reply. He looked embarrassed at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
His complexion, which was originally pale due to overwork and illness, has gained a little more rosiness.
"Your Majesty! That little monk didn't understand etiquette and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me." For the sake of the little monk saving his wife and a pair of children, Mr. Shi still stood up and said a word for Feng Linyi. , but that’s not ungrateful.
But the old emperor smiled and said: "My dear! Please get up! That Yifan is very interesting, I am not angry at all."
After pondering again and again, the old emperor said: "Hand on! Everyone, please follow me to the Qingquan Mountain Minglu Academy."
Many ministers looked at each other in confusion and did not understand.
Why did the young monk make the old emperor so happy despite clearly refuting his reputation?
Only a handful of veterans, experienced and cunning, thought about the whole thing for a while, and then smiled mysteriously.
In this way, under the leadership of the old emperor, a group of thousands of people walked along the Changyang Gate, straight out of the imperial city, and then headed towards Minglu Academy in Qingquan Mountain to find Lin Ming.
