How should one live?

And in what way should I die?

Everyone, to a greater or lesser extent, has explored the meaning of this life.

However, every civilization, every class, and every person has a different understanding of the meaning and meaning of this life.

There are people who are born as servants of God and want to return to heaven after death.

There are those who try to live forever, and the flesh is immortal.

Some people yearn for wealth and are willing to be buried under the golden coffin.

However, there was a group of people who worshipped their ancestors.

They recorded the deeds of their ancestors one by one and passed them on from generation to generation, so this became 'history' and 'learning'.

Every character in 'history' has become a 'saint' and a 'sage'.

The essence of the so-called learning is the learning of the sages.

They exalted the way of the sages as the most noble knowledge in the world.

Unfortunately, this has created countless rotten people.

It should not be like this, pedantic people learn to make learning rot.

But in this science, there is an ultimate secret code, which has been imprinted in the bones of every schoolchild since scholars began to learn to speak and memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text".

Perhaps a lot of people

I have forgotten the reverence for sages in my childhood.

Or in the process of chasing fame and fortune, he gradually forgot the deeds of those heroes and Confucians, but in the depths of his heart, starting from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to the Duke of Zhou, then to Confucius and Mencius, to Dou Yujun, to Ban Chao, Zhang Qian, to Zu Qi, Heng Wen, Xie An, and even the deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, they will be awakened at any time.

So, if you want to answer this question, for Confucians, they are probably virtuous in life and holy in death.

Settle the world, make great contributions, and build great careers for those who are virtuous.

Open the study of eternity, preach sacred learning, and extend the reputation of the Quartet as holy.

It's something that doesn't change in the bones.

It is the ultimate goal pursued by all readers, if it can be born from this, it will be great! If you can die because of this, you will have no regrets!

Under this ultimate goal, there is no difference in the essence of science or new science, and the only difference between them is that they have different paths towards the goal.

The way of Confucius and Mencius is the way to transcendent sanctification, but some people have worn out their ambition halfway, have gradually returned to mediocrity, and have slowly become slaves of lustful dogs and horses.

Tears flowed down from the corners of Liu Jie's eyes, and he hid on the sofa, whimpering and crying like a child.

The journal in his hand was already soaked with tears.

In this journal, the words seemed to be whipping his heart, calling in his ears again and again: "Do you still remember your pure self at the beginning, and do you remember the young man who swore to be a hero?" ”

He's not a teenager anymore.

He has reached the age of his establishment.

At this moment, he is like a young man, unable to contain his silent crying.

Look at yourself now, burying your head in the case, copying and writing, and being complacent about becoming Hanlin; Rising to the top, he thinks he has surpassed all his peers and has a bright future; At the beginning, the fencing and riding archery methods that were still learned in the academy are now becoming more and more unfamiliar because of the busy official business; What I think about every day is the exchange of human affection and the intrigue in the sea of eunuchs; When I opened my eyes, I was thinking about how to end beautifully for an unfinished article; When you close your eyes, you think about the length of your home where your wife is nagging in her ear.

But...... What was your ambition in the first place?

Now, the flesh is revived, where is there still the past?

With his eyes closed, he couldn't contain the majesty of his tears.

So Liu Jie clenched his fists, and in the end, tore the journal to pieces.

Liu Fu ...... It's here.

The comfort of a new house can make even the most picky person unable to pick a thorn.

Liu Jie entered the house and saw the light in the study, and he knew that his father was also on duty.

So, as usual, he rushed to the study first.

Sure enough, my father was quietly reading a book here.

Liu Jie's eyes were slightly swollen, but the tears had long since disappeared, the sky outside was dim, and the candle flame in the study shone on his face, leaving a dim yellow, covering up many expressions on his face.

"I've seen my father." Liu Jie has always maintained restraint in front of this loving father.

Liu Jian put down the book, he nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes were full of relief.

Liu Jian is very satisfied with his current life.

He is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and his son is also on the rise, which is a fame that many people can't envy.

He loves this life and is proud of it.

"You don't have a good complexion?" Liu Jian said with a smile.

"Maybe I've been a little tired lately." Liu Jie replied blandly.

Liu Jian said: "You are still young, you need to know the truth that you can stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”

"Yes." Liu Jie replied, "The son obeys his father's teachings. ”

"You're just too generous." Liu Jian saw Liu Jie pursing his lips, smiled, and when he saw his son by his side, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and wanted to say something heart-wrenching: "Sometimes, the old man is thinking, if you have a bit of your master's intelligence, you can really rest assured as a father, and your career is sinister." ”

"Father." Liu Jie turned a deaf ear to this, and suddenly his eyes turned red again, and he wanted to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he tried his best to hold back again.

Liu Jian continued to smile and said: "Look, you are here again, you mentioned your master, you have to be anxious with the old man, the old man didn't slander him today, hey, ordinary people say that girls are extroverted, but in our Liu family, men also turn their elbows outward." ”

Liu Jian hurriedly relieved: "Okay, okay, admit for my father, without your master, how could you be where you are today, he has the grace of reinvention with you, this point, my father doesn't say it on weekdays, but in my heart, I remember that our Liu family is not a heartless and ungrateful person." Therefore, you have to remember this kindness and always keep it in your heart, and the old man, by his favor, your heart ...... It's also very hot, looking for some days, the old man will go to his house in person......"

Liu Jian seemed very happy, and he came to visit, and this feeling could not be unfamiliar.

Although doing so may cause some Qingliu to question, but I, Liu Jian, have been in the cabinet for more than ten years, and I still care about this?

I know how to repay it.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that Liu Jie was silent for a long time, Liu Jian realized Liu Jie's abnormality.

Liu Jie shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my father mentioned Shigong, and he was a little sentimental." ”

Liu Jian was happy, he could understand the feelings of his son, and like himself, he was a sentimental person.

He changed the subject: "Come, tell you something interesting, have you read the front page of the journal?" That article of the expedition to the west to fight against the rebellion is really brilliant, it must not be your master's writing, that pen is as sharp as a knife, but it is very much like your mentor, that Wang Bo'an, haha...... But come to think of it, this is still your master's idea, your master's guy, you can really plan to plate, oh, his father is going to conquer the West, he began to agitate around, I wish the whole world would follow his father to the Golden Continent, you see, how powerful this guy is preaching, what preaching the world, what Han and thief are incompatible, the holy witch does not share the sky, what meritorious service, what speech, what extraordinary, what sanctification. Look at his thoughts, black, really black, scholars are also people, seeking fame, what do you rely on, after all, it is still the imperial examination, but the article makes people lift a three-foot sword, sail thousands of miles, and travel west with a sword, you say, the person who said this, is he still a human? Oh, he held his head by himself, hiding in the arms of Her Royal Highness the Princess, saying that his head hurts, but he fooled the hot-blooded scholar, ah...... Don't always keep a tight face, my father didn't mean to slander your master, it's just a joke, as soon as the journal came out, there were all the ministers in the cabinet and the ministers of various ministries, and their mouths were all smiling, and who didn't know what he was thinking. ”

Liu Jie was still silent and did not say a word.

"It's just to deceive some scholars who don't know the world, this scholar went to the Golden Continent, what's the use, preaching to the Quartet, it's easy to say, how difficult it is..."

"Father, I'm feeling unwell." Liu Jie finally opened his mouth.

Liu Jian had no choice but to say: "In this way, I'm confused for my father, okay, you should go and rest earlier."

"Yes."

Liu Zhuozhuo turned, walked towards the darkness outside the study, and his body gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Looking at the back of the leaving, Liu Jian shook his head, thinking about this son who was not smiling and kept his face tight every day. Immediately, he smiled again, took the "Quest Journal" on the desk, lowered his head, and read it softly, the more he read, the more he felt that Fang Jifan's intentions were deep, this guy would pit many poor talents, but fortunately, all people of insight would not be deceived by him.

………………

Kuaima has sent his order to Guiyang.

Pingxi Hou Fang Jinglong received the order, and the subordinate officials in Pingxi Hou Xingyuan were in an uproar.

It is said that the intention of going out to sea and opening up the territory to the west has been conveyed to various guard posts.

The soldiers of the guards cheered endlessly.

Even though a person leaves his homeland, he is like a fallen leaf.

But the military families really can't live.

The deeds of those sailors and sailors who went to sea have long become legends one after another, and they have been praised among military households, and how many people have longed in their hearts to be like them, and once they have made a fortune and become a human being.

But for Pingxi Hou, this is nothing less than a catastrophe, Pingxi Hou Town Guizhou, is already unspeakably expensive, why take this risk, go to that thousands of miles away, if there is something good on this road, but lose your life, it is better to be in Guiyang, enjoy endless wealth.

Fang Jinglong thanked for the grace, held the holy decree in his hand, exhaled a breath, and then said: "Please return to Your Majesty, the ministers pack their bags, and they will enter Beijing as soon as possible, and go to sea at any time." ”

His eyes were blazing, and his words were categorical, and there was no room for bargaining.
