Chapter 646 - Peace of mind
In the long run, loose political associations will fall in response to the situation, and powerful people such as princes and eunuchs, high-ranking military officers, and big businessmen will turn from allies to rebels overnight.
Therefore, the twelve brothers, who are the immediate family members of the fifth caliph, are far more united than the royal family of any regime.
Of course, this is only based on the premise that the situation is unstable, and once it is as politically stable as Datang and has rapid economic development, it will be another state.
Li Zhi also had a prescient sense of these, so he was able to give the best advice to Helier:
"As an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, it is also indispensable, with the current alliance between the two countries, in a certain aspect, it is still more important than the actual participation in government affairs!"
Eliham also figured out the reasoning, "Mr. Li thinks the eighth brother can get this position? ”
Li Zhi smiled, "King Merik is his own brother, I will mention this matter to the emperor again, the first city envoy of the current imperial court was established in Guangzhou, and the Arab Empire is one of the most important partners of the Tang Dynasty's overseas trade, so it is most suitable for me to propose it!" ”
Helier was overjoyed, not only Mansour, but almost all the guests from the Western Regions liked the city of Guangzhou, the temperature was moderate, just like the time of the year, and it was impossible to distinguish the difference between spring and winter.
And the trees are still verdant, the flowers are fighting, it is indeed a good home, and you don't have to worry about the cold and freezing in the northern winter.
The point is that the city's development is promising, prosperous and wealthy, and has everything.
What's more, the people here do not have much xenophobia, the degree of ethnic integration is very high, and the differences in estrangement are not obvious.
Hassan patted Heliya on the shoulder: "Actually, if it really happens, my sister-in-law will envy you very much, and I may consider moving here in the future." ”
In fact, Hassan's husband Mahdi is the second and Adan is the third, but because the eldest brother is the king of a country, it is also to distinguish and highlight the difference between the Merik emperors.
From the emperor's point of view, Mahdi's eldest brother has become the eldest, Adan is the second, and among the twelve brothers, the title of the twelfth uncle is missing.
"Guangzhou is only the first choice, if the eighth uncle has another favorite place, with my ability, it is not a problem to find a name to invite the empire!" Li Zhi further made a promise.
He didn't go deep like yesterday, and he can't say how many years later, the Abdul royal family will be overthrown, and you need to plan ahead.
Li Zhi knew in his heart that as long as Mansur set a precedent, other brothers would see the benefits, and as they grew older in the future, some people would naturally think about it.
He thinks that he can only do this step at most, and if he interferes more, he will be suspected of being involved in politics.
Zhemani also said to Hai Liye with envy: "Hai Liye, this time you can't say that you are not blessed, Mansour's trip to the Tang Dynasty has changed a lot, it seems that the rumored Dongfeng Shui of the East soil is indeed true!" ”
Li Zhile said: "I didn't expect the third lady to understand the Tang Taoist feng shui. ”
Hassan covered his mouth and smiled: "Where does she know this, but there are a few so-called national teachers in some tribes, who are from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil." Oh yes, it is said that they are also Taoists, but does Mr. Li know about family feng shui? ”
What are the national teachers in those tribes, Li Zhi understood it when he changed his mind.
It is nothing more than a cultivator hired by the chieftain of the tribe with a high salary, and the cultivation world of the Tang Dynasty is world-famous, otherwise there would be no magical oriental.
"Feng Shui is only in the third place in the five Taoist techniques, and it is not as effective as the second art of life and luck, and it cannot change its life against the sky, nor can it change its luck. However, Taoism pays attention to the way of nature and pursues the unity of all things, and the same is true of Feng Shui. If I understand it, the greatest feng shui in the world is the human heart, the best feng shui in the world is kindness, and peace of mind is the big pattern of feng shui! ”
Hassan shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, but agreed with the last point: "The first impression that Datang brought me was that the scenery was beautiful, and the folk customs were simple and kind, maybe this is the peace of mind and kindness in Mr.'s mouth, right?" ”
Li Zhizan said: "What the envoy's wife said goes straight to the core of Feng Shui. ”
Hassan laughed heartily again: "I am a woman, how can I pay attention to such a profound truth, and I can still hear the flattery in Mr. Li's mouth." ”
Jemani agreed: "I've heard of the big picture for the first time, so what is the profound existence? ”
"The big picture is not only the psychological space, but also the spiritual structure, or the life capacity, but also the comprehensive quality. We have a saying in Datang that no matter how big the pie is, it can't be bigger than the pot that bakes it. For individuals, if the position is the pie, the pattern is the pan of the pancake. ”
"I don't understand it anymore! Mr. Li, you might as well give us an example, maybe you can understand. Germani shook her head.
Li Zhi smiled and told them a story.
It is said that a young man was ordered by his parents to ask a feng shui master to look at feng shui for his family.
After meeting, explaining the reason, the young man led the feng shui master back home together.
When he was about to reach the village where the young man lived, the young man suddenly stopped and could not leave.
Mr. Feng Shui asked, "Housheng, why don't you leave?" ”
The young man pointed to a plum tree at the entrance of the village and said, "Look, it's my plum tree, and a few children are picking plums on it!" ”
Mr. Feng Shui said, "Why don't you go and drink these urchins?" ”
The young man replied, "Don't stop drinking, even if I go further now, it will not be good for them to see me!" ”
Mr. Feng Shui asked, "Why is it bad?" ”
The young man replied, "If I go on and be seen by them, I will run away in a hurry, or jump from a tree, or run, and in my haste, I will inevitably fall and be injured, or some other unforeseen thing." A few plums are trivial, and if they hurt the children, it's not good! ”
When Mr. Feng Shui heard this, he knew the reason why the young man did not stop, and secretly felt some respect in his heart.
So, the young man and Mr. Feng Shui stood far away in a secluded place.
They chatted about a few other things, until the children in the trees came down and were all gone.
At this time, the young man said to Mr. Feng Shui, "Okay, the children are gone, sir, let's go!" ”
This time, Mr. Feng Shui stood still and said only one sentence to the young man: "You don't have to go to your house!" ”
Mr. Feng Shui said: "You don't need to look at your family's feng shui, just with your tolerant and benevolent heart, I already know all about your family's feng shui, and it must be a good pattern!" But you can go home and tell Ling Zun that peace of mind is good, that is, the most victorious pattern! ”
Subsequently, Mr. Feng Shui said goodbye to the young man and left alone.
The young man seemed to have realized a little, and when he returned home, he told his parents what he had encountered that day.
The parents also became more motivated to do good, and within a few years, the whole family gradually flourished.
After Li Zhi's story was told, Zhemani already stroked her palms and smiled: "I understand, the big picture is to look at the long term." ”
Hassan sneered: "In a hurry to speak, I thought you had a profound opinion, but it turned out to be some superficial words!" ”
Zhemani looked back lightly: "Sister-in-law has a deeper understanding? ”
Hassan's scoff suddenly turned into a sneer: "Not really! ”
"Poof!"
Everybody is happy.
Unexpectedly, Helier waited for a moment of laughter and said her opinion:
"I think that no matter how bad feng shui is, it can't resist the brilliance of virtuous people, and people's kindness and great virtue are enough to change the influence of bad feng shui. Those who are not virtuous, even if they occupy the best feng shui in the world, cannot play a role and cannot last long. ”
Li Zhi picked up his big finger, but this time he praised it sincerely:
"Feng Shui is a blessed place for people to live in, and I have an idiom in Datang called Tianjie and Earth Spirit. It is said that people and the earth are dependent on each other and complement each other, and the earth spirit will create people, and the earth spirit will increase the earth spirit. ”
Pang Ti came out of nowhere: "The full words say this: Feng Shui is a blessed place for blessed people to live in, a blessed land to live in, and a blessed person to live in a blessed land." ”
As soon as he spoke, he rapped and said, which made several Arab ladies stunned on the spot.
I really don't understand it, and even the two translators next to me don't know how to explain it correctly and completely.
Pang Qi and Yu Ran appeared, and Li Zhicai was able to get out.
Through the summary of recent experience, he communicated with the old ladies in the Western Regions, but he couldn't gossip, otherwise it would only lead to endless questioning, and he was very suspicious of how boring these women with their heads and faces covered should be in their daily lives!
Therefore, as soon as he encountered such an opportunity for communication, he introduced the topic into the depths, but Fang Cai's pretense seemed to be cracked by Pang Qi's words.
It's bearable, and you can't hide, so Li Zhi honestly returned to Xin Jingshan and the three of them.
Xing Yichun said coldly: "Mr. Li, it seems that you were telling a story just now?" ”
Si Xiangwen couldn't help but laugh and retorted: "Mr. is explaining Taoist feng shui, what kind of story, it's called Taoist sayings, doctrinal mantras!" ”
"You don't come to knock on the side, is it easy for me, I finally caught an opportunity to show the family of a foreign woman another profundity of different beliefs, you should encourage it!"
Li Zhizhi's words caused Xin Jingshan to laugh, but he heard Hassan ask not far away: "That master looks very profound, why does this laughter always make people feel a little out of tune?" ”
Her voice was not loud, but Fatumai's translation voice was not small, Xin Jingshan was in a state of stunned, and Li Zhi and the other three were already laughing!
When the laughter of the three of them stopped, Xin Jingshan whispered: "The old ladies who dare to love the Western Regions also know how to ridicule, Master Xin, I am actually a little speechless." ”
Li Zhi then pointed out: "Do you know why I only talk about some big truths?" The women of the world are a family, wrapped in black robes, do you really think that they are all saints Fatoumai? It's the same as Qinling's mothers-in-law! ”
Xing Yichun laughed out loud: "Mr. Li means no culture, no cultivation, no taste, long hair and short knowledge? ”
"I didn't say that! Aunt Mi Zhi Sui Dehan, I guess you think crookedly! Li Zhi gave a very disdainful look.
Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide Han originally meant that the world's beauty Minchan during the Three Kingdoms was a Mizhi person, and Lu Bu, who was both talented and good-looking, was a Suide person.
Obviously, his explanation aroused Xing Yichun's dissatisfaction, "What is the matter with Qinling's mother-in-law that Mr. said?" ”
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows at him, his expression was very frivolous, and then caused laughter.
Not long after, the women who went out to buy crazy came back, because they got the Qiankun bag, Xin Jingshan was very interested, and took the initiative to find Liqi, the barbecue master, to discuss the open-air bonfire dinner tonight.
Seeing that Pang Si was busy conditioning his body with true qi for Hassan and the others, Li Zhi took Yuran, Sasher and Fu Chen and walked to the street to recall Mahdi and his party.
You don't have any authentic halal ingredients, so you need to bring some from your small shop in Wafig.
There are already dozens of chefs here, and they are already bringing out live sheep at the moment, ready to be slaughtered on the spot.
The snack street is only two streets away, and Mahdi and the others really haven't planned to eat yet, and are being surrounded by some people from the Western Regions chatting.
Hearing such a good thing, several people quickly got up, learned the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and said goodbye to everyone, and there was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Li Zhi alone stopped Mansour, and when the others entered the shop to get the ingredients, he told the conversation with his wife.
Mansour immediately expressed his yearning for the territory of Guangzhou, and the gratitude in his eyes was undisguised!
