Chapter 228: Answering Questions and Solving Doubts

On the other side, Yu Qingning and Li Xuan both came to a side hall and sat separately.

On the way, Li Xuandu had already roughly told Yu Qingning about the process and results of his advice, but he skipped many places involving the secrets of the Qingwei Sect and did not disclose anything.

Yu Qingning sighed lightly: "Zifu, it's not so decisive, right? With your identity, you can completely persuade in a softer way, why tear your face and be expelled from the sect." ”

Li Xuandu also sighed lightly: "Do you also think that I am talking without substance?"

Yu Qingning hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "The sect is not the imperial court, and the imperial court has the responsibility of shepherding the world, but the sect does not, so the righteousness of the world should not be imposed on the head of the sect." If you advise the old sword god with the righteousness of the world, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that it will be unpopular. ”

Li Xuandu didn't mind at all, and said: "Naturally, it can't be imposed, I'm just admonishing." To put it mildly, don't you hear that 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the people'? Today, when there are internal and external troubles, and the people of the world have suffered for a long time, how can we only talk about interests and disadvantages and not morality? How can we only talk about the interests of our own family and not the interests of the people of the world?"

Yu Qingning said: "The truth is so reasonable, but the truth can't be used to do things, but also pay attention to flexibility, pay attention to machine changes, if you use this reason to copy the rigid routine, blindly demand, ignore human feelings, and don't know how to guide according to the situation, it will only backfire." ”

"Reasonable. Li Xuandu nodded and said: "The key lies in the four words 'guide according to the situation', which I understand as the situation creates heroes, and it is also heroes who create the situation, and the two achieve each other." The general trend is like a rolling river, you can only use a dam to guide it according to the topography and make it change direction, but you can't block or make it go against the current, but at this time, I have no momentum to borrow in the Qingwei Sect, and there is no advantage in my hands to guide others. ”

Yu Qingning's face showed a somewhat puzzled look and asked, "How do you say this?"

Li Xuandu said: "At the beginning, the second senior brother recommended me to become the hall master of Tiangang Hall, this is one of the top three halls, and I am in a high position, if the old sect master agrees, it means that I still have a chance to make a comeback in the sect, but the old sect master refused, and only allowed a position as the hall master of Tianwei Hall." Of course, this position is not low, but it is far from changing the Qingwei Sect, and he is not even qualified to attend the meeting. According to the meaning of the second senior brother, I can endure in this position for a few years, but I can't wait that long, whether I am anxious for quick success or quick profit, or short-sighted, from the second year of Tianbao to the seventh year of Tianbao, the state affairs have been mistaken again and again, and there are still a few five years to survive? There are still a few five years to wait? So I have no way out in the Qingwei Sect, so in desperation, I only admonished the master like this, which can be regarded as the last means to break the cauldron and sink the boat. That's why I said that even if I didn't ask for it, I would advise the old sect master. ”

Yu Qingning was silent, and after a while, she said slowly: "There are many ways to admonish, direct admonition, sarcastic admonition, false admonition, abound. In the history books, many ministers were blindly impassioned, and in the end, they died and the country was empty, leaving a loyal name. In fact, I sometimes don't understand whether the advice is to make a name for one's own pleasure, or to make it so that the listener can listen to it. I don't know why Zifu chose such a decisive way to admonish, and it was the most difficult word for the old sword god to accept. ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "You don't know my master, I have fellowship with you, how I intersect, what I have said, and what I have done, he knows it clearly." Do you think such a person would not understand those truths? Whether it is to say that the world is righteous, or to clarify the hearts of the people of the Weizong Sect, the fundamental reason is to strike the war and negotiate peace, which is completely contrary to my master's ideas, and there is not much room for negotiation. This is not a dinner party, it is not a talk of metaphysics, it is not a short-term relationship between parents, there is no room for bargaining, there is only one either/or result, how can it be changed in a different way? Could it be that if I use a clever method and use some tactful words, my master will agree to strike the war and negotiate peace? Not to mention that my master also erected a big shield in front of him, that is, my senior brother Li Yuanying, and Li Yuanying found a cover in front of him, that is, the third lady Gu Yusheng, so that layer by layer, if I am not simple and straightforward, and go straight to the point, how can I cross Li Yuanying and point directly at my master? If I twist and turn, then it is in line with my master's wishes, he will push everything on Li Yuanying, and then let the two of us go to court, then he will be the parent judge who judged the case. It's a joke: 'Who is kneeling in the hall, why is he suing this official?'

Yu Qingning sighed: "Even if you go straight to the point, you still fail in the end." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Many things, I still have to do it even if I know that I fail." If everybody is smart and doesn't do it if they know they're going to fail, then they will never be able to do it. ”

Yu Qingning smiled: "Zifu, many of your thoughts are really a bit ......"

"NaΓ―ve?naΓ―ve?" Li Xuandu smiled and said: "Look at the mountain is a mountain, see the mountain is not a mountain, look at the mountain is still a mountain, this is the triple realm of life." When he was a teenager, he was full of enthusiasm and indomitable, thinking that where there is a will, there is a way. When I was middle-aged, I had a lot of calculations and learned to be tricky, but I always didn't care about the enthusiasm of young people and felt naΓ―ve and ridiculous. But in the end, when we look back, what is it that has supported our land of Shenzhou for thousands of years without falling? Is it just all kinds of power and calculations? Looking back at the history books, there are not a few tricks made by all dynasties, and the various disasters caused by them are even more numerous, how many foreign invasions, how many times we have destroyed the country and the extinction of the species, but how many times have we stood up, and what are we relying on? Isn't it the spirit that has been there since childhood?

Li Xuandu raised his right hand and beat his chest three times: "Under the nest, there are no eggs, no skin exists, and Mao will be attached? The land is not divided into north and south, people are not divided between high and low, rising between the micro and the end, there is no thought of the yellow house, compassion for the living souls, and saving the world between fire and water. ”

This time, Yu Qingning was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Although the words are good, but Zifu, you have experienced ups and downs several times, you should understand one thing, people's hearts can be used without falsehood, and this heart is even brighter, but when dealing with people like the old sword god, you have to talk about the benefits." When you talk about the righteousness of the family and the country with the old sword god, you are more practicing your own beliefs, rather than considering the problem from the perspective of the interests of the sect. This naturally leads to great resistance, and there is a lot of disgust, and failure is reasonable. ”

Li Xuandu said quietly: "The greater the ability, the higher the status, and the greater the power, the greater the responsibility." Whether it is the old sword god or the great heavenly master, although they are not emperors, they are the few people in this world, ordinary people can escape, they can hide, they boast of the right path, they can't escape, let alone hide. ”

Yu Qingning smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Zifu, you don't have to talk about him left and right." ”

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell you clearly." ”

"I don't know if you have ever heard such a story, in ancient times, there were people who obeyed the orders of the gods, and there were slaves of the eldest princess who killed people during the day, because of the eldest princess, the officials did not dare to touch him, and the eldest princess traveled, and this slave even accompanied him before and after the saddle. When the lord learned about it, he stopped the eldest princess's car, drew the ground with a knife, and told the princess about her mistakes. The princess therefore complained to the emperor, and the emperor wanted to kill him, but the lord of the order was not afraid, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is holy and virtuous, and how can you rule the world if you set the slaves and kill people? When the emperor was a commoner, he was a local tyrant, and there were many actions to shield prisoners, and the government had no choice but to do it, but now that he has won the world, he can't control his officials. This is what it means that 'the Son of Heaven is not the same as the white clothes.'" ”

"The family teacher is not the Son of Heaven but is better than the Son of Heaven, and the battle with the Son of Heaven must use the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the dignified array must be used to raise the banner of justice, so the common people in the world are not blindly talking, but to occupy the name of righteousness. Because it is impossible for me to refute the family teacher at the level of the Qingwei Sect, from the perspective of the Qingwei Sect, the family teacher may not be right, but it may not be wrong, before the final result comes out, it is all the same, so I can only refute the family teacher from a higher level of the world's righteousness, the so-called "Son of Heaven is not the same as the white clothes", and the enemy of the Son of Heaven, you must stand on the righteousness, otherwise in the situation that force, status, power, and ethics are often at a disadvantage, why should I 'fight the sword' with the family teacher? At this time, my tutor and I are both determined people, so the difference in philosophy, there is no room for reconciliation, good words or bad words, the method is tactful or hard, even if I can spit lotus flowers, I can't change this fact, so at this time, it is not much useful to use some ways of strategy, only by upholding the righteousness can we have a chance of winning. ”

"I knew in advance that it would be difficult to succeed in this matter, but I just insisted that I could do one point for one point. This time, the master expelled me from the sect, but also fulfilled my wish, and there is no need to have the scruples of the sect from now on, everything is just for the peace of the world, but I have a clear conscience. ”

Yu Qingning looked at Li Xuandu deeply, didn't speak again, just sighed softly.

Neither of the two was able to convince each other completely, but Yu Qingning finally agreed with Li Xuandu's idea, as Li Xuandu himself said, it may not be right, nor necessarily wrong, in short, until the final result comes out, it is all like this.
