【Commentary 028】Chapter 8 Lotus Heart

The eldest grandson smiled lately: "Your sister-in-law and I are inconvenient to go back to Jiangnan, and we are not very accustomed to the climate in the north, so I thought of Sichuan, and when I passed by here, I felt that the scenery was good, so I found a place and settled down in a small house near the water."

Chang Sihao glanced at the river outside the window and nodded: "It's very quiet here," Shui Yanxiang brought a tray, put the wine pot wine glass, a plate of fennel beans and a plate of cold salad on the table, and said with a smile: "You drink first, the meat is stewed in the pot, and it will be fine for a while," Li Shuangji's heart was full of joy: "It's stewed so soon, [Xianmo: foodie, steamed buns are eaten as beans, isn't it crazy to meet meat,] Shui Yanxiang was stunned for a moment, then understood, covered her smile, turned to her husband and said, "I let him go," The eldest grandson smiled and nodded, and Shui Yanxiang smiled: "Every few days in the future, he will still send wine as usual, but one of the barrels is for nothing," the eldest grandson smiled and said: "You will be careful and ask him to buy one get one free," Shui Yanxiang said: "It's not easy to live, you men are generous, we are women, so we have to be careful," smiled and turned away,

The eldest grandson smiled and was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't know what he meant, so he said: "Brother Xian laughs, women's families, they can't help but be a little stingy," Chang Sihao suddenly remembered the reason, and said with a smile: "300,000 taels of silver are given away for nothing, if it were me, I am afraid that I will have to hurt every day," the eldest grandson laughed chi, Chang Sihao said: "Big brother knows the current situation,"

The eldest grandson's smile quickly faded, and he stretched out his palm to stop him: "Don't tell me about the things on the rivers and lakes again," he said and picked up the pot to pour wine for him.

Chang Sihao didn't expect to be blocked as soon as he said a word, and unwillingly pressed his body forward: "Shen Lu is dead,"

The eldest grandson's eyes were slightly stiff, and the cup of wine overflowed a little,

After a while, he recovered, put down the wine jug, and said slowly: "Boshan in the process of expanding and growing in the Juhao Pavilion, after countless battles, is the young generation of leaders who have grown up side by side with me, his planning is well-planned, the execution is effective, and the sincerity of the people, looking at the pavilion, no one can stand out, the situation of the Juhao Pavilion today, although he is not the most contributing, but he is the most attentive one," said with a gentle sigh, pinched the cup, and spilled the wine on the floor. Xianmo: Ming Chengjun can plan, has style, is the highlight of the first part, died in the hands of Jue Xiang, art is unyielding, emotional, "tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for people to see", Qingwen tore the fan in the same way, the fan was torn by Qingwen, I think it is worth it, Shen Lu with his own body, for the Shuangjun and the four emperors to get out of trouble, for Juhao to retain the backbone of the backbone, it is also a well-deserved death,]

Chang Sihao listened gloomily, and said: "I am responsible for his death, [Xian Mo: Shuangji has approved this, Xiao Chang is still hanging on the side of his mouth, He Ye, on the surface I think so, I really don't think so, Xiao often uses Shuangji, just because he can rest assured,] "At the moment, how Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan infiltrated Dongchang, how to use word measurement to imply and win himself over at the banquet, how to fail to Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, and how Shen Lu led the four emperors of Juhao to rescue the two, and finally died under Qin Juexiang's sword, etc.

Finally, he said: "The emperor also has the heart of hard work, as long as the nine sides are stable, there is no dispute in the country, there is hope for the Ming Dynasty, the first battle of Dongchang has fully revealed the problem of Juhao Pavilion, and it can't be hidden, and now You Shengxian and Yan Lingyun The two old swordsmen have reappeared in the rivers and lakes, once the Gutian army is led to fight the uprising flag mutiny, the situation will be difficult to control, big brother, you can't ignore this matter,"

Looking at his worried appearance, the eldest grandson smiled later, poured the empty cup again, and said: "Why, you also want to pin the hope of the Ming Dynasty, like Hai Rui, on whose 'cheer up',"

Chang Sihao shook his head: "The world is not his alone, nor is it something he can manage alone, but as long as the domestic situation is stable, we can free up our hands to bring down Xu Jie, and then implement the new policy,"

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "The new deal, is it the way Zheng Mengzhu governs the country," Chang Sihao said: "Exactly," the eldest grandson smiled and said: "Brother, my brother may not speak very well, how much do you know about national politics, Zheng Mengzhu's thinking seems to be different from the change, it is relatively gentle, but in the face of interests, no matter who is gentle, it is not gentle [Xianmo: One sentence breaks the sky, "East" The talks between the two of them and the lord of Zheng Meng, because the perspective turned to Xiao Chang and did not write, but it was slightly mentioned in the relay of the lord of Zheng Meng, here from the mouth of the eldest grandson, then the two talked about something, there are general outlines, and there are many redundant writings, how can those conservative forces let you weigh the land, dismiss your tenant farmers, and spend money to buy officials, how can they be willing to lose because of poor assessment, as for the six ministries, the cabinet and other high-level officials, only because there is nothing to do, they are idle and discussed, attacking each other, once the business comes, they will not do it, let alone do it well, so it will be done'Push, drag, pull', suppress the big things, ignore the small things, not big or small, vague things, you have to clear the officialdom, mildly can't do things, once it becomes fierce, it will cause a total commotion and backlash, hit one, they will rescue each other;

Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard this, and said, "In this way, you have to follow Jiang Wan's method,"

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "I originally thought that this path was right, but later I figured it out, and I felt otherwise, because no matter how the regime is rebuilt, the people who are in charge of the power are still people, in exchange for the court, in exchange for officials, but not in human nature, people's hearts are the most unstable things, especially in one place with power, conscience will also become ambition, and simplicity will become greedy, so the world of violent reconstruction is still a change of soup and not a change of medicine," [Xianmo: Fang Zhennuo emphasizes the legal system, Yuan sacrifices wine and emphasizes virtue, and the eldest grandson has no confidence in both, so he was born from his heart]

Chang Sihao lost his mind for a while, and muttered, "That...... So what should I do?"

The eldest grandson smiled lately: "You come to ask me, I don't have an answer, since there is no answer, why not 'let it go' [Xianmo: understand these three words, there is no disputable thing in the world,], the world is too big, there are too many people, we are not immortals, and we should not have the mentality of saving the world, as long as we take care of our own life, we have an explanation for this life, [ Xianmo: Xiao Chang has a sense of responsibility, and has a sense of participation in this world, but the eldest grandson has unloaded his sense of responsibility, and the sense of participation is only received by himself, and those who are powerless to change reality have many thoughts, Zheng Mengzhu's so-called "self-Han" is this generation, it is easy to be a hero to fight the world and break into a career, but it is difficult for him to do it himself, so Xu Lao Swordsman dialect can only let go of the Nine Dragons and Ten Elephant Strength,]"

Chang Sihao lost his mind for a long time, shook his head violently, and said: "No, what you said is all predictions, and you haven't actually done it, how can you know the final result, Zheng Mengzhu must have thought of this, but he still spared no effort to do it, because ...... Because ......" his eyes kept rolling, and he couldn't find good words in his eagerness.

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Because it's man-made,"

"Yes," Chang Sihao said: "Things are man-made, because if you don't do it, you don't know whether it's right or wrong, and you never know what the result will be."

The eldest grandson was silent for a long time,

Chang Sihao took out the thin "Getaway" from his arms, buckled it on the table and pushed it over, the eldest grandson Xiaochi looked at a small poem written on the back page, which was the handwriting of the liverless, and read the two sentences of "Why do you need to carry a backpack tent, if you want to go far away", I would like to be stunned, Chang Sihao said: "Big brother, look at the meaning of the poem, you must have guessed that her old man had left Xiyuan three months ago, and now she has probably become a wandering old man, just live, Walking between this vast world, she has no nurturing grace for you and me, but her love for her son, I believe you and I can feel it, you can knock your head on the ground in front of her old man, call her a mother, it means that you are also a person with affection and righteousness, flesh and blood, Zheng Mengzhu said, ' People live in this world where they are born and raised, and they must give the world a little return, 'Heaven and earth are my parents, and the world is our home, we are indeed not immortals, but the immortals only look at the suffering of the world and don't take care of it, so this kind of immortal is not worth seeing."

The eldest grandson smiled and lowered his eyes, and the light in the room dimmed, making his face become as heavy as carving, [Xian Mo: In a long poem concentrated on the author's "Moving Poems and Returning to the Dynasty", there is a sentence of "no heart can go on a lonely journey, even if the intestines are broken", it is appropriate to describe the liverless, the so-called liver and intestines, the liver and intestines are broken, throw away this heart, abandon everything, the eldest grandson leaves behind his ambitions, picks off the hero's liver and gallbladder, and there is still a pair of soft intestines in the abdomen.

"Once upon a time, I thought much the same as you, but ...... Alas......" he exhaled this breath deeply, looked at the clouds rolling out of the window, and muttered: "The rain is brewing again, [Xianmo: a stroke, is to comfort its feelings, is to slow its breath]" looked at it for a while, his mind turned around, and said: "In fact, the general trend of the world is like this weather, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, are all ordinary, the heavenly phase is not because of people, but there are always people who want to ask for wind and rain, people always try to change something, but at most it is just to change the position of things and change their personality [Xianmo: think carefully, get married, is "marry through the door" , change the girl's residence, become a monk, from home to the temple, not a change of position, eating, is to stuff rice into the stomach, tailoring, is to cut the fabric, are all "change personality", how to think and how to respond, in this reason, there is nothing worth doing in the world, the grand duke has no relatives, where to come to the parents, the world is the same, why bother the family and the state, the people have their own way to live, history is rolling forward, why should you and I work hard, this is more than one move, [ Xianmo: It's a faint talk, but also the big truth, the so-called retreat is good for oneself, now everyone only cares about entertaining themselves, a few are still like the Republic of China when they are struggling to think about "where is China's future going?"

Chang Sihao frowned and waved his hand again and again: "You are too knowledgeable, and the younger brother can't understand what you say [Xianmo: Xiao Chang went to the eldest grandson, and he became a fool], I knew that I was thirsty and hungry before, and I was happy when I had food to eat, and I also knew that there are still many people in the world who have no fish to fight and no land to plant, so I want them to have fish, land to plant, and food to eat, this idea is not too much, but the current problem is that Juhao Pavilion is going to make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and his own people will beat his own people, not to mention the serious internal friction, and it will also attract Tibet, barbarians, Tatars, Wouldn't it be a joke for Warat to attack together?"

The eldest grandson Xiaochi asked: "How do you know that Juhao Pavilion is going to cause trouble," Chang Sihao said: "Do you need to say this, You Old Swordsman and Yan Old Swordsman reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and brought people to Beijing...... Hey," he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and asked, "What do you mean by that," Changsun Xiaochi said unhurriedly: "You think so, because you don't know anything about Old Swordsman You, on the contrary, with his old man out of the mountain, I'm afraid the situation will be stable," Chang Sihao wondered: "Why is that?"

Shui Yanxiang brought the dishes, and the eldest grandson Xiaochi helped put the plate on the table, and said, "Xiaoxiang, you can come with it," stretched out his hand and remembered, there were only two rattan chairs in the room, and he and Chang Sihao were sitting, but there was no place for her, Shui Yanxiang smiled and said: "You said yours, I will put the wine next to you," said and lifted the pot, filled Chang Sihao with wine and said: "Uncle please," seeing that Chang Sihao did not thank him, his eyes were still looking at the eldest grandson Xiaochi waiting, she smiled slightly, put down the wine jug, deliberately made a dignified appearance, and stood behind her husband. Xianmo: Deliberately, just to look down on this tone, men talk about things, often in the eyes of women, it is not worth mentioning, in fact, most of them,]

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Have you heard of the old swordsman You and the twenty-second road hero going to Lushan back then?"

Chang Sihao nodded: "I have heard, it was because the people on the hill said this that I changed my route to Sichuan, he said that at that time, the old swordsman You was still very young, because he admired Yanyun Fairy Wang Meini, so he joined the battle to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, but Yanyun Fairy fell in love with Tang Jiangfei, so he returned to the cave court in gloom,"

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "The Venerable Master's joke is not small,"

"Joke," Chang Sihao repeated these two words in his mouth, faintly feeling bad, and the eldest grandson smiled and said: "You Lao was indeed affectionate to Yanyun Fairy back then, but it was not for her to go to Lushan, but because You Lao was a member of the White Lotus Sect," Chang Sihao was surprised: "What, he is a member of the White Lotus Sect, so why did he join forces with outsiders to kill his own people,"

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Speaking of this, the words will be long,"

The White Lotus Sect was established by the Pure Land patriarch Hui Yuan in the Shandong Lin Temple in Lushan, Jiangxi Province, and was committed to the popularization of the people of the Qing faith, so that they could not cut their hair and "become a monk at home" because of the simplicity of the teachings, saying that "reciting the Buddha can become a Buddha" In the Yuan Dynasty, some people in the sect secretly contacted Haojie, contributed a lot to the cause of resisting the Yuan, and gradually became armed, but after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to fight against various sects in order to seek stability, which made the White Lotus Sect hurt its vitality, and also planted the seeds of hatred. Xianmo: Yuan is a foreign race, to oppose, Ming is Han unification, but also to oppose, so the people are not against the nation, but against tyrannical rule and oppression, try to think about whether the White Lotus Sect is an orthodox religion or a cult.

Hearing him talk about this, Chang Sihao immediately realized and asked: "You Lao is in the White Lotus against the White Lotus, is it because he is unwilling to be anti-Ming," [Xianmo: White characters can be changed in color, and changing colors is more thoughtful,]

"That's right," the eldest grandson said with a smile: "There has always been no shortage of sages and scholars in the White Lotus Sect, and it can even be said that many of them were elites from all walks of life at that time [Xianmo: Who to shoot,] You Lao was young at the time, and he was invited by a friend to join, because his martial arts talent was extraordinary, and his position in the sect was also rising, but he gradually found that the direction of the middle and high-level of the sect was extremely biased, far from what was declared in the teaching, so there was a lot of friction, and it later evolved into an irreparable incident [ Xian Mo: The author does not make it clear, it is to ask people to know what to do, to avoid disasters], at this time, he is already unable to retreat, and finally the White Lotus Xiaoming King ordered him to be eradicated as an apostate, You Lao is far away, he is worried that the White Lotus Sect will revolt and make the world miserable, and fall into the sword soldiers, so he united the nine sects and thirteen factions, led the twenty-two heroes to Lushan, and came back to end the main altar of the White Lotus Sect. Xianmo: Twenty-two road heroes, when there is Heng Mountain, Meini and Xiaoxue have a friendship, it is vaguely visible, You Lao has succeeded, but unfortunately in this world, more people have failed]"

Chang Sihao nodded: "I see," he thought: "The people on the hill only strongly investigate the role of the cloud fairy, do they not know the inside story, or do they do it deliberately,"

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "After the leaders and backbones of the White Lotus Sect's Xiao Ming King, the Three Holy Mother, and the Fourteen Jianxiong died, there was only one big stall left unmanaged, so You Lao and the remaining three White Lotus Jianxiong took over," Chang Sihao interrupted: "Didn't you just say that the fourteen Jianxiong are all dead," the eldest grandson smiled chisely: "There are a total of eighteen White Lotus Jianxiong, which is modeled after the eighteen sages when the sect was founded, and the status in the sect is only under the Three Holy Mother, You Lao is also one of them, and the remaining three Jianxiong are Xiliang Great Sword Yan Lingyun, Gun Saint Ji Xiangrong and one of the three monsters in Yunnan 'don't eat pork' Li Molei, the three of them have the same thoughts as You Lao, so they are all in the same camp," Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Dare to love Yan Lingyun is also a member of the White Lotus Sect, saying that he believes in Buddhism, then I don't believe it even if I am killed," [Xianmo: There are more people who believe in Buddhism, and there are more people who do their own things under the banner of believing in Buddhism,]

I only heard the eldest grandson Xiaochi continue: "You Lao had already germinated the idea of leaving the rivers and lakes at that time, and it was also a helpless move to take over the White Lotus Sect, after tidying up the chaotic situation, he handed over all the affairs in his hands to Ji Xiangrong, and pushed the dream of the rivers and lakes by himself, and returned to the Dongting, under the leadership of the three predecessors of Ji, Yan, and Li, the disciples of the White Lotus Sect abided by the canons, obeyed the laws of the country, and had been stable and fine, but they did not move, but some people could not help but pull out this eye,"

Chang Sihao thought to himself that the White Lotus Sect was no longer anti-Ming, so naturally there was a conflict of interests in the rivers and lakes, and asked, "Yes."
