Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

However, Gao Jing always walked steadily, with his body and mind upright, as if he was walking on a very ordinary path, without any disorder in his steps.

His eyes were always fixed on the man in black robe on the high platform in the distance, with a golden crown on his head, and a large black robe covering his whole body, even the palms under the robe were wrapped in black gloves.

Walking all the way to the end without stopping, Gao Jing came to the high platform before stopping, and said with a smile, "That's it?"

Moon God, who was waiting on the spot, saw this scene, and couldn't help opening his lips in shock. Even Dong Jun back then couldn't make it all the way to the end!

Concubine Yan looked proud.

The black-robed man Dong Huangtai said: ". "Although the endless starry sky is beautiful, but beneath it, there are endless dangers. Ordinary people will only get lost in it, muddled, and unable to be true to themselves.

In the world, only those who flow with noble blood can not let themselves get lost in the starry sky. "

Gao Jing laughed, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that I, Gao Jing, was born as a commoner, where did I come from the noble blood?"

"Nobility and baseness are like yin and yang, opposite but also complementary, you are the best embodiment."

Donghuangtai couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, and didn't contain the slightest emotion. She just said it, as if explaining an insignificant matter: "We have been waiting for you for a long time, mountain ghost!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gao Jing to speak, he pointed forward, and endless starlight suddenly scattered on the sky.

All of a sudden, jade slips floated around Gao Jing, emitting streaks of mysterious light.

"You can choose whatever you want, even if you choose all of them, (Wang Wang Zhao) is fine!"

The words of refusal were on the lips of Gao Jing, and they were swallowed back.

He groped his chin with a half-smile, if he could read all the classics of the Yin-Yang family, it would not be unacceptable to be called the "Mountain Ghost" of the Yin-Yang family!

Gao Jing suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed all the jade slips in his hand, and said, "Okay, I agree!"

Donghuang Taiyi's misty and ethereal voice echoed: "The Dao is yin and yang, and the infinite Taiyi, from now on, the mountain ghost will live with Dongjun."

Gao Jing was looking at the jade slips in his hand, not only the five parts of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five elements, but also obscure and difficult spells such as Soul Xi Longyou, Qi Gathering into Climb, and Six Soul Curse.

Of course, these are just catalogues, and the specific practice requires corresponding classics.

"Moon God should be the national teacher of the Qin Kingdom." The Eastern Emperor Taiyi said again.

Gao Jing thought for a while and said, "Yes!".

"Zhao Fuling, long time no see."

Just after leaving the headquarters of the Yin Yang family, Gao Jing met Zhao Gao who came to greet him.

Zhao Gao saluted respectfully, and said: "Made by Daliang, Your Majesty invites you."

"please wait."

Gao Jingjing nodded, turned to Concubine Yan and said, "Then you go to accompany Yinman first, and take care of Mingzhu by the way, that woman is very careful, don't let her mess around."

Concubine Yan nodded slightly, straightened Gao Jing's clothes, and said softly: "I know, your majesty can rest assured."

"gone."

Gao Jing smiled and touched her pink cheeks, turned around and boarded the carriage brought by Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao bowed to Concubine Yan and drove away.

After the carriage went far away, the Moon God appeared and said with a sneer, "Master Shangui is really affectionate. The women are brought home one by one, and I want my sister to keep an eye on you... You, who are so proud, can actually do it." One day I will compete with other women for men!"

Concubine Yan smiled indifferently, and said, "There are some things you will never understand."

Luna seemed to have punched the cotton with a punch, feeling powerless, and said, "What about Canglong Qisu? His Excellency Donghuang once said that Lord Shangui had already understood the secret of Canglong Qisu and had no intention of doing so. Will you promise 667 to join the Yin Yang Family?"

Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Of course it's because Your Majesty is interested in the Yin-Yang theory."

Luna was stunned: "That's all?"

Concubine Yan glanced at her and said, "So, you don't understand!"

……

Xianyang Palace, Chang'an Palace.

Gao Jing saluted and said: "Sir Gao Jing, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

He nodded to Ge Nie beside him.

Ge Nie clasped his fists and said, "Gai Nie has seen Daliang Zao."

Ying Zheng smiled and waved, and said, "Jing Chun, come quickly, the widow is talking swords with Gai Nieyan."

As sweet as ever.

Gao Jing walked over with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Yaxing."

After Gao Jing sat down, Ying Zheng said to Gai Nie, "Go on, sir."

Gai Nie nodded, and said: "The sword, from the moment it was cast, was given the name of a murder weapon, and its purpose was to kill people, which was also my initial understanding.

Later, I became confused. Since the sword is a murder weapon, why do people pick up this murder weapon again?

Mr. Guigu, the master, said that the horizontal sword is based on planning and seeking (bhdj) its benefits, which is called slaying;In the battle between vertical and horizontal, the one who wins is the strongest sword in the world. "

Ying Zheng nodded and agreed, "That's a good point. Only the winner can be called the strongest!"

Gao Jing smiled without making any distinction.

Gai Nie looked at Gao Jing, and continued: "Then I started to wonder again, to become the strongest sword in the world, do you have to win or lose to prove the strongest sword?

His Majesty said that he wanted to end this chaotic world, to save the common people in the world, to make the world peaceful, and to end the 700 years of war and the displacement of the people in this world.

It doesn't matter whether it is smashed or closed, vertical or horizontal, if what you have learned in your life can bring about peace in the world and the people live and work in peace, this is the strongest sword. "

Ying Zheng cheered and said, "That's a great word!"

Gao Jing asked with a smile: "But the sword is still a murder weapon. If it is a murder weapon, it will kill people."

Gai Nie said: "When a strong man holds a sword as a murder weapon, it is no longer the sword itself, but the person holding the sword that decides whether the sword is still a murder weapon.

Whether the sword held for the people of the world is a murder weapon or not is no longer important! "

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Then what is important?"

Gai Nie said: "The choice after holding the sword is very important! There is no right or wrong choice in itself, and it will inevitably produce a result. What the person holding the sword must understand is that after making this choice, he will face the consequences of the choice. result."

"Clap clap clap!"

Gao Jing couldn't help clapping his hands, and praised: "Gai Nie is a sword master!"

Gai Nie couldn't help being startled, he cupped his fists and said, "Da Liang has created too much reputation, Gai Nie dare not do it."

Gao Jing said with a smile: "There are not many swordsmen in the world, but who can realize this level of swordsman except Gai Nie?"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Zhao Gao!"

Zhao Gao quickly walked in small steps: "The servant is here."

Ying Zheng said: "Let the world know that Gai Nie will be the No. [-] Sword Master of Great Qin from today onwards. After the widows unify the world, he will be the No. [-] Sword Master in the world!"

"Here!"

Gai Nie's expression was no longer calm, but rather bewildered.

Gao Jing said with a smile: "Mr. Gai Nie knows why he holds a sword and why he swings it. Now that he has his own way of swordsmanship, is he still afraid that he won't succeed in the challenge?"

Gai Nie was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of contemplation, he said seriously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me your name!"

"This is what you deserve."

Ying Zheng smiled, and said to Gao Jing, "Jing Chun, tell me, what do you think the sword is?"

Gao Jing thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Let me tell the king a story.

Back then, on the border between Song and Wei, there were two families living next to each other, each with a treasure.

The Song family hid a volume of books, and the Wei family hid a sword.

The two children were playing together, and the Song family's child said: "How about I exchange the books at home for your sword?"

The child of the Wei family agreed, and the two sides made an exchange.

When the guard learned about it, he said to the child: "It's good that you want to collect books, but you shouldn't exchange it with a sword!"

The child was puzzled and asked the reason. Wei Ren said: "After the people of Song Dynasty got the sword, they can take the sword and take away your book collection. What do you use to resist it?"

The child was even more puzzled, and asked: In this case, why don't we use the sword to rob his family's collection of books first?

Wei Ren replied: Because we can guarantee our own virtues, but we cannot guarantee others' virtues, nor can we pin our hopes on other people's virtues! "

Ying Zheng froze for a moment, lost in thought.

Gai Nie was also thoughtful.

Gao Jing continued: "It's a virtue to have a sword in your hand, but it's dangerous to have a sword in your hand! Does Your Majesty understand the difference?"

Ying Zheng took a long breath and said: "Jing Chun's words are still so incisive and reasonable, I understand."

Gao Jing looked at Gai Nie and said with a smile: "Mr. Gai Nie has a sword in his hand, but his virtue can ensure that his sword is used in the right direction, so he can be named "Sword Master"!"

Gai Nie saluted admiringly, and said: "Da Liang made good words, Gai Nie has been taught!".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Jing Chun's glance made the widow suddenly enlightened. Zhao Guo has been destroyed, but there are still remnants of resistance, and the widow has been hesitating how to deal with it.

Now the widow has made a decision...Jing Chun, it's time for your "Government Strategy" to come in handy. "

Gao Jing also laughed, and said, "Your Majesty can finally hold this sword of the Son of Heaven!"

Yingzheng said with emotion: "Back then, Jing Chun once discussed the difference between "sword dancers" and "sword holders" with me. If I were a sword dancer, I would have found it difficult to dance this emperor's sword in the Qin and Zhao countries alone. sword.

But if the widow is a sword holder, he can wield this sword better... What does Jing Chun teach me? "

Gao Jing smiled gratifiedly, and said: "The power of the monarchy is supreme, and the rights of the people are self-governing!"

Ying Zheng's expression was complete, and he said seriously: "Please elaborate!"

Gao Jing explained: ""The supremacy of the monarchy" means that the king's power is higher than all others, and the state's government orders and the army must obey the king.

And "civil rights autonomy" means that the people of the king enjoy basic autonomy in addition to obeying the laws of the Qin State. As long as the decrees of local officials conform to the laws of the country, they can be implemented without asking the central government.
