Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu neither refused nor agreed, but said: "True heroes are never controversial in the future, and fake heroes are not solid even if they have archways. Because everyone has a scale in their hearts. The dignitaries in the temple who claim to be pillars always underestimate the opinions of the people. They don't know that when etiquette is lost, they look for it in the wild. The judgment of the common people on morality and right and wrong is far deeper and simpler than that of the officials in the temple."

Yan Feiqing did not rush to ask Li Xuandu's answer, but followed his words and said: "I would like to hear the details."

Li Xuandu raised his hand and said: "I have been traveling all the way from Luzhou to Jingzhou. Whether it is the people in the martial arts world or the ordinary people in the market, they all miss the time when the four ministers were alive. The people did not understand the temple's schemes and the long-term plans, but they understood the difficulties of their own livelihood. In the current temple, the ruler is young and the country is in doubt. The queen mother and the king of Jin are in the court to teach Politics. The King of Jin promoted several cases, and the titles were rampant. He used suspicion, slander and humiliation to kill his ministers. The Queen Mother enjoyed the Western Garden and did not return to the palace, and was extravagant in construction. There were many conflicts between the two. Because of the struggle for power, the rules and regulations were relaxed, the officials were corrupt and the generals were weak, the people were living in misery, floods and droughts were frequent, thieves were rampant, taxes and labor increased, and the houses were like counties. The people have suffered for a long time, and this is the people's hearts that can be used. "

Yan Feiqing's face became solemn and asked: "What does Brother Zifu mean? Does Brother Zifu prefer the "pseudo Zhou" in the northwest? "

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "Those who understand the Great Wei court went to Xijing. Those who understand the Great Zhou stayed in the Imperial Capital. Those who understand both hide in the rivers and lakes and mountains. Why? If the way does not work, ride a raft on the sea. As for those who don't understand either, they can only be muddleheaded in the chaotic world, and life and death are at the mercy of fate. . Sometimes, to see who a person admires, you have to see what he wants to express. Someone admires the Great Zhou, does he really want to support the Great Zhou? Of course, there are such people who believe that the Great Zhou can change the sun and the moon, and believe that the Great Zhou can overthrow the Great Wei court that has collapsed. But in fact, most people don’t even know who the "holy king" is, let alone others. Why do you say they admire the Great Zhou? To put it bluntly, because they oppose the current Great Wei court, but they dare not really resist the court, so they admire the Great Zhou that is opposed to the court. "

Yan Feiqing clapped his hands and said: "Brother Zifu is very insightful. In this case, Zifu is not a person who admires the Great Zhou?"

"Of course not." Li Xuandu emphasized: "The Great Zhou is just a group of people, most of whom are people with ulterior motives and bad thoughts. , how many people are for the people? How many people are for the people of the world? But for their own selfish desires, what is the difference with today's Wei Dynasty? Could it be that millions of people died just to become the second Wei Dynasty? There is no such reason. "

Yan Feiqing's eyes were shining, and his tone was a little more intimate, "Since the Great Zhou is not enough to save the people, it can only fall into the court of the Great Wei Dynasty. Then, according to Zifu, who in the court of the Great Wei Dynasty can take on such a great task now?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "I am not in the temple, and I don't know who can take on such a great task, but I can make it clear that the King of Jin and the Queen Mother will not be the ones to support the court of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although they are in power now, without them, there are still people who can replace them. The Great Wei is still the Great Wei. I say this, can Master Yan understand? "

Yan Feiqing nodded and sighed: "In the final analysis, we are just looking for a job while riding a donkey. Temporarily supporting the King of Jin is just a stopgap measure to prevent the Queen Mother from completely grasping the power of the court. That would be an unmanageable matter."

Li Xuandu was silent again.

It is nonsense to say that he and Yan Feiqing have different ideas and cannot make plans together. However, it is not entirely true to say that they are completely like-minded. Under the general direction of saving the world, there are still many differences in small directions. These small directions seem small now, but they will become very big after a few hundred years. This makes Li Xuandu inevitably worried and unwilling to easily agree to what Yan Feiqing asked.

Yan Feiqing naturally understood this point, and still did not rush to ask Li Xuandu, but said: "The court and the rivers and lakes are two different things. Since the second year of Tianbao, what I am most reluctant to talk about is the court. Today, I will not talk about the court, but only the rivers and lakes. "

Li Xuandu did not speak.

Yan Feiqing said: "If the biggest worry of the court is the rebellion in the northwest and the Golden Horde, then what is the biggest worry of the martial arts world?"

Before Li Xuandu opened his mouth to answer, he had already asked himself and answered: "It is the ten evil sects. It is true that there are indeed people with good tempers in the ten evil sects, and there are also despicable people in the twelve righteous sects, but both are just a minority, and we cannot generalize. From the overall situation, the ten evil sects are still the source of chaos in the martial arts world, especially the five sects in the northwest. "

Li Xuandu nodded.

To be fair, although Yan Feiqing is the head of the Zhengyi Sect, his words about the difference between good and evil are very pertinent. The so-called righteousness and evil are not about saying whether you are righteous or evil, but about being recognized by countless people. Just as Li Xuandu said, true heroes are never controversial in later generations, and fake heroes are not solid even if they are honored, because everyone has a scale in their hearts. From this point of view, Yan Feiqing is right.

Seeing Li Xuandu's approval, Yan Feiqing continued: "The battle between good and evil has lasted for thousands of years, and there are countless blood feuds, which are irreconcilable. Only the complete demise of one side can stop it. Now the five sects in the northwest have started uprisings in Qinzhou, Liangzhou, Shuzhou and other places, and the five sects in Liaodong have left the three states of Liaodong and entered the imperial capital and Jiangbei area. The original pattern of the rivers and lakes no longer exists. After the court, the rivers and lakes have also begun to be in chaos. "

Li Xuandu sighed, "The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed. It is said that the temple is not to be mentioned, but the rivers and lakes are all affected by the temple. When the wind blows in the temple, ripples appear in the rivers and lakes. When a cloud accumulates in the temple, the sky becomes cloudy in the rivers and lakes. When a rain falls in the temple, there are thousands of ripples in the rivers and lakes. The current chaos in the rivers and lakes is ultimately caused by the chaos in the temple."

Yan Feiqing looked at Li Xuandu and said word by word: "Brother Zifu is right. The sage said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It is also said that you can't be a good prime minister, but you can be a good doctor. It can be seen that a great doctor treats the country, and a small doctor treats people. But if you treat the headache and the foot pain, it is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. If you want to cure it, you have to find the root cause."

Li Xuandu raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, because he thought of two words.

That was what Zhang Suqing wanted to do but failed to do.

"It seems that Brother Zifu and I are of the same mind." Yan Feiqing immediately noticed Li Xuandu's mood, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. "If you want to pacify the world, you must first pacify the temple. If you want to pacify the temple, you must first pacify the rivers and lakes."

Li Xiandu shook his head and said, "It's difficult."

Yan Feiqing did not deny it.

The water of the rivers and lakes is bottomless, and there are fish and dragons in it. At first glance, it seems that there are only some fish and shrimps wandering around, but deep under the water, there are dragons entrenched. Throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have wanted to unify the rivers and lakes? But there are very few who can really do it. The simple four words "pacify the rivers and lakes first" are easy to say but difficult to do.

Yan Feiqing looked at Li Xuandu deeply and said, "Today's words, I only say this to Brother Zifu, and I hope Brother Zifu will not spread a word."

Li Xuandu also looked more serious and nodded slowly.

Yan Feiqing said slowly: "Now if we want to gather the power of the Jianghu, we must first change the rules. Take the Confucian lineage as an example. Some people say that the rules set by the saints cannot be changed. This is not true. The so-called saints' principles change with the times. In fact, the saints' principles have always changed. After the saints, there were sub-sages, and after the sub-sages, there was the Neo-Confucianism of the previous dynasty, and then there was the Xinxue of the current dynasty. They are a supplement to the saints' ways. Since the saints' rules can be changed, how can our Jianghu rules not be changed?"

Li Xuandu looked at Yan Feiqing in surprise.

He almost thought he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the head of the Zhengyi Sect.

Yan Feiqing smiled helplessly, "Brother Zifu, don't look at me like this. I dare not say such transgressive words alone. This is actually what my master said. I just told him the truth."

Li Xuandu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and sighed: "The old Tianshi is worthy of the title of Tianshi."
