Chapter 523 Old Master
"Are you the Great Immortal Cyan Ox?"
Li House, the old master looked at the young man in sackcloth in front of him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
This person didn't go through the door or the window, just like a gust of wind, he suddenly appeared in front of him. He was dressed in coarse linen and no decorations.
"Exactly." Qin He nodded.
Like the old master, Qin He was surprised when he first saw the latter.
A year ago, he heard Hexian said that the old master was very talented and learned, so he had the idea of visiting.
However, the old master was not at home that time, so there was a delay.
When I saw him today, this person not only saw him, but also cared about whether he was standing on the street without pants and whether his legs were cold.
Fate is such a strange thing.
Going around, thinking that they are fascinated, in fact, they have met each other, but they don't know each other.
"I have admired the name of the Great Immortal for a long time, and it is full of brilliance." The old master cupped his fists, the surprise on his face slowly receded, and there was no doubt at all.
The old master naturally also knows the Great Immortal Qingniu, who suppressed the plague and suppressed Lu Luan and retreated Dilu. He was everywhere in the capital, but no one knew his identity.
There are many believers, but they never gather together to act.
This immortal has immeasurable merits and virtues, but he is not for fame and fortune, and is extremely low-key.
Coarse linen clothes, no desire to wear, straight back, upright in the world.
This fits the silhouette of the Great Immortal Cyan Ox.
So as soon as Qin He opened his mouth to reveal his identity, he believed it.
The old master's surname is Li and his name is Huai'an. He is a master of Cheng Xue. He has assisted Zhang Juzheng in implementing reforms during the three dynasties of Dali.
"Master, you are welcome.
My birthday is coming to visit today, it's quite abrupt, please Haihan. " Qin He smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I'm idle on weekdays, but I don't know that the Great Immortal is coming to the humble house, but what's the matter?" The old master asked, mentioning the teapot in front of him with a small piece of tea spout missing, he poured a cup of tea for Qin He naturally.
"The younger generation is visiting today, and I have three questions that I don't understand, so I'm here to ask the master." Qin He held his teacup empty, and looked at the old master's residence.
Indeed, as he said, it was a "shabby house".
A living room, two wing rooms, a woodshed, a well, and a yard less than five feet long and wide are the whole of the old master's residence.
There is only one path left in the yard, and holly is planted on both sides.
But the residence is simple, but extremely tidy, the objects are well placed, and the small residence does not give people a sense of restraint.
"It's okay for the Immortal to say, but the old man has little knowledge and no great opinions. Whether the family's words are right or not, the Immortal has to decide for himself." The old master put down the teacup.
"My master is being modest." Qin He nodded, and said, "The first question for the younger generation is, what kind of emperor is a good emperor?"
The old master opened his eyes slightly, because this problem is very big and dangerous.
Ordinary people ask, just curious.
But when the Great Immortal Qingniu asked about it, it involved the common people in the world.
The old master's face was serious, and he pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor, who knows the dangers of people's hearts, knows the sufferings of the people, and keeps goodness and righteousness, is a wise king."
"You are dull, please explain it in detail." Qin He asked.
Without hesitation, the old master said: "The emperor is governed by the sky alone, he has six cabinets and ministers, and he has the laws of his ancestors. If he is good at judging and distinguishing, he is enough to become a wise king. The so-called good judgment
Being good at distinguishing is nothing more than having the ability to recognize people, the awareness of suffering, coupled with the kindness and righteousness in the heart, so that capable officials and officials will be outstanding, and treacherous officials and villains will have no place to stay. Scabies disease. "
Qin He nodded. It is difficult for a holy king to be born in a thousand years, but Mingjun's requirements are much lower.
In short, just one sentence: Don't be fooled, even if you are a Mingjun.
Although the carpenter emperor is not very bright, but he is worthy of praise, that is, he was not fooled by Donglin's sage-king remarks, and throughout his reign, he has always firmly grasped the lifeline of the dynasty's food and wages.
It also made Wei Zhongliang a perfect shield.
On the other hand, Chongzheng is too tender.
With a few words, he not only killed Wei Zhongliang, but also supported Donglin to continue to grow.
When the entire court was full of Dong Lin, he, the emperor, became a canary in a cage, coaxing you when he was happy, and mobbing the palace when he was unhappy.
By the time Chongzheng realized it, it was already too late, and it was just a remedy for panic, and the result would be loss of face.
"Second question, what if the emperor started from the beginning?" After a pause, Qin He asked again.
"The emperor started at the end of the world, experienced the sufferings of the people, and knew the faces of all living beings. This is the way to understand the emperor." The old master nodded and said: "Throughout the ages, the sages were born in the end of the world, or started in the grass, or endured suffering. It is just the sage. Once in a thousand years, it takes time and luck, and even more so, the art of the emperor, which can no longer be explained clearly in a few words."
Qin He nodded, and said again: "The third question, what does Master think of Li Chuang?"
This time, the master pondered for the longest time, but his words were the most succinct: "This person is not in the way of a king."
