Chapter 177 The Tao is not the same

Li Xuan didn't say anything, and he didn't comment on Ning Qi's words.

Ning Qi didn't think it was offended and smiled faintly: "Mr. Li doesn't agree with me?"

Li Xuandu said: "With swords and weapons, naturally, people's heads rolled down countless times and blood flowed into a river. There is nothing that doesn't matter."

Ning Qi asked, "Why is Mr. Li silent?"

Li Xuandu said angrily: "Even if the Liaodong Iron Cavalry outside the pass has not gone south to enter the pass, will there be no one in the pass? There is no blood flowing into a river, but there are starving people everywhere. If it weren't for refugees everywhere, how could the Qingyang Sect gain power? Did the high priest know about it?"

Ning Qi sighed: "I know it naturally."

Li Xuandu said: "To this point, some things might as well be put on the table. The court situation is now a situation where the land is broken and fish are rotten. The reason why it can be maintained depends entirely on the foundation left by the Muzong Dynasty. When the family is exhausted and it is difficult to maintain, the whole world will rot from the inside out. In this process, the nobles will openly suffer the people in the name of righteousness, and cut off the people's flesh and replenish the sores of the court. If they can really supply the court, it would be fine, but they will probably be exploited layer by layer and fall into the hands of corrupt officials and local tyrants. Therefore, the people whose families are destroyed and their families are destroyed, do you know if the high priest knows it?"

This time, Ning Qi was silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "Mr. Li's words were deafening. So Mr. Li meant that long pain was better than short pain. Instead of letting the people suffer from decades of exploitation, it is better to exchange for years of war for a hundred years of peace."

Li Xuandu nodded: "That's right."

Ning Qi disagreed: "How innocent are these people who died in chaos and war."

"Are those people who died in harsh policies innocent? Now if they don't have any swords, they will die, and if they don't have any swords, they will die. If they wait for death, will the country die?" Li Xuandu said: "Whenever the world changes greatly, there is no one who will not die, so it will not change because of anyone. Or is there a better way for the high priest? Should the Jiangnan family give their money to help the people? Or will the court implement Zhang Xiangye's new policy to rectify the administration?"

Ning Qi fell into silence.

Li Xuandu continued: "The Great Wei is the Great Wei of the Xu family, but it is also the Great Wei of all living beings in the world. The rise and fall of a surname is private; and the life and death of the people is public. I am not doing the support of the dragon for my own wealth or grudges, nor do I act with my own will. I just want to seek the word "peace". For this reason, I have asked all the wise and wise men, and I have also sought to go up and down alone. Unfortunately, there is no way to achieve both virtues. Most of the people in the world are people who fear power but do not have virtue. If you seek peace with kindness and harmony, you will die. If you seek peace with swords and weapons, you will survive. Peace is the goal, and swords and weapons are just means. Just as the Buddhists say, using thunder means to practice the heart of the Bodhisattva, this is the case." Ning Qi sighed: "I cannot say that Mr. Li is wrong, but I don't think Mr. Li is right."

Li Xuandu said: "I know that the meaning of the high priest wine is nothing more than to rectify the administration of officials, suppress the powerful, oppose annexation, fill the treasury, and then consolidate the army and fight against the enemy outside, so that peace can be achieved. Zhang Xiang thought so, did the same, and almost succeeded."

Ning Qi nodded and said, "My mother will give birth to a son and will feed him to live; she will be born with one person and will be given food to live. This way of heaven is also the way of human beings. How can one or two people seize the fields of hundreds, thousands of people and make them hungry and cold, and the way of heaven does not fall into the way of human beings and will not fall into the way of human beings! The way of heaven is decayed, and the way of human beings will be decayed, and the source of chaos will begin. People lose their land, and the country will lose their people. If the country loses its people, there will be no one who can survive without major chaos."

"Therefore, if there is no land, there will be no people, and if there is no people, the country will be destroyed. This is even the most reasonable." Li Xuandu said: "The principle of a high-priest wine sacrificial wine is correct, but it is easy to know and difficult to do. Just like a house, if only the tiles are broken, it can be repaired. If the beams and pillars are decayed, it will be difficult to repair them. Instead of sticking to the shortcomings, it is better to start a new stove and rebuild a new house. Not only is the beams and pillars brand new and solid, but there is no need to repair the tiles."

Ning Qi asked back: "Mr. Xiao Li thinks that the powerful Liaodong is a brand new house, which is better than the current imperial court?"

"I didn't say that." Li Xuandu denied: "As the saying goes, seeing is better than seeing a hundred times. As the great priest said, isn't I going to Liaodong just to see it with my own eyes?"

Ning Qi knew that this was the difference between the two. Although Mr. Li was young, after his experience, he had his own opinions and thoughts about the world, which could not be reversed in just a few words. As the saying goes, the different Taos do not make plans for each other, which is the case.

Li Xuandu said: "There will not be only one voice in this world. The high priest has the opinion of the high priest. I have my ideas, and there is nothing wrong with it. But in the end, there can only be one voice to make the final decision. Let's watch it later."

Ning Qi's original intention of this trip was to persuade Li Xuan to stand on the side of suppressing the powerful Liaodong, but Li Xuan did not agree with this principle. Fortunately, Li Xuan did not refuse directly, but said that seeing it is true. Although this made him not just come and go with all his fun, it was not a waste of time.

Ning Qi was about to stand up and say goodbye. Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I have another thing to ask the Grand Priest, which is related to the Grand Priest's private affairs. I wonder if the Grand Priest can meet the teachings."

Ning Qi thought for a moment and understood, and said, "Mr. Li wants to ask Ning Yi about something?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "That is, the high priest named Ning, and the 'blood knife' in the world is also surnamed Ning. It is said that Ning Yi once studied at the Vientiane Academy when he was young, so he asked this question."

Ning Qi smiled and said, "There is nothing that cannot be said. Ning Yi was originally an old man and nephew. He was confused by the woman and went astray and was removed from the family. He eventually became today's 'blood knife'."

Li Xuandu finally understood and said, "Thank you, the great priest, for solving the problem."

Ning Qi stood up and said, "If Mr. Li has nothing to do, then I will say goodbye."

Li Xuandu stood up and said, "Young boy, I actually asked the Grand Priest to visit me in person. I was very frightened. I hope the Grand Priest will not offend Xuandu's rude and offensiveness."

Ning Qi pondered slightly, reached into his sleeve, and took out a book: "Mr. Li is so polite, which makes me feel a little disgusted. It just so happened that I carried a book called "Song of Righteousness" with me, which was written by the last prime minister in the Jin Dynasty. If Mr. Li doesn't dislike it, he can read it, which may be beneficial."

People in Confucianism are not all scholars who have no power to tie up chickens. Just like people in Taoism are not all scammers who cheat and cheat, they have real skills. Otherwise, the Mohism and Taoism that were once prosperous would not be defeated by Confucianism one after another. Many worldly Confucian disciples have outstanding cultivation. The Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, as Ning Qi mentioned, is the best among them. Unfortunately, the general trend is not changed with personal power. Even though his cultivation is so great, he eventually died under the siege of the masters of the Golden Horde and sacrificed his life for his country. It is said that the prime minister had expected that his crimes would be of great luck before the last battle, and he also had ambition to die, so he left his inheritance early, which was this "Song of Righteousness".

When you reach the infinite realm of heaven and man, except for the Xuanmen and the righteous method in the great success method, or some kind of exercise that specifically makes up for one's own shortcomings, such as the "Cai Nu Gong" required by Xiao Shiyu, the rest are insignificant. For Li Xuandu, it is best to have this kind of exercise, and not to have it is not a loss.

Li Xuan did not refuse, and took the book with both hands and said, "The elder dared not refuse, I am ashamed of my elders, thanking the high priest for the wine."

Ning Qi said: "This 'Jing of Righteousness' evolved from the 'Haora' of the sub-saint. Both are called 'Haora'. In the words of you Taoist people, 'Haora' is the Xuanmen righteous method of the great success method, and 'Jing of Righteousness' can only be regarded as the best method. Mr. Li is well-versed in various schools, and he thinks that there is no shortage of martial arts. However, it is most appropriate to use righteousness to suppress evil."

Ning Qi looked at Li Xuandu deeply and said, "I was still wondering why Mr. Li had the five thunder energy on him. It turned out that it was the work of the great master."

Li Xuandu suddenly realized in his heart and thought to himself: "There are countless Confucian masters, but they are determined to be in the temple and not in the world, so few people in the world know about it. This great priest can see through the Fengzhen left by the great master on me. It can be seen that his cultivation is high, and I am afraid that it is not because of his merits and fortune. No wonder he took the initiative to give me the "Song of Righteousness" but he has a kind heart."
