Time flies, and a month and a half passed.

He carefully cut off the joy, sorrow, anger, sorrow, shocked emotions, and eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. Although he had not cut off all, he was like a walking corpse. He could not listen, look, hear, taste, and taste. He had cut off communication with the outside world and almost lost the fun of being a human being. He sat cross-legged in the temple every day, and needed Zhang Yu and Qiao Niang to serve him after eating and washing.

This state makes people worry and feel distressed, but now that things have come to this point, they can no longer be interrupted. They can only rely on their perseverance to cut off all their emotions and desires, and draw their new life on a piece of white paper.

In the other month and a half, Xiao Ye and Qiao Niang's cultivation level finally reached the peak of the second tribulation by taking pills, and could enter the third tribulation at any time. This is truly like lead and mercury, pure and thick.

Su Yue'er also took out the divine crystal and took it with everyone, and his mental power increased. Su Yue'er was equivalent to entering the golden elixir for the first time, Xiao Ye and Qiao Niang were equivalent to the peak of the three tribulations, and the level of innate Great Perfection, Zhang Yu and Du were a little different, and it was also the level of the second tribulations.

Of course, Xiao Ye did not let go of the reciting of the Heart Sutra. He recited it every day, in addition to his ability to grow to the peak of the eighth grade, in terms of the mind, Xiao Ye became more and more confused as he read it. One thought was clear, and more confusion emerged.

This made him face Neo-Confucianism.

In fact, any academic is positive at the beginning of its birth, but people's hearts are unpredictable and will interpret the sages with their own interests.

Just as Xiao Ye understood Yi, there is no profound truth to those heroes and my enemies. It is purely because of different positions, butt determines the head.

The same is true for Neo-Confucianism. If Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism is carefully studied, it has many positive and enterprising points. The reason why Neo-Confucianism is discredited is mainly related to the Qing Dynasty's use Neo-Confucianism as a means of rule.

In the Ming Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism never occupied a dominant position, and even after Wanli, it was suppressed by Xinxue in a miserable way. It was just because the Qing soldiers entered the pass, and traitors and literati threw themselves into the banner and misinterpreted Neo-Confucianism, especially in maintaining the laws of nature and destroying human desires, and using confining ideas to curb resistance.

People often regard preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires as Zhu Xi's original creation, but this is not the case.

Confucius repeatedly claimed to restrain oneself and return to rituals. "The Book of Rites: Music" also says: People transform into things, destroy the laws of heaven and lose the desires of others, so they have the intention of rebellion and falsehood, and have lustful and chaotic things.

Even the most familiar sentence of Confucianism is almost regarded as the ultimate principle of cultivation. The human heart is dangerous, the Tao heart is subtle, the essence is only one, and it is only one. It is also about maintaining the principles of heaven and destroying human desires.

In Neo-Confucianism, principles are a spirit, not the laws of heaven or the rules of heaven. From this we can see how the essence of the thoughts of the sages were misinterpreted by later generations.

If you want to study the theory of mind carefully, you cannot avoid the theory of Neo-Confucianism. The only difference between the two is that one is the theory of the theory and the other is the theory of the mind.

However, Xiao Ye did not have the idea of ​​writing "The Book of Religious Affairs". After all, he has not yet figured out what kind of spirit the theory of Neo-Confucianism represents. Moreover, the six words "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires" are extremely powerful and can easily be misinterpreted by people.

During these days, Qiaoniang and Zhang Yu recited the Heart Sutra with Xiao Ye. Qiaoniang's talent was the fifth grade, and Zhang Yu reached the third grade.

The two-month period with Qinggui is approaching, and Xiao Ye can no longer stay. After asking Zi Gu to take good care of him, he quietly left with Su Yueer late at night, and walked all the way. He met the three Qinggui brothers and sisters in Xiangyang and went to Luoyang together.

...

"It's worthy of being the capital of God, it's indeed magnificent!"

Qingbo looked around, and his eyes showed admiration.

Qinggui was much more steady and said in a deep voice: "If you want to see the scenery of Shendu, there is still time. Please ask Lord Xiao to take us to Sibin Temple first, and it is important to do the important business."

"good!"

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Su Yue, you go back to your home first."

"yes!"

Su Yue'er's appearance in Luoyang was like a servant in green clothes, and she was more feminine than her current image. It was not convenient to appear in the yamen with Xiao Ye, so she turned around and left.

Qingbo's eyes were full of reluctance.

Sibin Temple is the Great Honglu Temple, located north of Tianjin Bridge, close to the imperial city. It is said that it was built here to allow foreigners to expose the glorious power of heaven. When Xiao Ye led the Qinggui and the other three to arrive, a gatekeeper shouted: "Stop the person coming!"

Xiao Ye stepped forward and said, "I am the right-level censor of the Zhengtai Supervisor Xiao Ye, who was ordered to inspect the Six Divines. Now the King of Mengshe admires Tianyan, so he sent his crown prince Lin Minzhi to the court to see him!"

"Oh? Please wait!"

The soldier hurried away.

After a moment, a chief rushed out and asked, "Who is the prince of Monshe?"

"That's right!"

The rules bowed and bowed.

The head of the officials looked at it and said, "Mr. Xiao, please go back first. Since it is a foreign vassal, our Sibin Temple will receive it according to its superiority and courtesy."

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Ye didn't say much. He couldn't show that he was too close to Qinggui and turned around and left.

It is not easy to see the Empress Dowager in Qing Dynasty. It requires a series of complex certifications from Sibin Temple. First, you need to identify the identity and determine the level. Sibin Temple holds banquets and tributes, and the value of the items given by Sibin Temple must be estimated by Sibin Temple, and then the value of the items given by the gift is determined. Then there is a long wait.

This is nothing to do with Xiao Ye anymore, Xiao Ye went straight back to Yousu Zhengtai.

"What? Lord Xiao is back?"

When the officials came to report, Lai Junchen and Liu Guangye looked at each other.

To be honest, when Xiao Ye was away, several major cases broke out in Taiwan, and the court was in a panic, which severely exclaimed the prestige of Yousu Zhengtai, which was deeply favored by the empress dowager. Many censors were flirting with their fists and their morale was high.

"Haha, this guy is so lucky. I heard that there was a turmoil in Liuzhao and he could still come back alive!"

Liu Guangye suddenly smiled, his eyes full of coldness.

"Hey, after all, it's our Yousu Zhengtai. Send him in!"

Lai Junchen waved calmly.

"yes!"

The official retreated and within a moment, he brought Xiao Ye.

"Sir, please see the two chief ministers!"

Xiao Ye bowed and bowed.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your hard work. How did you do this? Have you found out what you found?"

Lai Junchen looked at Xiao Ye with a slight smile.

"Just about to report to the two Chief Secretary..."

Xiao Ye told all the itinerary. At the end, he submitted the file and the ten thousand taels of silver notes, and said: "The ruler of Zongzhou Prefecture once bribed Xiaguan's 10,000 taels of silver. At that time, Xiaguan had just been assassinated. The situation was unclear, so he had to give it a false promise and take it down. He will submit it to Shangguan. If the Chief Secretary believes that Xiaguan is suspected of accepting bribes, Xiaguan is willing to leave the seal and wait for investigation. "

"oh?"

Lai Junchen and Liu Guangye looked at each other and frowned secretly.

To be honest, if Xiao Ye received bribes and refused to report them, this is what they hoped to see. Even if they did not use this to repair Xiao Ye, they could still hold it in their hands as a handle, but they just handed over it...

Is this guy Erleen?

When the censor goes out to handle the case, he will not accept bribes?

Ten thousand taels of silver!

Xiao Ye looked at the two and continued, "There is another matter to be reported to the Central Chief. The King of Monser Lin Lizhen sent the Crown Prince Lin Minzhi to the court to apologize to the Empress Dowager. The lower official has arranged it to be at Sibin Temple. It is not a pity to meet with the foreign vassals. I hope the two adults will report to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible."

The two of them looked at each other.

Retreat to advance?

good!

Very good!

This is a beautiful play!

Originally, even if Lin Lizhen repelled the Five Divine Alliance, it did not mean that he was innocent. After all, Xiao Ye’s file was just a one-sided statement. Is it possible that Lin Lizhen colluded with Tubo, and the other Five Divines discovered his conspiracy and the coalition attacked?

As long as the censors were sent to Wuzhao, Lin Lizhen could be brought down and Xiao Ye could be brought in.

However, the nature of sending the crown prince to apologize to the empress dowager is different, which shows that Lin Li is really open-minded and caters to the empress dowager's desire to be very happy. The empress dowager will almost never investigate the matter of Mengshezhi. If he forced his advice, he would be afraid that the empress dowager would be unhappy.

This guy does things without any loss!
