About half a quarter of an hour later, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, the Han empress Feng Jia slowly came.

Zhang Yue hurried forward to welcome him and said, "My servant Yi Gong asked the Queen for her safety!"

"I am the one who is here..." Empress Wei, with the help of Chunyu Yang, sat down at the top, smiled at Zhang Yue, and ordered to her left and right: "Come here, give the seat to the attendant..."

Zhang Yue then stood up and bowed again, and then, under the service of a eunuch, he sat in the guest seat where Queen Wei was the leader.

Soon someone brought snacks and meat.

"The servants don't have to be restrained!" Queen Wei chuckled softly, "In Changxin Palace, it's like a home..."

"The queen is very kind, I am grateful..." Zhang Yue quickly stood up and thanked him.

"I'm going to invite the Shizhong to come today. I heard that Shizhong had mastered Huang Lao's art and was very knowledgeable about the method of tranquility and inaction, so I asked the Shizhong to come here to give a lecture notes for our palace..." Empress Wei smiled and said, "I don't know if Shizhong can wish?"

"The queen's order is not dare to obey!" Zhang Yue bowed: "It's just that the queen is talented and knowledgeable, so I really don't dare to be the queen's words..."

Queen Wei said: "The Shizhong is too humble, and no one knows that the Shizhong is studying the heavens and men, and is well-versed in the teachings of hundreds of schools of thought, and is well-versed in the arts of Huang, Laozi, Confucianism and Law?"

"Also, I just want to ask the minister to explain some of the contents of the "Tao Te Ching"..."

Zhang Yue listened and said nothing.

The "Tao Te Ching" is the general outline of the Huang-Lao School, with profound meanings and infinite wisdom!

Especially the contemporary "Tao Te Ching" is not the artificially castrated version of later generations.

It is a classic with positive thoughts, high spirits, and full of life wisdom and political wisdom!

For example, in many versions of later generations and today, there is a saying that people use it badly: the best is like water, and water conservancy to all things will not compete.

However, this sentence is wrong in the writings circulated by the Huang-Lao School.

The correct way to read it is: the highest good is like water, and water benefits all things and compete with each other.

The difference between one word and the meaning is completely different.

The former is to make people enjoy their achievements and to be conservative, while the latter has a little bit of competition for things, and the fittest survives, even good waters that benefit all things, there is a struggle.

Otherwise, if water does not fight, how can it gather in rivers and seas?

If the water really doesn’t fight, how can there be a flood? How can there be a tide of rivers and seas?

As wise as I am, how could I write such words that are lazy and unimprovemental?

Do you really think that the Huang-Lao School just lies, waits, and looks to have a prosperous era of literary scenery?

If this is the case, the Han Dynasty will not talk about counterattacking the Huns.

I'm afraid that the Central Plains has now become a place of fishy food.

In fact, Taoism in later generations is two completely different entities from the contemporary Huang-Lao School.

The former is religion, while the latter is a combination of political science, sociology and military science.

Therefore, Zhang Yue was silent.

Because he didn't know whether he should talk to Queen Wei about the real "Tao Te Ching" or the current versions that have been tampered with and distorted by alchemists and charlatans?

The former is obscure and difficult to understand. Even if a person without great wisdom tells him, he may not be able to understand it.

And the latter...

Basically, even the farmers can understand one or two.

Queen Wei looked at Zhang Yue silent and thought he had thoughts in his heart, so she comforted him: "The servants should not be discouraged, just preach..."

As for Wei Kang?

Anyway, I have been kneeling for so long, and it should be fine if I kneel for another hour or two, right?

Now, the key is to win over Zhang Zizhong!

Is it necessary to unzip the beller...

Let's talk about it...

Queen Wei also has health care and self-cultivation needs, and hopes to live longer.

Zhang Yue listened and lowered his head and said, "Unknown Queen, which chapter do you want me to tell?"

The "Tao Te Ching" is commonly known to the world. In fact, these are two works by Lao Tzu, which are combined.

Part A is called the "Tao Jing" and Part B is called the "Tao Jing".

Each piece is about five thousand words, which is combined into about one thousand words.

However, at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, a great alchemist appeared, named Heshanggong, who alienated, deleted, and distorted the ideological program of the Huang-Lao School.

Therefore, the original version of the Taoist Ching of Taoism appeared in later generations.

This Heshang Gong also created the first Taoist sect, Fangxiandao.

It blends and distorts some of the Laozi and Zhuangzi's theories and the thoughts of Yin and Yang families, advocates refining alchemy to nourish qi, seeking immortality from birth, and long-lasting vision.

What I am talking about is that I am a fairy queen, and I don’t care about the flood.

As for later generations, the 81 articles of the "Tao Te Ching" that are well-known to people are not yet in shape.

So, Queen Wei listened and was very curious and asked, "The Tao Te Ching is still divided into chapters? Why hasn't I heard of it?"

Zhang Yue listened and smiled and said, "I dare not hide it from the Empress. The Tao Te Ching I have read since I was a child is divided into the Tao Jing and the "Tao Jing". The former describes the way of sages in governing the world to cultivate one's own health, while the latter describes the virtues of sages and sages in the inner world and the king who is dominating the outside world!"

"It is a learning to cultivate oneself, govern the country, manage the family and prosper the world..."

Queen Wei listened and looked confused.

This cannot be blamed on her.

In fact, after Yuan Guang, with the death of Empress Dowager Dou, the Huang-Lao School entered a very embarrassing state.

As a result, scholars gradually withered and elites gradually faded.

Later, due to the rebellion of King Liu An of Huainan, Lu Bushu almost killed all the remaining elites in one fell swoop.

The remnants had to sneak into the Confucian ranks and pretend to be Confucian scholars.

He even fell into the world of alchemists and sorcerers, becoming the pioneer of Taoism.

The old politician Huang, who was once close to the center of power, died of illness in Huaiyang and withered cleanly.

There has been no real Huang-Lao scholar in the Han court for at least thirty years.

On the contrary, all kinds of alchemists and sorcerers, who were just a scattered person, mingled in the palace.

Queen Wei was born in the bottom class, but the singer of the Pingyang Hou Mansion had never received much education since she was a child. When she became the queen, the elites of the Huang-Lao School had long disappeared.

When she was old, the only version of the Tao Te Ching she could find was the one used by the alchemist and sorcerers to make the note.

Therefore, bad money successfully drove out good money.

In the original history, the Huang-Lao School and their ideological propositions have withered and broken. No one has ever heard of the so-called famous scholars in the Jin Dynasty who talked about mystery and Taoism. These trashers are not even qualified to carry shoes to Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wang Ling, Zhang Cang!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yue became excited.

Why did the Huang-Lao School and Huang-Lao Thought in the Han Dynasty take charge of the first sixty years?

In addition to the support and support of famous founding officials, the support of the Empress Dowagers is also crucial!

Empress Lv, Empress Bo and Empress Dou were both firm supporters and defenders of Huang-Lao’s thoughts.

If Empress Wei can influence Empress Wei, let Empress Wei accept Huang Lao's thoughts...

Maybe it will turn the tables...

At the very least, it can bring back Huang Lao's thoughts and leave seeds for future generations.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue looked at Queen Wei seriously and asked again: "Unknown Queen, do you want to listen to the way to govern the world and cultivate one's health, or is it the inner sage and the outer king, the inner king and the outer dominance?"

When Empress Wei heard this, she looked around and found that no one understood. Then she thought about it herself and said, "I'll ask the servant to talk about the way to govern the world and cultivate one's health..."

The inner saint and the outer king are the inner king and the outer domineering, this kind of thing is too complicated.

Queen Wei doesn't want to touch these things now.

Zhang Yue listened, smiled slightly, and said, "Old Master said: Tao can be said! It is extraordinary Tao! Name can be named, it is extraordinary name. None is named the beginning of all things, there is, it is called the mother of all things..."

Queen Wei listened, and a light gradually flashed in her eyes.

Especially after chewing it carefully, she was deeply attracted by the thoughts and artistic conception.

At her age, at this level.

What you need is no longer a means of competing for favor, fighting for beauty, or using bad methods.

Instead, cultivating virtue and nurturing hope is to unite the top and bottom, making friends with court officials, being stable and sedimentary.

What Zhang Yue said is profound and endless. The more you think about it, the more you feel it, and the more you listen to it, the more you make sense.

After listening to the opening words that Zhang Yue said, Empress Wei sighed: "What you said seems to be completely different from what I have heard in the past, and it has a different meaning..."

Although, it is just a few words, and it is even a sequence adjustment.

But what is revealed is very different.

In the past, Empress Wei was always surprised that although the "Tao Te Ching" is also a theory of truth and a good word.

But I always feel a little awkward, which is not very consistent with my true intentions.

Now, Queen Wei finally knows why this is the case.

The Tao Te Ching in the past talked about not fighting, not doing, not fighting.

Everything is precious, harmony is the most important thing.

This makes her feel the same way is called seeing a ghost!

She is Wei Zifu, who became the queen of Wei Zifu.

Born in the family slave family of Pingyang Hou, he was a lowly daughter whom he didn't even know that his father was.

It is because of her own wisdom, wrists and planning that she has reached the position of Queen of Han today. She has experienced more than a dozen beautiful women who are younger, beautiful, gentle, considerate, smart and skillful, and have a challenge from all over the world. She is still firmly in the position of the queen!

It's not the kind of silly white sweet who was born with a golden key in his arms and had a smooth journey.

Her life is a history book of struggle.

Fight with people, fight with heaven, fight with court officials.

She is a woman who defeated her own destiny and changed her life.

Nowadays, although I am old, I want to cultivate myself and change my image, and create a kind, kind and virtuous personality.

but……

He is also unwilling to bow his head to others easily and retreat in the face of pressure and threats.

Pretend she can do it.

But nature cannot be changed!

Now, what Zhang Yue said is opening a new door for her.

So, there is such an operation?

So, can you do this?!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

Endless use and all kinds of skills!

The "Tao Te Ching" is indeed a famous saying that the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty has highly praised!

This made Queen Wei feel really enjoyable and very much agree.

Zhang Yue listened to the respectful answer: "The Queen doesn't know anything. Lao Tzu's original intention is to explain the great way of the Book of Changes, explain the principles of all things, and understand the way of all ages!"

"And the Book of Changes says: Heaven moves vigorously and gentlemen are self-improvement, and the earth is Kun and gentlemen are kind to carry things. Therefore, if there is a hidden dragon, do not use it. If you see a dragon in the field, a rising dragon in the sky, and you will regret it when you see a dragon in the sky!"

"Lao Tzu knew it, so he wrote the two scriptures of "My destiny" and explained that it was not a fight, all things were fighting, and the way of natural choice..."

Queen Wei listened, nodded and said, "I first realized that there are the most good words and the most rational words in the world!"

Obviously, history has proved that the empresses of the Han Dynasty and the empress dowagers have zero immunity in the face of Huang-Lao’s thoughts and Huang-Lao’s theory!

They are naturally easy to accept and understand Huang-Lao's thoughts.

Because every generation of empress and empress dowager from Empress Lü has won the competition between people, heaven, and the world, and then reached the peak of power.

For them, Huang Lao’s thought is not just a programmatic guiding ideology.

It is also a spiritual pillar and a source of faith.

As long as you contact, there is no reason to refuse.

Not only the Huang-Lao School needs them, but they also need guidance and guidance of Huang-Lao’s thoughts.

So, Empress Wei completely threw Wei Kang behind her head and seriously asked Zhang Yue about Huang Lao's moral theory, the method of tranquility, inaction and action.

Zhang Yue naturally did not miss the opportunity and specifically chose something that could resonate with Queen Wei.

For example, "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know" "Governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and using the way to conquer the world." Of course, they also deliberately do not say some incorrect words and bypass those philosophical ideas that may reverse history.

However, Queen Wei kept nodding and her desire for knowledge increased dramatically.

So, the poor Wei Kang knelt from morning until noon at the entrance of the Jiaofang Hall.

My eyes were dizzy when I was kneeling, my knees were swollen, and I felt numb.

Finally, I couldn't hold on anymore. With a click, I fell to the ground and became a dead dog.
Chapter completed!
