1637 Strange People and Strange Things
There are still some differences between the naming of ancient people and modern times. The names of ancient people mostly placed parents' hopes for their children's future.
Therefore, ancient names have a lot of meanings about virtue, benevolence, Ming, and Zhao, which means that parents hope that their children will be virtuous, wise, and sober. This is not like modern times, where they are mostly about Xuan, Zi, Hao, and Ran, which means that parents hope that their children will be great builders.
Worker-like.
Zhao Ji is by no means stupid.
If you are stupid, how can you create a thin golden body and pass it on to the world?
Most of the things passed down by the kings of the past dynasties are whitewashed records, but Zhao Ji is unique, so the meaning of Zhao Ji's words is also clear.
Zhao Mingcheng’s name is Mingcheng, but are you really sincere?
Zhao Mingcheng was speechless.
There was silence in Lanxiuxuan.
Not many people could understand Zhao Ji's meaning. Even Li Yan was a little confused when he heard Zhao Ji's words, because he never thought that Zhao Ji would wake up.
How could Zhao Ji, who was sober, send Chen Dong to jail?
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the power of God is unpredictable. But a king who receives this kind of evaluation may have an unstable character, or may go astray in his power.
Li Yan saw that the emperor remained calm and could not figure out the emperor's intention.
This is an extremely rare thing for him.
Over the years, they have had a thorough understanding of Zhao Ji's character - this is an emperor who does not know the sufferings of the people and does whatever he wants. This is also an emperor who is unrestrained in his talents and has a very high self-esteem.
Because they did not know the hardships of the people, many of Zhao Ji's wills were divorced from reality. The final right of interpretation belonged to Li Yan and others. The explanations only needed to make Zhao Ji sound like they were thinking of Zhao Ji.
Because he has a high self-esteem, it is difficult for Zhao Ji to listen to criticism. There is a secret that Zhao Ji and his ministers are familiar with - the emperor is always right! Everything they have to show must be to maintain the emperor's correctness.
As long as you do this, you will be successful!
Li Yan donated tens of thousands of hectares of land and finally sent Chen Dong to prison. He felt really sad in his heart, but he did this out of necessity.
Now Zhao Ji seems to be on the right path - the path he often takes, but Li Yan still can't feel at ease because he finds that the emperor seems to be no different from before, but also very different.
Where did the problem occur? Li Yan couldn't figure it out.
After a long while, Zhao Ji turned to look at Zhang Jixian, "I still remember that the Taoist priest and I had many conversations."
Zhang Jixian just smiled and said, "I wonder which sentence the Holy One said?"
Zhao Ji didn't show his joy or anger, but said: "When I first met the Taoist priest, I asked him if he lived in Longhu Mountain and had he seen dragons and tigers before..."
Zhang Jixian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Ji said slowly, "I still remember what the Taoist Master said - tigers are common in mountains, and today we can see the dragon's face."
Li Yanwei felt disdainful.
From his point of view, Zhang Jixian's behavior back then seemed like he was just doing what he wanted.
Zhang Jixian did not deny that, "The Holy Spirit has a wonderful memory and what he said is absolutely correct."
Zhao Ji stared at Zhang Jixian for a long time, and then said: "I asked the Taoist priest - where does the spirit come from?"
Zhang Jixian replied calmly, "Where God resides, the spirit comes from it."
Shen Yue remained silent, but he could see all the subtle changes in Lan Xiuxuan.
Zhao Ji and Zhang Jixian recalled the past, seemingly reminiscing about the past, but we can see the changes in Zhao Ji.
When Zhang Jixian met Zhao Ji, he must have known that he and Zhao Ji were destined to be destined, so he said a few polite words. Zhao Ji at that time naturally took it seriously.
Zhao Ji was used to hearing praises, so he naturally felt that he was destined by heaven.
Now Zhao Ji is recalling this incident again, which shows that he is sorting out his past.
The past contains not only pleasure and pain, but also experience!
What Zhang Jixian said - where God resides, the spirit comes from it, is definitely the correct Taoist solution.
As long as a person has sufficient energy and spirit, his spirituality will naturally flourish, but it is not that easy to achieve sufficient energy and spirit.
Zhang Jixian saw that Zhao Ji was silent and said: "But where does the god come from? It has been explained in the scriptures. It is nothing more than tranquility and nothingness, and the true energy comes from it."
Shen Yue thought that Zhang Jixian's cultivation method was definitely the right path and it also upheld the true meaning of Taoism.
It sounds simple, but regardless of Buddhism, the practice of Dharma has always been so simple. It is ridiculous that people in the world abandon the true words like worn-out shoes, and instead try hard to seek supernatural powers from other heretical ways.
Zhang Jixian also saw the change in Zhao Ji, so he said a few more words about spiritual practice than before.
Medicine and medicine are immortal, Taoism and Buddha are destined to be equal!
If Zhao Ji understands it, he will naturally study it. If he doesn't understand it, no matter how much he talks to Zhao Ji, he is just playing the piano to others.
There are indeed many kings in the past who have sought immortality, but most of the kings are interested in dual cultivation of joy and the secret skills of the house, which have nothing to do with the emptiness of Tianxian. It is normal to die early.
Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for your advice."
Li Yan was a little anxious, wondering what Zhang Jixian was going to do, but although he was proficient in calligraphy and painting, he still had little understanding of Taoist language, and it was even harder to agree with it.
Why?
Because Taoism emphasizes purity of heart and few desires, what he asked Zhao Ji to do was to "serve his heart and go against the happiness". If Zhao Ji was indifferent and nihilistic, his subordinates would naturally have to follow suit. Zhao Ji was incorruptible. How could his subordinates dare to be greedy? What else can Li Yan do?
Zhao Ji added: "I think that when Sai was born in the first month of the month, the Taoist priest once said - Before the Red Emperor marched against the dragon, Chang'e entered the deep mountains in different parts of the moon."
Shen Yue's heart remained unmoved, as he felt that these two sentences had extraordinary profound meanings.
Red Emperor? Not lying down? Chang'e divides the moon?
Does this have anything to do with Zhao Ji, Sai Yue and Chu Yue?
But why did Zhao Ji suddenly talk about Sai Yue?
Zhang Jixian nodded to indicate that Zhao Ji was right.
Zhao Ji said slowly, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don't understand what the Taoist Master meant by this."
Zhang Jixian smiled and said, "If you don't understand, you will never understand. There is no point in thinking hard. When you understand, you will understand naturally, and you will have true enlightenment. The truth is just words, so don't worry about it, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ji stared at Zhang Jixian and said word by word, "Then when the Heavenly Master saw the picture of Magu I drew, he once said - The water in Penglai is shallow, and the clear water is like mulberry fields. Is this an unintentional statement?"
After hearing this, Shen Yue thought to himself that Zhao Ji had finally begun to think carefully.
Magu, also known as the Shouxian Empress in Taoism, claims to have "seen the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times."
It is difficult to find out whether this statement is an exaggeration or not, but everyone thinks that Magu is really a longevity star, just like the legendary Peng Zu.
What Zhang Jixian said was not a birthday wish, but a graceful point out that the world is about to change!
At that time, Zhao Ji didn't know the profound meaning of Zhang Jixian's words, but now that he thinks about it, it really has an extraordinary flavor.
Zhang Jixian pondered for a moment before saying, "If you listen with a heart, you will naturally have a heart. If you listen without a heart, it will be a waste of time."
He looked like he hadn't said anything, but Zhao Ji thought about it for a long time and suddenly laughed and said, "The Taoist priest's magical words really woke up the dreamer."
Zhang Jixian smiled.
Zhao Ji then added, "I still remember that back then, the Taoist Master did something that shocked me."
