Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 285 Leaving the Xia Dynasty and traveling around the world

"What? I haven't seen you in these years, don't you recognize me?"

Gu Dan's expression remained unchanged.

His disguise technique can be said to be the pinnacle, especially the medical one. I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with him. His understanding and understanding of the human body is far beyond that of people in this era.

So make some small changes, all seem very natural.

Of course, he didn't do anything too outrageous, it's just that his face has a little more wrinkles and his hair is a little grayer.

Although it doesn't look as young as it used to be at first glance, but if you really confuse it with the word 'old', it's really not true.

"no no."

Wang Mang shook his head again and again, fixed his eyes on Gu Dan's cheek, and turned his hair several times, the expression on his face was full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

So Gu Ge will grow old too?
Ever since Gu Dan was promoted to Grand Master, his appearance has been almost constant. After so many years of getting along, everyone has gradually gotten used to it and even accepted it.

Even a master can't stop aging, but aging is much slower than normal people, but in Gu Dan's body, this slow change has never been seen.

Only when you see your aging self in the bronze mirror, can you suddenly realize that time does not seem to pass by Gu Dan.

Now that he suddenly saw such a big change in Gu Dan, Wang Mang was naturally startled.

He once felt that until he let go, Gu Dan's face would not change in any way.

"You came back yourself?"

Wang Mang, who didn't know what to say, asked subconsciously.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he wanted to slap himself.

In fact, it was Gu Dan who was amazed by the changes that normal people should have experienced, so that he didn't even have much room to think about speaking.

"Ah."

Gu Dan nodded slightly.

"The prime minister is too tired, it's better to take a rest."

Wang Mang tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face. There was sadness, but not too much.

Because he also felt that his body was starting to feel more and more powerless.

Back then, I could only sleep for two hours a day, and even review memorials overnight, and still be in good spirits the next day.

But now that he is dealing with official duties normally, occasionally he will have troubled thoughts.

His age is approaching eighty.

A life of seventy has been rare since ancient times, how many people can live to be a hundred years old?

Even warriors who have mastered viscera can't break through the clear but invisible boundary. Shouyuan is actually not much different from ordinary people. It's just that the spirit is better, but it doesn't mean that it will be able to live for a long time.

Wang Mang knew in his heart that his limit might not be far away.

Time never kills with a sharp knife, it only cuts heavily on the traces bit by bit.

"In the years since you left, Xun Ke has also done a lot of things, as well as Xiaoying, who is now in charge of overseeing the affairs of the Xia Dynasty Medical Center."

Wang Mang sat opposite the stone table, as if reporting work, and told Gu Dan about the changes he had never seen in these years.

On the whole, the Xia Dynasty is stable and improving, the lives of the people are getting richer and richer, and the living conditions are also steadily improving.

Although Gu Dan is not in the temple, we can see some clues from the fact that the common people have leisure and spare money to participate in various festivals-in the big moon, this kind of celebration has always been just a plaything for a small number of people .

If you can't even eat enough, no one cares about what kind of meaning you give to the festival.

Only after securing their own lives, can most people have the leisure and mood to find some joy in their lives.

Gu Dan listened silently, Wang Mang never talked about himself, but only told about the achievements of others.

But among the people, the name of the holy king is already being praised.

The Holy King is Xun Ke's highest praise for the emperor, not a specific one.

But it is also a great thing to be able to make people spontaneously put this kind of name on their bodies.

At least in Gu Dan's memory, the last person to do this was Mo Qiu.

But what major event did Wang Mang do?

No.

It has been 48 years since the Xia Dynasty, and there is nothing worthy of a special mention except for the distribution of people into the mu.

Gu Dan even strongly demanded that the land be allocated to the mu.

If you strip this matter away, you will be surprised to find that in the Xia Dynasty, there are hardly many traces of the emperor Wang Mang.

In other words, his traces are nothing more than a matter of course such as the appointment of so-and-so.

Isn't this the function that the emperor himself should have?
But he is so powerful because he can subtly put people in just the right position.

For so many years, Gu Dan has never heard of Wang Mang's extraordinary deeds among the people.

Some words of praise are nothing more than ears can hear cocoons: hard work and love for the people, hard work in governance, simple life, construction of water conservancy, etc. A lot of nonsense praises.

It seems that there is not a word that can make a conclusion about the achievements of the Emperor Xia.

He has a little bit of everything, but each one is so inconspicuous that he often ignores it, and even forgets that there is such a Xia Emperor in the Xia Dynasty.

If the history of the current Xia Dynasty is fixed, then the first half of the Xia Dynasty must be Moqiu and Mohism, and the second half is Mohism and Confucianism. There is no emperor in the middle!
As an emperor, Wang Mang seemed to have no sense of existence.

This is a great thing.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

Although dry wood and raging fire are high-spirited and intense, it is inevitable that they will not last.

The long flow of fine water is warm and silent, but it can accumulate silently and thrive.

At the beginning, the national policy adopted by Emperor Da Yuezong Ming was called governance by inaction, but his inaction was only concerned with himself.

However, Wang Mang's method is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Zongming, the difference is that he completely let go of himself.

It's not easy, especially in that position.

Keep a promise, ninety-five supreme!
In this position, who doesn't want to do a vigorous career?

Who doesn't want their name to remain in the history and be extolled by future generations?
Some guys wish they could make some big deeds every year, and enshrine a Zen to tell the gods of heaven and earth, so that future generations can recite and remember their own merits, and in the end they just fall into the soil and rot.

For so many years, the Xia Dynasty is indeed growing stronger and stronger, and even became the most powerful country around it 20 years earlier, but even today, Gu Dan has never heard of any well-known auspicious signs appearing in the Xia Dynasty .

The Mohists talk about Tianzhi and Minggui.

Tianzhi is to understand the natural laws of all things, and to understand ghosts is the reward and punishment that falls on the human world during the change and operation of the supreme rule.

Wang Mang implemented this point very well.

Although he supports Confucianism, he has always demanded himself according to the Mohist's regulations, but he has not done so extremely.

In this silent persistence, in the passing of nearly fifty years, the people are not blind or foolish after all.

The emperor stopped looking for a sense of existence for himself, but began to be remembered and recited by others.

There is no need for complicated ceremonies, and no large-scale canonization of righteous words. He silently guards his people, and the people begin to appreciate his kindness.

Gu Dan looked at Wang Mang who was already very old, and heard him praise others, his eyes seemed to pass through the curtains, and he saw him who was working hard behind the scenes.

"You are a good emperor."

When Wang Mang had said almost the same thing and brought the tea to drink, Gu Dan said.

"what?"

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, the tea in his hand rippled a little, and splashed on the ground, kicking off droplets of dust.

"You are a good emperor."

Gu Dan repeated.

"what?"

Wang Mang seemed quite surprised, why did Brother Gu say this suddenly?
But his reaction couldn't deceive anyone, the corners of his mouth lifted up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the horizontal wrinkles on his face were stacked together, like small hills made up of layers of ravines, turning into waves one after another, forming a smile.

"It will be praised by the people and become a model for future generations."

After walking around Cang's side, Gu Dan began to affirm everyone, "You did a good job."

"ah."

Wang Mang's face almost burst into a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, his gray hair was trembling constantly, shaking his head.

Is this what it feels like to be praised by a great master?
It's like wanting to become a fairy!
This kind of happiness is unimaginable to ordinary people!
"Is there any more? Say a few more words!"

Wang Mang urged.

"."

After a brief silence, Gu Dan pointed out the door, "Get lost."

"Got it."

Wang Mang actually got off the stone bench and rolled around on the ground, covered in dust, but he didn't care, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and went out.

Looking at Wang Mang who seemed to be insane, the corners of Gu Dan's mouth twitched slightly, "This old boy!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Dan poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.

He stared at the empty yard, listening to the continuous chirping of cicadas.

There was no movement for a long time.

A few days after Wang Mang left, Qin Lisheng visited Gu's courtyard.

"A rare visitor!"

When he saw Qin Lisheng, who had a dark complexion and was even better than Mo Qiu, Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gongshang Guo is too busy to touch the ground, this one is amazing, he can't find anyone.

In the land of the Xia Dynasty, there was Kyushu. This giant of the Mohist family led the Mohist to measure the morality of the world with his footsteps. He never had a leisure time.

It is also because of him that the Mohism's dogma is no longer a simple dogma, but a group of people who practice it are proving that the Mohism's requirements can be fulfilled.

"Mr. Gu, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

After seeing Gu Dan, Qin Lisheng didn't exchange greetings, he has always been like this, straightforward and unabashed.

"Farewell?"

Gu Dan was slightly taken aback, he really didn't expect this.

If you didn't go to the Buzhou Mountains ten years ago, you will run over at this time?
As far as the grandmaster's longevity is concerned, it's not impossible, but it seems quite extravagant.

But as soon as Qin Lisheng's words came out of his mouth, Gu Dan knew that he wanted to go wrong.

"Yes, the Xia Dynasty is now extremely powerful. Even ordinary people can eat a meal of meat for seven days if it's not a disaster year, and even a disaster year is enough to satisfy their hunger."

Qin Lisheng continued: "The most basic mission of the Mohists in the Xia Dynasty has been completed, but there are still many places that need the help of the Mohists."

"You want to travel around the world?"

Gu Dan understood.

This incident is actually very common, especially among the great masters. For example, Yang Zhu traveled to the Xia Dynasty, briefly participated in a discussion, and then went further away.

It shouldn't be surprising that these people are wandering around the world like duckweed, and each has his or her own reasons, or is looking for them.

In any country, as long as the unforgivable crime is not overturned, the master can stay or stay at will.

But the problem is that Qin Lisheng is not an ordinary master, he is still a Mohist giant.

Mohist giant, leave the Xia Dynasty!

Who ever thought about this matter?
Wang Mang has cultivated the Xia Dynasty for nearly [-] years, so why not Qin Lisheng?
As the unknown successor of Mo Qiu, a sage in the world, many people have much higher requirements for Qin Lisheng than the emperor.

But Qin Lisheng perfectly took over the Mohist school with his own ability and belief.

In his hands, no one can say that the Mo family is unqualified, even compared with Mo Qiu.

The difference is that he doesn't have as many great deeds as Mo Qiu.

And the most important thing is that Mo Qiu inherits the past and inspires the latter. Even if the latecomers can do the same things as Mo Qiu, they are just successors. The sun chasers are always covered in brilliance, which is normal.

After so many years, the Mohist giant has already deserved his name, there is no doubt about it.

Even the Confucianism, which is very different from the Mohist school, dare not say that the Mohist school has a problem with their personal morality. They can only say that the Mohist school's requirements are too high and unrealistic.

Many people in the Xia Dynasty have taken the existence of the Mohism for granted, just like having a court and an emperor, how could there be no Mohism?
And now, Qin Lisheng is leaving.

In other words, he wants to lead the Mohists and spread the spirit of the Mohists.

"Not bad."

Qin Lisheng nodded, "Besides the Xia Dynasty, there is Daqi, and there are other countries besides Daqi, even if the master has been walking for ten years, there is still a Buzhou Mountain Range there.

That being the case, how can the Mohism be confined to one place?Pearls are precious, but hiding them loses their own value. "

Qin Lisheng was still so straightforward, even when he praised the Mohists, he always behaved like this, making people question him without any reason.

"I thought you would have another discussion with Confucianism."

Gu Dan was a little surprised, but if anyone in the entire Xia Dynasty could most accept the departure of the Mo family, that person might be him.

"Ha. There are many reasons. We have been shouting about the morality of the Mohist school for 60 years. What the Mohist school wants is to practice, not to argue with words."

Qin Lisheng said indifferently: "Confucianism certainly has something worthy of praise, but how can the brilliance of the grass be better than the bright moon? We want to shine in all directions, not take root in one place."

Although in the territory of the Xia Dynasty, Mohism was "retreating steadily" against Confucianism, but putting aside this fact, only in terms of reputation, Confucianism really had to fall back a little bit.

This Mohist giant is stubborn and conceited, but he has the capital of stubbornness and self-confidence, which makes people feel ashamed.

"Ok."

Being emotional and reasonable, Gu Dan had no reason to refuse, "But before I leave, I have a gift for you."

"what?"

Qin Lisheng was inevitably curious about what Gu Dan could call a gift.

"Grandmaster."
