The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 155 War and Peace ([-])
After hearing Li Mi say "Brahma One Dream", Cao Wei's celebrities present all flushed and their eyes lit up after a short shock, as if they had been injected with chicken blood collectively!

Since the early days of the reign of Cao Fang, the third emperor of Cao Wei, the mainstream thinking of Cao Wei has gradually changed.Legalism, which emphasizes practicality, and Confucianism, which advocates active participation in the world, no longer occupy the mainstream.What occupies the mainstream is metaphysics.

There are many definitions of metaphysics, so I won’t go into details here.As a regime, when metaphysics became the mainstream of the country's top leaders, what was the resulting impact?The most crude and straightforward statement is: a group of middle and high-level national officials who should be devoting themselves to the national economy and people's livelihood go to work every day and don't talk about secular matters such as taxes, money and food.Only talk about the origin of the universe, the essence of life, the ultimate care of civilization and other lofty philosophical issues.As for the country's problems, who will handle the specific affairs?Servants, sluts, or people who do these things, will automatically be regarded as scumbags and sluts by this group of "philosophers".

Therefore, after Li Mi said "Brahma One Dream", he immediately felt a sense of intoxication of "enlightenment" for the celebrities of Cao Wei who were thinking hard about the origin of things.

All of a sudden, countless stag tails waved, and many celebrities in the banquet hall stood up one after another, but after looking at each other, everyone still bowed their hands to a middle-aged man in his 40s, expressing humility.

There is no other, because this person's surname is Xiang Mingxiu and Ziqi is one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.He was forced out of office by Sima Zhao after Ji Kang was killed by the Sima family.His character is intact and he is famous, so who dares to fight with him?
"Just now Ling Bo Brahma had a dream, and Yu Xiushi suddenly stopped drinking (Buddhism is not yet prosperous in China at this time, and there is no such word as enlightenment), so dare to ask Ling Bo, what is the foundation? What is the end? What is it?" Why is there, why is there not?"

The question of what is and what is not is one of the main topics of metaphysical thought.If this question is placed in modern times, this question is not a problem at all. It is the easiest to answer from the perspective of utilitarianism: the important thing is the basic, and the unimportant is the last.What I control is existence, and everything I cannot control is nothing.

But in this day and age, the way everyone talks is illusory, so I can't answer so bluntly.

Li Mi smiled slightly: "Whatever is not the end is the root, what is not the root is the end, what is not there is what is there, what is not there is what is not."

Make no mistake about it, it's all bullshit.But in this era, this kind of nonsense is the most popular!

"Wonderful, it turns out that this problem can be solved in this way. I have been obsessed with a certain word, but I didn't know that I could talk about it in this way... Ling Bo, show respect."

"Then may I ask Boss Ling, which is better, with or without?" It was Ren Kai who stood up and asked the question.From Qingzhou.Politically, this person is Jia Chong's political opponent.In terms of academic thinking, this person's thinking is close to that of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove: noble and nothing.

The so-called nothing, of course, is relative to being.What is there is actually teaching by name.What is nothing is respect for nature.Nobleness, of course, is relative to existence, and nothingness is respected.This is in line with the tenet of Taoism to follow nature.But this kind of thinking has a very dangerous sign-excessive nobility will cause people to take reality less seriously and live in their own spiritual world for a long time.If such a person is just an ordinary person, he is nothing more than a psychopath.But when the ruling class of a country generally respects such ideas, the country will either die quickly (Western Jin Dynasty) or nonsense (Eastern Jin Dynasty).

"Hehehe" Li Mi said to Ren Kai: "Because I am close to being poisoned in Yizhou, I occasionally come into contact with the opinions of local experts. There was once an expert who said: "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently. It causes dust. However, some masters said: Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can the dust be aroused.”

You so-called "naturalists" are all fucking weak, and you actually say "natural", then you still fall into the lower category of "yes".In my opinion, none of these things exist, even nature does not exist, that is a complete "nothing!"

The two verses Li Mi said, of course, came from the time traveler.The time traveler borrowed, of course, from Huineng, an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Buddhism had been introduced to China for hundreds of years.But Buddhism in this era is still slowly adapting to China's national conditions: for example, the Chinese people's ancestor worship is something that Buddhism itself does not have.Therefore, Buddhism at this time did not have much influence in China.

The prosperity of Buddhism in China came in the period of the Five Husbands. On the one hand, he adapted to China's national conditions and made adjustments and changes by himself.On the other hand, it absorbs the dialectical essence of Wei and Jin metaphysics, making itself more logical (improving the style again).At the same time, due to the tragic wars in that era, ordinary people urgently needed spiritual beliefs.The rulers of various countries also need Buddhism to stabilize their rule, so they vigorously promote it... All these things make Buddhism flourish in China.

Having said so much, there is actually one meaning: Li Mi took advantage of the time traveler and took the things that metaphysics had developed to its peak to slap these stupid birds in the era of metaphysics in its infancy!It's no wonder this group of so-called celebrities stopped kneeling!
Sure enough, after Li Mi uttered these two verses, not only Ren Kai, but all the famous people present were too excited.Many younger celebrities stood up and bowed to Li Mi one after another: "Listen to Ling Bo's words, and you will benefit for life. Please accept my worship, Master Li!"

"Hehehe, I don't dare to take it. Everyone, Li Mi is just picking up people's teeth."

"The first one is the teacher. Master Li doesn't have to be too modest. I would like to ask Master Li to explain the confusion for us. Dare I ask Master Li, if Bodhi is not a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand, then what is this heart?"

"I don't dare to be the teacher of the great sages. Regarding Yuan Bao's question, I would like to ask you a question. Everyone, it is windy in winter night, and the flag is flying fiercely on the flagpole outside. Dare I ask, is it the wind or the flag?" Woolen cloth?"

"Of course the flag is moving, no, the wind is moving, no, no, no, no..."

"Hehehe, everyone, in Li Mi's opinion, it's not the wind, nor the flag, but the heart."

The coercive style was raised again, and now even Jia Chong stood up in surprise and bowed to Li Mi.

"Fortunately, the prefect told me many examples before teaching me these things. Otherwise, I would be addicted to these illusory things and couldn't extricate myself. But these boring topics are of no use in solving practical affairs! Well, You just continue to roll on the avenue of nothingness. You need to know that once the concept of 'nothing beyond your heart' is proposed, you celebrities, I am afraid, will become even more wild and unrestrained."

Just as Li Mi was deep in thought, the eyes of the Cao Wei celebrities present were already red.Some young people who are not deep in the city already have tears in their eyes, and they are muttering words like "death is enough to hear the Tao in the morning".

After everyone bowed to Li dense body again, Li Mi returned the salute.Then he sighed deeply and said: "Everyone, although you say that there is nothing outside your heart, Li Mi is showing signs today. You need to know that Zhuangzi said that he responded well without saying anything. Laozi said that arguing is not as silent. As the saying goes, the way can be said, It’s very Taoist. If you can really say the truth of the world with your mouth, then it’s not a great way. That’s all, Li Mi bids farewell!”

Li Mi got up, and Ma Jie, who was smiling and simple and in a completely stupid state, followed naturally, and left gracefully amidst the admiration for Master Li.

……

It was late at night, but in a study room of Xiangguo Mansion, candlelight was burning, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Sima Yan and others were listening to Jia Chong's detailed report on tonight's banquet.

"This envoy from Xishu has a vicious heart." After hearing Jia Chong's report, Sima Zhao's eyes turned cold and his face was serious.After a long sigh, he finally spit out these words.

Why do you say that?This is because, among the senior officials of Cao Wei, metaphysics has begun to rise.But it is still in an exploratory stage overall, and many theories are still immature.And what Li Mi said tonight is to ripen this thought in advance.

Moreover, it is different from the metaphysics thought in the late stage of development, there are two schools of Youguiwu and Guiyou.What Li Mi emphasized at the banquet was Guiwu.

What will happen if such an idea matures prematurely?

First, there is nothing outside of the mind.What I have seen and encountered actually does not exist.So I don't have to care about them.As long as I have peace of mind, nothing can disturb me—well, we don't treat each other as human beings anymore.Whether it is the superior emperor or the common people, even the closest relatives, everything is an illusion.

Second, Dao can be very Dao.Anything that can be explained clearly is not a great way, but a lowly one.So in the future, everyone will speak, in order not to lower the standard.You have to talk nonsense and empty talk, otherwise you will be looked down upon.

You said, once such a trend becomes mainstream.How does this country work?

(By the way, this is the mainstream thinking of the later Jin Dynasty. The traversers here are just ripening in advance. Metaphysics has developed to the extreme, and you can only kill yourself.)
The Sima family is of Confucian origin and believes in joining the world.Originally, I couldn't pee with these so-called celebrities who like metaphysics.What's more, the Sima family is now in charge of the country, if all the ministers under him are doing these fake things all day long, what should the country do?
"Hey, Jian Wushuang's words are sharp, and Li Lingbo's thinking is unparalleled. Is the talent in the small country of Western Shu so prosperous?"

After another long sigh, Sima Zhao said to Jia Chong: "Arrange them to go to the Chinese military academy tomorrow, and let these Shu thieves see the strength of my Chinese army! I don't believe it, the literary ones can't be suppressed, and the military ones can't do it either." ? Gonglu, let Wen Chu go into battle tomorrow!"
