The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought
Chapter 77: Knowing the slightest thing
After returning home and washing up, Su Xuan found Yan Lingji on the eaves.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Looking at the familiar figure, a hint of surprise flashed in Yan Lingji's eyes.
"Someone is waiting for me specially. If I don't come, won't she be sad?" Su Xuan teased.
"If you want to make your sister sad for you, it's too early." Yan Lingji smiled cunningly. This guy still likes to be self-indulgent as always.
She held her chin with her right hand, placed her slender arms on her knees, and looked at Su Xuan intently, asking curiously, "Do you have the ability to predict the future?"
"Remember the first time we met?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
Yan Lingji nodded slightly, "Everything you said at the beginning has come true."
"is it?"
"Why do I remember there is one that has not been fulfilled?"
Yan Lingji looked at him thoughtfully and puzzledly.
"I remember I said I wanted to be your master, and you said everything has come true. So do you have to call me master?" Su Xuan raised his eyebrows at Yan Lingji.
Looking at Su Xuan's provocative smile, Yan Lingji narrowed her azure eyes slightly, and a ball of fire ignited in her palm, "Do you want to feel the feeling of being burned by fire?"
Su Xuan: (???) Is there such a good thing?
She looked at Su Xuan with a smile on her face, and said seriously, "After you fall asleep, I will set the quilt on your bed on fire."
She has a face like a fairy, but why does her mind look like that of the devil?
Although he knew it was most likely a joke, Su Xuan knew that if he annoyed her, she would really do it.
He stopped there and returned to the main topic.
"Predicting the future does exist." Su Xuan looked up at the starry sky. "Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Yin-Yang School has a Yin-Yang technique called astrology. It predicts the future by observing the changes in the stars on the zodiac star map."
"Does Confucianism also have similar techniques?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.
Su Xuan shook his head. "Confucianism advocates self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country and peace in the world. As for personal destiny, it advocates the theory of destiny."
"The so-called destiny theory means that a person is endowed with a unique destiny and responsibility by God from birth. Everyone should follow the laws and order of destiny, comply with the arrangements of destiny, and do their best to realize their own life value."
Su Xuan thought about it and made an analogy, "It's just like my meeting you. Maybe it was destined. Even if I didn't meet you at the beginning, we would meet at another time and another place."
A destined meeting?
Yan Lingji's heart trembled, and she looked at Su Xuan in a daze.
A burning heart is beating wildly and thumping at this moment.
She clearly felt that her heart was falling step by step when facing him.
She looked up at the starry sky, but the corner of her eyes was always looking at Su Xuan. Her eyes were shimmering and her bright light was brighter than the stars in the sky.
She suddenly began to enjoy such time. The two of them sat quietly on the eaves. He would teach her to identify the stars in the sky. He would tell her some strange stories and interesting stories about the stars, while she would sit beside him, holding her chin and gazing, listening carefully.
Although sometimes I am not so serious and can be narcissistic at times.
But, for some reason, he seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
"As for why I was able to guess what happened today, in the Confucian dictionary, it can be explained by the four words 'seeing the details and knowing the big picture'."
"When King Zhou first inherited the throne, he was extremely brave and worked hard to govern the country. He was deeply loved by the people and his ministers also thought he was a wise ruler. But one time when King Zhou was having a meal, his uncle Jizi came to report. He saw King Zhou eating with ivory chopsticks and was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that something bad was going to happen.
He thought that if King Zhou used ivory chopsticks to eat, then he must have matching tableware. With matching tableware, he would definitely not eat in a simple palace. When King Zhou began to build luxurious palaces and only cared about his own enjoyment, the days of the Shang Dynasty would not last long.
As expected, not long after, King Zhou began to become dissolute and immoral. He built many high palaces, indulged in luxury, and indulged in women all day long. In order to satisfy his own desires, he ignored the advice of his subjects and even killed people for this purpose. In the end, he was conquered by King Wu of Zhou, and the Shang Dynasty was cut off as a result. "
“The so-called seeing the big from the small means that through small things, we can predict the direction of things’ development.”
The reason why Su Xuan told Yan Lingji the story of King Zhou's ivory chopsticks was somewhat related to his junior fellow apprentice Han Fei.
Han Fei's work "Shuo Lin" also said, "The sage sees the beginning of the beginning and the end of the beginning. Therefore, he is frightened by the elephant chopsticks, knowing that the world is not enough."
In the original work, Duke Nan of Chu is a typical example of someone who can see the big picture from the small details. After meeting Xiang Shaoyu, he bluntly said, "Even if there are only three households left in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin."
Why do I say so? In addition to the fact that King Huai of Chu died in Qin and had a deep hatred for Qin, more importantly, Duke Nan of Chu saw that the foundation of the Qin Empire was unstable. Although the six kingdoms were destroyed, the desire for revenge among the remaining people of the six kingdoms has never been extinguished.
Strict laws are a ruthless war machine in times of conflict between nations, but in times of peace, they can cause people to suffer.
The people of Qin might have gotten used to it long ago, but could the people of the six states really endure such harsh laws?
Unrest is inevitable!
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang was in power, no one dared to resist, but when he was not around, the six countries hidden in the dark would no longer be able to suppress their inner desire to make trouble.
This empire existed because of Ying Zheng alone, and it also fell apart because of him.
Su Xuan talked freely, and after he finished, he realized that Yan Lingji had been leaning on his shoulder without him noticing. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was even. Su Xuan called her twice but she didn't respond.
Is this asleep?
Looking at that flawless sleeping face, even if he sees it every day, he will still be amazed.
He looked at her delicate nose and thought it would be fun to pinch her nose and play a trick on her.
Or you can draw a big cat on her face while she is sleeping. When she wakes up tomorrow morning and sees it, her expression will definitely be very funny.
He thought a lot, but in the end he just picked her up gently and brought her back to the room quietly.
After putting Yan Lingji on the bed, he helped her take off her black boots, covered her with the quilt, stood at the head of the bed, and looked at her quietly for a while.
"When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will definitely say that I took advantage of you. It feels a bit unfair just thinking about it."
"In order not to be wronged by you, I have no choice but to take action."
"Okay, I was just kidding you."
Yan Lingji listened to him mumbling quietly beside her, and she narrowed her tightly closed eyes a little and looked at him secretly.
"I'm leaving." Yan Lingji heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and the figure in front of her disappeared.
After confirming that he was really gone, Yan Lingji inexplicably developed a sense of loss in her heart. She lifted the thin quilt and slowly sat up, feeling disappointed and a little regretful.
Damn you, bastard! Are you not tempted at all?
"How many people in this world can resist a beauty like Miss Yan Lingji, whose beauty is enough to seduce the whole world?"
"I think being indifferent is the greatest insult to you."
A gentle laugh sounded in her ears. Yan Lingji turned her head and found Su Xuan standing at the corner of the bed.
A strong arm wrapped around her waist, holding her up, and before she could react, hot lips had already covered her.
She widened her eyes slightly, and was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes slightly, and put her slender arms around Su Xuan's neck, kissing him closely.
The fire in her heart has been completely ignited!
