Chapter 93 Shocking Li Shimin's Ability
Knowing that they can still be little Taoist priests with peace of mind in the future, the little guys also gave up listening to Luo Yan and their master's nonsense, and continued to enjoy the snacks brought by Luo Yan.

As for the Xu Zhi brothers, they talked with Luo Yan about some folk customs.

Time passed quickly. After a brief lunch and some chatting, it was the time agreed by Luo Yan and the driver.After Luo Yan and Xu Zhi said goodbye, they went down the mountain all the way, just in time for the driver to drive down the mountain.This is great, finally there is no need to wait for the carriage to arrive in this cold weather.Sitting in the car, he hurried back to Chang'an City.

Luo Yan also felt a little more emotional because of the matter of Xuzhi several people.

In any case, religion will always be firmly in the hands of the rulers.Li Yuan also said: "The Dao is big and the Buddha is small, let's get old first and then release." However, he still doesn't deal with the uncontrolled religion.Just like now, considering that people from all over the country opened temples everywhere, even if they respected Lao Tzu as their ancestor, Li Yuan still let Taoism lie down and get shot.

Back in the Lu Mansion, Luo Yan specifically asked Lu Deming to tell about this matter.After hearing Luo Yan's emotion, Lu Deming pondered for a moment, and then said: "If the Taoism of fusion and alchemy does not rely on saints, it will not be able to become the world's outstanding learning. The art of longevity is just a deception. Only concentrating on the Tao is the root. "

"It's just that Taoism has returned to its original origin and become a school of governance after taking off that layer of mysterious cloak. Nowadays, there are not many people outside of Fangfang who have experienced Huang Lao's thoughts on governing the world. How can we talk about governance. , these people will only go farther and farther on the crooked road. Also, who can resist the temptation of longevity. Even if you know it is a scam, you have to give it a try. What is good in the top will follow in the bottom. "

Next, Lu Deming explained the difference between Taoism and Taoism to Luo Yan.As a great Confucian who is accustomed to textual research, Lu Deming naturally has deep research on this aspect.

From the yang of Huang Lao, to the yin of Lao Zhuang, to Yang Zhu's whole life preservation, and even Taoism, Lu Deming gave a detailed explanation.Although they all made a simple summary, it also made Luo Yan feel that his knowledge has greatly increased.

At the end, Lu Deming also said with emotion: "Although we are all disciples of Confucianism, we have to say that the troubled times are settled at the beginning, and it is best to rule the world with Huang Lao. As for Taoism, it is not enterprising. Instead, it is in harmony. It's no wonder that I despise Shidao and do things like cholera gods all day long."

Come to think of it, many of the contemporary Confucian scholars have actually accepted Taoist thought.Because of the widespread spread of Taoist thought, Taoism attached itself to Taoism at the beginning of its birth, and even later tried to confuse the concepts of Taoism and Taoism.This is intolerable. Don’t you see that there are many people in the world who silently study Lao Zhuang, but there are few people who enter into meditation and receive precepts. Is it just because the precepts are so strict that they cannot last for a long time?
However, Luo Yan was still a little curious about Huang Lao's knowledge of governing the world, so he asked Lu Deming for advice.

Lu Deming is very satisfied with his disciple's thirst for knowledge.Moreover, he was opposed to working behind closed doors, so he would not blame Luo Yan for learning things other than Confucianism. He immediately recommended Luo Yan: "For these knowledge, you can read more "Guanzi" and "Huainanzi". If you have time, I even read "Lu Shi Chunqiu" together. After reading these books, you will naturally understand some things. Now I am sitting here talking with you, but I am delaying you."

Lu Deming's education to Luo Yan now is a bit of a freeing one.After all, Lu Deming had already instilled his ideas into Luo Yan. As for how much Luo Yan could inherit, this was not what Lu Deming cared about.For so many years of textual research on Confucian classics, he also understands that no matter what theories are, they are in constant progress, and inheriting the old ways will accelerate the demise of the inheritance.

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the contention of a hundred schools of thought, in the end, didn't they all learn from each other's advantages and then collide with each other. The fierce confrontation again and again made the various schools develop by leaps and bounds.Confucianism is not the same. Although it became the mainstream in the Han Dynasty, whether it is governing the country or self-cultivation, in fact, it has integrated part of other Mohist and Taoist theories into its own theories.

There is also the Huang-Lao School that Luo Yan asked just now. In fact, it also absorbed the essence of many Confucianism, Mohism and other schools, and only then did it produce a new school of Taoism.

Hearing his teacher's recommendation, Luo Yan also nodded, seeing that the time was about the same, he had dinner with Lu Deming, and then went back to his room to study hard.

Then, in the next time, the people of Prince Qin's Mansion announced a strange thing.Luo Yan used to hold most of the works of famous Confucian scholars in the past dynasties, but recently he really changed his career and read Taoist classics.And unlike usual, he was so fascinated by reading that even the official duties entrusted to him by Li Xuandao were pushed to Qiu Xuan and the others by him.

Anyway, in the past, Luo Yan gave the impression that he was conscientious in handling official duties, and would only pick up books and read them desperately when he was free. Now even the official duties have been delayed, how is this possible.At first, it only alarmed Li Xuandao, so Luo Yan was called in front of Li Xuandao one day.

"Jinzhi, I heard from Qiu Xuan and the others that you have read books these days and found that you can't even take care of official business." Li Xuandao's question made Luo Yan feel ashamed.Well, Luo Yan admits that this is due to the addiction to studying hard when he was in the mountains before, and when he encounters the books he is interested in, he can't care about anything.

"Well, I really have the hope of being the master. I discussed Taoism with my teacher a while ago, and I was a little interested in Huang Lao's thoughts on governing the world. No, when I read the book, I forgot everything." Luo Yan could only tell the truth, there was nothing to hide.

Li Xuandao pointed at Luo Yan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you have been reading all the time, even if you are an idiot, it's not an exaggeration. It's just that you need to use the book after reading it. Since you are interested in Huang Lao's governance of the world, it just so happens that I There is nothing particularly important here recently, so you can use what you have learned recently while reading the book, and help me deal with these things."

Li Xuandao would find something for Luo Yan to do, and he was also worried that it would be bad for Luo Yan to become a nerd if he continued to read like this.What's more, although Luo Yan worked as a pen official in the Qin Palace, Li Shimin treated him according to the eight-rank official.Li Xuandao was afraid of attracting criticism if he only took the benefits and did nothing.

In order to protect Luo Yan, Li Xuandao also tried his best.

Fortunately, Luo Yan is not that kind of crazy person. Since Li Xuandao specifically asks him to accept these things, he will definitely not harm him.So he restrained himself a little, finished all the things Li Xuandao gave him every day, and then continued to read.

Now it showed Luo Yan's level. In the beginning, Li Xuandao assigned as many things to Luo Yan as Qiu Xuan and the others.According to Li Xuandao's thinking, even though Luo Yan is smart, he has only been in contact with him for a few months, and he is incomparable to veterans like Qiu Xuan.Even if they were given the same amount of work, in the end they would still need Qiu Xuan and the others to help.

Who knew that among these three people, it was Luo Yan who dealt with the matter early, and then sat down and acted like his nerd.

When Li Xuandao saw it, there was absolutely nothing to choose from the way and means of handling things.Whether it's external public affairs or internal private affairs, Luo Yan's methods can be regarded as gentle and clever, and he managed to maintain the current situation as much as possible.

It's definitely not that easy to do.First of all, it is necessary to understand the current situation of the court, as well as the large and small forces involved in these official affairs, and even see clearly whether there are hidden interests involved behind these affairs.These things are basically taught by Li Xuandao to Luo Yan in the past few months, but Luo Yan did not expect to memorize them clearly.

The second is Luo Yan's method of handling things, there is no radical here.Thinking back to the several ideas that Luo Yan gave Li Shimin three years ago, they were all harming others and not benefiting oneself, and sometimes they even made progress in order to retreat, and none of them were aimed at winning or losing.

But now, Luo Yan's means are more inclined to hello, me, hello, everyone.This is where Luo Yan is clever, because he understands that the current situation is already very delicate, so he tries not to conflict with others on such trivial matters.

So Li Xuandao doubled Luo Yan's affairs the next day.This is both a value and a test.Giving so many things naturally shows that Li Xuandao approves of Luo Yan's way of handling things. As for the test, Li Xuandao wants to see how much ability Luo Yan still hides.

Then Li Xuandao's jaw dropped in shock.

Who would have thought that even if there were twice as many things, and correspondingly, Qiu Xuan's and the others' affairs would be reduced by half. That's it, Luo Yan and Qiu Xuan and the others finished the matter at the same time.It’s not that Luo Yan wants to shock the world, in fact, every trivial matter basically has a criminal record, follow the most appropriate method before as a reference, and then think about the difference, think of a way to deal with it, even if it’s over, it’s no wonder that it’s unpleasant .

Of course, one or two of the things Luo Yan handled today were not very appropriate in Li Xuandao's opinion, but they were already very good.In Li Xuandao's eyes, Luo Yan had already left his teacher at this time.

Immediately, Li Xuandao took the documents that Luo Yan had processed that day and found Li Shimin.

"Your Highness, I think that Luo Yan no longer needs to stay under his command."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Li Shimin was a little surprised by Li Xuandao's sudden request: "Could it be because of the recent rumors that Luo Yan studied all day and forgot to deal with official duties? If he is so proud of his talents, then there is really no need to stay in the palace."

"Your Highness is wrong. It's not that he is arrogant about his talent, but that he has passed my test." Li Xuandao now began to speak well of Luo Yan: "Yesterday, I handed him documents that were several times larger than other pen officials. He was able to process it at the same time as Qiu Xuan and the others, and his technique is no less sophisticated than mine. Your Highness, please take a look, this is the document he processed yesterday."

Li Shimin found out that there was a thick stack, so he looked through it carefully.

Even though Li Shimin was just watching and thinking about the feasibility of Luo Yan's solution, it took Li Shimin nearly an hour to read through these documents one by one.Seeing the admiration on Li Shimin's face, Li Xuandao added more information: "It took him an hour and a half to process these documents."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

　It was agreed that there was a big move, and the big move came.Thank you Fengyue Xingluo, Midnight Chanzhou, Da Chenzi at the foot of Jianglang Mountain, Huiyuan Fengliu, and Ruosheng for their rewards.Thank you for your non-stop recommendation tickets, even if you drop them, Xiaodao doesn't feel like a headache.At the same time, thank you for continuing to pay attention to "Zai Zhi Da Song" by member Merry Brother.
