no, 146 Inaction (continued)

Thanks to Mo Guan'e's reward of 588 starting coins, not 1,200, not 2,300, only 588, only 588. The latest chapter is taken home. Please remember that there are two other 142 chapters. I'm sorry to find the editor to change it, so I have to do it like this.

Huang Junming glanced at Li Shimin gently and replied undeniably: "Your Majesty's understanding is quite common. In fact, this is the case, and the effect of the upper and lower parts is exactly like this. Therefore, it is said that 'The Tao always acts without doing anything and does nothing without doing anything" 'If you do nothing, you will be cured.'"

Seeing Li Shimin's slow nod, Huang Junming continued to say:

"Looking further, Zhuangzi developed Lao Tzu's "nothing" to the extreme, and also developed Lao Tzu's "inaction" to the extreme. This extreme is "super man" and "free and easy". Zhuangzi wrote "Xiaoyaoyou". The so-called "free and easy" refers to a state of absolute freedom of personal spirit. He believed that true freedom is to be free of no need, let it be natural. The so-called "no need" means no conditional restrictions and no conditional constraints. He mentioned the example of "doves, great rocs, and even Liezi walking against the wind, all of which have their own needs and conditions, so they are not absolutely free and easy. And he said: "There is the way of heaven, the way of human beings. Those who do nothing but respect the way of heaven; those who do things are tired of it are the way of human beings." He believed that inaction is natural, and action is futile; people can only adapt to nature and cannot change nature. He also said: "If "If you are the way of heaven, you are the way of heaven, you are the way of heaven."

Those who ride on the right path of heaven and earth and control the debate of the six qi to travel infinity, should they be evil? Therefore, it is said: The most powerful person has no self, the gods and man have no merits, and the saints have no name." It is believed that only by relying on the right path of heaven and earth to control the changes of the six qi and to travel infinity, can they be the most powerful person who has no need to be and no burden. The most powerful person has no self, no action, no name, and one with the heaven and the way of heaven and earth, and has reached the state of transcending life and death, forgetting things and self, and being born with me, and all things and me are one. Only by reaching this state can they be absolutely free and without burden. The most powerful person is Zhuangzi's ideal personality, and the free and easy travel is the ideal state pursued by Zhuangzi's philosophy. It is also an extreme development of Lao Tzu's thought of inaction. It is just that this ideal is difficult to realize."

"Looking backwards, it is that Huang Lao Xue of the early Han Dynasty pushed Lao Zi's "governance by inaction" from theory to practice. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, society was initially determined. The country needed peace and stability, the economy needed to recover and develop, and the people needed restoration and rest. Huang Lao Xue adapted to the needs of society and proposed to govern without action, which was valued by rulers in the early Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing, Empress Dowager Dou and others all used Huang Lao Xue as the guiding ideology for governing the country. The main ministers Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping and others all liked Huang Lao Xue's learning and politics. The book "Huainanzi" compiled by Liu An, King of Huainan, is a theoretical summary of Huang Lao Xue's learning in the early Han Dynasty. In fact, in my opinion, the best governance of the country is

Thoughts are thoughts that adapt to the trend of the times. From ancient times to the present, many dynasties believe that the rituals of ancestors cannot be abolished, but some things only apply to the era of ancestors. They follow the way of heaven in their era and are the best policy policy in their era. However, with the passage of time of development, the times have become different from the times of ancestors, so appropriate reforms must be made to develop better. Follow the road, otherwise the country will not be able to succeed. The country will decline. Therefore, Zhuangzi just wrote the ultimate goal. It is too difficult to achieve this goal, so it is necessary to adapt to the trend step by step."

Li Shimin thought about Huang Junming's statement repeatedly, and seemed to think that there was a little reason. Sometimes when he was dealing with the government, he would encounter those old and stubborn people who were not as good as the old, which hindered him from doing this and that. However, he knew that his ideas were for the good of the country, but he often had to compromise with these ministers. Li Shimin felt it was necessary to study Huang Junming's remarks carefully and said to the pen clerk: "Have you remembered them all? I'll remember to copy a copy later. I'll take them back to the palace."

Huang Junming saw Li Shimin's small moves. He had no idea of ​​pointing it out. This was originally meant for him to listen to. In history books or historical dramas, those villains always use the excuse of the ancestors' laws to not abolish them, and the ancestors' rituals cannot be changed to hinder the implementation of policies, and finally make the country weaker and more decayed in the long river of history. What Huang Junming wants now is to mention Li Shimin and leave him a seed, which will be more convenient in his future rule.

"Actually, the original thought of our Taoism was Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi..." Huang Junming suddenly smiled and said this inexplicably. "When talking about adapting to the development of the times, it is our Taoism. The Huang-Lao study of the Western Han Dynasty was actually my Taoist sages who used Taoism as the mainstream to integrate Taoism, law, Confucianism, Mo, name, Yin and Yang. After all, yin and yang are born together. All things have yin and yang. Integrating the thoughts of various schools is actually perfecting oneself. Confucianism also integrated my Taoist thoughts and Legalism thoughts. When Buddhism was first established, it also learned Confucianism and Taoism, but Confucianism and Taoism were not perfect in the integration of Taoism."

"Hone." Li Shimin nodded gently: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Taoism and Confucianism have been committed to the ox. When Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, Confucianism integrated Taoism and the response of heaven and man. However, in this way, the other schools declined and gradually integrated into Taoism, forming Taoism. It can be said that Taoism is a religion that absorbed hundreds of schools of thought with Taoism as the main body. Perhaps this is why Confucianism has been called Confucianism for so many years, but Taoism has become a major sect." Li Shimin has studied the history of Taoism. Although these things can be found with care, most people really think that Taoism is Taoism. In fact, Taoism is much more perfect and huge than Taoism.

Li Shimin suddenly felt a little confused. Didn’t it mean that Wuwei? Why did it involve the development of Taoism? So Li Shimin tentatively asked Huang Junming: "Immortal Master, I wonder what does this have to do with Wuwei?"

After hearing this, Huang Junming smiled and waved his hand, and continued to answer: "Your Majesty, don't worry, please listen to me one by one. Huang Laoxue's learning is inclusive. On the one hand, it inherited the Taoist politics of inaction, proposed the idea of ​​inaction, and the minister's way of inaction, believing that "the people are more willing to be quiet and the people are more stable", and the monarch can master the political principles, and do not interfere too much; advocate "reduce harsh affairs, reduce taxes, and do not take away the people's time" to let the people rest. On the other hand, it absorbed the Legalist's rule of law, Confucian thought of propriety, righteousness, benevolence, and love, the Mohist thought of both love, and the famous thought of form and name, and proposes to promote both punishment and morality, benevolence and power, and follow the name and responsibility, and be trustworthy, and believe that "no struggle will not be successful."

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this. These ideas still apply to the Tang Dynasty. Isn’t it just to guide the direction of the country? It is enough to master the method of governing the country. There is no need to interfere in everything by himself. "Reduce harsh tasks, reduce taxes and avoid taking away the people" is also quite applicable. These are the most basic political concepts. Everyone understands them, but very few are actually implemented. As long as they are implemented, they will definitely be a wise monarch. Now Li Shimin has gradually understood Huang Junming’s intention to integrate.

"The "Huainanzi" written in the Western Han Dynasty is somewhat similar to that of Is Dao, saying, "The so-called inaction does not first do things; the so-called doing everything is done because of what things are done." It opposes the detachment of the Tao and acts recklessly, advocates taking things according to the reason, and makes a subjective effort to make a difference due to the natural situation." This is also a different development of Huang-Lao's learning. Therefore, in the early Western Han Dynasty, Huang-Lao's learning of inaction and governance was a science that was practical and practical.

"Huang Junming gradually took back his words.

"To this day, this is also a knowledge that is practical and practical!" Li Shimin sighed. Suddenly, Li Shimin felt that Taoist thoughts on governing the country were simple and practical.

Huang Junming was also very happy to hear Li Shimin say this. However, humility should be modest: "Your Majesty, my Taoism has never participated in political affairs after Emperor Wu of Han, so whether it is applicable now remains to be discussed."

Li Shimin stood up from his seat, walked to Huang Junming, and stared tightly (

) This "celestial immortal" kept sighing that Taoism is different from Confucianism. Confucianism adhered to the rules and was loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but it rarely changed its thoughts in order to prove it. In addition, Confucianism has absorbed the ideas of other schools relatively little, and has a lot of one-sidedness that he has never noticed in the past. Today, when Huang Junming said this, he suddenly realized that Confucianism is much worse than Taoism. You must know that Huang Junming said so much, but he only explained the word "inaction". There are so many words in Taoist classics, so there are still better ideas waiting for him to explore.

Li Shimin shook his head and shook the thoughts in his mind. He knew that it was impossible to let Taoism go into politics. He thought it was too outrageous. However, although Taoism could not go into politics, he often walked in this Tianxian Palace in the future and asked Huang Junming how to go into politics was very necessary.

Huang Junming was a little nervous when Li Shimin stood by his side. Seeing Li Shimin's expressionless look, he had to speak out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin woke up from his meditation and looked at Huang Junming with deep meaning, but did not continue on this topic. "Immortal Master, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Huang Junming stood up and walked out of the Centennial Palace with unknown intentions. As soon as he reached the cauldron, Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Immortal Master, I wonder where the things you are talking about can consolidate the city? Can you let me see it?"

When Huang Junming heard this, he wrote the bitterness directly on his face. These days were first about Jin Chanzi, and later he compiled Daozang, but he didn't have time to burn bricks and cement. He looked at Li Shimin with a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so busy now. I'll burn cement when I take time."

"Fired...cement..." Li Shimin made a lot of question marks in his mind when these four words. Can the mud in the water be burned in an alchemy furnace? Can it really consolidate the city?
