    Emperor Taiding quickly issued an edict of relegation: Liu Yun was relegated to the Sichuan provincial government to serve as a political adviser [from the second grade], and Song Wenzan was relegated even further to Lingui County [now Guilin City] on Jingjiang Road, Huguang Province.  County Yin [1].  They returned to Kyoto from Shangdu together, and arrived at Tongzhou Wharf to break up.

    [1] "Sending Pei Langzhong to Jizhou Again" by Liu Changqing. Poem

    The ape crowing guest scattered at the end of the river,

    People's heartache flows by itself;

    The same as chasing ministers and monarchs farther away,

    There is a lonely boat thousands of miles away from the green mountains.

    At dusk, the sound of apes was mournful, and the guests by the river had already dispersed.  The ruthless flowing water carried people away without stopping, and the hearts of the two of them inevitably became more sad.

    Song Wenzan said: "The lower official is alone, and I have nothing to worry about, so I will not return to the capital, so please bid farewell to your lord here."

    Liu Yun also sighed and said: "You and I were exiled and wandered together, but you traveled farther. Unfortunately, I need to go home to pick up my wife and children, so I can't go with you. On this journey, only the thousands of miles of green mountains are with you.  .¡±

    Song Wenzan looked at the green mountains and green waters in the setting sun in the distance, and said, "It's great to be accompanied by green mountains and green waters!"

    Liu Yun suddenly blamed himself again: "Zizhang, you are young and promising, and you should have a bright future. But it's all because of me that dragged you to the distant South Vietnam."

    "How can I blame you, my lord? It's all due to fate." Song Wenzan smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how hard I try, how I struggle, I still can't escape the fate I deserve!"

    Seeing that Song Wenzan was a little depressed, Liu Yun said: "The old saying goes, 'Fate is determined by the sky, and destiny is born by oneself'.

    'Fate' is innate, and everyone's talents and conditions are things that cannot be changed.  And what about "luck"?  It is the journey of a person's life.  That is to say, destiny is determined by God, but luck is in our own hands.  As long as we can grasp our own luck, it is up to us to decide how to change the road of life.  Therefore, there is no good or bad destiny, only right and wrong in what we do.  "

    "But I always can't figure it out, obviously everything we do is for the emperor's good, but why can't we get good results?"

    "Doing good deeds may not necessarily lead to good results." Liu Yun smiled sadly, "You need to change your mentality to influence yourself and even the people around you, so as to change your own destiny; of course, when you influence others  At the same time, they are also influencing you, making you lose your principles and drift with the tide of fate."

    Song Wenzan sighed: "How can I be that person who follows the crowd."

    "Since you don't want to change your original intention, then our road ahead must be bumpy." Seeing Song Wenzan's confusion, Liu Yun said again, "Now, although there are a small number of people who don't follow the crowd, in essence, nothing can be changed. But  , and it has indeed changed. It¡¯s just that what changes is the little waves in the Grand Canal, which are fleeting.¡± Liu Yun pointed to the river in the spring flood and said, ¡°Zizhang, don¡¯t be depressed, you and I may change.  It¡¯s not realistic, but we can choose, choose what we like, choose what suits us, choose those who are optional"

    Listening to Liu Yun's earnest words, Song Wenzan nodded frequently.

    Liu Yun finally said: "Actually, some things seem bad, but they are often a good thing I wish you all the best!"

    With confusion and hope, Song Wenzan embarked on the road to the south.  It was getting late, and Liu Yun stayed at the Tongzhou Post Station.

    [2] Liu Zongyuan's poem "Solitary Awareness"

    Feeling that the window is empty, and the sound of rain is falling.

    ?Liangyou complains about his lateness, and the last thing is disturbing.

    In order to ask the mind of the world, the ancients have done their best.

    When I woke up, there was nothing outside the window.

    Liu Yun got up and came to the window, scanning the window.  There are no pedestrians on the road, no farmers in the fields, no birds singing on the branches, no dogs barking or cocks crowing in the village, only the sparse morning rain is heard, endlessly pattering.

    Anyone can educate others.  But when it comes to me, who will appease the restless and extremely depressed heart deep in my soul?

    Liu Yun lamented the impermanence of life, the injustice of the world, and the endless grievances caused by the meaningless and gradual erosion of life:

    He stayed abroad for ten years. Since he was a degraded guest, he was repeatedly excluded.  Such a leisurely time travel is simply idle.  This is really a kind of merciless torture and cruel persecution for the life concept known as "helping the world from the fire and water, and liberating the people from the upside down".

    He is well aware of the eternity of the universe and the brevity of life, as well as the difficulty of developing grand plans and careers, so he must be eager to get rid of this "good journey" dilemma.  But in the end, he was still down and out, and he had to add more sadness, and he was born before he was old.?Yeah, is your head broken?  What are you doing on the roof on a rainy day?  "

    Seeing that her mother was angry, Liu Haohao quickly climbed to the window.

    The mother then warned: "Slow down, don't slide down, if you fall into a lame, no one will marry you."

    At this time, Liu Haohao still had to say: "It's okay, mother, when the time comes, I will get married in a sedan chair, so I can't tell"

    The mother laughed angrily at her daughter, and said angrily: "I will tell the little son-in-law in advance that you are a cripple, and tell him not to marry you"

    Liu Haohao carefully climbed into his room, turned around and said: "Wouldn't it be just right, I can stay at home and guard Mother" Suddenly, Liu Haohao yelled, "Mother, Daddy is back  " (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
