Chapter 446 The realm of freedom

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhuang Zhou was complaining, but even when he was complaining, he had the expression of a wise man. He looked at his wife intoxicated. Yao Zhuang liked the way Zhuang Zi shone with sparks of wisdom. Although he couldn't understand, his husband was really shining brightly at this time.

    Yunyao thought to herself that Zhuang Zhou had such a profound understanding after walking around for a while. He must have encountered something. So after asking Qing Ji and Yao Li, she realized that Zhuang Zhou had a very fulfilling day today. He went to the academy during the day and went to the women's palace at night.  Lu, it¡¯s really about learning and having fun at the same time.

    Of course, Yunyao did not expect that her deeds would not be forgotten and would be used to educate others.  He was actually regarded as a righteous man who saved others from danger?  It feels good to be admired by others. I feel like I have contributed to the history textbook.

    "No wonder I felt like this when I came back. It turned out to be the gap between the rich and the poor." Yunyao also knew that Linzi had a big problem. In fact, not only she knew it, but King Qi Wei also knew it. Otherwise, there would be no "Zou Ji satirized King Qi Na  The story of "Jian" is that because of knowledge, he opened up his voice and rectified the administration of officials.

    However, the King of Qi did not have the determination to make fundamental changes. After all, the geographical conditions were too good, and there was so much fishing, hunting, sea and salt resources to eat. And because Guan Zhong laid the foundation of Qi early, the strength of Qi should not be underestimated among the Seven Kingdoms.  Moreover, he has already rounded up his neighbor Lu State, and he can eat it in one bite if he wants.

    Even if Qin and Chu are powerful in the future, either Qin or Chu, Qi will still be the target of everyone's win over, and it is also the last country to be destroyed by the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

    It¡¯s not that Qi¡¯s system is so strong or its army is so powerful, it¡¯s that its geographical advantages are too good and its foundation is too deep.  With the geographical advantages coupled with Guan Zhong's official mountains and seas, no matter how great the contradiction between the rich and the poor in Qi is, it will not shake its foundation.

    "If you go to the palace and tell King Qi what you said, you will definitely get a generous reward." Yunyao said to Zhuang Zhou who was eating.

    Zhuang Zhou refused to go: "Forget it, even if you tell the King of Qi, what can he change? He can only punish a few traitors, but he can't change the customs of the country. Gambling is a common practice in Linzi, and it cannot be changed by one person."  "

    "Okay, let's change the topic. Since you don't want to go to Jixia Academy, then I will introduce you to Qi Mo Zongtan, find a job, and communicate with Mo scholars." Yunyao said.

    "The Mohists can only create mechanisms, so what's there to learn?" Zhuang Zhou still believed that mechanisms make people lazy and scheming.  He didn't realize that after one job was done with the mechanism, there was another job, and the work would never be finished, so the mechanism only helped people speed up efficiency, rather than generating ingenuity.

    "The objection is invalid, so it's decided. You two watch him, and if he is unwilling to go, escort him." Yunyao said that she wanted Zhuang Zhou to get to know the working people and create more works for the working people.

    Zhuangzi¡¯s works are full of imagination, but most of them talk about how to become a perfect person, a god, or a saint.  I think these people are helpless.

    The ultimate thought of Zhuangzi is that people have no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name.  To put it simply, it is to reach an ultimate state, and the existence of this state will not rely on any external objects, not even oneself.

    Most people have a saying that it is better to seek God than to seek oneself, and to seek others than to seek oneself. But when it comes to Zhuangzi, one does not seek God, nor others, nor things, nor oneself. This state is the supreme freedom.

    As for how to achieve this state, Zhuangzi didn't say, and he probably doesn't know either. If he knew, he would have become a saint.  He just said that people who have something to rely on will not be free. For example, the roc bird can fly ninety thousand miles away, but it needs wind. Without wind, the roc cannot fly.  For example, when you go on a trip, you need to prepare food. You can travel as far as you need. If you prepare food for fifteen days, you can only travel for fifteen days. Naturally, you can't go further.

    It can be deduced from this that as long as people need help from external things, the realm they can reach is limited.

    So if you want to be free, you must ask neither God nor others, and preferably not even yourself. Such a state is unfathomable.  As for how high one is, Zhuangzi said that one is a saint.

    Simply put, Zhuangzi believes that the highest state is to have no material exchange with the environment, which is too difficult.  People are born in society and live in the environment. It is inevitable to exchange materials with everything around them.  People have already begun to exchange materials when they take their first breath of air from birth. You can't say that you hold your breath. That will not make you a saint, it will only become a dead person.  According to Zhuangzi's theory, human beings have limits unless they can stop material exchange. Unfortunately, he did not say how to stop it.

    "However, the realm proposed by Zhuangzi is indeed a very clear direction. Reducing material exchange can indeed assist the immortals in their cultivation. Mortals cannot stop material exchange, but immortals can.

    Zhuangzi was the first person in the Three Realms to propose this idea.

    So, Yun YaoShe must have no connection with Xiaoyao, because her material exchange with the Three Realms is constantly expanding and shows no sign of decreasing, which is obviously contrary to Zhuangzi's thoughts.

    The next day Zhuangzi went to Qi Mo Zongtan to participate in labor, so let¡¯s not mention it for now.

    Yunyao must also start thinking of ways to find a heavenly official who can resist Western teachings. First, go look around and observe, maybe you can find a suitable candidate with strong will.

    "Let's go." Yunyao turned around and put on a set of men's clothes. Because she had to go to gambling houses and other places, it was more convenient to wear men's clothes.

    "We'll go together too." Simei said that she couldn't let Yunyao be happy alone, so they also put on men's clothes and put on talisman papers, so that everything would be safe.

    In the end, Yao Zhuang was left to meditate alone at home. There was no way anyone could let her be a beginner. She needed to concentrate during this period.

    Five young and handsome princes came to the lively street and looked around. They heard voices talking about state affairs everywhere. Obviously, the King of Qi opened his mouth and inspired the people of Qi to talk about state affairs. After all, if it spread to Qi,  Rewards can be found in the king's ears.

    "This move by King Qi is really smart, he knows how to mobilize the masses." Yunyao knew very well that he said he was opening up his voice, but in fact he was using the power of the people to deal with Dr. Qing.

    Relying solely on the power of King Qi to fight against the doctors will definitely outweigh the gains. Even if you win, you will lose your own strength. Then the other doctors will become bigger again, but if you introduce the people, you can suppress the doctors while maintaining your own strength.  It sounds nice to point out King Qi's own mistakes, but will King Qi correct it after pointing out the mistakes?  Will he abdicate?  No, it is not important to point out the mistakes of the King of Qi. What is important is to point out the mistakes of the officials. As long as some people tell the mistakes of the officials, the King of Qi can justifiably get rid of the officials without harming his own interests.

    This is what is called introducing external forces into the struggle, and it is not just what the King of Qi does at home.  The nobles and officials of the Warring States Period were almost all good at bringing in outside forces, killing people with borrowed swords, and diverting troubles to the east.

    For example, once the Chu State promised to give the Qi State 500 miles of land, but as soon as the messenger who offered the land left, the King of Chu went to the Qin State to ask for reinforcements.  The State of Qin definitely did not want the State of Qi to become bigger, so it came over to help the State of Chu defend itself.  In this way, the state of Chu could secure its land without spending a single soldier, and at the same time resist the wrath of the state of Qi.

    Chu State is in the south, Zhao State is in the north, Han and Wei are in the middle, Qin is in the west, Qi is in the east, and Yan State is the most remote in the northeast.

    The relationship between the seven countries is complicated. South Korea and Wei are under the greatest pressure and are the first to change their laws.  The State of Wei first implemented reforms and was very successful. The State of Qin was beaten and the State of Qin fled, so the State of Qin also wanted to implement reforms, and Wei Yang entered Qin.

    South Korea and Chu State also implemented reforms, but they were considered failures and basically did not shake the status of hereditary nobility.

    The seven countries all rely on each other, seduce and guard each other, and maintain a delicate balance, which will trigger a series of wonderful stories that connect horizontally and vertically.
