Han Yu didn't answer him directly. Instead, he said, "Knowing the way in the morning, one can die in the evening."
Xie Ze asked, "What is the 'way' of the military counselor? Is it the lord? "
Han Yu curled his lips and revealed a faint smile. Xie Ze was uneasy and felt that he had asked a stupid question.
Han Yu didn't answer but asked, "Do you know anything about my youth, Colonel Xie?"
Xie Ze was stunned and answered straightforwardly, "More or less …"
Han Yu's cold face softened a little, making his already outstanding facial features even more dazzling.
His appearance was very outstanding. Many people who were jealous of Han Yu even spoke ill of him behind his back, saying that Xu Bei valued Han Yu because Han Yu's face was too good looking. Some despicable people even maliciously speculated about the relationship between Han Yu and Xu Bei, deeply suspecting that their relationship was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Thus, they added a bit of flirtatious elements to the story. These absurd rumors even reached the ears of Xu Bei's legal wife.
Because Xu Bei's legal wife and Xie Ze's wife were sisters of the same clan, Xie Ze had vaguely heard from his wife.
When Xie Ze first met Han Yu, he was also attracted by his appearance at first glance.
It seemed that the rumors were not entirely false. At least the face of the military counselor was really good-looking. No wonder so many people were jealous of him.
Han Yu didn't pay attention to Xie Ze's inner thoughts. He said calmly, "When I was young, my family was involved in an unwarranted evil. If it weren't for my master, I'm afraid that the whole family wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. Although we were lucky to escape, our family gradually declined and we were no longer as glorious as we used to be. Everyone in the world follows the red and white, flatters the strong and belittles the weak. There are many people who despise the law because of their family background. The world is chaotic, and justice is lost. I often doubt myself, whether what I'm doing is right … "
Perhaps everyone has such a confused period of time. Han Yu, who was intelligent and thoughtful since he was young, was no exception.
He had a lot of doubts in his heart and couldn't find a way out even after thinking about it for a few times. Finally, he asked his master, Master Yuanjing.
"The sage once said that if one hears the way in the morning, one can die in the evening. So, does Wenbin have his own way?" Master Yuanjing said, "Zixiao's Dao is to cleanse the universe and bring order to the chaotic world. Youmo's Dao is to follow the will of the heavens and support the orthodoxy. Shaoyin's Dao is to unify the world and unite the nobility. When people have their own 'Dao', they will know the meaning of their birth, and they will know how to walk and what to do — "
Han Yu asked a presumptuous question, "What is master's Dao?"
"Students everywhere," Master Yuanjing said with a smile.
Han Yu said, "Master has reached perfection."
Master Yuanjing shook his head and said, "No, it's far from perfection. Throughout Sage Confucius's life, he had three thousand disciples, but only seventy-two Sage Plane cultivators. This is an achievement that ordinary people can't achieve in their lifetime, but does Wen Bin really think that Sage Confucius has reached perfection? "
Han Yu didn't understand. As a young man, he could only look at his teacher and wait for his answer.
Master Yuanjing accepted the talents of hundreds of schools. To him, there was never any family that was expensive or cheap. He respected Sage Confucius, but he was not blind.
Han Yu was fortunate enough to hear his teacher dissing Confucius.
Master Yuanjing smiled bitterly and said, "I have 3,000 disciples, but how many living beings are there in the world? Ten million or ten million? In the face of such a huge number, 3,000 people are like a drop in the ocean, not to mention that there are only 72 Sage Plane cultivators. Sage Confucius traveled around the world in his early years, and he only focused on teaching and educating people after running into a wall many times. He did a good job, but he was not the best. My Dao in this life is to have students everywhere. I will not only teach 3,000 students, but also 30,000, 300,000, or even 30 million … But I am only one person, and it seems that I am not as good as Sage Confucius. "
He had a great ambition, but the reality was cruel. Master Yuanjing could teach elite students, but the sense of achievement was far less than educating and enlightening people. His energy alone was limited, but he could pass on his "Dao".
Maybe after generations, there would be more and more people who followed his Dao and enlightened people.
Han Yu was in a state of shock after listening to Master Yuanjing.
Master Yuanjing said, "Your Dao is something that you are willing to bet your whole life on, and your life is vulnerable in front of it."
Under the guidance of his teacher, Han Yu felt that the thick fog that covered his eyes was gradually thinning, and the path under his feet was revealed.
The thorny path extended into the distance, and he didn't know where the end of the path led.
Han Yu woke up from his memories and said calmly, "The Dao of the Yu is the law."
Xie Ze was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such an answer.
"Law?"
Han Yu nodded and said with certainty, "Yes, it is the law! The law is fair and just! It doesn't favor the powerful, and it doesn't favor the powerless. In front of the law, everyone is equal. It is' the law does not lie to the powerful, and the rope does not bend. 'It is' the law does not avoid the officials who punish, and the people who reward good deeds. ' The wicked have nowhere to hide, and all evil, injustice, and filth can't hide. Only in a world where the law prevails can the people live and work in peace and contentment. They don't have to worry about the fatuous monarch, the rebellious officials, and the oppressive officials. That is the Dao of the Yu! "
There is no distinction between the close and the distant, and there is no distinction between the rich and the poor.
Xie Ze didn't know what to feel after hearing Han Yu's words.
Han Yu said that he pursued the law and justice, but in essence, he wanted to use the law to bring peace to the world.
Would Xu Bei be able to shoulder such a heavy obsession and ideal?
Xie Ze didn't have to think too much to know that Xu Bei couldn't.
Therefore, this scumbag was destined to let Han Yu down.
If Xu Bei couldn't do it, Han Yu would follow a wise ruler who could shoulder such high expectations.
Xie Ze faintly felt sad for his lord, mourning for his lack of ambition.
If this was Han Yu's ambition, then wouldn't Xu Bei's previous actions be stepping on landmines?
Even if Xu Bei didn't kneel in the Mountain Urn City, there would be a day when he and Han Yu would drift apart.
People with different beliefs could not make plans together.
Xie Ze looked at Han Yu with a questioning gaze.
"My lord's way of doing things seems to be very different from the military counselor's' Dao '."
Xu Bei had trampled on Han Yu's' Dao 'with his completely different attitudes towards the commoners and the gentry families.
Han Yu twitched his mouth and didn't say a word.
"What's the point of saying all this now? The most important thing is to solve the predicament. "
Even if the 'Dao' was different, Han Yu wouldn't easily give up on the lord he had chosen.
Sigh, when he first met Xu Bei, he wasn't like that. He was a wise ruler that Han Yu was satisfied with at first glance.
Xie Ze didn't know if it was because of the depressing atmosphere, but he couldn't help but ask Han Yu.
"Military counselor, do you think that Liu Xi would be the one to put Master's' Dao 'into practice?"
If Liu Xi was, Han Yu would most likely pledge allegiance to him after the city was breached.
If it wasn't …
According to Liu Xi's temperament, he wouldn't give the military counselor the choice to live in seclusion.
Either die or pledge allegiance.
There was no third option.
Han Yu sighed and said, "I don't know."
But in his heart, he said …
