Chapter 130 On the Tao
It was still that room, and it was still Zhu Shou, the general of Emperor Zhengde who was as sick as a skull.

When he untied the black cloth covering his face, Sun Dan hurriedly handed back to him the note written to him by Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde took the note and glanced at it, then burned it on the candlelight, and asked lightly: "Meet your mentor?"

"Yes, with the general's handwriting, everyone in the world can go anywhere." Sun Dan replied carefully.

"Have you seen Zhu Huan too?"

"See you." Sun Dan replied again.

"I already know about the conversation between you and Zhu Huan."

Sun Dan was startled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in his vest.If you think about it, you can know that Jin Yiwei is directly responsible to the emperor, and how many people in it are the emperor's eyeliner.Zhengde must have known everything about what happened in the Beiya during the day.

According to historical records, Emperor Zhengde was just an absurd and fatuous emperor.But from the contact with him in the past few days, Sun Dan was surprised to find that not only was he not fainting at the moment, but sometimes he was very shrewd, and even had some tricks to control others.According to what Sun Dan saw and heard when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the place was prosperous, the people were rich, and the country was well-governed.

All of this was maintained by the large and efficient civil servant group of the Zhengde Dynasty, and the emperor Zhengde led the army to fight the northern grassland people with a knife and a gun at the northern border.If such a person is called a faint king, Sun Dan doesn't know what a real wise king should look like.

Hearing Zhengde's question, Sun Dan hurriedly opened his mouth to explain that he had pretended to be an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, but he didn't want Zhengde to raise his hand: "No need to explain anything, well done."

Sun Dan was stunned, but suddenly felt a little joy in his heart.

Zhengde's spirit is very good today, he stood up from the bed rarely, and slowly walked to Sun Dan with the support of a eunuch: "I guess you already know who I am."

Sun Dan was about to bow down in a hurry, Zhengde stretched out a hand with difficulty: "No, what's the point in that. You still think of me as the general Zhu Shou, maybe I should have been a general in the first place. Hehe, the general, the general who fell ill in bed...is despised...just like a tiger crouching on a barren hill, lurking and enduring its minions. I have some strength today, so I won't listen to your stories. Let's just sit in the yard let's go."

"Yes, General." Sun Dan straightened up and stood up.

Zhengde glanced at Sun Dan appreciatively. As the Ninth Five-Year Master, all the people in the world were terrified when they saw him, and some people were even so frightened that they couldn't even speak.It was the first time that Zhengde met someone like Sun Dan who spoke to him calmly and calmly.Looking at this man again, although his appearance is ordinary, his demeanor is all chic and calm, reminiscent of the legacy of ancient sages.

This person is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and after a few more years of experience, he is afraid that he will become another unparalleled national scholar like Yang Shen.

The more Zhengde looked at it, the more delighted he was, and he thought: "I am Zhengde Dynasty, so there are so many talents!"

Walking out of the house, it is very cold outside, a few wintersweet trees are blooming lonely, and on the water of a pond, there is air-conditioning, and there are cranes flying across the water and flying away.

Crossing cranes and silver in the cold pond, burying the soul of flowers in the cold night.

This is probably the white crane raised in the legendary leopard house, and there are faint calls of wild animals in the distance.

"The reason why I say you did a good job is because you asked what I wanted to ask." Zhengde was wearing a white fox fur, and sighed: "I have only been ill for a few days, and the outside world is like It looks like the sky is about to fall down. Baihong Guanri, hehe, since this incident, everyone has said that this is a bad omen, and it is a sign of great evil. Great evil, what is the great evil? Do they want to see me dead before they are reconciled?"

Sun Dan gently stretched out his hand to support Zhengde, he could still feel his thin arm through the fur, and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Actually, the white rainbow piercing the sun is just a natural phenomenon, which can't explain anything at all. A few days ago, The sun shines brightly every day in the capital, and the temperature is very high. The water vapor on the ground rises, and when the sun shines, a rainbow is formed. This phenomenon often occurs after the summer rain. People outside are ignorant and far-fetched. .”

"Is this true?" Zhengde turned his head to look at Sun Dan.

"Of course, Sun Dan knows this very well. Why don't you find a sunny day, get dozens of water guns to spray water into the sky, and I'll make you a colorful practice in the sky." Sun Dan smiled and said: "Red orange red green green blue Lan Zi, who practiced dancing in the sky with colorful colors? After the rain, the sun set and the Guanshan Mountain was bursting with green. It’s just that they didn’t know that a good mood should be associated with a bad omen.”

Zhengde's eyes lit up when he heard it: "It's interesting to make a colored drill with a water gun. When I find time, I will ask people to do the same. What else do the people who watch the Qin Tianjian have to say? By the way, the words you just said Well written, worthy of being the number one talented scholar in Shandong. Is it your new word? Why is there only Shangyu, read on, read on.”

Sun Dan had a wry smile in his heart, and had no choice but to read: "Red orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, who will hold the color to practice dancing in the air? After the rain, the sun will set, and the Guanshan Mountain will burst into green. Back then, the battle was fierce, and the village wall in front of the arrow hole. Decorate this Guanshan, It looks better today."

"The back tie is too tight, it's a bit vulgar."

Sun Dan was sweating profusely.

"I guess it was you who rushed to continue, and the rough parts are inevitable. However, this poem is not badly written. Shen Xiong, I will find someone to play this tune later, and I will sing it on the dental board and the copper pipa, It’s quite to my liking.”

Sun Dan said: "General, should we find another Kanto man to sing?"

"Yes, let Zhu Huan, the killer, sing..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhengde burst out laughing.

Sun Dan also found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Zhengde was physically weak during his illness, he couldn't laugh twice, he couldn't catch his breath, and he bent his body and gasped non-stop.

Sun Dan saw that he was so ill, and remembered that he would die soon, his heart suddenly felt sour, and he reached out and patted his vest.

Zhengde raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Sun Dan, you are the first person to treat me as a normal person and talk to me. I ask you a question, and you have to tell the truth."

"Sun Dan is a man who acts rashly, and does what he thinks."

"Well, let me ask you. If a king spends his days thinking about galloping his horse, going to places far, far away, and seeing new things that he has never seen before, is he considered a qualified monarch?"

"It is." Sun Dan nodded affirmatively.

"But why do people say I'm ridiculous and out of place?"

"That's because they want to turn you into a puppet." Sun Dan said calmly: "I have cultivated a huge civil official group since the founding of the country for more than 150 years, and this huge civil official group It is an effective guarantee to maintain the operation of this huge empire. A country is like a big ship, and everyone has a role to play. People are the ramming horns of the bow, while others are the rudder that holds the direction. The route is fixed, and everyone performs their own duties. Naturally, there is no room for the existence of such things as individuality. If everyone does what they want to do, this The ship fell apart."

As soon as this remark came out, it sounded like a thunderbolt, shaking Emperor Zhengde speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he murmured: "In that case, I'm not really important. It doesn't matter whoever gets my seat."

Sun Dan was speechless: "The monarch only needs to exist, but does not need to understand why it exists. In the eyes of the subjects, the world belongs to the people of the world. The king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule together. It is more in line with the natural law for the king to do nothing than to do everything. Avenue."

"Damn it!" Zhengde kicked the snow on the ground suddenly angrily: "Then, it's ridiculous for me to go into battle and fight for the country?"

"No, from ancient times to the present, there are only a few people from the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Taizu of this dynasty who have been personally put on by the kings. Aren't they the heroes of a generation?"

Zhengde's spirit was lifted, his face was full of excitement, and he murmured: "Xiong Lord, Xiong Lord. After listening to your words, it's like seeing the blue sky through the dark clouds! If you can get this two-word comment, you will die without regret."

"Thousand-year merits and crimes will be judged by future generations." Sun Dan: "The key depends on how scholars see you and write about you."

"Yes, a man should act as he pleases for the rest of his life. Why should he think so much. I can't do anything about those moral gentlemen. I don't care what they write!" Zhengde laughed and pointed at Sun Dan: "Sun Dan, Sun Dan , I will get better, I am waiting for your imperial examination to become an official, so that we can achieve this good story of a monarch and minister."

Sun Dan didn't say anything anymore, anyway, the emperor wouldn't live for a few more days.Hey, just be a good man and say something nice to cheer him up.If this guy is not an emperor, he should be a figure in later generations.According to his open mind, at least he can be a big boss.

Oh, what a pity.

Regardless of the status gap between himself and Zhengde, this person is a worthy friend.

"Since you already know my identity, you don't need to cover your face when you come in. However, you must prevent the foreign ministers from making irresponsible remarks, saying that you are a villain, and ruining your reputation. In this way, after I come down, I will let someone You can post a sign saying that the inner study is an errand, so it’s easy to get in and out.”

Sun Dan smiled and said, "I don't want to cut off the bottom."

Zhengde laughed: "If you really cut it off, I will let you enter the palm of the supervisor of ceremonies and become the inner minister of this dynasty. According to your talent, you must be better than your predecessor."

Sun Dan broke out in cold sweat: "I'm not married yet!"

"Then get married and have children, and cut off when you have a son. This general feels very comfortable talking to you. You have one advantage, that is, you don't tell lies, and you don't copy the words of saints with a straight face. Use you to reconcile yin and yang." , It is suitable to be a cabinet minister." Zhengde laughed louder, and several eunuchs ran over in a panic: "General, it's too cold here, you'd better go back to your room. Your body is weak, you can't do this."
