"So, let me ask another question, how can the earth learn from the sky? What is the learning of the sky?"

"Learn from the vastness of the sky, the infiniteness of the sky, the boundlessness of the sky, the infiniteness of the sky, the mind of the sky, the creation of the sky, and the selfless love of the earth and all things."

It was still a brief pause, and Zheng Xuan asked and answered.

"What is the Tao? Is Tao even bigger than the sky? Or particles smaller than dust? From infinite to infinite, Tao is nothing, and nothing is endless..."

This is a message...

Not to mention ordinary scholars, even those who are well-educated like Cao Cao, Cai Zhaoji, and Kong Rong were a little dizzy when they heard it.

But Lu Yu can understand it. Isn’t this philosophy?

To be more profound, it is materialism and dialectics...that is Marxist philosophy!

Who would have thought that in the late Han Dynasty thousands of years ago...

Zheng Xuan could use such a dialectical philosophical method to teach and give lectures. Judging from ancient books and documents, he really underestimated this great scholar of Confucianism!

And over time...

Zheng Xuan stripped away the profound truth little by little.

"This is Tao. It makes you understand everything, but it seems that you cannot understand anything. It is always like a masked woman, with the beautiful face you want and the mystery you want to feel. But you can never see its truth, you can only imagine and understand it according to your own ability and height. "Tao" has no clear answers, no uniform solution to the problem, and you need to understand it based on your own experience."

Having said this, Zheng Xuan slowly stood up...

It seems that this lecture is coming to an end, and he is going to talk about the last topic.

"Since Tao is infinite and infinitely small, why does it still need to learn from nature? Then... what is nature?"

"Nature is the actual existence, including what we can see and cannot see, what we can think and cannot think, and everything we cannot think of! Nature has always existed. It exists when there is no human being. Maybe human beings will not exist in the future, and it will still exist. Nature has the mystery that makes us human beings worth pursuing for forever."

"In the vast and endless nature, there are profound natural laws. This law can be the alternation of day and night that we can feel, the change of the four seasons, the exchange of sunny days and rain, the birth, old age, sickness and death of all things in the world. Whether it is emperors or civilians, no one can go against nature! Change the laws of nature! Everything has an inner connection, and all connections are attributed to the 'natural laws'."

The continuous footsteps came, and a team of Hu Ben Army quickly walked to Zheng Xuan, opened a highway, at the end of the highway... Cao Cao was lowering his head and walking quickly.

That's right...

Cao Cao came over with his head down. This was the first time in Lu Yu's impression.

Soon, Cao Cao walked to Zheng Xuan and bowed, "Sir, do you remember the brave and bold student who dared to openly challenge Mr. Zhang while he was giving lectures in Luoyang twenty years ago?"

this…

As soon as this statement comes out...

Zheng Xuan seemed to have thought of something.

That was twenty years ago, when he was giving lectures at the Luoyang Imperial Academy, a bold Tai student challenged him. His new understanding of nature, Tao, heaven, earth, and man also refreshed Zheng Xuan.

"Are you the Tai student who proposed that 'Nature has the Tao, the Tao contains the heaven and the earth, and man is the most important thing in the heaven and the earth. Heaven and earth are ruthless, and the true feelings in the earth are there'?"

Zheng Xuan asked back...

Cao Cao still bent his body and looked humble.

"It's...disciple Cao Cao pays homage to Mr. Zheng!"

"Twenty years ago, the student did not know that the sky was high and the earth was rich. He played with his teacher and proposed that 'The sky was not old, the sky was ruthless, and the genius was not dead'. It was Mr. Mr. correcting my point of view and telling me that 'The feelings of heaven and earth are based on our human feelings and understanding. Emotions are mutual and communicative. Only when we have feelings can we feel the existence of the feelings of heaven and earth. If there is no ruthlessness in our hearts, not only heaven and earth, but all things become ruthless things."

Twenty years ago...

Cao Cao still remembers Zheng Xuan's words fresh in his memory.

You must know...

This is the first time he heard the voice of a "saint" and felt the feelings of a "civil god"...

It was also the first time he had an awakening of "self" consciousness!

It was precisely these words that made Cao Cao grow into a man with true temperament!

Cao Caoyao remembered that Yuan Shao was still feeling at that time, "No wonder Mr. Zheng had thousands of private schools, and it was really a pleasure to attend his class committee."

The good classmate Hu’s mother class also praised it, “In private schools, there are also hidden dragons…”

However, Zhang Miao reminded Cao Cao, "Mr. Zheng has ten years of experience in teaching in official schools..."

At that time, Cao Cao realized why Mr. Zheng was called a master of Confucianism. This is because... His knowledge includes the rigor and breadth of official studies, the flexibility and elegance of private studies, which is both outstanding!

It was then that Cao Cao decided to follow Zheng Xuan to Donglai to become a disciple and study!

Yet...

Yuan Shao was very disdainful and said, "Take it down, Ah Man, just let's go and pick the lock and steal the bride. Don't ruin Mr. Zheng's students!"

Yuan Shao ran away after saying that, and Cao Cao chased him and laughed and played!

It can be said...

Because of Zheng Xuan, Cao Cao's heart... these memories that have been covered with twenty years have surged out.

Times have changed... Mr. Zheng is old. His classmates who used to listen to his teacher's teachings and play and play together are now... but they are going to fight life and death along the Yellow River to decide the belonging of the world!

"I didn't expect that there were some outstanding disciples like you among my students."

Zheng Xuan looked at Cao Cao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

However, in the end... he still looked at Lu Yu.

"At an extraordinary time, I didn't want to come here, but why... President Lu sent a copy of his experience of "The Analects of Confucius" to Donglai. I don't agree with some of the views, and there are some views, which are in-depth and concise... I have benefited a lot!"

"I never thought that the young master who wrote this "The Analects of Confucius" was such a young master... President Lu, I hope I can ask you for advice one or two!"

Such a big statement... Zheng Xuan said to Lu Yu in a whisper.

It really surprised many people.

Especially... the five words "I didn't want to come here" are even more surprising.

Especially Cao Cao...

Sure enough, as expected... Zheng Xuan was able to come to Xudu City because of Yu'er!

Is this unexpected, reasonable?

but…

Cao Cao's brows slightly condensed, and he also had a thought.

Yu'er is his son...

Seeing that Yu'er was about to reach the crown, Cao Cao wanted to ask the monk Zheng Xuan to give it to Yu'er! Today, no one is more suitable than him!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes turned and he thought to himself, how to... open his mouth?
