Chapter 1342 Consultation (10,000 words)(4/4)

Han Wei supported Sima Guang's argument, and he said: "The late emperor promoted the armored soldiers and first took the blame for the crime. Then he took the land, which led to the Xia people's resignation and obedience. The customs of the country were ashamed of not avenging revenge. Now that the national strength gradually recovered, he would come to capture the old land. If it was unfortunately taken away again, the late emperor would have been in trouble for many years of hard work, and once it lost it, it would seem shameful."

"If the army is launched and the war is resisted, the border gap will begin again. I am afraid that the soldiers will cause disasters, and it will not be over. I have thought that there are three people who must stop the army, and five people who must stop the earth..."

Sima Guangdao: "If the Xia Kingdom launches troops to invade the barriers and the northerners send a letter to ask for the land, then I will lose my opportunity and will not be able to use it. The ancients cultivate virtue and benevolence, regardless of the benefits and harms for a while. What is the result of cultivating virtue and benevolence, and the benefits and harms of the world are small, and the size and difference are as far as the world can do! "

"I would like to restore Jiayou to Zhiping, and to reconcile with the Westerners and the Northerners."

Empress Dowager Gao said: "Why did Zhang Qing never say a word?"

Zhang Yue said: "You are the Empress Dowager, I am reading Buddhist scriptures today and I often think about the principle of permanence and impermanence."

Empress Dowager Gao liked Buddhist principles, and listened to Zhang Yue quoted Buddhist scriptures and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing might as well give a try."

Zhang Yue said: "Seng Zhao once said that people seek the past from the present, saying that they cannot stay; I seek the present from the present, knowing that they cannot leave."

"Seeking the past from the present, so that there is constant and seeking impermanence. Looking for the present from the present, it is impermanence to seek constant and constant."

"What does this mean?" Empress Dowager Gao asked with a smile behind the curtain.

"For example, when someone sees the Yellow River changing its way, he says, "The Yellow River in ancient times is not like this" - this is to seek the ancient times with the changes of the present. "Zhang Yue looks at Sima Guang, "and the wise should think: The Yellow River flows through the ages, and changing its way is the norm - this is to learn from the present."

Sima Guang coughed, and Han Wei frowned: "What does Duzhi mean?"

Zhang Yue bowed deeply to the imperial throne: "The Empress Dowager clearly understands. "We use history to learn from the present, not to learn from the present. We should not seek the principles of the past with ever-changing present. Instead, we should seek the principles of the past with the perpetual principles of the past and the present."

"Governing the country should follow the principles that have not been changed throughout the ages, rather than carving a boat and seeking a sword, and forcefully use ancient methods to collect current affairs."
