Chapter 13 Theoretical Basis
While the sun is just right.
Keep it quiet while the breeze is not.
While the flowers have not yet bloomed to their fullest.
While you are still young, you can still walk a long way and express your deep longing.
While the world is not so crowded.
While the plane has not taken off yet.
While time has not yet swallowed your souvenirs.
While your hands can still hug each other.
While we are still breathing...
Go and do what you want to do!

Under An Long's introduction, I gradually integrated into the circle of these people. Although the Goryeo girl made me look completely unseen, this also made these people from the Holy Gate get closer to me. Some people started chatting with me. This is a good phenomenon. I don't want to be isolated.
I was surprised that what they were talking about was not weather and finance, but profound academic issues.
Yes, it’s an academic issue. They are constantly talking about their academic thoughts, their recent insights and research results, which made me a little overwhelmed for a while.
So I learned another state of survival of people in the Holy Sect. Their characteristics are that their martial arts are not high and their reputations are not prominent in the martial arts world, but they have a unique position in the Holy Sect. They are studying and carrying forward the ideas of the Holy Sect. Although these ideas are different from the Confucianism today, or go against the rules, they cannot be said to be meaningless.
What I have seen before were the holy sects on the surface, such as those superb martial arts, forces in the world, fighting and killing, and the deeper level is the chain of interests behind them, their means of making a living, and their hidden strength.
Today I saw the theoretical basis of the existence of the Holy Gate. The reason why the Holy Gate appeared was because their value orientation was different from the official ideology, and thus they were suppressed by the official and became marginal groups, but they had their own theoretical basis and ideological concepts.
The Holy Sect is not an ordinary sect, but a group with its own political appeals, or an opposition party wandering on the edge! These people who came here first are researchers of the Holy Sect theory, that is, those who specialize in academics.
Even if An Long is the leader of a sect, he dares not offend these people easily, because academics are usually petty and jealous. Once he slanders you in his works, you will basically be infamous in the Holy Sect for thousands of years.
Of course, due to different parties, their research directions are also different, just like a different branch of a major. For example, the one who talked to Anlong was a thoughtful researcher from the Tianlian Sect. His main focus was business, or to establish a country based on business.
He listed Lu Buwei's example to persuade An Long, hoping that An Long could become a hero like Lu Buwei and eventually achieve the best in the world to promote his ideas.
It is said that he had an in-depth conversation with Fu Gongyou, and Fu Gongyou did have such ambitions. Unfortunately, Fu Gongyou was killed by Boss Bai because of the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army. This also led to the intensification of the conflict between the Tianlian Sect and the Yingui Sect. It would be impossible to get An Long to support the Jianghuai Army.
When An Long and I were together, I rarely talked about the JAC Army. This is also the main reason why I don’t believe that Yang Xuyan would want to alliance with the JAC Army.
The Yingui School's ideological researchers focus on the study of royal power techniques. This power technique is not the power technique to govern the country, but the power technique to control the emperor. His theme is how to grasp the emperor's mind and rely on controlling the emperor to achieve the goal of controlling the country.
Men master the world, and women master the world by mastering men.
This gentleman has given me many successful cases, such as Daji, Baosi, Xi Shi, Zhu Ji, and Zhao Feiyan...
In fact, I can provide his most successful academic research case, that is Wu Zetian.
The scholars of the Huajian School are all dressed as literati, looking very romantic and free, with a arrogant style. They tend to be artistic genres, believing that art is used to cultivate the sentiments of the people and spread their own opinions. This sect has some superiority compared to other sects, and they are not rejected by mainstream society. On the contrary, they have become guests of the mainstream society. Even the foolish emperor likes to be artful.
However, things like art can be popular among vulgars, and once they have their own character, they will be rejected and suppressed. After all, it is difficult for this society to appreciate both the elite and the masses.
True preaching is the sect that I misunderstood the most. I always thought they were a criminal organization that lured good women in the name of Taoism, and also spread some dirty ideas. But when I talked to their thinkers, I found that they were a very traditional Taoist sect.
Their thoughts come from primitive Taoism, like the Taoist Taoism in history. Of course, although they were in the same way as orthodox Taoism, their research focuses on the art of sexual intercourse. In their opinion, the affairs of men and women are major human relations and should not be ignored. How to correctly and effectively engage in sexual intercourse between men and women is related to family happiness and social stability. Therefore, they summarized many effective positions and medicines for fun on the basis of continuous practice. Sometimes the emperor would ask them these questions.
Butian Pavilion is a sect with a long history. Many influential figures appeared in their sects, such as Jing Ke.
The profession of assassin is a marginal profession walking in the dark, but their ideological basis actually comes from the Mohist school, believing that injustice can be used to achieve the purpose of justice, or it can be said that violence can be used to fight violence. They have their own code of conduct. Looking at Sima Qian's "Biography of Assassins", you will know that the previous assassins did not just do it for rewards, but had certain principles.
At the beginning, assassins didn’t have money, but later they started to collect money when there were too many people they looked for. No one could do it for nothing, right? Everyone is for life, and this is also operated according to market rules. There are several assassins I know. Yang Xuyan is determined to restore the country, Ba Fenghan is for gold, and the Fu sisters are also assassins, and they are for the country.
As for our Shengji Sect, there were thinkers who came to talk to me. He said a lot, and the general idea was that it was time for us to come out to lead the Holy Sect. We were the orthodox of the Holy Sect. He vigorously advocated that I would take the position of the Lord of the Holy Sect. This guy was so funny, and I wanted to live two more years.
After a conversation with these theoretical researchers, I felt like I was brainwashed by countless mixed thoughts. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than in philosophy classes in later generations. If someone can't control it, it would be possible that my outlook on life and values would change.
"You don't have to chat with these people so seriously. Once you really listen to them, you will be dead. Lao Fu is the best proof." An Long sighed in a low voice.
If theoretical research cannot be combined with reality, it is empty talk!
"What do you think?" I asked the little girl Goryeo who was following me, for fear that this young girl who was not very experienced would be brainwashed by them.
"What?" The little girl from Gaoli was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This, the master often nags these ideas, ideology, etc. I go in and out of my left ear, and I don't remember anything, and I feel relaxed!"
It's good to be simple!
These so-called ideas and ideologies are all under the banner of confusion. If you insist on asking them if they can really achieve it, then you are stupid.
Many things cannot be serious, and once you are serious, you will lose!
