Li Hong was very curious about Li Dan's exploration of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Could it be possible that the little fat man could continue to explore the origin of human life and the theory of evolution from this philosophical issue that has confused people at first
With a curious attitude, Li Hong kept questioning the little fat man who became aloof because of this question during the dinner, but no matter how he used words, Li Dan turned a blind eye to Li Hong's questions, kept secrets, and ignored him at all. topic of.
Seeing Li Dan's confident look, the girls also helped Li Hong press and seduce him into exploring the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, but they were all coldly rejected by the little fat man.
After seeing his juice taken away, the anxious Li Dan could only say proudly: "Of course I have research results. This is an extremely profound question, related to the growth of all things. I want to tell you immediately Father knows, not you."
When the girls saw that Li Dan had moved out of His Majesty's house, they immediately became speechless. No one helped Li Hong to question Li Dan anymore. Pei Wanying and Yan Lingbin, like Li Hong, made helpless expressions. They were worried about the chubby figure. He was naturally fond of Li Dan, so he gave up continuing to bully Li Dan.
However, in Li Hong's opinion, it seems that women are particularly fond of chubby little boys, and what they like most is touching Li Dan's chubby little face.
"All things?" Li Hong almost spit out the sip of wine he just took into his mouth. What on earth is this little guy studying and exploring? He has actually studied all things
Could it be that because of Li Lingyu's unintentional act, he wanted to create the first prince like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty
After all, if he upgrades to the realm of all things, then it is not too far away from the realm where Taoist thoughts tend to favor dialectics and atheism.
But don't forget that he is only a nine-year-old child now. When he was ten years old, he only focused on money and ignored everything else.
If Li Dan really researched something transcendent on this false proposition of which came first, the chicken or the egg, he would be much more powerful than he was back then.
Li Dan was still surprised by all the things Li Hong blurted out in surprise. He put down the food in his hand and looked at Li Hong blankly. He thought for a while and seemed to understand something, and then started eating again.
The belly was already full and round, but he still kept talking. The belly was like a bottomless pit. Under the dumbfounded eyes of the women, it took a while before they felt satisfied and touched their belly.
After eating, Li Dan turned a deaf ear to the questions the women asked him. He took Li Hong's hand and hurried to Li Hong's study. Then he looked around and saw that no one was following him. Suddenly, he walked toward Li Hong without warning. He bowed as a disciple, then straightened up, with seriousness written all over his chubby little face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, I combined Taoism and Nature to study which came first, the chicken or the egg, but I always feel that something is wrong. , this is my opening chapter, please help me, I have to behave well in front of my father. I can’t let my father and Li Lingyue always think that I only know how to eat. "
Li Hong looked at Li Dan, who had an extremely serious face, and his expression became serious. He took the pieces of paper handed over by Li Dan, treated them like an adult, and said seriously: "Okay, let me take a look at it for you first."
"Well, please help me take a look. I think you are better than the gentlemen from Hongwen Hall and Imperial College in this knowledge, so I have never even shown them." Li Dan sat down opposite Li Hong and looked at Li Hong unfolded his research results and looked at them carefully.
"So I'm the first one. I'm honored. Ask them for whatever you want to drink. I'll see what you've researched first." Li Hong's curiosity was also aroused. The little fat man wouldn't really Something amazing.
"Then I'll drink juice." The seriousness on Li Dan's face quickly disappeared, and he once again turned into the Yin King who could eat and drink.
"No, you've drank as much as you can today, and now your burps smell like juice. Let's try something else."
"You don't have anything else in the East Palace..."
"Then you ask Xia Zhi to squeeze a fresh cup for you. No sugar is allowed. Too much sugar is not good." Li Hong looked through Li Dan's research results and said with his head lowered.
"Okay, no sugar." Li Dan quickly jumped off the chair, ran outside and ran in again soon, with an excited and expectant smile on his face.
"The Tao has no end, things have life and death, don't rely on their achievements. One is empty and the other is full, and it does not follow its shape. Is this your general outline?" Li Hong looked up at the first sentence and asked in surprise.
"Shh... keep your voice down, don't let them hear you." Li Dan looked around cautiously. The large and luxurious study was brightly lit, and there was no one except the two brothers.
Li Dan was relieved and said solemnly with a small face: "This is the main idea of Zhuangzi's 'Equality of Things'. I think it is saying that everything is changing all the time, and its shape is never the same. Unchanged. There is definitely a dialectical truth between every movement and silence.”
"Is this...are you sure this is your understanding? No one has ever taught you this?" Li Hong's voice was a little hoarse. Doesn't the little fat man want to achieve enlightenment? Is it possible that I am really the ancestor of the Li family? Taoist thought has really penetrated into the bones of Li’s descendants!
"Yes, that's my understanding... Shh." Li Dan heard the slight footsteps behind him and hurriedly signaled Li Hong to stop talking.
After Xia Zhi put his juice in front of him, and when he was about to ask Li Hong if he wanted anything, Li Dan waved his little fat hand anxiously and told Xia Zhi to go out quickly. He, King Yin, had confidential matters to ask. I'm going to talk to the emperor in detail.
Xia Zhi smiled and had no choice but to leave the prince's study in a hurry under the push of King Yin.
"There is a mixture of things, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, moves around without peril, and can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, but it is called 'Tao', and the strong name is 'Da' . The great day is passing, the passing day is far away, and the far away day is opposite. As the ancestor said in Chapter 25, one must look at the positive and the negative, but there is something missing, right? The little fat Li Dan was also shocked by Zu Li Er's rule that Tao generates all things.
In his mind, the emperor's brother should be a prince who is only interested in war and economy. In terms of Taoist thought and knowledge, he is probably not as good as himself, but the emperor's brother can also quote scriptures.
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the qi is harmonious, which is "Tao". Yin and yang are opposite, isn't it a dialectical and relative combination? When things are mixed, first Heaven and earth are things. They are in a trance, and there are images in them; in a trance, there are things that are shapeless, and there are no images in them. The first; then, there is no trace. Therefore, the consciousness of the ancestors is: "Tao is a composite thing that precedes heaven and earth; Tao is a universal law that exists in all things; Tao is invisible and has no form." Li Hong said about Taoism. This superficial understanding was due to the fact that when he was discussing Buddhism with Princess Wencheng in Tubo, he improvised and consulted Dai Zhide.
But these words also made Li Dan nod his head in agreement, as if he was about to touch the threshold of which came first, the chicken or the egg. He thought about Li Hong's words again and fell into deep thought.
"Being and non-being come together, difficulty and ease complement each other, long and short complement each other, high and low lean to each other, sounds harmonize and follow each other. Which came first, the egg or the chicken? Where did we humans come from?" Li Dan muttered unconsciously.
At this moment, little fat Li Dan even felt that as long as he understood where people came from, he might be able to figure out which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Li Hong only curled his lips when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted the little fat man on the head, who was about to go crazy. He woke him up and said jokingly: "Ask the queen how she hatched you from the egg!"
"Oh! That's right!" Li Dan also slapped himself on the head and said suddenly: "No, I have to go back. I want them to leave a few eggs for me tomorrow morning to see. Chickens come out of eggshells. , It seems that the person is not, how did that person come out? I will ask the queen when she comes back..."
Li Dan's last words were still lingering in Li Hong's ears, but the little figure had disappeared into the study. When Li Hong came back to his senses, he was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Little fat man, you are seeking death, this is You can’t ask your mother about the matter.”
Li Hong hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, ignoring the glass of juice left by Li Dan. He accidentally knocked it over on the expensive Persian carpet and hurriedly chased him out!
In the flash of lightning, Li Hong remembered the first time he went to Luoyang and asked about his mother and father in Tongxin Pavilion. He subconsciously recalled the scene when his mother became pregnant with him and was beaten up by her in anger.
If the little fat Li Dan came to his mother again and asked how he was born, based on the scientific knowledge of this era, and this kind of rebellious thing with a little provocative ethics.
Once the queen knows that it was Li Dan who discussed with her which came first, the chicken or the egg, and if Li Dan asks again whether he was hatched by the queen, I'm afraid he will be tricked to death by the little fat man!
Li Hong ran out in a hurry, ignoring the surprised looks of Pei Wanying, Yan Lingbin, Yiyang, Xiaoxue and others, and quickly ran to the gate of Lizheng Hall, but Li Dan's carriage had disappeared from sight.
Li Hong, who walked back feebly, looked at the stunned women in the living room and asked feebly: "Was the little fat man very excited when he went out?"
The women looked at him doubtfully and nodded without saying a word. Li Hong suddenly felt helpless again and thought to himself: When entering the palace tomorrow, he must give Li Dan a few words, and just keep these words in his stomach. , can’t talk nonsense. If you really ask, if it is rumored in the palace or even among the people that King Yin Li Dan was hatched by the queen... Li Hong raised his head and looked at the East Palace, and couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart. Will the queen dismantle it to vent her anger
