child.

Children are always pity and treated kindly.

Song Ying smiled and said, "I am already seventeen years old."

Seven years old is called a child, but seventeen years old is not enough. She is not a person who wants to seek pity as a child.

Because she knows that this world will not treat you kindly just because you are a child.

"But I have to learn a lot, and I'm still a toddler."

The four masters said: "That's not what it means."

What does that mean? The child has another meaning? It does not refer to himself, it means someone else's child... Because she is the emperor's child, so this time is there?

Song Ying looked at the four masters and said, "I will accept it because of God's gifts. I will not complain about my pride of my background or because of it."

She would not be complacent because it was the blood of the Great Zhou emperor, nor would she blame the powerful ministers and wolves the ambition of killing, and her parents were both dead and borne in vain. She could bear the honor of the Great Zhou royal family and the hardships.

The four masters looked at her and nodded, saying, "What a smart child."

Song Ying smiled.

The four masters said, "But that's not what it means."

Song Ying was slightly stunned.

"Don't care about my words." The four masters continued, stepping forward, "Nothing is necessary to have any meaning."

Song Ying responded: "Baozhang is dull, so Baozhang has to learn from the master."

The four masters said: "What do you want to learn?"

Song Ying said: "Learn the great way of the world, learn the way of governing the country, learn everything you teach me by Master."

The four masters smiled and said, "I have to learn a lot." They crossed the threshold.

"I'm just starting to learn much later." Song Ying said, "My father followed the master very early and learned for so long..."

With a gentle sound, the Zen staff stopped, and Song Ying's words also stopped, and the voices of the four masters came from his ears.

"But he did not cure the country, nor did he save his life."

.....

.....

This temple is bigger than the last time, and the Buddhist temple is also magnificent and brilliant.

Song Ying looked up and saw a row of Buddha statues hanging in the dusk sunset. The voices of the four masters echoed in his ears.

"So, do you still have to learn?"

Song Ying smiled and said, "Master, of course you have to learn."

The four masters in front of the Buddha turned to look at her.

Song Ying said: "Just like studying may not necessarily lead to the imperial examination, studying medicine may not necessarily lead to all kinds of illnesses, and learning the way to govern the country may not necessarily lead to cure the country. This has nothing to do with the way to govern the country, and it has nothing to do with whether I have learned it well. The result has nothing to do with learning itself, but with people."

The four masters laughed, nodded, and didn't say anything. Suddenly, they laughed again, as if they had thought of something funny.

"Master?" Song Ying asked.

The four masters looked at her and smiled, saying, "When someone thinks of this question, someone may have another answer."

The four masters who practice silent meditation rarely speak more, and even say others, who is this person?

Song Ying did not ask, but said, "Is my answer wrong?"

The four masters smiled and shook their heads and said, "No matter whether it is right or wrong." Looking at Song Ying, he looked kind, "There are many things in this world that are not about right or wrong."

Song Ying smiled again. What was going to say? The four masters had turned around and walked towards the back hall.

"Come on." He said.

Song Ying followed without saying anything. A table was placed under the corridor of the back hall. The food was as simple as last time. She walked over and took the Buddha's crown and Zen stick of the four masters.

"Let's have a meal." The four masters said, picking up the dishes and chopsticks first.

Song Ying responded, and she didn't politely and easily ate. This time, the four masters did not choke or cried after eating again, but after eating for a while, she stopped the bowls and chopsticks.

"Is it delicious?" asked the four masters.

Song Ying held the chopsticks and thought for a while, and said, "It tastes better than the last time."

The four masters laughed and said, "Last time..." and corrected their expression again, "It's actually not delicious, right?"

Song Ying smiled and nodded.

The four masters said, "It's hard to come to this world to eat." Looking at the dishes on the table, I picked up a piece of dried tofu with chopsticks, "The rice of poor and humble ants is not delicious, and the rice of rich and noble princes is not delicious, each has its own bitterness."

Song Ying said: "The so-called life is suffering?"

The four masters said: "That's right." Put the dried tofu into her bowl.

Song Ying said: "I understand that knowing the sufferings of the world is to care about the world." Pick up the tofu and put it in your mouth.

The Four Masters said: "You don't have to think that big. If a person becomes this person, eats a bowl of rice to survive. Both bitterness and difficulty are difficult. If you understand the suffering, you can solve everything in the world."

Song Ying said: "Yes, I understand, I will follow my teachings."

The four masters smiled and pointed at the dishes and chopsticks: "Eat."

At this point, I sent Song Ying away and didn't say anything.

Song Ying was standing outside the door and still savoring the conversation.

"Your Highness." Song Yuan couldn't help asking, "How is it?"

Song Ying looked so happy that he said, "It's great. I've really benefited a lot from listening to the teachings of the four masters. I'm looking forward to seeing the four masters next time."

It seemed that the conversation was very pleasant, and Chen Sheng, Wang Lieyang and others immediately leaned over to congratulate His Highness.

Song Yuan followed and congratulated him, and said, "Did you give it to the master of handwriting?"

Song Ying said: "No."

"If you give it to it...hey?" Song Yuan was stunned.

The officials present also looked slightly surprised, but did not give it?

"The master is teaching me, I'll start learning." Song Ying said, "Handbooks are given after learning, so there is no hurry."

There was an emperor alive, and other princes were fighting each other and slowly learning and waiting. Now I urgently needed to ascend the throne and need to use handwritten books as evidence. Besides, who came to the imperial temple to meet the four masters was not for handwritten books, but for learning. Song Yuan was a little anxious and couldn't help but step forward... Chen Sheng stopped him and bowed to Song Ying and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Song Yuan also came to his senses and looked at Wang Lieyang beside him.

Wang Lieyang did not look at him, but nodded with Chen Sheng and said, "Your Highness is right. Learning is the most important thing. The four masters are near the capital. It is very convenient every time you see him. Your Highness can learn well with the master."

.....

.....

The people outside the temple were gradually quieting away, and the night gradually enveloped, and the temple was darkened. The four masters stood under the outer corridor of the Buddha Hall, looking thin against the backdrop of a row of Buddha statues behind them.

"I still can't cure the country after learning it, and I can't save my life... If that little bastard came to answer, what would he say?" he suddenly said.

After the words came, a soft voice sounded again: "...Why do you still learn from a bird..."

It was obvious that I was pinching my nose and talking to myself, and laughing.

"...I want me to learn from you and show some sincerity...Why don't you give me money?"

"...Don't make up for the silly thing, don't pour me chicken soup. If you are idle, everyone will just say something..."

The soft and elongated tone kept ringing in the temple, as if a night bird was screaming strangely. Gradually, the sound was silent, and a moment of sighing.

"I don't even know what I want to learn, how can I call learning..."

"Actually, it wasn't for learning."

"This is not your fault, nor is it your father's fault. This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong, it only concerns the original intention."

The sigh dissipated as the shadow merged into the night.

.....

.....

The imperial city hall under the night is still on.

The court affairs have been discussed so far, and the monarch and ministers have not eaten. Chen Sheng looked at Song Ying, who was focused and tired after sitting behind the dragon case. The young emperor, if there were elders, he would ask the eunuch to advise him at this moment. Diligence and state affairs are a good thing, but he should also cherish the dragon body.

However, without an elder like a queen, this is a kind of poor child who has become a family, right?

"This should be what the master said about life is hard." Song Ying said, looking at the officials sitting, smiling, "It's not delicious to be a bowl of rice for the emperor, and it's not delicious to be a bowl of rice for the minister." Put down the memorial in his hand, "No matter whether it's delicious or not, I don't care about your meal today. Let's go home to eat."

The officials all laughed, stood up and bowed and said goodbye.

"Don't worry, Your Highness will make arrangements for the throne ceremony." Wang Lieyang said.

Song Ying nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear friends."

The officials once again polite to the ministers and then surrendered.
