Chapter 305: Man Conquers Nature
Meeting Wang Qian in Fengyuan was a coincidence. After a drink, the next day, Wang Qian led people to the Western Desert to pick up Lao Zhang and Agou.
Wei Changtian continued to stay in the house all day long to study "Yan Luo".
At present, most of the children under the age of six in Fengyuan City have been evacuated from the city, and only a few hundred people are concentrated near the princess's mansion as bait to lure the monster to appear.
Of course, it is undoubtedly difficult to accomplish this task in a city of this population level, and there will always be some "slipping through the net".
Some people even deliberately hide their own children, unwilling to send them here for "centralized shelter."
The reason may be due to distrust of the night watchman, or there may be other ideas.
However, these people are still a minority after all, and coupled with the night watchman's tough measures, it will not take long to complete the first step of the "Beheading Yama Luo" plan.
"Sir, Lord Ye Guangyi is here and wants to see you."
Suddenly, a servant knocked on the door to report.
"Okay, got it."
The image of an old man with white hair and beard emerged in his mind. Wei Changtian stood up, straightened his clothes, and soon met Ye Guangyi with the servant.
"Hahaha, Master Wei."
Although Ye Guangyi was a cabinet minister and a first-rank official, he did not put on airs. He was admiring the flowers in the courtyard at this time. When he saw Wei Changtian coming out, he smiled and said, "I am sorry to have such an intrusive request to see you. I hope I have not delayed your business, young master?"
"Master Ye is joking. What serious business can I have?"
Wei Changtian took a few steps closer and bowed, "Sir, shall we talk in the room?"
"Well, I brought some nice tea."
Ye Guangyi took a small wooden box from the servant who was accompanying him and said, "It's just right for you to taste it."
"You are very polite, sir. But I don't know anything about tea. Good tea and bad tea all taste the same to me."
Wei Changtian joked: "It would be a waste of God's gift to me to drink this tea."
"Hahahaha, Master Wei is really funny."
“.”
Get sweet and clear spring water, boil it to 80%, and let it steep twice. It is drinkable after the third steep.
Looking at the light green, transparent tea in the cup and listening to Ye Guangyi chattering on and on about how precious this tea called "Sun-cast Snow Bud" was, Wei Changtian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and immediately felt bitterness in his mouth.
Sure enough, I am suitable for drinking alcohol or drinking Coke.
"Master Ye, this tea is too bitter."
Wei Changtian smacked his lips, put down the teacup and said something casually.
But Ye Guangyi smiled and said nothing, just looking at Wei Changtian until the latter began to taste sweet.
A light sweetness lingers around the tips of your teeth, followed by a faint aroma of ancient trees.
Bitter at first, sweet in the middle, and mellow at the end.
The distinct layers show that this tea is indeed top quality.
"Master Wei, you are no longer suffering now."
Ye Guangyi also took a sip of tea, with a hint of enjoyment on his face: "A small cup of tea can give you three flavors, just like the various aspects of the world, with bitterness and sweetness, love and hate."
“.”
Even drinking tea can be related to all kinds of things in the world.
Do you intellectuals have to speak in a high-sounding way?
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian did not immediately respond. After Ye Guangyi had been intoxicated for a while, he asked directly:
"Master Ye, I wonder if you have anything to say to me today?"
"Hahaha, it's actually nothing serious."
Ye Guangyi laughed, but his expression gradually became serious: "It's just that there is a line in the poem that I don't understand, and I want to ask you for your advice."
A well-read university scholar asked Ye Guangyi for advice on poetry. It was obvious that Ye Guangyi was blinded by Wei Changtian's "poetic talent".
However, Wei Changtian himself is very self-aware.
"Master Ye, let's forget about this matter. I really don't understand poetry very well."
Considering Ye Guangyi's status and position, Wei Changtian no longer said that "he can't write poetry", but changed to a euphemism to fool him.
But the former did not intend to give up.
"Master Wei, there is no need to be so modest. The poem I want to learn from is actually written by you."
"this."
Reciting a poem is fun, but explaining it is a funeral procession.
Wei Changtian was speechless for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked tentatively, "From Moonlit Night on a Spring River?"
"Exactly!"
Ye Guangyi nodded hurriedly, clapping his hands nervously and said, "Life is endless from generation to generation, and the moon on the river is the same year after year. I think this sentence is the most brilliant part of the whole poem, but I don't quite understand its meaning."
"This sentence?"
You old man have poor reading comprehension ability. What's so difficult about this poem?
Wei Changtian suddenly gained confidence, and answered calmly with the demeanor of a "great man": "Life is endless from generation to generation, and the moon on the river is the same year after year."
"Master Ye, I wonder what you don't understand?"
“That’s the ‘so is it’!”
Ye Guangyi's breathing became rapid for some reason: "People in ancient times said that my life is short and the world is infinite, why do you say that people are infinite and the moon is similar?"
"Master Wei, do you think that we humans can live as long as the heaven and earth?"
"Well"
Looking at Ye Guangyi, whose face was full of confusion and puzzlement, Wei Changtian took a long time to barely understand what he meant.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Ruoxu's poem does not reflect mankind's awe of nature, but instead puts the two on an equal footing.
If the moon can be infinite, the heaven and earth can be infinite, then we humans can also be infinite.
Wei Changtian believed that this kind of value was nothing. After all, in previous lives, human technology had developed to the point where it could almost subvert nature, and most people would no longer "respect nature."
However, for the people in this world, this kind of idea is obviously too advanced, so Ye Guangyi behaves like this now.
“.”
He figured out what Ye Guangyi was asking, but as a science student, Wei Changtian was unable to explain such a philosophical question to him.
He was silent for a long time, and finally decided to say a few random words to end the topic quickly.
"Master Ye, people can conquer nature."
"boom!"
The four words "unheard of" exploded in Ye Guangyi's ears like thunder.
His mouth opened instantly, his expression filled with shock.
However, before he could come to his senses, he heard Wei Changtian say another sentence.
"Or, in other words, man can conquer nature."
"Did he really say that?"
In the Dafeng Palace, Li Qi looked at Ye Guangyi in front of him and paused as he was reviewing the memorials.
"yes."
Ye Guangyi replied in a deep voice: "People can conquer nature, and man can conquer nature. Master Wei only answered with these eight words."
“.”
There was a brief silence in the hall until Li Qi slowly put down his pen.
"Get ready, I'm going to enter the ancestral mountain tonight."
"Your Majesty!"
Ye Guangyi's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "Have you decided?!"
"Um."
Li Qi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked somewhat relieved.
"That's him."
