, also known as, is the work of Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, recording the theories of Lao Tzu, a thinker in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

It is a work before the division of the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient China. It was admired by all the scholars at that time and was an important source of Taoist philosophical thought.

It has an important position in Taoism. Of course, it is not only in Taoism, but also the philosophy contained in it has influenced the three views of the Chinese people.

There are many sentences in it that everyone is familiar with.

Just like "The Tao can be told, it is very Tao. Name can be called, it is very famous. The name is unknown. The beginning of the world is called the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonder; there is always something, and I want to see its consequences. These two are the same and have different names. They are called mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, and the door to all wonders." And "The heaven and earth are not kind, and they regard all things as straw dogs; the sages are not kind, and they regard the people as straw dogs. How is it like a sway between heaven and earth? They are empty and unyielding, and they move and they get out. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much and lose more."

Of course, these two sentences are one of the classic quotes of the Tao Te Ching. In the book of the Tao Te Ching of 5,000 words, there are countless life philosophy.

There are many different opinions on the topic, and they are interpreted from different angles and present different aspects.

The mainstream school that has been in the past two thousand years is political philosophy or management philosophy. For example, Han Feizi of the Legalist understands it from this perspective.

Han Feizi is the representative of the Legalists, and his theoretical basis is; Wang Bi was the same during the Three Kingdoms period, and he explained it from a management perspective; some interpreted it from a military perspective, for example; some say that this is the way of dealing with people and the way of survival, compromised and overcomes hardness with softness...

This work can be said to have influenced generations of people, but Cao Chong was a little confused.

What does this boss Cao mean to give this Tao Te Ching to Xun?

Could it be that Boss Cao wants to teach Xun the principles of being a human being and let him take a step back?

Misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune?

A person who knows the times is a hero?

Cao Chong was full of doubts, but he still saluted Cao Cao and stepped out of the Qinghai Xiaozhu in a few steps.

After leaving the Qinghai Xiaozhu, Cao Chong looked up at the stars in the sky. Under the waving of the stars and the bright moonlight, he got on the carriage.

The fourteenth moon is actually no worse than the fifteenth moon. At this time, the bright moon hangs in the sky, emitting sacred and indescribable moonlight.

Under the moonlight, Cao Chong's car drove out of the Wei Palace with a long shadow and turned back to the Luoyang Marquis Mansion.

Cao Chong on the carriage was watching the Tao Te Ching.

There are many versions of later generations, such as the Fu version, the Ha version, the Imagination version, the Wang version, the Today version, the Guodian Chu Slip version, and other versions of the burial of princes and nobles in different eras.

The original version that can be seen now is the bamboo slips unearthed from the Chu tomb of Guodian, Jingmen, Hubei in 1993, which are more than 100 years earlier than the Mawangdui silk book. Other versions, the Fu version, the He version, the Imagination version, the Wang version, and the current version are all versions since the Han Dynasty. The two silk books A and B unearthed from the Han tomb of Mawangdui No. 3, Changsha in 1973 were versions from the early Western Han Dynasty.

However, the A version lacks 1400 characters, and the B version lacks 600 characters.

Therefore, the common version in later generations is the Wang version.

Of course, the Tao Te Ching in Cao Chong's hand was a complete book, which was exactly five thousand words.

However, Cao Chong did not read the Tao Te Ching in later generations, so he did not know what the difference between the Tao Te Ching in later generations and his current Tao Te Ching.

But books from this era must be complete.

Cao Chong was watching the Tao Te Ching while getting off the carriage.

He wanted to see Cao Cao's intention in this book.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi rushes to be harmonious...

But the content was too much and complicated. In the end, Cao Chong had to put it aside.

It seems that this matter still needs to be taken one step at a time.

The next day...

The sun is bright at the beginning.

Under the service of Xin Xianying and two maids, Cao Chong put on the official uniforms of the three Duke Cao.

The official uniforms of the Three Dukes and Cao are naturally not as domineering as the royal and princely uniforms, but fortunately they are not heavy.

The crowns of kings and princes have jade and crowns, and the clothes are actually very heavy due to the material, while the official uniforms of the Three Dukes and Caos are not that heavy.

Cao Chong looked at his heroic figure in the bronze mirror and nodded involuntarily.

When it comes to appearance, I do seem to have some.

He picked up a Tao Te Ching in his hand and slowly walked out of the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, then drove to the Shangshu Deck without stopping.

The book in Cao Chong's hand was composed of Cai Hou's paper, which was rare in this era, but Cao Chong's thoughts were not on the Tao Te Ching in his hand.

He wanted to know Xun's response.

In other words, what is the purpose of Cao Cao doing this?

Wow ~

soon.

The Shangshu Deck is right in front of you.

Cao Chong got off the carriage in one step and walked slowly into the Shangshu Deck.

After entering the Shangshutai, Cao Chong did not go to the Sangong Cao Hall first, but went directly to the Backstage Pavilion Hall, which is where Xun was.

Let's do it first.

The backstage hall is naturally much more majestic than the Sangong Cao Hall. Cao Chong came here last time, and this time he came, he was naturally familiar with it.

After informing the guards in front of the door, Cao Chong immediately saw Chen Qun come out.

Chen Qun looked good, and he looked quite like a scholar, but his handsome face was now full of strange looks.

Why is the Luoyang Marquis coming again? Could it be...

Chen Qun's eyes flashed.

When Cao Chong saw Chen Qun's strange spirit, he thought Chen Qun was sick, so Cao Chong bowed to Chen Qun and greeted him: "Chen Zuocheng, the transition from spring and summer, around the Shangsi Festival, you are prone to wind and cold. Zuocheng still needs to take care of his health!"

Pay attention to your body?

Chen Qun was stunned and his face was a little strange, but he still politely bowed to Cao Chong for his greetings and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Cao Chong smiled and stepped into the main hall of the backstage pavilion. When he turned around, he saw Chen Qun following him. Cao Chong thought about it and wanted to give the Tao Te Ching to Xun. The fewer people knew about this, the better, especially this person was Cao Pi's person.

So Cao Chong said to Chen Qun with a smile: "Zuo Cheng, I have something to do with Lingjun. I wonder if I can let me meet alone."

Private matter?

Meeting alone?

Chen Qun's face became more and more strange.

The lord of Luoyang is too shameless to proclaim in the daytime.

snort!

Chen Qun's face turned red, he snorted, and stepped out directly.

Cao Chong looked at the honey red and cold snorting on Chen Qun's face, and his heart was a little strange.

Didn’t I just say hello to you?

As for such a big reaction?

Cao Chong shook his head in his heart, but his steps were quickly moving towards the place where Xun was.

Of course, if Cao Chong knew what Chen Qun was thinking, he would probably get angry on the spot.

Chen Qun usually looks like a gentleman, but he didn't expect that he was so dirty inside.
Chapter completed!
