Thirty-eight-year-old Nie Bao respectfully saluted Wang Yuan: "Meet Senior Brother!" ”

"Brother Wen Wei is old, so you don't have to be so formal," Wang Yuan returned the salute and pulled Nie Bao into his seat, "Is the teacher in good health?" ”

Nie Bao said: "Occasional illness, generally fine. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Wen Wei is in Huating, he is really beautiful in his work, and he is the first in the country this year!" ”

Nie Bao said modestly: "It's just practicing the study of the mind." ”

Nie Bao is a 12-year jinshi of Zhengde, and he was awarded the county of Huating. As soon as he took office, he encountered a century-old drought, and Huating County had no harvest.

He first stabbed the soap officials and quickly settled the old officials. Then he took the scribe to open the knife, and recovered 18,600 taels of silver and more than 5,600 stones of rice in the greedy ink tax.

With money and food, Nie Bao immediately began disaster relief. At the same time, the temple fields in the county were inventoried, and the fertile fields occupied by the monks were distributed to the homeless victims, forcing the monks to help with disaster relief.

Then, Nie Bao wooed the local gentry and persuaded the gentry to also provide food for disaster relief. It was at that time that Xu Jie met Nie Bao and followed Nie Bao to study Xinxue, becoming a disciple of Wang Yangming who had no formal entry.

After the disaster relief was completed, Nie Bao rectified the rule of officials, set various rules, and set an example to abide by them, and no one in Huating officials dared to violate them.

Nie Bao served as the county magistrate in Huating for six years, dredged more than 30,000 canals, and repaired more than 12,000 abandoned ponds. As a result, the problem of water shortage in the county was completely solved, grain production increased greatly, and excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were abolished, and within a few years, more than 3,200 runaway households (tens of thousands of people) took the initiative to return to their hometowns to live in peace.

With such a terrifying political achievement, no one can try to suppress it, and this time the exam was rated as the first in the country.

"Has the imperial court's arrangement for Brother Wen Wei been decided?" Wang Yuan asked.

Nie Bao replied: "It has been decided, Liao Shangshu personally assigned, and ordered to patrol Fujian under the order." ”

The magistrate is the seventh grade, and the patrol is still the seventh grade, it seems that Nie Bao is just being leveled, but in fact, he has entered the eyes of the officials and bosses.

As we all know, the governor and the governor are very awesome, but they are restrained by the small governor of the imperial history. Moreover, the imperial court clearly stipulates that local imperial examinations, execution of heavy sentences, trial of unjust cases, participation (impeachment) and promotion (promotion) of officials, discipline (record) inspection (verification) of meritorious rewards, these matters are not allowed to interfere, all within the scope of the imperial history.

When Wang Yuan served as the governor of Zhejiang, he was disgusted several times by the imperial history of Zhejiang, but they shook hands and made peace because of the punishment of infant drowning.

From the prefect of the county directly to the patrol of the imperial history, Nie Bao has already soared into the sky, and the next promotion is likely to be the prefect!

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Liao Shangshu is in politics, and he has always been right about things and people, and he doesn't ask about his background and faction. It is likely that Brother Wen Wei finished the first place in the country, and Liao Shangshu was also alarmed, and personally contacted the household department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and appointed you as the governor of Fujian. ”

Governors, governors, and governors are often subordinate to the Imperial Inspectorate. However, when selecting officials, the opinions of the officials are the main ones. For example, when appointing the governor of Huguang, the officials discussed it with the household department; If it is the governor of Liaodong, the officials need to discuss it with the military department. If there is a difference of opinion, the ministry initiates and presides over the court push, and finally hands it over to the emperor to decide.

Nie Bao said with a smile: "No matter what position you hold, it's just the words 'loyal to the monarch and loving the people'." The heart is reason, and this heart has no disadvantages of selfish desires, which is the principle of heaven, and there is no need to add a point outside. With this pure heart of heavenly reason, the father is filial piety, the king is loyalty, the friendship is faith, and the governance of the people is benevolence. ”

Wang Yuan praised: "Brother Wen Wei is deeply aware of the samadhi. ”

Nie Bao hurriedly said, "I just know a little about the fur." ”

The two chatted again, and then went to the Seongnam Institute of Physics together.

Zou Shouyi, Fang Xianfu and other inheritors of Xinxue have all settled down in the capital. It's just that Zou Shouyi became the review of the Hanlin Academy, and Fang Xianfu is still slowly waiting to fill the vacancy. They gave lectures in the capital and spread the road of mind, sometimes on the street, and sometimes through the lecture hall of the physics school.

At this moment, hundreds of people gathered inside and outside the lecture hall, including students of the physics school and ordinary scholars who were attracted to it.

Zou Shouyi stood on the stage and said: "Those with conscience are nihilistic and all-encompassing; It knows good and eliminates evil, and it is naturally popular. Conscience is both nihilistic and natural, always silent and always clear, and there is no difference between movement and stillness. Because it is sufficient, it is not the true face of conscience to deliberately inflict human damage...... How to reach the conscience? My teacher Yang Minggong once said that there should be caution and fear. I think that Yang Minggong's caution and fear are the same as Cheng Zhu Erxian's main respect, respect, and respect, all for the sake ......of preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires."

Hearing this, Nie Bao instantly frowned, he felt that Zou Shouyi was misinterpreting Yang Ming's mind.

After listening carefully for a while, Nie Bao didn't bother to go over to defend himself, and directly chose to say goodbye to Wang Yuan and leave.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, although there were many schools of thought, they were divided into three schools by later researchers, namely: the left school of the royal gate, the right school of the royal gate and the traditional school of the royal family (Japanese researchers are divided into: the Guishan school, the revision school and the ready-made school).

The left faction of the royal sect is dominated by the Taizhou school, and the founder is Wang Gen.

Why is it called a leftist? Because it's too aggressive. Civil is the way, what is beneficial to the people is the way, everyone only needs to live their own life, that is, they are practicing the road to benefit the country and the people, and even the legal business of businessmen is practicing the way.

The right faction of the royal sect is dominated by the Gui Shan faction, and Nie Bao is one of the representative figures, but he has not yet established a sect.

Nie Bao believes that heaven should be found in silence and silence. His faction wants to be a saint, I will save my body three times a day, and I will cultivate myself to govern the country and level the world. It is believed that only scholars can do it to help the community and help the people, and every scholar should cultivate himself and uprightness, first restrain himself, and then influence others.

As for the traditional school of the royal family, the representative figure is Zou Shouyi. They first recognized Cheng Zhu Lixue, and then developed the science of mind on the basis of Lixue, which is equivalent to the improvement of Cheng Zhu Lixue.

When the rightists encounter the lectures of the traditionalists, it is strange that they can listen to them!

Historically, the study of mind developed to the late Ming Dynasty, and a revisionist school (Donglin School) appeared. The Donglin faction is very close to the ideas of the right faction of the royal family, and they are both "respectful of virtue". It's just that in practice, many Donglin factions let others "respect morality", and it is difficult to say whether they are virtuous or not. And the rightists of the royal family, represented by Nie Bao, practice morality by themselves, and then influence the people.

As for the left faction of the royal family, it later developed the "Crazy Zen School" and the "Practical School".

The mad Zen school, like Confucianism but not Confucianism, like Zen and non-Zen, advocates breaking all shackles and sweeping away all the shackles of truth, so as to return to the original face of "heavenly principles". That is, the pursuit of great emancipation of the mind.

The real school is very interesting. He rejected all Confucian routines from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and only followed the original ideas of Confucius and Mencius, advocated inclusiveness, and learned advanced Western science and technology. For example, Xu Guangqi, who translated "Geometric Originals" with Matteo Ricci, strictly speaking, belongs to the Wangmen School of Mind and Truth. In addition, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui are also representatives of the Shixue School. This school developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the core theory is: emancipating the mind, abandoning the void and seeking truth, and everything is practical and practical, and opposing Yangming Psychology (in fact, it is against the retreating Psychology).

It's a pity that among the many schools of mind in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin faction of officialdom had the upper hand, and the influence of the Shi school was not so great.

It was not until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs that the great trend of thought in the Ming Dynasty was strangled by the neck and directly declared dead, and it finally began to recover after the Opium War.

Why Wang Yangming is regarded as a saint, just look at the above description. His thoughts on psychology influenced the entire middle and late Ming Dynasty, and various currents of thought from officialdom to the people were all variants and branches of Yangming psychology.

Nie Bao left, Wang Yuan continued to listen, and left as he listened.

Zou Shouyi's mental thinking is too traditional, and everything is set in Cheng Zhu's science. Although the physics school also tampered with Cheng Zhu Lixue, they all regarded Zhu Xi as a tool, while Zou Shouyi really regarded Zhu Xi as a sage.

However, scholars with relatively conservative ideas still eat Zou Shouyi's set!

Zou Shouyi has only been back in Beijing for more than a month, and more than 10 disciples have been officially accepted, and dozens of others have regularly come to listen to his lectures.

Fang Xianfu's lecture was just the opposite of Zou Shouyi, this old man directly stepped on Zhu Xi and belittled Zhu Xi to nothing. He admired Mencius, "knowledge of the original" is the core idea of Fang Xianfu, the knowledge of things is to observe the origin of all things, to explore one's own heart, and then to match one's own heart with the heart of a sage.

Some scholars who don't like to study mathematics and physics, and don't treat Zhu Xi well, have joined Fang Xianfu's disciples one after another.

Although the core theories of these two are very different, they both agree on the unity of conscience and knowledge and action. Coupled with the physics school that has been developed in Beijing for many years, the scholars of Beizhili actually opened their mouths and closed their mouths to talk about psychology, which has become an academic trend, which has led to the emergence of a large number of test-taking articles expounding on psychology in the next Shuntianfu Township Examination.

The disciples of Xinxue are not hidden, they will take the test if they get in the exam, and they will pull down if they don't pass the exam, anyway, they should be happy when they write articles!

This is also the case in the township tests in several southern provinces. After the completion of the marking, many old pedant examiners went to ask what the study of mind is, why are there words such as "to conscience" and "unity of knowledge and action" everywhere?

Mental learning, dormant for more than ten years, has begun to flourish!
