Is Wang Yangming both civil and military?

Be.

Is Yangming Wang physically strong?

Definitely.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Before he put down his bow and arrows, Wang Yangming coughed loudly and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to cover his mouth.

"Uncle!" The two servants immediately went over to help.

"It's fine, don't panic." Wang Yangming pushed the servant away and used the guiding technique to adjust his breathing, and there were faint traces of blood on his sleeve.

Wang Yangming has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and began to cough up blood at the age of 28, and gradually recovered after recuperation. At the age of 30, the old disease relapsed, and he has been in good health ever since. At the age of 37, he was beaten and put in prison with 40 canes, and he came to Guizhou all the way to Guizhou, and recently fell ill again, but he has been struggling to hold on.

Wang Yangming practiced martial arts when he was a child, just to strengthen his body. Later, he practiced guidance techniques to cure lung diseases. Convinced that mercury could cure lung disease, he even took mercury for a while.

Under the recurrence of lung disease, it was strange that he was drinking again just now, and he was pulling the seven bucket bows, and he didn't cough and vomit blood.

Therefore, don't think that Wang Yangming is a macho man, he is very weak.

Emperor Zhengde, who is regarded as a macho man, is also a sick man, which is recorded in the "Records of Filial Piety", "Records of Wuzong" and "History of the Ming Dynasty".

Zhu Houzhao was frail and sick since he was a child, and Emperor Hongzhi canceled the sutra banquet many times, just because his son was sick and in no mood. After becoming the emperor, Zhu Houzhao often fell ill in winter, and once he had a cold that was not cured for three months, and his own immunity was extremely poor.

Wang Yuan glanced at the blood on Wang Yangming's sleeve and thought: Could it be tuberculosis?

There are really some historians who believe that Wang Yangming suffers from tuberculosis, but this is all speculation. But congenital lung disease is certain, it has been manifested since childhood, and Wang Yangming eventually died of lung disease.

"Mr. Yangming, you should quit drinking." Wang Yuan reminded.

Wang Yangming waved his hand and said, "It's okay to have a drink once in a while." ”

Wang Yuan pointed to the four walls of the cave: "Also, you should move out early, the humidity here is very heavy." ”

Wang Yangming said: "The local Miao people are planning to build a few thatched houses for me. ”

"What is the use of a grass roof? It's better to go back to Guizhou City with me. Wang Yuan said.

Wang Yangming shook his head: "I am the Longchang Yicheng, and I must not be too far away from the post station." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Then you have to deal with An Guirong, this Longchang Station is repaired by An Jia, and the daily management and maintenance also depend on An Jia, you have to write a letter to ask An Jia to pay for repairs." ”

"You call him by name, do you know General An?" Wang Yangming asked.

As early as the Chenghua period, An Guirong was awarded the title of "General Zhaoyong", a military attache of the third grade, which is equivalent to an honorary title, which is similar to the "Zhengyi Doctor" and "Jiayi Doctor" of civil officials.

Song Ling'er suddenly laughed: "I have known Fat Man An for a long time, and he is slightly thinner than my Abba. ”

Wang Yangming was curious: "Who is this son-in-law?" ”

Wang Yuan introduced: "Song Ling'er, the daughter of Song Ran, Guizhou's consolation envoy. ”

"I see."

Wang Yangming couldn't help but look at Wang Yuan a few more times, this young man gave him a strange feeling. For their teachers, local officials, and their peers, they all like to use their full names, and they don't even add the word "secret".

Moreover, this young man did not have much respect for him Wang Yangming, but communicated like a familiar friend.

You said that he was disrespectful, and he specially brought wine from Guizhou City, this intention is precious.

Guizhou Jinshi, Wang Yangming has seen it before, but they are not as free and easy as Wang Yuan.

Wang Yangming asked: "How many years have you been studying?" ”

Wang Yuan replied, "Two years." ”

Wang Yangming asked: "How is your studies?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I still remember the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text". "Little Four Books" can no longer be memorized, but the general content is in my heart. "University" and "The Mean" are ripe, and "Mencius" and "Analects" can barely be memorized. I have only studied a few articles in the Book of Rites, and I am studying them carefully. ”

Wang Yangming exclaimed: "You are very talented in reading, and you can recite the "Four Books" in two years. ”

Wang Yangming was able to recite the "Four Books" before he was admitted to the Jinshi, but now he has forgotten a lot, and only the key passages can be recited in full. Even the deputy envoy of the school was almost forgotten, but he picked it up and reviewed it after he became the student officer.

This is normal, that is, the top student in the college entrance examination who was admitted to Tsinghua University, and after a few years, he will forget most of what he learned in high school.

Wang Yuan said: "I am about to ask Mr. Yangming for advice. ”

"Then I'll test you," Wang Yangming was overjoyed when he saw the talent, and directly asked what he had realized before, "Mencius said: 'Those who do their best know their nature. If you know its nature, you will know the sky. Keep its heart and nurture its nature, so everything is also good. Longevity is not two, self-cultivation is in order to take care of it, so it is also life-threatening. What do you think of this passage? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I agree with Zhu Zi very much in this passage, which is nothing more than 'keeping his heart and nurturing his nature, so everything is also good'." ”

The "Heavens" and "Mandate of Heaven" here are not fatalistic, but emphasize "heart" and "sexuality". According to Zhu Xi's explanation, the heart is the god of man, and it has all things in accordance with all things. Sex is the principle of the heart, and man's destiny is realized from the nature of the heart.

In human terms, the mandate of heaven is a person's lifelong mission, keep in mind the mission, never forget the original intention, and work hard to do it.

It's just that Wang Yangming took this opportunity to understand life and death, engraved the oath on the stone pier, and urged himself to practice it all his life.

This is not yet enlightened, but there is already a direction of enlightenment - Zhu Xi emphasizes the relationship between mind, sexuality, and reason, but he doesn't explain how to get reason, only what he says about learning from things, but Wang Yangming has never been qualified. Only when Wang Yangming understands the "reason" can he be regarded as true enlightenment.

Wang Yangming asked again: "What kind of heart do you have, what kind of sex do you raise?" ”

Wang Yuanji pointed to the sky: "My heart is the heart of heaven, my nature is my nature, and my life is my destiny!" Save my heart, nurture my nature, practice my life, that's all. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Yangming laughed, pointed at Wang Yuan and said, "You have the legacy of Lu Xiangshan. ”

Lu Xiangshan is Lu Jiuyuan, a figure in the Southern Song Dynasty, and one of the founders of Lu Wang's Xinxue. He once said that "the universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe", which is similar to what Wang Yuan said just now.

But Wang Yuan didn't know, he asked curiously: "Who is Lu Xiangshan?" ”

Wang Yangming asked rhetorically: "You don't know Lu Xiangshan, but you say 'my heart is the heart of heaven', is it that you realized it yourself?" ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while: "I just think so." Zhu Zi's speech was too general, ambiguous, and full of empty words. Mind and reason, you can't think of it blindly, you have to get in touch with experience. And everyone is different, not only in their own ideas, but also in their own circumstances. The principles I knew when I was 10 years old are different from the principles I knew when I was 12 years old, and it is enough to practice the principles that I think are correct. ”

Wang Yangming pondered silently and said: "I also had this set of principles of yours when I was young. But there is still one thing missing, what you think is the truth may only be a fallacy, and the truth must be in line with the Dao. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head: "Governing the country and securing the people, is it in line with the Great Dao?" ”

"Count." Wang Yangming said.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I am in the Ming Dynasty, and one day I will enter the prime minister, the country that governs is the Ming Dynasty, and the people of An are the people of the Ming Dynasty." I heard that the remnants of Mongolia in the north are on the border every year, and if I want to govern the country and secure the people, I must sweep Mongolia. My avenue is not in line with the Mongolian avenue, and countless Mongolian people may find it difficult to make a living because of me. ”

"This is sophistry!" Wang Yangming is not in the set at all, "Governing the country and the people is a great road in Daming and Mongolia, and it is irrefutable for the truth." You want to distinguish between individuals, but people have differences, but there is no difference. What we should do is how to obtain the truth and follow the path with the truth! It is not a personal fallacy, a personal gossip. If you do not know the truth and practice your life, the stronger your power will be, and the more harm you will cause. ”

"Taught." Wang Yuan clasped his fists, but he didn't care.

After some conversation, it was getting late, and Wang Yuan said goodbye and left.

That night, Wang Yangming couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and Wang Yuan's sentence "My heart is the heart of heaven" lingered in his mind.

"Boom!"

Lightning and thunder roared, as if it were day.

Wang Yangming suddenly stood up in shock, couldn't help but let out a long howl, and said to himself: "The way of the sage, my nature is self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from it are wrong!" ”
