The question that Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about was.

From King Qin's burning of books to Confucianism, to the Han Dynasty's deposition of Confucianism.

Confucianism and psychology, but the emperor's tools for governing the world, there is no right or wrong, and if you can conform to your own concept of governing the world, you will be respected by the emperor as a national study.

He also has his own thoughts, if he can see that the study of the mind is a good governance for the court and the world.

Needless to say, he will also be regarded as a national study, just like the Qin King Han Wushi was as domineering.

But......

After all, it is just my conjecture, and it has not yet been confirmed.

Metropolitan Inspectorate, duty room.

Yan Chengjin heard that His Majesty went to the Liangxiang Library to listen to the heart, and it seemed that he was tempted.

"Brother Bo'an is a little bit sure, he can win the debate and win the princes in the court, you don't have to be modest, just tell the subordinates."

His Majesty listened to the Xinxue, and perhaps asked Wang Shouren about the need to prepare first.

Wang Shouren didn't know why: "Why do you want to argue with the princes in the court?" ”

"This matter is not only related to the imperial examination, but also related to Brother Bo'an's ambitions."

Wang Shouren's eyes were blank, his ambition was not to be an official, but to become a saint: "Old brother, what is the matter?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Bo'an, the exam questions that come out below are mental studies."

Wang Shouren was stunned, and the corners of his eyes gradually lit up, although he knew that Yan Chengjin might have other calculations.

At this time, I still couldn't stop crying.

The old brother is the one who has always enlightened him to comprehend the study of the mind.

No wonder, His Majesty would suddenly go to Liangxiang to listen to Xinxue.

"If you take the risk of disapproval, you are 100% sure that you will win the debate."

What a confident guy......

"My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you to the Fengtian Temple." At this moment, Jiang Wen walked in.

He was already on duty, and His Majesty asked him to work overtime, and it seemed that there was something important to discuss.

Yan Chengjin took out three taels of silver: "The cabinet and the six ministries are also there, or are they only the officials called?" ”

"The Cabinet and the nine adults from the six ministries are here." The little eunuch took the silver and said happily.

The cabinet and the six ministries are there, and His Majesty summoned him to consult, and he should be a scholar of the imperial examination.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Chengjin hurriedly came to the Fengtian Palace, and when he stepped into the gate, he obviously felt the oppression of his gaze.

The cabinet and the officials of the six ministries glared angrily, and Emperor Hongzhi's face remained as usual.

"You actually use the study of mind as an exam?" Xiong Wrap whispered.

"The minister knows that this son's knowledge is still too shallow, and he can believe in learning such a doctrine, Your Majesty, it is better for the minister to be the chief examiner."

Zhang Sheng continued to admonish.

Yan Chengjin also wanted to take off the examiner's hat, just three days of retreat in the Gongyuan was outrageous.

Besides, he does not lack protégés, and the imperial examination is useless to him.

But His Majesty seems to have decided on him, and he has to let him come once.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and suppressed the quarrel in the hall: "Let's listen to Yan Qing's family first, why do you want to set up a heart school." ”

In Liangxiang, after listening to the heart for nearly half an hour, it triggered the thinking of the Qin King and Han Wu, and it was not for nothing.

Yan Chengjin said: "The court selects people for the purpose of taking people who can be appointed.

The Four Books and Five Classics have been examined for nearly 100 years, but no saints were born in the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the truth of Confucianism has been finished.

The study of mind is closely related to Confucianism.

In the autumn season, each province will issue questions separately, even if it is tried in Beizhili first, it will not affect the candidates in the world.

The imperial court can record the people who learn from the heart, whether it is good government or bad government, and it will be clear in ten years. ”

Yan Chengjin is fully sure.

At this time, the implementation of mind science was very different from the implementation of mind science in the previous life, the Hongzhi Dynasty and the Zhengde Dynasty.

The science of Liangxiang has become a prototype, and the study of mind has opened the seal of thought.

For Da Ming, it's like dry wood meets fire.

Xiong Wei asked arguedly: "What do you mean, learn from your heart, and Daming will produce another saint?" ”

"The official didn't say that, what the official said was, maybe, probably, I'm afraid, it's not true, Lord Xiong don't want to slander the official." Yan Chengjin looked at Xiong Wei, he hadn't been impeached for a long time.

Xiong Wei only refuted for the sake of refuting him, not for the sake of the imperial court.

The sons of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have either announced that they will not be able to pass the imperial examination, or they have already arranged official positions, which have little to do with their interests.

All they care about is whether the study of mind can be respected as a national study.

Xiong Wrap seems to be just trying to justify him.

Liu Jian stroked his beard and expressed the worries of the officials: "Although Qiu Yan only inspected in Beizhili and learned from his heart, he was not verified after all. ”

"If it is useless after implementation, the lower officials will take the blame and resign."

Yan Chengjin estimated that even if he resigned, when Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he would be reactivated.

Maybe you can skip a grade and directly become the first assistant of the cabinet, just like changing jobs in later generations and raising wages faster.

Xiong Qi and Qin Hong's eyes lit up slightly: "Lord Yan is so confident, and he has excellent mental learning, can he be implemented in Beizhili?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Yan Chengjin: "Don't talk about your resignation all day long, and summon Wang Shouren." ”

Soon, Wang Shouren appeared in the main hall.

The ministers also did not look good at Wang Shouren.

"I heard from Yan Qing's family, Wang Qing's family's mental learning was learned from Song Jing and a few others?"

"Exactly, it also has a lot to do with Lord Yan's mention." Wang Shouren said.

Wang Shouren's honorific title of saint was sealed by the world after he had been dead for a long time.

If you can be sanctified in the world, I don't know what kind of scene it will be for the Ming Dynasty and the world.

The vigorous promotion of the study of the mind may make Wang Shouren sanctified.

Yan Chengjin said: "The minister believes that Wang Shouren can become a saint. ”

Wang Shouren bowed slightly: "The minister will definitely spend his life and become a saint!" ”

To become a saint, one needs to be familiar with all the truths of the world, have great merits to the world, and benefit the world, in order to be called a saint.

You are Chinese cabbages when you are saints, and you can change if you want to?

If you don't reflect on it, you dare to claim to be a saint.

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, one really dared to say, and the other really dared to answer.

The minister stiffly held the card, like a statue in a temple.

"Do you know what a saint is?" Emperor Hongji took a deep breath.

Wang Shouren bowed slightly: "Those who can establish a life for the people and open peace for all generations are saints." ”

It's not that simple, the reason why saints are called saints is because the principles they put forward can solve all the problems in the world, and what they say is right.

This is an important reason for taking the knowledge of saints as the standard for taking judges.

If there is a living saint, what else in the world cannot be solved? Why worry about the prosperity not coming?

Yan Chengjin's plan is to promote it on a small scale in Beizhili first.

It is necessary to let His Majesty and the princes think that the study of the mind is not a heretical doctrine, and Wang Shouren needs to refute the princes.

Liu Jian asked: "What do you mean, what Song Jing and Xie Pi did was all mental learning." ”

"Students don't dare to be so arrogant, but what Song Jing and Xie Pi practice is indeed the unity of knowledge and action in mind." Wang Shouren said.

While His Majesty and the ministers were pondering, Wang Shouren continued: "Your Majesty just asked, why did Confucianism be included in the imperial examination?

The minister thinks that it is because the teachings of the saints can make people understand.

The study of the mind can also make people enlightened, and in the same way, the study of the mind can also be used as the knowledge of the imperial examination. ”
