At the end of the day, the afternoon class of the school began, Cao Yi because of the first day today, he didn't know who was going to have the afternoon class, and he held the idea that whoever came was safe, anyone could talk about it, as long as he could tell new ideas and have new inspiration for himself.

However, when the afternoon lecture came to the stage, not only Cao Yi was shocked, but even many students in the room also shouted excitedly.

Because the person who came was none other than Lu Meng and Lu Lao, the supervisor of Jiangning Mansion. For the students who have been studying hard in the school for many days, they naturally know that this Lu Gong usually does not come out often, and basically only comes out to give a lecture every one or two months. But in terms of academic level, Lu Lao can be said to be the best teacher in Jiangning, and he is a Confucian who really has a university question.

After Lu Lao came in, he first looked around everyone in the class, but when he swept Cao Yi, he nodded slightly, if Cao Yi hadn't been staring at it, the two of them just glanced at each other, otherwise they really wouldn't have found it.

Although Lu Lao had already passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven at this time, his voice was clear and loud, full of energy, and everyone could hear it clearly. "This afternoon, I will give you a lecture, the content is not much, a total of only twenty-two words, only four sentences! But if you can thoroughly understand these four sentences and persist in practicing them all your life, then I firmly believe that you will be another Confucian sage after Confucius and Mencius! ”

Lu Lao's words caused a full house of scholars to exclaim! is mainly another saint after Kong Shengyasheng, this statement is too shocking. made everyone present feel that their breathing became short, because for these students, becoming another saint after Confucius and Mencius is not only a personal lifelong achievement, but also a family glory of the ancestors, and an immortal cause for thousands of generations.

Cao Yi covered his face with his hands, wailing in his heart, he actually didn't want to be in the limelight, he made a fortune in a muffled voice, and then used this money to do something meaningful to his life, which was his lifelong pursuit. Cao Yi sighed inwardly, isn't it possible that a man like him is destined to live a beautiful life?

Lu Lao's hands were pressed weakly, and he waited for the full hall of scholars to be completely quiet before he spoke: "These four sentences were accidentally heard by me when I was walking on campus in the morning, although the voice was small at that time, but it was deafening and thought-provoking, and it was said by one of our students here, at such a young age, but with such a big pattern and ambition, it is really amazing!" ”

"Don't talk about me! Don't say me! Don't say me! Cao Yi lowered his head below and read silently, and did not look at Lu Lao, for fear of being noticed by him, and then said his name, but he knew the status and influence of this sentence among the ancient Confucian scholars, and he had only a private conversation with the red sleeves before, joking, so he said it unscrupulously. Who knew that there were two people behind him who happened to hear it, and he didn't expect it to be like this. If Lu Lao really said his name at this time, then he might really be killed to death, and those false reputations would be very bad at that time

It is easy to make him carry more shackles and shackles.

"As for the name, I won't say it today, otherwise it is likely to cause the opposite effect of pulling out the seedlings, and it will also make this student bear the pressure and reputation that he should not have at his age, and it is easy to completely lose himself if he is not careful, so this student must guard against arrogance and rashness in the future, don't think that he has talent, and don't study hard, you must know that people have to live to learn all the time, even if they are at my age, they still have to work and study!"

Cao Yi slapped his forehead, and said to himself in his heart: "This Lu Lao, what a grudge, even now I have to teach me about not coming to Fuxue to go to school before......"

"Okay, let's get down to business, those twenty-two words are 'set up for heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints, for the eternal peace'" Lu Lao said word by word, as if containing the heart of saving the people and helping the world.

"To establish a heart for heaven and earth is to establish the heart of heaven, which can make the world happy and passable, and the heart of man is the heart of heaven and earth. Because the goodness of the human heart is the righteousness of heaven and earth. Once the good end is restored, it will be in harmony with heaven and earth. Therefore, benevolence and love for things, with the heart of benevolence and benevolence. Heaven and earth take living things as their hearts, and people's hearts are based on compassion, that is, the heart of not tolerating others, just as Confucius said that do not do to others what you do not want. Therefore, the great virtue of heaven and earth can be called life, and the whole virtue of the human heart can be called benevolence. There is nothing more important than knowing benevolence, seeking benevolence, being benevolent, and resisting unkindness. ”

"Establishing a life for the people, as the name suggests, is for the people of the world to be able to live in peace. Since ancient times, everyone has believed that man's destiny is destined. However, as long as we can achieve such a state through our own self-cultivation and teaching, that is, no matter how long or short a person's life expectancy is, we can maintain our own sexual and physical virtue, then this person can be said to have settled down, and what we have to do is for the people of the world to establish the meaning of life in the world. Lu Lao talked eloquently on it, which also made Cao Yi feel admired, he was because he knew the famous four sentences of Hengqu, and Lu Lao only heard them for the first time in the morning, he could explain them so thoroughly in the afternoon, everyone can understand and recognize, which can see the depth of Lu Lao's knowledge and profound experience.

Lu Lao simply stepped down from the stage after speaking, and talked while walking in the classroom: "The learning of Confucian sages has been from the two Han Dynasty onwards, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, for thousands of years, have long been exhausted. Seeking to be a sage rather than a saint is a big disadvantage of scholars since the Qin and Han dynasties! Learning must be like a saint, and this principle is not for Yao, not for death. In the holy it does not increase, and in all it does not decrease...... Inheritance is not to be taught, but to be followed. The old state has a new life, and it needs to be philosophized and walk with the times. Confucianism needs to be completed in the inheritance of innovation, to know what the Nine Classics have not contained, and what the sages do not say. The so-called presiding over the famous religion and taking on the way of the world is to continue to learn from the saints. ”

"The king rules the world with the Tao, and the future generations only control the world with the law, and the inner saint and the outer king are consistent...... In order to open peace for all generations, Zhou Gong and Kong Sheng have mentioned Taiping and Datong

The idea of a society is the most profound and solemn concept in Confucian scholarship. Therefore, it is not a single big task, but a summary of the first three sentences. There is only one fundamental purpose of establishing one's heart, establishing one's life, and continuing one's learning, all of which are to open up peace, and to create a foundation for eternal peace. Leading the world to achieve orderly and sustainable development with the way of sages, so that the weather can open peace for all generations. ”

"Have you remembered and understood the four sentences I said above and the respective truths behind them?" Lu Lao looked around at the students present with righteous eyes. However, many students are either thinking deeply, or looking confused, there are few people who look at Lu Lao, even Cao Yi saw Lu Lao looking over, and quickly lowered his head not to look at Lu Lao, and the province was called by Lu Lao by his name when the time came.

These four sentences tell us to establish the sky, the earth, and the people, so that sincerity, righteousness, objectivity, knowledge, reason, self-cultivation, family, governing the country and the world, and striving to reach the realm of sages. What else do others know? If no one can say anything, then I'll have to ask by name! After a while, Elder Lu began to ask again.

At this time, even the few students who looked at Lu Lao before hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear of being named by Lu Lao. Just when Cao Yi was praying in his heart that Lu Lao would not click on him, there was a voice in his ears that he didn't want to hear.

"Cao Yi, as the first talent in Jiangning, you can tell me how you feel about these four sentences."

Because everyone didn't look at him just now, Lu Lao himself was a little angry and unhappy, but when he saw that Cao Yi dared to hide from him, he immediately sent this nameless fire to Cao Yi's head, so at this time, he directly named Cao Yi, thinking that since he said these four sentences, he must be able to tell these four sentences at the head of the Tao, if even Cao Yi can't say it, then this class is bound to be cold, and no one else can say it.

And many students present can roughly have three emotions towards Cao Yi, one is a person like Shen Yan who can't wait to see Cao Yi make a fool of himself, and because he can't answer, he will be exposed to the title of Jiangning's No. 1 talent. The second is neutral, I want to see what talent Cao Yi has and whether he is worthy of the title of Jiangning's first talent. The third is like Sikong Ye and Red Sleeves, who believe in Cao Yi's talent, but are a little worried that Cao Yi can't say it. These three kinds of people, including Lu Lao, looked at Cao Yi expectantly at this time, which made Cao Yi can't help but smile bitterly, he really doesn't want to be in the limelight anymore, but the strength doesn't allow it!

Cao Yi got up and stood, bowed to Lu Lao, and spoke, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest cowardice and panic: "According to the following, these four sentences are actually to tell us that we must go through the changes of the past and the present and establish the heart of life for heaven and earth; Actively expound on the study and arguments for the people of the world, and point out a moral path for them to follow together; Inherit and innovate and develop the knowledge that Confucius and Mencius and other sages have not yet talked about, and devote themselves to the new voice of scholarship; Suggestions and suggestions for the society of the country, and undertake the magnificent mission of opening up a permanent peaceful foundation for future generations in the world. ”
