Tao Wangling's answer is what Zigong said, Master's article can be obtained and heard; The words of the master and the way of heaven cannot be obtained and heard.

Zhu Xi's interpretation of Zigong's sentence is that the article, Lourdes is seen by outsiders, and the prestige and rhetoric are also. Sexuality, the natural principle of man; The Heavenly Dao, the essence of Heavenly Reason, is actually the same reason......

All in all, Confucius taught his disciples on weekdays, but he never talked about the study of life and the way of heaven.

But because it is not mentioned, it leaves a big question mark.

From this, Zhu Zi believes that the study of life is that the principles of heaven act on people, and the two are actually the same truth.

As for how to comprehend the way of heaven, and return to the university to 'be sincere and knowledgeable', this is not only the foundation of self-cultivation, but also the way to comprehend the way of heaven.

Wang Yangming learned according to this grid, and almost hung up when he went to check the bamboo.

Then Wang Yangming found another way and realized the 'conscience', so Xinxue was born.

Jiao Hong thought of this, and immediately asked: "Although the sage didn't mention it, he also left a way to be honest and sincere, and to learn from things, but according to what Mr. Tao said, how can Lin Xue cultivate himself like this?" How to perceive? Could it be that the truth taught by Mr. Xuegong is the truth of Mr. Tao? ”

Listening to Jiao Hongzhi's words, all the scholars are discussing, the most important 'to conscience' in the study of the mind, the conscience comes from Mencius, what people do not learn and can do, their conscience also, those who know without worrying, their conscience.

Compared with science, the reason of heaven destroys people's desires, and the principles of heaven prevail, and what people do must conform to the principles of heaven, so they are prophets and then act.

The study of mind, on the other hand, is the so-called heavenly principle, which is also the understanding of the human heart. What people do should be in harmony with their inner conscience, and finally achieve the unity of knowledge and action.

Therefore, Jiao Hong questioned forestry from the perspective of epistemology.

Tao Wangling thought to himself that if the north is the world of science, the south is the world of psychology.

Jiao Hong is a great Confucian scholar of Wang Xue, who studied under Geng Xiangxiang, and at the same time was deeply influenced by Li Zhen's Taizhou School, which can be described as the director of both schools of learning and psychology.

Don't refute him, how Lin Xue gained a foothold in the south, my reputation doesn't matter, but if I insult the teacher's reputation, that's the blame.

But Lin Yanchao really didn't say anything about life.

Tao Wangling has studied hard in the past two or three years, and has integrated what Lin Yanchao talks about on weekdays with what he has learned in his daily life, and he usually dabbles in various classics, and in the face of Jiao Hong's doubts, he immediately said: "Lin Xue really doesn't talk about heaven or life." ”

As soon as these words came out, the readers below were in an uproar.

Lin Shibi said loudly: "It's nothing, the law of life, the way of heavenly principles, the Buddha has mentioned it, and Confucianism is the way to enter the WTO." ”

Tao Wangling knew that Lin Shibi would relieve him, but he said: "Tao also asked Mr. when he left Beijing, and Mr. did say that the foundation of Lin Xue lies in going to school and not in Shangda." ”

"I asked him why, he gave an example of me and Dianye, saying that most of the people in the world are people with dull roots, as long as they learn, they must learn from the instrument, and they must understand the way of heaven in the practice of deeds, and the people of Ligen do not have to be like this, so the gentleman is not there."

Listening to Tao Wangling's words, everyone nodded.

"So Lin Xue's advocacy of merit is self-cultivation?" Jiao Hong asked.

Tao Wangling immediately said: "Yes and no." ”

The readers below are a little puzzled. Jiao Hong said with a straight face: "Then ask Mr. Tao?" ”

Tao Wangling smiled and said: "On the Tianquan Bridge, Xushan, and Longxi also asked Mr. Yangming for advice!" ”

As soon as Tao Wangling's words came out, all the scholars were in good spirits, and what Tao Wangling said was that the most important question and answer in Wang Xuexue was Tianquan asked.

Wang Yangming met with his disciples for the last time before his death, and put forward four teachings, that is, there is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is the sentence of Gewu.

Wang Mingyang said that his life's learning is in these four sentences.

At that time, Qian Dehong and Wang Ji had a disagreement on the understanding of these four sentences, Wang Yi believed that the heart is without good and evil, and that the mind, conscience, and things are all without good and evil.

Qian Dehong believes that the heart is good and evil, but it is dusty for material desires, so he works hard to learn about things on weekdays, and finally to conscience.

So on the Tianquan Bridge, the two consulted Wang Yangming with their own views.

Wang Mingyang said to the two, your views are all right, but if you stick to one end, then you will be wrong. People have blunt roots, stupid people do it according to Qian Dehong's method, and smart people do it according to Wang Ji's method, but at the same time, they must also refer to the other party's methods. It's just that you haven't really understood what I mean, and you can only teach your disciples in the future, according to my four sentences, as the foundation of self-cultivation and enlightenment, it is easy to mislead people's children if there are more or less of the four sentences.

Hearing Tao Wangling talking about Tianquan and asking, Jiao Hong couldn't help but smile and asked, "Does Mr. Tao want to talk to me about the four sentences of Yangming?" ”

Saying that the readers present all laughed, for these four sentences of Yangming, countless Wang Xue's disciples have discussed, Tao Wangling is really difficult to have creative ideas in this regard.

Tao Wangling immediately took a step back and said, "In front of Mr. Jiao, I really don't dare to be ugly. ”

Jiao Hong is a virtuous gentleman, and he argues with others not to refute the other party, but to explore the truth.

Immediately, Jiao Hong also gave the other party a step down and said: "In this way, the learning of Mr. Gong is based on Mr. Xushan's method, seeking knowledge of things in the course of deeds, and also seeking truth and knowledge in practice, right?" ”

Everyone understood at the moment that there was no way to attain the original forestry, because of the study of Qian Hongde, but the study of money is to learn from things to the conscience, and the study of forestry is to use practical deeds to achieve true knowledge, which is also the traditional Confucian method of entering the world and enlightenment.

Of course, this is also the method that Wang Yangming said about people with dull roots.

Interpretation and Taoism are to realize the Tao through enlightenment, which is similar to Wang Ji's method, which is the method of birth and enlightenment.

Therefore, when it comes to the way of cognition, it is really the best thing to comprehend Tianli from oneself, what is Zhu Xue, Lin Xue is just one of us.

Tao Wangling didn't answer directly, but smiled and said: "After Tianquan asked, Mr. set off to conquer Sitian, Dehong and Ruzhong chased Yantan, and Ruzhong said that the reality of Buddhism was illusory......"

Everyone listened to it again, but saw that Tao Wangling was talking about another classic question and answer of Wang Xue's 'Yantan Q&A'.

This Yantan Q&A is that after the Tianquan Bridge, the two disciples of Wang Ji and Qian Hongde sent Wang Yangming to Yantan to this place.

Wang Yi didn't understand the way of 'existence and non-existence' in the Four Sentences Teaching, so he asked Wang Yangming what was reality and what was fiction.

Wang Mingyang said, 'The heart is real, the heart is illusory, the unintentional is real, and the heart is illusory.' ’

At that time, Qian Hongde was stunned when he heard this, but Wang Ji understood: "The former is talking about kung fu from the ontology, and the latter is talking about the ontology from kung fu."

Compared with Wang Xue's four sentences, this Yantan Q&A is rarely paid attention to, but it is Wang Xue's ultimate theory, so Tao Wangling proposed that at this time, many readers present did not think so.

Jiao Hong understood that he knew that this Yan Tan Q&A, compared to the Four Sentences Teaching, was the real essence of Wang Xue.

Tao Wangling saw that everyone was puzzled, and then said: "This Yantan four sentences, everyone has thousands of understandings, with the answer of whether there is or not, in fact, I secretly think that people want to meditate and chant the scriptures, just meditate and chant the scriptures, if you don't want to meditate and chant the scriptures, don't meditate and chant the scriptures, those who have a heart can be successful, and those who have no heart can not be achieved, this is from the ontology of kung fu." ”

Tao Wangling said that the heart is real, and the unintentional is illusory, and the will of the person can change external objects, which is ontological kung fu.

"People want to meditate and chant the scriptures to seek inner peace, but the more they have the intention to ask for it, the more they can't get it, and they have no intention of saving it but they can have peace of mind.

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, some people asked: "If Mr. Tao says so, we don't have to mind external objects, isn't this the nihilism of Buddhism?" ”

Tao Wangling smiled and said: "That's the meaning of our misunderstanding of nothingness, just like a person's dream, lying on the bed, untying his clothes, and closing his eyes, that is, he has a heart, but if he wants to dream, is it enough to have a heart?" The more this heart is, the more obsessed it becomes, the more unable it is to sleep, but it doesn't think about anything, and when it has no intention of falling asleep, it falls asleep. I don't think about anything, I just don't think about it. ”

After listening to Tao Wangling's words, Jiao Hong suddenly felt empowered.

The readers also had a bright eye, and they immediately understood.

Tao Wangling said: "The reason why the sage doesn't mention the study of life is this, because the study of life is already in our work." ”

"Reading, learning from things, and doing things are all the law of the heart, just as people want to dream, they must first close their eyes and lie in bed, which can be taught, but the way of dreaming without a heart can not be taught, if the heart is attached to this thought, all those who have dull roots will fall into self-grasping, the more they seek the way, the more they cannot find the way, and the more they discern the truth, the more they will not know the truth, so the sage never breaks it, and the law does not spread the six ears, and the truth is also in it."

Tang Xianzu, who was on the side, couldn't help but cheer for Tao Wangling's words.

Wu Nian bowed and said: "The unintentional thing that Tao Jushi said is that he sees a mountain or a mountain." ”

Tang Xianzu also said: "I understand, what I do is to see the mountain is the mountain, what I say is the heart, so there is no good and no evil, the mountain is not a mountain, it is the meaning, so there is good and evil, see the mountain or the mountain, it is said to be conscience, so I know good and know evil." ”

Wu Nian laughed when he heard this, bowed to Tang Xianzu and said: "Tang Jushi is right, after listening to Mr. Tao's words, a new world has opened up in the eyes of the poor monk, and I will immediately return to Huang An Wuzen, if I can break the barrier, I will worship his gift." ”

Saying that, Wunian rolled up his sleeves and strode away, Tang Xianzu asked, "Why don't Zen Master Wunian ...... with Brother Jiao?"

Speaking of this, Tang Xianzu suddenly stopped and smiled, looking at the other party in the distance.

At this time, on the high platform, Jiao Hong was also convinced by Tao Wangling, and immediately said to him: "Mr. Tao is as knowledgeable as the sea, and Jiao is a three-inch small ruler, and he dares to say that it is too self-sufficient to measure. Jiao dared to invite Mr. Tao to give a lecture at Chongzheng Academy! ”

Tao Wangling hurriedly said: "Mr. Jiao praised it falsely, what I have learned is a drop in the ocean compared to Mr. Xuegong, and the galaxy is a sand." ”

Hearing this, Jiao Hong didn't mind at all, but said happily: "This is the wall of the master, and you can't enter it." Mr. Xuegong, as a spring official of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the world's major affairs in Beijing and assisted the Son of Heaven, and it was really difficult for us to see him. Mr. Tao has learned the true biography of Mr. Gong, and he will be able to solve our confusion, and I sincerely ask the academy to be around for a few months, so that I can wait for Jinling Juncai to hear the avenue. ”

The readers below also said: "Yes, Mr. Tao, please stay in Jinling!" ”

Tao Wangling saw this scene, but he could only agree.

Lin Shibi on the side was also shocked, Lin Yanchao really has the ability, even one of his disciples is so good.

Tao Wangling and Jiao Hong's discussion in the Heavenly Realm Temple is a major event in Jiangnan Shilin.

Ying Tian is the base camp of Wang Xue, and the scolding battle between Geng Xiang and Li Zhen two years ago was a big portal battle within Xinxue.

And Jiao Hong, who is also Geng Directional, and the two of them have learned a lot, also has considerable weight in Ying Tianwang's studies. He personally invited Tao Wangling to give a lecture at the most famous Chongzheng Academy in Jiangnan.

This incident undoubtedly represents Wang Xue's affirmation of the status of Lin Xue, and also represents Jiangnan Shilin's attitude towards Lin Xue, because Yingtian is the place where Jiangnan scholars gather, and this is the time for Yingtianxiang to test.

Tao Wangling stayed in Jinling for three months, and wrote a book in his spare time, which further expounded the concept of forestry than Lin Yanchao's lecture notes in Xuegongtang, and was more popular and closer to the views of today's readers, so it was popular in Jiangnan.

Tao Wangling has since called himself Shi Xuan, and the disciples of Lin Xue have called him Mr. Shi Xuan.

And Lin Xue also radiated to the entire Jiangnan because of Tao Wangling's lecture in Jinling and the "Shijiao Collection" from Zhejiang Province.

From Huguang Public Security County, to Zhejiang Province, and gradually to the entire Jiangnan, I don't know that most readers put down the notes of Cheng Zhuzhi, which used to be regarded as the golden rule, and they held Lin Yanchao in their hands, and Tao Wangling's works were carefully pondered.

Is it to change the law or the ancestral law?

Is it a heavy agriculture or a business benefit?

Is benevolence or merit?

The sixteenth year of Wanli is really an ordinary year for Jiangnan readers, but it is also an extraordinary year, history is slowly moving forward, but unconsciously it has changed a little direction than the original.

On the Grand Canal near the capital.

An official ship was moving slowly, and an old man was holding the Tianli newspaper in his hand to read, and when he saw the words green pine and cypress in the newspaper, he couldn't help but nod slowly.

"Master, I'm going to Tongzhou tomorrow."

A subordinate put on the old man's clothes, and the old man said: "Well written, Lin Zonghai's article can bring people back to life!" With this article, Haigang Peak will be remembered for eternity. ”

The subordinate said: "But master, Yingtian's officialdom does not have a high opinion of Hai Gangfeng, saying that he is straightforward, ignorant of current affairs, and clings to Taizu's old rules!" ”

The old man sneered: "Those officials really said one thing and did it, back then, Zhang Jiangling's new policy, they said that Zhang Jiangling vainly moved the law of the ancestors, and Hai Gangfeng wanted to restore the law of the ancestors, and they said that Hai Gangfeng was conformist, what is it, it is not what they say, if it is good, if it is not good, if it is not good, if it is harmful, it will be violent, and the court will die in the hands of these people!" ”

This old man's beard shook and his face was full of righteousness, this person was none other than the former imperial history of Nanjing, the right capital of Nanjing, who had just fought with Li Zhen, and his name was Confucian Geng.

This time, Geng Xiang was ordered to enter Beijing, and the governor of Cangchang, that is, Cangchang Shilang.
