When Shen Xi was a child, a talent and a lifter, he participated in many literary meetings with Su Tong, and also encountered a lot of tricky and mean questions at the literary meeting, among which the most impressive was Wu Xingyu's question of whether a woman fell into the water to save or not, but I didn't expect to be the champion in the exam today to become Hanlin, and to come out to face the difficulties of the scholars, I just hope that these scholars will think about their "future" and don't ask some alternative questions.

"What Cheng Wen did Lord Shen read before preparing for the Autumn Season, and what good articles do you recommend?"

This is a pragmatic candidate, and rigid dogma, although the candidates can memorize Cheng Wen, there is a great risk in memorizing Cheng Wen in the township test, those examiners and fellow examiners have seen more than tens of thousands of Cheng Wen, once they find that there are articles for reference, the result can only be a failure.

But this kind of thing can't be said directly, Shen Xi had no choice but to say some of the Cheng anthologies that Feng Yanqi recommended to him to memorize, and someone immediately wrote them down for exam preparation.

"Lord Shen doesn't know which Fang family's words are more respectful to Song Yixia, so I can read it?"

This is a person who is good at drilling, and directly asking Shen Xi about whom he admires his concept is similar to studying the academic thoughts of the examiner, if he really meets Shen Xi as the examiner, he can answer the question according to his preferences.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old children and talents, shouldn't they delve into knowledge?

Shen Xi didn't reprimand him directly, because he himself would study the examiner's likes and dislikes before every exam, which was simply understandable.

But if he said what ideas he admired more, he really couldn't say. He belongs to the kind of person who gathers the words of a hundred schools of thought, takes its essence and removes its dross, there are desirable and undesirable in any thought, and he will not blindly accept it, so it is different from the thinking of students in this era.

"Uh...... Zhu Zi's learning, acceptable. Shen Xi said a little against his will.

Someone immediately asked: "Lord Shen, the student once heard that when you were taking the Tingzhou Mansion Examination, you refuted Zhu Zi's theory with grotesque arguments, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

And one more person who dares to challenge authority.

I even know about the arguments I learned in the college exam, and it seems that I know a lot about my past.

Shen Xi nodded: "This is true, in the following opinion, if you learn not to ask the school, if you get the essence and be inspired by the knowledge, all for your own use, should be the highest standard of learning." ”

The words made the people present feel quite embarrassed, and the scene was a little quiet for a while, and no one came out to ask questions again.

Because the ideas put forward by Shen Xi now are even more absurd, you even dare to challenge Zhu Xi's thoughts, and now you actually "induce" us to challenge authority, are you not dying on the road to the imperial examination, do you want me to be unable to go to school and lose my name to Sun Shan?

The scene was very embarrassing, but Xie Pi stood up next to him and asked, "Lord Shen, I don't know what you think about Gewuzhi?" ”

This question is tantamount to concretizing the problem.

Shen Xi has refuted science before, and he will have different views on the science of things, even if Shen Xigui is now the champion, it is also a deviant to say that the theory is not tolerated by the world.

However, since Shen Xi is the champion, he has a certain say in academic thought, and he is no longer a fart like before, and he is afraid that he will lose his fame or be targeted by others and affect his career in the imperial examination.

Shen Xi said directly: "In my opinion, the thing lies in establishing one's own heart, eliminating evil for good, and integrating knowledge and action." ”

Many people present looked at each other, Shen Xi's words were not something that ordinary people could understand.

Even Xie Pi asked curiously, "Shen Hanlin doesn't know if you can elaborate on it?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, but it was really embarrassing, originally he didn't want to expound the idea of Xinxue too early, because he had not yet gained a firm foothold in the Confucian circles, and he had to wait for him to write a book and become famous, so that he could put forward some new theoretical ideas, and Wang Shouren in history did this, if he put forward some "fallacies" now, it would not be acceptable to the world at all.

Shen Xi is now like crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time.

The water is shallow, you can continue to walk a few steps, if the water is deep, you can retreat, but you must not go too fast, so as not to fall into the turbulence and not be able to extricate yourself.

Shen Xi didn't dare to directly deny Zhu Xi's science, but wanted to use the brains of these people in front of him to think about and discuss some unreasonable issues in science.

Triggering thinking is the best way to transfer contradictions.

"If you ask why you have this thought, it all lies in the fact that heaven is at ease in people's hearts, do you think so?"

Shen Xi asked a question and let the people present answer.

The question is "Heavenly Reason is in the hearts of the people", this point of view sounds like there is nothing wrong, even Zhu Xi said that the knowledge of things is also to use the heart and thoughts to study things, not with the mouth or body.

"Yes, yes." Those present nodded their heads.

Shen Xi got this answer, in fact, it can be extended to say, because in this era, "Xinxue" has not yet been finalized, what Shen Xi put forward is a family, and it is also a question that can trigger the thinking of the Confucian academic circles.

Zhu Xi's Cheng Zhu Lixue is actually not wrong, but it is only because of the limitations of thinking that there are certain loopholes in Lixue.

If later generations of scientists are allowed to explore this issue, whether science is thought out with their hearts or exhausted, it must be through continuous exploration, not to mention intentions, at most they will return to their original hearts and do everything to explore the truth.

In fact, there is no difference between the two, but the concept is confused by the study of mind.

It cannot be said that Wang Yangming is an opportunist, but at least he accurately grasped the loopholes in science and carried forward his theory.

Shen Xi continued: "In the next thought, when studying things, when returning to the original heart, there is no good and no evil in the heart, do not blind the heart with selfishness and material desires, first to the conscience, and then to the object, so that you can learn and learn." ”

Shen Xi is very smart this time, he didn't criticize Zhu Xi's theory, he just put forward a new point of view for everyone to think, whether this makes sense, if you think it's undesirable, then I won't go on, if you think it makes sense, I won't delve into it, this problem can almost end here.

As for whether it conflicts with Cheng Zhu Lixue, that is a matter of your own thinking, you can't impose your understanding of the point of view on me, saying that this is what I conveyed to you.

To be precise, the reason why Lu Wang's Xinxue can become a set of theories that compete with Cheng Zhu Lixue, and gradually develop and grow in the position of latecomers, has its sufficient theoretical basis and popular aspirations, just like the point of view put forward by Shen Xi, even if some people think it is inappropriate, but they can't find a reason to refute it.

What Shen Xi said is to use his heart to study things, and things are based on the basis of no good and no evil, isn't it right?

But it sounds like empty talk, since all the truth is in the human heart, then everyone is a philosopher, a theorist and a scientist, what do we need to explore from generation to generation?

But the biggest problem in these years is that there is no science as a discipline, even if it is "Gewu", the purpose is only to read books and learn knowledge in a rigid and dogmatic way, no one would have thought that if I stayed on the basis of the study of mind, the development of science in the world may be at the point of arrogance and stagnation, which is not a problem that scholars need to think about at present.

In these years, people are not thinking about how human beings can progress, but how to be above others and be superior. This is the fundamental reason why the psychology of the times can grow.

"Reasonable, reasonable."

Finally, someone affirmed Shen Xi's point of view, and then more people began to agree.

Shen Xi knows that this is completely dependent on his current identity, if he is still the same boy or student as before, he will only be splashed on his head by someone else with a basin of dirty water when he says this, you little kid has not even memorized the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", you dare to claim to be a scholar, and come up with a set of theories to deceive?

Xie Pi felt so inspired, he walked over and asked, "Then I don't know what Shen Hanlin's central idea is about Gewu, I don't know if I can summarize it, I'll go back and refer to it later?" ”

Shen Xi nodded, to summarize the theory of mind, it seemed complicated when the mind was first formed, but after all, he came from the era of the great success of the mind, and the ancestors of the generations had already summarized the essence of Lu Wang's mind clearly.

Xie Pi brought the pen and asked Shen Xi to write down his thoughts on paper.

Shen Xi picked up the pen and recorded the central idea of the study of the mind: "There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and going to evil for good is a thing." ”

After Shen Xi finished writing, many people transcribed the content of Shen Xi's discussion on paper and prepared to take it home and study it slowly.

On the one hand, some people have been inspired by Shen Xi's theory of mind, and have a little opinion on it, and are ready to go back and think about it carefully, but more people are holding a speculative mentality and taking it back to see if there is a place that can be used, perhaps it can be used to infer what ideas Shen Xi admires more, so as to facilitate the study of Shen Xi's preferences as a potential examiner.

After Shen Xi finished writing, the sky gradually darkened, and the literary meeting came to an end...... Xie Pi wanted to bring his little niece home earlier, and if he didn't bring anyone back at night, he couldn't explain it to his mother, Mrs. Xu.

"Everyone, that's all for today." Xie Pi said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite Shen Hanlin to come again to explain your doubts." ”

For many scholars, today is quite fruitful, at least Shen Xi said what Cheng Wen should memorize, and also said a very novel set of theories.

Shen Xi is not an ordinary person, he is the champion of the new department, and he is still the official of the East Palace ordered by the emperor, even the prince accepts his teaching, we can accept a little guidance from him, if he really enters the court as an official in the future, he can even go to him to recognize Mr.

A teacher of one word is also a teacher, not to mention that what Shen Xi teaches is still a whole set of theories?

Everyone came down from the teahouse, and Shen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that this was more tiring than teaching the prince to read.

However, there was one person who was very happy, that is, Xie Hengnu, who had been sitting behind Shen Xi upstairs without speaking, seeing that Shen Xi was young, he could impress so many pretentious older scholars, and she admired it in her heart.

"Seventh brother, you are so powerful, they will listen to whatever you say, can you teach me in the future?" Xie Hengnu asked innocently.

But Xie Pi pulled her: "Jun'er, if you go, if you don't go back, your grandmother will scold, and the second uncle won't help you then." ”

Xie Hengnu looked at Shen Xi aggrievedly for a long time, and finally reluctantly got into the carriage.
