Chapter 604: Accepting Disciples? (3rd Update)
The good and dignified mental science forum suddenly became a memorial service for Chen Xianzhang, which was a situation that the scholars who came to join in the excitement did not expect.
Chen Xianzhang's fame in the world was not small, but it was far less famous than after his death, and among his disciples were a generation of famous ministers and philosophers Zhan Ruoshui, who was also the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Officials, and War, as well as Liang Chu, a future cabinet scholar, and a large number of disciples who wanted to carry forward other ideas.
In the eyes of these utilitarian young scholars, even if Chen Xianzhang is knowledgeable, he is also an ordinary Confucian who is not a scholar, there are so many great Confucians in the world, and those who have no talent to learn dare to say that they learned from Confucius and Mencius, and chased Cheng Zhu directly.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, how many people's talents can compete with Cheng Zhu?
"Go down, go down!"
Xie Pi was very wronged, this was not what he wanted to talk about at all.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
"We have to listen to the heart!"
Facing Xie Pi, who came out to give a speech according to Shen Xi's speech, the scholars present were angry, and they didn't care about Xie Pi's speech at all...... didn't invite out the legendary "big man" who pioneered the study of mind, in the eyes of these people, it was Xie Pi's fault.
Hanging sheep's head and dog meat, this Xie Pi is really in vain!
Mind is not worth mentioning.
A bunch of people were loud and noisy, Xie Pi's voice was drowned in the noisy voices, and some people even wanted to go up to the high platform to catch Xie Pi and beat him, but Xie Pi stood in front of more than a dozen strong servants and a group of friends, like guards, firmly protecting Xie Pi on the pulpit in front of the temple hall.
Xie Pi saw that the situation was a little out of control, so he had to keep silent, get down from the high platform, and retreat to the apse.
Seeing Shen Xi, he wiped his sweat, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you asked me to mourn Mr. Baisha, but no one in the capital knows him, not even me, isn't this a joke?" ”
Shen Xi Zhengse said: "To do learning, you can't see whether others are laughing at you, when you first went to talk to people about psychology, did you think about whether you would be laughed at?" ”
Xie Pi thought about it, the first time he heard Shen Xi talk about psychology, it was of a discussion nature, and after listening to Shen Xi talk about it, he felt very inspired, so he went to his classmates and friends to tell him what he had experienced, they were all a bunch of friends gathered together to discuss, even if anyone said something wrong, no one laughed.
"What Mr. said is true, but why did Mr. Sir let me preach Mr. Baisha's knowledge?" Xie Pi was still a little puzzled.
Shen Xi said: "Mr. Bai Sha once worshipped Wu Hebi, a physicist from Jiangxi Cheng Zhu, as a teacher, and studied the 'Book of Ancient Sages and Teachings', which can be said to be the authentic Zhu Zi Theory, but slowly he began to reflect on the science, and he advocated the meditation room and advocated the cultivation method of 'taking nature as the sect'. This 'natural' is a state of simplicity, naturalness, no burden, and absolute freedom in all things, and it requires people to be good at understanding the 'true mind' in this 'natural' state, which is in line with what I am talking about. It will be of great benefit to your understanding of the study of mind that you study his scholarship more. ”
Xie Pi said with relief: "The psychology that Mr. created should also get a lot of inspiration from Mr. Baisha?" ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, "My mind study is completely from Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming, and it belongs to a mature ideological system, let me ponder it myself, I'm afraid I won't have achievements in a few decades." ”
But now Shen Xi wants to persuade Xie Pi to go back to the right path of the imperial examination, and he can only understand it with the mentality of ordinary people, saying that he understands the mind according to other people's thoughts, so that it can be more easily accepted by the mainstream of society, so he can only nod and admit it.
Xie Pi's face regained his confidence, and said, "Then the student will use Mr. Baisha's academic ideas to discuss with his acquaintance, Mr. will wait here first, and I will go out." ”
The scholars who didn't make friends with the big people outside and deliberately made trouble were almost gone by now, and the rest were some who really wanted to stay and listen to the lecture.
After Xie Pi went out, he asked the temple door to be closed, and the remaining scholars were not even twenty percent of the original, only forty or fifty people, each with a cushion to sit on, and finally turned this academic forum into a meeting where only a few people discussed knowledge together.
Xie Hengnu looked at Shen Xi from the side for a long time, and begged with a smile: "Seventh brother, I want to go out to listen to the second uncle's speech, you go out with me?" ”
"Hmm."
Shen Xi and Xie Hengnu came out together, and many scholars outside had seen Shen Xi last time, and they all got up and saluted. Shen Xi was the youngest among the scholars, but his position was the most respected, and after he sat down, Xie Pi resumed his lecture.
The scholars present were mostly distracted and paid attention to Shen Xi's every move.
"Mr. Shen, I don't know what other ideas you have to learn, you might as well talk to me and others, so that I can make some progress."
Xie Pi finished Shen Xi's speech and came over to ask Shen Xi for instructions, wanting Shen Xi to be the keynote speaker and preach the study of mind for the scholars present.
Shen Xi shook his head firmly and said: "There are many imperfections in the study of the mind, and it is not appropriate to talk about it now. Your future is more important than academics......"
A young gentleman stood up and said solemnly: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." Life in the world is to seek the truth, but I don't know why Shen Hanlin said that the mediocre imperial examination is more important? Could this be the reason why Shen Hanlin was admitted to the top prize at a young age? ”
When Xie Pi heard this, he hurriedly stopped the man: "Brother Pingju, don't be rude to Mr. Shen!" ”
The man shook his head a little dissatisfied, looking a little unwilling, but finally sat down.
Because of this episode, the atmosphere present was not very good, no matter what Shen Xi said, he was a scholar who served in the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion, and he was also the person who originally proposed the concept of "Xinxue", and he was rudely rushed, and the scholars present had some opinions about that person.
On the contrary, it was Shen Xi himself who didn't mind too much.
Young students, a little emotional is inevitable, not to mention that people are right, this world has to say that the way of the imperial examination is above doing learning, too snobbish. Take the previous commemoration of Mr. Baisha as an example, people have not been admitted to the Jinshi in their lives, and they have not achieved fame and fame for future generations?
When the pulpit ended, the scholars dispersed on their own, and Xie Pi stayed for the time being, constantly accusing Shen Xi.
Xie Pi said: "Actually, Brother Pingju is quite friendly to people on weekdays, but sometimes he is too stubborn, and there are few friends around him, I can't be friends with him on weekdays, and he has to stay today!" ”
Shen Xi nodded, because the nature of today's pulpit is special, so many people came at the beginning, and in the end, what didn't leave was that they wanted to learn a little more about their minds, and they couldn't drive people away, let alone know each other.
Shen Xi said: "That benevolent brother doesn't know what to call him? ”
Xie Pi said: "The surname is Feng, the name, the word is flat, I was born a few years earlier, and I took the exam twice, but I didn't win." ”
Shen Xi nodded in relief, he was also wondering if there was a celebrity named Feng Yi in Daming, but unfortunately he didn't have any impression, it can be seen that this person is unknown in the long history.
And Xie Pi is surrounded by many important ministers of the future Ming Dynasty.
"If I have the opportunity, I want to sit down with this Brother Feng and have a good talk, his words are also thought-provoking." Shen Xi said casually, looking very emotional, but in fact, Shen Xi just wanted to say something good for Feng Yi, so that Xie Pi and the others would not worry about Feng Yi because of this.
When Xie Pi heard this, his face really looked better, and he said with a smile: "Then the returning student must help Mr. introduce him." ”
Shen Xi and Xie Pi came out of the backyard of the Buddhist temple together, ready to return home, at this time Xie Hengnu followed behind a little lost, not long after coming out, he followed Shen Xi and Xie Pi out to listen to a speech that she couldn't understand at all, and at this time she was going home, she didn't feel like she had fun.
Xie Hengnu had no choice but to beg Xie Pi at this time: "Second uncle, will you take me out for a walk?" Didn't you say that after August, there are a lot of lively and fun places in the capital? ”
Xie Pi said angrily: "Take you to Dahua Temple, your grandfather will definitely complain if you know it, it is better to go back early......
"Oh."
Xie Hengnu lowered his head aggrievedly, but remembered that there was Shen Xi next to him, raised his head and looked at Shen Xi with some expectation, and asked, "Seventh brother, I'm going back, when will you have time to come back to my house to play?" ”
Childish words, girls actually take the initiative to invite men to play at home, and it will make people laugh when they say it.
Xie Pi pulled his niece and said, "There are no rules, the second uncle calls Mr. Shen, and you are still called Seventh Brother, will you let me call you aunt in the future?" ”
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Xie Hengnu thought about it, and the elder suddenly became the junior, and he felt very funny, and he actually laughed out loud.
Xie Pi glared at her and confessed to Shen Xi: "Don't be surprised Mr. Shen, she has no control at home, which is a bit rude." After speaking, he whispered to Xie Hengnu and threatened, "Look at me and take you out in the future!" ”
Xie Hengnu's face showed a little loss again.
"Let's go, Mr. Shen, I'll have you sent you back in a carriage, and we'll say goodbye here." When he arrived at the gate of the temple, Xie Pi first asked Xie Hengnu to get into the carriage, and then said to Shen Xi.
Xie Hengnu got into the carriage, her little head showed the curtain, looking at Shen Xi and Xie Pi, she really hoped that Shen Xi could get in the car and go with her.
Shen Xi saluted: "Don't worry about me, if I want to use the car, I will go to find it, but you have to go back early, otherwise Mr. Xie will not be able to explain if he knows." ”
Xie Pi hurriedly returned the salute, and then got into the carriage and left.
Shen Xi watched the carriage go away, and was about to rent a car at a nearby carriage and horse shop, but someone walked over to him, it was Feng Yi who spoke disrespectfully to him on the pulpit.
Feng Yi is over twenty years old, older than Xie Pi and others, and he has a withdrawn personality, so it is not surprising that he is treated coldly.
Feng Yi came over and saluted Shen Xi first: "The student spoke recklessly before, please don't blame Shen Hanlin." ”
"How?"
Shen Xi smiled, although this Feng Yi was a little stubborn, but he seemed to be a very good talker, maybe others misunderstood him, "Brother Feng is right, you can't just think about the imperial examination when doing studies, you should dabble in more knowledge, in fact, in retrospect, there are many deficiencies in doing studies below." ”
Feng Yi didn't expect Shen Xi to be so approachable, originally in his opinion, a young and ambitious scholar like Shen Xi should be imposing and talentless.
Feng Yi thought to himself: "No wonder he can win the champion and be Hanlin, he is really not an ordinary person." ”
Shen Xi said: "If Brother Feng is not in a hurry, find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”
Feng Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, the student is only shallow, how dare you ......?"
Shen Xi interrupted Feng Yi's words with a smile: "It's the same as learning, where is there a talent to learn the depths, the focus is different." ”
Feng Yi looked ashamed, he asked himself if he was too far from Shen Xi in terms of talent and learning, and he couldn't beat the horse, but Shen Xi said it so modestly, but he often held it up in front of people.
After entering Xizhimen, the two of them found a tea shop near Jishuitan and sat down, Feng Yi came up to serve Shen Xi with tea, and said with a serious face: "If Shen Hanlin does not give up, the students are willing to worship under your door and devote themselves to learning with you, no matter whether they go to school in the future or spread knowledge, they dare not violate Shen Hanlin's teachings." ”
Faced with this request, Shen Xi smiled slightly.
If he wanted to accept students, he felt that he should accept some young disciples, but he didn't expect that Feng Yi would worship under his disciples at such an age.
Is it going to take in a group of disciples who are older than him in the future? (To be continued.) )
