Su Kui, the word Bocheng, a native of Shunde, Guangdong, Chenghua 23 years of Jinshi, awarded Hanlin to edit, this person has been a scholar in many places, has repaired the library academy many times, and his rigorous attitude is also praised. When he came, he couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw the students of Tingzhou Mansion so impetuous, and this anger invisibly gave the talents present a dismount.

For the sake of their own fame, the students dare not and cannot make a fool of themselves in front of the new scholars.

When the students bowed and saluted, Su Kui rushed inside, and finally stood behind the desk at the front, and said coldly: "Sit down!" ”

Only then did everyone turn around and sit down in panic, and the people who were arguing for Lanling Xiaoxiao just now all lowered their heads at this time, for fear that Su Kui would know that they were the ones who quarreled just now.

But Su Kui didn't seem to hold on to it, but took out a stack of papers from his arms and laid it flat on the desk, just like a speech.

"Today's talk is a thing." Su Kui came up and made the topic clear, "Things are fine and coarse, and every grass and tree has reason, do you think so?" ”

Even if someone has a different opinion in their hearts, they can only obediently respond at this time.

It's like the principal of the school, who is also a professor, and is also the examiner, the examiner, the invigilator, and the part-time evaluator in front of you, even if he farts, you have to say that it is fragrant, not to mention that Su Kui quoted the theory of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the words of Zhu Xi, the third person after Confucius and Mencius, do you dare to question it?

If you really have any objections, you obviously don't want to make up for your life and support your family, and you don't want to pass the township test!

Shen Xi feels that this kind of Gewu is not materialistic Gewuism, it is more idealistic than Xinxue, saying that "every grass and tree has the truth", you have to say, I saw the indomitable from the grass, and it is too far-fetched to use it as the reason. It is too worthless to regard "Zhili" as worthless.

On the contrary, it is the study of the mind, advocating the return to the self, but there is a kind of Taoist style of quiet and inaction, emphasizing the natural state of mind. It was easier for Shen Xi to accept.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Kui couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "If you have any opinions, just say it." ”

As soon as the students thought about it, the opportunity has come, and it depends on whether they can make up for birth and increase their birth! Someone jumped out right away. He began to give long speeches to show how learned he was.

"Students think that knowledge is in the object, and the object is then the ......"

Others listened to the previous talk, and began to mumble in their hearts, with you, you said what I want to say first, so what will I say next?

In the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", there is not much content to discuss "Gewu", and in an era when sitting and discussing the Tao is equivalent to speaking for the sage, it is necessary to take the words of the sage as the central idea of the discussion. This is like writing an eight-strand essay, which cannot be solved by the words of a sage, and the article is equivalent to being abandoned at the beginning.

Shen Xi sat there very calmly, there were so many people rushing to speak, there was no chance for him to interject. At this time, everyone present was arranging a rhetoric in their hearts for a while, but there was only so much truth, nothing more than inspiration from the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", or from other classics, no one dared to speak in front of a scholar like Su Kui, and no one dared to speak for himself.

When the first person rises up to give his opinion. Su Kui also nodded happily, but when he heard that the next few Xiucai said almost the same reason, there was nothing new at all, and it was completely from the script. His look is not very good-looking. When the fifth person finished speaking, and the sixth person was scrambling to stand up and express his opinion, he was interrupted by Su Kui.

Su Kui said: "The one who is qualified, for the end, for the end; If you don't do it, you can't know it. There's a desk here, so you can do your best. Make sense. ”

In a word, the Xiucai present looked at each other, and their faces became extremely ugly.

In their view, only the sages can do it, they learn the knowledge of the sages, and what the sages say is what they say, as for letting them practice it in person, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

It's like Gewu, if a saint can see the great truth from every grass and tree, they can't do it, otherwise why are saints saints, and they can only be students?

This kind of exam question is a few points more difficult than the examination institute exam, you can't just talk nonsense, if you say, I saw "four feet stable" from this desk, Su Kui can give you a ring ruler when he comes up, I will let you speak on behalf of the sage, which sentence of the sage is to tell you that standing on four feet is more stable than standing on two feet? You have to talk nonsense, there are more truths that can be seen at this table, but it is very difficult for you to talk about this table with the words of the sages.

Shen Xi saw that the sentient beings closed their eyes and pondered, shook their heads, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this knowledge of things is too difficult for ordinary people, which is also the reason why the study of mind can rise. You have to let people understand the truth from all things in heaven and earth like the sages, which is unreliable and contrary to the spirit of learning, while the study of the mind emphasizes the self, as long as you understand the truth of living in the world.

Shen Xi couldn't help but think of the allusion of "Shouren Gezhu", which is a generation of great philosophers, Wang Yangming, who inherited and carried forward the study of the mind and was known as the master of the study of the mind, learned the truth of "learning from things" from Lou Liang, and felt that he had gained a lot, and happily went back to the bamboo, wanting to get the truth from the "grass and tree", but he spent three days and three nights, and did not get an inch, he thought that his intentions were not sincere, so he abandoned all distracting thoughts and continued to study in depth. As a result, on the seventh day, Wang Yangming still couldn't get any reason, but he was tired and sick.

This is a very famous allusion in the history of Chinese philosophy, and it is from this that Wang Shouren doubted Cheng Zhu's theory of science and derived the theoretical basis of "the things in the world are incomparable, and the merits of the things are only done in body and mind".

Everyone rushed to answer before, but now there is no sound. This kind of problem, if you go to Taixue and find a group of Confucians to discuss, you may not be able to come up with any good insights, but now it is a group of talents who are busy with their livelihoods and studies, and it can be said that Su Kui is completely the object of finding the wrong argument.

Su Tong pondered for a long time, and said to Shen Xi in a low voice: "Brother Shen, you have always had unique opinions, and now there is an opportunity, which is a great opportunity for you to save your image." ”

Shen Xi shook his head honestly, now it is clear that he is shooting the first bird, he is already a little dissatisfied with Cheng Zhu Lixue's "Gewu", let him come out to discuss, isn't that a slap in the mouth? At this time, it is better to choose to be silent and silent.

Su Kui was originally patient, but when no one spoke after waiting for half an hour, he was a little annoyed in his heart: "You wait for your daily studies to become like this?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads, with a hint of remorse on their faces. Su Kui was also not polite. directly pointed to a talent in his thirties in the front row: "You can talk about it." ”

Na Xiucai immediately had the urge to crash to death.

Originally, I sat in the front in order to get closer to the new student officer and strive to leave a good impression on the student officer, but this time it was self-defeating. Even a philosopher of Wang Shouren's generation did not get the truth from the bamboo for seven days and seven nights, so he faced a table for less than half an hour, and there was no reason in his head, only a mess of paste.

"This ...... Square table ...... This ......"

Su Kui said angrily: "What this and that." What's the student's name? Write down his name, and I'll find out how he got in! Su Kui was furious, he came to "learn from things" with the students, and these students would only talk to him with clichés.

Some of the other students were secretly smiling, and some were nervous...... If one doesn't work, it will naturally replace the next, and if it happens to hit your head, then you will be unlucky.

Just when everyone was panicking, Su Kui pointed to the twenty-something-year-old students in the second row who were shaking their heads and said, "You come!" ”

"Me? Student...... Hmmm......"

The student stood up. The body is like a sifting chaff, and after a while, he said, "The student is ignorant and can't be reasonable." ”

Su Kui was even more annoyed: "Write it down, I don't believe it, in this land of Tingzhou Capital, there is not even a person who can learn?" ”

Su Kui didn't get a satisfactory answer, so he naturally refused to give up, and was about to continue to order a person, and Hu Weipan, the teacher of the Confucianism Department of Tingzhou Mansion next to him, was a little anxious. If this point continues, could it be that this year's annual examination in Fucheng will be wiped out? He thought to himself, "I have to quickly think of a way to divert Su Tixue's attention." ”

Hu Weipan said: "Su Tixue, the local college exam last year. There is Shen Xi, an eleven-year-old student from Ninghua County, who won the second place in the Intermediate Court exam. ”

Su Kui nodded and said, "The official has also heard about it. ”

Hu Weipan continued: "Last year, the first test of the Tingzhou Prefecture Academy, the first question of the four books, was 'stop at the best', among all the answer sheets, only Shen Xi's work was most appreciated by his predecessor Liu Tixue. Why didn't Sutixue ask him what he meant? ”

In a word, Shen Xi suddenly became the target of public criticism, and many people looked sideways at Shen Xi, they wanted to know how embarrassed Shen Xi should be now.

Hu Weipan, as a supporter of Cheng Zhu Lixue, did not agree with Liu Bing's supplemental recording of Shen Xi, and now when the people in Fucheng were in trouble, he pushed Shen Xi out to block the gun.

Su Kui raised his head and said, "Where is Shen Xi?" ”

Without Shen Xi's answer, Su Kui's gaze had already fallen on Shen Xi, and he only blamed Shen Xi for his young age, which was the easiest to identify among the scholars.

Shen Xi was helpless, so he could only stand up and salute Su Kui: "Shen Xi, a student of Ninghua County, ......"

"Knowing where you come from, since you heard what the official said before, let's take a look at things first." Su Kui interrupted Shen Xi's words with some impatience.

Shen Xi secretly scolded Hu Weipan in his heart.

But there are some things that he provoked himself, and now I am advocating the study of mind, which is not tolerated by you people who are rational people, but in a few years, the study of mind will rise rapidly, and even the people in the court are advocating the study of mind. The pain of the present is to welcome the dawn......

Shen Xi comforted himself, but he also felt a little difficult in his heart, because the truth of "Gewu" was very difficult to say.

Shen Xi saluted again: "The student is bold, I want to ask Su Tixue, I don't know what Su Tixue thinks about this table?" ”

In one sentence, not only did the students present be in an uproar, but even Su Kui was stunned. He took the test for all beings, and now he is being replied with the same question, he is still a teenager, and he is inevitably a little "arrogant".

Hu Weipan said angrily: "Shen Xi, is this your attitude when talking to Tixue? ”

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "Students think that the way of learning lies in being well-informed and knowledgeable, and students have some shallow views in their hearts, but they want to listen to what Su Tixue said, the way of learning things, lies in doing the best, but the students' shallow views are not enough to say the end." That's why I want to listen to Sutixue's teachings first, so that I can express my opinions, and it is also because students want to learn more. ”
