Chapter 509

The shadows of the trees are mottled, the sound of water is murmuring, and the sound of a bell from a short distance makes this scenery even more quiet.

Yang Shangjing stood in the shade of the tree, the dappled sunlight left a little golden trace on his bullfighting suit, and Shang Zhen stood one step behind Yang Shangjing, his expression calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"The benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water." Yang Shangjing stared at the stream in front of him and said pointedly.

Shang Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked up at Yang Shangjing, but what he could see was only a bullfighting uniform and an official hat, and he couldn't see Yang Shangjing's face at all, so he groaned for a while, and then replied in a deep voice: "Sage Yun, benevolent people love people, Shao Zhan is fighting bandits in Huangyan County, stabilizing prices, suppressing local tyrants in this county, establishing a nursing home, and building water conservancy. ”

Yang Shangjing shook his head and sighed: "People are immortals in the mountains, and the reason why this official is willing to come to this mountain is not because he wants to become an immortal." ”

Squatting down and picking up a stone, Yang Shangjing casually threw it into the stream, splashing a splash: "There is water in the mountain, this official took you to this water's edge, don't you understand?" ”

Shang Chen's brows were clustered, and the whole person couldn't help but take half a step back, looking at Yang Shangjing with a little hesitation, obviously, he heard a lot of things from Yang Shangjing's words.

"The official has nothing to do, but what he likes to go to is this waterside, and fishing on the bank of the Yongning River is a great pleasure for the official." Yang Shangjing shook his head with a smile and pointed to the stream in front of him, "Even in this mountain, this official did not lead you to the Taiqing Temple to incense, but brought you here." ”

After a pause, Yang Shangjing turned his head and looked at Shang Chen: "This official is not a benevolent person, whether it is killing a Japanese robber, or beheading bandits, this official has never been soft-hearted, even if he quibbles that those who should be punished are not people, some of the actions of this official are really not benevolent." ”

Shang Shi's brows slowly frowned, he always felt that Yang Shangjing had something to say, and it was absolutely impossible that he was just saying that he was "unkind".

However, in the end, it is a person who is connected to the three elements in the normal historical line, this brain is really easy to use, and he can't analyze it, so he didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Yang Shangjing to speak.

Yang Shangjing changed his words and said with a smile: "But this official doesn't like mountains and prefers the water's edge, can it prove that this official is a wise man?" Apparently...... No. ”

Turning his head, Yang Shangjing slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky through the mottled shadows of the trees: "This world is not an either/or time, it is a Taiji diagram with a clear distinction between yin and yang, nor is it the absolute opposition of yin and yang, there is yang in yin, and yin in yang, this is the norm." ”

"Above the court, politics is overturned, this wisdom, the official is really not enough, so he escaped from Beijing and lived in Taizhou Mansion, where Emperor Gao was far away; When it comes to literary talent, the current level of this official is just afraid that he doesn't have the talent you can talk about; If it is about arithmetic and craftsmen, the official is naturally inferior to those shopkeepers and craftsmen. ”

"This official likes to run to the water's edge, in the final analysis, it's not that he is wise, it's just that he doesn't have any benevolence."

Yang Shangjing's words are true, and there are even some deviant meanings in it, you know, in this year, the word "benevolence" has been raised to the height of ideology, and those who directly declare themselves to be unkind like Yang Shangjing are estimated to be sprayed with "ignorant saint education".

So Shang Zhen raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say: "Shao Zhan is doing the things of a benevolent, why do you say that he is not a benevolent person?" ”

"Benevolence, in the heart, not in action." Yang Shangjing knocked on his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Everything this official does is to benefit the country and the people, but his heart is not in a 'benevolence', how can he dare to be called benevolence?" ”

Shang Shi was silent for a while, but he didn't know what to say for a while, he knew that he could only choose to acquiesce, because Yang Shangjing's current set of strange theories completely deviated from his understanding of the existing moral system in this world, but once he refuted it, he would fall into the trap that Yang Shangjing had already set.

"Filial piety is the first, no matter the traces of the heart, there is no filial piety in the world; All evil and fornication are the first, and the deeds are not in the heart, and there are few perfect people in the world. ”

Although this set of couplets was only made out in the Qing Dynasty, in terms of theoretical system, under the conditions of the great development of Cheng Zhu's science in the Ming Dynasty and the increasing perfection under the impetus of the imperial court's scientific research, it can already be said to be the default axiom of the current scholars.

"Do you know that this official is going to tell you this today?" Yang Shangjing lowered his head, but his eyes were still squinted, he looked at Shang Zhen and asked with a smile.

Shang Shi was silent for a moment and shook his head: "The student is stupid, please ask Shao Zhan to mention something." ”

Yang Shangjing smiled and waved his hand, and took out his document from his sleeve: "Zhang Cong Zhang Minzhi is a former Hanlin revisionist, and he has cultivated a good ability to repair books and history, so your letter, the official has cut it in the end, although it is a little biased, it is also a rare good article, which is very in line with the official's mind." ”

"Now in the imperial court, those who can understand your truth, below the fifth grade, can be said to be rare, otherwise this official will definitely not see you." Yang Shangjing smiled and waved his hand, "If you can calm down and see what other scholars don't pay attention to in Huangyan County, which is under the jurisdiction of this official, you are a great talent, a great talent, and this official will always have to meet the previous one." ”

Patting Shang Chen's shoulder, Yang Shangjing sighed: "Since you have seen something about it, this official will give you one more sentence, you, the name of Luosun Mountain, are not lost in the article, but in the heart, your splendid article, if it is placed in the orthodox seven years and just released, I am afraid that I will not be able to run a champion, but this orthodox ten years is different from the past." ”

Seeing a thoughtful expression on Shang Chen's face, Yang Shangjing turned around and walked towards the Taiqing Temple in the shade of the branches behind him: "The prime minister must be sent in the state and county, if you have the heart, go around my Huangyan County more, see more, and then go to Linxian County for a walk, have some understanding, and then go back to Beijing to study, but it is not too late." "Now in the imperial court, those who can understand your truth, below the fifth grade, can be said to be rare, otherwise the official will definitely not see you." Yang Shangjing smiled and waved his hand, "If you can calm down and see what other scholars don't pay attention to in Huangyan County, which is under the jurisdiction of this official, you are a great talent, a great talent, and this official will always have to meet the previous one." ”

Patting Shang Chen's shoulder, Yang Shangjing sighed: "Since you have seen something about it, this official will give you one more sentence, you, the name of Luosun Mountain, are not lost in the article, but in the heart, your splendid article, if it is placed in the orthodox seven years and just released, I am afraid that I will not be able to run a champion, but this orthodox ten years is different from the past." ”
