Chapter 005: The Unity of Knowledge and Action

"The unity of knowledge and action, stopping at the ...... perfection"

Zhang Jingming chewed Xu Xian's words, his wise eyes suddenly lit up, and the next moment he clapped his hands excitedly and laughed: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Hahaha......"

When all the students saw this, they all showed shock.

You know, in their impression, their teacher has always been wise and calm, Taishan collapsed before and his color remained unchanged, but at this moment he was so out of shape because of the words of a boy who came out of nowhere.

In fact, Zhang Jingming was ecstatic.

It turned out that the budding psychology was contrary to the current mainstream science, and was attacked by other famous Confucians. Among them, the most helpless and distressing thing for him was the hostile Confucianism attacking him for the delusion of his mental learning, which was completely contrary to the Confucian classics of Gewu Zhizhi, and he could not find a grounding point for refutation.

Moreover, he was also a great Confucian in science, and the philosophical theory of learning from things has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, which makes him sometimes subconsciously suspect that his mind is a pseudo-doctrine.

Although the eight words "the unity of knowledge and action, stopping at the highest goodness" were used by Xu Xian to answer how to seek the Tao, he suddenly thought of his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these eight words were extremely in line with his doctrine, and found a foothold for his doctrine.

So, how could he not be overjoyed?

Xu Xian's excitement about Zhang Jingming was expected, so he had a faint smile on his face, very calm.

When the students found that Xu Xian was so calm, they were all impressed in their hearts. You must know that Zhang Jingming is a world-famous Confucian, and a word of praise from Zhang Jingming is enough to boast to relatives and friends for a lifetime.

After Zhang Jingming was excited for a while, he looked at Xu Xian kindly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xu Xian did not rush to answer, but first bowed deeply to Zhang Jingming and bowed, and then said: "The student's surname is Xu, his name is Xian, and he is a local person. The students have admired you and Muyang Academy for a long time, and today they came to study accompanied by their families, but the students' qualifications are dull and they have no chance to enter your college. Mr. Zhao, the vice president of your college, took pity on the students and allowed them to eavesdrop on Mr. Zhao's lesson. I disturbed your lecture, sir, and the student was sincerely frightened and begged for forgiveness. ”

"It turns out that your name is Xu Hanwen." Zhang Jingming said, and had already stepped off the podium and walked in front of Xu Xian.

I saw him continue: "The old man said that although the heaven and the earth are big, there is a thought of goodness and conscience, although ordinary people can be sages. If you are so motivated, as long as you continue to study hard day after day, year after year, he will be able to achieve success one day. ”

"Are you willing to enter the old man's door and study with the old man?" Zhang Jingming said again.

Since hearing Xu Xian's proposal of "the unity of knowledge and action, stopping at the highest good", he felt more and more that these eight words were extremely important to him, and they were related to whether the doctrine he had worked so hard to establish could be carried forward.

It's just that the eight words "unity of knowledge and action, stopping at perfection" were said by Xu Xian in public, and if he used them directly, he would definitely be criticized.

But if Xu Xian became his student, it would be a Confucian history story for the master and apprentice to join forces to create a new doctrine.

Therefore, he must accept Xu Xian as a student, and he must teach carefully to make Xu Xian famous.

"Students are willing. Students meet with their teachers. Xu Xian immediately happily bowed deeply to Zhang Jingming.

When all the students saw that Xu Xian had taken the initiative to accept Zhang Jingming as a disciple, they were all envious, jealous and hateful.

Who can listen to Zhang Jingming's lectures, but they can't be said to be Zhang Jingming's disciples, there are very few students who really become Zhang Jingming's disciples, and they are all dragons and phoenixes, heroes and talents.

……

……

After accepting Xu Xian's apprenticeship, Zhang Jingming couldn't wait to immediately close the door and thank the guests for a few months to combine the eight words "unity of knowledge and action, stop at perfection" with his doctrine, complete the loopholes in the doctrine, and re-elaborate his doctrine, so he directly ended the lecture.

Leaving the classroom, Xu Xian went to find Li Gongfu.

Li Gongfu was invited back to the living room by Zhao Wenyuan to entertain him, and when Xu Xian walked in, Li Gongfu stood up and asked, "You didn't disturb Zhang Gong's lecture, did you?" ”

Although he knew that Xu Xian was honest, he still couldn't help but ask. Zhang Jingming is a heavenly figure to him, and he has to be extremely careful.

Zhao Wenyuan also looked at Xu Xian.

"Excuse me." Xu Xian said honestly.

"Ahh Li Gongfu screamed, his face was like earth, full of fear, and he felt that a catastrophe was coming.

He knew that once Xu Xian annoyed Zhang Jingming, any of Zhang Jingming's students would be able to make him Li Gongfu unable to eat and walk around!

Zhao Wenyuan's face also showed anger and regret, and he was ready to reprimand Xu Xian.

However, Xu Xian had already continued: "However, it was Mr. who took the initiative to ask me. His old man has already accepted me as a disciple. ”

"Ahh What the?!!! ”

Li Gongfu and Zhao Wenyuan were instantly shocked, and their mood fluctuations were like a roller coaster.

"You said that Zhang Gong accepted you as a disciple?" It was Zhao Wenyuan who asked this, and he looked incredulous.

Among them, he bit the word "disciple" very hard.

There is a world of difference between allowing Xu Xian to enter Muyang Academy to study, and Zhang Jingming personally accepting Xu Xian as a disciple.

Become a disciple of Zhang Jingming, at least you can get a reputation for showing talent.

The imperial examination is not completely based on scores, and whether or not to admit students has a lot to do with the reputation of the students. Why are literati scholars so keen on literature and pursuing fame? It is because of the fame that the career of the imperial examination will be much smoother.

With Zhang Jingming's status as a disciple, as long as Xu Xian's knowledge is not bad, the scholars and politicians of Jiangnan Road dare not give a talent a fame?

What's more, Zhang Jingming himself is also a teacher of disciples, and in the ten years since he resigned from the government to govern and teach, there were three Jinshi and eleven people.

Xu Xian nodded calmly, he didn't know the weight of it for the time being.

"Hahaha......" Li Gongfu recovered from the shock and laughed excitedly.

……

……

Before entering the house, Li Gongfu couldn't help but open his throat and shouted: "Lady! Wife! Come out! There is a big happy event! ”

Li Xu heard the shouting, put down the female red, quickly walked out of the room, saw Li Gongfu and Xu Xian with happy faces, and immediately guessed that Xu Xian had successfully entered Muyang Academy.

"Hanwen, Muyang Academy is willing to accept you?" She rushed to Xu Xian, grabbed Xu Xian's hand excitedly and asked happily.

Li Gongfu laughed and said, "What's more! Zhang Gong has already personally accepted Hanwen as a disciple! Hahaha......"

"Great, great!" Li Xu is even more surprised, although she is a woman, she also knows Zhang Jingming's name.

Li Gongfu laughed and said: "Lady, you don't know, it is only a matter of time before we become Zhang Gong's disciples, and we Hanwen will become Xiucai Gong!" Brother-in-law will rely on you in the future! ”

When Li Xu heard this, he immediately cried with joy, and opened his arms to hug Xu Xian tightly.

Sister is as big as a mother, not to mention that Xu Xian was raised by her, how could she be herself when she heard that Xu Xian was going to make a difference?

Feeling Li Xu's deep affection, Xu Xian said movingly: "Sister, brother-in-law, I will study hard, gain fame, and let you live a good life." ”
