"Okay, that's it for today's lesson, you guys should review and think about it for yourselves!" Shi Bufan finished a day's lessons.

When Shi Bufan let those royal students study on their own, and at this time, an old man in his fifties walked in, and then he walked in and took the initiative to come to Shi Bufan.

"May I ask you are the school scholar?" The old man asked.

Shi Bufan saw that although this old man was wearing clothes that were not too luxurious, his temperament was definitely not an ordinary person. Look at a person's temperament more than his clothes. Therefore, Shi Bufan knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"May I ask who the gentleman is?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Old man Kong Yingda, a scholar from the Qin Palace!"

Shi Bufan gasped, this Kong Yingda came to him, which was simply surprising to him. Kong Yingda should currently be one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, although he does not have any rank in the Tang Dynasty, but no one dares to despise him. There are others who are descendants of Confucius and are a Confucian master. Since ancient times, when there has been no distinction between academia and politics, many people can become officials because they are famous for their studies, and officials can also be promoted through the study of their studies as political achievements, and this is mutually influential. Therefore, although Kong Yingda does not have any grade, among the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace, he can be like the living treatment of a fifth-grade official. Even if Li Shimin launches the Xuanwumen Revolution in the future, he can become a high-ranking official.

"Dare to ask sir, what are you looking for juniors to do?" Shi Bufan asked.

Kong Yingda said: "I heard your words yesterday, which made me quite emotional. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. And this is said to the hearts of our saints and disciples, isn't this what we study for? After listening to your words, I really didn't expect that you would have such insight? ”

Shi Bufan Waterfall Khan, he actually said all the famous sayings of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now he actually blew up Kong Yingda, a Confucian master. But at this time, he had already spoken, and he couldn't take it back. Shi Bufan felt a lot of trouble in his heart, this was really a headache, and he didn't know how to deal with it. However, it is impossible for him to drive Kong Yingda away, if he dares to drive Kong Yingda away, then I am afraid that he will be unlucky in less than a day, Kong Yingda's reputation is not blown!

"Shi Xiao Shulang, what do you think of my sage knowledge?" Kong Yingda asked.

Shi Bufan replied: "Master Kong, you are a well-known Confucian master in the world, I will discuss with you, this ......"

"It's okay, my ancestors have also said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and I have to ask without shame, then it doesn't hurt either." Kong Yingda replied.

"......" Shi Bufan really felt that he was being taken into a ditch, but he could only start to ponder his stomach and scrape his stomach.

Shi Bufan began to search for historical knowledge and philosophical knowledge in his stomach, and then finally thought of a flickering solution.

"Master Kong, don't hide it, I was also a loser just before, a person who lost all the wealth of my family in a bet. But then I woke up and I finally realized that this was not what I wanted. Fame and fortune are all dust, and when I think about the saints and ancestors, I quietly think about what I need. When I came to my senses, I realized that I didn't really want fame and fortune, nor did I have any wealth. Maybe I can get a lot of money, but so what? Is it just immersed in this materialistic flow in public? Maybe you have wealth, but you have power and beauty around you, but what about your heart? The loneliness in the heart is not something that wealth, power, and beauty can fill. ”

"So I started to aspire, I started thinking about what I really needed, what I wanted. Power, money, beauty? None of this seemed to be the case, but I finally realized that all I wanted was food and clothing, so that I could truly survive and then be able to do something for the people of the world. To establish the right idea for the true people is to establish a heart for heaven and earth. In my eyes, heaven and earth are nothing more than an illusory thing created in the hearts of all peoples, and to set up a heart for heaven and earth is nothing more than to help all people create correct thoughts. And I hope to be able to make the people's lives live well, so that the people have no worries about food and clothing, so I have the idea of making a name for the people. And I think about how many splendid civilizations eventually disappeared into history during the pre-Qin period in ancient times, so I think about how to continue the learning for the saints of that year. Of course, in my heart, although the Confucian sage has a high status, I also hope that the knowledge outside of Confucianism can be continued, please understand this. Because I believe that knowledge must be blended, I not only learn from our Oriental studies, I also learn from Western people, because its mountain stones can attack jade! ”

"I hope to pass on the knowledge of all the saints. And if you do set your heart for heaven and earth, make a name for the people, and continue to learn for the saints, then it will naturally be peaceful for all eternity. In my heart, since ancient times, the true saint is nothing more than to achieve virtue, meritorious service, and speech, and if he can achieve virtue and meritorious speech, then he can really become a generation of saints. However, I, the sage of Confucius, can do this meritorious service, and no one else can do it. ”

Kong Yingda also began to think about Shi Bufan's words, Shi Bufan's argument made Kong Yingda feel a little messy, and Kong Yingda also knew how to understand it for a while. However, Kong Yingda also feels that Shi Bufan's words are full of "knowledge" and "famous sayings"! And if Kong Yingda knew that Shi Bufan had completely copied some famous quotes from various celebrities in later generations, pieced together an argument, and then gave Kong Yingda together to fool him, in fact, even Shi Bufan couldn't fully understand what was in it.

However, Kong Yingda, an old man, is too knowledgeable, and if he is too knowledgeable, he is prone to problems. Because the more he knows, the more he will be ignorant, which many academic experts have experienced. Kong Yingda found that after listening to so many extraordinary "famous sayings", she felt as if every sentence was reasonable, as if every sentence had a lot of philosophical connotations. Kong Ying thought about it everywhere, but he couldn't think of anything at all, because he didn't know that this was completely spliced together by Shi Bufan according to those famous sayings after the Tang Dynasty. So it seems that there are a lot of famous sayings and aphorisms in these words, but in fact they are useless at all, they are all spliced together casually to fool people.

Each of these famous sayings and aphorisms seems to be classics, so thought-provoking, but in fact they are of no use. In later generations, I heard that many "brick families" specially packaged these famous sayings and aphorisms, and then wrote a lot of chicken soup texts, which were completely fooling people. A large number of chicken soup texts have been spread in various media, and this kind of chicken soup text is simply a complaint for Shi Bufan. Many of these chicken soup texts are stealing concepts, and they are actually useless at all, and they are completely putting the cart before the horse.

"May I ask Shi Xiaoshulang, what do you think should be done first?" Kong Yingda asked.

Kong Yingda's words are actually referring to a very traditional Confucian thought, the concept of self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world. However, many people are going to the Qi family to rule the country and level the world, as for self-cultivation...... Hey.

"I think that the essence of man is in the heart, and everything in heaven and earth is nothing more than what the human heart thinks and thinks. As long as you can remember your own heart, you will not be deceived by those illusory external objects. The sage said that if you want to cultivate yourself, you must first correct your heart. If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. And I thought that the teachings of the saints should help my generation to aspire. First of all, you must understand the world, understand what you want in life, and set great ambitions. After setting a big ambition, you can understand what you want in your heart, and then you can naturally take what your heart needs, and you can take your heart as a benchmark. Then we work together as a family, govern the country, and level the world, which is nothing more than the pursuit of realizing the great ambition in our hearts. When you are in the family, you might as well reflect on your body, think about what you thought and wanted back then, and then eliminate some interference from beauty. Knowing what you want and wanting, you can naturally find the spouse you need, rather than coveting beauty or her identity. ”

After the Qi family, he began to govern the country. Governing the country is nothing more than realizing what you thought and wanted back then, and then working hard for what you thought and wanted. And your philosophy of governance is nothing more than the embodiment of what you think and want, so in the end it is your heart. Of course, in the governance of the country, fame and fortune, when you hold the power, you have to reflect on your body, when you think and want what you want, how did you set up your ambitions back then, and how did you set up your ambitions back then? As long as you always uphold the original intention and do not forget what you thought and wanted back then, you can naturally resist the temptation of power, the threat of others, and the illusion brought about by all kinds of fame and fortune. ”

"Therefore, my family ruling the country and leveling the world along the way is nothing more than a grinding process of torturing my conscience and thinking about what I think. Finally understand what you think, understand the avenue of heaven and earth, and finally reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man? ”

Kong Yingda then asked, "How do you learn the knowledge of a sage?" ”

Shi Bufan scolded in his heart: "Why are there so many questions? Do you have to hollow me out? ”

"I think that to learn and understand the knowledge of the saints, we should not just read in the study, but go out and truly practice the learning of the saints. If you have been studying in the study, you are nothing more than learning without thinking. The Analects also mentioned that if you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. If you have been studying the knowledge of the saints, but you are not able to really put it into practice, you will definitely not be able to really get what you think in the end. I believe that the unity of knowledge and action means that learning and practice should be one. You can't know it, and you can't do it without knowing it. Only by the unity of knowledge and action can we truly experience the avenue of heaven and earth. And the Avenue of Heaven and Earth is nothing more than what you think in your heart, as long as you can understand your own heart, it is naturally not far from the Avenue of Heaven and Earth. Shi Bufan continued to flicker.

Kong Yingda continued to ask: "Shixiao Shulang, if you follow what you said, wouldn't it be true that many ordinary people, ordinary people, peddlers, and pawns can also become saints?" ”

"Master Kong, didn't Sage Kong also say that there is no class in teaching? And Yasheng also once said that everyone can become Yao Shun? But why did you come to Master Kong, but you look down on the peddlers and pawns? The so-called sex is similar, Xi is far away, and the peddlers and pawns are nothing more than their livelihood channels, but why did they come to Master Kong, and it became the reason why they couldn't become saints? Shi Bufan asked.

"This ......" Kong Yingda suddenly had nothing to say, because the words of the ancestors were true, and he himself knew it.

However, Shi Bufan didn't intend to say this, he continued to criticize: "Could it be that Master Kong has enjoyed too many offerings, but he doesn't know that the people's food and clothing are not easy to come by? How can you survive without food and clothing? Since you were a child, you had the opportunity to study, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't really worry about making a living. And now you look down on them here, you might as well think about it, if you are not after the Confucian sages, but they are after the Confucian sages, then you may have the opportunity to become the current Confucian masters? ”

"It was they who supported you with their own blood and sweat, so that you could study and study without worry, and finally you had the identity of a Confucian master. But now you have forgotten your original intention, and you have forgotten that a saint should seek benefits for the people, establish a heart for the world, and establish a name for the people. And the saints also want to tell us to be polite, and what is a ceremony? The most basic etiquette is morality, and ingratitude is also absolutely not allowed by saints, right? Master Kong, you can become a master of Confucianism after enjoying the worship of the people, but you don't look down on the peddlers and pawns, thinking that they are not qualified to accept the teachings of the saints and cannot comprehend the great way of heaven and earth? How ungrateful are you? ”

When Kong Yingda heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then trembled. Kong Yingda felt that the "Dao Heart" he had cultivated for many years suddenly appeared in a huge loophole at this moment. The core of the Confucian classics he has learned over the years is nothing more than "etiquette". And what is etiquette, he is actually a kind of ethics and morality in the feudal period, and the system and various social morals based on this ethics and morality. As for all these ethics and morality, in fact, it is nothing more than the moral foundation of being a human being, and it is the foundation of all social systems, court systems, and people's thoughts.

But now Shi Bufan criticizes Kong Yingda for being ungrateful, which explains Kong Yingda's morality of enjoying the support of all the people, and then being ungrateful in the end. Being ungrateful, this is definitely a great crime, not to mention ancient times, almost any dynasty would not allow such a person to exist. Now that Kong Yingda has been labeled as ungrateful, Kong Yingda also feels that the "Dao Heart" has almost failed. His thoughts, thoughts and studies are all based on morality, and most of his beliefs are based on this, but the foundation of his beliefs suddenly collapsed, which made Kong Yingda feel almost collapsed.
