Chapter 72—Recreating the Sky (I)
Shi Bufan finally solved the matter of Li Shimin's fishing law enforcement, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that once the fishing law enforcement spreads, the damage to the people may be more terrible than that of some corrupt officials. Because the damage of corrupt officials to the people is still hidden, and it will not be so direct. However, this fishing law enforcement obviously undermines the judicial rules, undermines the authority of the law, and even destroys the ethics and morality of society. Corrupt officials may be corrupt, but the damage to social ethics and morality is not so serious. Corruption may be very harmful to the people, but once the ethics and morality of the entire society are destroyed, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. Although Li Shimin was not able to issue an edict of guilt, Li Shimin obviously knew the harmfulness of fishing law enforcement, and finally issued his own introspective edict, which was regarded as telling his courtiers not to fish for law enforcement.
The authority of the edict is not as good as the edict, which can be regarded as maintaining Li Shimin's face, and stereotyping this behavior of fishing law enforcement as "using the wrong method" to do things, so the nature is also much lower, although there is also a little suspicion of slapping himself in the face, but it is not too embarrassing.
"Shi Xiaoshulang, you will go to the old man's house later!" Kong Yingda left with such a sentence and left.
Shi Bufan couldn't, so he had to follow him to Kong Yingda's house, because Kong Yingda is currently a doctor of Guozijian, although he doesn't have much real power, but he is also a senior teacher of Guozijian, but he is a dignified five-grade minister, and he really can't disobey a nine-grade minister.
However, when Bufan came to Kong Yingda's house, he saw that it was not only Kong Yingda, but also a few young people.
"Shi Xiao Shulang, these are a few of my disciples, since I told them some things about the principles of mind, they are quite puzzled, so please come over and explain it to them!" Kong Yingda said.
Shi Bufan didn't expect that Kong Yingda would have students, and he wanted to let himself explain the so-called "heart study" to them, which made Shi Bufan feel even bigger. Although he knows some of the so-called Wang Yangming's psychology, Shi Bufan himself also knows that his so-called "psychology" is also specious, not very comprehensive. He himself has not been able to fully understand the study of mind, and now he has to give lectures to others, which makes him feel extremely headache. But since Kong Yingda asked for this, it was difficult for Shi Bufan to refuse.
"I've seen a few!" Shi Bufan said.
Since those students are Kong Yingda's students, they are generally over 30 years old. And the youngest one is about twenty-five years old, but now he has to listen to a young man who is only eighteen or nineteen years old to give a lecture to him, which makes them very depressed. And even their master has to call him "Little Friend", which makes them even more depressed. Therefore, they naturally look at Shi Bu is not happy, so they want to make things difficult Shi Bu Fan.
"May I ask Shi Xiaoshulang, can you do the crown salute? How many years have you learned about the sages? A man about forty years old asked, obviously the "senior brother" in this group of people, and Kong Yingda's age difference is only a dozen years, if it is more than a thousand years later, it can be regarded as the same generation, but in ancient times, it was two generations.
When Shi Bufan heard this, it was obvious that this guy was deliberately trying to make things difficult for himself because of his age and the lack of years he had learned. However, he just didn't know that Shi Bufan, as a genius back then, naturally encountered the obstacles of this kind of guy who relied on the old and sold the old to rank his seniority, so he was not afraid of this kind of guy who relied on the old and sold the old.
"I'm only twenty years old this year, but I haven't done the crown yet." Shi Bufan replied, in fact, he was only nineteen years old, but the ancients paid attention to virtual years, so he said that he was twenty years old.
However, Shi Bufan then replied: "If you want to talk about what you have learned, although you have been reading and reading since you were a child, you have only been studying for a year. ”
"One year, then how can you be arrogant and claim to be on a par with your teacher?"
In ancient times, a teacher was a "teacher" who had a certain status, and ordinary people could not be called a teacher, but this teacher was only a synonym for a profession in later generations.
Shi Bufan replied: "The saints have also said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, so I should not be ashamed to ask." Moreover, how can the achievements of the saints learned be judged solely by their years? There is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher. If you have always judged by the age teeth, then why are the people of the world famous no more than the skill of the hands? In that case, what kind of ideas have you put forward to create your own school? If you have ambitions, you are not high, and you are a hundred years old without ambitions. ”
"This ......, but the founding of the sect will not be able to turn you as a person who has not yet been crowned!"
Hearing this, Kong Yingda also blushed and said, "Ning Yu, you don't need to say it, you don't have ambitions to be a hundred years old, and you are a hundred years old if you have no ambitions!" If you don't have ambition, how can you achieve great things? You were originally the most talented person in the Taiyuan royal family, but unfortunately you took the wrong path. ”
Shi Bufan listened to Kong Yingda's words and knew that this person around forty years old was Kong Yingda's student and a member of the Taiyuan royal family. However, in these days, there are not many poor people who can read. And this kind of family enters the court as a political lord, a scholar valve in the people, and a chaebol in front of the people, which can be said to be a trinity. Therefore, it is normal for them to be able to study, and they have a good relationship with the Kong family, so they can naturally be qualified to send their children to study.
"But teacher, I ......," that Wang Ningyu still wanted to say.
"Well, today we're only going to talk about academics, regardless of age. If you can refute this little friend of the time, that's your ability! Kong Yingda said.
When Wang Ningyu heard this, he was even more ill-intentioned towards Shi Bufan, and then took the initiative to sit down and said: "I heard what Shi Shulang said to the teacher, there is no heaven and earth in the world, and heaven and earth are illusioned by people's hearts, and from this, it can be concluded that the principles of heaven are people's hearts. And the human heart is the principle of heaven, and it is believed that heaven and earth are illusioned by the human heart, so why do there are various visions in heaven and earth? It was raining, lightning and thunder. The ground is landslide and the ground is cracking, but this is controlled by the human heart? Therefore, I think that your so-called heaven and earth are the illusion of the human mind, which is simply nonsense. ”
This Wang Ningyu wants to grasp the so-called vision of heaven and earth to attack Shi Bufan's statement that "heart is reason", Shi Bufan's cognition of heaven and earth, he believes that heaven and earth are actually a kind of "matter". Heaven and earth are actually a substance, and they are no different from anything used in daily life. However, after all, Shi Bufan has received a lot of scientific knowledge from later generations, although he did not specialize in science, but his thinking is biased towards science. He knew that the earth was made up of soil, and that soil was made up of molecules, atoms, and so on.
The so-called heaven is actually a universe, and the universe is also composed of various molecules and atoms, of course, there may be some dark matter and dark energy, but these things still belong to the category of "matter" in the final analysis. Therefore, the so-called "heaven and earth" is nothing more than the human heart giving these "substances" a kind of personality, and through this so-called "personality" they rule over all peoples. In the final analysis, this kind of personality is still endowed by the human heart, and the real so-called heaven and earth are nothing more than some substances, which are actually not fundamentally different from all things in daily life.
"A vision of heaven and earth? It seems that you do not really understand my relationship between heaven and earth and the human heart. At that time, Master Kong and I used to say that it was the wind that moved the trees, but in the end, I thought it was the heart. The vision of heaven and earth you are talking about, you think it is a vision of heaven and earth, but isn't it exciting? The vision of heaven and earth is actually very normal in nature, but these so-called visions are the ones you gave him 'visions' and they become visions. If you don't see him as a vision, then there is no difference between him and the wind blowing on the tree and causing the tree to shake. The same is true of landslides and cracks, and if it weren't for the so-called 'vision' that you gave him in your heart, then it doesn't make any difference in essence. This is all what you think in your heart, not a vision of heaven and earth. The vision of heaven and earth is given by the human heart, not the essence of heaven and earth. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan changed his words, and then said: "If you don't regard lightning and thunder and landslides as a kind of 'vision', then he is actually similar to ordinary things, so this so-called vision is nothing more than the human heart. Just put aside all your thoughts, and you will find that there is nothing peculiar about this in nature. ”
After Shi Bufan's words were finished, he immediately caused many people to ponder. And the so-called "vision of heaven and earth" as mentioned by the ancients seems to be really the same as Shi Bufan's words, which is a "vision" given by the human heart. They didn't really understand this before, they still said that the heavens and the earth would issue warnings, and then the lightning and thunder and the heavens and the earth would crack were all warnings of the heavens and the earth. But now it has been exposed by Shi Bufan's "red fruit", and this so-called vision of heaven and earth is just given by the human heart, and it is the "godhead" given by the human heart, not that they are essentially the heaven and the earth in warning.
If you really put aside all the thoughts in your heart, then this so-called lightning and thunder and landslides and earth cracks are actually no different in essence from the wind blowing trees. It is all the movement and flow between substances and the interaction of each other, and it cannot have anything to do with the so-called vision of heaven and earth.
"How can this be reasonable, the sense of heaven and man, that is what the sage Dong Zhongshu said, and the vision of heaven and earth is a warning from heaven to the king. And Dong Zhongshu used heaven and man to induce ......, "That Wang Ningyu is still using the ancients, but he is not afraid of this."
"Don't quote scriptures everywhere for me, I remember it well, the celestial and human induction that Dong Zhongshu said back then used the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of Qin as an example, thinking that the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang was a warning from heaven. Dong Zhongshu thought that there was a fire in the Changling Gaoyuan Hall and the Liaodong Gaomiao, and he took this opportunity to promote the induction of heaven and man, but he was obtained by the master father Yan, and was finally dismissed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After that, he did not put forward any celestial induction about the so-called vision of heaven and earth, so the only time that Dong Zhongshu said about the celestial and human induction was the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. He believed that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion was a punishment from heaven and a warning to the king. As for your so-called changes in matter between heaven and earth, Dong Zhongshu is not officially listed as a celestial and human induction, and Dong Zhongshu has not officially publicized it in his life. And the real celestial induction is the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. ”
"But Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are human beings, although they are traitors, it is undeniable that they are also human beings. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion, everything is presided over by people, has the heavens sent any warnings at this time? Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion was composed of people, in fact, this vision of heaven and earth is still human in the end. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were afraid of the harsh punishment of the Qin Dynasty, so they were forced to rebel, which set off a great rebellion at the end of the Qin Dynasty. However, the so-called celestial and human induction is finally completed by humans. ”
"Can we say that the induction of heaven and man advocated by Dong Zhongshu is actually the induction of people's hearts. When the king oppresses the people so much that they cannot bear it in their hearts, they will be forced to rebel? Isn't it the same with all the dynasties? Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and in the end, the people of the world were deeply affected by his harsh government, and then rebelled. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled, it was also the harsh government of the imperial court, and the eunuchs and relatives took turns to dictate power, and the people were instigated to rebel after they were bored. There are many examples of this, and each time it is the court that has exceeded the level of tolerance in the hearts of the people, which will cause the people to rebel. And the induction of heaven and man mentioned by Dong Zhongshu, can it be determined that the human heart is the sky, and the degree that the human heart bears is the degree that the sky can bear. Therefore, the heart of heaven and the heart of the human heart are actually one, not separate, is this so? ”
Shi Bufan explained the so-called Dong Zhongshu's celestial induction, in fact, Dong Zhongshu's celestial induction was really publicly publicized, which was the so-called Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, which was regarded as a warning to the ruler. As for the later Dong Zhongshu wanted to borrow the so-called Han Dynasty mausoleum fire to claim that heaven and man were inducted, but the master father Yan took the chapter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in advance, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost beheaded Dong Zhongshu. It can be seen that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually did not believe in the so-called theory of celestial and human induction. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recognized that once Dong Zhongshu's ruler oppressed the people too much, he finally forced the people to rebel.
In this way, there is a very interesting phenomenon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admitted that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was "heaven and man induction", but his ancestral mausoleum was on fire, but it was not heaven and man induction, and he almost killed Dong Zhongshu. It can be seen that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not really believe in this "heaven", but he was actually a real politician, and he realized that the persecution of the people should not be too much, otherwise the people would be forced to rebel. And the theory of "heaven and man induction" he used Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only admitted that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was regarded as heaven and man induction, and the other so-called heaven and earth visions did not really admit any fire, and Dong Zhongshu was almost killed because of this.
Since then, Dong Zhongshu has been a man with his tail between his legs, and he doesn't dare to say anything about heaven and man induction.
And that Wang Ningyu turned blue, because Shi Bufan's words were also true, and it was recorded in history. However, in order to deify Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism deliberately or unintentionally ignored the fact that Dong Zhongshu almost lost his head. Although history is still being recorded, this is only out of responsibility for history. It's one thing to record history, but it's another thing to publicize it.
In order to improve their so-called authority, later Confucians put forward the theory that Dong Zhongshu had never really dared to put forward in his life from the garbage heap of history again, as if he was in trouble. In fact, Dong Zhongshu's theory is just a failed theory, and Dong Zhongshu just hopes to use this theory to seek wealth for himself. As a result, it was cleaned up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe in the so-called "heaven". However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also selectively accepted Dong Zhongshu's theory, believing that the ruler could not persecute the people too much, otherwise the people would rebel.
However, now that this fallacy has been punctured by Shi Bufan, Wang Ningyu is very bad.
"Perhaps, I'm going to create another 'sky'!" Shi Bufan thought.
