Chapter 44: I Mean to Be Alone
Liu Zongzhou's frown at first fell in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, this character was written a little poorly, and he had to continue to practice in the future, but soon, he found that Liu Zongzhou's eyebrows were stretched, and his eyebrows were raised from time to time, as if he was appreciative.
Liu Zongzhou read this more than 200-word truncated essay twice, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuandao: "You come with me." "Just turn around.
Zhang Yuan followed Liu Zongzhou, entered the second hut from the right, and there was an old servant cleaning up the house.
Liu Zongzhou sat down on a high-backed bamboo chair, there was a stool in front of him, he didn't ask Zhang Yuan to sit, Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't sit, he stood respectfully, waiting for Liu Zongzhou to speak, Liu Zongzhou seemed to be thinking about words, and didn't speak for a long time, just when Zhang Yuan thought that time had frozen, Liu Zongzhou spoke:
"Since you have read through the three legends of the Spring and Autumn Period, then I ask you, what is the difference between the three transmissions and the Spring and Autumn Period? Don't go into a long story, in short. ”
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and replied: "Zuo's bias is like things, and his writing is brilliant; The ram and the beam are biased towards righteousness, and they are cautious and strict. ”
Liu Zongzhou nodded in approval and asked, "How many times have you read the Three Legends of the Spring and Autumn Period?" ”
Zhang Yuandao "I have read the left biography twice, and I have only heard it once in the second biography of Gong and Xu, and the student suffered from eye disease a few months ago and could not read, but could only listen." ”
Liu Zongzhou asked: "Isn't it a lie to say that you have heard and recited?" ”
Zhang Yuan replied: "Rumors are inevitably exaggerated, and students have to calm down and listen to the book to barely remember some of them. ”
Liu Zongzhou sighed: "Just listen to it once, you can deeply understand the taste of the book, such a talent is really rare-" The tone changed, and he said seriously: "Zhang Yuan, then let me ask you, what are you reading and reading for?" ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Reading is reasonable, admiring the sages, although I can't get there, my heart yearns for it." ”
Liu Zongzhou said solemnly: "Say what you really think in your heart, worship me as a teacher, why did you come?" ”
Zhang Yuan knew that this Mr. Liu Qidong was notoriously strict, and he would only be looked down upon by him if he said empty words, so he pointed to his heart and said: "Worship Mr. as a teacher, just to learn the art of making." ”
Liu Zongzhou seemed to hold his breath, and then spit it out, a little disappointed, and said: "I see, it's a pity - of course, learning the art of the imperial examination is to be an official, let me ask you again, what are you doing as an official?" "The eyes are blazing, and they pierce people's hearts.
Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "Governing the country and leveling the world." ”
Liu Zongzhou asked: "Do you have selfish desires?" ”
Zhang Yuan said: "People are not sages, who can have no desires, according to the students' simple opinions, that is, sages are also desires, the master runs around the world, and promotes the royal road of etiquette and music, isn't it desire?" Mencius's metaphor of the fish and the bear's paw is also about desire, which is just a trade-off. ”
"Wrong!"
Liu Zongzhou shouted, and his short beard under his chin moved: "The desire you are talking about is the desire of the Buddhists, if the Buddhists want people to have no desires, it is silent nirvana, no death and no life, is this the human desire that the first saint Daru said!" ”
Liu Zongzhou suddenly said so loudly, Zhang Yuan was startled by him, and suddenly remembered that this Mr. Qidong was an anti-Buddha athlete, and he had been recovering Buddhism all his life, although he also inherited Wang Yangming's learning, but he was very dissatisfied with Wang Xue's miscellaneous Zen, and he also had many objections to Cheng, Zhu Ji's Confucianism and Taoism, and he hoped to return to the pure Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius, Liu Zongzhou thought that Wang Yangming's mind that eliminated Zen thought was pure Confucianism -
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "What the student said is just a superficial opinion, please teach Mr." ”
Liu Zongzhou said in a soothing tone: "Speaking of conscience, it is easy to flow into Zen, and it is difficult to distinguish with you in a hurry, you are rare, I deeply regret it, Ya does not want you to be confused by vulgar desires, I can accept you as a disciple, but you have to promise me that you will not participate in the imperial examination before the age of twenty." ”
Zhang Yuan was stunned, he came to learn the art of learning to prepare for next year's children's examination, but Liu Zongzhou asked him not to participate in the imperial examination before he was twenty years old, what is going on!
Zhang Yuan said cautiously: "The student doesn't understand what Mr. means, and it seems that Mr. has not yet reached the age of twenty when he went to the children's examination." ”
Liu Zongzhou smiled: "You know clearly in this later life, do you want to attack my shield with my spear, I tell you the truth, I also regret that I learned Bagu too early back then, so I went to Deqing to worship under Mr. Jing'an to seek advice from Mr. Jing'an, and you are just the first to get involved in Confucianism, and you-"
Liu Zongzhou stretched out his finger and nodded at Zhang Yuan: "Your talent and qualifications are above me, when I was fifteen years old, I was far from reading the four books and "Spring and Autumn" as well as you, and you can reach this step only by self-study and comprehension, I can't do it, so it's a pity that you learned the art of making art at a young age, according to my original intention, it is still early for you to participate in the imperial examination at the age of twenty, it is best not to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of your life, your family is well-off, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, wouldn't it be good to concentrate on learning." ”
Liu Zongzhou leaned forward and looked at Zhang Yuan eagerly, he had high expectations for Zhang Yuan, with Zhang Yuan's enlightenment and his careful teaching, it was not impossible for Zhang Yuan to become a generation of Confucianism.
Zhang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't know how to say to Liu Zongzhou, saying that the peasants were going to rebel, Liu Zongzhou would definitely say that the disease of sores was not enough to worry about, saying that the Ming Dynasty was going to perish, and it would die in the hands of Nurhachi's son Huang Taiji, Liu Zongzhou would ask who Nurhachi was, and then scolded Zhang Yuanyitong -
Zhang Yuan said modestly: "Mr. is too famous, the talent of the student is not as good as my brother Zhang Zongzi, and even worse than Qi Huzi next door." ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "Zhang Zongzi's mind is too mixed, he is a genius, Qi Huzi is admittedly smart, but he is still not as good as you, from your four books, I can see that you are studious and thoughtful and can penetrate, which is very much in line with me, but as an eight-strand essay is unqualified, so you are not suitable for learning Bagu, you should be determined to learn and speak." ”
Zhang Yuanxin said: "Oops, just target me, I'm really not suitable for learning." He said: "Sir, you don't have to limit me to what year I can participate in the imperial examination, I can follow Mr. to do scholarship while taking the imperial examination, isn't Mr. himself like this, he has the fame of being a scholar, and he still studies without quitting." ”
Liu Zong hit the nail on the head and said: "I have been a Jinshi for more than ten years now, and I have not yet become an official, can you?" ”
Zhang Yuan said honestly: "No." ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "Then you should concentrate on learning, don't think about fame, or take the test for the fame of a student, so as not to be disturbed by the service, how about it?" ”
Zhang Yuanzuo's last effort: "Sir, Zuo Chuan Suoyun immortal three careers, too high morality, second meritorious service, and second speech, students just want to make meritorious service, why is this meritorious service not as good as a speech?" ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "Meritorious service has been established by others, and I see that you are suitable to speak today." ”
Zhang Yuan had no choice, he didn't conspire with each other, and said with a deep salute: "Students are not scholars, say goodbye to Mr." "Take two steps back and turn to leave.
Liu Zongzhou didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so resolute, stood up and said, "You are so young, how can you be so utilitarian!" He wants to keep it, he thinks that Zhang Yuan's talent is rare and he is a seed of study.
Zhang Yuan had nothing to say, he must participate in next year's scientific expedition, turned around and gave Liu Zongzhou a deep bow, exited the thatched hut, walked to the previous study, said hello to Qi Huzi and Huang Molei, found Wuling, and left Dashan Temple to go home.
Qi Biaojia and Huang Ting thought that Zhang Yuan's composition was not good and was deposed by Mr., but when they saw Mr. Qidong later, Mr. Qidong sighed and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Qi and Huang don't understand what Mr. Qidong is sorry about?
When Zhang Yuan walked through the square in front of the temple with Wuling, he didn't see Mu Zhenzhen, and the fallen girl didn't expect Zhang Yuan to leave so quickly, thinking that she was going to learn three o'clock in the afternoon, so she only paid attention to it at the beginning of the afternoon and waited, and she still left a few of the best oranges in her back basket, and the young master of the Zhang family was afraid that Mr. scolded him before, but now he can eat it after school.
However, when it was past noon, Mu Zhenzhen saw that the dozen or so students in the back of the temple were gone, and she didn't see Zhang Yuan's master and servant come out.
Mu Zhenzhen complained that he was negligent and didn't notice that the young master of the Zhang family was out of school, and said in his heart: "Then I'll come back in the afternoon, the young master of the Zhang family will also come here to study in the afternoon." ”
With the joy of looking forward to seeing each other, the fallen girl briskly climbed over the Shuangzhu Mountain behind the temple and returned to Sandai Street.
