The teacher's class is the first batch of students from Chaoyang Academy, and after becoming a teacher, it does not mean that they will stop learning here, but that the students of Zhufu will give them lessons from the past, that is, physics. This course was taken during the holidays, and the students who came in later didn't know that there was such a class. Yang Shen and Zhang Zhi and Tang Bohu have all listened to it a few times after entering Chaoyang Courtyard, except that Tang Bohu is not interested, Yang Shen and Zhang Zhi are very fascinated. This course is also very interesting, using physics knowledge to break people's common sense, and the class is often conducted in the form of experiments, such as two iron balls falling to the ground, such as kraft paper water roasted on the fire, magnifying glass focusing on heat production, and so on.

"The next scientific examination will basically be three years later, and it doesn't hurt if you use Brother Xiu to stay here for three years, as long as you win the Toad Palace next time." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Yang Shen frowned and didn't say anything. But his silence let Zhu Houwei know the entanglement in his heart, so he asked, "What did Master Yang say?" ”

Yang Shen pondered for a few seconds, shook his head slightly, sighed, and said slowly, "Father originally agreed to let me stay in Chaoyang Courtyard for the next scientific expedition, but after I said my thoughts, my father was very angry, but seeing that I have made up my mind, now it can be regarded as acquiescence." ”

Zhang Zhi asked on the side, "What did Brother Xian say?" ”

Yang Shen turned his head to look and found that the four of them were all looking at him, then laughed at himself, and said, "Zhu Xi tasted the commentary and said, 'The interpretation of "Shuowen" and the exhortation of "Erya" are interpreted at the top and rhetoric at the bottom, isn't it just and simple. 'By the time of the Song Dynasty, the monks were unscrupulous, but they were used as quotations; Confucianism also learned from monks to make quotations. It is easy to want, but it is difficult to know; I want to understand the scriptures, but I am suitable for obscurity! Even because of the ugliness, he put somersaults into the poems, closed his eyes and closed his eyebrows into the text, saying: 'What I said about Cheng Zhuzhi, the talk of reason, is just a word, not a job. 'Oh, left!'. What is said here is "to fight somersaults into the poems, and to close the eyes and close the eyebrows into the words" is what Chen Xianzhang (Baisha Xinxue) did. The meaning of Yang Shen's words is that "learning from Zen masters" leads to the difficulty of knowing the "principles" of Confucianism, and the holy way is obscure, which is a big problem for Cheng Zhu's science.

After listening to Yang Shen's words, everyone was shocked, because during the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zhu Lixue was basically the representative thought of Confucianism, and if regular scholars wanted to participate in scientific examinations, most of the things they learned were developed on this, which can be said to be a universal answer in the world. However, Yang Shen did point out the error of the "truth" just now, which could not help but shock people.

But after the shock, everyone's expressions were different, Zhang Zhi was almost angry, but it was not easy to phrase for a while, Tang Bohu was in thought, Zhu Houzhao showed a look of "I appreciate you", and Zhu Houwei was "Come on, continue, I am optimistic about you." ”

The expressions of the two brothers made Yang Shen laugh and feel a trace of warmth at the same time, he thought that his words should make the two of them disappointed and even angry, every time he thought of such an unexpected.

Tang Bohu thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and asked, "What else?" Yang Shen looked at Tang Bohu, and then at Zhang Zhi, who had calmed down, smiled, and then said, "Zhu Xi's study 'lost specialization', 'lost specialization, a will (self) view, sweep away the former sages', use his own scientific ideas to interpret the Confucian classics, deny the Han and Tang Confucian scriptures, in order to establish his own ideological authority, and then Confucianism does not notice, 'the ugly one who loses', 'the ugly one who loses, but from the Song people, I don't know that there is a Han and Tang Dynasty before the said', can only rely on Zhu Xi's snort: 'The high one talks about life, the ancestors of the Song Dynasty quotations; The humble are accustomed to the industry, and the policies of the Song people are copied'. ”

Fortunately, the anger that Zhang Zhigang suppressed was suddenly about to burst out again, and this passage criticized him even more ruthlessly, and covered him in it. Zhang Zhi was born in a merchant family, you must know that at this time businessmen could not take the imperial examination, so his father asked someone to put him into a single household, into the household, and then he was admitted to the people, although this time the name fell to Sun Shan, but he was still young, and he could continue to take the exam. I am still very proud of my current achievements, but Yang Shen's words basically negate the results of his ten years of hard work. So he stood up, arched his hand to a few people, and said, "The student is unwell, so I will leave first." Everyone returned the salute, and Zhang Zhi just left.

Yang Shen was not so depressed, but looked at the three of them, "How is it?" Do you feel that it is rebellious and insulting to the sages? Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly, but Tang Bohu laughed at himself, "It's not just a virtuous brother who has this kind of thought." I also have questions about Cheng Zhu Lixue, but I was only in this mountain before, but now I jumped out of the circle and looked outside, although I couldn't see the whole picture, I also found some problems. I didn't expect that with the cultivation of the virtuous brother and the weak crown, it is better to have this idea, the foolish brother is not as good as it? Yang Shen replied, "Brother Bohu is too modest, and the younger brother has also gained because of this failure, and by chance, he should not be praised by Brother Bohu." ”

Zhu Houwei interjected on the side, "Okay, both of you, don't be sour." One is an idle cloud and a wild crane, living a dashing life, and the other is rebelling against authority, neither of which is a layman. But if you want to be so humble, you will fall behind. ”

Yang Shen and Tang Yin looked at each other and smiled. Yang Shen said again: "The physics I learned in Chaoyang Academy now, although it looks simple, but martial arts do not reveal the truth of this world. To do knowledge, we must not only learn to be a person, but also learn the truth, and know what it is and why it is true. I have seen my father's official documents, but among them, the way of the saint is not very beneficial, so I want to stay in Chaoyang Temple. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "You are on the point, now I also have to learn to handle official business, and I basically know if there is a problem at a glance at the following recitals, not because I have learned Confucian masterpieces, Cheng Zhuzhi said, but because of "Historical Records", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Zuo Chuan", etc., as well as this mathematics. Sometimes, when you have to make a choice between your personal character and the interests of the people, there will be something wrong with choosing either side. The Song Dynasty's Prime Minister Zhao said that half of the treatise on governing the world is also wrong. ”

Zhu Houwei turned to Tang Yin: "What about Brother Bohu?" Ready to stay here? Tang Yin smiled and said, "Now I am alone, I am at home everywhere, and I can't live anywhere." Although my days in Chaoyangyuan are still short, I feel very different from other places. Now while learning painting skills, teaching Danqing at the same time can be regarded as a leisure. Although he said it chicly, the gloomy color in his eyes was still noticed by Zhu Houwei, but he didn't know whether it was the imperial examination or the lonely family.

Zhu Houwei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Bohu likes peach blossoms, right?" Tang Yin paused for a moment, and a little chubby face showed a look of surprise, "His Royal Highness King Fu also knows?" ”

Zhu Houwei smiled mysteriously, "The head of the four great talents in Jiangnan, who doesn't know." In my opinion, it is better to settle near this capital, one is to live conveniently, the other is to teach students, with the talent of Brother Bohu will be able to teach many pillars of talent, and the other is to choose a place to live in the suburbs, surrounded by peach trees, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, all over the mountains and fields, a piece of spring, isn't it happy? ”

Yang Shen also said with a smile: "At that time, Brother Bohu will not only be the head of the four talents in Jiangnan, but also the master of the Peach Blossom Nunnery." Tang Bohu also smiled and said, "This is good, I will be called the master of the Peach Blossom Nunnery in the future." Zhu Houzhao interjected, "I'm not very interested in peach blossoms, but when the peaches are ripe, how about asking the owner of the peach blossom nunnery for some peaches?" After saying that, the four of them all laughed.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and Tang Yin was more open, so he asked, "I don't know His Royal Highness King Fu, how do you think you can learn with a cultivator?" Yang Shen knew that Tang Yin was trying to make fun of himself, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhu Houwei said, "Someone has already said that there are talented people in Shu, but I think that Brother Xiu is more than that, and his talent is even more than that." ”

Xie Chunyu is Xie Jin, the word is a great gentleman, and his talent is high, and everyone knows it. Because he often speaks out, he is taboo. But he was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and during the period of Chengzu Zhu Di, he was still the first batch of elders. The talents and personalities are very good, but the career is troubled and the ending is tragic. But at this time, everyone knew that Zhu Houwei was just talking about talent. Yang Shen was also a little surprised and said, "I have won the award, I dare not be ashamed." ”

After a little more chatting, everyone took their leave. Bai Yulian and the others also finished getting together with Ding Li, and the gifts and food they brought this time were also handed over to Xiao Ding Li. Zhu Houzhao and his entourage set off from Chaoyang Courtyard and prepared to return to the capital.

On the carriage, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Do you value that Tang Yin very much?" Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "A country needs talents to govern the country, and all walks of life also need talents who can innovate, create, and change society, but those who belong to a civilized label need an artistic family." Zhu Houwei is more disgusted by the fact that when young people in later generations mention art, they are Monet, Van Gogh, Impressionism, or something, as if art only exists in the West, but they don't know about the outstanding artists of their own country. As an excellent civilization that has been precipitated for thousands of years, this is a great pity.

Zhu Houzhao didn't understand much, but after listening to it, he nodded slightly and didn't say much.
