Zhishan said with a sad face: "Master Zheng, sometimes it doesn't work, it depends on the piety of the pilgrims. ”

"Am I not religious?" Zheng Lang asked rhetorically.

It is also easy to misunderstand, I believe in Buddhism from a few mothers, I have been influenced by them since I was a child, and even learning is using the posture of meditation, this is not pious, what is piety? In fact, Zheng Lang is really not religious, but why not ask?

Zhishan knew about this festival, and said silently: "Okay, Master Zheng, the poor monk is ready to open the golden wheel immediately." ”

Not all pilgrims can see the golden wheel, want to see, either very status, or donate a lot of incense money, there is a big family surnamed Liu in Taiping Prefecture came to ask for peace, saw the golden wheel in turning, at that time made a grand wish, willing to donate 100 acres of good land to the temple, so the golden wheel turned very fast, more and more donations, and finally actually donated 400 acres of land, became the "beautiful talk" of Taiping Prefecture.

It's only remarkable in Taipingzhou, but it's nothing in the entire Song Dynasty. Forty years ago, the military general An Shouzhong donated his 48 hectares of fertile land to Guangci Monastery to pray for blessings, and there was a more fierce person behind, Zhang Di took the mansion in Hangzhou as a Shifang Temple, and 6,300 acres of land in Runzhou as a permanent residence.

Therefore, it is very difficult for a famous temple like Linjiang Temple to move it.

Zhizen began to instruct the little novice to prepare. However, his abnormal attitude, even the four children also had stronger suspicions, originally Zhishan was very happy to hear that Zheng Lang wanted to see the Golden Wheel, and repeatedly said that he was willing to take the initiative to seal the Guanyin Zen Academy. Hesitation when it is really sealed, and hesitation again when it comes to opening the golden wheel, why?

Turning his head to look at Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang secretly shook his head at them.

Today, I came here to take a look at the study, and by the way, the Zen temple was blocked, and now that the goal has been achieved, I can't force it down, force it too hard, and startle the snake.

After a while, the golden bell in the bell temple on the mountain struck up, and the crisp bell echoed in the mountain forest. Four monks walked in with wooden fish, drums, chimes, and cloud boards in their hands. Zhishan said: "Master Zheng, please kneel down and offer incense." ”

"Abbot, I'm afraid it's not right, when I was with Your Majesty, Your Majesty didn't let me kneel, today I knelt down to hear the bell, I don't know if it reached the capital, what does Your Majesty think?"

Let me kneel? No way!

But it is not a psychological tactic, you can't kneel, a kneel is a kind of submission, and it is even possible that this kneeling, superstitious people have even been enslaved since then.

"Master Zheng, it's the Buddha."

It's a lifeless statue! But Zheng Lang didn't discern much, and continued: "Your Majesty is also a saint, this is what the senior monk of Xiangguo Temple said, so the saint sees that the saint is not subdued. I don't bow down to His Majesty the Sage, why do I bow down to the Buddha. The Buddha sat in his heart, and the abbot looked at him. ”

"Lord Zheng is not a holy ......"

"Abbot, you're really scratching today! Whether I believe in Buddhism or not, you are the one to make the evaluation! Is this kneeling proof or something? Zheng Lang said angrily in a low voice.

"Master Zheng insisted on this, so he had to rely on Master Zheng."

Zheng Lang won, and he is still very respectful of the three pillars of incense. If you want to see it turn, if you don't "religious", you can't turn it, how do you see it.

The incense went into the incense burner, and the four great monks beat the wooden fish, the small drum, the chime and the cloud board, which was a little noisy, but in this noise, the huge golden wheel shook and turned slowly.

Zheng Lang, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi were waiting for this moment, and when they saw the golden wheel turning, their eyes immediately widened, look, the wind doesn't need to be considered, and people don't need to think about pushing, there is no one outside, even someone can't reach this height, unless they stand on a high chair, and the golden wheel is so huge, if you want to push it, Ding Sheng may not be able to push it easily.

There are also no other mechanical settings, there is nothing in front except for an incense burner, the Buddha is hollowed out into a lotus shape below, the light is very good at this time, it can be seen clearly, empty, nothing else.

The principle of mechanics cannot be explained, nor can the principle of resonance, resonance is only sound, not movement.

Seeing such a strange strength, the Wei family sisters had already fallen deeply. Not only them, but also many tourists and pilgrims came in outside, kneeling at the door one after another, muttering prayers.

After the incense was burned, the golden wheel stopped.

Zhishan said: "Master Zheng, it is possible that you have too many distracting thoughts today, and the golden wheel is turning slowly." ”

After reading it, Zheng Lang didn't argue, and said, "Abbot, it may be." ”

Walking out of Linjiang Temple, the Wei sisters followed up and said, "Champion Gong, have you brought a boat?" ”

"Brought it."

"Can you take the concubine and wait until Taiping Prefecture."

Let Zheng Lang stir up, if he can't ask for a son, he wants to go back to Jiangning, at this time it is close to noon, there are no cars and no boats here, so he has to beg Zheng Lang, and he is not afraid. If Zheng Lang is a bad person, there is no one in the world who can be trusted.

"That's one."

A few young people and Uncle Lu were still thinking, and Sima Guang said blankly: "Doctor Zheng, it's not easy to do." ”

It's not a matter on the mountain that needs evidence, if this golden wheel doesn't break its Fa, the people will continue to worship, and when someone ignites a fire, a popular uprising can happen.

"Sima Sanlang, it's not difficult," Zheng Lang smiled, and said: "But I'm thinking about something else, this golden wheel is also ingenious, if there are seven or eight such miracles, put them in Wuhu County, will they attract some tourists?" ”

"Tourists?"

"With tourists, there are a few things for them to visit, where they can stay, and once they stay, inns, restaurants, all have business, and even buy some small things, and the place becomes rich. The local people were rich, and the imperial court could also levy more taxes. I have told Your Majesty about open source before, and this is the real open source, not to collect wealth for the country and harsh the people. ”

"That's a good idea, why don't you give advice to Your Majesty."

"It is difficult, there are many disputes, and the implementation is improper, which may be counterproductive, disturb the people, spend funds, and have no effect, and the gains outweigh the losses. I had to pay for it myself, so that other state and county officials wouldn't study indiscriminately. ”

"Why did that golden wheel turn?" Wang Anshi asked.

"I'll go back and tell you."

"What are you talking about?" Wei Xiaoniang asked curiously.

Zheng Lang ignored this little girl and did not answer.

"Could it be that the golden wheel has another cause?"

"I said there was another cause?"

"Nope."

"It's piousness, didn't you hear what the abbot just said?"

The little girl blinked, and then came up again and said, "No, you speak very imfaithfully. ”

"Besides, I'm going to throw you down, don't take you back to Taipingzhou, and let you walk back by yourself."

The little maid picked up a few cabinets and said eagerly: "That's not good, the sun is big, and when you go to Taiping Prefecture, the slave will definitely be tired and lie down." ”

A few children laughed together, and Lu Gong was kind, and said, "Don't ask too much, Doctor Zheng is for your good, and you will know in three months." ”

got on the boat and went down the river, Zheng Lang sat on the deck, and the other few did not learn from him, sitting in the cabin and reading. The little lady of the Wei family asked Sima Guang curiously: "Why don't you call the champion Mr.?" ”

"Sir won't let us call him sir."

"Why?"

Sima Guang was very helpless about this curious baby, put down the book and said: "He said that he was too young. ”

The girl stared at Zheng Lang, then nodded, "It's so small." ”

"Bigger than you."

"Only two years older than me," the girl said unconvinced.

"That's why Sir won't let us call him Sir."

"Then why don't you sit cross-legged on the ground?"

"Dr. Zheng is learning, we don't have his memory, learning like him is not a tiger, not a dog, Dr. Zheng does not encourage us to sit cross-legged and meditate."

"What happened in that temple?"

"Investigate the case, the case is not closed, and it will be temporarily blocked."

"No, you're so weird."

Sima Guang had no choice but to plug his ears with his hands, only focus on reading, and not listen to her questions.

Mrs. Wei smiled and looked at the ten sisters messing around, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and the ten sisters are the youngest, so they are spoiled together, and they have not been engaged so far.

If you want to have anything with the little champion in the cabin, it's impossible, everyone has become a relative, if it weren't for the strange death of the mother-in-law, even the wife would have been brought to Jiangnan. But even a few of his students seem to be good.

She thought about it for a while, and saw Zheng Lang open his eyes.

Little Lady Wei asked curiously again, "Zheng Zhuangyuan, what kind of knowledge were you meditating on just now?" ”

"Knowledge and action are one."

"That's it, it's so simple, it's the unity of knowing and doing, it's really ......" the stupid word almost said.

"yes, I'm stupid, I've been thinking about this question for more than a year, and I haven't thought about it yet."

A few small eyes shone brightly, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi stood up and said, "Please teach Dr. Zheng." ”

"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a character."

Four sentences, except for Yan Rong, who was a little confused, the other three teenagers all pondered, and after a long time, Wang Anshi said: "Wonderful words." ”

If it's good, look at what Meng Xun has done, one surname is good, the other surname is evil, and where is the I Ching opposite! Therefore, it is said that there is no good and no evil is the body of the mind, and there is good and evil is the movement of the mind. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for the sake of good...... No, he said: "Doctor Zheng, it's not the mean." ”

"Exactly." Zheng Lang sighed, in the early Qing Dynasty, some Ming Dynasty relics attacked Wang Yangming, saying that it was his psychology that harmed the Ming Dynasty, this sentence is a bit excessive. However, it is true that there is a great one-sided surname in thought, and conscience covers cognition, ignoring the logical analysis function of cognition. Based on the surname of the heart, the eccentric and narrow-minded idealism makes his psychology with strong subjective bias defects. The explanation of moral emotions is unclear, and the internal motivation of morality is not clearly understood.

And the unity of knowledge and action is pinned on his four mantras, so it also has many flaws.

The intention is good, wait until you know to do it, what does it mean to know? I don't want to mention the word know for the rest of my life. If you don't know how to do it, you will act blindly and it will not be enough. So what to do? I knew that it was unrealistic, and I didn't know that I couldn't do it, so I said, I must know my purpose. Today's learning, because knowledge and action are divided into two parts, so there is a thought, although it is not good, but it has not been done, so it is not forbidden. Now I am talking about the unity of knowledge and action, just as people know where a thought starts, and then it is done; If there is something bad at every turn, then the bad thought will be overturned, and it is necessary to completely prevent that bad thought from lurking in the chest: this is the purpose of my previous statement.

The so-called action, a thought is the action, even if there is a bad thought, immediately stop, because you have already done it! This makes the line less difficult.

Gently explained these sentences, and said: "If this is the case, the heart of conscience can move and be quiet, and it seems to be a good thing, but over time it will inevitably appear to know but not move, and to do things with good intentions, or to blindly entangle between good and evil, it is better to be more objective to learn and apply." ”

Lu Gongzhu suddenly said: "I understand, the doctor's words are that it is difficult to have an absolute standard in the world. For example, good and evil, such as knowledge and action, such as yin and yang, and then ......"

"And yet we're going to set a standard, aren't we?" Zheng Lang asked.

"Yes."

In fact, the unity of knowledge and action, leaving aside the subjective thought is too clear, there are still many desirable meanings, just like standards, what is standards? It can only be said that we try our best to get it close to the truth. So I thought about this sentence and its meaning, and I thought about it for a long time. ”

The unity of knowledge and action is very similar to Zheng Lang's thoughts, and Zheng Lang's cultivation of Confucianism also changed it from rhetoric to practical surnames, including benevolence, courtesy, loyalty and forgiveness and moderation. However, if you want to adopt the unity of knowledge and action, you must do a bigger operation on Wang Yangyin's unity of knowledge and action.

He sighed and said, "It's so hard." ”

"It's difficult," Wei Xiaoniang said suddenly, no wonder I thought about it for a year or two, so it was. Knowledge and action are one, and she listens and "understands". But the more I heard it, the more dazed I became, and I didn't know what a few people were talking about.

If you can't even understand it yourself, it's definitely hard.

Zheng Lang and the four teenagers turned their heads to look at her, and then burst into laughter. Even the calm Third Uncle Lu made this little girl laugh.

Ignoring this curious big wave girl, Zheng Lang said: "I have considered many theories, and there is no need to quote and explain them. Following the absolute, advocating Taoism. So carry the way. Those who have been preached by the scriptures are also righteous. The six classics are all my footnotes. The universe is in me. Knowledge and action are one. The Six Classics are the place of the Tao. Reason is the order of qi, and words and knowledge are only in things. The surname is named because of the heart. Only the unity of knowledge and action is the best. For example, when we came to Jiangnan this time, we put what we learned in the line and improve our own learning through the line. ”

In fact, this unity of knowledge and action has deviated from Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action.

The four teenagers were even more curious, but they had a good memory, listened carefully, and asked together: "Doctor Zheng, you said so much just now, can you explain it in detail?" ”

Wang Anshi recalled that it was not written on paper, let alone punctuation, but it could be distinguished by the pause when Zheng Lang spoke, and said, "Doctor Zheng, you talked about ten Confucian theories just now?" ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about it in another year, and then summarize it, how about writing a book again?"

"Okay," the four students replied in unison.

There must be a process of practical understanding, which is also what Zheng Lang repeatedly said on the way to Jiangnan.

Mrs. Wei has already pulled Mrs. Wei to the bow of the boat.

"Fifth sister, why are you pulling me?"

"Don't bother them, they're talking about a university that assists the country and helps the people to govern forever."

"It's just them...... Wei Shimei turned her head to look at the few teenagers in the cabin, her mouth wide open.

"If you have ambitions, you are not old, and you have no ambitions to live a hundred years old," is also a sentence that Zheng Lang once quoted, and now it is widely circulated in the Song Dynasty and quoted again for young women.

"Could it be that he is really the Wen Kui Star in the sky?" The little girl glanced at Zheng Lang again in confusion.

"I don't know."

…… The boat soon arrived at Taipingkou, the wharf was in Taipingkou, and went ashore, not far from Dangtu County, which is also the state capital of Taiping Prefecture. Compared with Wuhu Qinggejiang Wharf, Taipingkou Wharf is much more lively, there are many boats moored, there are all from east to west, there are cargo ships, there are also passenger ships, and some fishing boats.

Zheng Lang said: "Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei, you can change ships here, my ship was hired from Zhengzhou, let them go back today." ”

"Thank you, Zheng Zhizhou."

"Don't thank you."

Wei Siniang suddenly walked up to Zheng Lang and asked, "Zheng Zhizhou, are you the star of the world?" ”

Zheng Lang couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the big wave girl, it was really big, which made Zheng Lang suddenly think of a certain "teacher" with a childish face, and said: "I am not a star in the sky, just a grain of sand and gravel on the ground." ”

The little girl wrinkled her nose and said, "Hmph, I don't believe it." ”

Dragged away by her sister.

The group was amused by her again.

When he returned home, there was a guest waiting for him to come back, Wang Zhizhou.

After the mutual chatter, Wang Zhizhou said: "Doctor Zheng, I punished the six sons of the Zhang family, handed over all the encroached Huze, and paid 500 yuan in taxes, and 100 rods at the same time, what do you think?" ”

This case is not clear, if it is strictly demanded, at least 50 families in Taiping Prefecture alone have committed crimes. Such a punishment can be regarded as very severe.

But it is not a judgment that he will adjudicate, and when the handover is made for a while, in addition to counting the accounts, checking and checking the state treasury materials, there are also some case challenges, and some other procedural verifications before the handover can be completed. If you don't find out clearly, if there is something, Xinzhizhou will have to rub the ass for the previous governor.

If Zheng Lang bites his unfair punishment to the six tigers of the Zhang family, he will not be able to hand it over, and he may even be implicated.

"What do you say?"

"I think this punishment is public, and in the future, Dr. Zheng will take over, and he will also govern the people by inaction, if there will be a stirring in every case, it will not be beautiful."

"So during Zhizhou's tenure, let the six brothers of the Zhang family become the six evil tigers?"

Wang Zhizhou's face changed slightly, Zheng Lang said very badly, but he didn't dare to distinguish it, and said: "It's not Taiping Prefecture, there are such people in every state." The Zhang family is considered good, just rich and powerful squires. Some of the families are powerful and wealthy, and the local officials are often miserable. Only perfunctory. I don't believe it, Dr. Zheng will wait and see in the future, if he blindly strives for fairness, the local area will inevitably be in chaos. ”

"You're kind, but you don't understand. I will not be the kind of officer with mixed qualifications, let alone short-sighted. A few months ago, I wrote a strategy that said that being a human being is like climbing a mountain, you can't stare at the distance, you must keep an eye on your feet. However, you can't always keep your eyes on your feet, and sometimes you have to stop and look into the distance. Not only do you take every step of the way, but you also have a big heart. You can go as far as you can see. Zheng Lang said half-admonishing, half-sarcastic.

"Be taught," but Wang Zhizhou didn't think so, thinking in his heart, if I have your talent, I will also have a lofty heart, but I'm not you, what if I don't mess around?

"I understand Wang Zhizhou's mood, I want to hand over as soon as possible, so let's sentence him to pay 3,000 yuan in taxes, the tidal flats can be cultivated, and the name must belong to the imperial court, not his private property."

"No, the Zhang family invited one of the laziest lawsuits in Taiping Prefecture, called Monkey San, once the punishment is too heavy, after this lawsuit ghost entanglement, the case will not be closed for several months."

Lawsuits are ghosts, and they are another bad group in the Song Dynasty!

Zheng Lang was even more dissatisfied with this mixed qualifications Wang Zhizhou in his heart, what is it, the brawl on the lake, the dead people in Linjiang Temple, the six tyrants of the Zhang family, and the evil lawsuit, said a little angrily: "You let his family pay 5,000 yuan in taxes, or settle it all the way from the beginning, and pay as much tax as he should pay." Otherwise, I will return to Beijing immediately and report to Your Majesty that I am no longer competent in Xinzhi Prefecture in Taiping Prefecture. The time when I took office as the governor of the state was mixed, and Taiping Prefecture became a place to hide dirt and dirt, and I can't govern it! ”
