After a tiring night, his father and son returned home, rested for a while, bandaged Li Rusong's wounds, ate something and got busy again - Gu Shanglang's body needs to be buried today.

The funeral customs of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty were basically the same in the north and south:

1) The beginning and the end, the conjuring of spirits. (2) Light the portable lamp. The portable lamp, also known as the longevity lamp and the soul-attracting lamp, is lit at the feet of the deceased until it is buried.

(15) Xie Xiao. After the funeral was held, the mourners came to thank their relatives and friends and said: Xie Xiao.(16) Warm the tomb. "Wanli Shuntianfu Chronicles" cloud: Jingshi funeral, the funeral is not overtime, the funeral is three days with a cemetery, called "warm tomb", and it is also the will of the "ceremony" Yu sacrifice

It's a pity that both the family and the Gu family are poor, where can they have the money to hold funerals according to the ancient rites, so everything is simple, except for Gu Xiu'er, who needs to keep filial piety for her father for three years, nothing else. built a simple mourning hall in his yard, Gu Xiu'er and Li Rusong wore linen and filial piety

Last night, Li Chengliang paid for a medium-sized thin-skinned coffin from the coffin shop, and the body of Gu Shanglang was parked in his yard, and Feng took Gu Xiu'er to keep vigil and incense. Early in the morning, the neighbors spontaneously rushed to the funeral, and Li Chengliang took Xu Ding, Wang Xiaoer and Orion Qin Hui, and the four of them were responsible for carrying the coffin.

Li Rusong took his younger brother, his six-year-old brother Li Rubai, to help his mother Feng Shi help in the back kitchen, but he was always absent-minded, always looking ahead, as if waiting for something.

"Brother, you go to the front to help, just me and my mother here" Six-year-old Li Rubai raised his little face and said crisply.

"Well, Rubai, brother go to the front first, you obediently help your mother here" Touching his brother's little head apologetically, Li Rusong said to his mother and walked towards the front yard.

"Little Brother Li" walked around the front yard, but did not find He Xinyin, and when he was worried, Li Rusong suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to him, and turned his head to find He Xinyin standing at the door of his own courtyard and waving to him.

"Little Brother Li forgives me, He Mou came uninvited" He Xinyin was wearing a white plain dress and a plain turban today, and the strong man behind him was holding fire paper and other funeral things in his hands.

"Mr. He's words are serious, if it weren't for Mr. Yesterday's righteousness and squandering money, Rusong may have already become a ghost of Huangquan. Mr. please," Li Rusong said as he stretched out his hand to invite He Xinyin in, who walked to the mourning hall with a sad face, and meticulously knelt down to worship the spiritual seat of Gu Shanglang.

This scene immediately stunned the people who came to the funeral for Gu Shanglang, the literati have a very high social status in these years, and they are either rich or expensive. In their eyes, the common people are just tools for them to gain profits, and they don't care about them at all. Yesterday, many people saw that this gentleman had saved Li Rusong's life, and all the eyes that looked at He Xinyin were filled with reverence.

The common people are actually the easiest group to satisfy, and all they want is respect and equality.

"Mr. He, please sit in the house" After the ceremony, Li Rusong stretched out his hand and brought He Xinyin into the house to drink tea, but he had a request for He Xinyin, so he must not let go of this opportunity.

"What is Brother Li talking about?" He Xinyin was not hypocritical, he went into the room and found a random place to sit down, and asked with a smile.

"Mr. He is worthy of being Mr. Wang Gen's first apprentice, such as Song remembers that Mr. Wang Gen once said, 'Make the servant father and son happy under the rule, and still explain this learning with the second and third sons, the so-called teacher is established, then there are many good people, there are many good people, then the court is right, and the world is governed 'What Mr. Guan did today, Mr. Wang Gen's true biography. So Rusong has a request, I hope Mr. wishes me a hand," Li Rusong deeply bowed to He Xinyin and said respectfully.

"Shhh Do you actually know the legacy of my master? Dare to ask which great sage the little brother studied with? On the surface, he still looks like an Antas Taishan, but Li Rusong knows very well: He Xinyin has already had a storm in his heart at this time, because the few words Li Rusong said just now are exactly what his master Wang Gen said when he resigned from the imperial court.

Wang Gen studied under the sage Wang Shouren, who could be said to be one of the outstanding among Wang Shouren's many disciples, and founded the Taizhou School, which was admired by many high-ranking officials and famous scholars all over the world.

In that year, the imperial court invited Wang Gen to join the court as an official twice, but Wang Gen refused to resign, leaving these few sentences to concisely express the core of Taizhou's psychology: to be the academic thought that the people need! It was regarded as a testament by all the disciples of the Taizhou Xinxue School and unswervingly implemented.

Li Rusong is just a ten-year-old child, and he can casually say Wang Gen's testament, He Xinyin was surprised to think that Li Rusong had a master of the Taizhou School behind him, and even a senior of Xinxue.

Li Rusong didn't say anything about He Xinyin's question, but turned around and took out a delicate wooden box from a tattered bookcase in the corner of the room, opened the box, respectfully took out two things, a book and a picture scroll, and put them on the table with both hands.

"It's actually from the Patriarch's Sect!" Carefully opening the picture scroll on the table, He Xinyin only glanced at it, and then said dumbfounded.

That picture scroll is the portrait of Wang Shouren, the founder of the study of mind and a generation of sages, and the book is Wang Shouren's lifelong study of "University Question"!

"When Rusong was a teenager, he accidentally got Mr. Mingyang's portrait and writings, and felt that the words in it were good words for the world, and his 'unity of knowledge and action' Rusong thought it was true, so he took the liberty of learning it, and hoped that Mr. would forgive him" Li Rusong saluted He Xin with a disciple salute at this time, and made up nonsense unhurriedly.

"Ha Lu Ha Confucianism in the world all think that my mind is a fallacy and a crooked heresy, but Senior Brother Li is regarded as a sage. It's okay, it's okay, you and I can be commensurate with each other. Tell me what I need my brother's help with? He Xinyin is informal, Li Rusong treats the writings and portraits of the sage Wang Yangming like this, and is proficient in Wang Gen's testament, and he has regarded Li Rusong as his junior brother in his heart, and he can't help but feel a lot more cordial between his words.

"Rusong wants to revive his mind in Liaodong, so that the ancestor of Mingyang and the sage of Confucius are side by side, so as to receive incense" Li Rusong's words are like Huang Zhong Dalu, shaking He Xinyin's heart.

"What are you going to do? This is no joke! Do you know the attitude of the literati and gentry towards Wang Xue? That's not just a lie! Although He Xinyin's words were very harsh, what they revealed was deep expectation.

The patriarch and the Confucian sage were placed side by side, becoming a generation of sages, and making Xinxue change from a sideline to the words of a sage, which is something that countless Xinxue disciples want to do but can't do.

Li Rusong smiled slightly, his goal had been half achieved, and in order to realize his plans and ambitions, the full help of Wang Xue's disciples was indispensable. And if you want to get the unreserved support of the disciples of Wang Xue in the world, you must do one thing - help Wang Yangming become holy!

"Senior brother doesn't know, Liaodong is a land of tigers and wolves, and many people are illiterate and don't learn Cheng Zhu Lixue. In the eyes of my junior brother, this is the paradise where my Wang Xue flourishes. Senior brother, just imagine, if the entire Liaodong and my Ming people are all studying Xinxue, Wang Xue will definitely prosper, and by that time Wang Xue's firm believers will be enough to compete with Cheng Zhu Lixue. Hehe, I don't know what else those so-called Qingliu gentry can do to hinder my teacher from being among the sages! He Xinyin's eyes became brighter and brighter with Li Rusong's words, and when he reached the end, he was almost full of essence, his face became flushed, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Wang Shouren is in the temple of saints, and he enjoys the worship and worship of scholars all over the world, which is the lifelong desire of all Wang Xuemen people in the world. In their hearts, Wang Shouren's influence and ability are even higher than those of Confucius, opening a new door for scholars who have been trapped in Cheng Zhu's science for thousands of years: not irrational empty talk, but a real way to govern the country.

The core idea of the Taizhou School founded by He Xinyin's teacher Wang Gen is that the purpose of reading books is to do things for the common people, which is completely contrary to the traditional Cheng Zhu theory. It can be said to be the most radical of all the Wang schools, and it is incompatible with Cheng Zhu's science and technology.

If you want Wang Xue to become a righteous and bright academic thought, the biggest premise is that there are many people to learn and understand Wang Xue, and at the same time take Wang Xue as the only doctrine they recognize. The former condition is easy, and the latter condition is not easy.

Cheng Zhu Lixue is an academic thought that has ruled China for thousands of years, and its concepts and core ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after thousands of years of reform and development, and have even become an important basis for rulers to maintain their rule and select talents. In contrast, Wang Xue, which has only been around for a few decades, can be said to be a kind of "wild way", and most readers only selectively understand Wang Xue, rather than taking it as their main research direction.

In He Xinyin's view, it is almost impossible to make Wang Xue an academic thought on a par with Cheng Zhu's science, maybe thousands of years later, but Li Rusong's method opened a new door for him!

Liaodong can be said to be one of the worst and bitter cold places in the Ming Dynasty, and there are basically no scholars here, let alone those who spread academic ideas. But this is precisely the biggest advantage of Liaodong, like a blank piece of paper, which can be rendered completely according to your own ideas. If more than half of the people of Liaodong all study Wang Xue and take Wang Xue as the only idea for their own research and study, why worry about Wang Xue not being prosperous? The patriarch of Mingyang will be placed alongside Confucius, and the world will be worshiped by incense.

The biggest characteristic of He Xinyin is that he has a personality similar to that of a gambler, as long as he recognizes something, even if there is little hope, he will try his best. Although Li Rusong is only a ten-year-old child, He Xinyin sees a strong hope for Daxing Wang Xue in him, and during the day yesterday, Li Rusong fought against the Mongolian Tatars in order to protect the people, and his fearless sexiness, as well as the quality of not bending and repaying kindness, he has a hidden appetite for He Xin.

Even He Xinyin knew that Li Rusong and Li Chengliang went out to kill the Mongolian Tartars who were making trouble during the day last night, and then they were framed by Luo Xin. Li Rusong was not afraid of danger, solved things wittily and skillfully, and forced Luo Xin to back down. All kinds of everything, He Xinyin was amazed and admired. This is the person who is dedicated to the people, compared with those Cheng Zhu Lixue literati who talk about righteousness and cower when things come to an end, they are simply inferior to pigs and dogs.

Moreover, Li Rusong has learned the thoughts of Wang Xue's first teacher Wang Yangming since he was a child, and he will definitely support Wang Xue without hesitation when he is in a high position in the future.

"I know that I will move out these two things, and I don't worry that Wang Xuemen will not be moved" On the surface, he still made a respectful and respectful look, Li Rusong's heart was already happy, as long as He Xinyin was moved, his next things would be much easier.

"Whew! Remember that in the future, there can only be Wang Academy in Liaodong! After being silent for a while, He Xinyin took a long breath and said categorically.

"Follow the teachings of the senior brother" Li Rusong didn't say much, but respectfully bowed to He Xinyin, looking like the junior brother was accepting the teachings of the senior brother.

"Ha Lu Ha If my uncle doesn't dislike it, he will go to the capital with me" After speaking, He Xinyin patted Li Rusong's shoulder cordially, turned his head and left.

He Xinyin would not have thought that his almost gambling move today would not only save his life in the future, but also make the clear stream of the Ming Dynasty have a terrifying "enemy".
