The atmosphere in the hall was really embarrassing, Wang Shouren did not hide his feelings at all, and drank tea expressionlessly by himself, neither greeting nor polite, but as if the Daming Town Guogong and Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Zhenfu in front of him did not exist. This is a kind of cold violence in disguise, a typical way for literati to express their dissatisfaction.

Song Nan didn't care at all, took a sip of tea and smiled: "Lord Wang, everyone in the capital is talking about your Lord Wang, I heard that you advocate mental science and academic is very clever, I don't know if you can talk about this mental matter?" ”

Wang Shouren said lightly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, but there is no need to talk about it." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, this is not modest, this is unwilling to discuss this matter with me, is it because I am a martial artist, tell me that these are suspected of playing the piano to the cow?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "Don't you dare to be so analogous, isn't Zhenguo Gong here to talk about business?" Let's talk about business, Wang never talks about academics in the afternoon, if you want to talk about tomorrow, please be early. ”

Sun Xuan couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang is rude, in front of you is the Duke of Daming Town, Lord Song who has made great contributions to Daming, what kind of attitude do you have?" ”

Wang Shouren sneered: "I don't need Sun Zhenfu to remind me, Wang knows who you are, but it's my freedom to talk about academic matters or not, is it possible that I want to say whatever I want to say and don't want to say anything, and I have to be constrained by you?" ”

Sun Xuan was angry and wanted to scold, Song Nan smiled and waved his hand: "Sun Zhenfu doesn't want to intervene, Lord Wang doesn't want to say that it is his freedom, how can we be strong?" But Lord Wang, don't think I'm mentioning it casually, in fact, one of the purposes of my coming here today is to ask the great Confucians of the time to teach the essence of the study of the mind. When I met with Lord Wang but didn't ask for advice from the originator of Xinxue, wouldn't I enter Jinshan and return empty-handed? Lord Wang must have thought that I was a reckless man, and disdained to talk to me about it. ”

Wang Shouren said lightly: "Wang Mou didn't treat Zhenguo Gong as a reckless man, Zhenguo Gong has great skills that no one can look up to in my Ming Dynasty, Zhen Guogong is a person of great wisdom and strategy, Wang's mental scholarship is just a very boring and idle nonsense, and it can't be in the ears of Zhenguo Gong." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and smiled: "This is a bad word, to put it in my heart, in my opinion, it is easy to make contributions on the battlefield, but it is the most difficult thing to say that the brain that changes the square inch is the most difficult thing." ”

Song Nan pointed to his head and said: "There are military orders in the army, and there are national laws in the country, but there are laws and regulations, and people's behaviors can be expected and controlled, but these are just constraints on behavior, you never know what people think in their heads." The reason why Confucius, Mengcheng, and Zhu are called sages is that they transformed people's ideas and made people follow their teachings from the heart, which is many times more clever than the mandatory provisions of the laws and regulations, and can even be described as great and immortal. No matter how many dynasties have changed, dynasties, and personnel have risen and fallen, such things have been preserved and developed, how can this be compared with the little feats established for the rise and fall of one generation after another? Lord Wang's mind can compete with Cheng Zhu Xianxian's science, this is the birth of a sage, Song admires and worships from the heart, rather than hypocrisy. Whether or not Lord Wang is willing to tell me what this mental study is, I must solemnly state this point, and ask Lord Wang to understand. If the theory of Xinxue is more in line with people's hearts than Cheng Zhu's reasoning, I am willing to accept the baptism of Xinxue, rather than holding on to the rules. ”

Wang Shouren was quite shocked, Song Nan's words sounded like he was deliberately touting himself, and the last sentence seemed to have some temptation. But it is in line with the idea in his heart, in the quiet night of no one, Wang Shouren has already included himself in the list of sages, he is proud of his ability to carry forward the induction and promotion of the study of the mind, he thinks that he has completed the same thing that Confucius Mengcheng Zhu and other sages have done, maybe not as far-reaching as they are, even if not a great sage, he is a small sage.

But he also knew that his mind was famous by criticizing Cheng Zhu, although it was fierce, but it was far from becoming a climate; Today, when Cheng Zhu's science was at its peak, his mind was only a small shoot, and he only had some influence among ordinary Confucian scholars and scribes, and was far from being recognized by the collective recognition of contemporary Confucian scholars. On the contrary, some people have already criticized his theory of mind, and some people are even preparing to write a book to ban this kind of crooked theory that is contrary to the far-reaching Cheng Zhu theory. At this time, if there is a powerful minister who vigorously touts his scholarship, it is undoubtedly a great help, and Song Nan is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

However, in the face of Song Nan, Wang Shouren couldn't get rid of the established impression of this person, this person was previously classified as a courtier like Liu Jin and others, and now he should be called a minister, the scene of the sound of the court staff in front of the Qianqing Palace is vivid, Wang Shouren can't imagine the impact on his reputation after befriending this person. At the same time, his stubborn and noble heart does not allow him to do so.

"Thank you Zhenguo Gong for raising up, but Zhen Guogong is obviously overrated, Wang didn't want to become a sage, he just summed up what he thought in his heart, as for the consequences, he didn't think about it. And Zhenguo Gong does not have to fold and hand over, you need to know that between you and me is like the surging Yellow River and the water of the Yangtze River, the paths are different, and there will never be an intersection. I said this a little disrespectfully, but Shouren has his own rules of conduct and will never go against his heart. ”

"Be bold, don't you be ashamed?" Sun Xuan was angry, he believed that Song Nan would also be angry when he heard such rude words, this sour meaning was to draw a line with Lord Song and disdain to make friends, which was a typical kicking of the nose and face.

Song Nan waved his hand to stop Sun Xuan, and the smile on his face did not change: "Lord Wang will make you and me a big river, I don't dare to be a big river, Lord Wang or a big river is surging, but I am just a trickle." But Lord Wang's words are not very rigorous, although the big rivers have no intersection, but thousands of streams return to the sea, they will always converge in one place, and when the time comes, you have me and I have you, and they can't be separated. Lord Wang insisted on not sharing with me, and I can understand that. Recently, some people have put forward a lot of crusades against the study of the mind, and it seems that they are all true, and Lord Wang must also be not confident enough in the art of the mind, for fear of revealing flaws, which is understandable. I'll just say, Cheng Zhuzhi's theory has been ingrained for hundreds of years, how can it be replaced by other academics as soon as it comes out, just don't talk about it, let's talk about business. ”

Wang Shouren changed color and said: "Zhen Guogong, this statement is wrong, I am not afraid of revealing any so-called flaws, there are many fallacies in Cheng Zhu's science, my mind is overkill, how can I be afraid to compare with it?" This section needs to be clarified. ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "If you don't say it, I don't want to hear it." ”

Wang Shouren got up and said, "If you don't listen, you can't do it, how can Wang tolerate such a misunderstanding?" When the great Confucian of the dynasty criticized a lot of words, Wang has always been out of sight, but the adults questioned it in person, how could Wang not respond? Although the academic battle is not a life-and-death battle, it must also distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "Hey, but we have to talk about business." ”

"We'll talk about it later, let's figure it out first."

Song Nan said with a bitter face: "Okay, if you want to say it, I'll listen." ”

Sun Xuan opened his mouth wide and was stunned, at the beginning, Song Nan wanted to talk about psychology, Wang Shouren didn't want to deal with it, and now Wang Shouren wants to die begging for a white talk about psychology, but the adults are helpless; The two of them changed positions in the blink of an eye, but it was really confusing.

Wang Shouren got up and walked outside the hall, Song Nan followed him, and the two walked down the steps to the bamboo forest in the corner of the courtyard.

"If you want to talk about the mind I advocate, you need to talk about the past to this bamboo cultivation." Wang Shouren said slowly.

Song Nan smiled: "Yes, there is an anecdote circulating in private, the so-called allusion to Shouren Gezhu, I just want to ask for advice." ”

Wang Shouren's face remained unchanged, but his heart was much more comfortable, it seems that Zhen Guogong is not indifferent to his own affairs, his past career has become an anecdote and allusions circulated in the officialdom, which shows that the influence of Xinxue is not small, and he is also very complacent in his heart, and his opinion of Song Nan has improved a lot.

"I can't talk about anecdotes, but it is a real thing that happened to me, I had many ambitions when I was a teenager, and when I was fifteen years old when I traveled to Juyong Pass with my father, I had the ambition to fight on the battlefield for the country's borders, and even secretly hid my father to join the army."

Song Nan smiled and said, "It's not surprising that young people are full of blood and ambition. ”

Wang Shouren said: "I am not afraid of the jokes of Zhenguogong, my father scolded me for being a big void, beat me with a bamboo board for several days, and taught me to understand the unreality of this ambition. ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "Ling Zun is also upright. ”

Wang Shouren said: "This ambition was frustrated, and soon I set up a new ambition, which is what people often call Chang Lizhi, and I am ashamed to say it." ”

Song Nan smiled: "What's the shame? When I was young, I always looked forward to the future and my ambitions were changeable, which was because of my immature mind; Speaking of which, I had a lot of ambitions when I was a teenager. ”

Wang Shouren turned his head and smiled: "I don't know if you can say it and listen to it?" ”

Song Nan said: "Why not, my ambition before was to enter the imperial examination and enter the cabinet to assist the king and become a famous minister of the ten thousand ancient times." ”

Wang Shouren smiled and nodded.

"It's a pity that after ten years of study, it is difficult to get into the show, and then I am determined to be the number one businessman in the world, and I am determined to marry her after seeing a beautiful woman in Ulzhou, and I have been determined to become the first Bole in the world when I see a divine horse in the Ulzhou army, and even see the East Street Wan Tu Tan chest slaughtering cattle and pigs I feel that it is very powerful, and I have determined to become the first butcher in the world."

Wang Shouren stumbled, forced himself to hold back the laughter that came up, covered his mouth and coughed a few times

"If you want to laugh, you can laugh, I want to laugh myself." Song Nan laughed.

Wang Shouren couldn't hold it back any longer, and opened his mouth to laugh.
