Wang Yangming set off from Longchangyi, and as long as someone invited him on the way, he stopped to give a lecture.

Sometimes when I encounter official studies, I will give lectures in them for a day or two, and it is his set of mental studies that he will talk about.

Although some students think that it has tampered with the Taoist system, most students are still deeply impressed by the theory of mind.

This gave them a sense of sudden enlightenment, and they also had a deeper understanding and belief in Zhu Zi's doctrine.

Don't look at Zhu Xi's also proposed "learning from things", but in fact, there is still imprisonment, and it is believed that you must know the way of the sage in your mind before you can practice it.

In other words, Zhu Xi's science is still a model of Hao's first poor scriptures, and from the perspective of "Epistemology", this is completely putting the cart before the horse.

Because according to epistemology, "knowledge" and "action" are complementary processes, and after understanding the truth, we can truly grasp the truth through practice, and we can better understand the truth through practice.

And Wang Yangming's "unity of knowledge and action" points out the shortcomings of science in the past, which seems to have only a layer of window paper, but it is very difficult to pierce it.

In addition to this time and space, Wang Yangming's psychology draws on "Yan Zheng Philosophy", so the entire system of psychology pays more attention to practice, not only to practice, but also to test whether he really grasps the principles of heaven through practice.

And the three rules of applying to the world, helping the world and saving the people, and applying what they have learned have made these students feel that Yangming Xinxue may be a real smooth road.

Since the Two Song Dynasty, scholars have fallen more and more into a dead end, and many people are familiar with the matter of discerning the scriptures, and everyone can write moral articles.

But the Ming Dynasty is still in this situation, and Wang Yangming's psychology faintly prescribed a prescription for them, that is, sages and sages can't do good things just by reading them well.

Not being able to do things means that you can't achieve the ultimate goal of governing the country and leveling the world, which is like Daigo's words.

The three words "doing practical things" are very likely to be led by Yangming Psychology in this time and space.

……

Just like this, when I arrived in Huarong County again, it was already two months after leaving Longchangyi.

At this time, Huarong County is full of spring, the grass on both sides of the official road is green, and the road is a little muddy due to a burst of rain just now.

Wang Yangming was wearing a coat and riding a donkey, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the county seat, he saw a group of people waiting from a distance, and the leader was Liu Daxia.

Compared with two years ago, Liu Daxia's spirit seems to be better, his face is ruddy, and when he saw Wang Yangming, he trotted over and laughed loudly: "Bo'an, you can let the old man look through the autumn water!" ”

As early as in the letter, Wang Yangming accepted Liu Daxia's invitation and confessed: "Dongshan Gong forgive me, I lectured all the way, and I was delayed for some time!" ”

"Hahaha, Bo'an doesn't have to accuse! The more you learn, the better, the more enlightened people you read, and the more talents we have! Liu Daxia took Wang Mingyang's hand.

"It's too much!"

"Bo'an is too modest! Two years ago, you came to see the old man, and the old man gave him books, but you didn't expect that just a few months later, you gave the old man such a surprise! is really worthy of being the Su Hui prodigy of the year, you are really a Wenqu star! ”

Wang Yangming smiled bitterly: "Speaking of this, it is better to thank Dongshan Gong in the next life, if there are no these books, I am afraid that I will not have today's knowledge!" ”

Liu Daxia pulled Wang Yangming, made a gesture of invitation and said: "This is also a peach in return, two years ago the old man begged for retro, in order to change the name of the law, and then in the letter, after learning that you have enlightened the Tao, I only feel that your knowledge is very consistent with the way of changing the law, although today I am still changing the law, but I understand that if your knowledge can flourish, the theory of changing the law can also be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" ”

Wang Yangming didn't want to talk about changing the law, so he said as he walked: "In the past two years, what I have thought about is to improve my mind and study, and in addition, I don't think there is a hurry to change the law!" ”

"Why?"

Wang Yangming stopped, took out his hand and saluted: "As Dongshan Gong just said, at present, my Ming subjects are still ignorant, and there are few people who are obsessed with moral articles. I am not afraid that no one will do it, but I am afraid that the court will change the law, and the subjects are at a loss, and they don't know the pros and cons of changing the law!

Therefore, what I wish for the rest of my life is to spread knowledge, and the second is to practice knowledge. As long as my subjects of the Ming Dynasty know how to apply it to the world, and they all know the unity of knowledge and action, they will seek truth from facts, then no matter what the court does, the subjects will have a plan in their hearts, and they will naturally support it! This is the real change, not the change! Dongshan Gong once said that I have changed things but there is no change in the law, and I think the root cause is still the ignorance of the subjects!

If they all understand that everyone can be Yao Shun, and they also work hard to practice, less rhetoric and moral articles, and can be down-to-earth to integrate knowledge and action, and settle down to do a few small practical things, this world may be very different! ”

Liu Daxia was silent, and the accompanying students were also a little stunned.

Wang Yangming's meaning is obvious, that is, the dissemination of knowledge is more important than the change of the law, and in his words, he is also a little pessimistic about the future of the change.

"Bo'an wants to spread knowledge, which is also a great thing! The old man said, as long as you can prosper in this way of learning and changing the Fa, even if the current generation cannot see its achievements and change the Fa, the next generation will definitely be able to see it! ”

After saying that, Liu Daxia made a gesture of please again.

Wang Yangming was a little embarrassed, and walked towards Liu Gong Ancestral Hall with a wry smile.

After entering the house and sitting down, Liu Daxia had already prepared a table of banquets, he took a pot of good rice wine and said: "Shaoxing rice wine, specially prepared for Bo'an!" ”

"I have a heart!" Wang Yangming hurriedly raised his glass.

Liu Daxia took a sip, and then said to the hall: "Mingzhong, Junren, Enming, Ji Zhi, I haven't come to see Yang Minggong yet!" ”

The four disciples walked out from the side in unison, standing respectfully under the table, raising their glasses in unison.

Wang Yangming was a little surprised, and he hurriedly raised his glass in return.

Liu Daxia drank a cup and said: "Bo'an, practical and realistic, your learning, through a lot of "Yan Zheng Philosophy" truth, in your opinion, the Tai people's heavenly principles are also heavenly principles, in the past two years, the Huang people's newspapers, books, and old men have also sent you every month, you can not only integrate the Huang people's knowledge with the famous teachings, then have you ever penetrated the strong principles of the Huang people? ”

Wang Yangming put down the wine glass and arched his hand: "In the past, Dongshan Gong once said, Ming people seek benevolence, Huang people seek courage, seek benevolence, and seek benevolence and materiality. I remember this sentence clearly, I thought it was basically not bad, there are no three outlines and five constants, but there is practical learning, which is also a fact! However, in the past two years, I have participated in meditation many times, and I have been friends with the god of the black man named Yan Zheng for a long time, and I think that the strength of the black people does not lie in the strength of the ship, but in the people! ”

"People? Why? ”

"The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. This is to govern the people, and the people who govern the people are mostly imprisoned, and their ignorance does not know what the truth is, so they naturally do not understand the laws and regulations of the imperial court, but only know how to work in the fields, day after day, they are afraid of officials, and cowardly! Even if you are brave, it is difficult to play.

And Eastern Qin is the rule of the people! What is the rule of the people? This is a word that I also read in the newspapers, and its roots are to make the people aware of it, to make the people aware of their rights, so that there are laws and regulations to guarantee their rights. Such a person understands the policies and decrees of the imperial court, and understands the truth even more. They are also more tolerant of the new atmosphere. Even if the imperial court really wants to change the law, they can know a thing or two through the newspaper!

Dongshan Gong, this is no trivial matter! Dongqin has really done it, so that 'everyone can be Yao Shun', and truly educated all the people, so one Dongqin people is better than a hundred, a thousand Ming people! The way to the strength of the Eastern Qin Dynasty is here, which is also the stubborn disease of my Ming Dynasty, even if it is the Han and Tang dynasties, this is also a stubborn disease! ”

When Wang Yangming said this, he raised his glass and took a sip, and then said: "If I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are all literate and hyphenated, understand the truth, and have laws and regulations to protect their rights, how can they not be renewing day by day, and being new people every day?" If the people sweep away the decline and work hard, can I be strong?

Dongshan Gong's request for change, in my opinion, is also a change! Whether it is Wang Anshi's change or the change of the ancient sages, it is just a change! The real change is to change people's hearts! My heart is the universe, the people's hearts are strong to the court, and the court is naturally strong! In a word, only like Dongqin, everyone is born equal, and there is something to be done in the world! ”

Boom - Liu Daxia and several disciples were shocked, Wang Yangming actually believed in his heart that all people are born equal.

In fact, this is not surprising, Wang Yangming of another time and space, in "The Theory of the Source of the Origin", many thoughts point to the sentence "all people are created equal".

In this life, after the intensification of the people's knowledge, Wang Yangming already believed it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

This is also the reason why he is not obsessed with changing the law, in his opinion, if he does not solve this problem, then no matter how much he changes the law, it is just tinkering.

Therefore, he desperately hopes that he can spread Yangming Psychology to the world, so that the people of Daming can understand some truths.

But it's so hard!

Liu Daxia thought for a while, let out a long sigh, got up and arched towards Wang Yangming: "Bo'an has lofty ambitions, although the old man can't agree with this matter, he still hopes that you can pass on your knowledge to the world!" It doesn't matter if you change the law or change things! There are always people who come out and do some practical things! ”

Of course, he didn't dare to agree, "all people are created equal" This is a real deviance, the Confucian Three Principles and Five Constants, what is described is respect and inferiority, and once the set of monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons is broken, it is equivalent to a great earthquake in the entire famous religion.

In the words of later generations, this is not a change, but a revolution!

Wang Yangming smiled bitterly and returned the salute, he didn't dare to write this sentence into his mind, that is, he understood the stakes, but he understood that what the people could do, the Ming should be able to do, after all, most of the people were Ming people who had escaped.

"Bo'an, today the old man pulled down his face, there is one more thing to ask of you! In Zhengde's six-year talent ceremony, the disciples of the old man have the opportunity to take the exam! Please also Bo'an, say hello to the old ones in Beijing, and take care of one or two! Old man, I can't wait! ”

Wang Yangming looked at Liu Daxia's disciples, and said that there were some bad rules, but he still nodded.
