Facts have proved that in terms of learning, Li Kui's attitude is serious, mainly because he is not serious, and he really can't hold back anything decent.

He has read "Biography", and his memory is too vague. The main thing is that the book is too scattered, and it's all dialogue. It is said to be a dialogue, more like a memoir, a collection pieced together by Wang Shouren's group of disciples through memories.

There is a very bad thing about such a book, it speaks of where it is.

Fortunately, Confucian books are just a little bit of a thing when they are turned upside down.

It is not easy for Li Kui to summarize this matter, but it is only not easy. The refinement of Mr. Yang Ming's thoughts is according to the four verses of the mind: no good and no evil is the body of the mind, good and evil are the movement of the will, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is the object. pondering, expanding, and always being able to make up a few decent articles, and then he pondered with a weak heart: although it is not in the middle, it is not far away......

But the process was very difficult, at least for Li Kui.

When he returned home, Li Kui immediately instructed Ruan Xiaowu: "Shut the door and thank you, my lord, I want to write a book!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu showed a frightened expression in his eyes, but he still posted a big word at the gate, with two big words on it - thank you!

In the backyard, Liu Qingqian took two pregnant women with the same figure who were not out of shape, but were identified as pregnant by the imperial doctor An Daoquan, and got together to discuss.

"Master, are you panicking?"

"It doesn't look like it! When he was in Yan'an Mansion, he jumped up and down like a big horse monkey all day long, and then he couldn't hold it anymore and went to the Western Xia Kingdom. ”

"Sister, do you know the reason?"

Liu Qingqian touched her inconspicuous belly, narrowed her Danfeng eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's holding back the bad and hurting people, right?" ”

"Master can't be so bad, right?"

Zhang Zhenniang felt that Liu Qingqian and Nie Cuicui must have had an undeserved misunderstanding of Li Kui, and immediately justified Li Kui's name.

Liu Qingqian waved his hand and said, "Don't guess, let's just go and see together?" ”

When the three stupid women who were pregnant saw Li Kui's face dull and his eyes were dull, hiding in the attic of his backyard, making himself look like a grounded madman, they were frightened: "Master, are you stunned?" Don't think about it! ”

Even Liu Qingqian, who has a childhood sweetheart, has never seen Li Kui so embarrassed. Ever since she met Li Kui, this guy has always been idle.

Li Kui looked up and saw that it was his wife and concubine, so he said angrily: "Master, I'm doing studies, don't bother." ”

With that, his head drooped into the pile of books again. There are still words in his mouth: "Meng said: People are kind." Xun Zi said: People are evil. Good and evil come from the heart, know good and do evil, know filial piety and go retrograde, non-good and not filial piety. Doing is where the heart belongs, and knowing is what you do...... Goodness, great goodness! ”

After such a sour sentence, Li Kui immediately fell on the desk and wrote.

was so frightened that the three girls didn't dare to approach, they were afraid that Li Kui would have hysteria, and they didn't even let go of the pregnant women.

Nie Cuicui patted her chest and said as if she was frightened: "This is probably the madness of a scholar, right?" ”

This question is difficult to answer, Nie Cuicui's family was ruined when she was a child, but she also had the experience of fine clothes and food, but unfortunately she was a general, and she didn't know the mystery of reading people; Zhang Zhenniang, her father is the head of the forbidden army, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to meet the scholars. The square city where she lives is full of martial artists, and the most gentle one is Lin Chong, but unfortunately he is still a martial artist; Even his wife, Liu Qingqian, although she has seen a few scholars, is not sure whether the other scholars are like her familiar eldest brother-in-law, wearing a Confucian shirt and pretending to be a cultural person.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kui didn't even go to the yamen, such lazy behavior, no one in the officialdom was dissatisfied with Li Kui. Even the emperor waited bitterly, and from time to time asked Hao Sui, a close confidant eunuch around him: "Is Li Kui's writing possible?" ”

"I haven't heard of it! Official, do you want the slave to ask? ”

"Go, go!"

Gong Hao was ordered to leave the palace and came to the door of Baokang. Ruan Xiaowu said to Hao Sui with a bitter face: "If you don't see anyone, you won't see anyone, my young master said that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent." ”

Hao Sui was frightened and persuaded bitterly: "If it's not like this, why bother?" Wouldn't it be better to live, why seek death and life? ”

"Is there anything wrong with the people?"

Ruan Xiaowu recalled: "Except for the worsening temper, there is no change. ”

Hao Sui was shocked when he heard this, Li Kui's temper was bad enough before, but now he is even more irritable, isn't he going crazy? hurriedly returned to the palace to restore his life, and soon after, the imperial doctor who was good at treating madness in the Tai Hospital rushed over, but Ruan Xiaowu almost beat it out with a stick, and left as if he was crawling. Ruan Xiaowu was still standing on the steps at the gate, and said in a heartfelt manner: "My young master is not crazy or sick. ”

Not only Hao Sui, but even Fan Chong.

Ma Yu.

Su Song.

……

People who are a little close to Li Kui in the capital either come in person or send someone to come. However, it is unfortunate that Li Kui is working hard, and it is Ruan Xiaowu who receives them.

It's only been a few days?

is in a hurry to urge the change, and writing a book is much more difficult for Hao Sui than holding. He couldn't imagine when Li Kui would be able to write the book that everyone was looking forward to.

But he's worried!

Who let Hao Sui, Hao Gonggong is Li Kui's good buddy?

Wouldn't it be bad if Li Kui's book was written too often and disappointed the people who were waiting for it?

Speaking of which, Li Kui is just saying wild words. Back at home, looking at the classics, looking for ideas, there was no sign of mania.

But as more and more people came to inquire in the following days, he felt weak.

He can't wait to slap himself twice, can't he write secretly, he has to make a big fanfare, and now he really has to become a benevolent if he doesn't succeed.

Several times, Ruan Xiaowu sent people at the door to probe the wind, and Li Kui actually hid in the gatehouse. Whenever he heard someone praise his talent and hope to see his writings soon, he was always red-faced and ashamed. He really had the embarrassment of climbing the tree easily, but not getting down.

Until this time, his wife Liu Qingqian also saw that Li Kui was boasting about Haikou, but he was afraid of losing face.

couldn't help but persuade: "Husband, it's not a matter for you to hide and not see people like this, can't you learn from Sima Junshi, dig a pit and throw yourself into the ground, and stay for more than ten years, right?" ”

Li Kui touched his cheek and said strangely: "You can also see it, is it obvious?" ”

Li Kui is a face-saving person, one or two sentences are shocking, and he has it in his stomach. But the problem is that it is almost impossible for him to write a long exposition and write a masterpiece of the emperor. Don't even think about it for at least twenty years. This has to be studied hard every day.

I finally put together a few decent articles.

Li Kui was determined to find someone who had a good mouth and a high enough level to see.

Su Zhe forgot it, this one was not in his consideration. The main reason is that Su Zhe not only didn't expect him to write a huge work to suppress Ercheng, but sent his youngest son to reprimand him. Although the person who was reprimanded was Ruan Xiaowu, Li Kui was in the ear room at the time, and he listened to it so well that he didn't drop a word. hated it, he immediately took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote down the years, months and days......

Ma Yu?

This guy lives in the Luguo Mansion, it's inconvenient for him to go, there are many people, if the writing is not good, wouldn't he have to disperse?

Fan Chong?

Alright, that's it.

In the dark alley, a young man walked crookedly and sang stupidly: "How can my generation be a Penghao person, looking up to the sky and laughing and going out...... ...... vomit"

Immediately lay down at the base of the wall and vomited.

He didn't even notice that there was an open sack behind him, and he was approaching one step at a time. He only felt that his head was suddenly covered by something, which made him nervous.

But his mouth was also blocked by rags, and he couldn't even shout.

As the car walked along, it heard the sound of crossing the bridge and the alley of the tiles, and just as he was thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped, and felt as if he had been carried into a mansion.

Finally, he heard someone talking, and he was so frightened that he was about to pee out.

When the fresh air came from the mouth of the sack, and the confinement in the mouth was completely untied, Fan Chong exclaimed: "A good man spares his life!" ”

Li Kui looked at Ruan Xiaowu strangely, and he said in his heart that let him secretly, don't let people know, and invite Fan Chong and Master Fan to come. I didn't expect it to be such a request.

It's a pity that the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.

Li Kui also admitted it. Immediately pressed his throat and said, "Brother Fan, it's me, Li Kui." ”

"Renjie, what are you doing here?"

Fan Chong just wanted to speak, but immediately exclaimed: "Send me to the toilet, I'm coming out, I can't hold it back!" ”

The literati of the Great Song Dynasty drank well, drinking low-alcohol water wine, and if it was inconvenient to go to the toilet, it was easy to hold back. Fan Chong is like this, he can not pee in the car is already very good.

finally relaxed his body, Fan Chong complained: "Renjie, what are you doing!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly bowed down and confessed: "Master Fan, it's the villain who makes the claim. Please also condemn your sin. ”

Fan Chong raised his eyes and saw clearly that it was Ruan Xiaowu, and said angrily: "You kid is stunned enough, where can you invite someone to ask for such a law." But you're a little better than your brother, and your brother is even more stunned, and I have to thank you for not giving me a stick on the back of the head. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Li Kui waved his hand to let Ruan Xiaowu leave, took out several excerpts with a nervous face, and said to Fan Chong shyly: "Please also ask Brother Fan to teach!" ”

"Don't dare to be a ...... to teach" Fan was stunned, and then asked Li Kui with a straight face: "Renjie, has it been written?" ”

"Clumsy, clumsy!" Li Kui sneered, since he met Li Kui, Fan Chong had never seen Li Kui so empty-hearted.

He really took great pains to straighten out his clothes, and asked people to bring ice water and put it on his face to calm himself down, and then he began to read.

It can be said that these articles are more painful than Li Kui's participation in the examination. This is the most troublesome time he has been studying in the past few years. If it's an ordinary opponent, he's not worth it. As long as the discussion is sufficient, the entry is novel enough to be amazing. But the opponent is Ercheng, this is not an ordinary person. Li Kui has also studied all Ercheng's articles during these days, and the more he reads, the more bottomless he feels; The deeper you go, the more empty your heart becomes. This is a famous figure in history, a genius who impresses the world with many well-educated people.

Can he do it?

Suddenly, Fan Chong burst out laughing, so frightened that the flesh on Li Kui's face trembled. Then he shouted: "Seconds, ah! Wonderful. Renjie, I really didn't misread you. According to what you said, knowing before is the heart; Walking last, it is the seal of the heart. This method can solve all things in the world. ”

Li Kui carefully identified Fan Chongren's appearance, and said vigilantly: "Brother Fan didn't say drunken words? ”

"It's not!"

"You just drank."

Although Li Kui kept his mouth shut and didn't say that he tied up Fan Chong, Fan Chong did not leave the Li family for three whole days.

When Ma Yu was invited, he got the same explanation. After that, he secretly took advantage of the darkness to go to Old Man Su Song's house.

After coming back, Li Kui's confidence was greatly boosted, and he instructed Ruan Xiaowu: "Let the best bookstore in the capital print 500 copies, no, our family is not short of money, and directly print 50,000 copies." I want to let the literate people in the capital have a copy of my Li Daguanren's pioneering work! ”

Even if his confidence was restored, Li Kui gave up the debate with Luo Xue's disciples, and it was likely that he would encounter an opponent who couldn't be defeated, and he would be in trouble at that time. In case he encounters Ercheng and is shameless and ends up in person, he will most likely lose very badly. Nothing else, the ink in his stomach was not as much as Cheng Yi's stomach. With this alone, Li Kui may be beaten by Cheng Yi to the point where he has no power to fight back.

In the following days, Li Kui, not only Li Kui, but even one from top to bottom of the Li Mansion, pushed a cart, ran around the city, and gave out Li Kui's writings when he met people.

Li Kui has also received numerous accolades.

It's as if his genius has finally been discovered.

It's a pity that Li Kui still didn't dare to be completely relieved, because Su Zhe didn't praise him. It's not that Su Zhe is stingy, but Li Kui can't touch Su Zhe at all these days.

Li Kui also sent the book to Su Shi through the post station, because it was too far away, I am afraid that Su Shi would not have seen it or not, and he could not evaluate the quality of it. Only when even Su Shi approved that Li Kui wrote a book this time could it be considered a success. But even if he won Su Shi's approval, Li Kui made up his mind that he would not write a book in his life, it was too embarrassing, and he lost more than ten pounds. The printed book is light and fluttering, not even a pound, which is too cost-effective. In particular, inner anxiety can drive people crazy.

On this day, it will be late.

On the street of the capital, there was an old man living with a cane, followed by a dozen young scholars. The old man walked very fast, running like flying, but there were no roots under his feet, and his ankles were soft, and from behind, it seemed that he was a bit of a rolling and crawling. The group rushed to the door of a large mansion and stopped.

Behind him, a young gentleman stepped forward and called for the door.

Not long after, Xing Shu, the owner of the house, rushed to the door from the house, opened the middle door and respectfully walked down the steps, saying, "Why did Mr. Second come in the dust? ”

"If Wenda doesn't say it, won't the old man suffer this injustice?" Cheng Yi looked tired, and his face was very bad.

Xing Shu had a bitter face, so he had no choice but to welcome the person into the door. After the guests were seated, the old man asked He Xing Shu: "Is there any news about Li Kui recently?" ”

"Mr. Hui Er, recently Li Kui printed a book called "Biography of Xi Lu", which was sent all over the streets of Beijing. Nowadays, many huts have this book. There were a lot of jokes. ”

"Have you seen it?"

"The disciple hasn't yet." Speaking of this, Xing Shu was a little embarrassed, and immediately remedied: "However, you should be able to find a few copies at home." ”

Xing Shu said that Li Kui had printed 50,000 copies of "Biography", and he immediately laughed out of breath. He even used to laugh at his own stupidity because he was worried. Readers print books, where is there such an unbounded practice. Even Su Shi, a master of the literary world, did not dare to print more than a thousand anthologies. Gifts between relatives and friends cannot give one or two hundred. But Li Kui was good, printed 50,000 copies in one go, and sent them all over the street. This is not a reckless man, what else can it be? He can't do it, Li Kui can spend a month to write a book that destroys the decades of hard work of the two gentlemen of Ercheng?

It's just that he is flattering the emperor these days, so he has cultivated the Taoist scriptures, and he didn't have time to read Li Kui's book. It's just that Xing Shu has already decided that Li Kui is just smiling and generous. When the day was free, Xing Shu pondered that he would also ponder Li Kui's book and find an opportunity to fight back.

It's just that it's best not to mess with Li Kui recently, after all, he was backstabbed first, in case Li Kui was annoyed and embarrassed and made a move with him, he was a weak scholar and an old man, but he couldn't beat a reckless man like Li Kui.

However, Xing Shu didn't take it seriously at all. If it is a good book, how can a hut use this book instead of leaves and toilet chips?

After a while, Xing Shu really found three copies of "Biography".

Li Kui's book, compared with the real "Biography", is simply thin. Fortunately, in this era, no one has ever seen a real book.

Xing Shu and Cheng Yi each picked up a copy and flipped through it.

The other disciples read a book together, and they all got together.

Within a few pages, Xing Shu's face became ugly. He really just thought that Li Kui would come up with four verses to humiliate him, but he didn't think that Li Kui would be ruthless and really start writing a book. The literati who can do this, isn't that an article that has taken countless time and time to deliberate? To be able to write a book with far-reaching intentions in a month, or to echo the interpretation of the words of the current sages, is simply a fool's dream.

But in just a few lines, Xing Shu felt a huge blow, how could such a huge work be reduced to a thatched house for toileting? My Great Song has really fallen to this?

The moment Cheng Yi stood up, his tough body staggered two steps, and he felt infinite suppression. Li Kui's argument seems to have been born to bully science, Cheng Yi is full of dissatisfaction, and he can't find a good way to refute it. Just like after Socrates and Plato, the Western philosophical community for 2,000 years has simply allowed religion to distort too many ideas. Until the advent of Descartes, who established his position as the father of modern philosophy with one sentence - I think, therefore I am!

And Wang Shouren also uses four words, highlighting his unshakable status since Confucius and Mencius - the unity of action and knowledge!

As for the other great Confucian Xunzi after Mencius, because he is not only Confucianism, but also a collection of law, a master of Taoism, his knowledge is too good, but he is not valued by Confucianism.

The status of the rivers and lakes has been divided, and if you continue to fight, will you definitely be able to win?

Cheng Yi said sadly: "The Great Song Dynasty is going to be a saint!" ”
