"The heart is reason...."

When Wang Shouren heard these three words, it was as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and it was as if a big bell was ringing in his head, and endless confusion flashed in his eyes.

The heart is reason?

It turned out to be so simple....

In a trance, he seemed to see himself who squatted next to the bamboo for seven days for seven days and finally fell ill.

It's as if I saw the self who meditated hard every day in order to find out what reason is.

Where's the reason?

What is the reason?

These questions seem to have been answered at this moment, and the way of the sages of heaven and earth does not exist in all things, nor does it need to exist in all things.

Reason is not in bamboo, and it cannot be stored in bamboo, reason is only in the heart.

Heaven and man are one, heaven and man are one, reason is the way of heaven, why can't it be people's hearts?

Move with your heart, do it at will, and your heart is reason.

Zhu Fuzi said that he was rational and went to human desire.

Definitely!

Why do you need to keep heavenly reasons and go away to human desires.

Heavenly reason is human desire!

"Hahaha......"

After thinking about this, Wang Shouren laughed out loud without warning, and his eyes were wet with a smile.

Wu Dongjia and Chen shopkeeper looked at each other next to each other, what happened?

Just because he heard these three simple words, and then this person seemed to go crazy.

Xia Yuan stood next to him with a complicated face, and the Wang Great Sage at this time gave people a sense of contradiction, and his whole body was filled with an extremely strange sense of emptiness and satisfaction.

Xia Yuan can say without exaggeration that he has also had this feeling, and more than once.

Just after the hand punch.

It turned out that at that moment, I actually reached the state of a sage.

No wonder it is said that the sage time.

He felt like he had realized... Fart!

What is this, look at this man laughing like crazy.

Although Xia Yuan knew that Wang Shouren was not crazy, but he was just smiling and more pompous like last time, he still wanted to say that this was not the same as the saint I imagined.

Seven years later, Wang Yangming, because he angered the eunuch Liu Jin, was beaten by forty boards, was demoted to Longchang as a post officer, and was driven out of the capital along with his father Wang Hua.

What kind of place is Longchang, it is a real wild place, from the head of a military department to a non-mainstream official in a wild place, Liu Jin still refused to let him go, and sent killers to hunt him down.

He implicated his father, experienced life and death, experienced the ups and downs of life, and finally became the unmoving Mr. Yang Ming who listened to the thunder in a silent place and raised him.

Finally, in that place called Longchang, he was sanctified by an epiphany and became an existence that could be placed alongside Confucius and Mencius, immortal.

But now, Wang Shouren is not the Wang Sage, and he is not even Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming's three words will not be connected with him until next year, that is, the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, this year Wang Shouren's lung disease relapsed and returned to his hometown Yuyao to recuperate.

This time when he returned to his hometown, he would meditate and practice in the Yangming Cave in Huiji Mountain, practice the art of guidance, and then give himself the nickname that the future is destined to resound all over the world - Yangming.

It is now the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, Wang Shouren is not Wang Yangming, let alone Wang Shengren, he is far from being open-minded and indifferent a few years later, and he cannot handle everything calmly.

Therefore, he will vent his emotions at this moment with an almost crazy laugh, so as to declare that his years of inquiry and years of doubts have been satisfied at this moment.

After staring at Wang Shouren for a while, Xia Yuan came to the conclusion that this guy might have to laugh for a long time, so he turned to the owner and the shopkeeper and said, "Let's ignore him, count the words, and then settle the silver, I have to go back." ”

............

In an attic of the Hanlin Academy, there were dozens of people sitting here at a glance, and there was a bookcase in front of each person, and on top of the case was a sealed volume.

This is the paper of this year's Beizhili Township Examination, which has been copied and renumbered, and these officials in green robes are the marking officers.

Of course, they also have an identity, Hanlin.

In the eyes of the world, Hanlin is a dignitary in the court, once he is named Hanlin and enters the Hanlin Academy, it means that he has a great future.

But in fact, the Hanlin of the Ming Dynasty is also hierarchical, and the top-class ones such as the Shujishi and the like do have great prospects, they are the pillars of the future imperial court and the reserve of the Ming Dynasty.

And like these ordinary little Hanlin, they have a fart future, they are slow to be promoted, they have no oil and water, they are either copying or copying for a day, they can't even save their political achievements, and the hope of promotion is extremely slim.

If you are unlucky, you will be transferred to Nanjing Yingtianfu halfway through, and there will be no hope at all.

Not only that, every time they encounter the imperial examination, these Hanlin will be arrested and sit in this hall to read the candidates.

"Although it is a township test, it is also a very important matter, and there is no room for sloppiness, all of you, cheer up."

The person who spoke was an old man in his sixtieth year, sitting in the middle of the attic.

His name is Li Min, this name may not be very famous in later generations, and he even has to search for a while on the Internet, but this old man is the champion of Chenghua for 20 years, and now he is Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, who lectures for the East Palace.

At the same time, he also has another identity, the chief examiner of this year's Shuntianfu Township Examination, and he has a colleague named Wang Hua, who is also a lecturer in Donggong, and is the chief examiner of this year's Tianfu Township Examination.

After the end of the township test, Li Min personally appointed dozens of people from the Hanlin Academy as marking officers and began to mark the papers for several days.

A copy of the paper was copied by a vague name, and the examiners first read it, screened out the best papers, and finally sent it to his desk, and then he reviewed and ranked.

It's just that this year's so-called best papers are really a little few, and the examiner in previous years was the busiest person, but this year, Li Min seems to be quite idle, and he has the time to cheer others on.

Of course, he knows the reason, after all, he came up with this question this year.

"Extraphra for..."

Picking up the teacup next to him and taking a sip, Li Min looked at the papers on the case, smacked his mouth and said to himself: "It seems that this question is correct, and it has stumped a large number of students." ”

"The question is not difficult, but many students hesitate and dare not think about Mencius, so this problem is mostly deviated."

At this time, a Hanlin walked up to him, still holding a paper in his hand, "Li Yude, take a look at this exam paper, the lower official thinks it is excellent, it can be said to be the best one I have ever read." ”

"I'll see... Hmm..."

Li Min stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it word by word very carefully, and after half an hour, he had finished reading the eight-strand text of nearly a thousand words.

He put down the scroll and asked at Hanlin: "If the old man remembers correctly, this year's township test in Shuntianfu, the son of Duke Xie also participated, right?" ”

"Seems to be the case."

"Duke Xie is the champion of the eleventh year of Emperor Chenghua, and his son is naturally also a family scholar, the old man speculates that most of this volume is made by the son of Duke Xie, and it is normal for you to think it is excellent."

After that, Li Min smiled, put the file in the empty space of his case, and then continued: "Go back and read it again, if there is nothing better than this one, then point this paper as the first in this year's Shuntianfu Township Test." ”
