In his last life, when Xia Yuan visited the Forbidden City, he did not go to the Qianqing Palace, although he was not allowed to visit, but he looked through the guardrail, a bright plaque, one side of the Dan Majesty, and a dragon chair was placed on the Dan Majesty.

You can basically see these things.

And now when I came in, I found that there was no cave in it, but there was also a plaque, but it was not written with the words Zhengda Guangming, but the ancestor of the heavens.

There are incense burners on both sides of His Majesty, and he didn't see what style he had, after all, he only had time to sweep it from the time he entered the hall, and then he was introduced to the Dongnuan Pavilion by the eunuchs.

Seeing the figure sitting behind the imperial case, Xia Yuan didn't look closely, straightened his clothes, and adjusted his expression again, making himself look very serious and serious, this is called first rectification and then solemnity, and then solemn and then bowing, what else is there to salute, it is very complicated.

Reciting the details of the etiquette of Xiao Jing's advice in his heart, Xia Yuan raised his hands in front of his forehead and bowed in a proper manner, "Student Xia Yuan greets Your Majesty and respectfully invites my emperor Sheng'an." ”

"I'm bowing down, I'm not courteous."

After a few seconds, a very gentle voice sounded in the hall, and Xia Yuan also straightened up, and then he hesitated for a moment, but he still had the courage to observe Emperor Hongzhi behind the imperial case.

I saw that he was wearing an ochre-yellow robe with a round neck, embroidered with dragon patterns, and a black lacquered wing crown on his head.

He looks like he is in his thirties, with a beard on his chin, and his facial features are upright, perhaps because he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, his skin is very white, much whiter than Zhu Houzhao's kid, but the white is not bloody, like a sickly pale, and at this time, the expression on his face also looks very gentle and friendly.

Well, a handsome middle-aged uncle with a lot of affinity.

Xia Yuan secretly came to a conclusion, and speculated wantonly in his heart that even if Zhu Youzhu was not the emperor, with this middle-aged and white face, it was estimated that he could provoke many rich women.

"I've been staring at me, but what's on my face?"

"No, no, students just want to... Uh, look at the holy face, yes, look at the holy face. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand to touch his face, and asked with a smile: "Then can I satisfy you with this holy face?" ”

Tsk, that's a question.

Xia Yuan inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu on a blind date, he pondered for a while, and felt that the answer was satisfactory or dissatisfied, it seemed a little awkward.

After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, it's not a secret, the student has also talked to his wife about His Majesty at home before, and my wife said that the emperor must be very good..."

"Looks amazing?" Zhu Youzhu is a little flustered, what kind of description is this?

If he had changed the pronunciation, maybe he would have understood.

"Yes, that's what she said, Xu is that she thinks that the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, so his appearance will naturally be very powerful."

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan had a wry smile on his face, "This student's wife has never read any books, she doesn't understand many things, and her temperament is still a little tough.

Therefore, when it was time to get into the carriage, the student told her, "Now I will enter the palace to see the emperor, and when I come back, I will tell you what the emperor is like." ”

Zhu Youjiao's face showed a look of interest, "Then how are you going to describe my appearance to her when you go back?" ”

"When the student went back, he told her that the emperor was not very good-looking, but very kind, just like an elder in the family."

"Elders in the family?"

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head and said: "That's right, I'm more than ten years older than you, and it's okay for you to treat me as an adult, so that it can also make the chat between you and me lighter." ”

"Then I wonder what Your Majesty wants to talk about when he summons students into the palace this time?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youjiao's expression became much more positive, and then he picked up a stack of articles on the imperial case and walked down, and when he walked to Xia Yuan's side, he handed over those articles, "Qing take a look at these articles first." ”

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately recognized that this was Wang Shouren's handwriting, and then read it down, and soon saw that this was a summary of the exposition of the study of mind, and looked at the rest of the articles, there is no doubt that they are all systematic expositions of the study of mind.

Has this guy felt all this?

More than half of the mind of the complete body has been comprehended by him, right?

"Can you recognize who wrote this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I recognized it, it was Wang Shouren."

"Then he taught him all this knowledge?"

"Back to Your Majesty, no."

“？”

Zhu Youzhu was obviously stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you his teacher?"

“... Sort of. ”

“.......”

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him a little wordlessly for a while, consciously guessed the reason, and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, I don't want to treat anyone's sins with these knowledge, Qingda can admit it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Yuan thanked him first, and then shook his head, "But it's really not taught by students." ”

"Oh? Who taught that? ”

"He realized it himself."

"Yes..... That's it. ”

Obviously, Zhu Youzhu was not ready to debate this anymore, and then said: "No matter where this knowledge comes from, I will directly tell you the reason for summoning you to the palace this time." ”

He paced in the hall, pondering the words and slowly spoke: "Since Taizu established the Ding Dynasty, the imperial examination has been set up and educationalized, and since then the imperial examination has always been based on Cheng Zhu, and the unity of knowledge and action, the heart is reasonable, these learnings are contrary to the way of Cheng Zhu, you must also know this, right?" ”

"Students know."

Xia Yuan nodded, he was also a scholar in his life, Cheng Zhu who studied, Confucius and Mencius who fought, the four books and five classics in his head, and the annotations of chapters and sentences, he didn't dare to say how profound his views on science were, at least above the horizontal line.

In his view, the science of mind and science are not only contradictory, but also completely subvert the science of science.

You must know that the essence of science is the study of righteousness.

Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires.

What is important is that reason is above all else.

In other words, if people want to make a career and realize their self-worth, they must restrain or even eliminate their desires, and take reason as the starting point.

On the other hand, science emphasizes the opposition between heavenly principles and human desires.

Since the human heart is the principle of heaven, and the desire of man is the way of heaven, why should he restrain his inner desires?

"Someone gave me two suggestions, one is to abolish Cheng Zhu and establish a new school, and the other is to abolish a new school, and the imperial examination of the national dynasty will still be based on Cheng Zhu."

"Which one do you think I should adopt?"

Note: [Qing was originally an honorific title for men in ancient times, and it was not used only when the emperor called a minister. 】
