"At the beginning of man, nature is good ......"

Lu Tixue read it carefully, nodded his head in agreement from time to time, and finally said: "This Mongolian text is indeed excellent, which is conducive to children's learning, but it cannot be called a scripture, and it should be renamed "Three Character Text". ”

Zhu Ming didn't care about this, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the name." ”

Lu Tixue smiled and bowed: "Li Tong judged that you have penetrated the Three Classics, and I will test you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the twenty Xixiang County scholars who accompanied them all set their eyes on Zhu Ming. There are doubts, there are disdain, there are jealousy...... All kinds of emotions, and so on.

Penetrating the Three Classics, it is not something that can be said casually!

A teenager who has gone through the Three Classics can basically conclude that he is bragging.

Lu Tixue said to Professor Qian and the scholars: "If I ask questions, you can also answer them." ”

"Please give me advice!"

The crowd bowed.

Lu Tixue stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of him: "What is the Tao?" What is a predicator? ”

A scholar surnamed Yu replied: "The metaphysical is the way, and the metaphysical is the instrument." ”

Before the man could finish speaking, the rest of the scholars were already remorseful.

I regret that I was too slow to react and missed the opportunity to perform. This is the original sentence in "Yi Chuan", and it is very famous, even if you don't treat "Zhou Yi", you can answer it.

Lu Tixue looked at Zhu Ming: "What do you think of success?" ”

Zhu Ming understood what the other party meant, in the past, Bai Chongwen, Li Hanzhang, and Xiang Zhixian were all based on the content of the imperial examination, just to let Zhu Ming explain the scriptures.

Lu Tixue in front of him has already skipped the height of the imperial examination and wants to talk to Zhu Ming directly about theory.

Zhu Ming replied: "The Tao is reason, and the instrument is the matter." ”

This answer is similar to that of the scholar surnamed Yu, but it is more specific.

Lu Tixue asked again: "What is the purpose of the Taoist weapon?" ”

"Dao body equipment!"

"The Tao is the same."

"The Tao is also the instrument, and the instrument is also the Tao."

“……”

The entourage rushed to answer, and this time they had to seize the opportunity, and they were all talking about the mainstream views that were big and empty.

Zhu Ming thought carefully and didn't speak, he was guessing Lu Tixue's thoughts.

Candidates who are good at reading comprehension know that only by understanding the intention of the questioner can they get infinitely close to the standard answer.

Lu Tixue asked Zhu Ming: "Why don't you say it?" ”

Contacting Lu Tixue's words and deeds before, the other party seemed to respect miscellaneous studies, and Zhu Ming gave the answer: "The instrument is revealed." ”

Lu Tixue was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it seriously, he actually laughed happily: "What a good curator is revealed, and he is really a person in my generation!" ”

Not only is this the standard answer, but it is beyond the expectations of the person who wrote the question.

"Governing the Instrument and Manifesting the Dao" is the idea of the Southern Song Dynasty Shigong School, when the imperial court experienced a series of fiascos, and many scholars began to reflect. Therefore, it is proposed to apply what he has learned, and the pursuit of learning is to make the country rich and the people strong, abandon those false and empty truths, and seek truth from facts to be a man and do things. They advocate equal emphasis on agriculture and commerce, both righteousness and profit, and the use of kings and tyrants.

The environment in which the Southern Song Dynasty Shigong School was born, and the content they advocated, were exactly the same as those of the Shixue School in the late Ming Dynasty. It's all about the weakening of the country, abandoning rhetoric and pursuing practicality.

Of course, Lu Tixue is not a merit school, but he admires miscellaneous studies and can match each other.

Seeing that he was scratching the itch of Lu Tixue, Zhu Ming took advantage of the victory to chase and said: "The one who surrounds the universe is nothing more than things, and there is nothing more than anything between daily use. ”

Lu Tixue tasted this sentence carefully, and actually felt like a confidant, and at the same time a little jealous: I thought the same way, why didn't I summarize it?

This sentence comes from the words of Chen Liang in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Xi and Chen Liang are good friends, and they both belong to the fanatical main battle faction, but their academic ideas are incompatible. They all tried to persuade each other, but they couldn't do anything about each other, so they almost relied on a fight to win or lose.

"Success, come forward!"

Lu Tixue was happy to see Hunting, completely ignored others, and asked Zhu Ming to move forward with him.

After walking for a while, the ridge is slightly wider, and there is a mulberry tree.

Lu Tixue didn't dislike that the ground was dirty, sat under the mulberry tree, and beckoned: "Come and sit." ”

So, Zhu Ming also got up freely and sat down next to Lu Tixue.

Such a situation made the entourage crazy with jealousy, and he wanted to kick Zhu Ming to replace him.

Who made them not to review the question? As soon as my brain was hot, I began to rush to answer.

To cope with this kind of examination, it does not matter whether the answer is correct or not, the main thing is to see whether the questioner likes it or not.

"Bring the wine!" Lu Tixue shouted.

The two soap officials hurriedly stepped forward, set up the wine cup and poured it for the two of them, and sprinkled the ground with silk cloth with preserved fruits.

Lu Tixue chewed the preserved fruit and took a sip, and then asked: "What Ercheng said, 'Preserve heavenly principles and destroy people's desires', how do you think about success?" ”

"The truth is good, and there is no blame," Zhu Ming said, "Eat enough and dress warmly, marry a wife and have children, and the truth is right." Overeating, concubines are in groups, and human desires are also. It should be the reason of heaven and the desire of people to be destroyed. ”

Lu Tixue was unhappy: "How can human desires be extinguished?" ”

Zhu Ming smiled and said: "So the truth is right, and we should persuade the world like this." But in practice, you can only abide by it yourself, and you can't force it on others. There are even hypocritical people who treat others strictly, lenient with themselves, and only let others destroy other people's desires, but their own human desires are not refused. ”

"Well said, there are such hypocrites," Lu Tixue said, holding up the wine cup, "Come, drink!" ”

Zhu Ming said again: "It's about temperament. Sex is undeveloped affection, and affection is the sex that has been made. Everyone has evil thoughts and vicious thoughts, and if you can control them, you are a gentleman. Joy, anger, sorrow, love and hatred, those who gain their righteousness are the way, and those who lose their righteousness are desires. ”

Lu Tixue felt strange, what Zhu Ming said was the same as what he thought, and he was able to explain it accurately.

It's very simple, what Zhu Ming just said is a combination of Zhu Xi and Chen Liang. The thoughts of the two Southern Song Dynasty Confucians, how could they not crush Lu Tixue?

Lu Tixue seemed to hate Taoism very much, drank another bowl of wine, and continued to criticize: "Gewu Zhizhi, Ercheng is also wrong, what kind of numerology is it." Since it is a thing, it is necessary to do things, things and things, how can you do things without doing things? ”

Zhu Ming deliberately followed the other party's mind and said, "Yes." To learn from things, we should lead by things and seek the way from things. ”

"It's a good example to lead by things and seek the way of fate," Lu Tixue liked it, raised the wine cup and said, "Let's drink another bowl!" ”

Zhu Ming smiled and clinked glasses, he had already figured out the number of ways to mention the envoy.

At present, the official mainstream thought is Wang Anshi's new learning, which was promoted by Cai Jing and later inherited by Qin Hui. Xinxue was finally abandoned, and it was inseparable from Cai Jing and Qin Hui.

At the same time, although Taoism was suppressed, its influence among the people was very great.

However, Lu Tixue has a slight "meritocracy" ideology, which has nothing to do with Xinxue and Taoism. He was able to be a scholar envoy, which was nothing more than closer to Xinxue, and he was a mortal enemy of Taoism, so he was promoted by Cai Jing.

The Shigong School has not been formed at all, and there are only scattered such scholars. Lu Tixue was depressed, he usually couldn't find anyone to communicate with, and he wanted to do things seriously but was constrained, so he simply traveled all day long.

Today, Zhu Ming's brainwaves actually caught up with him!

Confidant, absolute confidant!

But where is there any confidant?

Seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts.

Anyone from any school of thought comes over, as long as his identity is a scholar, Zhu Ming can face the brain waves.

Under the mulberry tree, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became.

While drinking, he talked about it.

Officials, scholars, squires, peasants...... They all stood stupidly and looked at them like that.

Even Xiang Zhixian, a member of the second department, had no room to interject.

Xiang Zhixian's knowledge is not enough, although he can understand it, but the topic can't be continued, and it is a joke to speak indiscriminately.

The main thing is that the content of the conversation between Zhu Ming and Lu Tixue is very different from the mainstream thought, and Xiang Zhixian still thinks it is the unique opinion of which school.

Professor Qian asked in a low voice, "Brother Weitian, what is the origin of this Zhu Chenggong?" What he said to Lu Tixue does not seem to be in line with the right path. ”

Xiang Zhixian didn't understand it, but he pretended to understand it very well: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been countless sects of doctrine, where did they come from?" Lu Tixue is not only the ancestor of Mr. Anding, but also the branch of the righteous path. ”

As the head of the county school, Professor Qian is also from a jinshi - the county school does not have high requirements, only the principal must be a jinshi, and ordinary teachers can hire people.

Professor Qian pondered carefully, nodded and said, "But I am lonely and unheard, but I didn't expect this Zhu Chenggong to be able to answer like a stream." ”

After a long time, Bai Zongwang felt that his pig should have been killed, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Lu Tixue, it's not too early, please move to my house and talk about it again?" ”

"Noise!"

Lu Tixue was very unhappy when he was interrupted to communicate, but he also got up and said, "Let's talk tomorrow, I'll cook pork first, and then you can try the craftsmanship." ”

On the road, Dongpo meat can not be forgotten.

The envoy was surrounded by people to go to Bai's house, and actually went straight to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and began to cut meat.

And the movements are extremely sharp, the knife work is like a New Oriental graduate, as if majoring in a cooking course.

The county scholars could only stand and look stupidly, with mixed feelings in their hearts. How can the envoy who is in charge of the education work on Lizhou Road be like this?

Shouldn't you behave elegantly and look serious along the way?

I'm afraid this is a fake student!

Zhu Guoxiang finally had the opportunity to communicate with his son: "What is the situation with this person?" ”

Zhu Ming said in a low voice: "Now the mainstream schools are Xinxue, Luoxue and Shuxue, he is not any school, but he is close to Xinxue in doing things, and being a person is close to Shuxue." I guess I can't find anyone to communicate with, so I did what he liked, and the chat made him happy. I guess I'll continue to talk about it tomorrow, but today I only talked about the general direction, and I haven't said anything about the details. ”

"Thinking in harmony is more advanced than gift-giving. As soon as this leader is happy, things will definitely be done. Zhu Guoxiang said.

Zhu Ming sneered: "I'm afraid that if we talk for a few more days, he will introduce me as a confidant." Dean Zhu, you can also join in, this person's thinking is very ...... Well, modern. ”

"Modern?" Zhu Guoxiang didn't understand.

Zhu Ming said: "He doesn't pay attention to etiquette, only pursues practicality. If the Confucian scholars of this school continue to evolve, they will even give birth to the idea of 'non-Kong'. It can be simply understood that they belong to the predecessors of Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi, but they are limited to the background of the times and personal qualifications, and they have not done so much in their studies. You just have to talk to him about agronomy and he's sure to like it. ”

Zhu Guoxiang looked at Lu Tixue, who was cutting meat, nodded and said, "Then let's wait to eat meat." ”
