After asking a few questions, Wang Jiuyuan also secretly sighed, the scholar in front of him is indeed not ordinary, and he already has his own opinions on Confucianism, although these opinions are shallow, but at least it shows that he is thinking hard, which is very different from those scholars who only know how to read books.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Yunsheng, why are you literate in reading?"

Ordinary scholars, hearing this question, probably will not hesitate at all, and most of the answers are self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world.

Chang Jin knew that Mr. Ya Ya was very human, so he naturally didn't want to prevaricate with those general remarks, so he immediately pointed to his heart and explained his confusion: "Today's reading and literacy is only for the imperial examination." As for the future, students don't know!"

"Oh?" this answer was indeed unexpected by Wang Jiuyuan. It was the first time he encountered such a frank answer, and after a pause, he asked again: "After winning the imperial examination and stepping into the official career, why are you an official?"

"Let the people under his rule be fed and clothed"

"That's governing the country and leveling the world?"

"It's not about governing the country and leveling the world," Chang Jin shook his head and said. My own ideas are similar to governing the country, but they are not. The thought was vague in his mind, and he didn't know how to answer it in words.

In the final analysis, it is the reason why my own knowledge has not reached the realm, and I can't summarize the thoughts in my heart.

"Well, then, I know that you are confused in your heart...... I was there back then. Wang Jiuyuan stroked his beard with a smile and said loudly: "The confusion in your heart is only three words: 'What is Confucianism?'"

Chang Jin's heart was shocked, and since the beginning of the crossing, he had been thinking about this question in his mind. He also read the "Book of Words" compiled by the previous dynasty, and the explanation on it is very clear: "Confucianism, Rouye, the name of the warlock." ”

Before the sages, Confucianism was just a general term for a learned class. When the saint was born, the definition of Confucianism became concrete. Only scholars who learn the words of the sages and follow the teachings of the sages can be called Confucians.

If in the era when Taoism has not yet been revealed, the sentence "self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world" can summarize Confucianism.

But now in this situation, Taoism is growing stronger and stronger, and the supernatural powers are manifested, and Confucianism is talking about "governing the country and leveling the world" behind closed doors, which is a bit too much to do.

In fact, this question is not only thinking about myself, I believe that many Confucians are thinking about it.

Chang Jin came to the door this time, just to relieve the doubt in his heart: "I don't know if Mr. can relieve ...... doubts"

"You're here just in time, that's what I've been thinking about lately, let's see how I feel. After Wang Jiuyuan finished speaking, he got up and took out a stack of manuscripts from the desk next to him.

Chang Jin took it respectfully, and saw that the paper was full of square italics, and he flipped through them one by one, sighing with emotion.

"The four directions are said to be the universe, and the universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe. There are saints in the East China Sea, and this heart is the same, and this reason is the same. There are saints in the West Sea, and this heart is the same, and this reason is the same. Thousands of generations above and thousands of generations below, there are saints who have come out, and this heart and reason are no different......"

After reading a stack of manuscripts, Chang Jin whispered: "Confucianism is based on his own heart, the heart is the reason, and the Tao is in the heart. ”

This is very different from the explanation of Confucianism in the four books, but it has a bit of Zen. Confucianism follows the heart and does not have to "learn the words of the sages and follow the teachings of the sages".

Although it was unrelated, he still remembered a four-sentence poem made by Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of the earth: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust." ”

Master Huineng's four verses are intended to illustrate that all the Dharma is like a dream bubble, teaching people not to be delusional and attached, so that they can see their minds and prove themselves Bodhi.

Mr. Ya's learning has found another way for Confucianism, and he doesn't know whether this path is correct, but he admires it in his heart.

Only such a character can make innovative moves.

"How?" Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time after reading the stack of manuscripts, Wang Jiuyuan asked.

"Mr.'s learning is unique and strategic, which is refreshing and admirable. It's just ......" Speaking of this, Chang Jin pondered slightly.

"Yun Sheng, but it's okay to say" Wang Jiuyuan waved his hand disappreciatively, he really wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

"Confucianism takes the heart as the heart, the heart is the reason, and the Tao is in the heart. Chang Jin re-read the programmatic words extracted from the book, and then organized the words: "If I understand correctly, Mr.'s method of learning is mainly 'clear heart', and there is no need to read more books and seek foreign knowledge, and do not stick to the form, so what he said is 'learn to know the book, and the six classics are my footnotes'." It's just that the people of the world are ignorant, and it is not easy to seek reason and seek the Tao with their own hearts, and they must be supported by art......"

Chang Jin said his thoughts in one go, and the meaning he wanted to express was very simple. The set of Confucian doctrines mentioned by Mr. Ganya is very innovative, but it has not yet reached the state of consummation, and there are still many flaws in the middle. Seek reason and seek the Tao with your heart. It is easy to seek reason, but it is difficult to seek the truth, and there is still a big gully in between, and Mr. Cliff does not integrate them together.

What Yunsheng said is that this book is the result of the old man's thinking in recent years, and it has not reached the realm of Yuantong. Now that he has been dismissed from office, he has free time, and the old man will spend years perfecting it, exhausting his reasoning and proving his way. Yunsheng would like to help the old man?" After speaking, Wang Jiuyuan looked at him eagerly.

The meaning of the last sentence is obvious, I want to accept Chang Jin as a disciple.

Being able to become Wang Jiuyuan's disciple is estimated to be something that many scholars dream of.

Chang Jin could feel the expectation contained in the other party's gaze, but he quickly shook his head very firmly: "Thank you Mr. Cliff for your attention, it's just that the juniors have a lot of things that they can't give up." ”

He was not prevaricating, he had talked to Hu Dahai of the Qingqiu clan before, and the other party had said that the Great Yan Dynasty was about to overthrow, although Chang Jin could not see the chaos, but he also believed it a little in his heart.

In such a troubled world, it is not a good time to do research behind closed doors at all. He is not a great Confucian who has seen through the world, how can he observe the changes in the world in the study.

Chang Jin was originally not from this world, but from the later generations of the earth, although he inherited the identity of a scholar, but for Confucianism, he was half an outsider. Because of this, Chang Jin's views on Confucianism are different from those of many scholars.

Whether in this world or on the earth in the previous life, Confucianism has always been a lame general, emphasizing literature over martial arts, or emphasizing Taoism over art. There is no Taoism on the earth, so the defects of Confucianism are not obvious, so that it survives for thousands of years, and was finally broken by strong ships and cannons.

This world is different, the Tao is holy, and demons and monsters are rampant. Confucianism only has the study of governing the country but does not have the technique of self-preservation, and its decline is inevitable.

Although Mr. Cliff's doctrine is very novel, if it can't be integrated into it, it will definitely follow the old path of his predecessors and enter a dead end.

As far as Chang Jin's memory knows, the same is true of the context of the Earth's Confucianism Exhibition. Countless scholars were looking for a new way out, so much so that in the end, there were hundreds of Confucian schools, large and small. However, these schools have always been looking for themselves in the trap, and they have not jumped out of Confucianism to look at themselves. And in the end, they attack each other and completely wear themselves out.

These words were too shocking, so Chang Jin pressed them in his heart and didn't say them.

"It's a pity," Wang Jiuyuan sighed regretfully. After a conversation just now, he could already see that although Chang Jin admired his doctrine, he did not fully agree with it. And this person's temperament, like himself, is a resolute and decisive person, and once he has determined his thoughts, he will not change them.

So he didn't say anything to persuade him, but just chatted with the other party, and before he knew it, it was already noon.

Wang Jiuyuan talked about his strong sex, so he ordered the old servant to keep food.

Chang Jin did not shirk, and with a handful of food, he stepped on the snow and returned to the city. Come with joy and return with fun.

Seeing this person's figure disappear in the wind and snow, Wang Jiuyuan stood outside the post gate and sighed again.

"Why is the old man sighing? is it the scholar......" Seeing that the master's face was full of silence, the old servant asked tentatively.

This is one of them, I sigh, or because my doctrine has many flaws and is therefore not convincing. Next, I'm afraid I have to study more Taoist scriptures and the words of the Buddha, hoping to gain something. ”

"Master, do you want to cultivate or become a monk? When the old servant heard this, he hurriedly stopped him. Nowadays, although it is the manifestation of Taoism, orthodox Confucian scholars disdain the two doctrines of Taoism and Buddhism, and denounce them as heresies. If the old man let others know about his thoughts like this, it will definitely damage his reputation.

"Hehe, a thousand years ago, Sage Dong 'deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism', and after thousands of years, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have not become extinct, which shows that the two doctrines may not be without merit.

The study of sages must have an all-encompassing and inclusive heart. If I can integrate Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, remove the false and retain the essence, and use it for my own use, I am afraid that it can be regarded as complete. In the end, Wang Jiuyuan showed a confident expression again.
