Imperial City, East Palace.

I don't know when Xu Fenglei has stepped down from the coaching of the princes and princesses, so naturally he doesn't run to the East Palace so often.

This is mainly because the I Ching has been taught, and the other cultural lessons are all small Doyle, and he is not interested in teaching.

Therefore, the teachers and apprentices of the East Palace have become Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and other well-educated Confucians, Xu Fenglei is so busy with the things at hand that he almost forgets that he still has so many disciples.

"Mencius Yun: Water letter is not divided into things, and it is not divided into upper and lower things? The goodness of human nature is also like water. There is nothing wrong with people, and there is nothing wrong with water. ”

Kong Yingda sat in front of the hall, his mouth like a river,

"Therefore, human nature is inherently good, and you ...... your Highnesses Do you understand everything? ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai drooped their heads, a little sleepy.

Li Lizhi even lay on the table and dozed off!

Only Li Ke was still listening, but he was also wilting.

Bang bang bang!

Kong Yingda glared, and the ring ruler in his hand twitched wildly.

"What are you doing! Why are your eyes squinting? ”

He rebuked with some anger,

"How did you sleep? Yes? At your age, when you should be diligent in school, can you sleep? ”

"When I was like you, I was hanging on my head every day, and I wouldn't stop until I memorized the book! If you don't do this, how can you do a good job in learning, how can you be full of economy?! ”

"Cheer me up! Otherwise, I'm going to hit the board! ”

He squirted saliva, which made several students excited.

And the loud voice here also attracted the three people outside the hall to speed up their pace.

"Master Kong, why did you have such a big fire?"

Li Shimin stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said with a smile,

"Are the emperors naughty again?"

Beside him, the eldest grandson Wujian was holding the sleeping Li Zhi in his arms, and his eyes also swept to several children.

Behind him, he was followed by Xu Fenglei - he was captured by the emperor.

As the crown prince and prince, how long has it been since I did my job?!

"See Your Majesty, see Niangniang, see Taishi."

Kong Yingda stepped forward and saluted.

"See Father, Emperor, Mother, Master."

The four children also saluted respectfully.

"No courtesy, no courtesy."

When they saw the master coming, they immediately came to their senses and began to winkle their eyebrows.

Xu Fenglei also made a grimace and interacted with them in the air.

Seeing this scene, Kong Yingda frowned, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Shimin raised his hand with a smile and said,

"If I have nothing to do for a while, I will come to the East Palace to take a stroll and see the prince's homework."

"I'll see where this goes."

He stepped forward and picked up Kong Yingda's manuscript from the table.

"Mencius" ah......"

Li Er looked at it casually, pointing at Li Chengqian and a few people,

"The Theory of Human Nature? Come on, come on, you just took the class, summarize and summarize? ”

Four children: "......"

Most afraid, the air is suddenly quiet.

"Say!"

Kong Yingda sweated on his forehead and said nervously,

"Didn't I teach you all just now, sir! Give Your Majesty a rough explanation......"

Li Chengqian blinked.

Li Tai began to dig into his pocket to find food.

Li Lizhi is even more innocent.

Only Li Ke looked a little difficult and hesitant.

Anyway, there are four people, and none of them speak!

Kong Yingda:"#¥%......&*@#!! ”

I mean! It's really convincing these big brothers!

"Can't you say any of them?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked in a cold voice,

"How do you read your books?!"

He was a little angry.

"Back to my father."

Li Ke saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he stepped forward and said,

"Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, just like the downward nature of water, which is the law of nature."

"Each of us is born good."

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression softened slightly.

"That's a good point."

He commented, then looked at Li Chengqian and reprimanded,

"Human nature is inherently good, this is common sense! With such a little knowledge, you can't hold back a fart for half a day! ”

"What are you doing?"

When Kong Yingda heard this, he also nodded.

The emperor became his mouth this time, and these words were exactly what he wanted to say.

These princes and princesses have a bad attitude towards learning! I guess it was broken by the person behind me!

He glanced at Xu Fenglei, and when he saw that he looked like a hanger, he couldn't help but snort coldly, don't look around.

"Back to my father, it's not that my son can't answer, but he's thinking about a question."

Li Chengqian tilted his head and asked,

"Master Kong said that human nature is inherently good, but is this really the case?"

"I think I had a lot of evil thoughts when I was a child, such as the queen mother's good food, I always grabbed the biggest and best piece, and I didn't even want to keep a piece for my younger siblings."

"Also, when I was a child, I would secretly pee on the bed, and once the servant at home carried me on his back, and I wanted to play, so I peed directly on his neck."

"Later, when I grew up, I realized that these were not right, they were evil, but at that time I was ignorant and didn't know anything, if human nature is good, then where did these evil thoughts come from?"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned.

This question stopped him a bit.

Kong Yingda's face sank.

"What does the prince mean by supporting the theory of sexual evil? Think human nature is inherently evil? ”

And he said displeased,

"That's a fallacy!"

Li Chengqian became more and more puzzled.

"Master Kong, that's not what I meant."

He scratched his head and said,

"I don't know anything about sexual evil, I just have some doubts."

"Besides, I remember that Xunzi, who put forward the theory of sexual evil, is also a Confucian sage, how can his views be fallacious?"

Kong Yingda:"@#¥%......&@#"

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Although he didn't like Xunzi's point of view very much, he had to admit that Xunzi was also a great sage, not some evil demon.

"Can Master Kong help me with my doubts? Can my father help me with my doubts? ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Kong Yingda, then at Li Shimin, and arched his hand.

Li Shimin: "......"

"You just have to learn, why do you ask so much!"

Li Er waved his hand and said with some embarrassment,

"Whatever the master teaches, you learn! Where do you have so many doubts? ”

Kong Yingda can't even say, he can know a hammer!

"That's not going to work."

Li Chengqian's serious way,

"Master said that if you want to learn, you must learn real knowledge, if it is fake knowledge, learning will not only waste time, but also pollute the spirit!"

"Master also said that to prove whether a theory is true or not, it depends on whether you can cite counterexamples, and if you can cite counterexamples, it is not the truth."

"Now that the child has given a counterexample, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then this theory of sexual goodness is not worth learning!"

Li Tai also nodded.

"That's right! The confusion of the eldest brother is also my confusion, if you can't explain the counterexamples, you won't learn! ”

"That's it! Why do you learn from fake things? Mistaken children! Li Li also said.

Li Ke echoed in a low voice.

All eyes fell on Kong Yingda, waiting for him to answer his questions.

Kong Yingda's face turned red, and he was already in a state of mind for a while, and even that firm heart was a little shaky!

Could it be ...... Is the theory of sexual goodness wrong?

No way! When pigs fly! Mencius was a sage, and his theories were tested for a long time, how could he be wrong?

Can...... How can he give a reasonable explanation for the prince's "evil" when he was a child?

Could it be that he was affected by the environment when he was a child and became bad? Isn't this nonsense! The emperor and empress won't be happy to hear it!

It's difficult, these little kids are the toughest he's ever had!

Seeing that Kong Yingda couldn't make half a fart, Xu Fenglei couldn't help grinning.

"If you are full of learning and Hongru at this level, then there will be no less dilemmas like this in the future, my disciples are all enlightened, it's not easy to fool."

He joked.

Kong Yingda's face became even more ugly.

Even Li Shimin's face was dark.

"Do you still have the face to talk about people? Isn't it because you don't do your job properly that I have to ask Kong Aiqing to coach them? ”

Li Er reprimanded,

"If you have a level, you will solve the emperor's doubts! Don't talk about it here! ”

Xu Fenglei snorted lightly.

"The so-called good and evil are already outdated theories, the times are advancing, and of course knowledge must keep pace with the times, otherwise it will be eliminated."

He stood with his hands folded and said,

"There is no good and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious action,"

"Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing."

"These four sentences can answer Cheng Qian's doubts."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and read silently.

Kong Yingda's heart was shocked, after listening to these four sentences, there was a feeling of glimpsing the truth and standing on end!

"From the very beginning, there is no distinction between good and evil in the human heart, and all good and evil are moving in the mind."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"The Buddha said: Stir your heart and alarm the ghosts and gods of the ten directions! This heart-moving idea is the intention to move, because there are desires, likes and dislikes. ”

"There is good intentions and there are malicious intentions. As Cheng Qian just said, snatching snacks from your younger brothers and sisters and urinating on the necks of the attendants is your malice. But in addition, you also have a lot of kindness, such as you love small animals, will take the initiative to beat the legs of tired parents, etc., these are your kindness. ”

Li Chengqian nodded again and again when he heard this, and his expression was extremely serious.

The rest of the people also tilted their heads and pricked up their ears to listen carefully - this scene seemed to go back to a few years ago.

"As you grow up, whether it is your parents' words and deeds, or your own growth and thinking, your conscience will gradually become clear."

Xu Fenglei said again,

"At this time, your conscience will tell you what is good and what is evil, what can be done and what cannot be done."

"You will no longer snatch snacks from your younger siblings, but will generously share them with them, or even let them eat them first; You'll stop peeing on your minions' necks, because you know it's not right to make fun of it. ”

"Gradually, the judgment of your conscience will become stronger and stronger, and you will be able to distinguish between good and evil in the world, and you will be able to do good deeds and eliminate evil thoughts. If you practice in this way, you will become a true gentleman, even a saint! ”

"Now, got it?"

"Hmm!" The four children nodded in unison.

Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wujian and Kong Yingda also nodded subconsciously.

They were also persuaded by Xu Fenglei's theory! Especially Kong Yingda, who is already in the middle of a long exam at the moment.

"Conscience, conscience, what a wonderful word...... Doing evil for the sake of good is a thing, but what does it mean? ”

"Shhh......h

Obviously, these words touched Kong Yingda greatly! Let him ignore the current environment, and he will realize it directly.

"It has to be Master!"

Li Lizhi grinned and gave a thumbs up, saying,

"This Master Kong's class is boring, and I can't understand it! The child thought it was his own problem, but now he understands...... It's completely because his level is not enough! ”

"If Master teaches, children will definitely learn everything! Hee-hee......"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and glanced at the eldest grandson Wujian on the side.

The eldest grandson Wujian was also a little helpless.

Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, and was taught by a master like Xu Fenglei, these little children are now all ghosts and ghosts, a Kong Yingda, where can he enter their eyes?

Can't hold them at all!

"Come on, all I can teach you is the truth of being a human being, but it's not enough to know how to be a human being! You also need to have a cultural heritage! ”

Xu Fenglei taught,

"It takes a lot of reading, and boring memorization! So...... You are not allowed to hang your children, you all have to learn hard as a teacher! ”

"Master Kong and Master Yu are all well-educated people, and those of you who are students must respect your teachers! Do you understand?! ”

When it's time to lift Kong Yingda, you still have to lift it.

Otherwise, if this guy doesn't do it, the teaching task will not fall on his head?

"Yes."

The four children all responded respectfully.

Li Shimin's expression was also much soothed.

"Look at it, look at it, these emperors dare to go to the house to expose the tiles without fighting for three days, and you have to be the one who will govern it!"

He snorted coldly,

"When you come back from the Northern Expedition, you will have almost two days of rest! Next, run more to the East Palace, the emperors still have to teach! There can be no slackness, don't be the shopkeeper everywhere! ”

Xu Fenglei pursed his lips.

"Yes." He could only answer the order.

"I Ching" has long been taught, and the poor knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry that he knows is almost finished, what else can be taught later?

Or rather, what else will you do?

Cooking?

Fortune teller?

……

It's nerve-wracking!

"Kong Aiqing?"

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Kong Yingda and reminded him.

Kong Yingda was stunned and unaware.

"Kong Aiqing!" Li Shimin raised his voice.

"Ahh Your Majesty......"

Kong Yingda was taken aback, and then she woke up from a dream, and said again and again,

"The minister thought too much, and he was distracted for a while, and he hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins."

Li Shimin was stunned.

"Kong Aiqing is really diligent and studious."

He praised and laughed,

"Taishi's theory of conscience, can you feel so much?"

Kong Yingda: "!! ”

"Yes! It's too touching! ”

He arched his hand excitedly,

"In the minister's head, countless thoughts and countless feelings are popping up now, and I can't wait to write them all down now!"

"Your Majesty, please allow the minister to take a leave of absence for half a day, go home and meditate, and record all your feelings!"

Li Shimin was surprised.

These few lines of poetry, the gold content is so high? can make Kong Yingda, an old pedant, feel like he has been beaten with chicken blood.

"Go ahead!"

He waved generously,

"May Kong Aiqing make every effort and go further!"
