A sedan chair fell in front of Bianliang Lu Mansion.

"Master Zhe, you're back. ”

"Hmm. The old man in green clothes nodded, and while walking, he still held a book in his hand, and quickly entered the house.

"Master Zhe is really excited. ”

"He is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world, and he can't imagine that he is still so handy. The two subordinates in front of the door sighed, Lu Xizhe is the son of Lu Gong, who has been extremely intelligent since childhood, but he is extremely modest and studious. When he was a teenager, he studied under Jiao Qianzhi, Sun Fu, Shi Jie, and Hu Ming, at this time he was already a talented eight buckets, but he still learned from Zhang Zai, the founder of Guanxue, and studied under Ercheng, learning Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi's Luoxue, and Wang Anshi's 'new learning'.

He is smart and eager to learn.

In addition, the students he studied under are all famous teachers, and he is not limited to one family's views, and few people can guess the depth of knowledge in Lu Xizhe's stomach.

Lu Xizhe's reputation is not very obvious.

The main reason is that he entered the official with Yin, and listened to Wang Anshi's persuasion, so he didn't do anything about the imperial examination. This is the same as Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan, who is talented but not famous.

At this moment, in the Lu Mansion, Lu Xizhe walked side by side with another old man.

Qin Xianao wrote several times, asking his father to support the launch of the vernacular literary movement. Lu Xizhe said in a deep voice, "Looking at his words and deeds, this Qin Xian is extremely arrogant and confident in his bones, and his stubbornness is even far greater than that of Wang Xianggong, since he wants to do this, he will never give up because of his father and because we don't support it." ”

"It's nature. Lu Xichun said lightly, "Father means don't care about him, if he wants to start a vernacular text, he is asking for his own death." ”

"Yes. Lu Xizhe shook his head, "I always feel that although initiating vernacular literature is a dead end for him, if the real vernacular literature can be used in the world." It's not necessarily a bad thing in the world. ”

"Brother, you can't think like that. Lu Xichun said in a deep voice.

"I'll just think about it. Lu Xizhe sighed, the aura of the world was about to collapse, he naturally knew it, and he was also worried about it. "Pure brother, in today's world. If you want to decipher the secret of longevity, you can only have a slight chance of winning by mobilizing the power of the world and stimulating the potential of the people in the world, but how to stimulate the wisdom of the people is a major matter in our hearts. We can't find a way, so why not let someone else try it?"

"My Great Song Dynasty has accumulated disadvantages for a hundred years, and it has not reached a critical juncture, so Wang Anshi has changed the law. That's what you said, but what happened after Wang Xianggong tried to change the law? My Great Song was already full of ills, but instead of being cured, he became more ill, and now we have to deal with the aftermath. We can't help it, but we can't let a live horse be a dead horse doctor and let others do whatever they want. Lu Xichun said in a deep voice.

"Brother Chun, but I always feel that this vernacular text is not an introduction. So I'm thinking, isn't it ......?"

"Brother. Just tell me what you say, and if you go to your father, it will be strange if you don't get scolded. ”

......

Lu Xichun and Lu Xizhe walked into the study with a smile, and their eyes lit up when they fell on the desk, where there was a stack of newspapers, no different from many people in the world. Their Lu family also likes to read newspapers very much.

The newspaper "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can make people relax, and although rereading history seems to them to be the opinion of Qin Xianao's family, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and they can also gain long-term knowledge. As for other articles, there are also occasional gains.

"The last issue of "Tool Theory" was serialized, I wonder what will be published this time?"

"Just look at it. ”

Lu Xichun and Lu Xizhe are very curious, after "Theory of Tools", will Qin Xianao make some summaries, or issue some announcements, etc., after all, the work "Theory of Tools" is very weird, and now the whole world is full of controversy about this work, and everyone is waiting for Qin Xianao to come out to explain, or give a clear answer.

"Huh, a tool of knowledge?"

Lu Xichun grabbed a newspaper, this is a new newspaper today, he naturally hasn't read it yet, Lu Xizhe also picked up a copy, and the Lu family buys newspapers, and there are several copies at a time.

"The Tools of Knowledge, A Brief Discussion on the Theory of Tools". ”

As soon as Lu Xizhe saw this name, his eyes lit up, and he even looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more calm his face became.

"Brother, I didn't expect it to be discovered. ”

After reading this, Lu Xichun put down the newspaper and smiled. "Tool Theory" can be used to teach people how to reason, and they naturally have a little bit of sensitivity, but they don't pay so much attention to it.

"What do you think?" Lu Xizhe said in a deep voice, his face a little ugly.

Lu Xichun was stunned: "Brother, looking at your expression, is there anything wrong with this article?"

This article is not wrong. Lu Xizhe said in a deep voice, "It is precisely because he is correct and points out a real purpose of "Tool Theory" that I feel that this matter is a bit serious. ”

"Serious?" Lu Xichun glared at Lu Xizhe, "Doesn't this article just say that the "Theory of Tools" teaches us to be reasonable when we speak, isn't this nonsense, who is unreasonable when speaking? Brother, don't you think there is a deeper meaning in this?"

Lu Xizhe frowned slightly: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, it seems to have a deeper meaning." ”

"You've thought too much. Lu Xichun said with a smile.

Lu Xizhe groaned slightly: "Let's go to my father and ask him for his opinion." ”

In an elegant room, an old man is writing on the table, and on the wall to the right of the table hangs a letter: "If you are not good at adding yourself, you will accept it" is dignified.

"Father!"

Lu Xichun and Lu Xizhe pushed the door in.

"Is there something wrong?" Lu Gongzhu was still flying like a pen, and he didn't even raise his head.

"Father has read today's newspaper?" said Lu Xizhelian, "there is an article on it, "There is an article on it, "The Tools of Knowledge, and I feel that something is wrong. ”

"Something is wrong?" Lu Gongzhu put down his pen and dragged the newspaper next to him, which he had just read and put down not long ago.

"What do you think is wrong?" Lu Gongzhu knew that his son Lu Xizhe's knowledge and premonition were very good, although he didn't feel anything when he read that article before, but at this time, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"I can't tell, I always feel that what this article talks about is important, but it's vague what is important and why it's important. Lu Xizhe said.

Lu Gongzhu raised his eyebrows: "You wait a minute." "I even looked at Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu's articles.

Lu Xizhe and Lu Xichun stood aside and waited quietly, and they also admired their father very much.

Written by Lu Gong, the word is uncle. He is the founder of Lu Xue. The heart is pure and quiet, rarely speaks harshly, and he is very indifferent to the glory of singing and dancing. Not to mention other people, even the opposition Wang Anshi is also extremely respectful.

Wang Anshi respects Lu Gong like a brother, and this treatment is not even Sima Guang. Wang Anshi can speak well, and no one in the world can contend with him. Only Lu Gongshu can subdue him in a few words.

Therefore, Wang Anshi has said many times: "Every time you are stingy, you will be defeated when you are in front of the elderly." He said to people again and again: "Lu Gongshu is the prime minister, and my generation can speak for himself." ”

Wang Anshi is so.

Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu and others don't need to talk about it.

Lu Gongzhu read Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu's articles from beginning to end, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"This article must have been written by Qin Xianao on his instructions. Lu Gongzhu put down the newspaper and smiled, "I didn't understand his intention when he threw out the "Theory of Tools", how could he write such an uninteresting work as a person with such a high level of wisdom and resourcefulness, but now I have read this article. Ask him again about what he was going to do when he visited us recently, and everything will be clear. ”

"He wants to start a vernacular literary movement, and he wants us to support it, this vernacular literary movement, as I have said a long time ago, is to guide the way for stupid people, I will wait to read, and look at it at a glance. The meaning of his subtle words can be understood, and he can even be recited. Stupid people are different, a copy of the Analects needs to be explained again and again by the gentleman to understand, although most of them can also read, but they can't read the Chinese language, so naturally they can only take a back seat. Look at the vernacular. ”

Although his "Theory of Tools" teaches people to reason, so does the meaning. ”

"Reasonable, a true wise man, a turn of thought, right or wrong. There are any bends in the middle, everything is as clear as the palm of your hand. ”

"There is nothing new in the world, and at our age, everything in the world seems to be mixed, but in fact, there are only so many things in the end, how to deal with these things, and what is the real reason, have been recorded in the book of sages. ”

"We have read the book of the sages, the book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and after reading the book of the sages, it will lead to the avenue. ”

At this time, when it comes to reasoning, it is easy to draw on and quote, and it is easy to come easily. ”

"Only those who have not read the books of the sages will use his method to figure out concepts, definitions, categories, major premises, and minor premises...... Analyze the right and wrong of the truth one by one. Lu Gongzhu said.

"Then what does my father think about the article, do we not have to care?"

"After all, the world is managed by elites and smart people. Lu Gongzhu smiled and said, "Qin Xianao may think that he is the first in the world in terms of intelligence and intelligence, and everyone else is a stupid cow and a wooden donkey, so he came up with these ways and put his hope on inspiring stupid people, it will only be empty, let's not care about him, let him do it." ”

Lu Xichun also smiled: "That's right, as long as we control the imperial examination of our ancestors and use classical Chinese to test the level, we are not afraid that he will turn the sky upside down." ”

......

Prime Minister's Office.

Sima Kang frowned as he held the newly arrived newspaper. "Theory of Tools" is finished, it stands to reason that Qin Xianao, or the three editors-in-chief should make a summary, but in this issue of the newspaper, except for an article "Tools of Knowledge" written by "Ruyue" and "Miaoyu" that involves "Theory of Tools", there is not a single word.

"Father, when you say this "Tools of Knowledge", what do you mean that "The Theory of Tools" is to teach people to explain the truth clearly, could it be that Qin Xianao took great pains to throw it out, and the real intention of the doctrine used to leave a name in history is here?"

Qin Xianao was supported by Cihang Jingzhai, and what he came up with, the newspaper involved Qin Xianao's new doctrine, Sima Kang didn't dare to underestimate it.

Sima Guang glanced at Sima Kang lightly: "Idiot, can't you see it?"

"I also asked my father to pluck it. ”

"There is nothing to say in the books of the sages, nothing to teach. As soon as the Analects says, what is the first sentence of the opening chapter, have you forgotten?" said Sima Guang.

"The first sentence of the opening chapter, learn and learn from time to ......time," Sima Kang thought about it, and said slowly: "Father means that Qin Xianao's purpose is indeed just to teach people to sort out the truth......?" Does it work?"

"The saints educate the world, not those who are wise, but those who are ignorant. Qin Xianao's hand can be described as hitting a snake for seven inches, and he caught the real key point in one fell swoop, this person can be described as powerful. When Sima Guang said this, his eyes shone brightly, and he seemed to be very emotional, "The first doctrine he threw out is to talk about how to sort out the truth, and this clarification of the truth is to seek knowledge, to learn, and to think...... It is a truth that Confucianism advocates learning and edification. ”

"However, Qin Xianao is different from Sage Kong, that is, Qin Xianao will learn how to learn this, what 'tools' can be used to better sort out the 'Dao', very detailed, very clear, step by step, even a hopelessly stupid person can also follow this method to obtain knowledge, this is a progress, I have to admire his ingenuity after reading this "Theory of Tools". ”

Although his "Theory of Tools" is not useful to really smart people, and it is not useful to us, but there are many smart people in the world, or are there many stupid people? After all, there are more stupid people. ”

"You see, this "Theory of Tools" does not seem to be the same, but in the future, there will be a place for this book among the hundred schools of thought in the world. Speaking of this, Sima Guang's eyes showed a hint of envy, although his Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" will not be less influential in later generations than "Tool Theory", but how hard did he Sima Guang write "Zizhi Tongjian"?

With a sigh of emotion, Sima Guang looked at Sima Kang: "Kang'er, there are still some ways in this, you can think about it yourself." ”

"Yes!" Sima Kang left.
