Daming heir

Chapter 213
As the most noble yamen in the imperial court, the Hanlin Academy had no other movements except the low and deep sound of reading and scrolls turning.

Entering the yamen, there is a sculpture of the most holy teacher in front of your head.

The ears are big, but the two wisdom teeth are very cute.

Kindly made today's disciples forget what his original intention was.

Behind the statue is a stout evergreen pine, which looks like a dragon and a tiger. It is vigorous and powerful, and it shades the courtyard in a simple and simple way.

It is said that this green pine was not planted here in the early morning.

People in Yuan Dynasty never really recognized the Confucianism of the Central Plains. This pine was the most luxuriant pine that was found when Zhu Yuanzhang, who was only the king of Wu, searched all over the south of the Yangtze River when he was in charge of Yingtian. Then it was transplanted here after the boss's money and food were recovered.

It is just a tree, but the political effect it brings is unprecedentedly powerful.

It seems that with this pine entering Yingtian City, people's hearts in Jiangnan began to change, and Jiangnan Shilin began to send more scholars into Yingtian City.

Taking a last look at the pine standing behind the statue of Confucius, Zhu Yunxi felt that if it was possible, as long as Daming's society needed it, the old man would definitely uproot this pine and burn it in the sea of ​​fire without mercy.

The more you walk to the interior of the Hanlin Academy.

There are more and more Hanlins wearing green robes around, everyone is holding scrolls in their hands, or the corners of their mouths are black.

In the open classrooms, countless busy figures gathered.

The imperial court wanted to compile books and history for the previous dynasty, and all such work was carried out in the Imperial Academy.

When the officials of the Imperial Academy saw the arrival of the emperor grandson, although they were a little puzzled, they all stood in place with proper manners and bowed to salute.

a while.

In a large courtyard at the end of the Yamen of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Yunxi found the figure of Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, walking in the Wenhua Palace today.

I saw that the entire courtyard, where the sun can shine, is covered with rare ancient books, classics and history collections, four books and five classics that are hard to find outside.

In addition to Xie Jin, there are many people who walk lightly from time to time among the piles of books on the floor, gently turning the pages of those books that have been dried, and exposing the pages of books that have not been dried to the sun.

"The ministers and others see the grandson."

"See the grandson of the emperor."

Someone noticed Zhu Yunxi's arrival, and immediately bowed to salute, with respect in his mouth.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at Xie Jin who was still fascinated.

He signaled everyone not to be disturbed, and continued to do their own business, and he walked behind Xie Jin himself.

Stretch your head and look in your eyes.

It turned out to be "The Complete Works of Mr. Xiangshan"!
Zhu Yunxi's eyes moved slightly, not expecting that Xie Dashen would be so fascinated by reading this book.

Mr. Xiangshan, that is, Lu Jiuyuan, a master of Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty and a proponent of Xinxue.

The study of mind began with Mencius and flourished in Cheng Hao.However, Lu Jiuyuan further developed the theory of mind and became a Confucian school that competed with Zhu Zi's Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Song Dynasties.

If Wang Yangming of the later generations can be regarded as the master of Confucianism, he can be called the last sage of Confucianism.Then everything was sorted out on the basis of the predecessors of Xinxue represented by Lu Jiuyuan.

Several officials of the Hanlin Academy who posted books around saw that the grandson came here specially to find Xie Dashen today. They looked at each other, waved silently, and cautiously stepped out of the courtyard.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, Xie Jin patted his thigh and shouted.

Then I saw him plausibly saying with a moving expression: "The universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe! Invent the original mind, learn from Gou to know the original, and I will explain all the six classics!"

"The Way of the Master is like the blue sky and the sun; the words of the Master are like thunder and thunder; the greatness of the Master, the brightness of the sun and the moon, the brightness of the Master, and the actions of the four seasons; !"

Xie Jin muttered something, and was ecstatic for a while, his teeth were shaking his nails, and his legs were shaking constantly.

The movements of turning the pages of the book became faster and faster, almost like forgetting to eat and sleep.

The corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly: "Brother Gentleman is very happy, and I remember Yu Bosheng's evaluation of Mr. Xiangshan verbatim."

Xie Jin's last words came from Yu Ji's evaluation of Lu Jiuyuan, a master of Confucianism in the Yuan Dynasty.

Xie Jin, who was flipping through "The Complete Works of Mr. Xiangshan", shook his shoulders, and turned to look at the emperor's grandson standing behind him with surprise on his face.

Xie Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly and carefully put down the complete works, turned around and glanced at his colleagues who had disappeared long ago, and bowed his face to salute: "The grandson came, and the minister didn't check. Punishment please."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Study is a waste of sleep and food, no matter what, it's not a disrespect."

Xie Jin blinked, watching Taisun pointing to the "Complete Works of Mr. Xiangshan" that he put on the pile of books, and hesitantly picked up the book and presented it to Taisun.

Zhu Yunxi took the book, turned a few pages carefully, and closed it in his hand again: "Lu Jiuyuan learned by heart, and he can be called a person who promotes it."

Xie Jin nodded, still regretful in his heart: "The grandson is out of the palace today, and came to Hanlin, what is it?"

Zhu Yunxi held the book in one hand, and patted the cover of the book with the other.

He actually came today for another matter, but he never thought that he would find out that this great gentry is so interested in the study of mind.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the book drying area around him, with a smile on his face: "Bachelor Xie is going to talk to Gu again?"

Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xie Jin's face, and he bowed and stretched out his hand to ask: "I'm sorry, grandson, please."

The two left the book drying place, and there was a tea room beside them.

Xie Jin made tea, while Zhu Yunxi put the "Complete Works of Mr. Xiangshan" in his hand on the table and read it carefully.

Taking advantage of the gap while waiting for the water to boil, Xie Jin raised his head and silently glanced at the grandson who was reading carefully in front of him, feeling more and more puzzled.

Xie Jin was about to speak, but Zhu Yunxi had already spoken first: "Mr. Xiangshan's Six Classics all comment on my feet, and this statement is very kind."

Xie Jin had no choice but to agree with a chuckle: "Mr. Xiangshan's thoughts show the nature of Confucianism. Every time I read it, I have new ideas like a spring, and I wish I could live with my husband."

Zhu Yunxi looked up at Xie Jin, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "It's just that we think Mr. Xiangshan's remarks are still not enough to explain the theory of mind."

Xie Jin wondered, "Does the grandson have new and unique insights?"

Frowning slightly, Xie Jin thought for a while, but couldn't find anything that the grandson had done research on psychology in the past.

"Although the heart is in charge of one person, it actually governs the principles of the world; although the principles are scattered in everything, it is really nothing more than a person's heart." Zhu Yunxi said quietly, but his eyes were always on the young Xie Jin in front of him.

Speaking Wang Yangming's words decades in advance, he didn't feel any shame.

Xie Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi, his eyes were full of shock.

Looking at Lu Jiuyuan's remaining writings, he has gained a lot of insight over the years, but the thoughts of the predecessors are not enough to discuss the present. He hopes that he can use the thoughts of the predecessors to further develop the Confucian knowledge of the study of the mind, but he is always uninspired .

However, this time, the grandson of the emperor, who had never exposed his intentions to study, actually made such grand remarks, which shocked Xie Jin's heart.

But Zhu Yunxi continued: "The intention is to serve relatives, that is, to serve relatives is a thing; the intention is to listen to words and actions, that is, to listen to words and actions is a thing. Therefore, a certain person said that there is no reason outside the mind, and there is no thing outside the mind. "

"There are thousands of truths in the world, and the elders have already learned a lot. But there is no one truth for everything in the world."

With a trace of worry on Zhu Yunxi's face, he said in a low voice: "I think that everything should come from the heart. Or in general, it's a sentence to conscience, the unity of knowledge and action!"

Finally, Zhu Yunxi spoke out the most important argument and the origin of Yangming's philosophy of mind.

Xie Jin felt that his state at the moment was very strange.

Even the teapot in front of him was neighing, but it couldn't touch him at all.

"To conscience...the unity of knowledge and action...the unity of knowledge and action..."

Xie Jin was like a little novice monk under the bodhi tree in front of the Buddha, who only heard the enlightenment of the Buddha in vain, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Afterwards, he looked at Zhu Yunxi blankly: "How can knowledge and action be one?"

Zhu Yunxie smiled slightly, and gave the most standard answer: "Knowledge is true and honest, and action is action, and action is clear and observant, and knowledge is the place."

Xie Jin never thought that he would have such a wonderful experience today.

He got up immediately, and bowed to Zhu Yunxi with the full ancient etiquette of scholars.

"The minister was released by his grandson today, and there are cracks in the predicament of mental learning. I am very grateful."

You just need to sort it out again, think carefully, and complete what the grandson said today.

Xie Jin believes that after Lu Jiuyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, the history of Confucianism will inevitably require a representative figure of the study of mind.

Even Xie Jin frowned.

Maybe I can also become a sage who founded a sect within Confucianism!

Scholars, reading to become a sage is the highest honor.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and beckoned for Xie Jin to sit down: "It's just a few words of our insights on the government."

Xie Jin, who had just sat down, frowned, and asked in a low voice with an attitude of seeking knowledge: "Why did the grandson have this insight?"

Zhu Yunxi explained: "Nowadays, in the imperial court, hundreds of officials follow the sage's writings as the criterion, do not seek change, and follow the past in everything. The state has been like this for a long time, how can it develop?"

"The Ministry of Households doesn't know arithmetic, the Ministry of Industry doesn't know construction, the Ministry of Punishment doesn't know Legalism, and the Ministry of War doesn't know military affairs. If things go on like this, Brother Da Geng thinks that the world can really be prosperous?"

Xie Jin frowned: "The grandson reprimanded the two directors of the Ministry of Industry a few days ago..."

Zhu Yunxie nodded and said, "That's right, if you are an official of the Ministry of Industry but don't know the job of the Ministry of Industry, what is the use of such a person?"

"It's just a silverfish." Xie Jin snorted coldly, and he couldn't see the people in the court hall who were paid to eat the emperor but did nothing.

Zhu Yunxie smiled slightly: "Everything, we only got this insight today when we read the collection of Mr. Xiangshan by Brother Dashen. Everything in the world should be united with knowledge and action. How can we not distinguish the five grains and not work diligently before we act. Will you be able to live in the temple and act in the world?"

Xie Jin has been completely substituted into a thinking set by Zhu Yunxie.

He nodded heavily: "No!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled with satisfaction: "Everything, I came to the Imperial Academy alone today to look for Brother Dashen, and there is one thing I hope Brother Dashen can help!"
