People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 101 The power of mind learning, a dying old gentleman

"Details!"

Xu Cunren was calm on the surface, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

This kid is much smarter than he imagined.

Since the emperor used the old Zhang family to suppress the Kong family, some people in the court were vaguely dissatisfied with the Zhang family.

It's not that they really have any opinion on the Zhang family, it's not so much that they have any opinion on the Zhang family, it's better to say that they have nothing to do with the emperor and pour their emotions on the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has benefited from the emperor, so it's time to take the blame for the emperor.

Xu Cunren didn't like being angered like this, but there was nothing he could do.

"Pindao didn't know at first, but Mr. Li called me the magic stick of Longhushan. In such a hurry, what Mr. Li said was the truth, so Pindao boldly guessed that the root of his attack on me was in Longhushan. !

Thinking of my father's recent royal family, and his attitude towards that son of the Kong family, Pindao probably understands why! "

Zhang Yi was honest and made Xu Cunren nod slightly.

When he was observing the child, he realized that Zhang Yi was not ignorant.

When Li Zhi got into a fight with Zhang Yi, Xu Cunren already had a general understanding of the matter.

The kid kept saying that he didn't understand, but when he refuted Li Zhi, he seemed confident.

To attack Li Zhi by misinterpreting the phrase "Tao is governed by politics, uniformed by punishment, people are exempt without shame, Tao is based on virtue, unified by propriety, shameful and dignified" to attack Li Zhi.

But that's not why Xu Cunren called Zhang Yi here.

What really shocked him was what Zhang Yi said casually.

"What is the unity of knowledge and action?

Those who follow the prophets and act later are the right way, you child, stop talking nonsense in the future, and introduce the sage's kung fu into metaphysics!

Fortunately, those people haven't recovered from what you said, otherwise they would have to settle accounts with you! "

Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't expect that Xu Cunren didn't teach himself in his noisy school, but he cared so much about this sentence.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Yi also understood.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism began with Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi in the Southern Song Dynasty, was perfected by Zhu Xi, flourished in the Yuan Dynasty, and was established in the Ming Dynasty. It has long been the mainstream thought of Confucianism.

Zhang Yi has always believed that the rise of Neo-Confucianism is a theory that combines the principles of heaven and Confucianism, and supplements the sanctity of Confucianism with the legitimacy of monarchy. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism suddenly became the favorite of emperors and was sought after by people.

And the unity of knowledge and action that he unintentionally mentioned is one of the core concepts of Wang Mingyang, the "sage" of Xinxue, who parted ways with Neo Confucianism.

It's no wonder that the other party reminds himself specially.

He observed that the old man in front of him seemed to be different from other scholars, and said:
"Compared to Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism's prophets and later actions, and investigation of things to achieve knowledge, I like Mr. Wang's unity of knowledge and action. The so-called: knowledge is the idea of ​​action, action is the effort of knowledge; knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. Only If you say one thing, you already have action; if you only say one line, you already have knowledge!"

When Xu Cunren heard this, his face changed drastically.

Zhang Yi's words were completely different from the book philosophy he had read since he was a child. He wanted to be angry, but he read countless meanings from these words, and he became restless.

"Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge!"

"Where did you hear that? Who is that Mr. Wang?"

"It's a pilgrim from Longhu Mountain. I have bragged and chatted with him!"

Zhang Yi opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I said that I don't like reading, and he said that he doesn't like the truths spread down the mountain... It's just that the king likes it, and he can't help it!"

"The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of knowledge and action..."

Zhang Yi didn't know how much trouble a word he said casually would cause an old gentleman who had studied academics all his life.

Xu Cunren summoned Zhang Yi over because he thought he was interesting, so he asked him.

But what Zhang Yi said vaguely made him feel that he had picked up a great treasure.

"Who is that Mr. Wang?"

The old man jumped up and grabbed Zhang Yi, who said, "Wang Mingyang!"

Who is Wang Mingyang?
Xu Cunren racked his brains and couldn't think of such a person in the world.

"Sir, have I passed the customs?"

Xu Cunren was awakened by Zhang Yi's words. He took a deep look at Zhang Yi and said:
"Okay, you go back, tell Li Zhi that I sent you back, he dare not make things difficult for you!"

Zhang Yi nodded and left obediently.

Elder Xu fell into deep thought.

"I forgot to ask that child, what else did that Wang Mingyang say?"

By the time he reacted, Zhang Yi had already run away.

Xu Cunren shook his head and smiled:

"I originally decided to ask His Majesty to retire and return to my hometown this year, but meeting such an interesting little guy, it is worth staying some time!"

……

On the second day,
When Zhang Yi came to the dormitory, he had already changed into ordinary clothes.

He and Deng Zhongxiu went to someone to make one last night, and they could barely wear it.

This time he didn't dare to come to Guozixue sooner or later.

"Yo Ho, isn't this the little Taoist from yesterday?"

"Good morning, Xiaodao!"

With the experience of being tough on the teacher yesterday, Zhang Yi gained the curiosity of many people in Guozixue, and people kept saying hello to him on the way.

Zhang Yi quickly exchanged names with these people, and chatted happily.

"My fellow, you don't look so good, did you secretly go to the sixteenth floor... I have a prescription, do you want to try it?"

"Nonsense, we can't study well, can't you trust the prescription of Longhushan?"

"Then the girl is using tricks to trick you, so don't fall into it..."

"If you want vaccination, I have it here..."

"I think this matter, he can do this..."

In the school, Kong Kejian has been observing Zhang Yi,

This seven-year-old child quickly became a group with his classmates.

He can chat with the 30-year-old Jiangxi fellow on the [-]th floor, and he can chat with the nephew of the prefect of Suzhou about his feelings.

Looking back, he has already taught others how to vaccinate it is safer, and everyone gathered around to listen to him.

The Zhang family seems to be the center of attention wherever they go.

From the age of [-] to the age of fifteen or sixteen, there is no one Zhang Yi can't talk to. No matter the truth or falsehood, everyone will show kindness to Zhang Yi.

And what about yourself?

With the name of a Confucian family heir, it seems that everyone respects him,
But until now, everyone seems to keep a friendly distance from him.

Except for some teachers who took good care of Kong Na, most of the others still dare not approach him.

The name of the traitor of the Confucian family was decided to death with a few words in the emperor's palace.Maybe others wouldn't mind this rumor, but they definitely cared about the emperor's attitude.

Noda's Confucian mansion, Kong Kejian has been in the capital for a long time, no official has set foot in it.

The Confucian mansion was the lonely hell prepared by the emperor for Kong Kejian. There was a lot of people around him, but he couldn't feel the warmth.

And Kong Na found that the place he was in was not a lonely hell.

These students, those who can come to Guozixue to take classes, either have someone in their family who is an official, or they want to get an official position in the court. No matter what their background is, naturally they will not contact him easily.

"Ahem, it's time for class!"

I don't know who said something, Zhang Yi's sharing group is scattered.

He ran back to his seat, only to find that the future Duke Yan of the Kong family looked a little lonely.

"This kid is isolated, no wonder, a mascot should have the fate of a mascot!"

Zhang Yi still has sympathy for Kong Na. Although he thinks Kong Kejian is a traitor, it does not mean that all Kong's family members are like this.

And this guy looked proud, but he pretended to be strong, like a kid who was about to cry.

Zhang Yi understood Kong Na's feelings, because before he came to Yingtian Mansion, he was also isolated by his brothers in Longhu Mountain...

He poked Kong Na with a pen, Kong Na turned back.

"Here you are, this old brother Zhang from Jiangxi gave it to me, I can't finish it!"

Zhang Yi smiled, and gave Kong Na a snack, Kong Na was stunned for a moment.

This is the first person who came to Guozixue, other than the teacher, who dared to approach him.Seeing Zhang Yi's smiling face, Kong Na had mixed feelings, but he quickly put on a straight face and pushed the dim sum back.

Who wants to be your friend?

Zhang Yi was stunned when he saw this kid's actions, and immediately became angry, heck, why don't you look down on us?

He didn't bother to pay attention to Kong Na, and stuffed the snack into his mouth.

"Sir is here!"

The students in the front row yelled in a low voice, and everyone hurriedly packed their things and sat up straight.

"Old Xu!"

"Xu Jijiu?"

The teacher who walked into the school was not Li Zhi as everyone knew, but Xu Cunren.

"Mr. Li has another appointment. From today on, I will be your husband...don't call me Jijiu from now on, call me Mr. Xu!"

The appearance of Xu Cunren caused commotion among the students in the school, and it was a great honor for Jijiu to teach them in person.

Among the people who can come to Guozixue, there are probably two kinds of people.

One is the children of meritorious officials or officials, who enter here with the shadow of their ancestors;

The Imperial Examinations of the Ming Dynasty had not yet been held, and now the main way to become an official is to try the recommendation system.

Stepping into Guozixue is equivalent to having the opportunity to enter the officialdom, but the recommendation of a good teacher is even more rare.

Xu Cunren is the ceremonial wine of Guozixue, and he has also taught other princes, and he is even one of the teachers of Prince Zhu Biao.

If this level of relationship can be climbed, and the husband can help them with a word at a critical moment, it will definitely have a bright future.

But unlike other people's happiness, Zhang Yi looked at those people like they were fools.

Others don't know Xu Cunren's fate, but he does!

This old gentleman could die at any time and was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!
When the time comes, those classmates who think they can get on with each other, I am afraid that they who are excited to get on with Mr. Xu at this time will feel unlucky at that time, and wish they could get rid of the relationship with Xu Cunren.

The relationship between vanity fair and power field is so realistic.

"Start the lecture!"

As Mr. Xu's lecture started, the classroom became quiet.

What Xu Cunren said was also about the Analects, but from Zhang Yi, a layman, it was several times better than yesterday's Mr. Li.

He has a gentle attitude and his lectures are also very simple.

Even Zhang Yi listened carefully. This was probably the first time in his life that he took a Confucian course seriously. It was not until a few hours, at noon, that the long course ended.

"You two, come with me!"

Xu Cunren pointed at Kong Na and Zhang Yi and called them out!
