Prime Minister

Chapter 592 Mr. Ming Dao
The teacher's studio of Taixue.

Shizhai is the jail, and Guan Gou Guozijian is usually in the office of Taixue.

Under several tall and dense locust trees, Zhang Yue was reading scriptures and making tea in the pavilion of Shi Zhai.

The small fire in the copper furnace licks the clay bowl.

Zhang Yue likes Shizhai very much, he can see the Zhishan Hall from a distance, and he can see the scene of Tai students going from the Zhai to Zhishan Hall to study with the sound of drums.

While drinking tea, Zhang Yue listened to the rustling autumn wind blowing the locust leaves, and suddenly felt at ease.It's still a place like a school, where people can be indifferent to fame and wealth, and temporarily forget about the factional struggles in the court.

He knew that he asked the officials to let Zhang Zai speak directly for the Imperial Academy, teaching martial arts, and Cheng Yi would definitely get the official permission for Cheng Yi to be a teaching assistant.

These two are the founders of the later generations.

He believed in the saying that a university lies in the presence of masters rather than buildings, but the leaders only like to build buildings.

Zhang Yue planned to invite great Confucian scholars like Zhang Zai and Cheng Yi to teach in Taixue with a generous salary.

At this moment, the academic official reported: "Qi report to Guan Gou, Cheng Yushi asks to see."

When Zhang Yue heard that Cheng Hao had come, he said, "Let him come here to see me."

After a while, Cheng Hao arrived at the teacher's studio. After the two worshiped each other, Zhang Yue invited Cheng Hao to take a seat.

Zhang Yue served Cheng Hao a cup of tea that he personally brewed: "Cheng Yushi is here, what advice do you have?"

Cheng Hao raised his hand and took a sip of the tea, then slowly put it in front of him.

Cheng Hao's movements made people feel like the spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his face was full of amiability: "I am here to thank Zhang Taizhi and recommend my father's cousin Zhang Zihou (Zhang Zai) to the officials, and my younger brother Cheng Yi .”

Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to be Mr. Hengqu. I have admired his name for a long time. Mr. Fan Wenzheng admired him back then. When Wang Zichun (Wang Shao) came back to Beijing and recommended people from Kansai to me, Mr. Hengqu was the first one he recommended."

Cheng Hao bowed his hand and thanked him.

Zhang Yue looked at Cheng Hao, the other party and Cheng Yi had completely different temperaments, such a neutral and peaceful Confucian demeanor, no wonder even Wang Anshi gave him three points.

"As for Lingdi, who is also my close friend, Lingdi's talent and learning are truly worthy of being the only one in the world who is said to be the only one in the world who is smarter than anyone else. The first thing I think of when I manage the Imperial Academy and invite famous teachers from all over the world is Mr. Hengqu and Lingdi. .”

Cheng Hao said: "At the beginning, my younger brother received four sentences from Taixue. There was no kindness or disgusting body. There was goodness and maliciousness. Knowing evil and knowing good is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is investigating things. After returning to Songshan After living in my hometown, I will stay at home for three years to see the details."

Zhang Yue secretly felt ashamed. He had joked with Cheng Yi on a whim back then, and revealed Wang Yangming's four words to the other party. He really didn't expect...

Cheng Hao said: "My younger brother always thinks that everything in the world is in one principle, but I am not. Everything in the world is in one 'benevolence'. Everything in the world is prepared for me, not only you, but everything, all come from here Go out, but things cannot be pushed, but people can.”

"The nature of benevolence is also a word of reason at its extreme."

Zhang Yue said: "This is a wise statement! Mencius once said, devote one's heart, understand one's nature, and know heaven, just as Cheng Yushi said."

"I don't dare to take it. I also benefited a lot from the four-sentence teaching of Hao's visit to Zhang Daizhi at the beginning. It can be called Cheng's four-sentence teacher!"

The two laughed together.

Zhang Yue chatted with Cheng Hao for a few words, very speculative.

Cheng Yi's temperament is too stubborn, and it is difficult for him to persuade him, but his brother Cheng Hao is different, he is a person who seeks common ground while reserving differences.

In history, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao's disciples recorded the attitude of the two gentlemen, saying that every time Cheng Hao argued with his disciples and had different opinions, he would finally say, "Let's discuss it again (more discussion)".Cheng Yi directly said 'no' to the door.

It can be seen that the two brothers are different.

Of course, Zhang Yue liked Cheng Hao's temperament better, and they both hated seeing each other late.

Cheng Hao said: "Wang Canzheng has ruled Taixue with one morality this time. I once argued with him that all post-scholars are accomplished with talents and cannot be grouped into one. It is self-generated, and looking at the meaning of its life, isn’t it also the cultivation of talents?”

"Is Zhang Daizhi's management of Gou Taixue all based on Wang's intention to participate in politics?"

Zhang Yuedao: "Mr. Mingdao's words are reasonable, but I think that there is no perfect way to study, just like governing politics."

"Mr. Ming Dao thinks that the way of heaven is unchanging? Not necessarily so. The only thing that remains constant in the way of heaven is that it is always changing. The same is true for this study. There is no perfect method of study. Now that the imperial court is going to reform, the most suitable study is also There is only 'one morality, eliminating differences'."

Cheng Hao sighed and said: "I study widely in various schools, go in and out of the old, explain it for many years, and finally return to the Six Classics. Only in this way can I understand the common people and observe human relations. When reading the classics as one, what you see is easy to be narrow. It’s hard to see the whole picture.”

Zhang Yue said: "The learning of saints is not something that everyone can spy on. What Taixue teaches now is the teaching method of the middle man. The teaching method of the middle man is based on step by step."

Cheng Hao and Zhang Yue chatted for a long time. From the teaching to the reform in the court, the two have benefited a lot from each other based on the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences.The last pot of tea was drunk before Cheng Hao got up to leave.

Cheng Hao was still worried about "a morality", and discussed teaching methods with Zhang Yue along the way!

At this time, the Tai students had already finished school, but they saw more than a dozen people divided into two teams playing Cuju on the flat ground in front of them.

Zhang Yue smiled when he saw this scene.

When Cheng Hao wanted to continue teaching Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue said, "Can Mr. Mingdao know how to play Cuju?"

Cheng Hao was taken aback for a moment and then said, "I learned a little bit when I was young."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "That's just right, let's not talk about the big truth, let's go together! Otherwise, I will be single."

"That's it..." Cheng Hao was slightly surprised, but then smiled, "Okay, I'll accompany the waiting system to the end!"

"go!"

Both Zhang Yue and Cheng Hao tied their robes around their waists and joined the Tai students.

Zhang Yue and Cheng Hao played for a while, and Cheng Hao retreated out of breath, then sat aside and watched Zhang Yue live like a dragon and a tiger in the field.

Cheng Hao had never seen Zhang Yue, a Confucian with youthful vigor and strong energy.

It was also the first time Cheng Hao had seen such a "sacrificial wine" with the Tai students.

Confucians don't have to sit in front of the window all day long and read the scriptures.

Cheng Hao realized something, and smiled slightly while brushing his beard.

Then he learned that after Zhang Yue managed to go to Taixue, he strongly encouraged the Tai students to practice Cuju and archery, and also modified the rules of Cuju to become more confrontational.

Tai students are no longer lecturing in the classroom every day, and they are learning about two points and one line like Yuzhai, and they also have more activities such as Cuju, archery and other physical fitness on weekdays.

Zhang Yuexuan's Cuju movement naturally came from later generations' resentment towards the national football team, so he planned to start from 1000 years ago.

But the real effect was that this trip to Taixue deeply touched Cheng Hao.

Afterwards, Cheng Hao wrote to Zhang Zai, Cheng Yi and his teacher Zhou Dunyi, saying that although Zhang Yue had been in charge of Gou Taixue for only one month, there was a new atmosphere, and even a earth-shaking change was brewing.

Cheng Hao encouraged Zhang Zai, his brother and teacher.
