I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 438 Human nature is good?This evil?Yangming Psychology Dimensionality Reduction Strike!
Imperial City, East Palace.

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

This is mainly because the "Book of Changes" has already been taught, and other cultural courses are all Xiaodaoer, and he is not interested in teaching.

Therefore, the teaching masters of the East Palace became well-educated Confucian scholars such as Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan. Xu Fenglei was so busy with his own affairs that he almost forgot that he still had such a few disciples.

"Mencius said: "Water trust has no distinction between east and west, and has no distinction between up and down? The goodness of human nature is like that of water that flows down. There is nothing wrong with people, and everything in water flows down."

Kong Yingda sat in front of the hall, talking eloquently,

"Therefore, human nature is inherently good. Your Highnesses, do you... all understand?"

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

Li Lizhi even lay down on the table and took a nap!
Li Ke was the only one who was still listening, but he was also listless.

Bang bang bang!
Kong Yingda stared, and the ruler in his hand twitched wildly.

"What are you doing! Why are your eyes narrowed?"

He reprimanded somewhat sullenly,
"How can you sleep? Ah? At your age, when you should study hard, can you sleep?"

"I'm like you at this moment. Every day, I have my head hanging on the beam and my buttocks. I won't give up until I memorize the book! Otherwise, how can I learn well, how can I be full of economics?!"

"Come on, cheer me up! Otherwise, I'm going to hit the board!"

His saliva spouted, and several students were shocked.

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

"Master Kong, what caused such a big fire?"

Li Shimin stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile,
"Are the princes being mischievous again?"

Beside him, the eldest grandson Wugou was holding Li Zhi who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and his eyes were also turned to the children.

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

As a prince and grand teacher, how long has it been since you did your job? !
"See Your Majesty, see Your Majesty, and see Grand Master."

Kong Yingda stepped forward to salute.

"See father, queen mother, see master."

The four children also saluted respectfully.

"No gift, no gift."

When they saw the master coming, they suddenly regained their energy and began to wink.

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

Seeing this scene, Kong Yingda frowned, feeling a little displeased.

Li Shimin raised his hand with a smile and said,
"I have nothing to do for a while, so I came to the East Palace to take a look at the prince's homework."

"Where does this teach, let me see."

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

"'Mencius'..."

Li Er flipped through it casually, pointed at Li Chengqian and said,

"Theory of human nature? Come on, come on, you just took the class, summed it up?"

Four children: "..."

Most afraid, the air suddenly quiet.

"talk!"

Kong Yingda was sweating on his forehead and said nervously,
"Sir, didn't I teach you all just now! Let Your Majesty explain it roughly..."

Li Chengqian blinked.

Li Tai began to dig out his pockets to find something to eat.

Li Lizhi looked innocent and innocent.

Only Li Ke looked a little difficult and hesitant.

Anyway, among the four of them, none of them spoke!

Kong Yingda: "#￥%...&*@#!!!"

Rather!I am really convinced by these big brothers!

"None of you can tell?"

Li Shimin frowned, and asked in a cold voice,

"How do you read your books?!"

He's getting a little angry.

"Go back to the emperor."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Ke stepped forward and said,
"Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, just like the downward nature of water, it is the law of nature."

"Every one of us is born good."

Li Shimin's expression softened a little when he heard this.

"Well said."

He made a comment, then looked at Li Chengqian, and reprimanded,
"Human nature is good, this is common sense! With such a little knowledge, you still can't hold a fart for a long time!"

"What are you doing!"

Kong Yingda nodded when she heard the words.

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

These princes and princesses have such a bad attitude towards study!It is estimated that it was brought down by the person behind!

He glanced at Xu Fenglei, and seeing that he was acting foolishly, he couldn't help snorting coldly, and turned his head away.

"Returning to Father, it's not that I can't answer, but I'm thinking about a question."

Li Chengqian tilted his head and asked,
"Master Kong said that human nature is inherently good, but is it really so?"

"I think I had a lot of evil thoughts when I was a child. For example, my mother and queen shared the delicious food. I always grabbed the biggest and best piece, and I didn't even want to keep a piece for my younger brothers and sisters."

"Also, when I was a child, I would pee secretly on the bed. There was another time when a servant at home carried me behind my back. I wanted to play in my heart, so I just peed on his neck."

"Later, when I grew up, I realized that these were all wrong and evil, but at that time I was ignorant and didn't know anything. If it is said that human nature is inherently good, then where did these evil thoughts come from?"

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback.

This question stumped him a bit.

Kong Yingda's face darkened.

"What does the prince mean to support the theory of evil? Do you think human nature is inherently evil?"

He said displeasedly,
"This is a fallacy!"

Li Chengqian became more and more puzzled.

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

He scratched his head and said,

"I haven't learned about sexual evil theory, I just have some doubts."

"Besides, I remember that Xunzi who put forward the theory of evil nature is also a Confucian sage. How can his views be fallacies?"

Kong Yingda: "@#￥%...&@#"

When Li Chengqian said this, he didn't know how to refute 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 heretic.

"Can Master Kong clear up my doubts? Can my father clear up my doubts?"

Li Chengqian glanced at Kong Yingda, then at Li Shimin, and cupped his hands.

Li Shimin: "..."

"You can just learn it, why ask so many questions!"

Li Er waved his hand and said in embarrassment,
"You learn what the master teaches! Why are there so many doubts?"

Kong Yingda can't even tell, he knows a hammer!

"That won't work."

Li Chengqian said solemnly,
"Master said that if you want to learn, you must learn the real knowledge. If it is fake knowledge, it 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 give counterexamples. If you can give counterexamples, it is not the truth."

"Now the child has given a counterexample. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then this theory of good nature is not worth learning!"

Li Tai also nodded.

"Yes! Big brother's confusion is also my confusion. If you can't explain the counterexample, don't learn!"

"That's right! Why do you learn from him with fake things? It's a mistake!" Li Lizhi also said.

Li Ke echoed in a low voice.

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

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

Could it be... the theory of good nature is wrong?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!Mencius is a sage, his theory has been tested for a long time, how could it be wrong?
But... how can he give a reasonable explanation to explain the prince's "doing evil" when he was a child?
Could it be that he was affected by the environment when he was a child and became bad?This is not nonsense!The emperor and queen will not be happy to hear this!

Difficult, these little kids are the most difficult class he has ever led!
Seeing Kong Yingda faltering and hawing, Xu Fenglei couldn't help grinning.

"If a well-educated Confucian is at this level, then there will be many predicaments like this in the future. These disciples of mine are all enlightened, so it's not easy to fool them."

He jokingly said.

Kong Yingda's face became even uglier.

Even Li Shimin's complexion turned dark.

"Do you still have the face to criticize others? Isn't it because you are not doing your job properly that I have to ask Kong Aiqing and the others to teach?"

Li Er scolded,

"Since you have the level, you can explain the confusion to the princes! Don't make sarcastic remarks here!"

Xu Fenglei snorted softly.

"The so-called good nature and evil nature 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 behind his back and chanted,
"There is no good and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious movement,"

"Knowing good and knowing evil is liangzhi, doing good and eliminating evil is investigating things."

"These four sentences can answer Chengqian's doubts."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and muttered silently.

Kong Yingda's heart was shocked. After hearing these four sentences, he felt as if he had glimpsed the truth and his hairs stood on end!
"People's original mind has no distinction between good and evil from the very beginning. All good and evil are motivated by thoughts."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"The Buddha said: Arouse the thoughts of the mind to disturb the ghosts and gods in the ten directions! This movement of the mind is the movement of the mind. This is because there are desires, likes and dislikes."

"There are good intentions and malicious intentions. For example, Chengqian, what you just said about grabbing snacks from younger brothers and sisters and urinating on the necks of attendants is your malice. But in addition, you also have many good intentions, such as you love small animals, You will take the initiative to beat your tired parents' legs, etc., these are your kindness."

Li Chengqian nodded again and again, with an extremely serious expression.

The rest of the people also raised their heads and listened carefully—this scene seemed to go back a few years ago.

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

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 brothers and sisters, but will give them generously, and even let them eat first; you will no longer pee on the neck of your servants, because you know that it is wrong to have fun."

"Slowly, the judgment of your conscience will become stronger and stronger, you will be able to distinguish between good and evil in the world, and you will be able to do good deeds and get rid of evil thoughts. If you continue to practice like this, you will become a real gentleman , even saints!"

"I get it now?"

"En!" The four children nodded in unison.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wugou and Kong Yingda also nodded subconsciously.

They were also convinced by Xu Fenglei's theory!Especially Kong Yingda, who was already caught in the long exam at the moment.

"Conscience, liangzhi, such an exquisite word... Doing good and eliminating evil is gewu. What does gewu mean?"

"Hiss - let me think about it, let me stroke it..."

Obviously, these words touched Kong Yingda greatly!Let him realize it directly regardless of the current environment.

"It has to be Master!"

Li Lizhi grinned and gave a thumbs up, saying,

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

"If the master teaches, the children will definitely be able to learn everything! Hee hee..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and glanced at his eldest grandson Wugou.

The eldest grandson Wugou was also a little helpless.

In the past, the sea was too difficult for water, and after being taught by a master like Xu Fenglei, these little brats are all ghosts and ghosts now. How can a Kong Yingda fall into their eyes?

Can't handle them at all!

"Come on, all I can teach you is the principles of being a human being, but just knowing how to be a human being is not enough! You also need to have cultural accumulation!"

Xu Fenglei taught,

"This requires a lot of reading, as well as boring memorization! So... you are not allowed to fool around, and learn it for the teacher!"

"Master Kong and Master Yu are all well-educated people. You students, you must respect your teacher! Do you understand?!"

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

Otherwise, if this guy quits, then the teaching task should not fall on him?
"Yes."

All four children responded respectfully.

Li Shimin's expression also eased a lot.

"Look, look, look, these princes dare to go to the house to expose the tiles without fighting for three days, and you have to deal with them!"

He snorted coldly,

"When Beizheng comes back, you'll be resting for two days! Next, you'll have to run more to the East Palace, and the princes will have to teach you! Don't let yourself be slack in the slightest, and don't be a shopkeeper everywhere!"

Xu Fenglei pouted.

"Yes." He could only accept the order.

The "Book of Changes" has been taught long ago, and the poor knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry that he knows is almost taught, what else can he teach later?
Or, what else can I do?

Stir fry?

Fortune teller?

……

Mind blowing!

"Kong Aiqing?"

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

Kong Yingda was stunned like a demon, and didn't realize it.

"Kong Aiqing!" Li Shimin raised his voice.

"Ah! Your Majesty..."

Kong Yingda was taken aback, and as if waking up from a dream, she repeatedly confessed,
"The minister thought too much and lost his mind for a while. I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin was stunned.

"Kong Aiqing is really studious."

He praised and laughed,

"The grand master's theory of conscience can make you feel so deeply?"

Kong Yingda: "!!!"

"Yes! The feeling is too great!"

He clapped his hands excitedly,
"There are countless thoughts and insights in Chen's head. I wish I could write them all down now!"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take half a day's leave, go home and think carefully, and record all my thoughts!"

Li Shimin was surprised.

These few short poems have such a high gold content?It's as if Kong Yingda, an old pedant, has been beaten.

"Zunzao, let's go!"

He waved his hand grandly,

"May Kong Aiqing make great achievements and make further progress!"
