Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 160 The Learning of the Mind was Born, Killing My Way (6k)

Ying Ning begged Qin Chuan to build a nest for Jade Bird to heal her injuries.Qin Chuan agreed.It just so happened that there was an old plane tree in the prison yard of Pegasus Ranch.

Qin Chuan built a nest for it himself, thinking, "Plant a phoenix tree to attract the phoenix. The blue bird is also considered a very noble bird."

The bird's nest built by Qin Chuan is very beautiful, and Ying Ning likes it very much.

Ying Ning then begged Qin Chuan that she also wanted a bird's nest.

Qin Chuan naturally did not agree, he felt that he had given too much indulgence to Ying Ning's education, and if he grows up to be so foxy, that's fine.

He can even teach monkeys, and Ying Ning, who is half-human and half-fox, naturally can also teach.

Qin Chuan then taught Ying Ning seriously.

at night,

The shadows move the wall, and the moon is in the sky.

Qin Chuan taught Ying Ning a poem about the bright moon. The poem was very simple but full of artistic conception.

"Yingning, read with me."

"I didn't know the moon when I was young, and it was called a white jade plate.

Suspect Yaotai mirror again, flying in the blue clouds.

The immortal has two feet hanging down, and the osmanthus tree is so round.

The white rabbit smashed the medicine and asked who to eat with?
The toad eclipses the round shadow, and the bright night is already disabled.

Yixi fell to Jiuwu, heaven and man were clear and peaceful. "

There are four lines in this poem, but it's very sad, Qin Chuan didn't teach her.Qin Chuan hoped that Ying Ning would always be happy.

When Qin Chuan was teaching Ying Ning, the little blue bird was beside him in line with the beat.

Ying Ning is very smart, so he will remember it as soon as he hears it.

She recited the poem with a crisp voice, and the rhythm of the little blue bird was just right.

One fox and one bird really have a tacit understanding.

And the little blue bird seems to like this poem very much.

Qin Chuan, judging from the mood of his rhythm, he likes the ending sentence the most.

"Heaven and man are clean and peaceful."

The little blue bird obviously planned to stay with Qin Chuan, and Ying Ning liked it, so Qin Chuan named it "Qingfeng."

There is another young person in the family.

Qingqing has more water than green, but it is still green.

Qingxuan Sword is also spiritual.

The name Qingfeng also has a background.There is a story in Liaozhai that the protagonist is called Qingfeng, but in that story, she is a beautiful and intelligent fox.

Now this Qingfeng is a little blue bird.

Many strange women in Liaozhai are foxes. Qin Chuan sometimes wonders, does Pu Songling think that all the lovely and beautiful women in the world are turned into foxes?

In Liao Zhai, foxes are usually not the vixen that ordinary people think of. They have many profound ways, can know fate, are smart and beautiful, yet cute, and have the cunning of foxes. They are all very beautiful images and impressive.

After Qin Chuan finished teaching Ying Ning, the clerk from Pegasus Ranch brought a message.

"My lord, there is a message from Mr. Jiang in the academy, asking you to go to the academy to give him a class tomorrow. If you go to the academy tomorrow morning, someone will come to pick you up."

"Okay, I know."

The people in the ranch were more in awe of Qin Chuan than they were curious.

After all, the Pegasus Ranch was under Shendu's nose, and soon they got the news that Qin Chuan had offended the emperor severely, so everyone didn't dare to get too close to the six-headed champion.

It's just that I don't dare to offend.

That was the No. [-] Scholar who won six grades in a row, and all the saints shouted together during the scientific examination.

There are also scholars in the families of the petty officials.

I was afraid that I would offend the great master of Wenqu who descended from the sky, and make my relatives and friends not go well in the imperial examination.

...

...

Taoshan rises suddenly between the Weishui River and has the potential to soar into the sky.And the academy is under Taoshan Mountain, which has experienced rain and wind.

There is a trickle on Taoshan Mountain, which nourishes all things. From the bottom of the mountainside, there are gradually vegetation and trees. Moose and other animals drink water by the stream, birds and other birds fly around the mountain.

When Qin Chuan came here, a sentence suddenly appeared in his heart,
"In the late spring, the spring clothes are ready, five or six crowns, six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, singing and returning."

There are many peach blossoms on Taoshan.

There are also many peach blossoms in the academy.In addition to peach blossoms, there are also plum trees.The peach blossoms are pink and tender, and the plum blossoms are pure white, like a beautiful woman on a spring outing, swaying and falling with the wind, shy.

Come here, poetic and picturesque, it is self-evident.

At this moment, outside the academy, many carriages were parked.

Qin Chuan arrived, so a teacher from the academy came to welcome him.Teaching is the lecturer of the academy.Qin Chuan followed the instructor to a big stone ping.

On the way, he chatted with the teacher, and only then did he know who the target of the lecture was today.

It turned out that the Shinke Scholars came to the academy to attend classes for a period of time, and then decided whether to enroll in the academy or not.

Right now there are still two places in the academy.

If you take the exam at that time, you can enter the academy after passing the exam.

The academy can't help coming and going, if you get bored in it and want to come out to be an official and concentrate on your official career, no one will stop you.

Today is the first class for these new scholars.

Gu Tinglin's pseudonym in the academy was Jiang Shan, and he was known as Master Jiang.

His classes are the most popular.

Now his class will be taught by Qin Chuan.

If it's other teaching, I'm afraid I can't take on the heavy responsibility. As for the other two deputy mountain chiefs, they haven't given lectures for a long time.

But the substitute was Qin Chuan, and everyone was convinced.

If you are not convinced, it will not work.

All the sages of the test will sing together, and the palace test will directly state the first thing in the world, and at the end there will be a sentence "Your Majesty wants to contradict".

Scholars in ancient and modern times have never been so crazy.

Therefore, some good people gave Qin Chuan the title of "Mad Saint".

Ordinary scholars, at most, have a nickname of Kuangsheng. When Qin Chuan comes here, even if he is crazy, he has to add a holy word.

It is even more powerful than the ancient great sage Chu Kuang Jieyu.

Three hundred Xinke Jinshi, from the first class to the end of the third class, sat down under the stone ping one by one.

The stone flat is very large, and it doesn't look crowded at all.

They sat very upright.

I heard that the first class today was taught by Mr. Jiang from the academy himself. He was the youngest of the three deputy chiefs of the academy, and also the most mysterious.

It is said that he studied heaven and man, classics and history collections, military books and calendars, and all schools of thought have a glimpse of them.

It's a real genius.

Of course they were curious about such a mysterious and legendary figure.

But when the lecturer came out, they couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"It's him." All the Xinke Scholars exclaimed in their hearts almost at the same time.

If the lecturer is not Mr. Jiang, then it can only be him.

It must be him!

Qin Chuan's current status is very sensitive, and any private school in the capital of God is not suitable for him to give lectures.But the academy is definitely an exception.

The academy can be entered by wind and rain, but not by imperial power.

When Qin Chuan walked to the stone platform, it was much worse than Yaotai on Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, but here, Qin Chuan felt at ease.

Just like the same tomb, in the Martyrs' Garden, it will make people feel very at ease.

The academy is a place where scholars strengthen each other.

Qin Chuan smiled at the crowd and said, "I won't introduce myself, everyone knows each other."

Under the stone ping, the Xinke Scholars all laughed.

In the bright spring, peach blossoms and plum blossoms sway in the shadow, full of joyful atmosphere.

Qin Chuan said again: "Everyone must be a little curious to see me giving a lecture. The curious thing is what kind of knowledge I want to teach, is it new? Let me tell the truth, I don't have much knowledge."

The No. [-] Scholar who won six yuan in a row, the current Yasheng, actually said that he has no knowledge.

Not only the Jinshi below who took the same subject exam as him, but also the students in the academy who were listening in, couldn't help talking about it.

Qin Chuan looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and when everyone's discussion quieted down, he said slowly:

"I still have some knowledge."

The first sentence is very modest, and the latter sentence shows the conceit of the young Yasheng.

The former is the modesty of being a sage, and the latter is the wildness of being a teenager.

It is worthy of being the world's number one madman.

Someone secretly thought.

Referred to as Shiyikuang.

Qin Chuan didn't know that he had another nickname.

"Today I will talk about "University"."

"University" is the first of the Four Books and Five Classics.All of you here are not born in the examination room, and you are naturally familiar with "University".

It was because of this that Qin Chuan showed how confident he was.

Speaking of "The Great Learning" in front of a group of professionals, could it be possible that Qin Chuan could come up with something new after Neo Confucianism and Zhu Zi?

If they just follow the old rules, it won't do well, and it will be a blow to Yasheng's reputation.

If it goes against Zhu Zi's views, even Yasheng will have to bear tremendous pressure, and even be reprimanded, which will also be a blow to Yasheng's reputation.

It can be said that Qin Chuan's lecture on "University" here is purely thankless.

What's more, there are many masters of Confucianism in the academy. In terms of reputation, they are not as good as Yasheng, but they only study "University". Unless Zhu Zi is resurrected, others may not be able to speak up to them.

Even if Qin Chuan is Yasheng, his actions are more or less suspected of cheating.

The more so, the more everyone looked forward to what Qin Chuan was going to say.

Qin Chuan said calmly:
"The way of a university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be good..."

At this time, Qin Chuan's fellow villager, Huang Meng got up and said: "Yashenggong, this place should be a new citizen, Zhu Zi once made an annotation, and it has been read like this for hundreds of years."

He didn't come here to find fault, but he knew that Qin Chuan was digging a hole here.

He thought that if he asked by himself, it would definitely be better than other giants of science, and the battle would inevitably be fierce.

After all, if he doesn't ask, others will definitely ask.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, and said slowly: "That's Zhu Zi's mistake. This place is indeed a relative. The old version of the pre-Qin period is also a relative."

At this time, everyone was in an uproar.

Qin Chuan is a sub-sage, but Zhu Zi is the founder of Neo-Confucianism, a recognized sage of Neo-Confucianism, and every scholar in the world today is not his disciple and grandson.

Qin Chuan's words are undoubtedly deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

Zhu Zi said that "the way of university lies in the new people".

"The new is to change the old. It is said that it not only shows its own virtue, but also promotes itself and others, so that it can also remove the pollution of its old pollution."

It means that after I have polished my conscience and morality, I will push myself and others to enlighten the people's wisdom and polish the people's conscience and morality.

Qin Chuan obviously does not agree with this view. Starting from Zhu Zi's affinity and new distinction, he actually touches the three cardinal principles of contemporary Confucianism.

"Be clear about morality, be close to the people, and stop at the ultimate good" are the three cardinal principles of Confucianism.

The difference between Qin Chuan's closeness to the people and Xinmin's is to preach Yangming's philosophy of mind and compete with the Neo Confucianist Zhu Zi for the orthodoxy.

The ultimate goal of competing for the right to interpret the three cardinal guides is actually to turn the three cardinal guides into one guideline, that is, to promote conscience.

Today's opening lecture is actually the first public case at the beginning of Yangming's Biography of Mind.

Qin Chuan had prepared Wang Yangming's teaching plans, how could he lose?
In fact, Qin Chuan had no choice but to fight today's battle.Because he found that spreading the seeds of psychology from Journey to the West novels would be very dangerous to him, and he didn't want to be dragged to that inexplicable strange place again.

That being the case, it can only be a showdown.

Controversy over orthodoxy has always been bloody.

Shaozhengmao had a lot to say to his master.

Huang Meng got Qin Chuan to mention something that day, and he cooperated again: "Zhu Zi's explanation of Xinmin has arguments. Gou Rixin, day by day, and day by day. How can Ya Shenggong prove that you are right?"

His tone was a little harsh, and he had the spirit of killing relatives righteously.

And the first time I thought of Zhu Zi's arguments, it is enough to prove that Huang Meng's knowledge is really profound.

A Jinshi thought that it was a lie to hear that Huang Bangyan had a feud with Yasheng.

They are still from the same country.

Some Jinshi thought, "I heard that Huang Bangyan once entered the sky prison with Yasheng. Although he was released without incident, it proves that he is indeed a gentleman. But now his insistence on orthodoxy exceeds his personal friendship with Yasheng. The wind of the ancients."

For a time, people's attitudes towards Huang Meng were polarized.

But they all felt his knowledge and eagerness in their hearts.

Huang Meng's rhetorical question was nothing more than that for other Jinshi, and he had to think slowly.

At this moment, Qin Chuan seemed to be possessed by the sun, and said with a smile: "The country is thousands of miles away, but the people are the only ones who stop. Being a king is only about benevolence. A gentleman is virtuous and virtuous and kisses his relatives, and a villain enjoys his own pleasure and benefits his own interests. These It’s all about being close, and being close means benevolence, and it also has a new meaning, Zhu Ziqiang changed the relationship into a new one, is it possible?”

What he said was the original content in "University", and he did not change the original text.

Zhu Zi changed the original text instead.

After these words, everyone present was speechless.

In fact, Neo-Confucianism has distorted many of Zhu Zi's remarks up to now.But Zhu Zi distorted the meaning of his predecessors and added his own private goods.

The sage speaks in a subtle way, and there is often a dispute over one word.

What is in dispute is the right to interpretation.

Whoever has the right to explain, has the orthodoxy.

That's why countless great Confucian scholars have spent their time digging out words.

This thing is actually very boring.

But there is no way, there is "Self-restraining and Restoring Rituals" from the master.

What's more, there is also a Renaissance in the West.

Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, probably not the case.

There is no such set, but there is also that set. In comparison, since ancient times, it has indeed been very useful.

The Jinshi of Xinke were in an uproar.

But there is no reason to refute it.

They are quite frustrated.

Although the recognition of Qin Chuan, the sub-sage, dropped sharply.

Because it is too big and rebellious.

Qin Chuan scolded the emperor angrily, they didn't think it was treasonous, and they were very excited.

But Qin Chuan dug the foundation of Neo Confucianism, and they instinctively hated it.

Some Jinshi left immediately, and it was difficult to say that Yasheng was deceiving people with lies, but the fact was that they were deceiving people with deceitful words.

There are still some Jinshi left behind.

Most of them came from merchant families, to be precise, they were smugglers from the coastal generation.At the beginning of the imperial examination, merchants were prohibited from participating in the imperial examination.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last.

However, in the former dynasty, merchants could take part in the imperial examination.

But the curve is involved.

That is through the method of attaching or sending a family, that is, when a businessman purchases land and real estate and registers a household registration in the local area, he insists that he is a landlord and doing business is just for fun.On the surface, he participated in the imperial examination as a son of a landlord.

They were quite excited about Qin Chuan's theory because they saw a profitable side.

After Huang Meng finished asking, he sat down and listened carefully.

Qin Chuan continued to talk about the content of "University".

He just launched an attack here at Qinmin, but he didn't storm it.

But the seeds of Xinxue have really been sown.

Psychology!

born!
Qin Chuan felt the blessing of golden luck in the dark, and a gratifying emotion was conveyed from the depths of the academy.

After class, Qin Chuan went home.

He flicked his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

Come and go, come and go.

And an uproar broke out in the academy.

What Qin Chuan said, although very reasonable, is really deviant.

"A wolf's ambition, a wolf's ambition." There are old teachers in the academy, just like the old pedants, they cannot tolerate heresy.

There are also young teachers who disagree.

In the academy, they interpret the sage's subtle words and great righteousness, and practice righteousness, and they may not have over-interpreted the classics in their hearts.

Today's people are not necessarily weaker than the ancients.

The words of the ancients must be right?

Not so.

After all, there are still many young people in the academy.

Gu Tinglin's class is very popular, and he often has non-surprising and endless actions.

But even Gu Tinglin did not have Qin Chuan's move to directly dig the foundation of Neo-Confucianism.

The madness of the sub-sage is not a lie.

He really wasn't just targeting Emperor Liang.

...

...

Not long after Qin Chuan returned to the prison, Gu Tinglin and a middle-aged man came to visit.The man was wearing a mask with the aura of Taoism on it.

Qin Chuan didn't forcibly snoop.

"This is Brother Long Qing."

"Dragon? A real dragon? This surname is rare." Qin Chuan smiled.

Gu Tinglin explained: "So grand."

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "The name is just a code name, as long as you know who it is. Brother Long is here to find something for me?"

Long Qing said: "I'm currently working in the household department, so it's not easy to get to know the gentleman, otherwise I will be suspected of offending the emperor's father. The word Longqing is also a pseudonym, please forgive me."

"Understood, understand."

Long Qing thanked him with a salute, "I heard that Mr. has the talent to know the world, and people's livelihood is difficult nowadays. I don't know if Mr. has a good plan?"

"There is no good strategy, but Brother Long, have you heard of sweet potatoes?"

"I have heard a little bit about it. I heard that the growth rate is extremely fast and the output is quite high. However, after the introduction, the output will drop after a few times of planting."

"If this problem can be solved, what does Brother Long think?"

Long Qing obviously knew something about sweet potatoes, "That is really a great event with immeasurable merit. It is comparable to the ancient emperor tasting five grains."

"That's not as good as it is. But it is indeed a good thing. Lingzhou is now promoting sweet potatoes, and this trouble has been solved. Brother Long can send people to Lingzhou to search for sweet potato seeds, and introduce them to the north and south of the river to see where suitable seeds are. , in times of famine, we can always save more people.”

"Sir, are you serious?"

"Whether it's true or not, Brother Long will send someone to find out."

"I was the one who was rude, Yasheng's words are not false."

Long Qing then asked Qin Chuan some good strategies for governing the country, but Qin Chuan remained silent.

Instead, he left behind a sentence, he was sleepy, and sent Long Qing away.

Gu Tinglin sent Long Qing away and came back soon.

He said: "My friend is of great status, whether you can be useful in the world will be left to his hands in the future."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I'm a useless person."

What he was talking about was a story about Zhuangzi's human world.

Zhuangzi and his disciples saw a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves standing beside the big stream, which was particularly conspicuous.But see this tree: it's a hundred feet thick, thousands of feet high, pointing directly to the sky; its crown is as wide as a giant umbrella, and it can cover more than ten acres of land.Zhuangzi couldn't help asking the woodcutter: "May I ask, master, why has no one cut down such a good wood? So that it has grown alone for thousands of years?" The woodcutter seemed to dismiss the tree, saying: "What is this surprising? ?This tree is a kind of useless wood. If it is used to make a boat, it will sink in the water; if it is used to make a coffin, it will quickly rot; Don’t dry it; if it is used as a pillar, it will be easily eroded by insects. This is a wood that does not grow. Wood that does not grow has nothing to do with it, so it can have such a long life.”

After hearing this, Zhuangzi said to his disciples: "This tree can live forever because of its lack of talent. Isn't it a useless use, doing nothing but doing something for oneself?"

Gu Tinglin shook his head and said: "Brother Liuxian, sometimes you have to know the will of heaven and obey the destiny of heaven. You gave a lecture today, and you are clearly a clever person."

Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said: "My heart is the heart of heaven, my nature is my nature, and my life is my destiny! Keep my heart, cultivate my nature, and practice my life, that's all."

Gu Tinglin laughed loudly, "The madness of the sub-sage, it's true. I was testing you just now. But this brother Longqing is still coming, please give me some advice in the future. By the way, the biography of the great sage What's next?"

Qin Chuan: "I don't have any inspiration for now, so let's put it aside for now."

Gu Tinglin felt a little regretful, but he still understood, "Good writing is not afraid of grinding. The content of your lecture today is very interesting, and I also realized something. If Brother Long Qing hadn't dragged me to find you, I wouldn't have come. And Going to retreat, see you another day."

He floated away, and there was a faint singing voice in the distance:
"Born from nature, the mountains and trees have tasted beauty in the past. Hu Nai handed over the axe, and then the herds drove.

Fortunately, I rest day and night, and I can see the clues.Cultivate and nourish it, so towering that it can be imitated..."

Qin Chuan watched him go away, thinking, "He is a wonderful man."

When he came back from the spiritual platform to preach, he was actually a little touched in his heart.

He has enough Dao rhyme, and Xinxue has already started to preach, but he is only short of inspiration.

But did he think it was really a bad idea?

When talking about university today, it seems like Yangming possesses a body.

Suddenly he realized something.

This is also the reason why Long Qing was asked to leave because he was impatient with using sweet potatoes.

Qin Chuan stayed in the yard and pondered for a long time, and felt that he was only a layer away from the window paper from fully recovering his soul.

Rumble!
It was dusk.

Yin and Yang intersect.

Qingfeng let out a sharp neigh, echoing the thunder.

In Qin Chuan's heart, it was as if a chaos had been split, separating yin and yang, and deriving the way of heaven.

"The spirit platform is self-sufficient in the way of the primordial spirit. Why do you need to look outside for inspiration? It has always been absurd to seek outside things."

He suddenly awakened to the Dao, and a sword light came out of his heart, and he slashed at the Taoist primordial spirit.

Suddenly there is a sword with a heart in the sea, and it cuts the foreign object and cuts itself.

What Guangcheng Taoism, the Taoist rhyme of the philosophers, the spiritual ideas in the world... were all cut off by this heart sword and became foreign objects.

For a time, the sky and the earth were thundering and lightning, as if it was daytime.
