The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 197
He was able to be the prince's teacher, and it was Li Chengqian who personally introduced him in public. Therefore, in just an instant, Wang Shouren's image became unpredictable in the eyes of everyone.

Especially Emperor Qing, he was thinking, could it be because of this mysterious teacher named Wang Shouren that the crown prince has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years?

Wang Shouren stood up and said, "How can I, an idler like me, deserve the title of Teacher Your Highness? But since Your Highness wants me to say a few words, I will boldly say it."

He looked at Zhuang Mohan with a calm expression, and said: "I think that it is better to preserve the laws of heaven and eliminate human desires than to preserve the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires."

For a moment, the whole hall was shocked.

Everyone was surprised to find that this Wang Shouren seemed modest, but when he opened his mouth, he directly questioned and even tampered with the topic of Zhuang Mohan, a leading figure in the Northern Qi literary world.

Between the extinction and the disappearance, there are even two completely different schools of thought.

But at this moment Wang Shouren has already opened his mouth and said: "The heart of compassion is the essence of benevolence; the heart of shame and hatred is the essence of righteousness;

The principle of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom is in the human heart, not outside. It is the human heart that derives the principle of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. If the human heart is destroyed, how can there be heavenly principles? "

Hearing this, the complexions of many scholars present changed, especially Zhuang Mohan, whose expression suddenly became serious.

He stared at Wang Shouren, and said: "The destiny is called nature, and the willfulness is called the Tao. Human nature is the destiny. The destiny is visible, so one should seek the destiny to obtain the original nature, but people's thoughts change, desires flow, and seek from the original." The heart will only collapse in ritual and music, and morality will perish!"

Wang Shouren said indifferently: "Under the way of heaven, people only live by themselves, and don't ask for their own hearts. They will only live in emptiness and sorrow, and move forward numbly.

The meaning of life, the meaning of life, and even the meaning of the world are not given by the outside world, but the meaning added to yourself by your own heart. "

He paused slightly, slightly heavy, and said: "The heart is reason!"

With just a few words, an unprecedented shock rushed to the face, shocking many people in the hall inexplicably.

Zhuang Mohan's expression changed completely. He questioned: "What good is it to the world if you blindly imagine and seek your true heart?"

Wang Shouren said calmly, "Knowledge and action are one."

The simple four words sound like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, especially in the ears of those who have read deeply.

A middle-aged envoy in the Northern Qi Mission couldn't help asking, "What is the unity of knowledge and action?"

Wang Shouren glanced at him, and said: "True knowledge is what you do, and what you can't do is not enough to know.

Knowledge and practice are inseparable.

The truth that is known is the real truth only when it is tested and continuously improved in practice.

I just know it, but I can't practice it, and the truth that can't guide practice is actually not the real truth.

It is necessary to keep in mind that knowing is the idea of ​​doing, and doing is the effort of knowing; knowing is the beginning of doing, and doing is the completion of knowing.Just say one thing, you already have action; just talk about one line, you already have self-knowledge.

Knowledge and action are always one. "

Zhuang Mohan scolded in a deep voice: "False! The laws of heaven are clear, and the sins of the human heart are even more filthy. If you do what you want, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

As the saying goes, no one is perfect regardless of deeds, and no one is perfect, everyone has an evil side. In order to save his younger brother Xiao En, he, Zhuang Mohan, also promised Emperor Qing that he would target the prince at this banquet.

If you really follow what Wang Shouren said, act according to your heart, and unite knowledge and action, then if I want to kill someone, do I have to do it too?
Facing Zhuang Mohan's scolding, Wang Shouren was still very peaceful.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly said: "To conscience!

It must lead to the knowledge of those who know how to be warm and clean, and actually use it to warm clean; to know how to know how to serve and support, and actually use it to support, and then it is called extended knowledge.

Knowing what is good in one’s heart, one should act according to this conscience; knowing that it is not good, one should follow this conscience and refrain from doing it.

With the heart as the reason, to the conscience, you can know the unity of knowing and doing. "

After the words fell, the hall was silent. After hearing this, many people seemed to have faintly realized something.

Zhuang Mohan looked at Wang Shouren, with a trace of emotion in his eyes, a trace of complexity, and a trace of heaviness. Suddenly, his chest felt tight, and he spat out blood, and he collapsed directly on the table in front of him.

The envoys in the Northern Qi Mission panicked when they saw this, and hurriedly stood up and stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang!"

Li Chengqian walked over in a few steps, and with a wave of his hand, all the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty couldn't get close.

If it wasn't for Zhuang Mohan who wanted to attack him and bully an old man who was helpless, there was really no need for him.

After a casual treatment, Zhuang Mohan soon woke up from his coma.

He sat up straight, looked at Li Chengqian's eyes with guilt, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian ignored him, turned to look at the officials in the hall, and said: "My teacher Wang Shouren will go to Nanjing City soon to establish the Jixia Academy. Scholars all over the world, whoever is interested in this, can go there."

Hearing this, the hearts of all the officials in the palace jumped suddenly.

Is this going to start all over again?

They believed that after today, everything that happened in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests would quickly spread throughout the world.

In particular, a new school of thought had begun to take shape. Even Zhuang Mohan, the leading figure in the literary world of the Northern Qi Dynasty, vomited blood and fainted because of this. It can be foreseen how terrible the impact of this matter will be.

The pattern of the world is afraid that it will change because of this.

Emperor Qing stood up with a gloomy expression, turned around and left.

Zhuang Mohan's attack was not only in vain, but also attracted people like Wang Shouren.

In Jixia Academy, the prince probably had such thoughts long ago.

Taking advantage of today's occasion, instead, let a school that has not yet been established and is not well-known spread across the country overnight.

It is true that stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, and it is futile.

The most important thing is that Wang Shouren's so-called mind is reason, leading to conscience, and the theory of unity of knowledge and action, I am afraid that it can really attract a large number of scholars.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's threat directly reached its peak in his mind.

Because he knows very well that only a sufficient number of scholars can really shake his rule.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the reason why the prince hadn't chosen to seize the throne was probably because he didn't have enough team members.

And now, this shortcoming is about to be filled.

Once the prince has accumulated a sufficient number of scholars, it may be time to initiate a palace change and let him abdicate.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing's face became more and more gloomy, and at this moment, he made a compromise on the decision that he could not make for a long time.

Now he can no longer think about the unification of the world, what he needs to think about now is how to keep his precarious throne!

After the banquet was over, Li Chengqian came out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests for a while, when a figure suddenly approached quickly.

"His Royal Highness, please stay for a moment."

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the other party, his extremely clear eyes attracted his attention.

After realizing that the other party was a woman in men's clothing, he had almost guessed the other party's identity.

"You go first, Izumo remember to send Mr. Yangming back."

He ordered Izumo, surprised them, and after saying goodbye to them, he led the woman slowly outside the palace.

"The saintess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the legendary Tianmai practitioner, Kuhe's closed disciple Haitang Duoduo.

It seems that there are really no people in Beiqi, so they sent you here.

So, you came here for Wolf Peach? "
