A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Ninety guan is not expensive to buy such a gorgeous woman, which shows that the general is eager to get out of trouble.

The woman glanced at Wang Anshi secretly, thinking that this was a famous official. If she could be his concubine, she would be safe.

Women these days don't have many extravagant hopes. The biggest extravagant hope is stability. If they have children again, they will feel that their life is complete.

Wang Anshi hummed. The woman was rejoicing when she heard him ask: "Where is the lady?"

Wu came later and said, "Official."

"Put her back."

Lao Wang fluttered his sleeves and prepared to go out. Wu said in a low voice: "Official, here's the money."

The transaction is completed, you can give it away as you say?

Wang Anshi said dissatisfied: "I like peace and quiet, that...who is your husband? Tell me."

The woman reported it, and Wang Anshi ordered: "Go and find her husband."

The woman was frightened. Later, a big man came to the Wang family.

"Meet the prince."

The big man is the general who was dismissed from his post, which looks very unlucky.

Wu was listening from behind.

"Take it back with you!"

Wu had a smile on her face and was in a good mood.

Like Sima Guang, Lao Wang only has one woman and has a good reputation outside. Logically, Mrs. Wu should be very happy, but according to the unspoken rules of the day, when you get old and lose your luster, you should find a concubine for your husband.

So she looked for it.

Now her cousin refused to take it, which made her unhappy.

"The villain dare not."

"Someone's coming."

"Mr. Lang."

"Give them some money and send them all away."

"Prince, villain..."

A man's cry came from outside.

The man selling his wife was naturally shameless, but it was a normal move at this time.

So Wu felt a little sad when she heard the crying.

"Let's all go and have a good time in the future."

After a while, footsteps were heard and the door was opened.

Wu said happily: "The official sent it away himself."

This is not something I drove away due to jealousy!

Wang Anshi knew his cousin's little thoughts and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Wu immediately said with a smile on her face: "The official hasn't eaten yet, go and heat up the food...and the wine."

Wang Anshi shook his head, feeling that it was really difficult to understand a woman's mind.

"Official, the provincial examination is about to take place. I don't know where Dalang is. He should also take the imperial examination."

"Um."

Wang Anshi was thinking about Wang Yu who was far away in Guangzhou and said: "I'm afraid this provincial examination will be very lively."

"Why?"

"Everyone knows Shen An's ability to question the sea. I'm afraid it will be a difficult time for Imperial College. There are also those who denounce the current academic style... Shen An will be very worried."

…

Not everyone can be an official. In the past, it was based on background. Later, when it came to recommendation, it was still based on background...

Until the imperial examination was launched, the common people could now have a glimpse of the positions of officials that were previously unattainable.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the imperial examination is the most important invention of China. It alleviated the rigidity of the official system and eased social conflicts.

In the early morning of the day of the provincial examination, there was a row of sergeants in front of the Gongyuan. Vendors gathered around, and various lanterns scattered light, making the surroundings look like daylight.

Gradually, more candidates came, and when there were more people, the vendors started selling.

Zhu Qing also came. He smiled and talked with the candidates on Jiangnan East Road, which was very cordial.

"The Taixue is here!"

Zhu Qing heard the sound and looked over, and saw a group of people coming outside.

Other candidates came in scattered pieces, but Tai Xue was different. I don’t know how they discussed it. They actually gathered first and then came to Gongyuan.

Students in fluttering green clothes came in with their heads held high, making people feel envious.

"So neat!"

People like to rely on strong groups, and Taixue's neat formation looks very powerful.

They have a low stool in their left hand and a small table in their right hand. They carry examination materials on their backs. They are neatly arranged and look pleasing to the eye.

Guo Qian personally led the team. When Zhu Qing saw it, he asked in a low voice: "Tai Xue's imperial examination results are a political achievement for Shen An, but he didn't come?"

"coming."

"where?"

“Eating pot stickers on the side!”

Zhu Qing looked along his arm and saw a young man drinking water not far away.

The hawker was muttering: "Slow down when the order comes, and you won't go in, so why are you so eager?"

Shen An drank water, burped, and then walked over.

"I've seen the imperial edict."

The Taixue students all greeted each other, and the noise in front of the Gongyuan was suppressed.

Everyone was silent, watching Shen An slowly walk over.

"What would he say? Encouragement?"

Zhu Qing said coldly: "He knows how to confuse."

He said hastily: "He has blasphemed the knowledge of the sages like this, but look at those people, they are as excited as if they have seen a great scholar. This is... blasphemy! They are blaspheming knowledge!"

"No, shut up! I want to listen to the imperial edict."

Zhu Qing frowned and glanced at his companion beside him, only to see him clenching his fists and looking over there excitedly.

This is a person who is obsessed with profit, and I don’t even bother to stand side by side with him.

He was just about to retreat, but he remembered Cheng Hao's words, so he gave up the idea, but there was a look of disgust between his eyebrows.

He looked at Shen An.

People around were also looking at Shen An.

This is especially true for the teachers and students of Taixue.

Taixue was a blockbuster in the last imperial examination, what about this time?

The learning method has been spread everywhere, with mixed reviews, and Taixue no longer has an advantage.

So is it possible that Taixue will once again overwhelm candidates from all walks of life in this provincial examination?

Of course not!

Shen An was a little anxious just now, so he took his time and then said to these students: "Go in and let them see the style of my Taixue!"

The students responded with a roar: “Yes.”

For a moment, the morale was like a rainbow. If I posted a question at this time, I would definitely have a flood of literary thoughts.

"It's open!"

Shen An stepped aside, and the Taixue students walked forward neatly.

"What does this look like?"

"army!"

"Yeah, like the army!"

"Shen An actually trained the Taixue students to this point. Fortunately, someone didn't go in, otherwise... he would be so polite!"

Someone said with an envious look: "Are you jealous that you can't get in? Just jealous, why bother saying that you're lucky you didn't get in."

The man sneered and said: "Is so-and-so bad? I have also learned their method of asking questions. Why is so-and-so jealous of them?"

"I'm afraid Taixue is not optimistic this time. No wonder Shen An talks so little."

Shen An stood there and watched the Taixue students go in. Zhu Qing walked around and walked closer and said, "Shen Daizhao, you are so blasphemous to knowledge. Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night?"

When Shen An heard this, he glanced at him and said, "What's the use of learning?"

No one has ever asked such a question before. Everyone around was stunned, and then someone said: "Mingli."

Shen An smiled and said: "You have lived to be twenty or thirty years old and still don't understand?"

Zhu Qing said calmly: "There is a great road in it, and we should pursue it diligently."

Bullshit avenue!

Shen An concealed his disdain and said, "Has he ascended?"

puff!

Some people couldn't help but laugh.

This compares Confucianism to Taoism.

Zhu Qing said seriously: "As long as a person lives, he should understand the world... Otherwise, it will be muddled. How is it different from grass and trees?"

This remark aroused a lot of resonance. At this moment, there was a queue in front of me, and I happened to be free, so someone said: "Where is the universe? How big is it? What is there? What dominates this world... There is a lot of knowledge worthy of our pursuit."

How big is the universe?

Where is the universe?

What's there?

Shen An coughed dryly and said: "We are in the universe. The universe is so big... It can't be boiled in one pot. It's so big that you can't imagine... As for what's in it, we are the things in the universe..."

"What are you..."

Some people think this answer is ridiculous, and when they are about to refute it, they find that they have nothing to say.

"Zhu Qing!"

Zhu Qing is a talented man, and everyone expects him to refute Shen An.

But Zhu Qing just said lightly: "This is sophistry."

Everyone laughed loudly, and then followed the flow of people in.

Yes! This is Shen An's quibble.

But after walking for a while, someone said in surprise: "That's absolutely true!"

"Yes! I am the universe, this state is... so heroic!"

"The universe is so big that it can't be cooked in one pot... It's rare to find something so funny."

"We are the things in the universe, and I am the universe..."

"Why do you feel so small?"

"It's just dust. That's right, there is a saying in Buddhism that one sand of sand is one world, one leaf is one bodhi, which is exactly what Shen Waiting for the imperial edict said."

"If Taoism also has such a realm, it can be seen that Shen Taizhao cultivated both Buddhism and Taoism."

"No, it's Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism."

"..."

"Waiting for a great talent."

A man who was sending his child to take the exam raised his hands in salute and said with admiration: "After listening to Dai Zhao's words, I had a great enlightenment and felt bright in my heart... Many thanks to Dai Zhao for the advice."

Someone else said: "The universe is me, and I am the universe. After hearing this, I felt that all the incomprehensible things in my usual knowledge were suddenly enlightened. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

"Today's words from the imperial edict are like grinding stones for sharpening a mirror. They can smooth away all the confusion in someone's heart. Thank you very much."

"..."

What does this mean?

Shen An was confused, but he could only laugh dryly and couldn't speak.

You guys don’t understand what you’re talking about!

The universe is me, and I am the universe.

The universe is so huge and boundless that if a black hole comes over, it will suck people into scum.

He smiled dryly all the way back home, and just as Zhao Zhongzhen came out of the palace, he said with admiration: "This realm is so profound, Brother Anbei, and my little brother are suddenly enlightened."

"What's the meaning?"

Shen An felt that he had encountered a group of lunatics.

Zhao Zhongzhen shook his head and said: "Heaven, earth and people, there is a great truth in this. If you find out this great truth, you will understand your mind and your nature, and you will gain the great road."

Only then did Shen An realize that these people were pursuing something mysterious and mysterious.

These things were classified in philosophy in later generations, and few people studied them.

But at this time, all readers have to ponder these truths...

He looked at Zhao Zhongzhen with sympathetic eyes and said, "You are so pitiful."

Zhao Zhongzhen said with great admiration: "I am the universe, and this is the greater self, which means that I have to walk with the universe. But the ego is a part of the universe, as small as sand... Follow the rules of the greater self and act accordingly. The things of the ego...this is the Dzogchen..."

Snapped!

Zhao Zhongzhen covered his head and complained: "You hit me again!"

Shen An sighed: "These are just casual remarks by a certain person, and you still regard them as the truth..."

Zhao Zhongzhen couldn't help but admire him: "What you said casually is so reasonable. Brother Anbei, why don't you just concentrate on your studies."

In an instant, Shen An felt that he had become enlightened...
