My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 119 The truth comes out

  Almost in the streets and alleys, this article is being copied everywhere.

   Some people even added a name to this article: "On the unity of knowledge and action"

   At this time, in the thatched cottage.

   One person hurriedly arrived outside the thatched cottage.

"gentlemen."

   "Get out!" The people inside said without hesitation.

  The people outside could only smile bitterly and said, "Sir, the student is Hu Yan."

   "I knew you were Hu Yan, so I let you go!" The voice was full of disgust.

  Hu Yan was in a hurry: "Here is an article, and I am here to ask Mr. for advice."

  The people in the thatched hut only said angrily: "Get out! Get into your mother!"

  Hu Yan: "..."

   Hu Yan sighed and was about to leave.

  The person in the hut said again: "Come in."

  Hu Yan went back and forth, holding an article in his hand, and went straight in.

  Walking in, Li Xiyan looked haggard, sitting here exhausted.

  He glared at Hu Yan, as if Hu Yan had a feud with him to kill his father.

   "What else are you doing here?"

  Hu Yan didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly: "This article, sir, please read it first."

  Li Xiyan picked up the article casually, and when he saw the theory of the unity of knowledge and action, he was shocked, and then he began to read it carefully.

   After a while, his body trembled, and he muttered in his mouth: "Okay, okay, so it turned out to be so..."

   "Oh my god... my god, no wonder this old man didn't think that... righteousness is actually in our hearts. It's a pity that we are still searching up and down, but we don't know that the great truth of this world is far away in the sky and close in front of us."

"Wrong, wrong, the old man finally knows where the old man is wrong. Keeping the principles of nature, destroying human desires...Human desires are also a kind of heart, and they are also hearts... Suppressing human desires, wouldn't even the heart be destroyed? Without a heart, how is it different from a beast?"

   "Miaozai, Miaozai..."

   "Quack quack quack quack quack quack..." Li Xiyan laughed loudly, and then laughed wildly again, but he was so excited that even his laughter was deformed, making strange sounds like a drake.

   After reading it several times in a row, he put down the article and then looked up at Hu Yan.

  Hu Yan's heart sank when he saw this menacing gaze.

"Finally... solved a lot of confusion, hey, your article was delivered in time! Such a magnificent article is like a long drought and sweet rain. The old man originally shortened his life for three years, but now... it has grown back. Looks like I can live another year. It's just..."

  Li Xiyan frowned: "It's just this article, who wrote it?"

  Hu Yan said honestly: "Someone... found it in Yang Shiqi's dormitory, and copied it immediately."

   Li Xiyan was shocked and said: "In this way, it must be taught by that great sage? Damn it, I sigh that I am not Yang Shiqi, and I can't be taught by that great sage."

   After saying that, Li Xiyan started beating her chest and falling.

  Hu Yan said: "When I visited Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi kept chanting 'to conscience', 'to conscience'..."

"To a Conscience?" Li Xiyan's body shook, and her eyes widened immediately: "Oh my god, my god... Let me think about it, let me think about it... Now the old man is somewhat enlightened about this... To a confidant... "

Hu Yan stared at Li Xiyan. To be honest, he was shocked at first. After getting this article, he seemed to open a door with a key in an instant, and behind that door was a vast world. .

  That vast world made Hu Yan fascinated, as if there is nothing in this world more exciting than staying there.

   All of a sudden, Hu Yan felt that he had gained some kind of new life.

  It's just...this world...it seems that there are only beams and pillars, and only one skeleton. Hu Yan has already admired it by only peeking at this skeleton.

  So much so that what he was thinking about was that besides this skeleton, there must be countless carved beams and painted buildings, fascinating things.

   "Sit down." Li Xiyan said to Hu Yan.

   Hu Yan knelt and sat on the futon beside him.

  Li Xiyan said again: "This is for conscience, what's the explanation?"

"Students do have some opinions, but they are mainly enlightened by this 'unity of knowledge and action'." Hu Yan thought for a while and said, "The source of this conscience lies in Mencius, who said: those who can do without learning, their good ability Also; those who know what they don’t care about are their consciences. From childhood, all of them know how to love their relatives; and their elders, all of them know to respect their brothers. Kissing is benevolence; respecting elders is righteousness. There is no other, It reaches the world." "

  Li Xiyan nodded: "Not bad."

  Hu Yan then continued: "It's just the conscience mentioned by Mencius, and what is the difference between the conscience in the unity of knowledge and action?"

  Li Xiyan pondered: "Conscience is emptiness, practice is reality, and emptiness is reality, that is, the unity of knowledge and action."

  Hu Yan nodded: "Yes, this is also the original intention of this theory of the unity of knowledge and action."

Li Xiyan said: "So the old man is thinking, whether the original intention of the conscience is to have a conscience in the heart. Scholars of our generation should use practice to achieve the goal that the conscience wants to achieve. Therefore, the false is the real, the real is the virtual, the false is the real , strengthen each other, use practice to strengthen our conscience, and use conscience to guide the achievement of practice?"

   Li Xiyan deserves to be a great Confucian.

  If at the beginning, he was still confused by the unity of knowledge and action and mind as reason, now that he has a great article on the unity of knowledge and action, he immediately began to enrich this set of theoretical systems.

  After hearing this, Hu Yan was overjoyed and said, "That's right, that's right, maybe that's the case!"

"To give, to give, to achieve. This to conscience may not be so complicated. It is nothing more than letting me use actions to achieve or give the direction that conscience wants to achieve in my heart. Just like I have the heart to realize peace in the world, then try my best to help The world is for conscience."

  Li Xiyan laughed loudly: "Yes, that should be the case, Ruosi, you are worthy of the name of the Imperial College's sacrificial wine."

  At this time, Hu Yan was no longer the target of being married, and Li Xiyan's attitude towards him was a 180-degree turn. Not only did he call Hu Yan affectionately, but he also gave him a little more praise.

   "The three words "to conscience" are really deafening. In my opinion, this is the knowledge that scholars should read." Hu Yan, who was no longer disliked, shook his head and said authentically.

  Li Xiyan said: "I have learned the righteousness all my life, but after this life, I found that it doesn't make sense. Today, I learned this knowledge of the unity of knowledge and action, and I just realized that there are people outside people, and mountains outside mountains!"

"So it's not that the old man didn't read the general book, but that the meaning has long been in the old man's heart. The poor old man has a poor book and diligently searched for it, but he has gone astray. That great sage is really a heaven and a man. According to the old man, I'm afraid Cheng Zhu is nothing more than that."

  Hearing these words, Hu Yan laughed: "These words cannot be said to the outside world, because of these words outside, they have already been beaten to death."

  Li Xiyan snorted coldly: "I only seek the righteous way, why should I listen to people's gossip! Hey, from now on, that great sage will be my teacher. This person's knowledge is really terrifying. If I serve my teacher, I will be willing to be a bull."

  Hu Yan enviously said: "If Mr. Li is a cow and a horse, then I have no choice but to be his flea."

   "Haha..." Li Xiyan looked at Hu Yan more and more at this time, and he said with a look of relief: "This is a conscience...you wait a moment."

   After finishing speaking, he took the Four Treasures of the Study, gently picked up the pen, pondered for a while, and then... began to write.

  When Hu Yan saw it, he also cheered up. He stood up, watched from the sidelines, sometimes nodded, and sometimes said: "Is it more appropriate to use the heart of a sage here to seek goodness?"

   "Yes! Yes!" Li Xiyan corrected and continued writing.

   All of a sudden, the two became harmonious, one wrote the essay, and the other edited it on the side. The two talked to each other, and the spirit was uplifted.

   Soon, an article will be completed.

   "This article...should be released." Li Xiyan said: "The name of the article is To Conscience."

   "Okay, okay." Hu Yan said: "Mr. This article is enough for me to make up for the lack of unity of knowledge and action. Mister is a great talent..."

"Where is the great talent, it's just picking up people's wisdom. If it wasn't for the great sage's suggestion, I'm afraid I'm still on the wrong path now. The old man released this article, not for fame and fortune, but just hope that more people can learn from this great sage. According to the theory, if I can run for that great sage, I am willing to die.”

  Hu Yan was thoughtful, and said: "Why not, let's compile a biography of this great sage."

  Li Xiyan was silent for a while, and then happily said: "Is this...appropriate?"

Hu Yan then said: "The great sage who sees the head and sees the end must be a strange person who is not born in the world. This kind of sage is most afraid of being burdened by fame and fortune. He can't come out, but such knowledge, if you can't push it away Guangzhi, it's a pity that you and I simply played against each other to perfect the knowledge of this great sage."

"For example, collect this article on the unity of knowledge and action, and Mr.'s article on conscience, and collect them together. In the future, if there are good articles, they will also be collected and compiled as "Biography and Xilu" for future generations to learn. It is a great merit.”

  Li Xiyan said with a little worry: "I'm afraid that our understanding will teach that great sage to laugh his teeth off."

  "Sages must be the most virtuous and holy people, how can you blame us?"

The so-called biography and study records are actually books for people to spread and learn from. It is often a certain scholar whose disciples copy his usual knowledge, and then add some disciples' understanding of it, so that future generations can learn from it. .

  For example, "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are actually typical biography and study records.

Li Xiyan thought for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Haha, wonderful, wonderful, although you and I have not worshiped that great sage as our teacher, we have been taught by him after all. This is not a teacher, but it is better than a teacher. Although we have little talent, we can compile biography and study records , but it should still be enough!"

   "That's it, the old man continues to write a few articles based on the unity of knowledge and action, the heart is reason, and the conscience. You are the Imperial Academy offering wine, and it is more convenient for you to come forward."

"Very good." Hu Yan nodded, and he pinched his beard excitedly, unable to restrain his excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "It is said that a saint will be born in five hundred years, but it is only three hundred years, and the saint is about to be born gone."

  …

   A copy of the report was sent to the palace.

  Zhu Di looked at these memorials, dumbfounded.

   It is said that scholars are weak and like to reason.

   But who would have known that in the city of Nanjing alone, there were more than 70 cases of brawls between scholars in just three days, and most of them were fought in a swarm. The largest one involved hundreds of people.

  Yes, more than thirty beat more than seventy.

  Zhu Di felt his head was big.

   "His mother!" Zhu Di couldn't help cursing again: "I didn't expect these guys to be angry sometimes."

Yao Guangxiao, who was here just now, couldn't help smiling and said: "Scholars are usually reasonable, and when they don't make sense, they still beat people. When the sage Confucius was alive, he traveled around the world, and there were many scholars of other schools who beat him. Has Your Majesty ever heard about Confucius killing Shaozhengmao?"

  Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Thanks to these people, I have been taught to be lenient all day long, and the ancestors who dare to love them are the same as me."

  Yao Guangxiao likes to tease scholars, after all, he is a Buddhist, but he was silent for a moment, and said: "It's that great sage, but the poor monk also wants to know who it is. This person's knowledge is as good as the sky."

  Zhu Di was surprised and said, "Just based on his few words?"

  Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these few words, the truth contained in them is really unfathomable!"

"What's more, today the poor monk saw a biography and practice record on the market, which was said to be compiled by Li Xiyan and Hu Yan, the disciples of the great sage. The two articles included in it are really shocking. To be honest, the poor If the monks didn't have a solid Buddha's heart, I'm afraid they would also be deceived by them."

  Zhu Di's focus was different, and he was surprised: "Mr. Li and Hu Qing's family have become disciples of some great sage?"

"They claim to be." Yao Guangxiao said: "Nowadays in the city of Nanjing, there are quite a few people who claim to be the disciples of the great sage. Great, look, isn't this a fight?"

  Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that they would work hard for this! I can't understand it. It's really hard to understand. Such a great sage is really terrifying."

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked back and said in disbelief, "What are Zhang Anshi and those guys doing recently?"

  Yi Shiha said: "In the past few days... I heard that they are frying fish."

Zhu Di frowned suddenly, and scolded angrily: "Damn it, I knew they were idle and didn't do good shopping for me... I wrote a book and said that if I don't do human affairs all day long, I should give them to you." If they read the "Biography of Xilu" more, they might be more honest."

  Yi Shiha smiled awkwardly: "His school...has been built recently...it's almost finished. They say they want to open the door to do business, no, they want to teach knowledge there."

  After Zhu Di heard this, his anger was put away again, and he said happily: "Well, well, I finally did a serious thing. I'm just worried that everyone won't pay for it."

  Yi Shiha asked in surprise, "What did you say, Your Majesty?"

  Zhu Di coughed and said, "I'm afraid those guys won't study, and I'm reluctant to send them away."

  Yi Shiha said: "Thinking about the reputation of Justice Hall, there must be some students."

  Zhu Di nodded: "This matter, you are being watched."

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di thought of something again, and said again: "Then Yang Shiqi, have you recovered from your illness?"

   "The imperial doctor said...he's a little better."

   "How much better?"

   "It's just... people are not so crazy, but occasionally want to say a few nonsense."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "When he is well, call him into the court, and I want to see him in person."

   "Here."

  …

   "My son, my son..."

  Zhang San found Zhang Anshi by the river angrily.

Zhang Anshi was scolding Qiu Song, kicked his ass, and said cursingly: "Fuck you...you fucking, just because you bomb here all the time, and now the fish are gone, you can't change another place and waste me gunpowder."

  Qiu Song raised his head and looked up at Zhang Anshi with dull eyes.

  Seeing this, Zhang Anshi felt a little guilty, and almost forgot that the fourth brother's mood is easily unstable.

  So he laughed again, patted his head, and comforted him: "Brother was joking with you, don't bear grudges against him, he has you in his heart."

   After finishing speaking, he looked back at Zhang San: "What's wrong?"

  Zhang Sandao: "Someone competes with us for business."

After a pause, Zhang San continued to say unhappily: "Recently, a batch of books were printed in the bookstore, and they were very popular. As soon as they were put out, many people rushed to buy them. My son, I think this is a conspiracy against us. This must have been premeditated, young master, we can't forget it like this."

  When Zhang Anshi heard this, he immediately became furious. Does anyone want to compete with him for stereotyped writing?

   With such a big deal, nothing can go wrong.

  He stretched out his hand: "Show me, which son of a **** doesn't have eyes."

  Zhang San hurriedly presented the book.

  Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu also came up together. They looked at the words and soon found that they knew each of the characters inside, but they were unfamiliar when they were combined.

  Zhang Anshi looked down and was shocked.

  This...this...the first article, on the unity of knowledge and action, isn't it...the one he saw at Yang Shiqi's back then?

  He flipped back desperately, and then saw another article "To a Conscience".

  Damn it...

   Zhang Anshi's pupils dilated, this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is...

  This article...is actually very well written, so I won't talk about it. The most important thing is that this article is for conscience...It is basically consistent with Yangming's philosophy.

  He...he doesn't seem to have disclosed the letter to his conscience, right?

   At most... At most, I only said these three words.

  But... What's going on with the eloquent four or five thousand words in front of me?

   What's more, the discussion of this article is so subtle that Zhang Anshi thinks that Wang Shouren is alive.

   No way, no way.

   Can you still play like this?

  Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Anshi's face becoming more and more ugly, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, just say a word, let's go and smash that bookstore."

  Zhang Fu also said: "The writer of this book must not be let go. If he dares to steal our business, it will be against us three fiercers, and our four brothers will not agree."

  Zhang Anshi's face was green for a while, then red for a while, and finally said: "Don't get excited... this may be one of our own."

"what…"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Go play while you play, let me take a closer look first."

   Seeing that Zhang Anshi was not in a good mood, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu let out an oh, and left with Qiu Song on their shoulders.

  Zhang Anshi stood by the river and read the "Biography of Xilu" carefully.

  At this moment, he can almost be sure that this is definitely Yangming's philosophy of mind.

   This directly made Zhang Anshi speechless, and pondered for a long time.

  He put the book away and turned around, only to see Zhang San staring at him intently.

   "Young Master, what should we do?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "What to do, I have to think about it, I am a little confused now."

   "Oh, I see." Zhang San nodded: "One more thing."

   "Tell me." Zhang Anshi said.

   "Isn't our school soon to be built? But there are not many people who come to sign up to study."

  Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Why?"

"My little one went to inquire about it. Those who bought books said that it would be good to go home and read the stereotyped essays. Why come to study." Zhang San continued in a low voice: "Some people say that the son's reputation is not good, so come to study." ...they are the son's disciples, and they are afraid that it will not sound good if they say it."

  Zhang Anshi was angry, and scolded: "Don't they know how much I have kept? Do you really think that by reading my two books, you can sit back and relax?"

  Zhang Sandao: "Someone has thought about this, but there are rumors in the market that if you go to school to study, you will definitely not be able to learn it."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Why are you so sure?"

  Zhang San hesitated and said, "I dare not say."

   "Say it, I won't beat you."

Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi's face, and said hesitantly: "They said...Young master is dark-hearted. Before selling the book, he will definitely not leak the follow-up content of the stereotyped pen talk. If it is leaked in advance, then the son's stereotyped Written talk, won't it be sold? So... just wait for the book."

   "Damn it." Zhang Anshi couldn't help cursing: "These damned scholars are really chicken thieves, and my thoughts were guessed by them, hateful, too hateful!"

  Zhang San said with a bitter face, "Young master, what should we do next? How about we lie again and say that we must be in the school, and we can learn the follow-up things of the eight-legged pen talk..."

  Zhang Anshi sneered: "I can't be fooled, these people are ghosts, hey...the biggest problem in this world is that there are too many smart people, I have to think of a way."

  Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi sympathetically. It is really hard for the young master to be so motivated. It makes people feel distressed to see him feel distressed!

  Thinking that the young master will not be able to fool those scholars, Zhang San is even more worried. It is inevitable that the young master will have to think hard about it again. This kind of thing can hurt his health.

  …

   "To Conscience...To Conscience..."

  In the murmur of dreaming.

  Yang Shiqi woke up suddenly.

  He sat up abruptly.

   Then he looked blankly in front of him.

   "I...I am..." Yang Shiqi's eyes were blank at first, and then became clear.

  He hurriedly got up, and then saw his own article on the copybook.

   "That's right... Young Master Zhang... Young Master Zhang... He... He..." Yang Shiqi trembled all over, he couldn't believe it.

But…

   At this moment, the door was slammed open.

  But an imperial physician rushed in, it was Xu imperial physician.

  Physician Xu was very miserable. He failed to treat diseases again and again, so he was beaten by Zhu Di himself several times, not to mention, and he was also marginalized in the Tai Hospital.

   This trip to the palace for medical consultation, the imperial physicians are not willing to come, after all... If you go to consult the nobles, you will show your face after all, but what is there to see in a mere Hanlin!

  In the end, this task naturally fell on the doctor Xu, who was usually ignored.

   And he had to go, who made himself tired of being hated by people.

"you you…"

  Yang Shiqi also looked at Imperial Physician Xu: "Who are you?"

   "Yeah." Seeing Yang Shiqi's appearance, Imperial Physician Xu immediately said pleasantly: "Master Yang, have you recovered your mind?"

  Yang Shiqi said, "How many days have I been sick?"

   Imperial Physician Xu said ecstatically: "Not many days, not many days, but only ten days, haha...haha... It seems that the old man has used the right medicine..."

  Physician Xu was about to cry, and said with tears streaming down his face: "The emperor pays off, this time he finally didn't put him to death."

  Yang Shiqi: "..."

   "Hurry up, hurry up..." Imperial Physician Xu said excitedly: "Go to the palace to announce the good news, go to the palace to announce the good news, this servant Yang was cured by me."

   It didn't take long for the imperial guards to come from the palace. Immediately after hearing the news, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, also rushed over on horseback.

  He was afraid that Yang Shiqi would be robbed by the people in the palace, so he hugged Yang Shiqi: "It's good when you wake up, it's good when you wake up, tell me quickly, who is that great sage?"

  Yang Shiqi: "..."

   "Hanwang Highness, Your Majesty has said that Yang Shidao woke up, and immediately entered the palace to have an audience, without any hesitation."

  After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, glared at one of the imperial guards, and then said, "That's fine, but I need to **** him personally, no, I personally invite him into the palace."

   As he spoke, Yang Shiqi was stuffed into a carriage.

  The carriage galloped to the Meridian Gate in a while.

  …

  In the palace, Zhu Di had someone buy a copy of "Biography and Xilu" just now.

   This book is not expensive. It is said that Li Xiyan and a few people of the same kind have subsidized a lot of money to enter it, hoping that more people can read it.

  Zhu Di opened it, and probably read the articles inside, he thought thoughtfully: "I have also read a lot of books, this book...is more interesting than that Cheng Zhu."

  Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Yes, this unity of knowledge and action is indeed very reasonable."

   "Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi asks to see you."

  Zhu Di listened and cheered up: "He finally woke up, I was afraid that he would die, quickly, call him."

  Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, is it possible to inquire about the identity of that great sage?"

  Zhu Di nodded: "That's right, even if I don't conscript him into the imperial court for such a great sage, I should know the identity of this person. Only in this way can I rest assured."

  Yao Guangxiao said with emotion: "The poor monk has been very curious these past few days. It would be a pity if he couldn't visit such a strange person and ask for advice."

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu brought Yang Shiqi over, and said, "Father, look, I have brought you here, haha... I have worked very **** this journey. In fact, I also love reading, especially for the That great sage, like Mr. Li, is yearning for him, and when it comes to reading... My son has recently had a lot of insights and feelings..."

  Zhu Di said: "Shut your mouth."

  Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

  Zhu Di stared at Yang Shiqi: "Yang Qing's family, I only ask you, who told you those words?"

  Yang Shiqi briefly reviewed what he remembered along the way, and when he arrived in front of the king, he took a deep breath and said, "It's Zhang Anshi!"

   "Zhang Anshi?" Zhu Di turned pale with shock after hearing this.

  Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

   "How is it possible, this kid doesn't even have full hair!" Zhu Di said, "Did I make a mistake?"

   Students, it’s really not water. Everyone can see the character of the tiger.

   In fact, from the perspective of code words, these two chapters are actually the most difficult to write. It is difficult to explain the difference between psychology and Neo-Confucianism without preaching.

   This story must have a process, otherwise the whole story will not be able to connect the past, please... please ask for a monthly pass.

  (end of this chapter)
