The Master of the Kingdom

Mu Yan and Su Yi initially reached a cooperative intention. After hearing that they could not get the second sweet potato in a short period of time, they were not so anxious.

This matter can't be done in a hurry.

Although it was originally a holiday, Mu Yan was going to play the piano, sing and sing, dance swords, splash ink, and do something to cultivate his sentiment at home. But since they have all come, Mu Yan didn't bother to go back.

In the future, I will cooperate with Su Yi, so Mu Yan will naturally have a chat with Su Yi.

How can the gentry class in this era increase their feelings? Naturally it was talked up.

What is chatting? Talking is not talking about mundane things. What is mundane? Everything that involves the country of life is mundane.

The talk talks about the Zhouyi of Lao Zhuang, the metaphysics, the chicken or the egg in the world, and "I don't know that Zhou's dream is Hu Dieyou, and Hu Die's dream is Zhouyou".

Don’t understand, right? To be simple, find some specious points to debate, which is commonly known as nonsense.

When Mu Yan said he wanted to talk to Su Yi, Su Yi's eyes looked a little strange.

Mu Yan was puzzled: "What?"

Su Yi shook his head: "Nothing."

He thought that only those literary talents could talk, but he didn't expect that Mu Yan, a general, would also talk. But it was also right. At this time, the literati and warriors were very divided, and most of the famous literati were also famous generals. Talking is the hobby of the entire gentry class.

It is said that this talk, like Lao Zhuang's thinking, stems from the decline of the old aristocracy and the negative attitude towards society's disappointment.

The negativity in Lao-Zhuang, the old aristocracy in the Warring States was the negativity of the disintegration of the aristocratic system in the face of wars and disputes; in the history of Suyi, the negativity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties originated from the darkness of official governance in the Eastern Han dynasty, which made the literati begin to doubt what they were learning. .

Wei Shi did not separate Confucianism and Taoism, and the talk at that time did not shy away from state affairs. Even in the Jin Wudi period, when the celebrity Ruan Xiu was asked about the difference between Confucianism and Taoism, he still answered "There will be no difference."

How did the talk develop into a "empty talk" that only talks about metaphysics? That was after the usurpation of the Sima clan, some celebrities who were loyal to the Cao clan were unwilling to go with the Sima clan and were worried about being liquidated, so they paid attention to birth. They become dissolute and behave strangely; when they speak, they talk about their spirits, pretending to be lofty, and paying attention to "don't talk about national affairs."

To put it bluntly, it's just a vague expression of dissatisfaction while escaping from reality and political disasters that may be imposed on the body.

As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, talks became more prevalent, more false and empty, and the reason was simpler. The northerners traveled south, and the nobles of the aristocracy fled to the north like mourning dogs, and most of them lost their wealth. Whether it is political status or wealth, it is inferior to southerners. How could these old aristocrats lose face in front of the Southerners? If you have no money or power, you can only pretend to be coerced.

Talking is the shelf held by the old nobles, and their last illusory dignity.

In this era, there is no Wei Jin, and there is still talk, but talk has not yet developed to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is purely empty talk. The topics discussed in the talks have theories and sometimes events.

Its development is roughly the same as that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was also the dark society of the late Eastern Han Dynasty that made these fragile literati begin to doubt their lives. In addition, the Han Dynasty was the first dynasty that had been stable and prosperous for hundreds of years, and was even re-established after being overthrown by Wang Mang. It can be said that what people want, many literati still respect the Han Dynasty as orthodox.

Under this premise, some people made the same actions as those loyal to Cao literati when Sima usurped the throne.

Su Yi can understand these behaviors, but can't understand why Mu Yan also likes this kind of talk.

Mu Yan is more inclined to generals, and the holy family is Zhenglong, is it just a pure hobby of this entertainment? Or do you simply like to use it to pretend to be a force?

But for talk or something, Su Yi, who had his philosophical back in high school and college, thought that he would not lose to anyone.

Su Yi smiled: "What does Master Mu want to talk about?"

The two of them are just strangers, so naturally they can't talk about state affairs. The format of a talk is to raise a question first, and then two or more parties debate.

Mu Yan thought for a while, and pointed to an undefeated chrysanthemum next to him and said: "The same flower, some people think it is beautiful, some people think it is ugly, then is it good-looking or ugly?"

Su Yi closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "If you open your eyes, the flowers will be bright, and if your eyes are closed, the flowers will be silent."

Su Yi's remarks seemed inconsistent with the questioning, but they actually meant the same thing. Whether everything looks good or not depends on the person himself. As the saying goes, when I open my eyes, the flowers bloom, and when I close my eyes, the flowers fade. This is idealism.

Of course, as a good young man in the new society, Su Yi is certainly not idealism. He studied historical dialectical materialism. But in ancient times, which one is better to pretend? Naturally, idealism is better to pretend. Lao Zhuang was originally idealism. As a Taoist priest, he naturally wanted to talk about idealism.

On the contrary, Mu Yan's argument is a materialist argument. Whether flowers look good or not, it is actually an illusion. In fact, the flower grows like that.

Su Yi was in favor of Mu Yan's point of view, but he still wanted to refute this point.

"When the eyes are open, the flowers are bright, and when the eyes are closed, the flowers are dead" is Wang Yangming's words. The time of Wang Yangming was the time when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism prevailed, and it was the most decadent time of Confucianism. In order to refute the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, Wang Yangming put forward the view that "heart is reason".

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is a thing of the world, and the principle is self-existing, and it is advocated to ask for knowledge. However, Wang Yangming believes that "Firstly, Confucianism should understand things in the world. How can things in the world be qualified? And every plant and tree is reasonable. How to go in the case now? "He believes that we should strengthen our self-cultivation, get rid of evil for good, and unite knowledge and action. My heart is the universe, and the study of things leads to my conscience.

Although Wang Yangming's theory is idealism, it has positive significance in people's self-cultivation. This is also the last time that the declining feudal landlord class has poured water into it. It not only has a huge impact on the modern and modern history of China, but also has a huge impact on the entire East Asian culture.

Su Yi's grandfather respected Yang Mingxue very much, and he devoted himself to studying it after he retired. Although Su Yi feels that most people in the entire Su family have not achieved "information on conscience", but in order to be a good grandson who can get a lot of preferential treatment in the family, Su Yi has also studied Yangming studies deeply.

No, in fact, he is not called research at all, but just rote memorization. You can't expect a science and technology house to study Confucianism so deeply, he just recites some points of view.

Now, he used Wang Yangming University's inquiries to fool the ancients a thousand years later, and instantly he rose to the top.

The ultimate goal of ancient scholars, no matter which school of theory, is to achieve the "three immortality" of "dedication", "contribution of merit", and "establishment of words". Wang Yangming has reached this "three immortal" scholar's role model. Wang Yangming's doctrine, whether you agree or disagree, will never ignore the outright spirit in his remarks.

Su Yi spoke slowly or recites Wang Yangming's classics in an accent, like a poem recitation tone. It doesn't seem to match Mu Yan's question and answer, but it happens to fit the form of mysticism and detour.

As the confidant of the Emperor Zhenglong, Mu Yan is naturally aspiring. Gradually, Mu Yan was attracted by the words spoken by Su Yi. A clear conversation turned into one side to talk and the other to listen, and it didn't need to say more about his victory or defeat.

Su Yi was so dry that he couldn't drink the weird cup of tea soup, so he hurriedly summarized: "What is good? What is evil?"

Come, zoom in and recruit heads! Su Yi turned around and recited two passages of "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Ruofu Feiyu Fei Fei, eyes full of depression, feeling extremely and sad.

To Ruochun and Jingming, the wine will be in the breeze, and he will be happy.

How about asking for the heart of the ancient benevolent, or the difference between the two? Not pleased, not to have compassion.

After the big move was released, the heads were harvested smoothly. Mu Yan's face was already flushed, and his beautiful face was even more delicate. He bent over and said in a very admiring tone: "Heqing admits defeat. The mountain rises up, the scenery stops. Although I can't get there, I want it."

Su Yi is humble.

Moving out Wang Yangming and Fan Zhongyan still can't hold you down. The ancestor's coffin board can't hold down.
