It was copied almost everywhere, in the streets.

Someone even added a name to this article, “On Knowing and Doing.”

At this time, in the hut.

One arrived outside the hut in a hurry.

“Sir.”

“Get out!” The man inside said without hesitation.

The man outside had to smile bitterly and say, “Sir, the student is Hu Yan.”

“I knew you were a hoaxer before I told you to get lost!” The voice was full of dislike.

Hu Yan was in a hurry, “Here is an article, specially come to ask for advice from Mr..”

The man in the hut only gasped, “Get outta here! Into your mother!”

Hu Yan: “……”

Hu Yan sighed and was just about to leave.

Instead, the man in the hut added, “Come in.”

Hu Yan then went and returned, cupping an article in his hand, and went straight in.

When he walked in, he saw Li Xiyan sitting with a haggard and exhausted look.

He stared at Hu Yan angrily, as if Hu Yan had a father-killing grudge against him.

“What are you still doing here?”

Hu Yan also did not talk too much, directly said, “This text, sir, you first look at.”

Li Xiyan casually picked up the article, and once he read the theory of knowledge and behavior, he was shocked, and then, he began to look at it in detail.

A moment later, his body trembled, and he muttered under his breath, “Good, good, so it is, so it is actually so ……”

“Heavens …… heavens, no wonder the old man did not think of …… righteousness turned out to be in your heart and mine, poor us even still up and down to seek, but do not know, the world of the great truth, far away in the sky, near the eye. ”

“Wrong, wrong, the old man finally know where the old man is wrong, the survival of the reason of heaven, extinguish the human desire …… human desire is also a kind of heart, is also the heart ah …… suppressed human desire, is not even the heart also extinguished? People have no heart, that and beasts and what is the difference?”

“Wonderful, wonderful ……”

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

Hu Yan’s heart sank at the creepy gaze.

“Finally …… solved a lot of confusion, hey, you this article, sent in time ah! Such an eloquent article, really like a long drought meets sweet rain, the old man originally short three years of life, now …… and long back a cut, it seems to be able to live for one more year. Just ……”

Li Xiyan frowned up, “Just this text, who is the person who made it?”

Hu Yan honestly said, “It was someone …… who found it in that Yang Shiqi s bedroom and immediately transcribed it.”

Li Xi Yan was shocked, “In that case, it must have been taught by that great sage? Damn it, I sigh that I am not Yang Shiqi, so I can’t be taught by that great sage.”

After saying that, Li Xiyan began to pound his chest again.

Hu Yan said, “When visiting Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi’s mouth kept reciting something like ‘To Conscience’, ‘To Conscience’ …… ”

“To conscience?” Li Xiyan’s body was shaken, and immediately widened his eyes again, “Oh my god, oh my god ……I and think about it, I and think about it ……Old man is now considered to be on this, some enlightenment… . to conscience ……”

Hu Yan dead stared at Li Xi Yan, to be honest, he was initially a huge shock, and after this article, as if instantly opened a door with a key, and after that door, it was a vast world.

That vast world made Hu Yan long for it, as if there was nothing in this world more longing than staying there.

This instantly made Hu Yan feel like he had gained a new life of some sort.

Just …… this world …… seems to have only beams and pillars, only a skeleton, only a glimpse of this skeleton, has let Hu Yan worship.

So much so that all he could think about was that there must be countless other things beyond this skeleton that were carved and mesmerizing.

“You sit down.” Li Xi Yan said to Hu Yan.

Hu Yan then knelt down and sat on a futon.

It was only then that Li Xi Yan added, “What is the explanation for this Zhi Liang Zhi (鑷磋壇鐭�)?”

“Students do have some views, mainly by this ‘on the unity of knowledge and behavior’ point of enlightenment.” Hu Yan thought for a moment and said, “The origin of this conscience lies in Mencius, who said: the one who does not learn but can, his conscience; the one who does not think but knows, his conscience. When you are a child, there is no one who does not know how to love his relatives; and when he grows up, there is no one who does not know how to respect his brother. To love one’s relatives is to be kind; to honor one’s elders is to be righteous. There is no other way to reach the world.””

Li Xiyan nodded his head, “Not bad.”

Hu Yan then went on to say, “Just what is the difference between the conscience mentioned by Mencius and the conscience in this unity of knowledge and action?”

Li Xiyan mused, “Conscience is false, practice is real, false and real, that is, the unity of knowledge and practice.”

Hu Yan nodded, “Not bad, this is also the intent of this theory of unity of knowledge and action.”

Li Xiyan then said: “So I was thinking, this conscientiousness of the intention, whether it is in the heart of the conscience, my generation of readers, the practice to achieve the purpose of the conscience to achieve. Thus, the false for the false, the real for the false, the false for the real, mutual reinforcement, with the practice to strengthen our conscience, and with the conscience, to guide the practice of reaching?”

Li Xiyan is worthy of being a great scholar.

If, at first, he was confused by that unity of knowledge and action and mind-as-reason, now with that eloquent article on the unity of knowledge and action, he immediately began to enrich this theoretical system.

When Hu Yan heard this, he rejoiced and said, “Not bad, not bad, that may be it!”

“To, to give, to achieve. This conscience may not be so complicated, but it is just for me to use my actions to achieve or give the direction that my conscience wants to realize. For example, if I have the intention of realizing peace in the world, then doing my best to help the world is to realize my conscience.”

Li Xi Yan laughed out loud, “Yes, that should be it, Ruosi ah, you are worthy of the name of the State Scholar Priest.”

At this time, Hu Yan is no longer the object of being into the mother, Li Xiyan’s attitude towards him is a direct 180-degree turn, not only affectionately called the word Hu Yan, but also a few more points of praise.

“This to conscience three words, really deafening, in my opinion, this is the study that readers should read.” Hu Yan, who was no longer disliked, shook his head and said.

Li Xiyan, on the other hand, said, “I have studied righteousness for my whole life, this life down, but found that it does not make sense, and today I have this knowledge of the unity of knowledge and action, and only then I realized that there are people outside the people, and mountains outside the mountains!”

“So it is not the old man did not read through the book, but this righteousness in the old man’s heart, poor old man’s head, diligently seeking, but it is misguided ah. That great sage, really heavenly beings, according to my opinion, I am afraid that Cheng Zhu is just so.”

Hu Yan heard these words and laughed: “These words can’t be said to the outside world, the outside world has fought to the death over these words.”

Li Xiyan coldly grunted, “We only seek the right path, why do we need to listen to idle words! Ai, from now on, that great sage is my teacher, this person’s learning, is really terrible, if I serve my teacher, I am willing to be an ox and horse.”

Hu Yan said enviously, “If Mr. Li is a cow or a horse, then I have to be his flea.”

“Haha ……” Li Xiyan at this time is to Hu Yan more and more see the right eye, he said with a pleased face: “This to conscience …… you and wait a little. ”

After saying this, he took the four treasures of the study, gently lifted the pen, and slightly contemplated for a moment, and then …… began to put down the pen.

Hu Yan saw, also invigorated, he stood up, watching from the sidelines, sometimes nodding, sometimes saying, “Here the heart of virtue and seeking goodness, is it more appropriate to use the heart of the sages?”

“Right! Right!” Li Xiyan scribbled and continued to write.

This time, the two fell in harmony, one book text, a person in the side on behalf of the finishing touches, the two you a word, I say, the spirit of the uplifting.

Soon, an article was completed.

“This article …… when put out.” Li Xiyan said, “The name of the article is called To Conscience.”

“Good, good.” Hu Yan said, “Mr. This article, enough for me to make up for the shortcomings of the theory of unity of knowledge and action. Mr. great talent ……”

“Where is the great talent, but just picking up the wisdom of others. If it is not that great sage to point out, I am afraid that now I am still in the wrong path, I put out this article to go, not for fame and fortune, just hope that there are more people to learn the doctrine of this great sage, if I can run for that great sage, I am willing to die.”

Hu Yan thought for a moment and said under his breath, “Why not, let’s compile a biography of this great sage.”

Li Xiyan was silent for a moment, then said joyfully, “Is this …… proper?”

Hu Yan then said: “that great sage god dragon see the head and not see the tail, must be an unparalleled wonders, such a sage, is most afraid of their own for fame and fortune tired. He is hidden, but such learning, if it can not be promoted, it is really a pity, you and I simply ban the door to show off, will be this great sage’s learning to perfect some.”

“For example, if this article on the unity of knowledge and action, and this article of Mr. Zhi Liang Zhi Zhi Zhi, are searched together, and if there are any good articles in the future, they will also be searched and ordered to be published as the Transmission of Learning for the study of people in future generations, which would be a great merit.”

Li Xiyan said with slight concern, “I’m afraid that these realizations of ours are going to teach that great sage to laugh his ass off.”

“The Sage must be the most virtuous and saintly of men, how could he blame us?”

The so-called biographies are in fact books for dissemination and study, often by some great scholar, their disciples transcribing his usual learning, and later adding some of the disciples’ understanding of this, for the study of future generations.

For example, the Analects of Confucius and Mencius are actually typical biographies.

Li Xiyan thought for a moment, then laughed: “Haha, wonderful, wonderful, although you and I have not worshipped that great sage as a teacher, but after all, by his instruction, which is not a teacher, but is better than a teacher, although we are not talented and shallow, but the compilation of the book of transmission of the book of study, but it should still be enough!”

“That’s all, the old man continues to write a few more articles based on this knowledge and behavior, the heart that is the reason, and this Zhi Liang Zhi, you are the State Scholarship Priest, the matter of writing a book and making a statement, it’s more convenient for you to come forward.”

“Very good.” Hu Yan nodded his head as he excitedly pinched his beard, so excited that he could hardly restrain himself, and said in a trembling voice, “It is said that there will be a saint coming out in five hundred years, but this is only three hundred years, and a saint is about to come out.”

…………

A copy of the report was sent to the palace.

Zhu Di cried and laughed as he looked at the dispatches.

They say that readers are weak and like to reason.

But who knows, a Nanjing City alone, the readers brawl, just three days, more than seventy cases, and most of them are a swarm of fights, the largest scale of a time, the participants actually have a hundred people.

Yes, thirty-something to beat seventy-something.

Zhu felt a big head.

“Into the motherfucker!” Zhu couldn’t help but curse again, “I really didn’t think that these guys, on the contrary, would have times when they were angry.”

Fang just here Yao Guangxiao, couldn’t help but smile: “Readers usually reason, encountered the reasoning does not work when, or to beat people. That hole saint in the world, traveling around the world, this hit the other school readers are also quite a lot, this Confucius kill less Zhengmao thing, your majesty has heard of it?”

Zhu Di coldly grunted, “Thanks to these people, all day long, teach me to be lenient, dare to think that their ancestors, and me is also the same ah.”

Yao Guangxiao likes to flirt with the readers, after all, he is a Buddhist, but he was silent for a moment, then he said, “On the contrary, that great sage, the poor monk would like to know who it is, this person’s learning, it can be said to be through the sky.”

Zhu was surprised and said, “Just based on his few words?”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Your Majesty must not underestimate these few words, the truth contained herein is truly unfathomable!”

“What’s more, today the poor monk saw that a book of transmission appeared on the market, saying that it was compiled by that great sage’s disciples, Li Xiyan and Hu Yan, and the two articles included in it really taught people to look at it with fear, and to be honest, the poor monk, if he didn’t have a solid Buddhist heart, was afraid that he would also have to be bewildered by them.”

Zhu Di is to catch the focus is not the same, surprised: “Mr. Li and Hu Qingjia have become that what the great sage’s disciples?”

“They call themselves.” Yao Guangxiao said, “Now in Nanjing, claiming to be that great sage disciples of many people, of course …… there are also people in the words of that great sage more than disrespect, just for this, the readers only made a big fuss, you see, this is not a fight?”

Zhu Di couldn’t help but lose his smile, “I also didn’t expect that they would put their lives on the line for this! Can’t understand it, really teach people not to understand, such a great sage is really horrible.”

Said, Zhu Di is looking back to look at also lost Ha Road: “Zhang Anshi those guys, what are doing recently?”

Also Lostha said, “These days …… I heard that it was frying fish.”

Zhu Di fiercely frowned, angry scolded: “he mother, I know they and idle, not good for me to do buy …… writing books, all day long do not do personnel, the should give them more to see that the “Transmission of the book”, may be able to be honest some.”

Also lost ha awkwardly laughed: “His schoolhouse …… is recently …… built almost almost. Said to open the door to do business, no, is to teach learning there.”

Zhu Di heard, anger and all of a sudden put away, happy: “Well well well, finally did a serious thing, I am worried that everyone refuses to pay ah.”

Yiluoha was surprised, “What did you say, Your Majesty?”

Zhu Di coughed before saying, “I’m afraid that those guys, who don’t want to read, can’t afford to send people there.”

Also Lost Ha said, “I guess with the reputation of the Hall of Justice in the first place, the students must have it.”

Zhu nodded, “This matter, have someone keep an eye on it.”

Said, Zhu Di and remembered something, then said: “That Yang Shiqi, sick yet?”

“The eunuch says …… it’s a few points better.”

“How much better?”

“It’s just that …… people aren’t that crazy anymore, they just want to talk a little nonsense now and then.”

Zhu Di nodded and said, “When he is well, summon him into the court, I want to see him in person.”

“Here.”

…………

“Duke, Duke ……”

Zhang San was furious and found Zhang Anshi by the river.

Zhang Anshi is scolding Qusong, kicking him in the ass and cursing, “Into you …… you motherfucker, just because you fry here all day long, and now the fish are gone, can’t you change a place, wasting my gunpowder.”

Qiu Song raised his head and raised his eyes, a pair of dull eyes looking at Zhang Anshi in death.

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi had a little bit of a heart attack, almost forgetting that this fourth brother was prone to emotional instability.

So he laughed again and touched his head, soothingly saying, “Big brother is joking with you, don’t hold a grudge against big brother, big brother has you in his heart.”

Only after saying this did he turn back to look at Zhang San, “What’s wrong?”

Zhang San said, “Someone is stealing business from us.”

After a pause, Zhang San continued indignantly, “Recently, in the bookstore, a batch of books were printed, and they sold very well, and as soon as they were set out, many people went to snatch them up. Your Excellency, I think this is a conspiracy against us, this must be premeditated, Your Excellency, we can’t let it go like this.”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he was furious. How could someone want to compete with him in the eight-legged pen talk?

With a deal this big, nothing can go wrong.

He reached out, “Show me which son of a bitch is ungrateful.”

Zhang San was busy presenting the book.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking also came up, they took a look, and soon discovered that the words inside, they each recognized, but combined together, they were unfamiliar.

Zhang Anshi looked down and was shocked.

This …… this …… first article, on the unity of knowledge and action, is not …… the one he saw at first at Yang Shiqi?

He desperately flipped back, and with that, came another article, “To the Conscience”.

Crap ……

Zhang Anshi pupils dilated, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible is ……

This article …… is actually extremely well written, good not to mention, the most important thing is, this to conscience …… actually and Yangming psychology, basically match.

He …… doesn’t seem to have divulged conscientiousness himself, does he?

At most …… at most those three words have been uttered.

But …… what is this sprawling 4,000 or 5,000 words in front of me?

What’s more, the exposition of this article was so exquisite that Zhang Anshi wanted to think that Wang Shouren was alive.

No way, no way.

You can still play like this?

Zhu Yong watched as Zhang Anshi’s face became more and more ugly, and couldn’t help but say from the sidelines, “A word from you, big brother, and we’ll go and smash that bookstore.”

Zhang Yoking also said, “The one who wrote this book can’t be spared, and if he dares to rob us of our trade, he’s having a hard time with us three murderers, and the four of us brothers won’t agree to it.”

Zhang Anshi s face was green for a while, red for a while, and finally said, “You guys don t get excited …… This may be one of your own.”

“Ah ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “You guys play aside, I’ll take a closer look first.”

Seeing that Zhang Anshi wasn’t in a very good mood, Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking gave an oh-so-subtle cry, set up Qusong and left.

Zhang Anshi stood at the riverside and carefully read this Transmission once more.

At this point, he was almost certain that this was definitely Yangming Xinxue.

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

He put the book away and turned around, only to see Zhang San looking at him deadpan at that moment.

“What should I do, my lord?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Not much, I have to think about it, I’m a little messed up in my mind right now.”

“Oh, got it.” Zhang San nodded, “One more thing.”

“You say.” Zhang Anshi said.

“Isn’t our schoolhouse almost built? But not many …… people have come to enroll in school.”

Zhang Anshi frowned, “Why is this?”

“I went to inquire about it, people who bought the book, said that they go home to read the eight shares of the pen talk is good, why need to come to read.” Zhang San lowered his voice and then said, “There are also people who say that the public’s reputation is not good, come to read …… is the public’s disciples, they are afraid to say it is not good to hear.”

Zhang Anshi became angry and scolded, “Don’t they know that I still have a few tricks up my sleeve? Do they really think they can rest easy by reading my two books?”

Zhang San said, “There are people who have thought about this, but the rumors in the marketplace say that if you go to the academy to study, you certainly can’t learn.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Why are you so sure?”

Zhang San stumbled, “I dare not say.”

“Say it and I won’t hit you.”

Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi’s face, hesitantly said, “They said …… that Gongzi is black hearted, before the sale of the book, surely will not leak out the content of the follow-up of the eight shares of the pen talk, if it is leaked out ahead of time, then Gongzi this eight shares of the pen talk, will not be sold out? So …… just wait for the book.”

“Fuck.” Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but curse, “These damn readers are really chicken thieves, my mind was actually guessed by them, hateful, too hateful!”

Zhang San bitterly said, “Young master, what should our door do next? How about we lie again and say that we are sure that in the academy, we will be able to learn the follow-up of the eight-legged pen talk ……”

Zhang Anshi sneered, “Can not be fooled, these people are ghostly, hey …… the biggest problem in the world, is that there are too many smart people ah, I have to think of another way to do it.”

Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi sympathetically, Gongzi is so uptight, it is really hard, it is heartbreaking to look at the heartache!

Thinking of the public can not fool those readers, Zhang San heart more worried about it, no wonder the public will have to think hard about it, this kind of thing, can hurt the body.

…………

“To the Conscience …… To the Conscience ……”

In a mumbled dreamy voice.

Yancey woke up suddenly.

He sat up violently.

Then looked blankly in front of him.

“I …… I’m …… here,” said Yancey, his gaze first blank, then clear.

He was busy is getting up, and then he saw laid out on the paperwork, his own article.

“Right …… Zhang Gongzi …… Zhang Gongzi …… he …… he …… “Yang Shiqi was trembling all over, he was a little disbelieving.

But ……

Just then, the door slammed open.

Instead, an imperial physician rushed in, none other than Imperial Doctor Xu.

Imperial Doctor Xu is miserable, the successive failure to cure the disease, so that he was whacked by Zhu Di himself a few times not to mention, but also in the Imperial Hospital, was also marginalized.

This time out of the palace clinic, the eunuchs are refusing to come, after all, …… if you go to the nobles to ask for a diagnosis, after all, it is a matter of showing your face, but a district Hanlin, what is there to see!

In the end, this errand, naturally, fell on the usually unnoticed Doctor Xu.

And he couldn’t not go, who had made himself a human abomination.

“You …… you ……”

Yang Shiqi looked at Imperial Doctor Xu similarly, “Who are you?”

“Ya.” When Imperial Doctor Xu looked at Yang Shiqi’s appearance, he was instantly surprised, “Servant Yang, you’ve regained your sanity, ah?”

Instead, Yang Shiqi said, “How many days have I been sick?”

Imperial Doctor Xu rejoiced ecstatically, “Not many days, not many days, but only ten or so days, haha …… haha …… it seems that the old man is using the right medicine …… ”

Imperial Doctor Xu was about to cry, tearfully saying, “The emperor’s heaven is not responsible for the people who have the heart to do it, and this time, he finally didn’t cure the people to death.”

Yancey: “……”

“Quickly, quickly ……” said Imperial Doctor Xu excitedly, “Go to the palace to report the good news, go to the palace to report the good news, this minister Yang was cured by me.”

It did not take long for the palace to have forbidden guards to come, followed by that Han King Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, but also hurriedly beat his horse and came.

He was afraid that Yang Shiqi would be snatched by the people in the palace, and held Yang Shiqi in his arms, “It’s good that you’ve woken up, it’s good that you’ve woken up, quickly say, who is that great sage?”

Yancey: “……”

“Your Highness King Han, His Majesty has said that when Servant Lecturer Yang wakes up, he will immediately enter the palace for an audience without a moment’s delay.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu let out a cold snort and glared at one of the forbidden guards, then said, “That’s good, but it requires the king to personally escort him, no, the king personally invites him into the palace.”

With that said, Yancey was shoved into a carriage.

The carriage sped, a few moments to the noon gate.

…………

In the palace, Zhu Di has just had someone buy a copy of the Book of Transmission.

It’s not an expensive book, and it’s said that Li Xiyan and a few of his fellow travelers, subsidized a lot of silver into it, just to get more people to see it.

Zhu Di turned over, roughly seen the article in the head, he thought for a moment: “I also read a lot of books, this book …… is more interesting than that Cheng Zhu to some.”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, “Yes, this knowing and doing is indeed extremely reasonable.”

“Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi seeks an audience.”

When Zhu Di heard this, he shook his spirit, “He finally woke up, I am still afraid that he is dead, quick, call him.”

Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di, “Your Majesty, could it be that you are probing the identity of that great sage?”

Zhu Di nodded: “Not bad, such a great sage, even if I don’t enlist him as an official in the court, I should know the identity of this person, only then I can rest assured.”

Yao Guangxiao sighed with emotion, “Poor monk these days, in fact, also very curious, such a strange person, if you can not visit and ask for advice, indeed a pity.”

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu led Yang Shiqi to, said, “Father, you see, the son of the court will bring the person, haha …… son of the court this way, can be very hard, in fact, the son of the court also love to read, especially to that great sage, but also and Mr. Li generally, the heart of the heart, speaking of reading …… The children’s minister has also recently had many feelings and heart ……”

Zhu said, “Shut your mouth.”

Zhu Gaoxu: “……”

Zhu Di stared at Yang Shiqi dead in the face, “Secretary Yang, I only ask you, those words, who told you?”

Yang Shiqi, along the way, briefly reviewed what he remembered, and when he arrived in front of Jun, he took a deep breath and said, “It’s Zhang Anshi!”

“Zhang Anshi?” Zhu Di was shocked to hear this.

Zhu Gaoxu: “……”

“How can it be, this kid, his hair hasn’t even grown!” Zhu said, “Is it a mistake?”

Class, really not water ah, tiger’s character how, we all see in the eyes.

In fact, from the point of view of the code, in fact, these two chapters happen to be the most difficult to write, it is difficult to elaborate on the difference between psychology and rationality, and not to have a didactic meaning.

There definitely needs to be a process to this story, otherwise there’s no way to carry the whole thing forward… please …… ask for some monthly votes okay?
