When Wang Zhuangyuan returned to his room to write a book, he called the eldest son, Shouren, out to entertain guests again. Wang Shouren came here happily, intending to listen to the teaching of the new champion Cui Shixiong.
Because Cui Xie did not understand the art of war, they could only talk about scriptures. Wang Shouren taught the book "Book of Rites". Cui Xie taught his younger brother, but teaching mediocrity is not the same as teaching genius. He didn't dare to fool people with the water that was not full at the bottom of his bottle, so he started talking about the four books. .
Cui Xie was used to teaching his younger brother and the two students, so he answered this question smoothly, and he was no longer nervous.
However, the way to teach geniuses is different from that of ordinary people. Wang Yangming is not the kind of person he learns to study for exams, but a person who sincerely seeks knowledge and seeks truth. Seeing that Cui Xie's speech was no different from the imperial examination guide book his father brought back, he listened to it, so he took the initiative to ask: "I just saw the breathing diagram drawn by Cui Xie, which seems to be similar to what an ordinary Taoist alchemist said. The methods of rest and health are different.”
Cui Xie said with a smile: "Sit still to recuperate, breathing in and breathing out Qi is the Taoist method of seeking longevity. My method of nourishing Qi does not seek longevity, but only seeks physical fitness and vitality, so it is necessary to nourish Qi while moving. Look at those practicing meditation' Breathing shhhhhh' is also to expand the chest and lungs, spit out the old and absorb the new, the breath in the body is deep, and the body is naturally healthy. This method of running and practicing Qi, I can move my limbs and bones after breathing, and the blood vessels, muscles and bones are bathed in you. Inhaling the fresh air, the body will naturally be stronger."
In fact, it's not just jogging for fitness, but mainly because he gave the running breathing method as a gift.
Wang Shouren thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Zhu Zi said that when people die, the qi is scattered, then people are born with natural qi and shape, and it can be beneficial to bathe in the qi between heaven and earth." He asked again: "Zhu Zi Yun's principle is survival. In the qi, there is no difference between the qi and the qi. It should be the principle that the qi controls the qi, and the qi carries the li, and the two are transported together. If we learn this method of nourishing and breathing, and bathing in the qi of heaven and earth, we can also teach Does the human body understand the principles of heaven and earth?"
Tsk tsk, worthy of being a saint! Running a step can rise to the height of the principle of heaven and earth! After he passed through, the sixteen-year-old didn't have this consciousness!
Cui Xie couldn't help sitting upright, gave up his low-end running training method, and followed him to talk about philosophy: "This can't be done. Breathing is in the lungs, and understanding is in the heart. If you don't think about it, how can you do it? Do you understand the truth in plain sight? The Great Learning has a saying that you will gain knowledge by examining things, but there is no principle that you will gain knowledge by absorbing energy.
"And you have said it yourself, it is the control of Qi, Qi carries Li, and Li and Qi are not completely one. When viewed from the perspective of things, they are integrated into one, but from the perspective of Li, there is a principle in the thing. The reason is the first. Then Zhu Zi replied that Liu Shuwen also said that the principle and the qi are two things. In fact, the principle is the qi first. The qi is born from the principle, but once it is born, the management can't control it. When qi is born, and the shape and quality are completed, the principles they receive will inevitably vary with the deviation of the shape and quality.”
For example, if you are a saint in the future, I can't be.
Cui Xie looked at Wang Shouren fervently, staring at the future sage feeling a little awkward, touched his neck and asked, "Brother Cui looks at me like this, is it because I just said that I was so absurd? "
Cui Xie continued to stare at him inscrutable, like Xu Shao, a famous man in the Three Kingdoms period commenting on Cao Cao, commenting on the future sage with a celestial air: "Brother Wang Xian has a great mind, extraordinary rationality, and a sage atmosphere. I am today. I can still talk to you about the rationality of nature, and thirty years later, there will be no one in the world who can discuss the relationship between heaven and man with Zi!"
After saying that, he sighed and got up to leave, and without waiting for someone to invite Wang Zhuangyuan to come back to see him off, he walked out of the Wang residence with a gust of wind under his feet. He walked with his clothes rolled up and his long sleeves fluttering, posing as an expert outside the world, leaving only the unknown Saint Wang at the door watching his figure fade away.
It feels so good to pretend to be a fairy in front of a saint!
In another 20 or 30 years, Wang Shouren founded Xinxue and became a famous Confucian in the world. How do you feel when you look back on this scene today? At least you have to think that he is a talented person with a sense of sight, right
If this comment spreads out, in another two or three hundred years, won't the person who wrote the biography of Wang Yangming have to put his name on it? He is a disciple of Li Dongyang, the champion in the 23rd year of Chenghua, and he has commented on Wang Yangming when he was young.
Hee hee hee... The corner of Cui Xie's mouth couldn't be pressed down all the way, and his laughter was almost the same as the cry of a little white horse. After commenting on Wang Yangming, he seemed to be a little swollen, and he was thinking about commenting and commenting on Zhu Zhishan, Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Li Mengyang... Those future talents, try to read more textbooks.
Wang Shengren, who was commented on by him, also had some feeling of not knowing what was going on after he returned to the house. He walked to Wang Hua's study and said across the door, "Father, my son really wants to be a saint."
Wang Zhuangyuan heard this, he dropped the pen on the spot, stood up from the table, rushed out in three or two steps, opened the door with a bang, pointed at his son, and asked, "I told you to treat the guests well, what are you making a fuss about? What about He Zhong? You left the guests and ran over to me and told me to be a sage!"
Wang Shouren replied calmly and calmly: "Brother Cui asked me to say goodbye to his father, so he went back first. Just now when he said that I would know the world in 20 years, my father always praised him for his ability to measure and understand. I also feel that He has the ability to know people and has previous knowledge, and his words must have some truth. Father, don't worry, the son is going to study."
He gave a deep salute to the study room and turned to leave, but when he turned around, he seemed to see a piece of drawing paper falling under the table. There were many figures on the drawing, and there seemed to be a house behind it.
However, he was in a hurry to study the science and had no time to look at it, so he left the painting behind and went back to his room. The servants under the porch didn't dare to talk much, leaving his father Wang Zhuangyuan alone to wonder at the "qi" and "reason" that filled the world: Cui Hezhong would not praise his son just to ask him to write a manuscript, right
But he is only a champion and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Cui Xie himself is just like him, and he is still a disciple of Duke Xi Ya. As for his son's lower body and flattery
impossible!
Maybe he really has some way of looking at people, and sees that Shouren will become a great thing in the future? After all, this child is also a bit supernatural. Otherwise, how can he still not speak at the age of five, until he met the monk and said that he was "good boy, but it's a pity to say it" and asked his father to change his name.
Wang Zhuangyuan came to be proud of his eldest son, and he taught him a lesson. In his heart, like Cui Xie, he firmly believed that he would become a weapon in the future - but he did not expect that he would become a sage. So after hearing the excitement that his son wanted to be a saint at first passed, he thought about Cui Xie's comments carefully, and became a little calmer.
Although the saying of "sages" is a bit exaggerated, the focus of Cui Xie's comment should be on the phrase "when one can know the heaven and man". Maybe it's because the two talked about Neo-Confucianism, and his son said some insightful words. Cui Xie is Li Dongyang's disciple.
Wang Zhuangyuan pondered for a while, and decided to press the matter first. He also told his family not to spread the word, closed the door himself, and planned to go back and add a few more stories to Cui Hanlin. Turning around, he found that he was too hasty to get up just now. A few drawings were brought to the ground by clothes. He quickly picked it up, patted it clean, and continued to write his story with a pen.
He carefully revised the part of Cui Xie's appearance several times, added a compliment and a final poem, and wrapped it tightly with oiled paper and cloth together with the drawing, and told his family to send it to Cui's house.
To be on the safe side, he waited for the manuscript to be delivered, and Cui Xie asked someone to return the pens before he called his son and instructed: "Nephew Cui Xian is known for his talents and skills, and he appreciates you very much. Visit his house and ask him for advice if you have any scriptures you don’t understand.”
Wang Shouren replied: "Father's words are very true. I have been busy reading and practicing Qi and understanding the principles of heaven these past few days. I don't have time for a while.
Before Cui Xie arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he brought a gift prepared by his father to visit Cui's house. Cui Xie treated him as politely as he treated his father. The first time he came to the house, he asked him to worship his (grandfather) mother, and also asked his brothers and disciples to come to see him, as if to treat him as his own family.
The two disciples looked at him with bright eyes, and asked him how the scenery outside the pass was, how the Ming army fought with the Tatar soldiers, and when he would leave the pass again, and wanted to go out with him.
Cui Xie said with a smile, "These two children are quite heroic. Can Brother Wang Xian tell them in detail? I will ask them to imagine the situation between the two countries and write an article on the basis of this."
The two uncles didn't dare to say anything. Wang Shengren said with great interest: "In the past, Fan Wenzheng's "Yueyang Tower" and Zhu Zi's "Jiangling House Qujiang Tower" were never seen before. If I can write a good article based on my Liao Liao's words and spread it out, it can be regarded as an anecdote for a while."
In fact, the Cui Zhang brothers have not yet had the Tongsheng test, and Wang Shouren calling them "little friends" is also a compliment. However, since they are students under the champion's sect, it is not too much to call them one level higher.
Seeing that he had a sage filter, Cui Xie felt that what he said was right, and he didn't deliberately mention that these children were all white. He just smiled and said, "Brother Wang Xian is very knowledgeable, and I have never seen the vast grasslands. I was about to listen to my brother."
Wang Shouren was eager to talk, and his eyes swept across the two young masters Zhang and the second son of the Cui family, their eyebrows drooping, holding pen and paper while listening to the notes, inexplicably felt that they were pitiful, so he took himself as an example and encouraged: "Back then When I wanted to go outside the pass, I dreamed that I entered the Temple of General Ma Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and because I thought about the general's exploits, I made up my mind to leave the pass alone. I think they are still young and it is not easy for them to write. Brother Cui can relax and teach them to write a few poems.”
The Zhang family’s two elementary school students counted the number of words. If they could write poems instead of essays, they would be able to write at least 200 less words.
When their teacher Cui heard the word "poetry", the filter was about to shatter, and he reluctantly smiled: "Let's just follow the words of the virtuous brother and let them go this time. These two students have always admired the virtuous brother, and they both serve the country. Zhizhi, I hope my brothers will come and tell them more about the teaching of battle formations and heroic stories, these are all things that I can’t teach them.”
Wang Shouren looked at the two young masters of the Zhang family who wanted to stick to him and follow him home with eager eyes, and then looked at Cui Xie, who was full of trust, and nodded with a sense of responsibility.
He went to Cui's house for a long run, and occasionally met Wang Da Gongzi who came to visit and accompany the little uncles to practice martial arts, Xie Zhenfu who came to visit and invited his uncle's teacher to go out to practice martial arts, and also met from Yulin who came to escort the car to give gifts to celebrate Cui Xie's exam The cousin of the Liu family of the champion. These are all free and easy warriors. Xie Ying is especially a famous person in the world. Even Wang Shengren has heard operas. He can't help but sigh with his father a few times after the incident. people".
Wang Zhuangyuan threw him a set of "Recent Thoughts" co-authored by Zhu Zi and Lu Zuqian, so that he could become a sage with peace of mind and stop changing careers.
Cui Xie was busy with his family visit. On May 27, when the two-month holiday was over, he went to the Ministry of Rites to sell off his leave and officially entered the Hanlin Academy to do his writing.
The author has something to say:
As a warning, the author does not understand science, nor can he read it, so he just copied a few sentences from Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming and reluctantly wrote it.
The content of this chapter in terms of philosophy refers to "Supplement to the Complete Works of Wang Yangming", mainly Wang Yangming's eight-part poem "Yunyuan Feizhutian", the poem is "Meng Ye Ma Fubo Temple Inscription Poem", and Lu Simian's "Neo-Confucian Outline", The content of "Recent Thoughts" is useless, and students who like it can also read it
