Chapter 44 The Heart is the Reason

"Mind is reason"

When Wang Shouren heard these three words, he seemed to be hit by a lightning bolt, and as if a Honglu bell rang in his mind, and endless confusion flashed in his eyes.

Heart is reason?

It turns out to be so simple.

In a trance, he seemed to see himself who had squatted beside the bamboo for seven days in order to investigate things and practice the principles, and finally fell ill.

It seems like I saw myself who was thinking hard every day to explore what the truth is.

Where is the reason?

What is the reason?

These questions seem to have answers at this moment. The way of sages in heaven and earth does not exist in all things, nor does it need to exist in all things.

The truth is not in the bamboo, nor can it be stored in the bamboo, the truth is only in the heart.

The unity of man and nature, and man and nature are one. Since the truth is the way of heaven, why can’t it be the heart of man?

Move with your heart and act with your will. The mind is the reason.

Master Zhu said that keep the laws of nature and eliminate human desires.

No!

Why do we need to preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires?

The laws of nature are human desires!

"Hahaha"

After figuring this out, Wang Shouren burst into laughter without warning, and his eyes were wet as he smiled.

Wu Dongjia and Zhangguin Chen stood beside each other and looked at each other. What happened?

Just because I heard these simple three words, the man seemed to go crazy.

Xia Yuan stood beside him with a complicated face. At this time, the King of Saint gave people a contradictory feeling, and his body was filled with an extremely strange sense of emptiness and satisfaction.

Xia Yuan can be said without exaggeration that he has also appeared in this feeling, and more than once.

Just after hand rushing.

It turned out that at that moment, I actually reached the state of a sage.

No wonder we talk about the time of the wise.

He felt that he had realized it. What a f*ck!

What are these? Look at this person who is laughing wildly.

Although Xia Yuan knew that Wang Shouren was not crazy, he just laughed exaggeratedly like last time, he still wanted to say that this was not the same as the saint I imagined.

Seven years later, Wang Yangming was beaten forty years because he angered the powerful official Liu Jin. He was demoted to Longchang as the postmaster, and also implicated his father Wang Hua and was kicked out of the capital.

Where is Longchang? It is a real wilderness. Liu Jin refused to let him go, and even sent a killer to chase him.

He implicated his father, experienced life and death, and experienced the ups and downs of life, and eventually became Mr. Yangming, who was silently listening to thunder and raising his heart.

Finally, in that place called Longchang, he suddenly realized and became a saint, becoming an existence that could be ranked alongside Confucius and Mencius, and will last forever.

But now, Wang Shouren is not the saint of Wang, and he is not even Wang Yangming.

The three words Wang Yangming have to contact him until next year, that is, the fifteenth year of Hongzhi. This year, Wang Shouren's lung disease relapsed and he returned to his hometown Yuyao to recuperate.

This time he returned home, he would meditate and practice in Yangming Cave in Kuaiji Mountain, practice the art of guidance, and then give himself the nickname that is destined to resound throughout the world in the future - Yangming.

It is now the 14th year of Hongzhi. Wang Shouren is not Wang Yangming, nor is he Wang Shengren. He is far from being open-minded and indifferent as many years later, and he cannot be calm in everything.

So he would use a nearly crazy laugh to vent his emotions at this moment, so as to declare that his years of exploration and many years of doubts were satisfied at this moment.

After staring at Wang Shouren for a while, Xia Yuan concluded that this guy might have to laugh for a long time, so he turned to the boss and the shopkeeper and said, "Let's not pay attention to him, calculate the number of words, and then pay the money, I have to go back."

In a loft in the Hanlin Academy, there were dozens of people sitting here at a glance, each with a desk in front of them, and above the desk were a cover of papers.

This is the paper for the Northern Zhili Provincial Examination this year. It has been copied and renumbered by name. These officials in green robes are the reviewers.

Of course, they also have another identity, Hanlin.

In the eyes of the world, Hanlin is a prominent figure in the court. Once he is ordered to be a Hanlin Academy, it means he has a bright future.

But in fact, the Hanlin people in the Ming Dynasty were also divided into ranks. The top ones, such as Shujishi, did have a great future. They were future pillars of the court and the reserve team of the Ming Dynasty ministers.

But these ordinary little Hanlins have a bad future, they are slow to get promoted and have no money. They are either copying or copying for a day, and they can't even save their political achievements, and the hope for promotion is extremely slim.

If you are more unlucky, you will be transferred to Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing halfway through work, and then you will have no hope.

Not only that, whenever they encounter imperial examinations, these Hanlin people will be arrested and strong men sit in this hall to mark the papers for the candidates.

"Although it is a provincial examination, it is also a major issue and cannot tolerate any carelessness. Everyone, please cheer up."

The speaker is an old man who is over 60 years old and sitting in the middle of the attic.

His name is Li Min. This name may not be very famous in later generations, and even had to be searched online for a while. However, this old man was the top scholar in Chenghua for 20 years. Now he is Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, who is studying for the Eastern Palace.

At the same time, he has another identity, the chief examiner of the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination this year. He has a colleague named Wang Hua, who is also a lecturer in the Donggong Palace and is the chief examiner of the Yingtian Prefecture Provincial Examination this year.

Since the provincial examination ended, Li Min personally ordered dozens of people from the Hanlin Academy as the reviewers and began a few days of paper drafting.

The papers copied by famous papers were first read by the reviewers, and the best papers were finally sent to his desk, and then he reviewed and ranked them.

However, this year there are really few so-called excellent papers. In previous years, the examiners were the busiest people, but this year, Li Min seemed quite leisurely and had time to cheer others up.

Of course he knew the reason, after all, this question was he asked this year.

"It's not done rude."

Picking up the teacup next to him and taking a sip. Li Min looked at the papers on the desk, smacked her lips and said to herself, "It seems that this question is right, and it has stumped a large number of students."

"The question is not difficult, but many students hesitate and dare not think about Mencius, so this problem is mostly a deviation."

At this time, a Hanlin walked closer and was holding a paper in his hand. "Li Yude, look at this test paper. The official thought it was excellent. It was the best I have read."

"Let me see."

Li Min reached out to take it and looked at it carefully. After a while, he had finished reading the eight-part essay of nearly a thousand words.

He put down the paper and asked Hanlin: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Xie's son will also participate in the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture this year?"

"It seems that's the case."

"Mr. Xie was the top scholar in the eleventh year of Chenghua in the late emperor. His son is naturally of the origin of family education. I guess that this paper was mostly written by Mr. Xie's son, and it is normal for you to think it is excellent."

After saying that, Li Min smiled and placed the paper in the empty space of his desk. Then he continued: "Go back and continue reading. If there is nothing better than this one, please click this paper as the first in the Shuntian Prefecture Country Examination this year."
