Nanjing Imperial College somehow got the prince’s inscription.
Even if Zhang Zhou didn’t see the look on Liu Zhen’s face when he was offering wine at the Nanjing Imperial College, he knew that this old boy must have a confused look on his face, forcing me not to attend this so-called literary event in Nanjing. As a result, The grand event still inevitably hit me in the face and even gave me a handwritten letter from the prince
Because of the prince's appearance, the lively atmosphere around Mochou Lake instantly rose to a new level.
Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing Military and Horse Division, Jinyiwei, and all the official officials who could be mobilized were mobilized. Even so, they could not withstand the enthusiasm of the scholars who came to Nanjing. The scholars squeezed their heads and wanted to squeeze into the Shuiting. , even if you can’t go up, you still want to watch the excitement from a distance.
After all, Nanjing is different from the capital. It is almost impossible to catch a glimpse of the emperor and his son here.
And the prince still directly appeared in front of people as a businessman like today. He even used the pseudonym "Zhu Shou" before, participated in many literary discussions, and was still in the literary world at the age of ten. Having gained a certain reputation is like "a prince emerging among the people". It is indescribable for ordinary scholars to yearn for Zhu Houzhao.
That’s it.
Across the way, representatives of the Lingnan School, such as Zhan Ruoshui, who were waiting to discuss learning with Zhang Zhou and prepare to establish a reputation for orthodoxy in mind science, were in a rather awkward position.
Originally, they were eager to try and decide on the specific strategy of the theory, but the identity of a prince made them unable to resist. It’s not that they felt that their theory was not complete, it was just that they had a prince to support them. You It’s useless no matter how extravagant your words are, the world will still tend to believe Zhang Zhoufang.
This is tantamount to defeat without a fight.
Zhu Houzhao said, "The Prince of Japan came to Nanjing today to discuss studies on Mr. Zhang's behalf. Mr. Zhang, I don't know if the student has this qualification."
Zhang Zhou said, "The Prince's words are serious, sir." He is just a humble Confucian who dare not think of himself as a teacher."
Zhu Houzhao said with excitement, "When the students were in the palace, they were often taught the meaning of the classics, and now they have also received some teachings on the study of mind. With admiration in my heart, the student wants to become a disciple of the teacher and pursue the advancement of Confucianism in the future. I hope the teacher can give the student this opportunity."
"Ah"
Whoever the prince calls sir cannot be said to be his disciple.
No one dares to claim to be the prince’s teacher.
Mr. is more of an honorific title. After all, only the "Prince Taifu" is the nominal master of the East Palace. Although there are many lecturers in the East Palace, they only teach the Prince. Who dares to say that he You can live as a teacher
But now Zhu Houzhao wants to take Zhang Zhou’s name as a disciple of Xinxue, so the meaning is different. Zhu Houzhao will instantly become the “chief” around Zhang Zhou. "Big Disciple", if Zhang Zhou opens a class to teach disciples in the future, everyone else will be directly the "junior brother" of the prince. In the future, he and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty will be called brothers, even if there is a difference in age.
This kind of good thing is simplyOnce in a blue moon.
Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, don't talk or laugh. I am not qualified to accept the prince as a teacher. If it is purely about academic matters, I am willing to sit down and discuss with the prince."
Zhu Houzhao seems to be like this. He had already known what he was saying, and said, "When the student returns to the capital, he must ask his father for instructions and permission to allow the student to become a master like this famous teacher. Once a teacher, he will always be a teacher. The student is willing to study with his teacher."
Zhang Zhou did not answer the call this time.
But the people watching around the auditorium understood clearly that in fact, the only person qualified to decide who the prince would worship as his disciple was the emperor.
Unless Zhu Youtang dies and the prince ascends the throne, then this kid can do whatever he wants.
With Zhang Zhou and Zhu Youtang as equals, as well as the emperor's admiration for Zhang Zhou and Zhang Zhou's current reputation in the literary world, the emperor seemed to have no reason to refuse and let the prince become Zhang Zhou's chief minister. Disciple, the prince himself has been studying with Zhang Zhou. Otherwise, how could the prince appear in Nanjing
Most people don’t know that the prince ran away secretly, and thought that the prince had been following Zhang Zhou south, but he didn’t. To follow up, the prince went to attend various cultural gatherings before. It can be said that the prince was warming up for his apprenticeship.
Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Today the students know that Mr. Zhang wants to discuss studies with others. The students are bold and want to have a discussion with him on behalf of the teacher. Please give the students this opportunity."
Zhang Zhou glanced at Zhan Ruoshui and found that the person opposite had already turned ashen.
Now it is not only Zhang Zhou who wants to use the prince’s power to argue with them, but also directly let the prince appear on Zhang Zhou’s behalf. No matter how awesome you Lingnan School people are, you have the ability to argue with the prince
p>Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, please excuse me. I also want to listen to the prince's lofty views."
"Okay" Zhu Houzhao was not polite and looked very satisfied, "Student Zhu Houzhao is Mr. Zhang's disciple." Yes, I am honored to discuss Tao with you today based on Confucianism. I do not seek victory or defeat, but only seek to improve my knowledge."
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he said that he was a disciple of Zhang Zhou. , entered the academic forum of academic discussion, with the attitude of a master trying to compete with others.
Zhang Zhou immediately retreated to the viewing platform.
Cheng Minzheng came over and whispered, "Dong Lai Guo, is this okay?"
Zhang Zhou said, "It's okay. The prince has been studying with me for a long time, and he has his own insights into the study of mind. Let him go."
Cheng Minzheng frowned.
If you let a ten-year-old naughty kid discuss things with a group of people who have studied knowledge for half their lives, you are not afraid of embarrassing him
Only Tang Yin, who was following from the side, turned his head to the side in embarrassment. , as Zhang Zhou's "junior brother", Tang Yin knew some "inside information".
Tang Yinxin said, who really dares to challenge the prince? Moreover, my senior brother has already prepared cheat sheets for my nephew, a master who has not yet entered the school. They are probably the essence of Xinxue. The prince is unscrupulous in his pursuit of fameDuan.
The discussion begins.
Zhang Zhou sent a "chief disciple" here. Opposite was the Lingnan School. Naturally, he could not bully the minority. The person who represented the Lingnan School was naturally the "chief disciple" of the late leader of the school, Chen Xianzhang. "Disciple", Zhan Ruoshui is now the leader of the Lingnan School.
Zhan Ruoshui is not even a Jinshi.
In terms of social status, he is very respected, mainly because of his academic attainments, Chen Xianzhang's admiration for him, and the fact that he has visited many famous Confucian scholars, and these famous Confucian scholars also Endorse him and make him famous.
But from the perspective of official status, which is mainly reflected by fame, he is just an ordinary nobleman. He is not qualified to challenge Zhang Zhou at all. They are willing to come, even at all costs. , more because there was a sense of indignation in their hearts, feeling that Zhang Zhou had robbed them of the reputation that should have belonged to them.
They came here for Chen Xianzhang, so they had to go there regardless.
But now Zhang Zhou directly dispatches the prince to discuss learning. It seems that the status was unequal in the first place, and it is even more unequal now.
Academics are not just about reputation, status is also very important. Just like if Wang Shouren had always been just an ordinary Jinshi, his "Yangming Xinxue" would not have become popular among the general public. The highly respected classic Confucianism will not become a generation of academic masters.
This time Zhang Zhou’s Xinxue was promoted so quickly and suppressed the Lingnan School because of Zhang Zhou’s identity. The scholars in the world were noble in name, but they themselves There is still a strong mentality.
"This is Zhu Houzhao, please." Zhu Houzhao spoke for himself.
Zhan Ruoshui said, "I, Zhan Ruoshui."
To proclaim one's vassal in front of an opponent, one is no longer a few levels weaker in terms of momentum, but one has to be submissive.
If Zhu Houzhao insists on saying that my husband and I are the orthodox minds, then Zhan Ruoshui won’t even dare to say anything today, otherwise, he will argue with the prince until his face turns red even if you argue. The people below also think that you have a disobedient heart. From the perspective of morality and etiquette, they have lost.
No matter how you look at it, today is a game with no chance of winning.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "My husband and I are studying mind science, and we don't know much. All I can tell you are some superficial insights. I hope you won't forgive me."
"Yes." Zhan Ruoshui saluted respectfully.
No way.
The prince's identity is too bluffing, and there is no room for resistance.
Zhu Houzhao said, "If you don't want to say it, let me talk about it first. From what I know, the way of Confucianism lies in cultivating the mind and developing conscience, and what we seek is the principle of virtue." ."
Zhan Ruoshui said cautiously, "The master once said that if you understand the principles of heaven every day, you can't do anything wrong with the ancients. This is also the principle of virtue."
This is for both sides to express their respective positions.
The essence of Yangming’s philosophy of mind lies in “leading to conscience”, and ZhanRuoshui's Ganquan School pursues "recognizing the principles of nature everywhere." This view was not proposed by Chen Xianzhang, but by Zhan Ruoshui himself when he was studying with Chen Xianzhang. It was precisely because of this unique insight that Chen Xianzhang discovered that Zhan Xianzhang Ruoshui's academic ability was beyond ordinary people's. While speaking highly of his disciples, he also passed on the mantle of the Lingnan School to Zhan Ruoshui.
Zhan Ruoshui treated Chen Xianzhang with even more respect than he treated his father.
Zhu Houzhao smiled.
He was feeling proud in his heart. He typed this cheat sheet as if he knew exactly what you were going to say and what I was going to say next. Is this a discussion? It was like he was reciting the text according to the script.
Why don’t you say that Mr. Zhang is awesome?
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I think that what you said about recognizing the principles of nature everywhere, although there is a principle of virtue, is based on the principle of virtue." The principle of virtue pursues the principles of nature, which is the principle of nature. In essence, it coincides with the concepts in Neo-Confucianism. It is just a different way of pursuing Neo-Confucianism. Whether it is the intention or the meaning, it does not transcend the scope of Neo-Confucianism."
Zhan Ruoshui was unexpectedly pushed back by Zhu Houzhao.
At first, he only thought of the prince as a way to suppress himself by his identity. But now he realizes that this kid can actually compete with him. Things other than his identity are scary.
The concept of "recognizing the principles of nature everywhere" is actually not difficult to understand. Chen Xianzhang is not a master of psychology. Chen Xianzhang himself is a Neo-Confucianist. Like Wang Shouren, they both discovered in the process of studying Neo-Confucianism Many of the so-called "natural cycles" in Neo-Confucianism are just a contrary concept. There is probably a Zen meaning of "the wind blows the leaves, but the wind has not moved the leaves. The heart is moving." If the heart does not move, the wind and leaves will not return. Will move.
It can be deduced that a person’s mind cannot understand the laws of all things in the world, so even if there are laws in the world, they are not laws.
The so-called everything is reasonable has become a false concept.
Although Zhan Ruoshui’s statement of “recognizing the principles of nature everywhere” also focuses on cognition, it is still about exploring the laws of heaven and does not lead people to pursue virtue.
But Zhan Ruoshui is not a vegetarian. He said, "Zhuangzi said that the most happy person should first respond to human affairs, follow the laws of nature, follow the five virtues, respond to nature, and then adjust the four aspects. Time, harmony, and all things. If there is no response to nature, and if there is no regulation of the four seasons, then all things cannot be achieved."
It means that the laws of heaven are still universal, and only by feeling them with your heart can you feel the existence of heaven. And use this to educate the world.
The so-called Taihe and all things are probably used to include everything in the world
Zhu Houzhao still said calmly, "A gentleman should act according to his position. If he should be rich and noble, he should act accordingly. Being rich and noble, living in poverty and humbleness, living in poverty and humbleness; living in poverty and living in poverty, and living in hardship. A gentleman has a clear mind and is content with all things. He has a clear mind and is calm in everything. "< /p>
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar again.
If Zhan Ruoshui is still a naturalThe argument about theory means that the study of mind must add natural principles in addition to virtue.
But Zhu Houzhao made it clear here that there is no such thing as being unreasonable. As long as a gentleman can stick to the bottom line, even if he does not know what you call heavenly principles, he can still stand in the world. On the contrary, he ignores his conscience for the sake of heavenly principles. , and it is even more inconsistent with the teachings of the saints.
As Zhu Houzhao said, "A gentleman should act according to his position", this is one of the main views of the Doctrine of the Mean in the Four Books.
If you, Zhan Ruoshui, want to quote scriptures, why are you talking about Zhuangzi? I will directly bring out Confucius for you and ask you if you accept it
The debate at the scene has become intense.
On an issue of Xinxue, the two sides exchanged words. Everyone present seemed to have forgotten that this was actually the prince of the Ming Dynasty. He was just a ten-year-old child. What he saw and knew seemed to be better than those who blindly praised Zhang Zhou’s Xinxue. Man, I don’t know how much stronger he is.
The audience present seemed to finally understand why the young prince was qualified to become Zhang Zhou’s disciple, because the prince seemed to have really understood the advanced levels of mind learning.
Otherwise, why would Zhan Ruoshui, the eldest disciple of the Lingnan School who inherited the mantle, be covered in cold sweat
It was because he was afraid of the identity of the prince
If it was because of fear , then you will be afraid when you go on stage, and you will become more calm as the debate progresses.
But now it's obviously the other way around. The more beads of sweat on Yue Bian's head, the more beads of sweat on his head. This also shows that in this confrontation, Zhan Ruoshui was obviously at a disadvantage.
At this time, Sun Che and the three people watching the battle below the steps were dumbfounded.
Following Zhu Houzhao all the way, although Zhu Houzhao has participated in many seminars, but every time Zhu Houzhao's theory is only a few sentences, I thought that Zhu Houzhao is the kind of person who "does the same thing once and for all" "God's ignorant children, now they know that this prince is really stronger when faced with a strong force."
Why didn’t he tell those people about this theory on the way?
If he could explain it in such depth, who would dare to despise him?
Or the prince thinks , there is no need to show your true level when discussing martial arts with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals
Zhu Houzhao stood on the podium and still talked eloquently, "Mr. Zhang taught me that there is no good or disgusting body. Good intentions are caused by evil intentions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and avoiding evil is the pursuit of things. There is no distinction between good and evil, and there is no difference between right and wrong. It lies in the concept of the human heart. Life and death are impermanent, and there is no difference between good and evil. It is precisely because of the conscience that it is selfless, and it is precisely because of the beauty of dedication that it becomes a model of supreme virtue. I just have some superficial opinions, and I hope you can understand them."
At this point, Zhu Houzhao turned back. Go to the viewing platform and salute Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou and others also stood up. Except for Zhang Zhou, everyone around them quickly returned the gift.
At this moment, Zhan Ruoshui was standing there, but he didn’t know what to say
It wasn’t that he didn’t have the theory to play with Zhu Houzhao, but because he also felt that this kid had something to say. It makes sense, and the other party is still the prince, ifIf he is not completely sure that he can defeat the other party, he will not dare to speak casually.
Take a step back.
Even if he could defeat the prince, would he have the courage to say it?
As a judge, he would suffer in such a large-scale debate, because he knows that in this world Among the "reasons", there is a "difference between superiority and inferiority". As a minister, if you argue with the prince, you will be at a moral disadvantage. The prince of heaven and earth is your teacher, and the prince is equivalent to the "jun". If you do it for you Mr. Wang went to argue with you, which in itself violated a taboo in Confucianism.
While maintaining Confucian orthodoxy, he is also destroying it
How can people recognize his theory?
So Zhan Ruoshui stands in a dilemma. If you don't care about the situation, you will lose; if you don't know how to respect the prince, you will lose.
Lose-lose.
The beads of sweat on Zhan Ruoshui's forehead also showed that he could not abide by his heart and would still be disturbed by external objects.
Wait until Zhu Houzhao arrived at his seat.
Zhang Zhou came out and smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Chen Baisha's theory is highly respected by me. In the process of perfecting my mind, I also benefited from Chen Baisha's academic guidance. Such a great Confucianism, I have no chance to do so." It’s a pity to meet each other”
“Ah”
The people present were in an uproar again.
Zhang Zhou actually took the initiative to praise Chen Xianzhang
You also said that your own psychology has received some enlightenment from Chen Xianzhang’s theory
This is your chief disciple. Gain back your face and let the world know that Zhang Zhou's philosophy of mind is the orthodox one, but you seem to insist on devaluing yourself.
Zhan Ruoshui said, "I admire Academician Zhang's understanding of Confucianism."
Even Zhan Ruoshui dare not say now that Chen Xianzhang's theory of mind is more important to Zhang Zhou's theory of mind. It serves as a link between past and future.
But after what Zhang Zhou said, at least the face of the Lingnan School was saved. If not for Zhang Zhou’s words, the school would have disbanded before he even returned to Lingnan.
If you lose in terms of learning, you still have the support of the prince on the other side. Everyone in the world knows that your psychology is just a variant of Neo-Confucianism, a hybrid, so what qualifications do you have to Guangmen sect
Zhang Zhoudao "There is no right or wrong in academic opinions, nor is there any distinction between good and evil. It is the model pursued by Xinxue. As the saying goes, there are no academic factions in this world. They are all just for the study of Confucianism. Your Excellency has great opinions. I'll give you the opportunity. I have also learned a lesson." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
