Zhu Bai did not want to stay in the Hanlin Academy for even a moment longer.
However, the words he said before he left caused the Hanlin scholars to discuss them.
"Everyone, what did His Highness Xiang Wang mean when he left?”
"Yeah, why don't you let us publicize that he's the founder of the School of Mind?”
Wang Gen immediately understood.
"Understood."
Everyone looked at Wang Gen.
"Brother Wang, quickly tell us. You learned the most from His Highness!”
Wang Gen put down his slightly red fingers and said leisurely.
"Do you remember the first sentence that His Highness learned?”
Someone immediately replied.
"I remember that if you want to cultivate your body, you have to cultivate your heart first!”
Wang Gen nodded.
"That's right, Your Highness was able to create the School of Mind.
Naturally, they treated money and fame like dirt.
That was why he said such words before he left.”
When everyone heard this, it made sense.
A Hanlin said hesitantly.
"But are we really not going to say anything?
We don't dare to call ourselves that."
Wang Gen continued.
"That's right, His Highness doesn't publicize it.
However, how could we learn such profound knowledge?
Taking it for himself and seeking fame and fortune for himself?”
The others immediately agreed.
"That's right. We can learn from His Highness.
He was already very satisfied.
How would he dare to take the heart study for himself?”
"That's right!
Your Highness doesn't mind, but we have to clear your name.
Tell the world that the School of Mind was created by His Highness alone!”
Wang Gen nodded.
"That's right!
We are lucky enough to have the opportunity to understand the study of the mind.
Such good knowledge could not be buried.
Everyone must spare no effort to promote it and let more people know.”
However, there were also people who were worried.
"Brother Wang, there are some ideas in the study of the heart that conflict with the current science of the heart.
If it was spread rashly, would it attract the attacks of countless scholars?”
"Yes, there are many contradictions between psychology and science.”
Wang Gen said confidently.
"Everyone, the more you debate, the more you understand!
Outsiders can attack us with the loopholes in the study of the heart.
Wouldn't we be able to perfect it with this?
If they couldn't find a loophole, then it just so happened.
The study of the heart was an impeccable knowledge!”
"Yes!"
"Good!"
When these words left his mouth, the hearts of the twenty or so Hanlin Academy members present all burned with passion.
They had a premonition.
The study of the heart would cause a huge storm in the literary world of Ming Dynasty.
And they were the first batch of people to learn the study of the mind.
They would witness history!
Unlike the excited Wang Gen and the others, Song Lian and Cheng Shang had been listening from the side since the beginning.
"Lord Song, there seems to be a lot to be said for this study of the heart.”
Song Lian nodded.
"The study of the heart is rebellious on the surface.
In fact, there were also some parts that were in line with Confucian knowledge.”
Cheng Shang asked curiously.
"Lord Song, what do you mean?"
Song Lian remembered.
"Confucius once said that it is better to be thrifty than extravagant. It is better to mourn than to die."
Cheng Shang pondered over the meaning of Sage Kong's words.
"Rather than being extravagant and complicated, it's better to be thrifty.
Just like a funeral, instead of being grand in form, it was better to mourn the deceased in pain.”
In the next moment, Cheng Shang understood.
"I see. Confucius 'attitude towards life is to seek peace of mind.
If a person's heart was at peace, the troubles in front of them were just fleeting clouds.
The study of the heart was ultimately still the study of Confucianism.”
Song Lian stroked his beard and nodded.
"That's right, the Xiang Prince is reading the Confucian classics.
The study of the heart was naturally a knowledge rooted in Confucianism.
How could there be knowledge without roots in this world?”
Cheng Shang heaved a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that this matter would not be resolved.
"That's good. After all, this is a dispute of knowledge within the Confucian school.”
They had a very high acceptance of the study of the heart.
Soon, Wang Gen and the others faced a new problem.
Zhu Bai left.
However, the questions in their hearts had not been completely answered.
"Lord Song, you have to think of a way for us.
Call Prince Xiang back!"
Looking at Hanlin, who had returned to normal, Song Lian was also worried.
After a long time, they became like those possessed people again.
Then, he comforted her.
"This old man will go to the main hall tomorrow to invite Your Highness over.”
However, this was not a solution.
Someone asked.
"Lord Song, do you have a way to settle this once and for all?
What if Prince Xiang doesn't come?"
Regarding this, Song Lian was also a little troubled.
"This is a problem. Your Highness came to the Imperial Academy to read books.
If he doesn't come, I won't force him.”
For the sake of the Hanlin in front of him, Song Lian was willing to put down his face and invite Zhu Bai.
However, it was still okay if he did it once or twice.
If he did it too many times, his old face would not be able to take it.
"What should I do?"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Why don't we arrange a position for His Highness in the Imperial Academy?
Let him come here every day!"
When he said that, everyone was delighted.
Then, he frowned.
"That's not right. Entering the Imperial Academy without entering the imperial examinations is against the rules.
Furthermore, Prince Xiang was only nine years old. He was too young.”
The current Hanlin Academy, those old Hanlin.
Although he did not pass the Ming imperial examination.
However, they passed the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty, so it was not against the rules.
For example, Liu Bowen and others in the court were all scholars of the Yuan Dynasty.
Everyone said in distress.
"This won't do, and that won't do.
Why is Your Highness willing to come to the Imperial Academy?"
Wang Gen said.
"Lord Song, why don't we make an exception?
Prince Xiang was a prince with a noble status.
Moreover, he founded the School of Mind, and his knowledge far exceeded that of ordinary people.
You can make an exception and grant him the official position of Hanlin."
Everyone thought for a while and this was the only way.
However, what position to arrange became a problem.
"Why don't we arrange for editing?"
"Not good, not good.
His Highness still wants to explain the study of the heart to us!”
"Then what about the attendant?"
"It's not appropriate. The attendant has to give a lecture to His Majesty.
How could a son give a lecture to his father?”
In the end, Song Lian and Hanlin brainstormed.
He arranged a suitable position for Zhu Bai.
Doctor of the Five Classics.
……
Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in front of him, requesting to make an exception and grant Dr. Zhu Bo the Five Classics.
For a moment, he could not believe his eyes.
"The sun is really rising from the west!
The Hanlin Academy actually took the initiative to make an exception!”
He read the memorial over and over again to confirm that it was true.
There were also more than 20 Hanlin's co-signatures at the back.
"Interesting!"
Towards this request, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally waved his pen.
He wrote the word 'quasi'.
He also couldn't wait to see Zhu Bai enter the Imperial Academy at the age of nine.
"In the future, who dares to say that my Zhu family is uncultured!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial and was delighted.
A nine-year-old Hanlin, this was the first time in the Ming Dynasty.
The target was his son.
Zhu Yuanzhang even specially ordered a small official uniform for Zhu Bai.
Then, he let someone announce the decree.
……
Inside Cining Palace.
Zhu Bai, who heard the news, was stunned.
"What? I'm also a Hanlin!"
