Hanlin Academy.
Inside the library.
The Hanlin Academy was also clearly divided.
Wang Gen and the others who had studied the study of the mind sat in the innermost part.
The outer circle was the Hanlin Academy, who had heard that his heart was extraordinary and admired him.
The initial twenty or so people had already formed their own faction.
Different from others.
As the person closest to Zhu Bai, Wang Gen had also become the eldest disciple.
This book was mostly written about his conversation with Zhu Bai.
At this moment, Wang Gen was sparing no effort in preaching.
"The second chapter is neither good nor evil.
Q: Why is there no good or evil?
The gentleman says: Like the flowers and weeds in the garden.
The difference between good and evil was just the selfish desires of the human heart.”
Hearing up to this point, Zhu Bai really couldn't bear to listen any longer.
He pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing this, all the Hanlin scholars also stood up and bowed.
Some called him mister, some called him Dr. Zhu, and some called him Prince Xiang.
Wang Gen walked over happily.
"Sir, Wang Gen is arrogant and has summarized some key points of psychology.
I hope you can correct me!"
As he spoke, he passed the book he had compiled to the other party.
Zhu Bai originally wanted to come in and say a few harsh words.
Let them give up on this idea.
He continued to study Confucianism.
But looking at the content, it was written densely.
Beside the main text, there were many notes written by Wang Gen.
Wang Gen must have spent a lot of effort on this book.
Moreover, most of the contents were correct.
Looking at Wang Gen's expectant eyes, Zhu Bai fell silent.
What was harder to reject than a sincere heart?
Zhu Bai silently pointed at a note in the book.
He said slowly.
"This is wrong.
The School of Mind's neither good nor evil was completely different from Buddhism's neither good nor evil.
The monks only cared about themselves, and their hearts were neither good nor evil.
It was important to emphasize that one should not use selfish desires to define good and evil. This method could be applied to the world.”
Wang Gen was pleasantly surprised.
"I knew it. Teacher's mind is not just about making cars behind closed doors!
The study of the heart was the knowledge to rule the world!”
When the other Hanlin heard this, they were also delighted.
Knowledge that could rule the world had a different meaning!
Everyone looked at Zhu Bai with fervent eyes.
In this world, other than Cheng and Zhu Confucianism, there was still a new path to take?
After saying that, Zhu Bai felt a little regretful.
He had always been soft-hearted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to stand out in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
He pleaded for mercy on behalf of the Hanlin Academy.
If not for Zhu Bai, there would be many people here.
He would definitely be punished to appease the students 'anger.
"Sir, I still have a question!"
Soon, the people present called out.
All of them became mister.
The scholars, who were erudite and well-versed in ancient and modern times, were now like students.
He asked Zhu Bai.
This answer was unstoppable.
Someone asked.
"Sir, Confucius said, repay evil with good.
Is there an explanation for the School of Mind?"
Wang Gen answered.
"Sir, I know.
Your study of the mind mentioned that narrow-mindedness is the root of disaster.
It teaches us to be broad-minded and not to hate others!
Resentment would only hurt and torture oneself.”
Wang Gen looked at Zhu Bai expectantly.
She hoped that he would be certain of her.
But Zhu Bai only used a strange gaze to look at him.
It was as if he was looking at a fool.
"Did you miss something?
What I wrote was that a narrow heart is the root of disaster, and an open heart is the door to happiness.
If an enemy provoked you and you didn't retaliate, you would be able to kill them.
Then you will feel resentment, this is the so-called narrow-minded root of disaster.”
After a pause, Zhu Bai continued to explain.
"You can't resent someone who hit you. What kind of logic is this?
You can only hit back hard.
Only by beating others down could one's thoughts be clear and one's heart be free!”
Everyone was enlightened. So he was this broad-minded.
He could only beat others down.
Beat him until he was convinced, beat him until his thoughts were clear.
Only then could it be considered to be carrying out the heart's teachings!
……
It was different from the lively Q A scene at the Hanlin Academy.
The Imperial Censorate was a little deserted.
The imperial examination fraud case came to light.
Liu Bowen heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally washed away his grievances.
While thanking Zhu Bai in his heart, he was also thinking about the situation behind the scenes.
He had vaguely guessed it.
Who was the mastermind behind this?
Yang Xian, who was in front of him, said angrily.
"Teacher, they are too much!
I think this position of the Imperial Examination President was deliberately given to you.
Their goal was to clear their names!”
Yang Xian knew his opponent very well.
There were only two factions in the imperial court.
One was the civil officials of Huaixi, and the other was the civil officials of eastern Zhejiang.
Who was behind this? It was clear at a glance.
Liu Bowen shook his head.
"This matter isn't that simple."
He wanted to persuade Yang Xian to calm down, but he stood up from his seat.
"Teacher, I can't bear it.
That Hu Wei and the others in the Ministry of Central Affairs have always disliked me.
This time, the students wanted to fight with them!”
Yang Xian's confidence came from the Emperor's summons the day before.
Zhu Yuanzhang had said many things to him in the Hall of Wen Hua.
There was no lack of encouragement, and he even urged the mediocre old officials in the Ministry of Central Affairs.
In Yang Xian's opinion, the Emperor was already dissatisfied with Li Shan Chang.
Now that he had the favor of the emperor, it was the best opportunity.
"Yang Xian, you can't beat them.
The Huaixi faction had followed His Majesty all the way here.
If your foundation is not enough, you will easily suffer losses.”
Liu Bowen saw it clearly after several ups and downs.
However, Yang Xian no longer considered himself as a lackey with no official position.
Instead, it was the third-grade political participation in the Ministry of Central Affairs.
Many people in the eastern Zhejiang faction followed his lead.
"Teacher, can you win?
We'll only know after we try."
Yang Xian came over.
He felt that Liu Bowen was old and had lost his fighting spirit.
Facing the aggressiveness of Huaixi's faction, he could only endure.
He was only thirty years old. How could he tolerate this?
As expected, he was right.
Yang Xian had just returned to the Ministry of Central Affairs.
The imperial edict was issued.
Yang Xian was to take charge of Enke's North Field.
Originally, this matter should be handled by Li Shan Chang or Hu Wei Yong.
"Yang Xian, accept the decree!"
His heart was even more determined because of this imperial edict.
After the eunuch left.
Some of the fence-sitters in the Ministry of Central Affairs immediately ran over to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Yang Zheng. His Majesty trusts you very much!”
"Congratulations, Yang Zhengzheng!"
With the imperial edict in his hand, Yang Xian spoke with more confidence.
He said leisurely to everyone.
"My fellow colleagues, we are merely working for His Majesty.
There was no need to congratulate him.
It's just that we've done our best to live up to His Majesty's trust.”
Yang Xian said this, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The others quickly echoed.
"Yang Zheng is right, I am on a mission for His Majesty.”
In the government office not far away.
Hu Weiyong just looked on coldly.
He said disdainfully.
"A villain who gains power."
Lee Shan Chang said leisurely.
"It's fine. I have the favor of the emperor, so let him have his way for the time being.
Didn't His Majesty say to let him urge me, this mediocre old minister?”
Obviously, Li Shan Chang also knew about the conversation in the Hall of Cultural Splendor.
he continued.
"Weiyong, we might as well praise this Yang Xian.”
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong smiled.
"Teacher, good plan.
The higher you climb, the worse you fall."
