Song Lian was familiar with the word 'statecraft' and 'pragmatic.'
"It is what it is. There is no need to whitewash right and wrong, speak out your mistakes, and treat and deal with problems correctly.”
"This is seeking truth from facts!"
Song Lian stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.”
"Most scholars nowadays are just muddling along," said Chen Yong."When they encounter a problem, they will drag it out as much as they can. If they really can't drag it out…"
"Then let's solve the problem.”
"Instead, they don't think about how to solve the problem because it's too troublesome!”
"In the 10th year of Hongwu, the Yellow River flooded and flooded several counties. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and even Kaifeng and Luoyang were flooded and stained with mud.”
"What did the local officials do?”
"They didn't want to block the gap, nor did they want to save the victims. Instead, they went to offer sacrifices to River Earl.”
"Afterwards, Henan's political participation and Kaifeng's prefect impeached each other.”
"The impeachment didn't mention anything about the river. Instead, it criticized the other party for worshipping the wrong River Earl, which led to the misery of the people!”
"In the end, it was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works sent by the imperial court who sealed the breach. It had already been thirty days since the dike burst!”
"Tell me the truth about this matter ~"
"Countless!"
"If we can't change the way the officials in the world value empty reputations and are less pragmatic, it's really ethereal to talk about the Great Harmony.”
Song Lian and Zhu Biao fell silent again.
They were in a high position, so when had they ever heard such a sharp evaluation!
"But…"
"The meaning of the scriptures is the Dao, and statecraft is the art!"
"One Dao leads to a hundred techniques. This is the saying of the Saints.”
" The Headmaster also said that this is what the Sage said," Chen Yong said." The Sage may reach the realm of Dao Comprehension."”
"But have you arrived?"
"This... Never!"
"Since you haven't, why don't you study the art of statecraft on the ground!”
"No!" "That's sophistry," retorted Song Lian.”
"It's precisely because I haven't mastered the Dao that I have to continue studying and studying the scriptures!”
"Isn't it?"
Chen Yong pondered for a moment,"How many Saints have existed since ancient times?" How many people would dare to say that they had reached the realm of one path and one hundred techniques?”
"This... There are only a handful of them!"
"That's right! To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for life, to inherit the ultimate arts of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!”
"Zhang Zai's words have shaken the past and the present, and all the students regard them as the standard!”
"But…"
"May I ask if this teacher's goal is to become a Saint?”
Song Lian hurriedly cupped his hands and said,"The Sage has governed the world. With my talent and knowledge, I naturally wouldn't dare to have such extravagant hopes."”
"If you know that you can't do it, why do you still aim too high instead of discussing the art of governing the country on the ground?”
Upon hearing this, Song Lian was dumbfounded.
Yes, why?
"Because his reputation is empty, he seems to be very logical. If you look closely, you will find that he didn't do anything.”
"This is also the easiest way!”
Zhu Biao finally understood." I saw him build a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, I saw his building collapse.”
"So this sentence also has the meaning of being too ambitious!”
"Some scholars are eloquent when they talk about the scriptures. After that, his reputation rose and everyone bowed. This was the guest of the banquet!”
"Later on, when we let him settle down and stabilize the country, he was useless!”
"This is the collapse of the building."
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Zhu Biao was different from Song Lian. Song Lian was a true teacher who had studied the classics all his life. He was definitely the most outstanding scholar of the Ming Dynasty before Wang Yangming!
unfortunately
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like this kind of person who didn't care about anything. Until now, he was still a fifth-grade Hanlin…
Zhu Biao was influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang and agreed with Chen Yong's words.
"I'm using tea instead of wine.”
The three of them clinked their glasses together. Song Lian was still unconvinced."Although I can't become a Saint, my heart towards the Dao will never change!”
"Old sir, I actually have a question." Chen Yong retorted.”
"One Dao leads to a hundred techniques. This is the saying of the Saints.”
"Why can't he be proficient in all kinds of techniques?”
Upon hearing this, Song Lian stood up.""Sir, how dare you tamper with the words of a Saint?”
" No," Chen Yong shook his head." There are half of the saints in this world, and that is Mister Aota, Liu Bowen."”
"He is the model of a master of all techniques. His scriptures and principles are all comprehended from daily life!”
"Liu Bowen…"
At that time, Song Lian was like a gourd with a saw-off mouth. He drank tea to cover it up, and in his heart, he was thinking about how to refute!
As one of the four scholars of Eastern Zhejiang, he was a fifth-grade Hanlin, while Liu Bowen was a second-grade Imperial Censor!
"A hundred techniques are proficient but one path is clear…"
This was what Chen Yong understood before he transmigrated. Why?
Because Confucius was from Shandong!
Shandong people love to say inverted sentences!
Song Lian pondered for a moment and said,""The Great Dao is in the book."
"There is indeed a great Dao in the book, but most people use the book as a stepping stone and throw it aside after the middle school examination!”
"Isn't it?"
Song Lian pursed his dry lips and his throat moved. He did not know what to say.
After a long time, he stood up and bowed.”
Although he said that, he was still thinking about going back and flipping through the books. He would come back to refute him when he had time!
Listening to their debate, Zhu Biao felt as if he had eaten ice cubes in the middle of summer. He felt refreshed."Shopkeeper Liu!"
"Go and sell a few catties of wine and get some dishes to go with the wine.”
"I have too many things to ask Brother Chen!”
"Yes, sir!"
Shopkeeper Liu had just left when Chen Hong accepted the job. He didn't dare to let the Crown Prince eat outside food.
"Brother Wang, do you have any other questions?”
After hearing the debate just now, Zhu Biao had thousands of words in his mind, but he could not say them out loud. He suddenly thought of a question and said,"I don't know ~"
"What would Xi Xiangmeng say if she saw Zhou Ji's soft appearance?”
"Oh?"
This was an interesting question.
Chen Yong pondered for a moment and said,""Even if I borrow all the water of the West River, it will still be difficult to wash away the shame on my face!”
"Hahaha!"
The three of them burst into laughter, and the tense relationship instantly eased.
"It was really a show back then, but it's real today." Song Lian said.”
"A bystander twice, the heavens leave a cold eye!”
"Wonderful!"
"Wonderful!"
Ding!
