Chapter 131 I guess it's a joke
Just as they were about to speak, a large group of palace maids walked towards this side.
Several more princes appeared.
It seems that it is Princess Lanling Li Shu and Princess Linchuan Li Mengjiang and others.
Princess Li Shu and Li Lizhen married early, and married at the age of twelve. The son-in-law was the grandson of Empress Taimu and the governor of Yanzhou Dou Huai-chung.
It is said that this princess is also very powerful. She has been smart and talented since she was a child. When she was nine years old, she could already understand her humble and exquisite words and sentences. When she was seven years old, she learned calligraphy and learned all the true meanings of famous masters such as Zhong Yao and Zhang Zhi.
There is no need to say that Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan is also outstanding in talent and knowledge. It is said that she has a good relationship with Wu Mei, the second daughter of the founding hero of the warrior, and the fifth-rank talented man.
It seemed that when they saw Li Shimin, Li Zhi and others here, the two princesses looked stunned and hurried over to salute.
"Li Shu, Li Mengjiang! Have met my father!"
Li Shimin took a look and nodded.
As the end of the year approaches, these young princesses have chosen to go back to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year, and are now gathering with their sisters in the palace.
At this time, I guess I saw so many ministers here, with strange expressions, so I stopped and saw what Li Shimin and others were doing?
"Zhi Nu, tell me!" Li Shimin said to Li Zhi. He didn't have time to pay attention to these princesses, knowing that Li Zhi has been in Jinyang for a while.
The other ministers couldn't help but calm down.
Li Zhi thought for a while and nodded and said, "Father, most of the things that Fang Changshi said were about investigating things. Although he occasionally did poetry, calligraphy and painting, he seemed to be not concerned about such things. He talked more about the ways to investigate things with Zhinu and Huangmei. He said that only by investigating things can one cultivate oneself and manage one's family!"
Li Shimin frowned and said, "I naturally know that he advocates the pursuit of things. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a skeleton plow. Apart from that, he wouldn't have said anything else?"
"Of course... there are still 6 more!" Li Zhi thought for a while and continued to speak: "Actually, when Fang Changshi doesn't talk much, he usually plays at home. Only when he occasionally asks a few questions will he say one. Fang Changshi often says that the more he knows, the more he feels ignorant! So sometimes, he keeps talking!"
"The more you know, the more you feel ignorant?" Li Shimin and others frowned.
"That's true!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "Survey on things and knowing, and knowing things and things are in line. Fang Changshi often said that although he does know a lot about things, there are still many questions that cannot be understood. For example, why objects fall? Why does the moon rise? Why are there day and night? What is wind, rain, thunder and lightning? Are they the gods? Are there only gods? People are the only things in all things?"
"Later, Fang Changshi said: People are not the only one of all things. People are also one of the many things. The Tao is not transferred by people. All things in heaven and earth have their own ways. For example, why do plants grow? Why do flowers bloom? Why can cattle, sheep and livestock grow into groups? The reason why people are human is because they know that they are humans, not God defines humans as humans. The reason why things are things is because they do not know that they are things, nor is they God defines them as things! Later, he said a lot!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others frowned.
The former continued, “He usually tells you all this?”
"Not! In fact, Fang Changshi said very little. It was just that Zhinu was curious, so he asked a few more questions. In fact, he and the emperor girl didn't talk about this at home!" Li Zhi said, thinking about it, and then said, "And later, Fang Changshi said a few terrible words!"
"What terrible words?" Li Shimin said.
When Li Zhi saw a few more people walking towards this side, it seemed to be another princess. He paused before continuing: "When he said this, Fang Changshi was also talking about investigating things. Later, he said that the students of the Tang Dynasty looked down on investigating things, and seemed to have no idea why he studied, so he felt a little angry. So he spoke!"
"He said that the so-called scholars should establish their minds for the heaven and earth, establish their destiny for the living and the people, carry forward their unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages! From this, we can only know why we are learning? What kind of ambition will we show in the future?"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked and their eyes widened.
"Later, Zhinu also thought this sentence made sense, so he asked him why he didn't make peace for all generations? As a result, Fang Changshi smiled and said that he was the second son of the Duke of China and the prince consort. You don't need to do this!" Li Zhi said here, as if he remembered Fang Jun's reaction, so he smiled and said, "Although Fang Changshi said that although he could say it, he could not do it. Of course, Zhinu felt that this was just that he didn't want to do it!"
The scene suddenly became dead silent.
Many people seemed to be frightened when they heard Li Zhi say this.
My throat felt like it was stuck and I couldn't speak for a moment.
Looking at each other.
Fang Xuanling's face was already full of solemnity.
"Stand up your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and stared at Li Zhi tightly.
Li Zhi nodded: "He said, "What is the heart of heaven and earth, and the sages are the counsel of the transformation and cultivation, so that all things can be corrected by their lives. This is the heart of heaven and earth. What can be done with the heart of benevolent and kind-hearted, and the heart of saints of the great king. It's just that for too long, the savior forgot what he said!"
Li Shimin looked at him deeply and said, "I didn't expect that Fang Yiai would have such an understanding at such a young age. It's really... rare! This sentence establishing a heart for heaven and earth is actually a sentence of great good in the world! Fang Aiqing, what do you think?"
Fang Xuanling was also a little excited, but after thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, Jun'er's words are a bit exaggerated, probably a joke. It should not be true!"
"Oh? A joke?" Li Shimin didn't know that he was modest. He continued, "If this statement was just a joke, then what if he was serious? Wei Aiqing, Xiao Aiqing, talk about it!"
Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng looked at each other.
Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty! This sentence of the Prince of Fang is definitely not just a saying! "Mencius. "The Complete Heart" says: "Those who complete the heart know their nature. If they know their nature, they will know the heaven. Keep their hearts and nourish their nature, so they serve the heaven. If they live for the young and old, cultivate themselves to wait for them, so they can establish their destiny! Establish their destiny for the people, carry forward their unique knowledge for the past sages, and open peace for all generations. Such ambition and vision are by no means as simple as saying!"
"I also think so! However, the more I know the words of Prince Consort Fang, the more I feel that I am ignorant! But it is worth paying attention to!"
Xiao Yu also spoke, "The Book of Instructions for Sons once said: A gentleman's behavior is to cultivate one's self-cultivation and frugality to cultivate virtue. It is not indifferent to being able to understand his ambitions, and it is not quiet to achieve far-reaching. A person who studies must be quiet and talented. A person who learns cannot broaden his talents without learning, and cannot achieve learning without ambition. If he is lustful and arrogant, he cannot achieve his essence. If he is dangerous and impatient, he cannot cure his nature! In recent years, the prince-consin of the Fang family has been indifferent to being able to understand his ambitions and study in peace, and must have thought about many questions. So he thought too much, so he felt the more terrible and dared not speak out! Therefore, he became like this now! If there is a sentence to describe it, it is: a sage inside and a king outside!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xiao Yu say this.
Holding his breath, he was silent again.
Even the princesses were stunned.
