The two of them heard something so mysterious and mysterious, as if they were falling into the clouds and mist, and they couldn't figure it out. Li Mu secretly glanced at the expressions of the two of them and thought to himself, I don't believe that you two can dare to ask me? If you ask, wouldn't it look very weird?

ignorance?

Changsun Wuji and Wang looked at each other. How could they not think of what Li Mu wanted, but if they didn't ask clearly, it would be a hundred times today. The two of them looked at each other, both wanting the other to ask and bear this ignorance.

, After a long confrontation, the king was defeated and asked: "Master Hou, I am old and stupid. I really don't understand the truth of this. Please give me a detailed explanation."

Why can't you get over it?

Li Mu secretly thought that he had made a mistake, but his face remained calm. He tried to recall the contents of "The Biography of Wang Shouren", with a calm look on his face, and sighed, "I really didn't expect that Wang Shizhong, who is rich in knowledge, well-read in poetry and books, and comes from a noble family for thousands of years, will...

You can’t even understand such a simple truth!”

Wang blushed and said in a low voice: "It's really hard to figure out. Please let me know for sure."

"Okay, let me just say something simple. Don't say too much. If you say too much, you will become my disciples. It's hard to calculate seniority." Li Mu provoked the king a little, but it was enough. He didn't go too far and continued.

: "The so-called integration of knowledge and action must first be achieved. Within knowledge there is action, and within action there is knowledge. Knowledge and action are the same thing and cannot be divided into two parts. We cannot "know without doing". We hope that students can

After understanding the truth, consciously act according to what you have learned. This is unrealistic, because people have the disadvantage of laziness. If no one guides and regulates their words and deeds, it will be difficult for them to demand themselves."

"This means that 'knowledge' affects 'action', and conversely. 'action' also has an impact on 'knowledge'. If a person does good things every day, even if he does not understand what he is doing, fortunately

No matter where, his morals are not bad. He doesn't need anyone to teach him, he also knows what is right and what is wrong. This is an example of behavior affecting thoughts in turn. The two are mutually exclusive and inseparable.

Knowledge must be manifested in action. Failure to do so cannot be regarded as true knowledge. Knowing is all action, and conscious action is knowledge. This is the mutual relationship between knowledge and action."

As a master of the Ming Dynasty who was proficient in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and took their essence to achieve Yangming's philosophy of mind. Later generations ranked him alongside Confucius, Mencius, Cheng, and Zhu, which shows Wang Yangming's status. Considering the Qing Dynasty's suppression of Han cultural thought, Wang Yangming's

Xinxue can be regarded as one of the peaks of Confucianism. This idea was proposed in the Tang Dynasty, which is definitely advanced.

Changsun Wuji and Wang both received good Confucian education. Although they were not as good as the great Confucians in terms of knowledge, they were not comparable to ordinary people. Li Mu's words pointed out one of Wang Yang's theories on the unity of knowledge and action.

After hearing the important point, that is, the "dialectical relationship between knowledge and action," the two of them thought deeply about the Confucianism they had studied and realized something.

The two of them looked at Li Mu in unison, dumbfounded in their hearts.

Before Li Mu said these words, they all doubted whether Li Mu was teaching sincerely or taking the opportunity to retaliate. But after hearing Li Mu's words, the two of them understood that this time they were acting with villains' hearts again.

Saving the heart of a gentleman. Such a profound truth cannot be compiled on a whim. Li Mu did not preach as bluntly as Kong Yingda did. Instead, he carefully considered and tried his best to let the students understand the knowledge through "action".

',How could this not be taught sincerely?

The two of them stood up at the same time and gave Li Mu a gift. Li Mu quickly got out of the way, saying that he could not afford the courtesy of Changsun Wuji and the king at his age and status.

Li Mu pretended to be surprised, quickly helped the two of them up, and said, "What are you doing? How can I afford it?"

Changsun Wuji sighed: "We both judge the gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. This gift is appropriate." Wang Ye quickly answered: "Who would have thought that under the appearance of the prince's laughter, there is such a thing?

He is truly a gifted genius with a high level of thought, and we can only dream of him."

"It's all just a false reputation." Li Mu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I've never cared about it. People in the world misunderstand me a lot, so it doesn't matter." Li Mu glanced at the expressions of the two of them, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Oh,

You two, I suddenly remembered something and wanted you to do me a favor. Look at this..."

Just as Wang was about to agree, Changsun Wuji suddenly gave him a look, and Wang quickly shut his mouth.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's too late today. If anything happens, let's talk about it another day. It's not a hurry."

"Actually, it only takes a few words to explain it, Uncle Guo, it's like this..."

"Thank you for taking care of the dog. I will host a banquet for you another day. Let's talk about it then." Changsun Wuji interrupted Li Mu and gave Wang another look, saying: "It's getting late, so we'll take our leave.

.You are tired after a long day of work. Take a rest early."

"Uncle Guo, actually"

Li Mu watched Changsun Wuji and Wang hurried away, and cursed in his heart. People said that Changsun Wuji was as cunning as a fox, and he had learned a lesson today. This guy must have noticed that his tone just now was wrong, and guessed that something happened with Li Shimin.

Conflicting. In his position, how could he possibly have a quarrel with Li Shimin over Li Mu, so he simply ran away without giving Li Mu a chance to speak out.

Coming out of the door, the two of them got into their own carriages. The carriages drove side by side. Wang opened the curtain and said to Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, what do you mean by winking at me just now? Li Mu doesn't ask for help easily, so he just sells it.

Wouldn't it be nice to give him a favor?"

"Are you old and confused!" Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Li Mu's current power is only inferior to that of you and me. Look at the way he looked just now, it was obvious that he was angry. Who can

To make him angry? There is no other person except His Majesty. Are you willing to cause trouble for His Majesty for him? You should thank me. If you let him say it, it doesn't mean that he agrees, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't agree. Can't you understand this truth? "

"So that's it." Wang suddenly realized it, and suddenly started to worry again, saying: "But you and I are running away like this, and what should we do if he takes out his anger on the crown prince and his younger brother?"

"Don't worry." Changsun Wuji sighed: "Although what we did was a bit unethical, Li Mu's words and deeds don't seem like a person who would take revenge casually. Now that I am sure that he is teaching sincerely, I feel relieved.

I don’t bother to ask about other things.”

Wang nodded and said: "You are right, as long as you teach it sincerely, I will be relieved."

The curtain was lowered and the two of them went back to their homes.

It was also a coincidence that Changsun Wuji had just gotten off the car and saw Changsun rushing home. Just like when he left in the morning, he was still running back. The habit has been formed. If he is asked to take the car now, he will

You will feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong was like a child who was caught doing bad things, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

"Follow me." Changsun Wuji said, and led Changsun Chong to the study. The father and son faced each other across the table. After a long time, Changsun Wuji said: "What did you do today?"

"I went to the valley and made mortise and tenon joints. The college's construction schedule is tight..." Changsun Chong's voice became smaller and smaller, for fear that Changsun Wuji would become furious at the next moment.

But what he didn't expect was that Changsun Wuji didn't. Not only did he not, but he looked relieved.

"I went to see Li Mu today. The idea of ​​integrating knowledge and action opened my eyes. Since you have chosen this path, as a father, I feel very happy. It's good, not bad."

"?" Changsun Chong was a little confused and asked blankly: "Father, have you gone to see your mentor?"

"Yeah." Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "He also told me about your learning of carpentry." At that moment, Changsun Wuji repeated Li Mu's words. After speaking, Changsun Wuji said happily: "It's so profound.

You can understand the truth in ten days, which is already extraordinary. My father is proud of you!"

"Uh" Changsun Chong opened his mouth, closed it again, finally sighed and lowered his head. Seeing his appearance, Changsun Wuji felt strange, frowned and asked: "What, could it be that Li Mu lied to me? No.

Is this about this?"

"This," Changsun Chong sighed again, bent his knees, and knelt in front of Changsun Wuji, saying: "Father, I am ashamed. My father just made sense, but in fact, I did not understand it. I have failed to live up to the expectations of my father and mentor.

, it is a grave sin for a child.”

"What?" Changsun Wuji never expected it to be like this. He frowned and asked, "But Li Mu said to me..."

"Everything the teacher said is true, but..." Changsun Chong didn't dare to raise his head even more, and whispered: "The real situation is that the child asked the teacher three times, but the teacher didn't answer, and just let the child think on his own. The child is stupid, only

I thought my teacher didn't like to talk to me, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions. After another five days, I was worried that my teacher would be angry, so I told my teacher that the child had realized that, in fact... the child was just taking advantage of the teacher's majesty and had no choice but to act. Alas,

The child is so stupid that he didn't even see the slightest bit of the truth that the teacher wanted to teach. The child is extremely ashamed. He has lost his father's face and brought shame to my eldest grandson. The child is ashamed..."

As he said this, he burst into tears.

Changsun Wuji was stunned. He never expected that this would be the case. When he was talking to Li Mu, he heard Li Mu say that Changsun Chong was stupid, and he was not convinced. Now it seems that his precious son is even more stupid than Li Mu described.

!

this……

Fortunately, Li Mu wasn't around, otherwise he really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Looking at Changsun Chong crying bitterly, Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it. He bent down and helped his son up, saying: "My son, don't be discouraged.

.I will tell you again in detail what I just heard Li Mu say about "unity of knowledge and action" later. Take notes and think about it slowly. You will always gain some insights, so don't let it go.

He knows the real situation, otherwise, he will look down on you."

"My child understands." Changsun Chong wiped away his tears and took a pen and paper to record. Suddenly he raised his head: "My child is too stupid."

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's just that Li Mu is too evil. In this case, you should study hard, understand?"
