Following Huang Haoyi along the way, Zhang Yue has not improved in other skills, but this skill has improved along the way.
Everyone chatted for a while, and a moment passed.
But when they heard the sound of the cloud board, several officials walked into the hall. Everyone saw them and stepped aside, calling them sir.
"No need to be too polite, let me see the elegance of today's heroes."
The old man in the center said, and the students on the left and right raised their heads. But at a glance, it was obvious that this old man was a well-educated scholar. Although his face was sick, his demeanor was truly unforgettable.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, could this be Mr. Hu Yuan Anding?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue felt excited in his heart.
Surprisingly, I was able to see him on this occasion.
I heard that although he is now serving as a lecturer in the Tianzhang Pavilion for the prince, and is in charge of the imperial school, he has been in poor health and has not seen his students for a long time except for teaching examinations and administering academic rules.
But he didn't expect that he would still be present in person when interviewing students.
Zhang Yue looked at the old man and couldn't help but feel excited.
This old man was the teacher of Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Yi, Fan Cunren and other great people.
Fan Zhongyan and later Wang Anshi admired him greatly.
He, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie are collectively known as Mr. Chu San of Song Dynasty, and they were all reform generals under Fan Zhongyan. Now Fan Zhongyan, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie have passed away one after another, but he is the only one who is still alive today.
Although Fan Zhongyan presided over the Qingli New Deal, which ended in failure, Hu Yuan was still in charge of Taixue, and Ouyang Xiu, who had been Fan Zhongyan's right-hand man, became the examiner of the imperial examination in the second year of Jiayou.
It can be seen that although the New Deal ended in failure, the officials did not give up this idea and let Ouyang Xiu and Hu Yuan take charge of the Imperial Academy, conduct tribute examinations, and reserve talents for the country.
However, Hu Yuan, who was hailed by the officials as ‘Mr. True’ and half of Fan Zhongyan’s teacher, might soon be coming to an end.
Hu Yuan supported his illness and personally took charge of the recruitment of imperial students, which shows that he was cautious about recruiting talents for the country and truly hoped to select a few useful talents who would become the pillars of the country in the future.
What does it mean to work hard and die? This is it.
On the contrary, Zhang Yue just saw a group of people there at Versailles, as if he had been forced to come to Taixue, and he seemed a bit ashamed.
Hu Yuan looked at the crowd and asked: "I, Hu Yuan, are now involved in the Imperial College. I wonder why you come to the Imperial College?"
Everyone was silent for a while. At this time, a student came forward and said: "Mr. Anding, the national situation is now in critical condition. In the past, the Liao Dynasty was still powerful, but even Xixia used Sui coins to make peace. The country is humiliated, and the minister is humiliated.
, the state affairs have reached the current state, and the practices have not changed, and the evils are getting worse day by day. In the past, Xianggong Fan worked hard to correct the evils in the world, but... At first glance, there are no major events in the world, but in fact, the number of rebellions and chaos in the world is increasing day by day.
Day after day, year after year passes, but if we don’t make preparations in advance, we may never know what will happen.”
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is a very good thing to say, it is at the level of a class representative.
Hu Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, this is exactly the purpose of running the Imperial Academy..."
The student was overjoyed when he heard this, but he heard Hu Yuan's next sentence: "But that's not what you came here for at all."
The student looked a little worried when he heard this.
Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi looked at each other, secretly amused.
"Just now I was in the study room next door, and I heard someone say that they came to Taixue because 'Taixue is not bad', 'Taixue can live and eat for free', and 'the steamed buns are good'."
The students below were all red-faced.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Mr. An Ding is really not a kind person, but the cat is eavesdropping. This time it's over, even his underwear has been seen through.
˙There are many shy students among the students, while some people on the other side secretly laugh at me.
But Hu Yuan said slowly: "Actually, both of them are not good. One cannot explain the body, and the other cannot be used. The first is too much, and the second is not enough. No matter whether you come to Taixue or not, you need to first seek to understand the body."
The way of using it comes first."
The student just now said seriously: "Sir, serving the country is like serving the court as a minister, why can't it be called Mingti? What the student just said came from the sincerity."
Hu Yuan nodded and said: "It is true..."
At this time, Zhang Yue thought to himself, if I don't take action, who will. I know how to do this.
Immediately, Zhang Yue had a thought in his mind and stood out from the crowd: "Mr. An Ding, the students would like to try to answer this question."
Hu Yuan glanced at Zhang Yue and nodded.
Zhang Yue said: "Students believe that loyalty to the emperor is based on filial piety. Therefore, since three generations of ancient times, benevolent emperors and saintly ancestors have governed the world with filial piety. Therefore, loyal ministers and good generals must come from the family of filial sons. If they are not filial to their parents, how can they be loyal to the country and the king?"
Do your best?"
The student said: "My filial piety was heard in my hometown. In the past..."
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to say much about brother's filial piety. I am not saying that brother is unfilial. What I am saying is that if an actor plays the role of a filial son, can we say that he is the most filial person in the world?"
Everyone laughed out loud after hearing this. This example was enough to slap in the face.
"This..." The student was speechless for a moment, and then said, "According to what you say, then the filial piety and filial piety of our people are all hypocrisy? Why does the court need to commend those who are honest and righteous?"
Zhang Yue knew earlier that the other party was asking this question, so he laughed and said: "What Xiongtai said makes sense, which is why the prison sentence just now said 'the body is bright and the body is effective'."
"As the saying goes, when you talk about the heart, you don't care about the deeds. A poor family has no filial son; when you talk about the deeds, you don't care about the heart. When you talk about the heart, there is no perfect person in the world. When you talk about the heart, you are the enlightened body. When you talk about the deeds, you are effective. When you talk about the deeds, you are the enlightened body.
It worked.”
After saying this, Hu Yuan and the instructors at the Imperial Academy couldn't help but look Zhang Yue up and down.
All the candidates who met Zhang Yue were also impressed. They originally thought that Zhang Yue was just a talker, but why...how could he be so good at boasting that even the instructors were deceived.
The student could say no more.
The instructors also spoke in low voices.
Hu Yuan looked Zhang Yue up and down and said: "It's a good saying. When it comes to the heart, it doesn't matter the deeds. A poor family has no filial son; when it comes to the deeds, it doesn't matter the heart. When it comes to the heart, there is no perfect person in the world. Where does this quote come from?"
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Reporting to Mr. Anding, there is no source, it is self-written!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
At this time, Hu Yuan reached out and pressed the button, and everyone fell silent.
Hu Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Zigong once said that his wife was out of reach, but Confucius became Confucius because he learned from others. We don't necessarily refer to the three generations in every word."
"It is refreshing to use the words of discussing traces and heart to explain and understand the body. But you said that filial piety cannot be the body, so what is the body?"
"Where does this filial piety come from?"
Everyone else nodded.
When scholars study the classics, the first thing they should learn is the Classic of Filial Piety. When scholars give advice to the emperor, the first thing they often say is that the saint should be filial to the world.
The imperial examination also used the Analects of Confucius and the Classic of Xiao as both classics.
It seems to be lower than the Nine Classics, but in fact the Nine Classics are optional studies, but the Classic of Xiao and The Analects of Confucius are compulsory.
Zhang Yue said: "Students think that according to the "Great Learning" in the "Book of Rites", one can cultivate one's moral integrity, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. To regulate one's family is filial piety, and those who want to regulate one's family must first cultivate one's morality. Therefore, Han Tui should cultivate one's morality, integrity, and integrity.
The family, the country, and the world will be brought to peace step by step."
As we all know, the "Four Books" was revised by Zhu Xi. In fact, it was Han Yu who first proposed the concept of the Four Books. He proposed the "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" in the Book of Rites and placed them alongside the "Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius".
However, current mainstream Confucian scholars still do not agree with this view and still rely on the "Book of Filial Piety" as the basis.
This involves what the body is. Han Yu previously believed that filial piety is the body.
When people are young, they admire their parents. Ever since they were born, there are no children who don’t love their parents. Only when they love their parents can they love their brothers and sisters, their parents’ brothers and sisters, and their parents’ parents. Finally, it extends to the same race, the same hometown, and loyalty to the king.
patriotic.
Therefore, until the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, Confucians first studied the "Book of Filial Piety".
But filial piety is a type of human emotion and cannot represent all.
That's why Zhu Xi followed Han Yu and proposed "righteousness and sincerity" as the essence.
Concerning "righteousness and sincerity", Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue in the Ming Dynasty argued for a long time. Neo-Confucianism believed that you should "investigate things to gain knowledge", learn principles, and the principles taught by all things are to preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires.
Wang Yangming studied bamboo for a long time and realized that the truth that I didn't agree with, no matter how reasonable it was, was not my truth.
So Confucianism developed the science of mind.
Wang Yangming finally said this to his two apprentices on the Tianquan Bridge: People with sharp roots (smart people) understand themselves better, while people with dull roots (stupid people) understand the world better.
But regardless of blunt or sharp roots, the real body must contain the principles of nature and human desires. If you are the only person in the world, then the principles of nature are human desires, and there is no right, wrong, good or evil.
However, when it comes to this, Zhang Yue still grasped the sense of proportion and realized the state of 'righteousness and sincerity'. Although it was not in line with the mainstream at the time, after all, this was Han Yu's idea. If you want to object, just scold Han Yu.
If Wang Yangming's concept was directly thrown out, then... he would probably be kicked out in court.
Hu Yuan said: "I think you have something to say, so you might as well continue."
Zhang Yue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. An Ding. Mingti means Mingxin, and filial piety is one. But how can one use the word filial piety to describe the seven emotions and six desires of a human being? For example, if you are the only one in the world, how can we talk about the word filial piety."
"Therefore, as a Confucian, we should base ourselves on integrity and sincerity!"
Hu Yuan looked at Zhang Yue repeatedly and asked gently: "What is your name? Where do you live?"
Zhang Yue saluted and said, "Reporting to Mr. Anding, my student Pucheng Zhang Yue is on a family trip."
"Oh? The Pucheng Zhang family is the same clan as Zhang Ziping, the current number one scholar?"
Zhang Yue said: "That's true."
In terms of seniority, we are still uncles from other clans, but it's a pity that others don't admit it.
Hu Yuan smiled happily and said: "A descendant of the Zhang family, no wonder he has the demeanor of a disciple of a famous family. I wonder who my teacher is?"
Zhang Yue said: "I first studied with Mr. Guo from the village school, and then with Mr. Boyi."
But after hearing that Zhang Yue studied under Zhang Youzhi, everyone could see that Hu Yuan's smile faded.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, isn't it? His teacher is in conflict with Hu Yuan?
Zhang Yue immediately thought to himself that it was not impossible, Li Gou and Zhang You were in the same boat.
As for Li Gou and Hu Yuan, who were good friends and were both reform generals of Fan Zhongyan, what would he do if he was in trouble?
But Hu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "No wonder, no wonder."
After saying this, Hu Yuan did not ask any more questions.
Zhang Yue felt a little confused.
After Hu Yuan said a few more words and left, everyone immediately took the exam in Taixue Hall.
ps: This chapter is really difficult. I revised it many times. It’s too late. I’m sorry.
