Fang Jifan found it incredible.

If he didn't have a brain attack, then...he remembered that he didn't seem to have had any in-depth communication with Wang Shouren.

These days, a few disciples were in the Imperial Academy during the day, and rushed to Xishan at night. They got into the sedan chair early the next morning, took a nap in the sedan chair, and went directly to the Imperial Academy to be on duty! There is very little time to communicate with each other.

But seeing Wang Shouren's tears of gratitude, Fang Jifan was really confused.

At this time, Wang Shouren still had tears in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "At first, the students didn't understand why the teacher asked the students to come to Xishan to teach. The students were quite critical of the teacher in their hearts. You are exhausted, but you still need to go back and forth like this, just to teach a group of students, it is really overkill."

"But today, the students suddenly realized the good intentions of the teacher. The teacher wanted to teach the students a very important truth. The students learned simplicity and knowledge from the teacher, but there was still one thing that they couldn't figure out. , can you really pursue the great way just by relying on the simplicity of the great way and the unity of knowledge and action?"

"No, before this Zhijian and Zhixing, there is another truth, this...is the essence of the teacher's knowledge."

Fang Jifan's body trembled: "Go on."

"A heart of empathy!" Wang Shouren spat out the four words cautiously, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What is Tao? The way of a sage lies in benevolent government. In order to implement benevolent government and pursue the great rule of the world, it is necessary to unite knowledge and action. But how do you know it? The so-called knowledge is not to make the sage's principles more complicated, but to penetrate the sage. If we understand the essence of the way, and simplify it, this is the great simplicity. But why should a person pursue benevolent government? If he does not pursue benevolent government, then what is the use of the simplicity of the great way and the unity of knowledge and action?"

"This is what the teacher wants the students to understand - the heart of empathy. The purpose of pursuing benevolent government lies in the people. Therefore, the people are the foundation. But if the scholars don't know the people, the so-called benevolent government is nothing but rhetoric, just talking about it."

Fang Jifan's body trembled again, what the fuck, you also have a theory, and you still have a set?

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for someone like Wang Shengren to come out only after hundreds of years. He can figure out one, two, three, four, five, six for everything, and then think about it. , finally summed up, and finally form a theory.

It's... amazing.

Wang Shouren continued: "The students came to Xishan, not only teaching the students, but also negotiating with the miners and farmers in Xishan. Only then did they realize that what they are pursuing in their hearts is not a peaceful and prosperous world, nor a benevolent government, but a world of saints. Dazhi, they don't think about it. What they see is whether they can eat an extra piece of meat today, and whether they can buy a piece of clothing for their wives and children tomorrow. It’s been taken for granted in the past.”

"But now, I know... It's wrong, it's wrong, the essence of the great rule of the world is to meet the needs of the people and think for the people. The results that scholars want are not the results that the common people want. Scholars The great governance we are pursuing is more derived from our own needs than from the needs of the real people."

"The student then continued to think. When the student was studying, he also thought that if the common people could not pick up lost things on the road and close their houses at night, then the world would be in great order. But it was only later that they realized that this was just the world that the students thought of. It’s just great governance. Because the students have never tasted the taste of hunger, they naturally don’t think that the world’s great governance should mean that everyone has food to eat. Because the students have never tried being cold, they don’t think that the people have new clothes to wear. The world will rule."

"If in the past, someone told students that the essence of benevolent government is to have food and clothing, students would definitely feel contemptuous and think it is too vulgar. But now, students have just realized that the real superficial and vulgar ones are the students themselves Because the students are full of food and have new clothes, they ignore the simplest needs of the people and talk about benevolent government. Isn't this the opposite?"

"The sage said that only by rectifying one's heart and sincerity can one govern the country and the world. But how to be honest and sincere? Now... the students understand that being honest and sincere is the same. Only when they really get in touch with the most ordinary people can they Only then can we know what is urgent and what is needed, and then we can understand the sufferings of the people, and only then can we understand what benevolent government is."

"Therefore, before the unity of knowledge and action, one needs to know that the great way is simple, but the great way to be simple must first have a heart of empathy. Only in this way can we implement benevolent government... Now, the students finally know that the teacher does not want me to wait in the Imperial Academy Time, high above, claims to be a clean stream. So he took great pains to order the students to come to Xishan after finishing the duty, and truly experience the suffering of the people. This is exactly what the teacher wants us to experience by ourselves."

"..." Fang Jifan's small body trembled again, and he felt a little pain in his waist. Will there be a possibility of kidney deficiency if this continues?

Tang Yin was listening, with a look of shame on his face.

So that's the case, Junior Brother Wang's understanding is really extraordinary, why didn't I think of it? I boast that I have some talents and cleverness, but I can't understand the painstaking efforts of my mentor.

With a heart of shame, he bowed down to Fang Jifan in a hurry: "Men, the student will die forever, but the student doesn't know the essentials of the teacher..."

Fang Jifan thought in his heart, in fact... as a teacher, I didn't understand the essentials of this level, er, I'm afraid few people can understand it like this, so don't be ashamed.

"Not bad!" Well, anyway, I have already thick-skinned, and I have done a lot of shameless things, so naturally the psychological pressure will be gone, Fang Jifan chin

Lifting up slightly, looking at Fang Liang: "Oh, work hard."

Empathy?

Your sister, why didn't I think of it, um, what you said...that's great.

………………

A memorial has been hastily delivered to Xiao Jing's hands.

This is an urgent message from Guizhou, sent urgently by Guizhou Zhongguan Yang Xiong Baili.

"Jing Long, the official of the general army, disobeyed the governor's orders and went to war without authorization, putting Guiyang in danger?"

Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes, frowned slightly, and paced back and forth.

The father and son of the Fang family are really awesome, they really ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts.

What is this number?

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Jing couldn't figure it out.

"Godfather, don't you..." The eunuch who followed beside him looked at Xiao Jing with a smile.

"Should I report to His Majesty quickly?" Xiao Jing also looked at the little eunuch with a smile.

"Naturally, everything depends on godfather?"

"You." Xiao Jing shook his head and said: "Look, you also know that we are the ones to make the decision, but the same thing, what the people above you think, it's all unpredictable, you think you can guess What are we thinking? Come on, tell me."

The little eunuch wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Xiao Jing's serious face, he hurriedly said tremblingly: "Fang Jifan doesn't think much of you, this servant is thinking, isn't this just right? Godfather can take this opportunity to see His Majesty... "

"You are really smart, you guessed right." Xiao Jing glanced at him with relief: "You are really a roundworm in our stomachs, we are very pleased to have a son like you."

Xiao Jing smiled, but suddenly, his smile became dark: "But you are stupid because you are stupid. In this world, we are not in charge. You guessed us, but we have the Holy One above us, the Holy Majesty You didn't think about it, but we have to think about it."

"Slaves and servants will die." The little eunuch was too frightened to speak out.

Xiao Jing raised his eyelids languidly: "What is your Majesty thinking? Fang Jifan made great contributions by offering sweet potatoes, but the commander-in-chief refused to obey orders. This can be called a general who is out and the emperor's order is not accepted. .It can also be said to be a conspiracy, it can be due to dedication, or it can be uneasy and kind, tell me, what will your majesty think?"

The little eunuch obviously didn't dare to guess wildly anymore, and said timidly: "Godfather... slave... slave doesn't know."

"So you are stupid. If we send such news, His Majesty will not be happy, and he will just vent his anger on us. But he calmed down, thinking that the Fang family has served Daming for generations and made great contributions to the court. His anger suddenly If it disappears, nothing will happen, at most, the imperial decree will be issued, and Fang Jinglong will be severely reprimanded, so that Fang Jinglong will obediently go up to plead guilty, but this scolding one after another, what is it? , one is thicker than the other, for them, it is no pain, nothing is difficult in the world, isn't it?"

"You see, we are the ones who suffer anyway. When they are scolded, His Majesty treats them like courtiers. When you treat courtiers, you scold them, because you have to use them. But we are slaves, and slaves serve others. The courtiers were scolded and displeased the king, at most they were allowed to enter the palace to see him. But if our slaves annoy His Majesty, His Majesty will kick us away, and we can no longer serve His Majesty, then... What is it again?"

Xiao Jing glanced at the little eunuch mockingly, snorted coldly, and continued: "You bastard, you come up with bad ideas. This urgent report, even if you want to report it, it's not for us to report it. Does Jin Yiwei have no eyeliner? The Ministry of War Won't there be a playbook? Don't they know how to report it?"

"Understood." The little eunuch forced a smile: "I understand, this urgent report never existed."

"En." Xiao Jing nodded and nodded thoughtfully, "Let me teach you a truth."

The little eunuch hurriedly said respectfully: "Please make it clear to Godfather."

"People who are slaves cannot have a heart. Without a heart, there will be no likes and dislikes. Only when there are no likes and dislikes can one be casual. What is casualness? That's right... whatever the sage likes, we like what the sage If we want to get close to someone, we have to get close to him, and if the Holy One wants someone to die, even if this person is your own father, you should be the first to pounce on him and strangle him to death!"
