Chapter two hundred and seventy-seventh the advent of the mind

The old man asked Guo Hao's real name, and Guo Hao turned around and stood proudly, spitting out two words: "Guo Hao!"

"What!"

Halfway through Qi Tongwen's article, he was scared when he heard the name pen. In Dazhou, no one knew Guo Hao's name.

He pacified Hedong, resisted the Khitan in the north, retreated to the Tang Kingdom in the south, fought for three years, and fought more than ten Zhou troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, forcing the Southern Tang Dynasty to submit to the surrender. Such merits should be celebrated throughout the ages!

Guo Hao has fought more wars in recent years, and people almost forgot about Guo Hao's talent. The old man lowered his head and read Guo Hao's articles again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"When you live in a high temple, you worry about the people; when you live in a far away world, you worry about the king... I worry about the world before worry about the world, and then the world after joy...

Duke Song is worthy of being the God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty and a role model for all literati. Please be worshipped by me!"

After saying that, the old man actually knelt down. Guo Hao quickly stepped forward to support him, and the other students also knelt down one after another. Guo Hao quickly called them up.

"What are you doing? Guo is also a mortal, not a war god, and literati can't bear it. Get up quickly!"

When everyone got up, no one could see Guo Hao again this time. The old man quickly walked aside and sat down at Guo Hao with a gesture of invitation, saying, "Duke Song, please sit down!"

Guo Hao waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you doing, sir? This is your location!"

The old man laughed and said, "When three people walk, there must be my teacher. Duke Song is young and has both civil and military affairs, which is a blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Before, I didn’t know the identity of the Duke, so I asked the Duke not to blame him for his impoliteness. When the Duke was young, he read the Seven Classics through and presided over the scientific examination for the country.

Now he is the prince's tutor. When I see the Duke today, I will be shameless and ask the Duke to teach my students a lesson!"

"Please give a lecture to the Duke of the State!"

The gentleman said this, the students are not stupid. What is Guo Hao’s identity? Don’t look at his leisure during this period, but the court has to use him if he has something to do.

Guo Hao is not fighting for himself, just like the few words he wrote: The sea embraces all rivers, and a great place to be with tolerance, a wall stands thousands of feet high, and a strong person without desire!

This is a famous saying of being an official. The first two sentences talk about the mind. It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. Guo Hao must have a broad mind.

The last two sentences are the way of dealing with the world. Guo Hao is now below one person, above ten thousand people, and has an extremely respectable status. If he did anything bad, Chai Rong would probably not be able to cure him.

However, the most rare thing is inaction. Guo Hao knew that his identity was extraordinary, but he could withstand the temptation of power, not take power, not fight against party disputes, and look at the world, how many people could be like him!

"this……"

It is hard to refuse the kindness of the students, and the students admire it so much out of respect, but he didn't know what to say when he was asked to give a lecture.

"Duke doesn't have to worry. These children are excellent. You can talk about them casually, and they will listen carefully!"

After the old man finished speaking, the students nodded one after another. Guo Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Okay, then I'll just talk about it."

So Guo Hao sat in the old man's seat, and learned to get a cushion for Li Fu and others, so that they could also have a place to sit.

"The Book of Rites: The Great says: Knowledge is to investigate things, and then we can know it.

A gentleman has eight eyes: studying things, achieving knowledge, sincerity, uprightness of the heart, self-cultivation, management of the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world.

Then the study of governing the world should start with studying things and learning knowledge!”

Guo Hao said it casually, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a study of world governance. This is something he rarely heard. The students couldn't help but have their eyes shining and listened attentively.

"The so-called enlightenment of knowledge and investigation of things is to lead to the conscience of my heart in everything. The conscience of my heart is the so-called laws of nature.

If the heavenly principles of my heart are understood in everything, then everything will be understood in everything. If the conscience of my heart is understood in my heart, it will be understood.

If everything is in accordance with the principles of everything, it is to study things, which is to align with the mind and reason.

The mind of right and wrong is known without filtering, and can be learned without waiting for learning. Therefore, it is called conscience, which is the nature of the destiny of heaven, and the essence of my heart is naturally clear and enlightened.

Things are things. Any intention must have its superiority. Things where the intention is located are called things, and the rules are correct.

To correct the wrong things is to return to the right things. To correct the wrong things is to get rid of evil things; to return to the right things is to do good things, and this is what is called the standard.

Therefore, having no good or evil is the body of the mind, having good or evil is the movement of the mind, knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good to eliminate evil is to investigate things."

In his previous life, in order to increase his management ability, Guo Hao studied two books. The first is "The Study of Thick Black" and the second is "The Record of the Teachings".

It is precisely because of these two books that he is as sensible as a fish in the officialdom and is very smooth in dealing with people. He will not bend down because of his identity, nor will he be unable to think about it because of a little grievance.

Guo Hao said that he would learn from things, but then the students below looked confused, but the old man looked at Guo Hao with shock. Only he could understand some of the meaning of Guo Hao.

"The words of the Duke of the State are comparable to those of the saints. Please accept my worship again!"

As he said that, the old man knelt down again, Guo Hao was speechless, but it was not that the old man was polite, but that he underestimated the charm of the study of the mind.

"What is the old man doing? I just talk about it casually. Judging from everyone's expressions, I don't seem to understand it much."

The old man said with a serious look when he heard this: "The Duke said that it is a famous saying. They don't understand it, because they have too shallow knowledge."

The students lowered their heads in shame when they heard this. Guo Hao waved his hand with a smile: "I never get tired of reading old books for a hundred times. I will know if I read them carefully. It doesn't matter if I don't understand them now. As long as I am willing to study them, I will understand sooner or later!"

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Guo Hao's words were so true that he completely impressed all the students. Guo Hao didn't know at this time that this Suiyang Academy was the later Yingtian Academy!

As one of the four major academies in the world, Guo Hao's visit left a good story here, and the famous sayings left by Taizu were also carved on the stone tablet forever.

Yingtian Academy also became the first Royal Academy.

The sentence "Worry about the world first and worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world later" made the literati in the world truly know him and laid the foundation for the future literati to return to their hearts.

After the exciting time, Guo Yongning couldn't stand the boredom of the academy, and Guo Hao didn't plan to stay for too long, so he took a few people away.

...

Going south along the canal, the next stop is Bozhou. After traveling to the city, Guo Hao suddenly wanted to go to the mountains to see it, and there was also a paradise here - Chen Tuan!

Chen Tuan, whose courtesy name is Tunan and whose pseudonym is Fuyaozi, was given the title of "Mr. Baiyun", "Mr. Xiyi", and is from Zhenyuan, Bozhou.

Many people in later generations have heard of him. If they don’t know him, his students must have heard of him, that is, the master of the Wudang Sect——Zhang Sanfeng!

Chai Rong had summoned him before. In the third year of Xiande, Chai Rong ordered Huazhou to send Chen Tuan to the court and left Chen Tuan to live in the palace for more than a month. Zhou Shizong asked Chen Tuan about the magic of enlightening gold and silver.

Chen Tuan replied: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and you should be committed to governing the country. How can you pay attention to things like Huangbai Fangshu?"

Chai Rong did not blame him and appointed him as a counselor. Chen Tuan firmly resigned and accepted this position. He knew that Chen Tuan had no other skills, so Chai Rong let him go back to his original residence and ordered the governor to condolences to Chen Tuan during the holidays.

When Guo Hao heard that he entered the court, he wanted to see him, but unfortunately he was of course leading the troops outside, so he had no chance to meet him.

Now that I have come to Bozhou, this is Chen Tuan’s hometown, Guo Hao naturally won’t miss this opportunity and visit him directly.

After inquiring along the way, Guo Hao came to Chen Tuan’s former residence. After inquiring, Chen Tuan was not at home, but lived in seclusion in Fangzhou!

At this time, Guo Hao was located in Anhui, later generations, while Fangzhou was in Hubei, which was even west than Xiangyang. It was probably inconvenient for the two girls to go there.

Seeing Guo Hao's face was disappointed, the two felt a little unbearable. Li Fu said, "If you want to go to Fangzhou, we will accompany you. Anyway, they are all out to play, so it's okay if you don't go to Jiangnan."

"That's it." Guo Yongning echoed.

"It's not that I can't take you there, but to Fangzhou is not as good as Jiangnan. There are not many waterways along the way. You are pregnant, and I'm afraid I can't stand the bumps."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, the two looked at each other and Li Fu asked, "Husband, is that Chen Tuan really amazing?"

Guo Hao nodded: "Yes, embrace the Taoist mountain, cleanse the heart and cultivate the great spirit of Tai Su, and should be the stars in the upper realm, and the Taoist follows Huang Lao.

He was in mind the long-term strategy of the rituals and did not visit kings and princes; he was a genius of generals and ministers, but he had not yet reached the emperor. He was a true paradise. He was not only proficient in Yixue, but also understood the art of health preservation.

Before he entered the court to give advice, I thought about him asking for advice, but it turned out to be a pity..."
