"I strongly oppose it. Even if a tiger escapes from the market, Your Majesty will believe it."

It's just that Wang Shouren still has some hope in Confucianism. If he continues to be like this and becomes a person who can really speak out, then he will indeed have some power to compete with those powerful ministers and have a real game.

What do you still have about the Holy Master in your heart?

If you can give generously to the people and be able to help everyone,

What should be done to people must be holy? Yao and Shun were just as sick as others!

Any great avenue or thousand-year-old sect in the world comes from the people, takes it from the people, uses it for the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. These are the eternal truths. People who are ranked among the saints and people who are powerful.

All of them are well versed in this.

Wang Shouren was quite embarrassed, and the passers-by fishing next to him also looked down upon this well-dressed scholar, with ridicule on their faces. However, Wang Shouren's face remained as usual, and he got up and returned to the old house, with the momentum of a talk about three days and three nights.

.

Wang Shouren walked faster and faster, but after a while he arrived at the old house and opened the door, but the old man was not there.

The old man's house is quite poor. It can be said that the four walls are clean. However, although it is poor, it looks clean and does not look slovenly.

Even the three treasures of the study, I don’t know how many, there are books on display, and there is a faint fragrance of ink on the desk. If you don’t know the identity of the old man, I’m afraid anyone will think that this is a scholarly family, but a poor and poor family.

Wang Shouren felt quite calm and admired this old house calmly.

Lowering his head, there was a handwriting written by the old man on the table. When he opened it and looked at it, Wang Shouren was shocked, his expression was abnormal, and he was stunned for a long time.

I saw dense writing on the table, various understandings of the theory of merit, as well as opinions and partial opinions.

He even listed the saints and sages of various generations, as well as the literati and Confucian scholars of today. If the things on the table were released, it would definitely cause an uproar in the world. However, the old man never did so, and instead continued to cast without any sign.

Cast, this is a masterpiece from ancient times to the present.

The conservative's mind was suddenly aroused, and he sat down blankly. Everything in the book tempted him. He continued to read, and the theory of merit seemed to be completed in an instant, but the creator of all this was not this scholar.

, but was written by a little-known, down-and-out scholar who could be said to be like an ant.

For the first time, Wang Shouren put aside his prejudice against fools. After all, he felt that Confucian people had been saving these fools all their lives, even sacrificing their lives. Among the seventy-two sages, several of them died a good death, and they also had a prominent Confucian status, and their minds could roam freely.

The sea of ​​books seems to be like a fish in water.

At this time, the old man also came back. When he walked into the study, he saw Wang Shouren's contemplative face. The old man just smiled and left.

Wang Shouren was wandering around in the sea of ​​books, and naturally he didn't find the old man until the early morning of the next day.

Wang Shouren carefully closed the book and looked out the window, only to find that it was already early morning.

Then he hurriedly ran outside, but never thought that the old man had already been waiting for him here.

The two smiled at each other, and there were two jars of good wine on the table. Just looking at and smelling them was enough to make everyone in the world fascinated.

In the early years, Wang Shouren did not like to drink because he felt that drinking would ruin things and might even become an out-and-out drunkard. This was a taboo!

It's just that today he had to drink, and he had to drink. For the first time, Wang Shouren was on an equal footing with an ordinary commoner, picking up the wine bottle and drinking it all in one gulp.

The old man laughed loudly and said: "I have no regrets in this life. I don't have that much time to see how you go to the sky, and I don't have that much time to lament the bitter cold of the world. Now I don't think about anything like that anymore."

It’s a matter of rotten Confucianism, drinking and having fun is the ultimate happiness in the world.”

Wang Shouren nodded in agreement.

Then, the old man's eyes were rather dim, and he said to himself: "People, when they live in the world, some people live their lives with dignity, and some people live with dignity."

"Do you know how many literati, scholars, Confucians, corrupt scholars, court nobles, feudal officials, swallows, and plums are all seen on this river every day? They all show it vividly. He comes here every day to fish in name.

, but they are actually discussing a series of things that are harmful to nature."

"I live in silence every day, but in my heart I care about the world. It's a pity that I care about the antenna, but I can only see how many people in the world are worthless. I have seen too many."

As he spoke, the old man smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said: "The monopoly of the imperial court and the suppression of the people of the world by those clans has long been a common practice. If the imperial examinations are abolished and the recommendations of the clans are replaced, the power of the world will never be in their hands.

In the hands of literati, after all, literati have no time to show their talents. Even if you have great talents, you will end up as a ninth-grade sesame official, and you will even be suppressed along the way, and your life will not be as good as that of a common man."

"The sentence I want to give you, "Acquire the amazing art, the goods and the emperor's family" has become an empty talk, ah, no, it should be regarded as a scene talk."

Hearing this, Wang Shouren lowered his head and smiled, with no pity in his eyes, but only admiration and admiration!

The old man was still minding his own business and said: "Perhaps you have never seen those noble families standing in the court, facing us common people, how can we eat one meal or not? What will we eat tomorrow? I don't know what we will eat today.

Is there still food to eat at noon? What should we do in the year of famine? Such a simple question to the extreme, but in exchange for those people saying, why not eat minced meat?!"

Wang Shouren nodded calmly. He seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. In fact, he was considered a noble. His ancestors seemed to be the descendants of Prince Jing who followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world. Although Emperor Gaozu reduced the vassalage,

I no longer have the power I had before, but I still have no worries about food and drink, and I have the guidance of a world-famous teacher. There has been no difficulty at all along the way.

, and even received a lot of goodwill, not to mention a world-famous Confucian scholar. He has never encountered such a situation, and has even been complacent, thinking that he is world-famous, and using a few scholarly enlightenments in his chest

Common people, but after all, this is just the idea of ​​a young boy. He has never even had contact with the people, and he talks about educating the world. It is really ridiculous.

The old man had been observing people for so many years, so he could naturally tell what he was thinking. Wang Shouren smiled and said: "Indeed, I have seen your achievements. Generally speaking, they are indeed ahead of the pile of rotten scholars today."

Ten years is at least suitable for today’s world situation, but it still lacks too much, too much!”

"This book is full of talk about doing things for the world and the people, but you never know what the world needs? What do the people need? What the world needs is ministers who are honest and courageous, and what they need are talents who know the world. There is no shortage of those.

People who seek wealth and honor, what the people need is a peaceful and prosperous age, and they only need a way to reach heaven. They only need to be able to have enough food and clothing, as long as there is a way, but as you have mentioned in your book, this is also
