Chapter 262 The Eternal Perfect Man Wang Yangming (2)

Author: Immortal Grass Bean Curd

five months later

The first year of Yangjia

The great Confucian Wang Bo died of illness in Yingchuan County. Scholars in the Central Plains lamented his death, and Wang Bo's disciples mourned him.

Wang Bo's body was transported back to Liaodong. Under the silent mourning of all the family members, Wang Bo's only grandson Wang Yun succeeded the family head and mourned for the family head for seven days.

[Head of the family: Wang Bo (the tenth head of the family/the twelfth generation of children)

Posthumous title: Zhijun (Tranquil and indifferent is called Zhi)

Evaluation: He has not actively contributed to the family, and even leaked the family's technology. To the Wang family, he is almost equivalent to a spy, but his reputation as a great scholar has benefited the family.

Last wish: I hope no one will starve to death again and there will be no more wars]

The new head of the family, Wang Yun, felt very unhappy when he saw his grandfather's posthumous title.

This posthumous title is determined based on the contribution of the family head to the family, rather than based on what the family head himself has done.

If Wang Po hadn't brought fame to the family as a great scholar, his behavior of constantly stealing Wang family technology and spreading it to the people of the Central Plains during his lifetime would have been enough to give him a bad posthumous title, because it was a naked betrayal of the family!

The same person, to the Central Plains, is a saint, but to the Wang family of Liaodong, he is a hateful traitor. His hero, my enemy, maybe this is what it means. This also makes Wang Yun more determined.

Study] Thought.

If the grassland people are asked to evaluate a person, they will definitely think that Mao Dun is a saint and Wei Qing is an evil devil!

It's obviously the same person, the same thing, but from different angles, we can draw different conclusions.

"Everything is determined by the heart!" Wang Yun had more insights: "Where your heart is, the Tao is there."

"My heart thinks he is a saint, he is a saint. Your heart thinks he is a wicked person, then he is a wicked person. A saint is a wicked person. A wicked person is a saint. Good is bad, bad is good, smart is stupid, stupid is smart.

What is right is wrong, and what is wrong is also right.”

"What a person or thing is like has nothing to do with himself, but is determined by the heart of the person who sees him."

"What I saw was a demon who was slaughtering my compatriots. What you saw was a hero who was opening up new territories for your nation."

"It's obviously the same person, why are there two levels of evaluation like devil and hero? Because the evaluation is not determined by the actions of the person being evaluated, but by the heart of the evaluator."

"I open my eyes and see flowers blooming. When I close my eyes, the world becomes dark. Whether the world is blooming or dark is not decided by the flowers, but by my heart."

"That's why, if your eyes are open, the flowers will bloom; if your eyes are closed, the flowers will close!"

"The eunuch in the eyes of the emperor is a tool that can help him make money and take the blame. He is a good person and a selfless person; the eunuch in the eyes of the nobles is a competitor who competes with them for power and profit, and they are their peers.

He is their competitor in times of corruption; the eunuch in the eyes of the people is a flattering villain who only steals the people's wealth."

"What kind of person a eunuch is is not determined by the eunuch, but by the heart of the person who looks at the eunuch."

"It's because you see a eunuch who helps you make money, so you think he is a saint. It's because you see an eunuch who competes with you for corrupt power, so you think he is a villain. A saint is a villain.

People, villains are saints, noble people are despicable, despicable people are noble people, different hearts see different things."

Wang Yun realized it, he realized it thoroughly.

He believes that he has discovered the truth of this world. What this world is like is determined by his [heart], not by the world itself.

"I opened my eyes to see the Han Dynasty, that's why the Han Dynasty existed. When I closed my eyes, the Han Dynasty disappeared into ashes. When I opened my eyes again, the Han Dynasty reappeared."

"One thought makes all things come to life, one thought makes all things burn."

"All living beings in the world are just living in a grain of sand."

For three whole months, Wang Yun had been enlightening in the bamboo forest of the Wang family manor.

three months later

Whistle, rustle——

A gust of wind blew by. Wang Yun suddenly stood up with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He looked at the bamboo forest around him and said indifferently: "Tao, it's right here!"

Then, he pulled out his sword and slashed at the bamboo forest. While slashing, he murmured to himself: "This is my way, Wang Yun!"

In addition to the "Ancient Classics School" and the "Jinwen Classics School", Wang Yun created the "Xinxue Classics School".

Although Wang Yun is the only one in this school at present, I believe that in the near future, this school will definitely become a famous school in the world.

Buzz buzz~

Since he had been enlightened for three consecutive months, Wang Yun had not bathed for a long time. His body smelled bad, and flies and mosquitoes kept coming to bite him. He looked like a bohemian sage in the bamboo forest.

Snap!

After patting his clothes and swatting away the flies, Wang Yun went to take a bath first, and then continued his enlightenment while eating.

"Is our head of the family crazy?"

"I do not know."

"He stayed alone in the bamboo forest for three months, and he said some incomprehensible words from time to time."

"I heard that in ancient times there were people who became stupid because of reading. Could it be that our head is the same?"

A group of maids and women from the Wang family were discussing Wang Yun.

"Go, go, go, a bunch of people, big and small." Wang Xifeng, the family chief, came over and smiled at Wang Yun and said: "Master, the imperial court has appointed you to be the magistrate of Shu County, Lujiang County, Yangzhou."

"Huh?" Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Oh."

He was not surprised by this kind of thing. His grandfather was a Confucian scholar, his family was married to the Yuan family in Runan, and there was an elder who was the governor of Liaodong. It was normal for the court to have such an appointment.

"Maybe it's Yuan Situ's appointment." Wang Yun guessed.

Sikong Yuan Jing was transferred to Situ a few months ago, his son Yuan Tang was also promoted to the governor of Youzhou, and his grandson Yuan Cheng started directly from Jiuqing.

"But I heard that there is a lot of chaos in Yangzhou right now. A man named Zhang He is rebelling. The court suppressed him several times but failed. You have to be careful." Wang Xifeng said with concern.

"Don't worry, cousin, Yun, you have your own sense of proportion." Wang Yun replied calmly: "The rebels rebelled only because they had no conscience in their hearts. As long as we let them have a conscience, Yangzhou will be at peace."

Wang Yun realized the Tao, but he was still not sure whether his Tao was correct, so he planned to find a place to practice his Tao.

Now Yuan Situ of the imperial court took the initiative to appoint him to be the county magistrate of a county in Yangzhou, which was considered to be his wish.

He does not care about the position of county magistrate, he simply wants to prove that his [Tao] is correct through practice.
