"Is anyone else having any other ideas?"

Meng Xingchen asked intentionally, and finally looked at Chen Ning's position.

Everyone present looked at each other, but no one stood up.

The good eloquence has been stated, and the average water quality does not want to be embarrassed, so naturally no one can show it.

So Meng Xingchen continued: "Just just now, several students expressed their opinions, but I believe everyone could see that Meng was not satisfied. Because you can't get rid of the thoughts of the saints in your thoughts, and Confucius is unparalleled. It is normal for you to have such a performance, so Meng did not comment. By the way, when talking about Confucius, it made Meng think of the first couplet in front of the academy. I don't know if the couplets are here? Look at his couplets, I highly recommend me, and Meng also likes to read Lao Zhuang, and I happened to meet this person today."

Meng Xingchen led Chen Ning around the bush.

Many people looked at Chen Ning, and Chen Ning immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Student Zhao Baoyu, whose courtesy name is Liushu, pays homage to Mr. Meng. The first couplet is from the student, which makes the teacher laugh."

Meng Xingchen looked at Chen Ning and praised: "A handsome and free-spirited person is really a handsome young man!"

Of course, my nephew should praise him hard.

But others around were talking about it. When talking about the young talent in Pengcheng, Zhao Baoyu's reputation is not small at all. One is because he is the prospective son-in-law of the Li family, and the other is because of Master Xuanji's life-testing motto.

Treacherous ministers in prosperous times and traitors in troubled times have the appearance of a wolf!

This evaluation is not a good thing, so Zhao Baoyu is not a good reputation, but a bad reputation. Once he enters the officialdom, he will be a wake-up call, so everyone is disdainful of Zhao Baoyu.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for the praise." Chen Ning said respectfully.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xingchen said again: "So you are Zhao Baoyu. Although Meng first arrived in Pengcheng, he also heard about Xuanjizi's life test of you. Your first couplet is heroic and unruly, and I think you have a good knowledge. Do you have your own opinions on Confucianism? You might as well say it. It doesn't matter if you don't."

Hearing his question, Chen Ning immediately understood the reason why Meng Xingchen made this happen.

It seems that he wants to take this opportunity to clear his name for himself!

Chen Ning pretended to be Zhao Baoyu, and Xuan Jizi was to test Zhao Baoyu's life. Although those mottos were about Zhao Baoyu, if the disguise was exposed in the future, those bad reputations would be transferred to Chen Ning. Moreover, Chen Ning pretended to be someone else to prove the word "traitor". At that time, everyone would be rich, and Chen Ning would never be able to get rid of his stigma.

Chen Ning doesn’t care about reputation. As long as he feels good, who cares about the opinions of outsiders?

But as an elder, Meng Xingchen cares, so he wants to take this opportunity to create a great reputation for Chen Ning.

If Chen Ning had a novel understanding of Confucianism, then Meng Xingchen could praise him without hesitation and say that he was the pioneer of the future of Confucianism and Taoism. As the pioneer of Confucianism and Taoism, how could he be a treacherous minister? Confucianism would not agree at that time.

This is Meng Xingchen's good intention and a sense of protection.

Of course, Meng Xingchen was also afraid that Chen Ning would not be able to speak, so at the end of the words, he reminded Chen Ning in a tactful way.

Chen Ning understood his intention, so he raised his voice and said, "Mr. Meng, the student is indeed a bit vulgar and superficial, but he is afraid that he will not say it well, so he dare not show his ugliness. Since the teacher asked, the student dared not hide it."

"Okay, come quickly, let me wait and listen." Meng Xingchen was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.

The others were a little depressed, but they didn't expect Meng Daru to value this person so much. He listened to the tone of urging, curious with surprise and enthusiasm with surprise.

This made others feel unhappy.

Chen Ning took away the goddess of Pengcheng and was an outsider. Now that he is so arrogant, everyone naturally hates the enemy. If he doesn't say it well, he must ridicule it.

"We are also curious about Mr. Zhao's insight!" Wang Beixuan couldn't help but say.

"That's right, I wonder what new ideas Mr. Zhao will have?" Xing Yu also smiled.

......

Faced with the sarcasm of everyone, Chen Ning definitely jumped out of the circle and would not play with you. All you play are left by the saints. If you are the first to jump out of the circle, then you are the boss.

So Chen Ning laughed, the laughter overwhelmed everyone's discussion, and then said:

"Everyone, in my opinion, Confucianism is our own original heart, and since the original heart is the principle, if you want to achieve the real heart and master Confucianism, you need to understand the truth, and the method is to integrate knowledge and action!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present frowned.

Confucianism is the original heart, and the heart is the principle. If you understand the truth, you must unite knowledge and action.

In just a few words, Chen Ning’s views on Confucianism and introduced the ways and goals to achieve it. Just like Confucius’s Confucianism and Taoism are benevolence, while self-cultivation and family management and country governance are also the ways and goals to be achieved.

What's even more rare is that this idea has never been there before.

In this alone, Chen Ning is far superior to Wang Beixuan and Xing Yu.

As everyone was talking, some Confucian old masters kept thinking about it and felt more mysterious about Chen Ning's statement. An old man hurriedly said: "Sage Confucius once said: "Sage Confucius once said: A fond of learning is almost knowledge, a force is almost benevolence, and a shame is almost courage. Knowing these three things, you know how to cultivate yourself, and you know how to govern others; knowing how to govern others, and you know how to govern the world. What Confucius said is very obvious, and knowing what to do is the foundation of self-cultivation and governance of the country. However, Saint Confucius also said: A gentleman wants to be slow in speaking and quick in action, so Saint Confucius actually uses behavior as a foundation, rather than the unity of knowledge and action."

Meng Xingchen did not expect Chen Ning to make a big splash. He continued: "Director Guo is right. Knowledge and action are the essence of Confucianism. However, great scholars of all dynasties believed that in terms of sequence, knowledge is the first, and behavior is the most important thing. Knowledge and action have been the most important thing since ancient times. However, Mr. Zhao believed that knowledge and action are united. Can you explain it in detail?"

Chen Ning could only bite his teeth: "In the eyes of students, knowledge is the idea of ​​action, and action is the effort of knowledge. Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the accomplishment of knowledge. Therefore, knowledge and action cannot be divided into one. They are one essence, and the unity of knowledge and action is to achieve conscience..."

"To achieve conscience is a process of both knowledge and practice. When you see your father, you will know filial piety; when you see your brother, you will know your younger brother; when you see a child entering the well, you will know your compassion. This is conscience..."

Chen Ning pieced together Wang Yangming's thoughts on his mind and took them out to scare these Confucian old guys.

Just now, Zhang Xiu'er introduced the development of Confucianism and Taoism. Confucius founded Confucianism and Taoism. Mencius and Xunxun promoted Confucianism. With the development, Confucianism was inherited, and it also went through integration, such as the rise and weakness of Confucianism, the germination of Neo-Confucianism, etc., but never formed a relatively unified idea, so it could not create its unique status and was impacted by other ideas.

The history of previous lives proved this process until the emergence of Neo-Confucianism was the inheritance and development of Confucian thought. Because Neo-Confucianism was integrated and established a relatively complete theoretical system, a unified trend of thought was formed, the influence was profound and huge.

Now, Chen Ning has proposed the study of the mind, which is an unprecedented new idea.

Confucius, Mencius and King Zhu, four giants of thought in the long history of China in the past life, Chen Ning asked to bring out the idea of ​​the great achievements of the mind and learning, and the power can be imagined.

Integrate knowledge and action, and achieve conscience.

This is Confucianism.

In just seven short words, including the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, there are differences. The more you think about it, the more people feel awakened.

The president of Yunlong Academy looked excited and said, "It is difficult to integrate knowledge and action. Throughout history, how many people have achieved the unity of knowledge and action?"

Today's Confucian scholars basically know how to go first and then, and give the simplest example. Because Confucianism emphasizes the kindness of the father and the filial piety of the son, people know this and abide by it. The unity of knowledge and action means that they will naturally know filial piety when they see their father, and they will naturally know their brothers. This is easy to say, but what if everything is like this?

Seeing injustice means knowing righteousness!

Know your loyalty when you see state affairs!

You know goodness when you see unkindness!

...

It is so difficult to achieve conscience.

So today Chen Ning used a big move that scared everyone.

Chen Ning was also happy, and he heard the system's prompts and sounds kept:

"Pretty value +3."

"Pretty value +3."
