Many saints in the past left their words in this way, which also gave rise to the current schools of thought.
And now, it seems like it’s just the beginning.
But the door is open!
Those who stood up all recognized it.
But there are some who admire me in their hearts.
The truth is simple, very simple, but the Queen thought about it and thought about it, while they just didn't think about it. This is the difference.
This is the great truth that sages and wise men since ancient times have all realized.
So this bow is natural.
Wu Qinhu also looked at Su Changan in surprise. He was the best in poetry and had unmatched talent in martial arts. Now he could even come up with such a truth?
Is it possible that such a versatile person could appear in this world?
Thinking of this, Wu Qinhu looked back at his granddaughter Da Mengzi who was eating with relish, and for the first time he began to seriously think about whether he should find a way to get Da Mengzi to become his apprentice.
Even if you don't make any progress in martial arts, it's good to learn these subjects.
Moreover, Wu Qinhu had also been to the Empress's room, and he had seen that apart from some food, there were papers and books, as well as memorials for the Emperor to read.
At this time, one of the two Western Region scholars spoke up: "So, do we have to abandon the Confucian virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, and honesty? Because as far as I know, the Confucian saints once proposed the unity of knowledge and action, but here it is only about moral character and virtue."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Good or bad morality depends on how to be a good person. Our Daxia books have so many principles for teaching you how to be a good person. If you learn them and do them, isn't that the unity of knowledge and action?"
The scholars from the Western Regions were thoughtful.
On the other hand, the great scholars nodded secretly. Although they always felt that there was something wrong with what the queen said, that was the truth, simple and direct.
One of the scholars looked at the empress, thought for a moment, and obviously wanted to continue to refute, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he immediately lowered his head.
Su Changan looked at the two Western scholars, feeling somewhat helpless. The main reason was that although the unity of knowledge and action had some origins in Yangming's philosophy of mind, it was a truth that had been seriously verified for thousands of years in the past. Want to refute it? It was really not possible.
However, we cannot say that these two scholars were going to have a debate or something like that, after all, they really came out to ask questions.
So Su Changan thought for a while, picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote down a poem, and then looked at the two scholars: "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying, and the boat has passed through thousands of mountains. I just wrote it because I thought of it. This seems to be a trivial thing, but it is actually a kind of unity of knowledge and action. Because poems are for people to appreciate and comment on, I wrote it out for everyone to see how it works. This is what I call verifying whether what I have learned and done is good or bad. Unity of knowledge and action is everywhere. What you two are saying now is actually a kind of unity of knowledge and action, and my conversation with you is a part of your unity of knowledge and action."
After saying that, Su Changan handed the paper with the poem to Maomao.
but
Just when Su Changan said that, Mu Xu and the literati present all looked at Su Changan in surprise.
When I think of it, I write it.
And then casually!
Wrote a sentence like this?
Ignore the Empress and the two Western scholars explaining the unity of knowledge and action. In fact, the words are clear enough up to this point, but the two Western scholars are a bit stubborn, so this is the case.
but
When you were preaching to people, did you think of this quatrain?
Poems and lyrics through the ages can be written down as you please?
At the literary gathering, many people looked at Su Changan with different eyes!
Is your Majesty really trying to solidify her title as the world's number one poet? Or is she planning to become a poetic immortal?
Mu Xu pursed his lips and said, "Madam, do you have any poems?"
Before I finished asking, Su Changan immediately smiled and said, "No."
Mu Xu wanted to speak, but Xia Fengxiang opened his eyes and glanced at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu didn't dare to speak immediately, but looked at Su Changan eagerly and thought, what's the matter? I finally learned about Spring River Moonlight Night and Song of Everlasting Sorrow, why did this other sentence come up!
……
Ps: I am a little tired, so this chapter is a bit short today. I will make up for it tomorrow.
Chapter 722 Xia Tingyu, Xia Fengxiang
The Queen Mother didn't say a word to make Mu Xu feel embarrassed, and the Emperor's look made the Lord Chief Academician afraid to speak.
The others were of course surprised at what kind of poetry these beautiful verses that could not be cried out by the monkeys on both sides of the river were, but after all, they did not have the courage and cheekiness of the great priest Mu, so they endured and did not dare to ask.
Besides, there are other things going on today.
The literary gathering went on as usual, and after Xia Fengxiang said, "You can do whatever you want, don't worry about us," everyone was still a little timid.
The emperor's majesty shocked everyone.
Although Xia Fengxiang seemed to be very friendly to others on weekdays, everyone knew that this empress would kill or punish people with just a wave of her hand, and her every move was unpredictable and treacherous. It was like living with a tiger to accompany the empress.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Just continue. I also want to hear your opinions and suggestions on my point just now, as well as some things about the two poems."
When the queen spoke, everyone began to act reserved, but after Su Wenqing, Mr. Zhao, Xun Kuang and others took the lead, the literary gathering gradually became lively.
But more often than not, the scholars and officials held different opinions on Su Changan's recent "unity of knowledge and action".
There are also reasons for different opinions on "Spring River Moon Night" and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
But the so-called literary gathering is naturally like this.
It was originally agreed that everyone would compete in poetry and prose, but now no one dared to submit their poems.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the students were even more lively, arguing constantly, while the people in the outer arena, who should have been the most noisy, were unusually quiet.
Every martial artist held "Spring River Moonlight Night" in their hands and studied it carefully. Even though the Queen was only in her early twenties, her strength was real. On the day of the world meeting, many martial artists were present at the scene. Although they were not elsewhere, everyone in the capital felt the battle clearly.
In terms of strength, there is no doubt that the Empress is one of the top ten people in the world. This poem also contains her insights, which can't help but make people in the martial arts world salivate, especially the movement of Lian Xinglan, the leader of Tianzhi Pavilion just now. It is obvious that he saw some signs of breakthrough in the poem. It goes without saying whether this poem contains the Empress' insights.
Therefore, the people in the martial arts world were unusually quiet. Even if there was occasional movement, it was just to ask the scholars around them for advice on poetry.
Or maybe some of the braver ones ran to where Liu Xuer and the others were and paid their respects. They had selfish motives, hoping to be noticed by these seniors, but it was rare to see these great seniors, so they did so.
but
In fact, the banquet outside the Prince of Shu's Palace was also keeping quiet, or even completely silent.
Everyone who heard "Spring River Moonlight Night" and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" also heard what the Queen Mother and the scholars from the Western Regions said about "Unity of Knowledge and Action".
The students outside were completely speechless.
Just like when they heard the poems written by the Queen Mother before, no one could say a word.
Finally someone said, "How about we also worship the portrait of the empress?"
Why worship?
amazing!
The poem can achieve this level, and even put forward the psychological thoughts that only saints and sages can have. Needless to say, it is obvious that he is blessed with literary luck. Maybe he can get some literary luck by bowing down to him, and then he may even pass the imperial examination!
The people in the martial arts world were even more exaggerated. When they heard that poetry could help people practice martial arts, they were even more obsessed. Compared with the people inside, they were even crazier just because they were invited. In fact, most of them were disciples of big sects. Those who were not invited were mostly lone wolves and were even crazier about martial arts.
Of course, it was because of what had shocked the elder sister.
So at that moment, Su Liheng, Su Qingning, Li Xingyue and Xu Yuan went straight into the palace.
Right now, I'm with Su Linhan and the others.
Su Qingning reached out and touched the little bald head's head, completely ignoring the little bald head's reluctant expression. But in fact, the little bald head was reluctant for a moment, and then Su Qingning immediately looked at Gu Chiyu.
It is said that when a sister hits her brother, she is really ruthless. Gu Chiyu kicked the little bald boy on the buttocks, and then said, "What's wrong with letting your sister Qingning touch you a few times!"
So the little bald head sat there feeling aggrieved and could only let himself be touched.
Su Qingning stroked the little bald boy's head with one hand and looked at Su Linhan: "Sister, should I run home later to tell my aunt and uncle that my elder sister has risen to a higher level in the hearts of scholars? My aunt has been very irritable recently."
Su Linhan glanced at the little bald head and reached out to help him out. Su Qingning was not happy, but when she saw Su Linhan frowned, she immediately withdrew her hand.
The little bald head immediately ran to Qi Pei, then looked at Su Linhan and blushed. Ever since he saw Su Linhan and Su Wan'er, the little bald head's eyes had been wide open.
How should I put it? The little bald guy feels that a scholar is like Sister Su Linhan, and a swordswoman is like Sister Su Wan'er, who are pretty~~ His sister is nothing!
After taking a look at the little bald head's appearance, Su Linhan smiled gently, making the little bald head blush and hide behind Qi Pei. This caught the attention of Gu Chiyu, who narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Linhan looked at Su Qingning and said, "You'll know when you get back. Why are you so anxious? If mother knows that my elder sister has left the palace, she will have to worry about this and that again."
Su Qingning said "Oh".
Then Su Qingning couldn't help it, she looked at Su Linhan and said, "Sister, I think the four of us sisters are really amazing. Big sister doesn't need to say anything, you don't need to say anything, not to mention me, Wan'er has taken away the limelight from the three of us."
Su Linhan looked at Su Qingning helplessly.
Su Qingning continued, "Sister, when I first came in, those people in the martial arts world were talking about you, saying that you were pretty and so on. Moreover, several of them were the young masters of the Sui Ning Sect and wanted to meet you. Should I tell Sister Ruyu? After all, Sister Lian Wei is not busy now. I won't disturb you guys from arguing."
Noticing the look on her sister's face, Su Qingning immediately planned to slip away.
Su Linhan looked at her sister and sighed, "If they didn't come to us, we can only speculate. How can we talk about it? And even if they did come to us, just be honest. You just want to pick a fight. No wonder your second uncle wrote to ask father to discipline you! He even asked you to enter the palace as a female doctor to follow Maomao..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Linhan saw that Su Qingning had already run to where Qi Pei was. She felt helpless, but then she thought, according to what her grandfather said, Qingning should be like this now. How could she enter the palace when she just started studying medicine? This is not the way to learn the rules.
So I turned back
But when he turned around, he saw Lian Xinglan. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked towards where Lian Xinglan was, and called Liu Baishi to go with him when he left.
Liu Baishi had wanted to go there for a long time, although he didn't know why. But just now he heard people in the martial arts world talking about what happened to Pavilion Master Lian, so he just didn't dare to go there.
Because Liu Baishi always felt that he didn't seem to be in the eyes of Pavilion Master Lian, and Pavilion Master Lian appreciated Su Linhan more.
Su Qingning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her second sister did not chase after her. How wonderful it was to be free. Why did they want her to enter the palace to be a female doctor or something? It would be so uncomfortable.
Looking back there, Su Qingning saw Sister Niuniu grabbing Su Liheng and talking about something. Looking at the helpless and bitter expression on the face of the Crown Prince, she thought that she must be saying something weird.
Looking over there, Xingyue just went to greet her father, and Lu Yuanzhi also said that they should go and pay a visit together.
But now she was surrounded by a group of adults, and Xingyue was shaking her head and blushing. It was obvious that they were being joked on again, so she couldn't disturb them.
So he lowered his head and looked at Qu Youwei and Qi Pei.
Qi Pei looked down at "Spring River Moon Night".
Su Qingning looked at Qu Youwei and smiled. She had a good impression of this new courtesan in the capital. After all, she looked weak and easy to bully.
