I'm really not doing business

Chapter 70
Yang Bo didn't know how to answer Zhang Juzheng's question, or couldn't answer His Majesty's seemingly ignorant question.

Children's truth is the most hurtful, and sincerity is the greatest nirvana.

The ten-year-old owner feels deeply about Yang Bo's past gentlemanly conduct, and also feels deeply about Yang Bo's various villainous behaviors in order to protect the interests of the Jin Party.

In virtue, the gentleman and the villain talk to each other, but the gentleman is also Yang Bo, and the villain is also Yang Bo.

"Oh." Yang Bo only had a heavy sigh, he couldn't answer this question.

If you say you are a villain, you are denying your past; if you are a gentleman, you are denying your present. No matter how you answer, it is self-contradictory.

In the last journey of his life, Yang Bo was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Looking at Yang Bo's appearance, Zhang Juzheng knew that Yang Bo was in a dilemma. He told the story of the banquet in detail. Now it is just an example to discuss whether Yang Bo is a gentleman or a villain. Bo problem, not Yang Bo itself.

"Metaphysics is Tao, and metaphysics is tool. Now that we discuss this question metaphysically, how should I answer this question?" Zhang Juzheng said with a frown. In terms of learning, it was the first time that Zhang Juzheng had such a serious problem in so many years. Confuse.

Yang Bo thought for a while and said: "This is the reason why I refuse to agree to you. Above knowledge, those who have mastered it come first. Your understanding of Dao is already far above mine. Questions that you can't even answer, I will even ask you." I can't answer, and when I went to the Wenhua Palace to give a lecture, I just lost my face again."

When teaching the little emperor to read, Yang Bo could only keep ambiguous, talk about him left and right, his majesty asked the rules, he could only speak the facts, and his majesty asked the facts, he could only speak the rules, that would not be a traitorous minister ?

Zhang Juzheng is very lonely. This is true in terms of learning and state affairs. In terms of learning, only Yang Bo can sit and discuss the Tao with Zhang Juzheng.

"Let's start with the one-word discussion." Zhang Juzheng sat up straight, and he planned to discuss with Yang Bo. He had a vague answer in his mind, but he didn't know how to describe it. The more he argued, the more clear the reason.

Yang Bo can still tell him a few words, those Confucian scholars of the Imperial Academy, even the unity of knowledge and action and conscience, can remove the unity of knowledge and action, leaving only Zhiliangzhi, understanding Zhiliangzhi as: As long as there is conscience, everything will be fine .

This kind of metaphysical learning of the mind does not conform to the reality of practice. Wang Yangming emphasized the importance of action more than once. its height.

On May 24, the moon came out of Dongshan like a tooth, and the stars shone brightly in the sky. The spring breeze blew the branches and leaves of the hackberry and willow trees with a little coolness, and the hanging ribbons swayed non-stop in the Yanhui Pond, setting off waves of ripples and breaking up In the shadow of the moon in the water, the sound of banhu and bangdi from the theater building was introduced into Wenchang Pavilion along the spring breeze.

Zhang Juzheng kept tapping the table with his fingers, and said: "Send a mayfly to the world, just a drop in the vast ocean. Sorrow the moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. This is Su Shi's "Ode to the Former Red Cliff."

"We are like mayflies in the vast world, and we are as small as a corn in the sea. We lament that our life is only a short moment, envy the endless flow of the Yangtze River, and witness the vicissitudes of life several times, and witness so many heroes."

"Knowledge, our cognition of the infinite principle of all things, this cognition, in my opinion, has two aspects."

"The first aspect is metaphysical. All things are isolated, one-sided, static, and immutable. It seems that the principle of infinity of all things should have been like this since the beginning of existence. For example, we are still governing with Qin law , use Confucianism to cultivate oneself."

Yang Bo pondered for a while before opening his mouth and said: "Dong Zhongshu once said that the great origin of Tao comes from the sky, and if the sky does not change, so will the Tao. It is consistent with Bai Gui's thinking."

This knowing is a noun, the knowing of cognition.

Zhang Juzheng is not talking nonsense, the Qin law has been used for a hundred generations to manage politics, and the Confucianism has been used for self-cultivation and education in the past dynasties. It seems that it has always been like this, but it has always been like this, right?

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Secondly, our cognition of the infinite principle of all things is physical, and it is the experience gained from practice. We find that all things are connected, moving, and changing with each passing day. It seems that the principle of infinity is like the water of the Yangtze River, the water is impermanent, so the principle is not permanent."

"All things are connected to each other. The moon in the water is the reflection of the moon in the palace of heaven. The moon in the water is broken up by the ripples caused by the willow leaves. The swaying of the willow leaves is the wind blowing, and the willow tree planted by the water is my original Plant it when you enter Beijing."

"Infinite things, one thing and one thing, are interconnected and affect each other."

Yang Bo looked at the scattered moon shadow in the wild goose pool again, and there was a big difference. He seemed to have a new understanding of the infinite principle of all things.

Yang Bo thought for a long time before he said: "The sky is constantly changing, and the Tao is also constantly changing. One yin and one yang are called Tao. The successor is good, and the success is also nature. You can't hold one as a fixed image, and you can't name it. Yes, it is true."

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Metaphysically, the books of sages and sages, the Chinese language of the heart, the benevolence and morality, and all physics, are our understanding of the infinite principle of all things, which is a strong shield that nothing can fall into."

"Practically, practice, see what you see, observe what you get, and observe what you get, is a sharp spear that traps everything."

"What's the difference between the invincible shield and the invulnerable spear? When a sharp spear pierces a solid shield, sparks will come out, and when the reality of practice collides with metaphysical knowledge, doubts will arise. When we solve these doubts, We will have a clearer understanding of the principles of all things.”

When Yang Bo heard this, his eyes flickered, and he agreed quite a bit: "Bai Gui is a great talent in the world, and he suddenly became enlightened after hearing the words, like enlightenment."

Zhang Juzheng continued: "This is the case with people, and so is the community. If people do not solve these doubts about the reality of cognition and practice, they will die; if the community does not understand these doubts, it will perish. Ming replaces Yuan, which is the great doubt aroused by contradictions, the inevitability of irreconcilability, and the inevitability of resolving and reconciling the great doubts aroused by contradictions."

"Contradiction exists among all things, and the great doubt of contradiction is where all things are infinitely advanced."

Because the sharp spear of experience obtained through down-to-earth practice has an impact on the strong shield of inherent cognition, doubts will inevitably arise.

Similarly, there are also various contradictions in the country, mountains, and society. If the doubts caused by these contradictions cannot be eliminated, it will become inevitable for the Han Dynasty to Qin, Tang to succeed Sui, Yuan to destroy Song, and Ming to replace Yuan. Similarly, this is also a process of solving doubts.

Yang Bo hit his right palm with his left fist, and said excitedly: "Where there is reason, what is reason, Bai Gui's words are better than reading ten years of books, that's it, it really is."

"Then Yang Dazai, is he a gentleman or a villain?" Zhang Juzheng returned the question.

Obviously, Yang Bo's strong cognitive shield and practical spear have conflicted. This is the root cause of Yang Bo's embarrassment in the court.

"So, I plan to return to my hometown after I pass the test in Beijing, and I have packed up my things." Yang Bo answered this question. He chose to escape, unable to solve the doubts in his heart, so he simply did not solve it.

"Is Dazai willing?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown. Yang Bo was evading and dodging. In this matter, Yang Bo chose to be a coward, which made Zhang Juzheng a little disappointed.

Yang Bo smiled wryly, shook his head slightly dejectedly and said, "I'm old, Bai Gui, I'm old."

Sitting in Wenchang Pavilion, the two listened to the gurgling water and cuckoos singing to the moon, watched the palace lanterns in the theater go out, the voices of people faded away, and the night gradually deepened. They looked at each other speechlessly.

"Dazai, did you come here for Ma Gui, Ma Jin and others?" Zhang Juzheng asked Yang Bo's purpose.

"Exactly, I would like to ask Yuan Fu to raise your hand. Ma Gui and Ma Jin are determined and victorious. They are good at using soldiers and have made many military exploits. They raided Bansheng, defended the capital, and guarded the border. They are talents for a while. It is a pity to abandon them. , Yuan Fu, with the intention of enriching the country and strengthening the army, killing the military generals will probably hurt the hearts of the soldiers." Yang Bo admitted that he came for the Jin party.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I didn't want to kill people at first, but Xuanda's deputy commander, general, and corruption can be done with meritorious deeds, but he can't go back to Xuanda to serve."

Bing Jing and Tan Jing are institutional corruption. This kind of institutional corruption has caused extremely serious damage to the administration of officials, but Zhang Juzheng has no good solution. These are old diseases. If His Majesty is young and strong, Zhang Juzheng I can still take care of one or two, but His Majesty is still aging, so Zhang Juzheng can't move.

You Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the cabinet. As the minister of the prime minister, life and death are in your hands. You have great power. You not only want power, but also fame and reputation. What are you going to do?
"The Dazai still wants to restrain Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei one or two. If they make trouble again, I can't blame my subordinates for being merciless." Zhang Juzheng said quite seriously.

Talking about this, Yang Bo shook his head and said, "Yan Shifan is Yan Song's own son, and even Yan Song can't restrain them. I, an old man who is about to retire, can restrain them?"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng could only shake his head and say, "That's true."

Yang Bo leaned forward halfway and said, "Bai Gui, how do you seek your life when you seek the country so much?"

"I know, I know, you don't care, but you can't ignore your new law, right? Are you willing to die? I'm not as knowledgeable as you, and I'm not as ambitious as you, but I thought of a way to make a living. "

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Zhang Juzheng looked at Yang Bo, frowning slightly.

"Haha, I knew you cared. It's useless for you to appease the Jin Party. If it was useful, you would have agreed to be my in-law." Yang Bo leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "The authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear, Bai Gui Being in the game, I don’t feel any difference.”

"Actually, Bai Gui's way of earning a living is far away in the sky and close in front of his eyes. It is His Majesty."

"Although your majesty is ten years old, he already has the image of being in charge. We are Ming, and your majesty is willing to support him. Bai Gui can seek glory and glory, but some people will definitely seek humiliation! If that insidious person knows that the assassin king kills his majesty I have to be wise, I don’t know if I will regret it.”

Zhang Juzheng was slightly suspicious, and then he showed a smile, it is true, His Majesty has great ambitions, and the country is very fortunate.

"There is one matter that requires Yang Dazai's cooperation." Since Zhang Juzheng let go of Ma Gui, Ma Jin and the others, he did not pursue it too much, so naturally there are conditions.
