Dao fruit.

Because of people's heart, choose a person's position?

Hearing this horoscope, all the Confucian scholars were stunned for a moment, their doubts did not diminish, but they still understood the meaning of this sentence.

These words are actually saying that Guangwu is good at governance, conforms to the people's hearts, and selects suitable people for corresponding official positions.

"However, what does this have to do with dividing and ruling the Central Plains and grasslands?"

Most people still couldn't figure it out, waiting for Qiu Yan's next words.

Qiu Yan didn't keep them waiting, and said: "The grassland is different from the Central Plains. Even if they are under the same command, there will be friction. Therefore, it is inevitable to follow the people's hearts. Therefore, we must divide and conquer, that is, to prevent the wrong people from occupying positions and making choices." The relationship between people, weather, who to choose and who to discard, is not related to a position, but to the atmosphere of the whole range."

Zhang Shun said: "Master, you mean that if the Central Plains and the Grasslands are mixed together instead of separated from each other, it will disturb the atmosphere of the whole team?"

"This is just one of them. You must know that when the atmosphere is chaotic, it will often collapse without fighting, and it is more likely to cause internal strife. It is undoubtedly unwise." Qiu Yan turned to look at him.

"In this way, is it wrong for the sages to seek unity and focus on oneness?" At this time, Zhang Shun's brows became more and more tightly frowned, and the head of the head was slightly bent, which was a sign of confusion in his thoughts.

"Of course it's not wrong. Those truths are also the valuable experience summed up by the sages after experiencing the disputes among the nations. It's just that this is the benefit of the great unifier, so that future generations can use it as the goal. It's not the time. We must use a unified approach to deal with problems at all times." Facing the rhetorical question, Qiu Yan said calmly, "The ultimate goal is to achieve 'set in one', but we cannot use the results to deal with the process."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, pointed to everyone present and asked: "Everyone knows that great Confucians have profound knowledge, and they all want to become great Confucians. Does it feel normal?"

"Of course it's wrong. If you are not a great Confucian, but treat others with the attitude of a great Confucian, no one will be convinced at all." This truth, even Hua She can understand it when he thinks about it.

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "The goal is good, but how can it be achieved overnight? It must be practiced step by step. This is a process of accumulation. It is impossible to skip the process and get the result directly. You have seen the scenery and majesty of the great Confucianism , instead of complaining about why you can’t act like a Confucian, you should set goals and work towards them bit by bit.”

That's it.All kinds of memories flashed in Qiu Yan's heart, and slowly gathered in the heart fire, glowing brightly. These memories included the memories of believers and people possessed by demons, and also included the experience of this life, as well as the dust of the previous life.

There are many reasons, and it is not easy in all ages.

"So. The ultimate goal of dividing and conquering is to unify the chaos. This process is actually enlightenment." Qiu Yan brought the topic back to the grassland, "Education is not indoctrination. You can't instill what you think is right In other people's hearts, they should be guided according to the situation. Let them experience it slowly in their ordinary lives, and it is best to understand it by themselves."

After saying this, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt an invisible force coming from all directions!

"So it turns out that water control involves breaking up rivers and deep rivers, but not blocking them with dikes. It turns out that this is the reason. Water control is like enlightenment. The fundamental method is to dig out blocked river channels and dig deep into river beds, rather than building embankments to block water flow..."

On the other side, a Confucian scholar in the crowd suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.It was obvious that the problem that had been bothering him for a long time had been figured out, and the column of Evans' arrogance on his head suddenly rose a little bit.

Others looked at him with envy, and he also seemed to be dancing, but he immediately restrained himself and became more respectful.

On the steps, Qiu Yan ignored the invisible pressure on his body, and continued: "Let the people of the grassland realize the benefits of the way of order, and then guide them, and it will naturally happen. It's just that this process cannot be rushed or short. In order to be self-defeating, if it is short, there will be hidden dangers, and Qiu does not dare to say that he has achieved it in just two months, at most he has planted a seed, which will be watered in the future."

"The sentences that Mr. said have been seen in books before, but they have never been so clear. The articles in the book are all understood by looking at the words and sentences, so it will inevitably appear a bit rigid." Hu Ye said in a timely manner. Shout out flattery.

Qiu Yan glanced at him and said: "Reading books is learning, you can extend knowledge, practice it, you can understand the way. If you know but don't do it, you still don't know. The sacred learning is just a kung fu. Knowing and doing are inseparable. The righteous way, through practice, sums up the truth, and it can also be learned.”

Speaking of this, he pointed to Zhang Shun and said, "Just like Zhang Shun, I told you to think for yourself in the morning, not because I was afraid that you would ask questions. Even if you want to come up with something, you can still ask and do it. , if Zhang Shun didn't come to ask, how could I say this? How would you know? This is knowing after doing."

Such a remark immediately inspired many people, and gave them a new understanding of the "knowledge and action" advocated by Qiu Yan.

This lecture is really unique. Qiu Yan first talked about his own experience, and extended the meaning of the scriptures, followed by answering other people's questions, citing the scriptures, as if chatting with others, dissecting a matter, summing up some truths, directly bringing it to the present, and applying it to the scholars present. Everything he did was detailed, even Hua She felt a sense of enlightenment and showed excitement.

"It turns out to be like this, to know and to practice, that's the truth!" He recorded all the insights he got with excitement, for fear of forgetting them when he went back, but then he heard Qiu Yan say——

"I've said so much, I think many people are still wondering about one thing, which is how to get the truth and law from the usual trivial things."

As soon as Hua She said this, Hua She's hand holding the pen froze in an instant. This was the problem that troubled him. He had been thinking about it all noon, but there was no result. How could he not care about it? below.

"Actually, the key lies in the heart and the eyes. Think with the heart and see with the eyes. Zhang Shun asked questions. If he didn't think through the heart, how could he have doubts? Qiu was on the grassland to see with the eyes. In order to sum up some things. Conversely, the question he asked alone contains the truth of practice, and there are many truths in my division of the Central Plains and Grassland factions on the grassland..."

"Heart and eyes?" Hua She looked at the brush in his hand, showing a thoughtful expression.

"As long as you always look with your eyes, think with your heart, and then practice it, you will have questions everywhere. The more you ask, the more subtle it will be. The ancient sages said..."

"Learn from things!"

………………

"Looking at things to know..."

On the way back, Hua She was still thinking about this word over and over again.

Confucian scholars with some experience will not be unfamiliar with this word, because many schools of thought have mentioned this word, and said it in "University", but they have their own annotations. Today, the two Chen words are the most popular, which can be called "Great things and poor reasoning".

In this regard, what Qiu Yan said today is very close to the theory of the two Chens.

Therefore, when Qiu Yan uttered this word, the Confucian scholars in the courtyard at that time all thought of the two Chen's theories, but soon discovered a little difference, and devoted themselves to memorizing it.

"No wonder it is said that Qiu Xiu compiled the great achievements of Chen and Maxiang. Listening to his lectures, the deeds of the ancients are all at hand. A few words can point to the core. It must be the historian's foundation. It looks like it was born out of Mr. Chen's theory, but it is different from what I have seen before..."

Recalling the scene during the lecture, Hua She thought silently.

He works as a servant in Meng's mansion during the day, and helps in the engraving library of Meng's family at night. Besides wanting to make money to supplement his family, he also wants to take advantage of the favorable location to get in touch with and read more books.

For engraving and engraving, first of all, there must be someone to copy. Hua She can write handwriting. In addition to helpers, he sometimes helps to copy. Naturally, I have seen many books and articles. The theoretical articles of the two Chens are also I came into contact with it at that time, so after listening to Qiu Yan's narration, I was able to express my feelings.

However, after the lecture came to an end, he could not ask Qiu Yan questions like other Confucian scholars. Instead, he simply ate a little and hurried back to the engraving library.

With the help of Meng Wei and others, he could ask for leave for the daytime work, but at that moment, the library job was something he had managed to get, so he couldn't easily miss it.

Back at the workshop, Hua She immediately became busy, not daring to slack off.

He didn't have time to breathe until the moon was in the middle of the sky. His face was full of tiredness, but he refused to go back. Instead, he greedily looked at the many books in the room and counted them one by one, thinking of Qiu Yan. said things.

"See the real chapter in the subtleties. There are articles everywhere in the world. You can learn from things and make things clear. I don't know what truths are hidden in the things and things around me?"

While talking, he walked around the room, his nose was filled with the fragrance of ink, but he was still thinking about it, trying to find out some truths from around him to confirm what he learned today.

At the end of today's lecture, Qiu Yan suggested that the participating Confucian scholars try to find some clues from the little things around them after they go back and try it out.

Now, what Hua She said to Qiu Yan is regarded as the standard, so how could he not try?

However, he looked up and down like this, but he was at a loss. Finally, he thought of what Qiu Yan said, "You might as well start with the most familiar things", and he had another idea in his mind, so he turned around and walked through the library, back to the printing press. In the lobby, I turned around, sometimes picked up the paper, sometimes smelled the ink, but still couldn't find a clue.

"Sigh! My aptitude is too poor, my brain is too stupid, even if I have the secret, I still can't do it." But he took what Qiu Yan said as some kind of secret, and felt that it was difficult for him to comprehend.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, Hua She lowered his head and walked to the table, his eyes dropped, and happened to land on a few printing plates on the table, he was in a daze, and suddenly his heart moved.
