    Today, many ministers are sick and request to rest at home.

    Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused when he looked at the memorials for leave one after another.

    Liu Jian¡¯s old illness relapsed.

    Xie Qian is not feeling well.

    Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, sprained his foot last night.

    Bachelor of Hanlin University

    There are many reasons.

    "Of course, I still use the Spring and Autumn style of writing. Although I said I was sick, I didn't say that I was dead. I left a little leeway. The general meaning is that I may not be feeling well, so um take a rest.

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jing standing aside.

    Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Today is a grand gathering. New learning has become popular recently, and the great scholar of Neo-Confucianism"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

    This is a big event in the scholarly community. No wonder some people are reporting illness. Most of them are itchy and really want to see it, so they use the Spring and Autumn Period method. After all, directly say to the emperor, I want to join in the fun, Emperor Hongzhi  Gen Hong, I think he will give permission, but the memorial will be archived. If it is sent to the Hanlin Academy, or recorded and spread, it will have an impact on the reputation of the court.

    ??And reporting illness is not for the emperor, but for the people of the world. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not ask for leave just to join in the fun. Just kidding, if you are not sick and can't breathe, how dare you rest?

    Behind the memorial, it was hinted to the emperor that they were not really sick, butthere was something hidden.

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "It's really the right time, I actually became curious."

    At this time, a young eunuch came in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, the great scholar of the cabinet, and Ma Wensheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, want to see you."

    Emperor Hongzhi had just thought about it. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment.

    I really can¡¯t rest.

    After thinking for a while, I lowered my head and read the memorandum of leave.  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tell them there is no need to do anything today."

    "Your Majesty, they are all here"

    Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Just say that I am slightly unwell due to the cold, so I sent them back."

    "Follow the order."

    Emperor Hongzhi stood up and glanced at Xiao Jing.

    Xiao Jing already understood something.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "Don't make a big show of it."

    "This slave knows."

    "Where is the prince?"

    "His Royal Highness will definitely join in the fun. I think he will already be in Xishan."

    Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "He just joins in when there is excitement. He has no dignity at all."

    "Yes." Xiao Jing was thinking in his mind, Your Majestywon't you also want to join in the fun?  Of course, he did not dare to say: "Your Highness is still young, so naturally he is naughty."

    "Get ready to go."

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In Honglu Temple, a group of people walked out in a hurry.

    Walking in front was the King of North Korea, Li Yi.

    After that, there were envoys from two Korean countries.

    They were all wearing silk turbans and Confucian turbans, and they looked very handsome. Because they were traveling in casual clothes and could not trouble the officials of Honglu Temple, they took their money and came out.  So one of the envoys went to hire a sedan chair first. Outside Honglu Temple, there was actually a sedan bearer who bargained with the envoy: "Xishan, it's far away, three hundred yuan."

    "You're a turtle grandson." The envoy became anxious and began to mutter in fluent Chinese: "Damn it, I have a small building in North Korea, and it costs fifty yuan, but I want thirty-eight? Go ahead! You're fooling me.  Miles."

    When Li Yi heard this, he felt that his retainer had insulted the majesty of the Korean state, so he patted him on the shoulder from behind and said to the bearer: "Yes, 38 yuan is 38 yuan."

    After hearing this, the sedan bearer happily asked Li Yi to enter the sedan.

    Li Yi also heard from the officials in Honglu Temple that there would be an unusual debate at Xishan. He was very yearning for Sinology, not to mention that he also worshiped Liu Jie as his teacher. One of the debaters was actually his senior teacher.  Wang Shouren, it is said that his Confucianism is profound and unfathomable.

    This time, it¡¯s natural to join in the fun.

    After all, this is not a formal visit, so I am not worried about violating any etiquette.

    He got on the sedan chair. Although he was the king of a vassal, he still had to put on some airs to avoid being looked down upon.

    But even so, three hundred dollars feels distressed.

    The country of Korea is very barren. How barren is it? Even Lord Daewon's annual salary is only dozens of taels of silver. In the Ming Dynasty, fortunately, there is Honglu Temple.bsp; "Then why do students study bamboo but don't understand the principles of nature?"

    Wen Suchen took a deep breath. This Wang Shouren was really good at pestering. He was biting a piece of bamboo and chasing him hard. Obviously everyone is studying theory, so why are you always mentioning bamboo?

    "Actually I believe that things are all things, and the order of things comes and ends. When things come, the mind clearly distinguishes them, and does not respond to the things. This is the way to know, and the knowledge is perfect.  To be sincere in mind, sincere in mind leads to a righteous mind, and in a righteous mind to cultivate the body, if the body is cultivated, the family will be in order, the family will be in order, the country will be in order, and the state will be in order, the world will be peaceful. This is why those who can reach heaven and earth"

    Wen Suchen released his big killer weapon in one breath.

    Many people who came to cheer up secretly applauded. Mr. Wen was indeed a great Confucian who quoted scriptures and came out with his mouth open.

    Wang Shouren had a puzzled look on his face: "But why can't we understand the principles of all things by studying bamboo?"

    "Let's put the bamboo aside first." Wen Suchen was not that boring and had never examined bamboo before. Therefore, naturally, he could not gain any experience from examining bamboo: "Let's start by examining things to gain knowledge and be sincere.  ¡­¡±

    "If you don't know its meaning, then what's the use of checking bamboo? What's the use of checking things?" Wang Shouren suddenly shouted like a bell, "You can't know by looking at things. How can you correct your mind if you don't know it? How can you be sincere if your heart is not right?"  , If the intention is not sincere, how can one cultivate one's character? If one does not cultivate one's body, how can one keep the family in order? If the family is not in order, how can one govern the country? If the country is not well governed, the world will not be peaceful!"

    Wen Suchen blushed.

    ¡°This Wang Shourenhas a sharp tongue.

    He is obviously young and has no hair on his mouth. His own son is older than him. How come he has such a powerful mouth?

    Wen Suchen took a deep breath and said, "Sophistication!" He scolded him before anyone else, and Wen Suchen said in an equally stern tone: "Can a person who studies bamboo deny that knowledge can be gained through studying things?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
