    Fang Jifan found it incredible.

    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t had a brain attack, thenhe remembered that he didn¡¯t seem to have had any in-depth communication with Wang Shouren.

    These days, several disciples stayed at the Hanlin Academy during the day and hurried to Xishan at night. They got on the sedan early the next morning, took a nap in the sedan, and went directly to the Hanlin Academy for duty!  There is little time to communicate with each other.

    But seeing Wang Shouren crying with gratitude, Fang Jifan really felt confused.

    At this time, Wang Shouren still had tears in his eyes and said with emotion: "At first, the students never understood why the teacher asked the students to come to Xishan to teach. The students were quite critical of the teacher. They thought in their hearts that they were already in the Hanlin Academy.  I am exhausted, but I still need to travel back and forth like this, just to teach a group of schoolchildren, it is really overqualified."

    "But today, the disciple suddenly realized the good intentions of the teacher. The teacher wanted to teach the students a vital truth. The students learned from the teacher about simplicity and knowledge, but there was still one thing that they still couldn't understand.  , is it really possible to pursue the Great Way by simply relying on the simplicity of the Great Way and the unity of knowledge and action?"

    "No, before this simplicity and knowledge and practice, there is another truth. This is the essence of the teacher's knowledge."

    Fang Jifan¡¯s small body trembled: ¡°Keep talking.¡±

    "Empathy!" Wang Shouren said these four words carefully, his eyes suddenly shining brightly.

    "What is Tao? The Tao of the sage lies in benevolent government. To implement benevolent government and pursue great governance in the world, knowledge and action must be unified. But how to know? The so-called knowledge does not mean to make the sage's principles more complicated, but to understand the sage directly.  Simplifying the essence of the Tao, this is the simplicity of the Tao. But why should a person pursue benevolent government? If one does not pursue benevolent government, then what is the use of the simplicity of the Tao and the unity of knowledge and action? "

    "This is what the teacher wants students to understand - empathy. The purpose of pursuing benevolent government lies in the people. Therefore, the people are the foundation. But if scholars do not know the people, the so-called benevolent government is just rhetoric and talking about doctrines."

    Fang Jifan¡¯s body was shaken again. Damn it, you have a theory and you still keep saying it?

    Sure enough, it¡¯s not unreasonable for someone like Saint Wang to appear only after hundreds of years. He can figure out one, two, three, four, five, or six for everything, and then think about it, oh, now it¡¯s time to just think about it and analyze it later.  , finally summarized and finally formed a theory.

    It¡¯s really amazing.

    Wang Shouren continued: "The students came to Xishan. They not only taught schoolchildren, but also negotiated with miners and farmers in Xishan. Only then did they realize that what they were pursuing in their hearts was not actually a peaceful and prosperous age, benevolent government, or a world of saints.  They don't think about great governance. What they see is whether they can eat an extra piece of meat today and whether they can buy another piece of clothing for their wives and children tomorrow. We often say that the so-called great governance means not picking up lost items on the road and not closing the house at night. Students  I took it for granted before.¡±

    "But now, I know that I am wrong. I am absolutely wrong. The essence of great governance in the world is to respond to the needs of the people and serve what the people want. The results that scholars want are not the results that the common people want. Scholars  The great governance they pursue stems more from their own needs than from the needs of the real people."

    "The student then continued to think. When the student was studying, he also thought that if the common people could not pick up things on the road and not close their homes at night, then the world would be in great order. But later I realized that this was just the world that the students thought about.  It's just a great cure. Because students have never tasted the feeling of hunger, they naturally don't think that everyone should have food to eat. Because students have never experienced being cold, they don't think that people have new clothes to wear.  Great rule of the world."

    "If someone had told students in the past that the essence of benevolent government is to have food to eat and clothing to wear, students would have despised it and thought it was too vulgar. But now, students understand that the real shallow and vulgar people are the students themselves.  , because students have enough food and new clothes, they ignore the simplest needs of the people and talk about benevolent politics. Isn't this the opposite?"

    "The sage said that only by being honest and sincere can you unite your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. But how to be honest and sincere? Now the students understand that being honest and sincere means empathizing. Only by truly contacting the most ordinary people,  Only then can we know what is urgent and what is needed, and only then can we understand the suffering of the people, and then what is benevolent government."

    "Therefore, before we can unite knowledge and action, we need to know the simplicity of the road, and the simplicity of the road must first have empathy. Only in this way can we implement benevolent government Now, the student finally knows that the teacher does not want me to waste time in the Hanlin Academy.  Guangyin, aloof and self-proclaimed, prided himself on being clear. So he took great pains to order his students to come to the West when they were off duty.Mountain, truly understand the suffering of the people, this is exactly what our teacher wants us to experience on our own.  "

    "" Fang Jifan's little body trembled again and he felt a little pain in his waist. If this continues, will there be a possibility of kidney deficiency?

    Tang Yin was listening, with a look of shame on his face.

    ¡°I see, Junior Brother Wang¡¯s understanding is really extraordinary, why didn¡¯t I think of it?  I pride myself on being talented and smart, but I cannot appreciate the painstaking efforts of my mentor.

    With a sense of shame, he hurriedly bowed to Fang Jifan and said: "Teacher, the student is bound to die, but the student does not know the key points of the teacher"

    Fang Jifan thought in his heart, actually I haven¡¯t understood this level of essentials even as a teacher. Well, I¡¯m afraid not many people can understand it like this, so don¡¯t be ashamed.

    "Not bad!" Well, he already has a thick skin anyway, and he has done a lot of shameless things, so naturally there is no psychological pressure. Fang Jifan raised his chin slightly and looked towards the beam: "Oh, work hard."

    Empathy?

    Your sister, why didn¡¯t I think of that? Well, what you said is really good.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A memorial was hurriedly delivered to Xiao Jing's hands.

    This is an urgent report from Guizhou. It was sent urgently by Yang Xiong Baili, the lieutenant general of Guizhou.

    "Commander General Jinglong disobeyed the governor's orders, went to war without permission, and put Guiyang in danger?"

    Xiao Jing squinted his eyes, frowned slightly, and paced back and forth.

    "The Fang family father and son are really awesome. They really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."

    What kind of method is this?

    After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Jing couldn't understand.

    "Godfather, are you" The eunuch following him looked at Xiao Jing with a smile.

    "Should we report it to His Majesty quickly?" Xiao Jing looked at the little eunuch with the same smile.

    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s all up to the godfather to make the decision?¡±

    "You." Xiao Jing shook his head and said: "Look, you also know that we have to make the decision, but for the same thing, what the people above you think are unpredictable. Do you think you can guess?  What are we thinking about? Come on, tell me."

    The young eunuch wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Xiao Jing's face became stern, he hurriedly said tremblingly: "Fang Jifan doesn't take you seriously. I'm thinking, isn't this a good thing? My godfather can take this opportunity to see your majesty  "

    "You are indeed smart and you guessed it right." Xiao Jing glanced at him happily: "You are really a roundworm in our belly. We are very happy to have a son like you."

    Xiao Jing smiled, but suddenly, his smile turned sinister: "But you are just stupid. In this world, we don't have the final say. You have guessed us, but there is a Holy One above us. The Holy One  You haven¡¯t considered the idea, but we have to consider it.¡±

    "My slaves will die." The young eunuch was so frightened that he dared not speak out.

    Xiao Jing lazily raised his eyes and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Fang Jifan has done a great service by offering sweet potatoes, but the commander-in-chief does not listen to orders. This can be called a situation where the general is outside and the emperor's orders are not accepted."  . It can also be said that he has evil intentions, he can be loyal to his duties, or he has uneasy and good intentions. Tell me, what will His Majesty think? "

    The young eunuch obviously didn¡¯t dare to make random guesses anymore, and said timidly: ¡°Godfather¡­ this slave¡­ this slave doesn¡¯t know.¡±

    "So you are stupid. If we send you this kind of news, His Majesty will not be happy, so he will just take out his anger on us. But he calmed down, thinking that the Fang family has served the Ming Dynasty for generations and made great contributions to the government, and his anger suddenly  If it disappears, then nothing will happen. At most, the imperial edict will be sent, with a stern warning, and Fang Jinglong will be scolded so that he can obediently plead guilty. But scolding each other means nothing. We finally understand that the Fang family father and son  , each one competes with the other to be thick-skinned, for them, this is no pain or itch, nothing is difficult in the world, isn't it? "

    "You see, we are the ones who suffer anyway. When they are scolded, His Majesty treats them as ministers, and when he treats ministers, he scolds them because they are still needed. But we are slaves, and slaves are to serve others.  When a minister is scolded and displeased by the king, the most he can do is let them enter the palace to see him. But if slaves like us make your majesty upset and your majesty kicks us away, and we can no longer serve your majesty, then  What is it again?"

    Xiao Jing glanced at the young eunuch mockingly, snorted coldly, and then continued: "You bitch, you have a bad idea. Even if you need to report this urgently, it's not for me to report it. Don't Jin Yiwei have an informant? The Ministry of War  Won¡¯t there be a memorial? Don¡¯t they know how to report it?¡±

    "I understand." The young eunuch forced a smile and said, "I understand, this urgent report has never existed at all."

    "Yeah." Xiao Jing nodded, thoughtfully: "Let me teach you a lesson."

    The young eunuch quickly said respectfully: "Please give me a clear explanation, godfather."

    "Those who are slaves cannot have a heart. Without a heart, there will be no likes and dislikes. Without likes and dislikes, one can follow one's nature. What does one mean by one's nature? That is whatever the Holy One likes, we will like, Your Majesty.  We must be close to whomever we want to get close to. Whoever the Holy Spirit wants to die, even if this person is your biological father, you must be the first to pounce on him and strangle him to death!"
