Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 9 I got it, I got it! Hahaha~

Zhu Tuizhi and Xu Xinnian, the former stared blankly, while the latter had a calm expression but was secretly shocked.

What's going on, little brother?

Isn't this a request for advice? Could you please correct my insights?

Is this, this, this right?

This goes straight to Cheng Hui’s theory!

This is going to start an academic dispute.

This farewell gift is too generous.

The two were only briefly stunned, and then quickly joined in thinking about what Wei An said.

At first glance, Wei An's words seemed like sophistry.

Consider carefully...

A group of old gentlemen stood up.

Yang Gong, Chen Tai, Zhang Shen, and Li Mubai frowned in thought.

Some students with high comprehension ability are also understanding it.

Some are just one step away from success.

"If the principles of Heaven are human desires, then wouldn't everyone be able to achieve the principles of Heaven? Would everyone be a sage?"

Someone spoke.

This is an impatient person, but he also thinks about it.

Wei An took another half step forward, bowed to Master Chen and other great scholars and old teachers, climbed up a step of the pavilion, and when he turned around to face the students again, there was a sharpness in his brows.

"Prime Minister Cheng once said, 'Human desires are human heart, Heavenly principles are Dao heart, the Dao heart is the master, and the human heart obeys.' According to Prime Minister Cheng, people have two hearts: human heart and Dao heart."

"Prime Minister Cheng also said that Heavenly Principle and human desire are in opposition, that is, human heart and Dao Heart are in opposition. How can it be said that Dao Heart is the master and human heart should obey?"

“Thus, man has but one mind.”

This…

It seems like sophistry.

Is this what Cheng Xiang originally intended?

The student who asked the question scratched his head because it was itchy.

but…

He came to his senses in time and realized that this didn't answer his question.

Without waiting for the man to speak, Wei An raised his index finger, pointed at his left chest, raised it halfway, and said loudly, "A person has only one heart, and the heart is reason. This heart is free from selfish desires, and it is the law of nature. There is no need to add anything from the outside!"

The heart is reason!

boom!
Like a spring thunder!
Bursting with vitality!

Click!

It's like a sharp knife!

Something was cut off...

at this time
Back Mountain of Qingyun Mountain

The Sub-Sage Academy, including the Sub-Sage's statue, were all trembling slightly. The strange phenomenon immediately attracted Zhao Shou, the dean of Yunlu Academy, and his figure slowly appeared in the void.

Glancing around, he thought of something and muttered something to himself. His figure disappeared again, only to return soon. He frowned as he gazed at the gradually calming Sub-Sage Academy and the Sub-Sage statue. Puzzled, he couldn't help but mutter, "The stone tablet is still there, and no one has entered the Confucian Temple. What exactly is causing this unusual movement?"

...

Sheep Pavilion

"The principles of nature are human desires, and the heart is the principle! I understand, I understand! Hahahaha~"

An old man lived like a Taoist who had sought the truth for many years and finally found it, laughing wildly without caring about his image.

Not only this old gentleman, many students also had fireworks in their minds.

In fact, Wei An still has a lot to say.

Maybe the old man really understood it, or maybe he was too happy!
I've been suppressed for too long, too long!

The two ideas put forward by Wei An have already sounded the clarion call for Yunlu Academy's counterattack!

This is the consensus among all the great scholars, old gentlemen, and students present!

"Hu~~"

Li Mubai exhaled slowly, his expression becoming fierce.

The first thing he did was not to praise Wei An, but to look at Chen Tai, "I will report to the dean, and Wuyang will choose a new teacher. With your..."

"You old thief! Don't even think about it!"

Chen Tai reacted immediately and shouted angrily.

shameless!
Don’t delay him from praising his students!

"Hey, Youping, why are you angry? What Mu Bai said makes sense." Yang Gong said with a smile to smooth things over.

"You... Yang Gong, you are going to Qingzhou to take up your post today, why are you meddling in this?!" Chen Tai was so angry that he almost snapped his fingers.

"It doesn't matter if I take office a day or two later. I am very happy to have such a good disciple."

Yang Gong said, looking at Wei An, "No harm done, actually I was the first one..."

"We both belong to Yunlu Academy!"

Before he could finish his words, Chen Tai flew forward, grabbed Wei An's arm, and with just one word, the master and disciple disappeared from the Sheep Pavilion.

"You're really funny." Li Mubai smiled at Zhang Shen and Yang Gong.

The apprenticeship ceremony had already been completed. How could he be so shameless as to snatch his beloved disciple away? "A long-term accumulation of knowledge will lead to success!"

Zhang Shen stroked his beard and sighed.

"The poem to bid farewell to the old year is very good." Yang Gong said with a smile.

He looked at Xu Xinnian again, handed over the purple jade in his hand, and said softly, "Say goodbye to the old one, it's yours."

Xu Xinnian was stunned for a moment.

He was a very intelligent man, his eyes dimmed slightly as he stepped forward, took the jade pendant with both hands, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, sir."

The same is true for Zhu Tuizhi.

He still felt unwilling to lose to Xu Xinnian.

Against Wei An...

So powerless!

In the eyes of all the teachers and leaders, Wei An was no longer on the same level as them.

"Have you not seen the tall pine lying in the valley, trapped by wind and frost, yet standing tall to support the Mingtang? You all, you still have to work hard." Yang Gong encouraged the students in a loud voice and said goodbye to his good friends and old gentlemen one by one.

"Sir, I wish you a smooth journey and everything goes well!"

The students bowed in unison.

The great scholars stood by the roadside, some waving and some smiling as they saw us off.

Yang Gong got on the carriage and waved to everyone.

At this time, two figures emerged in the void, they were master and disciple Chen Tai and Wei An.

"Sir, the long wind bids farewell, the bright moon shines upon your return~"

Wei An stepped forward and chased the carriage for two steps, bowed and shouted.

Yang Gong smiled brightly and nodded slightly, "Just one sentence, it's really not good."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

"Go back."

Yang Gong shouted loudly and got into the carriage.

The horse's hooves lightly opened, and in the eyes of Wei An and the others, the carriage gradually moved away...

Yunlu Academy
“…knowledge is knowledge…”

“…Self-reflection on the three things…”

"... "

In the quiet room, Wei An pays off his debts every day.

He had no idea that the students in the academy were in an uproar because of his two words.

Outside the quiet room, several students who were leaning against the window and eavesdropping were filled with questions.

You have already reached the ninth rank, yet you are still reciting the saints' classics backwards?
Is this hard work or stupidity?
Several people left in confusion.

...

at the same time
A pavilion on the back mountain

"The principles of heaven are human desires, the heart is the principles; the principles of heaven are human desires, the heart is the principles..."

Zhao Shou repeated woodenly.

Unconsciously, the eyes regained their spirit and became moist.

"Dean."

Chen Tai's tone was concerned.

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai also looked over.

All three of them knew that the dean's gray hair and unkempt appearance were the result of his hard work and dedication in seclusion to overthrow the teachings of a certain traitor.

They also once thought that if one day, the person who would break the ideological shackles of Yunlu Academy would be the dean.

"Well, based on just these two sentences, that person's theory has no place to stand!"

Zhao Shou applauded repeatedly.

Although he had not yet officially fought and won, he could already foresee the scene of Confucianism being revitalized.

Chen Tai frowned and said, "There's something wrong. Wuyang said this is not complete yet. I think with so many people talking today, it's inevitable that someone will spread it. I'm afraid there will be constant trouble in the future. Dean, is it possible..."

"No need! He has a sharp weapon, so why should he fear the wind and rain? He wants to create the world, so why should he be afraid of those evil spirits? Wuyang's talent cannot be concealed or covered up. Besides, we are here for him." Before the battle even started, Zhao Shou had already entered combat mode.

Chen Tai, Zhang Shen and Li Mubai exchanged glances, and their eyes sparkled with brilliance!

...

The watchman's office, Haoqi Building

"Father."

Nangong Qianrou handed the paper to Wei Yuan with a complicated expression.

He was also well-versed in the classics of the sages, and was even more aware of the suppression of Yunlu Academy by Cheng Xiang's doctrine.

After taking the paper, Wei Yuan read it once, his eyes were stunned, and he quickly went back to read it again.

"Godfather, you covered up for him before and didn't let him attract too much attention. But now look what happened. I don't know how the Imperial College will cause trouble for him in the future." Nangong Qianrou's words were full of meaning. It seemed like a complaint, but in fact she was asking whether she should cover up for Wei An again.

Wei Yuan shook his head, a smile hidden in his eyes, and slowly rolled up the paper and put it away.

"Stand in the bag and let nature take its course."
