Think about these words for yourself. In fact, there is no good or evil at all. Food and sex are also related to sex. It is not evil to like women. People have the nature of reproduction. This is the body of the heart. But if you see a girl thinking the same way, it is good.

If there is evil, this is the movement of intention.

The body of the heart is subjective, and the movement of the mind is the connection between the subjective and the objective. For example, you have thoughts about a certain girl.

With specific objects, there is good and evil.

When playing the P Club game, the player, as the monarch, raises the country's taxes to the highest level, and the people in the country are in dire straits. The player brutally suppresses the uprising and engages in militarism. There is no good or evil in this, because you have no connection with others. Someone uses this to judge you morally.

, you just call him Shabi.

If as an emperor who rules over the world, he does not care about the life and death of the people, this is evil.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Zhang Yue's explanation.

Whether it is good nature, evil nature, or a mixture of good and evil, neither good nor evil has made a mistake, that is, we only talk about subjectivity and not about objectivity. Leaving the specific object and analyzing the good and evil of a certain idea is purely subjective.

Seeking fish from a tree, talking nonsense, all efforts are in vain, this is typical idealism.

For example, Zhu Xi said that husband and wife are natural principles and are good, and three wives and four concubines are human desires and are evil.

But the problem is that it is divorced from objectivity. Ordinary people can not have three wives and four concubines, but the emperor cannot. For example, today, the ministers are eager for him to marry more and have more children.

In a thousand years, only Wang Yangming has seen through this.

He can put an end to the discussion of good and evil.

"What is a conscience?" Cheng Yifa asked. He thought about this question for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Yue said: "The first level is those who are born with them, and the other level is those who are acquired the day after tomorrow. They are lustful and admire Shao Ai. The body of their heart is based on emotion but only on etiquette. They are consciences."

When you see a girl you like a girl very much, this is your nature, but if you can express your emotions appropriately, this is your conscience. One of this conscience is shyness by nature and knows shame, and the other is acquired experience, which tells you not to be rude to a beautiful woman easily, otherwise you will bring very bad consequences.

To pursue a girl according to your conscience is to seek knowledge through investigation.

In addition to nature, people also have social attributes.

To put it bluntly, there are parts that we are born with, and there are parts that can be modified the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, if you really want to "return to your nature", then you should learn from chimpanzees. You must know that chimpanzees are famous for their cruelty in the population.

Cheng Yi questioned: "Mencius said that conscience means knowing without worrying. It should be known from birth."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, conscience is knowing without worrying, but it is not born knowing. For example, you and I are knowing without worrying now when we speak in the correct pronunciation, but the ability to speak is only a baby's babbling, and this will come later. You are taught, not born.”

Fan Zuyu said: "The meaning of Zhang Xianggong's words is that there is no good or evil in the human heart. Good and evil can only exist when the mind is involved. Knowing good and evil is what people get from their conscience. To do good and eliminate evil is to study things and gain knowledge. , that is, it is a success.”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

Fan Zuyu suddenly realized that all the previous books he had read were in vain. With Zhang Yue's words, Mencius's "conscience" theory was carried forward.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

Fan Zuyu asked. He took a pen and paper from a servant of the Zhang family to record today's debate between Zhang Yue and Sima Guang.

But Cheng Yi kept thinking about it, trying to get into trouble.

He read every inch of his reading. Once he got through it, his knowledge reached a new level.

Sima Guang retorted: "Human nature is one, how can it be said that the mind, body and conscience are divided into two."

However, Zhang Yue knew that no matter how pleasant his words were, Sima Guang would not agree with him. Zhang Yue smiled, but he did not defend himself.

At this time, Mr. Lu pushed the door open and said, "Xiangong Zhang is really a man of gold and jade!"

Only then did everyone realize that Mr. Lu had been listening outside for a long time.

Mr. Lu has taken a decisive step by taking this good friend of Sima Guang.

Lu Gong wrote: "So conscience must be good."

Zhang Yue said: "Exactly. This is what Mencius said below about the goodness of nature. Everyone has a conscience, but conscience needs to be practiced in order to gain knowledge."

In the final analysis, we still have to believe in human nature and obey it. At the same time, human nature also needs constant education and the constraints of authority and systems, but education and systems are only means, not ends.

Human beings are no longer gorillas, and their social nature is getting stronger and stronger. For example, Mencius mentioned compassion. When you see others in trouble, you will feel sympathy.

One sheep in the flock was eaten by a lion, but the other sheep were fine.

This is consistent with Zhang Yue’s philosophy that Confucianism is Tao and Legalism is art.

So I say my way is consistent!

To govern a country, the logic from top to bottom must be well designed.

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Mr. Lu was convinced, and unknowingly he had completely turned from Sima Guang to Zhang Yue.

On this day, everyone talked until night. Zhang Yue wanted to entertain Sima Guang, so Mr. Lu asked them to stay in his house.

Sima Guang refused to leave, so Zhang Yue had no choice but to see him off.

Sima Guang carefully wrapped the "Mencius' Justice" presented by Zhang Yue. He said to Zhang Yue: "Xianggong Zhang, your theory of good nature is indeed better than the theory of the confusion of good and evil. This is where I have not tried my best to learn." .”

Seeing that Sima Guang was willing to change his mind, Zhang Yue was overjoyed. He thought Sima Guang was more stubborn than Wang Anshi.

"However, I still don't agree with Mencius as a classic. I'll finish reading Mencius on Justice when I go back."

Zhang Yuechang bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Twelve Zhang. I hope you can correct me."

Sima Guang smiled and said: "Du Zhi, you are still like this after so many years. Maybe it is because I am old and it is not easy for you to walk this road!"

Zhang Yue was almost moved to tears when he heard this.

Zhang Yue said: "How dare I talk about hard work in front of Twelve Zhang."

Sima Guang said: "You, your innocent heart is never easy."

After speaking, Sima Guang left, and Zhang Yue saw Fan Zuyu and Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi was still thinking with his head down, while Fan Zuyu stepped forward to bow to him. Zhang Yue said to Fan Zuyu, "Chunfu, don't blame me anymore."

Fan Zuyu said: "In the past, I had little knowledge. Zhang Xianggong, the reform has been going on for nearly ten years. From now on, I am just a family member. I will rely on you from now on."

Zhang Yue said: "I dare not take it seriously!"

"We still have to look forward to the future, but the reform will not change, otherwise we will go back."

Fan Zuyu was silent for a moment after hearing this, but finally did not answer.

After seeing off Sima Guang and Fan Zuyu, Zhang Yue returned to his mansion. On the path in the courtyard, a bright moon hung in front of him.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, how to take the path under his feet?
