Chapter 100 Human nature cannot be changed

Mr. Yangming was lucky. When he was hiding in Longchang to ponder enlightenment, the guerrilla general Qiu Cheng got rid of Zhu Zhi, the king of Anhua, and the great eunuch Zhang Yong got rid of the same great eunuch Liu Jin.That's all for Zhu Zhi, but Liu Jin's removal means the restoration of the courtiers, first of all, the abolition of the audit inspection and reward and punishment assessment laws formulated by Liu Jin, and then the rehabilitation of those unlucky people who were exiled by Liu Jin. Mr. Yangming was spanked by Liu Jin, so his rebellion must be flattened. But Mr. Yangming's rebellion was not so relieved, he was just promoted to the magistrate of Luruan County.Originally, he was a Beijing official, and as a member of the imperial court, he sat at the same table with the governor, chief envoy and other high-ranking officials to hear cases. Does the law work? ... Now he has become a seventh-rank sesame official. When the governor sees him, he will wave his hand: Go, Xiao Wang, sweep the floor... Anyway, it is very bad.

But the official position is humble, and the court is no wonder. It was Qiu Cheng who killed King Anhua, and it was Zhang Yong, the great eunuch, and Yang Yiqing, the famous minister who killed Liu Jin.It is already very humane for you, Wang Shouren, to hitch a ride, enjoy the benefits, and implement policies to rehabilitate you. You can't give you the credit for others, can you? So Mr. Yangming is valiant and high-spirited, and he set off with a large team to take office. Who are the brigades following Mr. Yangming? They are all his disciples. Mencius said: Seeing an ignorant baby crawling towards the brazier, anyone will be shocked and step forward to stop it.In the same way, when seeing a blind man striding towards the ravine, anyone will shout: Danger, stop!It is still the same reason, enlightened people are like people with discerning eyes, who will eagerly step forward to dissuade all living beings who do not know the rules and rush to the obscure corners of human nature without hesitation.

Therefore, Mr. Yangming, who knows the rules, should dissuade those who don't know the rules from falling into the trap. Therefore, Mr. Yangming loves to give lectures. Lectures are about reasoning, teaching rules, and telling people what to do so that they can avoid dangers and dangers in the world. In ancient and modern China and abroad, all those who have realized the ultimate wisdom, such as Confucius, Mencius, Socrates, Plato, Sakyamuni, and Jesus, all have a habit of preaching and lecturing.It's not that they like to nag, but that they can't watch others keep bumping their heads against the rules like blind people, and they really can't stand it.

If you can't stand it, you will be reminded.And what needs to be reminded is not one or two people, but all the people in this world.So this kind of reminder can only be done by opening classes and running schools. Mr. Yangming's lecture habit has reached an outrageous level.Regardless of time, occasion and place, he talks to everyone, and he talks to everyone.Not only he talks about it himself, but also his students talk about it everywhere-poor these young students, they didn't even touch the edge of the rules, and they really don't know where to start.Even if you can't figure out the rules, Mr. Yangming even assigned hard tasks to his disciples.One of his disciples went to work as an official in another place. He was busy with work when he first arrived, so he wrote a letter to Mr. Yangming, begging for a delay in starting the class and running the school, but Mr. Yangming severely corrected him.

Watching the undisciplined masses jump into the fire pit, Mr. Yangming is worried for you. I'm really in a hurry for you! After all this effort, does it work? Let's see what it says in "Jing Luan Lu": There was a fire in the city, Mr. Gong bowed down and worshiped, and the sky turned against the wind.It is to order the city to set up fire alleys, so that the fire will never stop. Looking at this record, we will know that whether it works or not, Mr. Yangming's lectures did not even have the slightest feeling from his disciples.Look at this blatant nonsense: There was a fire in the city, Mr. Yangming bowed down, and the sky turned against the wind... Isn't this plain nonsense?

The reason why the students talk nonsense is that they worship Mr. Yangming, but it is the real state of mind to put some gold on their faces by saying that Mr. Yangming is a god.The reason why you have to rely on nonsense to post money is because you don't want to work hard to figure it out.Opportunity, fake and shoddy, this is also part of human nature.Mr. Yangming can understand human nature, but he cannot change human nature. In other words, Mr. Yangming can enlighten himself, but he can't make others enlighten.This is like students with good academic performance, no matter how hard they work, they can only improve their grades, but they cannot improve the grades of poor students who refuse to study.

What should I do if others refuse to enlighten to the Tao? Can't do it! Mr. Yangming had no choice but to work harder for those who can.
