Chapter 117 Questions and Answers for Ultimate Wisdom

Buddhists say: phases are born from the heart.The prisoner's appearance is so apt, could it be that he is a kind person? But in this world, where can there be a good person who is a bandit? There is a certain difference between the phases mentioned by Buddhism and the phases we see every day.Although both are appearances, the eminent monk can see impetuousness from your calmness, and greed and evil from your handsomeness.If people's appearance is directly related to people's heart, then the world will be easy to deal with. As long as the ugly ones are put in jail, and the beautiful ones are all promoted to leadership positions, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Things are not that simple. A person's appearance is more friendly, but the contour muscles of his face are more cooperative, and it has nothing to do with his character. But a person's appearance will affect other people's views on him, and directly affect the person's life. Mr. Yangming knows all these truths.So Mr. Yangming asked in a cold voice: You are in the den of thieves, and your status is probably not too low, right?The prisoner shook his head again and again: No, no, I'm just a kid... Mr. Yangming was furious: What a lifeless thing, at this point you have to hide it from the world. Could it be that your parents gave birth to you, so you are so worthless?Do you have to die for a group of thieves, and even implicate your family after you die?Push it out, show off to the public!

At this moment the prisoner panicked and waved his hands to beg for mercy: My lord, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will tell you everything, the villain’s name is Zhong Jing, and he just fled to Tonggang with Xie Zhishan and others, just because the villain’s appearance is very friendly , it's easier to win people's favor and get away with it, so Xie Zhishan came here to inquire about information... Sure enough, this Zhong Jing was friendly because of his looks, so the thief leader Xie Zhishan looked up to him and only chose him to inquire about information. It can be seen that Xie Zhishan is also a thief who knows how to use people.

This time Zhong Jing's origin was seen through by Mr. Yangming at a glance. Zhong Jing had no more spells to chant, and finally surrendered wholeheartedly. He was willing to turn his back and help Mr. Yangming cut off Xie Zhishan.So Mr. Yangming ordered him to give him wine and meat, and asked him to draw a clear map of the topography and cottage layout in the Tonggang area. After receiving the detailed topographical map drawn by Zhong Jing, Mr. Yangming said with a smile: Behind every unbreakable fortress, there is a secret road leading directly to it. Just like in everyone's heart, there is a weakest sensitive point.Just find it and you win!

Order the three armies to set off immediately to take the bandit's lair in Tonggang! It is still the same old tactics, with odd and positive divisions.Composed of a very small number of elite troops, the surprise soldiers acted secretly, carrying guns, guns and battle flags in advance, sneaked into the highest place of the thief's nest and ambush.Just wait until the army arrives, and then fire the cannon and raise the flag.Zhengbing is a rampage, kicking and hitting, attacking directly. There will be no suspense in this kind of battle. Amidst the thunderous shouts of killing, there is a sudden cannon fire in the thief's nest, followed by thick smoke and fire, and the flags of officers and soldiers flutter in the wind.Then all the officers and soldiers shouted in unison: The thief's nest is broken, kill the thief, kill!

Seeing the situation, Xie Zhishan, the leader of the thieves, could only groan and catch him without a fight. When I met Mr. Yangming, there was really no mantra to recite. After the thief leader Xie Zhishan was captured, Mr. Yangming had a cordial conversation with him. This passage should be quoted in any book on Mr. Yangming.So we also have to quote: According to the new quasi-example, Mr. is ordered to be the head of the Xiaomen at Yuanmen.Before the execution, the master asked: "You are a small man, how did you gather so many people?" Zhishan said: This matter is not easy.When a certain man sees a good man in the world on weekdays, he will never let him go easily. He will hook up with him in many ways to get acquainted with him, or let him drink, or he will be exhausted.Waiting for his gratitude, and then telling the truth, I am all happy to do so.More than 50 people with the strength of a thousand tendons were all killed today.It is the great blessing of the son of tomorrow to tie your hands without restraint.And what's so special?

He was punished for resting his eyes. The gentleman said this to his disciples the other day: I, as a Confucian, seek the benefit of my friends all my life, and I should do the same. Later generations commented on this saying: Not only should scholars seek friends like this, but even ministers of the Ministry of Officials should seek talents for the world, this should also be the case. There are four lines in the poem: Comrades seek the same like-mindedness, how can we allow to lose a hero face to face. Who in Bingquan is a pity and talent is not as good as the thief man back then. This record is not only poorly written, but also its discussion is far from the original meaning of Mr. Yangming's Tao, which makes us farther and farther away from the ultimate wisdom.

So, what is the meaning behind this question?
