Facts have proved that when doing academic research, Li Kui's attitude is serious, mainly because he is not serious. He really can't bring up anything decent.

He has read "The Book of Teachings" and his memory is too vague. The main reason is that this book is too scattered, and it is all dialogue. It is called dialogue, but more like a memoir, a collection of Wang Shouren's disciples pieced together through memories.

There is a very bad thing about such books, wherever they say.

Fortunately, Confucian books are just a little bit of things over and over again.

It is not easy for Li Kui to summarize this matter, but it is only difficult. Extracting Mr. Yangming's thoughts is based on the four verses of the mind: No good or evil is the body of the mind, good and evil is the movement of the mind, knowing good and evil is the conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is the investigation of things. To think about it and expand it, you can always make up a few decent articles, and then he thought guiltily: Even if it is not successful, it is not far away...

But this process is very difficult, at least for Li Kui.

When he returned home, Li Kui immediately instructed Ruan Xiaowu: "I'll thank you for your guests in the door, lord, I'm going to write a book and make a statement!"

Ruan Xiaowu showed a terrified expression in his eyes, but he still posted a big word at the gate, with two big words written on it - Xie Ke!

In the backyard, Liu Qingyan took two pregnant women with the same figure but were not distorted, but were identified by the imperial physician An Daoquan, and gathered together to discuss.

"Is this so suffocating, the lord?"

"It doesn't look like it! When he was in Yan'an Prefecture, he jumped up and down like a big horse monkey all day long. Later, he couldn't hold it in, so he went to Xixia."

"Sister, do you know the reason?"

Liu Qingyan touched her inconspicuous belly, squinted her eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe she is trying to harm people, right?"

"The master is not so bad, right?"

Zhang Zhenniang felt that Liu Qingyan and Nie Cuicui must have had an undeserved misunderstanding of Li Kui, and immediately corrected Li Kui's name.

Liu Qingyan waved her hand and said, "Don't you guess, just go and have a look together?"

When three pregnant silly women saw Li Kui's face was dull and his eyes were dull, hiding in the attic in his backyard, making himself look like a confined madman, he was frightened: "Master, are you crazy? Don't be able to think about it!"

Even Liu Qingyan, who is childhood sweetheart, has never seen Li Kui so embarrassed. Since she met Li Kui, this guy has always been idle.

Li Kui looked up and saw that it was his wife and concubine. He said angrily: "Master, I'm doing research, don't disturb me."

After saying that, his head drooped into the pile of books again. He muttered a word: "Men said: People are good. Xunzi said: People are evil. Good and evil come from the heart. Knowing good and doing evil, knowing filial piety and going against the way, neither good nor filial piety. Doing is what the heart belongs to, and knowing is what the actions do... Good, great good!"

After making up such a sour sentence, Li Kui immediately wrote a letter at his desk.

The three girls were so scared that they didn't dare to get close. They were afraid that Li Kui would be hysterical and even the pregnant woman would not let her go.

Nie Cuicui patted her increasingly majestic chest and said as if she was scared: "This is probably the madness of scholars, right?"

This question is difficult to answer. Nie Cuicui was destroyed when she was a child, but she also had the experience of having rich clothes and food. Unfortunately, she was a general and didn't know the secret of scholars. Zhang Zhenniang, her father was the instructor of the imperial guards, and she probably didn't have the chance to meet scholars. The market where she lived was all martial artists, and Lin Chong was the most gentleman, but unfortunately she was still a martial artist. Even his wife Liu Qingyan, although she had met several scholars, she didn't dare to be sure whether other scholars were like her familiar elder brother-in-law, wearing a Confucian shirt and pretending to be cultural people.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kui stopped going to the yamen. No one in the officialdom was dissatisfied with Li Kui. Even the emperor waited hard, asking his confidant eunuch Hao Sui from time to time: "Can Li Kui's writing be written?"

"I haven't heard of it! The official family, why don't you let the slaves go and ask?"

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Eunuch Hao received the order to leave the palace and came outside Baokang Gate. Ruan Xiaowu said to Hao Sui with a bitter face: "If you say you don't see anyone, you won't see anyone. If my young master said that if you don't succeed, you will be successful."

Hao Sui was frightened and advised: "If it is not like this, why bother? Isn't it better to live? Why do you have to seek death?"

"Is there anything wrong with the hero?"

Ruan Xiaowu recalled: "There is no change except for his worsening temper."

Hao Suiwen was shocked. Li Kui's temper was bad enough before, and now he is even more irritable. Wouldn't he be crazy? He hurried back to the palace to report his life. Not long after, the imperial physician who was good at treating madness in the Imperial Hospital rushed over, but Ruan Xiaowu almost beat it out with a stick and left as if he was rolling and crawling. Ruan Xiaowu was still standing on the steps at the gate, and said in a stern manner: "My young master is not crazy, nor is he sick."

Not only Hao Sui, but also Fan Chong.

Ma Yu.

Su Song.

...

People who are a little close to Li Kui in Beijing either come here in person or send their disciples to come. However, unfortunately, Li Kui is working hard and receiving them all Ruan Xiaowu.

How many days have it been?

He was anxious to urge him to update. Writing a book was much more difficult for Hao Sui than holding his shit. He couldn't imagine when Li Kui could write the book that everyone was looking forward to.

But he was worried too!

Who made Hao Sui, Eunuch Hao, Li Kui’s good buddy?

What if Li Kui wrote too much and disappointed the people who were waiting for it, wouldn’t it be bad?

Speaking of which, Li Kui was just saying crazy. When he returned home, he looked up classics and looked for ideas, there was no sign of mania.

But as more and more people came to ask questions in the next few days, he felt guilty.

He wished he could slap himself twice, and he couldn't write well secretly, so he had to make a big fuss. Now that he didn't succeed, he really wanted to achieve success.

Several times, Ruan Xiaowu sent someone to the door to find out, but Li Kui actually hid in the doorman. Whenever he heard someone praise his talent and hoped to see his works as soon as possible, he always blushed and ashamed. He really had a dilemma of climbing up a tree easily but not falling.

Until this time, his wife Liu Qingyan also realized that Li Kui was boasting about Haikou, but he was afraid of being embarrassed.

I couldn't help but persuade, "Husband, it's not a big deal for you to hide from others like this. You can't learn from Sima Junshi and dig a hole to throw yourself into the ground. You'll stay there for more than ten years, right?"

Li Kui touched his cheek and said strangely: "You can see it too, is it obvious?"

Li Kui is a shameful person. One or two sentences shock people. He has something in his stomach. But the problem is that it is almost impossible for him to discuss and write a masterpiece of the emperor. For at least twenty years, don’t even think about it. This still requires hard study every day.

I finally got together a few decent articles.

Li Kui was determined to find someone with a high level of knowledge.

Forget Su Che, this person was not within his consideration. The main reason was that Su Che not only did not expect him to write a huge book to suppress Er Cheng, but sent his youngest son to scold him. Although the person being scolded was Ruan Xiaowu, Li Kui was in his ear room at that time, and he heard it really, and he didn't leave a word. He hated him so much that he immediately took out his small notebook and wrote it on the year, month and day...

Ma Yu?

This guy lives in Duke Lu's mansion, and it is inconvenient for him to go there. He is full of people and eyes. If the writing is not very good, wouldn't he have to spread it out?

Fan Chong?

OK, it's him.

In the dark alley, a young man took a staggering step and sang foolishly: "We are not weeds, we laughed to the sky and went out...don't we..."

I immediately lay down at the base of the wall and started vomiting.

He didn't notice that there was an open sack behind him, and he was approaching one step. He felt that his head was suddenly blocked by something, which made him nervous.

But his mouth was blocked by rags and he couldn't even shout.

The car drove around and heard the sound of crossing the bridge and the alley of Tizi. Just as he was thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped and felt like he was being carried into a mansion.

He finally heard someone talking, and he was so scared that he almost urinated.

When fresh air came from the mouth of the sack and the confinement in his mouth was completely untied, Fan Chong screamed: "Good man, please spare me!"

Li Kui looked at Ruan Xiaowu strangely, and he thought to himself that he would not let people know about it. He invited Fan Chong and Mr. Fan. Unexpectedly, this was the way to invite him.

Unfortunately, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

Li Kui also accepted it. He immediately pressed his throat and said, "Brother Fan, it's me, Li Kui."

"Renjie, what are you doing?"

Fan Chong was about to speak, but immediately screamed: "Send me to the toilet quickly. I'm going out and I can't hold it in anymore!"

The literati of the Song Dynasty were all good at drinking. If they were inconvenient to go to the toilet, they would easily hold it in. Fan Chong was like this. It was already very good that he could not pee in the car.

After finally relaxing his body, Fan Chong complained: "Renjie, where are you doing this?"

Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly bowed and claimed the crime: "Master Fan, it's a villain who makes a fuss. Please give up the crime."

Fan Chong then looked up and saw clearly. It was Ruan Xiaowu and said angrily: "You guy is so stupid. How can you ask someone like this? But you are a little better than your brother, your brother is even more stunned. I have to thank you for not giving me a stick in the back of my head."

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Li Kui waved his hand and asked Ruan Xiaowu to leave. He took out several memorial books with a nervous expression, and said shyly to Fan Chong: "I would like to ask Brother Fan for advice!"

"I dare not take it as a gift..." Fan Chong was suddenly stunned, and then asked Li Kui seriously: "Renjie, have you finished writing?"

"Clean work, a stupid work!" Li Kui smiled awkwardly. Since he met Li Kui, Fan Chong had never seen Li Kui so guilty.

He tidied up his clothes in a serious manner, and asked someone to take ice water and apply it to his face to calm himself down. Then he started reading.

It can be said that these articles are more painful than Li Kui's participation in the imperial examination. This is the most troublesome time he has been studying in the past few years. If he is an ordinary opponent, he is not a false one. As long as he has enough discussions and the entries are novel, it is enough to make people amazed. But the opponent is Er Cheng, which is not an ordinary person. Li Kui has also studied all Er Cheng's articles during this period. The more he reads, the less he feels; the deeper he is, the less he is. This is a genius who has become famous in history and has won countless well-educated people in the world.

Can he ever fight?

Suddenly, Fan Chong burst into laughter, scaring Li Kui's flesh on his face trembled. Then he shouted, "Second, ah! It's amazing. Awesome, I did not read you wrong. According to what you said, knowing that it is the original heart; doing it is the seal of the heart. This method can help you understand everything in the world."

Li Kui carefully identified Fan Chongren's appearance and said alertly: "Brother Fan is not the drunken words?"

"no!"

"You just drank."

Although Li Kui kept silent and said that he had tied up Fan Chong, Fan Chong did not leave the Li family for three days.

When Ma Yu was invited, he got the same explanation. After that, he secretly took advantage of the darkness to go to Mr. Su Song's house.

After returning, Li Kui was very confident and ordered Ruan Xiaowu: "Let the best bookstore in the capital open 500 printings. No, our family is not short of money, just print 50,000 copies. I want the people who know literacy in the capital to have a book written by Li Daren!"

Even if his confidence recovers, Li Kui gave up the debate with the disciples of Luoxue. He may encounter an opponent he can't beat and will be in trouble. If he meets Er Cheng shamelessly and ends up in person, he will probably lose miserably. Nothing else, the ink in his stomach is not as good as Cheng Yi's belly. With this alone, Li Kui may be beaten by Cheng Yi until he has no power to fight back.
