Chapter 260: The Founder

Li Shimin looked at the resignation submitted by Li Lizhi to him, and his heart felt like ten thousand grass mud passing by, and he almost didn't know how to describe his current mood.

Li Lichi actually took the initiative to submit his resignation and was unwilling to be a bachelor's degree in the Qin Palace, but wanted to experience life.

Understand the working life in Chang'an, and then personally understand the life you really want.

As for the current glory and wealth, Li Lizhi didn't want it anymore, but instead went to practice truly and stopped his own practice.

Li Lichi actually gave up Li Shimin's salary and preferential treatment for fifth-rank officials, and wanted to truly understand the lives of the people and the ways of the saints.

This made Li Shimin laugh and cry. Li Lizheng didn't do a good job in studying and actually went to do such things?

"What was the stimulation of this guy?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Your Highness, it seems that Li Xueshu and the prince are talking about here, and then Li Xueshu seemed to be speechless by the prince's argument, and finally realized it."

Li Lizhi said.

"Is it the prince who made Li Liji like this?"

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Li Shimin really doesn't understand. Li Lizhi is a Confucian master after all. How could he be so embarrassed in his major? His Taoist heart that has been persisted for many years has been so damaged?

Even if Li Lichi is a great Confucian scholar, he is still in his fifties. He is so cunning, well, he has rich experience.

But why is such a experienced person actually confused by a young man and even fooled him so much?

Of course, Li Lichi's resignation was not a big loss for Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin called the Eighteen Bachelor here, in fact, this Eighteen Bachelor did not really help Li Shimin to seize the throne.

Li Shimin relies most on Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and others are more of them making up for the numbers.

Among these 18 bachelors, there are many people engaged in academic seminars and art. There are actually not many who can really assist Li Shimin in military and political aspects.

The reason why Li Shimin gave preferential treatment to those who studied academic research is actually a kind of "unified front" idea.

By preferential treatment of these people with high academic achievements, they are then used to absorb talents.

Li Lizhi represented the Shandong gentry, Fang Xuanling also represented the Shandong gentry, and Du Ruhui represented the Guanlong Group in a sense.

It can be said that the eighteen bachelors have different powers and are integrated into it.

Among the Eighteen Bachelors, there is actually a small government and a small society.

Li Liji's separation was not a big loss for Li Shimin.

Because Li Liji's achievements are mainly academic, not political and military.

Li Shimin conquered the world mainly by politics and military, not academic.

This Li Lizhi is more of a political vase under Li Shimin. It is not that he really lets him control his rights, but mainly meaningful.

If he hadn't taken a fancy to Li Lizhi's descendants of the Li family and had great academic achievements, Li Shimin would not have chosen to let him become a bachelor's degree.

But now Li Lichi has been fooled by Li Yuanba, so Li Shimin is quite depressed.

"Go and go and have a look!"

Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin immediately came to the suburbs and saw that Li Lichi actually stopped farming on his own land.

In fact, most of these lands were given to Li Lizhi by Li Shimin, and Li Lizhi actually farmed here.

How can he stand a man in his fifties and has never worked in farming before?

"Mr. Li, you are..." Li Shimin asked.

Li Lizhi immediately replied: "King Qin, I am now completing what I needed back then and discussing real knowledge!"

"Mr. Li, if you want to discuss knowledge, you can go to the Qin Palace to discuss it! Isn't that great about discussing food and clothing without worries?"

Li Shimin asked.

But Li Lichi said, "No, King Qin, I understand.

While enjoying your offerings from King Qin, you cannot discuss any knowledge and cannot truly discuss knowledge when you enjoy the offerings of anyone.

And I only need to understand it myself to achieve results.

I understand why Confucius wandered all his life and finally became a saint.

Perhaps it was because of his frustration in his career that he had been wandering for life that he achieved his future achievements.

If I enjoy the offerings of the King of Qin with peace of mind and anyone's offerings, it is just using my reputation to exchange for wealth.

And this is not what I want.

It was the prince who woke me up and let me know that only by not only achieving my conscience and as long as I do not forget my original intention, I can know what I really want."

"The so-called wealth is not what I really want.

The prince said it well. Instead of hoping to learn from books, it is better to truly understand your original intention, not forget your original intention, and then constantly point your own original intention and your conscience as your direction. As long as your conscience is not blinded, will you be able to become a saint in the end?

As long as you can act according to your own conscience and not be confused by the illusory glory and wealth outside, then in the end everything can become a saint."

"The prince thought that all people in this world could become saints.

But now I understand that learning the classics of saints is not enough to learn those words.

To truly learn, you must truly understand and truly unite knowledge and action, and then you can learn the true knowledge of the saints.

As long as you endure the test from time to time, you can know where your true intentions and conscience are.

Then, by doing things through one's own heart and conscience, one will always become a saint."

"And I named the prince's knowledge Xinxue.

In the future, I will only study the prince’s mind.”

Li Shimin almost vomited blood. Li Yuanba actually brought Li Liji into the ditch. Not only did he give up his glory and wealth, but he also gave up his confidence for many years and turned to discuss "heart learning".

Li Yuanba obviously underestimated the role of his "mind learning". He should know that he was actually just taking the Yangming Mind learning of Wang Shouren in the Ming Dynasty in the later Ming Dynasty and directly crafting some theoretical foundations that he didn't understand thoroughly, and then used these Mind learning knowledge that were not very complete and that he could not understand thoroughly to fool Li Lizhi.

As a result, Li Lizhi had heard of these things and became a believer in Wang Shouren's mind.

Of course, there will be no Lu Wang’s heart learning in this time and space, as long as Li Yuanba’s “heart learning” is gone.
