As night fell, Huang Zongxi finally woke up from his confusion and could take a look at his current environment.
He had been separated from the scholars and was alone in a room. When he opened the door, he saw an armed militia staring at him. Huang Zongxi was about to stare back without fear, but immediately he realized his situation.
He wanted to imitate Chen Dong, the imperial student leader of the former Song Dynasty, and put pressure on Yu Guozhen by carrying a statue of Confucius. Instead, he fell into Yu Guozhen's trap. Not only did he fail to restore the status and reputation of Confucian Qingliu in the court, but he also let Yu Guozhen found an excuse to deal with these people!
It was he who harmed everyone!
No, it¡¯s not him. He is a descendant of Donglin. He is a pure and authentic man. How can he harm others? It must be because Yu Guozhen is too cunning. It must be a problem with the system of the Chinese Dynasty. That¡¯s why the people are indifferent when he asks for orders for the people!
Huang Zongxi forgot where he learned the term "system problem". It seems that he came from Nandu Weekend. Hou Fangyu used this term to attack China, but now he is colluding with the system. In Huang Zongxi's view, the enemy is okay Forgive, traitors cannot be forgiven!
"Is Huang Taichong here?" At this time, he heard someone speaking outside.
"I'm here!" Huang Zongxi didn't expect that someone would come to visit, so he responded loudly. Then, he saw seven or eight people walking in.
The leader is Fang Yizhi.
"Secret!" Huang Zongxi felt warm in his heart when he saw that it was Fang Yizhi who came to visit him.
It was different from Hou Fangyu¡¯s behavior, although Fang Yizhi and him parted ways. But the two still cherish each other and stick to their own right path.
"Let me see you, Taichong, you are so confused!" Fang Yizhi was originally going to come with Chen Zilong, but Chen Zilong has been busy with something recently, and even missed the enthronement ceremony and did not rush to Jinling. Come. Therefore, Fang Yizhi could only come alone.
Huang Zongxi saw Fang Yizhi, after a brief excitement. He began to complain: "Mi Zhi, what are you doing here? You are the seed of civilization in the world. Now you are the only one who still has this lineage. You shouldn't come to see me. If the new emperor is angry with you for this, how can there be any real Confucian scholars?" ?¡±
"How could Yu Jimin get angry over such a trivial matter?" Fang Yizhi shook his head.
"Isn't it that he has some bad relations with you? Otherwise, your name would not be included in the list of Ministers and Ministers of various ministries announced this time?" Huang Zongxi has always had a question in his mind. When he thought about it, Fang Yizhi had already expressed his intention to meet Yu Guozhen. Cooperation redefines Confucianism and rectifies its origins. If all the distortions of Confucian classics since Dong Zhongshu are restored to their true meaning, then Fang Yizhi will have a great effect on the new dynasty. Even if Yu Guozhen does not give him a second assistant, he should also give him the position of chief minister, but he did not expect it. In the end, Fang Yizhi was not listed.
Even the two Taoist priests Gui Quanzi and Fu Quanzi got positions, but Fang Yizhi, Yu Guozhen's uncle, came up empty-handed.
"Jimin told me before that the Chinese official selection system will be very different from the past. Those without grassroots experience will not be allowed to enter the central government as intermediate-level officials or above. For example, in the old dynasty, Jinshi were sent out to directly serve as county magistrates and magistrates. Such things would not happen in the Chinese dynasty. Therefore, if I want to be an official, I must first enter the grassroots level and have about three years of grassroots experience before I can be promoted." Fang Yizhi explained: "And I am more willing to do so. Being a scholar or an official is not what I want."
When he said this, Fang Yizhi's eyes shone with a strange light: "Besides, being an official for one term only benefits one party. It is good to have ten or twenty years of legacy. What I am doing now will be the legacy of a hundred generations." It¡¯s much better to work than to be an official!¡±
Huang Zongxi was speechless.
" If we can complete a systematic theory like Dong Zhongshu proposed a unified theory, it will be the last two of the three life values ????of scholars making meritorious service, establishing virtue, and establishing reputation. However, Huang Zongxi still feels that meritorious service is the right way out.
But he knew that, at least in China, he might not have a chance.
"I'll go out with Mr. Huang, how about you send someone to keep an eye on him?" Fang Yizhi said to the soldiers when he saw Huang Zongxi's lost look.
"Reporting to Mr. Fang, Mr. Huang has not yet been arrested. Our treatment for him is residential surveillance."
"Well."
When Huang Zongxi heard that the measures taken against him were only residential surveillance, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He was the leader of the Confucian scholar carrying a statue of Confucius, so it would be considered lenient for Yu Guozhen not to be imprisoned. Residential surveillance that is to say, he They also have certain personal freedoms.
Following Fang Yizhi, the two of them walked out of the small courtyard. This small courtyard is right next to the dock square, so as soon as you come out, you can see the crowds in the square that have not dispersed. Provocative everywhereThe lanterns and horse lanterns illuminate the square brightly, and the vendors selling goods and pedestrians passing by make the place as lively as daytime.
"Jimin asked me to tell you to get ready to go to Europe. He said that some foreign monks from Europe have come to look for him in the past few days. These foreign monks are all proficient in Chinese. You can learn some from them. The language and customs of Europe can be used to their full potential."
Huang Zongxi's face turned pale, and Yu Guozhen asked Fang Yizhi to take the message, stating that he would not see him again, and the content was very clear. It was inevitable that he would be sent to Europa.
"Taichong, so I said you are confused"
"If there is injustice, I will complain. I just don't want to be a cynic."
"Taichong, I'm not here to argue with you. Just listen to the words of Yu Jimin I brought." Fang Yizhi's demeanor was no longer the same as when he was young. He smiled and patted Huang Zongxi's shoulder: "Yu Jimin It has always been said that Chinese civilization lies in the eight characters of constant self-improvement and virtuous conduct. Among them, virtuous conduct means the eclecticism of a hundred schools of thought. Therefore, you went to Europe this time. He hopes that you can study the writings of the philosophers and wise men of the European countries. , translate it into Chinese, and then publish it in China. We have shortcomings and strong points, and we must not underestimate Europa just because we are better than them at this time"
"Wait a minute, Yu Jimin what does this mean? Didn't he exile me to Europa?"
Fang Yizhi said with a smile: "Yu Jimin said that exile means exile. That's because you have repeatedly incited Confucian scholars to cause trouble, and it's also because of the assassination of Shi Daolin!"
Huang Zongxi was horrified: "Hehehe knows?"
"How come you don't know?" Fang Yizhi's eyes looked a little sad: "Taichong, you are crazy. The Hou family and his son are doing random things, and you are following them. You see, the Hou family and his son are smart people. They know how to be patient and show their kindness to Yu Jimin. To be frank, it's you Jimin just doesn't like Donglin being mixed with good and bad people. You are hostile to him, but with people like the Hou family and his son around, is Donglin still the Donglin he was when your father was around?"
Huang Zongxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just as he was about to retort, Fang Yizhi patted his head: "Why am I saying this? You are stubborn on this matter and cannot be persuaded. Yu Jimin said, you, Huang Taichong, have done something wrong and you must be punished. Exile is inevitable, but after all, you are a rare figure among my Chinese scholars, and you will definitely not make the same mistakes as your predecessors. You will put China's long-term interests first and introduce more sages to China."
"Introducing more sages to China?" Huang Zongxi murmured.
"In addition, you are not the only one who Yu Jimin exiled to Europa. The first batch will probably be more than a thousand people, and you will need to lead them. Yu Jimin said. These scholars are resentful, and it is inevitable that some of them will seek refuge with the Europa people, such as Ning Wan I and Fan Wencheng usually lead wolves into the house, how to control them is all up to you."
Hearing these words, Huang Zongxi could not help but shudder. Because he heard boundless murderous intent from it!
He could roughly understand what Yu Guozhen was thinking. If some scholars really defected to the Europeans, and the Europeans thought they understood the reality of China, and came all the way to seek trouble from China, Yu Guozhen would have saved the energy of the expedition!
"And these scholars are just guys who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and can do eight-part essays. When they go to Europe, Yu Guozhen will bring Chinese technology with him.
This layout was planned for Yu Jimin to play chess ten years later. Isn¡¯t it too far-reaching?
At this moment, Huang Zongxi heard a chirping sound coming from the front. Immediately afterwards, several Chinese people came over with two Europeans. Among them, Bu Mige and Huang Zongxi had a relationship with each other. The other one was wearing a sword. Don't know him.
"Mr. Huang, I heard that you will go to Europe with Mr. d'Artagnan. We came here specially to teach you ordinary French and Latin under the order of the Chinese Emperor."
Huang Zongxi was about to respond when suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound, and then, a spark exploded in mid-air, illuminating the sky as bright as day.
"It's begun!" Although Huang Zongxi didn't know it, Fang Yizhi understood it, and he looked up into the sky.
"Fireworks, trees and silver flowers, this is the fireworks show for Yu Guozhen to celebrate his accession to the throne.
"Oh God, it's so spectacular. This Emperor is so extravagant!" D'Artagnan looked at the sky with a look of shock.
"He has this wealth for luxury. All the monarchs in Europe combined cannot be as wealthy as a city under his rule." Bu Mig sighed: "If only he could convert to my lord, that would be great!"
¡°Extremely extravagant and lustful!¡± Huang Zongxi next to him also murmured.
"Wrong, wrong, this fireworks show does not require the treasury to spend a penny." Fang Yizhi said.
¡°???The money used to support the people's internal treasury does not belong to the national treasury? "
"There is no need for money from the internal treasury. This time the fireworks are sponsored by the two firecrackers and fireworks factories in Xinxiang." Fang Yizhi laughed: "Taichong, you really need to go around to broaden your knowledge. They are shooting Money-making ideas.¡±
Huang Zongxi was stunned at first, but then he realized that this was an advertisement!
With this advertisement, everyone will choose to use the products of those two firecrackers and fireworks factories for weddings and funerals in the future, and this will be a huge profit.
"It smells tootoo much money." Huang Zongxi still felt a little disapproving, and his eyes lit up at the same time. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen a huge weakness in the era created by Yu Guozhen.
The smell of money is everywhere, and money penetrates into all levels of the country. In the end, I am afraid that money will become the master of everything - if this is true, what this era needs most is Confucian scholars like them!
A Confucian scholar who chooses the good, stubbornly sticks to the right path and protects the bottom line of morality!
When they were facing the fireworks, Yu Guozhen was at the top of the Grand Conference Palace, holding his hands behind his back and looking at the fireworks. The fireworks were far from the fireworks in his memory from another time and space, but he still stared at them intently. After a while, he turned back and looked at his son Yu Xiang.
"you sure?"
"Yes, if the son doesn't have the guts to go to the front line, how can he protect the country that his father came from in blood?" Yu Xiang was full of confidence in this.
"Well, get ready to go and prepare for the battle with the Rakshasa people, and by the way, clean up all the Jurchens who have not yet accepted the king's status." Yu Guozhen said like iron.
"Jimin!" Fang Ziyi's body next to him shook violently and stared at Yu Guozhen.
