"Weng Tonghe's Diary": "On the twenty-fifth day (April 1, 1875), it rained and cleared suddenly, and it was very miserable. At three o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered, and they were already standing at the entrance to read. Kneel down and kowtow with the class, and then go out. After dinner Didn't meet with Xu Lanshi during the visit. Shen Chu went to the cabinet political hall to see the draft of the Haiphong Memorial. Li Lansun thought it was unnecessary, so he changed the draft. In fact, it was just empty words. Please let the Minister of Haifa go. The purchase of firearms was not specified, but the armored ship was not specified. The coal, iron, and salt were all not feasible. However, I did not specify how to borrow foreign money, which seemed unnecessarily negotiable. At that time, it was quite agreeable. Li Lansun agreed, so it was not feasible to borrow foreign money, but he said that the coastal defense should be arranged as soon as possible, and there was no way to prepare the plan. " "Guangxu Yuan. On the 29th of the first month of the year, an edict was sent to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Office to report to Lin Yizhe, which included building a navy, protecting Chinese merchants, developing land and mines, building railways, and installing telegraphs. In the aspect of raising salaries, he advocated promoting commerce in order to He opened a salary source and discussed borrowing foreign money. In the book, he emphasized the importance of industry and commerce, saying that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the pillars of the country. They were like four legs of a chair standing side by side. As soon as his remarks came out, those who heard it were in an uproar. The Empress Dowager seemed to be moved by the many quotes she quoted from Confucius and Sheng Guanzi. She handed it over to a meeting of courtiers. Gongdi, Chundi and Wenxiang pointed out that his words were correct. Shenxiang, Baoxiang and Li Lansun were silent. The Shangshu of Shan Dishan (Shan Maoqian of the Ministry of Personnel) and the Minister of Xu Yuru (Xu Tong) strongly stated that his argument was wrong, and I also wanted to argue with it. However, after careful review of the whole article, it was found to be holy words everywhere, and it seemed difficult to refute The court had been debating for a long time, but could not reach a decision. The Queen Mother ordered the eunuch to fetch a chair, use a saw to cut off the legs of each chair, and put them in the hall. Zhe's opinion. 'Li Di was the first to take the seat, and fell to the ground. His face was bruised and bleeding. Shan Dishan also came to the front seat, staggering in front of the steps. He had a cleft lip and lost a tooth. He fell to the ground and his head was broken. Since there was no one left in the front seat, Lin Yi decided that he would see the imperial edict soon, and he became very angry at night. Chinese and foreign ministers pay attention to current affairs, and many of them learn from Western methods to strengthen themselves. Recently, they have issued several imperial edicts, such as mining, building ships, training new soldiers, establishing telegraphs, and establishing naval schools. The discussion is about implementation. However, the trend is not yet open, and the opinions are not consistent. They may be worried about the country, thinking that the old rules must be adhered to and the new laws must be discarded. I wonder if the current situation is like this and the country's situation is still like this. With untrained soldiers, limited pay, no practical knowledge, no good teachers, strong and weak, and poor and poor at the same time, how can we really control the situation with strong armor and strong soldiers?" No, it is extremely harmful and will lead to conflicts among the families. It will not be helpful to the current affairs if they just follow the practices of the Song and Ming Dynasties. Yong Te clearly declares that from now on, all ministers and officials at home and abroad, including princes and scholars, should work hard and be ambitious, and should base their foundations on the learning of sages and principles, and should also learn from Western learning and apply it to current affairs. Focus on strength to avoid the shortcomings of emptiness and absurdity. Concentrate on it and strive for excellence. Don't just scratch the surface, don't talk about it, and turn the useful into useless in order to achieve economic change. " "The Shipbuilding and Navy School is the first initiative of all provinces. It has been held for many years and has achieved many results, but the number of students is not large. The Minister of Military Affairs and the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs jointly made a quick report, so the editors and inspectors of the Hanlin Academy, the directors of various ministries, the guards of each door, the candidates for the prefecture and county level, the children of senior officials, the Eight Banners' secular officials, and the descendants of various military officials , all those who wish to enter the hall are allowed to study, in the hope that talents will emerge in large numbers and help each other in times of difficulty. They are not allowed to follow the rules perfunctorily or refer to them for personal gain, thereby violating the imperial court's sincere warning. Give this encyclical. ¡± ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù Hunan, Changsha, Sixian Lecture Center. In a bookstore, there was a slender-looking man in his forties. The middle-aged scribe was sitting at his desk, flipping through a thread-bound book. There was already a thick pile of books on his desk, and the desks of each of his students sitting below him were doing the same. There are thick stacks of books. On the screen wall in the study room, there is a huge white cloth with lines of words written in block letters. The students below look up from time to time and look at the words on the white cloth. What he was looking for in the book was written on the white cloth. It was the content of Lin Yizhe's "Invite the Navy to Protect the Sea and Manage the Ocean"! The middle-aged scribe searched for a long time in the book, but still found nothing. He punched the table, causing the books on the table to bounce. This middle-aged scribe is the famous Wang Kaiyun, "How dare you do this to the evildoer of the Lin family! "Wang Kaiyun cursed with hatred. Seeing the teacher's anger, the students below all looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. "It's not surprising that Wang Kaiyun was angry, it was because Lin Yizhe's article was so impeccable., so he summoned students for several days to look for flaws in Lin Yizhe's article, but found nothing. "Renfu, I'm afraid you won't be able to search like this." Li Ciming, another famous scholar in the world, came to Wang Kaiyun and said, "His article closely adheres to the words of the saints and contains the teachings of the saints. It is difficult to refute "The same is true for his article "An Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom"! He failed to expose his conspiracy in time, which caused him to confuse the audience!" Wang Kaiyun said angrily, "At the beginning, he said that foreigners also worshiped the Holy Way. He wanted to treat the foreign barbarians as human beings, but it was a pity that he failed to see through it until now! " "Yes! No one expected this secret move of his," Li Ciming couldn't help but sigh. The only weapon the Qingliu scholars used to oppose Westernization and resist Western learning was that "foreigners are not human beings." Since foreigners are not even human beings, how can we still learn from them? But they did not expect that after Lin Yizhe came back from his mission to the West, he wrote "An Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom" to prove that Western countries also respected the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. In this way, foreigners who understood the Holy Way would become human beings. Naturally, you can learn things from foreigners. When Lin Yizhe's "An Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom" was first published nationwide, Wang Kaiyun read this article and didn't think much about it except that he felt uncomfortable and wanted to find fault but couldn't. But when he saw Lin Yizhe's When I came back to the article "Invite the navy to protect the maritime trade and manage the ocean crossing", I realized it, but it was too late. "No! We can't let him succeed like this! Otherwise, if foreign learning spreads all over China, the holy religion will be lost, and our Qing Dynasty will be destroyed forever!" Wang Kaiyun said, and plunged into the pile of books again. Seeing this, Li Ciming could only walk to the screen wall, carefully read the contents of Lin Yizhe's memorial, and thought hard about how to solve it. And seeing the teacher speaking again, the students below also hurriedly started busy again. A group of people had been busy for a long time, but still couldn't find any solution. Wang Kaiyun was so angry that he vented his anger on the students. "Have you read all the books of saints and sages in vain?" Wang Kaiyun pointed at the students and cursed, "Do you know? If he makes this statement accurate, you will be on par with that despicable businessman from now on! Forever. Don¡¯t stand up!¡± After hearing the teacher¡¯s reprimand, the young students lowered their heads one by one. Some of their faces turned red and looked very angry, while others showed disapproval. Wang Kaiyun was a famous figure in the world. In his early years, he embraced imperial learning. He tried to participate in governance and made great achievements. However, he suffered repeated setbacks and was unable to realize his ambition. So he gave up his ambition to become an official and returned to writing books and teaching disciples. He was sincere and easy-going to his students, diligent in teaching, and often The upright professor talked eloquently and tirelessly all day long, so many people came to seek help from him. However, his arrogance of "before his ambitions are fulfilled, and his free time to sing high praises to fill the country" has not diminished a bit. He usually laughs, curses, ridicules and mocks, and does everything. People often avoid him in fear. And the students all knew his temper, so even though he was so abusive, no one responded. The reason why Wang Kaiyun's character became like this is because his official career was not smooth. He is one of those people who became a celebrity due to setbacks in his official career. Wang Kaiyun won the imperial examination at the age of 26 and entered the ranks of high-ranking scholars. Although he failed to sell after several trials, it was normal. In this day and age, those who took joint scientific examinations were as rare as white crows. His bad luck was that his talent showed up early and reached the central government. He was favored by Sushun, the think tank of Emperor Xianfeng. He was paid into his account and became a senior think tank in the think tank of the Qing Empire. And Emperor Xianfeng was exactly the kind of emperor who was too petty and met with many disasters. His hair was not flat, and the British and French allied forces came again. They attacked twice, but he couldn't get a breath, and he died of cowardice. After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Sushun was careless and was killed by the Western Queen Mother Yehenara Xingzhen together with Emperor Xianfeng's brother, Prince Gong Yixin, and followed the late emperor who had known him by chance. From then on, Wang Kaiyun was labeled as a "party purifier" Brand, cannot be reincarnated. This is the case in China. Following the wrong person and standing in the wrong team are the most fatal mistakes in a political career for literati. Wang Kaiyun stood in the wrong team. If he did not catch up with his life, it was already a majestic favor of the emperor. If he wanted to get ahead, , we have to wait for the Queen Mother to die, but judging from the current situation, the Queen Mother has just celebrated her 40th birthday and is in good health. It would be difficult for her to die. Wang Kaiyun cursed for a while, maybe because he was tired, and sat down. The two older maids who had been standing next to him immediately came forward, rubbed his chest and beat his back. Seeing two elderly maids coming forward to serve him in front of the students, Li Ciming couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, but the students below seemed to take it for granted, which shocked Li Ciming, who had just arrived here. In this era, the moral requirements for scholars are generally very high. However, if a person is regarded as a "celebrity", this situation seems to change. PS: Please collect it! Please recommend!
