Zeng Guoquan's heart was like a storm, he never expected that the eldest brother would help Xiao Letian without conditions, and there was such a secret agreement here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Xiao Lotian represents the irresistible tide of the times and the most violent reform force, then Zeng Guofan represents traditional Chinese Confucianism...... It's not rotten Confucianism, but the interests of real Confucians like Wang Yangming.

Zeng Guofan is not against change, and he also knows that it is a foolish thing for the corrupt Confucians to block the tide of the times, but he also understands how terrifying the emotions of the people are in the land of China.

On the surface, the gentle and respectful people may become a murderous mob in the next second, and in the ten years of the Heavenly Campaign, he has seen too many people with distorted thoughts, walking on the evil path and unable to turn back.

Those who shouted the slogan of God worship and slaughtered other people were once good farmers and industrious craftsmen, but these people were really unable to resist the tide of the times, and their thoughts were easily swayed by others.

And there is always a terrible subconscious in Chinese culture, that is, overkill!

Yes, overcorrection is simply a cancer in the body of Chinese civilization, when a group of people go to the right road, the rulers do not try to get them to the right path, but do everything possible to break these people to the left, ruthlessly, and it doesn't matter if the blood is dripping.

Zeng Guofan knew very well that once Xiao Letian started an academic dispute on the land of China, with the military and financial resources in his hands, the doctrine he supported would definitely become the mainstream that no one could shake.

Maybe Xiao Letian is calm and wise, but after all, he is only one person, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to be all-encompassing, so will the people under him, or simply the fortunate people of the people, bully Confucianism, Taoism and even Buddhism under the banner of reform.

The three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the cornerstones of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and without these three schools, it would not be called Chinese civilization!

"I'm really afraid that one day, there will be countless rioters shouting the slogan of abolishing Confucius, abolishing Lao Tzu, and abolishing the Buddha, to destroy everything...... It's because I'm scared that I have such an agreement!"

Your intelligence network is too lonely and extreme, and you pay little attention to people's livelihood, education, and the economy...... Do you know that it is precisely because of my secret agreement that Xiao Letian has resumed the curriculum of the Four Books and the Five Classics and the study of traditional Confucian classics in all the classes of the Chinese people!"

"Xiao Lotian wants to govern the army and formulate a national strategy, and he doesn't have that much energy to care about these things, but I know, and I have recommended a group of very good people, who are now in the Ryukyus......"

"Do you remember Hanlin Luo Hao, as well as Wen Xiu from the Military Aircraft Department...... Why did they leave the city of Beijing? Hehe, of course you don't bother to care about these little characters, but let me tell you...... The two of them and more than 20 great Confucians are secretly carrying out a work of reorganizing Confucianism in the Chinese University!"

"Are you shocked? Don't say it's you, when Xiao Letian mentioned this plan to me, I was also shocked! He consciously stripped out the knowledge of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism that guide people to goodness and strengthen the hearts of the people, and those ideas that contradict the current era should be taken out one by one and then criticized!"

"It's a long job, but it's very important, it's very important! Xiao Lotian once told me a story, and after I listened to it, I was relieved of him, this Xiao Lotian is definitely not our great enemy of Confucianism, on the contrary, he is our savior!"

Jiu Shuai looked at his brother in a daze, he was speechless, and at this time, Zeng Guofan suddenly coughed violently, even if the old farmer used his internal force to open the meridians, he couldn't control it.

"Dashuai, take a break, can I tell you that story?" I was also there at the time......

The old peasant smiled honestly, "Actually, it's not a story, that's an example! Prime Minister Xiao Cheng once said that the sea ban policy, the prime minister said, the sea ban is a policy that has existed since the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not have a sea ban, the Tang Dynasty did not have a sea ban, and the earlier Qin and Han dynasties had never heard of it......

"Why is it that a policy that only existed in the Ming Dynasty was canonized as a classic by the Confucian scholars in the imperial court, and no one can change it, and whoever changes it will not listen to the words of the sage!

"Is it Confucianism that wants to ban the sea, or are the officials who bear the name of Confucianism?"

"Prime Minister Xiao has a hobby, that is, to collect antiquities and cultural toys everywhere, especially some foreign treasures, he has entrusted many Western merchants and chieftains in the desert of the Middle East to collect ancient treasures for him everywhere, and there seems to be an expedition supported by the Prime Minister on the Ottoman Turkish side!"

"The prime minister told us a very strange incident, that is, in the short period of time when the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty was the strictest, it stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty could not go to sea, so the precious porcelain of the Ming Dynasty during that period should rarely appear abroad!"

"But a strange thing happened, the more the sea ban was the strictest, the more precious porcelain from that period was unearthed overseas, especially among Japanese folk porcelain collectors, this phenomenon is particularly obvious!"

At the same time that the central government is vigorously implementing the ban on the sea, there is a huge force that is desperately smuggling overseas in exchange for huge profits!

"Those Confucian scholars who shouted righteous words in the court, and those ministers who shouted that the family law of their ancestors could not be changed, did their families participate in this great smuggling operation all over the southeast coast?

"Yes! There must be, and there must be! The person who scolds the most fierce person is actually a **!"

"Therefore, Xiao Letian is not against Confucius, nor is he against Confucianism, but he must clean up those who are swaggering and deceiving under the banner of sages, and finally achieve the righteousness of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Confucianism, and the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Confucianism cannot hinder China from advancing on the road of natural science!"

"Kong Sheng's wronged! He has memorized all the black cauldrons that shouldn't have been carried, and the ** who shouted his slogans did all the indiscriminate things, and finally I had to say that this was all taught by the saints! Damn, when did the saint say that the sea was forbidden? When did the saint say that women must be bound for their little feet?"

"This black pot is back! The saint who has been pressed can't turn over in the ground!"

The old farmer tried his best to learn Xiao Letian's tone to speak, in fact, he didn't need to learn at all, Jiu Shuai had seen Xiao Letian many times, and he was very familiar with the evil smile on his face, as well as the strange mocking tone.

Jiu Shuai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The person who scolds ** is actually a **......! Big brother, you're hiding from me so hard!"

Zeng Guofan also relieved his breath at this time: "Aren't I also afraid that Xiao Letian's Jiangnan layout will fail? If he didn't break through this money crisis, then this secret agreement would be waste paper! It is precisely because he broke through that I have to tell you!"

"Our Zeng family must take good care of this secret contract, this is our family's umbrella, and it is also a chance for us to give Confucianism a chance to be reborn! With him, my life is not long, you take good care of him for me, and keep a good watch on Xiao Letian! He dares to break the ......"

"Ahem, ahem...... If he dares to break the contract, you will expose it to me and make him ruined...... cough cough cough ......"
