"There can never be no water in the world, and there can never be no boats in the world. Zhuang Yan pondered for a while and sighed, "Our lord is really good at debate, and it is really a model of using a famous monarch through the ages to persuade a royalist." And what happened later? Was our Tang Shenggong convinced?"

"Of course not!" Wang Lijian said with a smile, "If Tang Shenggong is so easily convinced, then it is not Tang Shenggong." Even the royalists were divided into different royalists, and the most representative of them, those headed by Shengyun, believed that the Chinese people were "not enlightened" and that China was not "bad government", but "bad people". In China, 'it is better to have a constitutional monarchy than a republic, and it is better to have an enlightened autocracy than a constitutional monarchy'. ”

Zhuang Yan knew the remarks of this faction, in the previous life, Kang Youwei was a royalist in the later period, which is also the point of view they put forward. Kang Youwei believes that the government is right, but it is only Cixi and others who are wrong, and the Chinese people are not yet intelligent, and they must not be republican, and democracy cannot be talked about, because the people are stupid, and they cannot manage themselves well.

Therefore, it is better to be enlightened and autocratic, which means that it is still a feudal system, but the system must be enlightened and the law must be sound.

"What about the other royalists?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"There is also a faction of royalists headed by Tang Shenggong, if the former faction is to protect the feudal system, then Tang Shenggong's faction is only a royalist, he believes that if there is no emperor, then the people in the world will always strive to be the emperor, and the world will not be peaceful. Therefore, even if the chairman persuaded him like that, he still couldn't change his mind. Wang Lijian said.

"For a day without an owner, the world is uneven. In this way, the emperor of Tang Sheng started from the people?"

Wang Lijian shook his head, "In Tang Shenggong's eyes, there is no equality of all beings, he advocates respect and order, otherwise there will be no strange theory of teapots and cups." Speaking of which, I boasted to Tang Shenggong before, saying how you spend his writings, and if you meet in the future, you don't know anything about him, I'm afraid he will blame me. ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, "You told him this?"

"Well, last time I told a little lie about the translation of "Alive". Actually, it's not a lie, I thought that Tang Shenggong was well-known at home and abroad, and you should have read his books. Wang Lijian said.

"Alas, you're giving me problems everywhere. I think if I go to see him, I should have a showdown with him as soon as possible, saying: Tang Shenggong, I haven't read any of your books, Wang Lijian's guy was all made up before. Anyway, you said it, and you are to blame, and I won't help you carry the black pot. Zhuang Yan said.

Wang Lijian was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by carrying the black pot?"

Zhuang Yan was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Oh, I'm talking about the back (four sounds) black." ”

Wang Lijian suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to even speak Yanjing dialect, not bad." ”

"Ahem, isn't that wrong. I also made you angry, I said how it was so easy to let Tang Shenggong help me translate at that time, it turned out that he helped me shoot a lot of sycophants and told a lot of lies. ”

"Hehe, it's done anyway, now anyway, I've helped you shoot the fart, and now it's your turn to wipe your ass. I advise you, take advantage of these two days, it's best to buy a few books by Tang Shenggong and surprise them, so that you won't be unaware of all questions when the time comes. Wang Lijian said with a smile.

Zhuang Yan rolled his eyes, "Is it so easy to assault, don't you know how thick his books are combined? He has translated three of the four books, and I don't need to read these three books carefully, just a rough reading is estimated to not be able to be completed in a day." ”

"Whoever told you to actually read the original, you wouldn't buy the kind with explanations. It's best to buy those appreciations and take a look, people have read the books, and their opinions on these books are written in them, and you just read these appreciations. Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan was amused by his method, "Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to have this witty side, yes, you don't need to read books, just read book reviews, it's really an impetuous society." ”

"It's up to you to decide whether you're impetuous or not. ”

……

I walked from the hotel at ten o'clock, and arrived at the place at almost eleven o'clock, just a distance of more than ten kilometers and walked for an hour, which shows that the traffic in Yanjing is really not to be underestimated.

"Look, if we don't leave early, we'll probably be late. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded and expressed his convincing.

When they arrived at the Yuanyi Hotel, someone received them at the door, and a young man greeted them with a smile as soon as he saw Zhuang Yan and the two of them, "Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhuang, the venue is on the third floor, I'll take you over." ”

Zhuang Yan didn't express surprise that he could know himself, but he waved his hand, "No need, since we know that it's the third floor, let's just go in by ourselves, you just wait downstairs to greet others." ”

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still said, "That's the case, Mr. Zhuang, you are the last two on today's list, so if you come, I will complete the task." ”

"That's right, that's good, you'll take us up. Zhuang Yan smiled awkwardly.

Wang Lijian's face was also a little embarrassed, he knew that they came late, but he didn't expect that it would be the last two to come.

According to the previous situation, there will always be some people who come by pressure, but now it is only eleven o'clock, and there is still half an hour before the official start, and they have all arrived, which is really strange. However, this also proves the unusualness of this exchange meeting.

Led by the young man, Zhuang Yan and Wang Lijian walked to a large conference hall on the third floor.

At this time, the conference hall was very lively, and although everyone was sitting in their seats, they were still talking to each other in twos and threes.

Zhuang Yan was relieved at this time, what he was most afraid of was that the audience was silent, and then when he arrived, everyone in the audience paid attention to him.

But then Zhuang Yan couldn't laugh, because when they came in, someone had already noticed their presence and immediately began to pay attention to them.

If one person watches, it will cause a second person to watch, and after a while, the whole hall will slowly fall silent, from the loud voice just now, to the silence later.

This was even more embarrassing than the scene expected, Zhuang Yan stood in front and waved his hand to everyone embarrassedly, "Eh, good afternoon, everyone." ”

It's just that he said it so quietly that even he couldn't hear what he said. At this time, Wang Lijian poked him next to him, pointed to a place in front of him, Zhuang Yan looked over, and saw Ma Yinchu smiling and pointing to the vacant seat next to him, which meant that there was a place for them, and the two hurriedly walked towards Ma Yinchu and them.
