The family had a happy meal, and the banquet was filled with unusual laughter.

After they were full of wine and food, the three daughters retreated together with each other, leaving Wu Bochang and his son chatting with a cup of tea.

"Dad, the child has something to say, I want to hear what my father means."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"The child is thinking, the daughter of the Mo family has been allowed to the child for many years, and over the years, the Mo family has helped the child a lot, especially the old Mo, who can be described as doing his best...... Therefore, the child thought, is marrying the daughter of the Mo family back also a reward for the Mo family? ”

Wu Bochang was silent for a while and asked, "Before, why didn't you marry?" ”

Wu Zheng pursed his lips and replied: "Before, the child thought that he should rely on Mo Lao, but if the Mo family's daughter enters the door, it will make Mo Lao's hands too powerful, so he has been dragging his feet and not marrying, just to give the following a hint." ”

"So, do you think that worry doesn't exist now?" Wu Bochang asked with a calm face.

Wu Zheng thought for a moment and replied: "I am still worried, but this time is different from the past, the child has enough strength to deal with anything." ”

Wu Bochang smiled, "Then what else to say?" Marry! Dad looks at Mo's beauty, and her heart is good, the key is that she is smart enough...... Dad doesn't object, the more daughters-in-law, the better...... Haha, our Wu family can finally spread out now. ”

Wu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, "Then the child will be married?" ”

"Marry it, marry it, it's better to be sooner rather than later." Wu Bochang waved his hand, "By the way, my father also has something in his heart and wants to talk to you." ”

"Oh...... Daddy just talk about it. ”

"Zheng'er, in the past few years of teaching, my father has felt that the concept of a strong country is correct and acceptable to scholars, and it is also acceptable to scholars, and it is remarkable to let scholars turn around and influence relatives and friends at home, but it is undeniable that this initiative is also inappropriate."

"Please give me advice."

"It doesn't matter what you teach...... In this regard, Dad is not as good as you, so let's discuss it. Wu Bochang glanced at Wu Zheng deeply.

"Yes."

"The concept of a hypocritical monarch and a strong country has liberated the minds of the people, which cannot be denied, but the negative impact of this is that the king's appeal has been greatly reduced, if it is only in peacetime, then it is just that, but in the period of war, or like today, when the society is in danger, who can still ascend to the heights and shout, and the followers gather? The decline in the majesty of the king will cause the country to do more harm than good in a situation where the princes are divided among the various princes. The so-called rule of inaction, which has been legendary for thousands of years, but reality does not work, why? Because the people of the world have not yet attained the consciousness that can make the king do nothing...... You can't hope that the people will spontaneously fight the enemy, and you can't hope that the officials will spontaneously be honest and honest, and the rule of man will never reach the level that every official is a sage. ”

Wu Zheng replied: "What Dad said is all right, and it is also the essence of human rule, and the key point, Dad also said, lies in people." This is just like the trivial music class invited by the villagers when they usually encounter red and white things in our Wuzhuang family, a good music class does not care about the leader, even if it is a layman, and directs this music class with ease. On the contrary, no matter how good a commander is, he will be helpless against a rotten grass team. If the king is compared to the conductor of the music class, the same is true, in fact, the strength and weakness of the country, the rise and fall of the country, and the king Qingming, faint or not, this is why Emperor Chongzhen is diligent in government, and the Ming Dynasty is still in the country. ”

Wu Bochang sighed: "Now that you know, can you think about how to deal with it?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't Dad doing this?" ”

Wu Bochang was stunned and looked at Wu Zheng dumbly.

Wu Zheng explained: "In Jiangbei, countless Han people, the evil Ming army has been brutal and unscrupulous for a long time, seeing the Qing army attacking the city, they actually welcomed it, for them, there is no concept of country and nation, thinking that a new emperor, life will be better, so, it doesn't matter what the struggle, only in the south of the Yangtze River, there are more readers, understand the reason, only to know the struggle, only to know that you can die for your faith, although there are many scholars who have chosen the wrong path, but reading to know right and wrong, debate black and white, can not be denied. Today's situation is not actually a struggle between the extinct Ming and the Manchu Qing who entered the customs, but the confrontation between the north and the south of the Han scholars, no, to be precise, the opposition between the capitulation faction and the adherent faction. ”

Wu Bochang nodded thoughtfully and said, "There seems to be some truth in this. ”

Wu Zheng said: "The Manchurians have a total population of one million, how can they rule over tens of thousands of people in China?" In fact, it was nothing more than a group of scholars who used the military power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to deal with another group of scholars. ”

Wu Bochang frowned and shook his head: "This is not right. The Manchus still want to exterminate our Han people. ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Yes." But they can't do it, no one can do it, completely wipe out the Han people, who have been inherited for thousands of years, and the Huns can't do it, they themselves died first. The Mongols couldn't do it, and they were driven back to the desert by Taizu to eat sand. Today's Manchurians naturally can't do it. ”

Wu Bochang also laughed when he heard this, "What I said is appropriate." ”

"So, the Ming Dynasty died in the founding of the country for nearly three hundred years, lacked enough self-reflection, lost the enterprising heart externally, sat back and watched the growth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and lacked the cleaning mechanism of dust removal and dirt cleansing, allowing corruption to run rampant, official eunuchs colluded, and the emperor was too diligent in the later period, the emperor did not even have enough prestige to implement his new policy, and the will was blocked within the Forbidden City, especially after the Donglin Party took power, the eunuch party collapsed, and the Donglin Party sat back and relaxed, lacking constraints, and did not take the emperor seriously...... Such internal and external difficulties, coinciding with the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can they not die? But if it is said that the Qing Dynasty fell to the Ming Dynasty, I definitely disagree with this, just rely on the Tartars to enter the customs of only 130,000 people, even if the soldiers are under the city of Shuntianfu, I am afraid that they will not be able to attack, without the surrender of the Ming people, there will be no Qing court today. ”

Wu Bochang sighed and said: "That's the reason, the Chinese people have fallen into the hands of a million people, and it is a great humiliation for my Han people!" ”

"So, what Dad is doing now is the great cause of reshaping the backbone of the Han people. Guide and educate a generation of people, so that they can re-understand the concept of having no country and no home, and putting the interests of the nation first, so that every citizen can understand the truth that there are eggs under the nest, and when the time comes, there will be another foreign invasion, and there is no need for the king to levy troops and issue edicts, and everyone will stand up to resist,...... Such a Han nation is no longer likely to be defeated. Father, you will also go down in history and be immortalized! ”
