Text Chapter 489 - A Proverb (3)
In a word, it is a prophecy.
The joke between Zhu Pingjin and his wife has become a reality.
Unconscious, he straightened up and was carried back to Boryeong Mansion.
Rewind the clock to two hours ago.
A fast horse took advantage of the setting sun to rush into the north gate of Boryeong Mansion. The rider with the red flag did not have time to rest his foaming horses, and rushed straight through the crowded streets towards a Protector Army barracks inside the Jinping Gate in the southern city. The North Sichuan Branch of the Intelligence Bureau under Liu Mingsheng's command was in that barracks.
In the rider's backpack, a top-secret order was carried. The order was signed by Shu Guoping, Sun Hong, and Cheng Xiangfeng, and after briefly explaining the condition of the son, the three ordered Liu Mingsheng to immediately take emergency measures to secretly control the female actor named Yueqing in the Song and Dance Troupe of the Propaganda Bureau of the General Staff and start an inquiry on the spot.
The content, procedure and main points of the questioning are as follows: First, ask her whether she is the eighth in the clan and whether she is called "Eighth Sister". If you can confirm it, ask her if she has had any emotional entanglements with Shizi. If it can be confirmed, then arrange for her to meet with the prince and try to let her wake up the unconscious son.
In the order, the three of them especially emphasized to Liu Mingsheng that the questioning of the Yueqing girl should be cordial and kind, and the spring breeze and drizzle should be carried out, and intimidation and punishment should be absolutely prohibited. Ask quickly, and it is best to get the result before the prince arrives in Boryeong.
If the eighth sister is the Yueqing girl, and Miss Luo did not leave the Baoning Mansion, and forbade the Yueqing girl to meet the prince for personal emotional reasons, then Liu Mingsheng should focus on the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, and the great cause of "protecting the country and the people" initiated by the prince, and all for the recovery of the son, and advise Miss Luo. If the admonition fails, the admonition will be carried out; If the death admonition fails, the military admonition will be carried out. The Protector Army's garrison in Boryeong Province will receive another order to cooperate with Liu Mingsheng's actions.
……
In this way, the three-person former enemy committee kicked the red charcoal round to Liu Mingsheng. To control and question an ordinary junior officer, for Liu Mingsheng, he only needs to notify the person's superiors in accordance with the procedure and provide assistance to two able-bodied soldiers when the person's superiors talk to the person. But how to control Yueqing made him hesitate again and again, worried about not only Yueqing himself, but also Yueqing's superior, Yang Tai, the head of the Song and Dance Troupe of the Propaganda Bureau.
The song and dance troupe was stationed in the same military camp as Liu Mingsheng and occupied two small houses under the southern city wall. The leader of the song and dance troupe is named Yang Tai, a middle-aged poet of the Fengyue faction, who is famous for holding several "Thousand Military Blind Date Conferences" among many ordinary soldiers of the Protector Army.
Yang Tai is handsome and talented, and he plays several roles in the song and dance troupe, including screenwriter, arranger, director and actor. With this skill, he became one of King Shu's favorite people in the past.
As soon as the king left, Yang Tai, like many old people in the palace, was arrested by the Tusi soldiers and entered the trial division. After several months of interrogation, he had no connection with the counter-revolutionary clique of King Fushun, and he was released from his cell and expelled from the palace.
The great change of fate and the embarrassment of life made Yang Tai choose to continue to take refuge in Zhu Pingjin.
Zhu Pingjin arranged for Yang Tai to be the vice president of the Youth Federation, focusing on youth literature and art. Later, because of his initiative and achievements, he was able to transfer to the Song and Dance Troupe of the Propaganda Bureau of the National Protector Army as the head of the troupe.
Most of the people in this song and dance troupe are from the old people of the Shu Palace, and Yang Tai is the most familiar. When he returned to the head of the regiment, he became the head of the courtesan team again. But the song and dance troupe is only a battalion-level unit, and Yang Tai has become the only deputy battalion commander in the National Protector Army.
Liu Mingsheng knew that Yang Tai, like many old people in the palace, had become frightened birds after experiencing that sudden night. For anything that is uncertain, there is instinct to resist. Regarding the matter of controlling Yueqing, Yang Tai will definitely not be able to hide from it. Once Yang Tai knows that Shizi is unconscious, according to his past experience, whether he will choose a new master is also a question.
Leave Yang Tai behind and let the Intelligence Bureau go it alone?
Liu Mingsheng thought about it.
But Yueqing is a famous character, and he is a good friend of the world. If she loses her temper, what will she do? But once forced to be rude, it is a violation of the order of "cordial and kind, spring breeze and drizzle".
Liu Mingsheng thought about it, and finally figured it out: it's not that Yueqing is not easy to take, nor is it Yang Tai's drifting, but that he is suffering from gains and losses!
The son of the world is his own master, and Miss Luo has a special history with herself.
I don't want to be caught in a dilemma between the prince and Miss Luo!
Later, when this dusty historical past was opened, it showed not a gray and blue tone of vicissitudes of life, but a dazzling color.
According to the memories of the men in the barracks that night, Miss Luo was dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and suddenly came and personally picked up Miss Yueqing into the car. On the carriage, in addition to the three women, there was also a tall brute soldier who did not leave the left and right.
The sudden appearance of so many richly dressed women in the barracks was something that the men in the barracks had never seen before. But why Miss Luo suddenly arrived at the barracks is inconclusive.
According to Tan Fang, who was Miss Luo's secretary at the time, Miss Luo and Miss Yue were walking and talking by the Jialing River that day, and the two cried a few times and laughed a few times, as if they were stunned.
But when the news came that the unconscious prince had been transported back to Boryeong, both women picked up their skirts and ran. As for who came first and who came last, and who held whose hand, Tan Fang explained that her eyes were dazzled at the time and she didn't see clearly.
……
When Zhu Pingjin opened his eyes again, it was already a morning three days later.
To the surprise of some gossip enthusiasts, Zhu Pingjin, the son of the awakened prince, merely understated the news of his complete recovery in a message urging local governments to improve the hygiene habits of the people. Immediately, the full text of this decree was published in the special issue of the Fuxing Newspaper on the Northern Sichuan War.
People with a sensitive sense of political smell immediately made this interpretation: This son can not only manage your food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also manage your and urine! As for who that "you" are, you all understand.
On March 18, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Pingjin, the prince of the family, who had been closed for a long time, summoned wave after wave of anxious people in the Panlongchi Pavilion in the north of the city to calm the uneasiness and fear surging among the ministers of the clan and the common soldiers.
Among those who were fortunate enough to be summoned were dozens of young talents from Jinping Academy.
Shizi talked with the youth, chatted with the youth. In the conversation, Shizi clearly stated his determination to restore the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, and highly praised the great self-sacrifice spirit of the soldiers of the Protector Army in the war in northern Sichuan. Shizi called on aspiring young people in Sichuan, regardless of gender, regardless of background, to actively join the National Defense Army.
He profoundly pointed out that the thieves, bandits, and Tartars, all the clowns who jumped off the beam, wanted to jump out and become revolutionaries, abolish the mandate of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and they could replace them and ride on the heads of the people to make a fortune.
However, if there are tens of thousands of staunch counter-revolutionaries like the officers and men of the National Defense Army, and tens of millions of gentry and ordinary people who have already become enlightened or are in the process of becoming conscious, they will join the rolling torrent of counter-revolution, and the ranks of counter-revolutionaries will become stronger and stronger, and all revolutionaries, such as thieves, bandits, and Tartars, will be doomed to fail in their attempt to stage the "Chongzhen Revolution"!
On that day, of course, the topic of conversation would not have left the recent war in northern Sichuan, especially the tragic bloody battle of Bolt Mountain.
When the rumor that the prince was in the midst of the army and was unharmed was confirmed by the prince himself, the Boryeong Mansion fell into an inexplicable carnival again. It seems that Zhu Pingjin killed not nine, but nine thousand, ninety thousand. Some of the more outrageous rumours have also been fabricated by the well-wishers in the street chatter, who say:
The prince has three heads and six arms, as well as a divine power to protect his body!
Of course, the topics between Zhu Pingjin and the guests were not entirely focused on these things of fighting and killing people.
For example, the topic between Zhu Pingjin and the head of Jinping Academy, the president of the Sichuan Confucianism Research Association for the Protection of the Country and the People, and the 64th generation of Nankong, the old master of Confucius, was very philosophical and logical, which made the Dazhou geniuses who accompanied the record very addicted.
Of course, Li Changxiang didn't know that as soon as Master Kong returned home, he polished and wiped the ancestral tablet on the table in the hall, and slept with tears in his eyes.
Later, this conversation was serialized in the Fuxing newspaper and compiled into a booklet, and some of the text was translated into market slang like this:
The prince asked Confucius (Confucius Shangxue) how to make his own political demands of "protecting the country and the people, and the world peaceful" in line with the Confucian political ideal of "great harmony under heaven"?
Confucius replied:
The great harmony of the world is the ultimate ideal of Confucianism, and its characteristic is that "the world is for the public". However, the "Datong" society can only be achieved in the era of "the journey of the road". Before that, there was a low-level stage, which was the "well-off" society in the era of "the road is hidden".
The characteristics of a "moderately prosperous" society are that "the world is private" and "the world is home". In a moderately prosperous society, there are kings and people, there are countries and armies, and there are etiquette and criminal laws. The monarch is benevolent, the country is rich and strong, and the people are healthy. In ancient times, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou and other sages ruled the world prosperously, which is well-off.
It can be seen from this that "peace in the world" is a necessary condition for realizing the political ideal of Confucianism from "moderately well-off" to "great harmony".
Only by achieving peace in the world can the country's social and family bloodlines be continued, and the morality of the monarch and ministers, fathers, sons, couples and brothers can be preserved; In order to make the people have food and clothing, and get rid of the fate that people are not as good as dogs in troubled times; Only then can the Confucian Taoist system be continued in the flames of war, and the four dimensions and eight virtues can become the consistent code of conduct in the world.
In order to achieve "peace in the world", we can only rely on "protecting the country and securing the people". This country is not only the Shu Domain, but also the Ming Dynasty; This "people" is not only the people of Shu, but also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and all the thousands of living beings in the world who are suffering. Therefore, the political aspiration of "protecting the country and the people, and maintaining peace in the world" is completely unified in essence with the Confucian political ideal of "universal harmony".
The prince said:
The "Datong" and "well-off" mentioned by the sage are not only the wishes of the people, but also his position as the monarch of Shu
There is the lifelong pursuit of Confucian disciples. However, in terms of "seeking truth from facts," it is still too early to pursue a general well-off.
The way of heaven is constant and different, unevenness is the norm, and all are abnormal, and everything is relative. Some people in wealthy areas may enter the well-off in advance, while many people in other poor areas are still a distant dream because of extreme poverty.
Therefore, the journey of the avenue, whether explicit or hidden, must go through three stages: food and clothing, well-off and Datong.
Compared with "well-off" and "Datong", the prominent feature of a "well-off" society is the word "profit". The reason is not difficult to understand, it is precisely because of "poverty" and "inequality between the rich and the poor" that people have to pursue "profit".
Only by achieving universal food and clothing can more people enter the well-off; Only by achieving a general well-off can we open the door for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world to enter the great era of "great harmony under heaven".
Therefore, at present, through "protecting the country and the people", the purpose of achieving "peace in the world" is to achieve "food and clothing", not "well-off".
Shizi also directly quoted a famous quote from the sage Confucius to prove his point:
"Those who are in a political urgency will not be able to make the people rich and long-lived! (Note 1) "That is, the pursuit of the common people, that is, to have money to spend and life to spend."
Whatever the people want, the heavens will do (Note 2). The monarch is a son of heaven and should obey the will of heaven and the wishes of the people.
On the basis of this argument, Shizi boldly asserted that Confucius's views on the unity and opposition of righteousness and benefit had touched the core of the stage of "wanting food and clothing but not being able to", but unfortunately it did not go deeper.
Yasheng Mencius's view, which absolutely opposed righteousness and benefit, made a serious mistake, and its poisonous influence has been affected to this day. can only talk about righteousness, but not profit, so that the reader is ashamed to talk about profit, but has to pursue profit, resulting in their personality split; It is rare for the common people to have a full meal, so they have to sing high notes with hunger and play spiritual tooth sacrifices.
The science of science pays attention to "preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires", and made a mistake similar to Mencius, that is, the absolute opposition of heavenly principles and human desires.
Zhu Zi didn't understand that in many cases, it was the principle of heaven that people wanted to do so. If you absolutely oppose the desires of heaven and man, you will fall into logical embarrassment.
Like a king, he is a son of heaven. He can't represent the sky, who will? If the king represents the will of heaven, then is the will of the king a human desire or a heavenly principle?
The study of mind emphasizes the "unity of knowledge and action", which provides a good methodology for achieving the goals of Confucianism. Unfortunately, however, the study of the mind was confined to the limitations of its predecessors, and not only did it not understand what the real "Heavenly Principle" was, but instead falsely claimed that "the mind is the reason", and cultivated many mad disciples and heresies.
WANG YANGMING'S STUDENT LI ZHEN (ZHI) IS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE. Li Zhen advocates what bullshit "sincerity" and "childlike innocence". According to his fallacies, the adulteress Pan Jinlian has become a warrior who pursues "sincerity" and "childlike innocence", while Wu Erlang, who is a prostitute, has become a defender who goes against his heart!
The prince also said that Emperor Taizu Gao was born recklessly, from the people, and his nature was simple, so he had a unique eye and saw through the fallacy of Yasheng at a glance, so he made a "Mencius Festival". Those corrupt Confucians don't learn and don't know how to do it, they only know what people do, and even slander Emperor Taizu Gao with this.
If the future generations are kings, do not know the principles of heaven, do not know the desires of people, blindly follow the heart, blindly have the courage to act, good will be good, evil will be great evil. Once you go crazy, it will inevitably make the society dusty and the world miserable.
Because of this, the prince decided to re-issue the "Mencius Verses" to correct some serious errors in the "Mencius", and took this opportunity to launch the original source of Confucianism in Shu, so as to unify the thinking of Shudi, gather the consensus of Shudi, and strengthen Shudi's will to resist thieves and captives.
……
According to the sporadic news that came out later, Si Shizi still laughed and said: Mencius, upright and willful; ZHU ZI, ELOQUENT AND ELOQUENT (XIA); Yang Ming, inheriting the mantle of Mencius's two theories of good and evil! Confucius is Confucius, Meng is Meng, the only avenue, how can Confucius and Mencius be called in the temple?
At that time, Confucius wept and couldn't speak, and bowed and retreated.
The next day, Confucius presented a piece of "Treatise on Food and Clothing" to the world.
Nezan Shizi: Fa Tian Xingdao, the saint is also!
For more than ten months, Confucius presented a brilliant and stunning work:
The Theory of Relativity.
In the Theory of Relativity, Confucius said:
The relative is absolute, and the absolute is relative. All things are born relatively, and all things are transformed relatively. Yin can breed yang, and yang can moisten yin. Stone can give birth to jade, and black iron can turn into gold. Space can be changed for time, and time can be changed for space. The emperor can change into a rogue and a rogue can enter the unification.
The crux of the matter is the conditions.
With the right conditions, everything can be transformed. The kind of thinking that regards one thing as eternal and that one thing is absolutely opposed to another is wrong, absurd, and cannot stand the test of history and facts.
