Chapter 70: The Soul of China
Qi Xuan put the prepared rice in front of Jiang Chuan, and gave Bai Jinxiu another bowl, then looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "Master Hou, have you forgotten who that girl was just now?" ”
Jiang Chuan said: "It looks familiar, but I really can't remember it." x”
Qi Xuan smiled and said: "Master Hou is a noble person who forgets things, this is still arranged by you personally, you really don't remember it at all?" ”
Jiang Chuan thought about it and still couldn't remember, shook his head and said, "I really can't remember, who is this woman?" ”
Qi Xuan was helpless, so she said: "Master Hou, she is the Manchu princess who was captured by you last time you attacked Liaoyang." ”
Jiang Chuan suddenly realized this time: "It turned out to be her, so I said that it looked familiar." But I remember that she seemed to call herself Princess Gulun Yongmu, why was she called Yatu? ”
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "Princess Gulun Yongmu is her title, and her real name is **Xinjueluo. Yatu. She has now become a prisoner of the Hou Ye, of course, she can no longer call the princess title, she can only call her real name. ”
Jiang Chuan understood this time, the last time Duoduo called, he exchanged her life for the lives of more than 300 people.
Later, Duoduo returned defeated, and the Qing court did not send anyone to come, and he forgot about this stubble, but he didn't expect to become a maid today.
Looking at Jiang Chuan's appearance, Qi Xuan knew that he hadn't remembered it yet, and understood that this Hou Ye had always been decisive in major matters, but he was very forgetful in some small things, so he had to continue to remind him: "Hou Ye, some time ago, the military advisor inadvertently mentioned her, Hou Ye, you said at the time that we can't raise idlers in vain, so let her do something in the mansion." So I arranged for her to be a maid in the house. During this time, seeing that she was also diligent and conscientious, and there was no squeamishness and resentment of the princess, so she arranged her in the inner courtyard on her own initiative, and she had not yet told Hou Ye and asked Hou Ye to forgive her sins. ”
After Qi Xuan said this, Jiang Chuan remembered that there was such a thing, when Liu Ji asked him how to deal with this Manchu princess, he said such a sentence casually, and then he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect to see her here today.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said, "I forgot about this matter." You are the chief administrator of the house, and it is your duty to arrange errands for your subordinates. ”
Bai Jinxiu frowned slightly when she listened: "After all, she is the princess of the enemy country, and she was captured by the Hou Ye, it is inevitable that there will be resentment in her heart, if she serves the Hou Ye, will there be no danger?" ”
She is now in charge of intelligence work, although it has only been less than half a year, but the nature of the work has made her thinking angle change significantly, and when she looks at a person, she will always involuntarily look at it from the dark side.
That's why I asked.
Faced with this question, Qi Xuan couldn't answer. After all, she was just an official lady before, and she didn't dare to guarantee anything.
Jiang Chuan smiled confidently, stretched out his hand and patted the back of Bai Jinxiu's hand on the table and said: "Don't worry too much, I am a dignified martial arts marquis, carrying tens of thousands of troops, if even an unarmed female streamer is afraid of it, then it is really a joke to spread it." I don't think this woman is the kind of fierce and rebellious person, if she really has the courage to stab me, then I really admire her. ”
After a pause, he continued: "The ancestors of the Tartars were originally Jurchens, who grew up between the white mountains and black waters, and have always been in the company of wild beasts, tigers and wolves, advocating the strong and bullying the weak, this is their nature. As long as you are stronger than them, they will surrender to you, wag their tails and beg for mercy, and dare not disobey. As for the fact that after becoming a prisoner, he still cherishes his homeland and is fierce and unyielding, this kind of thing can only be done by the sons of the Han family, who are deeply influenced by the way of loyalty and righteousness. For these Tartars, they don't talk about etiquette and loyalty, they only talk about the respect of the strong. For the sake of profit and status, they can even slaughter their own parents with their own hands. ”
Bai Jinxiu and Qi Xuan's eyes widened in surprise at Jiang Chuan's words, and they looked at him in disbelief.
Jiang Chuan looked at their expressions and knew that they didn't believe it, so he continued: "I know you don't believe it, I'll only say one thing, and you will hear it yourself." Today, the Manchu Emperor Huang Taiji is in power with Dai Shan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai. Except for Amin, who was the nephew of the Manchu old Khan Nurhachi, the other three were all Nurhachi's own sons.
Let's just say that this Mang Gurtai, so Nurhachi did not like his biological mother, and listened to rumors that he had an affair with Nurhachi's eldest son, and this Mang Gurtai personally strangled his biological mother in order to please his own son, and then ran to ask Nurhachi for credit, and Nurhachi actually did not seem to condemn him, but made him one of the four great beylers, so it can be seen that the Tartar is mad and inhumane. ”
Bai Jinxiu and Qi Xuan were dumbfounded when they heard this, and only after a while did they sigh in unison: "This person is really cruel and inhumane, and he actually killed his mother with his own hands in order to please his biological father, this is simply inferior to a beast, and a beast will not be like this!" ”
So this is the difference between the Chinese civilization and the barbarian people. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese civilization has been flowing for thousands of years without interruption, because our nation has revered heaven and law in its bones, paid attention to courtesy, righteousness, honesty, filial piety, loyalty, and righteousness, and has given birth to countless people with lofty ideals, heroes and martyrs, and unyielding arrogance. And if you look at the barbarian peoples in history who are as strong as jackals, tigers and leopards, even if they gain momentum for a while, they will be short-lived in the end. This world, after all, is still the world of our Han people. ”
Jiang Chuan's words were inspired by feelings, in fact, they are also his views all along, and they are also the most fundamental reason why the Chinese civilization summed up by later generations can become the only civilization among the four ancient civilizations that has not been interrupted or perished.
I just said this, and I said it in one breath.
Bai Jinxiu and Qi Xuan both had thoughtful expressions on their faces, obviously touched by Jiang Chuan's words. Although they are all women who have read books and know more than ordinary women, they have never thought about these things. As soon as Jiang Chuan said it today, they thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
The soul of China will live forever, and the Chinese civilization will not be destroyed.
After a while, the two of them came back to their senses, and then looked at Jiang Chuan with a little stupidity, and their eyes were full of admiration. Especially Bai Jinxiu, when she was in Baiyun Sect, although the master also gave her often the general trend of the world, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, but she never said so, these words made her like seeing the sun through the clouds, and her eyes were suddenly open-minded.
Qi Xuan was even more surprised, her father was a well-educated person, although he often told her about the deeds of many heroes in ancient times, but he had never summarized and analyzed so profoundly and from such a lofty position, which made the girl's heart for Jiang Chuan rise from the original admiration to respect, so that she suddenly had a feeling of admiration for him.
Once a woman starts worshipping a man, then the rest will be a matter of course.
Seeing the adoring eyes of the two girls, Jiang Chuan felt a little proud in his heart, and decided to continue to pretend to be forced to the end: "Let me ask you a question, have you all heard of the word bastard?" ”
Qi Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, this is a curse word, which is commonly used by the small people in the market." ”
Bai Jinxiu looked at Jiang Chuan, not knowing how he could talk about this.
Jiang Chuan smiled slightly: "Then do you know how the curse word bastard came from?" ”
The two women were stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Jiang Chuan was happy in his heart, and he didn't know that in the end, this marquis could perfectly pretend to be a cultural person again, so he coughed lightly and cleared his throat and said: "The original word of the bastard is to forget the eight ends. What are the eight ends? It is the eight ends of courtesy, righteousness, honesty, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness that I just mentioned. Therefore, forgetting the eight ends is used to scold those who have forgotten the moral bottom line and principles of courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, filial piety, and loyalty, and later became bastards after being falsely spread among the people. ”
The two girls suddenly realized, Qi Xuan looked at Jiang Chuan with admiration and said, "So that's the case, Master Hou didn't say it, I really didn't think about it." Hou Ye is so young, so well-read and knowledgeable, and his knowledge is extraordinary, he can make many old masters die of shame. ”
Bai Jinxiu didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Chuan stupidly, and basically meant the same thing.
Looking at the expressions of the two women, Jiang Chuan was secretly refreshed in his heart, but he still pretended to have a smile that was nothing on the surface.
It's really nice to have a woman worship, especially a beautiful woman, it's even cooler!
So it makes sense that knowledge can be pickled up with girls, thanks to the Chinese teacher! Jiang Chuan thought secretly in his heart.
