The fourth update is here, do you have any recommendations? Do you still have a collection? Da Luo Luo begged

In the Western Building of the Old Summer Palace, in front of the Great Water Law, Emperor Daoguang sat leisurely, two people stood beside him, and one of them was talking about something.

"China has a population of 40,000,000 and is far more vast and rich in products than the continent of Europa. If the whole country can be integrated, people can make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, make the best use of the land, keep the foundation of middle school, use the skills of Western learning, the length of the teacher, and the shortness of the attack, why worry about the country is not prosperous, China is not strong, dominate Asia, the dragon soars in the East, and the future is ......"

"Sixth, it's okay, let's carry it here."

Emperor Daoguang interrupted the sixth elder brother Yixin, and waved his hand lightly, Yixin was stunned, and arched his hand towards Daoguang, "Huang Ama, is there a mistake in the back of the minister?" ”

"There is no mistake in memorization, word for word." Emperor Daoguang looked back at his fourth son, Yixu, and asked, "Fourth, you come to evaluate first, is there any truth to Zhu Jishi's physical use?" ”

This is the latest view put forward by Zhu Jishi in the inaugural issue of Ta Kung Pao, a Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong that he founded, that China should follow the West for change. According to him, China's population, land, and resources are far stronger than those of the West. The main reason for the defeat in the Opium War was that science was inferior to people, industry and commerce were inferior to people, administrative efficiency was inferior to people, and the organization and training of the army were not as good as people.

Therefore, it is necessary to reform, but reform is not the same as total westernization, China's long-standing culture, the ideas of Confucius and Mencius, are the foundation of the country and the nation, just like Western Christianity, which is the "foundation" that must be adhered to. If we abandon our original culture and ideas, then the 40,000,000 Chinese will fall apart and China will cease to exist. Because the identity of the Chinese nation is based on this traditional culture and thought. But things outside of this fundamental, we can't stick to the rules, and we don't know how to change at all, because there are many strong countries today, and if the weak countries are unwilling to try to be strong, it will only be a matter of time before they perish and divide up. And if you want to be strong, of course, you have to learn from the strengths of other countries, as long as you keep your roots, you don't need to have any worries about learning from other countries.

This freshly baked "Ta Kung Pao" has already been obtained by Bai Siwen, and together with his own secret fold, it has been sent to Emperor Daoguang in Beijing with an expedited 600 miles. Daoguang let both Yixin and Yixu read this masterpiece, and now he wants to consult their opinions, which is actually to test whether the minds of the two are suitable for the future king of the Qing Dynasty.

Yi Xin is the Prince Gong in history, he is only 15 years old this year, and he is only 13 years old, but he is very smart and has a good memory, and he can recite it after reading it twice. However, being an emperor is not only to have a good memory, but also to have political insight.

However, how much can a 13-year-old Shota know about politics? Therefore, after Emperor Daoguang asked Yi Xin to recite the article "Middle School Oriented, Western Learning for Use", he first consulted Yi Xin, who was two years older than Yi Xin.

"Erchen, Erchen......" Yi Su complained in his heart, he was two years older than Yi Xin, but his brain was stupid, his reaction was slow, and his comprehension ability was even worse. But today's question is unexpected, Du Shoutian has not read Zhu Jishi's article at this time, of course, it is impossible to prepare the answer in advance.

"Erchen thinks that the law of the ancestors must have its truth, and it cannot be easily changed...... "After holding back for a long time, he finally held back such a sentence that the family law of the ancestors is immutable.

Daoguang shook his head, not very satisfied, and asked Yixin again, "Sixth, tell me about it." ”

Yi Xin said loudly: "Erchen thinks that what Zhu Jishi said is reasonable, we were defeated by England before, and if we are defeated, there will be a reason for defeat, and we must find the reason and carry out reforms in order to make the country Chang'an." ”

Daoguang nodded, what Yi Xin said sounded like this, but it didn't say anything about the roots.

"Sixth, do you think that middle school is the foundation, is this right?" Daoguang asked again.

"This ...... That's right! Yi Xin thought for a moment and then replied, "Of course, the way of Confucius and Mencius cannot be changed. ”

Daoguang sighed in his heart, a little disappointed, although Yixin is smart, but compared to the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, it is still much inferior, and his cleverness is still a little clever.

"Fourth, you say, middle school is the foundation, right?"

Hearing this question, Yi Su was about to cry, what is going on today? How could the question of Huang Ama be so difficult? Is this a son or a jinshi?

"Huang Ama, son-in-law, son-in-law doesn't know ......"

Emperor Daoguang glanced at Yi Su and sighed, two sons, one is a little smart, and the other is stupid, but he is also an honest person.

"Zhu Jishi has sinister intentions!" Emperor Daoguang's originally calm complexion suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "The foundation of the dynasty has never been a middle school, but the Eight Banners!" Only by guarding the Eight Banners will the dynasty be peaceful. Zhu Wei said that middle school is the foundation of the dynasty, but in fact, he is currying favor with all the scholars in the world, and he is trying in vain to shake the foundation of my Qing Dynasty! If this person had been in the time of the Holy Ancestor and the High Sect, he would have already died and the clan would have been wiped out! ”

Is this going to be exciting**? Yi Xin and Yi Xu said in their hearts, Zhu Jishi squinted on Hong Kong Island, even if the emperor Lao Tzu wanted to destroy his clan, he had to ask the English if they agreed?

If Zhu Jishi heard Emperor Daoguang's comments on his masterpiece, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. He really didn't think of replacing the "Eight Banners-based" with "middle school-oriented", but the idea of using "middle school-oriented" to win the support of domestic intellectuals for "Western learning for use" did exist.

"The core idea that we want to instill in readers in this "Ta Kung Pao" is: middle school is the foundation, and Western learning is for use. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to highlight the advantages of the foundation of secondary school, compare the way of Confucius and Mencius with Western Christianity, Yslanism, and Hinduism, and let readers realize the advantages and advantages of the way of Confucius and Mencius, and let readers realize that we are ...... who support and believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius."

In the conference room of Hong Kong Island, Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Jishi University, Zhu Jishi is gathering several editors of "Ta Kung Pao", that is, Huang Zhisheng, Ren Yijiang, and Tang Qiwen, to arrange the propaganda caliber of "Ta Kung Pao" to them.

It's really a headache to say, now there are some thugs in Zhu Jishi's team, there are also many businessmen who can do business, and there are more foreign devils with all kinds of skills, but there are very few Chinese Confucian intellectuals, and none of them have passed the exam. The only people in this conference room who can write some articles are the only four people in this room, so enlisting the support of Chinese Confucian intellectuals is Zhu Jishi's top priority.

For Confucianism, later generations received mixed praise, less praise and more depreciation. It seems that the weakness of China lies with Confucianism. However, after accepting the theory of the Western nation-state, Zhu Jishi believed that Chinese Confucianism could only be reformed, not abandoned. Just like Christianity, shijie can only transform Christianity, not completely deny it. Since the Chinese do not attach importance to religion, the philosophical idea of Confucianism is actually religion. It is precisely because of Confucianism that 40,000,000 people will unite into one nation and one country. If Zhu Jishi now comes up with another idea to replace Confucianism, then for a long time, there will definitely be ideological confusion in China, and the original intellectuals who believe in Confucianism will all stand on the opposite side of Zhu Jishi. Worse still, if Zhu Jishi is unable to unify China in the short term, then the Chinese will live under the guidance of both ideologies, and it is very likely that conflicts will eventually arise between Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. The country will even be divided because of two different modes of thinking.
