Chapter 367: Princess Yicheng's Controversy
Wang Yi was extremely repulsive to Confucian officialdom, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, so Xu Shichang was right, the Qing court that occupied the city of Beijing must collapse, and the Confucian culture that had imprisoned China for more than a thousand years should also be eradicated...... Confucianism does not get rid of it, and the superstructure that governs China remains unchanged, and in this era of great scientific and technological changes, China's reform is the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and the meaningless mansion in the air. In the contest with the blood and fire of the world powers, he will only be completely defeated.
Regardless of whether this theory that extremely rejects Confucianism is right or wrong, Wang Yi came from later generations, and he knew what kind of road New China had taken to be reborn.
Just when Wang Yi used his experience a hundred years later to boast and be complacent in front of Xu Shichang, there was now an extremely discordant scene in the university he boasted about. The two groups of people quarreled with each other, and the atmosphere was very hot. And this scene is appearing in a campus square not far from Wang Yi and Xu Shichang, for Wang Yi, it is simply a naked slap in the face in front of Xu Shichang.
"Nima, what the hell is going on?" Wang Yi has been in his own university for so long, and it is the first time he has seen such a scene.
Because he lost face in front of Xu Shichang, his face was not very good, and he walked forward with Xu Shichang and a group of guards. Chu Yuan separated the crowd, Wang Yi walked in, and said, "Why is it so noisy in public places?" ”
Both parties in the crowd were not very old, and they looked about the same as Wang Yi, about twenty years old. There were men and women in these dozen or so people, and they looked like college students. They are not very familiar with Wang Yi, if it weren't for Wang Yi with a bodyguard, his identity is extraordinary, and the boys inside who are already red-eyed may not have said anything.
Someone knew Wang Yi and immediately gave Wang Yi a gift. When the others saw it, they were startled and immediately followed suit.
Because Wang Yi asked, the two groups of people who were originally arguing are now a little scared, but no one who is young and vigorous is willing to give in, so they want Wang Yi to comment. One of them, the tall man on the left-hand side, said with respect, "Sir." ”
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"We are all from the history department of the university, so we are not arguing, but arguing about the merits and demerits of a person."
When Wang Yi heard this, he frowned, so he didn't speak. Xu Shichang on the side became interested and said, "Who is arguing about?" ”
Of course, the students present did not know Xu Shichang, looking at his age, and walking beside Wang Yi, he felt that it should be an official of the autonomous region, since he asked, there was no reason not to answer, and a round-faced girl on the other side of the quarrel replied: "We are talking about Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty!" ”
Who Princess Yicheng was, Wang Yi didn't know at all, and looked back at Xu Shichang. The latter was familiar with literature and history, and was obviously much more knowledgeable than him in this regard, so he whispered in Wang Yi's ear: "Princess Yicheng is the daughter of the Sui Dynasty, her birth year is unknown, and she is the princess of the Sui Dynasty. Nineteenth year of the emperor's reign...... That is, in 599 A.D., Princess Anyi, who was originally at peace with the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan, died. In order to maintain friendly relations with the Turks and support the pro-Sui Qimin Khan, Emperor Wen of Sui married Princess Yicheng to him. Princess Yicheng lived in the Turks for nearly 30 years, and successively married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan, the latter three of whom were the sons of Qimin Khan. Unlike most princesses who are close to each other, this Princess Yicheng can be regarded as one who took the initiative to dedicate herself to the country...... Later, when Shibi Khan led the Turks south, she helped Emperor Yang of Sui relieve the siege. However, when Li Tang occupied the world, this woman repeatedly instigated the Turkic khans to go south, in a vain attempt to restore the Sui dynasty. Later, Li Jing broke the Turks, and Princess Yicheng became a prisoner and was killed soon after. ”
Princess Yicheng did not have many records in the Book of Sui and Zizhi Tongjian, and Xu Shichang was afraid that Wang Yi would not understand classical Chinese, so he translated it into the vernacular.
"I see," said the king...... nodding, but somewhat strangely, "what are you arguing about her?" ”
The round-faced girl who spoke earlier was a little unhappy, and said, "Sir, don't you think Princess Yicheng is great?" As the daughter of the royal family, she has a noble body and a respected status, but for the safety of the world, she resolutely married the land of the barbarian state, sacrificing her personal happiness and seeking peace for the border people. ”
As soon as he heard this, the boy who spoke first disagreed: "Ignore this, and seek peace for the border people?" Joke! The boy spoke with a hint of contempt. After Li Tang destroyed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, in order to take revenge, this woman repeatedly provoked the relationship between the Turks and Li Tang, instigated the Turks to go south, and provoked border troubles. How many civilians were killed, how many were displaced, and even captured to the Turks, and their lives were miserable. ”
Speaking of this, watching the two sides start the debate again, Wang Yi understood that these people are really idle eggs. Originally, Wang Yi set up the Department of History at Dashang University, which was more associated with archaeology, on the one hand, to promote the culture of the Celestial Empire, trace the roots, and not let history be cut off. On the other hand, it is for the sake of personnel arrangement. Although Wang Yi did not want to see Confucianism, in this era, many Confucians still had great prestige in the world. If these people are encircled, there will be less great obstacles to the unification of the world in the future. However, Wang Yi didn't want them to occupy a high position in the autonomous region government, at least those extremely stubborn brains and bones would not enter the government, so the position of professor in the history department was a good choice. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that this location has all kinds of cultural relics in the Dashang Museum, especially the Chinese treasures such as the oracle bone inscription, and the literary masterpieces such as the "Yongle Grand Canon", the Confucians invited by Wang Yi might not have taken the position of a professor of the Department of History seriously.
However, when it comes to the two groups of people in front of him, he doesn't have much impression of the previous boy Wang Yi, but he has some memories of the round-faced girl.
"Are you Tang Qunying?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
"Sir, remember me?"
"You've been to Ning Island with Yazhi, and you're from the Hearts Society?"
"Yes!"
Wang Yi laughed at this time, turned back to Xu Shichang and said, "Mr. Xu, do you know why your girl is upset about Princess Yicheng?" ”
Xu Shichang smiled and shook his head.
"She, don't look young, but she is a well-known feminist activist in our Northeast. My daughter-in-law and she are close friends, and they talk about feminist liberation all day long. In my opinion, the ladies of my family may give me a revolution when they are happy. ”
The people around laughed when they heard it, Tang Qunying was embarrassed, and said, "Sir, you are laughing." ”
