On July 27, the twelfth year of Shunzhi, he was in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the second elder brother is indeed extraordinary, so easily accepted that foreign-haired Bekotov!" Wang Yuele of Anjun vividly described to Fulin yesterday in his own mansion, after Xiao Xuanye staged the good scene of surrendering Bekotov, he made a concluding statement.

"But what's the use of gathering such a surrendered foreigner?" Fu Lin naturally does not blame himself, the son who has not yet opened the mansion, for accepting a Western-style man, after all, he has been willingly promoted to Dorobelle, and he is very interested in putting this foreign slave in captivity under the nose of King Anjun, that is, telling himself that this father, I don't shy away from Huang Ama you in these things! But a foreigner or a defeated general, what is the place of gold?

"Your Majesty, the slave was originally puzzled, but Xuan Ye and the slave said that Western firearms are very good, although they are not comparable to my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but they also have their own uniqueness. In this battle of Humar, Ming Andali did suffer the loss of Rakshasa firearms at the beginning, and if it weren't for those hundreds of Korean spearmen, the day of victory might have to be delayed for a while......"

"Firearms really can't be ignored, but the art of riding and archery is the foundation of my life in the Qing Dynasty! Fourth brother, what do you say? Fu Lin knew that Yue Le would definitely know his attention, so he asked deliberately.

"Your Majesty, this is a critical place!" Yue Le really accentuated his tone, "Yesterday, the second elder brother told the slave what the root is, and whether this root must be immutable, it is indeed worth thinking about after listening to it. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" Fu Lin got down from the throne, walked to Yue Le, and held down the fourth brother who was about to get up to report, but ordered Wu Liangfu to move another seat, and sat in front of Yue Le, posing as the two brothers had a long talk.

"Huh!" Yue Le's heart warmed, and he recalled yesterday's events more originally, in detail-

It turned out that after Kadahun escorted Bekotov back to the military department to verify his skills, Xuan Ye did not mean to leave immediately, and Yue Le happened to have the idea of in-depth communication, and the two chatted for another hour in the secret room of the study.

Yue Le first asked Xuan Ye if the sentence asking Bekotov "how useful it is" was too utilitarian? Unexpectedly, Xuan Ye was not ashamed, and said with a natural expression: "Fourth uncle, my nephew knows that you agree with the Manchu and Han families, and the reason for this is the breadth and profundity of the Han family's knowledge. But the breadth and profundity of the book cannot hide his long-standing complacency. Have you ever noticed that if all the knowledge of tens of thousands of Han people and thousands of Han ministers is really as they say, they are the only ones in the world, who else is left to me, how could the Han people be suppressed by Dajin for a long time during the Zhao and Song dynasties, and how could they finally surrender the world to the Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai twelve years ago? You know, at that time, in their eyes, we Manchuria were barbarians and backward generations, and today we look at Rakshasa like that! ”

Yue Le was shocked, after all, the little nephew in front of him had used his various performances for more than a year to slowly shape himself into a Chery Holy Infant who could almost "go straight to the sky", could his words be a hint at the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty?

"Lord Belle, you...... I ...... Qing Dynasty" Yue Le was a little speechless for a while, and beads of sweat flowed down.

"Haha, the fourth uncle is too worried! Xuan Ye didn't mean that, at least for a hundred years, he didn't have such worries. Seeing that Yue Le was a little relaxed, Hongyi paused slightly, because he knew that as a reformer in the early Qing Dynasty, Yue Le must have thought about it for a long time. Sure enough, King Anjun, who came back to the taste, was soon worried again, after all, but as a royal clan that advocated "Manchu and Han integration" to consolidate the long-term rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty Guozuo wanted to be sustainable for eternity, how to enter the customs for more than 100 years to have national fortune worries? Where is the worry?

"However, if I just blindly take the sour and self-contained knowledge of the Han relics as treasures, if the imperial court can't carefully distinguish them, so that the fish and dragons are mixed and the mud and sand are all down, it is estimated that after a hundred years, the Chinese majesty will no longer be there!" Hongyi's meaningful making has a "mysterious and unknowable" conclusion.

"How can the Han doctrine be a sour and smelly doctrine?" Yue Le was very puzzled, and even a little annoyed.

"Fourth uncle, don't worry, my nephew doesn't want to completely deny the Han family's knowledge. The so-called Han culture must be led by Confucianism! After all, China has been 5,000 years old, and it has been more than 2,000 years since Confucius became a saint, and his achievements are incomparable. ”

Yue Le nodded slightly, waiting for the following.

"This Confucianism basically adheres to the principles of 'kissing' and 'respect', upholds 'rule of etiquette', advocates 'rule by virtue', and attaches importance to 'rule of benevolence'. These 'three rules' can be called the three isms of Confucianism! ”

"The fundamental meaning of Confucianism's 'etiquette' is 'different', that is, the noble and the low, the inferior and the young, each have their own special behavioral norms. Only when the noble and the low, the noble and the low, the elder and the younger, and the relatives and relatives have their own courtesies, can we achieve the ideal society of the monarch, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, the brothers, the younger brothers, the husbands, and the women in the Confucian mind. The governance of the state depends on the stability of the hierarchical order. The Confucian 'rites' are also a form of law. It is centered on maintaining the patriarchal hierarchy, and if the norms of 'rites' are violated, they will be punished by 'punishment'. ”

"And this etiquette, it can be said that at the moment I Qing Dynasty punish Rakshasa and other Western barbarians a sharp weapon, my heavenly kingdom to subdue people, if those barbarian countries are unreasonable, do not follow the etiquette system, light can be reprimanded and educated, if they repeatedly do not change, then heavy can raise troops to punish the country, punish its first evil! If the rakshasa is obsessed, this method is feasible! Yue Le suddenly realized that it was for this reason that Xuan Ye angrily accused Stepanov of all kinds of crimes at the noon gate that day!

"Confucianism's 'rule by virtue' doctrine advocates the use of morality to influence and educate people. Confucianism believes that no matter whether human nature is good or evil, morality can be used to influence and educate people. This method of indoctrination is a kind of psychological transformation, so that people's hearts are good, they know shame and have no evil hearts. This is the most thorough, fundamental and positive approach that cannot be achieved by legal sanctions. The more Hongyi spoke, the more excited he became, and he didn't care about the docking of modern words with the language environment at that time, but fortunately, although the words were jerky, Yue Le could still basically understand the meaning, so he didn't interrupt.

"Confucianism's doctrine of 'benevolent governance', when it comes to the fundamental, has evolved into 'rule by man', that is, the idea of attaching importance to the specialization of man, attaching importance to man's possible moral development, attaching importance to man's sympathy, and treating man as a 'man' who can change and can have a very complex choice initiative and ethical nature to manage and rule. From this point of view, there is a great deal of connection between the doctrine of 'rule by virtue' and the doctrine of 'rule by man.' The "rule by virtue" emphasizes the process of indoctrination, while the "rule of benevolence" focuses on the virtuous person himself, and the rule depends on the governance of the virtuous. Because Confucianism believes that 'personality' has great appeal, it has developed into extreme 'rule by man' doctrine such as 'governing the government in the people' and 'governing the people without the law'. ”

After Hongyi finished saying this large paragraph, he looked at Yue Le carefully, and saw that he only had frequent bows left, so he continued:

Today, my nephew thinks that Confucianism has three advantages and two disadvantages. The first benefit is to put forward the "three rules" of 'rule by propriety,' 'rule by virtue,' and 'rule by benevolence,' the second benefit is to put forward the idea of 'active accession to the WTO,' and the third benefit is to put forward the "harmony" between people, between people and society, and between man and nature; no matter whether it is "royal road" or "hegemony," harmony is the fundamental way for all things to coexist. ”

But Confucianism has two more disadvantages. The biggest drawback is 'pedantic'. The second disadvantage is that 'emphasizing morality over law'. ”

Hongyi did not elaborate on the specific content of these two evils, but he immediately captured Yue Le's heart. Yes, "pedantic" is nothing greater than excluding Manchuria from China, shouting all day long about what to drive out the Tartars, who are the Tartars? During the Song and Jin dynasties, they were arguing over who was "China", but they were all conquered by the Mongols. The Ming and Qing dynasties alternated, and Manchu and Mongolia became Chinese again. This Tartar really needs to be discerned.

"Could it be that today's Confucianism is the original meaning of Confucius? The nephew thought otherwise, after all, under Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Cheng Zhu Lixue, and then Lu Wang Xinxue, this Confucian doctrine has never been developed and changed for a day, but the disciples of Confucius blindly said that their doctrine has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and all people are required to be conservative and not transgressed! In the long run, China will be isolated from Shijie, and the China of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of the Manchu and Han ethnic groups, will be subject to the scourge of the Western Yi and become the bag of the Western vassals! Hongyi said zuihou very sadly and sighed.

"Why those wild and unopened Western vassals?" Yue Le hurriedly asked, especially saying that the biggest threat was not the overcrowding of the Han people, but the pedantry of the Han people's knowledge and the threat of coming from the West.

"The fourth uncle doesn't know that although the Western feudal domains are barbaric, that was an old thing a hundred years ago. As early as the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Westerners began to make great efforts to govern the country, and today, with their excellent skills in the manufacture of sea ships and firearms, they have traded extensively on the sea routes, seized a huge amount of profits, and even increased their national strength, embarking on a bloody road of tyranny. If our Chinese continue to indulge in the old dream of self-supremacy for thousands of years, one day, the swords and guns of those Western madmen will be set up at our doorstep! Hongyi's words were accurate, just waiting for Yue Le to ask.

"What's the other? What do you mean by that? Could it be that the doctrine of the Han people is not as good as the KitKat of the foreigners? Please also teach me Lord Belle! Yue Le showed the same respect as he treated those Hanchen elders, and gave a Han salute to the baby in front of him.

Hongyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: KitKat? Isn't this the same mentality as the later Qianlong Jiaqing Dynasty's contempt for Western skills as "strange skills and obscenity[1]"? It seems that even the reformers are constrained by the limitations of history after all! It seems that I have to teach this most reliable aristocratic minister a good lesson in detail!

"The fourth uncle is polite, the nephew just talks about his thoughts, and he doesn't necessarily mean that they are all right." Hongyi hurriedly jumped down and said politely, pulled Yue Le into his seat again, and he took advantage of the situation to pace in the hall with his little hands behind his back and start talking......
