Chapter Seventy-Nine—On the Old Talk

Under the gaze of all the readers, the "bones" of the innocent teacup were scattered all over the ground. This sudden change also frightened all the "knowledgeable" readers, only Xiao Xuanye, who was not yet an adult, was calm.

"Mr. Guanruo[1], you ...... Why are you? Among the crowd, only Zhu Zhixi and Tan Qian were old acquaintances, so they asked each other with some annoyance. You must know that it is natural for a literati to be arrogant, but when you are a guest at someone else's house, in front of the host's most honored guest, you actually "deliberately" break the teacup, which is really a very reckless and rude performance.

"Master Zhu, don't make it difficult to talk about the old man!" Once again, Hongyi stopped it in time. After saying that, he took a few steps forward, and actually bent down and began to pick up the debris on the ground himself!

"Lord Belle! Lord Belle! Several ministers, scholars, as well as the accompanying eunuch Liang Gong and the guard Mara, all rushed over to take over. Hongyi said very resolutely:

"Stand down!"

waited until everyone stood aside in great embarrassment before continuing: "Mr. Ji, why don't you hurry up and order your subordinates to make a new cup of tea?" It was Xuan Ye's voice just now, which disturbed Yaxing, who was talking about the old gentleman's reading! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ji Kaisheng was busy and personally ran to the side to serve a cup of hot tea again, and was just about to send it over, but was picked up by Hongyi again.

"Talk about the old man, please use tea." After putting the teacup down steadily, Hongyi actually bowed down again and said:

"Daqing Dorobele, the second son of the emperor, Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, meet the old gentleman!"

Finally, Tan Qian couldn't sit still anymore, reluctantly stood up, supported the figure of the little Xuanye, and then took a step back, hesitated for a moment, sighed lightly, and finally bowed:

"The grass people talk about moving, meet the prince!"

It turned out that Tan Qian's self-styled so-called "Jiangzuo remnants", since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, has always been obsessed with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, to put it bluntly, there is still a strong "Huayi does not stand together" complex. And this kind of hostility is often deeply rooted in the superiority of the advanced culture of the Han nation. In the eyes of these "remnants", the Manchurians are nothing more than barbarians who drink blood, and they will not understand the so-called Confucian core ideas of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, and forgiveness" in China.

But Hongyi surprised his previous judgment.

As soon as he entered the door just now, Tan Qian had already recognized that this young child dressed in a golden prince costume was Lord Belle, who rescued him in Luoma City the day before yesterday. But he didn't pay attention to it, because his "integrity" as a remnant of the previous dynasty was still there.

But what's even more amazing is Hongyi! He actually wore court clothes, gave Han salutes to himself, and called himself "the ...... of the Great Qing Dynasty". How so? Tan Qian naturally understands that this prince gives himself a national gift, that is to say, the princes of the Great Qing Kingdom all give you a salute to the old one, and you should respect an "old Confucian student" like you as a state guest!

There is also the second - Hongyi called it "Sima of the world", which is particularly regrettable. Sima Zhe, the first to recommend Ma Qian of Taishi Company, is the idol of all historians, so that Tan Qian can't help but be "very useful".

Another layer of meaning makes Tan Qian "moved". You must know that Shi Kefa, the "anti-Qing celebrity" [2], after the establishment of the Hongguang regime [3], the official residence of the military department was the secretary, and the ancient name was "Da Sima"! Even Dolgon, in his letter of persuasion to Shi Kefa, used the word "Sima" to refer to Shi Kefa. Hongyi said this, which means that the "semi-official" must talk about the integrity of moving as a "remnant"!

Hongyi called him so, which can be described as well-intentioned, and he is not afraid of the court criticizing him. After all, Emperor Qianlong a hundred and ten years later, he has erected a monument to the ancestral hall of Shi Kefa, and now the Shunzhi Emperor is also the master who admires sinicization!

Therefore, I never thought that I would have this kind of treatment, and I was surprised to miss and "drop" the teacup, but it was by no means rude "falling".

And when everyone thought that the old "remnants" were "playing temper and playing prestige", what was commendable was that Xuanye, a two-year-old young man, actually noticed Tan Qian's true thoughts, so he served tea again and again, reported to his home again, and "met" Mr. Tan.

Hongyi did not let Tan Qian, who was already in his sixties, really bow down, but made a timely move, intercepted him halfway, and helped him up to sit back on the main seat.

Tan Qian was a little polite this time, and humbly conceded: "The prince still sits down, right?" ”

"Hehe, talking about the old gentleman's high morality and talent, Xuan Ye is young and ignorant, how dare he be speechless in front of Mr.? Or are you old and sitting! Hongyi insisted that he would not accept it, and he sat down again after talking about the move.

Hongyi took the rest of the group of cultural people and sat down one by one in order. Ji Kaisheng had already given a look, Ji Fu, the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion, and Lili Suosuo beckoned the maids to serve tea to the distinguished guests, looking very warm and thoughtful.

Hongyi took a sip of tea, silently watched the maid silently finish cleaning up the pieces of tea set on the ground, and then said with great concern:

"Mr. Tan, a few days ago, you were made miserable by evil slaves in the Luoma City, but Xuan Ye, as a prince, didn't stop you in time, so I really can't stand you. I wonder how well you have been recuperating in Master Ji's Mansion these days? Is there anything wrong with your body? If you still feel unwell, Xuan Ye will send someone to ask the imperial doctor to come and treat you! ”

"Hehe, the old man has a miserable life, and in his twilight years, how can he bother the noble son of the Qing family? The body is like chaff, those young descendants don't learn Confucian knowledge, and are willing to commit themselves to being slaves, so they naturally don't understand the rules of etiquette, and the old man doesn't blame them. Tan Qian also put down the teacup on the side of his mouth, but he didn't look at Hongyi, and said lightly to himself.

Zhu Zhixi, Ji Kaisheng, and even Yang Yongjian and Min Xu on the side, their faces were a little gloomy. In these few sentences just now, one is to call the royal family the Qing family, the second is to call the prince a noble son, and the third is to use Sun Gouzi's evil deeds to imply that the Manchus do not understand Confucian knowledge and etiquette, to put it bluntly, they still don't look down on the Manchus and don't regard the Qing Emperor as a genuine imperial family carried by Fengtian!

In this way, Xuan Ye was very ashamed. It has been two years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it is not long to say that it is long, and it is not short to say that it is short. But to this day, it is really ashamed that there will be ugly things of evil slaves committing murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven. However, Mr. Tan is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, how was such an incident dealt with during the Ming Dynasty? Hongyi asked modestly with an embarrassed look.

"Hehe, the old man knows a little bit about it, this Ming Dynasty, for such a ruffian who does evil deeds at the feet of the Son of Heaven, that's ......" Tan Qian was modest, and was about to start talking about his own knowledge, but suddenly stopped, opened his mouth and said nothing, looking at the air and distracted. With him, everyone was also pretending to be listening, and Qi Qiton was there......

"Alas, that's it, the old man knows, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, there are always evil slaves who commit murder, besides, before the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, there were no fewer evil slaves than now, I'm afraid there are still a lot more!" Half a day later, Tan Qian sighed heavily and said with a red face.

Hongyi secretly said to himself: Haha, in this first round, at least I took the lead. Now, Lord Ben Belle will sit down with you, the "old talker", and talk about it!

It turned out that Hongyi was asking for advice on the surface, but in fact, he used ironclad facts to tell Tan Qian that it was too far-fetched to conclude that the Qing Dynasty did not practice Confucianism and did not understand etiquette just by relying on a few vicious slaves! There are bad people in every dynasty, and there are great Confucians in every dynasty!

In the admiring eyes of everyone, Hongyi hugged his fists and asked:

"Talk about Mr. Lao, for thousands of years in China, what dynasty and what dynasty will be eternal?"

"Hehe, where is there a vein for eternity? Qin only died in the second generation, and even the Great Zhou, that is, the twenty-fifth dynasty and the thirty-seventh son of heaven, eight hundred years passed. ”

"Why is it that the dynasties have only changed for hundreds of years?"

"From providence, bear luck."

"The Ming Dynasty won the world in the Yuan, but 'from the will of heaven and the luck of the fortune'?"

"Exactly!"

"The entry of the Qing Dynasty into the customs, is it 'from the will of heaven and luck'?" With Hongyi's question, everyone looked nervous.

"Hehe, Chinese orthodoxy, not in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Hanming!" Talking about relocation is awe-inspiring.

"If the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not enter the customs, how will the so-called 'Han Ming' be lucky in the period of the Apocalypse[4] and thereafter?" Hongyi didn't show any anger, and once again clenched his fists and saluted, and asked modestly.

"This ......" Tan Qian once again commanded everyone to freeze the scene.

Hongyi knew that Tan Qian gave up the scientific expedition earlier and turned to devote himself to history, which was in the first year of tomorrow's Qi. The direct motivation for the revision of history was dissatisfaction with the compilation and revision of contemporary history in the late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although his "National Legend" runs through the Ming Dynasty, it focuses on the Apocalypse period and more than 20 years after that. During the Apocalypse, it was the period of Wei Zhongxian's chaotic government, the government was chaotic, and the people were struggling to make a living. Therefore, it is very clear to talk about the internal and external troubles of the late Ming Dynasty, the interference of eunuchs in politics, and the withering of people's livelihood and the decline of the day.

"The overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, at first stage, is a thief and a rebellion; Re-examination, in fact, the will of heaven is lost, the luck is broken, and the people are abandoned, even if Chongzhen tries his best, he is just terminally ill. The entry of the Qing Dynasty into the customs was not to kill the Ming Dynasty and steal the society, but to get rid of the thieves and do great righteousness. When Hongyi said this, he stared at Tan Qian, without any intention of evading.

"But after the chaos, the Qing soldiers can still retreat outside the pass and welcome back the Ming Lord!" Tan Qian was a little annoyed.

"Retreat to the outside of the country? Welcome back to the Lord? Haha, Mr. Tan, this is really decisive! Hongyi was hearty daxiao, and he scared several cultural people who followed him into a cold sweat!

"If the Qing army retreats, Shenzhou is 90,000 miles, where is the Ming army? Isn't that to give up this great river and mountain to the thieves and thieves? If that time comes, will the Chinese territory have to return to the south of the Great Wall? Do you want to give up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and close yourself in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River? Take 10,000 steps back and say, the Qing Dynasty can do without the world, but all the people in the world need the Qing Dynasty! As a protégé of Confucius, Mr. Tan can't bear to let the people of Li people poison the water and fire for the sake of the authentic name of China? ”

"This ......" Tan Qian was once again speechless.

"Xuan Ye visited Mr. today, just for learning, so he knows everything and says everything, and I hope that Mr. Haihan. In Xuan Ye's view, the five thousand years of life in China are not because of the wisdom and martial arts of one family, but because the people of Shenzhou are constantly striving for self-improvement. Zhou enjoyed Guozuo for 800 years, but Zuihou gave way to Qin because of the collapse of etiquette; Qin unified China, but because of the violent destruction of heavenly things, dishonesty and immorality, the second ended. The prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties, how magnificent, but in the end, it was the dictatorship of foreign relatives and the dictatorship of internal officials, and it was not also returned to dust? The Ming Dynasty is prosperous, but Zuihou can't escape the tragic luck of digging his own grave! Sir, is Xuan Ye fallacious? Hongyi asked deliberately.

"What the prince said is not ...... Not bad! As a historian, Tan Qian finally abandoned those face-saving clichés in the face of history and recognized the inevitable laws of all dynasties.

"But, you can guarantee that the Qing room can last forever?" Tan Qian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked sonorously.

"Talk about the old!" Zhu Zhixi shouted loudly, and Ji Kaisheng and Min Xu also stood up immediately. Yang Yongjian hesitated for a moment, but finally cooperated with the big guy to stand up and have a strong voice. That's because the question of talking about migration is also repeated in his heart.

"Hehe, Master Zhu doesn't have to be like this. Xuan Ye also had this question! ”

"Huh? ...... "All cultural people are stupid on the spot.

"Yes, this has been the case in all dynasties, and there has never been an imperial family that can do it for all generations!" Hongyi said firmly.

Historically, Emperor Qianlong once appointed the "Twenty-five Treasures of the Qing Dynasty [5]", Weishenme is the Twenty-five Treasures? There is an important reason, Qianlong believes that throughout the dynasties, there is no eternal prosperity, there is a Qing generation, if it can be like the Great Zhou, inheritance of 25 generations, even if it is due to heaven! Hongyi has read similar materials, and he has long felt the same way.

Seeing that Tan Qian didn't mean to speak, Hongyi knew that he wanted to listen to his "opinions", so Zhengse said:

"Since ancient times, no imperial family in China can be in the same vein for all generations, but the Chinese people can be passed on from generation to generation! Those who identify with the Central Plains civilization, inherit the Chinese language, and uphold Chinese etiquette are all Chinese nation! In ancient times, there were hundreds of ethnic groups, which were yellow and tended to be unified; The Western Zhou Dynasty is cautious, my ancestor of Manchuria, and a member of China. Even the Mongolian people, who were on guard day and night in the Ming Dynasty, are now vassals of the Qing Dynasty and have long been integrated into the unification of China. In the next few hundred years, if the Chinese people can love both [6], the Chinese nation will become a master! ”

"If the Chinese nation can be sustained for all generations, then within the universe, only then can Confucian sacred learning be broadcast all over the world, and only then can Chinese civilization be dominant! At that time, the Manchu Han Mengwu (Wusizang, now Tibet) and Huizhuang Miaowei had different provenances, but they were all members of China, just like brothers and sisters, with different lengths, but they originated from the same lineage! The foundation of this vein is in this ancient Chinese land! At that time, China was the real China! ”

"Mr. Yanshi, the deep meaning of this must not be overlooked!"

[1] Talking about the relocation of the number "Guanruo".

[2] Shi Kefa (1601~1645), a politician and military commander in the late Ming Dynasty. The word Xianzhi, also the word Daolin, Han nationality, Xiangfu people (now Kaifeng, Henan), ancestral home of Daxing County, Shuntianfu (now Beijing), the 49th descendant of Hou Shi Chong of Liyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his teacher is Zuo Guangdou. Ming Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Dongge University Scholar, was captured for resisting the Qing Dynasty, died unyieldingly, and was a famous anti-Qing general in China. The Southern Ming Dynasty was loyal to Jing. Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty pursued loyalty. His descendants accepted his works and compiled them as "Shi Zhongzheng's Public Collection".

[3] The Hongguang regime was the first regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The Southern Ming Dynasty was a continuation of the Ming Dynasty. In 1644 A.D., Li Zicheng's peasant army broke through Beijing, and Zhu Youzhen of Ming Yizong hanged himself in the coal mountain, and died in the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Qing army entered the Central Plains, and the Ming dynasty successively established a regime in the south to resist the Manchu Qing. Including the Hongguang regime, the Longwu regime, the Lu Wangjian state, the Shaowu regime and the Yongli regime, a total of 18 years. In 1661 (the fifteenth year of Yongli), Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Burma, asking for Emperor Yongli, the king of Burma handed over Yongli to the Qing army in December, and in April of the following year, Emperor Yongli and his son were executed by Wu Sangui in Kunming. After that, the Zheng regime continued to worship Yongli as Zhengshuo. In 1683, Zheng Kexuan, the king of Yanping County, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army occupied Taiwan, and Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, committed suicide and martyrdom, marking the fall of a regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Hongyi believes that all the regimes of the Southern Ming Dynasty cannot be completely regarded as regimes in exile. The so-called Nan of the Southern Ming Dynasty was added by historians, just as the Nan of the Southern Song Dynasty was also added by historians. These regimes were established on the territory of the original Ming Dynasty, but in fact did not meet the definition of a regime in exile, and it can only be said that the northern territory of the original Ming Dynasty was included in the scope of the Qing Dynasty, and was forced to move the capital and rebuild the regime. Just like the Song Dynasty, which lost its northern territories and was forced to move its capital, still called itself Song and the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and did not call the Southern Song Dynasty government a government-in-exile because of the relocation of the capital. Therefore, it is not strictly correct to call all the Nanming regimes a regime in exile. As for the Southern Ming Emperor after he was forced to flee to Burma, he met the definition of a regime in exile.

[4] The Apocalypse is the era name of Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Xi Sect (1621-1627). Emperor Zhu Youxiao (1605-1627), the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of Zhu Changluo of Ming Guangzong, reigned for only 29 days due to the "Red Pill Case" and died violently. Because his father was not favored by his grandfather Mingshenzong, he was also neglected since he was a child. Less culture, good carpentry skills, known as the carpenter emperor. Before his death, Shenzong left a will and made him the emperor's grandson. He ascended the throne at the age of 16, and after ascending the throne, the threat of Houjin became increasingly serious, the internal eunuchs interfered in politics more and more intensely, and the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty withered and declined. Later, due to an accidental fall into the water, he died in 1627 due to taking "immortal medicine", at the age of 23, and the fifth brother Zhu Youzhen was appointed as the emperor, that is, the later Ming Sizong. The temple name is Xizong, and the name is Datian, and the Taoist filial piety is a friend of Zhangwen, Xiangwu, Jingmu, Zhuang, and the emperor is buried in the Tomb of the Thirteen Tombs.

[5] The 25 Treasures of the Qing Dynasty is the general name of the 25 imperial national treasures designated by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to represent the state power. These 25 imperial treasures are: the treasure of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor's relatives, the treasure of the emperor's relatives, the treasure of the emperor's line, the treasure of the emperor's letter, the treasure of the son of heaven, the treasure of the Son of Heaven, the treasure of respecting the heavens and the people, the treasure of the edict, the treasure of the edict, the treasure of the training, the treasure of the virtue, the seal of the Qinwen, the treasure of the seal of the scriptures and history, the treasure of patrolling the world, the treasure of retribution and peace of the people, the treasure of the six divisions, the treasure of the nation, the treasure of the people, and the treasure of Guangyun. The rearranged Twenty-five Treasures were each useful and gathered together to represent all aspects of the Emperor's exercise of the supreme power of the state. Twenty-five treasure seals are the Qianlong Emperor according to the Zhou Dynasty is the dynasty with the largest number of emperors in history, a total of 25 generations, and the Qianlong Emperor also wants his dynasty to be as glorious as the Zhou Dynasty for a long time, which is the surface meaning.

[6] "Simultaneous love" is the main ideological point of the Mohist school. Other ideas such as non-attack, thrift, funeral, and non-fun are also derived from this. If you love it, you must not attack, and if you don't attack, you must oppose attacking the war, that is, "the big does not attack the small, the strong do not insult the weak, the many do not steal the widows, the deceit does not deceive the foolish, the noble is not arrogant and cheap, the rich are not arrogant and the poor, and the strong do not take away the old." It is the country of the world, and it is not necessary to harm each other with water, fire, poison and blades." Of course, non-offensive is not the same as non-war, but it is opposed to wars of aggression and attaches great importance to wars of self-defense. Self-defense is an important component of counter-aggression, and failure to defend oneself is tantamount to non-aggression. Love is both love and mutual benefit between countries, and love and mutual benefit between people. Only love can be non-offensive, and only non-offensive can ensure both love.
