Chapter 155 - Chongman does not suppress Han

Fu Lin, who was scratching his head and regretting his impulse to "admire Hanchen" in the past few days, accidentally heard that his youngest son said that the serious differences between the Manchu ministers were still saved, and he was simply overjoyed, and hurriedly asked:

"How to fix it?"

"To each according to his wishes, as one appointed." Hongyi's words are concise and to the point, and he hangs his appetite.

"Tell me more." Fulin really got interested.

"Huh!" Hongyi got what he wanted and wanted to play back to the emperor, but he slowly turned around, making it clear that he wanted to "mission" the "adults" under it.

"Jiang Ziya once said to King Wen of Zhou: 'The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. Those who benefit from the world will gain the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world'. Mencius also said: 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.' Therefore, the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, and the princes are the doctors. The princes are in danger, and they are replaced. Faced with a pro-Han Muhan emperor and the following five Han ministers who were "learned and excelled", Hongyi decided to start with a big argument.

"Well, Xuan Ye is practicing well! The Book of Rites. "Rites and Fortunes" also contains: "The journey of the avenue, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the cultivation of faith and harmony." That's what I said. Sure enough, Fu Lin understood, and even the Hanchen below also understood, and they all cast admiring and approving glances at the little prince.

In fact, these few "wise sayings" are the housekeeping skills of a group of Hanchens, no matter how they comprehend, they must also be hard work that comes from opening their mouths. But since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Hanchen has no idea how to protect himself, and how many of them will risk losing their heads to talk about this truth with their Manchurian relatives?

"Emperor Ama Shengming! The sentence 'selecting talents and abilities, stressing faith and cultivating harmony' shows the root and essence of it! Erchen thought. Within the universe, there are nothing more than 'heaven, king, and people'. Hongyi praised the reborn father Fulin, and quickly turned to the topic.

"Heaven is a supreme being that human beings cannot resist, and it has self-evident sacredness, supremacy, legitimacy and reasonableness. Heaven gives birth to all things, and all things are born by nature, and they also follow the desires of the people and represent the will of the people; The king is the Son of Heaven, the supreme ruler of all the peoples, but he is appointed by Heaven, governs the people on behalf of Heaven, obeys the will of Heaven, and serves Heaven with his son. The Son of Heaven is also the people, that is, the parents of the common people. Lord of the peoples. The people should serve the king with their sons, be the people of the Son of Heaven, and be loyal to the king. According to the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, between heaven and kings and people. It is the people from the king, the king from the sky, and the sky from the people. These three reincarnations. Therefore, the world is harmonious and endless. ”

Hongyi was happy to see. Not only did the emperor agree, but the Manchu ministers were a bit of "learned" people, such as Tuhai, Zhekune, etc. It is also a frequent bow.

"When a Ming monarch rules the world, he must have heavenly principles, rejuvenate the country's laws, and conform to the people's feelings. The preservation of heavenly principles is to manifest the way of heaven and the principle of heaven; To rejuvenate the country, it is necessary to repair the law of the king and make all the people obey it; Conform to the people's feelings, that is, conform to the people's will and conform to the people's will......"

"Lord Belle, what does this have to do with the arrogant paradox of Orikoune?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Engde finally couldn't hold back and actually interrupted Hongyi's explanation. As soon as the little prince wanted to solve the "contradiction" between him and Zhekune, Enged pricked up his ears and entered the error correction mode, but after listening to it for a long time, it seemed that he was not next to each other, so he finally lost his patience.

"Hehe, Lord En is so anxious, Xuan Ye is about to get to the point, you listen patiently first-" Hongyi was not annoyed, and continued with a smile:

"Heavenly principles, national law, and people's feelings, all three are indispensable, so that heaven and man can be one. As the saying goes, 'whatever the people want, the heavens will follow.'" Therefore, the heart of heaven originally came from the heart of the people, the will of heaven is the will of the people, the love of heaven is the love of the people, and the reason of heaven is the reason of the people. Heaven is not above men, nor outside men, but among all peoples. Heaven is supreme and close to the people; Heaven is sacred, and it understands the feelings of the people and understands human nature. In this way, the supreme heaven descended to the people, and the mysterious and unpredictable heavenly principles are actually the feelings and hearts of the people. The Ming and Qing dynasties replaced, which is exactly this truth! "Saying that he was not in a hurry, Hongyi still decided to say the most important argument first - the rise of the Qing Dynasty and the death of the Ming Dynasty is the principle of heaven. As soon as these words came out, Enged naturally settled down a lot.

"The Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty was ordered by heaven to represent the herdsmen of heaven, and it was precisely because he conformed to the will of heaven and the people, and the life of the four seas was peaceful, that the country was able to rule after the chaos, and the people of Li were able to recuperate. Within the principles of heaven, I have not heard of the so-called difference between Manchu and Han. All the people in the world, whether they are Manchurian and Han Hui, who can not respect the principles of heaven? The Han people emphasized the ceremony, and the ancients said: 'Fu Li, the meridian of the sky, the righteousness of the earth', 'Li, the upper and lower era, the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth', and 'Li, the body of heaven and earth.' All these things are the first heavenly principles. Since the rise of Manchuria, especially after our emperor Ama Dingding the Central Plains, inheriting the Ming system, in the final analysis, it is not to respect the politics of the former Ming, but to follow the etiquette of the former Ming, so now the sea is becoming more and more peaceful, and all the people have returned. In the ritual law, there is always a word 'and'. I am more important to the law of etiquette, how can there be a reason for discord? As long as the Qing Dynasty royal sons of heaven respect the ancestors of heaven and the herdsmen on behalf of the heavens, do not go against the principles of heaven and human feelings, and do not destroy the king's law and ritual system, even if the Han Chen is in a heavy position, how can he go against the sky? How can I shake the foundation of my great Qing Dynasty for the Heavenly Way? ”

Hongyi hastily ended this tirade and looked at the royal stairs with confidence.

"The ministers dare not disobey the principles of heaven, dare not disappoint the Son of Heaven, and dare not ignore the will of the people!" Sure enough, the Hanchen announced in unison, which was really a boost to the little royal backer they had just discovered!

Of course, the foundation of the unity of the Manchus and the Han Dynasty is naturally the first to worship Manchuria, but the worship of Manchu and not the Han is the right way to achieve long-term peace and stability and the world for the public. Selecting talents and abilities, stressing faith and cultivating harmony, should be the only way for me to flourish in the Qing Dynasty! Hongyi decisively used the classic that Fulin just said as a conclusion, in order to seek high-level recognition!

"Good! Have you heard the truth clearly? Fulin accepted it all.

"The minion (minister) heard clearly." Whether it is the Manchu or Han, especially the Manchu ministers, they can only accept it at this time.

"Good! Xuan Ye, you can then talk in detail about how to 'each according to his wishes and appoint as one'. "Fulin continued to preside over the Imperial Council, which was far more complicated and lengthy than expected.

"Huh! Emperor Ama, since I, Manchuria, know the glory of calling ourselves slaves, and Hanchen thinks that decency is a big matter, then it is better for each to do what he wantsβ€”from now on, it is expressly decreed that Hanchen 'forbid' calling himself a slave. This title is exclusive to the Manchurian and Mongolian families, to show the closeness of Manchu and Mongolia, and the alienation of Hanchen. In this way, it is natural to worship Manchuria! ”

"Okay, Shou Chong Manchuria can't change!" Fu Lin hurriedly added, which can be regarded as a comfort and commitment to Bahana and others, who are the "red belt" Jueluo.

"The so-called integrated appointment means that at the same time, it must also be stated that in the future, if it involves flag affairs and family affairs, Manmeng and Han can still call themselves slaves in the banner courtiers. However, all the ministers of the Manchu and Han dynasties inside and outside will perform official affairs, and they are all called 'ministers'. In this way, both Manchu and Han can only talk about official affairs. The bannerman surrendered himself. Fengban is on a mission, and Hanchen is one. In this way, it is another national policy of 'Manchu and Han integration'. ”

Hongyi blinked and looked at Fulin, and thanked his "grandson" Qianlong for his "outstanding contribution" in the case of "Horse Man and Dragon Called Slave" -

In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong (1773). Manchen Tianbao and Hanchen Horsemanlong. Together, they made a mistake about the fraud case in the science field. Because the name of Tianbao is in front, they are called "slave Tianbao, horse man dragon". Emperor Qianlong was greatly annoyed when he saw the folding. Reprimanded Ma Renlong for being a "minion". As a result, Emperor Qianlong made a stipulation: "All the ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasty inside and outside will perform official affairs, and they will all be called 'ministers'." The purpose of this regulation is to prevent Hanchen from being called a "slave", and for this reason, he would rather let the Manchu minister accommodate Hanchen and also call him a "minister".

Why did the Qing emperor make these regulations in the recital? Originally, the Manchu rulers had always insisted that the Han people be consistent with themselves. They forced the Han people to shave their hair, change their clothes, and make a bloody scene, all in order to naturalize the Han people and submit to them, but they refused to let the Han people be called "slaves" like themselves. What about this weishenme? There is a passage in Mr. Lu Xun's essay "Diaphragm" that actually answers this question. He said: "The Manchurians themselves strictly divide the master and slave, and the ministers must be called 'slaves' when they do things, while the Han people call them 'ministers'. This is not because it is the 'Yan Huang Zhi', specially preferential, and the tin has a good name, but in fact, it is different from the Manchu people's 'slaves', and its status is lower than the number of 'slaves'. ”

Hongyi put this method on the stage of history in advance, ostensibly to take care of the Manchu people's "supreme glory" as a slave, taking into account the Hanchen's "face psychology", but in fact, the long-term goal is to gradually resolve some of the "fur" level of title differences between the Manchus and Hans, and to do some paving work for the better integration of Chinese ethnic groups after their own pro-government in the future. But for the Manchurian Emperor Fulin, who was "devoted to Han" but had to safeguard the fundamental interests of the Manchurian aristocracy, this method was really practical and sophisticated!

"Haha, great idea!" Fu Lin Longyan Dayue, and turned to the five Hanchen "cordial" and asked:

"Do you Hanchen have any arguments for this?"

"No objection to the ministers!" Several Hanchen have a common word - you Manchuria are close to each other, and we Han people want to save face, although the starting point is different, it is rare that the goal is so consistent! You are complacent about being your "minions", and we secretly laugh at keeping our "human ministers", okay! It's really good!

"Well, Fu Xian, I still want to hear your thoughts." Fu Lin knew that his courtiers had different mentalities, and at this time, Li Jiqi, the first choice of the Han Shangshu of the Military Department, could be used as a weather vane for some of the stubborn former Ming relics.

"The minister is grateful for the kindness of the emperor and the second son." Li Jiqi's resentful eyes finally showed a little emotional excitement.

Hongyi's heart suddenly moved, and he didn't care about thinking about it, so he spoke before the emperor could speak.

"Master Li! Although Xuanye is Manchurian, although the adults are Han Chinese, the distinction between Yixia in China has been delayed for a long time, and I have also understood a thing or two from the masters. Today, I just want to say that the sincerity of Yixia is terrifying, and the people of China cannot be mistaken! In all dynasties, the world was ruled by the holy king, and the world was chaotic when the king was faint. Today, the rule of our emperor Ama Shengming is obvious to all, the Eight Banners of Manchuria swept away the thieves and sacrificed thieves and clarified the world, reused the Hanchen and greatly promoted the way of Confucius and Mencius. Although there are also some 'bad pools', but it is caused by the insistence of King Rui back then, and my emperor Ama has not yet been in power. If the policy of integrating Manchu and Han is carried out smoothly, it will take time...... In time, it will be a blessing to all the people of the world! There is only one way, Huaxia must not mess with itself! The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty has not returned to the will of heaven for a long time, and it really does not know the current affairs of heaven. Today, not to mention China, it is the Four Yi, and it has been watching the Celestial Empire for a long time. There are Rakshasa criminals in the north, Moxi in the west has not returned, there is Annan in the south, there are red-haired patrols in the southeast, and there are Japanese people in the northeast who covet them. ”

When Hongyi said this, he secretly apologized silently to Gu Yanwu [1], who was in prison in his hometown Songjiang Mansion at the moment-old man, I used your famous sentence "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband" first!

[1] Gu Yanwu (1613-1682), a native of Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture (now Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province) in the south of the Ming Dynasty, was a famous thinker, historian, and linguist, and was known as the three major Confucians of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties together with Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi. His real name is Jiang, and his name is Zhongqing; After the defeat of Nandu, because he admired the personality of Wen Tianxiang's student Wang Yanwu, he changed his name to Yanwu, the word Ningren, and also signed himself as Jiang Shan's maid, and the scholar respected him as Mr. Tinglin. When he was young, he was angry for the practical learning, and participated in the Kunshan Anti-Qing Righteous Army, roamed the north and south after the defeat, and had ten Ming tombs. He is very knowledgeable, and has studied the national system, the history of the county, the astronomical instruments, the river Cao, the soldiers and peasants, the hundred schools of scripture and history, and the study of phonological exegesis. In his later years, he re-examined the scriptures and opened up the Qing Dynasty's simple learning atmosphere. Its learning is based on erudition in literature, and it is mainly shameful to do it, and it is one of learning and practice, learning and the world. His poems are often sad and sentimental.
