Chapter 70: Messing Around
Above the lobby of the governor's yamen, Xiao Yungui listened to Hong Yun'er's loud words, and then looked at Zuo Zongtang, whose face was uncertain, and his stomach was secretly funny. In fact, Hong Xiuquan's God is neither the God revered by Confucianism, nor the God as the foreigners say, most of the God in his eyes is born from the God of Western religion, which is very different from the God worshiped by the ancestors of ancient China, and at the same time very different from the God of Western religion.
There is a doctrine of the trinity of the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit in Christianity, thinking that the essence of God is unique, and its role is divided into three parts, that is, God is the only divine nature, is an infinite, unchanging, spiritual existence, and Hong Xiuquan believes that the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit are three gods, he believes that the Holy Father is the Heavenly Father Emperor God, and he also claims to be the second son of God, Jesus is the Heavenly Brother is the eldest son of God, he was sent by God to be the peace Allah of all the nations under heaven, and he also called Yang Xiuqing the Holy Spirit, and came to an anti-Trinity, This is a serious contradiction with Christian doctrine, and it is not the God that the ancient Chinese said, because I have never heard of a son of God in China named Jesus.
Hong Yuner seemed to expect that Zuo Zongtang didn't know much about the worship of God, so he took it out of context and distorted it, and then turned the spearhead around, focusing on the difference between ancient and modern Confucianism, and for a while really asked Zuo Zongtang, a Confucian celebrity.
I saw that she continued to open her mouth, without waiting for Zuo Zongtang to think about it, and said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was strife, the world was decadent, the etiquette collapsed, and the Confucian study synthesized the essence of three generations, and founded the Confucian doctrine with benevolence as the core. After Qin ruled the world, he burned books and pit Confucianism, and ruled the world with legalism. Han took Qin and replaced, Emperor Wu period, Dong Zhongshu combined personnel politics with the operation of heaven, founded the science of heaven and man induction, put forward the monarch's power and body divine grant, three outlines and five constants, and then deposed the hundred schools of thought, and respected Confucianism alone, so that Confucianism benefited a lot from the interpretation of scriptures and exegesis, and the orthodox status of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was established, which can be called the establishment of Confucianism and Sinology. ”
Zuo Zongtang's thinking was still a little confused, and he didn't know what Hong Yun'er had suddenly said about the experience of Confucianism, so he had to respond casually: "Yes, Confucianism flourished in the Han Dynasty. ”
Hong Yun'er smiled and continued: "In the Wei and Jin dynasties after the Han Dynasty, Confucianism declined, and metaphysics (that is, the analysis of the three classics of Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Zhouyi) rose. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Dynasty, Buddhism and Xuan converged, making the Buddhist sect gradually flourish. Buddhism and Taoism were still flourishing during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and during this period, many foreign sects were introduced to China, such as Nestorianism, Manichaeism, and Yuanjiao. The gradual revival of Confucianism was in the Song Dynasty, and in the early Northern Song Dynasty, Sun Fu, Shi Jie, Hu Ying and others re-annotated the "Spring and Autumn Period", "Yi" and "Li". During the Xining reform, in order to strive for political dominance and Confucian orthodoxy, the old and new parties respectively wrote and said that Wang Anshi of the new party founded the Jinggong New School as the basis for the reform, while the old party took Sima Guang and his Shuoxue party members as the core, and put the Yuanyou academic school that opposed the reform. ”
After Sima Guang, the old party was divided into the Shuxue party headed by Su Shi and the Luoxue party headed by Cheng Yi. The latter emphasizes the distinction between Confucianism and righteousness, and wants to establish a road for the world, which is also aimed at the world. With the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty, the Luoxue line of the Cheng family gradually flourished, and Zhu Xi, the fourth-generation disciple of Chengmen, collected the culmination of pre-learning, re-established the Taoist system, and formed a complete theoretical system of science. Zhu Xi wrote abundantly, thought carefully, and the master's learning was based on self-knowledge, and later generations called him and the Cheng brothers Cheng Zhu Lixue. Hong Yun'er continued to talk endlessly, Xiao Yungui listened to it boringly, a pair of eyes couldn't help but look at Hong Yun'er's charming face and Jiaona's posture, and from time to time looked at Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing, so that she wouldn't fall asleep, her mind was full of despicable and dirty ideas, and she secretly planned how to kill three birds with one stone. …,
Hong Yun'er didn't notice Xiao Yungui's ill-intentioned intentions at all, and Zuo Zongtang was also fascinated, so he continued: "Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism has changed greatly, and after Jiajing, the folk industry has developed and flourished, and the free atmosphere of private school academies and lectures, the prevalence of private historical practice, etc., have allowed Confucianism to flourish, and also shaken the words of the original official family. For example, Chen Xianzhang advocates self-satisfaction, believing that Cheng Zhu's science is a fragmented study, which should be washed with a long wind and swept with a big wave; Wang Yangming constructed the theory of mind, and there are more wonderful words for conscience, knowledge and action, these doubts (science) confuse the ancients, and the idea of aiming at the present world was highly respected among the scholars at that time. At this time, Confucianism has also changed and renewed, and the grand occasion of many schools of thought is to change and save the evils, and it is still used by the world, and there is still a legacy of Confucianism. ”
Zuo Zongtang heard that this was already faintly wrong, and sure enough, Hong Yun'er continued to say nonsense: "After the Manchus entered the Central Plains, although they respected Confucianism and won the hearts of the people, they were all in order to maintain the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the government and government. The style of study that has been applied to the world has gradually disappeared in the Qing Dynasty. The "Holy Teachings" promulgated by the Qing Demon Kangxi and the "Holy Teachings" promulgated by Yongzheng are Confucian ethics to regulate morality, but the sinister intention of the Qing Demon is to immerse and control the thoughts of our Han scholars in the name of reason. In the Guanqing Dynasty, many imperial compilations and commentaries on the scriptures are not known, such as the "Book of Filial Piety" in the Shunzhi period; "Zhou Yi Compromise" and "Interpretation of the Four Books of Daily Lectures" during the Kangxi period; "Notes on the Book of Filial Piety" in the Yongzheng period; During the Qianlong period, "Spring and Autumn Straight Explanation" and "Zhou Yi Shuyi", etc., the Qing demon selected Cheng Zhu Lixue to praise loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and any doubt like Ming Confucianism would be regarded as a dangerous move to deviate from the scriptures. The famous ministers of science who were advocated by the Qing demon as Cheng Zhu Daotong (that is, the representative figures of Song studies in the early Qing Dynasty), such as Li Guangdi, Wei Yijie, Xiong Cixu, Tang Bin, Zhang Boxing, etc., are just the royal interpreters, and what the Qing demon wants is only the enslavement words that imprison people's hearts within Confucianism, and the Confucian suspicion of the ancients, and the use of ancient relics by the world, I think this is deeper than my Taiping smashed a few Confucian temples, and the legacy is deeper! ”
Zuo Zongtang heard that his forehead was already full of sweat here, but Hong Yun'er did not let him go at all, and continued with a river: "The Confucian Sinology of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu demons want to enslave the Han people in the world, on the surface, they respect Confucianism and Taoism, but secretly they use their power to suppress and elevate Zhu Lixue to imprison people's hearts, so that the people of the world lose their own hearts and cannot make further progress on the theory of their predecessors. Mr. Zuo's contemporary Confucianists should also know that they are admitted to the Shikou Eight Shares, but why is it that with Mr. Zuo's high talent, he can't get eight shares of Wennei High School? Actually, sir, in your heart, you look down on the eight shares, right? The little woman looks at the book of the Qing Dynasty, often sighs that there is a Qing generation, most of them are described but there is nothing, today's Confucian students are under the authority of the Qing demons, they only know how to read the books of sages, paraphrase and quote but do not know to inherit and carry forward, if they are allowed to let the Manchu demons go down, Confucianism is only afraid of extinction. Mr. Famous Teacher, you should know that the words of the little woman are not groundless and vain, and you can know by comparing the records of the sages in each of them! The little woman is talking nonsense, I don't know if she can get into the ears of the gentleman? If it is insulting to listen to it, the little girl has not said it. ”
Hong Yun'er said it like a cannon, and she really had the style of fighting a group of men in the inter-school debate back then, Xiao Yungui was really afraid that she would say when she heard Zuihou: "The above is our point of view." ”
Looking at Zuo Zongtang's blue and white face, Xiao Yungui couldn't help laughing, even if he was a contemporary Confucian celebrity, he would probably be speechless when he encountered a terrifying mouthpiece specially trained by an exam-oriented education machine like Hong Yun'er. It was only at this time that Xiao Yungui vaguely remembered that in the inter-school debate competition that Hong Yuner participated in in the past, the debate topic seemed to be about Confucianism, and Zuihou was the best debater in the audience. At this moment, Xiao Yungui also sympathized with Zuo Zongtang, after all, he did not live in the era of information explosion in later generations, but Hong Yun'er could stand on the shoulders of giants and famous craftsmen in the past dynasties and look at Shijie, she has a good memory, and after discussing it, Zuo Zongtang almost ruined his three views. …,
Hong Yun'er smiled faintly and sat back in her seat, took a big sip of tea, and said so many words just now, her mouth was really dry. She also understood that she couldn't entangle herself with Zuo Zongtang in the discourse of worshipping God, and sooner or later Zuo Zongtang would notice that something was wrong, so she simply put aside the worship of God and only attacked the shortcomings of Confucianism in the Qing Dynasty, so as to make Zuo Zongtang feel that the Manchu Qing Dynasty did more harm to Confucianism than the Taiping army smashed the Confucian Temple, and kept silent about the Taiping Army's anti-Confucianism, anyway, Zuo Zongtang didn't know the situation yet, and sure enough, Zuo Zongtang couldn't speak for a long time after listening to it.
On the side, Yang Dongqing asked Li Xuanji in a low voice: "Sister Xuanji, why can't I understand a word of what Xi Wangniang said?" ”
Li Xuanji also frowned slightly, and was still immersed in the ideological storm brought by Hong Yun'er and didn't come back to her senses, and when she heard Yang Dongqing's words, she sighed softly and replied in a low voice: "What Xi Wang Niang said is a very profound truth, and I don't understand something. ”
Xiao Yungui struck while the iron was hot, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo, my wife's words are very right, my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is just going to set things right, drive away the Qing Demon, return my mountains and rivers, and restore the original face of Confucianism, Mr. If you don't help me at this time, do you want to help the Qing Demon slowly destroy my thousand-year-old Confucian literature?!" ”
Another big hat pressed down, Zuo Zongtang couldn't hold his breath anymore, he stood up tremblingly, his mind tumbled and thought of a lot of things, he remembered that since he was a child, he studied hard in the cold window in the hope that one day he would be able to show his strengths and serve the court, at this moment his mind was extremely confused, it seemed that what Hong Yun'er said was very reasonable, but after all, the Tao thought he had upheld in his heart for decades, and the two thoughts clashed, and he opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak, and after a while, he said deeply to Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er: "King Xi, Xi Wang Niang can think of what people dare not think, I really admire it, but I have been reading the book of sages for decades, and when I hear this today, my thoughts are chaotic, so how about thinking about it for a few days and then replying? ”
Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled, Zuo Zongtang was no longer easy to refuse, and said slowly: "It's so good, come here, arrange a room for Mr. Zuo to live in temporarily, and if you need anything, just allocate it." ”
Looking at Zuo Zongtang walking down the hall with a pale face, Hong Yun'er asked with some worry: "Did I say too much?" ”
Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "What a person used to think was right suddenly became wrong one day, of course his thoughts will be confused, let him think slowly, let's strike while the iron is hot and cook the raw rice into rice!" ”
Hong Yun'er's face was slightly red and she said angrily: "Speaking of serious things, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Xiao Yungui held back a smile and said, "I mean to send someone to pick up Zuo Zongtang's family immediately, where do you want to go?" Then he leaned in front of Hong Yun'er and whispered, "Yun'er, you wouldn't have thought of that incident, would you?" ”
Hong Yun'er's pretty face was hot, and she said: "You go and pick up his family yourself, the old lady doesn't wait!" With that, he turned around and ran back to the inner hall, and Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing hurriedly followed.
Xiao Yungui hummed a little song triumphantly, and muttered in his heart: "Hehe, none of you can run out of my palm." ”
