Zuo Zongtang left with a deep thought, he needed to digest the mention of the humanistic spirit in Confucian culture, but he could not deny that if the development of the Taizhou school in the study of mind was not interrupted by the entry of the Manchu Dynasty, would it evolve the so-called humanistic spirit.

Xiao Yungui doesn't know this, in fact, Confucianism has been developing and improving since the day it was born, just as Confucius said: There must be my teacher in the threesome, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones.

Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er talked about the revival of the Han family, the simple struggle for ruling power does not seem to be the true essence of the revival of the Han family, and after being suppressed and imprisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, the servility and inferior nature of the Chinese people have become more and more perverse, and the castrated Confucianism has only left the traditional three outlines and five constants, only Confucianism that teaches people to be slaves, and only the imprisonment that suppresses academic development. Therefore, the revival of the Han family not only needs to regain the right to rule, but also needs to regain the right to control the spirit and break the invisible braid in the heart.

Hong Yun'er's spiritual rehabilitation chose Confucianism, she and Xiao Yungui came from later generations, she always believed that Confucianism was not as unbearable as later generations said, Confucianism is not all dross, on the contrary, Confucianism has unparalleled advantages in compatibility and inheritance and development. Confucianism from the creation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin Dynasty's book burning pit Confucianism, experienced a bleak time, and then the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism, so that Confucianism can be carried forward, Dong Zhongshu kneaded into the Taoism, Yin and Yang Five Elements of thought, is a great development and change for Confucianism. This was followed by another development in the Tang Dynasty, and the development of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty was even more jaw-dropping. The coexistence of the three religions, Confucianism as the foundation, can summarize the prosperity of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty in eight words. It was also in the true sense of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty that it was perfectly connected with the doctrinal care of Buddhism and Taoism and the national program of governing the world, so that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism formed a certain kind of continuous connection. This was followed by Zhu Cheng Lixue in the Song Dynasty, who put forward the science of rational qi and the knowledge of things, which was another reform of Confucianism.

Then there is the development of Wang Yangming's mind in the Ming Dynasty, this time it is a self-denial and cocoon rebirth after the development of Confucianism to a certain extent. It is also the most important metamorphosis. It is a pity that this qiē was broken by the ensuing entry of the Manchu Dynasty, and the obscurantist scientific rational Confucianism brought by Xu Guangqi and others was interrupted.

Therefore, Xiao Yungui agrees with Hong Yuner's approach. What they need to revive is not only the homeland of the Han family, but also the humanistic spirit of the Han family, and the renaissance of the Han family is another invisible battlefield without gunsmoke. The two came from later generations, and they faced modern people who were whipped at Confucianism at the slightest understanding. I also experienced the embarrassment of building Confucian schools in other countries due to the decline of Confucianism in my own country. Even the complete self-denial of China's 5,000-year-old civilization, they were once confused. Fortunately, they are studying liberal arts, they have read Confucian classics, and they have the guidance of famous teachers in China, especially Hong Yun'er knows what real Confucianism should look like.

"What are you thinking?" Hong Yun'er's questioning with laughter interrupted Xiao Yungui's thoughts, only to see Hong Yun'er wearing a loose brocade robe, Shi Shiran walked in, and brought a bowl of steaming ginseng chicken soup.

Xiao Yungui hurriedly stepped forward to take the soup bowl. Looking at Hong Yun'er's slightly bulging abdomen, she smiled and said, "I just told Zuo Zongtang about the concept of the Han Renaissance. I don't know if I made it clear, or if he understood. ”

Hong Yun'er was still supported by him to sit aside, and said with a smile: "Even if Mr. Zuo is only a high eight bucket, it will take time for him to change some deep-rooted thoughts, but to be honest, we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones." ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Lao Zuo is a little worried that engaging in this renaissance will make our rule unstable. ”

Hong Yun'er smiled lightly and said, "Let me tell you something, didn't our Heavenly Women's Army clamoring for some women's liberation a few days ago?" Do you want to set up a women's rights protection association? ”

Xiao Yungui took a sip of hot chicken soup and said, "Remember, I might you mix it." Then he said suspiciously: "Are you still going to mix?" ”

Hong Yun'er smiled slyly and said, "I didn't get involved, I just went to listen to it." Don't worry, listen to me. Seeing that Xiao Yungui was about to have a seizure, Hong Yun'er hurriedly opened her mouth and said, "I only went once, that is, the first time they gathered, guess what?" Without waiting for Xiao Yungui's black face to change, Hong Yun'er continued: "There are a lot of female compatriots who come, and they are all famous figures in Tianjing City, in addition to our women's army in the military and political circles of the Heavenly Kingdom, there are also Lin Damei, the skillful hand of Tianjing Spinning Factory, Chen Qiqiao, the skillful pen of the edict office, Jiang Enmei, the first beautiful female reporter of Tianjing Daily, etc., it can be said that there is a collection of beauties. At first, everyone talked about it very lively, but it soon turned sour, and it became a grievance meeting for everyone to apply for their own justice and tell about the unhappiness and harmony of the family. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yungui couldn't help laughing, Hong Yun'er said with a bitter face: "They haven't figured out what women's rights and interests are at all, and they don't know how to protect themselves, but what they said was lively, and finally when the sun was in the west, they all hurried back, most of them said that Xianggong was coming back, and he had to go back to cook and cook and take care of housework, which made me angry." ”

Xiao Yungui couldn't help but smile: "Let's show the stuffing, you just go to listen, is it worth being angry?" ”

Hong Yun'er had a hard mouth, refused to admit it, and pouted: "What, I'm anxious for them, and you don't allow me to get involved, so I have to be anxious." ”

Xiao Yungui drank the chicken soup and said, "Well, the soup is good, you go on." ”

Hong Yun'er flattened her mouth and said: "The most annoying thing is Su Sanniang, she is the president of the association elected by everyone, and she is also one of the fastest people, saying that she wants to go back and get the pair of cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles well, and she will give them to the navy's southbound warship tomorrow morning and bring it to Luo Xuan, which is really irresponsible." ”

Xiao Yungui laughed a few times and said, "I know, you gave me this example to tell me that you want to sue me, and you don't have to worry too much about what great changes the liberation of the ideology will bring, right?" ”

Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "Yes, after all, it is a habit of thousands of years, although France was in trouble back then, but then didn't you feel that it was impossible to do without an emperor?" Don't worry, even if we rush the ducks to the shelves to make them change now, the results will not be very good. The current Women's Rights Protection Association is the best example of this, and it seems that the worldview of male superiority and inferiority of women will continue to exist for a long time. ”

Xiao Yungui snorted and couldn't help laughing: "Well, I understand, just like Mr. Lu Xun gave up medicine and followed literature, our road to the Renaissance and the road to unifying the world is also full of thorns and hardships, and it will even be more difficult than seizing the world by force." It may be decades, if not centuries, before we see the dawn of revival, and Rome was not built in a day. ”

Hong Yun'er said: "Exactly, Europe began the Renaissance in the thirteenth century, and it was only in the seventeenth century that it was completed, and then from the seventeenth century to the present, they were experiencing the Enlightenment, and then finally ushered in the dawn of modern civilization. Moreover, I think that the change of thinking changes with the changes in the productive forces and the relations of production, and Europe is now a period of industrial development and capitalism, so they need to be more emancipated in their thinking. At present, there have not been major changes in the productive forces and production relations, so the development and change of our thinking can only come step by step, and we cannot adapt to it if we are too advanced. ”

Xiao Yungui said thoughtfully: "I understand a little, now we have just taken the first step." ”

Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "Yes, although the process is a bit long, but we must take this step, if we don't go, we will never be able to become stronger, do you think it is possible that a country with 90% illiterate in China will become a world power?" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "You are right, there is indeed no such possibility, the foolish people are just the means of ruling in the feudal period, if we want to be a strong country, we must let the main body of the country - the people open the wisdom, those online novels in later generations are talking nonsense, saying that they are worried that the wisdom will endanger the rule, their thinking is the poisonous influence of the foolish people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for thousands of years." ”

Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "However, we must also take advantage of the situation, let this development control in our hands, and don't have any nonsense thoughts of the Boxers." ”

Xiao Yungui shook his head and said: "You are still good at these nerve-wracking ideological problems, you continue to study well, I still take care of military and political affairs, and think too much about brain-hurting cells." ”

Hong Yun'er said with a smile: "Got it, my eldest prince." Then Hong Yun'er suddenly asked without a head: "By the way, I heard that Qingyun wrote to you again?" ”

Xiao Yungui smiled playfully and said, "It's so big vinegar." Before the words fell, I saw Hong Yun'er frowning coldly, Xiao Yungui hurriedly laughed a few times and said: "The letter is here, my wife, please take a look." ”

Hong Yun'er took the letter that Xiao Yungui took out from the secret box of the bookcase, opened it and looked at it, and after a few glances, she frowned and said, "Why did she tell you some old things?" Still asking me about my situation. ”

Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "Qingyun's scheming is much deeper than yours, obviously she and I are now mortal enemies, but she doesn't mention anything about military and political affairs, only about the things of the past, which shows that she is very calm." He paced a few steps and said: "Recently, new information has come that Rong Lu was deposed by Cixi, which means that Lu Sixuan was abandoned by Song Qingyun. I'm still thinking about what could make Qingyun suddenly depose Lu Sixuan without saying a word, could it be that Lu Sixuan is a threat to her power? ”

Hong Yun'er snorted and said: "You can only guess in the dark, we women hate being deceived the most, remember when I met Lu Sixuan, he lied to us that we hadn't seen Qingyun?" I guess he knew Qingyun's identity early on and hid it from us. At the same time, he also knew about our whereabouts from Qingyun, and now that he is in a goof, of course Qingyun will punish him. ”

Xiao Yungui glanced at Hong Yun'er with a sudden realization, and sighed: "Women are really strange sensual creatures......" (To be continued......)
