"...The so-called rebellion is to commit crimes, or to spy on artifacts or positions of power, to become addicted to being an emperor or an official, and to taste the sweetness of power. It may also be because you are hungry and anxious. I want to have a full meal.
But no matter what kind of rebellion, destruction is more important than construction, and looting is more important than production. Some rebels even only know how to destroy and loot, but do no construction, and do not care about production. Therefore, such rebellions often deplete the vitality of the world, and in turn, only leave a desolate ruin for the victor to slowly clean up. Sometimes it would be easier for the Hulu barbarians to spy on the prosperity of our Middle-earth.
The Tianqi and Chongzhen rebellions were like this. They went back and forth, and neither Chuang nor Xian could learn how to build, and they didn't know how to lead everyone in production. As a result, we could not establish a foundation, nor could we stabilize the country. Everything was taken advantage of by Hu Lu, and even my Chinese clothes were gone.
What the Jianzhou Hulu did was actually a rebellion, but they were more capable of destruction, robbery, and murder than Chuang and Xian. After destroying everything that can be destroyed, plundering everything that can be plundered, and killing everything that can be killed, the world will naturally be a little more stable.
But our saint's third grandson, our third prince, and our original Confucianism are not going to rebel in this way. But revolution... The so-called revolution means change, and destiny is destiny. Revolution becomes destiny! And what is destiny? Whose family is the emperor? no! Whoever is the emperor has destiny, or to be more precise, it is who is looking after this destiny.
And changing destiny does not mean changing one's destiny. But to change this destiny! "
Scarrong spoke eloquently and eloquently. Of course, what he said was not the truth he came up with himself, but the truth entrusted to him by Zhu Heji.
However, he can remember so many truths and speak them out in his own language quite clearly. This shows that Dao Scarrong also has the qualifications to be a top student - no one has ever stipulated that a top student cannot have well-developed limbs and be good at cutting people. A tough guy, right?
Dao Scarru continued to reason with everyone. He suddenly raised his voice and asked loudly: "Do you think this destiny can be changed?"
"Yes!" Dao Scarong roared and gave the answer himself. He paused and then continued: "Because this destiny has changed once! Confucius once said: The people of Yin respected the gods and led the people to serve the gods. , put ghosts first and then rituals, punish first and then reward, respect but not be close to each other. Zi also said: Zhou people respect etiquette but give to others, respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance, stay close to people but be loyal, their rewards and punishments are based on titles, and they are close but not respectful.
From the people of the Yin Dynasty following gods to the people of Zhou Dynasty following rituals...it was a change of fate! Because God is the heaven of the Yin people, and ritual is the heaven of the Zhou people. When heaven changes, destiny will naturally change! And what caused this change in destiny was King Wu’s revolution! "
Among the crowd, someone suddenly asked loudly: "Master Zhuangyuan, is the 'ritual' we want to reform now?"
Fengmingshan discovered that the person who asked the question was the "businessman" who claimed to be from Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture.
This "businessman" is about sixty years old. He is wearing a green cloth gown and a gray hood to cover his braids. He has a majestic appearance and bright eyes... He doesn't look well-behaved. businessman!
Qiu Rong also glared at the person who asked the question, and then said word for word: "The life we want to revolution was stolen by the hypocrites, and then they were constantly castrated and distorted, so that the essence was completely lost. present!
We just want to get rid of this 'false etiquette' and get back our 'true etiquette'! "
As he spoke, he took off the sword from his belt and raised it high: "It is impossible for a Confucian with 'true etiquette' to lose to the barbarians, so that both of them would perish, and even lose the title of China. .... Facing the statue of the sages, do you dare to say that you are a true Confucian?"
This is about drawing a sword to talk about morality and killing people to "explain etiquette"!
And the "ritual of killing people" is indeed a ritual!
"The Rites of Zhou" itself includes the "etiquette" of using troops to fight, and among the "Six Arts of the Gentleman", it also includes the two "killing arts" of "shooting" and "control".
Of course, "rituals" and "arts" must keep pace with the times while retaining their essence. They cannot remain unchanged for a thousand or two thousand years.
For example, the "etiquette" of using troops in the Zhou Dynasty cannot be copied to today, but it is necessary for a gentleman to learn military strategy and be prepared to fight for the country.
Among the "six arts", "chassis" and "shooting" are also constantly improving. The "royal" in the Six Arts is driving a carriage, because at that time military chariots were used in wars. Now it can be changed to horse riding or other military skills, such as queue training.
And "shooting" can mean archery, shooting, or throwing grenades.
Of course, if it can defeat the enemy and protect the country, it is also possible to gossip and write stereotypes. But the effect doesn’t seem to be ideal!
The older "businessman" might have planned to have a good argument with Scarrong, but when he saw Scarrong raising his "reasoning weapon", he immediately felt that Scarrong was justified.
He has a set of principles of his own, but they cannot save the world from destruction!
The Guangdong gang of "killing Confucians" may not have the right principles, but they have regained a little bit of the lost world. Let him, an old man who had already despaired of the prosperity of the world, travel thousands of miles to come to Guangzhou.
I wonder if there is any truth more true than this in the world?
So he cupped his hands at Dao Scarong and said: "Gu Yanwu, a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, heard about the restoration of the Ming Dynasty and came to join him from thousands of miles away. I hope that Duke Zhuangyuan will introduce him to the throne of the governor of the country."
This man is actually the great scholar Gu Yanwu!
But Scarrong didn't even remember who Gu Yanwu was? So he just stood there.
"Gu, Gu Yanwu, you are Mr. Tinglin!" Fengmingshan couldn't control himself and shouted loudly, "After I was born late, I learned from Fengmingshan, a native of Liao Dynasty, and I paid my respects to Mr. Tinglin!"
Fengmingshan is from the Liao Dynasty, but he is not the Eight Banners Han Army, but a descendant of the Liao people who were moved into Shanhaiguan by Xiong Tingbi - when his mother-in-law entered the customs and settled in Yongping Prefecture, he was not born yet. He was born in the fourth year of Chongzhen and had been a member of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. Of course I know the pain of destroying the world. But later he became a Jinshi, became a dog officer, and experienced the mighty favor of the emperor...
"Fengming Mountain, you bitch...take it down for me!"
As soon as Fengmingshan jumped out, Qiu Rong immediately remembered that this man was a dog official - earlier he was the prefect of Chaozhou in the Ming Dynasty, and Fengmingshan was a fellow magistrate of Chaozhou in the Qing Dynasty. How could he forget?
So they immediately called for Fengmingshan to be captured, and a group of top students standing next to Dao Scarong heard their principal's order and immediately drew out their unbladed swords and surrounded him.
Although the long sword has not been sharpened, it can be used as an iron ruler, and it will still hurt to hit someone.
When Fengmingshan saw this posture, he quickly shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, I surrender... I came to seek refuge with Zhu San's grandson! I have an old relationship with Zhu San's grandson! I also know that Xue Zhang has gone where?"
...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you in there? I have captured the dog officer in Fengming Mountain! I have captured Fengming Mountain!"
Zhu Heji, who was concentrating on playing with a set of newly made retort equipment in the "Magic Room" of the Prince's Mansion in Guangzhou, suddenly heard Dao Scarrong's shouting.
"I seem to hear Dao Scarong yelling, did you two hear it?" Zhu Heji asked casually.
The subjects of his questions were two little girls, Bei Jiaxin and Aoi Saiwu... These two little girls had followed him when Zhu Heji captured Macau.
I thought it would be used soon... I didn't expect it to be used, but not in the right place. It was not used in the bedroom, but in the laboratory.
Both of them became Zhu Heji's female laboratory assistants. Among them, Bei Jiaxin was responsible for recording the experimental process and organizing the experimental reports. And Aoi Sew is responsible for managing experimental equipment and various "magic potions"... Both of them have now become "witches"!
After they become "witches", of course they lose their freedom and cannot be used for the time being - many "magic potions" are toxic. If they become pregnant with a child, they cannot continue to be "witches", then Who did Zhu Heji ask to help him conduct experiments?
