Su Yonglin's idea was unanimously approved by Fuxing members.
Xin Qiji used his rich experience as an old gentry to add annotations to Su Yonglin's ideas.
"As the chairman said, Confucian scholars have always advocated the ritual system. The ideal is to educate the world with the morality of saints so that everyone has morality. Then the world can naturally be governed, and world harmony will no longer be a dream. In this way, they will The legal attitude is not positive.”
Tian Guizi has read a lot of books these days and will continue to speak.
"I was reading recently and read that the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism was very fierce in the pre-Qin period. Confucianism and Legalism each insisted on their own opinions and fought fiercely. We can use this excuse to pretend to be the heirs of the Legalist school and use Confucianism and Legalism. Strive to conceal our true purpose."
Tian Guizi's statement aroused the interest of revival members.
Wei Ke, who has become more and more fond of reading recently, stood up and spoke.
"The dispute between Confucianism and Legalism is very interesting, because at that time, the Qin State, which adopted Legalism, destroyed the six kingdoms of Shandong and unified the world. Confucianism was not fully adopted by the princes at that time. Later, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty began to adopt it. It was Huang-Lao's learning, and it was not until Emperor Wu that it became Confucianism. I find this aspect very interesting."
Su Yonglin stood up with a smile and said: "The hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, Confucianism, Legalism, Huang Lao's School, etc. are all very interesting. In the future, we can carry out special studies and discussions on this issue, learn from their strengths, and discard them. shortcomings.
But now, as Premier Tian said, we are too weak to confront the gentry and bureaucrats head-on, so we can use some clever disguises to turn ourselves into Legalist believers, and use the Judicial Office to check and balance the Confucian scholars. At the same time, we develop and cultivate our own comrades.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the imperial examination must be used as a way to select officials. As for the imperial examination, if the content of the examination remains unchanged, it is impossible for our comrades to compete with those Confucian scholars who are familiar with Confucian classics. Therefore, in terms of the imperial examination, we Certain improvements will also be made.
Using Xunzi's theory to divide scholars and introduce a special judicial examination, our comrades need to find another way to enter the court and local governments and obtain official positions by studying Xunzi's theory and taking the judicial examination.
In addition, in the aspects that Confucian scholars do not pay attention to, such as those aspects that they regard as strange and obscene skills, I will also improve them in the imperial examinations. Our comrades can also study in this aspect to enter the imperial court and hold official positions. "
After speaking, Su Yonglin made a summary.
“Although the power of the Fuxinghui cannot dominate state affairs at the moment, although the imperial examination must be carried out and Confucian scholars must enter the court, using aspects that they do not pay attention to to compete with them and eventually make a comeback is also the way for us to win.
Everyone, in order to realize our ultimate ideal, in order to crush all the superior people, so that all citizens can have enough food, clothing and education, and let them understand that they are not born to be poor, in order to achieve these goals, please be patient. , work hard and wait for the day when you look up! "
Su Yonglin bowed deeply to all the Fuxing members present.
All members also stood up to pay tribute to Su Yonglin.
"Here!"
Their reply was heavy and firm.
Subsequently, the Central Committee of the Renaissance Committee held a vote and approved the draft of the founding of the People's Republic of China proposed by Su Yonglin.
After receiving the understanding and support of the Renaissance Association, Su Yonglin held the second round of secret meetings with the revised draft of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The participants in the second round of secret meetings were all the main leading officials in the General Affairs Bureau, including the old officials and gentry who were appointed as the founding officials.
These matters must be communicated and discussed with them first, and then a certain amount of promise must be given to them, and a part of the power must be allocated to them, so that they can feel at ease and continue to do what they should do.
Officials from major departments such as the Department of Civil Affairs, Department of Finance, Department of Ceremony, Department of Agriculture, Department of Military Affairs, Department of Criminal Justice, Department of Public Works, and the Department of Metropolitan Police immediately came excitedly to attend this high-level private meeting after learning about the incident. .
As we all know, public meetings generally do not exist to solve problems, but to inform solutions that have been decided.
Meetings where decisions can actually be made are generally closed to the public. Except for the parties concerned, outsiders can only make judgments based on some appearances that cannot be concealed after the fact.
Just like now, all the participants who received the notice know the true meaning of this meeting.
This is a conference to allocate power before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a meeting that determines the political situation and direction for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China. If you can participate, it can be regarded as an important position of real power.
So they were quite surprised and hurriedly squeezed out time to attend this meeting.
On the day of the meeting, Yelu Chenghui, a doctor in the Civil Affairs Department, Yelu Yuanyi, a member of the Civil Affairs Department, and Chen Jichang came earlier.
When they arrived outside the venue and waited to enter, they chatted about some business matters and were relatively polite to each other.
After a while, Kong Zheng, the director of the ceremony, came together with his friends, Zhou Jiang, the director of the ceremony, and Cao Kai, the director of the finance department.
Seeing these three people appearing together, Chen Jichang, who is also from Shandong, immediately greeted Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi, and went over to talk to Kong Zheng and others. They seemed very close.
They didn't know what they were talking about, but they gathered around and laughed as they talked, as if the world's situation was under their control.
Seeing this, Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi both felt uncomfortable.
"I have been working in the Department of Civil Affairs for several months, but I have never seen him be so enthusiastic towards us and act businesslike. I thought he was an upright person. But now... look at his flattering look. When Kong Zheng came, he immediately joined us. Going up, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple.”
Yelu Yuanyi looked at Yelu Chenghui and whispered: "Although this person is not a good person, but he can do this, maybe he heard some rumors beforehand, maybe Kong Zheng will become a high-ranking official?"
Yelu Chenghui thought for a while and snorted coldly.
"Not to mention whether Kong Zheng is a high-ranking official or not, when have these Shandong people ever taken us seriously? Most of the officials in the entire priest department are Shandong people. They usually go behind our backs and say that they are not from our race. Hmph! Say they are There is nothing wrong with being sour and rotten!"
Yelu Yuanyi thought for a while, but his expression was not relaxed.
"You can't say that. Judging from the current situation, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the post of Minister of Rites must belong to Kong Zheng. The Ministry of Rites usually has nothing, but the imperial examination is handled by the Ministry of Rites.
No matter what we plan to do in the future, it will not be good for us to make the relationship with them too rigid. When the time comes, they will make us lose everything if they make a little stumbling block. Things cannot develop like this. "
Yelu Chenghui shook his head.
"Do you think the general doesn't know about this kind of thing? The Priests are the Priests, and the Ministry of Rites is the Ministry of Rites. Everyone knows that the imperial examinations are run by the Ministry of Rites, and they also know that the Central Plains scholars, especially Shandong, have the most scholars. If the imperial examination is held, They definitely have the biggest advantage.
If we really implement the imperial examination, in a few years, all the people in the court will be Shandong people. Do you really think the general will let such a situation happen? If this is true, is the new dynasty a new dynasty for people all over the world, or a new dynasty for people in Shandong? "
Yelu Yuanyi felt that what Yelu Chenghui said made sense, and thought that Yelu Chenghui had often been called to discuss government affairs by Su Yonglin before, and the talks lasted half an hour, and he became interested.
"If you put it that way...what rumors did you hear?"
