This is a popular image licensor who has never received image licensing fees, but his film and television images are popular all over the country. Yin Lian didn't watch a lot of historical films and documentaries about the Xia Dynasty, and most of the time, the nature of the study was relatively heavy, and it was a bit like swallowing up the facts, and the real emotional involvement was not deep.
Even so, after living in the Xia Kingdom for a long time, it was inevitable that I would be brainwashed unknowingly, and I would have an inexplicable sense of awe and intimacy towards His Royal Highness. When Yin Lian saw him, he suddenly realized this. He was shocked and felt that brainwashing education was terrible.
However, she has been brainwashed.
When she first met His Highness the Crown Prince, she couldn't help but feel an extremely strong feeling of intimacy towards him, just like looking at an acquaintance who appeared in various course materials, film and television dramas and physical currency all day long - obviously not familiar at all, but Because we see each other all the time every day, we have the illusion that we are very familiar with each other.
The freshness of seeing a living body for the first time is indescribable. Yin Lian couldn't help but stare at him for a long time.
She was wearing a curtain hat, so it would be difficult to detect anyone who didn't look at her. However, His Highness the Crown Prince's perception seemed to be very sharp, which made Yin Lian feel that his natural mental power might be very amazing.
He seemed to realize that Yin Lian was observing him and asked, "Are you here to visit Teacher Yi?"
Yin Lian replied: "Yes."
She didn't say much because she had a little emotion that she felt she shouldn't have. She was not from Xia country, so she shouldn't have been nervous, but she became a little nervous. Although she was sure to control this emotion and prevent it from being exposed and reveal the fact that she knew the other party's identity, Yin Lian felt that she should simplify the operation if shutting up could solve the problem.
His Highness the Crown Prince was much friendlier than expected. He stopped his companion from being reckless and found someone to help Yin Lian go in and deliver the message. When he heard that Yin Lian was visiting as the owner of "Lady", he even read more Eyes of pity. Not all the students present had read "Lady", but a friend of His Royal Highness heard the news, and their eyes met for a moment, and they suddenly started chatting with Yin Lian about the articles in the "Lady" magazine.
"...You are quite bold, you dare to use the Crown Princess as your concubine."
Yin Lian said: "It's not because I want to be a prince. It's because there are really many people who care about this matter. I have never experienced the fear of the emperor being angry and laying down millions of corpses, but I have experienced the fear of the emperor being happy and the whole world will imitate him. Princess It is said that everyone in the world is now pursuing free love, and only the prince cannot, which makes people feel sad. However, the prince is the future emperor, and every move of the emperor affects the people of the world, and his likes and dislikes will be affected a thousand times. The world has shown itself, so although I am sorry, I still hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can temporarily suppress himself and consider more the impact his choice may have on the entire society."
The other party was stunned for a moment, then focused on a certain key word in her words and asked: "Suppress it temporarily? Why temporarily?"
Yin Lian said: "Because the world is already changing. If one day, the world no longer belongs to one person, then the emperor no longer needs to be the emperor to everyone in the world."
When these words were said, not to mention the people who spoke to Yin Lian were shocked, even the prince himself showed an expression of surprise - now the voice of democracy in society is getting louder and louder, but even if he demands democracy and equality, he also demands The term "people first" requires the government to pay attention to the will of the people. However, the so-called "people are the masters of the country" theory currently does not exist.
Yin Lian's lines did not say that the people are the masters of the country, but they sharply stood for democracy and equality, and even went a step further, directly stating that the emperor should not be the core of the world.
Although the imperial court is now weak, Yin Lian is very courageous to dare to say such things.
For a moment, the prince wondered whether the little girl had recognized him and deliberately told him what he said. But after thinking about it, she felt it was impossible - if she really knew her identity, she shouldn't have reacted like this, at least she wouldn't have been so fearless when she said this.
In any case, it is unlikely that a little girl would know about his largely undisclosed political stance.
He opened his mouth and said softly: "The world has never belonged to one person, but the emperor... as long as he is still the emperor, he must be the emperor of everyone in the world."
Yin Lian watched him answer the question and suppressed the emotional fluctuations of being answered by the great man. He said: "Rights and obligations are relatively equal, and the emperor is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will have selfish desires. Therefore, there are few saints and many common people. There are few wise and sage kings, but there are many unprincipled and ignorant kings. Rather than relying on the saints to be nurtured in the hands of the mother of the country, it is better to let the system enable lay people to benefit the country and the people."
The prince looked shocked at that moment.
Even if people living in this era have expectations for a new pattern that can break the old system, for them, the new era that they have never seen with their own eyes and only exist in their ideals is still vague and unsettling. of.
Yin Lian said that we cannot expect saints to be raised in the hands of the mother of the country. In fact, for the Xia Kingdom in this year, it is exactly the opposite. Because the prosperous times that followed for nearly a hundred years were essentially due to fate favoring the Xia Kingdom, so that the saints were raised in the hands of the mother of the country.
The young future emperor may still want to correct the Chao Gang on his own at this time, so as to bring clarity to the chaos at this time. He may occasionally have doubts about historical preservation, but he is far from the clarity and determination that he would have much later.
Yin Lian's words are not far-sighted. In fact, if many knowledgeable people hadn't gradually awakened, Yin Lian wouldn't have the guts to say such things in such an environment with strangers.
But with the power of future generations, she tore apart the layers of historical veils, swept away the vast dust of the times, and pointed out a proposition to the other party that might take years or even decades to figure out.
His Majesty the Crown Prince originally did not intend to take the initiative to contact such a strange little girl and communicate too much with her. Even if he was curious about her "Lady" magazine, it was just a little curiosity and admiration. At this time, he could not help but Said: "But the system is set by people and can never be perfect."
Yin Lian said: "So the system must continue to improve and not stand still. We use the system to bind ordinary people who are not noble enough, and on top of that, let thoughtful people formulate the system, and then use education and time to Sharpen and change people’s minds from generation to generation—systems will regress, but changing minds, although difficult, is eternal… until the end of the human race.”
For a moment, the whole room was silent.
After a long while, the prince asked softly: "Miss Zeng, are you working for "Lady"?"
Yin Lian said: "The princess and I founded "Lady" together."
The prince said: "I also know the princess. If there is a chance, I hope we can communicate more."
He introduced himself, and of course he didn't use his real name, and it wasn't a pseudonym that was easily associated with people, so Yin Lian pretended not to know.
After they met with Mr. Yi, His Highness the Crown Prince still did not leave. He even sat down and led the conversation to some political topics when they had the opportunity.
Mr. Yi couldn't help but frown when he saw him talking to Yin Lian at first. Later he found out that Yin Lian was actually quite insightful. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but start chatting.
"...If you want to change your mind, the most important thing is of course education." Yin Lian listened to their questions, but without any reservation, he told the mature political theories that he knew from later generations, but brought some in line with them. Explanation of this era, "Over the past thousands of years, dynasties have changed many times, but the ideas will continue to persist, because many people read the same books and learn the same principles."
"But ideas are not just the principles of saints that we learn. In fact, true knowledge and principles, whether they are in the books of sages, storybooks or folk tales, if they are reasonable and what the people want will naturally be passed down, and if the people do not want it, they will be passed down. It will naturally be rejected, resisted, and eventually overthrown.”
"According to you, the dregs that have been circulated for thousands of years are also the 'truth' that the people want?"
"What does Mr. Yi think is reasonable?"
"Young lady, you want to talk to me about Neo-Confucianism?" Mr. Yi is not usually a very good-tempered person, but now he likes Yin Lian very much, so he is not angry when being questioned. Instead, he talks about his understanding of the principles. .
He cited scriptures, which was naturally not as straightforward as Yin Lian's, but after all, everyone's opinions were naturally sharp.
Yin Lian's answer was much more down-to-earth: "Mr. Yi is right, but I will give you my popular version of the understanding. I think the truth is a summary of ordinary people's life and survival experiences."
Mr. Yi was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "That's not wrong. It's quite insightful."
Yin Lian said: "Since it is a principle, it is mostly something that everyone thinks is right. It's just that there are big right and small right, big wrong and small wrong in the world. Some principles are small right and big wrong, so in my opinion, they are rubbish. But ordinary People may not be able to distinguish between big and small, so some dregs will be passed down. But once someone can see through this little pair and understand the big mistake inside, others will slowly realize it and abandon these dregs."
Mr. Yi said: "Why do the people who see through it convince the people who don't see through it? Rather than the other way around? Did you know that a eloquent person can win over the right truth with falsehood?"
Yin Lian said: "Because the truth is the truth." She said, "The truth is something we feel all the time. It is not suddenly created by someone. Its appearance is just a breakthrough, not a creation."
Mr. Yi couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him, and the prince seemed moved as well.
Next, everyone discussed how to carry out education and publicity. Yin Lian talked about many teaching methods that she knew. She didn't say more not because she had finished talking, but because some of them were too detailed, many of which could not be applied to this era, and there was not enough time.
Naturally, she said so much because she knew the prince was nearby. She is not very interested in changing history, unless it is a situation like Mathil's that she really can't handle, such as Xia Country, a world where there is obviously a bright future. Yin Lian feels that she should not be self-righteous and rashly want to change history. good. But if just a few words can help the boss "break through" something and save the other party from taking some detours, there is no reason not to do such a high-yield thing.
Afterwards, she successfully secured an appointment for Mr. Yi's manuscript. Because of this conversation, Mr. Yi had a good impression of her. After seeing the quality of the sample books that Yin Lian brought, he quickly agreed to let her publish an anthology.
Yin Lian's trip south this time can be said to have returned with a full load.
Although she got a batch of the manuscripts she wanted, she was not in a hurry to go back to her original era. Instead, she patiently completed some of the business that needed to be handled next - the follow-up to the rickshaw business, and the journal The added sections, as well as some subsequent serializations - in general, although I have established relationships with many authors, some manuscripts still have to wait for them to be completed in order to truly realize their value.
As expected, the plot of Su Changhen's "Golden Jade Lock" quickly changed due to Yin Lian's intervention.
To put it bluntly, the second female lead is gone.
