Chapter 106 Shout the Loudest Slogan
Back home, Liu Sheng was not at home.Liu Yu didn't stay at home too long, and went out to look for Kang Bushao, wanting to see what he thought of this matter.

Pushing the door open, Kang Bushao was reading there, and there was a pile of books on the table.

Seeing Liu Yu coming in, he put aside the Western Countries Brief Examination, stood up and greeted him, "It's a coincidence that the third son came here. I just finished reading this book, and I have a lot of understanding. I am going to find the third son."

This book has benefited Kang Bulan a lot. Before that, he only had a vague impression of Western countries. He knew that there were other lands overseas, he knew the strange translation names of several countries, and he knew that they believed in God. He didn’t know much about other things. .

After reading it, I have a consistent impression of Western countries.I also admire Liu Yu's talent a little more in my heart, and I was thinking of going to Liu Yu today to ask something I don't understand, but it happened to come here.

Liu Yu sighed, and gave a general account of what happened, and Kang Budai couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, I have long heard that the Imperial College and the students of Wude Palace often fight, but I have never seen it in person. This time, your lord did not suffer, why are you sighing?"

Since this person has been certified by Liu Sheng and can be trusted, Liu Yu is not in a haze, and talked about some secrets about the negotiations with Russia.

"I'm not upset about the fight. After the fight this time, they should be honest for a while. It's just how to deal with it, so far there has been no result. I'm afraid that it will drag on, and be subject to the scholarly public opinion. This exchange of envoys The incident sparked conflicts and interfered with the court's decision-making."

Liu Yu can understand the appearance of this matter, and Kang Bushao, who is a person of this world, naturally understands the difference between "Heavenly Dynasty" and "China", at least it is easy to understand the contradiction on the surface.

After hearing Liu Yu's worries, Kang Buxiu couldn't help laughing.

"My lord is really worrying too much. During the Yongchang period and the change of the Jiashen year, those righteous people could even shave their heads and even worship the barbarians. You are actually worried. They have changed their sex in just a few decades. Do you really care about the so-called dignity of the upper kingdom, the shame of being reduced from the emperor to the princes?"

After laughing, Kang Bulao said again: "The reason why it has not been dealt with until now is only because of the situation of the country. After the Jiashen year, the world was in danger, and the scholar-bureaucrats who surrendered and shaved their hair were all liquidated afterwards, so until now , no one is willing to take a step back in terms of words. This is why this matter is difficult to handle."

"If you deal with that imperial concubine, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a matter of the former court. Everyone is proud of it, and everyone wants to rely on it in the future. It is impossible to say that every Confucian society will ridicule your majesty as a fool. So I guess, This matter can only be dragged on until the end, and nothing will happen. Anyway, the young master did not suffer, so he fined the young master 20 taels of silver, which is just a joke."

"The DPRK and China don't want to be troublesome. They should just wait for the Rakshasa mission to come to Beijing and settle the matter in a low-key manner."

Liu Yu really didn't suffer, and he also knew that future reforms would not depend on those benevolent people full of classics and books, they would have to start anew.

But now that this happened, he was still worried.

"Brother Zhongxian, what I am worried about is not this matter. What I really want to do is to take advantage of the arrival of the Raksha Mission to facilitate the exchange of envoys. In the Academy of Sciences of the Raksha Kingdom, there are actually several If you are a good player, if you can send some people there, you can also learn some real knowledge. The knowledge taught by those missionaries is backward, and the second is to use knowledge as a bait to lure others into the teaching."

"It's not realistic to go to Western countries by boat at this time. Rakshasa is the nearest window. What I worry about is that when the Rakshasa mission arrives, there will be any troubles. As you said, the situation in the country and the court , There is no retreat, and now among the scholars, one by one shouts slogans, and whoever shouts loudly is the one who is righteous. Anyway, the country has a legacy, not to be punished for words, nothing to be afraid of, naturally, if words are not shocking, they will never stop. "

"Hmm..." Kang Bulao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "So this is what you are worried about? This is a problem."

"If the imperial court comes forward to forcefully subdue everyone, there will definitely be a saying in the book club that 'the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan'."

"If you want to solve this matter, you can't let the court forcibly subdue it, but force them to admit their mistakes."

Liu Yu smiled wryly upon hearing this.Forcing them to admit their mistakes?How to force?Everyone thinks they are loyal words, how can it be possible to force people who think they are righteous to admit their mistakes?

Seeing Liu Yu's wry smile, Kang Buxio couldn't help being amused, and said, "Young master still thinks them too righteously. Among the scholars, there is Wen Tianxiang, but how many people are like Prime Minister Wen? You have no grievances or enmity with them, but Biting the young master to death, in my opinion, this is drunkenness. The few who are really out of "righteous anger" are just killing knives."

"I can't understand for a while what the people who really hold the knife want. But even though I can't understand it, I know where their weakness is. You only need to stab the knife in their weakness, and they will be forced to take the initiative to retreat. Abandoned by those young men out of righteous indignation."

Liu Yu also roughly guessed that this incident might be because drunkards didn't care about drinking, but they really didn't know what this group of people wanted to do.Perhaps there is a certain possibility, in order to deceive the stiletto, if it is just like this, it would be easy, I am afraid that it is borrowing some people's minds to deceive the stiletto, and do something big.

"Weaknesses? Where are the weaknesses? I don't think it's appropriate to debate the matter of finding out the weak points of the scriptures now. It will be appropriate to argue when it really has an effect in the future."

Kang Busha shook his head and smiled, "Debating the scriptures? Young Master, if you have the idea of ​​debating the scriptures, you will never be able to win them. If Jiashen's disaster happened back then, and Yan Shenggong made a statement, it is possible that Donglu was the one who debated the scriptures himself. What needs to be done, so that people who make a living by debating the classics can take the initiative to argue and reason, this is the right way.”

"As soon as the master died, Confucianism was divided into eight, and there were many annotations in later generations. It's just that Confucianism after the Song and Yuan Dynasties can not only find reasons for not shaving their hair, but also be able to find reasonable reasons for shaving their hair. This is Young masters are not good at such things, but some people are good at them.”

"Young master, don't you just want to have a decent solution to this matter? You can't rely on the court to forcibly subdue it, so you should hit the weakness of the people behind the scenes, force them to give up the little pawn, and take the initiative to find chapters and excerpts to prove that the exchange of envoys is correct. gone."

At this point, Liu Yu has tasted a little taste.

Although I don't know who the people behind the scenes are or what they want to do, but Kang Bushao's words give an idea: no matter who the people behind the scenes are, they must have weaknesses.This weakness should be shared by a class. Since we don't know the specific person, then use all the weaknesses of this class to attack.

This is a problem of subsets and collections. If you can't find a specific subset, attacking the collection will definitely hurt you.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still thinking about it, Kang Buxie said with a smile, "My idea cannot be put on the table. But let's see if you dare to bet."

"Hahahaha... I'm the least afraid of gambling. Let me tell you about it, Zhongxian." Liu Yu thought to himself, I have gambled more than once.

"Since they were furious, the young master was even more angry than them. Didn't they dislike the young master's negotiation with Rakshasa as an insult to the state? Then the young master pleaded guilty, thinking that he was wrong, and thanked the few Guozijian students who made the first move. Since they When I read books and see such ancient events as pleading guilty, of course everyone is happy, and I compare myself to Lin Xiangru."

Kang Bushao's eyes gradually became vicious, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed it abruptly, saying: "Young Master, when pleading guilty, you should use words to lure them, step by step as bait, and lure them to say something."

"After the young master took the blame and pleaded guilty, he went to the supervisory court and the Yushitai to write a letter. He said that he was convinced by the truth taught by the students of the Imperial College, and thought that this matter was indeed detrimental to the dignity of the country."

"Since this is the case, please continue the war and expel the Rakshasa mission. The taxes owed by the gentry in various places will be replenished within a limited time, and the armaments will be increased, the army will be expanded, border salaries will be increased, and the land will be collected on an acre-by-acre basis."

"If you don't make it up, you should get rid of all the fame, because they hindered the country's military affairs, and they can't do it without money. It's a serious crime against the country. It should be like the time of Han Wu, who relocated the land and made the family rich and didn't make up the taxes in the capital. .”

"In addition, the imperial court is supposed to educate the barbarians. All the sons and scholars of the state should go to the southwest, northeast, Mongolia, Junggar and other places to educate the barbarians and fortify the frontier with their swords. Anyone who is a scholar or above, who wants to take the provincial and general examinations, must Follow the example of Western priests and go to Siyi to teach for three years. Otherwise, you will not be able to pass the exams and take part in the examinations."

"Wu De Palace should abandon Western learning and increase the learning of saints in the future."

"In the future, the children of Wude Palace will serve as officials in the south of the Yangtze River and collect taxes. And the students of the Imperial Academy and the scholars who are scholars should educate the barbarians with the words of the sages, go out of the border, and practice education. The so-called Wenzhiwugong."

"Considering the increasing spread of Western culture, there will be serious troubles in the future. The imperial court may follow the example of Japan and close the country. Expel all Westerners, and Jiangnan porcelain and silk are not allowed to be exported."

"Of course, these words are for young masters to plead guilty, and to lure them to say a few words, and then make use of them."

"If they take one step further, the young master will advance ten steps. They are righteous, and the young master should be righteous. Since gentlemen talk about righteousness, then hide the profit under the righteousness. As long as the slogan is loud and clear, you will have an invincible golden body. "

"Paying taxes, guarding the border, Wude Palace official Jiangnan and Jiangnan Confucianism filling the border, and educating the barbarians in the frontier, otherwise they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination. All of these four things are the weaknesses of scholars."

"Tell those behind the scenes that if you dare to take me under the knife, I don't care who you are. If I can't find you, I will take your entire class to be buried with me."

"Kicking it down is tantamount to giving the imperial court a step up. Your Majesty will make use of it, and someone who can debate the classics will explain it to those people—it is wrong for you to do so."

"Then, everyone takes a step back. It's bullshit to say that the court only treats you as a son, and no one dares to continue talking about insulting the state at this juncture."

"Besides, when you are pleading guilty, you talk in private. Those who are the most angry are still heroes in the eyes of scholars today. Tomorrow, you will write a letter saying that you are affected by them, and you will immediately become stinky shit. Killing people with a knife is not good. Talk about killing people, so that they will never stand up. How can a person live without his own circle, and everyone in his circle regards him as an enemy?"

"Young master thinks that this matter has not been dealt with so far, because the court is worried about the atmosphere of scholars. But looking at it the other way around, isn't it also because the court intends to support the young master's idea, but it is not easy to speak directly? In this case, the young master wrote a letter, which provoked In a mess, isn't there a step here?"

Liu Yu stood up in horror, and praised: "Zhongxian's plan is very clever! Zhongxian is also a person who has read the scriptures, how did he come up with such a poisonous plan?"

Kang Bushi smiled lightly.

"I have no property, and I don't want to be an official career. The changes I mentioned are none of my business? Of course, the more chaotic the better, and I can see their ugly appearance. I am very boring. Going to the theater is always boring. It is far worse than the world. It’s fun to watch for the sake of the screen and for the sake of all beings. It’s just looking for fun.”
