Xinshun 1730

chapter 107

Kang didn't neglect to watch the fun, but it was just what Liu Yu wanted.

As for Dashun's affairs, as long as the money is sufficient, with Dashun's size and wealth, it is not a problem to change into a big Tsarist Russia without seeking comprehensive reform.Although the large Tsarist Russia is jokingly called the weakest link of imperialism, the weakest link is also imperialism, which is enough to turn the world upside down.

It has been two years since he came to this world, and Liu Yu has understood various events of 80 years ago from some words and stories.

Li Guo left behind the basic set of Laowuying, Hai'erjun, and Sanshe's Fa-practical Learning. He originally wanted to use the Sanshe's method to revitalize the practical learning in a small area, cultivate enough talents, and finally eliminate those gentry at all.

But it is a pity that he died early, and many ideas were too late to be implemented, so he could only leave a lot of legacy, and use various overcorrecting methods to stabilize the situation, so as not to have a farce of a large number of gentry surrendering and shaving their hair.

As long as you live another 20 years, there should be a world-shaking change.It's a pity that after Li Guo died, all the changes were just the beginning.

After Li Laiheng succeeded to the throne, Liu Yuzu and other nobles were too powerful. Although Li Laiheng didn't slaughter the heroes and killed everyone with time, in order to maintain balance, he still let the civil servants be the force to check and balance the nobles.

After that, the world was gradually pacified, but the pattern was already fixed, and it was difficult to launch a comprehensive reform. Moreover, because of the ideological slogan of "protecting the world" instead of "successful advocacy", the interpretation power of the "Jingjing" was lost. It ran back to the hands of the literati.

The great thaw and reflection at the end of the Ming Dynasty, broken but not established, and the impact of Western culture made it impossible for Dashun to continue down the road of the past.

Now the battle is still going on, and the money is still not enough. Relying on the shadow of overcorrecting in the past, I finally cultivated a sense of self-confidence in the country, but because of this self-confidence, it also caused resistance to change.

That shot of stimulant back then made the 300-year tragedy of Shenzhou Luchen disappear.But because Li Guo died too early, too many problems were left behind.

The habit of compromise and tax evasion back then, Li Guo's hope to open up the wisdom of the people and encourage associations to discuss politics... These few things brought Dashun back to the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the boat of Dashun has reached a turning point.If there is no change, it will only be reduced to another late Ming Dynasty, and the road will be fixed, and it will slide all the way to perdition.

In the prosperous age, there are too many contradictions, but they are just hidden.

Kang Bulao's proposal is tantamount to asking Liu Yu to take the initiative to uncover this rotten scar, and speak out openly about the unfinished changes of the year: Wude Palace students go to the south of the Yangtze River to become officials. This is a move that may almost cause chaos in half the world. No one in the DPRK dares to talk about his remarks.

But since Liu Yu wants to play a scoundrel, he should gamble big.

Liu Yu didn't understand what the people behind the scenes wanted to do, but just like what Kang Bushao said, the people behind the scenes had an inevitable weakness, kicking this weakness would be of great benefit to Liu Yu: This is a lunatic, if you provoke If you are in a hurry, you are a lunatic who dares to risk his life and speak crazy words. If you can't strangle him to death, don't provoke him.

As for hostility and opposition... Born in Wude Palace, Jia Xungui's son, proficient in Jiaxi studies, Jia opposed Catholicism, no worries if you have too many debts, no itching if you have too many lice, you are going to be hostile, what is there to be afraid of?
Kang Buxiu prepared some words for Liu Yu to lure the students of the Imperial College, and told Liu Yu that as long as he used these words to lure them, write down their original words, and leave the rest to him, he would be able to make use of the problem. Write an essay that makes the court a sensation.

Remembering Kang Bushao's prepared cliché, Liu Yu went to the back garden of his home and found some rose trees.

With the strength of an ox chewing peonies, he pulled out several high-quality rose branches and threw away the thorns on them.

He took off the guard's brocade uniform and put on the military uniform on the boat, baring his right arm and half of his arm, and carried bundles of thorns on his back.

But he didn't go directly on foot, but took a car all the way to the gate of the Imperial College, and jumped out of the car when there was no one on the street.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Guozijian, several prison students who had been beaten in the fights in the past few days immediately spotted Liu Yu, exclaimed, and ran back.

Liu Yu put the thorns on her back, exposed her arms, and swayed into the gate of the Imperial College.

Pulling a prison student who was about to run away, after saluting very formally, he asked: "I was provoked by Chen Zhen and Mr. Chen's words that day. After I went back, the more I thought about it, the more I was wrong. I must be wrong. I came here today to find Chen Zhen pleads guilty. Excuse me, where is Chen Zhen now?"

The prison student who was about to run was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Yu's attire, and he couldn't believe it.

This barbarian who kept slapping people's mouths all day, actually came to plead guilty?

He was so arrogant that day, if he didn't dare to enter the gate of the Imperial College to make trouble, I'm afraid that group of mad dogs from Wude Palace would rush into the Imperial College and beat people.

But looking at the thorns on Liu Yu's back, the gift in his hand, and the absence of muskets and knives around his waist, he was already convinced.

Guozijian students have to live in dormitories, and it is not easy to live in the capital. Although many students from other places have money at home, they usually live in dormitories.

After pointing to the dormitory where Chen Zhen lived, Liu Yu thanked him, and walked over there regardless of everyone's astonished gazes.

As soon as he took a step, he heard the person who asked for directions calling for friends behind him.

They all know the story of pleading guilty, even the Imperial College Students in North Korea and Ryukyu have heard of it.But it was the first time I saw it in real life.

All the students from the Guozijian who were not in class for a while flocked to watch the fun, pointing at Liu Yu one by one.

There are even a few who were beaten that day, only feeling elated, thinking that there is justice in the world, although this Liu Yu is the son of the duke, he is afraid of the power of justice, didn't he just come to apologize today?
Although it may not be sincere, but after fighting with the students of Wude Palace for so long, this is the first time a student of Wude Palace came to apologize.And it's not a private apology, but the retro style comes with a thorny gift, and the students of Wude Palace may never be able to raise their heads again in the future.

There are also some old-fashioned people who thought: The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck.Presumably, the court wanted to severely punish Liu Yu and the students from Wude Palace.Since he is the son of Lord Yi, he should have gotten the news in advance, and he is afraid of punishment in the future, so he came to plead guilty today.

But even if it is hypocritical, the dignity of Confucian scholars in Guozijian is enough, so it is not easy to hinder.Just look at the excitement.

There were more and more people, and a few students from Ryukyu even ran to Liu Yu's side to see Liu Yu's appearance with his arms bared, thinking that the heavens will go to the kingdom, and there are indeed pre-Qin relics.

Liu Yu just pretended that he couldn't see it, thinking that a group of sand sculptures, if you laugh today, you will cry tomorrow.

He didn't feel ashamed at all, wherever he went, the people there would give way.There are even a few who run fast, and they have already run to Chen Zhen's dormitory.

"Brother Chen! Brother Chen! Then Liu Yu Xiaolian has a lot of old things, and he came here to plead guilty with you!"

In the dormitory, Chen Zhen, whose face was still swollen, sat up when he heard the words, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"What did you say?"

"Then Liu Yu is here to apologize! It's outside, and it's coming soon. I was talking there just now, and after hearing what you said that day, it made him suddenly understand. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I did something wrong, so I come to apologize. Now I don’t avoid people, I’m just outside, even students from Ryukyu and North Korea are watching.”

Such news made Chen Zhen stunned and shook his head, thinking that he was dreaming.

After a long time, I finally came to my senses, raised my head and laughed loudly: "There is righteousness, even such a barbarian can know right from wrong. He has pleaded guilty, even though I have been beaten, but I must not lose my strength of character. Beating him is for country, I have no personal enmity with him."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly arranged his hair, put on a square scarf, and carefully arranged his clothes.The place where he was beaten a few days ago was still hurting, and he limped to the door.

Liu Yu had already swayed to the door at this time, put one knee on the ground, and said loudly, regardless of the onlookers beside him, "Is Chen Zhen here? Liu Yu is here to plead guilty!"

No one answered the first question.

After yelling three times in a row, the door opened. The limping Chen Zhen walked out, supported Liu Yu who was carrying the thorns with both hands, and said, "Who has no faults? Knowing mistakes can be corrected. There is nothing good about it! I have nothing to do with Brother Liu." Personal grievances, those who fight, are the righteous way of the world."

He helped Liu Yu up with all his strength, and the surrounding Guozijian students cheered for victory.

He had just been beaten a few days ago, so he came to apologize today, and he even used the big gift of pleading guilty. With this kind of victory, even the swollen face that was beaten that day didn't hurt anymore.

"Brother Liu, please come in! Please also remove the thorns."

After saying three times in a row, Chen Zhen took off the thorns from Liu Yu's body with his own hands, and invited Liu Yu into the dormitory.

The people around had had enough of watching the excitement, and immediately rushed to tell each other, knowing that it was not good to continue watching here, one by one felt proud and left one after another.

After entering the dormitory, there was also a prison student who was beaten that day, and a man whose bones were broken by steamed buns covered in plaster.

Liu Yu pretended to apologize one by one, and then cupped his hands to Chen Zhen and said: "What Brother Chang said that day made me go back and think about it for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is indeed something wrong. Presumably Brother Chang also I'm not the kind of person who will take revenge, so I come to plead guilty, and please listen to the teachings of the elder brother."

Chen Zhen hurriedly said: "I don't dare to teach. It's just some superficial views. Brother Liu just read less sage books and was deceived by those barbarians' knowledge. Since he knows his mistakes and can correct them today, he can be regarded as a prodigal son. "

"Is Western learning the right way? In the past, someone asked the Western priests, saying that believers can only be monogamous and not allowed to take concubines, otherwise they will go to Hell in the future. Someone asked, King Wen has a hundred sons, and there are many concubines. Did King Wen also go to Hell? The missionary actually said: If so, King Wen will also go to Hell. It is conceivable how much filth is there in such a rebellious knowledge?"

"The so-called Western practical learning must also hide a lot of words about no king and no father. Brother Liu is young, and he has read few sage books, so he will inevitably be deceived. But there is righteousness in this world, brother Liu can understand it, turn around earlier, That's a good thing too."

"Du Shaoling said: It's enough to freeze to death in my hut alone! Although I was beaten, if I can make brother Liu understand what's wrong, even a few more beatings will be worth it!"

While speaking, he had a look of concern for the country and the people, and a touch of self-satisfaction in saving lost souls appeared on his bruised face.

Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, as brother said, it should be that I have read less books on sages. Since I read more books on sages, I must be knowledgeable. What I said that day was like enlightenment, and made me sweat when I went back. I’m here today to ask for advice, and I want to hear more.”

Chen Zhen was very modest, waved his hand and said: "The knowledge of sages, even if you can't comprehend it for a lifetime, how can I dare to say that I have gained it? It's just that there are many discussions in the school club on weekdays, so I have some opinions. It's a pity that I don't have an official status yet, and there is nowhere to use this knowledge of sages. Brother Liu wants to hear it, so I can only throw bricks and attract jade."

Liu Yu thought, throw it away, throw it away quickly.While recalling the various clichés that Kang Bushao gave him, he made a gesture of asking for advice.

Chen Zhen was not polite, and pointed out: "Brother Liu, do you know why I was so angry that day?"

"I didn't know that day, but I realized something today. It's just that I didn't think thoroughly, and I felt something was wrong." Liu Yu sighed, with a confused look on his face.

Chen Zhendao: "One thing, the principle. In the Song Dynasty, there was the Tanyuan alliance, which set a precedent. Since then, there has been no desire to restore the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Even in the future, the alliance with Jin and Mongolia has formed a habit. Once the principle is broken, In the future, I will only retreat step by step, and there will be disasters in the end."

"As for the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no cession of land, no compensation, and no marriage. This kind of backbone is exactly what we need. If my dynasty inherits the fate of the Ming Dynasty, if it is not as good as the previous dynasty, wouldn't it be criticized?"

Liu Yu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, what brother said is very true. As the saying goes, don't do evil because of small things."

Chen Zhen nodded with a teachable expression, "That's right. Don't do it because of the smallness of evil. This is the first. As for the second, Brother Liu doesn't know the system of the celestial dynasty. If Luo Cha doesn't pay tribute, How about North Korea, Annan, Ryukyu and other states?"

"The strong will not go to court, and the weak will go to court. This is not the way of kings. The king can be big and small. If the Raksha country does not come to the court, it is only necessary not to contact it. If the Rakshasa mission enters Beijing In the future, this tributary system will inevitably disintegrate, this is a disaster that cannot be ignored."

Liu Yu pretended to be in deep thought, raised his head for a long time, his brows and eyes were full of sudden realization, and then sighed: "But if Luo Sha refuses to accept and commits repeated offenses, it may cost a lot."

Chen Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Courage is also a must! As long as everyone in the frontier army knows the righteousness of the sage, is loyal to the emperor and loves the country, he will have infinite courage. How can it be invincible in the cold and wind? Therefore, we must cultivate Mingde , the barbarians submit themselves. Cultivating virtue is to let everyone know virtue and righteousness. So I said, there are too few words of saints in Wude Palace, and if they cannot educate soldiers, how can they fight?"

Liu Yu nodded and sighed again: "Even if you have the courage to teach, but there is not enough money and food, it will be difficult to win. If the country continues to open borders in the future, the wealth may not be sufficient. When border affairs start, money will always be used. That's why I think Use 30 taels for the truce between the two countries..."

Chen Zhen immediately snorted and said, "It's like fighting a fire with salaries, and it also encourages his desire to commit crimes. If the wealth is insufficient, the administration of officials must be rectified. How to rectify the administration of officials? If the punishment is severe, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to cure the root cause, you still need to cultivate morality, educate, and spread the words of the sages. So that everyone will not be greedy for ink, not hiding private things, not breaking the law, and not betraying righteousness, how can wealth be insufficient?"

"Hmm! What my brother said is quite reasonable. It just takes time to educate and cultivate morality. Many gentry have preferential treatment and exemption, but also owe a lot of taxes and don't pay them. Do you think this is reasonable? I think this may also be reasonable. With preferential treatment, everyone who studies, thinks about obtaining fame and fame, and he can also be exempted, which can also boost his desire to study..." Liu Yu slowly drew the fire to this side, but Chen Zhen was very impressed with Liu Yu's move. The words were very disdainful.

"Brother Liu said that this is not knowing the difference between righteousness and benefit. You say that, it is profit, not righteousness. Do scholars only study for that little advantage?"

"Those who were exempted by the previous dynasty and the national dynasty were nothing more than forced labor. Those who worked hard ruled others, and those who worked hard ruled others. Those who worked hard had to work hard. What is the dignity of working with those people? If there is no dignity, how can we use it?" Do people know the order of superiority and inferiority? Gentlemen don’t do labor, this is to let the people of the world know the order, not for the benefit that my brother said. If you think it is only for profit, then it is the words of a villain. Besides, most of the students are not at home when they study , how to do hard work? Of course, you have to be exempted. Do you understand?"
