New Shun 1730

When he returned home, Liu Sheng was not at home. Liu Yu didn't stay at home for long, and went out to find Kang Bulao to see what he thought about this matter.

Pushing the door open, Kang Busao was reading there, with a lot of books piled on the table.

Seeing Liu Yu coming in, he put down the book "A Brief Examination of Western Countries", stood up and greeted him, "It's a coincidence that the Third Young Master is here. I just finished reading this book, and I have a lot of insights. I was about to go find the Third Young Master."

This book has benefited Kang Busao a lot. Before, he only had a vague impression of Western countries. He knew that there were other lands overseas, knew the weird translations of several countries, and knew that they believed in God. He didn’t know much else. .

After reading it, I had a coherent impression of the Western countries. In my heart, I admire Liu Yu's talent a little more. I was thinking of going to Liu Yu today to ask about something I don't understand, but by chance, he came.

Liu Yu sighed and briefly explained what happened. Kang Buduo laughed.

"Young Master, I have long heard that there are frequent fights between the students of the Imperial College and the Wude Palace, but I have never seen it myself. This time, the Young Master did not suffer any loss, so why are you sighing?"

Since this person was certified by Liu Sheng as trustworthy, Liu Yu did not hesitate and told some secrets about the negotiations with Russia.

"I'm not upset because of the fight. After this fight, they should be honest for a while. It's just that there is no result yet on how to deal with it. I'm afraid that if it drags on any longer, I will be subject to the scholarly customs of sending envoys to each other. The incident caused conflicts and interfered with the court's decision-making."

Liu Yu can understand the appearance of this matter. Kang Buluo, who is from this world, naturally understands the difference between "Celestial Dynasty" and "China", at least it is easy to understand the apparent contradiction.

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

"Young master is really worried. During the Yongchang period, during the Jiashen year, those people who were full of righteousness were able to shave their heads and worship Yi Di. You are actually worried that they have changed their gender in just a few decades. Do you really care about the so-called dignity of the country and the shame of being reduced from emperor to prince?"

After laughing, Kang Buyao added: "The reason why it has not been dealt with yet is 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 heads were all liquidated afterwards, so until now , No one is willing to take a step back in words. This is what makes this matter difficult to deal with.”

"If you deal with that Imperial College Supervisor, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a stick incident of the previous dynasty. Everyone is proud of this, and everyone will want to rely on this to gain fame in the future. Who knows that various Confucian societies will ridicule Your Majesty as a coward. So I guess, We can only drag this matter to the end without making any noise. Anyway, I didn’t suffer any loss, so I fined you twenty taels of silver, which is just a joke.”

"The DPRK doesn't want to cause trouble. It should wait until the Rakshasa mission arrives in Beijing and then keep a low profile on this matter."

Liu Yu did not suffer a loss. He also knew that future changes would not rely on those people who were full of benevolence and righteousness. They would have to start anew.

But when 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 Rakshasa envoys to come and facilitate the exchange of envoys. There are actually several people in the Academy of Sciences of the Rakshasa Kingdom. A good master can learn some real knowledge if he can send some people there. The knowledge taught by those missionaries is, on the one hand, backward, and on the other hand, they often use knowledge as bait to lure others into Christianity.”

"It is not realistic to go to the Western countries by boat at this time. Rakshasa is the nearest window. What I am worried about is that when the Rakshasa delegation comes, there will be some trouble. As you said, the situation in the country and the dynasty , there is no way to retreat. Nowadays, among the scholars, everyone is shouting slogans. Whoever shouts louder is justice. "

"Hmm..." Kang Buyao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Is this what Young Master is worried about? This is indeed a problem."

"If the imperial court intervenes in this matter and forcibly subdues everyone, there will definitely be a saying in the bookstore that 'it is better to defend the people than to defend the river'."

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

Liu Yu smiled bitterly upon hearing this. Force them to admit their mistake? How to force it? Everyone thinks they are being honest, how can they force someone who thinks they are righteous to admit their mistakes?

Kang Busha couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Liu Yu smile bitterly, and said: "Young Master still thinks that they are too upright. Among the scholars, there is Wen Tianxiang, but how many people are like Prime Minister Wen? You have no enmity or enmity with them, but Biting the young master, in my opinion, it is not the drunkard's intention. Those who are really motivated by "righteous anger" are just murderers."

"I can't understand what the people who really hold the sword want. But even though I can't understand it, I know where their weakness is. The young master only needs to stab their weakness with a knife, and he will force them to take the initiative to retreat and put the sword behind them." Abandoned by a few young people out of righteous indignation.”

Liu Yu also roughly guessed that the drunkard was not interested in drinking, but he really didn't know what this group of people wanted to do. Maybe there is a certain possibility that in order to deceive the stick, if it is just like this, it would be simple. I am afraid that I am borrowing the ideas of some people who want to deceive the stick and do something big.

"Weakness? Where is the weakness? I don't think it's appropriate to argue now when you find the weaknesses. It will be appropriate to argue again when the results are really effective in the future."

Kang Bunuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Debate the scriptures? Master, as long as you have the idea of ​​​​debating the scriptures, you will never win against them. Just like the Jiashen disaster, when Yan Shenggong came to express his opinions, could it be that Donglu debated the scriptures on his own? ? What needs to be done to allow people who make a living by debating scriptures to take the initiative to make reasonable arguments? This is the right way."

"As soon as Master died, Confucianism was divided into eight, and in later generations there were many commentaries on scriptures. However, in Confucianism after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people could find reasons not to shave their heads, but they could also find reasonable reasons for shaving their heads. This is Young masters are not good at this kind of thing, but there are people who are good at it.”

"Don't you just want to find a decent solution to this matter? If you can't rely on the imperial court to come forward and force it to be subdued, then you should attack the weakness of the people behind the scenes, force them to give up their pawns, and take the initiative to find chapters and excerpts to prove that sending envoys to each other is correct. ”

At this point, Liu Yu had already tasted the taste.

Although I don’t know who the people behind the scenes are or what they want to do, Kang Busao’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, we can attack it with all the weaknesses of this class.

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

Seeing that Liu Yu was still thinking, Kang Busha smiled and said, "This idea of ​​mine cannot be put on the table. But let's see if the young master dares to gamble."

"Hahahaha...I'm not afraid of gambling. Zhongxian, tell me." Liu Yu thought to himself, I have gambled more than once.

"Since they were angry, the young master was even more angry than them. Didn't they despise the young master's negotiation with Rakshasa as an insult to the country? The young master went to plead guilty, thinking that he was wrong, and went to thank the few Imperial College Supervisors who took action first. Since they When reading, when I saw the ancient story of bearing a thorn and asking for forgiveness, I was naturally very happy and compared myself to Lin Xiangru."

Kang Buluo's eyes gradually became sinister, he stretched out his hand and suddenly grasped it and said: "When the young master is asking for forgiveness, he should use words to seduce him, and use every step as a bait to induce them to say something."

"After the young master went to plead guilty, he went to the Supervisory Court and the Imperial Palace to write a letter. He said that he was impressed by the principles taught by the Imperial Academy students and believed that this matter was indeed detrimental to the dignity of the country."

"In this case, we also ask the country to continue the war and expel the Rakshasa mission. The taxes owed by the gentry in various places will be paid within a time limit, increase armaments, expand the army, increase border salaries, collect taxes per acre, and inventory the land."

"If they don't make up for it, they should all be revoked because they hindered the country's military affairs. They can't do it without money, which is a serious crime against the country. We should also follow the example of the Han Dynasty, when the wealthy family moved to the capital without making up the taxes. ”

"In addition, the dynasty should educate and civilize the four barbarians. All the imperial examinations and scholars should go to the southwest, northeast, Mongolia, Junggar and other places to educate the four barbarians and use swords to guard the frontiers. Anyone who has the title of scholar or above, if he wants to take the provincial examination or the joint examination, it is necessary If you follow the example of a Western priest and teach in the barbarians for three years, you will not be allowed to pass the exam or participate in the examination."

"Wude Palace should abandon Western learning in the future and increase the knowledge of saints."

"In the future, the children of Wude Palace will serve as officials in the south of the Yangtze River and collect taxes. The students and scholars in the Imperial College should teach the barbarians with the words of the saints, go out to the border, and practice education. This is called civilized martial arts."

"Considering that Western culture is spreading day by day and there will be serious trouble in the future, we can ask the imperial court to imitate Japan and close the country. All Westerners will be expelled, and Jiangnan porcelain and silk will not be exported."

"Of course, these words are meant to lure the young master into saying a few words when they need to plead guilty."

"If they take one step forward, the young master will take ten steps forward. If they are righteous, the young master should be more righteous. Since gentlemen talk about righteousness, they should hide their benefits under the righteousness. As long as the slogan is loud and clear, they will have an invincible golden body. "

"Paying taxes, guarding the border, and being a virtuous official in the south of the Yangtze River. Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River supplemented the border pass, and educated the barbarians on the frontier, otherwise they would not be allowed to take the imperial examination. Each of these four things is the weakness of the Confucian scholars."

"Tell those people behind the scenes that if you dare to attack me, I don't care who you are. If I can't find you, I will bury your entire class with you."

"Kicking it down is equivalent to giving the court a step up. Your Majesty will use the topic to his advantage. There will be people who can debate scriptures to explain to those people that what you are doing is wrong."

"Then, everyone takes a step back. The court only treats the young master as nonsense, and no one dares to continue talking about things that are insulting to the country at this juncture."

"Moreover, when the young master stood up to plead guilty, he talked privately. The most angry ones are still heroes in the eyes of scholars today. Tomorrow, when the young master writes a letter saying that he was influenced by them, he will immediately become a stinking piece of shit. Killing someone with a knife will not feel good. If you kill someone, you will never be able to stand up again. If a person loses his circle and everyone in his circle regards him as an enemy, how can he survive? "

"Young Master thinks that the fact that this matter has not been dealt with so far is because the imperial court is worried about the scholarly atmosphere. But looking at it on the other hand, isn't it that the imperial court intends to support the young master's idea, but it is difficult to say it directly? In this case, the young master wrote a letter and provoked If it’s a mess, won’t this step be there?”

Liu Yu stood up in shock and praised: "Zhongxian's plan is very clever! Zhongxian is also a well-read man, how could he come up with such a vicious plan?"

Kang Busuo smiled lightly.

"I have no property, and I have no official career. What does the mentioned change have to do with me? Naturally, the more chaotic the better, so as to see how ugly they are. Leisure is extremely boring, and going to the theater is always boring. It is far better to take care of the world. It’s just fun for the sake of the curtain and all sentient beings.”
