Crossing Prince Yinren

Whenever the word "rebellion" is involved, it touches the sensitive nerves of the ruling class the most, especially the Manchus who ruled the Central Plains with foreign races, and Jiangnan was the place where the most serious murders were committed when the Eight Banners entered the customs.But the reason for the incident in the south of the Yangtze River this time was something that Yinfeng had never thought of.

Out of certain considerations, Yinreng admired Western learning when he was still the crown prince, and the Supreme Emperor Kangxi had other considerations and also supported this point.As a result, the missionaries who traveled across the ocean were very popular in China. The brand-new Western knowledge they brought was almost completely different from the traditional Chinese culture, and it was also very popular among the scholar-bureaucrat elite.

Although this western knowledge is not in the same system as the great Chinese culture, its profoundness is not inferior to that of the Chinese culture. China is the country with the most talented people. If you study it deeply, some people will naturally be fascinated.For the faith in their hearts, there are many missionaries who came to China without fear of hardships and difficulties. There are also many outstanding talents.But maybe it is just too powerful, things will be reversed, and another voice came out. In addition, Chinese culture has always been aloof, and it regards countries other than itself as barbaric lands, vulgar and disdainful, and now suddenly a new voice It seems that the barbarian knowledge is not inferior to the Chinese civilization at all, how can it make people calm.And there is another kind of people with ulterior motives, who can see the benefits at this time-the emperor of the Tazi respects the knowledge of foreign races so much, why is this?He wants to use these red-haired and bald-haired cultures to compete with my Chinese culture, and wants to assimilate or even exterminate my Chinese civilization!

They first cut off our rule, and now they want to completely cut off our civilization inheritance, so that we can be completely enslaved to other races!

I have been educated in traditional Chinese culture since I was a child, and now under the impact of Western learning and the aggressiveness of missionaries, scholars who already feel a little insecure are willing to accept this statement. They are ordinary people who do not know a few characters but think they have some knowledge Among them, this argument is also very marketable.Because even though it is ruled by the barbarians today, the Han nationality has inherited it for thousands of years, and the national pride has not been wiped out. On the contrary, because it is shaved and easy to wear, this is the only civilization that cannot be replaced and contended. Proud.

In addition, the job of missionaries is to preach after all. They spread knowledge only to attract the attention of the elite scholar-bureaucrats, hoping to make them face up to their own beliefs. After all, the glory of God can only be truly popularized by the elites. piece of land.In this era when the communication between the East and the West is still extremely difficult, most of the missionaries who dare to travel across the oceans and come to unknown places just to spread their beliefs are extremely fanatical and pious, even ambitious exuberant.They spread their beliefs and spread this fanaticism. Some foolish people donated all their wealth to the church in order to enter heaven after death, which caused a lot of right and wrong.As soon as someone with a heart instigates it, this dispute arises at the right time, and there are quite a few followers.

Yinreng admired Western learning and condoned the missionaries because he hoped to promote cultural exchanges between China and the West. He also expected that there would be some conflicts in the exchanges between the two parties, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.According to the brochures sent by Cao Yin, several active leaders who planned this matter have already begun to privately print pamphlets with the content of "Great Rebellion" and distributed them.

It would be Cao Yin's dereliction of duty not to report this kind of thing, but as far as Yinreng's original intention is concerned, he is unwilling to initiate a literary prison.Since ancient times, every literary inquisition has seriously damaged the vitality of the country. Once implicated, it will be endless.Moreover, according to the content in the brochure and the views promoted, this is a real conspiracy and should be punished by the Nine Clans, and he is even more unwilling to punish the Nine Clans for this matter.

But this kind of atmosphere can't be stopped. The Qing court is a foreign race that entered the Central Plains. It doesn't take a big name, and there are few people. Although it rules the world, if those millions of people sprinkled in the pass, it's like mixing sand on the ground. It seems that I can't even see it, and I am already sensitive, but at this moment when the internal undercurrent is turbulent.

Fortunately, it is only a group of literati who are tossing this time. As the saying goes, literati rebellion cannot be achieved in ten years, and the danger is not great.Yinfeng didn't give people the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and fish in troubled waters. The next day, he decreed that all the literati, their families and their families, were exiled to what they saw as overseas wild places.He also clearly stated: Since they are doing this because of these "barbarians", then go to the territory of these barbarians to promote our Chinese civilization!Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land, what is it to close your own house for fear of others breaking in? How can my great country be so petty.These "barbarians" know how to spread their culture to our "China", of course, we can also spread the culture to let those overseas barbarians see our splendid cultural accumulation of 5000 years.

Although most of the Chinese at this time knew that there were countries overseas, most of them still regarded them as barren and barren lands.This treatment is not so intimidating, nor as cruel as the real murder of the Nine Clans. It is just right, so that no one has anything to say.

In particular, Yinfeng also allowed the group of people involved to bring their own books, and their family property was not confiscated, so that they could promote Chinese culture overseas and influence "barbarians".Most of these Jiangnan celebrities are people with family background. There are more such people overseas, like a handful of fire sprinkled on the wilderness.At this time, the world didn't know that this seemed to be just a small act of generosity and benevolence of the emperor, but it was actually a turning point in the history of world civilization.

After this incident, Yinfeng's handling became a common practice, and most of the later emperors would deal with such incidents when literati were involved.

The incident in Jiangnan just reached the ears of caring people, and it has been dealt with quickly by the emperor. An case, some people can't help holding their breath.

"Ming'an has gone down, Guo Jin has gone down, it seems that most of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River are going to change people, the emperor is determined to track down, I wonder how many people in the capital's court will fall? The emperor treats those Han people so leniently Ren, why are you treating us so harshly?"

"Hmph, Brother Huai, what do you know? Let's see, who has fallen since he ascended the throne today? After checking that account book, who is it aimed at in the court? They are all veterans in the court. The old people under the overlord...the emperor and the courtiers, the emperor, this is cleaning..."

"Brother Ali, be careful!" The person who heard it was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, knowing that there was no one around, he hurriedly looked around and said, "Is this something you and I can say as a courtier?"

The person who spoke was full of disdain, "Brother Huai, you don't have to act like this. There are only you and me here. Could it be possible that this word will leak out? Besides, you and I are old ministers of the old court, and everyone's sword will behead you." It’s on, and you still pretend not to see it?”

The listener raised his glass to hide his emotions, "This...isn't it? The Supreme Emperor and today's father and son have a deep relationship, which is rare in ancient and modern times. How could it be. Ming An is just the nephew of Concubine Yi. What reuse, can't be regarded as a veteran of the old dynasty..."

"Ha!" The other party sneered, "Brother Huai, how many years have you been an official and you still believe in the deep love between father and son? Are you trying to make me happy? If that's the case, I think I have my own opinion, so I don't need to say what the younger brother said. drink wine!"

The listeners were a little embarrassed, they could only raise their glasses, and after drinking with them for a long time, they said again: "Little brother just doesn't know what to do, hey, brother Ali, what can you teach me?"

The other party said: "What can I do? The emperor is the emperor, and the world belongs to him. Who can stop what he wants to do? Even if there is something wrong, we veterans of the old court have no choice but to let it go..." Pause , he said full of hints, "Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor is still here, so we won't really become rootless ghosts. Alas, the Emperor is young after all, and he doesn't value us Manchus who are the foundation of the world. Instead, he listens to the villains and promotes What's the "spread into the mu". It makes the hearts of the people in the world unstable, and there are many turmoil in the court. It's really..."

The people who listened were thoughtful, and then suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, brother Ali has a good opinion. The Supreme Emperor has not been in Beijing for many years. He doesn't know about these situations, and he doesn't know that our old officials are in a difficult situation. If he knew, he would definitely not let the emperor do this. Nonsense..."

The two looked at each other and laughed, toasting together.
