Chapter Eighty-Six: The Chinese? Chinese people!
And how?!
The Manchus were "dissolved" by the Han people - this is a big situation, and it is actually understated as "what"?
However, Cixi knew that Guan Zhuofan still had a big reason behind her, so she remained silent and asked, "What do you say?" β
"The minister wants to tell the queen mother first to accuse him - what the minister said first, the Manchu people were 'dissolved' by the Han people, this statement is not very true. Indeed, it should be 'the Manchu and Han scriptures have become two into one', you have me, I have you, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. Well, this can be considered a new ...... Race, non-Manchu, non-Han, let's call it ......'Chinese people'? β
"Manchu and Han are two and one"? "Chinese"?
Like a ray of extremely bright light, it came from the sky, penetrated the clouds, crossed the mountains and rivers, and shot into Cixi's mind, making her slightly dizzy, and at the same time, she vaguely felt that there was a magnificent new world in the distant source of light.
Cixi's heart jumped inexplicably.
In China at this time, there was no clear concept of "nation", but there was no problem in saying that the Manchus were "Chinese". In fact, if you don't recognize me as a "Huaxia person", I won't do it - if it is Kang Yongqian's time, if you dare to say that, I will cut off your head.
Guan Zhuofan deliberately asked Cixi to digest this passage first, and paused for a moment before continuing: "It's just that there are few Manchus and many Han people, and two are really one, and outsiders seem to be Manchu 'dissolved' by Han people." β
After a pause, he said: "The minister just said that the situation today is very different from the beginning of the country. This 'big difference' situation. The minister has already said two. First. Now the flag people are not angry, which is very different from the beginning of the country; Second, today's domestic and foreign turmoil is a 'great change unseen in thousands of years', and we cannot but change course. In addition to the above two, there is a third situation, where the minister also has to return to the Queen Mother. β
"Oh? You said. β
"Yes. I have made a pilgrimage to the saints to this day. In fact, the Han people no longer regard the Manchus as 'outsiders' - this is the third point that the minister wants to say, compared with the beginning of the country, 'big difference'. In this way, if the Manchu people turn around and cling to the defects, it will be too unwise to be external to the Han people - this, please pay attention to the Queen Mother! β
Sayings such as "there is no distinction between the Manchu and Han dynasties" are either self-boasting of the emperor in the edict, or they are clichΓ©s of praising saints in the court. In private, the Manchurians do not have the confidence that the Han people do not regard themselves as "outsiders". And this kind of talk. No matter what the Han people think in their hearts, they will not take the initiative to say it to the Manchus - it is likely that it is boring to say it, who knows if the Manchus will think: The Eight Banners are noble, and there is no difference between the Manchus and the Hans?
"Getting on the pole is not a sale"!
On this issue, Cixi's view is actually the same as that of ordinary banner people: since she does not believe that Han people will regard themselves as "their own people", subconsciously, she regards Han people as "outsiders", and at the same time, she also considers herself an "outsider" to Han people. Therefore, Guan Zhuofan's words shocked her greatly, and after thinking about it, her voice had become a little urgent: "How can you see it?" Let's take a look! β
"Yes, the minister thinks that quelling the Hongyang Rebellion is a clear proof!"
"Oh?"
"Queen Mother, please think about it, is it more Manchu or Han than the Han people used by the imperial court to quell the Hongyang Rebellion?"
Needless to say? Except for this Guan Zhuofan, almost all of the other key characters are Han Chinese!
Cixi quickly turned her mind: "You mean, if the Han people still regard the Manchus as 'outsiders'......"
Speaking of which, stop talking. The next words, the royal sister hesitated, not knowing how to phrase them.
Guan Zhuofan picked her up: "Yes, Queen Mother Shengming!" If the Han people still regard the Manchu people as 'outsiders', why did the Han gentry spare no effort to drive the king, fight for the imperial court, and do their best? β
Cixi had already vaguely understood, Guan Zhuofan said a few words clearly, and when he heard it in his ears, he was really like Huang Zhong Dalu, deafening!
"The ministers are bold, and they say it strictly: if they really have any strange thoughts, not to mention taking advantage of the chaos, what to do to 'restore the world of the Han family';
"The minister asked the queen mother to make a comparison between the rebellion of the three feudatories and the rebellion of Hongyang: the Manchu and Han worked together to quell the chaos, how can this situation be imagined at the beginning of the country?"
Zhen shook his head, and the green silk rubbed, Guan Zhuofan felt that while the Queen Mother was speaking, she subconsciously "nodded deeply": "You are right, the situation at the beginning of the country and now is indeed very different!" β
"Yes, the situation on the side of the court is very different, and the situation on the side of the rebellious ministers and thieves is also very different. Wu Sangui rebelled, and he could also get a third prince of Zhu to use as a cover; When he arrived at Hong Xiuquan, he had to get a 'God Worship' to deceive people's minds - he is smart, the Queen Mother, please think about it: Hong Yang and his ilk, if they still talk about 'anti-Qing and Ming restoration', where will anyone take care of them? β
Cixi "nodded deeply" again, which made Guan Zhuofan's chest itch: "That's true." β
"At the beginning of the country, the Han people really regarded the Manchus as 'outsiders', and they had to 'let them be allowed to do so, but not to be known'. Therefore, when the descendants of Taizu are in the dynasty, they must rely on the Eight Banners, otherwise the foundation will be difficult to consolidate - the Eight Banners at that time were strong and could stand on it. Now, Eight Banners' body and bones have been empty, and their footsteps are floating, and they can't be relied on at all. β
"Now, since the Han people no longer regard the Manchu people as 'outsiders', then, the minister thinks, this means that the Han people are the same as the Manchus, and they can also be relied on for the love of Xinjue Luo's reign in the world - in this way, today the two palaces are hanging the curtain, and in the future, the emperor will be in power, neither can and why should he 'sell' the 'blindness' of the Manchu people? Queen Mother, please think about it, how many people are full? How many Han Chinese? Is it reliable to rely solely on millions of Manchu people who are useless, or is it reliable on the basis of 40,000 Manchu and Han people'? β
Guan Zhuofan's words were not high, but after the words fell, there seemed to be an aftermath.
He could feel the faint agitation of the ketones in his arms.
In the middle of the sound, Cixi said: "If you really want to do this, among the people, I'm afraid that some people are not happy, right?" β
Guan Zhuofan is secretly happy! The meaning in Sister Yu's words is that she has basically agreed with his statement, but she is worried that some people will oppose it.
Add a fire!
"Queen Mother Shengming, among millions of people, there are always a few confused. However, there is no need to worry about the Queen Mother! As long as the clan is perfunctory, it will be done-especially the close branch clan-in fact, they are all descendants of Taizu, related brothers and sisters, and share weal and woe, and it is precisely for them to do this for generations, 'Yongxi Zuoyin'! β
"Forever...... What the? β
"Uh...... Returning to the Queen Mother means 'good fortune and descendants'. β
"I hate it, what kind of text are you dropping with me!"
"Oops!"
At this sound, Guan Baylor was poked by the Queen Mother again.
