"You're not afraid I'll cut off your head?"

Yang Feng asked curiously.

Standing in front of him was the middle-aged man Davis had seen at the dock, this person was very brave to go to the Divine Emperor Palace with braids on his head, and then asked for an audience in the form of a prayer post, because this kind of thing is very rare, after all, it takes considerable courage to dare to meet the Divine Emperor with his braids, so the guards of the Divine Emperor Palace hesitated for a moment and then asked the attendant officer by phone.

Because this person is still a lifter, this is even more unusual, so the attendant officer asked the chief attendant, and the god emperor who had just returned was reading the newspaper, so the attendant played the god emperor......

Well, it's also troublesome to see the God Emperor at this time.

After all, the God Emperor is also a great opportunity, the huge country needs to be governed, and generally there are no interested idlers who are interested in seeing them, but this person's name immediately aroused the interest of the God Emperor, and then he was allowed to meet him, saying that this person is actually quite unexpected, he didn't expect to see this legendary evil god emperor so easy, he didn't even need to go to the Ministry of Rites to perform the ceremony, I have to say that this kind of grass platform team is not regular. And the palace is actually a small garden, although the scenery is good, but it is not as big as the garden of Yangzhou salt merchants, which makes him even more stunned, just a small garden, and there is no eunuch, just a dozen big-footed women and a few guards standing guard, it is actually the Ming Dynasty Palace, this, this is simply unorthodox!

Tso......

Well, this is actually Zuo Zongtang.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are a cold Confucian, and non-officials and non-officials admit that they do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so why are you afraid of Your Majesty's axe?"

Zuo Zongtang, who is just thirty this year, said indifferently.

"Braids!"

Yang Feng sneered.

"There is a special permission from the Hengyang Military Management Committee!"

Zuo Zongtang immediately took out the road guide he applied for in the Hengyang Military Management Commission as a northern businessman, and it did carry a braided license valid for half a year, which was necessary for northern businessmen to Daming, and it was all valid for the period, and once the police found that the overdue person would be arrested.

"You're lifting, aren't you?"

Yang Feng smiled and said.

"Exactly."

Zuo Zongtang admitted it calmly.

"Lifting people is also eating Tartar Lu, eating Tartar Lu is a traitor, and the traitor of the Han nationality can of course be killed if he is a traitor."

Yang Feng said.

"Then, the grass people are waiting to be killed."

Zuo Zongtang said.

"Forget it, since you have the road guide of the Hengyang Military Management Council, then you will be allowed to go to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming law does not prohibit people from being businessmen, and now you are here as a merchant in the captive realm, I still treat the merchants with courtesy, your traitor crime is temporarily put aside, and when the king Shi hits your house, now tell me why you came to see me?"

Yang Feng asked.

"The grass people have doubts in their hearts and want to ask Your Majesty for explanation."

Zuo Zongtang said immediately.

"Say."

Yang Feng said.

"Why is Your Majesty hostile to Confucianism?"

Zuo Zongtang plucked up his courage and said.

"Who told you that I was hostile to Confucianism, that a battlecruiser that had just entered service in the Navy was named Wang Shouren, and that you said that I was hostile to Confucianism? I am not hostile to Confucianism, Confucianism is not worthy of my hostility at all, the three religions and the nine streams of all schools of thought, except for those who preach heresy and evil gods dare to disrespect Haotian God, I am not hostile to any other thought, Confucianism is the same, but Confucianism is only the same as others. As for the people I punish, who shout loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but in fact they are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, it has nothing to do with whether they are Confucian or not, they are guilty of the indoctrination of Haotian God. And the Confucian students who have truly achieved loyalty, I will also praise them, such as Shi Kefa, He Tengjiao, Ma Shiying, these people are also in the Ming Dynasty Loyal Ministers Record, and even in the future, I will build a monument in Nanjing, and engrave their names on the monument to enjoy the admiration of future generations.

But these are also irrelevant to whether they are Confucian scholars or not.

On behalf of the world, I reward the good and punish the evil, reward the loyal and punish the traitorous, the loyal and righteous are rewarded, and the traitors and villains are punished, everything is in accordance with the principles of heaven and does not care about their origins, and they will not care what kind of ideas they believe.

But Chen Mingxia's water is too cold and the like must be included in the list of traitors.

You have to understand a little bit.

I represent the God of Haotian.

All the sons of you mortals are the same with me.

I only practice the teachings of God Haotian.

And not some Confucianism of you mortals. ”

Yang Feng said.

Understood, Zuo Zongtang understood very well.

The meaning of this god emperor is already very simple, he is a god, what kind of Confucianism and the like are played by mortals, so he won't take it seriously! In other words, this is even more ruthless, this time Confucianism is trampled on the soles of his feet, his teachings are heavenly principles, that is, the supremacy overrides all thoughts, Confucianism is just a child's play, and he is not even qualified to be hostile to him, he doesn't care about Confucianism, as long as he doesn't challenge his teachings, dare to challenge his teachings, then heresy, which means that Confucianism has become dispensable under his rule and may even disappear directly.

Unless......

Unless reformed within the limits of his teachings.

It should be said that this is still a glimmer of leeway, if according to his teachings, within the scope of his limited Confucianism can still rely on transformation to survive, this is not too shameful, as a famous Confucian, Zuo Zongtang is still very clear that Confucianism originally stepped on the peak in this way, including the dominance of the science family was just catering to our Qing Dynasty.

It's just that in the past, it was to welcome back those monarchs and foreign rulers, but now it has been changed to cater to the god emperor.

Of course, that's what happens ideologically.

Everyone understands that this thing is just a stepping stone, interests are the most important, Zuo Zongtang can come to see Yang Feng, originally hoping to find a holy lord Mingjun, and then he can achieve a career here like those ancient names in the legend. After all, he has not been admitted for almost ten years, seeing that the old acquaintances of his peers are all high school one by one, and he can only send people to be a teacher under the fence, he is also eager to achieve a career, and it is not bad to try here if the court can't get through, especially the Ming army is separated from his house in Changsha, obviously with his mind, he also knows that our Qing Dynasty can't keep Hunan. So he also has a certain amount of mental preparation to compromise and seek perfection, he is actually not burdened, his family is just enough to support himself, although his in-laws are the governor of Liangjiang, but they are already dead, and his in-laws are still baby relatives, his daughter and Tao Shu's son are not yet adults! In his thoughts, he does not have much baggage, if he can compromise and endure humiliation, so that Confucianism can continue......

Well, when he thought about it, he felt so much greater.

"Your Majesty, since it is to reward the good and punish the evil, and to reward the loyal and punish the traitorous, we should also focus on benevolence, clarify the master and slave, and give people the opportunity to reform themselves in order to show the mercy of God. How can those who raise tribute but are not officials be equated with officials? Besides, even if one person is guilty, how can his family be innocent? Wherever His Majesty's army went, he punished officials, arrested gentry, confiscated his property, exiled his relatives, and the sound of mourning shook the heavens. Your Majesty saves the people on behalf of the heavens, and it should be the light of spring, so that the common people can be bathed in the mercy of heaven, why is it the scorching sun of summer, so that the people are exposed to the heat? ”

Zuo Zongtang said.

"Wailing? How do I hear all the cheers? Chunhui? Don't the people of these two provinces think that they are bathing in the spring sun? ”

Yang Feng said.

"Obviously, you don't know enough about Daming, I think you should continue to see more in Daming, I'll give you half a year, and send you a road guide, you can go to Daming anywhere except the military forbidden area, after half a year, if you still have this current view, then you don't have to see me go home by yourself, if you change your opinion after half a year, you can come here to see me again."

Then he said.

He gave an eviction order, Zuo Zongtang naturally retired with great interest, and an attendant led him to handle a new road guide, so that he could conduct a more in-depth investigation in Daming, with this new road guide, that is, some people would not let him visit under normal circumstances, such as factories, he can also go in, so that he can feel the strength of Daming more directly.

As for Jinyiwei, you don't have to follow!

Emperor Yang had already rebuilt the Jinyi Guard, which actually served as the duties of the NKVD, and even the badge was the kind of sword and shield he had used before.

In other words, Zuo Zongtang is still worth saving, after all, he is really talented, and his background is not so complicated, so small that he can be completely ignored as a small landlord, who has not been admitted for nearly ten years, the only special thing is that there is a dead Liangjiang Governor in-law, and Hu Linyi has a deep old friendship, but his daughter Zuo Xiaoyu is only eight years old, and Tao Wei is only twelve, so this is not a tie, as for the old friend or something, it is not worth mentioning, in short, he is the only one who has the potential to join the people's arms.

But if he can still say the sound of wailing and shaking the sky after half a year, then this person really has a bad conscience, and there is no need to rescue him at all.

If he can change his understanding, then he can still reuse it, not to mention anything else, it is no problem to let him go to a certain place as a governor in the future, according to the current situation, there is inevitably a mess, especially during this time, the green battalion there has appeared on the battlefield, and the defense of the Qing army there is already very empty. And Zhang Ge had already made trouble once before, this fire was not completely extinguished, in fact, they were always looking for opportunities, and the Qing army was all pressed on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, which undoubtedly gave them an excellent opportunity, if they didn't do it, it would be abnormal.

In other words, Yang Feng found that this problem really needs to be seriously considered, and he has to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and he can't let that side make trouble anymore.

But he can't change the established strategy either.

So......

"It seems that the plan for the battle of Beijing needs to be changed!"

The God Emperor said with a deep face.
