Chapter 104: The Price of Embarrassment

"It's fine when I come back, so I'll wait for you."

"I heard them say that she came for me, and she got into trouble herself."

"Don't get hurt, don't even think about what it has to do with you, her mother said, this is her own life......"

Guan Fengsheng's words were still echoing in his ears, Guan Tian's sad crying had been swinging, Guan Xuan had already cried and fainted, and when Li Xi took her away, she still held her sister's hand tightly.

Li Xi squatted in his yard, looking at the blue sky in a daze, a piece of paper in his hand swayed in the wind, it was Guan Yunniang's suicide note, she didn't know much, there were only three words on it: why.

"Why...... I have to ask why!? ”

The flavors were mixed, and they converged into a thick thing, wrapping Li Shi's heart like a lead ball.

He was annoyed, he should have felt Guan Yunniang's thoughts last night, she didn't regard herself as a life-saving benefactor, but as an explanation to her, thinking that she wanted to admit her to get started, and that style wanted to learn from Guan Yun to stay.

God is pitiful, the words she said when she rescued her can also make her taste that kind of meaning? This is Li Xian's helplessness again, is the estrangement of the times really so big?

If you think about it, it seems that it is indeed that big. What I am, everything is wrapped up in me, how can I understand it in the ears of girls in this era? But how could he have thought so much at the time, and hugged her on the back and comforted her, this is 1712, isn't it that the two sides have already had an in-depth communication in simple terms, and are still discussing whether the surname is compatible or not...... A girl of this age, it is not a big deal to love vanity, Li Xi does not blame her for the bracelet, only herself, how the affection in her heart turns, Li Xi does not care. What made him angry was that how to clarify the misunderstanding, she was going to seek death, and she relied on him whether she lived or died? How innocent is it...... Earlier, I pretended to be stupid and wiped the relationship with her, but I still couldn't dodge it.

In the end, he hated him and sought death without saying a word, why did he despise his surname so much? Before, Duan Hongshi said that the little woman threw herself into the well, and there were always people forcing her in front of her, but who forced her to come last night?

"Why...... Why ......"

He gritted his teeth.

"Because she's out of line, you won't admit her."

The old man's voice sounded, thinking about Cao Ying, Cao Ying arrived, it was Duan Hongshi.

"Where did she lose her course!? Where do I not want to ...... No, it has nothing to do with losing or not losing your temper! ”

Li Xian was so angry that he had a headache, and he didn't bother to greet his cheap master.

"What the teacher said is just the opinion of everyone, and it has nothing to do with the root of the matter, and it has nothing to do with what you think."

There is such a big movement in Zhuangzi, Duan Hongshi naturally can't close it anymore, and everything seems to be known.

"Teacher, are you going to say that she also died from the crowd......

Li Yan groaned weakly, this is an old tune, etiquette kills, and it is really extremely sharp.

"Yes, she was killed by those who would chew their tongues in the future, by the eyes of everyone who looked at her in the future, by you, and by the thief in her own heart."

Duan Hongshi's mouth was also very sharp, and he said that Li Yan was panting. In terms of personal feelings, Guan Yunniang's death did not touch him much, he was more worried about Guan Xuan's situation and the emotions of Guan Jia's parents. But what's worse is that the whole thing seems to be the biggest culprit, messy and tangled, depressed and indescribable.

Duan Hongshi was talking about his heartache and opened his mouth to argue, but the old man waved his hand, shook his head and said, "But in everyone's eyes, you and she are blameless, and they are all right." No one will accuse you of being ruthless, only sigh that her life is not good, no one will laugh at her for despising her life, only praise her for her chastity. ”

Li Shi said with difficulty: "This ...... That's not right......"

Of course not, he doesn't want a world like this!

Duan Hong sighed: "It seems that you haven't fully understood what you said for the teacher before." ”

He sat down next to Li Xi and also looked up at the blue sky.

"The price...... If you want to fight against the imperial court and the Taoist system, you have to pay the price, are you ready? ”

The familiar question shook Li Xi's stagnant mind, he exhaled a sullen breath and nodded sincerely: "I was wrong, teacher, I thought I was ready." ”

He thought that the danger he faced was only a sword and a gun, and the price was only his own head, which extended out, and the enemy only came from outside himself, but he did not think about it carefully, and the greater danger was in the hearts of everyone.

It's not that Li Xi didn't think about being a thief in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have made a fuss about the gold mine and the company, and he was careful to make the damage to the villagers as low as possible. But this is all concerned about the prestige of the Qing court and the braid. But I didn't notice the power of etiquette and religion in this era, and I didn't notice the small feet of women, this enemy, the lethality is no less than the authority of the imperial court, and it is even more difficult to be vigilant and guard.

"The teacher also said that you have a deep understanding of money, that is, capital, but you have not yet understood the way of heaven, that is, the human heart. Money is to the law, people's hearts are to Confucianism, where this people's heart goes, before you have erected an understanding like money, you have to guard against the rot like a wolf! ”

Duan Hongshi's posture seemed to be about to brainstorm with Li Xian again, and Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Teacher, the disciple is in a better mood, there is no need to comfort me in a different way." ”

Duan Hongshi shouted: "What do you do to care if you are in a good mood for the teacher?" Only by knowing its reason can it follow its heart and do its right, you listen well to the teacher! ”

Li Shi looked at Duan Hong blankly and got up, and secretly said that if it weren't for that braid, this cheap master would be an immortal.

"For the sake of the teacher, these few days of retreat and contemplation, although there is no gain in the way of heaven, but you have seen through one thing from your capital theory, a thing that you have been thinking about for more than ten years as a teacher."

Duan Hongshi's words made Li Xianzhen interested, a sage is a sage, holding his knife blank, he actually refined it into a treasure knife so quickly! What are you going to do this time?

"One of the Confucian laws has entered a predicament, and this predicament has been seen before the teacher, but I have never understood why."

Or why...... Li Xian thought to himself, this is to say, why was the Manchu Qing able to rule the Central Plains, and then create some "prosperous era of Kangqian", and then collapsed on the ground, becoming a caravan of the great powers one by one?

"After getting your theory of capital, I combed through the history for the teacher, and finally made a new discovery! One of these Confucianisms is inherently fighting against one of the capitals! ”

"The Western Regions achieved the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, that is, at that time, one of the capitals you mentioned, although far from having brains, the minions were at ease, connecting commercial goods, affecting the court, and creating a great cause in China!"

"Although the two Song Dynasty did not return to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the sea trade flourished, coupled with the endgame of the five dynasties, and the capital still had a place to move, which also made the two Song Dynasty have another prosperity."

"In the Yuan Dynasty, it was simply a collusion between bandits and businessmen, and it lost its Confucianism, and it was only supported by the law, and it was difficult for the law to withstand the struggle of capital, and the capital was also controlled by all the authorities."

"In the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism gained power, and the capital was blocked by Confucianism, and the authority of the law was held, which fulfilled the wish of Confucianism and the heart of the hero, but left the disaster of the collapse of the foundation."

"Then the Manchu ......"

In front of Li Shi, Duan Hongshi, of course, had no scruples about replacing "this dynasty" with "Manchu Qing".

"The Manchus learned a lesson from the Mongols, and on the program, they pulled Confucianism back, converged with the law, and suppressed capital as one. In the details, the loopholes of the Ming Dynasty have been repaired, and the law and capital have been more deeply linked. ”

Duan Hongshi's series of words made Li Xian nod more than once, that's it, the traditional Chinese Confucianism is a natural confrontation with capital. Otherwise, it would not be able to erase the differences between the various parts of China and solidify them into a large whole. However, in some specific periods, the primitive form of capital has a chance to breathe, which makes Chinese history show a colorful and bright color. Just like the Han and Tang dynasties operating the Western Regions, as well as the tangled and unspeakable history of the two Song Dynasty.

Confucianism's contribution to China was to create a unified empire, from the Qin dynasty down to the current Manchu Qing dynasty, all based on this blank. But the harm of Confucianism is also here, the blank is uniform, and the capital is flowing to find differences. When capital has shown its strength to advance toward the one it dominates, Confucianism encircles it. The stronger its power, the more crazy the suppression of Confucianism, when the outside world has been unified by capital and impacted towards China, this billet corresponds to the inside and outside, and there is no half of the power to resist. Even the billet with the essence precipitated by Huaxia was shattered in this impact, and the reorganization of the billet to adapt to capital was an extremely painful and long process.

But...... What is the point of reviewing this understanding? Looking at history with the confrontation between Confucianism and capital, what is special about the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

Duan Hongshi said in a deep voice: "Today's predicament is the result of Confucianism getting two supreme magic weapons in the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" ”

Li Xian glared, relying on the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Knife?

"In the past, Confucianism has never really achieved its goal: to make the world full of people who are cultivating and fighting, to dominate the affairs of the country with scholars, and the Son of Heaven to rule with the arch, and the merchants to live only in the last place, and the goods to be traded or not."

The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered China and brought two magic weapons, which solved the two fatal problems of Confucianism. This solidifies the whole body and binds the terrain! ”

Duan Hongshi's foil, Li Shi was already itching to hear it, this is exactly why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to win the world, why it was able to rule the world, and why it could be regarded as Zhengshuo by the world and even future generations.

"This first thing is violence! Absolute violence! The dependence of law is violent, used by the monarch without permission, and subject to the constraints of Confucianism. The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered China as a foreign race, sticking to the inheritance of their own race, and the Manchus and Hans were separated. Jun is the king of China, but he is also the chief of the Yi tribe. Violence is beyond reproach! Because he is violent as a chieftain, the Confucianism of China can't control him! Such violence is precisely the supreme power of the Fa. ”

Duan Hongshi's words, Li Xiande turned around in his mind to translate, simply put, the violence held by the Manchu emperor is violence that is not condemned, and the king has absolute power, and violence is not condemned by any kind, which is the ideological foundation of Legalism. Before the Manchu Qing Dynasty, except for the Mongol Yuan, the empires established by the Han people were all under the same bloodline, and the king of the Han people could not hold uncondemned violence, otherwise it would be Xia Wei Shang.

This is indeed the Heavenly Sword, and the violence is also theoretically based, no wonder the Tartar shaving order, even the descendants of Kong Sheng were sent down, and no one dared to speak out of the Manchu Dynasty "Confucianism", this is not just afraid of the blade, but there is a "reason". Thinking about it a little deeper, the succession of the kings of the previous dynasties was influenced by the scholars, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty became a family affair of the Son of Heaven.

This is the case with the Fa, but what about Confucianism?

"The second thing is in Confucianism, the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave Confucianism the ultimate dream, Huayi! The so-called Yidi and Huaxia are also Chinese. Confucianism is introspective, has no external heart, is muddy, and does not know what to want. Now that the Manchu aliens have entered China, Confucianism naturally has foreign things in China. Compared to the emperor, it is a saint. Fengyi chief is a saint, if every minute of his words and deeds is to meet Confucianism, it is a great success of Confucianism, and it is Confucianism will Yidi Huaxia. The two generations of Yi chiefs of Shunzhi Kangxi are cunning, and they should strive to conform to Confucianism, in the hearts of the literati, how can it not be a great success in transforming Yi into a saint? As a result, the monarch and the ministers were enthusiastic, and the drama was sung particularly loudly. ”

This is a bit profound, and Li Xian scratched his head for a while before he roughly understood that this was saying that the literati actually regarded the Tartar Emperor as Yidi, and they were committed to making the Tartar Emperor "Sinicized", and once the Tartar Emperor showed something in line with Sinicization, they shouted their victory, and then gave all their loyalty and continued to devote themselves to this great and glorious and arduous task.

"In order to turn the Yi chief into a holy king, then you must first regard the Yi chief as a holy king, which is called establishing the truth with falsehood. The king is a holy king, the minister is a loyal minister, the woman is a temperate woman, and the son is a filial son. The monarch and the minister are more prominent than the previous dynasties, because this is the necessary way to transform into a saint, and the transformation of the saint is equivalent to the transformation of the emperor, so the science ...... It will be so respected in the Manchu Qing at this time. ”

"In order to prove the success of their own transformation, the literati at this time hated to be filial piety all over the place, everyone was martyred, and the persecution of etiquette and religion was prosperous, which has not been seen in previous dynasties, this is all the performance of the literati and the Yi chieftain who are embarrassed to annihilate, and it seems to be true and false! They sang duet on stage, but the grass people paid for their flesh and blood. ”

No wonder Kangxi is bent on creating "benevolent government", it turns out that the roots are all here. Speaking of etiquette, Li Xian thinks of small feet, and speaking of which, the rejection of Guan Yunniang also comes from these little feet. The full tartar can keep the head without hair, but there is no way to keep the head without binding the feet. Originally, Li Xi still felt weak-hearted, after all, this was a bad habit of the Han people, but now it seems that it is just the result of the echo of the literati and the Manchus. The literati wanted to give the Manchu Tartars a prosperous era of rituals and religion to prove their success, and the Manchu Tartars also inserted from brute force to nine shallow and one deep teasing. And this foot binding is the inevitable result of the Institute of Science and Etiquette, and Guan Yunniang's death is like the foot binding, she has been destroyed early on.

Speaking of this, Li Xi was also empowered and understood thoroughly. In short, Confucianism had to rely on foreign slavery to achieve their ultimate aspirations! It is also by relying on foreign enslavement that China has truly become a solidified empire, which is really a ridiculous and real paradox...... Duan Hongshi brought the topic back to the moment: "The Rite Church is so poisonous, and it is two sides of the fundamental unity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This is how the Confucian dilemma comes from. ”

He looked at Li Xian, and his tone was very heavy: "Who killed Guan Yunniang?" Why is the human heart so distorted? Who is to blame? ”

Li Xian's heart relaxed, and the heavy knots completely dissipated.

"There are two murderers, one is a Manchu Tartar, and the other is all Han people who do not oppose the Manchus."

It seems to have come full circle, returning to the same place that could not be clearer. But it was this circle that made Li Xian's hatred of the Manchu Qing Dynasty go by, and it was sublimated from the original emotional surname to a pure surname.

At the moment he had a strong urge to go back to 2012 and make some changes to his posts on the Internet. Before, he was blushing and waving his fist and shouting without explanation, but now he can smile and wave and say listen to me slowly.

"Now that you know what kind of enemy you're up against, it's time to know what you're going to pay, right?"

Duan Hongshi's question, Li Xian nodded firmly, of course, facing a pair of embarrassment, the price to pay, including the hearts of the people that he couldn't control. He must not only watch out for the braids in people's hearts, but also watch out for the little feet in people's hearts.

"I've paid the price, and now, they have to pay too!"

When he looked at Duan Hong, the murderous aura was steaming and rolling in the pupils of his eyes.

"That Tartar slave named Zheng Qi, I want him dead!"
