Chapter 39 Think twice

When Yang Du said that it was not a weapon, Yang Rui thought of another thing, that is, is this militarism? It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it on closer inspection, the first one does not promote racism, the second does not call for aggression against other countries, and the third does not use military force. If everyone has integrity, does not follow the crowd, can be loyal to the country, respect others, have the courage to act, and are not afraid of death, it is naturally good, even if people are not equal......

"Prime Minister, Du is wrong," Yang Du said suddenly: "Since it is centered on honor, then the discretionary reduction of points is an insult to the doctor, so as long as the hereditary title is enough, nothing else needs to be taken care of." ”

"Hehe, even the minus points are saved." Yang Rui couldn't help laughing and said: "Then let me ask you, scholars may understand this matter, but what about those ordinary people who can't read big characters, they also know loyalty, respect, bravery, and death?" ”

Yang Rui's question was in Yang Du's arms, and he said loudly: "My lord, this is the benefit of retaining the emperor!" How do the people know about nationalism, patriotism, and nationalism, they only know the emperor. If there is no emperor in the imperial court, there will be no peace in the world; If there are villains and traitors around the emperor, then everyone's life will not be easy. The best and most important thing that the revival will do is to use the emperor to unite the people's hearts, which is the foundation of China's stability. Whoever moves this article will bring disaster to the country and the people!

Unity can be self-reliant, self-improvement can be rich, to achieve unity is the most basic is to have a center of gravity, a world recognized by the 'one', only this 'one' exists, then the whole country can be one. At present, what is being practiced in our country is actually a hypocritical constitutional system. Because there is a king, the people are stable. Because of Junxu, all walks of life are satisfied. It's the best of both worlds!

In the turbulent times of a strong country, if we want to seek prosperity and strength, the spirit of the great doctor must be rebuilt, and now the constitution has given up the possibility of the bureaucracy, people have truly become people, the national sovereignty is completely owned by the people, the prime minister is elected by the people, and the parliamentarians are also elected by the people, and this spirit of the great doctor must be rebuilt. but to rebuild. Isn't it the best of both worlds for a scholar to make him loyal to the country, and for the people to be loyal to the king?

All the government has to do is to publicize the honor of the great doctors, confer titles on those who pass the qualifications, and then send people to urge them to behave. For example, a person who has been awarded the title of Doctor can be given a royal sword, a plaque on the door of his residence, a set of dresses, and a sword to carry with him. Give it a few more privileges, and most of the thing will be done, and it will not cost much silver, just like a medal in the army. ”

What Yang Du said is true. However, hearing that he asked for privileges, Yang Rui said: "Actually, I see that responsibility and rights are equal. Since the doctors and scholars have all repaid the country with death, it is only natural that they should be given special privileges. Man has a completely irrational side. But he disregarded reason, but the state could not be without reason. Shy son. The idea of this thing is very good, but there are still three problems that have not been solved, and if these three problems are solved, then this value can be pushed forward. ”

"What are the three other problems?" Yang Du was very happy to see that the plan was sold, and hurriedly asked the following.

"First, the Ministry of Rites is under the jurisdiction of Uncle Mei, whether he recognizes this set of things or not, especially if it also makes privileges, nobles, etc., Uncle Mei may not agree. He was a populist, and he was very opposed to the representative election of legislators when he first started. It is believed that whether it is Western Europe or Japan, when the representative system is implemented, it is a feudal society, which restricts the removal of aristocratic privileges and protects the rights of the people, so this representative system is feasible;

And in our country, the feudal system began to collapse from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no longer any feudal system at all, only the county system and bureaucratic system. Judging from the Manchu Qing Congress, China's implementation of the representative system is actually a new aristocratic class, and the elected officials are still some abolished officials and gentry, which is to rely on the rights of the people, not to extend the rights of the people. If you mention the spirit of nobility now, he will not agree. ”

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the spirit of the Great Master was originally to go back 2,000 people to rebuild the culture of the Warring States Period, which is the same as the quintessence of nationalism to carry forward the culture of the pre-Qin and ancient times. Let's talk about this aristocratic ......," Yang Rui considered, "Lord Zhang has always admired the spirit of chivalry, but this chivalrous man has lost his livelihood and has been transformed by the spirit of a great man, so he has a noble character, believes in his words, and must be fruitful in his deeds, and besides, honor is self-controlled, not a bully, and Lord Zhang will definitely not oppose advocating this spirit." ”

"That's good!" Yang Rui nodded, feeling that what Yang Du said was indeed the truth, and then continued: "This second, or the detailed rules for the implementation of this master, what is a doctor?" Who judges? How is it judged? How is it supervised? As long as one of them goes on a business trip, the whole system will be completely destroyed. ”

Yang Rui suddenly thought of IS0 certification, which was originally a very good thing, but it was actually made rotten, which shows the strong corrosiveness of the Chinese people. No matter how good the doctor's intentions are, if the certification and supervision system is not perfect, it will still be corroded in the end.

"This ......, this is not a problem, only if you can do two, then this can be done." Yang Du said.

"Do those two?" Yang Rui asked curiously.

"The first is that the government cannot judge or supervise it, so it can truly be everlasting." Yang Du said. "The second is that the number of people who have been ordained as a doctor cannot exceed three thousand, and the quota is never full, and there will always be only about two thousand, and one-third of the vacancies. But in addition to these, there can also be many great masters who do not have titles, such as students in the university hall, who can be given swords to encourage them to become great masters, and if they are in good conduct, they can be given a second-class title as an honor after death, but this cannot be hereditary. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Du paused for a moment and then said: "The simple title cannot be hereditary, and his son can only accept the second-class title, but it is one level higher than that of the students in the university hall, if there is no special ......meritorious service, Yang Du paused again, and said: "This is not right, if it is really decided whether it is sealed or not, it will not make some snobs again, this is not good!" It's not good! ”

"Haha......" Looking at Yang Du's appearance, Yang Rui smiled: "You can think about this matter slowly." Whether it is a doctor or not is to be recognized by the people, and it has little impact if he is sealed or not. The key lies in the hearts and minds of the people. I will continue to talk about the third question: Where the system is reformed, such as Confucianism and Wuxu reform. It's all about someone going to the book to create momentum. This is how we can ...... It's not right," Yang Rui suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he just said: "Before this book is published, the people need to build momentum, Huangzi, after you improve this set of things, publish an article in the name of a private person in the Imperial Daily, if it is recognized by the society, then it is not too late to discuss the book."

At present, the concept of liberal democracy in the West has penetrated greatly. What is liberal democracy is actually individualism; And what is individualism, there is legal supervision in the country, that is, there is no shame, no moderation, and utilitarianism that does not care about others; Without legal supervision abroad, there is no colonialism and white supremacy where there is no good or evil, no humanity, and bullying the weak.

The Confucian set of things died at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the gentry in the late Ming Dynasty were already like that. Now the Ministry of Rites is making a sound movie, which is to refute these people. Your argument can be used to attack this kind of utilitarianism with the slogan of freedom and democracy from another side, and it can be regarded as helping the government. But that's what I'm saying, if the spirit of the doctor is not recognized by the people. The government won't advocate it. ”

"Yang Du understands." Seeing that the prime minister jumped out of his own demagoguery, Yang Du was different in his heart, but he still had deep confidence in the world's acceptance of the spirit of the great doctor, although the article could only be published in his personal name, but he was an official himself. The president of the Inspectorate of Suspicion, this is one of the few officials in China. But thinking of the advocacy, Yang Du's eyes rolled. Again, "There is a reluctant request." ”

"What more do you want?" Yang Rui looked at him and smiled.

"I want to invite Liang Zhuoru to the capital. He is a master of advocacy, and he is indispensable for this matter. "As soon as Yang Du exited, he was a thousand-year-old monster. It only made the great leader chuckle in his heart.

"Liang Zhuoru? Hmph...... "Yang Rui smiled, he thought of some old historical things, this Liang Qichao is the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, he will not use it, and said at the moment: "I don't care who you invite, that's your private matter." But as long as I live for a day, Liang Qichao will not want to enter the government as an official, this person's character is so bad, hehe...... is still good! ”

Kang Youwei is already a traitor, especially this time he bewitched the Manchu restoration and became infamous through the ages. After the signing of the Sino-Japanese treaty, these Manchu widows were stranded in the Tianjin Concession, and were later extradited by the Ministry of Industry at the request of the Inspectorate. Although the foreigners sheltered the political criminals, these people were not political criminals who could only make grand arguments, these people were all thieves who colluded with the invading army of the imperial enemy country, and Chinese and foreign countries could not accept this, plus Britain and France and other countries begged China to save a breath of vitality for Japan, that is, they agreed to extradite.

In order to show mercy, Pu Wei and other Manchus were exempted from capital crimes by Zhu Kuansu's decree, and sent back to Northeast China for residential surveillance and house arrest for life; Kang Youwei's behavior happened to expose the ugliness of Confucianism and did not kill them, but he asked them to confess their sins and carry out ideological reform, so as to break the foundation of Confucianism and let the world see that Confucianism's private virtue is only for the king, not for the country, and is actually a person who deceives the world and steals fame and only seeks fame and fortune. However, Kang Youwei is stupid and loyal to the end, and he is only willing to admit the crime of rebellion and Confucianism, so in the end, he was extremely kind and did not kill, and he was also under house arrest for a lifetime.

Kang Youwei has a better impression of such a chaotic country in the mind of the prime minister than Liang Qichao, and a cold sweat rose on Yang Du's back, but fortunately, Yang Rui had no other restrictions, but he was not allowed to be an official, and he immediately said 'understand' and went out.

More than half a month later, an article written by Major General Cai Yi, director of the Army Reserve Bureau, entitled "Military Nationalism and the Jiayin War" was published in the China Times; A few days later, signed by Yang Du, entitled "Dafu and Shidafu: Cultural Recasting in the Warring States Period" was published in the Imperial Daily; At a time when public opinion was hotly discussing the difference between 'Dafushi' and 'Shidafu', Liang Qichao's signed article "On the Spirit of Martial Arts Again" was published on the front page of the Shanghai Times, adding the discussion of 'Dafushi' and 'Shidafu'. However, he is completely an outsider, only talking about the martial spirit, but the article inevitably mentions Yang Du's concept of honor and the four principles of 'loyalty, respect, bravery, and death'.

Although Liang Qichao was not an official, he was lost before the collapse of the Manchu Dynasty, and after the Sino-Japanese war, he advocated Sino-Japanese cooperation, and his reputation was already stinky, but he didn't want to not only save the danger these two times, but also his reputation actually rose, which really made Wang Xiaolin of the Ministry of Rites sigh that this person is really a good fate. He was also not in Taiwan at this time. Instead, he went to the Shanghai Concession and went south and north with his apprentice Cai Yi. The martial spirit is here. Of course, their advocacy is basically for Yang Du to build momentum. This couldn't help but make Yang Rui, who saw the newspaper, wonder what benefits Yang Du promised them, which made Liang Qichao and his gang work so hard.

"Sir, it seems that Liang Zhuoru has received some donations in Taiwan, and then recruited some former Qing congressmen, such as Tang Hualong, Wang Yitang, Zhou Ziqi, Wang Yinchuan and others, as well as some early students studying in Japan, such as Lin Changmin, Zhang Dongsun, Jiang Baili, Zhang Junli, etc., they are preparing a political party called the Progressive Party, and intend to occupy a number of seats in the next congressional election." Wang Xiaolin is in charge of propaganda. He knows better what is going on in the circle. "I'm afraid there are some deals between Yang Du and them, otherwise these people wouldn't have worked so hard to advocate the spirit of the great doctor."

"This Yang Huizi!" Hearing that Liang Qichao had gathered so many people, including celebrities such as Tang Hualong, Wang Yitang, Lin Changmin, Zhang Dongsun, and Jiang Baili, Yang Rui couldn't help but hate Yang Du in his heart, and suddenly thought of Jiang Baili again, he said: "Isn't this Jiang Baili an instructor at the Army University, why was he also dragged into it?" ”

"Sir, you don't know, this Jiang Baili is the same as Cai Songpo. is Liang Zhuoru's beloved apprentice, and he treats Liang Fengzhi like a father, and their relationship is extraordinary. Wang Xiaolin said. Is Wen Xuan here going to accuse these people? ”

"Control zhì?" Yang Rui shook his head, "These bastards are all in the concession. Only write articles and don't rebel, how can you control it? This concession is a place of filth and filth, and it is the focus of national attention. If it is not recovered, the whole country will be in chaos. ”

Yang Rui, who was hiding in Shanghai to command the revolution before, began to talk about the bad things about the concession because of the change in the place where his butt was sitting. Wang Xiaolin thought that he was also contemplating, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He said, "What about the mail road?" Isn't it ......"

"I can only control the postal route. In fact, the postal road is not very useful. Liang Qichao and these people only promote their own set of things in foreign trade ports, and then there are some inland cities. But his comrades have a lot of money, and it is okay to find someone to transport the newspapers inland, and we can't search everyone's luggage. Yang Rui said. Let them make trouble, less than 5 percent, then don't think about going to the Inspector's Institute. ”

"The student understood." Wang Xiaolin said.

"And how's the movie going?" Yang Rui turned to think of the reason why Wang Xiaolin was summoned, in fact, it was for a movie. The movies in the notebook were all shot with a black and white camera, and this time it was handed over to Wang Xiaolin that was a later movie of the Ming Dynasty, but this was not a master disk, so I had to find someone to reshoot it.

"This ...... Sir, the actors, scenes, props, scripts, shooting, these are all no problem, the directors are those who have made military films before, they have a lot of experience, and the military planes and airships are all supporting, and the film is almost finished, that is... It's just that ......" wrote a lot of novels about movies, and those things made Wang Xiaolin quickly become the three knives of the movie, talking about things one by one.

"What's it? Isn't there enough money? Yang Rui asked.

"No, it's not that there isn't enough money." Wang Xiaolin said, "Sir, there is Emperor Chongzhen in this Great Ming Tribulation, and the movie is just a few scenes in the Jinluan Palace, which is to be filmed in the Forbidden City, not for me to do." Also, it is the image of Emperor Chongzhen in the movie...... It's not too right. ”

"It's okay if it's not dark, if it really doesn't work, just add some content, and say that Sun Chuanting was imprisoned because of traitors." Yang Rui said, he knew that the director of the Film Bureau under the Ministry of Rites was completely stupid after watching the movies of later generations, and he didn't dare to change the original work at all, "Xiaolin, remember, the purpose of this film is to highlight those unscrupulous gentry, who occupy the land, let the people starve to death, the bandits follow the bandits, and the army goes out to fight with no food, and has no pay. Although the fall of the Ming Dynasty is a natural disaster, it will not come to that point without the ** caused by these gentry stealing and occupying military camps and annexing acres. This whole film is driven towards this theme. ”

"The students understand that the gentry filmed now are even worse than the original work, but there is still a ...... in the Jinluan Palace and Emperor Chongzhen. Sir, if this movie is going to be released at the end of the year, then you have to talk to the Forbidden City quickly. Wang Xiaolin said.

"Good! I'll go into the palace in a moment to give you a message, so that your people can go in and make a movie. Yang Rui said.

Yang Rui thought that he would just find a palace and shoot it, but he didn't want those people from the Film Bureau to have to go to the Forbidden City to shoot, was he afraid that Zhu Kuanji would be angry? Yang Rui thought about this, and just asked Li Zilong to find time to prepare to go to the Forbidden City. I didn't want Zhang Taiyan to come. He glanced at Wang Xiaolin angrily, and then slammed several stacks of newspapers on the table. Qi said: "Actually, what is going on with this Yang Huizi?" ”

"What's going on?" Yang Rui waved his hand and sent Wang Xiaolin away. poured Zhang Taiyan a cup of tea.

"What the hell is going on with this great gentleman's spirit?" Zhang Taiyan doesn't drink tea, he just wants to ask Ming Yang Rui's attitude.

"That's it." Yang Rui didn't pay attention to it at all, "Last month, Yang Huizi came to me and said that he wanted to promote the spirit of this great doctor, and I listened very well, but I felt that it was ......, and I couldn't say it, anyway, it felt a little wrong, and then I asked him to create public opinion first." If everyone agrees with this, then the government will preach that if everyone doesn't eat it, then it will be too much. ”

Hearing Yang Rui say that he felt that this thing was wrong, Zhang Taiyan's face was slightly better, and he said: "Yang Huizi's proposal seems to be for the country, but it is actually harmful to the country. Confucianism enslaves people with three outlines and five constants, and what honor does he use to bind people. What is an honor? Who is honored? He's going to put everyone in a different suit. ”

Zhang Taiyan's thoughts are inclined to Lao Zhuang. He does not want the human spirit to be constrained by any doctrine and morality, and he believes that the most precious thing about human beings is that they can feel nature and understand life without constraints, which is the preciousness of life. It is also the preciousness of all things. Yang Rui knew this, but he thought of the last time Yang Du said chivalrous, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Mei." Yang Huizi said that the spirit of chivalry is the spirit of the doctor. Could it be that there is something wrong? ”

"He's using strong words. The great man dies for honor, and the chivalrous man dies for righteousness. Honor is for oneself and righteousness is for others, how can these two kinds of death be compared? Zhang Taiyan said angrily, "Preaching the great doctor will eventually make everyone a reckless man who doesn't know what life is, and only knows how to sell his reputation and reputation." There are so many people in the country that sooner or later they will be reckless in military force, and they will die in war. ”

"But at least it unites the people and knows that they are loyal to the country, which is what we want." Yang Rui said.

"But what is a country? Isn't this country made up of thousands of people? Let everyone not be shackled, understand the preciousness of life, and let everyone truly become a human being, this is the real protection of the family and the country. Zhang Taiyan said.

"What if the enemy comes?" Yang Rui was very annoyed when he saw that he was always talking about life, and he learned Yang Du's words: "Confucius said, if you don't know life, how can you know death?" This should be said the other way around, how can you know life if you don't know death? If the people do not have the belief to die, how can they understand the preciousness of life. ”

"It's a fart!" Zhang Taiyan wanted to hit the table with a fan, but the force was too strong, and the fan didn't know where to throw it, he said: "If a person doesn't know the preciousness of life and doesn't know what life should be, how can he defend it with death?!" It's like a rich man with a lot of money, who is used to living a good life, and you ask him to beg for a few days, then it is better for him to die.

If we let the people know what it means to live and what it is precious, then when the enemy comes, in order to defend the preciousness of life and their own dignity, the people will rather die than give in, and regard death as home, which is to die for life. Isn't that the kind of unity you want? It is a culture of life, and Yang Huizi is talking about a culture of death, no matter how I look at it, there is a shadow of a virtuous person, don't believe him, cut off the original vitality. ”

"The culture of life ......, and the culture of death ......," Yang Rui understood what Zhang Taiyan meant, he actually wanted a small country and widows, but what he wanted was the unity of the whole country, "Uncle Mei, the war against Japan was won, but now the whole country is still on the edge of the cliff, and if you are not careful, you have to fall." If the whole nation is not united, then the country will not be restored. Even if it's bitter, it's only bitter for decades, and what you said can be practiced by the next generation. ”

"No way!" Zhang Taiyan regained his composure at this time, "Three years old sees old. If this country now embarks on the path of Yang Huizi, it will be extremely difficult to change it back in the future, even if it is to be changed, it is necessary to dismantle this country and recast it again, which is equivalent to doing everything we have done in vain. It is unprecedented, we must not make a mistake in every step, otherwise we will fall into the previous situation, and the revolution will be ruined in one fell swoop, and this delay can take hundreds of years to turn back, you must think twice. (To be continued......)
