    The autumn nights are getting colder day by day. The streets from Changsha Xuegongping in the southwest corner of Changsha City to Gongmen Main Street are full of temporary shacks for refugees. A few simple bamboo poles and wooden sticks hold up a  A worn-out straw mat or homespun cloth can serve as a shelter from wind and rain.  Along the way, people on both sides escaping from the war lit bonfires under their shacks. On the fire were old pots and pans, in which rice grains distributed by the Taiping Army were cooked. There was a strong aroma of rice along the way.

    Hong Yun'er led Li Xuanji, Yang Dongqing and other female soldiers to the side door of the academy. Looking up through the light of the common people's bonfire, she saw a stone arch standing tall here, with the big inscription "Daoguan Ancient and Modern" written on it.  With four big characters, the archway should have been built in the early Ming Dynasty and has an obvious style of the times.  The building is made of wood, with three rooms, four columns and five floors, yellow glazed tiles, Ruyi brackets, thirteen steps in the bright room, nine steps in the middle room, and five steps in the middle with a small roof.  Each square is decorated with eight stone monsters.  The four Tianlu in the center are draped in lins and swaying their tails, with long necks and sharp claws; the four on both sides are evil spirits, with angry eyes and twisted necks, giving them a strange appearance.  The stone beasts in each room looked ferocious under the light of the fire, as if they were glaring at the cowardly and miserable refugee people in front of them.

    "This is the Confucian Temple in Changsha." Hong Yun'er sighed softly, and whispered to herself in a faint voice: "The Taoism has been the best in ancient and modern times, and the ideas of the saints are the best in ancient and modern times. It's a pity that the Taoism has changed today."  Yeah." She had been to Changsha before, but the Xiwen Temple no longer existed. Now she was immersed in it, as if she was in a dream.  In ancient times, the Confucian Temple was a place dedicated to Confucius. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Confucian Temple has been integrated with official studies, and the system of "left temple and right study" has been implemented. Therefore, the common people are accustomed to calling the Confucian Temple the Confucian Temple.

    Li Xuanji snorted softly beside her and said, "What Queen Xi Wang said is that this is the Changsha Official School and the Confucian Temple. My eldest brother studied here in the past. This is the Changsha Academy, which was first built in  During the Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by wars several times. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, the prefect Zhang Hongyou repaired the main hall and studios, rebuilt Chongsheng Temple and Jingyi Pavilion, built walls with cypress trees on the east and west verandas, and restored the old view. From the Kangxi to Daoguang years, the governor of Hunan  Zhao Shenqiao, Chen Hongmou, Wu Rongguang and others expanded the academy many times before we reached today's outlook."

    Hong Yun'er turned her head and looked at Li Xuanji. At this moment, she had wrapped her head in a red scarf, but she was still wearing a blue cloth shirt and lantern embroidered pants with lace. However, the clothes were a little damaged, but they could not hide her at all.  Hearing her talk about her charming face, and knowing all about Changsha Academy, he asked strangely: "Aren't you from Liuyang?"

    Li Xuanji bowed slightly and said, "My younger sister's family was originally well-off and she lived in Changsha City. She was from a scholarly family. Later, her family fell into decline and she had no choice but to return to her hometown in Liuyang."

    Hong Yun'er suddenly said: "It turns out that you come from a scholarly family. No wonder you are very knowledgeable and know a lot."

    Yang Dongqing interrupted: "Sister Xuanji is the most literate in our village. Several old gentlemen in the village cannot compare to her."

    Li Xuanji's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "Dongqing, don't talk nonsense. Queen Xi is a talented woman, so don't do whatever you want."

    Hong Yun'er smiled slightly and said: "There is no second in literature and martial arts. Sister Xuanji's family background must be unique, so there is no need to be too humble. Besides, if we are three people together, there must be my teacher. Maybe one day I will also learn from you."  Holly, please ask for advice.¡±

    Yang Dongqing¡¯s eyes widened and she asked curiously: ¡°You want to ask me, a country girl, for advice? Madam Xiwang, please don¡¯t belittle me.¡±

    Hong Yun'er and Li Xuanji looked at each other and smiled. As they were talking, they saw two of Xi Wang's personal swordsmen rushing over to report: "Xi Wang Niang, Xi Wang has returned to his residence. Please come back to Xi Wang Niang."  say."

    Hong Yun'er was still a little angry with Xiao Yungui. She cursed a few times in her heart, but she still nodded and said: "You go back first, I will go back to the house soon."

    After the two card swordsmen left, Hong Yun'er said to Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing: "You two, come back to your house with me. I don't have many people to talk to in my house." She really likes Li Xuanji, who is so cute.  She is a woman, and she is very knowledgeable, so she can be used as a confidant.  The two girls followed Hong Yun'er back home without doubting his presence.

    Returning to the mansion, I saw Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang eating in the hall. Xiao Yungui seemed to be very hungry, holding a big bowl and slicing rice into his mouth, but Zuo Zongtang had no time to take it easy and raised a bowl.  Sip slowly from the small glass.

    Seeing Hong Yun'er and other women arriving, Zuo Zongtang simply said they were Xiao Yungui's female relatives and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

    Hong Yun'er returned the courtesy slightly and said: "Mr. Zuo, you're welcome. Please sit down and take your time. Let's go back to the house to freshen up first."

    Xiao Yungui burped and said, "Have you eaten?"

    Hong Yun'er rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself that she was still speaking in such a vulgar manner. Seeing the presence of outsiders, she still endured it and replied softly: "We used it in the women's camp. King Xi, please accompany Mr. Zuo."  good."

    Xiao Yungui hummed, very satisfied with Hong Yun'er's humility.He said politely and loudly: "Come out after freshening up. Mr. Zuo has something to ask me."

    Hong Yun'er felt itching with hatred, but she didn't want her image of a lady to be ruined, so she could only hum softly, turned around and took Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing back to her house.  After walking only a few steps, Zuo Zongtang and Xiao Yungui heard comments in their ears, "The Queen of the West is so smart and smart, the King of the West is so lucky." "Haha, a country girl has no knowledge. She just laughs and laughs."

    Hong Yuner returned to the house angrily, scolding Xiao Yungui from the inside out.  Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing got soup. Seeing Hong Yun'er's face full of anger, Li Xuanji asked in a low voice: "Why is the Queen of the West unhappy? Didn't Mr. Zuo praise you?"

    Yang Dongqing interjected: "I know, the Queen of the West is angry with the Prince of the West for saying that the Queen of the West is a country girl."

    Li Xuanji hurriedly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, Dongqing, Prince Xi's words are modest."

    Hong Yun'er snorted and said: "That's what he thinks. He only hurts me with his words. You two should freshen up. I want to see what they are going to say later." After that, she washed her hands and  His face still smelled bad and he kept mumbling curses.

    After freshening up, Hong Yun'er felt much refreshed. At this moment, she noticed that the wound on her leg was aching. She had to roll up her trouser leg and saw that the wound was a little open. She thought it was caused by walking too much today.  If it relapses, I immediately take out the medicine for scarring, apply it, and wrap it again with gauze.

    Li Xuanji looked at the wound and was slightly surprised: "Mother of the West, are you injured?"

    Hong Yun'er raised her head and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it was stabbed by a clear demon's spear. It was just a superficial wound. Let's go out."

    The three girls returned to the hall. Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang had already finished their meal and had put away the food. They were serving tea in the hall. Seeing the three girls arriving, Xiao Yungui stood up with a smile and greeted them.

    At this time, Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing also freshened up and looked even more beautiful. Xiao Yungui took a closer look and was slightly shocked. Just now, the lights were dim and he couldn't see the two women's faces clearly. Now they saw it clearly. Xiao Yungui couldn't help but feel  I was stunned, there were three beauties in front of me, each with their own merits.

    Li Xuanji suddenly saw the rough-looking King Xi staring at her. She felt a little panicked and hurriedly lowered her head.  Hong Yun'er also noticed something was wrong. Seeing his lustful look, she became even more angry. She coughed heavily and said, "King Xi, I wonder if Mr. Zuo has anything to ask?"

    Only then did Xiao Yungui come back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said with a dry smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I recruited Mr. Zuo, but Mr. Zuo said that we believe in foreign religions, which are different from the Chinese language, so I ask you to clarify my confusion.  two."

    Hong Yun'er sneered in her heart. This unlearned bastard really wanted something from her. She wanted to leave in a hurry, but thinking of Zuo Zongtang's talent, it would be a great good thing to recruit him. Now  He bypassed Xiao Yungui and walked to Zuo Zongtang, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Zuo, in that case, let's sit down and talk slowly." After that, he asked Zuo Zongtang to sit down and talk.

    Xiao Yungui laughed a few times, returned to his seat and sat down, only to hear Hong Yun'er say: "We worship God in God's religion, and there is also a word of God in the teachings of foreigners. Mr. Zuo has studied ancient and modern times, so he knows the word God.  origin?"

    Zuo Zongtang pondered and said: "God is the most honorable person in the sky. It is said in "Shang Shu¡¤Zhao Gao": The emperor and heaven God changed the order of Yuan Zi, the great country of Yin. There is nothing more respected by people than the emperor, entrusted to heaven,  Therefore he is called God.¡±

    Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "Yes, in the "Book of the Five Emperors" written by Tai Shigong in the past, it was also said that Shun was at the Jade Scale to unify the seven political affairs. So he was like God, he was greedy for the six sects, he looked at the mountains and rivers, and he was arguing.  Group of gods. Bowing to the five auspicious signs, choosing an auspicious month and day, seeing all the herdsmen of the four mountains, Ban Rui. God has been mentioned in Confucian teachings for a long time, and there is also a word in Taoism: Taishang opens the sky, holds the talisman, and controls the calendar, containing the true body of the Taoist Haotian Jade Emperor.  God¡¯s words. In fact, God has been visited by our ancestors for a long time, and it is not unique to foreign doctrines. And I, the King of Heaven, also said in the "Yuan Dao Jue Shi Xun" as early as: Looking at the annals of Chinese history, from Pangu to the three dynasties, the monarch and the people are one.  , all worship the Emperor God. The God we worship has the same origin as the ancient Chinese God, so why is it different from the Chinese language?"

    Xiao Yungui was overjoyed, clapped his thigh and said: "I remember the King of Heaven seemed to have said that our ancestors believed in this God. Yun Xuanjiao is right, our God has existed since ancient times and is not unique to foreigners.  "

    Zuo Zongtang frowned and said: "Although the name of God is the same, our Confucianism also has God. Why were all the Confucian temples destroyed when your army came along the way?"

    Xiao Yungui snorted, and Hong Yun'er took a sip of tea and said with a leisurely smile: "Since Confucius preached Taoism and established the sect, the God respected by Confucianism is the one respected by people, and nothing is more respected than the emperor. He is entrusted to heaven, so he is called God."  . Confucianism has more words: Heaven sent down the people to be kings and teachers, but they were said to help God and favored the four directions. These were originally nothing wrong, but when the Qin Dynasty came out, they opened up the ranks of gods and weird things, and arrogantly called them  The emperor will??From this moment on, the Confucian God has changed.  "

    Zuo Zongtang was surprised and said: "Why did the Queen of the West say this?"

    Hong Yun'er stood up and said slowly: "The three emperors and the five emperors in ancient times were so virtuous that they deserved the honors of emperor and emperor. Although Qin Yingzheng had the power to wipe out the emperor, he thought that he had the virtues of the three emperors and his achievements were greater than those of the five emperors, and he was the emperor.  The title set a precedent. The emperor is above and the emperor is below. The emperor of Qin Yingzheng means heaven and earth, which means to tell all people that heaven and earth are the masters of all things. When Confucius preached, he did not hear that the emperor could replace heaven and earth.  Becoming the Lord of all things, originally the God of heaven and earth could be worshiped by all people. However, after Qin Yingzheng proclaimed himself emperor, he burned books and harassed Confucian scholars. Therefore, the God of Emperor Tian became the exclusive god of sacrifice for the heavenly family. However, all people in the world had no right to worship him. Over time, they worshiped him.  The old customs of God are thus annihilated.¡±

    Zuo Zongtang was so stunned that he couldn't speak. Hong Yun'er said again: "Qin Yingzheng had the power to eliminate the rebellion and unify China, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Subsequent dynasties all followed suit, but they were all  In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people claimed the title of emperor in vain, and the people of the world rose up to attack, allowing the Han people to reorganize the country. But now, the country of the Han people is occupied by the Manchus. How can they dare to claim the title of emperor in vain?  , stealing the famous vessel for worshiping the God of heaven and earth? Our religion only restores the ancient customs and allows all people to worship God again, so why not? As for why Confucian temples are destroyed everywhere, it is just because today¡¯s Confucianism is no longer the original Confucianism  , after the Manchus entered the customs, how many elite Confucian students were killed in the late Ming Dynasty, and mosquito prisons were established, and the essence of Confucianism was suppressed and castrated. How many are left now? Today's Confucians cannot restore the Han Dynasty, but instead give all their loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice to Hu  What are we doing with this kind of Confucianism, which is so servile and servile? Why not destroy it all and rediscover the ancient legacy!"
