    In the lobby of the governor's office, Xiao Yungui listened to Hong Yun'er's resonant speech and looked at Zuo Zongtang, who had a gloomy expression. He was secretly amused. Hong Yun'er was the number one figure in the school's debate team back then.  She is known for being messy and messy, but her tricks are very good at using them in all directions.  In fact, Hong Xiuquan¡¯s God is neither the God revered by Confucians nor the God that foreigners call God. The God in his eyes is mostly a God born out of Western religions, which is very different from the God worshiped by ancient Chinese ancestors. At the same time, it is also different from the God worshiped by Western religions.  God is very different.

    Christianity has the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is believed that God has only one entity and his functions are divided into three parts. That is, God is the only divine substance, an infinite, unchanging, and spiritual existence.  Hong Xiuquan believed that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were three gods. He believed that the Father was the Heavenly Father and the Emperor, and he also claimed to be the second son of God. Jesus was the Heavenly Brother and the eldest son of God. He was sent by God to come down to earth to be the God of peace for all nations in the world.  He also called Yang Xiuqing the Holy Spirit, which was an anti-Trinity. This is seriously contradictory to Christian teachings, and it is not the God mentioned in ancient China, because I have never heard that the Chinese God had a son named Jesus.

    Hong Yun'er seemed to have guessed that Zuo Zongtang didn't know much about the God-worshipping religion, so he misinterpreted it out of context and then changed the focus of the attack to focus on the difference between ancient and modern Confucianism. For a while, Zuo Zongtang, a famous Confucian scholar, was really confused.  .

    She continued to talk, and before Zuo Zongtang could think about it, she added: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was in strife, the world was decadent, etiquette collapsed, and music was ruined. Confucianism synthesized the essence of three generations and created a system with benevolence as its core.  Confucianism, since Confucius taught Taoism and established the sect, was later tempered by Mencius, Xunzi and other sages. Confucianism became an independent entity and gradually became one of the four major sects alongside Taoism, Dharma and Mohism in the late Warring States Period. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Confucianism  The book suppressed Confucianism and ruled the world with Legalism. The Han Dynasty took over the Qin Dynasty and replaced it. During the Emperor Wu period, Dong Zhongshu combined human affairs politics with the operation of heaven, founded the theory of heaven and man's induction, proposed the divine power of the king, the three cardinal guides and the five constant principles, and then abolished hundreds of schools of thought and established the sole rule.  The act of respecting Confucianism has benefited Confucianism a lot in explaining the meaning of scriptures and exegesis of texts. The orthodox status of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was established. It can be said that Confucian Sinology was established at the time. Does Mr. Zuo think so?"

    Zuo Zongtang's thinking was still a little confused. He didn't know what the purpose of Hong Yun'er's sudden mention of the Confucian experience passed down from generation to generation, so he could only respond casually: "Yes, Confucianism only flourished in the Han Dynasty."

    Hong Yun'er smiled and continued: "In the Wei and Jin Dynasties after the Han Dynasty, Confucianism declined and metaphysics (that is, the analysis of the three classics "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Zhouyi") rose. In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty and the early Southern Dynasties, Buddhism and metaphysics merged  , which made the Buddhist sect gradually become more powerful. Buddhism and Taoism were still prosperous during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and during this period, many foreign sects were introduced into China, such as Nestorianism, Manichaeism, Aojiao, etc. The gradual revival of Confucianism was in the Song Dynasty.  In the early Northern Song Dynasty, Sun Fu, Shi Jie, Hu Yuan and others re-annotated "Spring and Autumn", "Yi" and "Li" with new interpretations. For a time, doubting the ancient scriptures became common. During the Xining Reform, the old and new parties fought for political gains.  The dominant power and the orthodox status of Confucianism were written and established separately. Wang Anshi of the new party founded Jing Gong's new school as the basis for the reform, while the old party, with Sima Guang and his Shuoxue party as the core, included the Yuanyou academic school who opposed the reform."

    ¡°After Sima Guang, the old party split into the Shu School Party headed by Su Shi and the Luo School Party headed by Cheng Yi. Although the former emphasized the study of rhetoric, they were still based on Confucianism and focused on managing the world;  He attached great importance to the differentiation of Confucian principles and wanted to establish a great road for the world, which was also the same as his ambition in the world. As the Song Dynasty moved southward, the Cheng family's Luoxue line gradually became more prosperous. Zhu Xi, the fourth generation disciple of the Cheng family, gathered the great achievements of the previous studies.  , re-established Taoism and made Neo-Confucianism form a complete theoretical system. Zhu Xi's writings were rich and his thinking was meticulous. His main point was to study things and understand himself. Later generations will call him Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism together with the Cheng brothers. "Hong Yun'er  Xiao Yungui continued to talk without any interest, his eyes kept looking at Hong Yun'er's charming face and Jiao Na's figure, and from time to time he looked at Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing.  Don't fall asleep with your mind full of despicable thoughts, secretly planning how to kill three birds with one stone.

    Hong Yun'er was not aware of Xiao Yungui's evil intentions at all, and Zuo Zongtang was also fascinated by what he heard, so he continued: "Since the middle period of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism has undergone great changes. After Jiajing, various industries among the people have developed and prospered, and private schools and academies have the freedom to give lectures.  The prevalence of customs, private history compilation, etc., allowed Confucianism to flourish, and also caused the original official family to be shaken. For example, Chen Xianzhang advocated self-satisfaction and believed that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was a branch of learning, which should be washed away by the wind and shaken.  Dabo; Wang Yangming constructed the theory of the mind, and even had wonderful words about the unity of conscience and the unity of knowledge and action. These doubtful doctrines (Neo-Confucianism) confused the ancients and aimed at the contemporary world, and were highly respected among the scholars at that time. Up to this time,  Confucianism has also undergone changes and renewals, and many schools of thought have been established, all for the purpose of correcting changes and avoiding disadvantages, and applying them to the world, and there is still a legacy of Confucianism."

    Zuo Zongtang already felt something was wrong when he heard this. As expected, Hong Yun'er continued to play loudlyThe poem said: "After the Manchus took over the Central Plains, although they respected Confucianism to win over people's hearts, they all wanted to maintain the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in politics.  With the inheritance and expansion of Han Confucianism, the spirit of the Han scholar-bureaucrat class since the Song and Ming dynasties to open their mouths to discuss current affairs, debate brilliantly, and speak out what was wrong in the world has disappeared. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, scholars doubted the ancient ways and the classics.  The academic style of Shizhiyong gradually disappeared in the Qing Dynasty. Although the "Sacred Instructions" promulgated by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty and the "Holy Edicts and Guang Xun" promulgated by Yong Zheng used Confucian ethics to regulate morality, Qing Yao's sinister intentions  It is to infiltrate and control the thoughts and words of our Han scholars in the name of reason. During the Qing Dynasty, there were countless imperial compilations and imperial annotations with countless interpretations, such as "The Classic of Filial Piety" in the Shunzhi period; "The Classic of Filial Piety" in the Kangxi period;  "Zhezhong of the Zhouyi", "Explanation of the Four Books of Riji"; "Collected Notes on the Classic of Filial Piety" from the Yongzheng period; "Zhijie of the Spring and Autumn Period" and "Shuyiyi of the Zhouyi" from the Qianlong period, etc. The Qingyao picked out the principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism  In addition to praise, any question like that of Ming Confucianism will be regarded as a dangerous act of deviance. Famous Neo-Confucian officials promoted by Qingyao as Cheng-Zhu Daotong (i.e., representatives of Song Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty), such as Li Guangdi, Wei Yijie, and Xiong Cilu  , Tang Bin, Zhang Boxing and others are just royal interpreters. What Qingyao wants is the enslaving words of Confucianism that enslave people's hearts, and they are very hostile to the Confucian tradition of doubting the past and applying the ancient legacy to the world.  Banning, I think this is worse than my Taiping smashing several Confucius temples, and the disaster will be deeper!"

    Zuo Zongtang's forehead was already covered with sweat when he heard this, but Hong Yun'er had no intention of letting him go. She continued eloquently: "Looking at the Confucian Sinology of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu demons want to enslave the Han people in the world. On the surface, they respect  Confucianism and Taoism secretly suppressed it with power, elevated Neo-Confucianism, and imprisoned people's hearts, causing scholars all over the world to lose their own mind and make no further progress on the academic theories of their predecessors. Mr. Zuo, all contemporary Confucian scholars, should also know this  You can take the Eight-Part Part Examination to become an official, but why is it that even though your talent is so high, you can¡¯t get into the Eight-Part Writing High School? In fact, sir, in your heart, you look down on the Eight-part Writing Examination, right? Looking at the books of the Qing Dynasty, the little girl often sighs that there is no Qing Dynasty book.  Most of the generation had nothing to say but nothing to write about. Today¡¯s Confucian students, under the power of the Qing demons, only know how to read the books of sages and quote them but do not know how to carry them forward. If the chaos of the Manchu demons is allowed to continue, Confucianism will probably disappear. Mr.  Famous teachers, everyone should know that the little girl's words are not groundless and false. You can know the merits of each by comparing the records of the sages! I wonder if the little girl's nonsense can reach the ears of the gentleman? If it is insulting to the listener,  The bento girl never said anything."

    Hong Yun'er spoke like a machine gun, and she really had the same demeanor as she did at the inter-school debate with a group of men. When Xiao Yungui heard it at the end, she was really afraid that she would say: "The above is our point of view."

    Looking at Zuo Zongtang's face, which alternated between blue and white, Xiao Yungui couldn't help laughing. Even if he was a contemporary Confucian scholar, he would probably be speechless when meeting a terrifying mouthpiece specially trained by an exam-oriented education machine like Hong Yun'er.  of.  Only then did Xiao Yungui vaguely remember that in the inter-school debate competition that Hong Yun'er participated in, the topic seemed to be about Confucianism, and in the end she was the best debater in the competition.  At this moment, Xiao Yungui also sympathized with Zuo Zongtang. After all, he did not live in the era of information explosion in later generations, but Hong Yun'er could stand on the shoulders of giants and famous craftsmen of all ages and see the world.  Zuo Zongtang almost destroyed his three views.

    Hong Yuner smiled lightly and sat back in her seat, taking a big sip of tea. After talking so much just now, her mouth was really dry.  She also knew that she could not get entangled with Zuo Zongtang on the discussion of the God-worshipping religion. Sooner or later, Zuo Zongtang would notice something wrong if she talked too much. He simply put aside the God-worshipping religion and only attacked the shortcomings of Confucianism's decline in the Qing Dynasty, thereby emphasizing the  The rational argument made Zuo Zongtang feel that the Manchus did more harm to Confucianism than the Taiping Army's destruction of the Confucian Temple, but he kept silent about the Taiping Army's anti-Confucianism. Anyway, Zuo Zongtang had not figured out the situation yet. Sure enough, Zuo Zongtang listened.  I was speechless for a long while.

    On the side, Yang Dongqing asked Li Xuanji in a low voice: "Sister Xuanji, why can't I understand a word of what the Queen of the West said?"

    Li Xuanji also frowned slightly, still immersed in the storm of thoughts brought by Hong Yun'er. When she heard Yang Dongqing's words, she let out a soft sigh and replied in a low voice: "The Queen of the West said  It¡¯s a very profound truth, but there are some things I don¡¯t quite understand.¡±

    Xiao Yungui struck while the iron was hot, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo, what my wife said is right. Our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is trying to bring order to the chaos, drive away the demons, return our mountains and rivers, and restore the original appearance of Confucianism. Mr.  If you don¡¯t help me now, why don¡¯t you help the Qing demon to slowly destroy my thousand-year-old Confucian culture?!¡±

    Another big hat came down, and Zuo Zongtang could no longer hold his breath. He stood up tremblingly, and thought of many things in his mind. He remembered that he had been studying hard since he was a child, hoping that one day  Being able to show his talents and serve the imperial court, his mind was extremely confused at the moment. It seemed that what Hong Yun'er said made sense, but after all, the Taoism he had held in his heart had been for decades.The thoughts of the two sides conflicted, and they opened their mouths but could not speak. After a while, they bowed deeply to Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er and said: "The King of the West and the Queen of the West can think what others dare not think.  I really admire it, but I have been reading the books of sages for decades, and when I first heard this comment, my thoughts are confused. How about I just think about it for a few days before I give a reply?"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled. Zuo Zongtang no longer refused and said slowly: "That's very good. Come and arrange a wing room for Mr. Zuo to stay temporarily. If you need anything, just give it to him."  .¡±

    Watching Zuo Zongtang follow the sword player down the hall with a livid face, Hong Yun'er asked with some worry: "Did I say too much?"

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said: "If something that a person thought was right in the past is suddenly said to be wrong one day, his thoughts will naturally be confused. Let him think about it slowly. Let's strike while the iron is hot and cook the raw rice into cooked rice!"

    Hong Yun'er's face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "We are talking about serious matters. What are you talking about?"

    Xiao Yungui suppressed his laughter and said, "I mean to send someone to pick up Zuo Zongtang's family immediately. Where did you think they were?" Then he leaned in front of Hong Yun'er and whispered: "Yun'er, don't you  You will think of that and go up."

    Hong Yun'er's pretty face was hot and she spat: "Go pick up his family members yourself, I won't wait for you!" After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the inner hall. Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing hurriedly followed.

    Xiao Yungui hummed a tune triumphantly and murmured with a smile in his heart: "Hehe, none of you can escape from the palm of my hand."
