    Zuo Zongtang left with a look of deep thought. He needed to digest the concept of humanistic spirit in Confucian culture, but he could not deny that if the development of the Taizhou School of Mind Studies was not interrupted by the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty,  , will the so-called humanistic spirit evolve?

    Xiao Yungui didn't know this either. In fact, Confucianism has been continuously developing and improving since the day it was born. Just as Confucius said: Among all three people, we must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones.  Of.

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er discussed what exactly they wanted to revive in the revival of the Han family. The simple struggle for ruling power did not seem to be the true essence of the revival of the Han family. After being suppressed and imprisoned by the Manchus for more than two hundred years, the servility and servility of the Chinese people  The bad nature has become more and more perverse. After castration, Confucianism is left with only the traditional Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, only Confucianism that teaches people to be slaves, and only the confinement that suppresses academic development.  Therefore, reviving the Han family not only requires regaining the right to rule, but also regaining mental control and breaking the invisible braid in the heart.

    Hong Yun'er chose Confucianism for her mental recovery. She and Xiao Yungui came from later generations. She always believed that Confucianism was not as bad as what people said in later generations. Confucianism was not all dross. On the contrary, Confucianism had compatibility, inheritance and development.  has unparalleled advantages.  Confucianism went through a bleak period from its founding in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the burning of books and entrapment of Confucians in the Qin Dynasty. Subsequently, the Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, allowing Confucianism to flourish. Dong Zhongshu incorporated Taoism, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements into it.  The idea of ????confucianism is a major development and change in Confucianism.  This was followed by another development in the Tang Dynasty, and the development of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty was even more jaw-dropping.  Three religions coexisted, with Confucianism as the foundation. The prosperity of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty can be summarized in eight words.  It was also in the true sense of the Tang Dynasty that Confucianism perfectly connected with Buddhism and Taoism's doctrinal concern of compassion and the country's governance program. So far, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have formed a certain inextricable connection.  Then came Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, which proposed the theory of regulating Qi and studying things to achieve knowledge, which was another major change in Confucianism.

    ?Then came the development of the Xinxue by Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty. This time it was a self-denial and rebirth after Confucianism developed to a certain extent. With the development of the Xinxue and Xianxue, Confucianism seemed to be about to usher in a new era.  It is also the most important transformation.  Unfortunately, all this was broken by the subsequent entry of the Qing Dynasty into the country, and the ignorant scientific and rational Confucianism brought by Xu Guangqi and others was interrupted.

    Therefore, Xiao Yungui agreed with Hong Yun'er's approach.  What they need to revive is not only the homeland of the Han family, but also the humanistic spirit of the Han family. The Renaissance of the Han family is another invisible and smokeless battlefield.  The two men came from later generations, and they faced modern people who criticized Confucianism even if they knew little about it.  I also experienced the embarrassment of building Confucian schools in other countries when Confucianism in my own country declined.  They were even confused by the complete self-denial of five thousand years of Chinese civilization.  Fortunately, they majored in liberal arts. They had read Confucian classics and had guidance from famous domestic martial arts masters. Hong Yun'er, in particular, knew what real Confucianism should be like.

    "What are you thinking about?" Hong Yun'er's question with laughter interrupted Xiao Yungui's thoughts. Hong Yun'er was wearing a loose brocade robe and walked in with a smile.  A steaming bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

    Xiao Yungui hurriedly stepped forward to take the soup bowl.  Looking at Hong Yun'er's slightly swollen belly, she smiled slightly and said, "I just told Zuo Zongtang about the concept of the Han Renaissance. I don't know if I made it clear or if he understood it."

    Hong Yun'er was still supported by him and sat aside. She smiled sweetly and said, "No matter how talented Mr. Zuo is, it will take time for him to change some of his deep-rooted thoughts. But to be honest, we are still feeling our way through it."  River."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Lao Zuo is just worried that this Renaissance will make our rule unstable."

    Hong Yun'er smiled lightly and said, "Let me tell you something. A few days ago, weren't our Women's Army in Heaven clamoring for some sort of women's liberation? Were they going to set up some kind of association for the protection of women's rights?"

    Xiao Yungui took a sip of hot chicken soup and said, "Remember, I might let you mix it in." Then he asked doubtfully: "Did you still mix it in?"

    Hong Yun'er smiled slyly and said: "I didn't interfere, I just went to listen. Don't worry, just listen to me." Seeing that Xiao Yungui was about to have an attack, Hong Yun'er hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "I just  Went there once, which was the first time they gathered together. Guess what?" Before Xiao Yungui's dark face changed, Hong Yun'er continued: "There are quite a few female compatriots who came, and they are all famous figures in Tianjing City.  , in addition to the women's army in our Tianjing political circle, there are also Lin Sister, the skillful hand of Tianjing Spinning Factory, Chen Qiqiao, the skillful pen of Zhaoshu Yamen, Jiang Enmei, the most beautiful reporter of Tianjing Daily, etc. It can be said that it is a gathering of beauties.  It was very lively at first, but it soon turned into a gathering of complaints and complaints about the unhappiness and harmony of the family."

    Speaking of which, Xiao YunguiHong Yuner couldn't help laughing out loud, and said with a sad face: "They haven't figured out what women's rights are yet, and they don't know how to protect themselves. They talked lively, and finally when the sun turned  Xi, everyone rushed back in a hurry, and most of them said that my husband was coming back, and they had to go back to cook and do housework, etc., which made me very angry."

    Xiao Yungui couldn't help but laugh and said: "The secret has been exposed. You are just here to listen. Is it worth being angry?"

    Hong Yun'er was stubborn and refused to admit it. She pouted and said, "What? I'm worried for them, and you don't allow me to get involved, so I have to worry on the sidelines."

    Xiao Yungui drank the chicken soup in one gulp and said, "Well, the soup is good, go on."

    Hong Yun'er flatly said: "The most irritating thing is Su Sanniang. She is the president of the association elected by everyone. It turns out that she is also one of the fastest people. She said she wants to go back and take away the pair of thousand-layer bottoms."  I have prepared the cotton shoes and will send them to the navy's warships heading south tomorrow morning to take them to Luo Gang. It's really irresponsible."

    Xiao Yungui laughed a few times and said: "I understand. You gave me this example to tell me that you don't have to worry too much about the great changes that will be brought about by the liberation of thoughts, right?"

    Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "Yes, after all, it has been a habit for thousands of years. Although France suffered a tragedy back then, didn't it feel like it couldn't do without an emperor later? Don't worry, even if we are rushing to put the duck on the shelves now,  If you ask them to change, the results will not be very good. The current Women's Rights and Interests Protection Association is the best example. It seems that the world view of male superiority and female inferiority will still exist for a long time."

    Xiao Yungui hummed, suppressing a smile and said: "Well, I understand. Just like Mr. Lu Xun gave up medicine to pursue literature, our journey to the Renaissance, like the road to unifying the world, is also full of thorns and hardships.  , it will even be more difficult than taking over the world by force. Perhaps it will be decades or even centuries before we can usher in the dawn of revival. Rome was not built in a day."

    Hong Yun'er said: "Exactly, the Renaissance in Europe started in the 13th century, and it reached its climax in the 17th century. From the 17th century to the present, they are experiencing the Enlightenment, and then finally ushered in the dawn of modern civilization.  , do you think we can reach the height of great changes in just ten or twenty years? And I think that changes in thinking are accompanied by changes in productivity and production relations. Europe is now in a period of industrial development and capitalism. They  It requires more emancipation of the mind. For example, those time-travel novels of later generations that advocate democracy in the feudal era are completely nonsense. Our current productivity and production relations have not undergone major changes, so the development and change of our thoughts can only be step by step.  Come on, if you are too advanced, you won¡¯t be able to adapt.¡±

    Xiao Yungui said thoughtfully: "I understand somewhat. Now we have just taken the first step."

    Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "Yes, although the process is a bit long, we must take this step. If we don't take it, we will never become stronger. Do you think it is possible for a country where 90% of the country is illiterate?  Become a world power?¡±

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "You are right, there is indeed no such possibility. Ignorance of the people is only a means of governance in the feudal period. If we want to make a strong country, we must let the main body of the country, the people, become wise. Those online novels in later generations are talking nonsense.  They are worried that the enlightenment of wisdom will endanger the rule. This kind of thinking is the poisonous influence of the ignorant people of the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years."

    Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "However, we must take advantage of the situation and control this development in our hands, and do not have any wild ideas like those of the Boxer Rebellion."

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said, "You are still good at these troublesome ideological issues. You should continue to study them. I'd better take care of military and political affairs. Thinking too much will damage your brain cells."

    Hong Yun'er said with a smile: "I know, my great prince." Then Hong Yun'er suddenly asked confusedly: "By the way, I heard that Qingyun wrote to you again?"

    Xiao Yungui smiled jokingly and said, "It smells so jealous." After finishing his words, Hong Yun'er looked at her coldly. Xiao Yungui hurriedly laughed a few times and said, "Here's the letter, my dear wife, please take a look at it."

    Hong Yun'er took the letter Xiao Yungui took out from the secret box on the bookcase, opened it and read it. After looking at it for a few times, she frowned and said, "Why is she only telling you old things? She's still asking about me."

    Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "Qingyun's scheming is much deeper than yours. It's obvious that she and I are mortal enemies now, but she didn't mention a word about military affairs and only talked about what happened back then. This shows that she is very calm.  ." Followed him for a few steps: "New information has come recently. Ronglu was deposed by Cixi, which means that Lu Sixuan was abandoned by Song Qingyun. I am still wondering what is the reason why Qingyun suddenly said nothing.  By deposing Lu Sixuan, could it be that Lu Sixuan was a threat to her power?"

      Hong Yun'er snorted and said, "You only know how to make wild guesses. We women hate being lied to. Remember when we met Lu Sixuan, did he lie to us about not meeting Qing Yun? I guess,  He knew Qingyun¡¯s identity early on and kept it from us. At the same time, he also kept Qingyun from knowing about our whereabouts. Now that he has betrayed the gang, Qingyun will of course punish him."

    Xiao Yungui glanced at Hong Yun'er with a sudden realization, and sighed: "Women are really strange and emotional creatures" (To be continued)
