Chapter 351 Your Majesty, we are really here to pay tribute!

"Your Majesty, slaves are of no use. That Huang Zongxi is a master who doesn't know how to deal with anything. To deal with him, you have to use the prison of words!"

"Your Majesty, I also think that the Qing Dynasty cannot live without a literary prison! If there were no literary prison, the scholars in the world would have to talk nonsense, and... even Confucius said something treasonous and unethical in the world!

Confucian scholars must be punished severely with the Literary Prison!"

The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, located in Mancheng, Nanjing, has now become the "South Forbidden City" of Emperor Kangxi. Following the old rules in Beijing, he also set up a South Study Room in the South Forbidden City. However, most of the palaces in the Forbidden City of Nanjing

All of them have been destroyed due to disrepair, fire, thunder and other factors, and only the Wuying Hall is still usable. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi's South Study Room was actually located in the Wuying Hall.

At this moment, Emperor Kangxi was sitting in the dilapidated Wuying Hall, listening to two minions, Xiong Cilu and Huang Zhisheng, complaining about Huang Zongxi's unreasonable behavior.

"Wait a minute," Kangxi was confused by the two people's "diao tactics" and simply interrupted Huang Zhisheng's words, "You two should tell me, what on earth did Huang Zongxi say that was so treasonous?"

"He didn't say anything." Of course Huang Zhisheng would not report the content of his private conversation with Huang Zongxi to Kangxi.

Xiong Cilu said: "He just wrote an anti-book!"

As he spoke, Xiong Cilu took out a copy of "The Record of Interviews with Ming Yi" and raised it high above his head.

"Where is this anti-book?" Kangxi asked again.

"Returning to the emperor," Xiong Cilu said, "I have not read the content, but as soon as I read the title, I knew it was contrary to the book!"

"The title of the book is..."

"It's "Records of Visits to Ming Yi."

"Ming Yi..." Kangxi frowned, "Isn't this a hexagram in the "Book of Changes"?"

"Huang Zongxi said the same thing," Xiong Cilu said, "but I know that this book is not about fortune-telling at all, but about national affairs! It's obvious what Huang Zongxi meant when he used the word 'Mingyi'. This way

I don’t know how to read books, and I don’t dare to read them!”

"This Huang Zongxi!" Kangxi thought it right and became angry at the time. "Isn't he afraid of following in the footsteps of the 'Ming History Case'?"

"Returning to the emperor," Huang Zhisheng said, "I have asked him, and he said that the emperor does not dare."

"Don't you dare?" Kangxi's face darkened, "Am I still afraid of him being an old nerd?"

"Your Majesty," Huang Zhisheng said, "Huang Zongxi is not an old nerd, but an insidious old thief! Before he came to Nanjing, he had already sent his eighteen disciples in two groups to submit "The Record of Visits to Mingyi"

Prince Zhu San and Wu Sangui are together!"

"Ah..." Kangxi was so angry!

Because he really didn't dare to turn the case of "Ming Yi Waiting for Interviews" into a Ming history case!

When handling the Ming Dynasty case, the knives of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were still sharp, and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not lose his head... But now the force of the Eight Banners could no longer support the Qing Dynasty. That's why Kangxi thought of opening the Nanjing Heroes Meeting for the purpose

It is to win over scholars from the southeast.

If Kangxi continues to engage in literary inquisition at this time, and Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui hold up "Records of Visits to Ming Yi", wouldn't all the scholars in the southeast have to go to welcome Master Wang?

Don't think that these people are useless... When the Ming Dynasty Master is useless, they are useless too.

But if the King of Ming Dynasty becomes particularly useful and this group of people becomes the icing on the cake, the Qing Dynasty will soon be lost in the southeast.

Because the terrain in the southeast is densely covered with water networks, the Eight Banners soldiers have no mobility advantage at all. And the transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is in the hands of the scholar-bureaucrats and landlords. Moreover, the situation of many small rivers and streams is complex, like a maze, Shi Lang's Yangtze River

It would be difficult for the navy to drive in without anyone to guide the way.

Therefore, as long as the scholar-officials in the south of the Yangtze River burned the wooden bridges everywhere and controlled the boat people who supported the boats, the Qing soldiers could only move along the Yangtze River and canals, and could not go to other places at all.

But Zhu Heji's soldiers were so comfortable that they could even lie down and be transported to the gate of Nanjing by the boatmen from the south of the Yangtze River.

Eat and drink, march into the army while lying down...this is the real winning by lying down!

So Huang Zongxi was betting his wealth and life against Kangxi's wealth and life!

But even if Kangxi was willing to gamble, those around him would not! If Huang Zongxi was not beheaded to death by then, he himself would die inexplicably first...

"Xiao Guizi, bring the book here!"

Kangxi suppressed his anger and ordered Young Guizi's father-in-law to take the "Records of Interviews with the Ming Yi" on his desk, and then started to read them.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you can see that the face is really livid and livid, and the whole person is shaking with anger, and he is letting out a series of low roars: "It's against! It's against! It's against..."

This "Ming Yi Waiting for Interviews" is even more "reverse" than the "Ming History Collection". "Ming History Collection" is nothing more than suspected of nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, and the wording is inappropriate. In the words of later generations,

It's just that there are a little too many "sensitive words". If the Qing Dynasty had been more ambitious, they would have changed it. There would be no need to kill so many people and make it so bloody.

The central idea of ​​this "Mingyi Waiting for Visits" is very clear, which is to ask the emperor to hand over power!

Huang Zongxi believed that "the world is for the Lord and the guest"...which means that the people in the world are the landlords, and the emperor and I are the tenants!

In the words of later generations, the emperor is the "first public servant", not the master of the world!

After repositioning the emperor, Huang Zongxi repositioned his ministers.

Since the emperor is the "first public servant", then the ministers are the "nth public servant". They are not the emperor's minions, but good comrades who serve the people together under the emperor's leadership.

Of course, how to be the "first public servant" and how to be the "nth public servant" below are all open to discussion. After all, Huang Zongxi has never been the "first public servant", and he has not been an official for a long time.

Long, no experience.

Therefore, the real core of "Mingyi Waiting for Visits" is these two items - what is an emperor? What is a minister?

In fact, these two items were not only difficult for Kang Mazi to accept, but also for Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui.

But... Kang Mazi is definitely more difficult than Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui!

Because Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui are not "masters" yet. Zhu Heji is the "sacred master" in the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty teams, and the nth public servant below are all his disciples and grandsons.

Wu Sangui is the "father" of Wu Jiajun - the following members are all his biological sons, godsons and sons-in-law.

So the leaders of this three-point world are Master Kang, Teacher Zhu and Father Wu.

Among them, only Kangxi was the true master, and the people under him were real slaves. If he wanted to change from master to "first public servant", he had to make concessions. However, Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui accepted the status of "first public servant" for nothing more.

a little.

And taking a little less and spitting out a little have completely different meanings at this moment.

Taking less is good manners, and it also means that the people below can share more, and everyone will be happy. But spitting out a little... means that you are scared, that is coward, and you have to spit out some benefits.

"Your Majesty," Xiong Cilu saw that Kangxi was about to explode with anger, so he had no choice but to ask, "What exactly is said in "The Record of Interviews with Ming Yi"?"

"He wants me to hand over power!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "He said that the world is for the emperor and the guest! When ministers serve in the world, they should serve the world, not for the king; for all the people, not for one surname. He also said that he should serve for the sake of the world.

If a king does not serve the world, then he will be his servants and concubines; if he cares for the world, then he will be his teachers and friends... Being a slave is worse than a servant, and he didn't even bother to say it!

"

The Qing Dynasty...is about to end!

Xiong Cilu's heart dropped when he heard what Kangxi said!

Kangxi originally wanted to do some superficial work and recruit more new slaves in Jiangnan, so as to temporarily consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, he encountered such a tough opponent as Huang Zongxi, and a copy of "Records of Interviews with Ming Yi" forced him into a corner.

"Your Majesty," Huang Zhisheng said at this time, "Then what should we do? How about getting some arsenic..."

Kangxi sighed: "At this point, it is meaningless to kill him...Xiao Guizi, arrange a ride, I want to leave the palace."

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
