Chapter 5 Jin, Mongolian Permanent Minister (II)

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu Hongxun, Secretary of the Lifan Academy, asked for a visit!" Zhu Yinglong was just thinking about it, but he didn't expect Xu Yingyuan's voice to be heard in his ears, which interrupted his thoughts in an instant.

"My minister of the Lifan Academy..."

"It's okay, it's okay. This is not the time for the morning court in Wenhua Palace. All these red tapes will be exempted." Zhu Yinglong was happy today and waved his hand.

"This... Thank you, the emperor." Liu Hongxun knew the emperor's temper. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said thanking him.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it short."

"The Later Jin Emperor Taiji and Chahar Mongol Lin Dankhan have sent envoys to Beijing. Now the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty have arrived in Beijing. The Wei ministers have arranged them in the newly completed state hotel to report to the emperor." Liu Hongxun bowed and reported that when Zhu Yinglong accidentally lets go, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty changed Jianzhou or Jiancheng to the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Who are they?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"What is the leader Dudu Beile? I heard that he was the son of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhaci, who was executed by Nurhaci, and there were two deputys. One was Shuotou, the second son of Da Beile Daishan, and the other was a young man named Sony. The first-class guard of Huang Taiji, whose surname was Hesheli. According to the division of the Eight Banners system established by the Later Jin Dynasty, he belonged to the Zhenghuang Banner. His father's name was Shuose, and he was the elder brother of the Grand Secretary Xifu." Liu Hongxun reported one by one.

"Sony?" Zhu Yinglong was quite surprised. Sony was not a simple person. He was relied as the leader of the four auxiliary ministers by Emperor Shunzhi of his original time and space. Unexpectedly, he actually sent Huang Taiji to Beijing.

"The Emperor knows this person?" Liu Hongxun asked in surprise. Sony was just a guard beside Huang Taiji. Although he was first-class, in the eyes of Liu Hongxun and others, he was even worse than a seventh-rank sesame official. Why did the Emperor know how this person looked? How could he not be surprised?

"It's nothing, it's just that this person's name is a bit weird. I just felt strange when I heard it." Zhu Yinglong hurriedly covered up and said.

Liu Hongxun clearly felt that it was not the case, but that was the emperor. He didn't want to say it, and he didn't dare to ask. He responded timidly, "Yes".

"Where is the Chahar Mongolian?" Zhu Yinglong asked for a moment of thought.

"Lin Danhan sent his uncle Mauchitat as the minister. As for the entourage, the Wei ministers are not clear yet. They are far away and they will arrive in Beijing for four or five days."

"Well, I understand." Zhu Yinglong nodded.

"Your Majesty, I want to see if I can open a place in the inner city to properly resettle the embassy areas of various countries, and move out of the people there. On the one hand, they can be concentrated and managed, and on the other hand, these barbarians will not understand the Chinese etiquette, dress in strange clothes, and behave strangely. If there is a dispute with the people and cause unnecessary storms, it will be difficult for the court to deal with it at that time." Liu Hongxun suggested.

"The embassy district is a good idea, but since they have come to serve as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, they must follow all the laws and rituals of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be changed. No matter which country or vassal state, as long as they send permanent envoys in the Ming Dynasty, I can ignore them at home. As long as they leave the embassy, ​​everything must be done according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to say our words, wear my Ming Dynasty clothes, and do not say them, please translate them, do not wear them, and do not recognize their status as ministers. All etiquettes must be carried out according to the Ming Dynasty. If you cannot do it, you will expel them from the capital and let their vassal states send people to you. In the future, you will say this to the permanent envoys who come to Beijing from all countries."

"Your Majesty, this..." Liu Hongxun was shocked and didn't know what to say.

"Is this a little too domineering, right? Liu Aiqing." Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"Emperor..." Liu Hongxun quickly lowered his head.

"I have set the rules. I will do whatever I say. It's not the turn of those barbarian countries to tell me all the same." Zhu Yinglong said in a deep voice.

"Emperor, this rule may cause dissatisfaction among all countries, greatly damage the majesty of our etiquette and your tolerant demeanor of all rivers. I beg the emperor to think twice before doing it." A layer of fine sweat beads emerged from Liu Hongxun's forehead. He was the Minister of the Lifan Academy, the Minister of the Lifan Academy. If he said these words, he would not offend all the envoys of various countries. What a great country or a country of etiquette!

"Liu Aiqing, you don't have to persuade me to take back my fate. I have made a decision. Even if all countries treat my Ming Dynasty's permanent envoys in various countries with the same attitude, I will still make this decision." Zhu Yinglong made up his mind. He wanted to promote Chinese and Han national culture to the whole world. At that time, all of them, such as fucking suits, foreign wine, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Japanese that they hate! There is only one common language and mainstream culture in this world, that is, Chinese and Chinese culture.

Zhu Yinglong has a very deep ideal, that is, he does not have to unify the entire earth. In fact, he cannot do it either, but he can influence, assimilate and infiltration, just like the Americans in his time and space infiltrate Central Asia and carry out that color revolution, sweep the so-called Western culture into the trash can, and then bury it deeply into the loess. It becomes a topic of conversation that historians only learn to yell a few times when they are bored. Of course, this is a long process, and now he can only do whatever he thinks. Such a huge ambition has no ability to make any feasibility plan. Just like love, follow his feelings, as long as he corrects that direction at any time so that he does not deviate from the track.

"I am respecting the emperor's imperial edict!" Liu Hongxun sighed in his heart. The emperor is definitely an emperor who does not follow the common sense. Over the past year after he ascended the throne, the emperor's desire to abide by Confucianism has weakened, but his desire to respect the law has gradually increased. He emphasizes industry and commerce, promotes agriculture, and promotes hundreds of schools. The country has improved, and the people's hearts can also be used. But if he does not pay attention to Confucian etiquette and law to educate people, people will probably be driven by interests in decades. Any country and national justice may be left behind. Liu Hongxun was deeply worried about this and wanted to find an opportunity to advise the emperor several times. It was not until now that he had the opportunity to get along with the emperor alone. He was about to speak out, but he found that he didn't know how to speak, and he could not grasp whether the emperor would listen to him or not.

Zhu Yinglong's eyes wandered out of the hall. He accidentally caught Liu Hongxun's expression of wanting to speak but stopping. He immediately asked: "Liu Aiqing, I seem to have something to say to me. Why do you want to say but stopping? Or is it not suitable for me to be your audience?"

"The emperor forgives the crime. I have something to say, but I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy if he says it!" Liu Hongxun knelt down in a hurry and said.

"Liu Hongxun!" Zhu Yinglong likes people who are cheerful, but his ministers like to hide their armpits in everything they have. He will never tell a word until you force him. The old ministers in the secret residence are fine, but to an old minister like Liu Hongxun, he slapped the imperial case and shouted: "Don't you say I'm happy today?"

"The emperor forgives the crime, I am the one who said that." Liu Hongxun suddenly felt the thunder and lightning in his ears, how dare he anger Tianyan again?

"Tell me."

"I think of the series of coups since the Emperor ascended the throne, I was worried and unable to sleep at night..." Liu Hongxun indeed had some eloquence, and it was not in vain that Zhu Yinglong pointed out his position as the Minister of the Lifan Academy. What he said also reminded Zhu Yinglong that the leap of material civilization. If there is no corresponding spiritual civilization, the entire society will become a distorted development. This also proves that such a large civilized country in China has been sprouting for hundreds of years but has not developed into capitalism. One of the reasons is that the development of material civilization has no corresponding spiritual civilization support, and the conservative forces are too huge. An advanced society like capitalism will not develop in any case. In the end, it will still be a cycle. Liu Hongxun's words suddenly woke up the dreamer. Although Liu Hongxun's foresight was for the continuation of feudal dynasties and Confucianism, it changed in Zhu Yinglong's ears.

It became another idea, and the inspiration for Zhu Yinglong was very huge, that is, two words - education, arming a new Ming Empire with advanced spiritual civilization to achieve balanced development. China has been influenced by Confucian culture for thousands of years. This trunk must not be discarded, but the borers on it must be purged, and the branches that have been bitten by the borers must be ruthlessly cut off to rebirth the towering tree of Confucianism. There are still hundreds of arts such as the Legalists and Mohists. They also need a new starting point for development. A tree must not stop the wind and sand. Ten, hundred, and thousands of 100, and thousands of 100. To support the tomorrow of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of old trees must be needed, and thousands of new trees must be needed. No one can go well in one step, and Zhu Yinglong cannot do it. Thanks to Liu Hongxun's reminder, the cost will be too high after it is corrected.

It is urgent to develop education. Zhu Yinglong immediately summoned Xu Guangqi, Minister of Rites and Sun Shenxing, Minister of Revenue, and ordered them to set up 30 to 50 new schools in Zhili Capital even if they squeeze out some silver from their teeth, and then promote them year by year, and issued an edict to allow Peking University and Tsinghua University to compile textbooks for new schools. At the same time, they issued an edict that students can obtain the qualifications of students as long as they pass a series of entrance examinations in Tsinghua University or any university in Peking University in the new school. The method is similar to that of the Taixue in the Song Dynasty. After completing the two universities, they can directly obtain the title of Juren. If they have excellent grades, they can pass the study exam and become tribute students. About 60% of the quotas are also open to students with free admission every year.
