Standing still, being content with the status quo, adhering to the laws of the ancestors, ringing the clock like a monk every day, and referring to all foreign cultures as barbarians, is the path to self-destruction.

The vitality of a civilization comes from its openness to all rivers.

The good man Ulugh Beg transcended the times and made a sextant, calculated the inclination of the earth's axis, measured the precise precession of equinox, and made outstanding contributions to trigonometric functions and spherical geometry.

Oara marched westward and captured Samarkand, and all the gains of the good man Ulugh Beg were sent to the Ming Dynasty.

Does Ming Dynasty want these things or not?!

The answer is yes.

At this time, Ming Dynasty did not lose its enterprising spirit and tolerance.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao summoned the great scholar Wu Bozong and the Hanlin Li Zhang at Fengtianmen and ordered the translation of astronomical books from the Western Regions.

Wu Bozong then organized Qintian Supervisor Lingtai Lang Haidar Adawudin, Hui master Masha Yihei, Mahama and others to start at Youshunmen in Nanjing, and jointly translated the astronomical yin and yang calendar of the Western Regions, and translated them one by one.

Finally, the Tupan calendar was obtained, the heavenly time was calculated, the perpetual calendar was made, and the "Tatong Calendar" was approved.

Of course, the ancestral law can be said to be a powerful weapon in political battles. However, whenever it is not in line with interests, it is not uncommon to refute it with the ancestral law.

The right to interpret the ancestral laws is now in the hands of Your Majesty, and this was handed over by Hu Hui on his own initiative.

Therefore, before the ministers can play the ancestral method, they must first play with Hu Hui.

Nicholas said with a slight trembling: "Hu Shangshu, I have a question, and I would like to ask Hu Shangshu to know the answer. Please tell me. I have been confused for more than thirty years."

"Please tell me." Hu Xi nodded and signaled Nicholas to ask. If he knew the answer, he would definitely tell you everything he knew. Of course, he wouldn't say anything he couldn't tell.

Nicholas has seen the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and this prosperity will not end in his lifetime. How long will this prosperity last ten years? Twenty years? Or will it disappear in two hundred years?

He solemnly asked: "Why can China be so powerful today? The country has an extremely vast territory, a large number of people, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the laws are strict and seem to have never been cut off. I am very puzzled."

Hu Xi put down the teacup, suddenly reached out and took Nicholas's teacup, and said with a smile: "What's mine is still mine, and what's yours is mine."

Nikolaoz looked at Hu Xi in confusion and scratched his head. What he said was a bit baffling, but it seemed to be in line with Elena's first impression, that he was domineering.

Hu Xi said with a smile: "Since ancient times, China has not been a country where others are not allowed to come unless you go there. We once translated all Buddhist scriptures into Chinese characters, and then the Chinese characters interpreted their meanings."

Only then did Nicholas understand what Hu Hui meant, and said with a smile: "Oh, I understand, this is really amazing."

Hu Xi didn't finish speaking.

Once the translation is completed, we begin to eliminate the essentials and retain the essential essence. After we understand its essence, we begin to assimilate it. If we refuse to assimilate it, we can only destroy it.

Its specific manifestation is the destruction of Buddha by three martial arts.

Although Emperor Taiwu of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty had different motivations and different situations, their purposes were exactly the same, their measures were basically similar, and their results were similar.

The purpose is to eliminate conflicts in the ideological and cultural fields, force the Sangha to change its shortcomings in Taoism, and balance the economic interests between monks and laypeople.

Monks climbed to the core of power. This was something that many Ming Dynasty officials would never allow to happen. The monastery landlord economy was even more disliked by the rulers. It was a source of tax revenue for the emperor.

The Ming Dynasty also just experienced a small extermination of the Buddha.

Zen Master Yang of Dalongxing Temple was sent to Wala to convert the Wala people.

After seeing him off, His Majesty immediately asked what to do with the temple land?

With the implementation of integrated taxation, the landlord economy of the temple collapsed immediately. If you have to pay the official tax, and then be affiliated with the temple, doesn't that mean you have to pay an extra cent of tax?

Pay taxes to the emperor, and then pay taxes to your temple?

The emperor had many regiments and camps and fought everywhere. How many regiments did the Buddha have?

Hu Hui understands etiquette.

The whole process is to obtain the true scriptures. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda translates a total of 520 volumes of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and 657 volumes. It uses Chinese to express the Sanskrit, and then after it can be expressed completely, it starts to destroy the Buddha.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. If you don't obey me, you'll be smashed to pieces.

It has been like this throughout the ages.

When Zheng He went to the West, the former Buddhist kingdom had disappeared without a trace, and even the inheritance of Buddhism was discontinued. However, the Ming Dynasty temples were still prosperous.

The same is true for Nestorianism, which came from the Great Qin Kingdom, and will not escape this fate.

Hu Hui only said half of it. Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. You need to understand it yourself.

Nicholas has brought many, many documents. No matter how he talks about it, he must translate these documents, describe them accurately in Chinese, pick and choose the ones that can be used, and throw away the garbage.

Comprehensive denial is an important method for literati, and there is another method, which is comprehensive acceptance.

No selection, no distinction between good and bad, just take it all in and feel content and satisfied.

In Hu Xi's view, this kind of person must be expelled from the hospital to see if his brain is two pounds lighter than that of a normal person.

After thinking about it, Hu Hui came to the conclusion that His Majesty said "bring it". He had to take it by himself, think carefully, take the essence and discard the dross.

His Majesty also showed up and demonstrated how to get it.

His family had acquired the Three Treasures of Fortune and Fortune, which caused endless harm. Qu Chengde also used it as a real-life case to conduct a tour in Nanya, letting people all over the world see what it means to be a devil in the world.

But in the hands of Taiyuan Hospital, the Three Treasures of Fulu were thoroughly studied, and their functions, effects, and addictions were all reported and recorded in detail. Finally, the Ecstasy Soup... Ma Bo Decoction was created, which was used to relieve pain and perform gauze surgery.

This is "bring it".

Hu Xi pushed the tea cup back and said with a smile: "This is just external force, but also internal force."

"We call it the Great Contemplation. Once great pain comes, not even the emperor can stop it."

"It would be too long to talk about this. I'll explain it to you another day when I have time."

From the Juedi Tiantong in Zhuanxu's time; to offering sacrifices to ancestors in the Xia Dynasty; to the divine blessing of kingship in the Shang Dynasty to the exclusive power of one person; to the respect for heaven and protecting the people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the king of the world; in the Spring and Autumn Period, the importance of gods to people, and then from the Warring States Period to respecting heaven and protecting the people.

A hundred schools of thought contend;

In the Qin Dynasty, the emperor was supreme, with great desires and heavy rewards and punishments; in the early Han Dynasty, Huang Laowei was inaction, people-oriented, and respected the law and agriculture;

Gongsun Yang's unification in the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's connection between heaven and man, and the struggle between kings and hegemons in the debate between salt and iron;

The change of fate in the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's admiration for antiquity, the National Constitution of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules in "The Romance of the White Tiger", the famous religions, famous laws, and famous religions in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The theory of people-centeredness, the theory of the unity of monarch and ministers, the theory of legal system, the theory of accepting remonstrances in the Sui and Tang Dynasties; the balance between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and the balance and co-reliance, etc...

It is necessary to be open to all rivers and absorb foreign cultures to eliminate the bad and retain the good.

But more importantly, this ability of self-thinking is the core of the progress of a civilization.

This is also Zhuangzi's way of being a saint within and a king outside. If the virtue of a saint is applied to the outside world, it will be the rule of a king.

As for when the inner sage and outer king became a Confucian classic, it is not surprising for scholars. After all, stealing is not theft.

Every major speculation promoted the historical process of the Central Plains dynasty, such as Gongsun Yang's theory of grand unification in the early Han Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang's unification of the six kingdoms was a pioneering achievement, but the Qin Dynasty's unification only lasted fifteen years, while the Han Dynasty took four hundred years to confirm the Shi Huangdi's correctness.

The Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin and Han Dynasties benefited from each other.

And every time we engage in great thinking, we always take two steps forward and one step back. This is always the case and never changes.

This is also the well-known strategy of Emperor Taizu Gao, which is called taking every inch.

But if Hu Hui and a person from outside the region want to understand the historical experience and lessons, it will take ten or twenty years to explain.

As a close disciple of Hu Hui, Liu Ji only had his first glimpse of the path.

"We are here today. I will teach you the etiquette and righteousness of Honglu Temple." Hu Hui stood up and left the Huitong Hall.

He returned to the Ministry of Rites and dealt with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites today. Liu Ji, the young apprentice, took a bunch of books and went to the south of the Yangtze River to continue surveying the waterways.

Hu Xi was in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette and was also in charge of the affairs of the newspaper. Changzhou Poetry Society suddenly published an editorial, which made Hu Xi's forehead veins jump and his breathing suddenly became faster.

He stood up suddenly, lifted up his trousers, and ran towards the martial arts hall.

"See Your Majesty!" Hu Hui said breathlessly.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "Why are you so panicked? Is the envoy of the Qin State illegal?"

Hu Bi handed the editorial of the Cheung Chau Poetry Society to Xing'an, still feeling a little uneven.

Xing'an kept giving Hu a sigh of relief. He was seventy-seven years old and he must be out of breath from running like this.

Xing'an made catechu for Hu Xi again, and Hu Xi leaned on the back of the chair.

Zhu Qiyu read the entire editorial and was filled with anger.

Zhu Qiyu suppressed his anger and said calmly to Xing'an: "Let Lu Zhong count all the thousands of families who have been sentenced and immediately surround the entire Changzhou Poetry Society. No matter what method, I want them to speak."

"No matter who is behind it, I will cut him into pieces!"

"The sooner the better."

Zhu Qiyu had a few things in his hands, such as a half-flag pressed with transparent glass that was placed in the Wenhua Hall. It was the Dragon Flag of Zhu Qizhen, and only half of it was burned.

Xing'an was a craftsman, so he made a fake one and put it in Nanya.

For example, in the imperial study room of the Jiangwu Hall, there is a spiritual plaque, which is a memorial tablet for the soldiers who died in Tumu Fortress. Every August 15th, Zhu Qiyu would pay homage. Even when he went south to the south of the Yangtze River, Xing'an would not forget to take it with him.

.

For example, in a painting, this painting was painted when Yang Hong was still there. Li Yongchang, the admiral of the Jiangwu Hall, went to the Xuan Mansion with an imperial edict to build a pier and the Marquis Yuan did not accept it at night. Zhu Qiyu could not leave the capital without authorization.

The painter has gone.
