Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 292 Relegating great Confucianism to foreign barbarians, practicing the strategy of foreign Confucianism and internal reality!

Tian Qi said with a smile, then asked Zhang Gui, Han Yu and others: "Tell me, how to deal with this old guy!"

"He is not afraid of death. Killing him is a kind of fulfillment for him, and death at the hands of the king. For him, it is simply a gift like a marquis! It is better to be demoted."

Zhang Gui said at this time.

Tian Qi chuckled and said, "Then he's not afraid anymore."

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "It's better to eunuch, let the slaves come and teach him!"

Tian Qi waved his hand: "I don't want the inner court to become like Wang An under his influence."

Zhang Gui continued: "Your Majesty, what I mean is not to demote him to some remote places in this dynasty, but to demote him to foreign barbarians."

As he said that, Zhang Gui said again: "Your servant now understands that this time the North Korean envoy Jin Xianzhi was able to express his willingness to return Xianzhou in such a cooperative manner, because North Korea was well educated by Confucianism, so that it became a country of rites. That made Jin Xianzhi not be concerned about his own gains and losses. But not all foreign countries are as good as North Korea, which is well educated by Confucianism. For example, the Japanese country is still not educated by sages, so that they often harass our seas and territories, obviously because they are not fully enlightened. Therefore, I think that Liu Zongzhou should be demoted to Japan to be a Confucian envoy to spread Confucianism, so that Japan can become the second North Korea. This will also benefit the people in the coastal areas from being disturbed by Japan in the future.”

Apocalypse nodded.

And Zhang Gui said again: "In addition, Liu Zongzhou can only be appointed as the deputy envoy of Confucianism, and another Confucian envoy must be sent to supervise him, so as to prevent him from arbitrarily advocating and doing outrageous things. This is also for his own good. It also avoids causing troubles for Daming. Instead, let him destroy the aspirations of the Japanese people, reduce the spirit of the Japanese people, and make the Japanese people stupid."

Tian Qi said: "This method is good. These Confucian officials are all stinky and tough. I hate them the most. Killing them will make them smelly. If they don't kill them, they will be very annoying. It would be better to relegate them to a place where they can't be seen." , can also be regarded as letting them make some practical contributions to Daming. It is undoubtedly a great thing if the foreign barbarians can be turned into dull and pedantic scholars."

As he said that, Tianqi said again: "This Liu Zongzhou asked him to send him to Japan as a deputy envoy of Confucianism with the title of doctor of Zhengbapin Taichang Temple. Act according to the mission, who is the official ambassador of Confucianism, you recommend."

Zhang Gui had already thought of the candidate, so he recommended him: "Your Majesty, I recommend Xu Du to be the commander of Jinyiweidu. Although Xu Du is a military minister, he was born as a student and has solid knowledge. Foreign forces cultivate our fine work. I think we will need a lot of friendly people like Jin Xianzhi in the future. Because the cotton and silk of the Industrial Division need to have a larger overseas market, we must let the overseas countries like Wa Own weaving workshop, as well as firearms workshop, and even carriage workshop and other workshops."

After hearing this, Tian Qi said: "Then Xu Du, let him take the title of Chancellor of Taichang Temple, and go to Japan as a Confucian envoy."

"According to the order!"

Not long after, Liu Zongzhou received his decree to demote him to the doctoral officer of the Taichang Temple in Japan as the deputy envoy of Confucianism. The reason for demoting him was that he did not abide by the imperial guidelines and abused the power of Dengwen, because the Dengwen drum was originally intended for the people. It is used to present grievances, not to impeach cabinet ministers.

"What, let me go to Japan to spread Confucianism? Or a vice?!"

Liu Zongzhou smiled wryly after hearing this, and said in disappointment, "Isn't it the death of a stick or the head of an owl?"

When Liu Zongzhou asked, he yelled at the eunuch who announced the decree: "Why don't you punish me to death! Let me die in martyrdom! Die after impeaching the powerful?!"

The eunuch ignored him and didn't understand, and left after announcing the decree.

"Wait!"

But Liu Zongzhou stopped him and said, "Even if Your Majesty doesn't give me a chance to die loyally. But please, father-in-law, please bring a message to Your Majesty, can you not let me go to a foreign country? I would rather be exiled for three thousand miles and suffer from miasma. If you die, you don’t want your bones to be in another country in the future!”

As Liu Zongzhou spoke, he raised his bow and begged for the first time in a humble way to the eunuch: "I'm sorry, father-in-law."

"just wait."

Liu Zongzhou really didn't want to go to some Japanese country to spread Confucianism.

Because he can be regarded as a very famous Confucian in Shilin in China, and he is honored as Mr. Ji Shan.

Therefore, no matter whether he is sentenced to death or relegated to a remote country in the country, he will definitely be famous far and wide, making many scholars admire him even more, and it can be regarded as further letting them see his strength of character , and maybe even like Wang Yangming, he left a good story in a remote cave because of his good scholarship.

But now the imperial court wants to send him to foreign barbarians to spread Confucianism!

This undoubtedly means that he will not see the admiration of domestic scholars for his fearlessness of power and observance of ethics.

It is equivalent to his current wave of fame for nothing.

In addition, Liu Zongzhou couldn't accept the thought of leaving his homeland, or even dying in foreign barbarians.

In fact, the Confucian scholars in Ming Dynasty did not have the original motivation to go out to spread their knowledge, unlike Western missionaries who tried their best to spread their own God to the world.

This may be because Confucianism is originally adapted to farming civilization, and even because it originated from the slave society period and the Zhou Dynasty, they are not interested in going out, and they care more about how to persuade the rulers to use them. This set is used to manage slaves, and going out is to expand and plunder externally. They are more interested in cooperating with the rulers to oppress and plunder internally.

Therefore, Confucian scholars may naturally have no motivation to go out, but care more about preaching to the emperors and nobles in their own land, and then strive to sell themselves for a good price.

After all, learning literary and martial arts is the original intention of people in this era to learn literary and martial arts.

Rather than the original intention of going out to develop new wealth.

Therefore, Liu Zongzhou can't accept the task of the imperial court sending him to Japan to spread Confucianism.

But Zhang Gui now wants the court to do this, let Confucian scholars like Liu Zongzhou harm the foreigners, let those foreign nobles use Confucianism to domesticate their people, and then let their people become docile under the influence of Confucianism Bulls and horses, hardworking and never complaining, at most they just have a big explosion when they can't bear it, but they can continue to reincarnate.

Of course, Zhang Gui knew that the spread of Confucianism might not be successful due to the influence of the geographical environment.

But Zhang Gui wanted to take this opportunity to try, let Ming Dynasty use the power of the state to forcefully send Confucian scholars out, turn the barbarian people into the best ruled people, and implement a global strategy of Confucianism on the outside and solidity on the inside.

That is to say, it worships Confucianism externally and sells the concept of governing with virtue; internally, it advocates practical learning and pays attention to seeking truth from facts.

"Your Majesty has an order. Don't allow it. The knowledge of saints needs to be spread. This is a great achievement that will benefit thousands of years, and it is also a great virtue! Deputy Envoy Liu, do you remember?"

After the eunuch who announced the decree came back, he replied to Liu Zongzhou and asked.
