The cabinet meeting had just confirmed the new candidate for ambassador to the United States. When discussing how China strictly adheres to neutrality after announcing neutrality, the main hall outside reported that it was the North Korean ambassador asking for a meeting, and this person actually broke in without hesitation.

Since independence, North Korea has always admired Tianyou and followed China's internal and external policies. It has never been so rude. But today, he went straight to the Prime Minister's Office despite his advice, which made everyone present very surprised. Weng Wenhao put down his thoughts on the meeting and frowned and was displeased: "What do these North Koreans want to do?"

"Sir, he..." Weng Wenhao's other secretary, Wang Yunwu from Commercial Press, looked very bad at this time. He stuttered a little: "Sir, you'll know when you go out and take a look."

"It's so troublesome!" Weng Wenhao said impatiently, but he still went to the main hall. But when he saw North Korean ambassador Zhu Jinxiu, he was also amused by this person's dress, and Zhu Jinxiu was covered with yellow paper on the front and back, and even these things were stuck on his hat and forehead. Without exception, some ghost talismans were drawn on the paper that no one knew. In addition to this weird dress, the few followers he brought also carried in a long red wooden box, which was wrapped in a big red cloth. I don't know what it was inside.

"Sir Zhu, this is..." Weng Wenhao asked with a smile at Zhu Jinxiu's dress. Wang Yunwu, who was one step slower, wanted to stop him but it was too late.

"Report to the Prime Minister: In recent years, the atmosphere of demons in Kyoto of your country has been too great. In order to protect yourself, the officials had to go to the temple to ask for some divine talismans to protect themselves. Every time they go out, they stick to them to avoid being confused by the demons and forgetting who His Majesty and the ancestors were." Zhu Jinxiu answered with a serious face and even gave a respect to Weng Wenhao.

"Demonic atmosphere?" Although Weng Wenhao was born abroad, he also read ancient books when he was young. His face suddenly turned red. Zhu Jinxiu was here to humiliate him, but he knew that North Korea was a country that was more exclusive than Japan, and was full of crazy people who respected the king and expelled the barbarians. If he drove him out immediately, it would only make his reputation. So he suppressed his displeasure and said, "Why did your Ambassador come today? How could he not listen to the advice of the personnel and forcefully break in?"

"Report to the Prime Minister: I have urgent matters, so I have to do it. I hope I will forgive you." Zhu Jinxiu bowed her hand as a plea, and then tidied up her clothes and said seriously: "His Majesty the King of the Small Country saw that the United States bullied Japan, seized its territory, and slaughtered its people, and felt the same way. He also thought that Japan was an ally of the Small Country, and he had declared war on the United States, and the Small Country should share the same hatred of the enemy..."

Zhu Jinxiu was interrupted by Weng Wenhao before he finished speaking. He had forgotten his anger and was only deeply surprised. He said, "Does your country also declare war on the United States?" After he said that, he emphasized, "Did your country forget that Japan had enslaved your country back then..."

"Report to the Prime Minister: I dare not forget the previous affairs. However, since I have formed an alliance, I should keep my promises and trust. If this is not the case, how should the country be established? How should people be established? Moreover, the Americans are cunning, violent, and bullying the yellow race. How can the small country stand by and watch? Brothers and brothers fight against the wall and defend against their insults outside. Therefore, the small country will declare war on the United States. His Majesty, my king, sends a special official to report to the mother country."

Zhu Jinxiu was fluttering with yellow paper on her body, and she spoke with a Song Confucian scholar with the greatest integrity. Although Weng Wenhao did not agree with his actions in his heart, he loved him because of this. He was no longer angry at the moment and asked seriously: "Your country has such national strength, declaring war on the United States is undoubtedly a stone attack with eggs. Could it be... Is Your Majesty the King of Your Country not afraid of defeat?"

"Report to the Prime Minister: If the small country does not declare war, it will be morally defeated. The soldier can kill him, but not humiliate him. The small country is willing to die and never surrender." Zhu Jinxiu said the righteousness, which made Weng Wenhao, who wanted to say something else, immediately lost the interest in talking.

"Okay, I understand. Your country has full diplomatic freedom." Weng Wenhao said powerlessly, and he wanted to see off the guests immediately.

Seeing Weng Wenhao like this, Zhu Jinxiu said again: "There is a senior official here and I want to give the Prime Minister a gift."

Zhu Jinxiuyi said the gift, and Wang Yunwu next to Weng Wenhao shook his head hard again, indicating that he would not accept it. But Weng Wenhao is now willing to do so. He doesn't care how the North Koreans mocked him. He has his own ideals in his heart. So after laughing loudly, he said, "Okay. Then open it and see what gift it is."

As soon as Weng Wenhao said to open it, Zhu Jinxiu signaled his followers to open the wooden box. The red cloth faded away, and an old stone tablet appeared in the wooden box. Unlike what Wang Yunwu thought, this was not a stele specially engraved by Zhu Jinxiu to insult Wenhao. But this was a stone tablet specially selected by Zhu Jinxiu. The big Chinese characters on it were written from the right and vertically: "Foreign invasion, foreign barbarians will invade, and if they are not warned, they will be harmonious, and the country will be stolen." The two lines on the left are: "Discuss my descendants for thousands of years. Bingyin is made, Xin Wei is established."

"This is...this is..." Wang Yunwu, the deputy director of the Compilation Office of the Commercial Press and the inventor of the Four-corner Number Testing Code, finally more ancient books than Weng Wenhao. After he 'this' twice, he finally pointed to the stone tablet and shouted: "Is this a stele?!"

With these smiles, Zhu Jinxiu bowed proudly and said, "This is the treasure of the small country: the monument of the rebukes the king. The subordinate officials begged His Majesty for a long time before they received such a piece of respect to the Prime Minister."

Weng Wenhao didn't know what it was, but Wang Yun said the stele of the sacrificial monument on May 1st. The memory in his mind immediately surged up. The stele inscription was written by Daewoongjun, Korea during the Bingyin and the Bingyin in 1866, so it was called Bingyin. Bingyin was France. Americans came back in the year of Xinwei and occupied the Jianghua Strait to look like Britain to cut off North Korea's canal to make peace in Korea. Daewoongjun immediately asked someone to engrave the twelve characters written by Bingyin into an inscription and erected them in the streets and alleys of Seoul. This is Xinwei.

Bingyin and Xinwei both ended with the defeat of foreign barbarians. This was not a big deal at that time. However, China suffered from the division of the Chinese people every day after the Sino-Japanese War. The past of North Korea was often inspired by old scholars and passionate young people. It was not until the entire Qing Dynasty, regardless of government officials, changed from being criticized by foreigners to worshipping the foreigners. This story was gradually forgotten. Weng Wenhao was born in 1889. When he was a teenager, he naturally heard the past of "conscientiousness", but later he gradually forgot.

North Korean ambassador Zhu Jinxiu said goodbye. In his opinion, China is the upper country after all, and it is the mother country. North Korea's reinvention depends entirely on its mother country's efforts to help. Although there are still many interests left in Japan after the Sino-Japanese peace talks in the four years of Shenwu, one of the backgrounds of China and Japan's division of the Russian Grassland Governor's area is that Japan promises to give up all rights and vested interests in North Korea, so that it can obtain more than 400,000 square kilometers of territory. The departure of Japanese capital does not mean that Chinese capital has come in. Yang Rui not only ordered domestic capital to ban manipulate North Korean industries, but also loans to help North Korea develop itself, and the customs alliance also left a lot of time for North Korea.

This reconstruction is indeed a selfless reconstruction, not a robbery of you and me of intrigue. With such respect, Zhu Jinxiu only stopped even if he sarcastically mocks him. Weng Wenhao looked at the slander monument standing still. The four big words "Master and treason" on the inscription and the four words "Mutual comparison and war" that Hu Shi and others always said in his ears appeared in his mind at the same time. The four words were written in four words, and the battle was difficult to distinguish, so Weng Wenhao was petrified on the spot.

"Prime Minister, are there still meetings inside?" Wang Yunwu, who understood his thoughts, reminded.

"Oh, it's a meeting." Weng Wenhao agreed for a long time and finally said, "It's better to leave the meeting. I want to be quiet."

"This..." Wang Yunwu was familiar with Hu Shi when he was studying in Chinese public school before he went abroad. In the year of 1911, he almost became Sun Wen's secretary, and was hired by Cai Yuanpai as an official of the Ministry of Culture. After Cai Zheng changed his life and died, he relied on Hu Shi's strong praise to enter the Commercial Press Compilation Office. Such experience made him a loyal liberal who had not been to join the Brotherhood. Weng Wenhao's ideological changes were the focus of the Brotherhood. At this time, he saw that he hesitated because North Korea declared war on the United States and sent out the monument, Wang Yunwu immediately quickly returned to the inner room to inform everyone about the matter.

"What! North Korea has declared war?!" Gu Weijun was shocked. Although North Korea is insignificant, it will cause the cabinet to be criticized by morality at home, and the first person to be affected is him, the Foreign Minister.

"North Korea wants to hit the stone with an egg and hit the chariot with a mantis arm, so let's just let it go." Jiang Menglin from the Ministry of Culture said indifferently.

"North Korea declared war on the United States..." Zhang Dongsun, the Ministry of Rites, kept shaking his head, and then said decisively: "This must have been instructed by Yang Jingcheng."

"North Korea declared war based on a treaty, which is pitiful, but respectable." Ding Wenjiang, the Tobashi, said different from others, and was generally praised.

"If North Korea declares war on the United States, we must seize the time to declare neutrality. What about the Prime Minister? Why? "Master..." Ministry of Works Ma Junwudao, and it happened that Weng Wenhao was not here after he said this.

"I'll go see him." Zhan Tianyou, the Ministry of Mobility, said. He was silent before. But after Wu Jingchao winked at him, he stood up and went out to find Weng Wenhao.

"In addition to saying that North Korea would declare war on the United States, it also sent a slander monument." While heading to the hall, Wu Jingchao said the news that Wang Yunwu told him, quite worried. "Yongni seems to be hesitating."

"After all this, what else can I hesitate about?" Zhan Tianyou was puzzled, but then said: "Life is precious, love is more expensive. If you take care of your freedom, both can be abandoned."

Seeing that Zhan Tianyou, an old Yale brother member, was still in the mood to recite poems, Wu Jingchao had to smile bitterly, and said, "I am afraid that Yongni will not be able to see it for a while and fall into the integrity of the sour Confucian scholars. The so-called integrity is something that feudal rulers use to bind human nature, just like chastity. A truly free person does not care about integrity and chastity. He only has freedom and human nature. In order to prevent people from interfering with each other, he created democracy, a method of getting along with others..."

Wu Jingchao also nagged about a lot of things. When he and Zhan Tianyou walked to the hall, Weng Wenhao had already asked someone to put away the monument. He said: "Prime Minister, today's meeting..."

"Today's meeting will be over first. I want to be quiet." Weng Wenhao, who was evoked his childhood xenophobic memory, said silently.

"Then when will we declare neutrality?" Wu Jingchao asked. "North Korea has declared war now. If we are not neutral, we will not say that the United States will misunderstand, and even the escort will not be able to get through."

"Jiyi Academy..." Weng Wenhao remembered the attitude of Jiyi Academy. Yes, most of the representatives of Jiyi Academy were thinking about peace. "Then send this monument to Jiyi Academy." He said like a prank.

"Does Yongni have a knot in his heart?" Seeing Weng Wenhao say this, Zhan Tianyou asked directly.

"It's true." Zhan Tianyou is an elder, and his identity and status are higher than Hu Shi. When Weng Wenhao saw him inquiring, he told him bluntly. "The Koreans think harmony is a treason, which touched me deeply. During this period, I always think about a question, that is, we people who make their own decisions to give freedom to the people. Is this kind of imposition not a kind of dictatorship? They are used to having an emperor above their heads, the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanence, and the Old Almanac. We rashly think about changing the national system without discussing with them. Is this really right?

Some people say that if a country is not democratic, it cannot develop the economy, but our economic growth rate is the world's largest, surpassing the rest of the country in less than 30 years, and is only inferior to the United States; some people also say that if a country is not democratic, it cannot develop science and technology, but I have read the scientific report of the Academy of Sciences this year and I don't think that science and technology cannot develop."

"Yongni, I had such doubts before, but in the end I came up with an explanation: that is, the people on this land have been dictated for too long, and they have become accustomed to being enslaved. Of course, it will be difficult to accept the sudden freedom for a while, but it won't take long to get used to this freedom. Haven't you seen the students of Yan University? They are the most free people in the dictatorial country." Seeing Weng Wenhao expressing his doubts, Zhan Tianyou immediately persuaded him as a person who has experienced it.

"I know Yan University's students, but is this **** indulgence or spiritual freedom?" Weng Wenhao asked back, "As far as I know, Yan University's boys and girls are the most..." He couldn't say the word 'yin chaos', and paused for a moment before saying: "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of Yan University's students. No matter how I look at it, they are the most rebellious people."

The Yan Da male-female relationship was famous throughout the country, but Zhan Tianyou laughed and said, "This is because they do not believe in religion. Yong Ni, even Yang Jingcheng believes that the only Hebrew among Western civilizations is Hebrew, and the Greek two Greek civilizations are the most worthy of attention. Christ originated from the Hebrew. If freedom cannot be suppressed by religion, it is what you call the **** indulgence."

"But why are the Confucian Three Bonds and Five Constant Constantisms denounced as feudal and backward, and the suppression of Christianity called progress?" Weng Wenhao asked an evil question. This question was not raised by him, but written by Yang Jingcheng's book. "Of course, I am not saying that I agree with the Three Bonds and Five Constant Constant Constantisms. I am just thinking, excluding the difference between backward progress, have we ignored something?"

Weng Wenhao's question shocked Wu Jingchao. In terms of thought, he felt that Weng Wenhao was terminally ill. Freedom and democracy are actually a kind of faith. Since it is faith, there is no tolerance for any doubt or questioning, because even a little doubt will shake the entire faith. This is not science, but religion.

Wu Jingchao was shocked, Zhan Tianyou narrowed his eyes and said kindly: "It seems that Yongni is really going to be quiet. But before you think it through, I still want to say that throughout human history, the West is the source of human progress, and Western civilization is a civilized body that is superior to the East. I am afraid that Yang Jingcheng dares not deny this. Why did we keep learning from the West after the Opium War? It is because they are advanced than us..."

"No! No! No!" Weng Wenhao said three nos in a row, because he suddenly remembered a passage from Yang Jingcheng's works. In order not to forget, he wanted to say it immediately. "The British Whig historian McCaulay once said that all art, science and literature in the Western world are incomparable, and the people there are also elegant etiquette, insightful, and ready to make things happen out of nothing. They are tolerant, kind, humane, but almost completely lack courage and honesty.

They exist only as conquered people, the true conquerors are brave and decisive, loyal to their promises, deeply immersed in religion, and at the same time, they are foolish, arbitrary, and cruel. Therefore, every rough centurion can comfort himself, although his intelligence is inferior, his knowledge and taste are nothing but atheists, cowards, and slaves."

After reciting the words in this memory, Weng Wenhao said again: "Mr. Juncheng, the West is indeed the source of human civilization. Their art, technology and literature are indeed unparalleled, but what about this? They will eventually be destroyed by ignorant, arbitrary, and cruel conquerors! Are we learning from the West and pursuing freedom and progress in order to follow their footsteps?"

"Yingni!" Wu Jingchao looked at Weng Wenhao with deep resentment, "Didn't you promised me not to read Yang Jingcheng's books anymore? You are... I have said a long time ago that Yang Jingcheng's thoughts are poisonous! They are highly toxic! He is anti-civilization, anti-progress, and anti-humanity..."

"But he is not *******!" Weng Wenhao suddenly refuted for some reason. "He just believed that progress and freedom are the source of human destruction. He said that the history of human civilization is actually a history of separation that people separated from nature. At first, people had no self, and then gradually understood themselves, but they were still bound by religion, politics, and superstition. Finally, through the religious revolution and the Renaissance, human nature truly broke away from all constraints. Later, people created unparalleled civilizations, splendid literature, philosophy, and music, but this was just their self-satisfaction. When everyone lives for themselves, civilization began to end..."

Weng Wenhao said Yang Jingcheng's point of view, but Wu Jingchao looked blue with anger. In his opinion, this was a total betrayal! The mature Zhan Tianyou was silent all the time. After he finished speaking all the words, he said: "Yongni, but the world is now the West is conquering us, and the colonies of the whole world are theirs." Weng Wenhao was stunned and said: "I think Beihai's suggestions are useful. It is wonderful to see less Yang Jingcheng's things. His ideal is to turn this civilized world into a barbaric killing world. I don't know if this is fascism, but it is definitely more evil than fascism."

Weng Wenhao cannot explain why the West still ruled the world. After all, he was not Yang Rui's era. Europe had basically declined. If it weren't for the NATO led by the United States, they would have been defeated by the Soviet Union. This kind of downsizing was not only military, but also a kind of vital defeat. Just like an old man holding an AK47 facing a group of young people holding a melee gun, the generation difference of weapons is not important. Young people can bleed and die, but the most terrifying thing is that they can wait.

The lighthouse of freedom in America, religion delays his aging, immigration enriches his population, and the dollar oil system maintains his welfare, but he is only twenty years younger than Europe. The only terrible thing is that he not only enslaves the whole world economically, enjoys the entrustment of slave labor in the whole world, but also seizes the elite population of the whole world. In this way, the decline of America is the decline of the entire world civilization. The longer those countries or nations that are different from America persist, the longer the world civilization will continue; on the contrary, when the whole world becomes America, the death knell has sounded and the end of civilization has quietly arrived.

However, in later generations, there were always a few people who could see the civilization clearly and insisted on shouting that the disintegration and division of **** so that the glory of freedom and democracy shines on all mankind. They completely forgot about the Warring States Period that those who hoped that all countries would forever eliminate the war and the world would be unified. What would the end of this? Suppose that there could be an external force to maintain a balance of power in the seven countries and prevent the entire China from entering the cycle of absolute imperialism, the classical Chinese civilization would never have almost perished in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Weng Wenhao did not have the ability to look at the world for a hundred years, and Yang Rui did not need to describe to the world in his own works (it was really his own works). For him, world history would be brand new and created by him and countless people.

So, under Zhan Tianyou's stare, Weng Wenhao finally nodded. He sighed: "I have thought a lot in the past few months, and some inexplicable things always popped up in my heart." He randomly took off his black hat, reached out and grabbed his hair and smiled bitterly: "I lose my hair every time I wash my hair, and it's more than I lose every time. Alas, if this continues, I will become bald."

There was indeed less hair on Weng Wenhao's head, and a small part of it was as bright as a scaly head. Zhan Tianyou, who was relieved, said: "Yongni has worked hard this year, but we must not forget our ideals. I think as long as we suffer for another year, maybe half a year, all of this will be settled." After he said this, he mentioned today's important matters, and said: "Japan and North Korea declare war on the United States, and we should immediately announce outside neutrality. If we don't announce it, the CSKA will also let us announce it."
Chapter completed!
