British writer

Chapter 283 The little pearl is about to drop

There are only two things that Emperor Dasheng has to worry about:

studies, country.

They were all a little dizzy,

Could it be that this great writer named Lu Shi really had a natural affinity for college students because he taught at London Economics and Political Science, and was willing to put aside national and national prejudices and take the initiative to share how to write a paper?

How could there be such a good person...

Various expressions of gratitude came from the scene.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

Thought,

The students at the University of Tokyo are much smarter and easier to deceive than the people at Cambridge.

He glanced at Juchi Dalu,

I saw the chief with a livid face, raising his hands and applauding slowly.

This behavior was obviously against one's will.

But if he had known that Lu Shi had silenced all the newspaper media bosses in London, but had to sing praises to the Mirror, he might not be so depressed.

It is not unfair to lose to Lu Shi.

Fortunately, not everyone was impressed by Lu Shi.

All the professors at Tokyo University looked dissatisfied.

If Lu Shi was not from London, with the aura of LSE and Cambridge University, how could he win trust so easily?

These students have little experience,

Advocate for foreigners!

Lu Shi continued: "What I just said is actually related to the Global University Rankings. With the current ranking of Tokyo Imperial University, you must be dissatisfied, right?"

The students below nodded frequently.

Lu Shi was ready to promote his impact factor and create a real academic exchange.

As a result, someone below raised their hands.

He was a Japanese man who was quite Westernized, wearing a suit and tie.

He is about 35 years old, but his hair already has a lot of gray mixed with black hair, and he is combed meticulously.

Lu Shi knew this person,

He also read the other party's "masterpiece" -

"The Key to the Rise and Fall of the Qing Dynasty", "Finance in the Entrepreneurial Era of the Qing Dynasty".

Author: Naito Honan.

Lu Shi knew that the next step was the key to this exchange.

He stretched out his hand calmly,

"Who are you?"

Naito Honan replied respectfully: "I, Naito Honan, am currently working as a columnist in Mikawa Shimbun, Osaka Asahi Shimbun, and Mansoho Newspaper. To put it bluntly, I can be considered a colleague of Professor Lu."

Lu Shi was noncommittal;

He didn't want to be a companion with the other party.

Naito Honan continued: "I heard that Professor Lu has a private museum in London? I wonder, what do you think of the protection of cultural relics in your country?"

Lu Shi frowned, remembering the article written by the other party, "Should a book interview envoy be sent to Chi Na"?

This article is divided into two parts,

The first part is more academic, introducing the changes and preservation of Chinese classics in the past dynasties.

It's pretty normal up to here.

The second part suddenly had a sudden brainstorm, calling for these classics to be collected in Japan during the turmoil in China, and believed that this was the best policy for the sake of cultural relics.

On the surface, its brain circuitry is very similar to that of the British Museum.

In fact, the two are completely different.

Because the British know that they are robbing, they give all excuses and maintain their thick skin;

And Naito Honan really believes that,

It has almost the same meaning as the so-called "I do this for your own good".

Which of the two is better or worse?

Lu Shi could not comment.

He said: "Mr. Naito, I want to hear your point of view first."

Naito Honan smiled,

"Professor Lu, that's what I think. Since Japan is now the center of Chinese civilization, then..."

Lu Shi raised his hand to interrupt,

"I don't agree with your premise."

I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even finish the first sentence.

In an instant, the scene became quiet,

"..."

Juchi Dalu couldn't help but smile secretly,

Liberal arts, indeed, is a discipline where public opinion makes sense and mother-in-law makes sense.

The two sides finally started fighting!

Let's see if Lu Shi can escape unharmed under the siege of so many experts and scholars.

Do you really think that you are Zhuge Liang who went to Soochow alone?

Naito Honan said nothing;

At this time, his "Cultural Center Movement Theory" and "Tang and Song Dynasty Transformation Theory" had not yet taken shape, and he was just a bad brother in academic terms.

But professors at Tokyo University are not vegetarians.

Someone immediately said: "Professor Lu, have you ever heard of "The Theory of Huayi Metamorphosis"?"

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows,

"I know. 'Chongzhen ascended to heaven, Hongguang fell into captivity, Tang and Lu were able to protect the southern region, and Tartar captors rampaged across the Central Plains. This is the state of China changing into barbarians.'"

Everyone present was speechless.

Can they imagine that Lu Shi had heard of "The Theory of Huayi Metamorphosis"?

However, reciting the original text is too awesome.

The professor praised: "Professor Lu is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Of course, I don't agree with this."

Lu Shi was a little confused.

what's the situation?

How can the other party refute himself?

Who would have thought that the man went on to explain his point of view: "I think there is another sentence before 'there will be no China after the fall of Ming Dynasty', 'there will be no China after the cliff mountain'."

"Tsk..."

Lu Shi couldn't help but be speechless.

The other party's taste was too strong.

He pondered: "Where did this 'There is no China after Yashan' come from?"

When asked this question, the professor was confused.

But someone immediately stood up to cooperate.

"Shanga Suxing!"

This is a proper wheel battle.

Lu Shi thought to himself,

I really feel like Mr. Kong Ming is fighting with other scholars.

He said: "Yamaga Moyuki was one of the founders of the ancient school of thought in the early Edo period and an active advocate of the bushido spirit. However, he probably never said something like 'there will be no China after Yashan'."

This remark immediately provoked a rebuttal;

"Professor Lu, you must have evidence when speaking."

Lu Shi took a deep breath and chanted:

The sloping line on the cliffs and mountains on the promontory no longer belongs to China.

There is no place to sacrifice one's life in the belly of a fish, how much more can there be a river full of ambergris?

Looking across the Guanhe River is not a Han flag, blowing the sun and the moon is a Hujia.

Chang'e has nowhere to go, leaning on the silver wheel and crying for the sweet-scented osmanthus.

It's in Chinese.

Although most of the students present knew Chinese studies, this poem was still a little out of line.

A professor said: "Professor Lu, please explain. This is what you did..."

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him muttered: "That's wrong. This is written by Qian Qianyi, a scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, and it's called Hou Qiuxing."

Qian Qianyi is considered a celebrity.

His "Water is too cold" is very out of the ordinary.

Lu Shi nodded,

"Yes. The poem I just recited was written by Qian Qianyi."

The scene was quiet again,

"..."

The students looked at each other.

Suddenly, someone said: "So, the view just now is recognized by the Han people themselves?"

As soon as these words came out, the silence was shattered.

The students couldn't help but talk.

Lu Shi opened his arms,

"Everyone, listen to me first."

He looked around and said: "China has rhymed poems and quatrains, and Japan has waka and haiku. When appreciating such works, one should take into account the background of the times and the author's mood. I think no one will deny this."

If we only talk about poetry, we can indeed deny it with all our strength.

But when it comes to haiku, you have to admit it.

No one said a word.

Lu Shi continued: "Let's look at Qian Qianyi first. He lost his integrity and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he never forgot the Ming Dynasty and funded many anti-Qing and restoration activities. That poem was written by him after he heard about the murder of King Gui of the Southern Ming Dynasty. .So, do you understand?”

It's easy to understand,

"Houqiuxing" is obviously borrowing from the past to satirize the present.

On the surface, it’s called Yashan.

In fact, it has nothing to do with Yashan.

Qian Qianyi only used the fall of the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty to metaphor the fall of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The phenomenon of this dynasty change is completely different from the connotation of the so-called "there will be no China after Yashan".

With the help of that poem, we can come to the conclusion that Feng Jing is really being treated as a fool.

All the teachers and students of Dongda were silent.

Juchi Dalu looked around, feeling anxious.

At this moment, Naito Hunan began to speak again: "Is there any evidence for Professor Lu's statement about Qian Qianyi? In your words, Qian Qianyi is too contradictory. As a Ming minister, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty wants to regain its sight."

This question sounds like nonsense.

Lu Shi said: "It's more than that. Qian Qianyi claims to be a clean figure but is keen on officialdom and fame, and boasts of morality but is not loyal to the kings of the two dynasties. Mr. Naito, have you ever heard of "The Biography of Erchen"?"

Naito Honan shook his head.

A professor from the University of Tokyo next to him explained in a low voice: "The Biography of the Second Officials of the Qin Dynasty is about the Ming officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty."

Naito Honan nodded secretly,

"Buying people's hearts is what you should do."

The professor said "Uh..." and said, "It's not what you think. Emperor Qianlong believed that those traitors were talented but intangible people, and they were particularly despicable and shameful. "The Biography of the Second Officials" was extremely derogatory, and some It means humiliation.”

Naito Honan:? ? ?

I really can't understand Emperor Qianlong's brain circuit.

The professor added: "There is also a book, "The Biography of the Ministers who Martyred in the Victory Dynasty", which writes about the ministers and scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty who died fighting against the Qing Dynasty. It is full of praise."

Naito Honan was even more confused.

Is it true that "thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness"?

After a while, he finally understood.

In the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, the rebels of the Ming Dynasty in "The Legend of Erchen" were about equal to chamber pots.

Chamber pot~

Just use it when it's time to use it.

Who would come up and smell it when it’s not in use?

Therefore, publish a book and criticize it vigorously, so as not to let the world misunderstand that the Qing court did not value loyalty, integrity, and ethics.

But thinking about it carefully, Emperor Qianlong seemed to have no shame in blaming others.

They are of the Aixinjueluo lineage, and counting up, they have been receiving Ming Dynasty salaries for decades.

Aren’t you the second minister?

But this is definitely not something that can be said.

Because if you tell it, Japan will no longer be different from the other ministers.

Lu Shi said: "It seems that Mr. Naito still agrees with the evidence I gave. After all, it is written historical data, right?"

Naito Honan nodded,

"Yes."

Lu Shi was a little curious,

"Then, Mr. Naito, do you agree with the saying 'There will be no China after Yashan'?"

"Ah this..."

Naito Honan did not say anything, nor did he say whether he agreed or disagreed.

But this attitude is equivalent to making a statement.

There were whispers at the scene,

"Does Naito-kun object to our views?"

"hiss……"

"The traitor is around."

…

The veins on Naito Honan's forehead popped out.

Lu Shi felt like laughing when he saw it.

The other party was actually beaten into rape, which is really interesting.

He knew that Naito Konan had traveled to China a few years ago and wrote the travel notes of "Yanshan Chushui\

,"He was very contemptuous of the Qing government in terms of military and politics. He believed that they were all rotten zombies and strongly advocated Japan to replace them.

But culturally, he is a person who is supreme in Chinese culture.

His own cultural motherland is China. "As long as it is Chinese, I like everything." He even strongly opposes Japan's national policy of "departing from Asia and joining Europe" and believes that "the history of the East is the history of the development of Chinese culture."

Therefore, there is a very important argument:

Orthodox theory of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

The Japanese are foreigners,

The Yuan and Qing dynasties were also foreigners,

Since everyone is a foreigner, you can "enter China", why can't I "enter China"?

It is impossible for such people to admit that "there is no China after Yashan". It is probably a misrepresentation for modern people to attribute this to Naito Hunan.

But forced by reality, he saw that he was about to be labeled a traitor, and he had to admit,

"I have no particular opinion on that statement," he said.

Lu Shi snorted coldly in his heart,

When Japan launched the war, it was supported by two seemingly contradictory theories.

One is the "Yuan and Qing orthodox theory\

,"One is "Theory of Yuan and Qing non-Chinese\

,"In fact, the purpose is the same, both to find "legitimate precedents" for war.

This is the same as Naito Konan now abandoning academic opinions for his own benefit,

Extremely hypocritical!

It's a pity that in the current environment in Japan, loyalty does not necessarily mean absolute disloyalty.

The discussion became louder,

"What does 'no special opinion' mean? Isn't it just 'reserved opinion'?"

"This Naito has been to China before, could it be..."

"I think the same thing as you. His thoughts no longer belong to the Emperor."

…

Naito Honan wants to cry but has no tears.

Now he does not have the status he would later achieve in academia, so he is being attacked by a group of people, and his mentality is about to collapse.

Lu Shi almost burst out laughing,

I never expected that there would be an internal split as an option.

He cleared his throat,

"Everyone... everyone... let's continue. As for my views and those arguments, are they acceptable?"

Everyone became quiet,

Is it okay if you don’t agree?

It is really not fun to talk about Chinese civilization with Lu Shi, a Chinese.

Lu Shi said: "In short, the view that 'Japan is now the center of Chinese civilization' is still open to question, and it really cannot be discussed based on this premise."

The Japanese will definitely not recognize it.

But Lu Shi didn't give them a chance to refute, and looked at Naito Hunan again.

"Mr. Naito, did you just want to talk about cultural relics?"

Naito Honan nodded,

"I believe that during the turmoil of the Qing Dynasty, classics and cultural relics should be collected in Japan. This is to protect cultural relics."

Lu Shi felt like he had traveled through time again,

Just a year earlier, he had debated this issue at the British Museum with Shadney Cowen, keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings.

His answer at that time can be copied completely.

He said: "Then, one day in the future, when China has the ability to protect cultural relics, will you return them?"

Who would have thought,

"meeting!"

Naito Honan nodded repeatedly,

"of course!"

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, then completely speechless.

grass!

In my heart, ten thousand horses of grass and mud were galloping past.

He forgot that the other party was a demon.

Fortunately, there were a lot of crazy people at the scene, and they were not in the same direction as Naito Hunan.

Suddenly a young student stood up,

"idiot!"

boom--

There was a muffled sound.

The student punched Naito Konan hard on the right cheek.

Lu Shi:? ? ?

This punch gave him a small Japanese shock.

Naito Honan covered his face and backed away.

"You...wait!!@#￥%..."

Because his front teeth were knocked out, his speech was leaky, so it sounded like he was uttering gibberish.

The scene was chaotic.

Juchi Dalu rushed into the crowd and hugged the aggressive student.

The student was still yelling: "You bastard! Japan is the continuation of East Asia and the spark of civilization. How could you...how could you...you traitor! Me! @* # ￥%..."

The scolding can be as unpleasant as it sounds.

Lu Shi saw it, but couldn't help complaining in his heart.

I wonder if this student will still feel that Japan is a "continuation of East Asia" after learning about the later national policy of "leaving Asia and joining Europe".

In comparison, Naito Honan seems normal.

In other words, more abnormal?

Lu Shi was a little confused.

In Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, were there still normal people?

It’s really hard to say.

Kikuchi Tailu finally brought the scene back to order.

But he didn't punish the student who committed the crime. He just said, "Professor Lu, I'm telling you a joke."

Lu Shi waved his hands repeatedly,

"Normal. Very normal. I have seen academic discussions turn into martial arts more than once. For example, Professor Gale in advertising and Dr. Freud in psychology; and during the time when the Nobel Prize was awarded, scientists also No less beatings."

I have also heard of it at Dalu of Juchi.

He smiled and said, "Professor Lu is still very knowledgeable."

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"No no."

He reluctantly changed the subject and said: "President Kikuchi, this is a fight. Do we want to continue the exchange?"

"Ah this..."

Juchi Dalu became even more depressed.

Originally, I wanted the teachers and students to besiege Lu Shi.

The result was not bad, it was such a big joke that people saw it, which was really embarrassing.

He looked around and felt that he really couldn't go on any further, so he asked in a low voice: "How about we finish talking about the topic just now and end it?"

Lu Shi said "Huh?"

"Still chatting? If we continue to chat, I'm worried that Mr. Naito will not simply lose a front tooth."

The foot of Kikuchi is full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

Indeed, Naito Konan might get his head broken.

But it can’t end like this, right?

If word spreads, where will Dongda University’s reputation go?

As the chief, Kikuchi Dalu could only bite the bullet and said: "Professor Lu, let's continue talking."

Lu Shi had no idea.

"All right."

He then looked at Naito Honan, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Mr. Naito, what do you think China should do to gain the power to protect cultural relics?"

Naito Honan hissed in pain and replied: "Civilization, like people, will also experience growth, aging and death. When civilization develops to a high degree of maturity, it will produce toxins, which require the impact of external culture to detoxify .”

This sounds nice to say,

Detoxification?

Isn't it a war?

Lu Shi said: "Do you want to give an example of the Five Husbands disrupting China? Or the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty?"

Naito Honan was predicted to move, and he was in a daze for a while.

Later, he said: "I have a good medicine, but it tastes bitter... I think China should give up its borders, disband its national defense, and accept foreign management."

As for which foreign country it is, you can think about it with your knees.

Only now did the students have a good attitude toward Naito Honan.

"This man is not without merit."

"Hahaha, I agree."

"Well, it's a pity that the Chinese don't know that we are helping them."

…

Lu Shi frowned,

"Mr. Naito, aren't you worried that your fantasy will fail, but you have to take the medicine prescribed to others?"

This is exactly the case,

After the end of World War II, Japan was deprived of all its gains from its aggression and expansion, and even its original land, the four northern islands, were cut off.

Besides that,

Demilitarization, no belligerent rights, garrisoned...

American soldiers even have extraterritorial jurisdiction. Japan has no right to try crimes committed in Japan, not even the power to arrest and prosecute. They must be tried by the United States' own military courts.

This is a power that only the colonial master country has.

Therefore, the medicine prescribed by Naito Honan was indeed taken by Japan itself.

He was stunned, lowered his head and thought,

He didn't know why, but Lu Shi's words always made him feel like he had to be convinced.

However, his silence was once again regarded as betrayal by the students.

"I knew this man would never change his ways!"

"idiot!"

"How did he show up at Imperial University!? Why does he ask questions on our behalf!?"

…

then,

boom--

Another person rushed out and punched Naito Honan hard.
