"What? The scientific research classic used by the Guangdong thief Zhao Kuo was written by my Qing officials?" In the Forbidden City, Xianfeng gasped as he looked at the memorial, and then threw the memorial to the ground, yelling: "The family business of our ancestors was ruined by these slaves! These beasts in clothes!"

It is too easy to get into Zhao Kuo’s Guangzhou. As long as you claim to be a businessman, you will lose your braids and pass through the city without any obstacles, it has become a "animal world". There are blonde and blue-eyed "foreign men" walking on the street, as well as "Ming Dynasty thieves" wearing costumes and buns, and of course there are "long-haired beasts" with long hair and draped shoulders.

A spy from an official easily bought Zhao Kuo’s adapted version and original version of “Haiguo Tuzhi” and “Yinghuan Zhiluo” in Guangzhou. According to the clerk, the seller sold it quite well, and the merchants bought more than scholars: You see, those who come to buy like thieves must be scholars;

When scholars want to buy it, they come to buy it secretly, just like junior high school students who buy pornographic magazines in later generations. They not only look around but also want to cover their faces;

The one who comes to buy it with openness must be merchants. Merchants have always been the target of contempt and strict prevention by Confucianism, because this group of people "pursuing profit" does not know what "loyalty, filial piety, integrity, righteousness, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" is, and they have to make money. Most of them want to do business with foreigners. In order to understand each other, they don't care about the traitors or not, they just take it.

The original two men were actually both the Qing ministers. Not to mention this, they were actually designated books for the rebels and thieves pseudo-in-the-science examinations. They were immediately reported to Xianfeng by Qing officials.

The use of books for scientific examinations is extraordinary. The scientific examinations represent what ideas the ruling class wants the people below to have. This is the so-called foundation for a country.

The reason why Confucius was despised by hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and after Qin Shihuang, every king regarded it as a treasure was because he taught people to be loyal to the emperor and not to rebel.

Hong Xiu's full-length examination was the Bible and Confucius. Of course, Emperor Xianfeng could not dig Confucius' tomb. It can only be said that Hong Xiuquan was a cult, and this Guangdong thief Zhao Kuo ignored Confucius's second son! He actually chose his servant to be the emperor's teacher!

To create a rebel who rebels in the emperor, he would use the books under the Qing emperor himself as his ideological foundation. How serious is this matter!

This is simply like the thugs of the Black Brick Kiln wrote a book called "Escape Guide". Isn't the boss of the Black Brick Kiln angry?

After looking through the "Haiguo Tuzhi - Zhao Kuobi" sent by his subordinates for a hurry, he suddenly became angry: What kind of bird book is all about embracing the thighs of the barbarians!

"The word "rebellion" is not enough to express the shamelessness of the Guangdong thief. This is shameless! The world is so big that you can't find elegant words to describe this beast!!!!" Xianfeng rubbed his temples with his hands, and his hands trembling as he pinched the book. The book seemed to be slapping him in the face.

"Learn from the barbarians' skills to enrich the people and strengthen the country"?

Not only did he betray loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, but he also nakedly recognized that the barbarians were the country of the Celestial Empire!

What are the Yi people? In the eyes of Xianfeng and his Confucian elites, it is probably similar to the feeling of Zhao Kuo watching chimpanzees in the zoo.

But one day, these chimpanzees rushed up with bayonets and screamed, and threw their master to the ground in a few strokes: Although I can't beat you, are you still chimpanzees?

And now there are traitors who claim to be a master of the enemy? Some people hold people's thighs, who have ever seen someone hold people's thighs?

Xianfeng's mood was probably similar to the classic reply on the forum of later generations: "Oh my God, the poster is not only eating shit, but also having a great time!"

Now, Mr. Robinson can be said to be a wolf, fearful and hated by Hong Xiuquan; but for Zhao Kuo, he is regarded as a dung beetle, and in addition to hatred, he is also disgusting.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo had a relationship with foreigners. Xianfeng had heard of it. This was because slaves rebelled not only to be slave owners, but also to collude with other slave owners!

The latter is more abominable than the former because the latter has no idea what kind of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame are!

"Does foreigners collude with rebels want to be unfavorable to the Celestial Empire? These wild beasts!" Xianfeng threw the book with red eyes and gritted his teeth, as if he was throwing Zhao Kuo's face, and shouted: "Check me out how this evil book is leaked!"

On this day, the old literary young man Wei Yuan was humming: "The Qing Dynasty has produced Emperor Xianfeng, like the sun shining everywhere." He happily searched the information and wrote the fourth revised version of "Haiguo Tuzhi". To be honest, since he learned that he had a confidant last year, the old literary young man walked lightly, which shows that he wrote well and still has a future.

I fantasized every day that I might be borrowed by a hero of a certain ethnic group to learn from the strengths of the barbarians, and I might be famous in history.

But just as he, the county magistrate, was giggling behind, in front of him, a group of tiger-like soldiers of the Eight Banners pouted and could hang an oil bottle, and entered the Xinghua County Government with murderous intent.

The yamen runners who were signing houses and playing cards heard the news and thought it was a civil unrest again. They hurried out and saw that there were such adults with dizzy uniforms, and they knelt down in panic. The leader just asked, "Everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the mouth with a plan, and then he was tied up.

"After the order, the rebel beast Wei Yuan and his accomplices, they will be captured by the orders, and all the criminals in Xinghua County Yamen will take them down!" The imperial envoy yelled.

Because the emperor was furious, the case was handled very quickly. Within ten days, the nine tribes of Wei Yuan, the yamen runners, the masters, the old man who cleaned the county yamen, the nine tribes of the whole family who bought books, the nine tribes of the stereotyped tribes of the printing apprentice, the nine tribes of the bookstore owner, and any nine tribes of the people with "Haiguo Tuzhi" at home (both families, both literary young people, Wei Yuan's buddies) were arrested in the capital.

When I arrived at Tianzhu, I saw that it was full of people, which was nothing more than those who had something to do with the three families: Wei Yuan, Xu Jishe, and Ye Mingchen.

Then there was torture. Wei Yuan was stunned at first and asked the judges: "I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I write books to share the worries of the emperor. You don't know that the world is worried before..."

"I'm worried about you! Keep pouring pepper water!" The judge jumped and shouted, then pointed at Wei Yuan's nose and said, "We have mastered all the things you write witchcraft and incite rebellion! We don't even care about asking about rebellion! You should hurry up and explain to your fellow party members!"

Wei Yuan, a literary young man who was dying, was just a rabbit's strength. After half an hour, he shouted dying: "I am a bear! I am a bear! I will explain where the bear is nesting! Stop beating..."

Xiao Ye's family is not much better than Old Wei. In fact, he was in a good situation at the beginning. Ye Mingchen was the emperor's beloved minister. Didn't you say that Xianfeng lacked eyes? So the ministers also helped Xiao Ye speak.

Overall, the only thing that Xianfeng deserves to be envied by future generations is that he can see shock when he looks at his successive memorials, as exciting as a roller coaster, like a housewife who sits on the sofa and watches soap opera all day long: the unexpected finale in the show shocked her - Oh, isn’t this always the idol drama "Five Hundred Years of Happyness"? How did the ending become the horror movie "Saw"?

Before this was just beginning, the emperor had no idea what happened to Ye Mingchen. He thought he had killed the thief and refused to surrender. He shed a few drops of tears from the emperor for five hundred years.

As a result, when the demon book case was released, Xianfeng was almost angry. The ministers around him immediately turned to the ruling: Ye Mingchen was so happy to be successful, incompetent, cowardly, corruption, defeat in a row, and suicide after being captured three days, and the demon book was replaced by corpses, etc., all of these truths were crazy and piled up on Xianfeng's table.

When Xianfeng saw the "big finale", he immediately vomited blood: I thought I had raised a tiger, but it turned out to be a mouse!

In the past, Ye Mingchen yelled in the memorial: Zhao Kuo was destroyed while chatting and laughing, but soon he and Guangzhou were both gone, causing the emperor to be in vain. He also heard that for the sake of this wasteful corpse, his son and the thief were doing business and rebels to return the corpse, which lost all the face of the Qing Dynasty!

Now, the anger that was fooled by the "soap opera screenwriters" was spread on Ye Mingchen's descendants, and they were already gritting their teeth and making a furious: Even if I suck my face by myself, I will take revenge on you, Ye Mingchen, a bastard!

Xu Jishe was better, but he was so embarrassed in Fujian that Xiaodaohui was uprising in Xiamen. The emperor was so angry that he wanted to punish him.

How many people should be killed? How to kill has not been decided yet, but it is imperative to confiscate the "demon book" and burn it immediately. The Qing Dynasty controlled areas were ordered to not destroy these two sets of books. Dare to collect and read them, and the entire family of the traffickers will be destroyed!

With such a big disturbance, Zhao Kuo's side of course also got it.

But Hai Song didn't take this matter seriously either.

When Huan Zhuguo came to report to the "Emperor", he put the matter to the final report. Zhao Kuo was playing with a British Minnier gun on the table. When the Qing Dynasty called "Haiguo Tuzhi" and other books as "demon books" and was destroying it in a mess, Zhao Kuo's answer was not beyond Huan Zhuguo's surprise. Zhao Kuo just curled his lips and said, "These idiots."

When Huan Zhuguo was about to leave, Zhao Kuo called him and asked, "How are Wei Yuan and others?"

"Of course, the whole family was arrested and I heard that this matter involved many people. The Qing Yao probably handled this matter like the "Ming History Case". "Huang Zhuguo reported.

"These guys are all unlucky." Zhao Kuo murmured to himself, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked Huan Zhuguo's Highway: "Supporting the Country, will you imitate and write one of them? It's mainly the part that Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times to invite him to do it."

"This rough man! "The Memorial to the Emperor" was written by Zhuge Liang himself! The detailed written by Sangu is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Huang Zhuguo laughed in his stomach, but his face was serious: "I don't know what Your Majesty meant, please let me know."

Zhao put his legs on the table, knocked his fingers on his knees and said, "That is to say, Wei Yuan and his men are like Zhuge Liang, who are... that rare talent in the world, one is the dragon and the other is the phoenix. He has great knowledge, and those who get it will win the world. Then, I am the one who is eager to seek talent, saying that if they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will naturally accept them."

Huan Zhuguo was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if they were in Guangzhou, they were far away in the capital and were prisoners of Qing Yao. Their heads fell off every day. How could we..."

"Yes. My head fell off soon." Zhao Kuo nodded and waved his hand: "So, add one. If anyone can save them from prison and send them to me, I will give him 200,000 taels of silver; if anyone can save their nephews, I will give him 100,000 taels of silver."

"Your Majesty, you...you...you help the country finally echoed in the chest: "You are crazy!" He pressed his throat, wiped his sweat, and said: "They are in the Heavenly Prison of Qing Yao. This is extremely difficult. But Mr. Wei Yuan has a foresight and knowledge, and is a genius who is rare in the world. I admire him very much. Although we do not have the power of the Heavenly Society in the north, but..."

Zhao Kuo impatiently interrupted the flattery that Huan Zhuguo had misunderstood and shouted: "Who told you to say this! Write it quickly and send someone to sneak into the big city controlled by the Qing Dynasty, post it everywhere, so that the Qing Yao knew what I mean."

"Your Majesty, you have such a big fanfare? Then they don't have to die?! How can you rescue him?" Huan Zhuguo was dumbfounded.

Zhao Kuo smiled, put his gun in his arms, picked up the Zhao Kuo version of Haiguo Tuzhi that he had worked hard to compile from the table, touched it with love, and snorted coldly: "Who said I want to save it? I want to save them to death! Not only that, I also want to use this to cut off the signs of the Western learning of the Qing Dynasty! If I learn, don't learn it anymore, don't think about it in the future! Good things are all my own!"

The pseudo-Song rebel thief Changmao posted a heavy sum of money to recruit heroes to rescue Wei Yuan and others. The list of the list of the white list quickly appeared on Xianfeng's desk. He looked at the white list word by word. Xianfeng sneered and muttered: "Zhuge Liang? 200,000 taels? It's really hard for Wei Yuan. He lived to be 60 years old. I didn't even notice that I had so many old lie dragons under my command! The Guangdong thief was far from being able to save him, so he offered a high price to save these evil words, such as having no father or king, insulted the gentleman, selling his country to charm the enemy, and thundering the sky! He really loved talents as much as his life! I am not as good as the Guangdong thief... After a long time, I am not as fucking as you Guangdong thief!!!"

"Don't calm down. Don't cool down." The eunuch next to him was already scared by the old Buddha's words to himself. This guy was so annoyed.

Under Zhao Kuo's active "rescue", the "Demon Book Case" was quickly concluded, and everything was implemented in a policy of speed, strictness and expansion: Wei Yuan, Xiao Ye and 23 main culprits, were executed (Ye Mingchen was dug out from the ground), 97 people were beheaded, and 700 wives, concubines, daughters, and grandsons were exiled as slaves.

Stimulated by the list of rescue heroes, Xianfeng hated Western learning. Not only did "Haiguo Tuzhi" and "Yinghuan Zhiluo" become banned books in the Qing Dynasty, but Xianfeng also found more than 20 sets of books on "Western Studies" with a keen eye, all of which were included in the list of banned books to burn, including books on study of Portugal written during the Ming Dynasty.

This type of book was called "Western Learning" by Haisong, but was called "demon books" in the Qing Dynasty and was completely banned.

Not to mention who dares to collect and sell such "demon books" and kill them all. Moreover, even officials who worked in the Qing Dynasty did not dare to record their work experience for one or twenty years. This job has become a similar nature to "underground work". For novices, they can only be told and must not leave any records of Western learning.

Later historians have a bit of a debate about "The Demon Book Redemption of the Corpse", one of the ten most bizarre cases of the Qing Dynasty: it was mainly because the Hai Emperor had put a trap on Xianfeng in rescuing Wei Yuan.

The view is from the perspective of hindsight: this hypocritical rescue angered Xianfeng and delayed the study of Western learning by the Qing Dynasty for at least twenty years. At that time, the Qing Dynasty began to fully study Western learning, but it was already too late.

Let’s talk about the Sea Emperor, who is known as the “Far East Old Fox”, it is normal to play the uncivilized Qing emperor. With the level of the Qing Dynasty in the world political arena, it is abnormal to not be played by him.

The main objections were a group of personality worshippers, or later Neo-Confucian disciples, who claimed that the Hai Emperor was so wise, kind, and had a great vision. How could the saint king who came out every five hundred years do such a thing as deliberately saving others? What's more, the books compiled by these people became the earliest enlightenment readings of Hai Song, and the Hai Emperor also gave Wei Yuan and others a high historical evaluation.

But the latter is powerless in historical evidence, and countless historical evidence shows that the Haihuang has no feeling at all about the experiences of Wei Yuan and others.

The former British consul in Guangzhou in 1854 claimed in the letter that the Emperor of Hai was having dinner with him and heard the news. His expression had not changed at all, but he praised the steak for being well made.

And because of this rescue list, in the decades later, many people claimed that the unlucky nephews went to Haijing to receive a bounty of 100,000 taels or asked for an official job. The Hai Emperor's policy to such people was: beat me with a stock!

In fact, after receiving the news that Wei Yuan and others died tragically and Western learning was completely banned in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Kuo, a shameless person in later generations, was extremely happy. He suppressed the urge to laugh and praised the steak in order to cover up in front of the British consuls. After all, he had angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty's literary inquisition and his sympathy for the unfortunate experience of great masters such as Wei Yuan in front of the consuls of foreign countries countless times.

After leaving the consulate, he couldn't hide his joy, and went to the military camp to find the French officers in the name of inspection and shouted.

When he returned to the "Governor's Mansion", this guy in a tuxedo sat in a chair drunk, unable to even untied the bow tie on his neck.

At this time, two soft and boneless hands gently reached over, skillfully put down their bow tie for him, unbuttoned the Fengji button on their Western shirt, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you have been drinking too much recently."
