Qiao Zhiqing's carriage returned to the door of the presidential palace, and it was almost dusk at this time, but the number of people in the square gradually increased.All of them wore long whips and gray robes.Holding a yellow flag in his hand and holding a slogan.The pro-soldiers of the presidential palace were under martial law outside the gate with loaded guns and ammunition, and looking at the formation of the inner and outer three layers, there was enough strength of a regiment.After Qiao Zhiqing got out of the carriage, Huang Feihong hurriedly rushed forward and saluted."
Feihong, what's the matter, what is the origin of these people" Qiao Zhiqing's face elongated and frowned."
Dashuai, I don't know what's going on.It was only then that the soldiers were on alert. ”Huang Feihong hung his head in shame."
Brother Qiao, I probably know what's going on."
Hui'er stood behind Qiao Zhiqing with a red face, hanging her head and muttering quietly."
Oh," Qiao Zhiqing looked at her and frowned suspiciously."
Their costumes look like Confucian students in Nanjing.They have always called themselves disciples of Confucius, and they refused to cut off their braids.The New Culture Movement had already started for three days, and they were cutting their braids and smashing the Confucian Temple, and they must have been unconvinced, so they gathered here to make trouble. ”Hui'er replied timidly, like a child who had done something wrong."
That's interesting, let's go check it out."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled curiously, turned his head and motioned for Hui'er and Huang Feihong to follow.When the Confucian scholars saw Qiao Zhiqing coming, they thought that he was sent by the government to talk, and they surrounded him.Huang Feihong hurriedly asked his soldiers to block the crowd, and watched every suspicious movement with a bright eye."
Find someone to talk to, and we adults will talk to you."
Huang Feihong shouted with his eyes exposed, and the crowd fell silent.The team of Confucian scholars avoided one after another, and an old scholar with considerable prestige slowly stepped forward with the support of Confucian scholars."
Hello official, thousands of our Confucian scholars have jointly signed a letter to the president, and please inform the president."
The old pedant coughed dryly and said slowly."
Just tell me anything, the president has sent me to deal with this matter with full authority" Qiao Zhiqing chuckled lightly and let out a little panic."
Official, the old Fan Jin, Xianfeng has been promoted in nine years.You tell the president that the Temple of Confucius can't be smashed.That is the foundation of the world's scholars, if even the Confucian Temple is smashed, then the roots of this country will be broken. ”The old pedant choked up and spit out, his face full of pleading, and he almost knelt down for Qiao Zhiqing."
Yes, sir, Sage Kong can't smash it."
The Confucian scholar behind the old scholar also let out a long cry of pleading faces."
Fan Jin" Qiao Zhiqing muttered in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, this old gentleman can't be the Fan Jin in the history of Confucianism."
Old sir, the president moved Confucius out of the Temple of Literature, and naturally he has his reasons.In this way, tomorrow you can send a few Confucian students out, and we will also gather the opponents of Confucius.In front of the world's scholars, everyone organized a debate in the square to debate whether Confucius should be smashed or not.If you win, I will personally advise the president to invite Confucius back to the Temple of Literature.Do you think this is still fair" Qiao Zhiqing suddenly had an idea, wanting to take this opportunity to have a more powerful academic debate.The fact that the newspapers broadcast and print them live will certainly cause a sensation in the ideological and educational circles, so that the new culture will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
All right, sir.In a word, the old decay will go down and prepare. ”Fan Jin coughed dryly a few times, his face regained some anger, and slowly retreated under the support of Confucianism."
Let's go, let's go back to the house to discuss a countermeasure."
Qiao Zhiqing shook his head at Hui'er, and took her back to the presidential compound.Zeng Jiyun was lying on the desk boredly, looking at the golden bottle plum that was turned out of Qiao Zhiqing's house.From time to time, I was described explicit inside, and my cheeks flushed with shame.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing entered the lobby, Zeng Jiyun hurriedly hid the book behind him and greeted him awkwardly, "Brother Qiao, you are back." ”"What are you looking at, sneaky," Qiao Zhiqing stared at the book in her hand curiously."
Nothing, nothing."
Xiao Nizi hurriedly stepped back, constantly shaking her little head.Qiao Zhiqing looked at her red-faced little appearance, and guessed a rough idea in his heart.glared at her and laughed evilly, and took Hui'er into the study.Zeng Jiyun covered her little face, full of the shyness of her daughter's family.After seeing Qiao Zhiqing enter the door, he hurriedly opened the drawer, hid the book inside, and locked it tightly with a small lock."
Hui'er, sit down and talk, you heard what Fan Jin and I said just now" Qiao Zhiqing sat down at the desk, Zeng Jiyun obediently entered the room and filled a cup of hot tea for each of them, and went out again with a red face and a dull voice."
Brother Qiao, I know it in my heart.Tomorrow I will invite a few teachers from Huaxing Academy, they are known for their eloquence.will definitely refute the feudal dregs of Confucianism without body. ”Hui'er smiled and sat down on the couch, her face finally calming down."
Well, it's up to you.At noon tomorrow, a debate tournament will be officially held in the square, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Confucian students. ”Qiao Zhiqing nodded, discussed some details with Hui'er, and then got up and sent her out the door.The night was sultry, Qiao Zhiqing was finally free, and when he turned around, he stared at Zeng Jiyun and coughed dryly."
Ji Yun, it seems that there is a book on my bookshelf that is gone, did you take it" Qiao Zhiqing smiled evilly, staring at Zeng Jiyun's big eyes."
No, I didn't.If you look for it again, maybe you put it somewhere. ”Zeng Jiyun's little face was already red to the base of her neck, and her black eyes kept rolling around, not daring to look directly into Qiao Zhiqing's eyes."
Oh, forget it.There's a mistake in that book that hasn't had time to be corrected, and I'm about to give it to Hui'er to reprint.That Pan Jinlian didn't die in the end, Wu Song showed mercy under the knife, and finally flew with her. ”Qiao Zhiqing turned his head and sighed sadly."
How can this be Pan Jinlian, but Wu Song's sister-in-law, how can they be together" Zeng Jiyun couldn't help but spit out when she heard it, her face full of incredulity.As soon as the words fell, he saw Qiao Zhiqing's evil smile on his face, and then he suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and he didn't admit himself.I was shy and irritable for a while, and I covered my face and lay down on the table."
Take it out."
Qiao Zhiqing spread out his palms and was amused by Zeng Jiyun's embarrassed little appearance."
Brother Qiao, I was wrong, I saw it accidentally."
Zeng Jiyun didn't dare to look up, eager to find a crack in the ground and slip away.I fumbled with my head and opened the lock.took out the golden plum bottle from the drawer and handed it to Qiao Zhiqing."
At a young age, I don't learn well.There are so many books, just look at this" Qiao Zhiqing took the book and patted it on her head, and didn't want to tease her anymore, threw the book on the table, and commanded, "Come on, I almost forgot, you are a girl who is about to get married."
The book, though a little explicit, is still determined by its literary significance.If there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me, Brother Qiao approved you to read it. ”"Got it."
Zeng Jiyun lay on the table with a red face, and waited for Qiao Zhiqing to enter the room before he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put the book in the drawer.It took a long time to come to my senses, but I still couldn't stop smirking.Early the next morning, Hui'er beckoned the people of the Ministry of Culture to build a ten-meter-wide ring on the square of the presidential palace.In the ring, there was a long slogan with seven characters on it: "New Culture and Old Confucianism".The teachers Hui'er mentioned were all invited to Qiao Zhiqing's study to be summoned.The dress of several people is not very fashionable, it is still an old-fashioned robe and horse coat.Everyone has clean short hair, and it looks like they are full of money."
Meet the President in the Lower Tang Tingshu.""
Meet the President in Xia Xu Run.""
Under Wu Rulun, Zhang Yuzhao, Li Shuchang, and Xue Fucheng, I will meet with the president."
The six of them each reported their names and bowed to Qiao Zhiqing.A few people quickly asked, it turned out to be the two big bosses of Jardine Matheson, as well as the "four disciples of Zengmen" to visit, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly smiled and got up to salute back, the six of them were all famous leaders of the Westernization Movement in history, and Qiao Zhiqing had naturally heard of their names.Just now, Zeng Jiyun called them outside the door, and Qiao Zhiqing had already guessed a rough idea in his heart."
Your Excellency has heard our name," Tang Tingshu asked in surprise, and the other five had the same expression.secretly said in his heart, he said that Qiao Zhiqing has a wide range of knowledge, and he is a genius, and today he is really different."
Of course, I know, several of them are rare sages in the world today.It's just that I've been busy with official business, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet you. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled, beckoned a few people to sit down in the guest seats, and summoned Zeng Jiyun outside the door to fill a cup of tea for each of the six people.The "Four Disciples of Zengmen" all had a great friendship with Zeng Guofan in the past, and they were all commensurate with Zeng Guofan's students, so they naturally knew Zeng Jiyun.The four of them all had embarrassed expressions, thinking that the Zeng family had fallen to this point, and even the eldest lady of the Zeng family had come over to be a maid."
The four of you don't need to be too surprised, Ji Yun is my wife who has not passed through the door, and now she is my secretary.Because there is no maid to serve here, everything is done by Ji Yun. ”Qiao Zhiqing saw their thoughts, and hurriedly explained with a smile."

I've heard for a long time that the president and the teacher's lady are engaged, and I don't want it to be true.It's a pity that the teacher passed away prematurely, otherwise this match made in heaven, the teacher must be very happy. ”Wu Rulun sighed sadly, and the other three brothers also comforted Zeng Jiyun.Zeng Jiyun was like meeting a relative, and she missed her father for a while, and her little face wiped tears with grievances."
Okay, okay, don't talk about the past.I also admired Mr.
Zeng very much, and persuaded him many times to join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty.But it has come to this, and it is all destined by God, and we still need to look forward. ”Qiao Zhiqing was commensurate with Zeng Guofan's disciples, in order to let these four great talents relax.They hid in Huaxing Academy and refused to go out to work for the government, because they were afraid that Qiao Zhiqing would remember the old things and be implicated in this.Tang Tingshu and Xu Run are even more wronged, both of them are major shareholders of Jardine Matheson.On the same day, the concession in Shanghai was recovered, and all the assets of the foreigners were confiscated.The two of them also became nothing, and had to become teachers in Huaxing Academy
