194. The Republic of China Is Coming Soon

Brother Xun frowned. He didn't know what Bai Gui was selling. He walked closer and took a look at the low wooden table. He laughed instantly and the corners of his sleeves rolled up in his palms expanded. Google search reading

The scowl on his face completely disappeared.

"Brother Meihe, you, you..."

"You are really good at teasing me. It's wrong for me to follow this line..."

He shook his head, took steps, and walked outside the house.

Literary men like them would often drink at banquets, and they would exchange words on a whim during outings. In the couplets, the first line has the three characters "Huo Qubing", and the second line is basically "Xin Qiji" ”

Because Huo Qubing was a famous general in the Han Dynasty, which can be interpreted as "quickly cured". If you want to find an ancient name similar to Huo Qubing, and it must be consistent with Huo Qubing's status as a military general, then the only one is Xin Qiji, "quickly cured".

Both names mean peace and health.

At this moment, Bai Gui wrote the three words "Huo Qubing" and asked Brother Xun to read the second line, which was "Xin Qiji".

And who is Xin Qiji?

Most people in later generations only know that Xin Qiji was both civil and military, the most courageous scholar and the most talented general in the Southern Song Dynasty, but they have no idea about Xin Qiji's life. Xin Qiji's grandfather was a minor official in the Jin Dynasty, but his grandfather Xin Zan had the heart of the Song Dynasty and always hoped that Wang Shi would visit the north and regain his hometown in the north. When Xin Qiji was fourteen years old, he went to Yanshan Zhongdu (Yanjing) ) took the exam, but secretly found out the topographic map of Yanshan, and then formed a rebel army and rose up...

So when he thought of this name, Brother Xun knew what Bai Gui's real thoughts were.

What Bai Gui means is that although I passed the examination of the Qing Dynasty as a scholar and have the idea of ​​joining the imperial court, Xin Jiaxuan and I have the same purpose and are not loyal to the Jin Dynasty imperial court.

In the past, Xin Jiaxuan was for the orthodoxy of the Southern Song Dynasty, while I was for the concept of "everyone can be like Yao and Shun"...

Everyone can be like Yao and Shun. Mencius is saying that everyone can be a wise man like Yao and Shun. However, Bai Gui "misinterpreted its meaning", meaning that everyone has the possibility to become a holy king like Yao and Shun, so why is this correct?

The royal cabinet is in an uproar, everyone is looking at each other, and using the past as a metaphor for the present. If the people of Haojing can expel King Zhou Li and usher in the Republic of China and the establishment of justice, then this moment is exactly like that moment...

"Historical Records of the Zhou Dynasty": "The two prime ministers of Zhao Gong and Zhou Gong were called Gong丨He."

…

Time passes in a hurry, like a fleeting moment.

Two spring and autumn years passed in the blink of an eye, and we came to the second year of the Republic of China and the second year of Taisho.

Bai Gui has the habit of keeping a diary.

Although every time I finish writing a diary, I secretly burn it.

To remain innocent in this world.

"I went to the library to read the newspaper in the rain today. My manuscript hasn't been published yet. Damn it, Natsume Soseki has occupied more front pages than me... March 15th."

"I started writing the thesis, and it was really indisputable. I wrote it all night again, and I finished half of it...March 17."

"Bai Mei and you should cheer up. We won't have sex with Xunzi tonight. We will write the paper and try to finish it in one day...March 18th."

"Trying some new positions tonight..."

"Same room..."

"Same room..."

"Bai Meihe, Bai Meihe! How can you be so depraved! Have you forgotten the study plan you made earlier? Confucius said: I will examine myself three times every day. I can't go on like this..."

"Same room..."

"Same room..."

"I finally finished copying my thesis. I copied it here and there, and I copied it seven times. This is considered my graduation thesis. Although I deserve my thesis, I really graduated. April 21, 1913."

Tokyo University, Hongo Campus.

"Thank you, Mr. Shiraishi, for your care over the years..."

Shiroki and Yamada Mitsuko graduated at the same time and bowed to Professor Shiraishi.

"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Bai. Your "Chrysanthemum and the Sword" really puts me, a professor of Japanese history, to shame. This must be another famous masterpiece. You haven't published many new works in the past few years, and many people in the cultural circle have , they all say that you have exhausted your talents, and now it seems that they may be disappointed..."

Professor Shiraishi smiled.

This time, Bai Gui, as an outstanding graduate of Dongda University, used "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" as his excellent graduation thesis, which made him a professor a lot of face. Many professors in the Ministry of Education have been discussing this masterpiece recently...

In addition, by recruiting Bai Gui as his student, he has achieved certain teaching achievements and scientific research results every year, and his status in the Ministry of Education has also increased. He is now considered a top professor in the Ministry of Education, and students come to his disciples in an endless stream every year.

"The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is not only my effort, but also the research result of the professor and Photon."

Bai Gui said humbly.

As a foreigner, he wrote "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", which deeply depicts the spiritual core of Japan, which will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Japanese people, and Mitsuko Yamada and Professor Shiraishi are good cover. And in fact, it is. Although it is said that he was the main author of The Chrysanthemum and the Knife, there was also help from two people during the process.

"The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is the graduation thesis completed by Bai Gui and Yamada Mitsuko together.

Generally speaking, universities do not allow two people to complete a thesis together as a graduation thesis.

But... the Chrysanthemum and the Sword is divided into several parts. It is completely feasible for Hakugui to complete one part, and for Yamada Mitsuko to complete another part, and finally put them together.

It involves some sensitive topics, and Bai Gui was ghostwritten by Mitsuko Yamada...

The rules say that the two of them completed the work together, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that some of the passages written by Yamada Mitsuko must have been helped by Bai Gui. It's just that it complies with the rules, and the many professors who reviewed the work in the Ministry of Literature will not say anything...

Professor Shiraishi nodded and asked, "Bai Jun has completed his undergraduate studies, and is going to continue his postgraduate and doctoral studies at the University of Tokyo, or apply to a prestigious European university? Many prestigious universities have already sent invitations to you, Bai Jun..."

"For example, the literature departments of Cambridge University and Oxford University in England, the literature department of the University of Paris, the University of Munich in Germany, and the University of Leuven in Belgium all have invitations..."

"I have decided on this matter. After being away from home for several years, it is time for me to return to my country."

"I will decide on this matter after I come back."

Bai Gui hesitated for a while and said.

He is not only famous in Japan now, but with the spread of the masterpiece Guns and Cannons, many people in Europe have also noticed this masterpiece, so before he graduated, many prestigious universities have sent invitations to him to study at their schools.

But Bai Gui has not yet decided which prestigious university to go to...

In addition, graduate and doctoral degrees do not require a certain period of study like undergraduate degrees. You only need to write graduate and doctoral dissertations that meet the requirements to apply for graduation in advance.

"Bai Jun is right. You have been away from home for so many years. It's time to go back and take a look."

"There is also a Chinese poem that says: Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family more during every festive occasion."

Professor Shiraishi understands this feeling very well and empathizes with it.

He has also studied abroad. Those who have not studied abroad are not qualified to be professors at the University of Tokyo. After studying abroad for several years, it is inevitable to miss home.

"Bai Jun, you... are going home?"

Yamada Mitsuko suddenly felt some worries in her heart, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Bai Gui's clothes and asked.

"Yes, it's time to go home."

"Didn't you also receive invitations from some prestigious schools? There will be opportunities to study together then..."

Bai Gui replied.

"Then I'll wait for you in Kyoto. Remember to come and see me..."
