Chapter 618 Mobilize all great scholars to participate in the conference

"Jinling Conference?"

Huang Zongxi looked at the content of the edict on the mansion and was already a little moved.

"Yes! Your Majesty personally presided over, Mr. Lizhou, as everyone we look forward to, you must go. If you can successfully fight the scholars this time and use them for your own use, you may really achieve reforms!"

After Wan Weishu, who had arrived in Yuyao, replied, he immediately persuaded Huang Zongxi.

Historically, Huang Zongxi was one of several radical figures among the scholars and officials in the late Ming Dynasty who proposed the idea of ​​restricting the power of the monarch.

In this life, due to the changes in the times brought about by commercial civilization, he is still the leader in this world in restricting monarchy.

Even because there was no suppression of the Qing Dynasty and the education of Emperor Zhu Youxiao Daxing led to more scholars, there were more people who worship Huang Zongxi, and Huang Zongxi's prestige was even higher in the scholars.

Of course, Huang Zongxi himself was relatively low-key. He just used his banner to study in various powerful families, so that Huang Zongxi is not only in the scholars, but also in the court.

"Yes, you'd better leave as soon as possible. If you don't go, we advocate reforms to seek the people's freedom as a group of dragons without a leader!"

The retired official Sun Jiaji also rushed over at this time and persuaded Huang Zongxi to go to Jinling to attend the Jinling Conference.

"It is rare that Your Majesty is willing to accept the words of the world. Mr. Lizhou, you must not go! Besides, among my scholars in Jiangnan, there are many people like Gu Yanwu who do not support our proposal of reform. Some of them even say that we should be directly cleaned up to prevent the restoration of Donglin! Heaven is pitiful, we are not Donglin, we have not spoken for ourselves, but for the world, but they say that we have ulterior motives. If you don't go, you are afraid that Your Majesty will be more bewitched by them. I really think that we those who advocate reform are really a group of people with ulterior motives!"

Lu Fu, a scholar who founded the Lizhou Fushe with Huang Zongxi in history, also started to speak.

After hearing this, Huang Zongxi said, "Sure enough, Huang read it right. Our Majesty is different from all the emperors in history. From the beginning, he did not only care about the decline of one family and one surname! Instead, he really had the ambitions of the world and took all the people of the Han family to heart!"

"In fact, the government affairs hall he set up, so that the ministers of the government affairs halls, like prime ministers, could make the same court as the king, and could not reply to memorials, so that the power would not be required to come from the hands of the palace slaves. They also believed that officials of all ranks were the emperor's orders, not the king's slaves, but the king's separate body. Therefore, they divided the taxes to the local area, and did not take the economics, but the civil affairs and the expansion of the imperial examinations, and the principle of lenientness and strictness in taking and using them is not a ruler who can't do it!"

Huang Zongxi had a very high evaluation of Zhu Youxiao, and of course it was related to Zhu Youxiao's current permission to speak.

After a high evaluation of Zhu Youxiao, Huang Zongxi said: "But Your Majesty has not ordered the local government to choose governors or even prefectures and counties, and has not even made the family law a law a world law a long time ago, which is indeed an unsatisfactory place."

"This may be related to the stubborn conservatives who advocate the rule of the world to be classified as one person, such as Gu Yanwu, Qu Shisi and others. They pay too much attention to the distribution of economics but ignore the distribution of power. It is not surprising that Your Majesty naturally prefers people like them, which gives Your Majesty the confidence to remain unchanged."

Sun Jiaji, who had worked as an official in the court and had dealt with Gu Yanwu, Qu Shisi and others, said at this time.

Huang Zongxi also nodded and said, "That's right! Taking advantage of the opportunity to make the right move in the imperial preface, Huang has to go to Nandu for the right way in the world!"

...

"Nandu, the Duke must go! Just think that the benefit of the world will not fall into the hands of those with property, and more scholars will awaken!"

Gong Tingxiang, who came to Kunshan, told Gu Yanwu, who was actively building a staff university in Datong Machinery Factory and training employees about the emperor's intention to hold the Jinling Conference.

"I heard that the scholars who advocated reform have already gone to Yuyao, and probably mobilized Huanglizhou to come out of the mountain. They seemed to not want to miss this opportunity to go to heaven and listen."

Xu Feng, who came to Kunshan with Gong Tingxiang, also talked and said, "We can't fall behind. We think it's better for Mr. Tinglin. You are better at going to Yinnan Capital in person. You are more appealing. Mr. Bi is relatively old. Because of our low-class background, some of us were still low-class people before. We have never been looked down upon by many scholars from the gentry in Jiangnan, so we have no appeal."

"These people who advocate reform are naive. This matter cannot be successful if Your Majesty wants. Do you really think that Zhang Jiangling implemented the new policy and the reform of the king of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, could be implemented without the support of the monarch? In the end, it was not because the people in the world had not reached an agreement? Therefore, even if they told Your Majesty, it would be useless. I am afraid that before Your Majesty's will leave the Forbidden City, the guards of the Forbidden City would first clear the side of the emperor!"

Gui Zhuang, who has always been very close to Gu Yanwu, was also a genius in the late Ming Dynasty, and was also curious about the Datong model of Datong Machinery Factory and joined the teacher here as a staff university. He also said at this time.

"That's true, but it's better not to let Your Majesty be fooled by those people, which will lead to a mutiny in the future. Our Majesty, to be honest, may not necessarily be sober. He has no knowledge in gathering power to destroy the Eastern Barbarians and boosting the economy. However, he is indeed too lenient in economic and cultural control, especially in treating the study of Taisie, and he seems to be lacking in confidence, and he takes the initiative to understand what Greek system it is, small countries have few people or suitable for that Greek system, but our big country has hundreds of trillions of people, how can it be like this? If this is the case, it will be chaos!"

Bi Ziyan said a few words based on his years of experience in companionship, and said to Gu Yanwu: "You go to Nandu, don't let the Huanglizhou fool you so much that His Majesty also learn from the Sexsons (British) Magna Carta! Instead of establishing a constitution, it is better to conquer all the global wealth to the Ming Dynasty first. Some of them want to freely exploit their own people now. Isn't this fishing in the end of the lake? Why don't you raise the fish in your own pond and catch the fish in other people's ponds first!"

After hearing this, Gu Yanwu couldn't help laughing and said, "What Mr. Bi said is! Let's go to Nandu and meet that Huanglizhou for a while!"

...

"I am not unconscious. There are more and more scholars who require restricting the power of the monarch and giving the people more freedom. I have to give them some hope to hold them up and not go to extremes. In addition, try to use literary fights to let them know how impossible it is to achieve the situation they want in the Ming Dynasty. It is better than military fights. In short, try to resolve internal conflicts between the Han people in the form of literary fights."
