211 Detonation Countdown
Just when Prince Gong's Mansion was in chaos, in the study room of Weng Tong and Weng's family in Dongcheng, this Qingliu noble sat alone on the chair of the Grand Master. The desk in front of him was piled with rice paper, and the words were densely written on it.
One word of Weng's calligraphy can be sold for a pen fee of 100 taels in the capital, which is definitely a living person's money printing machine. This bunch of messy words will be sold at least tens of thousands of taels. However, these words are destined to not be spread, and some of them have been burned in the charcoal basin, and the others will eventually be unable to escape this fate.
"Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao... and killed Shao Zhengmao... and did the saints also have selfish intentions when they ordered people to kill? Have he hesitated and had conflicts... The disputes between knowledge have always been bloody since ancient times!"
The Shaozhengmao that Weng Tonghe mentioned was a pioneer of the Legalist country in Lu that year. Confucius had only been acting as prime minister for seven days, and he was killed on the grounds of the evil nature of the Five Middle Schools. The biggest sin was to gather people to promote evil sayings.
Gathering crowds? Wicked theories? These reasons have been very confused by the later historical circles in the thousands of years of history in China. This case was the most controversial in Confucius' life.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was an era of various ideological explosions, and there was no academic unity of the ideological world. At that time, there was no Confucian saying, and Confucius was just one of the many thought disseminators.
May Confucius gather his disciples to teach you your thoughts, so don’t let others spread it? What’s more, even Confucius’ disciple Yan Hui likes to listen to the lessons of Shao Zhengmao, and he listened to them several times. It is said that the most wise man of Confucius’ disciples is Yan Hui. The knowledge he praised should not be considered evil, right?
But Confucius still took action, and the motivation here is self-evident. As expected, since ancient times, the disputes between academic thoughts have to bleed. The difficulties faced by Weng Tonghe today are probably more severe than those brought by Shao Zhengmao.
"Xiao Letian, you are so amazing. You are really a talent that is rare in a thousand years. You can not only write books, but also accumulate countless money in an instant. Now you have a tiger man who is one or ten. You have forced me to a dead end. You have already leveraged the foundation of your outstanding academic knowledge..."
"I'm sorry, I have no choice. Whether you are guilty or not, as long as you still spread Western learning, I will deal with you, you must die..."
Weng Tonghe muttered to himself in the study like a madman, and even covered his face and cried when he was excited.
"Don't blame me, I have no choice... Do you think I don't believe everything written in your book? I believe it, I believe it all, why don't I believe what foreigners have confirmed? But I can only secretly write it, and I absolutely cannot express it. If even I bow my head, then will there be a future for schooling?"
"What a vicious era! What a terrible world! Why do you want to break our spiritual home, why do you want to destroy our ideal country of literati... Without the enlightenment of the teachings, how can you let the scholars in the world live?"
"Emperor, Empress Dowager, be sober, don't be greedy for such a little bit of small profits. If the hearts of the scholars in the world are hurt, who will still support your country in the future? Aren't you giving talents to the Zeng brothers for nothing and those ambitious people for nothing? Is it so confused..."
Xiao Letian never expected that he was equated with the controversial Shao Zhengmao in history. His reputation increased quickly. No matter how controversial the historical community is about this matter, Xiao Letian is already proud enough to force the leader of the Qingliu to this extent.
Weng Tong and the study were like a trapped beast, and the rice paper was full of "Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao" and threw it everywhere, and several sheets were even ignited by charcoal basins.
"Oh, Master! It's on fire, it's on fire..." The housekeeper happened to run over and rushed over to slap the flames so that he didn't cause any major disaster.
"Master, just sent the news, the fight has started in front of Prince Gong's Mansion, four or five hundred people have been formed in a group. Now the soldiers of the Nine Gate Admiral and the servants of Shuntian Mansion have separated the people..."
"Now all the scholars in Sijiu City have begun to gather in Prince Gong's Mansion, and even the scholars in the countryside outside the city have arrived. I guess there will be thousands of scholars in the royal palace in a while..."
"I'm really scared. Is this really good to keep going like this? Will it be a big deal for you? Master? I heard from the people that I was so beaten up, my head was broken, my bones and my tendons were broken..."
The housekeeper was still chattering, and Weng Tonghe suddenly became furious. He overturned the desk, "It's all messy, you're afraid of chaos now? The real chaos is still behind. Once all Western theories and ideas pour in, then the heads of thousands of miles of China will definitely be killed... "
"What is the Changmao Rebellion? At that time, there will be battlefields everywhere, every family will be warned, father and son will be killed, brothers will be killed, and after the collapse of ethics, the sky will collapse and the earth will fall..."
"Don't ramble anymore, let these scholars make a fuss. If I don't fight now, I'm afraid I will never be able to fight again!"
The housekeeper was scolded and was so bloody that he was frightened by the horror scene depicted by the master. In the end, he did not dare to neglect and ran out to pass the order.
At this point, the situation was no longer controlled. Weng Tonghe personally pulled out the last insurance of the nuclear warhead, and the nuclear weapons that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty finally began to count down.
The information about the attack on Prince Gong's mansion was also sent to the Forbidden City. The two empress dowagers were so angry that they were wandering around the room. "This group of sour scholars are so arrogant. The court is unwilling to cause trouble. They have already comforted and forgiven them. Why do you still have to make trouble? Even if you don't like Western learning, the court doesn't like it either, but you have to give the court a time..."
"I just knew that the urge to urge them. The dynasty is too tolerant of them now. If he dared to force the palace when he founded the country, he would have sent troops long ago..."
Ci'an could still hold her airs back. She comforted her softly and said, "Sit down and rest, An Dehai, exchange your master for the cup of Longjing Qingqing's anger... I have seen through these literati, they are just scared."
"In the past, these people didn't take Xiao Letian to heart, and they were all secret tricks behind their backs. They never expected that Xiao Letian would overcome all the difficulties. Now Qingliu was afraid, and they knew that they could no longer suppress Xiao Letian. So they had to go into battle in person. These scholars were trying their best. They were afraid that the court would abandon the preaching school!"
"What should I do according to my sister's wishes?"
Ci'an smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed, "Hey... you just said that it is not the time for the founding of the country. You should be polite to these scholars. You can't suppress them, you still have to persuade them with kind words. Anyway, these scholars are only warm for a while, and when they get tired, they will naturally scatter..."
At the most critical moment, the Forbidden City also chose to deal with it coldly. This was the last opportunity to control the situation, and the Qing royal family did not seize this opportunity.
When Xiao Letian's nuclear weapons were officially detonated, Qingliu and the Qing royal family had regretted it more than once. If they had known that Xiao Letian had such a trick, they would not have made things so big, and no one would dare to force Xiao Letian into the corner.
Muge did not receive the order to expel it in the end. The upskirt means to isolate the crowd and let them retreat on their own as long as they stop fighting. Muge, who sighed, rode a war horse to maintain morale in the military formation. This cold weather did not stop, and the brothers were already angry.
But this group of scholars also came to evil spirits today. They all had their noses and swollen faces and had not yet retreated, and they were actually overwhelmed by the soldiers. Not only that, as time went by, more and more scholars came to support them. Seeing the pioneers being beaten so badly, they all became anxious.
"It is a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace! How can we scholars be insulted like this? How can the state treat our scholars like this? What did we do wrong? Exorcist Western learning and the wrong theory and protect Xianxue? How can this be a sin? Give me an explanation..."
"Explanation, give scholars all over the world an explanation..." More and more scholars were crowded in front of the military formation, and roared angryly with shields, almost shocking Mu Ge's war horse like a storm.
"Explanation? What kind of explanation should I ask for? The order given to me by the court is to stop you from fighting, and I can't give you any explanation. But I still want to advise you to calm down and just be noisy. It's almost noon, go back to the bar..."
Muge's indifferent look made the scholars completely furious. They gathered more and more, and their shouts became louder and louder. In the end, thousands of scholars gathered together. The angry slogans shocked the sky of the entire capital.
"Expel the evil sayings of Western learning, kill Xiao Letian, and give us justice..."
"Expel Western scholars and kill Xiao Letian..."
"Kill Western Learners, kill Xiao Letian..."
The more people shouted the slogan, the more they would spontaneously become shorter. At the end, they would say "Kill Western Learning and Kill Xiao Letian." On the streets of the royal palace, everyone was shouting for killing. The momentum that came to his face was so scared that Prince Gong, who was peeping behind the door, almost fell down.
"Class, the same year... the court does not allow us to fight, so we will use our throats to wake up the lords and the fools in the world. Today, let the Qing Dynasty hear our voices..."
Hundreds of scholars chose to march and demonstrate. They walked on the streets and shouted out their demands in the unbelievable eyes of the people in the capital.
"Kill Western Learners, kill Xiao Letian..."
Soon the team began to change, with a long dragon turning into two, then four, and eight rushing towards the streets of the capital. But what is strange is that no matter how many long dragon turning into, the number of people in each one is not too small.
There were countless people in the capital and the crowd watching the fun, and some even joined in and shouted a few times. In the high-pressure society in the late Qing Dynasty, it was really attractive to be able to act wildly unscrupulously.
The capital city finally caused a sensation. Hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital heard the voices of scholars. These people who worship knowledge almost subconsciously chose to believe in scholars. Not only because of habits, but also because at this moment, the voices of scholars are the biggest.
Scholars say that Western learning is bad, that is bad! Anyway, foreigners with big noses burned the Three Mountains and Five Gardens, and scholars who are really bad enough say that Xiao Letian should be killed, so let him kill him! Don’t they say that he wants to rebel? The scholars and juren all say that he should be killed, so that should not be wronged.
The roar was like thunder, not only hitting the sky in the capital, but also hitting people's hearts. Xiao Letian became the target of public criticism for a moment.
