Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Under Zhao Kuangyin's strong suppression, many Confucian scholars had already retreated.

But there were also some people who got really angry.

We must maintain the status of these literati.

The emperor and the scholars and officials share the world. How many scholars, after generations of efforts, have finally achieved this?

Even during the Han Dynasty, all other schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was the only one respected.

That is far from the level where the emperor and the literati share the world.

Not to mention the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although literati can do it, they are not that good.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that the status of these literati was completely established.

They know very well how unjust these things are!

I also know how refreshing it is to have these.

As a result, when Zhao Kuangyin came here, he destroyed all of their things without saying a word.

Deprived of it!

They absolutely cannot tolerate this!

You must fight hard!
It is necessary to stop Zhao Kuangyin at this time.

Let him know that they are not made of clay!

At this time, we must not retreat!

If you take a step back, you will be doomed!

Taking a step back, it would be extremely difficult to restore the system where the emperor and the scholars shared the world, which was created with great effort by many ancient sages.

So among these people, in addition to some who wanted to rebel, there were also some who were preparing to secretly contact the Jin people.

There are also some people who will use their trump cards.

To stop Zhao Kuangyin's evil deeds in an upright manner.

This killer weapon is the Yansheng Duke of the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong.

They united and asked Duke Yansheng to come forward.

Take the lead in opposing this matter.

In their eyes, Duke Yansheng was a descendant of the most holy King Wenxuan.

Significance!

As long as he is willing to take the lead, even that bastard Zhao Kuangyin would not dare to act on his own.

We can only compromise on this matter.

This is the descendant of the Most Holy King Wenxuan!
But Duke Yansheng!
"…Duke Yansheng, you must take action.

This time, they are going to crush us intellectuals into the dust.

We can't give in even a step!
If you give in one step, there will be more steps to come!

Once you give in, you will die!

The millennium-long cultural heritage is destroyed in an instant!"

"Yes! This bastard Zhao Kuangyin is doing evil and reckless things.

Such disrespect to us writers.

Duke Yansheng, you are a role model for scholars all over the world. At this critical moment, you must not stand idly by.

I also ask you, Lord Yansheng, to step forward and call on all the scholars and princes in the world to have a fair fight with that man!
This extremely rebellious idea of ​​his must be suppressed.

You and the scholars and officials share the world and this cannot be abolished!
The doctor cannot be dismissed unless he is punished!

Everything else is inferior, only reading is superior and must not be wasted!

We must not allow military men to suppress us, the scholars.

Otherwise, there will be big problems in the future!"

These people looked at the contemporary Duke Yansheng, Kong Ruiyou, and said.

The sound seemed intense.

The third generation Duke Yansheng, Kong Ruiyou, sat here without saying a word.

However, anyone can tell that he would not be very calm at this moment.

At this moment, there must be an extremely intense struggle in my heart.

After doing this for a while, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down as a gesture of silence.

It seems that Duke Yansheng, who had not expressed anything so far, finally made some move.

Everyone shut up.

Everyone looked at him, waiting to see what he would say next or what good ideas he would give.

Will he take them with him to charge against the emperor as they said?

They believed that as long as Duke Yansheng took the lead.

Then, all the literati and scholars would be able to gather together and point their spears at Zhao Kuangyin.

Have a good fight with that bastard Zhao Kuangyin.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin was cruel, he had to behave himself.

I dare not act recklessly on this matter again.

At this time, in their view, the literati from various places had been divided into several groups.

Some people are simply confused.

Some of them were so weak that they just knelt down.

Others just shrank their heads and pretended to know nothing.

Some people are cursing secretly and watching...

There is also a group of people who, like them now, urgently need the Kong family to step in.

At this time, he severely blocked the emperor.

Let that bastard Zhao Kuangyin give up his unreliable ideas.

Only in this way will they have a real chance of winning next time.

They also believed that Duke Yansheng would make an appropriate choice.

After all, what they planned was also extremely good for Duke Yansheng and others.

Only when Confucianism becomes noble and its status is consolidated, will the status of Duke Yansheng become more prominent.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking.

What Emperor Taizu has done now can indeed be called cruel..."

After Kong Ruiyou said this, many people immediately felt like crying.

How can he be called cruel? He is simply a butcher!

He didn't take these distinguished scholars and literati seriously at all.

Kill without any reason.

"Many scholars like me have also been criticized and suffered a lot of disasters in such things..."

The voice of Duke Yansheng continued to sound, and many people who heard it nodded frequently.

They just felt that Duke Yansheng had spoken to the heart of their hearts.

They also felt that the next Duke Yansheng would definitely lead them to fight against the foolish, cruel and brutal Zhao Kuangyin.

“However, there is a saying that severe punishments should be used in troubled times.

Today, our Song Dynasty is clearly in a critical moment of survival.

The Jin people frequently went south and invaded our Chinese land.

The capital was besieged twice!

Countless people were massacred!

The outer city of Bianliang was breached and was in imminent danger!

Any mistake will lead to the destruction of the country and the family!
Under such circumstances, Emperor Taizu appeared suddenly with a vision and a large army.

Strike the gold thieves with the force of thunder.

Build Jingguan.

The Tartars were killed so badly that they were pissing and shitting!
Never dare to wreak havoc on the land of China again!

Emperor Taizu and his comrades rode their horses and whipped their horses, ready to attack Huanglongfu directly and completely destroy the Jin people!

This is an exciting move.

It’s really exciting just to think about it!
I wish I could join the army!
Ladies and gentlemen, only when there is a country can there be a home!

The country is in front of the house!

I know what you are thinking.

But what I want to say is that what you are thinking needs to be put aside for a while.

Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, dealing with the Jin people is the top priority.

Haven't you heard that brothers quarrel with each other and defend against external humiliation?

Fortunately, Emperor Taizu appeared and, together with the emperors of later generations, came to the rescue.

Although we suffered some losses as a result.

But for now, everything must be based on the overall situation of resisting the Jin!

If we do such unjust things at this time, won't we be ridiculed by future generations and insulted by the world?

Being blamed by the most holy King Wenxuan?
Don’t mention this matter again!

After you all go back, you must stick to your original intentions and let go of any prejudices in your mind.

You must try your best to display your talents and abilities to help our Song Dynasty.

Do as much as possible to contribute to the stability of the Song Dynasty and the elimination of the Jin people!
Is this what we should do now?
You all don't want to see the Jin people marching south, leaving people destitute and livelihoods in decline, right?

You don't want to see China being wantonly slaughtered by foreign races and treated like sheep again since the Five Barbarians Rebellion?
To be honest, it is better to be a dog in prosperous times than a man in troubled times. If the world is really in chaos.

The Jin people really went south.

Could it be that everyone present here can still maintain their current status and enjoy wealth and glory?

Even more, how many of you present here can survive?
You all read the books of sages and are disciples of the Most Holy King Wenxuan.

As a Chinese.

Do we really have to kneel before the Jin people and submit to them in the future?

Can't you just sing praises to the barbarians?!"

Duke Yansheng Kong Ruiyou spoke these words with great passion.

Later on, Confucius was even brought up.

Said such a rhetorical question.

This sudden change caused many people to change their expressions.
I was shocked by what Kong Ruiyou said.

Before this, they had made many plans.

He felt that it was worth helping in times of crisis. As long as they made similar requests, Duke Yansheng would definitely agree to all of these things at the first opportunity.

Then he led them and used all means to attack the emperor without hesitation.

But who would have thought that, in their view, this was a perfect match and a win-win for both sides.

Who would have thought that what I would hear at this moment would be words like this?

It is so disappointing and shocking!
How could Duke Yansheng do this?

How could this be?

Isn't this what a gentleman does? !

He only has the title of Yansheng Duke!

How could Kong Ruiyou have the nerve to say such things?
Are the bones of Duke Yansheng so soft?

These people were still fighting for Confucianism, but he, the descendant of the most holy King Wenxuan, just knelt down first?
For a moment, I suffered a huge blow!

Many people felt that we were about to fight to the death, so why did Your Majesty surrender first?

"Your words are inappropriate!

This person is not Emperor Taizu at all.

The son is silent and confused, and blames the gods.

How could someone who had been dead for more than a hundred years appear with so many soldiers and horses to fight?"

"Duke Yansheng, this is unbelievable!
That person said he was Emperor Taizu. So he was the spirit of Emperor Taizu?

I've never heard of such a thing!
Designation is false?
The words of the saints must not be forgotten!
How can we, the followers of Confucianism, believe in such nonsense and supernatural things?"

Soon, someone spoke with grief and indignation.

Someone followed immediately.

This is to fundamentally deny Zhao Kuangyin!

Duke Yansheng Kong Ruiyou, who had seemed relatively calm when he spoke before, now had a look of majesty on his face.

He shouted directly, "Who said it wasn't the Emperor Taizu's spirit appearing?
I think it was the spirit of Emperor Taizu appearing!
Apart from the spiritual appearance of Emperor Taizu, who else could have defeated the Jin army and forced it to flee in such a short time?
To avenge the people of the Song Dynasty and protect the Song Dynasty?

Who could organize so many elite troops in such a short time to attack Huanglong Mansion? !

If it weren't for the appearance of Emperor Taizu, how could the Jin people, who had previously oppressed our Song Dynasty to the point of suffocation, be beaten like a stray dog ​​now?

This man has such great talent and such martial arts skills.

He also had help from later emperors.

Who else but Emperor Taizu could protect the Great Song Dynasty with all his strength?
As for you, you won’t just remember that sentence of silence and strange power.

Is it possible that you did not listen to even a single word of the Great Sage King Wenxuan's teachings on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?
At this time, you are using these to teach me a lesson?

Could it be that you all read the books of sages in skips?

Or when reading the books of saints, do you only read those that are beneficial to you?

This time, it was Emperor Taizu who appeared!

Everyone, please go away and let this matter go. Don't say anything more here!
Don’t mention it again in the future!
After returning, everyone must work hard to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty!
Even if you don't put in any effort, at least don't cause trouble.

Otherwise, if I know who dares to do something wrong in this matter, then he is not a Confucian disciple! "

Kong Ruiyou's words are particularly meaningful!

A complete change from his previous elegant and easy-going appearance.

After saying this, he ignored the many people present who were either looking at each other in bewilderment, or who were hesitant to speak, or who were emotionally excited...

Just wave your hand and ask someone to see the guest off.

Never see each other again.

These people were full of confidence when they came.

I think this is their biggest killer.

Who could have imagined that when they left, everyone would have mixed feelings, like eggplants hit by frost.

All wilted.

They really didn't think that the trump card they thought was hit was not aimed at Zhao Kuangyin, but at themselves first!

As Duke Yansheng, it would be fine if he didn't just lead them to fight against the man who pretended to be Emperor Taizu and did all kinds of evil things.

He actually gave them a severe beating first!
Many people couldn't help but sigh.

There were also people who secretly expressed dissatisfaction with Duke Yansheng's behavior.

Some people even cursed directly.

But there is no doubt that Kong Ruiyou has made this statement.

The people who had gathered here soon dispersed in groups of three or five.

No longer gathered together...

There is still a big gap between Kong Ruiyou and those spineless Yanshenggongs who came after him.

According to the original history, after the Jingkang Incident occurred and Zhao Gou and his men went south, Kong Ruiyou, the Duke of Yansheng, also took away several treasures of the Kong family and some important members of the Kong family.

Came to the south.

It was also from then on that the distinction between South Kong and North Kong appeared.

He accepted the Jin people's enthronement, surrendered to the Mongols when they came, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty when they came. He knelt more smoothly than anyone else. This was done by the Yansheng Duke of Beikong.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he can make such a choice...

……

"Uncle, isn't it a little... a little inappropriate to do this?"

Wait until the crowd disperses

Kong Ruiyou's nephew Kong Fan looked at Kong Ruiyou and asked.

There was some worry in his voice.

"If you do this...wouldn't it make the scholars of the world feel disappointed?"

Kong Ruiyou's expression suddenly turned cold.

"What do you mean by disappointing the scholars of the world? If I don't do this, I will really disappoint the scholars of the world!
Let our ancestors be ashamed!
These people cannot represent the scholars of the world, nor can they represent all the scholars!
They are acting out of their own selfish interests and have no regard for the country at all.

They want to use my Kong family as a shield to block the bullets.
These rats, in such a critical situation of life and death, are still only thinking about their own little piece of land.

People like this should be driven away!
If I really did something as despicable as this, I wouldn't be able to sleep well!
You should go to the ancestral temple and guard it for a year!

I have to copy the Confucian classics every day!"

Kong Ruiyou's words made Kong Fan dare not argue any more.

He glanced at his father.

Seeing that his father ignored him.

He could only obey the order and walked away dejectedly like a defeated rooster...

……

By then, Kong Ruiyou was the only one left in the room.

He couldn't help but sigh.

These people really don't understand the situation!

Not only people outside couldn't understand it, but many people in the Kong family also couldn't understand it.

What is the foundation of your Kong family?
Why was the Kong family able to prosper?
It relies on abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone.

But why was Confucianism able to eliminate all other schools of thought and only respect Confucianism?

It was because Mr. Dong at that time took the initiative to bring Confucianism closer to imperial power, closer to the emperor's demands, and stood with the emperor.

Only now has the status been achieved.

How come at this point, these people can't even tell what is important.

Have you even forgotten this?
Don’t worry about whether the person in front of you is the spirit of Emperor Taizu.

Just based on the many things he has done.

He holds the power of life and death and can kill people without mercy. He must be Emperor Taizu!

With this in mind, he quickly wrote a memorial, took it in person, and headed to Bianliang to meet Zhao Kuangyin...

……

On Zhao Kuangyin's side, he was already waiting for those unwilling Confucian scholars to take action.

Moreover, there were reminders from Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang.

He also knew that these people would most likely go to Duke Yansheng next.

Mainly descendants of Kong family.

To attack him.
But...what's the harm? ! (End of this chapter)
