Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, and many other places with the capital as the center.

There has been a lot of public outcry lately.

However, in Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin remained calm.

He is still doing his own thing here.

Not affected by these at all.

It was as if all these things had nothing to do with him and were not caused by the new knowledge he had learned.

Like an outsider.

The reason for this is that Mei Yin knows that no matter how much these people are making a fuss at this time, it has nothing to do with the overall situation and is not a big deal.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is around, these people can't make trouble.

All the fuss was in vain.

In the end, the winner could only be Zhu Yuanzhang, because of his new learning!

What do these people think of Lao Zhu?

Do you really think that Old Zhu is weak and easy to bully, and that Old Zhu's knife is not sharp?
Those who dare to gather together at this time and do such a thing are really risking their lives.

The bigger the commotion at this time, the better it is to involve more people.

Lao Zhu has never been afraid of having too many people. On the contrary, he thinks having more people means less trouble and can solve problems cleanly and efficiently.

At this time, the stronger these people's counterattack is, the more trouble Lao Zhu will save when he deals with them later.

Can deal with many people at once.

After this incident, it will definitely be a good lesson for those Confucians who cannot see the situation clearly, who follow the old ways, who stick to the conventions, or who are either stupid or bad.

To make them all behave themselves can also allow the world to take a good look at the situation and take the opportunity to promote the new learning.

Let more people embrace new learning.

Mei Yin didn't think much about how Lao Zhu would treat these people next.

They won't end up well anyway.

Mei Yin has unconditional faith in Lao Zhu's ability in this area.

Of course, in addition to these, there is another important reason, which is that these people have always been self-righteous and need Lao Zhu to give them a good beating to wake them up.

Under such circumstances, how could Mei Yin invest too much of his precious time and energy on these people?
Is he too concerned about something he already knew the outcome of?
These people are becoming more and more violent, but until now, the emperor has not imposed any restrictions, so Mei Yin has become more and more certain of his guess.

Old Zhu is definitely holding back something big.

He was prepared to let more people show their heads voluntarily, and then he would wipe them out one by one.

It was definitely not like what many self-righteous people thought, that the noise they made was so loud that it scared the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

They felt that as scholars they had a noble status and position, and if so many of them united, even the emperor would not dare to do anything to them.

It's time to clean up these people!

It’s time to teach them a lesson!

During the Yuan Dynasty, they were oppressed so badly by foreign monks, but none of these people were ambitious enough to stand up and fight back desperately, saying this and that.

Why is it that now that Zhu Yuanzhang has become the emperor, they immediately jump out and start risking their lives for Confucianism?

Start thinking like this and do this?

Isn't this pure bullying of honest people?

But unfortunately, Lao Zhu is not an honest man and he will not allow them to bully him!
These people are just looking for death!
Then, there will definitely be no good results!

Just wait and watch Lao Zhu’s performance!
……

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the plans of Liu Sanwu and his men and understood what they were going to do.

Not only was he not angry about this, but he was delighted instead.

Moreover, there was no intention to stop them at all, just waiting for these people to do their things.

These guys really thought that they could invite Duke Yansheng, the people of the Kong family, the Meng family, and the descendants of the Yan family to come here and gather people from all over the world to study.

If they bring the statues of Confucius and Mencius out of the temple and bring them before me, would that force me to make concessions and bow my head?

You're really overthinking it!

In this world, no one who can threaten Zhu Yuanzhang has been born yet!
Of course, girls don’t count. Girls are our own people, different from those people.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay any attention to it, but just waited for the situation to change and waited for these people to continue making trouble.

This will teach them a very profound lesson.

……

“You must remember this!
We, the Kong family, will not get involved in this matter.

No one from the Kong family should get involved.

Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be expelled from my Kong family!"

In Qufu, Shandong, the contemporary Duke Yansheng gave such an order with a serious expression.

After these words were spoken, some of the more radical people in the Kong family, as well as those who came to see Duke Yansheng and were prepared to have a good talk with him and ask him to gather scholars from all over the world to do this together, were all shocked.

To be honest, what Yan Shenggong said and his attitude towards this matter were completely beyond their expectations.

According to what they thought, under such circumstances, the safety of Confucianism was at stake. Once they came here, they would just need to tell everyone about the matter and they would know how the emperor had acted so perversely.

And what are the many benevolent and ambitious people in the world planning to do to safeguard Confucian orthodoxy?

Then, Duke Ken Yansheng will definitely not have any hesitation and will stand up at the first opportunity.

Do what they want and take up the banner.

As the descendant of the most holy teacher, I call on people all over the world to do things.

I don’t know how big an impact this incident will have.

Moreover, what they did was definitely beneficial to Duke Yansheng.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

As Confucianism flourishes, the status of the Kong family will also increase accordingly.

Who would have thought that, in their opinion, this was simply a matter of course, and they would meet Duke Yansheng at this time.

Such a big accident actually happened.

They were confused, they were really confused!

This situation is worse than the worst case scenario they had imagined!
"Duke Yansheng, you...you can't do this!
This concerns the rise and fall of Confucianism. If you don't stand up, it will disappoint scholars all over the world.

It will also greatly affect the orthodoxy of the Great Saint and Master!"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Duke Yansheng and said such words, appearing very anxious.

"Nonsense! What Mr. Jing Lian said is right!

This new learning is not heresy, but the best knowledge.

It is not intended to replace my Confucianism, but to complement my Confucianism.

As Confucianism has developed to this day, many things are no longer suitable and need to be corrected.

Best timing!

As the descendants of the great sage, we should be more aware of the crisis here, take up the banner, and take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility!
I have made up my mind, and no one can change it!

You go first and tell Liu Sanwu and the others what I mean, so that they can stop before it is too late and turn back.

Don't do such a perverse thing there!

Furthermore, you are not allowed to do things under the slogan of the Great Sage and Teacher.

I won’t allow it!”

Duke Yansheng looked at the people coming and said this, and directly issued an order to expel them.

This person's head was dizzy and he was completely confused. He wanted to say something else, but he was already driven out by the Kong family.

In the end, all you can do is feel confused, unable to accept, and extremely angry.

He hurriedly rushed from Qufu to the capital.

We must tell Liu Sanwu and others this shocking bad news.

Let them prepare early.

Duke Yansheng also packed up immediately and prepared to leave for the capital.

This time, the matter is really too big!
The Kong family suffered an unexpected disaster. They did nothing, but were put on the fire by these people.

In this situation, he absolutely cannot remain silent.

We must rush to the capital as soon as possible.

We must explain the situation to the emperor and get them out.

The Kong family must not be affected by this matter.

"Father, why are you doing this?
This... Aren’t the things Liu Sanwu and the others did very good for our Kong family?
He is absolutely right. Only when Confucianism becomes strong, will the status of our Kong family be higher.

The better for us.”

When everyone dispersed, the son of the current Yansheng Duke came over and looked at Yansheng Duke and asked.

I am full of confusion.

This was not only a doubt in his mind, but also a doubt in the hearts of many people in the Confucius Mansion.

Many of them did not understand why Duke Yansheng would make such a choice at such a moment, risking the world's condemnation.

Isn't his father's behavior digging into the Kong family's own territory?

Duke Yansheng sighed and said, "You don't see the situation clearly, and you are all confused by the petty gains in front of you.

You don't really see what the situation is.

Is it that I don't want to? Or that I can't?

What kind of person do you think the current emperor is?
Do you really think that you can make His Majesty bow his head through these means?

Can the current emperor admit his mistakes?

impossible!

The current emperor is a rare hero with an extremely firm mind.

For many things, once he makes up his mind, there is no possibility of changing it.

Moreover, the stronger the enemy he encounters, the stronger his resistance will be.

There is no way that Liu Sanwu and his people can win. Even if we, the Kong family, are included, there is no possibility of victory.

The emperor will not lose, only we will lose.

Given the status of our Kong family, Confucianism had a certain influence even because of the promotion of new learning.

Our Kong family does have some influence, but how big is it?

Moreover, the Kong family is not just us, there is another branch in the south.

He is still the real descendant of Duke Yansheng.

Tell me, what will happen next if the emperor uses some means?

What if we let Nan Kong replace us?

Some people in Nankong are not honest and have been seeking the position of Yansheng Duke.

Compete with us for orthodoxy.

At this time, we are standing on the opposite side of the emperor, what will happen?"

After hearing what Duke Yansheng said, his son suddenly understood.

Then he looked very bitter, knowing his father's good intentions.

His father is the one who really thinks things through...

After that, Duke Yansheng did not do anything else.

Without any hesitation, he headed towards the capital as quickly as possible.

This matter must be explained to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to give Liu Sanwu and his people any chance.

Try your best to preserve the status that belongs to their Kong family.

Perhaps, the emperor would be helpless against all the scholars in the world, but if he only targeted the Kong family, there were still ways to deal with it.

Putting aside other things, just picking Nan Kong out and letting them inherit the position of Yansheng Duke is enough to make people uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly fool around with those people and follow Liu Sanwu and his gang?
Not only would they not do so, they would also strongly oppose it and support the statement made by Song Lian.

……

In the capital, various things have been unfolding in full swing.

Many people were waiting there for news from Duke Yansheng.

But who could have thought that something as sure as it seemed to them would actually go wrong!
After some waiting, it turned out that Duke Yansheng would not get involved in this matter.

And they were strictly forbidden to use the name of the Great Saint and Teacher to do such things.
As soon as this news came out, Liu Sanwu and many others were stunned.

Like being struck by lightning!

Then there was endless anger surging.

Some people couldn't help but curse loudly, thinking that Duke Yansheng's achievements were really excessive.

The Kong family are all wimps!

Don’t you know that what you and others are doing is also for the good of the Kong family?

As a descendant of the Kong family, not only did he not contribute to this matter, but he was also hindering it in various ways and saying such things, which is really infuriating!

This is really a betrayal of the teacher and ancestors!
No conscience at all!

Among the Kong family, the Meng family, and the Yan family, the Kong family is naturally the most influential.

The other two families are vaguely headed by the Kong family.

Among them, the Yan family did not get involved in the matter.

At this time, the Kong family conveyed this attitude directly.

Then there would naturally be no hope for the Meng family and the Yan family...

Under such circumstances, an extremely serious problem appeared before them.

Faced with this situation, what should they do?
"These people are all shameless and traitors!

But the fact that Confucianism has been able to develop to this day is not due to the countless people of high ideals who have stepped forward and faced challenges head-on, which has created the current status of Confucianism.

Those people only care about enjoying themselves and don't care about the life and death of Confucianism at all.

But we can't do this?
The more this is the case, the more we need to rise to the challenge!

If all of us retreat, we won’t dare to do anything.

Then Confucianism will have completely lost hope and will be oppressed by the new school of thought that misleads the people.

This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!
If they don’t do it, we’ll do it ourselves!

Tomorrow, all those who still have a conscience and have come to the capital will be gathered together to bring out the statues of Confucius and the Second Sage.

Bring them along to do this with us!

The Great Sage and Teacher is the Great Sage and Teacher for all people in the world, not just the Great Sage and Teacher of their Confucius family!

In this matter, their say has no say!"
