Zhu Youxiao and the ministers here thought of promoting the vernacular and developing simplified Chinese characters because of the scuffle among Jiangnan scholars.
For Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, this fight between Jiangnan scholars also made them think deeply.
"I really didn't expect this scene to happen and lead to such a tragedy."
Huang Zongxi said to Lu Fu and other supporters when he was mourning some of the soldiers who were killed.
"Who would have expected this, but most of the casualties were our scholars who wanted to restrict the power of the monarch and restore the freedom of the people. Zuo Guangxian, Gao Dangui, and Wang Wujiu were killed by the army! There was a killer named Xu Du He killed more than ten of our classmates, and it was okay! Thinking about it now makes me feel aggrieved!"
Lu Fu said.
"Don't mention it again!"
"We are not the Green Forest Gang! Do we still want revenge?"
Huang Zongxi glared at Lu Fu, and then said: "If we take some time, let's go to the homes of these classmates who were killed or injured as a result of the Jinling Conference. If there is anything we can do to help, let's see if we can help."
"good!"
"I still feel unhappy when I think about it now. I thought that this Jinling Conference would make His Majesty willing to change the law, but I didn't expect that I, Jiangnan Shilin, could not reach an agreement!
Lu Fu replied.
Huang Zongxi showed distress: "There are differences! The fundamental reason for the differences is that they still pay more attention to the fairness of economic distribution, and we still care more about the fairness of power distribution!"
With that said, Huang Zongxi asked Lu Fu: "Which one do you think is the most important?"
"Of course it's a right!"
Lu Fu replied without thinking, "The world can't just do whatever the court wants? How can economic distribution be fair? Those who are stupid and lazy should be inferior to those who are diligent and good in wealth! Besides, wealth and honor Those who have considerable wealth can only achieve considerable wealth because of the efforts of several generations. Why should the poor and humble be as rich as they are with the efforts of one generation?! If this is the case, there must be absolute injustice!"
"But Gu Tinglin and the others don't think so. Their only kindness to the rich is that they don't want the rich to return to poverty!"
Huang Zongxi said excitedly.
Then, he walked around the room. Today's debate in front of the emperor still made him worried. He thought he could use this to keep Jane in the emperor's heart and stage a good story of harmony between the emperor and his ministers, but he didn't expect that he But failed to achieve this scene.
Even now, he is still a little confused. He doesn't know what's wrong with the concept he agrees with, and he can't convince Gu Yanwu and others.
…
"They are still so arrogant, hypocritical, and unscrupulous! I really didn't expect that Zuo Guangxian would collude with local gangsters to kill me. Fortunately, I am not easy to deal with. I killed many of them. In the end, if it weren't for the army Come on, I can kill that guy named Zuo!"
Xu Du gritted his teeth and said to Gu Yanwu and others.
"I didn't expect that a Jinling conference would lead to such a big change!"
"That is to say, this dynasty is still our own dynasty, so your Majesty has no intention of destroying anyone. If the world is really destroyed, such as the invasion of foreign races, once these hypocrites collude with foreigners and attack dissidents, I really don't know. What a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.”
Gu Yanwu couldn't help but say something because of this.
"There is no way. Some people only remember that there is a house of gold in the book, and there is beauty like jade in the book. Everything is inferior, but reading is the best. They forget the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the world, and forget Hengqu's four words. , Fortunately, there are no barbarians in the world now, and they cannot make trouble."
Gong Tingxiang said at this time.
"His Majesty has decreed that Mr. Wen Ge will give a lecture at Yingtian University Hall to announce the major events that the imperial court will do in the field of culture next, and let representatives of scholars from all over the country attend. What major events do you think the imperial court will do?"
Xu Qian brought up something else at this time.
"We'll know when the time comes. Maybe it's something we didn't expect."
Gu Yanwu laughed lightly after replying.
…
On this day, many scholars came to listen to Wen Tiren's lecture in the lecture hall of Yingtian University Hall, a public institution in Ming Dynasty.
Wen Tiren will give lectures in the lecture theater on the first floor of the lecture hall to advocate the promotion of vernacular literature among the scholars, so that the content of vernacular literature will no longer only appear in market literature, but also in upper-level circles. Dissemination of information.
Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the second floor of the lecture hall watching all this, silently observing how the scholars would react after Wen Tiren proposed promoting vernacular literature.
"The first thing an article requires is that it is easy to understand, and the second thing is that it is beautiful. Since the purpose of writing an article is to let the world know its meaning, it is natural to make it easier for the world to understand its meaning. Therefore, the imperial court must promote vernacular writing, that is, using the vernacular of the people as the official language. The form of all official notices will also be required for all future examinations. In addition, Chongwen Temple will only select vernacular articles in the selection of books from now on, and the world's writers should also actively write vernacular articles..."
After Wen Tiren started to talk about promoting vernacular writing, some scholars began to show signs of annoyance. When he said this, a scholar named Shi Weikun couldn't help but shout directly:
"Absurd! How can the imperial court do this? How can the vernacular spoken in the market be promoted to the elegant hall? Do you want to make all articles and poems inferior?!"
"How can this make articles and poems worse? The purpose of the imperial court is to make literature reach all the people in the world. Whether they are smart or stupid, as long as they can read, they can more easily understand the meaning of the writer!"
Wen Tiren replied.
"good!"
Guizhuang couldn't help but reply, and said: "This is really good! I'm annoyed by the obscure and tricky sentences, but I should write in vernacular! In this way, writing is not the business of some people, but the people of the world. It’s about people!”
"Yes, in this case, once there are good and thought-provoking articles in the future, all the people will be able to understand many important principles and understand the deep meaning of those who shout slogans. For example, some people often say that they want freedom, and after reading this easy-to-understand article You know, those who want freedom actually want more convenient annexation!”
Gong Tingxiang also echoed.
"It's so good! No wonder His Majesty refuses to change the law. The root of his love is the traitor! It's the traitor in the court who deceives the Holy One!"
Scholar Kuang Lanzhao retorted at this time and glared at Wen Tiren.
He is relatively sober and knows that all official articles are written in vernacular, so how can they deceive the people?
You know, his family runs a newspaper, and he relied on using many obscure articles to mislead public opinion to achieve his own goals, so he directly opposed it.
"Huang supports the promotion of vernacular literature. This is actually a general trend in the world! In the market, the demand for vernacular stories is increasing, which is enough to prove that more and more people are literate and read. We have to let the people know that we scholars are here What are you thinking about?"
Huang Zongxi actually agreed at this time.
"That's right, now that the literacy rate in the world has increased significantly, this matter of composition can no longer be just a matter for a few people, and the imperial court should do the same. After all, the imperial edict is not just for scholar-bureaucrats. It should promote vernacular writing, follow public opinion, and obey the people's hearts. Fang is the embodiment of putting people first!”
Among the liberals, Lu Fu, who cared about civil rights rather than advocating liberalism out of selfishness, also started talking.
"Why do you two gentlemen think this is right?!"
Kuang Lanzhao asked excitedly, and then said: "This is not possible at all! Culture is a noble and elegant thing, such as orchid and golden osmanthus. How can it be despised by the common people? How can the people in Guizhou deserve to read literature? You know, if you are a scholar, you can just follow it!"
"Writing is just a tool. It is a tool for people to know what you mean, what I mean, and what others mean. Naturally, the easier it is to understand, the better. Now that Your Majesty shares the world with the people, not just with the scholar-bureaucrats, writing should be more close to the people. OK!"
Wen Tiren said.
"Traitor! Don't talk nonsense!"
Kuang Lanzhao excitedly pointed at Wen Tiren and yelled, then he picked up the small potted plant behind him and threw it at Wen Tiren, shouting: "I'll smash you to death!"
"Smash him to death! Let him humble himself!"
"Smash you to death!"
A group of radical scholars who disapproved of the promotion of vernacular language responded.
Wen Tiren immediately hid behind the podium and shouted: "Hide first! Those who agree with me, stop them quickly!"
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately pulled out his royal musket and fired a shot into the air, and then shouted: "Be quiet!"
The soldiers who heard the gunfire and Zhu Youxiao's shout fell silent.
Kuang Lanzhao, who was about to rush to the podium because of his passion, also stood there.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At this time, rapid footsteps came from behind the podium.
Zhu Youxiao quickly went downstairs, and without waiting for Han Zanzhou to lift the curtain for him, he directly opened it and walked over. Looking at Kuang Lanzhao and other scholars, he shouted: "Do you feel that too few scholars were shot? Do you have to be so disrespectful of the king’s laws?!”
"Students, students, students just, just think that people like Mr. Wen Ge should be punished by everyone!"
Kuang Lanzhao bravely replied.
"Tell me, why do you deserve to be punished?"
Zhu Youxiao asked, pointing to Kuang Lanzhao.
"He's talking nonsense! He's saying inappropriate things!"
Kuang Zhaolan replied.
"absurd!"
Zhu Youxiao replied, then looked at Kuang Lanzhao and said: "You keep talking about freedom. Since you want freedom, why don't you let people speak? If you don't let the ministers speak, who do you think you are?!"
After scolding, Zhu Youxiao looked at the other liberal scholars who had just made noise and said: "I don't agree with your point of view, but we will defend your right to speak; when will you people have such awareness! If you can't do this, what rights do you have?!"
"Answer me!"
Zhu Youxiao shouted angrily.
“I don’t agree with your point of view, but I defend your right to say it.”
Huang Zongxi and Lu Fu listened to Zhu Youxiao's words and couldn't help but look ashamed.
Huang Zongxi stood up first: "Students can't wait for His Majesty to be broad-minded!"
Lu Fu also said: "It's their fault, thank you for your teaching!"
"Your Majesty, you are wrong! People who propose such nonsense as promoting vernacular literature are not qualified to speak. Their words will only undermine the order of dignity!"
Kuang Lanzhao replied.
Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily: "Very good! You actually talked about qualifications with me! However, you have to talk about qualifications, and you are right! But who decides this qualification? Is it you or me? Is it up to me to decide? If we really want to talk about who has the right to speak with a strong fist, I can completely deny all of you the right to speak, so that you can only act like beasts!"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao pointed at Kuang Lanzhao: "You guys don't have the fate of an authoritarian, but you have the heart of an authoritarian. Therefore, I can't keep a few of you. Keep a few of you lightly." Otherwise, it will harm your own clan, and more importantly, it will harm my power!"
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he pointed at Kuang Lanzhao and several other scholars who had just threatened to beat Wen Tiren to death: "These few, just drag them out and shoot them!"
Kuang Lanzhao and other scholars were shocked.
The other scholars were very surprised.
Huang Zongxi and Lu Fu were also a little surprised, and couldn't help but plead: "Your Majesty, please calm down, for the sake of their youth and ignorance."
"No begging for mercy!"
Zhu Youxiao replied, and then said angrily: "I have tolerated these ungrateful guys for a long time!"
"I just consider the national character and the principle of putting national interests first. I think that everyone is a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and cannot be treated the same as foreigners! They must be given a chance and cannot be punished without teaching! We cannot be sorry for the people of China. In the future, we cannot break the backbone of the Chinese scholar-officials, so I have saved my face for you and said that I want to make suggestions and suggestions. Well, I listened to you. Even if you even say that you want to limit the power of the monarch for the sake of all the people in the world, I will just tolerate it for the sake of China's foundation!"
"I can tolerate your willfulness enough! But don't push yourself too far!"
"I am not the emperor of a foreign race. If I were the emperor of a foreign race, I would only treat this place as a colonial area and treat you as slaves who can be enslaved at will. No matter what the future of the nation is, none of you will survive!"
"In that case, you still want to make suggestions and want the emperor to delegate power? What a beautiful idea!"
"In that case, if you say something that doesn't satisfy the emperor, don't say that you can't live. You might be exterminated just because of a wrong word! If you want to live by then, you can only kneel down and beg for help. Eat by mouth, do you understand?"
"During the Hu and Yuan Dynasties, it's not like you didn't know that even a Han official could not be a chief official! No matter how knowledgeable you were, you still had to kneel down in front of the Mongolian nobles and beg for an official position!"
At this point, Zhu Youxiao said at the end: "If you don't want to live like that, just restrain yourself! If the Han family wants to avoid falling into the hands of foreigners, the first thing they have to do is not to think about enslaving their own compatriots!"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneered: "Do you know how much bad luck I have avoided for you? It lasted for more than two hundred years, and thousands of horses were silent. Even if you write a poem, you may be copied by the whole family. If you want to learn, you can only go to ancient books. Is it bad luck to discuss typos? How could you not be as free as you are now to discuss the distribution of power and refute all ideas?"
"Pull out!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
"yes!"
…
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Students know their mistakes!"
Kuang Lanzhao and other scholars begged for mercy.
boom!
boom!
boom!
But once Zhu Youxiao decides, he will never change it.
Therefore, the gunfire rang out soon.
Kuang Lanzhao and others were shot.
All the scholars present took a deep breath and fell silent.
Wen Tiren didn't know what to say at this time.
"Your Majesty is right, we cannot think of enslaving our compatriots! Rule is rule, but we cannot destroy our own species and destroy our own Han world!"
Gu Yanwu was quite shocked by Zhu Youxiao's words at this time, and couldn't help but say something.
Then, Gu Yanwu said again: "We should promote vernacular Chinese so that all people can share the same wisdom!"
"That's right! People should not be too selfish. Only by keeping the Chinese in mind can they have the dignity of the Han family! Vernacular literature should be promoted to open up the people's wisdom!"
Gong Tingxiang also responded.
"Think carefully about my words. China's future still depends on you."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and replied with a smile.
Huang Zongxi wanted to echo him and said that he thought His Majesty was right, and the promotion of vernacular literature was indeed beneficial to the people and China, but before he could speak, Zhu Youxiao said to him, Lu Fu and others:
"Didn't you write a book about restricting the king? Why don't you write about how to restrict the people? In this world, there is a king on one side and a people on the other. Both ends must not loosen their strings!"
Huang Zongxi was also quite shocked after hearing this, and was also deeply moved by the recent fights he saw among the scholars fighting and slashing each other.
But before Huang Zongxi could answer, Zhu Youxiao turned around and left: "I'm tired, let's all disperse."
