Liu Quexian and Wang Changgeng also looked confused and frightened.
"Mr. Fushan is such a spineless person?"
Wang Changgeng also asked to himself.
You should know that Wang Changgeng was a son of a bureaucrat and had come into contact with many scholar-bureaucrats. He was very familiar with and even admired He Xinyin. He admired the idea of everyone being a friend advocated by He Xinyin and his courage to mobilize the scholars and the people to fight against the government.
It can be said that He Xinyin is Wang Changgeng's idol.
But now, his idol caused him to be innocently arrested and sent to prison.
Wang Changgeng just asked this question for a moment, and after asking, he looked at Liu Quexian with a puzzled expression.
Liu Quexian sneered: "Not only do you have no spine, you also don't have a kind nature!"
Liu Quexian continued as he spoke: "Now that we have been arrested as well, it must be that for fear of being tortured and to satisfy Jin Yiwei, we, who have nothing to do with him, have been turned into aliens." party!"
Wang Changgeng could not refute.
After Hu Shiwen, Liu Quexian, and Wang Changgeng were taken to He Xinyin's prison, Wang Changgeng even cursed at He Xinyin first:
"My surname is He, we have no grievances against you. Even after I got to know you, I didn't think about suing the officials and asking for rewards. But why are you so heartless and involve us? Are you still a human being?! How can you be so heartless? So shameless?! You are a great scholar in vain!"
Hu Shiwen became even more furious when he saw that He Xinyin was not covered with bruises and was not even shackled, but was sitting quite contentedly on a pile of straw in a clean cell, holding a candle and writing some words. He then followed:
"Well done!"
Then, he also said to He Xinyin: "He Xinyin, if you confessed to us because you were tortured, I can understand; after all, not many people can survive all kinds of cruel torture instruments; but now you are obviously more like betraying a friend A villain who trades with innocent people for personal wealth!"
"What you did was really despicable and shameless!"
"I will cut off my robe and sever my ties with you!"
Hu Shiwen said harsh words.
He Xinyin looked at Hu Shiwen, Wang Changgeng, and Liu Quexian who were staring at him like evil spirits. After these three people came in, he hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Don't be surprised, everyone, it's not someone who wants to harm you, but someone who wants to save you!"
He Xinyin said with a smile: "You may think I am shameless now, but in a few days, you will definitely thank me for letting you come to prison."
Hu Shiwen snorted and turned his face to the side: "Even if I am locked up here for the rest of my life, or even beaten to death by the Jinyi Guards, I will not thank you. I will even join you in collusion and use the blood of my friends and even innocent people to dye the blood red." My own official robe!"
"Brother Chenhe!"
"You and I have been close friends for so many years. Do you really feel that you have misjudged me just because of one thing?"
He Xinyin called Hu Shiwen and asked.
Hu Shiwen ignored He Xinyin.
"Do you know that there is a big problem with the Taoism we adhere to!"
"We only pay attention to the need for everyone to be friends in terms of personality, but do not pay attention to whether there is a difference in status. Take the privileges and exemptions of the gentry as an example. Since everyone is a teacher and a friend, why can the gentry be exempted and exempted while the common people are not? Can I get a discount?""
"Also, should there be a distinction between Hua and Yi? Should Hua and Yi be friends with each other? Do we Han people, such as Japanese pirates, regard them as friends, or do we, the Han people, regard them as barbarians who only know how to kill, rape and kidnap, and should not respect them? ?”
He Xinyin started talking.
Hu Shiwen couldn't help but said: "The people are exempted, so where does the national money come from? It's just castles in the air!"
Then, Hu Shiwen wanted to express his opinion on the Hua Yi Shi mentioned by He Xinyin. Just as he was about to speak, he fell silent again and continued:
"Japanese pirates should not be friends. I saw their atrocities when I was young. They are simply a bunch of beasts! More than a dozen people from my tribe were killed by Japanese pirates, and they were all tortured and killed. So for Japanese pirates, you should kill them when you encounter them!" How can we regard him as a friend?"
"Even if we want to treat them as friends, they will not treat you as a friend. They will only mistakenly think that you can be bullied because you are friendly, and they will become more violent and arrogant!"
"As Chu Wenzhonggong (Chu Suiliang) said in the Tang Dynasty: Everything should be done first by the Chinese and then by the Yi and Di, and the Yi and Di will only fear power first and then admire virtue."
"you are right."
"So! Our previous Taoism was just a castle in the air, not perfect yet."
He Xinyin replied, then looked at Wang Changgeng and said with a smile: "Ms. Wang must have admired our Taoism before, otherwise he wouldn't have been as excited as seeing a beauty when he saw me, but now I have a good Taoism. It’s a big problem, so I asked you, Mr. Wang, to come here and accept the new Taoism together, so as not to ruin your life with my previous wrong learning, so I ask Mr. Wang to be considerate.”
He Xinyin said and raised his hands towards Wang Changgeng.
Wang Changgeng was confused.
If in the past, He Xinyin had bowed to him, he would have returned the favor hurriedly and would have been extremely happy. He would have told everyone how humble He Xinyin was.
But now, Wang Changgeng really doesn't know what to say.
"What about me? I don't respect your knowledge, so why do you want to harm me?"
Liu Quexian asked at this time.
He Xinyin also looked at Liu Quexian and said with a smile: "You're even better!"
He Xinyin sat back as he spoke, picked up a cup of tea and drank it, saying, "How can a person who talks about Zhang Jiangling's good deeds not come here to be saved by me?"
After saying that, He Xinyin looked at Liu Quexian and said, "You have to know that although Zhang Jiangling is good at pursuing the country, he is not a saint. It can even be said that he is a small person in terms of knowledge. As long as it is not good for him to govern. No matter how profound his knowledge is, he will use any means to get rid of him. As long as it is beneficial to the country, he will dare to use any knowledge, regardless of whether it is good or bad."
"In addition, if he could, Zhang Jiangling would be eager to silence everyone in the world. Even if he could do it through dirty means, he would choose to do so."
"In short, if you seek true knowledge, you should not worship this person as your teacher. This person is full of conspiracy and tricks, but he does not respect the words of any saint. And if you just want to gain power through Zhang Juzheng, there is no need to go now. Respect him."
"As for why there is no need to rely on Zhang Juzheng to gain power now, the reason is simple:
"First, you burned the stove too late, and he doesn't have much rice left to give you;"
"Second, he has reached the age where a good bow will be hidden. If you respect him now and say good things about him, your career may be ruined in the future. It is better to wait and see what happens."
"What your King's School emphasizes is to cultivate conscience. I respect Yuan Fu only from my own heart. Why ask anyone else."
Liu Quexian replied calmly.
"you!"
"How can you use the knowledge of Yangming students to refute me!"
He Xinyin's heart was like a burning fire, he stood up from the table, pointed at Liu Quexian and spoke loudly.
But when I think about his own advocacy of "everyone being a friend", and even the emperor ridiculing himself for only asking those who are more noble than himself to regard him as his friends, but unable to let those who are humbler than him also be friends with him, he swallows his words. After a moment, he smiled and said:
"What you said is correct, but it also made me realize that you are actually a stupid person! Undoubtedly, you have to stay here for a while longer and let me enlighten you slowly."
Liu Quexian: "..."
And people like Hu Shiwen, Liu Quexian, and Wang Changgeng were arrested on the street by Jin Yiwei.
In the spring of the seventh year of Wanli, the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty came out everywhere. According to the clues provided by He Xinyin, they arrested many great scholars and sent them to prison.
For example, it was a beautiful spring day at the end of February this year.
The great scholar Luo Rufang was invited by Xu Kun to give lectures at the Xujia Bieyuan in Huating. A large number of scholar-bureaucrats came to listen to the lecture.
But at this time, the Jin Yiwei who captured Luo Rufang and Xu Kun also rushed here in a hurry.
"Surround it up!"
"Don't let anyone go! Especially Luo Rufang!"
"Jinyiwei is handling the case, no one is allowed to leave!"
But these scholar-bureaucrats who were listening to the lecture were very angry after knowing that Jin Yiwei was here to take Luo Rufang and Xu Kun, and they all came outside the garden one after another.
"Don't arrest Mr. Xiuxi (Luo Rufang)!"
"You have already captured Mr. Fushan, and now you are arresting Mr. Xiaoxi. Do you really want to destroy my Taoism?!"
"That's right, what Zhang Jiangling means is that we are not allowed to discuss politics. Doesn't he also not allow us to give lectures?!"
"Everyone, if these court eagle dogs are allowed to capture Mr. Jinxi today, our Taoism will be ruined and the country will be destroyed! Therefore, a man will die defending Tao. Even if he dies here today, he cannot be allowed to take away Mr. Jinxi!"
In particular, Luo Rufang's admirers were the most excited, and they gritted their teeth at the Jinyi guards who came to arrest Luo Rufang, and kept shouting and calling.
"Defend my Taoism!"
"Defend my Taoism!"
"Defend my Taoism!"
…
These Luo Rufang's admirers were indeed very angry.
Some scholars actually drew the scribe's sword, and some scholars actually picked up the carrying poles and whistle sticks used by servants on the spot, pretending to defend Taoism.
And because Luo Rufang had a lot of loyal fans in this era, many of whom even traveled thousands of miles from other places to listen to the lectures. Therefore, when more and more scholars gathered together to surround the Jinyi guards to protect Taoism, , which actually made the Jin Yiwei very weak in numbers, like a lonely boat on the sea overnight.
The capture seemed to be getting difficult.
Xu Kun's face turned cold when he saw this, and he shouted to Zhen Yu, the leading Jin Yiwei Baihu:
"I am Xu Kun, but I don't know what happened to me and Mr. Jinxi? Please tell me, otherwise our Xu family will not agree to let you take Mr. Jinxi away for free today!"
"Even I myself would rather hit a pillar and die today than suffer this injustice!"
Zhen Yu, the leader of Jinyiwei Baihu, sneered and took out He Xinyin's autographed confession:
"This is He Xinyin's personal confession. He confesses that Luo Rufang and you, Mr. Xu, support pseudo-study. That's why the emperor issued an edict to you and others. Do you really want to resist the edict?!"
"What?!"
"How could Mr. Fushan betray Mr. Jinxi?!"
