Zhu Yijun soon learned about this and immediately ordered:
"Pass an order to arrest them all and send them all to Luzon, where the local governor will send troops to imprison them!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Mr. Qixin may just be eager to protect Confucianism, so he won't be exiled and imprisoned!"
At this time, Wang Xijue was busy talking about Qian Yiben's love. After all, Qian Yiben was a great scholar from his hometown.
Zhu Yijun said: "I know that he cannot stop the general trend of the world, so I have no intention of doing anything to him, but if he is not punished, I fear that some Confucian scholars will follow suit;"
"The purpose of imprisoning him in Luzon was not only to prevent Confucian scholars from imitating him, but also to force some Confucian scholars who admired him to follow him across the South to Luzon because they wanted to see him and ask for his advice. This would be conducive to educating the natives and educating them. Yes, and the reason why they are imprisoned after being exiled is to prevent them from being actually harmed or coerced by the local people!"
"Your Majesty is more considerate than Chen and others."
"I'm just afraid that if His Majesty doesn't follow his advice, he might commit suicide now."
At that time, Shen Li expressed his opinion.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun quickly looked at Wang Shizhen beside him and said:
"Go and see that Confucian scholar, ask him to relax his vigilance, and at the same time ask the Jin Yiwei to capture him to prevent him from committing suicide, and then persuade him to make him understand that it is the general trend of the world that Confucianism cannot be exclusive."
"Not one or two people can change it, not even me, the emperor, can change it!"
"Furthermore, if the country has developed to this stage, if we want to enrich the country and benefit the people, we need the common development of multiple disciplines. Only respecting Confucianism is equivalent to actively weakening the power of the country and the nation."
"yes!"
"But Your Majesty, what if he doesn't listen?"
Wang Shizhen asked.
Zhu Yijun said: "If he doesn't listen, then he deserves to commit suicide! It shows that this person is not only pedantic but also bad. He is a person who would rather see the entire country and nation buried with him for his insistence on exclusive Confucianism than let his fellow citizens all over the world. Selfish people who want to live a better life!”
"I am willing to return the freedom of learning to the people. If he is not willing to return it, it means that he is a traitor to the people and the country! When the time comes, I will give him a plaque with such words written on it!"
After Zhu Yijun said that, he gave Wang Shizhen a very serious look.
Wang Shizhen raised his hand and said yes.
When Wang Shizhen came to Qian Yiben, Qian Yiben snorted rather disdainfully:
"Since it is you who are here, it seems that Your Majesty has no intention of meeting me and is determined to give up the exclusive status of Confucianism!"
Qian Benben said, "But it doesn't matter. I didn't expect to change the holy will. Now I just send the last message to His Majesty."
Subsequently.
Qian Yiben stood up and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the world is really going to change completely. Confucianism can no longer be the only one, let alone the study of saints like Cheng and Zhu!"
"His Majesty!"
Finished.
Qian Yiben shouted in the direction of Zhu Yijun's palace, then with tears streaming down his face he took out the poison in his sleeve and said:
"I'm leaving!"
"Since Confucianism really can't go back to the past, pedantic people like me will no longer need to live, but there is no need for you to do it yourself!"
Just when Qian Yiben was about to raise his head and drink the poison, Wang Shizhen waved his hand, and the two royal guards controlled Qian Yiben.
Qian Yiben was shocked: "What are you doing? What are you going to do?"
"Wang Fengzhou, don't you even want to give me a chance to commit suicide?!"
"Do you think everyone is like you and willing to enter the palace?!"
Qian Yiben then questioned Wang Shizhen loudly.
Wang Shizhen said at this time: "Don't be upset, Mr. Qian. The emperor has a decree and cannot let you commit suicide. He will only send you and your students to Luzon for supervision."
"You might as well go take a look at the situation outside, maybe you won't be stubborn anymore."
Wang Shizhen replied with a smile.
"Your Majesty?"
Qian Yiben asked Wang Shizhen in return, and then asked Wang Shizhen with a smile:
"Wang Fengzhou, when you address His Majesty like this, don't you feel that you are humble? Don't you feel that you have been the leader of the literary world for so many years in vain?"
"What does this mean? The literary world is not the Confucian world. Besides, even if it is the Confucian world, there is no reason why ministers cannot speak Confucianism?"
"Why do you have to say these things?"
"Now I just want to make some preparations before going to Luzon. Tell our family so that we can send someone to send a message to my family and let them prepare for me!"
Wang Shizhen said with a smile.
Qian Yiben said at this time: "No need, I am extremely desperate for this world! I will not let myself reach Luzon alive."
"You must make it to Luzon alive!"
Wang Shizhen suddenly grabbed Qian Yiben's lapel, said something through gritted teeth, and then said:
"This is what your Majesty means. Your Majesty has an edict. If you insist on committing suicide, then you are not only pedantic but also bad! You are a man who would rather see the entire country and nation buried with him for his insistence on exclusive Confucianism than to let the compatriots in the world A selfish person who wants to live a better life! There is no country or nation in your eyes, only Confucianism!"
"When the time comes, I will give you a plaque saying that you are a traitor to the country!"
Qian Yiyi fell silent after hearing this.
Wang Shizhen continued at this time: "I understand your feelings. After seeing that the world does not only respect Confucian scholars like scholar-bureaucrats, the people can be richer and the country can be stronger. No one can stand it, but there is no need for you to do it." You want to commit suicide because of this! Besides, suicide cannot change the fact that the old etiquette is indeed out of date. The fact is the fact, the truth is the truth, why should you cling to the incomplete?!"
"Woo!"
"Woo!"
Qian Yiben suddenly pursed his lips and burst into tears.
But he didn't say anything else, just nodded.
Next, Qian Yiben and the students and disciples who came with him to kneel down to admonish Zhu Yijun were also exiled to Luzon and placed under supervision.
And many Confucian scholars who admired him also followed him.
A few months later.
The money arrived in Luzon immediately.
Looking at the coast of Luzon Island on the vast sea and the large number of Ming Navy warships parked on the coast, Qian Yiyi felt mixed emotions in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Yongxian, and Zou Yuanbiao, the gentlemen in his heart.
"Why did Ming Dynasty become like this?"
"What would it be like if gentlemen and wise men ruled the country?"
"Will it be better than now?"
Qian Yiben was facing the warm and humid sea breeze, looking at the lush palm groves and the many Chinese Lingnan buildings lined up behind the groves, and began to talk to himself.
actually.
In his heart, he admits that the Ming Dynasty is now richer and more powerful than before, and he is willing to see this scene now.
But what he couldn't accept was that the Ming Dynasty's resurgence was all due to the instigation of Zhang Juzheng's party, which could be said to cater to the emperor.
Whether it was the elimination of corvee at home to make the Soviet people poor, or the large-scale use of troops abroad to make the barbarians subdue, they all appeared before Zhang Dang was eliminated.
even.
Nowadays, the remnants of Party Zhang want to completely reform the examination system and completely abandon the dominance of Confucianism.
And Qian Yiben was unwilling to accept such a result.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
That's why.
He couldn't help but wonder again, if "all the people are upright and prosperous in the dynasty", with the diligent and wise administration of Emperor Wanli, the Ming Dynasty will be able to develop to its current strong stage, but it can be achieved without abandoning the Confucian technique of exclusive supremacy and relying on scholar-bureaucrats. all of these?
That's right.
In his heart, Qian Yiben still regarded Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Wang Xijue and others as villains, thinking that they were the same as Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing, and they were not considered moral gentlemen.
Of course, as time went by, Qian Benben had to admit that people like Li Chengliang and Wang Xijue were in power and indeed made the country better and better.
But Qian Yiben still couldn't help but wonder if the country would be better off if those gentlemen like Gu Xiancheng and Zou Yuanbiao in his eyes were in charge.
Because Qian Ben still feels that the reason why the Ming Dynasty is so strong and prosperous now is not because Confucianism is out of date, but because the emperor loves the people and is more diligent in government than the previous emperors.
The thought of this.
Qian Yiben couldn't help but sigh: "Why doesn't your Majesty want to use a gentleman? If you use a gentleman, you may not need to use your army to abandon Confucianism."
…
"beat!"
"Beat me to death!"
"Telling you to be late!"
As soon as he arrived in Manila, Qian Benben saw a local Ming Dynasty official commanding several soldiers to beat a Nanyang native near a copper mine. This Nanyang native looked young and very thin, but was beaten. Beaten to pieces.
Qian Yiben saw this overflowing sympathy and immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Then, Qian Yiben handed over to the official: "Why should I be so unkind? He is just late. As the saying goes, you should be merciful and merciful."
The official bowed back to him: "You don't know something. These natives are the most lazy and cunning. If you talk to them about kindness, they will think that you are kind and can be bullied. You are lazy and steal public property. They will beat you to death before they know it." Follow the rules!"
"You can teach me well."
"If you really can't teach them, you can just drive them away. Why beat and scold them?"
Qian Yiben said.
The official laughed and said: "These natives all have the same virtues, how can they be educated? Besides, the copper mines are being pressed hard and there is no energy to educate them. It would be useless to drive them away, if not for the small number of Han people and the immigration. Those who come here want to divide their fields for farming, who wants to use them?”
After saying that, the official said again: "If you really want to be kind, just buy him, buy him back and teach him well and you will know."
After hearing this, Qian Yiben was really kind-hearted and spent money to buy this native into his slave.
Qian Yiben also named the servant Fengzhou.
It's just that after Qian Yiyi took Fengzhou to the supervision place, Fengzhou brought several natives who came in through dog holes one night when Qian Yiyi was under supervision and took control of Qian Yiyi. They stuffed his mouth with horse dung, stripped him of all his clothes, and plundered all the gold and silver items in Qian Yiben's bedroom.
It wasn't until daybreak that Qian Yiben was discovered by the servant who came with him. The horse dung in his mouth was taken out and he could speak. He stomped around the house naked and said: "Hurry to the newspaper officer! Hurry to the newspaper officer! Don't let them Ran!"
