An old man blushed and roared angrily.
Then he pointed at the crowd tremblingly: "You still have the nerve to accuse me and others? I ask you, do you agree to advance and retreat together? Do you agree to argue with the emperor?
Did you have any debate during the whole process? Have you ever asked for love for Beizong? "
When the old man said this, everyone's faces were filled with strange expressions, and they immediately fell into thinking.
"How damn treacherous, the southern patrol actually used the art of war!"
"The art of war? Build plank roads openly and secretly attack Chencang?"
"Yes, that's not right either. Building the plank road openly and secretly visiting Chencang is just superficial. The real essence is the debate between Cao and GUI."
"I understand. Isn't it: one rush of energy, then another failure, three times exhaustion, one exhaustion and one surplus?"
"I see, that's not it. It's not superficial to build the plank road openly and covertly attack Chencang. The emperor is using his plan to kill two birds with one stone. What a plan!"
…
The crowd was talking a lot, and everyone suddenly realized that if they thought about it carefully, it was just killing two birds with one stone.
They had always been led by the emperor. The emperor said he was coming to Qufu, but in the end he went directly to South Zhili and liquidated the officials, gentry and wealthy merchants in South Zhili.
Having deceived the people of the world, he raided Suzhou and saw the chaos in Suzhou with his own eyes.
Moreover, during the more than one month in South Zhili, by making us wait, arresting people to go to labor camps, etc., it greatly slowed down our edge and momentum.
Then the news of the liquidation of Suzhou and Nanzhili came, which directly weighed heavily on the hearts of the literati in Qufu.
When Luan Jia arrived at the Kong Mansion, he made a huge showdown. Under the aura of chilling, they knelt for two hours, and they were still scared to think about it now.
When the emperor arrived at the Confucius Temple, he directly used his righteousness to suppress it, forcing the Confucius Mansion to open the Confucius Temple to the outside world. Most of the scholars who came to Qufu had no fame, which was beneficial to them.
Then the emperor did not follow the routine and directly asked the guilty party in front of the Wanren Palace wall.
First, the saint son Kong Xingxie collaborated with the enemy, and then he produced evidence of the crimes of more than a thousand people in the Kong family. With the evidence conclusive, he still wanted to plead for mercy. This was not the way to seek death.
The Kong family's crimes made them angry, and the emperor's domineering attitude made them afraid. Then the emperor brought up the matter of blood. The emperor directly asked who could take the responsibility, and he also backed down a step.
In addition, Nanzong himself did not fight, and it became even harder for them to fight.
Before they could calm down, something came up that made irresponsible remarks about government affairs. He couldn't protect himself, let alone others, and then the matter of Qufu Kong Mansion was settled in such a vague way.
The most important thing is that no one expected that the emperor would cut down all the Northern Sect, and the Southern Sect was extremely determined to give up, which completely disrupted their plan.
After thinking about it, the young scholar who had just scolded the crying man became angry.
"Look for yourselves at the things Beizong has done. As a saint and as a scholar, everything you do is shameful to me. It would be better to kill him!"
"That's right, it's good that we didn't do it ourselves. Why are we so shameless if we still maintain it?"
"Yes, the sages didn't teach us to confuse right and wrong, tell stories about right and wrong, or tell lies with our eyes open!"
"As you think, it's a good thing you're not an official, otherwise you'd be another group of corrupt officials!"
"The head of the Kong family of the Southern Sect is right. The Northern Sect is lying on the merits of our ancestors and sucking blood. We are not ashamed!"
"Actually, we don't need to say anything more. If you listen to the cheers and discussions of the people in Qufu, you will know how disgusting the people you keep defending are."
"You should have heard that people in the Confucius family said that there are only three families in the world: mine and Jiangxi Zhang and Fengyang Zhu. Jiangxi Zhang has Taoist morale; Fengyang Zhu has a bad family spirit.
How disrespectful are these words? Is this what a citizen of the Ming Dynasty should say? "
"Also, you have entered the Confucius Temple. There are wooden boards with memorials from emperors of all dynasties, but there are no titles given by the Ming Dynasty.
What is this called? Still want to do something? Deceiving the king? How disrespectful? Rebellion? "
…
puff……
Listening to everyone's vicious retorts, the old man was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
More people who defend are furious, gnashing their teeth, and tearing their crowns...
"After waiting for more than a year, the imperial court finally took action to kill them, and we were not disappointed!"
"It's so happy, it's so happy, it's so fucking happy, what happened today is the happiest day in my more than thirty years!"
"It's fine. We finally don't have to be oppressed and exploited by the Tao. I look at their faces every day and always feel that they are superior. I've really had enough!"
"Yes, if I were not the emperor, I might go on a rampage one day and stab a few of my disciples to death. Even if I die, I will treat it as killing someone for the people!"
"Although the emperor is young, he is really domineering. He is much more domineering and courageous than Wuzong back then!"
…
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
When everyone was yelling at the old Confucian scholar kneeling on the ground, angry shouts came from behind the crowd, and then the crowd was violently pushed aside, and dozens of farmers rushed in.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground with tears on their faces, the farmers were full of disdain.
"You old immortals want to protect the Kong family? Are you going to argue with His Majesty?"
Several old Confucian scholars were so angry that they trembled with anger and couldn't speak properly: "You, you..."
"Shut up, I'm sorry, what are you...your uncle's!"
The leader roared angrily and interrupted the old man's words directly: "The emperor has given face to the Kong family, you must make trouble,
Okay, since you are shameless, I will show you how hateful the people you defend are. "
"I tell you, the land rent in the Confucius Mansion includes private land, sacrificial land, Tangmu land, Zhenfen land, etc., and the tenancy rent is as high as 50% to 60%.
In addition, when paying rent, you have to go through acceptance inspection, rent measurement, and warehouse entry. You guys should understand what is meant by grain inspection and warehouse rats.
Let's go and learn more about what is called "Entering Confucius's house is difficult at every step, and there is blood and tears at every step and injustice every step of the way." "
"A group of old immortals. In addition to these, the Confucian government forced us to pay tribute and serve. There are vermicelli households, bean sprout households, toon households, peach households, etc. for eating.
There are also plate households, plate households, and kitchen households that enjoy life... there are hundreds of kinds of items.
Once designated by them, it will be inherited from generation to generation without any possible freedom! "
Hearing the angry rebuke of the two common people, the faces of the surrounding scholars were full of horror. They really didn't know that the rent would be so high, far higher than that of ordinary wealthy merchants and gentry.
I didn’t even know that there were so many ways of exploitation in the Kong family.
But this was only a glimpse of what they saw. As they marveled, several old men limped to the front of the crowd with sticks on their backs, staring at the people kneeling and waiting with anger on their faces.
Everyone looked at the crutches and exclaimed: "What are you going to do? This is Qufu, in front of the Confucius Temple, and the emperor is still there. Are you going to commit murder?"
