Zhang Tongchang looked at the emotional Zou Yuanbiao and didn't speak, but his expression became more and more solemn.After a long time, Zhang Tongchang said: "Well, back then, the ancestors innovated and eliminated the disadvantages of the world, and you Zou Yuanbiao tried his best to stop it, and now this official is ordered to demolish Donglin Academy, and you come to stop it, since my Zhang family will inevitably dispose of you for the world and the king, then I can only kill him!"
”As he spoke, Zhang Tongchang waved his hand: "Meet Zou Gongzhi's request and step on him!"
”Zou Yuanbiao was quite stunned because of this, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Zhang Tongchang: "You, you, you ......"
"Yes!"
”At this time, Yang Huan and other Dongchang officials had already come over first."
Get out of the way!"
Moreover, Yang Huan personally kicked Zou Yuanbiao.Zou Yuanbiao fell directly to the ground, with severe pain in his abdomen for a while, and a fishy sweet feeling in his mouth.But before Zou Yuanbiao could speak, he saw a foot suddenly appear on it, and then stepped directly on his face.Zou Yuanbiao's newly raised head hit the ground again.Zou Yuanbiao directly suffered severe pain in his face and was about to scold, but at this time, another foot stepped on his eyes and stepped on him."
AhhZou Yuanbiao couldn't help screaming.But at this time, there were already countless pairs of feet stepping towards him, and the foot of Yidongchang Qixiao just stepped on Zou Yuanbiao's stomach and then stepped on his face.By the time the flag schools of countless Dongchang and Guards Battalions passed, Zou Yuanbiao had been trampled on and covered in blood and mud, unconscious."
You court eagle dogs, how can I be the elder of Donglin!"
At this time, a scholar accused Zhang Tongchang and others for this.Yang Huan, who came over, didn't say much, and directly stabbed the scholar in the stomach, and then drew a bloody knife and said: "Those who stop the court officials will be killed!"
”"No mercy!"
The rest of the flag schools also drew their swords and killed them, slashing and killing these soldiers wearing square scarves one by one.The soldiers had no choice but to flee in a hurry.In the end, except for the dozen or so killed scholars and Zou Yuanbiao lying on the ground, it was all blood, and there was also a square scarf folding fan that was thrown on the ground.The fleeing soldiers finally stopped when they fled to a distant part of the back mountain.Because they have already seen that the flag school of Dongchang and the Guards Battalion has begun to demolish Donglin Academy.At this time, the flag schools of Dongchang and the Guards Battalion were pouring fire oil on various places in Donglin Academy.Then, with the lighting of a fire, the entire Donglin Academy began to turn into a sea of fire.The fire engulfed every wooden building in the area.The click of wood as it burns is crisp and loud.But also because of this, it feels especially warm to have so much wood burned in this winter.Tenants in some of the nearby huts began to gather around to keep warm.Next, Zhang Tongchang organized these tenants belonging to Donglin Academy to turn the burned Donglin Academy into farmland.Gu Xiancheng was naturally also killed in the next coffin.The entire Donglin force was completely eliminated at this point, and Jiangnan scholars' attempts to manipulate the government through private academies were further prevented.Zhu Youxiao strongly taught these Jiangnan scholars another lesson, so that these people had to know that the Ming Dynasty was an imperial society and a world in which the Son of Heaven was dictatorial.Naturally, the news of the burning down of Donglin Academy was soon known by the courtiers and gentry of the world.Although there was no bourgeois democratic ideology in this era, the emperor's toughness and autocracy still made these civil gentry feel uncomfortable.As scholars, as elites, they can only accept the rule of the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult for them to accept a life of being controlled like ordinary people."
Donglin Academy has been burned down, Mangong and others have been killed, nearly 10,000 Jiangnan gentry in Liaodong are working hard like Li Shu, and many Confucians in my Jiangnan also live in grass huts every day, and have to pick up dung and dig the soil, it can really be said that Sven's face has been swept away, Qian Gong, how do you say this is good!"
On this day, in the dark room of a guild hall, Wu Zhihuan, a young Zhan Shi in civilian clothes, told Qian Longxi about it.Qian Longxi's whole person trembled instantly after hearing this, and asked in shock: "What did you say, Mangong was killed, how was he exposed?"
”Wu Zhihuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Qian Longxi asking: "This matter is also the Jiangnan gentry, because the Son of Heaven directly followed the riot in Jiangnan and raised a big case, the Jiangnan gentry couldn't sit still, and they didn't dare to betray the king, so they could only persuade the Manchu to come forward, and the Manchu agreed, but then the members of the Ying Society were still taken, whether the Manchu took the initiative to denounce or was forced to denounce is unknown, but it is certain that from the beginning, the gentry were too weak." ”Qian Longxi didn't know how to speak after hearing this, his fists were pinched and opened, opened and pinched.After a long time, Qian Longxi sighed: "The gentry in Jiangnan have harmed me and the Mangong!"
knew that they were so unreliable, it was better to be a loyal minister and traitor through and through. ”After Qian Longxi finished speaking, he took out a porcelain vase, and said with a wry smile: "However, fortunately, I also expected that there would be such a day, Mangong, I can't stop him, Jiangnan gentlemen, I can't stop it, but sooner or later I will be implicated by them, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." ”As he spoke, Qian Longxi swallowed the pill in the porcelain bottle."
Qian Gong!"
Wu Zhihuan shouted.But it didn't take long for Qian Longxi to collapse on the chair, his pupils dilated.......
"Qi Emperor, in response to the revelation of Zhang Cai, a member of the Society, that Qian Longxi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was related to the Jiangnan riots, and the slave was about to ask you whether to send someone to arrest him, but suddenly got a secret report that Qian Longxi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, had committed suicide by taking medicine, and the slave and maid were derelict in their duties, so please punish the emperor. ”After Qian Longxi committed suicide, Wei Zhongxian quickly got the news here, and immediately came to the political hall to report to Zhu Youxiao."
I know, step down."
Zhu Youxiao replied."
Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.And next, Zhu Youxiao said to the other party because of this matter: "This Qian Longxi is also a smart person, it is better to commit suicide by himself than to wait for me to do it, but this time he can't escape this catastrophe, it is not to blame me, this can only be blamed on the lack of courage of the group of people they rely on." ”"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, these people have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, but the minister dared to say bluntly, if this continues, I am afraid that there is also a hidden worry, that is, the corporal doctor in the world will not dare to talk about current affairs because of this, and then there will be a phenomenon of thousands of horses together, which is not conducive to the empire's plan for a thousand years."
Fang Congzhe knew that Zhu Youxiao was violent and not faint, so he directly expressed his opinion.Zhu Youxiao guessed that Fang Congzhe would say this.Because he also knew that in this era, if a dynasty wants to maintain long-term stability, it must not only control the scholars, but also use the scholars to maintain the dynasty.But Zhu Youxiao had already considered this, so he said: "Before the wisdom of the people is opened and all the people in the world have the consciousness of being the masters of the country, what I need is for these scholars and doctors to be obedient, not to supervise me, nor to act freely outside the king's law; Now, any attempt to let the scholars supervise the king will turn into an opportunity for some people to seek rents and usurp the imperial power, and instead of hoping that the scholars will supervise the king so that the king knows how to govern the country, it is better to focus on how to train and choose the future king!
Of course, if the scholars are still allowed to supervise the king, then who will supervise the scholars?
Are the common people, willing or not?
This is not impossible, and it is in line with the ancestral system, and the "Great Message" made by Taizu has the words of the common people supervision officials. ”Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly: "It's still Your Majesty Shengming!"
The minister's words are inappropriate!
At this time, it is indeed not the time to follow the ancestral system and let the common people supervise the hundred officials!
As His Majesty said, the common people have not yet opened their wisdom and do not know the etiquette law, and at this time, ordering them to supervise the hundred officials will only cause disharmony between the upper and lower levels, and the scholars and doctors cannot trespass the etiquette system and have no king in their eyes. ”Compared with the absolute people, that is, let the common people also be the masters, Fang Congzhe Ning is willing to choose an absolute monarchy."
Yuanfu is a person who understands, I am ordered by heaven, if I am not worthy of being the lord of the world, heaven will accept it, and if the people of the world are not worthy of being a man, I will receive it!"
Zhu Youxiao said it, and he knew that Fang Congzhe was definitely unwilling to let the common people supervise them.
