129 Catharsis
"Earlier, I wanted to organize a conversation with all the Confucian pioneers here, but I couldn't make it because of various reasons."
"However, this time, when I issued the "Hongmen Charter", you gentlemen seem to have doubts about the law of our Hongmen, so this time the official sent someone to invite you to come and talk about it, first, to meet with you, and secondly, to discuss with you."
Li Tianyang's own momentum, although he is soft-spoken, but in the eyes of many literati, it makes them feel quite stressed.
"Since it's a chat and discussion, and the official is not wearing an official robe today, then let's not judge each other by our official positions, let's call each other friends!"
Without waiting for everyone to react, Li Tianyang was like talking to himself, as if everyone had agreed, and continued to start the following words.
"Before discussing, let me ask you a question, do you think that my Hongmen people, compared with the people of any place in the Ming Dynasty, where is it easier to feed people?"
The literati here are not self-deceiving people, and in Li Tianyang's scrutinizing eyes, although they don't want to admit it, most of them say that the people on Hongmen Dayuan Island are happier and freer.
"That's also a big factor, our Ming Dynasty has to deal with the civil rebellion, and we have to deal with the invasion of the Jurchen barbarians at the border, as well as the natural disasters for many years, anyone will be sad, there is no way!"
Although Ouyang Chelian, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, recognized the advantages of Hongmen, he did not forget to defend the Ming Dynasty, and he had been high-spirited and brought people to reason with Li Tianyang, but now when facing the seemingly friendly Li Tianyang, he did not dare to be too abrupt when speaking and debating, and even he himself did not notice it.
"Rioters? If it is really to the point where they are desperate and unable to live, who wants to be the chaotic people? Let your hands be stained with blood, face the pursuit of the government at any time, and at the same time have to turn into a villain with a clear conscience to be able to do it, do you really think they are willing to be this chaotic people? ”
Li Tianyang smiled, his eyes full of sarcasm, ridicule and sadness.
"The time you have spent in my Hongmen is not too short, for you literati who are willing to contact and learn new knowledge, I Li Tianyang is happy and relieved in my heart, otherwise we would not meet in such a scene today."
"In the books of my Bengang School, there is a dialectic about the contradictory relationship between classes, and everyone must have had a lot of contact."
"I have learned from the intelligence of the Hongmen internal guards that the number of Confucian disciples who came to study at the beginning was far more than that, just because most of the literati who were not here could not accept my Hongmen's ideas on class contradictions, separation of powers, etc., and denounced us as demon theories."
"And everyone here can continue to stay on Dayuan Island, whether you are willing to admit it on the surface or not, in fact, in your hearts, he already thinks that what I Hongmen said is quite reasonable!"
Li Tianyang's words are the truth, when he first came to Dayuan Island and came into contact with many theories of Hongmen that had never been concealed, many Confucian disciples began to resist and disgust the Hongmen system and ideas from the bottom of their hearts, and even spoke ill of these ideas, and finally left angrily.
Many of the literati present at this time have been able to study on Dayuan Island, and more after coming into contact with Hongmen Thought, I feel that there are also reasonable characters among them, so I can't say anything to refute Li Tianyang's words at this time.
"Natural and man-made disasters and wars are just an excuse given to the world by their rulers, and even you yourself are not deceiving yourself!"
"As a class, it's natural to speak for that class, isn't it?"
Li Tianyang's words gradually sharpened, putting the pieces of filth under the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty on the table, and even the group of literati in front of him were satirized.
"Why don't the gentry and landlords see them displaced by natural disasters? Why are they still able to fish and eat big meat every day, and sing every day? ”
"Even those of you literati who think that you take the world as your own responsibility, ask yourself which of your expenses on Dayuan Island is the income of your own labor?"
"Since you have the world in mind, then why don't you continue to follow the whip law made by the former first assistant Zhang Juzhengge, and immediately after his death, the gentry class will join forces with the princes and nobles to formulate policies and immediately depose them!"
"The reason is not just those two naked words--- interests!!"
“……”
sprinkled a large number of bad speeches, not so much that Li Tianyang invited the literati of the Ming Dynasty to reminisce about the past, but that he was venting the injustice he had felt over the years, and the anger in his heart!
For decades, Li Tianyang didn't dare to remind himself every day, but he also kept in mind his experiences, observations and feelings at the bottom over the years. And today's meeting, which was originally just a meeting between Li Tianyang and a cadre, turned into a vent for his years of grievances, but if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.
From the beginning of the crossing, Li Tianyang was thinking about his future life, and later generations have not been very friendly to the history of the Qing Dynasty, which belongs to China, especially the harsh methods under the rule of the Qing Dynasty in the early stage, so that Li Tianyang, a time-traveler whose memory is not very good, is full of worries about the future.
Whether it was the struggle in Tanmen in the early days or the later escape with a group of young friends, it actually came from Li Tianyang's desire to create a paradise that belonged to them.
For the sake of this ideal, Li Tianyang has killed people with his own hands, and has also made cruel and cold-blooded choices in the eyes of others, so that his heart has changed unconsciously.
And his experiences, observations and experiences at the bottom of the people, a life he experienced in later generations and now become memories, has a strong sense of conflict, so that he always can't help but make comparisons, and use his imperfect knowledge system to understand and digest the reasons.
For a long time, Li Tianyang felt a kind of disgust, disgust and hostility towards the officials, gentry, and royal family who were parasitic on the people and sucked the blood of the people.
It's just that the weakness of Hongmen in the early stage made Li Tianyang bury this feeling deep in his heart, and even in order to make Hongmen grow faster, Li Tianyang had to forcibly suppress his hostility and disgust towards the ruling class, but instead took Hongmen to take the initiative to find the Ming Dynasty and became an unnoticed enclave on its huge territory.
Now, Hongmen defeated the Qing Dynasty in the northeast that should have achieved hegemony in Li Tianyang's memory, and after proving the company's own strength, the inflated ambition and confidence finally showed the company at this moment, so that Li Tianyang could vent his accumulated dissatisfaction for many years without scruples.
