There is a group of people on the street, both young and old, and you can see at a glance that their class is mostly some scholars.

In these years, there are still many people who are really talented readers, and they will have a lot of money if they write a few books, after all, printing technology has improved, and many local newspapers are also looking for this kind of person to write articles.

A group of people were divided into two groups with clear banners, and the two sides held the newspaper to accuse each other, and even some of them were not calm.

Soon, the highly efficient Jinling Mansion officials arrived, first scolded the two groups of people, and then asked the cause of the trouble on the street to determine who was the provoking party.

Hou Xuanyan mingled in the crowd, mixed with many guards, especially around him, all of whom were top guards pretending to be ordinary people. used his dexterity quietly to protect Hou Xuanyan from standing firmly beside him, and no one pushed him.

Standing in the VIP-level viewing area, Hou Xuanyan watched this scene with great interest, one of the young men blushed and shouted: "Your Majesty opens the wisdom of the people and teaches you to read and write, but it is not for you to accuse the government and go against the grain." ”

"Chen Zifeng, you don't spew blood! We are also a public heart, and we will go to the collective book immediately, which is better than you as an incompetent villain, who only knows how to stick a knife in the back. ”

The young man called Chen Zifeng was very excited, in order to prove himself, he was about to roll up his sleeves and fight, when had the law enforcement officials on both sides been ignored like this, he was furious, and kicked on the buttocks, pulled out a knife and bluffed: "Bold!" If you dare to be so arrogant in front of the public, you will bring all of them back to the yamen. ”

Hou Xuanyan secretly praised that these poor people are good, and the law enforcers should have their own majesty, and they can't shout a few words "Bad people beat people!" because they are afraid of passers-by!" "I don't dare to enforce the law.

The leader of the command of the fast command of the people, just wanted to bring this group of scholars back to the yamen, Hou Xuanyan said in a low voice: "Take them to the single room of the restaurant." ”

Qin He nodded and stepped forward and hugged the catcher, the latter just wanted to fight back angrily, Qin He took out his waist card and flashed in front of the catcher.

"Greatly.. My lord, why are you here. Isn't it? ”

Qin He said in a deep voice: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, bring these people to Old John's Restaurant." ”

dispersed the crowd of onlookers, and several young people who were still angry were taken to the restaurant, and they all felt a little surprised. Is it possible that if you send someone to arrest someone now, you still have to ask for a meal first?

Knowing that they arrived at a private room and saw the person sitting in it.

Hou Xuanyan has been in the top position for a long time, and when he doesn't hide it, he naturally has the power of the top person.

Qin He looked at the people with blank faces and said, "This is the saint today, and he still doesn't salute." ”

Somehow, a few people all believed it, and they all bowed down one after another.

Hou Xuanyan said: "Let's be flat, I have traveled so far, and I heard that someone wants to go to the book, I don't know why?" I'll just call you here, and I'll save you trouble. ”

Speaking of fighting here, the young man who shouted angrily to go to the book was a little timid, and when he spoke, he could really see the emperor with his enthusiasm, who was not honestly afraid. After all, after two thousand years of edification, the concept of the Son of Heaven is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The young man named Chen Zifeng, at first glance, was a diehard loyalist of the emperor, and now Jinling City is full of Hou Xuanyan's fanatical supporters, and immediately came out and reprimanded him sternly: "Your Majesty, this group of people is arguing about the government and politics in vain, and they are playing right and wrong!" ”

"What exactly?"

"They even questioned the Nanyang decree, saying that human trafficking is against heaven and peace, and it is not the work of Renjun."

Having said that, the young people before were not afraid, and they looked like this.

Hou Xuanyan frowned, and secretly scolded in his heart for being unlucky, he knew that this was the case, so he didn't pretend to be forced.

At the beginning, he was in a hurry to solve the food problem, so he promised Tokugawa Iemitsu to send troops to Siberia and sell his own people to the Japanese to cultivate the land.

In the long run, this matter will be beneficial and harmless, and if the natives in Nanyang do not move away, it will be difficult to return to their hearts, and it will be a hidden danger in the future. With these people in Japan, as soon as the economy developed, the Japanese market also became larger, and there were more raw materials, which was another good thing for the merchants of the Chinese Dynasty.

In the short term, it is more important that he is also armed, and he goes deep into the cold Siberia to deal with the Maozi expedition. That place is cold and snowy, and he really let his well-trained elite soldiers go, and Hou Xuanyan is still a little reluctant

There are so many benefits to this matter, but it is a little morally untenable, and now it is being asked

Fortunately, Hou Xuanyan is not the kind of person who is afraid of losing money, he has a mouth, and he can't come with his mouth open?

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the grass people and others are all happy and convinced, and they are also grateful to Your Majesty for driving out the Tartars and restoring the Han Dynasty, but this matter is indeed a little unkind."

Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and said angrily: "Scholar's opinion! When you were here to point out the country, had you ever seen the tragic situation of the Han people on Luzon? Hundreds of people in Fujian stopped and shouted injustice, and all of them cried in Xucheng, but those murderers here became innocent civilians. In the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu committed the border, and Huo Qu was sick and killed in the desert, did they interrogate one by one to make sure that they had not invaded the Han people before they were killed? Mongolia cultivates momentum and kills the Central Plains, so that the people with mercy do not have to die?

National affairs, how can it be the benevolence of women, and those who openly offend strong men, although they are far away, will be punished, it is the precept of our Han ancestors, and it is a manifestation of unkindness and injustice when it comes to you. When the Manchus went south, your benevolence and righteousness guarded how many cities and how many people did you bless? ”

After saying a few words, the room was silent, especially the last sentence, which was too lethal. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has just passed in the south, and everyone has not forgotten the disasters caused, and the Central Plains is full of blood and corpses.

The Tianjia Emperor Hou Xuanyan, who was born out of nowhere, did not do enough "benevolence", but no one can deny the credit. Even those who hate him the most have to admit that without Hou Xuanyan's iron-blooded killing, it would be difficult for the Northern Expedition to succeed.

Chen Zifeng was very happy, and he couldn't wait to express his reverence to Hou Xuanyan on the spot, but he didn't know how to express it, so he could only stand aside with his hands dancing, and he didn't know that he thought this person was crazy

After Hou Xuanyan finished scolding, he felt a little more comfortable, and said with a soothing face: "I know that you have read the Four Books and the Five Classics by heart, but a nation cannot only rely on tolerance and kindness to deal with its neighbors. You are the young people of the Hua Dynasty and the future of the Hua Dynasty, and you must learn to open your eyes to the world, instead of blindly indulging in the fallacies of Confucianism and naively looking at the world. ”

A group of people knelt on the ground, reluctant to get up for a long time, and when they got up, Hou Xuanyan and the others had already gone to the empty room.
