Li Tianyang was comfortable and breathing, and he was a little less in awe of Daming, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a little proud and complacent.

In front of Li Tianyang, the face of the literati who was in the hearts of the public was ugly, and he was shocked by the heavy momentum that Li Tianyang invisibly exuded, and no one said anything.

"The master's words are deafening, and our scholars admire it, but even if I am not in the Ming Dynasty, it is also the foundation of my China, how can there be children who blame him for their parents' mistakes, we can sincerely go to Cambodia and try our best to persuade and correct it."

The person who suddenly spoke out was Tang Fenghua, who was old and serious, and when others were worried about the current situation and Li Tianyang's prestige, he turned a blind eye and spoke first when he was cold.

"And what the master of the gate does and says, it seems that he wants to be independent of the Ming Dynasty, and regards my Ming Dynasty's hundreds of years of national birth as nothing, which is very sad!"

"My lord was also born in my Ming Dynasty, and I have received the favor of the Zhu family, why is it that I have taken revenge now?"

This is the deep-rooted thinking that has been planted in Chinese Confucian culture for countless years, and even these literati who have broadened their horizons are rarely able to break free from these confinements.

"Those who gave birth to me and raised me, so do my parents!"

"When did the people of the Zhu Dynasty also become our benefactors. When we were ravaged by pirates, the people of the government were collecting our taxes; When we were experiencing natural disasters, the princes in the imperial city were coveting our estate. ”

"What we are doing now on Dayuan Island is the result of our hard work, and everything we have now, you here feel that what is given to us by the Ming Dynasty."

"Our Hongmen returned to the Ming Dynasty, although we have gained a lot of convenience on the surface, and it seems that we have controlled the Penghu Water Division, but in fact, our Hongmen has paid more, cleaned up countless pirates for the Ming Dynasty, and maintained the peace of the Ming Dynasty's maritime frontier."

"The invasion of the Ming vassal state of Ryukyu by the Eastern Wa Satsuma was the sacrifice of the soldiers of our Hongtang fleet, bringing peace to the Ryukyu Kingdom and preserving the dignity of the Ming Dynasty."

Someone touched Li Tianyang's brows at this time, and what he got was naturally Li Tianyang's crackling rebuttal, which made Tang Fenghua a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Li Tianyang had a taste of tongue warfare.

Bringing together these literati who had been on Hongmen Dayuan Island for a long time, Li Tianyang did not dare to say that he hoped to persuade the other party to agree with his actions, but he also hoped that through them, he could inject new things into Confucian culture, so that the foundation of Chinese culture would continue to be the root of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In later generations, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the invasion of foreign culture, the people gradually abandoned their own culture and went to learn the imported products of foreign culture, which eventually made many fine traditions in China abandoned and forgotten, and then there were all kinds of chilling things and actions.

Although Confucianism has its decay and rigidity, it is deeply rooted in the blood of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasty in China, passed down from generation to generation, and is most in line with the minds of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasty.

However, in the process of transforming Confucianism, as a child, I have been exposed to all kinds of knowledge in the Bengang School: Western culture, science, the knowledge of later generations in Li Tianyang's memory, and even the excellent knowledge and culture of the kingdoms of Dongwa and Ryukyu, as well as the culture of China itself.

However, these hodgepodge of general cultural knowledge can educate talents who meet the requirements of Hongmen, but if they want to improve Confucian ideology and culture, it is not what they are good at, and they also need professional talents to actively or passively change.

Like the many literati and writers present today, many of them are from the Confucian lineage inherited from the great sage Mr. Wang Shouren, or the maverick line like Li Zhen, but in terms of style, they are much more flexible than ordinary Confucian disciples, and it is easier to accept foreign culture, and then integrate into Confucian culture, and gradually change Confucianism.

It is not so much a debate, but a one-man show by Li Tianyang, who occasionally refutes the literati, and more often than not, Li Tianyang himself is gushing about the difficulties of their Hongmen, the difficulties of the choices they made, and so on.

Of course, just a debate could not make the literati present completely change their hatred of Hongmen's current behavior from the bottom of their hearts, but in the end, they still understood one thing, that is, Hongmen's departure from the Ming system, maybe there is still room for negotiation.

"The current constitution of my Hongmen may not be comfortable for the princes of the Ming Dynasty, but at least my Hongmen has not torn his face with the Ming Dynasty on the bright side and came out independently, and I, Li Tianyang, am still wearing the Ming Dynasty's crimson court clothes, and I still think that I am still a member of the Ming Dynasty."

"But if I want my Hongmen to continue to maintain this situation, or go further and truly return to the imperial court, in addition to the actions of the princes of the court and the emperor's choice, it also depends on the future behavior of everyone here."

"Hongmen has a warning saying: the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Since you want to persuade me Li Tianyang and my Hongmen to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then please also ask you to set an example for me Li Tianyang, so that I can see your efforts. ”

"Of course, we don't ask you to sacrifice everything for this, but you should at least let us see that you are going to make all kinds of experiments and temptations for the Ming Dynasty to live a better life, at least let us see the hope that you are willing to change."

"There are many people who can talk big, there is no shortage of such people in the world, so the world is so chaotic today, since you ask me Hongmen to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then please show your perseverance and perseverance, let us see!"

"If you really make actions and changes for the future of Daming, although I, Li Tianyang, dare not guarantee to make more radical measures, but at least I will ensure that in a short period of time, with the current attitude, there is still no problem in maintaining the subordinate relationship with Daming."

Li Tianyang's speech made many of the literati present show shame, but behind the shame, they also couldn't hide their weakness for Li Tianyang to stab them in the weakest part of their hearts.

"Gentlemen, let's wait and see in the future!"

Li Tianyang bowed deeply, announcing the end of the exchange between him and this group of literati, and this move of taking the lead put this group of literati who thought they occupied the height of faith in the void.

Even if he still felt that Li Tianyang was a strong argument in his heart, but after Li Tianyang didn't give them a chance to refute, he invited him out of the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion, looking at the solemn and solemn Hongtang soldiers at the Yamen, this group of literati was afraid that they would not have the courage to kill back into the mansion and go to theorize with Li Tianyang again.
