Chapter 754: Last Effort
The protagonists have left, but the audience has not dispersed, and it is still bustling outside the Chengtian Gate. γReading.comγ
"Well, why are they all starting to withdraw from the field?" The ring was specially built by Masatoku in order to show off, and after defeating Tsukahara, he lost his interest, and he returned to the team, which made those people who were so lively regretful, especially when they saw that someone was demolishing the ring, this feeling of regret was even more intensified.
"What else do you want? This is the Forbidden City, not the Shaolin Temple, and you can still put up the ring and wait for people to challenge every day? "Although Chengtianmen is magnificent, but there is such a big ring behind it, it is indeed very unobtrusive, if it is not for the people in the capital who are used to the style of following the surname today, it is really impossible to adapt, those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, will be refuted immediately.
"How nice it is to finish all at once! You see, the envoys who came today are not only from the Wa Kingdom, but also from the Korean and Western Regions. By the way, even the Tartars came, and there were also barbarians from the South Seas, who were not good people at first glance......" The previous man still refused to give up, and argued with his neck stiff.
"They? Don't be stupid, if it was changed before the Japanese people made a move, maybe they still had a little thought, but when Ximen Daxia used the flying immortals outside the sky, didn't you see the faces of those people? The faces of those people in the Western Regions were all green, similar to the grapes in the Western Regions, and the messenger of the Tartar couldn't stand steadily, and began to shake, and the Nanyang barbarian, at that moment, his face was not black at all, it was white, haha......"
"The treasure handed down by the ancestors is really powerful, when Yingzhou was fighting, the Guards used this to cut down the Vala people back...... More than 30,000 people came, and nearly half of them died when they charged, all of which were the work of this strange sword! β
"Yes, when I heard about it, I was a little confused. It's not that I suspect that the Guards lied about the military situation, but I can't figure out how to think about it, what kind of magic weapon can have that kind of power, today's look, I can understand, as long as it is such a stab and a wave, it is invincible, this is the Mo knife, powerful, too powerful! β
Shocking the envoys of the vassal kingdom was not a glorious thing, and the topic quickly turned into a discussion about Modao. When the Guards returned to the dynasty, the Modao was also unveiled, but for ordinary people, they could only have a complete concept after seeing the practical application. Therefore, the enthusiasm at this time is not at all below the moment when I first heard the good news.
"How could such a good thing have been ...... before" has been repeated countless times, and the question has been asked again.
"Hey, it's not those corrupt officials, the more powerful the weapon, the more it will cost, and the more it will be consumed, the more reluctant those scholars and doctors will be to use it...... According to the gentlemen of the academy, technology should progress with the times, but if you think about it, in our Daming, it is really not like that! β
"At present, the artillery and bird guns in the army are not as easy to use as Yongle in the year, my grandson's ancestors are in the capital, the Shenji battalion in the Yongle years, it is a practice in five days, a drill in ten days, and the usual practice is the formation and posture, but there is at least one real gun drill a month, but what about these years? Not to mention the real drills, even the formation drills are wasted......"
"Even if the generals of the Shenji Battalion want to, they can't really do it. You may not know that not only are the birds in the army not only not as far as they used to be, but they will also blow up! The rate of blowing up the bore is also very high, at least three or four out of ten will be blown up after a few uses, and at least one will be blown up as soon as it is used! β
"Wow, what kind of firearm is that, is it used to kill or kill someone? Isn't this a pit man? Won't the Ministry of Industry do more checks? The revelations of several insiders caused an uproar. The quality of the sword is poor, and the user can at most change it to a white blade empty-handed, but the quality of the firearm is poor, and it can be fatal, at least it is a serious injury, and the injury is still on the face.
"Gatekeeping? Cut, if you want to say how to make the firearm hit farther, reload faster, and more powerful, there may be some technical content, which needs to be studied carefully, but how to ensure the quality and not let it explode is very simple, it is nothing more than using real materials. The bird gun in the Yongle year can be used as a hammer to smash people, and the bird gun in these years will smash rabbits at most, if it weren't for those scholars, how could it be like this? β
"Hmph, these people really deserve to die, a few days ago, when I heard that Scholar Yang hanged himself, I still felt a little unbearable, but now it seems that they really deserve it."
"Yes, evil is rewarded, and their good life is over."
The main drama of the Great Dynasty is not a secret, and most people know about it in advance. In addition to the announcement, the same conclusion can be drawn from the analysis of current affairs in the capital.
The heroic spirit tablet of the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth has been completed before, and the national beetle tablet has also been completed one by one, and the inscription adopts a relatively unique way of recording. The reason why this method is unique is because of its objective surname, and the inscription does not directly convict people, but just truthfully records the life of each person on the list.
There is no word on it for corruption, but as long as a person in his right mind sees the changes in the family property of a certain official before and after taking office, and thinks a little, he can come to a similar conclusion.
With just the money provided by the imperial court, how can Hanwen's family property be extremely inflated, and even have a gap of more than ten times before and after? It is true that the Han family is a family, but before Hanwen entered the household, the industry has maintained a steady growth trend, and this sudden change is obviously related to the power of Hanwen.
On the inscription, there is also no written corpse vegetarian meal, but what the host has done can also be seen through the changes in the yamen before and after his tenure.
framed and framed, colluded with foreign enemies, and conspired to cause chaos...... Accusations such as these are expressed in this way, and the facts are only stated without making a conclusive conclusion, but they are more convincing than direct convictions.
Among the onlookers who came to Chengtianmen, some people had seen the national beetle monument, and some people had not, but after this discussion, people reached a consensus and put aside the last trace of pity in their hearts. These people are not worthy of pity, even if there are indeed people who have the world in mind and are not selfish, but what they do is diametrically opposed to their aspirations.
Therefore, when another group of people appeared outside the Chengtian Gate, they were greeted by countless cold gazes.
"That's Zhang Laoju from Beicheng, right? Didn't he always shout something, Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness? Why haven't they ...... yet" In addition to Yang Tinghe, Xu Jin and other court officials, there are also many Confucians in the opposition, some of whom are martyrdom and admonish the Son of Heaven with death; Others do it to become famous; Some people are simply desperate.
These people have called themselves saints and disciples all their lives, and their fame and glory have come from this, and when they found out that Confucianism was about to be kicked down from the clouds and into the mortal world, the shock and despair in their hearts can be imagined. They have made their point their point in every possible way, and they do not accept the fact that suicide is only one of the more intense ones.
"At the time of the Spring and Autumn Period, or was it really like that, but since Zhu Cheng was beaten, the so-called Confucianism has long since changed its quality, sacrificing its life for righteousness? Hmph, what they advocate most is to fool others and let others die, the routine they get their name, the louder they scream, the less they will die, but those nerds, but a few of them are truly martyred......"
"No, most of the officials commit suicide in fear of crime, just with the things they do, even if they don't break it, they can't escape today after all."
"So what are they doing today? Demonstrate? Petition? Or is it a forgiveness? β
"Maybe it's some, I guess, they want the emperor's subordinates to show mercy and spare the lives of those people in the court, which can be regarded as a thought, in case they can make a comeback."
"It's beautiful to think about, but in the end, it's not to touch the nail? Although Hou Ye is benevolent, he has never been soft on bad people......"
The crowd parted on both sides, making way for these old and respected Confucians. In the past, such behavior must have been out of respect, but now, even if you can't feel the cold eyes and atmosphere of being subjected, those cynicism is enough to make these Confucian students understand their situation.
Finally, no one stood in the way, and they arrived at Chengtianmen...... Zhang Juren himself didn't expect that when he saw Chengtianmen, such a thought came to his heart.
It is true that the fame of lifting people is nothing in the capital, but if it is combined with the family background and identity, it is different. The Zhang family is a surname in the capital, and the private school in the family has many talents, but during the Hongzhi period, there have been more than a dozen Beijing officials, and the magistrates are countless.
No fame, no matter how high the prestige is, you can't enter the court as an official, even if you are reluctant to get out, your career will not be too smooth, but it is enough to grasp a certain amount of power through the influence brought by prestige, this medium is the capital Shilin.
Shilin influences public opinion in the capital, whether it is to launch a tide of speech or spread news, Shilin is the sharpest weapon, and Zhang Juren also plays an important role in it. In several waves of words against Zhengde and Xie Hong, he and his companions contributed to the trouble; In the war with Hou Defang and the roadside society, they also rushed to the forefront.
The many fiascos did not discourage his fighting spirit, but made him more combative, but he didn't expect that the situation changed so quickly, and between a few ups and downs, Rulin was on the verge of collapse.
Although the palace did not mean to kill everything, and even set aside another way for the Confucian scholars to become officials, Zhang Juren was unwilling. Compared to the scenery of the past, that path can be called a thorny path, full of risks and hardships, and it is not suitable for the disciples of the saints of elegance and elegance.
Therefore, he and those who have the same thoughts came, trying to use the last trace of influence to arouse the response of the people and even the world, so as to hold the last line of defense.
As a result, of course, he was disappointed, no one at all felt their grief and indignation, and in the eyes of the people, he could not even find mercy...... Without the education of the saints and the advocacy of benevolence and righteousness, it will really be a country without a country and a people without a people!
While crying out in his heart, he lifted the hem of his robe, looked north with a solemn face and knelt, and then slammed his head on the bluestone slab, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was already bruised, and behind him, a group of people, old and young, also made the same move...... "Bang! Boom! Boom! Silence quickly fell silent, and all that was still echoed was the sound of foreheads hitting the ground.
Some people feel shocked, some people feel compassion or sympathy, and some people feel disapproving, and their moods are different, but one thing is certain, everyone realizes that in the face of the change of times, Rulin is making the last effort.
