The scholars began to recite again, their voices calm and unmoved, untouched by the music:
Syllable!
Tang opened the heavens, the magnificent sun and the moon-
Syllable!
Song is named in literature, and Jinglun is in history.
Syllable!
Yuan Hu Fang Zhang, destroy my Taoism -
Syllable!
Ming Qi is peaceful, defend my Han Zuoxi-
The voices of the scholars after that quickened, and they sang in unison in a very short, fierce, and rapid voice:
The first emperor is benevolent, and even picks up the beam!
Wei Gelding uses things, and there will always be confusion between yin and yang!
Annihilate my Jishi, although there is Donglin suffering!
The court is overturned, and there is chaos in my discipline!
With the loud roar of the cannons, and as the music gradually became more and more excited, they shouted loudly in the most determined, decisive, and unstoppable tone:
There are my seeds to help the people, and Aneng Rener is arrogant;
There are my seeds to help the people, how to wait for Ren Er to jump off the beam;
There are my seeds to help the people, and Aneng Rener and other arrogant;
Finally, they swore vigorously:
The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, the ancestors bless me, the vicissitudes of history,
Report to our emperor, comfort the loyal and good, the good and the evil are different, and swear to die with you!
Good and evil are not separated, and they will die with you!
Good and evil are not separated, and they will die with you!
Good and evil are not separated, and they will die with you!
Syllable!
They repeated the oath three times in a row, and with all their strength, they recited it three times in a row, and this last trumpet was like the sound of the hammer when making gongs and drums, which finalized all the oaths in one fell swoop, and also shocked the vicissitudes of eternity.
No one speaks, no one dares to speak.
They didn't dare to ruin this scene, they only dared to quietly bow their heads and savor the unprecedented pomp and circumstance just now.
Liu Ruyi gently wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, but found that the handkerchief was soaked.
After a long time, Gongzi finally spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Songjiang Liu Boyang, hello to you!" Some people may wonder why we have a conference here in Tiger Hill and spend so much energy and time on these things. ”
No one dared to come out to answer him, and they all knew that Liu Gongzi was asking and answering himself.
"Actually, the purpose of our coming today is very simple, we don't plan to demolish the Wei Eunuch Ancestral Hall today - it is very simple to demolish the ancestral hall on the ground, but it is difficult to demolish the ancestral hall in people's hearts."
"We are here today just to pay tribute to five heroic and unyielding, loyal and loving folk heroes, they are called Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, and Zhou Wenyuan."
Liu Xu slowly said these five names, and Liu Ruyi saw that many Suzhou scholars were stunned for a moment, and then silently shed tears.
Yes, they still remember their heroes, but they just buried them on the embankment of the Shantang River in front of Tiger Hill, and Liu Gongzi came from afar to hold a sacrifice for them.
"Zhou Gong Shunchang is an official and upright, although he is a high-ranking official, but his family is surrounded by four walls, there is no overnight food at home, there is no heirloom wealth, and he often seeks justice for ordinary people at home, and coordinates matters for the local gentry. And it was such a good official, a Qing official, Qingtian, but because of his righteous insistence, he offended Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs, and was sent by the eunuchs to arrest him, and he was taken to Beijing to be executed! ”
"At this time, at this time when all the horses are together, when the high-ranking officials and bigwigs are silent, when everyone does not dare to offend Wei Yan's power, justice is gone, righteousness is hidden, loyal and righteous people are persecuted, and shameless villains are rampant! Let's look at this day, it's getting dark! Liu Xu stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky, and everyone followed him to look at the sky, the sun was gradually setting, and it was almost dark!
"So, justice doesn't exist? Is there no one who has righteousness, righteousness, and righteousness? I'll tell you, no! No matter how dark the times are, no matter how bad the environment is, no matter how raging the storm, there will always be that stubborn flower that can grow, and there will always be this seabird who can ride the wind and waves, and their name is called people's hearts and justice! Now, please follow me through the names of these heroes. Liu Xu was condescending, looked directly at everyone, and said word by word the names and surnames that were heavier than Qianjun:
"Yan Peiwei!"
"Yan Peiwei!"
"Yang Nianru!"
"Yang Nianru!"
"Ma Jie!"
"Ma Jie!"
"Shen Yang!"
"Shen Yang!"
"Zhou Wenyuan!"
"Zhou Wenyuan!"
Liu Xu recited a name, and everyone followed along, they didn't need guidance, and they didn't need to ask for help, they were guided by Liu Xu spontaneously and voluntarily to pay tribute to their heroes.
"Some people say that this is to help the small people, to help the people who can't study, to help the chaotic people, they die well, and it is good for the country to die! I want to say to them, fuck you! ”
"The Mean" cloud, the righteous, should also. Mencius Yun, righteousness, the right path of man. I don't say so much crepe, what is righteousness? It is righteousness to benefit the country and the people, it is righteousness to dare to fight against traitors, and it is righteousness to dare to defend justice! In this way, these five small people, these five peddlers and pawns, they are more righteous than the adults and gentlemen in the court, they are the real righteousness! ”
"We Jimin Society respect Confucius and Mencius, we are the true Confucians, they are all pseudo-Confucians, demon Confucians! What we have to do is to take back the right to interpret the Four Books and the Five Classics from the hands of those demons and pseudo-Confucians! Any reader has the right to interpret the Four Books and the Five Classics, what they say may not be right, what we say may not be wrong! And these five people, they don't study, but they really do righteousness, isn't this the best proof? ”
"Five heroes are dead, one step ahead of us, but all mortals have one death, either lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai! They are dead, but we at the Jimin Society will take over their banner, continue to fight against the eunuchs, and continue to fight them to the end! I, Liu Xu, swear here, this year, if Wei Zhongxian does not die before October this year, I will lead people to the north to fight the eunuchs to the death, and I will never escape! In October this year, either Lord Chongzhen will execute Wei Zhongxian, or I will die in Jingshi! In this world, there is Liu Xu who died for righteousness, and there is no Liu Boyang who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
"Now, it's time to sacrifice heroes, please sing with me, the soul returns, the soul returns!"
There is no need for leadership, there is no need for agitation, all people, men and women, old and children, rich and poor, they chant together, pray together, mourn together, they are cowardly, because they once allowed their five heroes to die, but they are brave at the same time, because they dare to face their cowardice, dare to untie their bloody chests, cut out their hearts, put them on the table, and look at each other bravely!
Liu Ruyi stood in the crowd, silent, he used to have a lot of doubts when he was studying, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the hundred officials are herdsmen on behalf of the heavens, but this day should be the most merciful and beloved, how can this emperor be allowed to be deaf and lewd. Chaos, this hundred officials are corrupt? He originally intended to explore the relationship between the two, but was told by his husband that this thing was never tested in the imperial examination, and the imperial examination was for the eight-share Shiwen, which was a starting stock and a share of shares, and there was absolutely no room for his heretical doctrine to survive.
And today, he seems to have found the answer.
If the heavens are not benevolent, I will act on behalf of the heavens, and if the emperor and the officials are unjust, I will do this glorious righteousness on your behalf.
"Liu Xu, Liu Xu, I'm following you, I'm afraid I can really see everyone fed and clothed!" Liu Ruyi's eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were full of hope.
