As if some kind of mechanism had been activated, the peasants who had received the order immediately carried out demolition activities according to the pre-assigned area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Because anything they grabbed belonged to them, their morale was high and they moved quickly, completing most of the destruction before the servants of the Liu family moved the statue of Wei Zhongxian out of the Dacheng Palace.

Some peasants even started small-scale fights because of the unclear division of the area between them - in order to prevent the guards of the ancestral hall and facilitate the smashing, Liu Xu specially allowed them to bring kitchen knives, flat poles, axes and other tools, and these tools actually fell on his own people after greeting the ancestral hall building, which he did not expect.

In this way, in the labor slogans of the peasants one after another, in the cheers of the discovery of property, in the stirring words of the literati pointing out the country, and in the cries of the old craftsmen who were becoming weaker, the Wei Zhongxian Ancestral Hall, which used to be located in the north of Jiading City, was completely turned into a pile of ashes.

"Is this true of the several large-scale destruction of monuments in China's history? Led by a group of literati with their own political aims, executed by a group of illiterate peasants who do not know the artistic value of what they are destroying, and by a group of artists who know the value but cannot make any resistance, some pretend to be deaf and dumb, some are rarely confused, and some are high-spirited, turning artistic crystallization into ashes in clever words and various slogans? Liu Xu suddenly thought of this question, but he didn't think about it deeply, because he still had this more important thing to do.

Liu Xu took the megaphone handed by Zhou Jun, walked to the high platform in front of the main hall, and followed by Zhou Jun, Liu Ruyi, Li Fengtian, Su He, Wang Zhen, and Xu Fuyuan. Although this high platform is made of white marble, it is too big and too hard, so no one attacked it, and luckily left a whole corpse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have come together for a common purpose!" Liu Xu's voice became even louder after being transmitted by the loudspeaker, and after the tempering of the past few days, he was even more familiar with speaking in public, without any delay and hesitation.

"Can anyone tell me why we're here?"

In the days before, he had succeeded in establishing his prestige, and the idea of the "village council" had been adopted as a model by the no-brainer of the scholars, who responded enthusiastically to their nominal leader:

"Defeat Wei Gelding and defend my righteous path!"

"Country council, scholars rule the country!"

"Crack down on the imperial examination and eliminate pseudo-science!"

Their answers are different, but they are all thoughts that Liu Xu has been trying his best to inculcate, and there is no murmur, and it is obvious that ideological brainwashing has imperceptibly shown results. Liu Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone is right, but they are all appearances, they are all skins, and we have a nobler, greater, and more important purpose, and it is this purpose that drives scholars from all over Songjiang, all over Jiangnan, and even all over the country to come here!" ”

He looked around, his expression full of confidence, his head held high, his eyes sharp and majestic, at this moment, he was the only master of this space and time, his will, his ideas would be thoroughly implemented.

He paused for enough time for these scholars to reflect on what they had done and look forward to a better life in the future, but not enough for them to think comprehensively and deeply question Liu Xu's theory.

"We came here today, not for personal fame and fortune, not for the revenge of the gentlemen of Donglin, not for opposing Wei Eunuch, we are here today, for-" He paused again, looked at the puzzled students in the audience, and said loudly: "It is to promote the righteous path of Confucius and Mencius!" ”

"So, what is the right path of Confucius and Mencius?" He did not pause at this time, but quickly expanded his own exposition: "The righteous path of Confucius and Mencius is that all those who read and I am a member of the Jimin Society have the right to discuss the essence of the sage, and others may speak better than you, but they have no right to prevent you from expressing your own opinions!" The right way of Confucius and Mencius is to govern the country by Confucianism, that is, Confucianism and the great emperor share the world, and the imperial examination is one way, but it is definitely not the only way. If you can't pass the exam, isn't it a Confucian student? If you can't pass the Jinshi exam, isn't you a Confucian student? I'll tell you, absolutely not! All Confucian scholars and disciples of Confucius have the right to establish a 'village council', that is, they have the right to "represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven!" Whoever obstructs you will be a demon and a confucian, who will obstruct the way of 600,000 people in my Ming Dynasty, and who will corrupt my Confucian Taoism! The right path of Confucius and Mencius is to promote the right way, reject the law, pursue benevolence and righteousness, and oppose demons and thieves! ”

Liu Xu took a breath of change here, he saw that many students showed a look of sudden realization, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and continued: "Our students have endured it for too long, and we have endured too much unequal treatment!" Since childhood, we have to be enlightened and read, others play, we read, others go green, we read, others eat and drink spicy, we read, others rely on red and green, we read, this family is rich, and the brothers in the poor family are supported by generations of hard work, not only we are bitter, our father, our mother, our clansmen are all bitter - and we have studied hard for more than ten years, more than 20 years, more than 30 years, just because we have not taken the imperial examination, just because the paper does not meet the examiner's wishes, If the current text does not conform to the prevailing paradigm, we will not be able to be officials and protect the people - you tell me, is that right? Is this reasonable? Is this what Confucius and Mencius intended? ”

"No, no, no!"

"No, no, no!"

The emotions of the scholars were detonated, many of them were no longer young, and the years had carved deep marks on their foreheads and faces, but they had no chance to be officials, and could only watch their best years flow with the water, and their hard work was not rewarded.

is also a scholar, the same scholar, some lucky squeezed across the single-plank bridge, passed the imperial examination, and became a lifter, a jinshi, but he has to live downward, suffer from poverty, and endure the white eyes and abuse of the academic and political instructors in the school palace, where is this fair?

It is said that "the academic field Mo paper", those who can pass the exam may not be those who are knowledgeable, and those who fail the exam may not be incapable, but the imperial court can only get such an examination plan and social mobility plan at present. However, the Ming Dynasty had 600,000 students, and less than 300 scholars were recruited every three years, and the huge demand for official positions could not be satisfied by the supply of scarce administrative positions, and contradictions arose.

If you can take a step to the sky, you can't sink into your life, and luck is the biggest determining factor, who wants to endure such a social design?

Originally, these students endured because they still had some small privileges in the local area, but when this powder magazine was completely detonated by Liu Xu's incendiary remarks, this long-suppressed pressure completely exploded, like a hidden dragon out of the abyss, like a mountain in the sky, rushing for thousands of miles and irrepressible!

Liu Xu knew that the time had come, and began to ask questions continuously: "Everyone answers me a few questions, these questions will determine our future, everyone must be cautious!" As soon as these words came out, the stalwarts hidden in the crowd immediately understood that the decisive moment had come and prepared one after another.

They hide in the crowd like venomed pit vipers, ready to shoot their vicious juices and steer the conversation.

"Come, tell me, who are we?"

"Confucian disciple, Confucian disciple!"

"What is our destiny?"

"On behalf of the herdsmen, the prime minister's side!"

"Then why don't we have any official positions now?"

"The court doesn't give it, the court doesn't give it!"

"What should I do if the court doesn't give it?"

"Look for him, ask for him!"

"How?"

"Country council, country council!"

"Are you willing to follow me, come with me, and go to the court officials?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Very good, since you brothers can afford to be someone in my Liu, then I will be cheeky to take over this responsibility! From now on, the brothers and sisters present are all members of my Jimin Society, everyone takes care of each other, cares for each other, and will definitely fight against this world to the end, and fight for our students! ”

"Come, let's use this statue of Wei Zhongxian as a sacrifice to commemorate our Confucius and Mencius righteousness!" Liu Xu waved his hand, Liu Ruyi and Li Fengtian took a few strong servants to carry the statue to the platform, and threw it to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The sound was like a wooden ring, symbolizing the complete rise of a new force.

"Wei Eunuch is a disaster to the country, his crime should be punished, at the moment, we haven't hit the Jingshi, let's leave him a dog for the time being, but we can't keep his statue! Today, I will swing the first axe and completely draw a line with the evil forces, and we will declare war on them! ”

Liu Xu held the axe in both hands, and he held the handle of the birch axe so tightly that his bones rattled and the skin on his hands oozed fine droplets of sweat.

The whole space seemed to freeze, everyone didn't dare to breathe, they were waiting, waiting for this turning point in history, waiting for an earth-shattering loud noise.

"Jimin members, Jingwei heaven and earth, on behalf of the herdsmen, Hongde is an achievement!" Liu Xu recited the program of the Jimin Society aloud, and with a loud wave of his hands—with a loud bang, Wei Zhongxian's carefully decorated statue turned in half along with the blade of the axe made of steel, and the gold, silver, and jewels in his stomach that were used to act as internal organs were all spilled, and the kinetic energy fell under the high platform with a clanging sound.

No one dared to pick it up, they just looked at Liu Xu and waited for their leader to give instructions.

"I don't want the things on the ground, I will send them to everyone after the unified exchange, and the rest will buy rice and noodles and send them to the people of Jiading! What are we? We are Jimin Society! What is our slogan, and who will tell me? Liu Xu held the axe in his left hand, raised his right arm high above his head, and looked at the creatures in the audience with burning eyes.

"Jimin members, Jingwei heaven and earth, on behalf of the herdsmen, Hongde is an achievement!"

"Jimin members, Jingwei heaven and earth, on behalf of the herdsmen, Hongde is an achievement!"

"Jimin members, Jingwei heaven and earth, on behalf of the herdsmen, Hongde is an achievement!"

The students had feverish eyes and raised their right arms like a forest.

And the woods at the moment are about to sweep the world with the storm of ideological reform, and in an instant, the woods at this moment will become boundless forests.

Liu Xu clasped his hands tightly, looked at the sky, and his chest was full of pride.

Heaven and earth are chess, and the universe is the spectrum of mountains and rivers, and he Liu Xu will officially become a chess player from today!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I, Liu Xu, are here!
