61. The battle of dignity
Li Shimin soon left with a dark face, while Zhang Chao sat in place with a flat face. Li Shimin didn't plan to stand up for the scholars this time, so Zhang Chao didn't worry about anything. Next, he must clean up that large number of officials of the noble clan, and he must use this outgoing audit to clean out those noble officials, so that he can be stable. And as long as Li Shimin doesn't come out to stop it, Zhang Chao is confident that with Li Yuan's support, he will defeat these officials of the scholar clan and make them feel the blow to the head. However, Liu Renliang next to him was surprised, because Zhang Chao just said something, which made Li Shimin stop supporting the Shi clan, which made Liu Renliang feel very surprised.
"Zhang Yushi, how did you get the King of Qin to give up supporting the Shi clan?" Liu Renliang asked.
Zhang Chao replied: "I just told him the real situation of a scholar clan, because those scholars don't treat us as human beings at all." In our eyes, we, the children of the poor family, are no longer a person to them and a clan, and we are no different from dogs. In the eyes of the scholars, especially the high-ranking scholars, we are just a dog, that is, animals. So, I made King Qin understand that the scholars treat us like dogs, so why should we go out of our way to please them? ”
"What? The gentry actually treated us like dogs? This can't be, right? Liu Renliang immediately asked.
Liu Renliang felt incredible, because he didn't expect that in Zhang Chao's mouth, the Shi clan would actually treat these poor children of his family as a dog. They are all human beings, so how can they treat the children of the poor as a dog?
Zhang Chao replied affirmatively: "Yes, in the eyes of the scholars, especially in the eyes of those top scholars, we are just a dog, at most better than dogs." Therefore, it was precisely because I told him about this situation that King Qin chose to give up the idea of supporting the Shi clan and gave up his illusion about the Shi clan. ”
"Why do the Monks treat us like dogs? How can this be explained? Liu Renliang asked.
Zhang Chao didn't answer directly, but just asked: "Liu Renliang, will you marry your daughter to a dog, or let your son marry a dog?" ”
"How is this possible? We are human beings, how can we be married to a dog? Liu Renliang immediately replied.
And Zhang Chao then asked: "Then what if the other party is the king of dogs, the king of dogs?" ”
"It's impossible, even if it's the king of dogs, I won't marry my daughter to a dog, let alone let my son marry a dog. Isn't this ridiculous? Liu Renliang said angrily.
However, Zhang Chao was still stimulating him, and then said: "Liu Renliang, if you are very poor one day, you have no money, no official position, and no income. There is a dog king who said that he is willing to marry your daughter, and then give you and your daughter and your family hope to live, do you say that you are willing to agree? After all, as long as you marry the Dog King, you can all survive! How good is this, and what could be more important than the continuation of the family? ”
"No way, I wouldn't do it even if my whole family starved to death. How could I, as a human being, do such a thing? I also have the dignity to be a human being, I can't let my daughter marry a dog! Even if my whole family starves to death, even if I am completely wiped out, I am not allowed to be a person who is inferior to a dog. If I let the people of the Liu family have the blood of dogs, then I would rather our Liu family be the last. I'd rather perish my whole family than lose our dignity as a human being. Liu Renliang said angrily.
Zhang Chao finally nodded and said, "Yes, we human beings cannot lose our dignity as human beings in front of animals. No matter how poor and difficult we are, then we are all alone. Naturally, we, as human beings, cannot pray to a dog for life. Even if we die, we can't be inferior to a dog. And if you think about it, isn't the attitude of the scholars towards us poor children the same as the attitude of us humans towards dogs? If you think about it carefully, do the scholars treat us poor children like this? ”
"Hmm......" Liu Renliang suddenly had nothing to say, because the thinking and attitude of the scholars towards the Hanmen is similar to the attitude of humans towards dogs!
The scholars are reluctant to marry with the Hanmen, they are only willing to marry within the clan, because in this way they want to maintain their noble bloodline. And Zhang Chao came to this world and deeply realized that the pride of this kind of scholar clan does not lie in any status and noble status. In their eyes, even if the children of the poor family can become officials, even if they can become rich, or even if they can become emperors, in their eyes, they will not cooperate with their noble blood marriage. Although China has also had a tradition of matching the door to the door since ancient times, the thinking of the scholars is no longer an ordinary match, and it is more excessive than the ordinary match.
In the eyes of the scholars, the son of the Han family is actually a beast, a dog. Even if a son of a poor family becomes an official, or even if he becomes the king of a country, he is at best just a "king of dogs". And even if the daughter of the scholar clan is poor, no matter how difficult it is, even if he does not have any funds and official positions, he is not willing to marry his daughter to a poor official or even an emperor. This is the so-called "dignity" in their hearts, they think that their own is noble, and their bloodline is countless times more noble than those poor children. In their eyes, the son of the poor is nothing more than a lowly creature, a lowly creature, not even a "human being" in their eyes. The "humans" in the eyes of the scholars and the "humans" in the eyes of ordinary people are not the same kind of creatures, so this has caused their different outlooks on life, worldviews, and values.
Just like human beings, no matter how difficult they are, they can no longer survive, the vast majority of human beings have the dignity of being human beings, and few can choose to marry their daughters to a dog in exchange for life. Since human beings have evolved and have human nature, they will not be willing to be beasts. Human beings have human dignity, and the vast majority of people would rather die than be animals. So even if it's a difficult time, he doesn't want to marry his daughter to a dog, even if the other party is the king of dogs.
This kind of thinking of the scholar clan is no longer a good person who can explain it clearly, even if it is because the family is right, that family still has the opportunity to work hard and then become the upper class of society and gain the respect of others. But in the eyes of the scholars, no matter how high the achievements of the children of the Han family are, they are just a dog who becomes the king of dogs, and in the end they are still a dog, not a human. How could those nobles who considered themselves "humans" marry their daughters to a dog? Even if the other party is a dog king, it is no exception. People are people, how can they marry dogs, and it is impossible to confuse humans and dogs. So this is what those so-called scholars think in their bones, although they don't want to admit it publicly, but they also think so in their hearts and subconsciously.
However, this kind of obviously human beings, those scholars have this extremely perverted idea. They think they are noble, and they don't see the children of the poor as a person. This kind of thinking is already very perverted, this kind of thinking is not to think that ordinary people are different, not to think that there is a difference in identity and status, but to think that the children of the poor family are not human beings in their eyes at all. If it is a high level of talent, then you can study hard to make up for it. If it's a matter of wealth, it's a matter of making money. Even if the official position is not as good as theirs, then they can become officials through hard work, and even become high-ranking officials by various means. But the psychology of those scholars is perverted, they think they are noble, and the children of the poor are all beasts. So no matter how down-and-out he is, he will not be willing to marry a beast. This is the so-called "dignity" of the Shi clan, and their dignity is based on the condition of deliberately insulting and belittling or even treating the children of the poor as animals, so this is simply a perversion.
When Liu Renliang heard this, his teeth bit his lips, and his hands were constantly shaking. Because he was finally under Zhang Chao's guidance, he understood the attitude of the scholars towards the Hanmen. The attitude of the scholars towards the cold door turned out to be such an attitude, and in the eyes of the scholars, the cold door is also a dog! In the eyes of the scholars, the children of the poor are not worthy of being a person, at least in their eyes, there is no difference between these children of the poor and dogs, at most they are just "high-level animals" that are a little taller than dogs. As a human being, how can you allow others to treat yourself as an animal, even if it is a high-level animal. Being a man also has the pride and dignity of being a man, which is inherited from the bones, even Liu Renliang.
"Liu Renliang, you know, right? I am such a lowly thing in the eyes of the scholars, and in their eyes our blood is all dirty and lowly. Even we are lowly creatures, not human. Therefore, these pathetic and ridiculous self-esteem of theirs make them rather have their whole family destroyed and die of poverty than let their daughter marry a dog, or let their son marry a dog. In their eyes, we are actually a dog, a beast. Between us and them, it's not a question of the hierarchy, it's a question of the kind of creatures. The problem is easy to solve, and it can be solved, as long as you work hard. However, when it comes to species, then we have nothing to reconcile. Because they don't think of us as human anymore, what else can we do to reconcile with them? So, do we still have to be friendly with them and live with them? This kind of hatred is not shared with God! Zhang Chao said.
Zhang Chao came to this world and finally realized the so-called pride of the scholars in this world for the bones of the Hanmen. The pride in their hearts does not come from their official position and wealth, but from their "blood". And in their eyes, their bloodline is one living thing, and the children of the Han Sect are another kind of living thing. The scholars are "humans", and the Hanmen are "beasts", so this is the way they look down on the Hanmen. No matter how high the achievements of the poor family are, they are just the king of beasts, and they are still beasts.
This kind of thinking is simply more terrible than those rich people in later generations who look down on the poor. Although marriage is often a matter of being the right person, in the eyes of the scholars, it is no longer a matter of the right family, but a problem that species cannot marry casually, just like the thinking that humans and animals cannot get married. The right person only pays attention to the family, and pays attention to the identity of himself and his family. But when it comes to species, I'm afraid no woman wants to marry a dog, even if he's poor.
Zhang Chao has been in this world for less than a year, and he knows that he will not be able to really get together with the Shi clan in this life. Zhang Chao is an upright person in later generations, and he also has his own dignity as a human being, and no one can trample on it. But when he came to this world, he actually found that this scholar clan of the Tang Dynasty actually looked at the poor people like this, and the cold people in their eyes were just beasts. Zhang Chao really didn't understand how their kind of thinking existed, and they actually regarded ordinary people as animals. How did the so-called nobility in their bones come about?
How did this kind of nobility come about, Zhang Chao didn't have a specific idea. But Zhang Chao knew that Zhang Chao himself would never die with the scholar clan in his life. Because the scholars do not treat him as a human being, then he is destined to die in order to maintain his dignity as a human being. Although Zhang Chao doesn't like to cause trouble, he is a person with dignity, and not everyone can treat him like a dog. The scholars treated them as a dog, and there was no need for the supernatural to come together with them, it was necessary to die endlessly. This kind of struggle can only be ended when one side completely disappears.
Zhang Chao really doesn't know how those who traveled to the Tang Dynasty survived. As a later generation, in the era when everyone was equal, how could he live in peace in the Tang Dynasty, a scholarly clan, without thinking of carrying out a "revolution"? Although later generations have been oppressed by some privileged classes, even if everyone is not the same class, even if you are a ruled, but those rulers at least treat you as a human being. Even if you are ruled, you should be treated as a human being, not as a beast. But the scholars in this world are different, and the scholars of this era really treat people as animals in their bones, at most they are higher than animals. This is already beyond the so-called class ideology, but has become a complete and out-and-out ideological distinction of species.
So Zhang Chao has decided that in order to maintain his dignity as a human being, he will never allow others to treat him as a dog. Those who so-called traveled to the Tang Dynasty and then hoped to live a messy life, Zhang Chao also expressed some incredibleness to them. Because they were able to survive in this world without any scruples, they were treated as dogs by the scholars, and they still didn't want to resist it. Where has their dignity gone, and in the world where they are respected by others and can treat each other as equals, can they accept the consequences of being treated as animals? If they can accept this result, Zhang Chao is really very suspicious of how failed the education of those later generations is, and actually transfers people. The church has become a slave one by one.
Zhang Chao doesn't think that he can be like the kind of time-traveler in the novel, live a peaceful and stable life, and take the initiative to live a good life as a dog in the eyes of the scholars, at most he is just a dog king. Since people treat themselves as dogs, Zhang Chao will not treat them as human beings. This kind of thing is already an endless thing, so Zhang Chao will not let go of those scholars, and he will do his best to complete this "revolution" to overthrow the scholars. No one who has been educated in the dignity of the afterlife will allow himself to be treated like a dog. Since the scholars regard themselves as a dog and a brute, there is no need to live under this sky with them, and this is also a hatred against the sky.
When Liu Renliang heard this, he immediately took the initiative to say: "Zhang Yushi, I really listen to what you say now, and it is better to read for ten years." If it weren't for your words, I wouldn't know what we, the children of the poor family, would be in the eyes of the scholars. In the past, I thought we were just fighting over the family, but now we don't. We are fighting against the warriors for our dignity as human beings, and this is an endless battle. If they don't think of us as human beings, why should we wag our tails under them and beg for mercy? Since they look down on us in their bones and treat us as high-level beasts, are we willing to degenerate into a beast? In this case, then we also have to show them that we are also dignified, not a brute. ”
"We have to bury these warriors completely, otherwise we will not be able to survive in peace. These nobles treat us like beasts, so we don't need to be with them. Since they are so arrogant and arrogant, then we will let them die with arrogance and arrogance! ”
Liu Renliang's eyes were red and bloodshot. Liu Renliang was not so firm at this moment, he only thought that the battle between the Shi clan and the Hanmen was a battle between the clans. But now he finally knows that this is not a struggle between clans, nor is it a struggle for power and wealth and status, in fact, this is actually a human dignity. As a human being, you cannot live without dignity. Anyone who doesn't see himself as a human being doesn't need to see them as human beings. Respect, that's for each other, since they treat themselves as beasts, then they will never die with them.
At this moment, Liu Renliang was extremely determined, and he knew that he had to fight with the Shi clan. Liu Renliang is also a person, a person who has read books, and naturally knows the importance of the word dignity. Humans can only surrender to humans, but they can never surrender to animals. These scholars regard themselves as beasts in their bones, so there is no need for them to treat them as human beings. Only by completely shattering their pride and arrogance and making them completely become lowly "beasts" can they truly treat each other as equals. Since they regard the children of the poor family as beasts, let them try to be a "beast" in the future, to see if they can still be arrogant.
Zhang Chao saw that Liu Renliang was so excited, and his heart began to be happy. Because these factions of these poor people are not very stable in the first place, they are all ordinary political factions that are combined for official positions, for the so-called wealth and glory, and for the glory of the ancestors, and they are not very cohesive factions. And now Zhang Chao told them the thoughts of those scholars on how they treated the children of the Han family, so that they would definitely fight with the scholars desperately. Because although they are poor, it does not mean that they are willing to be treated as a dog by others, and they all have the dignity of being a human being. Therefore, for the sake of human dignity, they will inevitably fight with the scholars. This has nothing to do with wealth, nothing about official positions, and nothing about glorifying ancestors, if a person can't even be a person, then what qualifications does he have to glorify his ancestors?
Therefore, Zhang Chao also hopes to attract poor talents to join him through this method, so that those poor children know how the scholars see themselves in their eyes. If the scholars don't change their attitude towards the children of the Han family, the Shi clan will inevitably force countless children of the Han family to their own place, because you don't treat others as human beings, this is a great insult. Not everyone is willing to be a dog for others, since others don't treat themselves as people, is it necessary for them to surrender to them? At that time, their choice must be to fight with each other. Those intellectuals, in particular, will never allow others to treat themselves like dogs.
When a person has no worries about food and clothing, that is, he hopes to gain the respect of others. And a famous saying in later generations, "It's better to die than to be free" is a very famous saying. This speaks volumes about the importance of dignity, especially for those who are cultured, and few people want to be treated like dogs.
Therefore, Zhang Chao knew that as long as those who understood the attitude of the Shi clan towards the cold family, they would choose to cooperate with him and join his own team to fight against the Shi clan. As long as they all understand this truth, they will choose to fight hard with the Heshi clan. As long as the children of the poor families in the world are united, then they will definitely be able to completely defeat the scholars, and then they will be able to achieve true equality. Otherwise, if the so-called class of scholars and these perverted ideas are completely eliminated, then it is impossible for any child of a poor family to truly become a "person".
"Okay, tomorrow, I'm going to teach them a hard lesson, and let them know that we poor children are not easy to mess with. This time, we are fighting for human dignity, so we will never compromise. Zhang Chao said.
