Chapter 16: Rebellion is justified

Cai Yan heard Dong Liang's unceremonious and very explicit words, and Cai Yan was immediately very angry. Because Dong Liang did this, he completely regarded Cai Yan as his own woman, and he didn't ask Cai Yan at all. And Cai Yan suddenly went crazy, because she is usually favored by others, how can she be so insulted? Dong Liang directly and unceremoniously stated that Cai Yan is his woman, and that profession is equivalent to telling everyone that if anyone dares to move Cai Yan, he will be his woman. And Cai Yan didn't have no suitors back then, but those who pursued them were all respectful, obviously afraid of abrupt beauties. But Dong Liang didn't do this, but told Cai Yan very unceremoniously that she had been completely possessed by herself, and she couldn't resist, so she had no other choice.

This made Cai Yan, who is Cai Yong's daughter and a talented woman, of course very angry. And she is usually pampered by others, but now that she is facing this kind of result, how can she stand it. So he threw the piano in his hand directly to the ground, obviously very angry.

"Oh, what a good piano this is, looking at the tail part is a little scorched, it should be the legendary scorched tail, right? If it is more than a thousand years later, it is definitely a first-class cultural relic, and countless people want to see it! Dong Liang said.

"Takeo, don't touch my things! You martial artists, arrogant and unreasonable, and have no regard for the rules of the court, are actually rude to me. How do you let the world's scholars look at it, a martial artist like you will never be able to ascend to the Hall of Elegance. The imperial court let you martial artists control it, it is really a misfortune for the country. Cai Yan said angrily.

Hearing Cai Yan's words, Dong Liang immediately replied: "Miss Cai, do you say that I am a martial artist and am not worthy of mastering the imperial court?" However, are you literati worthy of mastering the imperial court? How do you say that our martial artists controlled the imperial court, and it wasn't the opportunity you gave us? If you hadn't died by yourselves, we wouldn't have had a chance to control the court! ”

"You, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban thieves rebelling, where would you have the opportunity to be a martial artist! These Yellow Turban traitors are really damned! Cai Yan said angrily.

But Dong Liang also replied: "It's you who should be damned, you scholars who are studying." The people do not deserve to die, for you are the ones who have forced them to die. If it weren't for you, where would they be forced to rebel? ”

"Is there any justification for rebellion?" Cai Yan asked.

Dong Liang nodded and said, "That's right, the rebellion is really justified." Originally, everyone in the world lived and worked in peace and contentment, but if it weren't for the privileges that you scholars would continue to have, and then continue to seize people's land. Then there was also taking advantage of the famine years to force the people to borrow money by relying on the grain in their hands, and then let the people borrow a loan shark that would never be repaid, and finally they could only sell the land to your scholars in exchange for their livelihood, and they could only rely on renting the land that should belong to them, and then they worked hard for a year, and finally they were able to get less than half of the grain. And most of the grain has gone into the hands of you scholars who are not engaged in production, but you scholars are not sympathetic to the people, and when the imperial court raised taxes, in order to protect their own vested interests, these taxes were increased again on those poor people. You even continue to raise taxes and take advantage of the opportunity to collect more land rent. And during the famine years, not only did you not want the people of the system to open warehouses and release grain, but then you still took the opportunity to force people to borrow usury, is this what you call benevolence? Have you read all the books in the dog's belly? ”

"How is this possible? How could the scholars be like this, although my father had some land in his name, he would never abuse the tenants! Cai Yan was surprised.

But Dong Liang asked rhetorically: "Cai Yong, your personal discipline is good, it doesn't mean that all the scholars are okay?" I'm afraid that the vast majority of the nobles took the opportunity to annex land during the famine, as I said, and even took advantage of the power of officials to encroach on the land. ”

And Cai Yong's face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word. And Cai Yan, a talented woman, she doesn't have to personally care about the income in this kind of family, as well as the affairs of her tenants. And a talented woman like Cai Yan only needs to study those literature, music and other things well, and then exchange for the reputation of a talented girl, and then get more bargaining chips for her future marriage. It is even enough to please those in power with the help of so-called talents, and finally get some benefits. This kind of talented women, in fact, they have no ability to live at all, they don't have any ability to make a living at all, and like those princesses in the palace, once they leave the offerings, they can't survive at all. After all, how can the people care about the music, the literature, the people live on a daily meal, and they don't care about music at all. The research of later generations has also made it very clear that people must first care about material civilization, and material civilization is the foundation of spiritual civilization, and if there is no material civilization, then spiritual civilization will not exist. Cai Yan is also a good-looking vase for the amusement of those who are not short of material power.

"Father, is it true that all the clans in the world are like this?" Cai Yan asked.

Cai Yong couldn't say a word, and this Cai Yan immediately knew what was going on, and it was as Dong Liang said, few of the scholars were good things. If they are all pulled and cut off in a row, and all of them are beheaded, it will definitely be wronged. But if you randomly draw half of it and cut off your head, you will definitely miss a lot.

"Miss Cai, you scholars make a living by exploiting the people, but you have not produced any benefits. You live on the heads of the people and enjoy the support of the people's labor, but you are also a group of vampires. And the people provide for you so that you can create better conditions for their production, and then let them live a better life. It's like bees, although they collect nectar from the flowers, they also help the flowers to pollinate so that the flowers can reproduce better. But you people, not only do you not play the industrious and beneficial role of bees, but you are parasitic on the people more and more blood-sucking, and then you are still insatiable, and you need a bucket for a liter, and a bucket for a stone. And there are more and more of you, and the people are getting harder and harder. ”

"And the people were finally sucked by your blood and sucked into the point that there was no way to live, can't they resist? This is like robbery, if someone robs without restraint, don't you allow others to resist? ”

Listening to Dong Liang's questioning sentence by word, Cai Yan had nothing to say at all. What she usually learns is not at all, he is learning those poems and the like, but the things in these poems and texts are not able to explain what Dong Liang said in the innermost. And Cai Yan also had to agree with a sentence, if he was robbed, wouldn't others be allowed to resist? This certainly doesn't make sense.

"But there can be no rebellion! Can't you just sit down and talk slowly? It's negotiable! Cai Yan said with a little weakness.

Dong Liang immediately asked: "Miss Cai, you see that you are so sloppy, obviously you don't quite approve of this method, right?" Discuss and solve, you ask those dogs who are used to eating to give up eating, do you think you can do it? Who will say two words for the people, will you warriors betray the group of scholars, and then go and speak for the people? Do you think it's possible? Ordinary poor people have no one to be officials, so naturally no one can speak for them, and then you will use the public power in your hands to exploit the people. And the people have no channel to fight for their rights and interests, so they can only endure silently. And then until one day they can't survive, they can only make their voice heard in this world through the guò uprising. But if you weren't so greedy, if you weren't so greedy and didn't take advantage of the people and give them a way out, then why would they rebel? ”

"Therefore, it is justified for the people to rebel, and it is all persecuted by you. If it weren't for your exploitation, without the public power in the hands of you so-called nobles, and the unbridled exploitation of the common people by the land, where would they have thought of rebellion? Although Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao rebelled this time, this is just an appearance. Even if there is no horn, there will be Wang Jiao and Li Jiao. And this qiē is all the unrestrained exploitation of you scholars, and finally forced the people to rise up and fight for their own rights and interests. So you say that rebellion is not justified, if others do not live with you, then you naturally have to fight with them. If you are so, why can't the people fight for their right to live when they can't survive? Could it be that ordinary people are born untouchables and should wait for death? ”

Cai Yan couldn't come up with any reason to refute Dong Liang at all, because what Dong Liang said was what she didn't know in the past. In the past, under the teaching of her father Cai Yong, she was carefree, and obviously lived a very leisurely life. But now that he heard Dong Liang's theory of rebellion and reasonableness, it all made Cai Yan feel incredible. In the past, Cai Yan always accepted the idea that rebellion was a big rebellion, but now Dong Liang's words openly said that rebellion was justified, which made Cai Yan feel afraid. If this is really the case, and the rebellion is justified, then won't the world be in chaos?

But Dong Liang, as a later generation, of course he thinks that the rebellion is justified. After all, he had received those revolutionary educations, so he naturally knew that the rebellion was justified, and the revolution was not guilty of rebellion and justified, and it was very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in later generations. So of course Dong Liang would think so, of course he knew that if the people couldn't survive, they would naturally be qualified to rebel. But for the ancients, it was simply unthinkable. Therefore, Dong Liang's words suddenly subverted Cai Yan's thoughts for many years, making Cai Yan almost faint.
