The merchants are united, and the power is indeed very strong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just like now, the big businessmen and local snakes in Guanzhong, such as the Tian family, the Yang family, the Wuyan family, the Wang family and other families, have an attack.

All kinds of greetings are constantly sent out, and people from all walks of life take carriages and continue to visit famous places.

In addition, the rangers in the market also moved, spreading rumors everywhere that 'the Son of Heaven is newly repairing Chang'an, and he wants to tax 20,000 yuan from households'.

In the world of public opinion, the giants of Confucianism, in the face of the demands of the financiers, also stood up one after another, shouting 'not to compete with the people for profit'.

Dong Zhongshu even published an impassioned and eloquent article.

In just a few days, this article titled "The Book of Great Righteousness" spread throughout Chang'an Shilin.

And Liu Che quickly got the article.

"Dong Zi's article is really well written!" After Liu Che read this article, he also had to praise it.

When it comes to the brilliance of the essay and the beauty of the text, there is hardly anyone in the world who is the opponent of Confucianism.

After all, to be able to compete with Confucianism in the article.

In the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were only a few people.

Like Han Feizi, who can overwhelm Confucianism in words and literature, he may not be able to see one in a hundred years.

And Dong Zhongshu's literary level and ability to write articles are the top level in the history of Chinese literature!

But......

Looking at this gorgeous article, Liu Che sighed: "No wonder later generations say: the more knowledge, the more reactionary ......"

But Liu Che was not angry.

On the contrary, he was pleased.

He even asked Shang Shulang to frame the article.

Because, in addition to the beautiful and breathtaking words of Dong Zhongshu's article, there is also a deep humanism, that is, feelings, in the text.

This article, Liu Che knows, it is destined to be passed down through the ages.

It's like Wang Luobin's battle note against Wu Zetian.

Relying on banning and erasing cannot be erased.

Moreover, in fact, it is impossible for Liu Che to ban it and erase it.

Freedom of speech!

Moreover, Liu Che's original intention and heart also hope to see another hundred schools of thought contending.

Since it is a hundred schools of thought, then someone is allowed to speak, and someone is allowed to make a big noise - even if his position is wrong.

Moreover, the alliance between academia and business revealed by this incident made Liu Che actually like it.

Even, Liu Che felt that this was right.

In fact, Liu Che doesn't like the kind of virtuous people who hide their heights and don't eat the fireworks of the world.

Because these people are only immersed in their own world, and do not think about the real world.

But all philosophy and political science must ultimately serve the world and the country.

Just like today's old-fashioned Huang thought, why is it declining?

It's not just a bunch of people who think about cultivating immortals every day, staying at home, hoping to be feathered, not asking about world affairs, and not getting involved in politics.

In doing so, they were quiet, but the whole school was declining.

So much so that now, there is only one Ji Di who can support the façade.

Even, there are a large number of rising stars who have been abducted by the miscellaneous family and the Xunzi school......

As for the issue of Confucianism, Liu Che always believed that compared with the Donglin Party, which was full of morality and was actually filthy, he preferred the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party, which could cooperate with the Eunuch Party and Wei Zhongxian for the sake of interests.

Because, the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party will come into contact with reality and will know how to compromise.

And the Donglin Party ......

Today, Confucianism can use money to post, oh no, take money to write articles, and tomorrow, use money to make Confucianism kneel down and sing conquest.

And this is exactly in line with Liu Che's requirement - capital and its interest groups need a microphone.

However, several Confucian-born Shang Shulang around Liu Che expressed their trepidation.

They bowed one after another: "Your Majesty is angry, Dong Zi is just confused for a while......"

"I'm not angry...... Liu Che smiled, looked at the framed article, and said: "Wait a minute, Dong Zi's article is almost comparable to Jia Yi's article!" ”

The attitude of the Son of Heaven made Shang Shulang unable to figure out the intentions of the Son of Heaven.

But they know that this time, Dong Zi and Confucianism are afraid that they will have to plant a big heel.

……………………

In Chang'an Shilin, Confucian rhetoric gradually fermented.

Especially Dong Zhongshu's article, because it was so well written.

For a time, there were countless fans.

In particular, many young aristocrats have been attracted by it.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the Chinese have a deep tradition of pursuing literati in their bones.

For example, how many people know that Teng Zijing, who is praised by the famous "The Story of Yueyang Tower", is actually a big corrupt official and a big bastard?

As soon as Dong Zhongshu's article came out, under the hype of public opinion, it quickly formed a trend.

In the scholarly and aristocratic classes, great influence was created.

Countless people have recited this article by Dong Zhongshu.

At first, these people just read and played by themselves at home, and when they found that the state and the court were indifferent, these fellows began to preach in public.

Then, some guys who took money or had interests involved became more and more emboldened after discovering that it seemed that the Son of Heaven and the eagle dogs of the imperial court did not even stop this.

In addition, the money of the merchants and the power of certain ministers and nobles were instigated behind the scenes.

So, someone started to rally.

Of course, they did not dare to assemble in front of the public—that would have been beaten to death by the people of Chang'an.

They are also well aware that, in fact, the momentum they create is only at the top.

Even the middle level does not support them.

After all, Chang'an City has been in disrepair for a long time, and many Luli, even those inhabited by the middle class, have long been dilapidated, and sewage is flowing everywhere.

Especially when the flood season of the Wei River comes, it often creates waterlogging.

Shang Guanli and Qi Li, as well as the surrounding aristocratic districts, will of course not be affected—even if there are, there will be troops and servants to clean up and guide them.

Even if you can see the sea on the other side of the river, Shang Guanli and Qi Li will definitely be clean.

Therefore, in this turmoil, the public opinion of the entire middle and lower classes and the upper class is completely separated.

Especially those nobles who have interests in the hands of merchants, they don't care about the mud legs to die.

It's easy to understand.

Just like in history, Emperor Wu's uncle Tian Wei was worried about the country and the people, but when he encountered a flood, he resolutely broke the embankment and discharged the flood, causing the Yellow River to flood the entire Henan region, and Tian Wei also tried his best to prevent others from blocking the breach - because in this case, it is likely that the next time the flood comes, he will drown his own feudal state.

Therefore, later Emperor Wu once said: Let Wu'an (Tian Wei) be here, the clan!

So, now, the scholars, who knew that what they said might cause public outrage, but wanted to create a momentum and form pressure, chose to assemble in the village schools in various places.

Their choice, of course, is very correct.

Because among the township schools, there is the most free speech in China.

Here, as long as it is not openly discussed to enter the Weiyang Palace today, kill the surnamed Liu, no matter how much they discuss national policies, it is also their power.

And this power is still guaranteed by the sages.

The child property does not destroy the village school, and it is unanimously considered by all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought that this is the behavior of a gentleman, and it is also an act that must be respected and respected.

Therefore, for a while, almost all the township schools in Chang'an were occupied by Confucian scholars.

These guys, holding high the banner of Dong Zhongshu, recited aloud the article "The Book of Great Righteousness" written by Dong Zhongshu, and they were all passionate.

"Competing with the people for the sake of the people, can the people be safe?" In a township school near Qili, Dong Zhongshu's eldest disciple Lu Bushu shouted loudly, heartbroken, and said with tears in his eyes: "The people who eat Lu today are favored and occupy a high position, take advantage of the wealth and wealth, have more cattle and more fields, and the people are thin day by day, and sleep in ......poverty."

A group of ruffians and rangers who took the money shouted one after another: "Don't compete with the people, don't compete with the people!" ”

Inside and outside the township school, colorful flags fluttered, and some people even cried bitterly, crying: "I wait for a small business, but the eaters are raging, and I can't live this day......"

In another township school, there were also Confucian scholars who took the stage and shouted: "Confucius said: The gentleman is righteous and the villain is profitable!" Therefore, the husband Huanghuang seeks wealth and the people who are lacking are also the will of the people, and the people of Huanghuang who seek benevolence and righteousness may not be able to turn the people, and the doctor's will is also! ”

"What is the righteousness of the king of food and the king of food who violates righteousness and actually benefits him?"

Similarly, dozens of ruffians and rangers shouted: "Competing with the people for profit, this saint is not what this saint can do, we must not agree!" ”

………………

All of a sudden, almost the entire voice of Chang'an seemed to be only their voice.

The broad masses of the lower classes and the middle class were choked by them, and they had nowhere to speak.

It was only in the Mo Society, far from Chang'an, that Mo scholars loudly criticized these acts of Confucianism.

However, the Moshe is too far away from Chang'an.

Moreover, the Mo family can get too little power.

Without the blessing of the monarchy, the voice of the Mo family is almost negligible.

So, for a time, public opinion in Chang'an was turbulent.

The signboards of Confucius and Mencius were all held aloft by people.

Inside and outside the township school, the tremendous 'anti-competition for profit with the people' movement was so violent, that even the Shaofu and the internal history yamen were so frightened that they did not dare to act rashly.

In the face of the suppression of the voices of the Shofu and the Inner History, and even the Kyosuke Governor, the Governor of the Reign of the Governor, and the Five Senses Nakaro, who would ask for the 'purging of public opinion'.

Liu Che sneered and said, "It's okay, there's no need to discuss it...... If the child property does not destroy the township school, Taizong will remove the crime of slander, how can I block the way of speech......"

In fact, Liu Che is very clear that some of these bureaucratic demands are his own instinctive reactions, while others are fueled by ulterior motives.

Think about it, if Liu Che used the army and the sword to block the mouths of these Confucian scholars and merchants.

However, the result will certainly be counterproductive.

Maybe you will even be deceived by Confucianism!

Liu Che is not so stupid!

"Watch him rise up a tall building, watch him feast guests, watch his building collapse!" In the face of officials who repeatedly asked for instructions, Liu Che only left this sentence.
