Chapter 313: The Sword Pierces the Sky
"Father." Liu Liandao, "The three old gentlemen Yan Shenggong, Zhu Yuandian, and Cheng Leshan were arrested by the emperor and imprisoned in a prison car, and they are parading the streets in Yingtianfu. ”
"What!? The emperor actually locked up the three sages of Yan Shenggong and Cheng Zhu in a prison car!? And parade through the streets! Liu Bowen froze in place when he heard this, and the pen in his hand slipped involuntarily.
"The sages have been dragged to parade through the streets, and the thousand-year-old Confucian culture of my Han family has been desecrated."
"Father, that's not all." Liu Lian said eagerly, "The emperor still wants to put them in prison, and he also wants Wenchen to draft a hundred heinous crimes of the Kong, Cheng, and Zhu families, all of which should be punished by the nine clans." ”
"It is said that they have plagued the people for thousands of years, and they are a thousand-year-old cancer of the Han family."
Millennial cancer? Liu Bowen was dumbfounded.
"And the emperor will behead the Cheng and Zhu families, Zhu Yuandian Cheng Leshan Lingchi will be executed, and Yan Shenggong will be driven to the West." Liu Lian continued, "In addition, they will cast their ancestors into white iron kneeling statues, and kneel down for thousands of years!" ”
"I also want to burn all the books of Cheng Zhu Lixue, this is learning from Qin Shi Huang's 'book burning'!"
"It's over, it's over!" Liu Bowen's voice was old and weak for a while, he felt dizzy for a while, and almost fainted, Liu Lian hurriedly went over to support him, "The emperor is too ruthless." ”
"Since the beginning of the Renaissance, my father has long guessed that the emperor wants to suppress Confucianism." Liu Bowen said, "But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and it came so strongly!" ”
"The emperor's methods are like a thunderbolt ringing through the sky on a sunny day, like a sharp sword cutting through the sky!"
Thundered!
Suddenly, the sky changed outside, and the oppressive thunder rolled like a wheel in mid-air.
It indicates that a huge storm is coming, and the heavenly thunder will use its righteous qi, nine heavens Yingyuan, and thunder to generalize and sweep away the thousand-year-old haze of Kyushu in China, the demonic atmosphere, and the hundred ghosts in the world.
"No, this is not a suppression, but a complete sweep!" Liu Bowen said, looked at the weather outside, and said, "The culture of China is really going to change!" ”
"Your Majesty, you are about to usher in a strong backlash from the world's scholars, and the whole country will condemn it."
"The Ming Dynasty is about to usher in the impact of monstrous waves."
"The emperor's implementation of this step is too reluctant, too fast, and I don't know if Da Ming can withstand the stormy impact of the world's soldiers. If you can't bear it, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. ”
"Father, Confucianism, is the root of the world's scholars." Liu Liandao, "The scholars of the world will never agree to the emperor doing this." When our roots are broken, we are like flies without heads, like duckweed without roots. ”
"Er has already made a collective decision with hundreds of scholars in Tianfu to petition the palace together. I implore the emperor to release the three sages, restore the reputation of Confucianism, and re-respect Confucianism as holy. ”
"Now these scholars are waiting outside, they want their father, Gao Qi, Song Lian, and you three Confucians to take the lead."
"No!" Liu Bowen almost used a roaring voice, "You can't carry a head for a father." ”
"You can't go for the Father, and you can't go either!"
"Father!" Liu Lian shouted, "Children and people who read the world, from elementary school are Confucian sage books." And the emperor is going to destroy Cheng Zhu's nine clans today, to expel Yan Shenggong to the West, and to burn books! ”
"The Confucian beliefs established since childhood have been violently desecrated."
"The collapse of the Confucian Five Constants of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith will be the collapse of Mount Tai." Liu Lian burst into tears after speaking, "Confucian sages have long taught us scholars to sacrifice our lives for righteousness and kill to become benevolent. ”
"Now, it is the time for those of us who are scholars to sacrifice our lives for righteousness and kill ourselves."
"Son, since the Renaissance began, you should read more Renaissance books." Liu Bowen said, "The emperor is doing this today, it is inevitable!" From the day he supported the Renaissance, the suppression of Confucianism was bound to happen. ”
"It's just that this day came too quickly, and the emperor's methods were too strong."
"The emperor has already started to burn books, and it will definitely ......"
"Father, you mean Confucian?" Liu Lian's face changed color.
"With the emperor's decisive killing, do you think he won't dare?" Liu Bowen said.
"This incident is indeed too big, and it is indeed the biggest major event in more than a thousand years, which has changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon have no light." Liu Bowen said, "At present, my father is also in turmoil, and I can't think of any way." ”
"But we have to stick to one thing."
"Don't go against the emperor at any time."
"Who is the Emperor?"
"Even if you behead a thousand people, ten thousand people, you are still the Lord with no waves."
"No, I have to go." However, Liu Lian was very stubborn, "Even if the son is killed by the emperor, he must petition the three sages." Even if he dies, he will be a virtuous scholar and leave a name in history. ”
"Lake Tu!" Liu Bowen shouted, "Wang Lei, the scholar who opposed the emperor's expedition to Goryeo, has his name gone down in history? ”
"Now the whole country is scolding him for being short-sighted, and he deserves to be punished by the nine clans."
"Wang Lei was beheaded all over the house, and he ended up with a stinking end for 10,000 years, you want our Liu family to do the same!"
"Father, it won't be like this, will it?" Liu Liandao, "When the emperor went on an expedition to Goryeo, it was a great ...... of eloquence."
"Did you see the Emperor's eloquence at the beginning? Didn't you think that the emperor's conquest of Goryeo was a reckless military force, and he did not respect Confucius's 'prudent war'? You gradually changed your mindset later. Liu Bowen said coldly, "The expedition to Goryeo is like this, how can there be no such possibility this time!?" ”
"Father, you support the emperor......" Liu Lian trembled.
"The father didn't say anything." Liu Bowen said, "Go out and tell those students that my father is sick, and he is very sick." ”
"Father, you are a role model for scholars in eastern Zhejiang and a model for scholars in the world. He is also one of the three famous Confucians in the early Ming Dynasty, and with such an evasive style, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the mouths of the people, and people in the world will not believe that their father is sick......" Liu Liandao.
When Liu Bowen heard this, he felt that the pressure was as huge as a mountain.
He is one of the leaders of the world's scholars, and his reputation is resounding throughout the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor suppressed Confucianism, and he was the first choice, leading everyone to stand out for Confucianism.
So at this moment, the scholars of Ying Tianfu have already blocked the door of the house, forcing him to take the lead.
He doesn't take the lead in the charge, he can't say it. The clumsy trick of pretending to be sick can't even fool a three-year-old child. He chose to escape at the moment, if the scholar side wins, he will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years.
"This is to roast the Father's frame on the fire! I can't even escape. Liu Bowen lamented, "Do you have to let my Liu family be punished?" We people could never be the Emperor's opponents. ”
What if I chose to be on the Emperor's side? Suddenly, a bold thought came to him.
Standing on the side of the emperor is contrary to the beliefs he has cultivated since childhood. He is in his fifties and has been reading the books of the sages for fifty years. It was really difficult for him to oppose Confucianism with the emperor for a while.
