Chapter 322: Book Burning and Confucianism
A few days later.
Ying Tianfu.
Palace.
"Have the scholars from the other provinces started to act?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Your Majesty, the scholars of the provinces around Yingtianfu have received news one after another and have begun to take action. Scholars from all provinces across the country have been entangled together to help the Confucian scholars in Tianfu. ”
"There are even many scholars from far away, who are rushing to Ying Tianfu thousands of miles away."
"It's good that they all pop up one by one, let's find them one by one." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Originally, with the speed of information dissemination at that time, students in the surrounding provinces did not get the news so quickly. However, Emperor Zhu had already sent fifteen messengers to rush to various provinces for 800 miles to spread the news.
"The world is really in chaos!?" Liu Bowen, who was still under house arrest in the side hall, said tremblingly when he heard this. Not only was he under house arrest for several days, but even all the civil and military officials could not go out for a few days, nor could they see the emperor.
All of them were locked up in the palace, and the emperor provided them with food and drink.
"The emperor wants to wipe out Confucianism!?"
"If the emperor doesn't move, he will be killed if he moves, and there will be no future troubles."
Because there was no interference from the outside world and they were able to think calmly, the crowd basically saw the situation clearly.
This time, it was the emperor who was dictatorial, and they were all bystanders.
……
"Your Majesty!" A Jinyi guard commander entered the door and reported secretly, "Chen Tong, a thousand households in Jingwei, was born in Confucianism, secretly met with scholars, and there are signs of rebellion and forced the palace, do you want to take him down immediately?" ”
"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Give him some more soldiers and horses, and give him some courage." ”
"I'm afraid he won't force the palace!"
"Yes!" The commander withdrew.
"Your Majesty, the situation is getting more and more chaotic." Yang Xian was terrified on the side.
It was the first time he had experienced such a chaotic situation in the world.
"As long as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is not chaotic, the world will not be chaotic." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"But there are Confucian people in Jingwei...... Yang Xian said worriedly.
"It's just a thousand households, and it can't make any big waves." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was calm.
"Your Majesty, Song Lian, Gao Qi, sighed for a long time in the mansion, it seems that they haven't completely figured it out. But they did not go out to meet the scholars. At this time, the two tigers entered the door to report.
"Give them the books of the Renaissance and let them write us 10,000 words after reading." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes!" Erhu walked out.
……
The news of the whole country reached the ears of the emperor one after another, and the emperor took control of the overall situation.
"Xuan Lanyu, Feng Sheng, Tang Shengzhong, Lu Zhongheng, Zhou Dexin, Geng Bingwen, Zhu Liangzu, Zhu Wenzheng are here!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Soon, a group of generals who were holding back their bellies met the emperor in the Fengtian Palace.
As soon as they entered the door, the crowd all asked for help to exterminate the group of loyal Confucian defenders.
"Sappy!"
"The last general!"
"You lead 10,000 troops and horses to Jiangxi Province. took the talisman and took the talisman to transfer troops from the former military governor's mansion. ”
"The last general obeys!"
"Feng Sheng!"
"The minister is here!"
"You lead 10,000 troops to Shanxi Province and transfer troops from the Houjun Governor's Mansion."
"Yes!"
"Tang Shengzhong, you go to Sichuan and transfer troops from the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army."
"Zhu Wenzheng, you go to Shandong ......"
"Zhu Liangzu, you go to Fujian......"
"Zhou Dexin, you go to Dadu ......"
……
"After you arrive at the fifteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, you will only do two things. 1. Book burning: All books related to Confucianism were collected and burned, and only one copy of the Analects was kept. ”
"Second: Confucianism. For those who are in the lead, there is basically no way to change the Confucianism......"
"A thousand-year-old demonic atmosphere can only be washed away by dripping blood!"
"The blood that comes out of the thousand-year-old tumor has to be grafted in a basin."
"Last, obey!"
When the generals heard the word Confucianism, their hearts trembled.
Although they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have long been accustomed to seeing human life on the battlefield, they are still terrified at this moment. This is a thorough sweep of Confucianism in the entire Ming Dynasty and on the land of China.
"We believe that the vast majority of those who died this time were those loyal servants of Confucianism, defenders of Cheng Zhuli, and stubborn old antiques." Seeing the backs of the generals leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance and said,
"Under Mr. Qin's series of decisions, most of the people in Daming are now well-fed."
"Coupled with the Renaissance, it had a subtle impact on them."
"There are not too many people who like to give Confucianism a funeral."
"Boom!"
At this time.
In the sky outside, a bucket-thick bolt of lightning tore through the sky like a huge sword.
Bang la la blah!
In an instant, the rain was pouring down.
As if to wash away, the thousand-year-old haze of the Chinese sky.
……
It was a rainy night that day.
Ying Tianfu's forbidden army also began to act, and captured those leaders with lightning speed.
Next.
The sky cleared.
On the hill outside the city of Yingtianfu, the collected Confucian classics were piled up like a mountain, piling up the entire valley. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, the forbidden army burned all the books to the sky.
In these books, all of them talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, kings and ministers, fathers and sons, men and women are not kissed; would rather starve to death than observe festivals, men are inferior to women, and the court must swear allegiance to the death even if the people are corrupt;
Even if the emperor does not pay the soldiers and the soldiers starve to death and freeze to death, they must sacrifice their lives for righteousness and kill themselves, otherwise they will be disloyal;
The people should live as humble as ants, so that it is convenient for the feudal nobles to drive and control. Anyone who wants to ask for some wealth and freedom, and wants to be as equal as the feudal aristocracy, is arrogance and rebellion.
etc., the idea of feudal remnants.
The central idea of these books is that the people should be obedient, obedient, obedient.
Be loyal, loyal, loyal,
Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and the common people should regard the feudal nobles as their fathers. The king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die. In the same way, the feudal aristocracy wanted the people to die, and the people must also die without any complaints.
The people of the world are all loyal servants of the feudal aristocracy.
But now, these books are burned.
The flames of terror burned the sky red.
And in another place, a huge pit was dug.
Those defenders of Confucianism, their heads are rolling.
It's not just in Yingtianfu.
The same sweep took place in all the fifteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty and all the lands of Kyushu. If you can overlook it, the whole world will be under fire, and blood will be everywhere.
The sky of the Ming Dynasty has become a blood-colored firmament.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Tong has rebelled, he is leading three thousand rebels to rush here, less than ten miles away. Please follow the last general to leave immediately, and the last general will protect the emperor's safety. The figure flashed and the two tigers hurried over, anxiously reporting.
