C211 Detonation Countdown (1/2)
Just as Prince Gong's Residence was in a state of chaos, in the study of Weng Tonghe and Weng's family in the east city, Qing Liu was sitting alone on an armchair. On the desk in front of him was a messy pile of Xuan paper, covered with written words.
The Master Weng's Mo Bao could be sold for a hundred silver in the capital for a single word. It was the money printing machine for living people. If he were to sell these messy words at this price, it would at least cost several tens of thousands silver taels. However, these words were destined to never spread out. A portion of it had already been burnt in the brazier, so the rest could not escape this fate.
”Confucius and Young Master Ju …” Kill Shaozhen... When the Saints had ordered them to kill someone in the past, would they be selfish? Did he ever hesitate, did he ever disagree... ”The struggle for knowledge has always bled ever since the ancient times!”
The Shaozhen that Weng Tonghe was talking about was one of the pioneers of the law in the Lu Kingdom. At that time, Confucius had served as prime minister for only seven days, and he had killed him using the phrase 'Fifth National Vicious' as the reason. And one of the biggest sins is to gather a crowd to spread the word of evil.
Assemble? Evil theory? These reasons have been questioned by future generations of historians in the thousands of years of Chinese history, and are the most controversial in Confucius' life.
The Spring and Autumn Period was an era where all sorts of ideas exploded. There was no academic world that unified thought. At that time, there was no Confucianism, and Confucius was just one of the many thought propagators.
Let Confucius gather his disciples to impart to you your thoughts, and forbid others to spread them? Not to mention that even Confucius' disciple Yan Huike loved to listen to Shaozhen's lessons, repeatedly going to listen to them several times. It was said that the number one sage in Confucius's disciples was Yan Hui. His knowledge that was highly praised by him should not be considered evil, right?
But Confucius still made a move, the reason for this was self-evident. Indeed, since the ancient times, when people fought for knowledge, they would bleed, and the problems Weng Tonghe faced today was probably even more severe than the problems he faced from when he was young.
”Xiao Letian, you're too amazing. You really are a talent that is hard to come by in a thousand years. ”Not only can you write books and write novels, you can even amass countless money in an instant. Now that you have a person who can win against ten, you have already forced me into a corner. You have already activated the foundations of showmanship …”
”Sorry, I have no other choice. No matter if you are guilty or not, as long as you continue to spread your knowledge, I will deal with you. You must die …”
Weng Tonghe was mumbling to himself like a madman in the study room. He was so excited that he covered his face and cried.
”Don't blame me, I don't have a choice …” Do you think I don't believe everything you write in your book? I believe it, I believe it all. Why don't I believe what the foreigners have already confirmed? ”But I can only secretly send a letter, I absolutely cannot express it. If even I bow my head, then is there a future for visualization?”
”What a vicious era this is! What a terrifying world this was! Why do you want to destroy our spiritual homeland, why do you want to destroy our ideal country of literati... Without it, how can you let all the scholars in the world live? ”
”Your majesty, the empress dowager, please wake up. Don't be greedy for such a small advantage. If you hurt the hearts of the world's scholars, who would praise your lands in the future?” Aren't you giving talents to the Zeng Family brothers and those ambitious people for nothing? ”How muddle-headed …”
Xiao Letian never thought that he would actually be on the same level as the controversial Shaozhen painting in history. No matter how much controversy the historians had over this matter, Xiao Letian was already sufficiently proud that a mere two devils, who had returned from overseas, could force a dignified Qingliu Leader to such a state.
Weng Tonghe was like a trapped beast that was wandering around in the study room, paper with the words ”Kong Zi, Young Master Ju” written all over was thrown everywhere, some of the paper were even ignited by the charcoal brazier.
”Aiya, old master! ”Fire, fire …” The butler just happened to run over and was so frightened that he rushed over to slap the flames. This was so that it did not cause any major mishap.
”My lord, we just received news, a fight has already started in front of Duke Gong's Mansion, four hundred people were fighting in a mess, now the soldiers of minister of nine city gates and the servants of Shuntian Palace have separated the two groups …”
”Right now, all the scholars in the Beijing are gathering at the Duke Gong Palace. Even the scholars in the countryside have arrived. I estimate that in a short while, there will be over a thousand scholars in the Duke Palace …”
”This servant is truly scared, is it really okay to just continue this matter?” Will there be any hindrance to you, old master? ”I heard that people said that the fight was terrible. They were bleeding from their heads and had broken bones and tendons …”
The butler was still blabbering on, when Weng Tonghe suddenly erupted in rage, and flipped the desk ”Go on, go on, go on, are you afraid of messing up now? ”The true great chaos is yet to come. If all kinds of theories and ideas of Xiyang were to flood in, thousands of miles in the Divine Lands will definitely kill all the people in the world …”
”What's wrong with hair growing up? When the time comes, mountains and rivers will be covered with battlefields. Families will have their weapons raised, fathers and fathers will kill each other, brothers will kill each other. Rites will be destroyed, and the world will collapse …”
”Don't you dare spout nonsense and let these scholars make a ruckus. If I don't fight now, I'm afraid that I won't have the ability to fight in the future!”
The butler was badly scolded. He was also frightened by the terrifying scene described by the old master. In the end, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly ran out to pass down the order.
Weng Tonghe had personally removed the last insurance of the nuclear warhead. The nuclear weapon which could shake the foundation of the world had finally started to count down.
The intelligence of the attack on Prince Gong's Mansion had also been sent to the Forbidden City. The two empress dowager's were so angry that they wandered around the room. ”This group of poor scholars is too arrogant. The imperial government isn't willing to let them off, they've already been pacified and forgiven. How can they continue to cause trouble?” ”Even if you all do not like western learning, the imperial government will not like it either. However, you must at least give the imperial government some time …”
”They only know how to urge people on. The imperial court is too tolerant of them right now. If this were in the founding of the kingdom, would they still dare to force the palace? He still dared to attack the Duke's Mansion? ”They sent troops a long time ago …”
