Chapter 49: I would rather die than give in
As the Revolutionary Army entered the palace, the four of King Fu and Lu Weiqi were moved to a side hall in the corner, which was cramped and wet.
The shouts and killing at the palace gate and inexplicable singing and laughter came over last night. Because they were unclear and the strong contrast, they were filled with fear. They tossed and turned in bed all night but couldn't close their eyes.
"Prince, Prince, Commander is here. I'm waiting for you outside. I will serve the prince's clothes!"
Because of the cold, King Fu hugged his wife who had been married for more than ten years for the first time, and was wrapped in two thick quilts. Although both of them were fat, the fat man was not afraid of heat or cold as a person understood, but because of his weak body, he was afraid of heat and even cold.
With King Fu's pampering life, he never suffered such a hardship and was reluctant to get up at all. However, when he heard Huang Wu's call, he sat up like a conditioned reflex.
Princess Fu's body also trembled slightly, her heart was filled with fear, her nose felt sour, and she started to cry.
"What's the point of crying? The country can only die!"
King Fu turned around and shouted.
Princess Fu cried and said, "The prince said it was so light. You men were just dead. But it was not so easy for a woman to die. In the sewer that day, if Commander Li had not been a little conscience, I was afraid that my daughter-in-law and you would have been insulted in front of you and you. Woo woo, what evil did your Zhu family do? I actually suffered this retribution!"
King Fu was so upset that he simply ignored it. Huang Wu helped him get out of bed and dressed. After a while, Hu Ba helped him out. Huang Wu still had to stay and wait for the princess to dress and wash.
There was no way. The eunuch was killed. The palace maid was promised by Li Xin, so she could only serve the four of the family. Fortunately, no one would regard the eunuch as a man. As recorded in history, An Dehai and Li Lianying often served Cixi in close bathing. Princess Fu and Princess Crown Princess were the same. She was served by the eunuch and had no discomfort.
Soon, King Fu was taken to the front hall, with his sons Zhu Yousong and Lu Weiqi, while Li Xin took Gao Guiying and several personal guards.
In fact, last night, Li Xin and Hongniang said that Gao Guiying seduced her, and the main reason was to give Hongniang a vaccination to avoid really messing with Gao Guiying and Hongniang would not be able to stand it.
Gao Guiying was forced to come. She didn't want to, so Li Xin threatened her: "Sister Guiying, I like you. I dreamed of you last night, so I can't wait to come to you. Don't let it go. I have a bad temper. If I lose my temper, I will go crazy. If I get crazy, I am afraid of myself."
Gao Guiying was embarrassed and angry and said angrily: "You always like me, but you like me so domineeringly. Have you ever asked me if I would like it? Have you ever thought about my feelings with Lanzhi? We both fell into your hands and were worried every day, and we would be flirted with you. Okay, if you really like me, then let me and Lanzhi go, and I both would be grateful to you for the rest of your life!"
After saying this, Gao Guiying herself was shocked. She couldn't believe that she would say such things to Li Xin, and her mind was in a mess.
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Sister Guiying thinks I'm rude to you, then I'm gentle? Otherwise, I'll come to your car tonight and let you feel my gentle and considerate side."
"Don't think about it!"
Gao Guiying overturned her body.
If you encounter a scoundrel like Li Xin, just scold him. If someone doesn't care, she doesn't dare to say that he is too cruel. After all, even if she doesn't care about herself, she has to think of Li Lanzhi.
It's quite sad to say that Gao Guiying used to be a female horse thief and a female leader. She was so powerful that she was very proud. Even if she married Li Zicheng, she was respected. Almost no one dared to be presumptuous in front of her. She lacked the experience of dealing with scoundrels like Li Xin.
Finally, Li Xin pulled her hand away and forced her away. She felt a sense of humiliation in her heart!
Li Xin secretly recalled the wonderful feeling of teasing Gao Guiying early in the morning, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, bowing upwards: "Are you ready? Let's go on the road when you're ready."
King Fu shivered all over, and the word "going to the road" triggered his infinite association!
"snort!"
Lu Weiqi snorted, "I asked you, Wang Daotai, Prefect Feng and other officials were taken out of the palace last night, but they were already dead?"
"good!"
Li Xin nodded.
Lu Weiqi asked, "Why are you keeping me?"
Li Xin smiled faintly: "It will be useful to keep you. Mr. Lu is a great scholar of the times, but my commander also wants you to write a book for me."
"snort!"
Lu Weiqi snorted again, revealing a strong sense of sarcasm, but he did not dare to stimulate Li Xin too much.
In history, when Li Zicheng killed him, although he did not beg for mercy, he knelt on the ground honestly, answering whatever he asked, mainly because he was afraid of suffering from flesh and blood.
For people like him, death may not be that scary. Once you bite your teeth and hurt your neck, it will pass, but not everyone can bear torture. There are so many imperial prisons in the Ming Dynasty every year, how many people can eat torture?
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to ask you to write a book called "The Book of the Great Righteous Awakenings", criticize Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, expose Zhu Xi's hypocritical face, criticize him and criticize him, and you will never turn over!"
"You... are arrogant, and you should be punished by heaven and earth!"
Lu Weiqi didn't care about fearing torture, and he opened his hair and beard and scolded him sternly.
Zhu Xi was called Zhu Xi by the literati at that time. This was the treatment of a saint. He made him criticize Zhu Xi, perhaps he would rather go to the imperial prison than follow.
Gao Guiying also looked at Li Xin in surprise and overthrew Zhu Zi. Even if she and Li Zicheng rebelled, they would not dare to think about this. On the one hand, they rebelled and were still in the category of peasant uprisings. There was no clear program and goal. If you take one step at a time, no one can explain the future path.
On the other hand, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was the standard ideology at that time. The peasant uprising thought of overthrowing the emperor, but there would never be any idea of overthrowing the ideology. Therefore, from this perspective, what Li Xin had to do was bigger than changing dynasties. This was not only changing the sky, but also changing the mind!
Li Xin said coldly: "Zhu Xi, who inherited the theory of the two Chengs, spread it widely. In the dangerous environment where the Jin army was approaching and the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was at any time, he had a certain level of stabilizing the people's hearts. He was considered a minor contribution.
Later, he proposed the idea of preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires. Regardless of the original intention, whether Confucian scholars in later generations misinterpreted it. Since this dynasty, it has become a sign of Neo-Confucianism. It was an important tool for imprisoning people's thoughts and enslaving and exploiting the people during the rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. It was also the beginning of China's gradual loss of pioneering and innovative spirit, becoming increasingly conservative and social rigid. Therefore, this person's crime is extremely heavy, and even if there are a hundred virtues, it is not enough to offset this crime!
What's more, Zhu Xi is a complete hypocrite who teaches people to preserve the principles of heaven and destroy the desires of others on the surface, but secretly seduces nuns and seduces his daughter-in-law. Ha, is he playing the trick of keeping the principles of heaven and destroying the principles of heaven in his crotch?
Mr. Lu, I know you will be extremely angry and even have the idea of dying and not surrendering. I understand and will give you time to think, but my patience is limited. If there are other great scholars who are similar to your reputation and are willing to write "The Book of the Great Righteous Awakening" for me, then you will be useless. I hope you can calm down and think carefully about what Neo-Confucianism has brought to the Ming Dynasty."
"Don't imagine that I would rather die than surrender. Even if you destroy the ten clans of my husband, I would never imagine that I would like to write a word for you!"
Lu Weiqi roared in anger.
"Oh!"
Li Xin smiled coldly: "Then let's take a look. Don't beg me then, come and take someone out!"
