"Everyone, why did you go to a private school? To become a humble official? To continue to prevent the imperial court from treating me as a human being?" The scholar who had previously ridiculed the imperial policy saw everyone move.
When he talked about going to a private university, he couldn't help but made fun of her again.
"Brother Chen, the situation is like this, what's the point of talking about it?" A scholar saw that the scholar named Chen was standing and talking without pain. He couldn't help but asked, since it has become a fact. Why are you talking so much?
"Hmph! You guys can bear it, but Chen can't. I'm going to contact some scholars, pay homage to Confucius Temple, and say to Confucius and his old man, the current harsh government is so fierce that the dignity of scholars is gone. In this chaos.
Government, we scholars are just trying to make a living without raising our arms, and reading the books of sages is in vain."
Crying in the temple is a traditional program and skill of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. When important officials in the court encountered trouble, they would kneel down in the main hall to remonstrate. Scholars who could not go to the court would run to the Confucius Temple to cry. Scholars from Nanjing and Suzhou were the most popular in doing this.
Professional and good. Maybe the Ming Dynasty regarded them as human beings, and the farce of scholars crying in the temple was repeatedly staged in the Ming Dynasty's political arena. In the real historical time and space, they even preserved this traditional program until the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
However, the Manchu authorities who were accustomed to holding knives were obviously not used to this kind of scene. They wanted to see whether the necks of the crying scholars were stronger or the knives in their own hands were stronger. It seemed that they did not chop many people, Wen
The inheritance of precious intangible cultural heritage of people has been cut off.
The scholar surnamed Chen proposed to cry in the temple. After everyone on the boat looked at each other for a while, they all agreed. The female prostitutes present even dedicated several ditties to these excited young people to support them.
"Five days later, we will gather together in the Confucius Temple to speak out about national affairs." The excited people drank until midnight before leaving drunkenly. When they left, they didn't want to say anything to remind them of business.
"Brother Luo, are you going to the Weeping Temple in five days?" After the big occasion was over, small occasions in twos and threes began again.
"Go! This is Shilin's business. How can I be alone?" Luo, a scholar named Luo, proudly expressed his stance to his friend who asked him about it.
"Since Brother Luo is going! We won't hold back."
After a few familiar scholars left, the scholar surnamed Luo took a deep breath and told his servants: "Ask my family to quickly prepare two thousand taels of silver dollars for me, and also take care of a small boat. In four days,
I went north to the Central Plains overnight."
"Master, aren't you going to go to the Saint's Temple with the other young masters to cry and remonstrate?" The confidants were confused by the sudden change of attitude of their master. What on earth are you going to do? Do you have any clues?
"Crying to remonstrate! Only fools cry to remonstrate. Do you think that the world today is the same as it was a few years ago? Not to mention the emperor's attitude towards scholars, how much support do we have for scholars? There has been a great academic development in Beizhi for ten years.
It can be said that there are people everywhere who are educated and literate. Under such circumstances, what can scholars like us do to compete with the imperial court? What’s the harm if the imperial court abandons us all? The total number of students in various universities is
Twenty to thirty thousand people have graduated, but we are still missing three melons and two dates?
Don't tell anyone what I said today, just prepare the money and the boat. We have to stay away from the den of right and wrong, so as not to be implicated by those people who are not smart." The scholar surnamed Luo has been in the past two years.
He has been to Beijing and visited Beizhi for a while. He knows what the current world is like, and he also knows what qualities his teammates are like. If they can accomplish something, why go to Nanjing before the imperial army enters it?
It was unreliable at that time, but it is reliable now?
I'd better go to a private university in Zhengzhou and get a diploma. I'll figure out what to do next, and I can't get involved in the whirlpool of the Wailing Temple. Today, even rebels and foreign invaders can calmly deal with it and clean it up.
Can’t we have a bunch of white-mouthed scholars?
Five days later, many scholars from inside and outside Nanjing gathered under the Confucius Temple. There were some scholars who escaped from the battlefield, but they were not the mainstream. Most of the scholars trusted their traditional skills.
"Brother Chen, most of the people still came. Only a few people such as Luo Maocai did not come. Today there are at least a thousand people crying in the temple."
"Thousands of people? It seems that our momentum has not been completed yet. It is estimated that many people are still waiting and watching. When today's event is completed, there will be countless people who will respond. The scholars from Suzhou Prefecture and I have already connected with each other. Today
He will definitely agree with what the sun does." More than a thousand scholars were engaged in trouble, and their momentum was indeed lacking. The scholar surnamed Chen was not very satisfied.
The scholars went to the Confucius Temple to cause trouble, and the Nanjing Governor's Yamen and the Jiangnan Governor's Yamen quickly received the relevant news. Jiangnan Governor Zhang Fengxiang, Nanjing Magistrate Wang Keli and others quickly held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"Governor, when the scholars are causing trouble, we should quickly send out criminal agents to suppress them. Arrest those who should be arrested and disperse those who should be dispersed, so that they will not cause trouble for a long time and affect the security of the whole city." Wang Keli and Chen Dayou are among the first batch of college students.
, he did not like scholars and other groups very much, and advocated that these flies should be dealt with as soon as possible.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate! It's not a trivial matter for scholars to cause trouble. If we suppress them forcefully, we might cause chaos."
"Precisely because the scholars are making trouble, they should be suppressed as soon as possible. What's so important about them? The state has always been violent in dealing with civil and military disturbances, but it indulges in the troubles of the scholars. What's the reason for this?"
"But they are scholars after all. If they act too decisively, I'm afraid it will cause a trend among scholars." After all, Zhang Fengxiang came from a traditional scholar background and sympathized with the scholars who were also scholars.
"How can the governor decide what should be done?"
"Let's see if I can send someone to persuade them to disperse."
"Persuading them to disperse? I guess that's not possible, right? Doing so will easily increase their arrogance and lead to a long-lasting chaos."
"They are all sensible scholars and should know the importance."
"If they knew the seriousness, they wouldn't do such a random thing. They are all a bunch of people who read into the minds of dogs. How can there be any sensible person?"
"The magistrate must be careful, don't say anything to the world's scholars." Zhang Fengxiang was a little annoyed by Wang Keli's aggressive tone and warned him.
"I would also like to ask you, Lord Governor, to be careful. There are scholars in the world, but those who are arrogant and make trouble in the Confucius Temple are not considered people who are good at reading. Serious scholars should come from universities and work hard for the people and the world with practice.
.Unlike them, they only have their own self-interest in their eyes and do not care about the interests of the world." Wang Keli was also a little angry by Zhang Fengxiang's words. As a representative of the new school university, he wants to gain fame for his own group. Why do he do that?
Should the literati who helped the old imperial examinations represent scholars? The college student group should be the orthodox scholar in the world. Now it is time for this group of them to compete for the right to speak in the mainstream!
