After all, Cao Wu was the Minister of Rites, so he didn't have to go back to the Yamen Office after the court. He habitually returned to the mansion to have lunch, then take a nap, and then decided whether to go back to the Yamen Office to check his mood.
Just after lunch, the housekeeper said that an escort from the Ping An Escort Bureau came from the border and brought a letter, written by the commander of the Qianqi Camp.
Cao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked someone to fetch the letter. After closing the door, he unfolded the letter.
It was indeed written by Chu Qing himself. The entire text is written in plain language and the format is not correct, but his attitude is extremely humble.
It starts with a greeting, Uncle Cao personally greetings, "Hello, Uncle Cao, have you eaten, Uncle Cao?"
Looking at the first line of words, these crooked words, just like the perfunctory words written by people in the market, really made Lao Cao both angry and funny.
But what happened next made Cao Wu frown tightly.
There are so many people in Beijing, and you are the first person I have personally written to. Oh, yes, in addition to my father, oh, there is also the eldest lady of the Tao family, I almost forgot, there are also General Tan of the Ministry of War, and Qiu Shilang, and
Yes, uh, in short, I didn’t even write to the emperor, but I wrote to you.
Uncle Cao, you know what I'm doing, kid. I really haven't studied much. I know that many adults think that I'm just a vulgar bastard with bad luck. But no matter how much I'm a bastard and no matter how much I don't care, I still have concerns.
thing.
I know that the British prince Feng Shuai went to the Poor Academy, and there are other people taking care of him, but I am still worried. What I am worried about is not the Academy, but the education.
You may not believe it, or you may not understand it. If you don’t understand it, just think that I am speaking to you on behalf of many, many bastards.
I've been like this all my life. I didn't study well when I was young. I couldn't read the Four Books and Five Classics. I just muddled around in a muddle. I couldn't blame others. I had to stand upright when I was beaten. This world is so fucked up. If you don't have the ability, you have to be bullied.
We have to stand up and stay close to each other, working for our boss, farming for our masters, and herding cattle for the masters. There is no other way, we are worthless and just fooling around, this life will be over.
I, Chu Qing, am lucky. I was born in the Chu family. But there are many people who are unlucky. They work as leeks or as hard workers and have no chance to get ahead in their lives. We can endure anything. Even if we die suddenly tomorrow, we have no regrets.
, there is nothing to expect, but children, our children, our descendants, are our only hope.
We can endure anything, no matter how hard it is, no matter how tired we are, no matter how humiliated we are, we can endure it, but the only thing we cannot endure is our children, children who are connected by blood.
We have all suffered so much and are so tired, why do our descendants still have to suffer? No, not suffering, but being tortured. In the most beautiful age, the most innocent age, they should not be tortured.
When young people are strong, the country will be strong. Therefore, the responsibility today does not lie with others, but with my young people.
The private schools of aristocratic families, the academies of various sects, and the Imperial College in the capital are not the future of the world, at least not the future of humble people like us.
Students from private schools, academies, Imperial College, and poor academies will go to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and various government offices, and go to many, many government offices where they can apply what they have learned.
When they go to the Ministry of War, they are loyal and patriotic people who protect their homeland and country, maintain stability in one place, and dominate the world with their military strength.
When they went to Honglu Temple, they wanted to promote the prestige of our Chang Dynasty. One word of argument is more important than the treasure of the Nine Cauldrons, and a three-inch tongue is stronger than a million teachers.
They went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites and set an example, treating the king above and the people below, seeking the benefit of the country and not seeking wealth and honor.
In the Chang Dynasty, many people, many things, and many places were rotten, rotten to the core. I, Chu Qing, couldn’t change many things because they were too small, so I wrote you this letter to Mr. Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites.
If you write this letter, I can't change it, and maybe you can't change it, but our descendants, our descendants, can change it. We just need to point out a path for them that we really can't go on, and let them go on the right path.
, the path of change.
But now, the aristocratic families and courtiers are stopping me, stopping everyone, and stopping those who want to change, because in their eyes, there is only power and money, only themselves and their family, and they even instill this concept into the students. When these
When students go to the Ministry of War one day, they are no longer loyal and patriotic people. When these students go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, they are people who only care about selfishness. When they go to Honglu Temple, they are colluding with traitors from other places.
, and these people will be in high positions, and our children will be in high positions. They have already been indoctrinated with ideas that should not be indoctrinated. By then, future generations will be like a disease, spreading the most vicious poison in the world.
To more people, spread it to their children and grandchildren, our children and grandchildren.
It could kill me and I would struggle.
It can kill the little people who rise to fight, and the little people who rise to fight will save their lives.
But it can't touch our descendants or our descendants. I won't accept it, and neither will Shengdou Xiaomin.
It can torture me, it can bully me, it can trample me in the mud and keep humiliating and squeezing me, but I won't tolerate it if it tortures my children.
If young people are strong, the country will be strong. If young people are strong, the country will be strong. Killing people and destroying the country is not necessarily done with a knife. Some things are more terrifying than a knife.
After reading the last word, Cao Wu put the letter on the desk with a complex expression and a bit of confusion.
He didn't know what Chu Qing wanted to do or what he wanted to ask him to do. He didn't even know what Chu Qing's letter meant.
Because Chu Qing is not a common man in Shengdou, but his tone is like that of a common man in Shengdou, a helpless and angry common man in Shengdou.
Although Cao Wu is a minister, he is not the kind of person who sits in the clouds without being stained by fireworks.
He knows what is going on in this world. The people at the bottom, many people, are already numb. This world has made them numb. For generations, they have been living in such a numb way. But Chu Qing said that the numb people have reverse scales.
, there is an intolerable negative scale, that is, children and future generations, children and future generations who will be tortured.
What does this "poison" mean?
Calling the housekeeper in, Cao Wu frowned and asked, "What happened in Beijing recently, related to Qianqi Camp."
The housekeeper thought for a while and said uncertainly: "I heard that a few days ago, Qianqi Camp burned down an academy, which seemed to be an academy that teaches painting."
"Why?"
"I don't know, because it was Qianqiying who made the move, and the official did not dare to publicize it, and the suffering master went to prison."
"The Lord of Suffering?" Cao Wu snorted coldly: "Although Chu Qing has a perverse temper and Qianqiying also has his faults, but after taking so many people, is there really a Lord of Suffering among these people? Justice, law, and justice are important.
The law is still heavy. If the law was heavy, how could the Qianqi camp be so rampant today? If there was no justice for those so-called sufferers, why would the courtiers, aristocratic families, and the emperor tolerate it to this day?"
The butler smiled bitterly and was speechless.
Not to mention, there is definitely something wrong with the people arrested by Qianqiying. They look like suffering masters, but who is not a treacherous and evil person? Although Qianqiying does not obey the law, he has found justice. This is also
Why did the aristocratic family break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs?
Cao Wu still didn't understand what the letter written by Chu Qing meant.
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in.
"Master, something happened?"
Cao Wu's expression changed slightly: "What's the matter?"
"The Qianqi Camp has started to arrest people again. Starting this morning, they went to all the academies in Beijing and arrested many gentlemen, dozens of them."
"What's the crime?"
"Most of the people who have affairs with envoys from various countries are secretly communicating with Ying envoys, collaborating with the enemy, and betraying the country."
"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?!" Cao Wu took a breath and looked at the letter again, finally understanding what Chu Qing meant.
The servant spoke again: "Even in the Hanmen Academy, two gentlemen from outside were arrested."
"What, a gentleman from the Poor Academy was also arrested?"
"I heard that it was because when compiling the book, it seemed to vaguely praise the Ying people. Many great scholars in Beijing have gathered together and want to enter the palace to seek justice from the emperor."
Cao Wu's gray brows knitted together tightly.
If you teach, you should teach well. Why do these great Confucians who teach praise the Ying people? Don’t they know how many people the Ying thieves massacred in the Three Roads of the East China Sea?
After being silent for a long time, Cao Wu suddenly got up and became furious.
"These so-called great Confucian scholars, do they still want to make the students and the younger generations forget all the bloody debts committed by the Japanese thieves in the East China Sea? Take official robes and enter the palace to meet the emperor!"
