Chapter 6 Home (2)

The Zhu Er of Suzhou was a traitor. He convinced dozens of thieves along the coast to come back alone, and broke the last line of defense between Goryeo and Japan. The Zhu Er of Suzhou, who had won countless interests for the Ming Dynasty at the negotiating table, was a traitor. In the autumn of that year, Daru Bai saw a huge joke in the newspaper, but he couldn't laugh.

The pirated newspaper in his hand is the "Jiangnan News", the newspaper that is closest to the imperial court. As a direction light, it leads the trend of discussion in the capital. Looking at the small words under Bai Zheng's finger, everyone in the study seemed to hear the roar of the roar like a tsunami in the Confucian forest. Needless to ask, in the days to come, there will definitely be countless "patriots" who are willing or unintentional to ignore the facts and attack Zhu Er's personality and achievements from all angles.

Bai Zheng's heart became colder little by little. In his eyes, there were a pair of sinister eyes behind each of these lines of words. It was done by Huang Zicheng and Zhou Chongwen, or the interests gang of yours. This was the answer Bai Zheng knew without thinking. The new policy had been struggling under the old system for more than 20 years, and the leaders of both sides, Bo Wenyuan and Bai Dexin, also fought each other for more than 20 years. As time went by, many truths were no longer proved. Especially after Bo Wenyuan was killed by the court, the old hierarchy and moral theory had collapsed in people's eyes. Bai Zheng himself knew that the world had changed. The so-called Qianqiu Zhengxue also needed some changes to the times. Adhering to those dogmas has no meaning and no way out.

Change is not terrible. The saint said that I examine myself three times a day. The saint himself does not think that his words and deeds are completely correct, and it is worth following the imitation of future generations. What future generations need to adhere to most is not the saint's remarks, but the saint's willingness to learn and improve their academic attitude. After witnessing the changes in Peking and the country with his own eyes, Bai Zheng came to the above conclusion. His old friend Bo Wenyuan went west and no one in the world was a debate opponent. Instead, Bai Zheng had plenty of time to reflect on the history of the past twenty years with the conscience of a Confucian scholar. After reflection, he saw a helpless but hopeful ending.

The Confucians' foresight at that time was right. The new policy of Peking had shaken the foundation of the original order from the beginning. Now the fall of the Ming Empire was all caused by the new policy. However, under these crises, you can see a lot of vitality. If you can find a proper way to successfully get out of the current dilemma, the Ming Dynasty, no, Yanhuang will be a brand new Yanhuang, just like the phoenix flying in the fire on the flag of the Shaw Brothers fleet, it will never fall into the cycle of fate of chaos and governance again.

Bai Zheng is no longer Bai Zheng of that year. In the debate with Bo Wenyuan, he fully understood the essence of the other party's theory. Although he was stubborn, the true Confucian nature of a generation of true Confucians was willing to think about everything that happened in front of him. The new policy of Peking was not a monster that emerged from nowhere. Now it has gained more from Western philosophers, Lao Zhuang's spirit and Confucian concepts that are beneficial to the development of the new policy itself. From Bai Zheng's perspective, the pillar of the new policy, Bo Wenyuan's theory of equality, is more like a freak that combines the essence of Western philosophers and Confucianism, although it cannot be tolerated by Zheng.

The eyes of the Confucians are better able to adapt to the changing China. After nearly twenty years of development, the differences between the New Deal and Neo-Confucianism are clearly seen in everyone's eyes. Bai Zheng saw that the so-called New Deal is more often just a sign imposed by everyone on the northern provinces led by Peking. From the beginning, the north had only exploration and no specific purpose. Even now, the emerging Confucians in the six northern provinces proposed only one principle of equality and no ultimate goal. They, including Wu Anguo, the one who started to be a pupa, seemed to know where the goal was, where the new policy came from, and where it was to go.

"People are born equal. Even if they have different qualifications and wealth due to differences in their background, they have the same power." This is the principle adhered to by Guo Pu's new policy in the North. At this time, Bai Zheng's eyes were more like a commercial agreement, but to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to make money and change their lives with their abilities. There is no such great contemporary description as Zhou Li described below, nor does it have a very noble goal. Therefore, the people of the six northern provinces are scattered and do their own things. Compared with the Northern New Learning, Bai Zheng knew that the Qianqiu Zheng Xue, which he had been striving for, had been much clearer from the beginning. The Zhou Li, Jingtian, and the three generations advocated by Fang Xiaoru and others, once made him energetic and willing to sacrifice himself for him.

However, the reality is so cold. After so many years of disorder and distraction in the north, gradually compromised the interests of all parties around the principle of equality and formed some recognized rules. And the people who made the rules tried their best to avoid destroying this common agreement. Especially before and before... After Dali Temple Masaki, "Imperial Gift Golden Spear" Wu Sihan, after he withdrew from the world, he devoted himself to studying the law and constantly assisting the Jazz Association, will make various systems perfect and make it more difficult to drill for loopholes. It can be foreseeable that in the future, even a evil with all the poisons is complete.

The stick may become an ordinary person under such a strict law. In comparison, the starting goal of Neo-Confucianism in the south was much higher than that in the north, and the requirements for morality were much stricter. But now it has become an empty lie. Confucians talked about moral articles and Zhou Li Datong, but their hands were dirtier than thieves in private. While blatantly robbing the people's property, they put various signs on the opponents to death. Those so-called Zhou Li and so-called moral articles are just for the sake of saying that

In fact, the officialdom was operated, as Wu Sihan said, which was another set of unspoken rules. With this set of unspoken rules, they easily let Emperor Antai kill Bo Wenyuan, and poisoned him when they cried and pleaded for him and "all ministers were moved". Before the imperial edict was issued, Huang Zicheng already knew what choice Bo Wenyuan would make between "either writing a book to regret or commit suicide by taking poison." Now, the group of people's swords were swung at Gusu Zhu Er again. Gusu Zhu Er, who insisted that the person who spoke was innocent, could not be able to himself.

After reiterating, he used his power to fight back for the rumors in the newspaper. The rules on the negotiating table are completely unsuitable to fight against rumors. At this time, "Jiangnan News" started, and there must be countless newspapers who analyzed the life achievements of the general of the traitor, Gusu Zhu Er, without evidence or thinking, and directly confirmed the crime. The Ming Dynasty had just won a military victory in the southwest. With the high enthusiasm, countless ignorant people must follow the newspaper and act as "warriors" to eliminate traitors for the country!

Bai Zheng didn't dare to think further. Huang Zicheng was a junior disciple, and Zhou Chongwen was also his disciple. He had adhered to the integrity of scholars all his life, but he taught such a student. It has to be said that God mocked him. He pushed everyone away and picked up his pen. Bai Zheng began to defend Wen for Gusu Zhu Er.

"Teacher, what do you want to write?" A junior disciple saw Bai Zheng suddenly dazed, suddenly rose from silence, and leaned over his head in surprise.

There are so many strange literati, and there are people who want to sleep with their heads covering their heads before writing articles. What is the point of being dazed? A disciple who knows Bai Zheng’s habits smiled and prepared to say goodbye. From the length of Bai Zheng’s dazed today, another peerless article will appear in the "Peking Spring and Autumn" tomorrow.

"For Zhu Jiangyan to wash away the dirty dirty things, you guys, and you guys will go to contact newspapers in Peking, saying that I have an article to be published, so they must leave a publication for me in the next issue. If it is full, say I will pay them to add a print." Bai Zheng ordered anxiously that in order to defend the power of speaking, a Bo Chen fell down just now. He didn't want to see Zhu Er become a victim again, and he didn't want to see the knowledgeable man was heartbroken by the surging ignorance and no longer stick to the bottom line of innocent words. "Don't be idle either, hurry up and find Lord Xu, let these official figures write and argue for Lord Zhu. You can't see Zhu Er being so wronged."

"I'll recruit experts from the academy, and everyone writes together and fights against them. They will tell the lies to facts, and won't we clear Lord Zhu's innocence?" A student from the academy said in anger and turned around and ran downstairs.

Although Bai Zheng was withdrawn, his writing was still highly praised by the newspapers. The next day, almost all northern newspapers published Bai Zheng’s defense article for Zhu Er in a prominent position, and countless Confucians also spoke for the righteousness of the Gusu and Zhu Er. In the next half month, a debate storm began. The debate between the two sides was even more intense than when Bo Wenyuan was killed. However, as the center of the whirlpool, Gusu and Zhu Er would never see this wonderful confrontation that had arisen because of him.

The capital city is thousands of miles away from Beiping. The business method of the newspaper is that after the local publication, it is sent to another place to print and distribute again. When Bai Zheng saw the Jiangnan News, it was already the fourth day after the release of Jiangnan News. The article defending Zhu Er in the "Spring and Autumn of Beiping" was published in Jiangnan, eight days had passed since the storm occurred.

On the fifth day of the article in Jiangnan News, Zhu Er did not go to court. His good friend Zhou Wuyou organized people to search the capital and finally found the body of Zhu Er's body in front of Bo Wenyuan's tomb at Niushou Mountain. The calm-tempered Gusu Zhu Er's knees were crossed with a zither, hanging his head, and quietly slept under an osmanthus tree. The osmanthus in the sky covered his body, covering up the bruise that was thrown out by the people on his way home. The strong fragrance of flowers washed away all the noise, troubles, dirtyness and original sins in the world from Zhu Er's body. Occasionally, the breeze blew, and the strings could be stroked, as if there were a pair of hands in the world, continuing to write the unfinished composition.

It was a woodcutter who found Zhu Er, Gusu, inquired about the sound of the piano. The old man was afraid of possession of ghosts, so he did not dare to go forward and take a closer look. He reported the matter to the government trembled with dozens of bold constables to block the scene and report to Yingtian Mansion. Then Zhou Wuyou rushed there after hearing the news and promptly stopped the angry crowd from destroying Zhu Er's body again.

He committed suicide fearlessly and angry patriots pushed and were unwilling to give way to Zhou Wuyou and others. Everyone was punished by rioters and traitors, and even if they could not take action, they would spit on him.

"Everyone is dead, what else do you want?" King Chang Chengzu of Beihai led a group of Tai students into the crowd, lifted up the body of Zhu Er in Gusu and walked out. "If you have a genital, come up and fight with me first. If you win, I recommend you to go to the southwest to join the army, fight with the barbarians with real swords and guns." Chang Chengzu yelled and opened the way for everyone in front of him.

People feared his title of prince and did not dare to be too unreasonable to him. They reluctantly spread a gap and watched them leave.

"Bah," a onlooker spat a heavy sputum on the ground, as if hitting the face of Zhu Er of Su Su. "It is a good thing to collect Japanese pirates during negotiations, and presided over the customs to take kickbacks for foreign countries. He died of suicide. He committed suicide, which really made him cheaper."

"Yes, it should be cut into pieces, it's really a cheap one." People around him agreed.

"Do you have any evidence? Who has it? Take it out and show it to everyone. I will kowtow to apologize to everyone."! The little Beihai King suddenly turned around and questioned the onlookers!

He inherited Chang Mao's physique, which was already above everyone else. In his rage, he showed even taller and more powerful.

"I don't have it," the scholar closest to him retreated two steps and murmured: "But everyone says so! Everyone says so, is there any falsehood?" "Mr. Zhu presided over the customs and did a lot of good things for us. He shouldn't be a traitor," a businessman who was watching the fun murmured to himself, his voice was very small, and he couldn't stir up a few waves in the crowded voices.

Half a month later, the grief finally issued an order to confirm Zhu Er's innocence with the emperor's mouth. He gave Zhu Er the praises such as "following the late emperor, making great achievements, and working hard, and being pure and diligent" to Zhu Er as the mourning and honor behind him. He also gathered the proposals of all officials, awarded the title of King Huaiyuan and posthumously Zhongjing. His position was replaced by the emperor's brother-in-law, the son-in-law Geng Xuan. The power conflict between the Shibosi and the customs finally came to an end with the appointment of Prince Geng.

After the grand and grand funeral of Zhu Er in Suzhou, Zhou Wuyou, Minister of Works, took the initiative to write a letter to pray for the bones and handed over the power. Emperor Jianwen tried to keep him again and again, and saw that Zhou Wuyou had decided to leave, he approved his resignation. The former Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty acted quickly. On the third day of his resignation, he bought a boat and went south, hiding far away in Hainan Prefecture, Qiongzhou, and went further than being exiled to the criminals. After his successor Guo Ren took over the Ministry of Works, he immediately suspended the construction of facilities for the benefit of the people in all sizes and the whole country was to
