Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

"Your Majesty, we are writing this petition in a joint letter.

This new imperial examination is unacceptable!
Those heresies are harmful to the country and the people.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil and people will be uneasy.

The country is unstable.

The teachings of sages cannot be abandoned, and the books of sages cannot be abandoned even more!
Without the books of sages, people’s hearts will inevitably be confused.

There’s going to be a big problem!”

Liu Sanwu and many other people, carrying the statue of Mencius, the second sage, gathered here with great momentum.

There are tens of thousands of people.

Many scholars gathered here, preparing to reach the heaven through this method.

They are forcing the emperor to abdicate!

The purpose is to gather together and force Zhu Yuanzhang to change the measures that have already been issued.

Listen to them and get back on the path they want to see most.

Of course, these demands of theirs are not expressed so directly.

It is obvious that many of them are only pursuing their own interests.

But what he said was all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of Zhu Yuanzhang's being the emperor.

There is absolutely no selfishness in it. It is all for the country, for the common people, for the country and for the inheritance of China.

It was as if it was just a reform of the imperial examination system, and if they didn't follow their instructions and correct these mistakes, the country would be destroyed immediately.

According to the understanding of Liu Sanwu and many others, after so many people gathered here and made such a massive move.

The court must be extremely nervous.

They would soon be able to see the Emperor.

The emperor must give them an answer personally.

But the actual situation was very different from what they had imagined before.

They have been gathered here for nearly an hour.

Keep shouting here.

Later on, even many people began to recite the classics of Confucius and Mencius aloud.

However, the court was still quiet and the gates of the imperial city were not opened.

It seemed as if he was completely unaware of what was happening.

This made many of them feel like they were punching into cotton.

And as time goes by, more and more people are becoming impatient.

At the same time, there was also movement.

However, there were a large number of fully armed soldiers and horses coming over.

Just surround all of them!

Such a scene made many people's eyelids twitch and many people were frightened.

However, Liu Sanwu and others remained calm in the face of danger, and continued to loudly express their demands and speak like sages.

As a result, people's hearts soon became stable again.

Then do what they think is right.

What would happen if the imperial court dispatched some troops at this time?
It's just a scare tactic.

Do you really dare to do anything to them?
They are now, so many people gathered here.

Moreover, they are all scholars with noble status and superior position.

There is also a statue of Mencius, the second sage, here.

Which of these people dares to act recklessly?

Even if these soldiers were given a hundred courages, they would never dare to disrespect them!
And what happened next seemed to be just as they had imagined.

The large number of troops that came didn't really do anything to them.

They just stood by with weapons in hand, keeping the encirclement in place.

No further action.

This made them feel more at ease.

They knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was just trying to scare them.

So, they continued with their previous actions.

It seemed as if they had already surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

Those who chanted slogans shouted even louder.

The sound of reciting the holy books also became louder and louder.

But the emperor, who they imagined would appear soon, still showed no signs of coming out.

This made some people become more impatient.

After about another hour, many people could no longer wait.

The slogans they shouted became more and more intense.

There were even many people who directly pointed the finger at Han Cheng, the Marquis of Xingguo.

They shouted and demanded that the emperor hand over Han Cheng, a man who spread false information and misled the people.

Some even called for the execution of Han Cheng.

It was under this circumstance that Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, appeared.

He held an imperial edict in his hand.

When he came here, he pointed his finger.

The soldiers who had been motionless and as still as clay sculptures suddenly shouted in unison: "Silence!!!"

The voices merged into one, mixed with a lot of murderous aura, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

All of a sudden, the momentum of many scholars was stagnant.

The situation, which was previously very exciting and turbulent, suddenly became quiet.

Duke Cao looked at everyone with cold eyes.

Then he unfolded the imperial edict and read:

The emperor was sent to heaven to carry the order, and the edict said:
You who are studying, please disperse quickly.

Don't be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.

Confucianism alone could not have developed the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has reached its current state and needs drastic reforms.

We haven't blocked your path to the imperial examinations.

We have given it three years, and in the future these teaching materials will be distributed all over the world.

You can study and read as much as you want.

You can still participate in new scientific expeditions in the future.

If you are talented, you will not be afraid of these challenges.

Just keep doing it.

At that time, as long as you have the ability, you can still pass the imperial examination and become an official.

Within one stick of incense from the time the imperial edict was issued.

You all should disperse immediately.

Anyone who refuses to leave will be charged with treason and may be killed!

We'll chop you all to pieces, so stop crying out for justice here!

Admire this! "

Here, Duke Cao read out Zhu Yuanzhang's unique imperial edict.

This sounds like it really came from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

It’s authentic and has not been processed at all.

This kind of article full of plain language also has another advantage.

That is to ensure that everyone present can understand what Zhu Yuanzhang means.

So as not to misunderstand.

After this imperial edict was issued, it immediately caused an uproar among many people.

Many people think that the emperor's edict is completely false.

The emperor was completely bewitched by this evil man, Han Cheng.

Some people want to leave.

But there are people here who are shouting loudly, saying that even if there are tens of thousands of people against them, I will go.

We must remain steadfast and continue to fight on this matter.

As for all this, Duke Cao Li Wenzhong simply ignored it.

After reading the imperial edict, he climbed onto a temporary platform.

I lit a stick of incense myself and inserted it here, and the timer started immediately.

This kind of action made many people feel a little scared.

Somewhat retreated.

But at this time, so many people gathered here, and they were powerful in numbers.

They also felt that the emperor was the most powerful person and could only scare them.

Just catch some of the ones who stick out.

The punishment will not be too severe.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was always cruel, it would be absolutely impossible for him to dare to attack so many of them at once.

What's more, they are all scholars!
If Zhu Yuanzhang really dared to do this, he would be in great danger of being condemned by the world.

There will definitely be a big mess!
It's definitely not pleasant.

Plus, there are so many people here at this time.

If you really retreat, you will never be able to raise your head among the scholars in the future.

It will inevitably be laughed at and looked down upon by many people.

Because of this, more noises soon erupted here, and the momentum seemed to be even louder than before.

Li Wenzhong was unmoved by this and just stood there.

The body is straight.

Waiting for time to pass by little by little.

As time went by, some people in the crowd began to back off...

"Second brother, what are you pulling me for?"

"Brother, let's go. Don't get involved here. What's going on today is not right!"

"What's wrong? Good will prevail over evil!
Even the emperor would never dare to take action against us!"

The Confucian scholar who was being pulled spoke out with some dissatisfaction.

There was extreme confidence in his voice.

"Brother, things are different!
Other emperors might not dare to do so, but Emperor Hongwu was different.

These are real people who survived the war.

The means are tough.

Maybe this will really happen!

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Didn’t you see that Duke Yansheng didn’t get involved in this matter?
Let’s not get involved.”

As he spoke, he pulled his elder brother out with force.

"Second brother! Let me go!
If you do this, we will become the laughing stock of Shilin!
You will never be able to raise your head again!"

“That’s better than losing your life!

The imperial edict has made it very clear.

Anyone who does not leave after one stick of incense has passed will be treated as a traitor!"

As he spoke, he carried his brother on his shoulders without further ado.

Push outside.

Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of some scholars.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.

Hearing such mockery, the person being carried struggled even harder.

When he found he couldn't break free, he simply covered his face with his sleeves.

"Second brother, you...you really made me suffer!"

After the two men left, some people covered their faces and left amid the mocking voices...

When these people leave, there are always some mocking sounds, some cursing sounds, etc.

There were even some with hot tempers who took direct action and beat up those who were leaving!

Some people are actually preparing to leave.

But seeing those who left being treated like this.

For a moment, I suppressed this impulse.

Looking at the statue of the second sage Mencius standing in front of him, the thoughts in my heart gradually became firm.

They bet on Zhu Yuanzhang and would never dare to act rashly.

We absolutely don't dare to arrest so many of them.

Even if they catch him, it would be just a symbolic act at best.

I dare not really punish them.

And in this stalemate, time passed little by little.

Soon, the time of one stick of incense was up.

After the last bit of ash fell down.

Duke of Cao Li Wenzhong drew out the sword from his waist with a clang.

He pointed forward and said, "All soldiers, listen to my orders!

Catch the rebels!

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot without mercy! ! "

Following his order, the numerous soldiers who were ready to go immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

This kind of action suddenly confused many readers.

No... these people are actually serious?!

How dare these soldiers attack these noble scholars?
Is Zhu Yuanzhang crazy?

There are so many of them, but even the statue of Mencius, the second sage, is here.

How dare they do such disrespectful things in front of the ancestors?!
Then, some people started to shout and curse and began to resist.

I feel that these people don't dare to really do anything to them.

Although it was said that anyone who resisted would be killed on the spot.

But their identities and status are different from those of ordinary people after all.

However, they then discovered that they were absolutely wrong.

Faced with the resistance of these scholars, the soldiers did not hesitate at all.

All were carried out in accordance with the orders given by Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao.

He thrust the spear in his hand forward.

In just a short period of time, dozens of people screamed and fell in a pool of blood, lifeless.

Many people were also injured.

He fell to the ground and trembled.

After seeing blood and death.

Many people here discovered a fact with great horror.

That means the emperor is serious this time.

These stinky soldiers really dare to kill them!

After confirming this fact, many people became particularly cowardly.

Some people collapsed to the ground, their legs too weak to stand up.

Someone was so scared that he peed his pants.

Some people tried to escape in panic.
However, those who escaped were killed on the spot without exception.

At this time, those who were mocking were extremely enthusiastic and especially despised those who had left before.

I also began to feel extremely regretful.

They regretted why they stayed here for those false reputations before.

Don't leave with those people.

This is just great!

This time I'm really screwed!

Who could have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was such a talented assassin.

It's so brutal.

To attack so many distinguished scholars at once.

How dare he? !

Liu Sanwu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Fight hard here.

But there was nothing special about him at this moment.

He was also killed on the spot!

His status as a minister in the court was the same as that of an ordinary person at this time.

Amid the pungent smell of blood, this abdication attempt by tens of thousands of scholars was quickly suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

There wasn't much splash.

After one or two hundred people died, the remaining scholars were captured by soldiers and taken to prison.

Where is the previous spirit?
How dare we make the slightest movement?

Everyone has become very honest.

Many people have been frightened silly.

I regret coming here and getting involved in this matter...

……

Duke Yansheng has already gone to seek an audience with Zhu Yuanzhang.

And was received by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, the contemporary Yansheng Duke had obtained such a result.

His knees went weak and he knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

And admit the mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and laughed, "You are a man of insight.

You did the right thing this time.

How can we possibly punish you?
Stand up! "

Duke Yansheng knelt on the ground and expressed his great admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang's new imperial examination textbooks and system before he stood up.

Breaking into a cold sweat.

At the same time, I am also extremely fortunate.

At this time, I made the right choice.

Otherwise, my family might not feel very well this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang then issued an order: "Mencius, the second sage, did not stay in the temple and participated in the rebellion, intending to attack the palace.

From today onwards, his title of Second Sage will be abolished.

You are not allowed to stand in the Confucian Temple anymore..." (End of this chapter)
