Chapter 258: Stirring Up Public Opinion, Coercing Public Opinion, Forcing The Holy Duke, And Sacrifi
Hearing Yan Changqing's final words, "Fifty-six generations of family slaves, twenty-three dynasties of ministers", both Kong Xixue, who was the contemporary Yan Shenggong of the Confucius family, and Kong Kebiao, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, all had expressions that changed. All white.
However, Yan Changqing did not let them go and said with a sneer:
"At that time, the Jin Kingdom and Xixia were attacked from both sides, and the Southern Song Dynasty court was forced to flee to the south."
"However, only the 47th generation descendant of Kong Sheng, Kong Duanyou, followed him and migrated away. The others who had no time to escape were detained by the Jin Kingdom in Shandong."
"As descendants of the Saint bloodline, the Kong family has received great favor from the emperor and the imperial court in the past dynasties.
"The successive heads of the Confucius family were canonized as Duke Yan by the emperor and the imperial court of the Northern Song Dynasty. They are representatives of the literati in the world. It can be said to be an endless honor!!!"
"It can be said that the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty imperial courts have failed the people of the world and other loyal ministers and generals, but they have not failed the Kong family!!!"
"Normally speaking, it was the time for the Kong family to serve the country with loyalty!!!"
"However, have you ever had the slightest bit of loyalty and patriotism in your Kong family?!!"
"How did you repay the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty?!!"
"In order to save their lives and glory, the detained Kong family members turned around and expressed their surrender to the Kingdom of Jin."
"So at that time, there were Kong Duanyou, the 47th generation grandson of Yanshenggong, who was registered in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Kong Fan, the 49th generation grandson of Yanshenggong who was registered in the Jin Dynasty, forming a confrontation between the northern and southern sects.
"But that's not all. When the Meng Yuan cavalry came to the Central Plains and saw such a situation, they even appointed a Yanshenggong themselves. This is the fifty-generation grandson of Yanshenggong Kong Yuan!!! "
"Three princes coexist and two sects stand side by side. Your Kong family is truly 'loyal to the emperor and patriotic'!!!"
"This is a king that you all are loyal to; this is a country that you all love!!!"
"As long as you are loyal to all emperors and love all countries, then you, the Kong family, will be loyal and patriotic, right?!!"
Bang!!!
At the end of the sentence, Yan Changqing kicked the table in front of him away and hit Kong Xixue directly on his feet.
Even though Kong Xixue couldn't help but cry out in pain, he couldn't stand still. He tripped over his own feet and accidentally knelt in front of Yan Changqing.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the high platform on the other side, couldn't help but his eyes turned cold after hearing Yan Changqing's words.
At first, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the Kong family, but now I realize that the Kong family is actually so “loyal to the emperor and patriotic”!
He is really loyal and patriotic!!!
Even the prince Zhu Biao, who had received orthodox Confucian education, could not help but show dissatisfaction at this moment.
As for the princes Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes who did not like Confucianism in the first place, they looked at Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao on the high platform opposite with great disgust.
Yan Changqing took three steps in a row and walked to Kong Xixue, who was kneeling on the ground, and Kong Keping, who was squatting down to help Kong Xixue up. He looked down at the two of them and said coldly:
"In the twelfth year of Chunyou of the Southern Song Dynasty (1252), which was the second year of Xianzong of Mongolia, Mongolia had destroyed the Jin Dynasty and occupied the north of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains. The Mongols were sweeping across the world.
It has the potential to become the new common master of the world. "
"The great Confucian scholars Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen of Qufu visited Kublai Khan and knelt down to call him the 'Grand Master of Confucianism'!!!"
"I'm going to kneel down and ask you!!!"
"Well, it's exactly the same as the way you kneel now!!!"
"Now I feel that what I said before about 'open holes on the outside and wide holes on the inside' is false. After all, this soft-headed appearance, if it weren't for the same blood of the Kong family, others would really be unable to kneel down!!"
Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao raised their heads and glared at Yan Changqing:
"you!!!"
However, before they could finish speaking, Yan Changqing interrupted again:
"Not yours, mine. It just so happens that one of you is the contemporary Yan Shenggong and the other is the Imperial Academy Jijiu."
"They are all knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, and they are all members of the Confucian family. Please explain it to me, no, to the people of the world."
"How did Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty who didn't even understand Chinese characters, become proficient in Confucian classics and even become a great missionary?!!"
“Could it be that Saint’s thoughts are really so great?!”
"Even people who don't know Chinese can be influenced by Saint's thoughts and become proficient in Confucian classics in an instant, and even become great masters of Confucianism!!!"
"If Saint's thought is really so capable, then please stop hiding or holding back the sacrificial wine and Yan Shenggong who inherited Saint's thought.
"At this moment, there are countless people here who are eager to be enlightened by Saint's thoughts, and the common people's requirements for Saint's thoughts are not high."
"I don't expect to be proficient in Confucian classics instantly, and I don't expect to become a great master of Confucianism."
"As long as you can make all the people of Yingtian Mansion who are listening in the room literate and understand the Four Books and Five Classics.
"Come, educate the people of the world with Saint's thoughts, isn't it your lifelong pursuit as Confucians?!!"
"Now the opportunity to educate the people of Yingtian Mansion is right in front of you, please start your education!!!"
Yan Changqing took a few steps back, stretched out his arms, and signaled to Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao to start educating the people of Yingtianfu.
The sound transmission warrior on the side spread the words Yan Changqing just said through the loudspeaker without missing a single word.
Suddenly, the originally silent people of Yingtian Mansion became excited at this moment. Countless people could not help but say:
"Hey, Saint's ideological enlightenment, hurry up and educate Lao'zi, Lao'zi happens to not know a single Chinese character, Lao'zi also wants to become a scholar!!!"
"That Yuan Shizu didn't even understand Chinese characters, but he was able to become proficient in Confucian classics and become a great master of Confucianism in an instant under the influence of Saint's thoughts.
"I know how to write my own name. Isn't that much better than him?"
"If I can be educated by Saint's thoughts, then I can more or less be like the same Confucian master!!!"
"Saint's ideological enlightenment, don't sleep, kid, hurry up and prepare to receive Saint's ideological enlightenment, and take the exam for the top prize in the future!!!"
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that one day I would become literate. I can't wait to be enlightened by those Saint's thoughts!!!"
On the high platform, Yan Changqing looked up to the sky and shouted:
"enlightenment!!!"
The sound transmission warrior on the side also roared loudly towards the loudspeaker:
"enlightenment!!!"
The voices of the people from all directions are getting louder and louder, gradually forming a unified discourse:
"enlightenment!!!"
"enlightenment!!!"
"enlightenment!!!"
The mighty sound was simply shocking to Yunxiao.
Even though it was Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on another high platform, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as other civil and military officials.
At this moment, hearing the deafening cries of the people, everyone could not help but look horrified.
Such a scene and such a cry are simply horrifying!
Song Lian, who was the head of the civil servants below, couldn't help but shout when he saw this scene:
"It's over, it's over, it's over..."
If a reasonable explanation cannot be given to the people of Yingtian Mansion today, then the status of Saint's thoughts in the hearts of the people of Yingtian Mansion will inevitably be reduced to the lowest level, or even disappear!
Even after today, the people of Yingtian Mansion will no longer respect Saint’s thoughts!!!
As for using Saint's thoughts to instantly educate a group of people in Yingtian Mansion, making them all literate, and even reading through the Four Books and Five Classics, Song Lian never thought about it.
Just because the people of Yingtian Mansion are fools, does not mean that he is also a fool.
Such a thing, let alone Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao, even if the real Kong Saint is resurrected, cannot do it!!!
Otherwise, Saint Kong would have fulfilled his great wish to educate the world.
【Is this the terror that has gripped public opinion?!!】
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the enthusiastic and excited people around him, and then at Yan Changqing on the high platform in front, his eyes were deep and silent.
Yan Changqing had been telling him before about the importance of having the right to speak in public opinion, and the horror of creating speech, stirring up public opinion, and coercing public opinion, but he never felt it too deeply.
However, now I see that Yan Changqing stirred up public opinion among the people with just a few words, and even more so, he even suppressed the people's public opinion and pushed Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao to a desperate situation.
In an instant, I deeply understood the importance of having the right to speak in public opinion, and the terror of stirring up public opinion and coercing it.
If one day someone stirs up public opinion among the people, or even coerces such public opinion to force the imperial court, I am afraid that even he will have to temporarily compromise to prevent the Kang rebellion!
[The emperor and the imperial court must have the right to speak in public opinion. Such a right to speak in public opinion can never be left to the control of Confucian people!!!]
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao on the high platform in front of him, his eyes getting colder.
Under the same kind of noise and public opinion, other Confucian students and literary students did not dare to speak at all, for fear that they would be buried alive by a group of fanatical people if they said the wrong thing.
Furthermore, even if they want to speak, since they are only one or two out of ten scholars present, it is impossible to overshadow the public opinion of the people.
Often, as soon as Confucian students (Li Li Zhao) and literary scholars opened their mouths, their words were drowned in the vast voice of the people, and they could not make any waves at all.
On the high platform, Kong Xixue stood up again with Kong Kebiao's support and looked around.
The common people on the second and third floors of various restaurants, as well as the common people in all directions on Hongwu Street, were looking at them feverishly at this moment, shouting enlightening voices repeatedly in their mouths.
The mighty sound waves, like a series of turbulent waves, kept hitting them hard, leaving them with nowhere to hide in the sky and on the earth!!!
Now, they are like a helpless boat in the sea, with the possibility of capsizing at any time.
The mighty voice of "enlightenment" forced them to either give the common people an acceptable explanation, or to "enlighten" the common people with Saint's thoughts on the spot!!!
If they cannot do this, then today's turbulent public opinion will completely drown them, and even make them unable to stand up again!!!
Under the bombardment of this heavy sound, both Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao were sweating. After a while, the front and back of their chests were soaked with cold sweat.
