Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 233 Confucian Confucianism is defeated!What?Is this stinky tofu really delicious?Xie Jin's scheme!

As the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly stiffened.

The people followed the reputation.

It was discovered that those who slandered Master Qingtian were a group of Confucian scholars wearing square hats and Confucian shirts.

There is a little difference between Confucian scholars and ordinary scholars.

Although ordinary scholars also study Confucianism, they enter the court and become officials for the sake of getting ahead, changing their own destiny, and strengthening their families.

Confucian scholars, on the other hand, were neither officials nor engaged in production.

You can live by relying on the fields left by your ancestors.

The main research is Confucianism, and they mainly wear black cloaks and Confucian shirts to show their knowledge and morality.

This time, more than half of the people who came to the capital from other places to try to prevent the change of the imperial examinations were Confucian scholars, and the other half were the children of noble families from all over the country.

Confucian scholars are masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth.

He has a high status in the local area, and he is not afraid of even officials, and dares to say anything.

But obviously, they underestimated Li Xiao's prestige among the common people in Beiping.

Before Li Xiao opened his mouth.

A group of ordinary people, men, women and children rolled up their sleeves one after another and rushed over.

Immediately, the group of people was tightly surrounded, and a few courageous men had already picked up the collars of the Confucian scholars.

"What are you doing, in broad daylight"

The Confucian scholars suddenly panicked, their clothes were disheveled, and they were in a panic.

"What did you just say? Apologize quickly!"

"Damn it, this is someone from other places, how dare you say that about us Master Qingtian?"

"If these few people can walk out of this street today, I will write it backwards!"

The common people glared at each other, criticized and demanded an apology.

"You... what are you doing, and you didn't mention you"

These Confucian scholars from other places had never seen such a scene before, and they were suddenly at a loss.

"It doesn't matter to us! You insult our Lord Qingtian, you just can't do it!"

A man with a big temper immediately slapped one of the Confucian scholars with a 'slap'.

"How do you hit someone?"

The Confucian scholar covered his face, feeling extremely humiliated.

"Okay! Okay! This is the so-called Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty who connives at the evil people and commits crimes!"

A Confucianist was furious and shouted: "In broad daylight, is there still the law of the king, is there still the law of heaven? It is really a disaster for the world if the Ming Dynasty governs such a person!"

Seeing this group of Confucian scholars deflated, Li Xiao laughed, walked over and said, "Okay, everyone, don't get excited. It's wrong to hit someone, everyone must abide by the rules and laws, so-and-so, apologize to him .”

Hearing this, the beating man snorted, put down his hands, rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

The Confucian scholar who was beaten couldn't help saying angrily: "What's the use of such an insincere apology!"

"It would be nice to apologize to you. Believe it or not, I will slap you again?"

That man was a pig butcher, with a fierce look on his face, his brows were raised up like a king's angry eyes, and the Confucian scholar was scared back two steps, not daring to say more.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "That person apologized to you just now, shouldn't you apologize to me now? Don't blame me for not reminding you that you will be detained for ten days if you slander someone's reputation in Beiping."

The leader of the Confucian scholar named Lu Kuo looked at Li Xiao and said, "Today I was waiting here to tell the truth, but I was treated like this by a group of people. It really chills the hearts of scholars all over the world. Is this how you are a national teacher? ?”

Li Xiao spread his hands, "Is there a problem? Look at this prosperous Beiping, it's all done by me. Couldn't this stop your mouths?"

Lu Kuo said: "In ancient times, those who wished to manifest morality in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first ordered their families; those who wanted to order their families first cultivated their bodies; those who wanted to cultivate their bodies first rectified their minds; Those who want to rectify their hearts must first be sincere in their intentions;”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Your mind is not right, how can you straighten your heart, how can you cultivate yourself, how can you manage your family, how can you control the world! Even if you have some small achievements in governing this Beiping, it is nothing but collapse The etiquette system uses dirty methods."

"You are slandering."

Li Xiao wasn't angry at all, instead he smiled and said, "Why am I not thinking right? How did I break the etiquette system?"

The people shouted, "Yes! If you don't tell me why, I will escort you to the official."

Lu Kuo thought for a while, and said loudly: "You still said that there is no broken ritual system, and now even Confucianism has to be abolished, benevolence, wisdom, propriety, etiquette, and faith. Fa, can control the people of the world?"

"Who said I canceled Confucianism?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Not only did I not abolish Confucianism, but the schools I run let people all over the world learn Confucianism. Everyone understands benevolence, wisdom, propriety, etiquette, and faith. Isn't that good?"

Lu Kuo's face changed, and he said loudly: "What kind of Confucianism are you teaching? Do you understand Confucianism? It's an insult to us. Nobility, nobility, seniority, relatives and estrangement have their own etiquette.

You don't distinguish between noble and humble, and teach them all indiscriminately.

The common people should farm the land instead of learning Confucianism here. How can he learn it well? It will only tarnish Confucianism! !
Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, brothers, younger brothers, husbands and wives, the people of Beiping, regardless of high or low, male or female, are all crowded on this street. It is rare to see through the ages. Disgraceful! !
Your so-called academy even teaches some things of the highest quality, which is degrading to the gentlemen! "

After listening to it, a man scolded: "Gentle scum, you are the ones who insult the gentleness, we ordinary people deserve to cultivate the land, and support you group of high-ranking scholars?"

"Yes!" Immediately, the people filled with righteous indignation shouted: "When I saw you today, I realized how great things our Master Qingtian of Beiping has done. Reading is not a privilege that you should have. It's not fair!"

"Yes! It's not fair!! Master Qingtian has brought us fairness! We will defend him!"

The people shouted loudly.

Another Qingshan student from Peking, who was also a scholar, shouted:
"Let me be fair. I am also a scholar, but now I think Master Qingtian did the right thing. Confucius has something to say, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning. Why do you have to divide the classes so clearly! Today, Beiping has enough food and clothing, and lives and works in peace and contentment. You people For those from outside, it is better to learn more before talking.”

Several Qingshan students from Beiping said: "I also support Master Qingtian, why should there be distinctions between the noble and the humble, as human beings, everyone should be treated the same. No one is worse than anyone else!"

One of the Qingshan students said: "Confucianism has not been abolished, it teaches us benevolence, wisdom, propriety, wisdom and faith, but the problem is that Confucianism cannot be used for more practical affairs. Regarding the imperial examination, Master Qingtian added some subjects, also for the sake of obtaining all-round talents. In the future, do good things and do practical things.”

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao was a little relieved, it's not bad, some scholars have spoken for him, and it's not in vain for me to popularize education in Beiping.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Well said! You are the real scholars, and scholars should learn knowledge, serve the public well, apply what they have learned, and serve the country. Unlike these people, who are full of money and don't engage in production. What's the use?"

"Absurd!" Lu Kuo retorted: "Scholars don't farm, sow, or reap; they don't work, they don't do business, they don't fight. The duty of a scholar."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "The prosperity of Beiping all uses my brainpower. Tell me, where are your brains used?"

Lu Kuo said: "I have spent my whole life studying the truth of the Dao, how can ordinary people imagine the profound meaning in it."

Li Xiao smiled: "Ah, yes, yes, you study great principles, I am an ordinary person, you are noble, ah bah, you have read a lot of books one by one, what is the use, except to come out and accuse others of causing trouble, it is useless."

Hearing this, the common people also ridiculed: "A group of idiots will talk about it, and they can do whatever they want, eating No. 1."

Hearing this, the Confucian scholars blushed and were furious.

A few students from Beiping couldn't see it either, and said, "Master Qingtian is right. Scholars of my generation should serve the country and the people. Confucianism alone is no longer enough. We should learn new knowledge."

The few Confucian scholars couldn't help but look at the scholars in Beiping, and cursed: "It's over, it's over, if this continues, you will be brainwashed. This national teacher's ability to deceive people is really powerful."

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "You say that I am deceiving people, do you have evidence?"

Lu Kuo said: "Today's event is the evidence. When you say stinky tofu is fragrant tofu, so many people should say it is fragrant. How is it different from calling a deer a horse? Everyone is bewitched by you!"

Li Xiao sneered and said, "You are scholars in vain, don't you understand the truth that what you see is true and what you hear is nothing? Whether it smells good or bad, you will know if you taste it yourself."

The Confucian scholar scolded: "Let me wait to eat this stinking thing. You are insulting us. Even if you die, you will not take a bite."

"Since that's the case, I'd like to send you a word. In ancient times, Zhao Kuo talked about military affairs on paper, but now there are corrupt scholars who talk about it."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "You guys just have some kung fu in your mouth, don't use it in practice, and don't even have the courage to try to pursue the truth. I think it's right to break the pattern of Confucianism's dominance and abolish the imperial examination. It must be done!"

"Okay! Master Qingtian said it well!"

clap clap clap-

The people cheered one after another, and the audience applauded!
"The devil, this man is the devil."

This group of Confucian scholars felt that their world view had been severely damaged, as if they were among a group of demons and ghosts who distorted their thinking.

From their perspective, the world looks like this:

The ritual system is the sky, and there is no difference between the superior and the inferior. The common people keep their own place, cultivate and multiply.

And they pursue the principles of the great way to consolidate the world.

In the past, it has always been like this.

But after coming to Peiping, everything changed, and the world became unsightly!
Today, he was even besieged by a group of unscrupulous people who didn't understand etiquette and didn't know what to do.

The Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty can turn black and white with a single word, and their original intention is to help these people get rid of the evil, but these people are helping the tyrant to do evil, and turn against themselves! !

"Hurry up, this kind of monster is not something we can deal with, only a respected master can deal with him"

The group of Confucian scholars panicked and wanted to slip away.

"Where to go?"

Several big men with arms akimbo blocked their way.

"Why, do you want to force me to wait?"

Lu Kuo glared at each other.

At the moment, Confucian scholars confront the common people.

Seeing this, Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand. "Let them go, so as not to say that this official is bullying others and slandering others everywhere."

If these people are allowed to beat someone because of themselves, will they be punished or not?
The laws of Peking still have to be enforced, and Li Xiao will not break this rule.

Morality constrains behavior, and law regulates behavior. Only by working together can the people be governed well.

"Okay, listen to Lord Qingtian, you are lucky today."

Several men snorted and got out of the way.

"What am I waiting to slander, that is the truth, the heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman"

The Confucian scholars fled like bereaved dogs, but they still cursed hard before leaving.

What's the difference between this and someone who loses a fight? The people booed from behind.

Those Confucian scholars who fled were all red-faced, and their hearts were finished. The national teacher has brought disaster to the country and the people, and it is worse than Na Daji. The world is going to be in chaos!
That's it.

The farce ended here.

Li Xiao waved his hand to let the people disperse.

He led the horse back to the Duke's Mansion.

The news spread quickly, and this matter soon became the talk of the common people after dinner. In addition, the newspaper reporter immediately went back to write a manuscript, and I am afraid it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

as predicted.

The next day, the Peking Daily reported the matter.

It is said that the Duke of the State was insulted by a group of Confucian scholars, and the common people were filled with righteous indignation and complained one after another.

Afterwards, the stinky tofu shop's business boomed.

Everyone wants to have a taste, whether this stinky tofu smells stinky and tastes delicious.

Zhao He from the stinky tofu shop had already guessed that one person would never be too busy, so the whole family went to battle overnight, and invited several fellow villagers to help prepare the materials.

On the second day, the stinky tofu was sold out, and the queue formed a long queue.

After the common people ate the stinky tofu, they all found it delicious, and they couldn't help complaining more about those Confucian scholars. The voices of the people were boiling, and they had the intention of driving these Confucian scholars out of Beiping.

Fortunately, the law and order in Beiping City is very good, and there are watchmen patrolling everywhere.

Otherwise, these Confucian scholars would not dare to walk on the street.

Xie Jin Mansion.

This Xie Jin was originally very favored by Zhu Di, but he was the chief assistant of the cabinet.

After coming to Peiping from Nanjing, Zhu Di gave him a big house to live in.

After resigning now, I couldn't help being a little annoyed that Zhu Di hadn't changed his mind to invite him back to the court after waiting for a long time.

"Sage Xie Jin, are you also worried about what happened yesterday?"

The two were playing chess, and the great scholar Kong Maoxue couldn't help asking when he saw the other party in a daze.

"Master."

Xie Jin came back to his senses, smiled apologetically and said, "I was thinking about something just now, sorry."

"We all underestimated Li Xiao's prestige in Beiping."

Kong Maoxue frowned and said: "I really didn't expect that this person has such a high voice among the people of Beiping. It is unimaginable and difficult to deal with."

Xie Jin also sighed: "Yes, there is an old saying that water can carry a boat and overturn it. The people are like water, and they are also the hearts of the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Li Xiao won the hearts of all people in Beiping, and his voice surpassed Emperor, this has already shaken the emperor's prestige. What I never expected is that the Supreme Emperor and the current Holy One are indifferent, which is puzzling!!"

This is also one of the ways Xie Jin wants to bring down Li Xiao.

You know, this kind of prestige is taboo in the eyes of the emperor.

But for some reason, this method doesn't seem to work.

"Don't panic, things will be reversed at extremes, which is an eternal truth."

Kong Maoxue's expression remained the same, he moved his hand, and cast a black spot, saying: "Heaven wants to make people die, they must first make them crazy. Li Xiao's road is not far away."

Lu Kuo, who was standing by the side, said: "Master, what you said is too right. You were not at the scene yesterday, and Li Xiao was so crazy that he responded all the time, calling a deer a horse, saying that stink is a fragrance, and the people are completely bewitched by him alone. If this person rebels, It must be able to respond to all calls. We will make a big fuss about it, and it will definitely move the heart of the current Holy One!"

Kong Maoxue nodded slightly: "Well, you did a good job yesterday. You dared to be the first, and you dared to speak the truth without fear of the power of the national teacher. This is what a scholar should do. You put life and death aside, and put the country and the country as the most important thing."

Lu Kuo cupped his hands: "I would like to listen to the words of the master."

At this time, a student hurried over and said anxiously: "Master, Master's newspaper"

He took a newspaper in his hand and handed it over: "Look, the newspaper smeared us, saying that the Confucian scholars were stubborn, and framed others indiscriminately, saying that the stinky tofu is delicious."

Kong Maoxue asked, "What is a newspaper?"

The student said: "It's just such a piece of paper. There are various new stories published every day, which are called news. The common people will almost always buy a copy and take a look."

Kong Maoxue took the newspaper, and there were indeed various news and advertisements on it. He checked it carefully, and found out that this matter was reported. The page was very large and very conspicuous.

After he read it, he found that it was all about Confucian scholars, so he said displeased: "It turns out that he used such means to deceive people."

"Huh! This newspaper was founded by Li Xiao. It is really powerful. Who can beat him if he has mastered such means of public opinion." Xie Jin said angrily: "At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor wanted to take back the power of the newspaper, but he didn't know it later. Why, in the end it is still controlled by Li Xiao."

The student wondered: "However, just now when the student went to buy a newspaper, he found that many people on the street said that stinky tofu is delicious, and many people bought it."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Kong Maoxue was a little puzzled, Shen Ming said after a while: "In this case, why don't you buy a copy?"

The student shook his head and said, "It's too stinky, so I dare not buy it, and the student wears this Confucian shirt to buy stinky tofu. Wouldn't it be discovered and humiliated?"

Kong Maoxue's complexion darkened, and he said: "You have to sit upright, why should you be afraid? Go buy a copy and come back. I want to see what it tastes like."

"Yes."

The student hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then went to buy stinky tofu.

He immediately ran to the stinky tofu shop.

After queuing for an hour, I finally got it.

It was inevitable to suffer blank stares during the period. After buying it, I immediately ran away and returned to Xiejin's house.

"Master, I bought it back."

The student came running with stinky tofu, and the smell came before he got there.

When the stinky tofu was served, Xie Jin and Kong Maoxue pinched their noses in contempt.

The smell is the same as that of a latrine. They are all literati, and they think they are noble, so it is difficult to say anything, so Kong Maoxue ordered: "Take a sip."

The student hastily explained: "Master, I stood in line for an hour, and I was so hot that I almost passed out. I lost my appetite and couldn't eat."

Seeing this, Kong Maoxue looked at Lu Kuo and said, "Lu Kuo, come and taste."

Lu Kuo raised his head and said: "Master, yesterday I was humiliated by the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty because of this stinky tofu. I said on the spot that I would not eat it even if I died. If you let me taste this stuff today, it's not an insult to the students."

The great Confucian Kong Maoxue taught: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. No. I can't bear this little bit of suffering, how can I make a big deal?"

"This is Master"

Lu Kuo had no choice but to pick up the paper bowl, picked up the disposable wooden chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried stinky tofu tremblingly, pinched his nose, and took a bite with all his courage.

The others all stayed away, for fear that he would spit it out and spray it on his body.

"Um"

The stinky tofu is not smelly, but very fragrant, hot and sour, with a long aftertaste.

Lu Kuo was stunned, this stuff really smells bad and tastes delicious.

It's over, so to speak, the Japanese uttered nonsense that day, isn't the clown himself? ?
Kong Maoxue hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?"

Lu Kuo said: "It's over, master, this taste is not bad."

Everyone: "????"

Kong Maoxue showed a trace of panic, and hurriedly took the stinky tofu, tasted it himself, and was immediately stunned.

It's true, the taste is okay!
In this way, to make a fuss about pointing at a deer as a horse is to bring shame on yourself
"Not good. This really tastes delicious!"

Kong Maoxue said angrily: "You idiot, didn't you know how to taste it before talking? You still swore that the stuff smelled bad and could never taste good. Now that the public opinion is pointing at me, I'm afraid you are right. Already!"

Lu Kuo's eyes wandered, "Master, I"

All Confucian scholars present stood there dumbfounded.

Xie Jin also took it, took a sip, and immediately froze, feeling bad.

Originally, they had made a big move, but they were defeated before it even started.

"Oh no, it's a trick, I'm afraid it's Li Xiao's trick!"

Xie Jin clapped his hands and said: "This Li Xiao is quite busy on weekdays. How can I go to the stinky tofu shop in leisure time? If I don't go sooner or later, I will go there when I am in the capital. There are reporters recording this matter at the scene. It is definitely a discussion." Alright, wait for us to get into the set. It’s a good trick to attract money and deceive the world!”

The voice fell,

Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder so, everything is in Li Xiao's calculations, I am afraid that when everyone comes to the capital, he has already planned in secret, and he will act first.

This thing is specially used to make the common people stand on the opposite side of us.

"If this is Li Xiao's plan"

Kong Maoxue felt scared for a while, "This Li Xiao's wise plan is too terrifying, and the separation of calculations is not bad. We are all being played in the palm of our hands!"

Hearing this, the Confucian scholars were all shocked. It turned out that they lost half of the battle before they started fighting.
Xie Jin sat down slowly, and said: "Master, don't worry, it's a fox, and it will always show its feet."

At this time, one of Xie Jin's servants hurried over and whispered the news to Xie Jin.

After getting the news, Xie Jin was overjoyed, and then angrily said: "Damn! It's really hateful! Master, after receiving the news, Li Xiao actually recruited alchemists from all over the world, intending to include alchemists as masters in the university he is about to establish. Pass on the knowledge to the students of the world!!"

The voice fell,

The Confucian scholars present were furious!
"It's really a monster, it's all right to plot against me, and do such absurd things!"

"Absurd, too absurd! The alchemist is disastrous to the country and the people, and he actually does such a thing!"

"Li Xiao is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He also said that everyone in the world should understand benevolence, righteousness and morality. I think they are all excuses. He wants to cause cholera in the world and change Daming's surname to Li!"

"No matter how difficult it is, even if it is life-threatening, we will stop it!"

The Confucian scholars were filled with righteous indignation and raised their hands one by one.

Xie Jin thought about it, and he was overjoyed, and said: "This matter is urgent, and he must not be allowed to complete it. Everyone writes an article together to denounce Li Xiao with this matter. I don't believe that such an important matter will not alarm the Holy Majesty." , enough to make him fall from the altar!"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "In two days' time, it will be the day of the dragon boat competition. There will be countless people present, and we will be there to let the world know the ugly things Li Xiao wants to do!"

"Okay! We must let him show his true colors!"

Everyone responded one after another, and then went back to the house, took out their pens and inks, and condemned them with their mouths and pens!
the other side.

Duke's Mansion, House of Science.

As soon as this group of alchemists arrived, Li Xiao made clear arrangements for them.

Let them abandon the idea of ​​alchemy and work hard for him, salary is indispensable.

This group of alchemists were just doing their own thing, most of them were willing, and those who didn't were sent away by Li Xiao.

Then, Li Xiao asked Song Yingxing to give them lectures every day to change their minds.

These days, after Song Yingxing's lectures, a group of alchemists recruited by Li Xiao understood a lot of truths that they couldn't figure out before.

I also understand that some of the previous alchemy techniques are actually the laws of nature, not the skills of gods, but they just coincidentally conform to the laws of chemistry.

Recently, Song Yingxing is leading this group of alchemists to study the principle of friction power generation through junior high school physics and junior high school chemistry.

At this time, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe was pedaling a bicycle in the hall, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

This is their 1 experiments.

This bicycle is equipped with a device for generating electricity by friction.

Iron wires were connected at both ends, and tungsten wires were connected at both ends of the iron wires.

All of a sudden, with friction generating electricity, the tungsten filament lights up, as dazzling as the sun!
Shine in the dark room with the windows closed.

The whole house is brightened up! !
Who would have thought that the world's first luminous tungsten filament appeared in the hands of a group of alchemists in the Ming Dynasty
"It's on, it's on! The tungsten filament is on!!!"

"My God, if this thing can be developed, there is no need to light candles at night."

"Electricity, this is the energy of the lightning in the sky, I can control the lightning now!"

All the alchemists were excited, which is really amazing!
It turns out that their alchemy is just going astray, and this science is the right way in the world!
