"Freedom? I am not interested in this. As long as I am never hungry in the world and no more poor people, if it can be achieved, it doesn't matter even if there is no freedom."

Tang Aiming replied at this time.

He is a refugee and still remembers the feeling of starvation now.

In addition, the education he received was a new type of education that seeks prosperity for everyone in the world.

Therefore, he was indeed not interested in the freedom rights mentioned by Zeng Jingyun and other scholars in Jiangnan.

"The people are the most important, the king is the least, and the country is the next! As everyone knows today, the people are the first to govern the world, but today, the king is the main body, and all the people are still governed by the orders of the king. Even the scholars and officials cannot get any freedom! They are still the most important, and the people are the least important. Is such a court really the wish of the public?"

Zeng Jingyun asked Tang Aiminglai as he said that.

"Why, are you overthrowing the court and wanting to rebel?"

Tang Aiming asked directly.

"No! We just want the court to reform and ask the Taiwan Strait to convey the opinions of the people in Jiangnan. In addition, please return to Beijing and not continue to go south and disturb the scholars and people in Jiangnan!"

Zeng Jingyun replied.

"Just rely on you, I am so embarrassed to represent the opinions of the Jiangnan people?"

Tang Aiming asked with a sneer, then ordered: "Come here! These scholars are ill-behaved, so they will be held down and temporarily put in prison. When Your Majesty arrives, you will directly ask Your Majesty to decide!"

Zeng Jingyun was shocked after hearing this: "Making the platform! Why are you so ignorant? You only know how to flatter the king and father, but you can't listen to the truth at all, and you even have to punish us!"

Tang Aiming was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and left here directly.

For the current scholar-official class of the Ming Dynasty, two relatively opposed ideas did appear.

It is probably because of the impact of opening up the sea and industrial development that Yi Sect began to propose people-oriented free thinking, and was dissatisfied with Daming's current master system.

Because the court always issued various political orders to suppress the freedom of private commercial activities.

The other faction advocates limiting freedom, and even the current government orders issued by Zhu Youxiao that restrict various commercial activities and even cultural aspects are all led by them.

Because these people feel that through investigation and personal experience, excessively free business activities are actually expanding the gap between the rich and the poor!

The rich family smells of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death. This has always been a phenomenon that many conscientious scholars in China do not want to see, otherwise there would be no such poems.

Therefore, these people took the initiative to ask the court to intervene and forcefully intervene in the name of the king.

Tang Aiming naturally belongs to the latter.

Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao would not have placed him in the position of Governor of Jiangnan.

"This Tang Aiming, it will be fine if he does this, but I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next."

Zhu Youxiao said something after receiving Tang Aiming's report.

"What Your Majesty said is that these scholars who were influenced by Huang Zongxi and other ideas are afraid that they will not be able to stop, but they are afraid that there are also mixed quality and mixed fish and dragons. They really think that it is not good to worship a king in the world, and they also want to break the current situation of being bound by the court and unable to merge freely in the name of the throne."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"In recent years, Daxing education has added many scholars, some who actively seek new ideas for the great masters of the world, and some who cannot freely merge and become selfish. Both have increased with the increase of scholars, so the differences have become more and more obvious! I believe that the court should better deal with it well and not allow it to develop, and gradually become a trend of party struggles. In the late years of Emperor Shenzong, the style of scholars in the world became worse."

Wen Tiren replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is extremely true. Nothing in the world is new. We must try our best to deal with it in a civilized way, not in armed battles, not to engage the people in the process of participating in the process, or even coerce officials to win over the army to participate, which leads to war and even to ruin state affairs."

When Zhu Youxiao was about to arrive in Nanjing, outside the Nanjing Railway Station, there were already full of scholars and people coming from all over the south of the Yangtze River.

However, the scholars are the ones standing in front.

Many of these scholars raised the flag of "injustice" and waited for the emperor to appear to avenge them.

They cried for justice for Zeng Jingyun and others to be imprisoned by Governor Tang Aiming.

Of course, some scholars raised the slogan and flag of "Reform".

There are even slogans and flags that "please return your Majesty to the people for freedom."

These scholars were naturally also a group of liberal scholars who advocated freedom and restricted monarchy and gave local autonomy.

But shortly after these liberal scholars raised these flags, there were also many scholars from civilians or small landlords and small merchant families.

These are the great lords who supported the imperial court to formulate more strict orders and control capital expansion, that is, they believed in the great lords of the world.

Therefore, after the slogans of these liberal scholars appeared, some scholars from the Grand Duke said angrily: "These disciples of Huanglizhou really hate them. They also wanted to promote their paradox in front of the throne. They did not want freedom, but clearly wanted to be able to merge at will! If the court had not explicitly prohibited land transactions, the acres of land in my family would have been taken away by them!"

When Gong Tingxiang called Gong Tingxiang, he couldn't help but go up and pull off the banner of a liberal scholar called Wan Weishu and said, "Can you want some shame? The name of the people seeking freedom is actually just to make the world the world of you. Do you think that if you fool a few selfish people, you can fool the emperor?!"

"Who do you say is selfish and who is shameless? We can give your words to His Majesty, and you need to interfere?!"

Wan Weishu was furious and pushed Gong Tingxiang.

"Who doesn't know that your Wan family is a large family in Shangyuan County. They rely on more than 100,000 acres of land to collect rent. The land rent has been higher and higher in recent years. Now the court strictly prohibits privately from increasing the land rent, and organizes a farmer association to fight against you, forcing your Wan family to eliminate slaves. They dare not live too arrogantly! You are looking for your Majesty for freedom now, but I am afraid that you want your Majesty to continue to exploit tenant farmers without restrictions, right?"

Gong Tingxiang also started to push and talk.

Bang!

But at this time, a liberal scholar named Dong Run punched Gong Tingxiang: "I told you nonsense! I have been tolerating you for a long time. You are the organizer of my farmer association. In the past, I was just my tenant farmer. I rely on the free education of the court to have the opportunity to study, and I even organized the tenant farmer to refuse to pay the winter food! I won't beat you to death today!"

"Beat him, beat him to death, beat these dogs and bastards who are engaged in farm associations. Even these low-court boys who are born in the countryside deserve to be called scholars? deserve to be called scholars?!"

A group of liberal scholars shouted.

Dong Run became more and more excited, and he and Wan Weishu and others really beat Gong Tingxiang up.

"Damn it, why dare you bully our Yingtian Normal School, and the classmates at Yingtian Normal School, stand up and do it!"

Now the Ming Dynasty has established a series of new schools in the local area, and the Yingtian Normal School is a higher school built by the imperial court in Nanjing.

Gong Tingxiang is a scholar from this school.

As his classmate, Xu Xian shouted after seeing this scene, and rushed over to participate in the beating to help Gong Tingxiang.

Other scholars from Yingtian Normal School also joined after hearing this.

Not long after, more and more people were on both sides.

Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by a group of officials in Nanjing, saw this scene as soon as he left the train station: "What happened?"
Chapter completed!
