Luo Zhijie also followed him at this time, gave an order, and then fired a shot at a scholar who was still fighting each other in front.

When the scholar also fell to the ground, he screamed.

Bang!

Then, gunfire sounded again.

Another soldier who was still fighting was shot dead.

The imperial court's iron fist comes as soon as possible.

These scholars were quite surprised.

But for this reason, the scholars near Tang Aiming and Luo Zhijie soon became honest and stood aside in a manner, regaining their gentle and kind-hearted scholar appearance, and were even a little nervous.

"Don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore! The official army is here, Your Majesty has an order. Those who take action will be killed without mercy!"

"Don't touch the King's Law!"

Some scholars also started to yell and began to voluntarily rectify order.

At this time, Xu Feng had to put aside his ideological prejudice and began to persuade scholars who had different ideas from him: "Don't you be dead? Stop it! The official army will come soon!"

But there are also scholars who are stubborn and turn a blind eye to the imperial fist and are determined to solve the problem violently.

At this time, Gao Dangui punched Xu Feng in the abdomen and said viciously: "I don't care. I must kill your surname Xu today. The thief is incompatible! You should die if you are inferior!"

Bang!

A bullet flew over.

Gao Dangui was shot in his temple on the spot, and blood spilled out.

Xu Feng also had the opportunity to sit on the ground, cover his stomach, and a painful expression on his face: "Damn it, what a fucking madman!"

"Who is the Han, who is the thief! A group of ignorant children, I will tell you who is the thief. Those who violate the law of the king and who do not obey the orders will be thieves!"

In history, he was the King of Jin in the Ming Dynasty. In this life, because refugees were incorporated and God did not bury people who were incapable, Li Dingguo, who became the Qianzong General of the Imperial Guards, led his troops over and roared, and after that, he raised his gun and pointed it at a scholar who was still trying to do something.

Seeing this, the scholar hurriedly withdrew his fist and retreated.

The other scholars present also became honest.

However, Gao Dangui was in a miserable state. At this time, he could only lie on the ground and vomit blood, and gradually lost his life.

"Come on, kill me! Let's see who dies first!"

Xu Du, a poor scholar who resolutely revolted because of the rebellion against officials and levies, was standing on a pile of corpses holding the sword of a literati who had rolled up his sword, and roaring at the people who were trying to besiege him, with a very ferocious face.

"I, Zuo, who killed Xu Du, will share half of my family property with him!"

At this time, among the group of scholars surrounding him, a scholar named Zuo Guangxian gritted his teeth and said.

Zuo Guang was a scholar from a gentry first, and he hated Xu Du, the poor scholars who did not agree with his freedom.

In addition, everyone is so angry that they can't care about so many things, but they just want to get rid of Xu Du so that they can avenge their classmates.

Therefore, after seeing that Xu Du is quite skilled in martial arts and that the people on his side have not succeeded in many attacks and killings, he simply issued a heavy reward order.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Some gangsters who were temporarily organized by Zuo Guangxian were greatly boosted, and they all came to Xu Du one by one.

"This is a master! I want this man! I will continue to give the order and use a bayonet to kill all those who besiege him!"

It happened that at this time, Li Dingguo had already rushed over with dozens of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard Battalion. Seeing this, he pulled out the Xiuchun Sword and ran over first, and stabbed Zuo Guangxian directly into Zuo Guangxian's back with a knife.

"ah!"

Zuo Guangxian felt a severe pain in his back, and was shocked. When he looked back, he saw that many officials had already come from behind him, and then he closed his eyes in confusion.

Xu Du also saw the officers and soldiers, quickly dropped the literati sword and ran into a private room next to him.

"I saw it. You didn't participate in the fight. You are defending yourself. Come out, we won't do anything to you!"

Li Dingguo shouted loudly outside at this time.

Xu Du was quite surprised that he did not participate in the fight? What was the body outside?

The other people who besieged Xu Du naturally had been eliminated one after another.

Not only these people, as long as the officials saw the soldiers who were still fighting and chopping each other, they were ruthlessly eliminated.

This is very effective. After basically seeing the real violence of the officials and soldiers, the scholars became honest. Some even were so scared that they threw away the scribe sword and hid in inns or private rooms.

Not long after, a melee between hundreds of thousands of scholars ended.

It was just that hundreds of scholars were injured or died.

After Zhu Youxiao got off the tower, Yu Longyan looked at the many scholars who were still bruised and swollen, and couldn't help but think: "It's not forcing me to use an iron fist! That is, in the Ming Dynasty, it's not the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, if I were Kang Mazi, I would kill you all directly! Don't worry, and change my ears to purify myself."

After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao asked Wen Tiren and Lu Xiangsheng two auxiliary ministers: "What do you two have about this?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "It's quite bloody! But in my opinion, the essence of the fight between them is the struggle between heaven and human desires!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed out: "Continue talking."

"yes!"

Lu Xiangsheng continued to reply: "Human desires are hard to destroy, and the laws of heaven cannot be destroyed. Some people choose to follow human desires, and some people choose to follow the laws of heaven. It is difficult to determine who will choose what, but what the court needs to do is to control the balance between the two and to harmonize yin and yang. As Your Majesty said before, try to avoid excessive situations. Whether following the laws of heaven or human desires, you cannot trample on the king's laws at will and take others' lives at will! There are no restrictions on academic research, but there must be rules in your actions, otherwise it will be messed up!"

"Yin and Yang harmony cannot be mixed, and cannot become mixed. When it is time to be tough, you must be tough. When Shen Shixing was assisting in the government, he was always willing to do the yin and Yang harmony. However, his harmony can be said to be soft and powerless. The superiors dare not offend the king and the subordinates dare not denounce officials. Both ends vent their anger. In addition to being convenient for self-protection, the king and the country are of no use, and it has also grown the arrogance of all officials below, and also made the king more and more self-righteous."

Zhu Youxiao commented on the politics of the Wanli period at this time.

"What Your Majesty said is! In the opinion of the minister, the cause of such disputes is due to the fact that many scholars from wealthy families cannot accept knowledge that they are no longer their unique resources, and therefore cannot receive more preferential treatment from the court;

If we make knowledge popularized into the hands of more civilians, and more civilians have wisdom, so that the people can know what medicine some people are selling. In that case, more people will support the court to interfere in the commodity economy, and it will even become a consensus among the whole people!

In this way, those who want to freely exploit the people of their own country will naturally stop, and at most they will be sarcastic;

And not even dare to jump out like now. In the end, it is not that the wisdom of the people has not been completely improved, and both the workers and farmers have not participated. It is difficult for the army controlled by Your Majesty and His Majesty to directly intervene. After all, once you have to use a war, it means that you no longer talk about national sentiments and righteousness, no matter whether you ask the reason, you will either be black or white, and you will directly clean it."

Wen Tiren said.

Zhu Youxiao pointed out and said, "It makes sense! Aristocratic families must have been unable to accept their decline back then, but this was inevitable!

However, to enable more civilians to open up their wisdom, cultural changes must be made. As we are now, most official articles, personal notes, newspaper articles still pay attention to neat parallelism. The use of all kinds of strong structures and various types of essays that ignore easy-to-understand styles is not conducive to the people's grasping relevant information. It must be admitted that most people cannot understand the text at once, so they need to be vernacular in style."

"I mean the same thing! To completely open up the wisdom of the people, I must implement vernacular Chinese so that I can popularize my thoughts in the market and the sages will reach the people! And the people's opinions can be better known by the court."

Wen Tiren said excitedly: "It is imperative to promote vernacular Chinese!"

"The court has ignored cultural innovations over the years, but in fact this is the focus of the current dynasty's reforms!"

"The system has not been changed for only 20 or 30 years, but with the increase in literacy rate and the development of urban culture, cultural development does need to be further promoted. It is necessary to consider that the people have spiritual needs after material wealth and their enthusiasm for concern and politics is rising."

Zhu Youxiao said in a very agreeable way: "It is not enough to promote vernacular Chinese. In addition, Chinese characters must be simplified to make the font easier to write and recognize. There are many Chinese characters at present but there are many strokes, which is not conducive to the efficiency of cultural dissemination. If it can be simplified, it must be simplified."

"We can first promote vernacular Chinese, and at the same time, we can make the officials of the Hanlin Academy compile simplified Chinese characters, issue corresponding dictionaries, and then slowly promote them all over the world."

Lu Xiangsheng said at this time.

"Very good! Promoting vernacular Chinese and winning the cooperation of writers in the world, relying on the court alone, we are not allowed to take advantage of the current situation. Now, there are many scholars gathered in Nanjing due to the Jinling Conference. At that time, you, Wen Aiqing, will start your lectures and promote the use of vernacular Chinese to promote the popularization of literature. Don't let articles and knowledge still be the business of scholars."

Zhu You proofread Wen Tiren and ordered.

Wen Tiren was born in the Hanlin Academy and was also very talented in literature. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked him to be the pioneer in promoting vernacular Chinese, so naturally there was nothing inappropriate.

"Abide by the order!"
