Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Let's sit."

Then, Zhu Youxiao sighed: "All of them are famous masters at home and abroad!"

"I dare not take it, Your Majesty is too proud."

Gu Yanwu and others quickly replied.

"There is nothing I dare not take for you. I have read all your works. It is an honor for you in this era."

Zhu Youxiao said, and ordered: "Give tea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Although you have many opinions that are contrary to the concentration of imperial power, I have to admit that what you said has their own reasons. And I have said a long time ago that there are rules in propaganda, but there are no restrictions in academic research. Therefore, as long as you explain the theory of social thought from a scientific perspective, I will not make things difficult for you and will support you."

"Your Majesty's mind is so that we admire you. It is our honor to be born in your Majesty's era to study and make words."

Gu Yanwu replied.

"That's right, I'm not flattering me. If I weren't Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll still be the only one in Neo-Confucianism. We will only be regarded as strangers, just like Li Zhuowu! I'm even afraid that some of my views will have been beheaded because of their extreme consequences."

Tang Zhen also said.

And these two people obviously understand, and what they said is indeed true.

Because in history, these people did not show their reputation when they were alive, and even if they showed their reputation, they were not a good reputation, because their views or behaviors were not favored by people at that time.

For example, the works written by Tang Zhen directly reveal the true side of the Kangxi prosperous era. It is lucky that the whole family will not be killed.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "If I were not the emperor of the Han family today, I would have been like this. But I am not after all. I have summoned you, do you know why?"

"Your Majesty just need not let me be an official."

Lu Liuliang replied at this time.

Wang Fuzhi, who was standing by, smiled awkwardly. He is now the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to Central China because he went to Europe to spread Confucianism. However, what he consciously did was not something that went against his heart. After all, it was to educate the barbarians, so how could he say it was for fame and fortune?

Zhu Youxiao continued, "Of course I don't want you to be an official. Besides, apart from preaching, I don't feel at ease to let you be an official, but I do have to assign tasks and make requests for you before I can see you."

The great scholars were a little surprised.

Zhu Youxiao said: "You know that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the same as before. A society dominated by farming has become a society dominated by industrial production;

If the set of ethics and morals established by Confucianism are the standard for judging good and evil in farming civilization;

What kind of ideas should commercial civilization be used as the mainstream of commercial civilization? Let the law have a basis and the people can have new beliefs."

"I believe you have seen what happened recently. Some wealthy businessmen want to manipulate national treasury for their own use, even plunder the people's wealth, commit fraud, and make profits for themselves. They are even more afraid of the king's laws and the compatriots, only seek benefits, commit fraud, and even extend their hands to the army!"

"And the criminals are no longer ordinary people, but are mostly knowledgeable people. Some scholars have even begun to make addicted drugs to make huge profits, and some scholars are willing to play other people's mouthpieces. All kinds of things are different, and the world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not old!"

"It is time for you great scholars to build new ideas while the old ethics and morals are abandoned so that the people of the world will not become completely egoists."

After Zhu Youxiao said that, Gu Ziwu and others fell into deep thought.

They also noticed what Zhu Youxiao mentioned, but to be honest, over the past few decades, the Ming Dynasty has developed too fast, and they themselves are very confused.

However, in the end, Gu Yanwu and others expressed that they would follow Zhu Youxiao's will and seriously seek a way to adapt to the new civilization for the people of the world.

After Zhu Youxiao met these great scholars and asked them to create a new set of moral values ​​and values ​​for the Ming Dynasty that entered the stage of commercial civilization, he soon received a report from the Yinwei Kingdom of Dongchang, saying that Du Rizhang and others had confessed that they planned this strike event that only stayed in the newspaper. Among them, Han Guo, a great scholar who was a famous scholar, expressed his support for the strike, which was also under their command.

Zhu Youxiao ordered: "I ordered Dongchang to arrest Han Guo for accepting bribes and publish his crimes in the world."

After receiving the order from Zhu Youxiao, Dongchang Yinweiguo immediately rushed to the garden of Han.

"Where is Korean?"

But the East Factory Yin Weiguo and others were idle and saw Han Yu's son Han Dacong, so they started asking.

Han Dacong replied: "My father had already traveled three months ago."

"This old guy is walking very quickly!"

The State of Yin Wei said in disappointment, and could only say: "Report to Your Majesty."

"Then let's go to the sea to arrest the documents! I don't believe that there are really vassal states who dare to take him in because he is a great scholar!"

After receiving the report from Yin Wei Kingdom, Zhu Youxiao did not choose to spare Han Guo.

Because he doesn't want those scholars who have no character to think that they mislead the world by collecting money as the mouthpiece of others and causing trouble to the country and nation. They are irresponsible.

"I had long expected that Du Rizhang's merchants were unreliable, and I also knew that the tyrant would not tolerate me, a great scholar who had been a priest in the Imperial College, openly said in the newspapers: "The business environment of the Ming Dynasty was not free enough, and the court was taking the opportunity to rob the money earned by merchants. He also said bluntly that today is the world of producers, not the world of operators, but the emperor and even the officials of the world are operators, but as operators, the government did not preserve the dignity of operators, and undoubtedly was like slaves of the world!" So, before Du Rizhang and others were arrested, I escaped in advance."

Han Guo had indeed fled to the Gaotang Kingdom in Budapest early, and met Fan Guangwen and Xu Zhijue here, and even spoke.

After listening to this, Fan Guangwen said, "We all heard of it! We admire Mr. Han's courage!"

"That's right!"

Xu Zhijue also nodded and agreed, and said, "But Han Gong, the Kingdom of Gaotang is not a place where you can live for a long time. Today, I can say that he is like the Qin Shihuang and powerful in the four seas. I believe that he will know you are here soon."

"I know!"

"Don't worry, we won't stay here for a long time. I plan to escape to the free Yingjili first. Xu Qianxue's eldest son Xu Yuanchang sent me a secret letter saying that I can go and join him!"

Han said.

After hearing this, Xu Zhijue nodded and said, "I'm sorry, a spoken man like Mr. Han, is now in a state of escape from all over the world, alas!"

"It's not that tyrant who blames him!"

Fan Guangwen said angrily.

Han Zi smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, this is a world where freedom is not allowed. There is only the so-called imperial human rights. For the so-called human rights, we will not hesitate to limit the freedom of the people in the world!"

"Since that's the case, I'll write you a letter. You will go to the Netherlands first and defect to the current academician Xu Bingyi of the Netherlands, and let him help you go to England."

Xu Zhijue said at this time.

"Thank you!"

Han Guo thanked him for this and went to the Netherlands a few days later.

Xu Bingyi, after Han came to the Netherlands, met him.

"You went to England to avoid being persecuted by traitors in the court. Can you ask who is going to persecute you?"

Xu Bingyi asked.

Han Feng replied: "Of course, Wen Tiren and a treacherous minister."

Xu Bingyi said, "Why don't you just say that Your Majesty persecutes you?"

Han Zi suddenly felt uneasy: "What do you mean?"

Xu Bingyi smiled and said, "You should know that no matter how fast you run, you will not be able to pass your order quickly. Before you come, I, the Netherlands, received your telegram from the sea capture."

After hearing this, Han Guo said, "You can pretend you don't know and let me go. After all, everyone is a scholar."

Xu Bingyi shook his head and said, "If a scum like you is not punished, it will affect my entire Shilin atmosphere. So, you should stay here honestly and wait for the people from the court to come and take you."

"What's wrong with me? I've just received gifts from a few big merchants. What's the matter? Why is it related to bribery? Don't you think this is persecution?!"

Han Feng said excitedly, and then questioned Xu Bingyi.

"But you can't eat imperial grain while holding gifts from merchants, and speak for merchants, criticizing the emperor's decrees. If you keep a dog, you can only bark at outsiders. You are not a dog or a human being. Even if you can't bite people for the court, you should at least be honest and unbiased."

Xu Bingyi said.

thump!

Han Guo knelt down directly: "Please let me go, I don't want to be skinned!"

Xu Bingyi didn't say anything.

Han Feng directly hit his head and said, "I'll kowtow to you, Mr. Xu!"

Bang!

Xu Bingyi slapped the table with a punch: "You are a famous scholar after all! How can you do this? Get up for me quickly."

"If you don't agree to help me, I won't get up, Master Xu."

Han Guo was playing tricks.

Xu Bingyi pointed at Han Zi: "You, you, why are you so shameless!"

As he said that, Xu Bingyi shouted, "Come on, drag him down!"

...

"Your Majesty, Han Guo was caught and was being taken back to the capital."

One day shortly after that, Du Yinxi reported the situation to Zhu Youxiao.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said, "Very good! How did you find it?"

"With the help of Xu Zhijue from the Gaotang Kingdom, Han Guo went to find Xu Bingyi and said that he was going to escape to Yingyi and join the descendants of Xu Qianxue there."

Du Yinxi replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said, "English? It seems that these British people have never been honest and are still making trouble in secret. In addition, the one named Xu Zhijue must have something to do. He asked the Jinyiwei not to take him first, but just wanted to secretly put a spy around him to see what secrets there were behind him. I always feel that some people from the Central Government Office, including the Jinyiwei, were eliminated by the White Bandits Army, had nothing to do with these people. It is not new to me, the Han scholars and officials, who used the foreigners to do their own things."

"What Your Majesty said is that these British barbarians are quite insidious, and Guan Ai secretly provoked and did shameful acts. Fortunately, now that southern Europe has been unified, the Ottomans and the Arab tribes are about to be annexed. By then, the first target of external unification should be the Isle of Great Britain and Ireland."
