Chapter 375: The Minister of Science and Science commits suicide and the rebellious minister kneels down!
Chapter 375: The Minister of Neo-Confucianism committed suicide, and the rebellious minister knelt down!
"How cruel! Pity these monks!"
Wang Wenkui, the chief minister of the puppet dynasty, couldn't help but sigh when he learned that tens of thousands of monks and Taoists organized themselves in Renhua County and tried to block the government troops for them, but were all killed.
Wei Boxiang said: "How can there be so many monks? They are just the last efforts of the local gentry for those of us who adhere to the ancestral system and adhere to the sole respect of Neo-Confucianism. They no longer dare to support us openly and can only incite the tribesmen
Xiang Yong brought the monks controlled by them to stop us again!"
After hearing this, Wang Wenkui lamented even more: "The people's hearts are so respectable! It's hateful, God will not bless us!"
"Speaking of it, it is also because of the disunity among our scholars. We only regard the gentry as the people, but Yuan Keli and Chen Zizhuang still regard the head of Guizhou as the people, so that they also support Zhang Guojiu's reform. But now, although the building is about to collapse
, but we can’t let them suffer any loss. This Chen Zizhuang is from Nanhai, Guangdong, so it’s better to destroy his ancestral grave to warn the world of shameless villains!”
Wei Boxiang suggested.
Wang Wenkui thought of what Zhu Zhiyu asked Chen Zizhuang to tell them not to do too much. He also thought that he might still fall into their hands, and it was indeed not advisable to do too much, so he waved his hand and said:
"No need! He, Chen Zizhuang, is a member of the noble family after all. We must be benevolent and righteous!"
"For disobedient and unruly people, you can dig their ancestral graves to force them to serve, but for the nobles, you must pay attention to benevolence, otherwise you will not be benevolent and righteous, which will not be conducive to the transformation of future offensive and defensive trends. This is what the saints taught us.
How can you not listen to the truth?"
"What Yuan Fu said is that the lower official failed to consider it."
Wei Boxiang quickly replied, and he had to admit that he really shouldn't be too disrespectful towards people of the same class.
Wang Wenkui even said at this time: "Send some reliable soldiers to guard the tomb of the Chen family to prevent it from being destroyed by the mob!"
"clear!"
Wei Boxiang was stunned, but he suppressed his inner discomfort with Wang Wenkui's overture to the Chen family and agreed.
"Yuanfu, General Reard is here!"
At this time, Wang Wenkui's staff came to report.
After hearing this, Wang Wenkui hurriedly said: "Please come in, general!" Then he asked Wei Boxiang to stay here first and accompany him with his guests.
At this time, Lied came in and asked: "Yuanfu, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Wang Wenkui said with a smile: "Nowadays, the traitors are powerful, but we don't have many ships, and most of the ships are your ships, so I wonder if you should abandon your own people and let our majesty and ministers
Ministers board the ship and move to Haojing?"
Wang Wenkui then said: "I know that your Excellency the Governor has given you full authority to handle the affairs of this dynasty, so you must have the power to handle this matter."
"I have this power."
Lied replied, and then asked: "But Yuanfu, do you seem to be begging for help now?"
Reald was a master of the Ming Dynasty. He had mastered the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty. He was also familiar with Han culture and knew the Han people and officials very well. Now he also discovered the weakness of the puppet dynasty and knew that it was difficult for the small southern court to protect itself, so he decided to
Sit on the ground and start shouting prices.
Wei Boxiang couldn't help but stand up after hearing what Lild said.
At this time, Wang Wenkui took Wei Boxiang's hand, pulled him back to the chair, and then asked with a smile: "General, why do you think this is like a begging gesture?"
"You should kneel down!"
Rild suddenly said sharply.
Wei Boxiang glanced at Wang Wenkui.
At this time, Wang Wenkui was silent for a long time, but finally stood up, wore a python robe, knelt in front of Reard, raised his head and smiled and asked: "Is this like a begging gesture?"
Lied nodded and continued: "Yuanfu, if you want us to give up our own slaves and some officers and soldiers and let you board the ship, that's fine, but we have three conditions."
"Speaking."
Wang Wenkui said.
"First, use the edict issued by your emperor to acknowledge that Haojing has always been our Portuguese territory, and then pay compensation for the lease silver you illegally collected."
"Second, you need to pay the shipping fee, one million taels."
"Third, you should all join my Taixi religion, and admit that if you don't join the Taixi religion, you are all inferior and ignorant people! And you need to change your customs."
Reard said.
"Fourth, you must recognize our King as your monarch."
"Fifth, you need to change your name to ours and speak our language."
"Motosuke!"
Wei Boxiang called out hurriedly at this time. He really didn't expect that Lierde, a foreigner from Haojing, would go so far! He actually asked them to donate soil directly, pay money, and more importantly, give up their own Han customs.
Wang Wenkui didn't expect it either, but he ignored Wei Boxiang at this time, and did not choose to refuse Li De: "We are willing!"
Liard laughed, stretched out his hand to Wang Wenkui and said: "Then please Yuanfu, please stand up. I hope Yuanfu, you can understand, if not, I will not be able to give up some of our own officers, soldiers and slaves, but in advance
Take you away."
Wang Wenkui nodded: "Understood!"
With that said, Wang Wenkui personally invited Reard to the study room and asked him to prepare the imperial edict.
Wei Boxiang took the opportunity to leave here quietly and returned home alone. After arranging soldiers to show the Chen family's ancestral graves, he came to the Ministry of Works, sat in his duty room, and looked at the people under the eaves.
Born in Yudrop, he smiled bitterly from time to time.
Wei Boxiang really couldn't accept Wang Wenkui's shameless behavior. In order to escape from the sea, he did not hesitate to flatter the foreign barbarians, and even gave up the Neo-Confucianism ancestral system he adhered to, and even the Han civilization did not want it.
dog.
Thinking of this, Wei Boxiang could not sleep at night and was hungry without thinking about food.
However, Wang Wenkui did not feel these uncomfortable feelings. Instead, he took some ministers and family members with him and some of his family members' wealth and silk, and boarded Lealder's ship.
Wang Wenkui also sent someone to inform Wei Boxiang, and he obviously valued Wei Boxiang very much.
You know, he didn't even notify Zhao Shichun, or even the orphan of King Yi, the fake prince brought by Zhao Shichun to be made emperor.
But on the day when Wang Wenkui was about to board the ship and escape, Wei Boxiang suddenly ran to Wang Wenkui, pulled out the gun hidden in his sleeve, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Why is this?! I have my own pride in Neo-Confucianism, but why did I fall into this state?"
It has reached the point of flattering foreign barbarians and humiliating the country and losing power! Why have we fallen to this! Why?!"
Wei Boxiang cried hysterically with tears in his eyes.
Wang Wenkui was frightened. He thought Wei Boxiang was going to assassinate him, so his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Why is the world so bad and Neo-Confucianism so bad!"
But at this time, Wei Boxiang pointed the gun at his own temple.
Bang!
Then, Wei Boxiang, who really wanted to restore the system of exclusive Neo-Confucianism, shot himself dead and fell in front of Wang Wenkui with tears in his eyes.
Wang Wenkui, who was kneeling on the ground, watched this scene tremblingly and was stunned on the spot.
