Chapter 452: The East Factory Has Made a Contribution
In the early morning, Ning Zheng walked out of the house. His wife saw him to the door and hesitated for a moment, "It is said that Chang Wei Bo died of poisoning. With his death, the Mohist School is leaderless and will inevitably be in chaos. My husband joined the Mohist School and was regarded as a traitor by the scholars in the capital. Now the Mohist School is declining... How about you bow your head?"
Ning Zheng turned around and looked at his wife carefully. "You are my wife. You said this for my sake. I don't blame you. But I am a disciple of the Mohist School. I once told my uncle that once I enter the Mohist School, I will be a disciple of the Mohist School for life. This ambition will never change!"
"You..." The wife smiled bitterly, "Those people are cruel, and I'm afraid they will kill you, but aren't you afraid of dying?"
"As long as the Tao is there, there will be no regrets in death." Ning Zheng smiled and said, "Besides, even if Master Bo passes away, the Mohist School will not perish."
"There is no one left. How can we not die?" said the wife.
"And me!" Ning Zheng said seriously: "As long as there is a disciple of the Mo Sect, the Mo Sect will not perish!"
His wife watched him walk out, his figure was straighter and more determined than ever before.
……
The warm wind made the tourists drunk, making Hangzhou a Bianzhou.
This is a poem satirizing the powerful officials of the former Song Dynasty, but it has the same effect if it is applied to the capital of the Ming Dynasty today.
In a restaurant in the capital, a group of scholars were drinking and writing poetry.
Someone raised his glass and said, "I am so excited today that I am at a loss for words. Everyone, the disaster that killed you is a punishment from heaven. This shows that the might of Confucianism is unstoppable, unstoppable!"
"Come! Let's drink this cup together and celebrate for our Confucianism!"
Someone smiled and said, "Brother Chen forgot a word."
The man slapped his forehead and said, "I am confused, confused." He raised his glass again, "Come on, everyone, let's drink this glass of wine to celebrate Confucianism and the Ming Dynasty!"
They all drank it in one gulp, looked at each other's excited faces, and a feeling of joy arose in their hearts.
"When Jiang was in the capital, he was arrogant and domineering. The Mohists took advantage of this to expand. Those fools hid in Xin'an Lane and criticized our Confucianism. Everyone, there must be an explanation for this matter, right?"
Someone said sinisterly: "We didn't bother with them in the past, but they kept pushing it. If we continue to tolerate them, we will be indulging them!"
"I once heard Chiang Kai-shek say that managing a family is like managing an army. You can be tolerant, but you can't indulge. I agree with this. Everyone, look at this bright spring day. Shouldn't we do something that will make us regretless in this life?"
"Brother Chen's order!" Everyone stood up and the atmosphere became heated.
Brother Chen's name is Chen Ziran. He smiled and said, "Those Mohists are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, criticizing our Confucianism. In this case, let's go to their house and have a debate... Who can question it?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Ziran said: "If the other party speaks rudely during the debate, we can teach him a lesson... But we can't be the first to attack."
"We'll know."
As for who will take action first, it depends on who has greater power.
"set off!"
As the group rushed to Xin'an Lane, the stubborn residents on the land outside the city also got the news.
"They say he's dead. He ate some mushroom that poisoned him." The old man said to the visitors, "We don't have to worry about anything now. Next time Mr. Hu comes, we should be more aggressive and try to provoke him to fight."
“I know!”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Go away!"
After everyone left, the old man smiled and said, "This is God's help. It shows that Jiang Qingzhi is not favored by God. It shows that this Mo family should not leave the mountain. He went against the will of God, so God took him away."
……
Chen Ziran and dozens of others marched to Xin'an Lane, and a beggar had already informed the Bo family of the news.
The side door opened and Fu Cheng walked out, "Why are you all here?"
Chen Ziran cupped his hands and said in a clear voice: "The students of Mohism have repeatedly slandered our Confucianism and disrespected the ancient sages. Today we are here to refute them."
Fu Cheng was about to refuse when King Jing's voice came from behind him, "No need to stop me."
Fu Cheng was startled, then immediately stepped aside.
"I have met His Highness!"
Chen Ziran didn't expect King Jing to be here, but he was still fearless.
A servant took them to the school building, and King Jing said, "If you become a coward, no matter what happens next, Mohism will never rise again."
Fu Cheng sighed, "The storm is coming! But my uncle..."
King Jing said, "I believe in my uncle!"
Fucheng looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. No one knew better than him how delicious Jiang Qingzhi was.
In order to taste the delicious mushrooms, Jiang Qingzhi dared to take risks.
Prince Yu was giving a lecture. When Chen Ziran and his men came in, he frowned and said, "Get out!"
"Greetings, Your Highness." Chen Ziran bowed and said, "I came here today because someone slandered my Confucian sages. Can I use this opportunity to refute him?"
There's no way to stop this.
Prince Yu hesitated for a moment, and Prince Jing came outside and shook his head at him.
So the two sides began to argue.
At this time, the husband thinks he is right, and the wife thinks she is right, and they attack each other.
Not long after, someone on Chen Ziran's side slapped the other side, causing a conflict.
"What's going on? Did the bastard start a fight?" Chen Ziran's face flushed. "Who is it? Come out and let me see."
He jumped onto the table, looked around, and asked coldly, "Who did it?"
Prince Yu stood at the side, looking somewhat dazed.
Prince Jing was right beside him, whispering, "Although the Jinyiwei reported that my cousin was poisoned, Xu Wei is very smart. If my cousin is really poisoned, Xu Wei will have two choices. One is to raid the Duke's Mansion to avenge my cousin, and the other is to lead the 1,000 cavalrymen to fight out of Yunnan and bring my cousin's remains back to the capital." "But..." Prince Yu has been in a daze since he got the news that his cousin was poisoned, "But Mu Chaobi and the Mu family have everything under control in Yunnan."
"Unless he dares to rebel, he will definitely not dare to..." King Jing suddenly stopped talking.
"You thought of that, too?" Prince Yu laughed bitterly. "There are many chieftains in Yunnan. Mu Chaobi attacked my cousin at night using the name of a chieftain. If he wants to hunt down Xu Wei, he can just do it again."
He sniffed, "I wish I could follow the army south, capture Mu Chaobi, chop this thief into pieces, and avenge my uncle."
"From today on, whoever blasphemes our Confucian sages will be the public enemy of our imperial scholars." Chen Ziran became more and more proud. "I heard that Chang Wei Bo was poisoned. We are also very sad. The Mohist school has lost its leader. This Mohist school..."
At this time, the Mohist student was extremely angry and was ready to pounce and fight.
A servant came over and said, "Your Highness, someone from the Eastern Depot is here."
"East Factory?"
Prince Yu and Prince Jing looked at each other.
What is the East Factory doing here?
A guard from the Eastern Depot came over in a hurry and said, "Greetings to the two princes."
"Shut up!" King Jing turned around and shouted.
Chen Ziran was stunned, then he remembered that the two princes were also there.
"Speak." Prince Yu said woodenly.
The guard said, "Our East Factory's spies in Yunnan have just sent us an urgent report that Mu Chaobi has summoned the governor of Yunnan and the governor-general and others, and coerced them to preside over the succession to the title."
"You good villain!" Prince Yu sneered. He swore that if he could ascend the throne, the first thing he would do would be to lead his army south to destroy Mu Chaobi.
"Who would have thought that Chang Wei Bo, who was rumored to have died of poisoning, would suddenly appear, and Mu Chaobi would be at a loss as to what to do..."
No one listened to what was said afterwards.
"Jiang Qingzhi is not dead?"
Chen Ziran was shocked.
A fist suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and with a bang, it knocked Chen Ziran off the table. When Chen Ziran landed, he realized that a student with gray hair was standing on the table opposite him.
Ning Zheng jumped off the table, sat on him and started beating him up.
"Beat these bastards!"
After learning the news that Jiang Qing was poisoned, the students of Mohism fell into a state of despair.
Joining Mohism was an adventure in itself. Now that the great leader of Mohism is gone, what should these rebels in the eyes of Confucianists do?
At this moment, the despair dissipated and the suppressed anger burst out.
Suddenly the school was in chaos.
"Run!"
Chen Ziran and others fled, and some even shouted as they ran: "Wait, wait..."
Prince Yu and Prince Jing were stunned.
"Has the news been confirmed?"
The guard nodded vigorously, "It is absolutely true. This time, our East Factory got the news first and rushed all the way to the capital first. The Jinyiwei people lagged behind by half a day and are still on the way."
Prince Yu's body softened, but fortunately the wall behind him blocked his way. He gasped for air, his lips trembling, "Okay, okay... Rui Jingxian... okay."
King Jing looked calm, but his calves suddenly became loose and he could hardly support his body.
Fanzi was a man of quick hands and eyes. Seeing this, he came over without leaving a trace. King Jing took the opportunity to support him and said with a smile, "Rui Jingxian has made a great contribution."
……
The inner court.
Li Tian looked calm and said, "Although my husband said it was delicious, I firmly believe that he would not be so unwise. Mr. Jingchuan's coming today shows that he has a deep friendship with me. If there is anything, I will ask for your advice."
Wearing a cloth shirt that had been washed to reveal its true color and a pair of straw sandals, Tang Shunzhi nodded and said, "I have some old friends in the capital. After receiving the news, they said that there have been some unusual movements in the court and the capital. But Madam, there is no need to worry..."
Li Tian seemed calm, but at the moment she was in a state of confusion. She looked up and found that Tang Shunzhi was carrying a bag, so she asked, "Mr. Jing Chuan, are you going out?"
It was no secret in the capital that Jiang Qingzhi and Tang Shunzhi, a scholar of the School of Mind, were good friends.
But when Jiang Qingzhi got into trouble, Tang Shunzhi wanted to leave the capital... He was trying to avoid disaster!
Tang Shunzhi nodded, "I'm going to Yunnan."
Huang Yaner came in and whispered in her ear, "Madam, Mr. Jing Chuan came with a knife."
Li Tian was shocked and stood up, kneeling down to salute, "Mr. Jing Chuan..."
When the news came, she pretended to be calm during the day, but burst into tears at night.
Prince Yu and Prince Jing still came to Xin'an Lane, and most of the students still came to the Bo's Mansion to study.
The servants and guards in the house were all doing their duty faithfully.
Everyone was telling her through their actions.
——We are still here!
Tang Shunzhi stood up and said with a smile: "I have many friends, but the only one who can be called a close friend is Qingzhi. If he goes, I should go and see... see the south of the colorful clouds!"
A sharp breath suddenly came.
Only then did Li Tian realize that this great master of psychology was actually planning to go to Yunnan alone to kill Mu Chaobi in order to avenge his confidant.
"lady!"
A maid stumbled in and said ecstatically, "Master is not dead, not dead!"
