C214 The threat of Confucianism

Weng Tonghe was a typical Gui Chen. Normally, he would show everyone his gentleness and elegance, but this did not mean that he would not get angry.

Facts had proven that once Weng Tonghe began his counterattack, his sharpness would definitely not be inferior to Xiao Letian's in any way. This thirty year old Imperial Advisor looked around at the dukes in power within the East Warm Pavilion and sneered.

"Where is the foundation of the Great Qing? "If there are no outsiders here, I will tell you the truth. The Eight Banners are ruled by foreign races in the Central Plains, and they can extend across 200 years without interruption. This is something rarely seen in the history of China …"

"In the distant, there is chaos. In the nearer, there is even the Yuan Dynasty. "In the end, how did you manage to obtain this miracle? I believe you all have thought about it …"

"Hahaha, the reason why Da Qing has come so far is all because of the blade in Ba Qi's hand and the sharp mouth of us scholars. Even though it was forcefully promoted by the Baji with a knife, but it did not ease the mood of the people as a result of us Confucian Scholars, do you really think that we can do it stably? "

Weng Tonghe's words made all the people present blush slightly, but the words that followed caused them to feel even more agitated, so Weng Tonghe decided to directly reveal everything.

"It was us scholars who had been helping the imperial government pacify their hearts for the past two hundred years. That was the only reason why the Manchu had been sitting down all this time. "Those old peasants who don't know a basket of big words, it's all because of us, the scholars, that we tell them who is orthodox and who is orthodox …"

"My lord, the kingdom has reached its most dangerous moment. What is the fighting strength of the eight flags? Did it drop? What the Monk King and the British and French combined forces had lost was the power of the Eight Banners Core. This humble subject has said something outrageous. If Xiang Army were to head north today, I would like to ask where the imperial government's troops would come from. "

Ci An's words shocked the entire hall. Upon hearing them, Ci An immediately looked at the eunuchs, causing the Chief Eunuch Zhou Daoying and An Dehai to quickly take all the servants away.

The knives in the hands of the imperial government were no longer sharp enough. No matter how much time they took to polish them, it was still too late. Could it be that he no longer wanted the imperial knife, and now he even had to cut off his throat? If not for us Confucian Scholars using our conscience and Confucian classics to lock onto Brother Zeng Family's heart, what other good idea would you have? "

"Your majesty!" Majesty! Honored nobles, have you not seen the situation clearly? Right now, us Confucian Scholars are risking our lives to use moral articles to force Ceng Guofan to do so, we have to do everything we can to push him into the pile of loyal subjects! "Now that there's a Western Scholar and two evildoers who have printed a few leaflets, the imperial government is planning to give up on us?"

Weng Tonghe then sighed, knelt in the center of the hall and said: "This humble subject has already said everything he wanted to say, if you want to kill me, you can do it!"

How could they kill him? Weng Tonghe had already lifted the biggest worry from the hearts of everyone present and left them in the sun. How could the imperial government dare to take action?

Ci Xi glanced at him and Prince Kung quickly stood up to support him, "Shu Ping, Shu Ping, what are you doing? "I'm sorry, but my words just now were too rude. You can't blame me. The imperial government would obviously use demonstration, and of course it would use Confucian scholars. This is a family law, and it definitely won't change …"

Weng Tonghe was pushed back into the chair again, "Aren't we discussing now? Xiao Letian has already made his move, how should the imperial government handle it? You scholars have brains, do you have any ideas?"

At this time, the Empress Dowager of the East also spoke out, "Shu Ping, all of the evidence was delivered quickly from the horses of the Tanggu, it can be said that Xiao Letian has iron evidence in his hands, and there are even pictures of the foreigners in his hands. Originally, the imperial government was not afraid of him messing around, but now that he's done with the flyer, I'm a little confused … "

"What if Xiao Letian goes on and on and on and the hearts of the people get bewitched? "This is what the imperial government is most worried about …"

Weng Tonghe shook his head: "It won't, the imperial court is overthinking it, it has obviously been controlling the hearts of the people for thousands of years, the people have already gotten used to it, it is not something that can be changed with a few unveiling. "Furthermore, there weren't many people who could read in the countryside, and after seeing these posts, we, the scholars, would have to tell them. This is our advantage …"

"Undeniably, Xiao Letian's twisted logic is very bewitching for some half-jealous literate citizens. "The shop assistants, the practitioners of the martial arts world and the greenery, as well as countless merchants, this group of people is not small, and there are quite a few literate people. They are the ones who are most easily bewitched by Xiao Letian …"

"Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, please calm your hearts. Xiao Letian's schemes are indeed brilliant, but it is not that urgent. Right now, the biggest question is just how big Xiao Letian's plan will be and how long can we do it. If we do not clarify this matter, there is nothing we can do about it … "

Everyone in the hall was lost in their thoughts, the intelligent Tongzhi King suddenly spoke out, "Shuntian Palace has come to report, saying that there were countless of flyers flying everywhere in the capital city yesterday. I wonder if printing these things doesn't cost money? Even if Xiao Letian had the Gold Mountain and Silver Sea, he wouldn't be able to endure such a waste, right? And how on earth did he print so many leaflets in a matter of days? "

This question was too crucial. He had asked the craftsmen in work department the same question, and the craftsmen were confused as well. First, they could not see what kind of printing technology it was, and then there was the question of cost and efficiency. If it was work department who did it, 100,000 leaflets would cost at least 100,000 copper coins and it would take another half a month to be printed.

No one in the entire Manchu dynasty could figure out how Xiao Letian did such a miracle.

The little emperor frowned and said, "According to Master's analysis, if these flyers were already at the limit of Xiao Letian's ability, and if he could only do this much, then it shouldn't have much of an impact on the hearts of the people … "I'm afraid that Xiao Letian's methods are not limited to just that, he is now a slave, maybe next will be Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu …"

"Impossible!" Weng Tonghe was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on as he jumped up, "That's absolutely impossible, how can there be such a magical printing technique in this world? Even Xiao Letian does not have that much money to do this. One flyer was worth one copper coin, did he want to cover the entire Great Clear World with tens of millions of copper coins? "How could he have so much money to waste …"

Everyone thought the same way, what kind of concept was billions of copper coins? That was 100,000 taels of silver, even the army could raise over ten thousand people, only a fool would print such a thing to play.

When the assembly arrived, everyone's mood improved, and the following topic was on how to handle Xiao Letian's overbearing attitude.

According to the hundred years of history of the Great Qing, Xiao Letian's actions were already enough to exterminate his entire family. Everything he did was slow enough, but no one present was able to utter the word "exterminate".

The situation had already turned complicated for Xiao Letian. The foreign invaders and the Xiang Army s had already joined in, adding on to the fact that Xiao Letian was going to fight a promotional battle with the imperial government. If he used more blade weapons, Xiao Letian would really be at the end of the line.

If they wanted to eliminate Xiao Letian, sending too few soldiers would simply be useless. However, if they sent too many soldiers, this cunning fellow would definitely escape to the ocean. The final result would be a pirate assault on the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, and all the major cities would be flooded with posters and flyers. At that point, the imperial court would lose all face.

However, the imperial government could not take this lying down if they did not kill Xiao Letian. After all, the imperial government had calmed down both Long Hair and Twisted Army, and the prestige of the imperial government was gradually recovering. If they were to bow down to a smelly merchant, wouldn't the people of the world be laughing at them?

The East Warm Pavilion was deathly still, this dilemma seemed to be difficult to overcome.

"Wait, wait another two days, the Guardian Elder will probably be back in a few days, he made a move and there is no information that he can't get, the order is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jiao Si is the scout that they sent out, although Sun Sanhu was captured, but he escaped, he wants to dig him out, and see if we can get anything out of his mouth …"

Yi Nan's words finished Grand Commission, although they did not come up with a plan to deal with Xiao Letian, but once he succeeded in breaking through, no one in the imperial court dared to think of weakening him, so these troublesome scholars were completely safe.

The demonstration was innocent and justified. These words were heard by all the scholars in the capital that night. Now, they were proud and proud of themselves. A forced palace and a grand parade had been held, and the imperial government was accepting the words. This was a joyous occasion for all the scholars in the world to celebrate.

That night, all the entertainment venues in the capital were filled with scholars. These loyal servants of Prometheus drank to their heart's content. The world returned to their control without the provocation from the western lackeys or lackeys.

"Congratulations to Young Master Wang Mian … Congratulations to Young Master Luo Tong Wen Luo … Congratulations to Fan Min, Young Master Fan... Congratulations to all my fellow students in maintenance and visualization of the same year... Let's drink this cup! "

All the brothels in the eight alleys were about to break through the wall, the raising child was everywhere, the names they shouted were the three scholars who contributed the most to this demonstration.

There was no need to talk about Wang Mian. When he was in mourning, he would not forget to participate in the series of studies.

Young Master Luo and Young Master Fan were even more straightforward, the two of them fought the fiercest fights in the martial arts world in front of the Prince Kung.

The three of them were now known as the 'three outstanding scholars' of Confucianism, the future prosperity of the three of them could be said to have been shouldered by the three of them.

"Everyone, everyone …" Everyone, quiet down. Listen to what I, Wang Mian, have to say... " The drunken Wang Mian jumped onto the table. He was surrounded by scholars and brothels women, and at that moment, he already had the feeling of being a leader.

"The power of us scholars has already shaken the whole country. This matter will definitely be recorded in history. We are all people who have rendered great merits in the field …" Let's try again, let's go forward a little bit more, I believe... "I firmly believe that the literary style in the Song Dynasty is not far away. It is already close at hand …"

In exchange for a single sentence, this group of scholars applauded wildly. "Song Dynasty is so romantic. We, the scholars, want to restore the glory of the Song Dynasty …" "To make the imperial government vow to kill the White Horse …"

Xiao Letian never thought that, even more so, Manchu dynasty Ting would never expect that, in the chaos of a grace, these scholars who were like sands would actually find a political platform that belonged to them. They actually dreamt of regaining the status of scholars in the Song Dynasty.

It had to be said that the Song Dynasty was truly a heaven for scholars. As long as you were an official, there would be no death penalty.

No one would have thought that after all the chaos in Enke City, there would actually be so many changes, many of which even Xiao Letian was unable to grasp.

The water was already muddled, whether Xiao Letian could cultivate to perfection in the muddy water would depend on his ability.
