Listening to Weng Xincun's words, Qu Bingyuan sighed, but Weng Shutong's face changed: "Father, what do you mean, I am a scholar of Changshu......"

Weng Xincun had already raised his hand to interrupt his son's words, and said with a smile: "Pharmacy, don't say it." This article was written by...... I know what they're thinking. But I always think that peace in this country is not easy to come by. In the last years of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, it was already the end of the decadence, and the old man had been an official in the court for many years, so he could see it clearly. It's good to have this kind of prosperity now...... Moreover, this dynasty treats scholars well, and it is easier to get an official than in previous dynasties, or a local is a local official, and he has not killed a soldier so far, does he really want to open a bloody head? This Tianzi raised 400,000 soldiers, if they can't share the worries of the king, but want to coerce the people to make trouble, I am afraid that after the disturbance, there will be no current preferential treatment. ”

The two people on the opposite side were quiet, but Weng Xincun took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to his eldest son, Weng Tongshu: "This is sent by Shuping from Yingtian, asking me to appease the children surnamed Weng, and at the same time pay attention to the situation and report to him in time." He also said in the letter, I want you to wait patiently, when the situation is clear, there is always a member of the public bureau, the old man thinks this is a good opportunity, should seize it...... Now that Chung Yuan (Weng Zengyuan) has been admitted to Jese University and is also a new scholar, Shu Ping and Pan Jae-jong are the leaders of the New Party in North Korea and China, and I Changshu Shizi should also have some new thinking. ”

What does the old man mean? What do you want Weng Tongshu to do?

Weng Xincun paused for a moment and asked leisurely, "What are the plans of those nerds?" Let me tell the old man. ”

The two on the opposite side glanced at each other, and Weng Tongshu said: "But the scholars of Shanghai Mansion are furious, and they are all clamoring to go to the outside of the Imperial City of Nanjing to ring the bell and petition. ”

Weng smiled: "What do you wish?" Fight for voting rights? It's not that the emperor doesn't give me the votes of the scholars. As long as the tax is over 1o yuan. Or have merit and fame. It's all on the ballot. If you don't have a meritorious name, shouldn't you just read the books of the sages? What voting rights to fight for? Without fame, who knows if you are a farmer or a scholar? Do you see if there are calluses on your hands? pharmacy, you go and tell those people that this is what the old man meant, and let them go back to study quickly, and if they are admitted, they have everything, if they don't have the confidence to be admitted. There are also orchids and New Oriental in Shanghai that can be read. ”

Qu Bingyuan shook his head: "But some people think that the peddlers and pawns should not be given the right to vote...... thinks that such things are insulting to Sven, and also thinks that these peddlers and pawns don't understand anything, and they are not worthy of participating in political affairs with scholars. ”

"Bastard!" Weng snorted coldly, "The Constitution of the King James Dynasty stipulates that all subjects are equal, and the peddlers and pawns are equal, and they have the right to vote after paying taxes. If a scholar does not pay taxes and has no credit, he naturally cannot vote. On what grounds did they object? Do you still think you are superior? Such a thing is against the Constitution, and if you use this reason to make trouble, isn't it your own death? ”

That's it. Weng Tongshu and Qu Bingyuan are fools if they don't understand anymore. The old man's head followed his ass, and he was completely on the side of Weng Tongyi!

Weng Xincun paused. He said to his son again: "Pharmacy, don't be in Changshu, Changshu Shilin doesn't recognize you, let's go to Yingtian...... Ying Tiancai is a place where the wind and clouds gather, if you find out anything, just report to Shuping directly. ”

Is this to make yourself a spy? Weng Tongshu was cool for a while, but he still didn't dare to disobey his father's intentions, so he arched his hand and said, "My son knows." ”

The old man nodded, "It's good to know, pharmacy, this opportunity was originally Shuping's, but he has already been a high-ranking official, so he gave it to you, but you must seize it...... No matter how this Confucianism falls, it is also an indispensable force in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty! Such a force can never be in the hands of a traitor, do you know what it means to be a father? ”

……

At this time, in the south of Nanjing, where a series of residential houses are located, the intertwined complex alleys make the roads here look like a labyrinth, and the city's drainage system is still under construction, so the smell here is really not very good, and it has a bit of a London slum atmosphere. This Daming capital is still a dirty and complicated scene under construction. In the midst of a mixed stream of dwellings, there was a small house that had been rented by a few scholars who were now studying at a college in Nanjing. The academy they studied was not the kind of new or semi-new school, but the "official examination cram school" specially designed to cope with the imperial examination, after the first Jiangnan imperial examination, it was more and more difficult to get an official position, especially the imperial examination has an upper age limit, and the share of the "Ming Jing Ke" belonging to Confucianism has been greatly reduced compared with the past, which also makes the competition for examiners more and more fierce. This kind of "official examination cram school" also came into being, and Nanjing is full of humanities, such a "cram school" is more than elsewhere, and the level is also high, and some of them have officials from the university scholars and the Hongru Academy as gentlemen, which naturally attracts a real Nanzhi and even the surrounding area of the scholars.

And tonight, this small house, at this time, closed the doors and windows tightly, and even the curtains were drawn, as if it was empty. However, if you want to enter the house, you can see that there are already more than a dozen Confucian scholars sitting around the two large tables put together, and an oil lamp emits a dim light, which makes it have a hint of religious atmosphere here. I don't know who it is, but he took the lead in a low and fierce voice: "Now this situation, can we, Jiangnan Shilin, our scholars all over the world still be able to endure it?" ”

Another, more explosive voice immediately picked up: "Of course not! As soon as the "Election Law" comes out, who can bear it among the scholars in the world? Now that the domestic program and discipline are abolished, the government and government are colluding, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is making it difficult for us to study. Now they even want to take away the right of my scholars to set their hearts for heaven and earth and for the people, and want to hand over the world to businessmen and those so-called classmates who are not learned and unskilled to manage! ”

"This is the battle of Taoism, this is the battle of the world's scholars to defend the famous religion, we have read the book of the sages, we should stand up, defend the Taoism, defend the famous religion, and fight against the traitors in the DPRK and China to the end! The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the backbone of the person who reads cannot be lost! ”

"That's right! Stand up and defend the famous religion! ”

"The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the backbone of the person who reads cannot be lost!"

"Let's go and ring the bell and write a letter, asking the court to dismiss the traitors, reuse the gentleman, abolish the "Election Law", dissolve the parliamentary bureau, implement the scholars and doctors to share the world, and organize the scholars' council!"

"Yes, that's a good point, organize a council of scholars, and all major affairs in the world must be discussed by the scholars of the world!"

A group of hot-blooded scholars shouted loudly, everyone had an extremely excited expression on their faces, and the most energetic guy among them was none other than Weng Zifang, a scholar who had just come from Suzhou, well, it was Weng Tongxiao's eldest brother, Weng Xincun's son, and the father of Weng Zengyuan, a top student at the Law School of Jishi University. He has now made a lot of friends in Yingtian in the name of Suzhou Shizi - this kind of thing is simply easy for him, a scholar who grew up in a family of eunuchs, has also been a jinshi, and has been an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years. Of course, it would be difficult for the spies of Jinyiwei to do it. Because this scholar was a high-ranking scribe, it was inevitable that they would have to recite poems and discuss some issues in the subset of scriptures and poems. What do you want a gang of underworld-born spies to do? This matter has to be written by Weng Tongshu.

As for his true identity, the readers in this room did not inquire carefully. It's not that they don't have experience in underground work, but that most of the scholars who are now gathered in Nanjing are using fake names. Who let them all have families, property and clans, and they are all masters who can run monks and can't run temples? Although it is not against the current law of the Ming Dynasty to gather in Nanjing, discuss the government and politics, ring the bell and write books, and even go to the Imperial City Square for a group walk, who knows if this law will work? In case the emperor is angry, as long as the big guy does not reveal his identity, he can also smear oil on the soles of his feet and escape. If his identity is exposed, he may have to exterminate his family...... (To be continued......)
