"Outside the forester, you didn't see it, that scene, hey, hey, don't mention the wolf!"

"Shopkeeper Liu, tell me quickly, what's wrong in the end?"

"This is really the sun hitting the west and coming out, and the prefect of Suzhou can't persuade him, but the people of Suzhou punched him all the time, and beat the troublesome scholar with his head and rat, and even his shoes ran away, and some hid in the toilet, fell down and didn't say anything, don't say it, it's insulting!"

"If something so big happens, the prefect of Suzhou doesn't care?"

"The people's will, can the Suzhou prefect still send troops to suppress the people? Besides, he just has this heart, and he doesn't have the ability to transfer troops. ”

“”

What happened in Suzhou soon spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a lot of discussion in the Shengde Teahouse on Yamen West Street in Huzhou, and the shopkeeper Liu, who had just returned from Suzhou, was surrounded by everyone in the middle and became the focus of attention.

Huzhou is on the edge of Taihu Lake, the same is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, since ancient times it is the peak of literary style, now the scholars of Huzhou, the trouble is not light, from this Shengde teahouse, you can see the hustle and bustle of the scene in front of the state government.

"Outside the forester, let's hurry up and persuade Ling Lang, hurry home, don't look at the fierce trouble in various places now, and when the holy monarch is in power, it will not be suppressed with soldiers, but now the scholars are so unreasonable that it has aroused the anger of the people in many places;

I heard that in addition to Suzhou, Jiading, Changshu, Songjiang and other prefectures and counties for many years, the troublemakers have been dispersed by the people, especially Jiangyin, not to mention.

The name of the loyalty of the people of Jiangyin is heard all over the world, and when the Tartars go down to the south of the Yangtze River, the corpse mountain is full of white bones, and the lonely city of ten thousand deaths is not willing to surrender. The Son of Heaven sent 300 heroes across the river to rescue, fought a bloody night, killed countless enemies, and finally all 300 heroes died;

General Yuan Biwu was full of arrows. There are countless ones, and at the moment of his death, he raised his head to the sky and shouted, and with all his strength he plunged the black flag deep into the earth.

General Yuan Biwu's burly body stood against the flagpole, with a heartfelt smile on his well-defined face, half-open eyes, calmly looking at Jiangyin City, which could no longer be reached.

Everyone, please think about it, although General Yuan Biwu failed to reach Jiangyin City. But the people of Jiangyin will not forget it, the past is still vivid, and it is not easy to look forward to the prosperity of Great Qin, it has only been a few years!

This time, there were only ten or eight scholars who came out of Jiangyin to make trouble, but as soon as they appeared, they were beaten by the old and young people in Jiangyin with blue noses and swollen faces, and they had to expel these people from the city. ”

"That's too much. This scholar is also to defend the doctrine of the saints, so why not stop there? ”

"yes, yes!"

“”

Liu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this matter is really wrong with scholars." This time the turmoil. It was caused by the Son of Heaven's intention to reform the judiciary and make it more just. The Son of Heaven said: The deterrent power of punishment lies not in its harshness, but in its inevitability.

Jun no jokes, from this sentence. It cannot be seen that the Son of Heaven really did not have the intention of regaining the pre-Qin cool law and reforming the judiciary. It is just to make the officials who enforce the law more fair and honest, and to prevent officials from being corrupt and bending the law and harming the people as much as possible.

The Son of Heaven is dedicated to the people, and the reform of the judiciary is really benevolent and benevolent. However, now it is insisted that it is said to be heavy on the law and light on Confucianism, and this reason is far-fetched for anyone with a discerning eye to know when they hear it. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, what you said is not right, since this reason is far-fetched as soon as a discerning person hears it, then why do so many scholars in the world rise up to oppose it?"

"Don't worry, think about it first, if the judicial reform of the Son of Heaven is really implemented, who will benefit from it? Who are the victims? ”

"Oh, according to Shopkeeper Liu, it is undoubtedly the ordinary people who benefit, and the victims are those officials with bad intentions."

"By the way, the reform of the Son of Heaven is tantamount to cutting off the door for them to bend the law for bribes, there are so many officials in the world, and now that things are so big, it is indispensable for someone to fan the flames behind their backs and deliberately agitate. A lot of people who read books are just being used as guns. ”

When the forester heard this, he quietly withdrew from the crowd and hurried downstairs

Jiangnan is rich, commerce and trade are prosperous, and there are many chambers of commerce in various state capitals. And these chambers of commerce, as long as they don't say hello at night, there will be countless shopkeepers and guys like Shopkeeper Liu who can speak well to launch a powerful public opinion propaganda offensive together.

This time, Qin Mu did not use the strength of the army and the government to suppress the scholars, but mobilized ordinary people to condemn the scholars' protests, and the effect was very significant.

Since the beginning of southern Gansu, Qin Mu has been vigorously supporting industry and commerce, and encouraging merchants from all over the world to set up their own chambers of commerce, and there is no doubt that Qin Mu wants to raise the capitalist class to fight against the traditional gentry class.

The effect of this huge propaganda counterattack is so remarkable that the chambers of commerce in various places should take the lead in the organization, and they have very close contact with these chambers of commerce when they do not close at night, and a lot of information is collected through the guò chamber of commerce.

This time, the tacit understanding between the two made this public opinion counterattack quickly unfold and successfully led the public opinion orientation of the people.

In a way, this can be regarded as the first battle between the capitalist class and the traditional gentry class.

In Nanjing, the imperial capital, this public opinion war is more intense, and in March next year, the Ministry of Rites will hold a spring examination, and almost all the scholars who have obtained the qualifications to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination have gathered in Nanjing.

On the other hand, Nanjing City is also the place where Qin Mu's control is the strongest, and it is also the base camp of the capitalist class he supported.

In the past, almost all the right to speak in the world was in the hands of readers, and ordinary people believed what they said, and a scholar was enough to influence the perspective and orientation of ordinary people in ten miles and eight towns to look at things.

This time it was very different, those shopkeepers and guys who could speak well would first raise the banner of defending the Son of Heaven, if Qin Mu was an incompetent monarch, the people would definitely not eat them.

But on the contrary, Qin Mu, the emperor, has a very high prestige among the people, and many people take the initiative to set up an immortal card for him at home, and burn incense to worship him in the morning and evening.

In the mouths of countless shopkeepers and associates, the scholar was deliberately working against the emperor, so that it was easy to win the support of the people who were grateful to the emperor.

Ye Bu Hui spread a lot of conspiracy theories in it, saying that the scholars were stirred up by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those corrupt officials were worried that after the emperor reformed the judiciary, he would no longer be able to loot the people's fat and ointment, so they instigated this trend and wanted the emperor to retreat from the difficulties.

Conspiracy theories are always more marketable, no matter what time of year they are.

No matter how generously the scholars make their statements, they can only be defeated in the face of such inexplicable conspiracy theories.

The common people of the world always hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and as long as they are designated as the initiators, the people will always prefer to believe them.

What's more, behind this trend, there are indeed many officials behind who are fanning the flames for their own interests, and they are really not wronged too much.

Outside the wide Daqin Gate, there was a curtain that had never been seen before, thousands of scholars were knocking on the books, and tens of thousands of people were surrounded outside, shouting accusations against the scholars inside, saying that they did not know right from wrong, aided and abetted, and the sound was like a tide, and the scene was almost out of control.

The imperial court hurriedly dispatched troops to maintain order and separate the people on the periphery from the scholars inside. However, the people did not stop because of this, and the voices of reproach were loud and loud.

Some of them were radical and even began to throw rotten rotten eggs into it, so that the petitioners inside looked like prisoners parading through the streets.

At this moment, all the scholars are not people inside and outside, neither kneeling nor walking, they come to the door of Daqin, somewhat "for the people" meaning.

As a result, the "living people" saw their actions as unclear and abetted. Those rotten cabbage heads and rotten eggs were thrown in one after another, smashing the scholars into wolves.

What is the life for the living?

It's just your own doing.

There has never been a dynasty when the scholars of any dynasty collectively asked for their lives, and encountered such fierce opposition from the lower classes, which is really the strangest and most bizarre scene in history. (To be continued......)
