Chapter 375 The Minister of Science commits suicide, and the rebellious minister kneels down!
"It's really vicious! Poor these monks!"
Wang Wenkui, the chief assistant of the Puppet Dynasty, couldn't help sighing after learning that tens of thousands of monks and Taoists organized in Renhua County in an attempt to block the official army for them, but they were all executed.
Wei Boxiang said: "Where are there so many monks? It's just the last effort of the local gentry for those of us who stick to the ancestral system and the exclusive Neo-Confucianism. They don't dare to support us openly, they can only incite the tribe Xiangyong brought the monks controlled by them to stop us again!"
Wang Wenkui lamented even more after hearing this: "The hearts of the people are respectable! Hateful, God will not bless us!"
"Speaking of it, it's also the reason why our scholars are not in harmony. We only treat the gentry as the people, but Yuan Keli and Chen Zizhuang regard the head of Guizhou as the people, so that they also support Uncle Zhang Guoshu's reform. Although the building is about to collapse , but it can’t let them have no loss, this Chen Zizhuang is from Nanhai, Guangdong, why not destroy his ancestral grave to warn the shameless villains in the world!”
Wei Boxiang said.
Wang Wenkui thought of what Chen Zizhuang brought back by Zhu Zhiyu's trustee said that they should not be too extreme, and thought that he might still fall into their hands, and it was indeed not appropriate to be too extreme, so he waved his hands and said:
"No need! He, Chen Zizhuang, is a son of the gentry after all, we have to talk about benevolence and righteousness!"
"For the disobedient common people, you can dig their ancestral graves and force them to serve, but for the gentry, you must pay attention to benevolence, otherwise, you will not do benevolence and righteousness, and it will not be conducive to the transformation of offensive and defensive forces in the future. This is what the sage taught us Reason, how can you not listen?"
"What Yuanfu said was that the lower officials didn't think about it."
Wei Boxiang hurriedly replied, and he had to admit that for people of the same class, it really shouldn't be too embarrassing.
Wang Wenkui even said at this time: "Send some reliable soldiers to guard the tomb for the Chen family, so as not to be destroyed by the rioters!"
"clear!"
Wei Boxiang was taken aback for a moment, but he still suppressed his inner discomfort with Wang Wenkui's courtship of the Chen family, and agreed.
"Yuansuke, General Leed has arrived!"
At this time, Wang Wenkui's staff came to report.
Wang Wenkui hurriedly said after hearing this: "General, please come in!" Then, let Wei Boxiang stay here first and accompany the guests with him.
At this time, Lild walked in and asked, "Yuansuke, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Wang Wenkui said with a smile: "The traitors are powerful now, but we don't have many ships, and most of the ships are your ships. Therefore, I wonder if you should abandon your own people and let our majesty and the minister The ministers boarded the ship and moved to Haojing?"
Wang Wenkui went on to say: "I know that your Excellency the governor has given you full power to deal with the affairs of this dynasty, so you must have the power to deal with this matter."
"I have this power."
Lild replied, and asked again: "But Yuansuke, do you seem to be begging for help now?"
Lild is a master of the Ming Dynasty, he has mastered the official language of the Ming Dynasty, he is also familiar with Han culture, and he also knows the Han scholars and bureaucrats very well, and now he has also discovered the weakness of the puppet dynasty, knowing that the small southern court can hardly protect itself, so he decided to Sit down and bid up.
After hearing Liard's words, Wei Boxiang couldn't help standing up.
Wang Wenkui took Wei Boxiang's hand at this time, pulled him back to the chair, and asked with a smile: "The general thinks, why does it look like a gesture of asking for help?"
"Should kneel down!"
Lild suddenly said sharply.
Wei Boxiang glanced at Wang Wenkui.
Lield 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, it's okay, but we have three conditions."
"Speaking."
Wang Wenkui said.
"First, by means of an edict issued by the emperor of your country, admit that Haojing has always been our Portuguese territory, and then compensate you for the leased silver that you illegally collected."
"Second, you need to pay the boat fare, 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 fools! And you need to change clothes and customs."
Leard said.
"Fourth, you need to recognize our King as the monarch."
"Fifth, you need to change to our name and speak our language."
"Yuansuke!"
Wei Boxiang hurriedly called out at this time, he really didn't expect that the foreigner Liard from Haojing would go so far! To ask them to donate soil directly, but also to pay money, and more importantly, to give up their own customs of the Han family.
Wang Wenkui didn't expect it either, but he ignored Wei Boxiang at this time, and he didn't choose to reject Liard, saying: "We are willing!"
Lild laughed, stretched out his hand to Wang Wenkui, and said, "Then ask Yuansuke to get up. I hope Yuansuke can understand, if not, I can't give up some of our own officers, soldiers and slaves, but advance Take you away."
Wang Wenkui nodded: "Understood!"
As he said that, Wang Wenkui personally invited Lild to the study and asked him to prepare the edict.
But Wei Boxiang took the opportunity to leave here without making a sound, and went home alone. After arranging soldiers to show the Chen family the ancestral grave, he came to the Ministry of Industry, sat in his duty room, and looked at the people under the eaves. Born in Raindrop, he smiled wryly from time to time.
Wei Boxiang really couldn't accept Wang Wenkui's shameless behavior, so that he could escape from the sea, he did not hesitate to flatter the barbarians, and even gave up the ancestral system of Confucianism he insisted on, and even the civilization of the Han family. dog.
Thinking of this, Wei Boxiang couldn't sleep at night, he couldn't eat because of hunger.
However, Wang Wenkui did not feel these uncomfortable feelings. Instead, he boarded Lild's ship together with some ministers and ministers who were one with him, as well as a group of family members and money.
Wang Wenkui also sent someone to notify Wei Boxiang, who obviously valued Wei Boxiang.
You know, he didn’t even notify Zhao Shichun, and he didn’t even notify the orphan of the false prince Yiwang brought by Zhao Shichun who was established as the emperor.
But on the day when Wang Wenkui was about to board the ship and escape, Wei Boxiang suddenly ran up to Wang Wenkui, pulled out the pistol hidden in his sleeve, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Why is this?! I have pride in Neo-Confucianism, but how could I have fallen into such a trap?" It has come to the point of flattering the barbarians and humiliating the country! Why did it end up here! Why?!"
Wei Boxiang shouted hysterically with tears in his eyes.
Wang Wenkui was frightened. He thought Wei Boxiang was going to assassinate him, so his legs softened and he knelt down.
"Why is the world so bad and Neo Confucianism so bad!"
But Wei Boxiang aimed the gun at his temple while speaking at this time.
boom!
Then, Wei Boxiang, who really wanted to restore the system of 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.
