I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 61 Operation to Exterminate Confucianism ([-])

Want to kill the fish and break the net?

Haha, literati think too much.

History proves that the barrel of a gun is more powerful than the barrel of a pen!
Since Yan Shenggong and his family became the protagonists of the Daming Tour Concert, countless young literati took to the streets to parade.

They scolded the court for inappropriateness, thinking that the court regards the law as a trifling matter!
If things go on like this, the country will not be a country, and people in the world will not fear the law.

Ethical chaos, moral collapse, no father and no mother...

Everything seems to appear due to punishment!
North Zhili, South Zhili, places where literature prospers everywhere, are "spontaneously" holding activities to speak out for Yan Shenggong.

These literati want to show Daming how stupid it is to punish Yan Shenggong.

To punish Yan Shenggong, countless crimes must be imposed on the ruler.

Then, these literati were all arrested.

First, the capital, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the literati who dared to gather were first warned.

Those who continued after the warning were all arrested and sent to prison by the Ministry of Punishment.

When the cell couldn't fit, they were pressed into the barracks.

Anyone who dares to run around will be killed on the spot!

Thousands of literati gathered in the capital organized three waves of demonstrations and were all arrested.

Then there are the major cities, which suffer the same treatment.

Anyone who dared to complain to Yan Shenggong was arrested.

With reason and evidence, act according to the law!
The literati of Ming Dynasty, who have always controlled public opinion, fell into a complete disadvantage in the face of the ridicule of the Ming Dynasty Weekly and countless drama troupes and storytellers hired by Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the most lively one was of course Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi's concert tour.

As long as Yan Shenggong holds a concert there, there will be literati gathering and parading.

Then he was roughly captured by the marching army.

A city, a town, a state, a government, countless cities.In a small Ludi, [-] literati were arrested.Plus their families!

The prisons are full.

The literati couldn't bear it, couldn't stretch it anymore.

Seeing so many people being arrested, everyone felt that the imperial court would not be able to withstand the pressure, and would use a weak way to make big things smaller.

Daming, after all, needs scholars to help them rule!

After waiting day after day, there was no announcement or imperial decree from the court.Instead, he scolded the literati for manipulating the Ming law even more severely.

Many literati have given birth to thoughts that they shouldn't have.

However, more literati chose to launch a more massive parade!
Then, a scene that made the literati of Ming Dynasty angry appeared.

Chongzhen issued an imperial decree, and the Xinjun suddenly announced that he would let the Xinjun and Jin Yiwei hold a public trial meeting for the literati of Ming Dynasty!

Without going through a joint trial by the three judicial divisions of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, mud legs and court eagle dogs were allowed to interrogate great literati.

I waited for everyone to be gentle and sweep the floor!

How can this make a literati face?

Your Majesty, are you really going to force us to rebel?
When countless Ming literati were angry, the new army had already escorted many literati who took the lead in making trouble.

The new army directly summoned the people of Ming Dynasty to hold a trial meeting!

In the south, the public trial conference in Jinling, Zhili, was the most powerful.

On this day, the sky was clear, and more than 1 people gathered outside Jinling City.

Around the grandstand of the public trial, a thousand soldiers from the new army and newly trained sheriffs patrolled to maintain order.

On a stand more than ten meters high, four young literati kneeled on the ground!

All four were tied up, their mouths were gagged, and they were unable to speak.

Down below, the voices of countless people shouting and talking resounded throughout.

Why did Ming people call the public trial conference a concert?
This is because the emperor is kind and lamented that it is not easy for the people. Every time the public trial is held, vendors are invited to sell all kinds of food.

"Candied haws~"

"Buns, buns with thin skin and big stuffing!"

"Young master, let's take a look at this rouge..."

The young literati ignored the shouts of the vendors and just looked up at the stands.

"That's the four great talents, Mr. Hou Fangyu, right?"

"That seems to be Fang Yizhi!"

"It's so gentle!"

"Wait and yell in unison during the trial, can't~"

Before they finished speaking, a few bunt men directly took these people away forcibly!

"How dare you disrupt the public trial meeting."

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Jin Yiwei is doing business, no one else is waiting to leave,"

The people who joined in the fun suddenly didn't dare to get together.

"These scholars are also unlucky. They were arrested during the street parade in Jinling, and they dared to come to the public trial to make trouble."

"No brains!"

"It deserves it, the crimes committed by these people are enough to kill them!"

"Hey, it's cheap for them to pick skin and cramps, at least a thousand knives."

"Hey, I saw a lot of women in the stands just now, they are so beautiful~"

Nourishing~
The sound of sizzling electricity spread in the public trial venue.

The huge sound makes the scene quiet!
The common people heard the sound of the loudspeaker for the first time.

The sound was so loud that it almost deafened the ears.

"quiet!"

A confident voice sounded from the microphone: "This official is Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Third Division of the New Army, who is acting on behalf of His Majesty Chongzhen to judge Hou Fangyu and other literati who caused troubles in Jinling City!"

After speaking, Sun Chuanting looked at the kneeling young man.

"Hou Fangyu, Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, you four should have a bright future, but you have repeatedly refused to listen to the repeated orders of Emperor Chongzhen. Gathered crowds, marched, discussed government affairs in private, said that the government's reforms were wrong, and tried to influence the future. Holy Duke Kong Yinzhi's guilt verdict. Do you know the crime?"

The soldiers of the new army pulled out the rag from Hou Fangyu's mouth.The other three asked them to continue kneeling!

cough~
Finally able to speak.

Hou Fangyu glanced at the good friends who were tied up around him, and then at the loudspeaker, thinking that God bless me too.

He said righteously: "Hmph, what is the crime of the four of us? Yan Shenggong was originally innocent, and all the crimes were caused by the treacherous villain around Emperor Chongzhen."

After speaking, Hou Fangyu looked at Sun Chuanting contemptuously, hating his betrayal in his heart.

This Sun Chuanting was originally a civil servant, why was he willing to become Chongzhen's running dog?
I don't know if I do this, will the world be in chaos?
Thinking of this, Hou Fangyu became even more righteous: "You have arranged for Yan Shenggong without any guilt, but you will not allow me to return the world to the world. You treacherous villains will be punished by heaven!"

Sun Chuanting smiled coldly: "Hey, give me a label? Unwarranted guilt? Haha, come, someone, and bring down the criminal Kong Yinzhi."

Hou Fangyu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, just in time to see a big fat man who was a bit thin coming over.

"Kong Yinzhi, the microphone is here, tell me about the crimes you have committed over the years!"

Hou Fangyu felt bad.

He wanted to say something to boost Kong Yinzhi's morale, but he was kicked by the new army.

boom!
"what……"

Hou Fangyu opened his mouth and screamed.

A lump of stinky rag was stuffed into his mouth!

woohoo~
Seeing Hou Fangyu's tragic appearance, Kong Yinzhi's heart was quite complicated, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

His whole family is under control, life and death are not up to him.

For the continuation of the family, I can only suffer you literati.

Afterwards, he saluted Sun Chuanting with a poignant smile, and then stated the crimes he had committed over the years.

"Everyone in the Ming Dynasty, I am Kong Yinzhi, a descendant of Kong Sheng, but I am not worthy to be his descendant. I have shamed my ancestors... I have committed countless crimes..."

Kong Yinzhi's speech was very thorough, without the appearance of coercion at all, which stunned the people of Ming Dynasty and the literati.

We still want to seek justice for Yan Shenggong, but this sufferer has rebelled!
I'll hit you a geoduck!

Hou Fangyu felt that his life was dark.

After Kong Yinzhi finished telling his crimes, it was time for Sun Chuanting to speak.

"Okay, the criminal Kong Yinzhi has finished explaining his guilt. All the court did not use the method of forced confession, and he answered voluntarily. What do you think? Is it?"

"Yes, I deserve what I deserve!"

Kong Yinzhi stood there stiffly.

He recalled the torment he had suffered in the past few days in his mind.

Although there is no physical torture to extract a confession, the mental and spiritual torture is even more terrifying!
"Okay, the criminal Kong Yinzhi has finished speaking. Then let us try these daring literati!"

Sun Chuanting signaled his subordinates to pull away the stinky rag: "Hou Fangyu, are you convicted?"

"I am not guilty."

The sound was carried throughout the venue through loudspeakers.

It is loud and powerful.

What a righteous gentleman!

Sun Chuanting sneered: "It's okay, I will let you have nothing to say."

PS: The ages of Xia Hou Fangyu and the other four young masters have been changed!Otherwise, they are all little kids at this time.
