Chongzhen Chat Group

After Tian Guifei heard the last part, she couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned, turned to look at them and shouted: "You bunch of scholars, don't do serious things, just compare each other with these things?"

Fang Zhenghua and Liu Xingzuo couldn't bear to listen, but they didn't speak because of their status. When they heard the imperial concubine speak, they all immediately turned around and stared at the scholar over there with unkind eyes.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned around and looked at them with his hands behind his back.

When the scholars heard this, they turned their heads and looked here. Naturally, they immediately heard that Concubine Tian was a woman disguised as a man. They were surprised at first and a little stunned by Concubine Tian's beauty. However, they also saw that these people were not easy to mess with, so I don't dare to be angry.

The first scholar among them smiled and replied: "Young Master, what you said is wrong! It is precisely because we are all scholars that we like elegant things. We drink fragrant tea, use exquisite utensils, and wear exquisite clothes. It is really true that we are all scholars." One of the great pleasures in life!"

"Yes, yes, these are the most popular ones in our Ming Dynasty." Another scholar immediately nodded in agreement, "It's even worse in Su, Yang and other places. If we don't have the dignity in these aspects, we won't be able to go out!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned again, and he immediately said: "How do you put all your thoughts on the dignity of scholars? Isn't it just you, but also the whole Jiangnan area?"

"This young master seems to have just come from the north, right?" Another scholar immediately continued: "If you walk around Jiangnan more, you will know that what we say is true. And it is not just us scholars, including the sons of officials and merchants. , even traffickers and lackeys, etc., all pay attention to this kind of dignity. In fact, it is just that, people only rely on their face, and they can ignore other things. This face must be had. "

"That's right. These places in our countryside are pretty good." The scholar who spoke first also added, "Young master looks like he is going to Suzhou City. You can see it wherever you go. When you go out, this Face matters are the most important thing."

At this point, he paused and gave an example: "Every household must have a set of clothes that can be worn when going out. Even if you don't have money, you should have it. Even if you have money, it's even less important. If you put in the effort, you will be able to wear this set of clothes. Comparing others with their wardrobe. If you go out to a restaurant to have a meal, it would be embarrassing if you don’t order a few more items and put them there. If there is a happy event at home and a banquet is held, then the variety of dishes and other dishes at the banquet must be better than others. …”

They scholars talked eloquently and took turns, until everyone on Emperor Chongzhen's side fell silent. As a result, the conversation seemed to get more intense. The scholar closest to him even added: "It's the same, the craftsmen are here There was no status in the past, but now, as long as you have unique skills, such as these clothes, such as this porcelain, etc., as long as you can make fine things, you can become a distinguished guest of a wealthy family! Haha, in short, we in the south of the Yangtze River are different from those in the north !”

As he spoke, he seemed to get carried away for a moment, and showed a sense of superiority, vaguely conveying the feeling that Jiangnan had towards country bumpkins that was unique to northerners in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Xingzuo felt it immediately and couldn't help but became angry. He felt that Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about them talking to these scholars, so he shouted: "You are so luxurious and decadent. Do you know that the people in the north will starve to death if they don't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm?" ? Do you know that the Jianlu were wreaking havoc? Do you know..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a scholar interrupted him and said in a nonchalant tone: "So what, what does it have to do with us? We can spend our own money however we want. Things in the north, It’s a matter for the imperial court, so what does it have to do with us?”

"Yes, we can spend our own money however we like. Even the government can't say anything, right?" Another scholar echoed.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face darkened and he said to them: "You scholars, can you sing the national anthem? Do you remember the meaning of the lyrics?"

"What the hell is that? Whoever wants to sing can sing it!" Or some scholar is not happy because he senses the evil here.

Fang Zhenghua knew that the national anthem was the emperor's favorite work. It was implemented in government offices, academies and other places across the country. The national flag must be raised and the national anthem must be sung. He didn't expect these scholars to be so rude. He got angry and took a few steps forward, ready to teach these scholars a lesson.

"What do you want to do? Do you still want to beat someone?" Several scholars changed their expressions and stood up one after another. One of them said, "My uncle is the head catcher in the Suzhou Yamen. I would like to advise you northerners, but Don’t mess around, or you’ll get sued!”

Haha, it’s just a small arrest. It’s the Suzhou magistrate here who utters arrogant words. If we beat him, we’ll beat him. What else can we do? With this thought in mind, Fang Zhenghua didn't stop, and even made a gesture with his hands, wanting to hit someone.

"Stop!" A soft shout sounded. Although the voice was very low, Fang Zhenghua immediately stopped, turned around and walked back obediently. There is no other way. The emperor dares not to listen when he speaks.

When the scholars saw him, they looked a little scared. They didn't dare to stay any longer, so they immediately packed up their things and left in a hurry. When they walked outside, the man who just shouted loudly inside: "Don't you like us? If you have the ability, go to Suzhou City. There are many places you can't understand there. If you have the ability, go beat people!"

The plainclothes guards outside did not know what was going on, but when they heard them shouting at the emperor, they immediately put down everything in their hands and surrounded them. They were so frightened that the legs of the scholars trembled, and one of them moved out again. His uncle.

Fortunately, the plainclothes Jin Yiwei over there saw their commander gesturing to them and let them go. However, these scholars did not dare to speak anymore and immediately dispersed.

"Master, we should have let the villain teach them a lesson just now!" Fang Zhenghua said to Emperor Chongzhen as he felt hard to breathe.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at him and said with a serious face: "They are right about one thing. They can spend their own money however they want! You can't beat them because they can't sing the national anthem."

Having said this, he turned to look at the scenery in the distance. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I have also heard a little about the situation in Jiangnan. I have experienced it myself, but I have different feelings. Let's take a look. , if it is true, as these few people said, that the customs in Jiangnan are indeed like this, then the imperial court is also responsible, and it is necessary to take advantage of the situation to change this custom and change this situation!"

In the original late Ming Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River was a prosperous and prosperous country, while the north was in dire straits, but it seemed that the two were not in the same country and had nothing to do with each other. In the end, the bandits entered Jiangnan and the captives entered Jiangnan. In the end, no one could stay away.

I went to socialize tonight and came back late, so this is the only chapter left. Thanks for the reward of Apple Six Bags!
