Zihua Bookstore was sealed and "Science" was banned. Although it was beyond Zhou Ming's expectation, it cannot be said that he was not mentally prepared at all and was completely caught off guard.

In fact, for this kind of accident, Zhou Ming had prepared multiple response plans to prevent accidents as early as the beginning of the "Zihua Bookstore Second Phase Plan".

And for more than ten years since the beginning, Queen Wu Zhao and Princess Changping have quietly acted as the protective umbrella of this plan, so the situations envisaged in the plan have never happened.

However, Zhou Ming did not expect that Emperor Li Wei, who was half of his own blood and knew that Zihua Bookstore was his father's property, would be so ruthless. He did not hesitate for a moment when the butcher knife fell, and he acted quickly, leaving Zhou Ming with nothing. Ming's reaction time was extremely short.

"Li Wei, I am your biological father! I have written to you many times and sponsored you tens of millions of gold and silver and a large number of firearms to help you conquer the Western Regions. I just hope that you will take care of my Zihua Bookstore. You Is this how you repay your father?"

Zhou Ming felt extremely angry when he recalled that he had provided a lot of help to his son, but in exchange for this kind of repayment.

but……

Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times. This boy, even his mother can be locked up in a deep palace and has not been able to see the outside world for many years. He has never seen his father in person a few times. So what if he cheats him?

In addition, the root cause of the incident of burning books and entrapping Chinese people did not lie with Li Wei, but with the Holy Doctrine of Science and Education. Once this set of ideas came out, it was extremely hated by countless Confucianists! He regards it as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, a mortal enemy who wants to get rid of him quickly!

Confucianism is the direct driving force behind this incident!

Why is Confucianism so hostile to the new science and education and so ruthless?

Mainly because the two ideological doctrines are diametrically opposed in many aspects. In essence, they are fundamentally different and can be said to be completely opposite.

What are the core ideas of Confucianism?

It is humility and propriety, the ruler and his ministers, orderly respect and order, benevolence and morality, repaying evil with kindness, belief in the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, idealism that sits down to discuss the Tao and believes that the thoughts of saints can change the world.

So, what about science and education?

It is the study of things to achieve knowledge, the pursuit of truth in practice, the recognition that productivity determines social relations, the practical materialism that believes that matter can determine thoughts.

Two ideas, one virtual and one real, one static and one moving, both have many advantages. It seems that the combination will be perfect. How can they become a pair of mortal enemies?

It turns out that the so-called Confucianism has developed for thousands of years, and has long since turned the original morality of benevolence and righteousness, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, into a virgin skin on the surface, and its core essence has long been degenerated into catering to the ruling class. Cynicism.

The core of this cynicism is the word "loyalty and filial piety", which requires subjects to be loyal to the emperor and obey the emperor's orders unconditionally; requires women to abide by the three obediences and four virtues; requires filial sons to observe filial piety for three years... By the way, he also requires those mud-legged farmers in his own manor to work for him Live until death, don't resist!

The new science and education does not cater to any class, but only caters to the inherent laws and formulas of all things.

Therefore, scientologists who believe in science and education see that overseas cultural countries are full of factories, productivity is developing rapidly, and the living standard of the working class is far higher than that of farmers, so they encourage industrialization and liberate those farmers who have lost their land due to land annexation; they advocate men and women Equality, freedom of marriage, protection of women's basic rights; in addition, death is like a lamp going out, there are no ghosts and gods in this world, so there is no need to express one's filial piety by observing filial piety for three years...

Regarding the feudal emperors, scientists, after seeing the various advantages shown in the operation of the constitutional monarchy system in overseas civilized countries, many scientists privately believe that a mediocre king in a society governed by law is worse than a society governed by men. It is better for a wise emperor to rule the world with the wisdom of one person than to rule the world with the wisdom of many...

Of course, scientologists will not spread such views that irritate the nerves of feudal emperors and cause disasters such as "executing the Nine Tribes" at every turn. These treasonous words can only be said in the overseas Wenguo, and in mainland China. On Zhou's side, everyone put their tail between their legs and conducted their own scientific research behind closed doors.

Emperor Li Wei was not a fool. When he heard what the ministers were saying, he turned his head a little and realized that that set of ideas was conducive to his rule, and that set of ideas would bring endless disasters... So he raised the gun without hesitation. Butcher's knife, eradicate that scourge.

In order to eradicate it more thoroughly, he would kill even one hundred thousand heads, one million heads, or even tens of millions of heads!

Because he wants to rule the world and become a greater emperor than the First Emperor!

Therefore, no matter what the thought or who the person is, as long as they dare to stand in front of him, he will let them perish!

Even the so-called overseas Wenguo, a barbaric island country that always sounded in his ears and gave people a sense of greatness, he would send troops to destroy it, so that only one voice in the world could be heard praising him for his greatness!

Therefore, starting from the sixth year of Tianyuan, Li Wei recruited millions of craftsmen and civilians to cut down giant trees and build large-scale ships; he appointed artifact supervisors to imitate muskets and artillery in large quantities; he also sent generals who were proficient in water warfare to train the navy, and spent three years to create Thousands of warships have been produced, and a navy of 500,000 people has been trained, with advanced equipment and high morale!

In the ninth year of Tianyuan, on the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, on the day of the expedition, this fleet was even more powerful, covering the sky and the sun, with a boundless momentum that wanted to swallow up the entire world!

Looking at this fleet, Li Wei, who claimed to be the "Super First Emperor", was very confident. He believed that this fleet was built after spending all the gold and silver he earned from the countries in the far west during the Western Expedition. The fleet will definitely not disappoint him. It will definitely be able to capture all the gold, silver and copper islands of the overseas Wen country. It will definitely be able to plunder all the overseas Wen country and massacre its tens of millions of people, so as to avoid future troubles forever!

As for his biological father, it would be best if he could be captured alive. If he could not be captured alive, it would be best to make him disappear forever and never appear again...

Holding a piece of intelligence in his hand, Zhou Ming, who had been sitting still for the past few years, was ready to wait for Li Wei to make the first move. After reading the intelligence, he put it aside and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "Li Wei, Li Wei, it seems You really lack fatherly love and you want me, my father, to give you a good spanking!"

After muttering, Zhou Ming signed the "departure order" on the table, and relayed the signal through wireless telegraph ships. Three days later, a fleet of fifty-five iron-armored ships with no sails on the decks, spewing steam, and a displacement of more than three The huge thousand-ton fleet set off from Weihai Port on Qizhou Island and sailed quickly westward at an average speed of twelve knots.

On the eighth day of September, at ten o'clock in the morning, a shocking naval battle broke out on the sea more than 20 miles off the Baijiang Estuary of Gaoji State. It was known in history as the "Battle of Baijiang Estuary".

The process of this naval battle was boring and boring. There was nothing to describe. It was just a massacre of steam armor against wooden sailing ships. Thousands of Zhou warships were wiped out, and only three or five small fish escaped. Overseas Wenguo, and Single-digit casualties, more than 200,000 enemy killed and nearly 300,000 prisoners.

After the Battle of Baijiangkou, Zhou Ming personally led a huge landing fleet from the Zhongjiang River on the coast of Yangzhou. At a speed of less than eight knots, he sailed upstream and easily destroyed several inland river defense fleets in the Zhongjiang River. , Thirteen days later, the landing fleet landed on the shore of Luoshui, less than two hundred miles away from the imperial capital Luojing. Among the fifty-two landing ships, a landing combat force of ten thousand people disembarked, and then this force , following the broad official road, it took a day and a half to arrive at the gate of the imperial capital.

In one and a half days, they marched two hundred miles. Many people expressed disbelief. The reason why the march was so fast was because this landing force was equipped with 2,000 internal combustion-powered vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with eight-horsepower heat pipes. The engine has a load capacity of up to one ton, a maximum speed of 15km/h, a shock-proof chassis, and rubber pneumatic tires, allowing these cars to drive about 300 kilometers without failure on average road conditions.

However, during the first actual application, the performance of these cars was not satisfactory. In just over 100 kilometers, more than 1,100 of these two thousand internal combustion cars were scrapped and abandoned on both sides of the road due to various failures. .

Of course, although these cars were not very powerful, they still barely achieved the purpose of the lightning march, leaving Super First Emperor Li Wei with no time to make preparations to escape from the imperial capital. He was blocked in the city and was not allowed to escape.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After several loud noises, several city gates of the Imperial City were blown open by high-energy explosives. Nearly 10,000 landing troops armed with repeatable machine guns swarmed in. When encountering resistance, they "burst" as if there was no one inside. Like the situation, the troops in the city suffered heavy casualties and numerous surrenders.

The first troops who entered the city by car quickly surrounded the Daming Palace. After the large troops arrived, they launched smoothbore cannons, blasted open the Xuanwu Gate, and entered the palace. After two or three hours of fighting, they led a group of eunuchs and retreated. The super-first emperor Li Wei, who entered a palace and resisted in a corner, performed very bravely. One man killed seventeen soldiers who followed Zhou Ming's order and used cold weapons to capture him alive. He also kept shouting: "I am the true dragon emperor!" You can't kill me! When my army comes, I will definitely kill you all!"

"bump!"

Wearing a sealed iron armor with only one eye slit, a man with an iron tower, who looked like an iron can, first slapped the sword away from Li Wei's hand, and then slapped him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious to the ground. The soldiers quickly came forward and tied him up with ropes.

It turned out that this big man from the Black Tower was Li Tiejin, the grandson of Li Dazui. He was two meters tall and had infinite power, even more powerful than his grandfather. Zhou Ming brought him here, and it really came in handy.

He caught Li Wei and released the Empress Dowager Chang Ping who had been imprisoned in the palace for nearly ten years. Her hair had turned completely white and her body had become somewhat numb and demented. She fed her several pills of elixir for a long time. , Li Changping recovered, and then assisted Zhou Ming to stabilize the Great Zhou Court.

A month later, the imperial capital Luojing was surrounded by an army of 200,000 King Qin. All states in the world launched rebellions one after another. In the imperial capital, countless loyal ministers and righteous men secretly contacted each other to prepare to kill the traitor Tian Zihua and rescue the emperor Li Wei.

However, on October 25th, in the Taiji Palace, in front of all the ministers and officials, the Empress Dowager Changping revealed a big piece of news, which shocked the ministers. Millions of people in the imperial capital and 200,000 people outside the city were shocked. King Qin's army couldn't help but exclaim: "How is it possible? His Majesty the Emperor is actually the son of Emperor Wen Tian Zihua?"

It turned out that the information revealed by the Empress Dowager Changping revealed the mystery of Emperor Li Wei's life experience, saying that his biological father was none other than Emperor Wen Tian Zihua of the overseas Wen Kingdom.

The ministers shouted in disbelief and even called it ridiculous! But when Zhou Ming personally pulled Li Wei, who was tied up with a rope, and appeared in the palace together, facing the ministers together, the two people's faces were more than 50% similar, coupled with the narration of the Empress Dowager Changping, even though Li Wei denied it: "He is not my father, he is not my father!" But after the test of blood compatibility and blood compatibility, most of the ministers in the palace remained silent and accepted this fact.

At this time, Zhou Ming loudly accused Li Wei in front of the ministers, saying that he "has three unfilial piety and is not worthy of being an emperor!"

If you are unfilial, you will imprison your biological mother, destroy your father's business, be selfish and treasonous!

The second is unfilial, sending troops to his father's country, plotting against his father's land, being unruly and undisciplined, and insisting on going his own way!

The third act of unfilial piety, with his father standing by his side, denies it flat out, he is worse than a beast and should not be an emperor!

After announcing these three acts of unfilial piety, Empress Dowager Changping discussed with Emperor Wen and decided to depose Emperor Li Wei! The new emperor will be re-elected in ten days.

Not only that, in order to punish the deposed emperor Li Wei for various unfilial acts, Zhou Ming ordered people to build a ten-foot-high "Emperor Beating Platform", and in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital and 200,000 King Qin's army, he used whips to After beating Li Wei hundreds of times, he repeatedly begged for mercy and shouted, "I don't dare, I don't dare!" Seeing that his buttocks were bloody and bloody from the beatings, Zhou Ming stopped and asked someone to lift him off.

The next day, all King Qin's army outside the city withdrew, and all the ministers and officials in the imperial capital also stopped their activities and prepared to welcome the new emperor. Those loyal ministers and righteous men who had made secret contacts also gave up their plan to rescue Li Wei. The impassioned and angry voices from Shizhou also gradually died down.

Some people may ask: Why did the situation change so dramatically? Why doesn't everyone care about the deposed emperor Li Wei?

Because the people's hearts in this world are no longer with him.

One, the deposed emperor Li Wei was indeed unfilial. He imprisoned his mother and bullied his father, which is unacceptable. Such conduct makes it difficult for people to believe that he would be a good emperor, but he might be a tyrant.

Two, the mother was abused by her son, and the father and son were beaten back and forth. In the end, it was other people's private affairs and outsiders had nothing to do with it. As for who the next emperor would be, it was up to his parents to decide. As long as it did not affect people's normal lives, they would No big opinion...
