Chapter 265: Public Opinion Kidnaps The Will, And The Kong Family Plays The Tragedy Card [Please Sub
Public opinion is a terrible weapon!
Especially in Yan Changqing's previous life, an era when public opinion was smooth and developed.
An ordinary netizen can easily create a wave of public opinion by casually compiling and fabricating a few false news, coupled with the promotion of a group of trolls.
At the least, an innocent person can be exposed to the Internet to the point of depression or even suicide!!!
More seriously, it can kidnap a country’s will, change its behavior, and even cause a country to self-disintegrate from within!!!
For example, in Yan Changqing's previous life, a country with a notorious reputation as the "Light of Human Freedom" caused a wave of color in other countries.
In essence, it is to spread false statements, expand extreme negative events, attract the empathy of many people, and stimulate people's dissatisfaction.
In the end, a massive public opinion was formed, which forced the country to take power and government, thereby kidnapping the country's will and forcing the country's will to succumb to the needs of the people who lacked reason to make choices due to temporary extreme emotions.
In the end, the goal of color revolution and disintegration of a country was achieved.
The most famous example is the "Red Light of Humanity" that once stood side by side with the "Light of Human Freedom". In fact, it was destroyed because of this.
This is the terrifying power that public opinion has after being manipulated by others.
If public opinion is used well, even a powerful country can easily collapse and destroy itself from within, let alone a mere Confucian family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The Kong family can be passed down for thousands of years, and it has a pivotal position no matter which dynasty or generation it is in.
In addition to the fact that every generation of the Kong family was the quickest to kneel down when encountering foreign enemies, there was another most important reason.
That is the protective shell of public opinion formed behind the Confucian family by the hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students and writers who support the Confucian family because of the Saint bloodline of the Confucian family!
It is precisely because in every dynasty and every generation, there are hundreds of thousands to nearly a million Confucian students and writers helping the Confucian family clear the ground and vigorously supporting the Confucian family.
Therefore, even though the Kong family had been slaves for fifty-five generations and ministers for twenty-three dynasties as of the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in front of the people all over the world, they are still promoted as a Saint family with high integrity, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, perseverance and unyielding, and a moral model for the world!
So if you want to knock the Kong family off the altar and into the quagmire!
Then there must be a wave of public opinion even more powerful than the hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students and literary students behind the Confucian family. The protective shell of public opinion formed by students was smashed into pieces!!!
Naturally, the only thing that can shatter the protective shell of public opinion formed by hundreds of thousands or nearly a million Confucian students and scholars is the frenzy of public opinion formed by thousands of people!!!
Of course, there are definitely not 60 million people in Yingtian Mansion at this moment, and there are only more than 100,000 people in Yingtian Mansion who can clearly hear Yan Changqing's speech.
However, the total number of Confucian students and literary students who were also present was only 8,000 to 8,000.
Such a number of Confucian students and literary students were unable to make any effective counterattack in the face of the public opinion frenzy formed by more than 100,000 people in Tianfu.
As long as everything that happened today has been concluded by the more than 100,000 people in Yingtian Mansion.
Then when today's events spread to the whole world, the people all over the world will naturally agree with the decision made by tens of thousands of people out of individual will and blind obedience to the collective will.
Then by then, all the glory and glorious past of the Kong family will be knocked into dust and thrown into the quagmire!!!
When people all over the world thought that the Kong family of the past nearly two thousand years was a family that collaborated with the enemy and treason, betrayed the country for glory, aided the tyrants, and was disloyal to their ancestors.
So even if the Kong family is not such a family in the first place, they will be denounced and identified as such a family by the public opinion of the people all over the world!
Similarly, the people of the world have denied the titles of Confucius such as Yanshenggong, Wenxuangong, Baoshenghou, Chongshenghou, Chongshengdofu, Fengshengtinghou, Zongshenghou, Fengsijun and so on.
So even if the Kong family still retains such a title, it will still be of no use.
To put it bluntly, the credibility represented by these titles was directly erased by Yan Changqing with the power of public opinion from the people of the world!!!
What does it mean to speak loudly and make gold, but to pile up and destroy bones?!!
This is called speaking out for gold, accumulating it and destroying it!!!
What's more, this is not Yan Changqing's slander of the Kong family.
Yan Changqing just revealed everything that the Kong family had done, and then compared it with some memories.
In the end, the people of the world are allowed to make the choices they think are right based on their simple emotional concepts.
However, Yan Changqing also knew very well that at this time, the more than 100,000 people in Yingtian Mansion dared to speak out against the Confucian family, even denounced the Confucian family, and deprived the Confucian family of all their past honors.
But once the more than 100,000 Yingtian Mansion people dispersed, not to mention a single Yingtian Mansion citizen would speak out against or denounce the Confucian family, they would not even dare to speak out against or denounce a scholar.
Because once an individual becomes a member of a group, he will no longer bear responsibility for his actions. At this time, everyone will expose their unconstrained side.
Similarly, what a group pursues and believes in is never truth and reason, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism, and only knows simple and extreme emotions.
Therefore, these more than 100,000 Yingtianfu people have merged into a collective public opinion. They don't have to worry about what responsibilities they will bear for what they do or say.
That's why they would so unscrupulously let their fanatical emotions dominate their rationality, and make blind choices one after another in the direction that Yan Changqing instigated.
Even though these choices are destroying a Saint family that has been passed down for nearly two thousand years!!!
Even the people of Yingtian Mansion, who had already fallen into a fanatical collective mood, would become even more violent after knowing that their choice could destroy a Confucius family that had been inherited for nearly two thousand years.
Because "why"?!!
How come the Kong family has been able to inherit the inheritance for nearly two thousand years, but it is difficult for them to survive for three generations?!!
Such thoughts will naturally appear in their minds, and then their dissatisfaction will further expand, and then their tendency to destroy the Kong family will become even stronger!!!
In the end, they will not calm down again until they either vent their dissatisfaction or destroy the Kong family to vent their dissatisfaction in disguise.
Yan Changqing shook his head slightly, temporarily putting aside all the messy thoughts in his mind.
He knew that his chance would only be once in a long time!!!
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang who saw that he was wantonly creating public opinion, stirring up public opinion, and controlling public opinion at this moment.
For a long period of time in the future, I will definitely not dare to let him bother with such a debate meeting involving more than 100,000 people.
After all, among the more than 100,000 people in Yingtian Mansion who were inspired by him, there is a real possibility of a large-scale civil uprising!!!
Therefore, we must take advantage of this opportunity to completely beat the Kong family to death, until they are beyond redemption and will never be able to stand up again!!!
"After we have eliminated all the unfaithful and unfilial members of the Kong family in the past, let's talk about the present of the Kong family."
Yan Changqing looked at Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao who were slumped on the wooden board, with a rare gentle expression on his face.
After hearing Yan Changqing's words, Kong Xixue looked up at Yan Changqing in numbness and confusion, and said dryly:
"You have already reduced the honor of the Kong family for thousands of years, isn't it enough?!!"
"What else do you want?!!"
"Do you really want to force the descendants of Saint to death?!!"
"The Confucian way of my ancestors of the Kong family has illuminated the eternal night and nourished the world for thousands of years!!!"
"Throughout the dynasties, among all the people in the world, from the emperor to the common people, who is not immune to the Master's legacy?!!"
"Now you want to completely wipe out the descendants of the Kong family who inherited the bloodline of Kong Sheng?!!"
"Have you ever had any conscience?!"
"Is this how you repay the teachings that Master brought to you?!!"
At the end of the speech, Kong Xixue struggled to stand up and pointed at Yan Changqing tremblingly.
Then he pointed at the Confucian students and literary students from all directions, the civil servants on another high platform who closed their eyes and did not look at the civil servants, and other Yingtian Mansion people roared.
Hearing Kong Xixue's roar, many Confucian students and literary students showed a look of shame on their faces.
Then a group of Confucian students and literary students all had firm faces and spoke one after another:
"The past is the past, and the present is now. The Kong family is descended from Saint after all. Don't be too harsh!"
"Even though the Kong family made many mistakes in the past, the Kong family has paid the price now!"
"Isn't it enough that the glory of the past two thousand years has been abandoned in one fell swoop?!!"
"How harsh are you going to be on the descendants of Confucius and Saints?!!"
"You must be a conscientious person!"
Even the civil servants on the high platform where Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting were faintly touched by Kong Xixue's words at this moment.
No matter what, the Kong family is ultimately the blood descendant of Kong Sheng!
No matter how you say it, it is still "if heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity will be like a long night."
Confucius’ teachings have truly blessed the world for two thousand years, and all scholars in the world have been blessed by Confucius.
With such a great achievement, no matter what, the Kong family should not be further harshed.
To wipe away the glory of the Kong family for the past two thousand years is already the biggest punishment for the Kong family.
"Your Majesty, the Kong family can't live like this!"
Song Lian, who was sitting at the top of the list of civil servants below and the leader of the current civil servants, tremblingly bowed his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and prayed.
The other civil servants were speechless, but they also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with pleading eyes, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would order the matter to end here.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked embarrassed, knowing that his treatment of the Kong family had almost reached its limit.
If we continue to deal with the Confucian family, it will inevitably make many civil servants, as well as Confucian students and writers all over the world, feel a sense of sadness and mutual hatred.
By then, it will be another big trouble for him and the court.
