Kyoto, Great Wei.
Inside the Wenhua Palace.
Xu Qingnian’s gaze was slowly withdrawn from the Palace of Literature.
“Someone!”
The next moment, his voice was cold.
Within the Wenhua Hall, the hundred officials looked at Xu Qingnian, not knowing what Xu Qingnian was up to again.
“Eight gates of the Jing soldiers listen to the order.”
“Suppress the Great Wei Palace of Literature, detain all the Confucian scholars, Zhang Ning and others in the Heavenly Prison, and behead anyone who dares to obstruct them!”
“Round up all Confucian students outside the palace and detain them in the Heavenly Prison, if anyone dares to interfere with the clamour, behead them!”
Xu Qingnian’s two orders went down, and no one in the hall objected.
There was only a cold and merciless response.
“We obey!”
As the words fell, several military officials walked straight out of Wenhua Hall, their faces cold, and went to deal with the matter.
“These people, it is time to suppress them, at this juncture, they are making the most noise, to say that they are not gloating, I don’t believe it.”
He was a great Confucian, but he did not have any objection to Xu Qingnian’s choice.
He even fully supported Xu Qingnian’s decision to do so.
It was wrong for Xu Qingnian to kill and surrender.
But the question is, it is not necessary for his own people to make such a fuss, right? If it was a rebellion by a va*sal king of Wei and Xu Qingnian was killing his own people, Chen Zhengru could understand why you were making such a fuss.
Killing each other!
But the people killed were foreigners, and to take a step back, the people who died were also foreigners.
Even if he did something wrong, he did it for the sake of Wei, so can’t you wait? Can’t you wait until the matter is over and then you can say a few words?
Now you’re making a scene at this juncture? You want Wei to be in turmoil, don’t you?
Chen Zhengru also became angry.
“Lord Xu, leave this matter to me, I will give Lord Xu a result.”
He could not say much about warfare, but he was definitely one of the best when it came to internal affairs.
“Thank you, Minister Chen.”
Feeling the firmness in Chen Zhengru’s eyes, Xu Qingnian knew that Chen Zhengru was not trying to cover up for him, nor was he trying to round up the situation, he really wanted to suppress civil unrest.
Therefore, Xu Qingnian agreed in one breath.
“Lord Xu, I’ll go too, to help Shang Shu Chen.”
And at this moment, Wang Xinzhi followed suit, his meaning was the same as Chen Zhengru’s.
“Good, I’ll trouble the two Shang Shu.”
Xu Qingnian nodded his head.
But next, the Minister of Penalty also opened his mouth to go over and take a look, Xu Qingnian was a bit tearful, but after thinking about it, three of the six Ministerial Shang Shu had gone to suppress the Great Wei Palace of Literature, so it was considered worthy of the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
“Fine! In that case, all the Shang Shu are thankful.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t say much more, there was naturally no problem leaving the internal affairs to these three Shang Shu.
The Great Wei Palace of Literature was bound to plant a big heel this time.
And the matter at hand was not the Great Wei Wen Gong, but the Second Battle of Great Wei.
In the first battle, the two-hour capture of the tombs was a miracle and a battle of luck.
But in the second battle, it was a real battle. Tang, Amuta, and Tuliang would surely be on full defence, and the killing of the surrender would only have reached their ears.
There was no chance of surrender in this battle.
We must fight hard.
Take swords, take guns, fight with your life, kill with your life.
But hard fighting is inevitable, wisdom must also be, Xu Qingnian has already laid out a game, with luck, within five days, take the three countries.
If we are not lucky, we will take 100,000 lives in ten days to conquer the three kingdoms.
Great Wei!
We cannot delay!
The next moment.
Chen Zhengru, Wang Xinzhi and Zhang Jing left the Mandarin’s Palace and went to target the affairs of the Grand Wei Palace of Literature.
And in Great Wei.
With the free distribution of the Great Wei Wenhua newspaper.
More and more people knew about the current war and situation.
[Those who commit crimes against Great Wei will be punished from afar]
This article was so powerful that it was written by Xu Qingnian himself.
Many of the people, without even reading the content, were already boiling with enthusiasm at the mere sight of the eight words.
As for the matter of killing and surrendering, they simply didn’t care.
But this article was not just for the people at the bottom, it was also for the whole of Great Wei to read.
In the middle of Nan Yu Province.
A tavern.
An old man, holding the Great Wei newspaper in his hand, spoke fiercely, recounting the contents of the newspaper.
Four or five hundred people blocked the top and bottom of the restaurant.
“People, the first battle of the Great Wei was a great victory, two hours, and the surrender of the tombs.”
“But this great victory cost the blood of 23,000 generals, and the surrender of the tombs was not a sincere surrender, but a surrender in fear of Great Wei.”
“Xu Shouren killed the surrender, not for the sake of killing, but to shock the hundred nations.”
“A month ago, the twelve va*sal states impeached Xu Shouren, what a shame is that?”
“No matter what Lord Xu has done wrong, let’s just say that he is only a va*sal state, who is he to impeach a minister of Great Wei? Is it the business of these foreigners to interfere in our internal affairs?”
“But what is Great Wei? It is a benevolent and righteous nation, above the upper kingdoms, and instead of sending troops and suppressing them, Great Wei warned the twelve foreign nations to send messengers to the capital to ask for their sins.”
“Did they listen? They did not listen!”
“And then they united with the Hundred Kingdoms to exert pressure, the wolves’ ambition is known to all, the impeachment of Lord Xu is a false intention, what is his true intention? It is nothing but a desire to break away from Great Wei and defect to another country.”
“The court did not agree, they continued to exert pressure, Lord Xu wrote three holy decrees in a row, giving three chances to the hundred kingdoms, but what did he get in return? It was the shame of the foreigners.”
“Look at what this Great Wei literary newspaper has written, the foreigners laugh at my Great Wei’s incompetence, at my Great Wei’s lack of balls, they take our benevolence and righteousness as weakness, as cowardice, as fear.”
“I ask you all, the foreigners are so abusive and riding on the face of our Great Wei, can we tolerate this matter?”
Speaking with impa*sioned enthusiasm, he gripped the paper with a trembling voice and asked all the people present.
“No!”
“Put up with his F**king legs.”
“Put up with it, a bunch of sons of B*tches.”
The people responded loudly, the events of a few days ago were still fresh in their minds, three holy warnings in return for not an apology, but ridicule, a mockery, a breath of anger held in the hearts of the people of Great Wei.
During that time, the people of Wei gathered together and just cursed the incompetence of the court and the cowardice of the soldiers.
They could see it all too clearly and had not forgotten it.
After receiving the people’s reply, this Fu Zi’s voice became even more impa*sioned.
“We can’t endure it, and neither can the imperial court. Lord Xu has unified the six ministries and hundred officials, gathered three large armies, and divided the troops into three directions.”
“It took only one day for the Marquis of Xinwu to arrive at the tombs and attack the city gates by night.”
“In two hours, 20,000 people died, and the ruler of the Tomato Kingdom was still dreaming of spring and autumn, thinking it would be fine if he surrendered.”
“Who will compensate for the lives of 20,000 generals?”
“And who will make up for the wounds of Great Wei?”
“If Great Wei is surrendered, then I ask, does it mean that from now on, no matter how many people die, as long as they are willing to surrender, we will have to accept it?”
“Even if the Hundred Kingdoms surrender and the scourge is pacified, I ask, will they not continue to trouble my Great Wei next time?”
“For this group of wolves, we can only fight!”
“And fight to the death.”
“170,000 surrendered soldiers, well done! Good job! If we don’t kill them, we won’t be able to show the might of our country!”
“Gentlemen!”
“The real big change in Great Wei has come since the Northern Expedition, and Lord Xu has written it clearly in the literature.”
“From now on, we should support the Great Wei court unconditionally, and not listen to any words that are not from the court, and not spread any rumours that are harmful to Great Wei.”
“If Great Wei falls, we will not be able to live on, the women of Great Wei will be slaves of the foreigners, and we will die by the swords of the foreigners.”
“At this time, the armies of Great Wei, are fighting in the front, while we should guard Great Wei from civil unrest, whoever engages in civil unrest is a spy and a sinner.”
“Don’t let the shame of Jingcheng be shown again, and don’t let Great Wei suffer another hundred years of pain.”
“Those who sin against our Great Wei will be punished even if they are far away.”
“Everyone, is that clear?”
Fu Zi was hoarse as he inspired the people, for he had truly read and understood the contents of the Great Wei’s literary report, and knew what Great Wei needed most now, and what Xu Qingnian really wanted to express.
Unity of belief.
The beliefs of Great Wei must be unified at this moment.
For there is no way back for Great Wei.
The people, the people must believe in the imperial court unconditionally, believe in Xu Qingnian unconditionally, and not let anyone, create civil unrest and affect the war.
Fu Zi’s words, spoken from the bottom of his heart and his voice, resonated with the people and drew their approval.
“Fu Zi, we understand.”
“Fine, from now on I trust the court unconditionally, D*mn it, if anyone dares to say one word against Lord Xu, if anyone dares to say one word against the court, I will cut him down.”
“That’s right, our generals in Great Wei, are out there suppressing chaos, we absolutely cannot drag our feet and create internal chaos, otherwise, internal and external troubles will lead to defeat sooner or later.”
“Those who sin against our Great Wei will be punished even if they are far away.”
“Offend my Great Wei, though far away, you will be punished.”
Four or five hundred people roared out, their conviction, at this moment, reaching its peak.
The same thing happened all over South Yufu.
Some people were boosting morale underground at the flyover, some at the major restaurants, some even directly on the roadside, one person pa*sing ten people, ten people pa*sing a hundred people.
Those who understood, pa*sed it on to each other.
Those who didn’t understand, also knew one thing.
Don’t create civil unrest, trust Xu Qingnian and trust the court.
At this moment, the Great Wei Wen Wei newspaper exploded with unparalleled power.
The House of the Prefect.
Li Guangxin, the Prefect of the Southern Yu Mansion, looked at the Great Wei Wen newspaper in his hand and exhaled a long breath.
“Shouren!”
“Great Wei is destined to prosper because of you.”
He looked at the literary newspaper and listened to the voice of public opinion in the city.
The people’s trust in Xu Qingnian had also reached an unprecedented level.
This is something that no minister in the past and present has ever been able to achieve.
Xu Qingnian is truly a great talent of the ages.
In Kyoto.
The people of Kyoto themselves had immense trust in Xu Qingnian, and with the appearance of the newspaper, the people had even more faith in him.
But soon, the finger of blame was pointed at the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
The contents of the Great Wei Confucian newspaper were still fresh in their minds, impeaching Xu Qingnian for all sorts of bad things, and people had not forgotten.
Now the two newspapers were put together, and for a moment, even if the people were stupid, they could not have been stupid enough to do so.
“Everyone, this Great Wei Palace of Literature, when it comes to things, this Zhang Ning is really bad to the bone.”
“He wrote an article, scolding Lord Xu for killing the surrender and being so hypocritical to the foreign enemy, I would like to ask everyone, did the Great Wei Confucian newspaper write a sentence about our soldiers who died in battle?”
“We lost 23,000 men in battle, my nephew died on the battlefield, and he didn’t mention a word about it, instead he pitied the foreign enemy. He doesn’t pity his own people when they die, but when foreign enemies die, he cries and cries and impeaches them all sorts of ways, these beasts of burden.
In the middle of the street, a middle-aged man’s eyes were bared and bloodshot.
He was really angry, his nephew had died on the battlefield, and it was another man from his hometown who had pa*sed on the news.
He hadn’t told his sister yet, he didn’t dare to, for if he did, she might not be able to bear the pain of losing her son.
He hated these foreigners so much that he could not wait to go to war and kill them all himself. Now, after reading the Great Wei’s newspaper, he was overjoyed and had immense respect and admiration for Xu Qingnian.
However, when he heard those Confucian scholars outside the court of the Great Wei, he thought of the contents of the Great Wei Confucian newspaper, in which they were fighting for the surrendered army of 170,000 enemy countries and impeaching the officials of their own country.
How could this not make him furious? No, how could he not be furious.
When one of your own dies, you don’t say anything?
When your enemy dies, you cry foul.
Are you still a human being? Are you still a Confucian scholar of Wei?
Therefore, he took seven or eight strong men from his family and roared in the streets.
In a moment, many people among the streets were awakened by these words.
At first, the appearance of the Great Wei Confucian News did make them feel that they should not have killed the 170,000 surrendered troops, which was somewhat inhumane.
But with the appearance of the Great Wei Wen newspaper, coupled with these words of this man, the crowd gradually woke up.
Yes, 23,000 soldiers died in the siege and you didn’t mention a word about it, the enemy surrendered after killing people, Xu Qingnian ordered to kill and surrender 170,000, and you screamed like hell.
You’re a F**king traitor to Wei, right?
This time, many people were angry.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Old Zhang, I’m going with you too, D*mn it, these Wen Gong readers, they really don’t have a F**king conscience.”
“These beastly things, dare I say it wasn’t their brothers who died? We have more than 20,000 young lives dead in Wei, not a word, not a fart, killing 170,000 beasts and actually fighting for them? Has this book been read in his mother’s stomach?”
“Go, go, go, what’s the nonsense, go to the Great Wei Wen Palace.”
“You guys go to the Great Wei Wen Palace, I’ll find some people and go outside the Great Wei Palace.”
“Where is this bunch of people as scholars? They’re all a bunch of traitors!”
“That’s right, a bunch of traitors, compared to Lord Xu, it’s really a comparison.”
“Compared to Lord Xu? Are you insulting Lord Xu?”
“It’s a good thing Lord Xu is the future saint of Great Wei, just by comparing him to these people, it’s not even enough for Lord Xu to be a saint now.”
The people of Kyoto were also furious, and one by one they copied their weapons and headed towards the Great Wei Palace of Literature and outside the Great Wei Court.
The Shouren Academy, meanwhile, was incomparably boisterous and lively at this moment.
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong, the people are heading outside the Wen Palace and the Great Wei Palace, as if they are going to beat up the readers.”
“It’s not good, many people have gathered outside the Palace of Literature.”
“A lot of people have also gathered outside the four academies, it feels like we, the readers, have committed public anger this time.”
Inside the Shouren Academy, a number of voices rang out, and some of the readers hurriedly ran over, slightly panicked.
However, just at that moment, Li Shouming’s voice rang out.
“What are you afraid of?”
“The people of Kyoto are there to trouble the Wen Gong readers, we are students of the Shouren Academy, the people won’t take a swing at us.”
“En, the teacher’s prestige among the people is extremely high, this time the people are also targeting the Great Wei Palace of Literature, it has nothing to do with us.”
Someone inside the academy spoke up, not showing any hint of fear.
But at that very moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the Shouren Academy.
“All listen up!”
“Follow me to the court of Great Wei.”
The voice rang out, and it was Chen Xinghe’s voice.
At this moment, Chen Xinghe, dressed in a set of plain clothes, walked out from the room and looked at the crowd of students and said so.
“Senior Uncle, what are we going to do?”
“Senior Uncle? What’s the point of going to the Great Wei Palace?”
The students of Shouren Academy were somewhat curious, wondering what Chen Xinghe meant.
“To beat up people!”
“Beat up the readers!”
Chen Xinghe was very dashing as he stepped through the door of the academy and hurried towards the outside.
At this time, the readers of the Great Wei Palace of Literature had already caused public discontent, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
The Confucian scholars of the Palace of Literature seized this opportunity to abuse Xu Qingnian in the Great Wei court, cursing him for a whole day, not to mention the fact that these people were heard crying every quarter of an hour in the Great Wei court.
Even the Shouren Academy could hear these people screaming every quarter of an hour.
The big guys were all holding their breath, and now that the opportunity had come, would Chen Xinghe let it go?
Sure enough, as Chen Xinghe opened his mouth like this, all the students of Shouren Academy got excited one by one and followed Chen Xinghe towards the Great Wei Palace.
In a flash.
The whole of Kyoto had completely boiled over.
There were people everywhere, carrying their weapons and walking towards the Great Wei Palace.
When they saw this situation, they definitely had to send out their soldiers, they wanted to stabilise the situation, but seeing the people with fire in their eyes.
The soldiers did not dare to speak up, they could only tell everyone to maintain order and not to cause any civil unrest, which would be no small matter.
Outside the court of the Great Wei.
Tens of thousands of scholars continued to petition loudly every quarter of an hour.
This day, they had been scolded. A great scholar, the future new saint, was being abused like this.
Since Xu Qingnian had arrived, the Great Wei Palace of Literature had been suppressed at every turn, causing them to feel very unhappy, especially since Xu Qingnian was so young and had become a great scholar at such a young age.
There were people with a broad mind who expressed their admiration and respect, but the literati were lighter than each other, and some of them were not. They always felt that Xu Qingnian had used inexplicable means or that Xu Qingnian’s virtue was not worthy of his position.
They could only insult Xu Qingnian in private during the day, but later, when Xu Qingnian became the future new saint of Great Wei, everyone dared not say anything and could only hold it in their hearts.
But this time was different. Xu Qingnian had committed a heinous crime by killing a surrendered man, and this had created a stigma, and when coupled with the article in the Great Wei Confucian newspaper, how could they not be angry?
How could they not seize this opportunity to disparage Xu Qingnian and trample on him? To satisfy their own inner pleasure?
It was just that after a day of scolding, the Great Wei court had not reacted at all, and everyone was still a little upset.
“Gentlemen, let’s not go a quarter of an hour apart, this way, we’ll shout every half a quarter of an hour and everyone will take turns.”
A Confucian scholar proposed that instead of shouting once every quarter of an hour, half a quarter of an hour, so that His Majesty could hear, so that the whole court could hear and yell at the national traitor Xu Qingnian.
This proposal was instantly approved by the crowd.
The next moment, a scholar stood up and cursed loudly and angrily.
“Great Wei’s mountain, heaven has sent calamity, the national traitor Xu Qingnian, killing the surrender and committing the wrath of heaven, death is not enough, please Your Majesty severely punish Xu Qingnian!”
A loud voice rang out, and at that moment, five to six thousand Confucian students roared in unison, cursing Xu Qingnian as a traitor to the country.
However, at that very moment, the sound of footsteps rang out, the figures of the Eight Gates’ capital soldiers.
The army appeared with serious expressions and weapons in their hands, blocking off the students outside the Great Wei Palace, their faces cold and cold.
With the appearance of the Eight Gates’ soldiers, most of the students looked a little ugly and inexplicably scared.
But some of them were not afraid of this at all, and even showed a look of ecstasy.
“Gentlemen!”
“Don’t panic, there are ten great scholars here, these capital soldiers don’t dare to hurt us, if they dare to hurt us, just this killing of surrendering and deceiving scholars will not be tolerated by heaven and earth.”
Someone spoke up, confidently, believing that the eight gates of capital soldiers would not dare to harm them.
Indeed, as this voice rang out, many Confucian students shouted after them.
“That’s right, they wouldn’t dare to hurt us. Ten great Confucians are here, tens of thousands of Confucian students, if they dare to hurt us readers, they would be committing the wrath of Heaven.”
“Since ancient times, countries that kill and bully Confucian scholars have been condemned by Heaven.
“He is afraid of what we say and the people’s awakening, so he sent troops to suppress them.”
“Yes, Xu Qingnian is afraid, he is afraid, otherwise, why would he send troops to come? He is afraid, the people have woken up, we must hold this place down, so that the people of Kyoto, the people of Great Wei, the people of the world will know that Xu Qingnian is also a traitor to the country.”
Many scholars got high, completely high, and when they saw the arrival of the capital soldiers, not only did they not have any fear, but they were replaced by excitement and vehemence.
They thought that Xu Qingnian was afraid, that his heart was weak, otherwise why would he have sent troops?
Not only these Confucian students, but also the ten great Confucians.
“My generation of scholars, who study for the sake of the world, have no fear of power and a fearless heart.”
“Gentlemen, our backing is the people, the people of the world.”
“Listen to the orders of this Confucian, unite as one, if the capital soldiers dare to make a move, we will fight to the death, I don’t believe that he, Xu Qingnian, will dare to kill Confucius.”
A great Confucian spoke up and roared.
“If he dares to kill Confucius, the people of the world will definitely not spare him.”
“Yes, our backing is the people, the public opinion of the world, so don’t panic.”
A great Confucian spoke.
Their voices were incomparably loud, and at this moment, they believed that the people of the world were their backing and had no fear of the powerful.
These words made the group of scholars’ blood boil and their emotions run high.
“Pa*s on Lord Xu’s order, at a time when the country is in turmoil and storms are raging, you and other Confucian scholars, who are creating rumours and attempting to cause civil unrest, are punishable.”
“By order of His Excellency, you are to be detained in the Heavenly Prison and then arraigned one by one when the country is stable.”
“Those who resist! Kill!”
“Those who obstruct! Kill!”
“Anyone who dares to speak nonsense again! Kill!”
He was a scar-faced man with a fierce gaze, he had long been displeased with these guys, and now that he had been given an order from above, he didn’t care so much, he would slash at anyone who dared to stop him.
Clang, clang, clang!
A large sword appeared with a cold glint on its face, and many of the students shut up.
However, there were still many readers who still had iron bones and looked at each other without any fear in their eyes.
“Gentlemen, I was right, Xu Qingnian is panicking, Xu Qingnian is afraid, his heart is weak and he wants to use his sword to silence us!”
“But who are we? We are men of learning, men who read the Haozhi and study for the sake of the world, are we afraid of swords?”
“Are we afraid of death?”
“As long as the people stand by us, we will fear nothing.”
A scholar roared out, his words so impa*sioned that he even took a step forward to show his fearlessness.
In the next moment, many of the readers stood up and made the same stand, they pulled each other and formed a human wall, each with an unwavering gaze.
“Gentlemen! We are not fighting for ourselves, nor for the Palace of Literature, but for the people; Xu Qingnian killed our bodies, and I put to death Xu Qingnian’s heart!”
A loud and incomparable voice rang out, full of infectious energy.
All at once, various voices rang out.
“Xu Qingnian killed my body, I’ll kill Xu Qingnian’s heart!”
“Do not fight for yourself, fight for the people!”
“Fight for the people!”
“Fight for the people!”
The voices rang out and reached the capital of Great Wei, and tens of thousands of Confucian students burst into tears at this moment as they moved themselves to tears.
The ten great Confucians even came close to tears, and at this moment, tens of thousands of scholars gathered together, they considered themselves glorious, they considered themselves full of glory.
Some were even prepared to die, their gaze, unwavering, their faith, unwavering.
It was not for themselves, it was not for their honour, it was for the people of the world that they stood on the moral high ground, at this moment they were like saints.
And this contagiousness made them fearless of death, fearless of everything.
The commander of the capital soldiers looked at all this coldly, his hand on his sword, already ready to kill Ru.
But at that moment, the sound of footsteps reappeared.
In all directions, countless people were walking towards the court of the Great Wei with their weapons.
The people’s eyes were cold, or they had fire in their eyes, as if they were extremely angry.
As they watched the people coming from all directions, the readers outside the Great Wei palace became excited, they were thrilled.
“Gentlemen!”
“Look! Look! The people have come to support us.”
“The people are our strongest backing, they have come, they have seen us being bullied and have now come to our aid.”
“Fighting for the people, it’s not enough for us to die.”
“I don’t regret this life, I don’t regret this life.”
“People, don’t come over, this battle, we will fight it, you just have to see with your own eyes, how they oppress us, merit is in the hearts of the people.”
“People, don’t come over, they don’t dare to hurt us, but you are different, they will oppress you.”
“Xu Qingnian! Xu Qingnian! Look at it, look at it, is this your public opinion? Hahahahaha, the people’s eyes, they are discerning, you used this way, to deceive the people, now you are eating your own fruit, right?”
At this moment, countless voices rang out.
This group of Confucian students subconsciously thought that these people had come over to help them.
They were excited, they were moved, they shed tears, they became even more emotional, they felt even more worthy, and many of the Confucian students even cried out, asking the people not to come over for fear that they would get hurt.
The pretensions were incomparable and the pretence was complete.
This scene caused the people to freeze a little.
They wondered if these scholars were out of their minds. Why were they all crying so hard? What else was there to oppress or not to oppress?
The people were a bit confused.
And once again, the Confucian scholars spoke in one voice.
“National traitor Xu Qingnian! Open your eyes and see! The people have opened their eyes! You shall not die in peace! We will fight you to the death!”
“This battle! For the sake of the world, for the people of Wei, for the people of Kyoto, come on! Let’s kill!”
“You kill my body, I’ll kill your heart!”
The Confucian students were completely high, they were completely caught up in their own fantasies.
A voice like thunder rang out with an aura of power.
But suddenly, among the people, a voice like thunder rang out.
“I’ll kill your grandmother’s legs.”
“Fight for your mother’s people.”
“These scholars have read their brains out, gentlemen, why don’t you go now? Wait until the Great Wei dies?”
“Go on! Fight to the death, beat these traitorous scholars to death, to death.”
The impa*sioned voices rang out like a burning fuse and exploded instantly.
At this moment, all the people rushed towards this group of scholars, just like a flood, rushing straight up from all sides.
At this moment, the Confucian students in front were dumbfounded, these people, hadn’t they come to help themselves?
The Confucian scholars at the back, on the other hand, did not hear clearly and thought that the people were rushing over to help themselves, so they all howled and cried, shouting, “Don’t come over, don’t come over, let us do this battle.
You are already pitiful.
In just a flash, countless people had already rushed in front of them and aimed a punch directly at the face of the students in the front row.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was instantly chaotic as 30,000 to 40,000 people joined the battlefield, beating the students to death when they saw them, punching and kicking them, not caring how old they were, beating them whenever they caught them.
And the Readers were utterly and completely dumbfounded.
“Aren’t you here to help us? Why are you beating me?”
“Hiss, why are you all like this? Are you all under compulsion?”
“Don’t fight, don’t fight, I’ve broken my back.”
The readers were completely dumbfounded, hadn’t these people come to help themselves? Why are they beating them to death?
“Help you? I’ll help you go to the West, traitors!”
“I compelled your mother, you brain-damaged thing, your parents sent you to school, but you didn’t expect to learn this stuff? Traitor, looking for a fight.”
“As scholars, you don’t contribute to the country, and when the country is in trouble, you don’t come out to help, instead you add to the trouble. You call Lord Xu a traitor to the country, you are the traitors to the country.”
“Brothers, beat me to death, beat them to death, their parents won’t even collect their bodies when such people die.”
“A bunch of dogs, my country is in danger, the soldiers are out there fighting in blood, and you? You can’t go out and fight the enemy when you are told to do so, and you scold your own people when you are told to write something? Adding to the distress of your own country.”
“You shall not die well.”
The people were furious, they roared and three or four of them grabbed a scholar and beat him to death, beating him extremely fiercely.
“Fellow citizens, you have been fooled, you have been deceived, this is Xu Qingnian’s ploy, this is Xu Qingnian’s ploy.”
There were great scholars who saw this scene and their faces were incomparably white with fear.
Their bodies were trembling and they were explaining all sorts of things to the people, hoping that they would be sensible ah.
At the same time he was extremely suffocated and extremely uncomfortable, he thought these people were coming to help him, but what he didn’t expect was that they were coming to beat him.
This is really ……. I’ve met a ghost.
The actual ghosts are really a good thing.
“Scheming your grandfather, you old immortal guy, old but not dead, Lord Xu is talking about people like you, it’s not that people get old and become bad, it’s that bad people get old, right?”
“Brothers, grab these great scholars and beat them to death as well, D*mn it, all day and night it’s these people who find Lord Xu in trouble, they can’t help much, they just like to suppress good talent!”
“Beat them up! Hit me hard!”
The people had completely lost their senses, they grabbed the scholars and beat them up, and more and more people joined them, the few great scholars were still thinking of stabilizing the situation, but when they saw this, they all turned pale.
They all tried to flee to the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
However, there were people on all sides, tens of thousands of Readers, completely powerless to fight, being beaten and screaming incessantly.
And the Readers inside who had not yet been beaten were all numb, completely numb at this moment.
Fear! Shame! Fear! Fear!
How could they not be afraid of such a scene?
But more than that, they were ashamed.
Especially when they thought of what they had just shouted, shouting that they were fighting for the people, so impa*sioned, so pa*sionate.
But the people didn’t appreciate it, and even if they didn’t, they still beat them? This was a shame that they would never forget.
Their faces were red with blood and they wanted to die.
But as the people broke up the camp of the readers, they began to panic.
“Don’t fight, don’t fight, if you fight again I’ll die.”
“I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, everyone stop fighting, I really can’t carry on.”
“My leg is broken, my leg is broken, ah ！！！！！”
“I really can’t, I’m going to die if I hit again.”
“It’s nothing to do with me, it’s nothing to do with me, someone called me to come, I didn’t want to come.”
“It was Zhao Ru who told me to come, it was Zhao Ru who told me to come, I didn’t want to come, people, don’t fight anymore.”
The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and the people were really ruthless, punching and kicking, these students were really worse than dead.
The Eight Gates soldiers watched all this in silence, but their eyes were full of joy.
How could they not support Xu Qingnian?
It was still the same.
The generals of Great Wei were fighting in blood outside.
The Confucian students of Wei were creating chaos inside.
Who the hell can accept this? And they tried to deceive everyone? How about now? You’ve had it coming, haven’t you?
That’s what you deserve.
“Commander! Why don’t you do something to stop the public riot? Why don’t you have someone put a stop to it.”
A great scholar looked at the Capital Gate Commander.
Loudly and angrily, he rebuked.
Angrily rebuking the indifference of the Capital Gate Commander.
“Shut your mouth for the old man.”
The Capital Gate Commander opened his mouth and scolded back with a single word.
Afterwards, he looked at the melee and said.
“Eight Gate Capital Soldiers, listen to the order.”
“Maintain order, pay attention to the people’s safety, don’t let them get hurt, the people are the strongest backbone of the readers.”
The capital gate commander opened his mouth, a word that shamed all the readers, their faces turned red ah, there were even many readers who were not knocked unconscious, but were angry alive, especially when they thought of what Fang said.
Fighting for the people?
They were fighting for their F**king legs.
What a disgrace, what a disgrace, what a disgrace.
Poof.
A great scholar spat out blood and fainted, and the great scholar beside him became anxious.
At that moment, the melee began again, and the screams of the scholars were heard all the way into the Mandarin’s Hall.
Inside the hall, the military officials laughed and watched with glee.
And at the same time.
The Great Wei Palace of Literature.
Compared to the chaos outside the Great Wei Palace.
The Palace was much more orderly.
Tens of thousands of people came to the Great Wei Palace, but instead of rushing into the Palace and rioting, the people looked at the Palace coldly, their eyes filled with anger.
But the scholars inside the Palace of Literature were all inexplicably weak and frightened, facing the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
At this moment.
A branch of the capital’s soldiers appeared and surrounded the entirety of the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
Soon, three figures appeared.
Chen Zhengru, the Prime Minister of Great Wei!
Minister of Rites Wang Xinzhi!
Minister of Justice Zhang Jing!
The three figures appeared outside the Great Wei Palace of Literature, leading 10,000 soldiers from the capital and surrounding the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
“Pa*s on, Lord Xu’s order!”
“Detain the national traitor, Peng Ru!”
“Detain the state traitor, Zhang Ning!”
With the arrival of Chen Zhengru, a loud voice rang out.
Chen Zhengru’s gaze was cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was crowned with the title of national traitor.
“How dare you!”
“Chen Zhengru, have you gone mad? How dare you call Pengru a national traitor?”
“Has this Xu Qingnian gone mad? He dares to insult a national traitor!”
“Crazy, crazy, Chen Zhengru, you’re crazy.”
“Do you know where this is? The Great Wei Palace of Literature! You are a great scholar, but you do not respect the saints, you are a scholar in vain.”
In the middle of the Palace of Literature, a storm of shouts rang out.
They rebuked Chen Zhengru with unparalleled anger.
It was because Chen Zhengru had insulted Peng Confucius as a national traitor.
But Chen Zhengru laughed coldly.
“When the country was in great distress, the generals of Great Wei, fought and died in blood, and the court of Great Wei, full of civil servants, did their utmost to defend the country.”
“And what is the Great Wei Palace of Literature doing? What is Peng Ru doing? What is Zhang Ru doing? Bashing Lord Xu, mobilising public opinion, and presuming to create civil unrest.”
“This is not a traitor to the state!”
“What is this?”
“Peng Ru!”
“You are old and immortal!”
“Get out!”
“Or else!”
“Capital soldiers at your command!”
“Kill!”
Chen Zhengru’s voice was fierce and emotionally charged.
The prime minister of the dynasty!
The great scholar of the Palace of Letters!
Today! It is with the intention of killing Confucianism!
He has come here!
And inside the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
The crowd also froze.
They could feel Chen Zhengru’s killing intent.
Many great Confucians swallowed their saliva.
There was some inexplicable …… fear.
