Jinling City,
Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Yu, who had just returned home, began to calculate today's profits.
Nowadays, various industries in Jinling receive an endless stream of customers every day.
Business is extremely booming.
Correspondingly, the daily profits are naturally increasing day by day.
At this moment,
The door suddenly opened,
Zhou Yu raised his head and found that it was his father.
"Father, what's the matter?"
Zhou Zhi said with a serious face: "You should know what happened in the city today, right?"
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and thought for a while before he understood what his father was talking about.
"Are you talking about those scholars who want the emperor to issue an edict to sin against themselves?"
Zhou Zhi nodded.
"good."
Then he said with a solemn expression: "I'm here to remind you, don't get involved in this matter."
"Including those foxy friends you know, stay away from them these days."
Zhou Yu, who was a little puzzled, asked, "Why?"
"Why?"
Zhou Zhi snorted and sneered: "These unscrupulous people don't know life and death, and they don't know His Majesty's iron-blooded skills. They naively think that if they get together, they can make His Majesty wary and dare not take action."
"You must not imitate them. It is best to cut off contact with those people during this period."
Zhou Yu is not a fool either.
And I have heard about what happened in Linzi that year.
Facing his father's warning, he nodded honestly and said, "I understand, father."
.......
It is indeed as expected.
When the matter reached Han Lin's ears, Han Lin immediately sneered contemptuously.
A group of unruly people who don’t know whether to live or die.
You still want me to punish myself?
You really thought I didn’t dare to use the butcher’s knife, right?
It seems that these scholars from the land of Wu and Yue don’t know what happened in Linzi City back then.
Do you really think you can kidnap me like this?
Or do you naively think that the law will not punish others and you can live in peace?
What Han Lin is least afraid of in his life is moral kidnapping, let alone such illusory things as the world's mouth.
These unscrupulous people have enough to eat every day and have nothing to do. Now they have had enough and are looking for death, right?
To know,
Han Lin is currently in Jinling.
Facing the countless students gathered,
Han Lin immediately ordered the army to enter the city and behead all the rebellious officials and traitors.
Han Lin just wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
I don’t know if it’s because my butcher knife has been silent for too long, or because these people from the land of Wuyue have never heard of my butcher knife.
Han Lin must shine today.
.......
With the order given.
The army in Jinling City was in full motion.
at the same time,
The students gathered on the street were still shouting loudly, asking Han Lin to issue an imperial edict to punish himself and withdraw the edict.
among the crowd,
A student named Yang Zekun suddenly felt a little uneasy.
do not know why,
An ominous premonition suddenly arose.
The heartbeat was beating uneasily at an extremely fast pace.
Yang Zekun pulled his friend beside him and said, "Brother Wang, I suddenly feel a little uneasy. How about we leave here first."
The man who was called Brother Wang immediately frowned and said displeasedly: "What's wrong with you? Do you still want to escape from the battlefield?"
"I'm telling you, the more you give in, the more the court will intensify."
"Han Lin, that stupid man, cut off our path and wiped out all the hard work we had put in for ten years. Now there are so many students in the world. If we don't take advantage of this moment to let Han Lin regress, will you still take part in the imperial examination in the future?"
Yang Zekun whispered: "But... I heard that many people in Qi State protested, and they were all killed by the emperor. I'm afraid that we..."
Brother Wang looked disappointed and said coldly: "Okay, since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then you can go and I won't stop you."
"There are so many of us scholars gathered here. If the foolish emperor wants to kill us, aren't we afraid that the people of the world will stab us in the back?"
"Even if he kills us all, will he be able to stop the mouth of the world?"
"Everyone will die eventually, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Even if I die, I will still fight for the sake of scholars!"
"Let's go. I, the King, are ashamed to be associated with people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
Although the other party's words were very impassioned.
It even ignited the passion in Yang Zekun's heart.
but,
Yang Zekun always feels that living may be more important.
Moreover, there is an elderly mother at home. If he dies, who will take care of her?
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
Plus,
Yang Zekun chose to trust his sixth sense.
So after bidding farewell to Brother Wang, he silently left the crowd.
It turns out that
Yang Zekun's choice is correct.
Not long after he left the crowd,
The sound of rapid horse hooves came from a distance.
The ground began to tremble.
It doesn't take a while.
I can already see the dust flying in the distance,
"What's going on? Why do I feel the ground beneath my feet shaking?"
"No, look to the south."
"That is......?"
"The army! It's the imperial army!"
"It's over. Is the imperial court going to send out the army now? Are we all going to die here today?"
Although the army appears in sight,
The crowd immediately rioted.
Some timid people even planned to grease their soles and try to sneak away.
at this time,
The man whom Yang Zekun had just called Brother Wang stood on a stone platform and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone."
"With so many of us gathered here now, even if we give the imperial army 10,000 courage, it is impossible to kill us."
"There are so many of us, can he still kill them all?"
"The imperial court absolutely cannot afford the consequences of killing us. When the time comes, we will definitely face the verbal and written criticism of scholars all over the world."
"Since we have chosen to gather here today, we must fight to the end for our future!"
"Han Lin canceled the Four Books and Five Classics, which cut off our road. We spent ten years in poverty just for the sake of one day being named on the gold medal list. But now that the road has been cut off, do you still want to escape?"
have to say,
Brother Wang’s words are indeed inspiring.
The crowd that had just appeared in commotion immediately calmed down.
All of them straightened their backs and waited calmly for the arrival of the army.
Then......
When the army approaches,
The group of people soon gathered in the middle.
The general who was the last to go pointed his sword forward and said coldly: "Your Majesty has an order to kill all these rebellious officials and traitors!"
"superior!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Thousands of troops roared into action.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he began to harvest the lives of the people in front of him.
Faced with this situation, Brother Wang was dumbfounded.
He never expected that Han Lin would dare to do this.
Isn't he afraid of the criticism from students all over the world?
Han Lin said: "I'm really not afraid!"
