As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!
Last year's new Jinshi was stunned. He didn't react until he was dragged out by the collar by the internal machine supervisor.
His face suddenly changed and he was full of shock and anger, "Your Majesty, when you treat scholars like this, aren't you afraid of being called a coward?"
Other scholars were also furious and complained, "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you expel and deal with scholars at will without asking what is right or wrong?"
“Is it wrong for us scholars to serve our country and speak out for fairness and justice?”
"Your Majesty, acting like this is a sign of the subjugation of the country!"
"..."
Ning Wen and others all had evil smiles on their faces. Looking at the irritated scholar, they almost laughed out loud. They really wanted Li Yi to fall out with the scholar!
What a beautiful sight it is when today is resisted by scholars all over the world. If that day comes, the Gale Dynasty will be finished without them taking action, so now the greater the conflict, the more excited they are.
Li Yi stood up suddenly and walked down step by step with a sneer on his face, "Hunjun, do you think I am Hunjun now?"
Many scholars were stunned and felt something was wrong. What does your Majesty mean by this?
I saw Li Yi's face change suddenly, and he shouted angrily, "I am not a foolish king, I am actually a tyrant!"
What's the meaning?
tyrant?
"boom!"
Before they could think it through, Liu Lu, last year's new scholar, was kicked out.
This guy looked proud just now. His move directly won the approval of Ning Wen and others, and he was still dreaming of being promoted and making a fortune.
But he didn't expect that with a sudden sideways kick, the whole person flew out.
He slid on the ground for dozens of meters before stopping. His face was scratched and his appearance was disfigured.
"ah!"
"My face, my face is disfigured!"
Heart-rending screams came from Liu Lu's mouth, and when he touched the blood on his face, he felt like he was mourning for his heir.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock. Before they could react, Li Yi had already lifted him up with one hand, "You dare to humiliate my hero, you are asking for your own death!"
Liu Lu was frightened out of his wits and hurriedly retorted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you talking about? When have students ever humiliated your heroes?"
"Then what did you just say? You said Sun Tingzong was defeated? Who said he was defeated?"
Li Yi was furious, roaring like a lion, "You said Sun Tingzong was defeated, show us the evidence. If he is really defeated, I will personally punish him and punish him severely, but if there is no evidence, hum! The consequences. conceited!"
Now everyone was confused. It was true that Sun Tingzong defeated the Dongshan bandits, but they were all rumors. How could there be any evidence? Besides, how can such a thing be proved?
"Take it out for me!" Li Yi roared angrily, making Liu Lu turn pale and tremble with fright.
"I...I..." Liu Lu was completely panicked.
"Without evidence, you dare to frame the official of the dynasty, the chief minister of the dynasty's cabinet, who gave you the courage, and who instigated you!" Li Yi was furious, like an enraged lion, insisting on venting his anger on Sun Tingzong's behalf. .
After saying that, he opened his bow from left to right, one big bag after another, and hit Liu Lu's face.
"Bah bang bang!"
The harsh slaps and intermittent screams scared everyone present.
It's too cruel today. To beat a scholar with your own hands in front of so many people, isn't he afraid of being infamous for thousands of years and being nailed to the tyrant's pillar of shame?
"Your Majesty, please stop, you will kill someone!"
"Your Majesty, please stop. Please spare Liu Lu, right?"
"Your Majesty, please spare Liu Lu!"
"..."
Many of the scholars present had a close relationship with Liu Lu and were classmates. When they saw that Liu Lu was about to be beaten to death, they all began to plead for mercy.
Even Wei Ziya, Cao Fengyang and others were shocked. Although they also hated these scholars who humiliated their teachers, but if your Majesty beats the scholars, it is very likely that they will be taken advantage of by villains?
At that time, if someone is caught, I still don’t know how to use the opportunity to deceive people’s hearts. Maybe it will make His Majesty lose all the people’s hearts and become the target of thousands of people!
They also stepped forward to dissuade him, fearing that His Majesty would beat Liu Lu to death.
On the other hand, people like Ning Wen and Wei Jun all had evil smiles on their faces, wishing that things would get bigger and bigger until the sky collapsed.
All this was in Li Yi's eyes, and with a little trick, he was able to test out the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Even among these scholars, he could see that those had evil intentions and those were angry youths who could be used for future use.
Then, he hid his sneer and threw Liu Lu away like a dead pig.
Like a tiger looking at the world, he roared: "Okay, I know you are not convinced, so I will give you a piece of evidence to make you speechless!"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Ning Wen and others were even more panicked, and their hearts tightened. They looked at Li Yi with confusion. Where is the evidence? Sun Tingzong was trapped in Qingzhou City and was about to starve to death?
"Your Majesty, empty words are unfounded, evidence must be brought to the table?" Ning Wen was doubtful.
Li Yi snorted coldly, "Of course!"
"Someone, bring out the evidence!"
Cao Qingyan immediately took out a military report and walked straight to Ning Wen, "Master Ning, please!"
Ning Wen didn't believe it at all. He glanced at Cao Qingyan angrily, picked up the military newspaper and looked at it. His face suddenly changed with fright, and his whole body trembled, "No, it's impossible, how is this possible!"
"Obviously Sun Tingzong has been trapped in Qingzhou City and is about to starve to death. How could he deliberately hold on and prepare to kill all the thieves? This military report is false, it must be false!"
Wei Jun and others were also shocked and quickly ran forward to see what the military report was about.
"How is this possible? This is fake. The military report is fake. Someone must have deliberately produced a fake military report!"
"Yes, there must be someone who wants to deceive the world and produce fake military reports!"
At this point, everyone present looked at each other, wondering why. If the military report was true, then things would be completely troublesome!
Entering the palace to force remonstrance, whether this matter is serious or minor, there is no evidence, just the word "forcing the palace" can make these scholars have their heads on the ground.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible, this military report is fake at first glance!" Ning Wen's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that if something happened here today, the little emperor would never let it go and would definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, where did this military report come from? Why didn't the Ministry of War receive it?"
Li Yi frowned, "Are you questioning me?"
"I don't dare." Ning Wen immediately knelt down.
"I'm sorry you, an old dog, don't dare!"
Hearing this, Ning Wen, who lowered his head, had a livid face and his teeth chattered.
Li Yi sneered and said: "This military report was sent to me by Sun Tingzong himself. It has Sun Tingzong's seal on it. If you don't believe it, can I send you to Qingzhou City to confront Master Sun Tingzong in person?"
Upon hearing this, the sycophants who had been willing to refute just now shut up in an instant. They believed that the emperor could really do it today.
What's more, Dongshan is currently in a state of war and chaos. You might lose your life on the way. Who dares to go?
Seeing that no one dared to speak, Li Yi snorted coldly, "Since no one objects, I would like to ask, who gave you the courage to ask me to marry you?"
"This..." These scholars were suddenly speechless and all lowered their heads.
"No one admits it, right?"
Li Yi nodded, "Well, since no one dares to admit it, then all the scholars will be punished according to the law. All the scholars who participated today will have their status as scholars revoked and demoted to common people. They will not be allowed to enter the official court in this life. "
"ah!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the scholars changed drastically. Li Yi's move was undoubtedly murderous and heart-breaking.
It doesn't matter if you kill these scholars, but canceling their status as scholars is worse than killing them. After all, this is the scholar's last strength and face.
Some scholars hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please have mercy on Your Majesty and spare us. We were also deceived by traitors, and that's how we got into this big disaster."
"Yes, your Majesty, please give us a chance for the sake of Han Chuang who has been studying hard for ten years."
"Please, Your Majesty, be merciful and spare us!"
All the scholars knelt down and shouted for His Majesty's mercy.
"..."
Li Yi suppressed a sneer and saw that the atmosphere was almost perfect. He was about to borrow the donkey to go down the slope, but suddenly a very discordant sound came from behind him.
"Your Majesty, even if the military report is true, there should be a time limit for Sun Tingzong's battle at Dongshan, right?"
"It can't be over in three to five years, right?"
