At this time, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, led by Lu Hancheng, escorted a group of scholars to the square in front of the Jinluan Palace. They were old and young, and they were all important figures in the literary world of the capital.
Ning Wen frowned and turned to look at Wei Chu, their eyes exchanged with some surprise.
These people were all the scholars he had found to block the entrance to the palace in advance. They were all famous figures in the literary world, and they did it for no other reason than to disgust the little emperor.
But the little emperor couldn't think of a way to drive them away, so he invited them in instead?
What do you mean? Is it because I don’t think my death was miserable enough? I’ll see how you end up later?
These scholars are not afraid of heaven or earth. Don't try to scare them by beheading them. They are not afraid either. They are all the same.
"The scholars of the capital pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" Hundreds of scholars knelt down one after another, but their bones were still very hard. Although their knees were bent, their bones were still there and they were full of style.
The Dafeng Dynasty only respected Confucianism, and the status of scholars was extremely high, almost aloof.
These scholars are all candidates for imperial court appointments. They are all arrogant, arrogant and pretentious. They can write whatever they want with a pen and say whatever they want. They are extremely annoying.
The person standing at the front is the guy who stirred up trouble among the scholars last time, named Liu Lu. This time he is determined to arm-wrestle with Li Yi in retaliation for being dragged and humiliated by Li Yi last time. hatred.
He still had thick scabs on his face from the last time he was beaten, making him look ugly and disgusting.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, he directly launched an attack, once again taking the moral high ground, and said in a bad tone, "Your Majesty, six days ago, you made an agreement with the world's scholars that Sun Tingzong could put down the Dongshan bandit rebellion within six days, otherwise Sun Tingzong would be ordered to retire and return to his hometown. Today is the sixth day, please keep your promise, Your Majesty, there is no joke!"
The other scholars looked at each other, and then all bowed: "Your Majesty, although Sun Tingzong is a veteran of the two dynasties and a trusted minister of the late emperor, after all, he lost troops and generals. If he doesn't punish him, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the people of the world?"
"That is, if Your Majesty, the majestic king of a country, breaks his promise and gets fat, he may lose the prestige of the court."
"This statement is true. If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country, the people will no longer have a people, and the world will be in danger."
"..."
Li Yi didn't say a word. These scholars treated Li Yi with a series of words, as if they had read the script beforehand.
Li Yi nodded, glanced at the civil and military forces of the court, and smiled lightly, "My dear friends, do you think so too?"
Before the other ministers could speak, Wei Jun raised his head again and said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, it is hard to go against everyone's opinion. For the sake of the country and the country, it would be better for your Majesty to deal with Sun Tingzong as soon as possible."
"What about you, Ning Aiqing?" Li Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said with an evil smile.
Ning Wen, an old fox, acted in a difficult way. He shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Tingzong is a veteran of two dynasties after all. He is an independent and important minister. If your Majesty wants to punish Mr. Sun, you may be criticized."
"I have a plan to get the best of both worlds."
Without waiting for Li Yi's consent, he couldn't wait to speak: "Sun Tingzong can be suspended and retired, and let him retire and return to his hometown. Firstly, it will also be an explanation to the people of the world. Secondly, it will show that His Majesty is a great benefactor and a benevolent hero."
Li Yi sneered, this old guy is really bad. It sounds like he is giving him advice, but in fact he is very different. He used various tricks to drive Sun Tingzong out of the power center of the court.
If he guessed correctly, this old bastard must have arranged for someone to assassinate Sun Tingzong on his way back to his hometown to prevent him from being used again.
I have to say that these beasts are really attentive, but if they want to force themselves to bow their heads, there is no way!
His face suddenly changed, and he sneered: "Explain, okay, I'll give you old dogs an explanation!"
"These traitorous ministers are so bad that they are completely hopeless. Are you scholars too stupid for reading?"
This short sentence directly ignited the whole audience. Not only the group of sycophants were furious, but also the group of scholars also had angry faces.
These scholars all have extraordinary family backgrounds. Their ancestors are all connected by blood to several major aristocratic families in the world for three generations. They have always relied on their own aloofness and pretentiousness, and even today's emperor does not look down upon them.
But today, Li Yi scolded him for being a fool for studying. How could he bear this?
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are you insulting us scholars?"
"Sun Tingzong is not good at leading troops. According to the law, he should be fined. What's wrong with this? For your own selfish desires, you insult loyal people and humiliate the world's scholars. How do you want the world to see you?"
"Aren't you afraid of being labeled as a "Faint King" in the history books?
"..."
Li Yi smiled softly, stood up from the dragon chair, and walked down step by step, but every step he took touched the hearts of everyone present.
Especially the scholars were so frightened that they began to retreat, and some timid ones fell to the ground in fright.
Li Yi stopped and glanced coldly: "Scare me with history books. I will tell you today that future generations will judge what is right and wrong. But who are you, you dare to judge my merits!"
His eyes focused and fell directly on Liu Lu. This kid was beaten up last time and didn't know whether to live or die. This time he came again, "I remember your name is Liu Lu?"
Liu Lu shivered subconsciously, suppressed his fear, and held on to his body, "Your Majesty, please keep your promise and punish Sun Tingzong!"
"Okay, very good, you're fine!" Li Yi nodded, with a strange smile on his lips, "Someone, take him out and kill him with a cane at the entrance of the palace!"
"Listen clearly to me, it's a stick death!"
That's what he said, especially when dealing with villains like Liu Lu.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Liu Lu was even more shocked and froze on the spot. It was not until he was dragged out by the soldiers of the Forbidden Army that he exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you are doing this." , it will arouse the anger of heaven and people, aren't you afraid of being called a foolish king by the people of the world?"
The scholars were stunned for a moment, then stepped forward one after another, accusing Li Yi with great anger, "Your Majesty, why did Liu Lu commit such a crime that you want to kill him with a stick?"
"That's right, it is a unique thing for a dignified king of a country to kill his soldiers at will without caring about the facts. Looking at ancient times and modern times, this is a unique thing."
"What mistakes did Liu Lu make, and what mistakes did we, the scholars, make? Is it wrong to petition for the people and the country?"
"In this case, the country will no longer be a country, so how should our Dafeng Dynasty get along?"
"..."
This group of scholars was completely irritated. Looking at the angry scholars, Ning Wen secretly felt happy in his heart.
OK!
Go ahead and beat him until your head is bleeding and corpses are scattered all over the place!
The best thing is to anger Li Yi and let him kill all these scholars in a fit of anger. In this way, the emperor will completely lose his prestige and be completely despised.
Li Yi's thin lips curled slightly, and he smiled softly, "Have you forgotten that I have already said that I am not only a foolish king, but also a tyrant!"
"I don't mind letting you see what a true tyrant is!"
Hearing this, everyone was suddenly startled and terrified. What does this mean? What is your Majesty going to do?
"boom!"
There was a loud noise that shook everyone's minds. Li Yi didn't know when he rushed behind Liu Lu and kicked him out. This time, it was obvious that he had done something wrong.
"Ah, it hurts so much, it hurts me so much!"
Liu Lu was still staring at Li Yi sarcastically just now, wanting to see how the emperor would deal with the predicament at hand. Unlike last time, these scholars were already angered by the emperor's behavior this time.
But he didn't expect that he would be the first to suffer a sudden misfortune and be kicked out.
"ah!"
"It hurts so much. It hurts me so much. I'm going to be beaten to death by today's emperor. Is there any justice in this world...Help..."
Liu Lu, who was lying on the ground, let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Without waiting for anyone else to react, Li Yi opened his palm like last time, opened his bow from left to right, and drew forty or fifty big mouths in a row.
He didn't stop until Liu Lu was completely unconscious, with too much air coming out and too little air coming in.
Today, a scholar from the capital was beaten to death, and he was the new Jinshi last year.
If this news spreads, it will be no less than a terrifying earthquake for the Dafeng Dynasty, which is drifting and in danger.
But Li Yi still looked unfinished. He wiped the blood on his hands, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the frightened scholar.
None of the scholars dared to raise their heads or look directly into his eyes, and they all lowered their heads.
Immediately, his eyes fell on Manchao Wenwu again. It was obvious that this meant that Li Yi was going to hit someone again today.
He's picking this "lucky guy who gets beaten!"
"It's you!" Li Yi's pupils shrank, an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he walked straight towards Wei Jun.
