Chapter 271 Bloodwashing the Hall
"Lu Yu, persuade the queen to stop, do you really want to see Dagan fall into chaos?"
Knowing that he couldn't leave, the scribe forced himself to be calm, and looked at Li Yi who walked in covered in armor, and said in a deep voice.
"Without people like you, the work will only flourish, and there will be no chaos."
Li Yi held the knife and approached the scholar step by step.
"I'm quick, don't worry."
Seeing that Li Yi was unmoved at all, the scribe couldn't stay calm at this moment. He backed away again and again, his throat trembling, "Don't, I'm going to court, I'm going to court right now."
"You look up at the time, it's too late, I really hope you can wake up."
"There are no soldiers under your command. Where did you get the confidence to think that you can suppress the queen and let her do what you want?"
"It's really bullying her kindness."
With a wave of Li Yi's hand, it was another good head.
Holding the knife, Li Yi turned and went to the next place.
The crowd was already terrified, they ran wildly, regardless of whether the court clothes were neatly dressed, they ran into the palace desperately.
At this moment, the only safe place is in front of the queen.
"Duke, according to the report from Du Qianwei, they have all entered the palace."
"Alright, save us going everywhere."
Li Yi shook the blood on the armor, led Yin Cheng and others on horseback and rushed towards the palace.
Lu Li looked at the group of people flying into the hall with disappointment in his eyes.
Having read poetry and books, why didn't they learn a little bit of the essence from the sages? The lust for power is charming, these people have long since lost their hearts.
That's right, scholars who can be cultivated by the aristocratic family don't have any arrogance. They just need to be obedient and easy to control.
The imperial examination selects talents, but the scholars imported to the imperial court are basically the children of major aristocratic families, or the scholars attached to them.
This is why Daqian needs a big break.
The aristocratic family must be destroyed, at least, no scholars can be let out of their hands.
If the king's will cannot be delivered, the country will quickly decline.
"Empress, you have indulged Lu Yu too much. To massacre officials and scholars in this way, is this trying to destroy all the officials!"
Straightening their clothes, those who entered the hall raised their heads, looked directly at Lu Li, and made a loud and forceful sound.
Lu Li pressed her hand to silence the refuting officials, and she walked down from the upper seat, "I want to know, what were you thinking in your heart when you were just learning?"
"Being an official, benefiting the people? Or teaching and educating people? Or just following in the footsteps of the sages and feeling the mysteries in the book?"
"Is what you are doing now in line with the vision at that time?"
"Touch the black yarn on your head, and you really don't feel ashamed at all!"
Lu Li's voice turned from calm to majestic.
"Abandon the arrogance of scholars, beggars of the aristocratic family, the mind is all about the officialdom, the imperial court hires you, what is the so-called!"
"Come and answer me personally!"
"Why didn't you speak?"
Lu Li took a step forward, and everyone took a step back, their faces flushed, but they couldn't say anything to refute.
"Do you know what the worst thing is?"
"It is clear that the purpose of the family and the misery of the people are still helping the tyrant."
"Among you, there should be people who have come out of poverty. Instead of trying to change the status quo, they become one of them, solidify the class, and make it difficult for the poor to produce talents."
"I've lost the face of the scholars, what qualifications do you have to question me!"
Under Lu Li's increasingly fierce momentum, everyone retreated again and again, grabbing their cuffs.
Lu Li glanced at them, turned around with an indifferent expression, walked up the steps, and sat back on the phoenix seat.
The hall was silent, and everyone lowered their heads, maintaining the silence.
The queen broke out, and she couldn't bear it anymore. If they oppressed her with righteousness, they would only be expelled from the palace and escorted to the Meridian Gate.
The noble and majestic woman on the phoenix throne was obviously beautiful, but they didn't dare to look directly at main hall is becoming more and more dull, and you can hear a needle drop.
No one dared to ask Lu Li what was discussed this morning and how long they had to stay.
The invisible coercion made everyone sweat gradually on their foreheads.
This atmosphere was not broken until a group of neat footsteps sounded outside.
Lu Li looked up and met Li Yi's gaze.
"Report to the empress." Li Yi took out the paper and read out the people who had been executed.
"My lords who ran into the palace, I don't know if they still have to deal with it as before?"
Li Yi cupped his fists and asked for instructions.
Lu Li glanced at those people, "I have given you the opportunity, Commander Lu will figure it out."
Lu Li made it clear that he didn't want to take back his will.
"Your Majesty, don't do it. The repeated massacres will inevitably cause turmoil everywhere. Someone will definitely take the opportunity to coerce the people and turn against the court!"
Someone came out and pleaded urgently.
There are many vegetarians, but there are also many who sincerely serve the country and the people.
One after another, people asked Lu Li to take back his life.
Lu Li's face was not moved.
She was tired, pushing high-level memorials every day. In the hall, she looked at the dignified people and said righteous words. Every decree needed to be emphasized and urged repeatedly.
It was almost necessary to use the strong pressure of the former department of the capital to pass it down. It took her half a year to deal with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and others in the school of Shunning Mansion before it was fully spread.
Encourage business and innovation, in order to increase the court tax, so that land will no longer be the only way of life for the people, so that they can get rid of the control of the local tyrants.
It takes a little bit of grinding to do these things. She has exhausted her efforts, but she is no match for their indifference.
She has retreated enough.
When the butcher knife is raised, there is no possibility of stopping.
Only by washing the hall with blood can Dagan be completely pulled out of the mud.
"kill!"
Li Yi raised his voice.
The guards and the forbidden army immediately surrounded the people, and Li Yi walked under the high seat, blocking the blood with his body.
The screams sounded in the hall.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Someone knelt down and begged.
"Teacher, say something!"
Mr. Tang withdrew his gaze from Li Yi, he glanced at his officials and begged, his lips moved, "It should have been like this long ago."
"What's the point of worrying, these things, don't they all occupy the latrine and don't shit."
"Without them, at most everyone will work harder."
"Teacher, what about the aristocratic family? They will definitely cause a big turmoil!"
"Then it's a mess, now it's a mess, the foundation for doing a lot is still there, and it's a new beginning after getting through it."
"Procrastinate any longer, until it is completely rotten, then Dagan will really die."
"The aristocratic family is too presumptuous, and they can no longer recognize themselves. They need to be cleaned up."
"Grand Master, if there is internal turmoil and foreign enemies move again, how can we be finished?"
The doctor Yushi cried blood every word, but only Tang Taishi could stop the empress.
"You look down on the queen too much. She is not an ignorant woman. What you worry about, do you think she doesn't know?"
"That Lu Yu, I'm afraid it's very difficult."
