Chapter 85 Kill them all!

Although the Tiger Guards had just been formed not long ago, they were all elites drawn from the Forbidden Army. To put it bluntly, they were the outstanding soldiers in the Forbidden Army who were able to practice.

Since it is currently impossible to popularize the cultivation techniques to the entire Forbidden Army, Liu Xuan chose to mobilize these outstanding talents to form an elite force to form combat strength as soon as possible.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards is fully guaranteed. Maybe it is not enough to go to the battlefield, but arresting some scribes and students is indeed not a difficult task. In less than half a day, not only all the students who caused trouble were arrested

, Mi Heng, who took the lead, was also tied up and sent to Liu Xuan.

In addition to these people, Zhen Mi and her family members who sent her to Chang'an were also brought here - Zhen Mi's father was the original Cai Ling Zhen Yi, who was also an official of the imperial court.

I was shocked for a while when I sent my daughter to Beijing.

Although his daughter had a little reputation, he still couldn't figure out how it spread to Chang'an. Of course, it was not unusual for the emperor to take a liking to a daughter from a certain family and send him to the palace with an edict, but this edict was actually

It is a bit unbelievable to think that his daughter is good at studying and wants to send her to the Imperial College.

But if you look at it from left to right, the edict does not seem to be fake, not to mention the presence of special Tiger Guards and court envoys, which shows that this matter is indeed true.

Zhen Yi is reluctant to face this situation - he can roughly guess what will happen after this matter spreads. There will definitely be no shortage of rumors, and it is not a good thing for his family. On the contrary, it has become a

The target of public criticism.

But the emperor's edict could not be violated, and his daughter Zhen Mi seemed to be very interested in entering the Imperial Academy, so he had no choice but to take his daughter to Chang'an.

What happened next was not at all surprising to him. He thought this was fine at the time, but before he could take his daughter away, the emperor actually sent soldiers to arrest those people together. At the same time, a man who accompanied him

The young eunuch (Cao Bao) also invited himself into the palace to see the emperor.

This...things changed so fast that he couldn't react quickly, so he was still a little dizzy until he entered the palace.

On the contrary, the little daughter beside him looked very interested. Although her little head was not turning around so much, her eyes were not idle for a moment, curiously looking at everything she saw on the road.

As soon as Liu Xuan came in, he looked at the little girl. Her big eyes were full of curiosity. However, after all, this girl came from an official family and had a very strict upbringing. She quickly withdrew her gaze, and then she and everyone looked towards her.

The emperor salutes.

After Liu Xuan took his seat, he took a general look at the group of people in front of him. The person in front of him was Mi Heng, who had just entered the court and served as the Councilor for less than five days.

Originally, this guy didn't do anything after he came to the court, so Liu Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that he would do this to him after only being honest for five days. It was really...

At the same time, what made Liu Xuan angry this time was not that Mi Heng scolded him at the gate of Taixue - Liu Xuan had some idea of ​​what kind of person this guy was, so maybe he would be surprised if he didn't curse.

What really made Liu Xuan angry was that those hundreds of students dared to openly defy his will when they were incited. Could it be that they really thought that he was a treasure?

Just as he was about to speak, a guard suddenly came to report: "Taichang Qing Kong Rong wants to see you!"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then cursed secretly: "You actually came here on your own initiative, that's just right!" Then he casually ordered: "Let Kong Taichang come in!"

The guard retreated after hearing this, and then Kong Rong walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the hall, he was stunned for a while when he saw the student kneeling on the ground. Then he saw his friend Mi Heng being tied up and kneeling on the ground.

At the end, his face also became a little ugly.

As to whether it was because his friend angered the emperor or because the emperor treated Mi Heng like this, no one knows.

Walking to the front, he respectfully saluted the emperor. According to Kong Rong's status, Liu Xuan also had to return the salute. After the ceremony, Kong Rong sat down directly beside him, and then said directly without waiting for Liu Xuan to speak: "Your Majesty, you are Zhengping.

It doesn’t seem appropriate to act like this when you are a court minister!”

Liu Xuan glanced at Kong Rong coldly, but did not answer his question, and did not even question Mi Heng. Anyway, he already had a problem with him, but those hundreds of students...

Pointing at the students who held their heads high and thought they had done something big, Liu Xuan scared them to the point of sweating profusely as soon as he opened his mouth: "You... all deserve to die!"

These people thought that the emperor would ask why they and others were like this, and then they could give a long speech, saying that the emperor would repent and revoke the ridiculous edict, and then not only would the court remain peaceful, but they and others would also be famous for it.

Spread it all over the world. Maybe there will be a good story left behind that will be passed down to future generations forever.

But who would have thought that today, today, he would say "damn it" as soon as he opened his mouth. This... seems a little wrong.

Before everyone could understand what was going on, and a few of them wanted to defend themselves, they heard Liu Xuan say something else.

"Is it because the imperial court funded and supported you and sent the best scholars and scholars in the world to teach you and cultivate you to do this kind of thing?"

Liu Xuan's face looked extremely ugly at this time, and even the student who was farthest away could clearly feel his anger.

Even Kong Rong was shocked - he had long heard that the emperor's temper was not very good, but during the period when he entered the court, although Liu Xuan occasionally showed an unhappy look, in general the emperor was still kind to others.

, I don’t get angry very much on weekdays. When I get really angry, I just say a few words and it’s over.

But today, he finally saw what the emperor looked like when he was angry. At the same time, Kong Rong also understood why the emperor was angry - the emperor didn't care if you, Mi Heng, scolded you on the street.

But you Heng absolutely should not instigate the Imperial College students to disobey the imperial edict. For an emperor, this is simply a slap in the face.

At that time, in order to compete for status, the Confucian sect misinterpreted some Taoist teachings and said that Taoism wanted to compete for the world. The Confucian sect had absolutely no such intention, but now what Mi Heng has done... It is true that he did not compete for the world, but the people below are actually willing to listen to a person with great fame.

A great scholar who refuses to obey the emperor's orders, this...

Thinking of this, Kong Rong also realized the seriousness of this matter, and faint stains of sweat could be seen on his forehead. However, Mi Heng had a very close friendship with him, and he would definitely try his best to preserve it.

More importantly, from the bottom of his heart, he believed that Mi Heng did the right thing, so when Liu Xuan was yelling at him, Kong Rong was thinking about how to resolve the matter.

"Hundreds of Taixue disciples... I don't think His Majesty will impose any drastic punishment, right?"

Just when he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Xuan yell loudly: "Pull them all out and chop them!"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of students were stunned, Kong Rong was stunned, Mi Heng was also a little stupid - even the father and daughter of the Zhen family who were silent and pretending to be statues were stunned.

The guards in the palace were not in a daze, but they all looked at the emperor together, wondering if they had heard wrongly or understood the meaning of the words wrongly. Maybe His Majesty just said that he would pull the person down and beat him up? This is a cut...

…Could it be that he is really the leader?

"What are you looking at? These hundreds of Taixue students do not want to serve the imperial court. Instead, they gathered together to cause trouble under the influence of a madman. Do they really think that the imperial court is just a decoration and dare not punish their crimes? Pull them all out! No one will be spared!"

After speaking, he pointed at Mi Heng: "Mi Heng is plotting to rebel, and he will beheaded together. Their heads will be hung at the gate of the Imperial College for three days!"

"His Majesty!"

Mi Heng's face turned pale as soon as these words came out, and Kong Rong immediately opened his mouth to stop him: "You Zhengping just said too much, and the crime will not lead to death..."

"Gathering a crowd to cause trouble and inciting students to openly disobey the edict, are you trying to tell me that he is the one who decides the world?"

These words were so serious that even Kong Rong didn’t know how to respond. Especially Liu Xuan obviously had a grudge against him: “You Zhengping, you are not very talented, but at least you don’t have any virtue at all.

Seeing such mediocre people, don’t recommend them to the court again in the future..."

Mi Heng opened his mouth and wanted to speak again. Liu Xuan knew that this guy would definitely want to argue again. Generally, people like this may not have much real talent, but their eloquence is definitely first-class. Liu Xuan didn't think he could scold them.

So I never gave him a chance to speak.

It didn't happen at this time either. Liu Xuan waved his hand and a Tiger Guard soldier immediately rushed up and lifted him up. Then he covered Mi Heng's mouth very conspicuously and dragged him out.

This posture was obviously directed by someone. Liu Xuan turned his head slightly and saw that Cao Bao had just put down his hand. It was probably because he made a gesture from behind that the two soldiers knew to stop Mi Heng's mouth.

"Hey... Cao Bao's ability to figure things out is getting better and better. It seems that Zhang Rang really has no secrets..."

Looking back, Mi Heng had been dragged out of the hall and disappeared. At this time, he looked at the hundreds of students. They were all shaking and their faces were even pale. The few who were timid had already fallen to the ground——

Seeing the ugly behavior of these students, Liu Xuan's face became even more disgusted.

"Pull them all out and kill them!"

Waving his hand, he didn't want to see these guys again for a moment, so it would be a good thing to use this opportunity to get rid of these useless trash.

Trying to think in a positive direction, Kong Rong jumped out again.

He knew that Mi Heng could not be saved, but these hundreds of students must be saved. This is the entire power of Confucianism in Taixue. It will become the most powerful force in the court in the future. If they are all destroyed here today,

The blow suffered by Confucianism may not recover for hundreds of years.

Thinking about the fact that today's people are not interested in Confucianism... maybe Confucianism will decline...

He didn't know that Liu Xuan didn't hate Confucianism. What he hated were these hypocritical Confucians who used the banner of Confucianism to seek personal gain. Even if these guys were established by the previous emperors to facilitate their rule, what does this have to do with him?

?

As for the truly virtuous scholars, he respected them very much - he asked himself that his moral character was not very good, but it did not mean that he would hate those with noble moral character.

However... Kong Rong was obviously not among these, so when Kong Rong said: "If your Majesty insists on carrying out such a cruel act, then please kill the humble minister first!"

Liu Xuan barely hesitated for a moment before shouting: "Pull Kong Wenju out together and chop him!"
