The discussions in the capital were restrained because of the Emperor.
However, under the leadership of the scholars led by the Kong family, the storm became more and more intense.
The verbal crusade had actually evolved into a large number of scholars marching.
"Everyone! Today, we have gathered here to let the fatuous ruler know.”
"This world is not only his world, but also the world of the entire Dali Dynasty and the world of the people.”
"The people are more important than the king. This is the words of a saint, the truth of a saint!”
A scholar named Wang Yunwen was the leader of the marching scholars.
He had been studying under the Kong family since he was young, and now he had quite a reputation among scholars. It was also thanks to the Kong family.
Now that the fatuous ruler was incompetent and had even killed a Kong family official, he was the first to disagree.
In his heart, the Kong family was not only his teacher, but also his parents.
There was no need to talk about the Kong family's Saint. He was the teacher of the world.
"How can scholars like us tolerate such a foolish ruler?”
"I can't tolerate this! We will crusade against the fatuous ruler and return the world to Dali! Return Dali to its former glory!"
Under the encouragement of the hot-blooded Kong family saints, the scholars were all excited.
He had completely forgotten that his actions were treasonous and he would be beheaded.
However, even if he knew, he would still do so.
Everyone knew that His Majesty was fatuous and incompetent.
The ultimate goal of a scholar was nothing more than to become an official and work for the well-being of the world.
In the language system of the Kong family's saints, the highest honor of a civil official was to dare to remonstrate and not fear death.
Because the remonstrance was demoted, it was considered a successful retirement.
Because of his death, he was even more respected by scholars.
Wang Yunwen looked at the excited crowd and was overjoyed. He waved his hand and led the crowd to shout slogans.
"Punishing the fatuous ruler! It's my responsibility!"
"Punishing the fatuous ruler! It's my responsibility!"
"Kong Sheng descended from the heavens! Bless the Li Dynasty!"
"Kong Sheng descended from the heavens! Bless the Li Dynasty!"
The Kong Clan senior who had instructed Wang Yunwen had a satisfied look on his face as he sat in the hall and looked at the angry scholars.
He stroked his white beard and muttered to himself.
"Foolish ruler, have you seen the power of my Kong family?”
"All the scholars in the world are the mouths of my Kong family and are all members of my Kong family.”
"No matter how sharp your feathers are, can you seal the throats of my Kong family's officials and the mouths of everyone in the world?”
"Hahahahaha ~~"
Thinking of the proud part, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I'm a professional. I usually won't laugh unless I can't help it!
The parade was in full swing. The momentum was getting louder and louder, and more and more people joined.
From the beginning, the hundreds of people were all scholars.
Now, there were thousands of people, including commoners and small merchants.
There were all kinds of people, from 80-year-old old gentlemen to teenagers.
This wasn't just the contribution of the Kong family's scholar leader, but more importantly, the Emperor's reputation was too bad.
To be so incompetent and fatuous was already enough to make everyone despise and curse.
However, in the past, due to the imperial power, he did not dare to make a sound.
As soon as someone took the lead, a large number of people responded.
One had to know that this was only the first day, and there was already such a commotion. It was said that many scholars were rushing to the capital.
In order to fulfill his dream, he vented his unhappiness and bluntly remonstrated.
Looking at the thousands of people following him, Wang Yunwen immediately climbed onto the carriage and shouted anxiously.
"Flattering the fatuous ruler is the mission given to us by the people of the world! Today, we will head to the Imperial Palace and reprimand the fatuous ruler!”
"Enter the palace to reprimand the fatuous ruler! The heavens have bestowed us with a mission!"
Just as Wang Yunwen stood in the carriage and was about to lead everyone to the Imperial Palace…
On the carriage, behind him.
A person appeared silently.
This person was dressed in a black robe, had willow-shaped eyes, and long silver hair.
It was the Duke of the West Chamber!
"Those who talk nonsense about His Majesty will be killed without mercy!"
The killing intent that had turned into substance gushed out along with the cold words.
Wang Yunwen was sentenced to death, as well as the fate of everyone else.
The Duke of West Military Department stretched out his pale, slender left hand and grabbed Wang Yunwen's neck, lifting him in the air.
Because Wang Yunwen couldn't breathe, her face was red and her eyes were about to pop out.
In the face of the great terror brought about by death, he had long forgotten about the Kong family and the Sage Book.
"If I had known that death was so painful, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have"
With a crack, he could only tell the words in his heart to the King of Hell.
Those who disobey His Majesty will die!
This was the meaning of the West Hall's existence!
The Duke of West Military Department threw Wang Yunwen's corpse in front of the crowd as if he was stepping on an unremarkable cockroach.
His cold eyes flickered with a murderous light.
All the people in the demonstration fell silent the moment they saw him crush Wang Yunwen to death.
Regret!
Now, he was very regretful!
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Su Mo had already decided their fate.
"All the participants of the demonstration will be captured and handed over to His Majesty for decision.”
"Kill anyone who dares to resist!”
After the Duke of West Military Department finished speaking, his figure flashed and he flew to the palace to report.
In the surrounding streets and alleys, countless people wearing red and black embroidered uniforms appeared.
He had a black crown on his head, a red and black robe embroidered with the word 'Xi', and a long knife at his waist.
At this moment, all of them had been unsheathed. The bright surface of the blade reflected the bright sunlight, but it emitted waves of coldness, making everyone present tremble in fear.
"Run! The fatuous ruler is going to kill him to silence him!"
In the middle of the parade, someone shouted.
Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and fled in all directions in fear.
The cage was already prepared for them.
Escape?
Could he escape?
On that day, blood flowed like a river on the east street of the capital.
Countless drops of red blood flowed from East Street to West Street.
The smell of blood lingered for seven days, and the bloodstains were still visible for months.
The lucky survivors were all thrown into prison.
In the capital, all the movements were silenced by this massacre.
For a moment, everyone was in danger. They recalled if they had said anything bad about His Majesty.
All of them hid at home, not going out if they could, and not seeing anyone if they could.
The capital of Dali had been here for 800 years, but there had never been a day when the capital was as quiet as tonight.
Silence, silence was the Li Dynasty tonight!
The singing and dancing stopped in King Chi's residence, and there was no more music.
On the King Zhennan's mansion, the soldiers shut the door tightly, as if they wanted to block something outside.
The senior student from the Kong family who was present was so frightened that he returned to the Kong family with wet pants.
The Kong family cursed,"Stupid ruler! Since ancient times, there was only one person who was so fatuous!”
However, such curses could only be kept in their hearts and not spoken out loud.
