"What?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone revealed a look of horror. Their eyes widened in fear, revealing an expression of disbelief.
What did they hear?
The Crown Prince wanted to kill him?
Wasn't he afraid of stirring up unrest among the scholars?
Could it be that he was just casually saying it to intimidate those scholars?
No, it wasn't.
That was because the moment Li Chengqian finished speaking, the soldiers behind him drew their sabers and charged over with cold expressions.
This was…really killing him.
"Your Highness, you can't." Wei Zheng exclaimed.
The officials were anxious. If they really killed him, then the matter would be really big.
It was so big that even His Majesty could not control it.
Li Chengqian looked on calmly, as if the matter here had nothing to do with him.
They were just a bunch of ignorant scholars. He did not have the time to deal with them.
If you are not satisfied, just say it and kill them.
If Li Er wanted to make the Great Tang prosper, he needed to take things slowly.
But he didn't need it.
And those few soldiers did not hesitate. After following Li Chengqian to destroy the Lu Clan, they had started to absolutely obey Li Chengqian's orders.
So very quickly, they rushed in front of the scholars and raised the sabers in their hands.
The officials panicked, the onlookers were shocked, the scholars were afraid, and the soldiers 'sabers fell.
"What are you doing…"
"How dare you? We are scholars. If you kill us, you will be buried with us.”
"Even the Crown Prince can't protect you."
The scholars shouted in panic, but the soldiers were unmoved.
"Pfft…"
With the first clear sound, the first saber cut open a scholar's throat.
Fresh blood suddenly spurted out and sprayed high into the air. The scholar, on the other hand, fell down unwillingly with a terrified expression.
" Your Highness, you can't! Stop it!"
With Wei Zheng as the leader, some of the officials rushed over to stop him. Some of them revealed cold expressions after their shock.
This time, no one could protect the Crown Prince.
"Don't kill me…"
" I quit. I won't question the Crown Prince anymore. Don't kill me…"
These scholars were really panicking. A few of them began to beg for mercy.
In order to survive, he no longer cared if others would despise him.
However, it was useless.
The soldiers 'knives fell on them one after another like they were harvesting wheat.
The weak scholar couldn't withstand a single blow from the soldiers.
"Ah…"
With the last scream, there was no longer a living scholar in front of the soldiers.
Their sabers were still dripping with glaring blood, making one shudder in fear.
At this moment, the scholars led by Cui Wenfeng of the Cui family died with grievances.
None of them had expected this.
No one could have imagined that the Crown Prince would actually kill them. Wasn't he afraid of chaos?
The scene went silent for a moment.
Wei Zheng and the others, who were rushing over, froze on the spot, their bodies trembling.
Something big had happened.
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian.
As for Li Chengqian, he had a calm expression, as if he had just done something insignificant.
" Your Highness, killing the scholar…"
"I really killed him…"
"This…this…sigh…"
"What should I do…"
"Quickly inform His Majesty…"
The onlookers were terrified, and some officials beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Li Chengqian was unmoved by the chaos. He turned to look at the officials of the Cui family and smiled.
This smile made the officials lower their heads and hide.
Then, Li Chengqian walked to the front of the onlookers and looked at them.
There were scholars there. They were relatively calm and weren't incited by Cui Wenfeng. At the same time, there were also some commoners.
Li Chengqian looked at them and slowly said,""Reading is to be reasonable, to benefit the people, and to rule the world. It's not to be superior to others, to be arrogant, and it's not the capital to do whatever you want.
As a scholar, he should have a broad mind and be good at thinking, not be stubborn and eager for success. Looking down on craftsmen, ha…what a sense of superiority! As the Crown Prince of the Great Tang, I don't look down on them, and I know that the rise of the Great Tang depends on them.
But what about some scholars? You're even more arrogant than bengong, have you read all the books of sages? Literature could govern a country, but it was not pedantic. The Great Tang did not need such scholars.
Today, bengong will repeat it once again. The only way to rejuvenate the country is to work hard. If there are any scholars who are not convinced, you can come and find BenGong, BenGong's knife is sharp.
As for why I said this, just you wait. When I return victorious, I'll show you why craftsmen can make the Great Tang prosper.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring the stunned crowd.
In the distance, under the lead of the Fire Qilin, a dozen horses galloped over. Li Chengqian was the first to mount the horse, followed by the soldiers. The group gradually disappeared.
What was left was a silent scene.
After a long while, an official said in a daze.
"What did Your Highness just say?"
"Triumph Day?"
" Not good, stop the Crown Prince…"
