As expected, when the news of the marriage was spread, it was only less than ten days before the scholars in the capital brewed and erupted with a strong resistance.
And in other places, the literati's crusade was even more endless.
This was the resistance of the literati, who represented the will of the people.
And those who supported them and provided them with help were also the citizens of the Great Zhou who were loyal to their country.
......
"Damn it!"
"Why don't these lowly people know my good intentions?”
"Peace is the right thing to do. Didn't our Great Zhou fight for peace all these years? Now that we're giving you peace, you don't want it.”
In Yangxin Palace, Emperor Yuan Tai was furious when he read the news.
He originally thought that he could get the approval of the people, but he did not expect so many people to oppose him.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou, this made him fly into a rage out of humiliation.
" Your Majesty, there's no need to be anxious," Zhao Gao said." It's only because those lowlifes haven't realized what a great thing Your Majesty has done."”
"When they taste the benefits of the marriage alliance, they will naturally come to worship and support Your Majesty.”
"Your Majesty, why bother with these lowly people?”
"You're right. I won't argue with them. I'll wait for them to know their stupidity and then compliment me.”
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Emperor Yuan Tai calmed down.
These people did not know his good intentions as the emperor of Great Zhou, not that he had done something wrong.
At this moment, a rooster's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Wen Cifu is here again."
Emperor Yuan Tai was furious and scolded,"Tell him to scram quickly. It's impossible for zhen to change my mind.”
A eunuch walked in from outside and said in a sharp voice,""Your Majesty, Wen Cifu won't leave no matter what.”
"Then let him wait outside.”
Emperor Yuan Tai snorted coldly and had no intention of meeting Wen Cifu.
If it wasn't for Wen Cifu's excellent reputation in the imperial court and his honesty over the years, he would have long taken this opportunity to kill this bastard who always contradicted him.
Zhao Gao, who was behind him, had a mocking smile on his face.
As an emperor, he did not listen to advice, did not understand the feelings of the people, and did not understand the current situation.
How could the commoners accept such a Great Zhou?
He wondered what those people who supported Emperor Yuan Tai were thinking.
In less than two years, he had turned the entire Great Zhou into a mess.
......
In the imperial prison, Lu Yu cultivated as usual.
The news from the outside world had entered the prison these few days, just as he had expected.
As expected, Emperor Yuan Tai had fallen into a trap and hadn't noticed the problem at all.
Now, the world was stirred up again.
As long as this situation continued, Lu Yu could continue to grow stronger.
When he came out of seclusion, it was time for him to perform.
During this period of time, with the help of the Nine Suns Essence Cultivating Pill and the True Essence Pill, his sixth-grade grandmaster realm had been completely stabilized.
When his sword technique reached the great success stage, it would be the time for him to focus on improving his cultivation. At that time, he would definitely have a great breakthrough.
While Lu Yu was concentrating on his cultivation, the resistance of the people became more and more serious, and Emperor Yuan Tai found it more and more unbearable.
......
In the Qilin Hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Yuan Tai's temper was getting more and more irritable, and the imperial court couldn't control it.
"Why are these lowlifes so arrogant? They're simply lawless.”
Wen Cifu said,"Your Majesty, the people of Great Zhou all want to abolish the marriage alliance. I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"”
"Impossible. Zhen has already decided and will not go back on his word.”
"Moreover, this is something that is beneficial to the world. It's just that the commoners are stupid and don't understand.”
"When they see the peace and prosperity after the marriage alliance, they will naturally understand my good intentions.”
Emperor Yuan Tai frowned and waved his hand.
"But, Your Majesty!"
Before he could finish, the official jumped out and said,"Wen Cifu, don't you understand?”
"Your Majesty's choice is correct, but this commoner is too foolish.”
"I hope Wen Cifu will take care of himself and not be ungrateful.”
Wen Cifu's expression was gloomy." The riots of the people are getting more and more violent. The officials in various places are almost unable to hold on. I hope that Your Majesty will retract his order and refuse the marriage alliance."”
However, Emperor Yuan Tai said,"Since the riot is getting more and more intense, then send troops to suppress it!”
This was the result of Zhao Gao fanning the flames in front of Emperor Yuan Tai before the court.
In fact, Great Zhou's resentment towards Emperor Yuan Tai had been growing over the past few years.
The marriage alliance this time was just a fuse.
"Your Majesty, if we send troops to suppress the people, the resistance will be even more serious.”
Wen Cifu hurriedly said.
However, Emperor Yuan Tai had already made his decision. There was no room for negotiation.
"It's decided. Send troops to suppress them. They're just a group of troublemakers who still want to fight with me.”
"The martial artists of my Great Zhou are the strongest among the six countries!”
Emperor Yuan Tai smiled gloomily.
"Martial artists are the foundation of a country. It doesn't matter how many civilians die.”
After saying that, he called out the generals and ordered them to send troops.
No matter how Wen Cifu advised, the capital of Yuan Tai was unmoved.
......
Soon, the army filed out and sent out to suppress the various places.
On the streets of the capital, hundreds of scholars were holding banners that read," Refuse marriage, repel barbarians ", and were protesting.
Behind them were a dense crowd of people cheering for them. Their momentum was vast and mighty, like an army.
However, just as everyone was marching resolutely, an army suddenly rushed out from the front of the street.
The army was fully armed, numbering in the hundreds. Archers in the front and axemen in the back blocked the entire opposing team.
"His Majesty has ordered that all those who oppose the exhortation are dismissed on the spot. Otherwise, they will be regarded as rebels and we will suppress them.”
The commander at the front shouted.
A middle-aged scholar at the front of the opposition team saw this scene and said angrily,
"We are thinking for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are not rebelling. If Your Majesty withdraws his orders, we will naturally disband.”
"As a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should also understand how humiliating our Great Zhou Dynasty is in this marriage alliance. Why are they still suppressing us?”
The commander's heart was heavy, and he was speechless for a moment.
How could he not understand the stupidity of this marriage alliance?
However, His Majesty had already decided. What could these small generals do?
Even the King of Northern Yan, who was famous and admired by them, had become a prisoner, and his life was in danger.
They could only do what they were supposed to do and did not dare to say anything about the marriage alliance.
To be honest, he admired these scholars and commoners who stood up.
However, as a general of the imperial court, he had to obey orders. Otherwise, he would be the one to die.
"Cut the crap. Dismiss immediately, or we won't be polite.”The commander gritted his teeth.
The middle-aged scholar was not afraid, and the scholars and commoners behind him did not take even half a step back.
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man.
Not to mention scholars like them who had read thousands of books.
"Today, our Great Zhou will suffer a hundred years of humiliation. Even if we die, we will let His Majesty see the public opinion of the Great Zhou!”
The middle-aged scholar said in a deep voice. His expression did not change, and there was not a trace of fear.
The commander sighed inwardly, knowing that there was no other way.
With a wave of his hand, a pair of shieldmen rushed out from behind and formed a square formation.
"Charge!"
For a moment, screams of pain could be heard on the streets. The commoners began to flee, and the scholars in front stood firmly, allowing the shieldbearers to wash over them.
For the first time, all the scholars of the Great Zhou suffered large-scale casualties.
Faced with the violent suppression of the imperial court, all the commoners felt a chill in their hearts.
He was extremely disappointed in the Imperial Court and the Emperor who had decided to marry him.
For a time, the people of Great Zhou were filled with complaints and suffering.
