Taiping Inn

Lu Yanbing brought people to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, looked around, and then slowly raised one hand and raised it in the air. read

Those who came with her focused their eyes on her raised palms.

Lu Yanbing suddenly slashed his raised hand: "Battle!"

"Yes." The Taoist sect responded in unison and rushed out in an instant.

These Taoist disciples held sticks and showed no mercy.

Before these Confucian scholars could recover, many of them were knocked to the ground and suddenly became a mess. Many people were so scared that they fled all over the place, while others still couldn't stand it. The Taoist people didn't hold back and directly beat them all up.

As for the tablet, it had fallen to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Lu Yanbing stood in the middle of the steps in front of the Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

It was not until most Confucian scholars were scattered that Lu Yanbing said, "Forget it."

The people from the Taoist sect stopped.

At this time, the large ping in front of the Governor's Mansion was full of Confucian scholars, all over the place, none of whom could stand still, some were moaning, some had fainted.

Lu Yanbing walked down the steps, came to a scholar, and asked, "Why are you causing trouble?"

The scholar replied angrily: "Because I feel unpleasant!"

Lu Yanbing asked again, "What's wrong with it?"

The scholar said, "Please ask for your orders for the people."

Lu Yanbing asked, "Are the people you are talking about who have no land to sell their children? Or are the gentry who just has not become an official but has countless fertile land?"

The scholar stopped talking at once.

Lu Yanbing ordered, "Bring people here."

Immediately someone took the order and left.

Not long after, a group of people with tanned skin and ragged clothes came over. The leader was an old man. After seeing Lu Yanbing, he immediately fell to his knees and kowtows.

Lu Yanbing said, "Don't be too polite, get up and talk."

The old man stood up and asked, "I wonder what this lord has to give?"

Lu Yanbing was wearing men's clothes today and covered her eyes with sunglasses. Apart from her voice, it was difficult to tell whether she was a woman. She just thought she was an official in the Governor's Office. She heard her say, "Brother-in-law, this scholar said that they were asking for the people, saying that the Qinmen Hall distributed land to the people was a violation of the rules of the ancestors, and that the people were full of enthusiasm, and the people hated the Qinmen Hall to death. This time I came here to force Qinbutang to take back the divided fields. I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?”

The father-in-law was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically: "What do you say, what have you divided into fields?

Or should I take it back? The master of the ministry is golden, so he can't keep his word. ”

Lu Yanbing smiled and said, "The father-in-law misunderstood. Qinbutang never said he wanted to take back the fields. They were these scholars. They said that the people were unwilling to divide the fields, and they were even more unwilling to exempt them from the tuition. They came to "persuad" Qinbutang to take them back. Cheng Ming also said that if Qinbutang does not agree, Qinbutang will be infamous for thousands of years."

These ordinary people naturally dare not disrespect these noble scholars and men. But now, seeing that scholars and men of juren have been searched one by one, they are now beaten to death, and they know that the gentry and men have lost their homes. The situation changed, so naturally I was no longer afraid, so the old man suddenly became excited: "The nonsense asks for the people, whoever says he is unwilling to divide the land should be hit by five thunders! It's just bullying us farming illiterately, Only then do they dare to make up things, and everything is in the name of our ordinary people, but the benefits are theirs."

The people following the old man also spoke out, scolding these gentry masters, and some even spit at the scholars on the ground.

Lu Yanbing smiled and said, "What a turbulent people's sentiment, okay, okay, okay."

After saying that, she kicked the scholar with her shoes and asked, "Did you understand? Did you hear clearly? You said that the people's sentiment is booming, you want to ask for your life. How dare you ask, where are the people? Are these things? In your eyes, the people are not human at all?”

The scholar was a tough guy, so he raised his head and said angrily: "The way of the saint..."

Lu Yanbing interrupted coldly, "I have never heard of the way of a saint. The Supreme Taoist ancestor said: "The way of heaven is to make up for the shortcomings with surplus, and the way of man is to make up for the shortcomings with surplus." What he said is you It's ".

After the words came, a Taoist disciple walked out with the tablet of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.

Lu Yanbing's face turned cold and shouted, "Please take all these people into detention and post a notice so that the people will not have any worries and boldly expose the crimes of the gentry. Anyone who deceives men and women or takes away their wealth will be arrested once verified. Ask for the crime. But if someone falsely accuses, they will not let it go once they are verified."

Everyone responded with a loud bang.

The scholar still glared at Lu Yanbing and shouted: "You and the traitors will one day be despised by thousands of people."

Lu Yanbing sneered, "Your words made me understand. You hate me because of the word "profit". It is really like killing someone's wealth and killing your parents, but I have to die. My reputation is not good, but I believe I have never done anything that is angry with heaven and man. Now you are clamoring to make me lose my bad reputation for thousands of years. It doesn't matter, I won't kill you, I want you to watch, how am I Slowly break the backbone of scholars and break the scholars and scholars

Look at the so-called character, how much does it matter? ”

The scholar's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to speak, but he was dragged away by the Taoist disciples.

Li Xuandu also sent the great heavenly master Zhang Luanshan and the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect Shangguan Wan to visit the Sheji Academy, asking the Sheji Academy to hand over those Confucian scholars who were misleading the people. If they did not obey, they should not say that they had not warned them.

There were three great priests in the Sheji Academy. One of them, Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan, went to the imperial capital and was not in the Sheji Academy. Another great priest, Wu Fengcheng, died in the cave heaven of Qingqiu Mountain with his father Wu Zhenyue. Only the great priest Meng Zheng was left to preside over the daily affairs of the Sheji Academy.

Meng Zheng's position was somewhat similar to that of the great priest Sikong Daoxuan of the Wanxiang Academy. They both advocated peace.

They believed that the rise and fall were inevitable, and no one could avoid it. Now that the Confucian School could no longer maintain the position of the master of the world, it should consider how to withdraw decently instead of confronting the Taoist School head-on. However, how could they spit out the benefits that had been swallowed? How can they be inferior to others when they are used to giving orders? Therefore, the Confucian sect still advocates war, and the two are excluded and gradually marginalized.

Sikong Daoxuan is fine. He has a wide network of contacts and is friends with Li Daoxu, Li Xuandu and many people in the Taoist sect. He is highly respected. The Confucian sect is prepared for the worst case scenario and still relies on Sikong Daoxuan to mediate, so they are quite courteous to Sikong Daoxuan. Meng Zheng is a loner and doesn't deal with people much, so he doesn't get such treatment. This is also the reason why the Sheji Academy asked Meng Zheng to stay with the Wanxiang Academy, which is somewhat like abandoning a child.

Meng Zheng's treatment this time is quite interesting. He did not hand over these Confucian scholars to the Taoist sect for disposal, but he did not allow them to cry in front of the saint's tablet again. At the same time, he closed the Sheji Academy and stopped caring about Qizhou's affairs.

In terms of the strength of the Confucian school, this was already a surrender. Li Xuandu did not send people to attack the Sheji Academy, but just let people spread two pieces of news quickly. One piece of news was that the Sage's Mansion surrendered and supported the new policy in Liaodong, and the other piece of news was that the Sheji Academy closed its doors and surrendered to the Taoist school.

Although Li Xuandu did not fight during this trip to Qizhou, he won without fighting and easily wiped out the two major forces of the Confucian school in Qizhou, which can be said to be a great victory.

The next step is to march into the Imperial Capital, which is the fundamental key of the Confucian school. In a sense, it was the Confucian school that took the initiative to give up Qizhou, but the Confucian school would never take the initiative to give up the Imperial Capital. The Confucian school gave up Qizhou in order to concentrate its superior forces to fight a desperate battle with the Taoist school, which is the real key.

After Li Xuandu generally handled various affairs in Qizhou, he asked Li Feiyan to stay in Qizhou, both to assist Qin Daofang in continuing to implement the new policy and to monitor the Sage's Mansion and the Sheji Academy. Li Xuandu led the Taoists and Qin Xiang's army to the Imperial Capital.
