Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 193 Do You Think I'm Blind?

The emperor said he had no objection, who would dare to say that he had an opinion?
The drawing of lots was over, and the scholars in the south were suffocating in their hearts. Although the scholars in the north finally took advantage, they felt uncomfortable.

Li Hui said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the scholars in the south have accepted the lottery, but the soldiers and horses have killed so many of us, the court must have an explanation!"

"What do you want to say?" Wang Mang said coldly.

"The murderer pays with his life!" Li Hui said cruelly.

"Haha." Wang Mang laughed, ignored Li Hui, but looked at Wang Qinian and said, "Wang Qinian, did you see that this scholar asked you to pay for his life? What do you say?"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I have nothing to say!" Wang Qinian said respectfully, "I have warned the scholars many times before, but they didn't listen. In addition, they killed people, just like this scholar. As it is said, the murderer pays with his life, and that's how things are."

"You...are making too much sense!" Li Hui pointed at Wang Qinian and said angrily, "The scholars present are all future pillars of the imperial court and the pillars of the country. If you killed more than 100 of them in one go, you are not guilty!"

"The scholars who were killed were the pillars of the imperial court, so aren't the soldiers who were killed the pillars of the imperial court?" Wang Qinian stared and said loudly: "You are just the pillars of the imperial court in the future, and these soldiers are now the pillars of the imperial court. Scholars who read the sage's book, would have such thoughts, it's simply...ashamed of the sage's teaching!"

Li Hui's expression froze, he pointed at Wang Qinian, and cursed: "Officer dog, how dare you bully us!"

Wang Qinian almost fainted out of breath. He was scolded as a dog official in front of so many people. If he can't get back to his place today, how will he gain a foothold in the court in the future.

But Wang Qinian didn't dare to do anything, because Wang Mang was by his side, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

Of course Wang Mang knew what Wang Qinian was thinking, he just waved his hands and said, "Wang Qinian, what crime should I be culpable for gathering a crowd to make trouble and publicly insulting the court officials?"

"I understand!" Wang Qinian said with a bow, and as soon as he stood up, he waved his hand. At that time, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over with their knives, and put the knives on Li Hui's neck.

Li Hui only felt a chill in his neck, and when he looked at Tong Nian who was lying in a pool of blood, he finally felt afraid, but he still bet that the court would not dare to do anything to him, so he stretched out his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, the students are not convinced!"

"Your Majesty, what is Li Hui's crime?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, Li Hui is pleading for orders on behalf of our scholars, what crime is he guilty of, that he is using weapons to kill himself!"

"Your Majesty, the scholars are not convinced!"

A group of scholars clamored, hundreds of people yelled, even Wang Mang was a little scared, not to mention the soldiers who put their weapons on Li Hui's neck, all the soldiers looked a little nervous.

Li Hui obviously noticed this, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the students are not convinced. Your Majesty, if you indulge these people and arrest the students today, your Majesty will regret what you did today!"

Following Li Hui, a group of students yelled, and all the officials of the imperial court also cast their inquiring eyes on Wang Mang. Wang Mang looked at Li Hui with a cold face and said, "Do you think you are important?"

"Students don't have this idea." Li Hui said.

"Then do you think you have so many scholars backing you up, you have nothing to fear?" Wang Mang asked again.

"The students don't think so." Li Hui said.

"You don't have such thoughts, and you don't have such thoughts, then I'm very surprised, what gave you such confidence that I don't dare to kill you!" Wang Mang looked at Li Hui expressionlessly.

Li Hui looked at Wang Mang looking at him, cold, very cold, Li Hui finally felt scared, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him, the emperor might really kill him.

But how is this possible?
In this world, I have never heard of an emperor who dared to risk the power of the world without disobeying and killing scholars. You must know that scholars are the cornerstone of court officials. Certainly not for long.

Water can carry a boat or capsize it!
This is the teaching of the sages, and it will never be wrong.

Li Huiqiang calmed down and said, "If your majesty insists on thinking this way, then the students have nothing to do. The students just want to tell your majesty that the public opinion is hard to go against. Big trouble, Your Majesty should be careful!"

"Yo, I really regard myself as an opinion leader." Wang Mang sneered, and said, "You are sure that I will not dare to do anything to you, but you don't know that I always take the soft and not the hard!"

"Wang Qinian!" Wang Mang shouted as he turned his head.

Wang Qinian then shouted loudly: "The minister is here!"

"Wang Qinian, what kind of crime should a person like this contradict your father, be disloyal and unfilial!" Wang Mang asked loudly.

"Behead!" Wang Qinian's eyes lit up.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Wang Mang said.

Wang Qinian took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out a bright long knife from the waist of a soldier on one side, and jumped up suddenly. Under the incredulous eyes of all courtiers and scholars, the knife flashed, and a head on Li Hui's neck was unexpectedly The light of the knife fell to the ground.

Until Wang Qinian cut him down, Li Hui still had an unbelievable look on his face. He wanted to break his head, and he couldn't understand why the emperor killed himself like this. That's not how the script was written!
"Your Majesty, no way!"

"Your Majesty, don't!"

"Wang Qinian, before Your Majesty, don't use weapons rashly!"

When Li Hui's head fell to the ground, the voices of dissuasion from all the courtiers spread, but it was too late, Li Hui was already dead.

The disbelief-looking scholars also reflected it at this time. At that time, more than 100 scholars yelled at Wang Mang: "Foolish King, how dare you trample on us like this!"

kill!

Facing a group of scolding scholars, Wang Mang had only one word, while Wang Qinian rushed over directly with a knife.

Wang Qinian thought simply, as the so-called non-doing and non-stop, anyway, he first ordered the killing of more than 100 scholars, and then killed Li Hui himself, and now he simply killed them all, anyway, killing one is killing, killing Two are also killed.

"crazy!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Jian finally couldn't help but let out a low growl, stood up, stared at Wang Mang, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, are you going to be that foolish king?"

"Zhang Jian, I respect you, but that doesn't mean you can act presumptuously in front of me!" Wang Mang looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Retire now, and I can pretend that you didn't say anything just now!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Jian said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please stop. If you don't stop, your Majesty's reputation among scholars will be ruined for the rest of his life. You are just some stupid students. Why is Your Majesty so unwise!"

"Zhang Jian, your brain is broken, I don't have the same knowledge as you, Li Lan, help the old Shangshu go home and rest!" Wang Mang said coldly.

"You..." Zhang Jian stretched out his hand and waved Li Lan back, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, look around, who is not looking at you with timid eyes? What are you doing now? Your Majesty wants to shock the world, not by killing people." The power to shake the world depends on virtue. Your majesty, please listen to the old minister's advice, let's forget about today's affairs. Let Wang Qinian stop first, and then issue a sinful order. The old minister put aside his old face and help His Majesty There is more publicity in Shilin, and this is probably the way it is."

"Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian, what do you think of me?" Wang Mang asked Zhang Jian suddenly.

Zhang Jian said silently for a moment: "I don't know."

"You know." Wang Mang said directly: "You think I'm unreliable, or at least unreliable at the moment. In the eyes of a veteran like you, everything I'm doing now is tossing around and looking for trouble. Why? In this way, because you seek stability, I will change!"

Without waiting for Zhang Jian to speak, Wang Mang continued: "The Qin Dynasty has been established for thousands of years, and it has reached a situation where it has to change. If you continue to follow your old-fashioned approach, I am sure that my generation may continue to live in this land. The emperor is called the emperor, but my next generation is likely to be driven out of Chang'an City!"

"Long live Your Majesty, the Great Qin will last forever, how can Your Majesty say that?" Zhang Jian looked at Wang Mang in shock, as if he was meeting the emperor for the first time.

"Don't tell me long live, it's all a lie, if you can live forever, then it's not me who is the emperor of Qin now, but my ancestor." Wang Mang sneered and looked at it. Zhang Jian finally looked at the officials, and Wang Mang said: "Here, I can tell you very clearly that the reform is necessary and must be carried out. If anyone blocks my way, then I will not I don't care who you are, what background you have, I only have one word, and that is to kill!"

"I dare not wait!" All the ministers kowtowed and looked at Wang Mang in horror.

Wang Mang just sneered, and continued: "Scholars are making trouble? Who are you kidding? You think I'm really like a fool who doesn't know anything? I don't care who among you is in charge of all this, I will tell you today, Don't mess with me, mess with me, I'll really make you cry!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Jian once looked at Wang Mang with tears in his eyes.

Wang Mang just waved his hand, motioning for Li Lan to take him away.

Seeing that Zhang Jian was really taken away by Li Lan's Jin Yiwei guards like a prisoner, all the ministers were dumbfounded for a while.

"Dark Lord!"

"Dark Lord!"

A series of voices suddenly came from the group of scholars. The scholars resisted and shouted, but Wang Qinian chopped off one knife after another, and each knife was a head.

"Don't kill, we dare not!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Little people don't dare anymore!"

"Li Hui ordered us to do it, we were coerced, how could we have the guts to fight against the court!"

"Li Hui is a member of the Li family of the four major families in Nanyang. The Li family wants to put pressure on the court through troubles by scholars, and then seek some benefits that we don't know. This is all Li Hui, no, it is the four major families behind the scenes It's none of our business to instigate, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

A group of scholars finally got scared by Wang Qinian and begged for mercy loudly.

Wang Mang looked at the group of scholars who were under pressure, kneeling in a pool of blood and pleading, looked at the ministers and said: "Just these scholars who see a little blood and are dying and begging for mercy, do you think I am blind? Really? To count on them to be the pillars of the imperial court? To be the cornerstone of my sweeping the world?"
