Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 396
Ma Yu didn't want to come, but under the pressure of Zhang Quan and Zhao Hao, Ma Yu had to come.

Ma Yu didn't want to show up, but after Wang Mang had named the White Horse Academy, Ma Yu had to stand up.

Ma Yu's stand out is his attitude. Among Daqin and Jixia Academy, he chose Jixia Academy. In fact, as early as when he brought a group of outstanding scholars from Baima Academy here to intercept the imperial army, Ma Yu Yu has already stood on the opposite side of Wang Mang, but Ma Yu has never wanted to admit it.

In Wang Mang's eyes, Ma Yu is slender and personable, and looks like a gentleman who is basking in the spring breeze, and this is also the impression given by most Confucian students, but now Ma Yu's face is not good-looking, he walks from a distance Come, just in an instant, he arrived in front of the high platform, and said respectfully to Wang Mang: "Ma Yu, a foreigner, has seen His Majesty, and wishes His Majesty a prosperous spring and autumn. Ma Yu is a citizen of Daqin, and dare not oppose His Majesty. Your Majesty is joking."

Wang Mang looked at Ma Yu coldly, and Li Lan, who was standing beside him, pointed to the high platform where he was giving lectures and shouted: "Ma Yu, you said that you don't want to fight against His Majesty or the court, so what are you going to do now?"

Ma Yu looked embarrassed and said: "The two on the high platform are university scholars invited by Ma Yu from Jixia Academy. They are giving a lecture here. I will wait here to listen to the lecture. The time and place have been set long ago. Ma Yu didn't I didn't know that the imperial court's army would pass by here, so it was all a misunderstanding, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Misunderstanding!" Li Lan shouted: "What misunderstanding, I think you want to fight against the court, you want to fight against His Majesty, let your people get out of the way quickly, or let your people splash blood on the spot today!"

Ma Yu's expression became even uglier. Although Wang Mang didn't say these words, they must have been instructed by Wang Mang. He didn't expect that Wang Mang would be so strong even after he assumed the name of Jixia Academy.

Could it be that Zhang Quan and the two are hiding something from me?
Ma Yu thought in his heart, but continued on his face: "Your Majesty, Ma Yu really has no intention of opposing His Majesty. Once this lecture is put down, it will take a day and a night to take it down. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the saint, and Ma Yu can't do anything about it."

"You mean to let the imperial army and His Majesty wait for you here for a day and a night?" Li Lan sneered.

Ma Yu's expression froze, and he said in embarrassment: "Ma Yu also knows that there is something wrong with this matter, but as a scholar, his awe of saints is always the same, and his desire for knowledge is always the same. Lectures, such grand events are also for the sake of my Daqin students and the imperial court, if possible, I hope that the imperial army can stay here for a day, and all expenses during the army's stay will be counted on Ma Yu's head."

"What a joke!" Li Lan shouted, "When did you, a barbarian, dare to negotiate terms with the imperial court and His Majesty?"

Ma Yu, who was repeatedly yelled at by Li Lan, felt a little annoyed from the bottom of her heart because she looked down on eunuchs, so she looked at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, the White Horse Academy has been diligent and diligent for many years, and has imported many talents for Daqin. The contribution the world has made is obvious to all, and His Majesty also knows that Ma Yu, as the dean of the White Horse Academy, does not say that he has meritorious service, at least he has some face. Your Majesty always makes this little eunuch talk to Ma Yu. Isn't it too disrespectful to Ma Yu? ? Or, Your Majesty disrespects the White Horse Academy behind Ma Yu?"

Only then did Wang Mang look at Ma Yu, and sneered: "Ma Yu, right now, I will give you two ways, one is that you get out of this way, and I will give you face to let you go, and the second is that I will lead people Just kill them, you can choose one of the two paths.”

Ma Yu looked at Wang Mang in shock, from Wang Mang's expression Ma Yu couldn't see the slightest sign of joking, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, I am Ma Yu, the dean of White Horse Academy, and White Horse Academy is the first academy in Daqin. The White Horse Academy has sent countless scholars to the Great Qin Dynasty for many years, and the lectures are held here by the great scholars from the Jixia Academy, so even if His Majesty doesn’t give me Ma Yu’s face, wouldn’t His Majesty also give me the face of the Jixia Academy?”

"The face is earned by yourself, not given by others." Wang Mang said coldly: "I don't care what you Ma Yu or Baima Academy did before, now you are blocking the imperial army from going to Hangu Pass, it is a big crime, it is a crime You will be punished, and if you are punished, you have to admit it.”

Ma Yu, whose complexion turned blue and white when Wang Mang said something, shouted: "Don't you even give Jixia Academy face?"

"Jixia Academy, I naturally give face, but the two people who use the name of Jixia Academy to deceive and cheat, do I need to give them face?" Wang Mang said coldly.

Jixia Academy is the number one academy in the world, representing the power of righteousness in the world, and moreover represents the orthodoxy of the mainland. As long as Daqin is still in the mainland system, it is impossible for Wang Mang to really turn against Jixia Academy. The academy can make small moves in secret, but it must not openly express that he wants to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries. After all, in the eyes of the world, he is only and will always be a sage academy, and will always remain neutral.

Jixia Academy did not announce to the world that he was going to attack Daqin, even if everyone knew that Jixia Academy was attacking Daqin, but they didn’t make it clear or didn’t say so, Wang Mang would never easily turn against Jixia Academy.

This time, people from Jixia Academy came to stop Wang Mang's army from rescuing Hangu Pass, but they were only people from Jixia Academy, and there was no official document from Jixia Academy.

For this situation, Wang Mang knew very well that no matter Jiang Wen or Zhang Quan and others, Wang Mang would treat them as liars, so that no matter whether he won or lost, he would not put the conflict between Daqin and Jixia Academy on the table.

Ridiculous politics!
Wang Mang sneered, hearing Wang Mang sneer, Ma Yu panicked, he also realized something was wrong at this time, but now he was on the verge of riding a tiger, so he could only follow Zhang Quan and others to the dark, otherwise he would offend Wang Mang and have Offended Jixia Academy, if the two ends are not settled, there is no way for him to survive.

Gritting his teeth, Ma Yu said loudly: "Your Majesty, these two people are not liars bluffing under the banner of Jixia Academy. One of them is Zhang Quan and the other is Zhao Hao. They are university students appointed by Jixia Academy. The academic world has a very high status, and I knew them when I was studying in Jixia Academy, and I can't be wrong about that."

"Really?" Wang Mang said coldly: "But I think they two look strange, they are not good people at first glance, they are liars at first glance, I think you should call them down and interrogate them."

Li Lan didn't wait for Ma Yu to speak, and shouted directly: "Bold Ma Yu, don't hurry up and bring those two liars to Your Majesty as His Majesty ordered."

Wang Yongji and others stepped forward together with the ministers of the Qin Dynasty, and all kinds of auras immediately pressed towards Ma Yu.
