To put it more seriously, if the imperial court makes a big fuss about this crime, it could even cause great damage to Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

And there was Zhu Xi, who was extremely ambitious. He actually wanted to take advantage of the changing fortunes of the dynasty to become a saint instantly.

The so-called science of reason may have some merits, but it also contains a lot of dross.

Once Neo-Confucianism was widely promoted, the Confucian orthodoxy would be completely castrated. In more serious cases, it would even spiritually rule and enslave countless Han people.

After Zhao Pu read the intelligence Yang Zhao had gathered, his face turned pale and he roared, "What on earth do these damn bastards want to do? Bastards, bastards, bastards!"

If it weren't for the covenant between man and God.

Now Zhao Pu might want to break through the void directly, rush to the Lianghuai area, tear Zhu Xi into pieces and grind his bones to ashes.

Looking at the extremely furious Zhang Fuyao and Zhao Pu.

Yang Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Old man, Saint, being angry now won't solve any problems. Apart from the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou and Zhu Xi in Lianghuai, Deng Tai'a, the monk Longshu, and Wang Zhonglou can also influence countless people in the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Pu turned his head, still furious, and said, "Boy, what do you want to say?"

Yang Zhao paused for a moment, then said with murderous intent: "Kong Pingzhong and Zhu Xi, if they are not killed, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. Qingzhou and Lianghuai should be massacred, and the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism need to be rectified."

"The hidden dangers here are enough to affect the future generations of the Song Dynasty for hundreds and thousands of years, and the consequences will be endless."

As soon as Yang Zhao opened his mouth, his expression was filled with blood.

Both Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao were frightened by Yang Zhao's murderous words.

And the key point is that both Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao knew that Yang Zhao was not joking and he really dared to take ruthless action.

Last year, in order to implement the new policy in the northern border, he swept hundreds of thousands of people in one go and built a Jingguan to intimidate the world.

In order to rectify the internal troubles of the Song Dynasty today, Yang Zhao may not dare to massacre the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Zhao Pu remained silent, but deep down, he somewhat agreed with Yang Zhao's proposal. Compared to the so-called Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, what Zhao Pu cared about most was the Song Dynasty court.

Zhang Fuyao's face turned pale, and he said, "My friend, things are not that serious yet, right?"

Yang Zhao chuckled and said, "Sage, Kong Pingzhong of Qingzhou and Zhu Xi of Lianghuai actually had ambitions a long time ago, but according to the way of the sage, why have these two families been forbearing until now and have not yet acted?"

Zhang Fuyao felt somewhat uneasy and stared at Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao's expression gradually turned cold and stern, and he said, "The saints are poor and self-disciplined, but other Confucians may not be able to have the saints' persistence and practice."

"In Qingzhou, the Kong family had millions of acres of fertile land. Together with the Lu, Gao, and Cui families, they took 70% of the population of Qingzhou as peasants and slaves. Zhu Xi of Huaibei and Huaibei had a different political strategy from the imperial court, so he devoted himself to studying literature and became a great scholar. He was very virtuous and collected thousands of dollars from merchants from the southeast and Huaibei. His personal virtues were hard to describe."

"I am not a bloodthirsty person, but this kind of private party behavior has already posed a huge threat to the entire court and the entire social system. If it is not eradicated soon, there will be unrest in the future."

The Song Dynasty court was actually very lenient towards those who were greedy for money and power.

As long as the power and wealth in your hands are obtained through your own efforts, the court will not do anything about it.

However, the Kong family joined forces with the Qingzhou gentry, and Zhu Xi gathered merchants from the southeast and Lianghuai. Their numbers were too large, and had reached a point that the court could no longer ignore.

The purpose of implementing the new policy is to completely break up these private parties.

The problem now is no longer whether the court should completely eradicate the Kong family and the Zhu family, but that Kong Pingzhong and Zhu Xi are completely unacceptable to the current court and want to destroy the new policy and change the master of the world.

This is a life and death issue that is irreconcilable and cannot be reconciled at all.

In addition to Confucianism, there are also various problems in Buddhism and Taoism.

When Yang Zhao laid these things clearly in front of Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, even Zhang Fuyao, who had lived for eight hundred years, felt as if he could not bear it any longer. He fell down on the mat and stammered in silence.

In today's Song Dynasty.

Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, except for a very small number of people, have almost completely rotten to the core.

Chapter 262: The destruction of the Lu family in Qingzhou, the massacre in Linzi City

The reason why Yang Zhao talked a lot with Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao in Shangyin Academy.

It is not about asking two people to clean up the mess of the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, but what is needed is a leader who can stand up and reorganize everything after the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are destroyed.

It is easy to destroy and difficult to build.

With the power Yang Zhao currently has, it is actually very easy to destroy the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The difficult part is the reorganization after destroying the three religions.

After all, in this era, the court's rule in all aspects cannot be separated from the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. If they are destroyed and cannot be reorganized, they will become a source of disaster and be used by people with ulterior motives.

Zhang Fuyao lived for eight hundred years, and had disciples and friends all over the world.

Only such people can stand up and lead the followers of the three religions to stand up again after Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have been defeated.

If many things are not explained clearly to Zhang Fuyao, the reconstruction will become very troublesome later.

Yang Zhao stayed in Shangyin Academy for two days.

Zhao Pu returned to the Imperial Mausoleum to take charge, and Zhang Fuyao also agreed to Yang Zhao's plan.

After Yang Zhao left, Zhang Fuyao, who had not taught for decades, finally resumed teaching in Shangyin Academy at the repeated requests of Xie Guanying, the head of the Xie family in the northern border.

For a time, countless people in the entire Song Dynasty were delighted and rushed to the Shangyin Academy in the northern border.

After Zhang Fuyao came back to power, he was able to select a group of backbone talents to rebuild the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in a very short time.

Even Zhang Fuyao would not set foot in the court.

Xie Guanying could also take over as the second-in-command in the reconstruction plan of the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

At this time, Yang Zhao, bringing Nangong Pushe, left the northern border, rode on a golden eagle, and arrived in Qingzhou quietly.

The Lu family of Qingzhou is a wealthy family.

When Yang Zhao brought Nangong Pushe in, the entire Lu family was filled with blood, brutality and cruelty.

The entire Lu family has hundreds of direct descendants and nearly a thousand collateral branches.

Almost within a single day, they were all confined in this luxurious mansion and slaughtered like pigs.

Lu's backyard, the master's courtyard.

When Yang Zhao and Nangong Pushe walked into the courtyard full of pavilions and towers, they saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and disheveled hair, with a group of family members, kneeling neatly in the middle of the courtyard.

In addition, Lu Chengyan, who was supposed to stay in Bian Jing, was also kneeling beside him with a sad face and a dazed expression.

"Sir, all the members of the Lu family have been captured and taken to the main residence of the Lu family. Only the head of the Lu family is left."

"Master, the remaining people associated with the Qingzhou Lu family have all been controlled by us and are waiting for their fate."

"Master, the patrol camp outside Linzi City has been captured. General Yue and General Wang have also brought their men here. They can enter the city at any time."

"Sir, the Linzi State Defense Temple has been built, and all matters are ready..."

In the courtyard, Jiuyou Old Monster and Wei Yixiao seemed to be competing for credit. They talked one after another and soon told each other the situation in Qingzhou.

Yang Zhao waved his hand, asked the two men to retreat, and brought Nangong Pushe to Lu Chengyan.

A tall figure loomed over the dazed Lu Chengyan.

Lu Chengyan felt a darkness in front of his eyes before he came back to his senses. He looked up at Yang Zhao with bloodshot eyes.

Then, endless resentment flashed across Lu Chengyan's eyes. He pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed it towards Yang Zhao like lightning.

Just when the dagger was about to pierce Yang Zhao.

Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in the air like an antelope's horn, grabbed Lu Chengyan's wrist, and with a little force, knocked the dagger out of his hand.

Lu Chengyan felt pain and looked towards his wrist, and soon saw Nangong Pushe who looked a little reluctant.

In an instant, Lu Chengyan came over with a look of disbelief on his face.

After being stunned for a long time, Lu Chengyan wailed like a cuckoo crying blood: "Nangong Pushe, why, why did you betray us?"

At this moment, Lu Chengyan no longer had the noble and quiet demeanor she once had, and now looked like a weeping female ghost.

Nangong Pushe showed reluctance and reduced the strength in his hands slightly.

But at this moment, Nangong Pushe suddenly caught a glimpse of Yang Zhao who seemed to be smiling beside him.

In an instant, Nangong Pushe felt as if a bolt of lightning struck in his mind. He quickly gathered his thoughts, showed a fierce look on his face, and slapped Lu Chengyan with his backhand, causing him to spit blood on the spot.

After doing all this.

Nangong Pushe just came behind Yang Zhao and whispered, "Sir, Nangong has lost his composure. Please punish him."

Yang Zhao smiled, reached out to help Nangong Pushe gather up a mess of hair, and said, "It's not wrong to feel sorry for one's own kind."

"Next time, be quicker. There's nothing to say to someone who doesn't repent."

As he was speaking, Yang Zhao casually shot out a sword energy, piercing Lu Chengyan's forehead.

The Lu family of Qingzhou had already made up their minds to join Beiliang.

Lu Chengyan had already been engaged to the Prince of Beiliang, and was the Prince's principal wife.

In this situation, every member of the Qingzhou Lu family is worth saving.

After dealing with Lu Chengyan.

Yang Zhao just looked at the extremely sad Patriarch Lu, and after taking a look at him, he also felt quite bored, so he said directly: "Bat King, lead the way, we will go to the State Guardian Temple to do business."

"Let Ah Jiu handle the matter here. After dealing with these Confucian rats in Linzi City, notify Yue Fei and Wang Gui to assemble the army and surround the Confucius Mansion."

Soon, Yang Zhao and Nangong Pushe came.

Under the leadership of Wei Yixiao, they left the Lu family's ancestral home, crossed a street under martial law, and headed for the newly built national temple in Linzi City.

This time I will search for the dragon's eyes, open up the dark land of Qingzhou, and connect Bianjing and the dark world dragon court in the northern border.

at the same time.

Throughout the city of Linzi, among some wealthy and powerful families, such as the Cui family and the Gao family, there were also monstrous killings taking place constantly.

The old monster Jiuyou was Cai Jing's former subordinate in Japan, and was the number one player used to kill people and rob houses.

Now he has returned to his old business and started slaughtering the wealthy and powerful families in Linzi. He is very familiar with the art and does it quite easily.

And when the old monster Jiuyou was slaughtering the entire city.

Yue Fei, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, quickly led the Yue Family Army he had built and marched towards the Kong family outside Linzi City after receiving the order.

Chapter 263: Troops Arrive at Confucius Mansion

Different from the Qingzhou Lu, Gao, Cui and other families.

The Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou is a unique existence. With more than 3,000 members, the clan members do not live in Linzi City, but have built an enormous manor outside Linzi City.

To be precise, this is a manor-style town.

In this manor, there are more than 20,000 servants, maids, farmers, etc.

When Yue Fei led his 20,000 soldiers to the outside of the Confucius Mansion, some people in the Confucius Mansion had already received the news long ago. They brought servants equipped with swords and armor and blocked the entire gate tightly.

"General, it seems that the Kong family is really going to rebel. Do you want to attack them?"

"General, I am willing to be the vanguard and capture this bird from the Confucius Mansion."

"You can't, General. For this charge, you should use me, Gao Chong. I can smash this iron gate with just one charge."

"Bullshit, you Gao Chong can do it, but I Yang Zaixing can't? What kind of logic is that? The general uses me..."

In a sense, the Yue Family Army, like the Five Elements Flag, was a private army under Yang Zhao, supported entirely by Yang Zhao himself, and was not part of the official military sequence of the Song Dynasty.

But because of Yang Zhao's special status in the Song Dynasty, Yue's army can be regarded as the Song Dynasty's own people.

As early as when Yang Zhao asked Yue Fei to establish the Yue Family Army, the older generation of military generals in the city of Bianliang had already stuffed their own descendants into this army.

Gao Chong was the great-nephew of Gao Huaide, King of Dongping.

Yang Zaixing is the most outstanding descendant of the Tianbo Yang family's side branch.

Both of them are top-level warriors who were born with celestial bodies. They also learned the extremely powerful and masculine skills such as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and the Nine Yang Divine Art passed down by Yang Zhao. Each of them is like a bulldozer on the battlefield.

Yue Fei also liked these two young generals who were particularly direct and combative.

However, the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou at the moment was not the opponents that Yue Fei encountered when he usually swept through mountain bandits and patrolled the northern border, and he could not just rush up and attack them.

Not to mention whether there are any other trump cards in the Kong Mansion besides Kong Pingzhong, the Confucian martial saint.

Just because of the title of being the descendant of Confucius, one cannot use force against the people in the Confucius Mansion unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if one is not careful, they will be despised by scholars all over the world.

Just comfort Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing.
