A rather rare scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
Countless books were thrown into the fire and burned.
Many of these books are written by famous scholars, and there are even some classics jointly compiled by several Confucian masters, which contain endless knowledge and wisdom.
But now, just because of Xu Xianchun's words, it was completely destroyed.
"It's so heart-breaking! It's so heart-breaking! Wu Mu and Champion Hou are the gods of the military. Even the generals of the army go to worship them every year. Why should they be destroyed!"
"I'm going to meet the emperor and completely expose the faces of you villains!"
Several great scholars were furious and roared loudly.
For them, books are as precious as life, but now they are abandoned like worn-out shoes by countless dragon guards in golden robes and thrown into the pit of fire. This is simply unbearable.
Xu Xianchun waved his hand impatiently: "It's up to you, a bunch of scholars who only know how to study. What can you do to me even if you sue to heaven?"
However, there are still some rational people who speculate that Xu Xianchun dared to do this because he had received the Xu family's approval.
After all, Wu Mu and Champion Hou in the Middle Ages were key figures who led troops on expeditions and achieved great victories. They could be called military gods.
Lu Yu's performance in many battles abroad was also the same as the two.
The Xu family was worried that someone would sympathize with Lu Yu because of Wu Mu and Champion Hou, which would eventually make Lu Yu's reputation skyrocket.
"Does he think doing this is useful? We are not fools and will be fooled by him like this."
"Keep your voice down, there are people with dragon guards around you."
Under Xu Xianchun's iron fist, thousands of scriptures were burned.
The Confucian monks were completely furious, and letters of impeachment poured into the palace like snowflakes.
However, Zhao Yuanyan never spoke.
It was as if Xu Xianchun's actions had been acquiesced.
A vigorous campaign of burning books and entrapping Confucianism ended quickly, and all the imprisoned students were still not released.
At the same time, a large number of Xu family disciples entered the academy, occupying abundant resources, and some even became chief senior brothers.
At this time, everyone was horrified to discover that the Xu family was entrenched in every corner of the entire Dayu court.
The business world is full of monopoly industries owned by the Xu family.
In the political arena, Xu Tiangang served as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and a large number of Xu family officials were promoted.
In the military world, almost all of the four forbidden armies are controlled by the Xu family, and even key institutions such as the Jinyi Dragon Guard are commanded by members of the Xu family.
Now, the Xu family even wants to get involved in the academic world, and their wolfish ambitions are obvious.
"Who is the traitor?"
"The Xu family's power is overwhelming, but the emperor doesn't know how to restrain it, which will lead to bitter consequences sooner or later."
Some people made suggestions to the emperor, but they were dismissed or ignored.
At this time, Xu Xianchun carried out the next round of actions.
A large number of dragon guards in golden robes rushed into Yuding Academy and arrested the students of the Mainland Party.
Lu Yu once gave lectures at Yuding Academy, and many people were convinced by him and were willing to worship him as their teacher.
In particular, many people have been enlightened by this, and since then their practice has been rapid, and they have made rapid breakthroughs.
In Jade Cauldron Academy, the Lu Party had the largest number of members, so they naturally bore the brunt of the devastating blow from the Jinyi Longwei.
Countless students were arrested and the prison was overcrowded, so they had to be locked up in death row.
The Imperial Capital was shrouded in dark clouds, everyone was in danger, and panic began to spread.
