637 Dont dare to speak justice, what do you do to the world?
Before that, he had one last question.
Li Yin looked at the old man who was almost begging for death, and asked, "May I ask Taifu, why is he standing here today?"
"For the truth and justice in the world!" Taifu Chu raised his hands upright and bowed to the sky: "Thanks to God's blessing, I, the empress of the pilgrimage book, are still alive! I will lead my troops to Beijing in the near future to attack the treasonous traitor Li Yin!"
Vibrations everywhere.
Li Yin smiled knowingly: "That's it."
He then said that it was impossible for Chu Hui to know about Li Suining's return. It turned out that the enemy was relying on Empress Ming, who was not dead yet.
This is not just a simple revelation.
First, Chu Hui acted as a pawn, destroying his reputation and defeating his popular support. Then, he used the Ming Dynasty as a puppet, cutting off his orthodoxy and cutting off his military power.
What a good plan... He has been planning so far, but one day he will fall into other people's plans.
However, he really doesn't understand...
For a moment, Li Yin's eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion.
At this point, he already knew very well that even if Chu Hui was holding the banner of empress, in the final analysis, the other party's death today was to pave the way for Li Suining to make plans.
If he guessed correctly, the people who would "support" Ming Hou in going to Beijing to crusade against him in the near future would be the Huainan Dao Master and Chang Kuo.
Yu Zeng, Yuchi...their appearance is enough to show that the number of people involved in the layout is very large.
None of them are afraid of death, and there are often people who are not afraid of death. The former Jiedushi of Jiannan Road also obeyed his orders and came to the capital to die, but that was the result of his kindness and power. He promised that the other party would use the sword
The military power of Nandao was handed over to his son, and he told him that he had no choice but to do it for the sake of the great cause...
In the final analysis, all efforts and sacrifices in this world are controlled by life and death interests. This is human nature.
But... what are Chu Hui and the others planning?
What is incomprehensible in this matter is that they are all spontaneously paving the way for a person whose life or death is uncertain...
This layout must be planned in advance, and before that, no one can predict whether Li Suining will return from Beidi... However, these people are still orderly, methodical, calm and thoughtful, and even sacrifice their own lives to spontaneously
She set up such a plan to defeat the enemy!
Just for the sake of a person who can't even guarantee whether he can come back alive, he will die regardless...
Such a meticulous layout, such an untenable motive... so contradictory, the contradiction is unimaginable.
From a rational point of view, such actions that are deviant from the common sense of human nature cannot be predicted and distinguished in advance... Therefore, the change in front of him is extremely ridiculous in Li Yin's view.
He felt that he was being plotted by a group of lunatics.
It wasn't that he wasn't cautious enough, he just didn't expect that those people who seemed to be careful and rational were actually a group of complete lunatics who didn't care about their lives.
He seemed to be a little crazy. Looking at Chu Hui like this... he uncontrollably thought of that ridiculous possibility again.
Li Yin suppressed the absurd and unwilling anger in his heart. He slowly raised his head and looked at the dazzling March spring sun above his head. Even the bright sunlight could not penetrate the darkness in his eyes.
His voice was calm and he asked the chamberlain beside him: "Is the auspicious time coming soon -"
The chamberlain, who was already covered in cold sweat, replied tremblingly: "Go back to Your Highness, there is still... there is still one hour left."
"It's time to go back to Hanyuan Hall and get ready." Li Yin said, "It's not advisable to miss the auspicious time of conferring the seal."
The officials behind him changed their expressions upon hearing this, and felt unbelievable.
Such a big change happened, but he still acted as if nothing had happened... He still went back to the Hanyuan Palace to confer the seal, and continued to ascend the throne? There was no explanation, no response, and he didn't want to pay attention to everyone's doubts and accountability. He wanted to treat it as such.
Didn't anything happen?
"As for the Taifu——" Li Yin seemed to be unaware of the atmosphere around him, and finally looked at the old man beside the sacrificial table, and said calmly: "The Taifu's words and deeds are crazy, and he interfered with the sacrificial ceremony, so he stayed here to pay tribute to the sacrifice.
Ancestors of the Li family, please apologize."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of forbidden soldiers broke through the crowd and stepped forward quickly, holding knives and surrounding the altar.
Seeing the sharp blade, there was a panic everywhere, and someone asked angrily: "... Your Highness, Prince Rong, has admitted the crime pointed out by the Taifu and wants to kill people in public!"
Li Yin looked at the speaker and asked, "If I don't recognize this king, are you willing to believe me?"
Everyone shuddered when they faced those eyes that were still smiling. He was still the same person, but the easy-going and generous temperament around him seemed to have been burned away.
"If you want to impose a crime, why should I care about it? Do you want to delay the main ceremony of the ceremony?" Li Yin said to everyone: "Those who believe in me, please follow me back to Hanyuan Hall. When the ceremony is over, I will give you a
explain."
"You who don't want to believe me -" he smiled slightly and ordered to Han Di, who was standing by his side: "All of them are Chu Hui's accomplices, and they should be dealt with on the spot, so as to set the record straight and apologize to the ancestors of the Li family."
This is his greatest sincerity.
Any more concessions will only embolden the arrogance of these people.
Kindness is no longer useful. What these people need is no longer comfort, but suppression.
He doesn't have that much patience anymore.
Today is his coronation ceremony, and no one or anything can stop him.
Next, he still has many difficult things to deal with. Soon, he will go to see the princess in person - as the emperor.
Following Han Di's order, more and more forbidden troops with swords poured in.
Some members of the Li family reviled with grief and anger: "Li Yin! This is the Imperial Ancestral Temple! Our ancestors are above us. If you dare to kill here, aren't you afraid of being punished by God!"
"How can a traitor be worthy of being the master of the Li family? This crime is not justified by nature!"
Li Yin ignored the angry sounds, scoldings, and lamentations. He turned around, and the last trace of smile disappeared from his face.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't sacrifice this ancestor. The ancestors of the Li family are not worthy of being worshiped by him. It's time for these ancestors to take a good look at who has the final say in this country now - especially his useless emperor.
Brother, and his father who only values eldest and young ones.
"Master...!"
A sharp arrow struck in the direction of the altar. Zhan Mian narrowly avoided it while protecting his teacher. Everyone was frightened and in chaos.
Han Di, who fired the arrow, immediately drew his sword to further intimidate everyone, and shouted with murderous intent: "We are here to eliminate the rebels who are spreading rumors that are causing harm to the country. If the irrelevant people do not want to be accidentally injured, they should leave immediately!"
Seeing that they were really going to kill people here, the expressions of many officials changed again. Amid the panic, some people gathered around the altar to protect Taifu Chu.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Guanlin walked a few steps quickly, blocking Li Yin's steps, raised his hand to salute, and persuaded in a steady voice: "Your Majesty, please think again!"
Li Yin looked at the person in front of him who was trying to dissuade him.
Luo Guanlin said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this is the important place of the Imperial Ancestral Temple! And Taifu Chu is a model for the world's scholars. His words and deeds are worthy of death, but please, Your Majesty, take him into custody first and wait for a thorough investigation before proceeding..."
"If Chu Hui doesn't die, the arrogance of those with different intentions will continue. Where will I go when I ascend the throne today?" Li Yin calmly interrupted Luo Guanlin's words and reminded: "I still want to keep these people for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Will the resurgence continue to pave the way?"
His voice was calm, but not as gentle as in the past, like the coldness of the lake in the middle of winter.
He walked straight past Luo Guanlin, and there was no emotion in his voice: "When everything calms down, I will apologize to my ancestors."
Luo Guanlin stood stiffly in place, raised his head in the confusion, and looked above the altar.
On the altar, the old man with a mourning cloth on his forehead nodded to him almost imperceptibly.
Luo Guanlin's eyes suddenly felt hot and stinging. He still maintained the gesture of saluting. At this time, he extended the salute to the end, then turned around and left resolutely.
In this plan, the end that the Taifu planned for himself was to die.
His death will make the truth more true and the wrong ones even more wrong.
Grand Tutor Chu stood on the altar, looked at Li Yin's leaving figure, and suddenly laughed heartily.
On the third day of the third month of the lunar month, he recommended the heaven and earth to Xuanyuan with his blood. Today is the day when Chu Hui’s great revenge will be avenged!
There are countless celebrities gathered in the capital, and everyone can mourn for him!
A murderer cares about his reputation, so he will destroy his reputation, peel off his skin, break his bones... This is what is called justice!
He exchanged this life for the murderer to be infamous for thousands of years, to be denounced verbally and written for eternity, and to fall into eternal hell!
And his students...
The student he pitied and loved... will step over the corpse of this evil ghost and become the savior of the world!
He wants his students to be safe and sound, without any hindrance, without even a trace of filth, to come to the capital in an upright manner, and to stand cleanly and calmly in front of tens of thousands of people! To become famous kings throughout the ages and to be models for all generations!
As for the murderer, it would be best if he leaves his life intact and watches all of this carefully!
The Imperial Army rushed through the chaotic crowd, and many pampered young members of the clan panicked and fled one after another.
There are also indignant people who curse angrily, and are often forcibly persuaded to leave by those close to them.
Under the escort of a forbidden army, Li Lu slowly left the place and had his wife escorted along with him, who had brought him some unexpected joy today.
The Imperial Guards were driving away the chaotic and screaming crowd.
The Grand Tutor also drove away the many officials who were surrounding him, scolding: "...you are all humble people, and being buried with me is just a waste of time!"
"I seek kindness and be kind! I won't look down upon you just because you are not afraid of dying together!"
"No need to protect me, leave quickly!"
Most of these people are his students. Even if they have not been taught by him, they are often called teachers.
It is enough for him to die alone today, but he must not let these people lose their lives in vain because of a moment of shame, righteous indignation, and intolerance!
"My purpose is to die here! Use my death to teach the world!"
"The purpose of you is to survive! Preserve your life here so that you can become a true gentleman in the future!"
The Taifu lowered his hands and clenched his fists at his side, and shouted loudly: "Let me go, everyone!"
Some officials did not dare to disobey, kowtowed heavily with tears in their eyes, and finally shouted: "Teacher!"
"Let's go." Taifu closed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Living is more difficult than dying. As long as you can survive, you will all be my good students."
This was almost the first time that everyone present heard affirmation from this teacher, but it was based on the premise of saying goodbye to life and death.
They had no choice but to help each other and left, and Zhan Mian was also forcibly taken away. But when the door of the Ancestral Temple was about to close, Zhan Mian struggled to turn around, staggered towards the teacher, and knelt down in front of the teacher, crying.
He kowtowed and said: "...They all obeyed and left. Let the useless students stay with the teacher! The teacher is old, how can the students tolerate the teacher walking alone!"
Taifu Chu was so angry that he refused to argue, and his voice was trembling: "...you idiot!"
Zhan Mian was not the only fool in the mouth of Grand Tutor Chu. There were nearly twenty other members of the clan and officials who also insisted on leaving without compromise.
In addition to them, Yu Zeng, who had been kneeling in front of the altar to plead guilty and claimed to be a sin slave, turned back at this moment, looked at the imperial guards approaching with swords, and slowly stood up.
Inside the Ancestral Temple, blood splattered.
Outside the imperial city, paper was flying like a sky full of paper money covering the capital.
In the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, the sight of scholars and common people has been occupied by the scrolls of printed paper.
No one could tell whose hand it was passed on first. They were still discussing today's enthronement ceremony when they suddenly heard a voice of surprise and suspicion ringing beside them. They all gathered around and saw a stack of paper on which
The handwriting was particularly elegant, so I quickly separated it and looked at it.
Someone might be walking on the street and suddenly someone would stuff a bunch of it into his arms, or he might accidentally find it at the entrance of an alley. The illiterate person would hand it over to the literate person for inspection.
The content and handwriting on each piece of paper are the same, and they should be rubbings from engravings.
Exhibiting it and reading it, just one glance will make one's heart tremble.
This book is actually - "Book of Pursuit of Li Yin's Hundred Sins"!
It lists Li Yin's hundreds of crimes and punishes him...
All the literati gathered together to read together, but no one dared to recite it loudly.
Every crime written on it is shocking to the extreme.
The former crown prince Xiu was originally a woman, and she was the eldest princess of Chongyue, Li Shang, as the world said... The first crown prince Li Shang killed the enemy commander in Beidi. The reason why he killed himself with a sword was actually because he was poisoned by Li Yin!——This
, how is this possible!
Yue Guang, the military governor of Shuofang, and the military governor of Lingnan were both killed by Li Yin's conspiracy...
Duan Shiang's rebellion was indeed instigated by Li Yin...
Xu Zhengye's rebellion also had Li Yin's handiwork...
What’s more, Li Yin’s attempted regicide failed! — failed? The empress is still alive?!
And, colluding with Tibet!——Treason!
Each of these cases is too shocking, and no one dares to believe it. However, the word "Chu Hui" suddenly appears where the signature is written, and there are several seals stamped on it, all of which are Chu Hui's seals!
This "Book of Punishing Li Yin's Hundred Sins"...was actually written by Taifu Chu?!
That old man, Mr. Chu...isn't the situation at this time extremely dangerous!
Many literati and celebrities in the capital came to the capital one after another because they heard the good story about Chu Taifu being moved by Prince Rong. When they read this article, they were all shocked, worried and panicked.
Countless people circulated it spontaneously, and because the scope of dissemination had been planned in advance, it took almost only half an hour for the Hundred Sins Book to spread like heavy snow throughout the entire capital.
When the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was closed, there were already scholars running wildly towards the door where the gate was installed, to see Taifu Chu.
Some people also rushed to the Chu Mansion, and the Imperial Army who went to arrest the Chu family arrived almost at the same time. The appearance of the Imperial Army was equivalent to confirming the authenticity of the Letter of Hundred Sins. The literati were furious, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
There were also those who held this book and went to Dali Temple and the capital government office together to ask for the truth. When officials from various places saw this "Book of Hundred Sins", they were also shocked. They all realized that something big happened today, enough to stab someone.
A world-shattering event!
The Imperial Guards patrolling the city had no idea where those suddenly spreading articles came from. They were always on guard against armed troublemakers, but they never imagined that something unexpected would happen to those people in long gowns, reciting poems and looking forward to a prosperous age.
It broke out among the literati now.
There are literati who are outraged by their words and deeds, but those who are calm or calm also shield each other's propagandists. The imperial army has no way to investigate and take action, but it does not dare to rashly suppress these scribes with blood.
When news of this incident reached Li Yin's ears, he had just arrived outside Hanyuan Hall.
At this point, the official clan following Li Yin was less than half of the original number.
A few people stayed in the Ancestral Temple, but more people were unwilling to die easily, but were unwilling to give in. After they left the Ancestral Temple, they tried to escape from the imperial city, and the Imperial Army was searching and suppressing them everywhere.
All this chaos failed to stop Li Yin, until he heard that the people in the city were in chaos. He stopped for a moment, let out a laugh with incomprehensible emotions in his throat, and then issued two orders.
First, the intellectuals who caused trouble were arrested and thrown into prison. Those who resisted were killed on charges of rebellion.
Secondly, he led a large number of troops to surround the Imperial Academy, where he asked questions and offered wine to Qiao Yang.
To be able to create such a big stir among the literati in such a short period of time, to be able to engrave woodblock prints quietly and privately and to hide such a large amount of paper... it must be the Imperial College and Qiao Yang.
Hearing that force was to be used to suppress the literati, the expressions of some of the remaining officials changed drastically and they all tried to stop him. However, Li Yin ignored them and went straight into Hanyuan Hall.
No matter how much blood is shed, it will eventually dry up. Time and lessons will comfort the world on his behalf as the emperor.
The official in charge of conferring the seal could no longer bear it. After entering the palace, he refused to confer the seal to Li Yin and pay homage. Now the city was full of turmoil. No matter how hard it was suppressed, the news could not be concealed! When the chaos was over,
The person who enters the capital with his master's name in mind and is awarded the seal by the traitor Li Yin will surely be infamy for thousands of years!
Li Yin's expression did not change. Soon, the imperial army entered and dragged the official out.
Li Yin stared at the dragon chair, as if looking at his obsession, and walked towards it without squinting.
The Imperial Guards received the order and began to arrest literati everywhere.
The city fell into chaos and panic, and the people were panic-stricken. The imperial troops who were wearing armor and carrying knives were also panic-stricken. They were not sure whether what they were doing was right or wrong. At this moment, almost everyone in the capital was experiencing what they had experienced seventeen years ago.
The impact that Yu Zeng experienced - the transformation of his "benefactor", had no warning or transition.
Half a day ago, or even only an hour or two ago, the Imperial Guards thought that the benevolent man to whom they were loyal and obedient was about to become a just and wise king.
The literati have prepared splendid poems and songs to add splendor to the ceremony.
At this time, some literati faced the roundup of the Forbidden Army and refused to obey. They climbed up to the high pavilion and threw out the next poems for the new emperor. Then they threw themselves down like those poems, leaving only a loud voice:
A shocking sentence: "... If the master can die, I can die too! I dare not speak out what is fair, what can I do to the world!"
Human blood can be heated.
The former prince was actually a woman. He first went to war to establish the country, and then committed himself to Beidi in exchange for three years of living... He was poisoned and committed suicide, but the truth was only known to the world seventeen years later!
And his master Chu Taifu, in order to prevent the people from continuing to fall into endless military killings, and to end this chaos within the capital, dared to risk his life to expose the truth about the hypocrites stealing the world!
Under the call of these sages, once they heard the truth, they could not turn a blind eye or say a word!
Radical sacrifices are not meaningless. Radicals take two steps forward. Even if they are forced to take one step back, they can still take one step further!
Their blood now can alert more people in front of us and pave the way for those who come after us!
This place today is the battlefield of the writer. It is not only the official who can serve the people of the country, but now is the time to serve!
Scholars began to flock to the city gate, hoping to send the truth out of the capital.
The chaos in the imperial city was not over yet. There were wounded Imperial Guards running around shouting: "... Lu Chong rebelled! He killed General Han! Quick! Go to the direction of Jingfengmen quickly and be sure to intercept and kill him!"
Don’t let him leave the imperial city!”
On the other side, the imperial troops who surrounded Chu's mansion to capture people returned without success.
