Lin Fan's words were so sonorous and powerful that anyone who heard them would be shocked. These great scholars were also horrified in their hearts.
The purpose of their coming here was to convince Lin Fan, but they didn't expect that Lin Fan's words, every word, would convince them all.
"This! You're so good, Lin Fan! You are really sharp-tongued. A few of us can't defeat you, but we can make everyone in the world spurn you!"
"Haha! We are the role models for scholars in the world. We are fully aware of the efforts made by those who study. They have endured so much hardship. Do they just have to do hard work?"
The great Confucians rebuked angrily.
"Haha! What's wrong with working hard?
Emperor Taizu was still a beggar back then, do you think that after studying for a few years, he will be nobler than Emperor Taizu?"
"Hmph! Just now I was holding back to give you face, are you still going to slap me in the face?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
In an instant, Lin Fan's aura burst out. These great scholars were so frightened that they trembled and sat there without daring to speak. They actually felt the aura of a superior person from Lin Fan's body.
hiss!
For a moment, several people gasped. With such an aura of superiority, His Majesty today is not so powerful. Is this Lin Fan really the most suitable successor to the throne?
pity!
He is not the prince of the current dynasty, but the illegitimate son of His Majesty. If the Ming Dynasty's country and country are handed over to him, disaster will inevitably happen.
"Alas! Lin Fan, do you know what the people of the Ming Dynasty are going through just because of you?"
A great scholar said sadly.
"Haha! Because of me, the common people of the Ming Dynasty have lived a stable life. I expel the slaves, expel the Turks, and seek welfare for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Is it wrong?"
"On the contrary, it's you people who have been stopping me. You scholars, you think you are superior to others and ignore the interests of the people, just for yourself!"
"The reason why I want to be the crown prince is so that I can have the power to change everything in the future. If I can do it as an ordinary official, I don't have to fight for the crown prince."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
Then, he looked at these scholars and said coldly: "Furthermore, do you really think it is necessary for me to fight for the throne that is easily available to me?"
hiss!
How could these great scholars not hear what Lin Fan said? This was Chi Guoguo's threat. He was telling them that as long as Lin Fan wanted to, he could become the emperor.
"Haha! Okay! You're good Lin Fan, you really have the intention to rebel!"
A great scholar said with a sneer.
"Haha! Okay! I think you guys just want to rebel. What you just said is disobedient to His Majesty, and you keep saying that you want me to assist His Highness the Third Prince."
"Your Majesty is not dead yet, and you have already found a successor to the throne for the Ming Dynasty. You are really good!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
kindness!
Several great scholars were stunned. Lin Fan actually bit them back.
"Haha! We won't talk to you about farmyard fertilizer anymore. As long as you don't act like this prince, we can forget about it and let this matter go away."
A great scholar sneered.
"I think you should continue to pursue the case. If you can get those scholars to leave the farm fertilizer factory, I will not hire them again."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"You! Do you know etiquette, justice and shame?"
"We didn't say many things too directly. You are just an illegitimate son and a shame to our Ming Dynasty. If you become the prince, how will the people in the world view the court?"
"Have you ever thought about His Majesty?
Your Majesty has always been diligent and caring for the people, and has a very high status in the hearts of the people. As soon as this incident came out, the people started talking about it!"
"After a hundred years, your Majesty will definitely be called a coward! If you still consider your Majesty as your father, don't be the prince!"
The great Confucians began to kidnap people morally.
Lin Fan said: "As long as I work hard to change the status quo of society and let the people live a good life, not only will they not insult Your Majesty, but they will praise you."
"No matter what you say today, you can't change me, give up."
"You! Let me tell you the truth, just because His Majesty wanted to make you the prince, which messed up the moral code, God was angry and punished you. There has been a severe drought in Shandong for more than a month!"
"Officials in Shandong have been suppressing this matter. The people have not harvested any grains of grain in the fields. Next, they will inevitably face a food shortage!"
"I know you ordered a large amount of food from overseas, but can that food support the next food shortage?
Shandong has a population of tens of millions!"
"We only ask that you can comply with God's will and give up the position of prince. In this way, the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor will hold sacrifices and appeal to heaven to ask for rain to save the people of Shandong!"
The great scholar said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan was speechless. These old guys were quite insidious. It was only reported in the past two days that they had done something to the crown prince. They blamed themselves for what happened a month ago.
"Haha! You all know about this, but I don't. It seems that the officials in Shandong trust you, and they don't trust me, the Emperor Wuhou!"
"Lin Fu! Come here!"
Lin Fan sneered.
Lin Fu hurried over and said, "Master, the hot and sour potato shreds are almost ready. Do you have any other instructions?"
"This is my token. Take this token to the White Tiger Division and ask the White Tiger Division's Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate the officials of various ministries in Shandong. If there is a severe drought in Shandong and those who conceal it and fail to report it, all the nine tribes will be punished!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Yes! Master!"
After Lin Fu said this, he took the token and left in a hurry.
Shandong is a place where aristocratic families gather, and many great scholars in the court came from there. Therefore, the court gave Shandong many privileges.
The Shi clan in Shandong pay taxes on par with those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They are the wealthy clans who do not turn over their grain.
Today I just took advantage of this opportunity to give it a serious beating.
"Lin Fan! You are so presumptuous! You want to kill so many officials just because of this trivial matter. Where is your conscience?"
A great scholar reprimanded angrily.
Lin Fan said coldly: "You should tell the people who are starving to death. If those officials report it in the morning, the court can make preparations in advance!"
"They concealed their wealth and refused to report it. It's been a month. Is it still too late for the court to collect food?"
"Because they are selfish and don't know how many people will starve to death. You tell them whether they should be killed or not!"
you!
The great scholars stared at Lin Fan angrily, but they didn't know how to refute. In this matter, they were wrong.
However, His Majesty would have given in to them, but Lin Fan didn't give them any face. He would kill officials whenever he asked, and he didn't have a good face when facing them.
