Li Er hit the table with his fist, and the muffled sound echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.
Just listen to Li Er's instructions: "Come here, tell Lang Ji to quickly lead the troops and drive away these students. From now on, I will not be lenient to anyone who brings up the matter of rebuilding the Imperial College."
Not long after, Li Junxian led a heavily armed army towards the entrance of the palace.
More than fifty men armed with weapons marched and surrounded the students.
Li Junxian said in a deep voice: "You will return to the Imperial College as soon as possible to study peacefully. Don't mention the rebuilding of the Imperial College again. If there are still people who have not left after burning the incense, we will not hesitate to kill them."
He thought that this would scare everyone away.
Unexpectedly, instead of being frightened, the students became even more excited.
"Education is the foundation!"
"Education first!"
"Rebuild the Imperial College!"
"Imperial Imperial College!"
"Support Duhe!"
"Duhe, Duhe!"
These guys shouted slogans louder than anyone else.
Facing the spears and swords of the imperial guards, no one even flinched.
Li Junxian saw this and hurriedly sent someone to the palace to report.
Not long after, Li Er came to the scene with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
When the scholars saw this, they stopped shouting slogans and said neatly: "We are the students of the Imperial College, and we sincerely request your Majesty to accept the proposal of the county uncle and rebuild the Imperial College!"
"Rebuild the Imperial College!"
"Rebuild the Imperial College!"
This huge momentum shocked Li Er.
No one would have thought that a group of weak scholars who were considered powerless by everyone could have such explosive power.
When Li Er saw it, his heart became even more troubled.
He is the emperor, he is the monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
He is also the Son of Heaven, ruling the world on behalf of Heaven, and bringing all people back to their hearts.
However, now, a mere group of scholars dare to go against their own ideas.
Li Er was furious, waved his hand and said: "Kill them all by me."
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards drew their weapons and started to take action.
But those scholars were so excited that they didn't know how to be afraid. Instead, they straightened their backs one by one.
"kill!"
Li Junxian gave the order.
Seeing the Imperial Guards raising their weapons, it was a bloody incident.
Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others hurriedly interceded.
But Li Er was determined to scare the monkeys, but no one could do anything.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded in the distance.
"Save someone under the knife!"
Everyone turned around and saw a horse galloping towards them. The man on the horse was none other than Du He.
Du He rushed forward, dismounted from his horse, and shouted: "Your Majesty, save someone under the knife."
With that said, he pulled away the imperial guards and rushed to Li Er.
Du He didn't have time to breathe, so he said: "Your Majesty, these people cannot be killed."
Li Er frowned: "How can we not kill them? These bastards are not allowed to stay in the good Imperial College. They insist on coming here to confuse the public and cause trouble here. Just kill them. How can we not kill them?"
Du He said: "It is true that these scholars were temporarily stupid and angered His Majesty, but the common people said well that Your Majesty loves the people like his own sons. A group of scholars who made mistakes should be allowed to go back and reflect on their mistakes. How can they be killed directly?
Well, if the head is cut off, it will be gone, but it will never grow back."
Li Er pointed at Du He and said angrily: "You Du He, how dare you speak for these ignorant people, aren't you afraid that I will kill you too?"
Du He chuckled: "Your Majesty, you are reluctant to kill me."
"You...you naughty boy, okay, I will give you a chance. If you don't mention rebuilding the Imperial College, I will let these people go. Otherwise, no one of these students will be able to leave alive today.
"Li Eryi shook his sleeves and said.
Du He nodded, turned around, walked towards the students, and said loudly: "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you kneel down and thank your Majesty for not killing him? Then get out of here!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving.
The young man who took the lead said unwillingly: "Uncle Yixian, are you giving up on a century-old plan to build education as the foundation and rebuild the Imperial College?"
Du He said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you give up, or if you don't give up, get out of here and keep grinding. There is no need for General Li's people to do anything. I will personally twist off your heads one by one and use them as chamber pots later!"
The health workers looked at it and left dejectedly.
Du He turned around, came to Li Er, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's done. The child just made a mistake. Just teach him a lesson. There is no need to use a knife or a gun. Today is the fifth day of the seventh lunar month. It is not appropriate to kill people."
When Li Er saw Du He, he felt a little headache and said: "Since you have promised not to mention the rebuilding of the Imperial College, I will not hold those students responsible for their faults."
Du He suddenly looked confused and said, "Did I say I wouldn't rebuild the Imperial College?"
"Du He, don't forget what you just said."
"I never said this sentence from beginning to end. Your Majesty, it's unfair." Du He said innocently.
Seeing this, Li Er flicked his sleeves angrily: "Come here, bring this scoundrel to the imperial study room. When will you reflect on it, when will you leave?"
Immediately two young eunuchs came forward and politely took Du He away.
Li Er originally wanted to summon everyone back to the Tai Chi Hall to continue the court appearance, but suddenly he became upset and announced his withdrawal directly at the entrance of the palace.
On the way back to Tai Chi Hall, Li Er couldn't help but feel depressed.
In fact, he did not intend to kill those scholars from the beginning, but he was sure that this incident was somehow related to Du He, so he pretended to be angry and killed people, forcing Du He to come out, and then he would release these scholars in exchange for Du He.
He no longer mentioned the rebuilding of the Imperial College in order to persuade Du He, because when he asked Du He to serve as the commander of the relief work, he personally agreed to one of Du He's three conditions, which was full trust. At this time, Du He
To rebuild the Imperial College, as an emperor, of course he couldn't refuse it directly and could only adopt this method.
Who knew that everything was being calculated, but Du He's appearance immediately messed it up.
Li Er's mood instantly became worse.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he saw Du He sitting leisurely on a revolving wooden chair with his legs crossed, looking leisurely.
Li Er was furious: "How long has it been since you were here for leisure? Do you know that my treasury is almost empty? Spending money is needed everywhere in the world. There is only so much money in the treasury. If
If I give you another million dollars to rebuild the Imperial College, can we still fight the war in the west?"
Du He stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down and share the emperor's salary. Since I dare to propose rebuilding the Imperial College, there is naturally a solution. Isn't it just a lack of money? Your Majesty, you have no money, but others do."
Money."
"Who has money?"
"Aristocratic family." Du He said lightly.
Li Er was frightened for a moment, "You...are actually plotting against the noble family?"
In the aristocratic family, many times, problems that Li Er did not want to face were brought up by Du He so easily and casually.
