Chapter 128 Scholar
Marshal Qin has reported to the court that Lin Qianqian is going to Beizi Country to rescue the people.
Qin Chuan was thinking that Captain Lin was certain and certain that he would not be able to complete the mission this time.
Reporting it to the imperial court was to make more people wait to see Lin Qianqian's joke.
Inside the Xuanwu Hall, after Eunuch An read out the military report sent by Qin Chuan as ordered by Emperor Yan, the entire hall fell silent.
They couldn't believe that someone actually offered to go to Beizi Country.
What is the country of Beizi?
Legend has it that it is a place as terrible as hell, and anyone who goes there will never return.
Because the natural environment of Beizi was too terrible, the consistent policy of the Great Yan Dynasty was never to actively invade Beizi.
However, when the Beizi Kingdom attacks us, we can fight back.
How could anyone dare to go to such a haunted place?
Back then, the Champion Marquis became a fool when he just entered a small part of the border of Beizi Country.
Even the champion marquis who was the bravest among the three armies could not enter Beizi country intact. A woman actually proposed to go to Beizi country to rescue people.
To Prime Minister Wang, this was simply wishful thinking.
Young girls nowadays are really fearless and brave enough to go to dangerous places like Beizi Country.
While it's admirable, it's totally unnecessary.
There is really no need to rescue those women who were given to the northern barbarians.
Even if those women were rescued, they would have no face to live on.
How can I live on without any dignity?
"Your Majesty, I object. The women sent to Beizi are of low status and insignificant. Moreover, they have been touched by Beizi for a long time and have lost their virginity. There is really no need to save them."
"Captain Lin proposed to go to Beizi to rescue people just to show off. Her behavior is extremely irresponsible and will most likely anger the Northern Barbarians, which will inevitably lead to retaliation from Beizi and put Dayan in danger."
Among the hundreds of officials in the Xuanwu Hall, not one stood up to refute Prime Minister Wang.
To them, the country of Beizi is a monster, a dangerous place that they cannot enter.
Zhang Hanyan's father, Zhang Shangshu, did not stand up either. His daughter and Lin Qianhu were as close as sisters, so he did not support Lin Qianhu going to Beizi Country to die.
As for the Emperor of Yan, who had the most decision-making power, he only wanted to preserve the century-old foundation of the Great Yan Dynasty and prevent the Great Yan Dynasty from being destroyed in his hands. He had no ambition or confidence to expand the territory.
Emperor Yan was just about to issue an order to stop Lin Qianqian from going to Beizi Country, when Commander Su of the Imperial City Guards arrived in a hurry.
The voice was urgent, "Your Majesty, it's bad, those students are causing trouble outside the palace again."
To be honest, Emperor Yan doesn't have many things to worry about, and those students are the ones that give him the most headaches.
Because before he inherited the throne, he often heard his teachers teach that he must closely monitor scholars because scholars were the people most likely to destroy the Great Yan Empire.
Emperor Yan rubbed his solar plexus and said in a tired voice, "Commander Su, tell me, what do those students want to do this time?"
"Your Majesty, those students shouted in support of Lin Qianhu's northern expedition, saying that Dayan had been kneeling in front of Beizi for too long and should stand up. Not only should they rescue the people, but they should also stop paying tribute to Beizi and stop sending money and women..."
The more Emperor Yan listened, the uglier his expression became.
These scholars are so annoying, really so annoying.
They actually said that he, the emperor, knelt down to the Beizi Kingdom?
When did he kneel down? It was just a gift of some lowly women and some silver that Dayan could not spend. What was the big deal?
"I am the emperor, the supreme ruler. It is not the turn of these scholars to criticize me. Commander Su, you must take action immediately and put all these scholars in jail."
Commander Su looked embarrassed and lowered his head even more.
"Your Majesty, those scholars are good at speaking and have attracted tens of thousands of people to support them. I, I can't catch them all..."
Emperor Yan was extremely angry. He grabbed the military report sent by Qin Chuan, tore it into pieces, and threw it to the ground.
“It’s really against them.”
Emperor Yan used to think highly of Lin Qianqian. After all, Lin Qianqian helped him solve many problems.
But now, I particularly dislike Lin Qianqian.
Because Lin Qianqian has brought him a lot of trouble and attracted scholars to surround the palace.
They say scholars’ words are deceitful.
No matter which dynasty or country, people are afraid of scholars rebelling because they can deceive the people and conquer the country with just their mouths and pens.
The Emperor of Yan had a look of disdain on his face. "It was scholars who suggested paying tribute to the Northern Kingdom out of fear of death. Now it is still them who want dignity and want to stand up straight. Whatever they say is right is right. They call a deer a horse, and the deer is a horse——"
The reason why Prime Minister Wang can sit firmly on the prime minister's throne is that he is capable. His ability lies in his thick skin and his willingness to flatter others for no reason. No one can match his flattery skills.
"That's right, scholars are the most ruthless. The old saying is right, most of the chivalrous are butchers, and the most ruthless are scholars."
Prime Minister Wang's words were a curse on himself.
He forgot that he was also a scholar and a graduate of the imperial examination system.
After Prime Minister Wang flattered him, officials from his faction also followed suit.
The photo made Emperor Yan look much better.
Emperor Yan has always maintained strict control over scholars.
He had spies in the Imperial College and several famous academies, whether it was the Qingshan Academy or the Taihang Academy.
Because he always remembered that his teacher once told him that to defend the country and Dayan, the most important thing was to control the scholars.
The scholar who is good at deceiving people is most likely to seize the world of Dayan.
Right now, appeasing the scholars is the top priority.
"My dear ministers, follow me to the outside of the palace to find out what is going on."
"Yes, I will obey your majesty's orders."
A group of civil and military officials followed Emperor Yan and walked out of the palace in a mighty procession. They were frightened by the crowd outside the palace gate.
When they came to attend the morning court early in the morning, the palace gate was empty, but now it is packed with people.
There were so many people that it was impossible to get through.
As expected, scholars are the best at deceiving people. It is really terrifying that they have gathered so many people in such a short time.
Emperor Yan stood on the high platform and took a quick look. He felt that there were at least tens of thousands of people surrounding the palace gate.
If the demands of these scholars are not met, the tens of thousands of people may become hundreds of thousands tomorrow.
Emperor Yan took a few deep breaths, and tried to force out a smile. He said to the scholars below the high platform: "You students who care about the country and the people, you are the future pillars of Dayan. Your suggestions are very good. I also agree with Captain Lin going north, deep into the heart of Beizi State, to rescue our people of Dayan. Please rest assured that Dayan will not give up any of its people."
Dayan will not give up any of its citizens. These words echoed in front of the palace gate, making many people excited and cry.
