"Hurry up and have the people from the Western Factory prepare. As soon as daybreak comes, go and capture the Barbarian Kingdom's envoys. Take Du Ruofu with you!"
"Don't give them any reasons."
"The consequences of this matter are extremely serious. Naturally, the emperor will punish them, even the envoys from the Barbarian Kingdom are no exception."
"Using this opportunity, Du Ruofu will definitely run away. Then, you and the Imperial Palace masters will attack together. Two Grandmasters should be able to defeat him, right?"
Ye Jiajia whispered, "It's actually quite risky. Even Grandmasters have their differences. Besides, no one knows what other abilities Du Ruofu possesses."
“Besides, if you don’t understand those of us who learn martial arts, especially martial arts masters, it would be extremely difficult to kill a master like this Grandmaster!
Even if they have their last breath, they can survive."
"Ah? Is he really that strong?!"
Lu Yun suddenly felt that his decision was not particularly right.
But they couldn't care less. If Du Ruofu really ran away, he would be under their control.
Soon, in the morning, Liang Jing and the people in the court received the news.
The people from the Western Factory went directly to the Honglu Temple without any hesitation.
They surrounded the entire yamen, then rushed in and captured the big men from the Barbarian Country.
As for Du Ruofu, he was also awakened, but he was just an ordinary scholar now, not a great master, so he still pretended to be weak.
Seeing them being arrested, Du Ruofu shouted angrily: "What do you want to do!"
"Who told you to do this?"
"We are envoys from a barbarian country. Haven't you heard that when two countries are at war, envoys should not be killed?"
"Let him go quickly!"
At this time, Lu Yun came out from behind and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh, Du Shoufu, could you not be so excited?"
"Don't listen to my final words. It was your people who destroyed the Confucius Temple in our Great Zhou. Not only did they set it on fire, they also smashed all the statues of Confucius into pieces."
"You're also a scholar. Do you know how serious the consequences of destroying the Confucius Temple are? So you think we shouldn't arrest them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Ruofu froze in place.
What is going on!
These people are so bold that they even smashed the Confucius Temple into such a mess.
If it is really as Lu Yun said, then this matter is much more serious.
He really couldn't do anything!
Thinking of this, Du Ruofu suddenly felt a little nervous because he came here to negotiate.
As a result, the conditions could not be negotiated and they were likely to be left here.
"Really!"
"I want to ask you this, is it true?" Du Rhofu shouted nervously and excitedly.
He looked at the barbarian men beside him. Each of them was a master.
However, the Western Factory had a large number of people, and no matter how skilled they were, they could not escape.
"We were drunk last night. Really drunk."
"That's why this happened. We didn't do it on purpose. I remember someone said something..."
Lu Yun suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Could this be talking about him? He absolutely could not admit it.
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. There was a eunuch who mentioned something like the Confucius Temple when we were drunk.
We were excited, drunk, and confused, so we did this!"
Eunuch!
Du Ruofu looked at Lu Yun standing aside and asked coldly, "Could this matter have anything to do with you, Eunuch Lu?"
"Eunuch Lu, could it be that you are the one instigating these people under my command? After all, from what I know about you, I'm afraid you are really capable of doing such a thing!"
Lu Yun was instantly embarrassed and said angrily, "What nonsense is this guy talking about? How could I possibly instigate your men behind your back?"
"Besides, even if I instigated it, they didn't do it themselves, and they destroyed the Confucius Temple themselves!"
"Don't say he was drunk or something. Such a thing doesn't exist. Please don't talk nonsense."
"Come here! Take them to the Western Factory and interrogate them severely!"
"This matter still needs His Majesty's ruling! Just wait."
Lu Yun also spoke arrogantly, but he was actually very panicked in his heart. After all, Du Ruofu in front of him was a grandmaster.
If this guy couldn't help but want to do something to himself, there would be no way to solve the problem.
Soon, in the court.
Many civil and military officials also received the news and learned that the Confucius Temple was smashed and burned, and even the statue of Confucius was smashed by the barbarians.
They were all very indignant. They all claimed to be students of Confucius and had great respect for the Confucius Temple.
But now, even the statue of Confucius has been smashed, and the Confucius Temple has been messed up. You know, this Confucius Temple has existed for quite some time in their Great Zhou.
Even Yang Zhong was very angry and shouted, "Damn it!"
"hateful!"
"Why is it like this?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter cannot wait any longer, nor can we discuss it with them!
This is impossible. They are using our Great Zhou's benefits to expand their power and let their Spring and Autumn Dreams come true! "
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since they have destroyed the Confucius Temple, burned it down, and even smashed the statue of Confucius, I think it would be better to arrest them and execute them!"
"ah?"
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this was the plan Xiao Yunzi had mentioned, which was to let this group of people destroy the Confucius Temple!
Aren't there other options? Why did he choose this one?
In his heart, Liang Jing even felt that Xiao Yunzi had done this on purpose. Maybe he couldn't stand these scholars and the Confucius Temple!
So that's why you want to destroy the Confucius Temple?
"Ahem, I also deeply detest this matter. How is the Confucius Temple now? Has it been burned down?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's horrible. You can't even see the head of Confucius' statue. Where did it go?"
"The Confucius Temple has been burned down. Those scholars tried their best to solve the problem last night."
“…”
Then the Right Prime Minister Wang An also explained: "Your Majesty, I also believe that this matter is absolutely intolerable. This is a provocation to our Great Zhou!"
"The Confucius Temple was burned down, and the statue of Confucius was smashed! This shows they did it on purpose. Even if they were drunk, so what?"
"I think Du Ruofu can't escape this matter! He is the Prime Minister of the Barbarian Kingdom. This matter is definitely related to him."
"Maybe he was the one behind this!"
"Yes, sire! It must be so."
