Just as the ministers were extremely angry, Lu Yun walked in. He took a look and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked our Western Factory to arrest those barbarians and Du Ruofu."
"Really?" Liang Jing thought for a moment, then asked, "How do you think this matter will be resolved?"
Lu Yun said with great grief and indignation, "Your Majesty, I am also a scholar and have great respect for the Confucius Temple. But I never thought they would dare to destroy the Confucius Temple and even burn it down."
"When I arrested Du Ruofu just now, he was extremely arrogant and said that this was how it should be."
"It's really infuriating that a scholar like him could say such things, Your Majesty. I think such people should be dragged out and beheaded."
At this time, many ministers in the court also followed suit, and they also felt that what Lu Yun said was very reasonable.
It is indeed necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and kill all the envoys from their barbarian country.
"Your Majesty, what they are doing is nothing more than shitting on the head of our Great Zhou!"
"They were able to destroy the Confucius Temple in our Great Zhou territory, and yet they let them leave safely. If this were to become known to people from other countries, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing?"
"Then they will definitely laugh at our Great Zhou, thinking we are weak and incompetent. When something like this happened, we didn't even dare to solve it. That's truly an insult!"
Hearing this... Liang Jing seemed to be thinking about something. Actually, he was just pretending because they had already planned the specific details.
It’s just that in the court, how to guide these ministers and how to make their emotions become extremely excited?
Now it seems that this trick is indeed very effective, and all of these ministers are very angry.
However, the temple was destroyed suddenly, so it needs to be repaired.
"Since all the ministers have said so, and I am extremely angry, I will take all of them outside the Meridian Gate and behead them!"
"This time, I want the people of the Great Zhou to see clearly what the consequences are of insulting Confucius and the saints!"
"Lu Yun, you will be in charge of this matter. When the execution is carried out, you must not let anyone escape, understand?"
Lu Yun nodded and couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking, how could he not run away.
A great master just ran away, so what else can I do?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the court was dismissed, Lu Yun went to the harem and came to Liang Jing's side.
"Xiao Yunzi, I have to ask you something. Isn't your plan a bit too despicable? The Confucius Temple was directly destroyed.
Although this aroused the anger of the ministers, they all decided to kill these barbarian envoys.
"He really thinks you have other ideas in mind. Why did you choose this one? I'm really curious. You must tell me in detail."
Lu Yun smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to guess my little thoughts. I did it on purpose. I just wanted to destroy the Confucius Temple."
"Why?"
"I can't stand these intellectuals. They're all just Zhihu followers. They can't expand their own thinking."
"It's mainly annoying. They're always like this."
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of Xiao Yunzi's words before. What was the logic behind this? What did it mean to expand one's thinking?
What's wrong with Zhihu users? Isn't this the kind of thing that scholars learn?
Should I learn poetry and literature? Poetry and literature are just other things.
But in the end, scholars still have to study the Four Books and Five Classics and learn Confucius' academic teachings.
Poetry, books, and the like are all necessary, but not necessarily required.
"Alright, I won't ask you about this. Are you sure you can kill Du Ruofu right here?"
"If he, the Prime Minister, dies here, then their Barbarian Country will definitely become extremely weak."
"But if we let him go back, it will definitely cause us more trouble, so Xiao Yunzi, you have to think about this matter carefully."
Lu Yun frowned and explained helplessly, "Your Majesty, I have indeed thought about this matter."
"But... I'm not sure about the Grandmaster."
“…”
At this time, the news of the destruction of the Confucius Temple spread throughout the entire Shangjing City. The behavior of the barbarian envoys also angered many scholars and some ordinary people in the city.
Even some uneducated people may know who Confucius is.
The Confucius Temple is so sacred and solemn, I never thought it would be smashed one day!
"Kill the Barbarian envoys, kill them all!"
"These Huns do nothing but cause trouble for us day after day."
"These Xiongnu are our eternal enemies. We, the people of the Great Zhou, should resist them!"
"When can we kill all these Huns? If not, I, an old man, will also go to the battlefield. I will also charge into the battle and kill all the Huns!"
“…”
Soon, news of the beheading outside the Meridian Gate spread.
There was originally a vegetable market outside the Meridian Gate, and information spread extremely quickly. Soon, this matter became known to everyone.
Many people want to join in the fun and see how the beheading is done.
Soon, the time came.
Du Ruofu and the others were also immediately forced out. They were also very puzzled. Weren't they still being interrogated? Why were they suddenly brought out again?
After arriving at the vegetable market at Wumen, they realized that they were going to be killed!
Too cruel!
It’s so cruel!
how so?
After Du Ruofu was brought here, he immediately saw Lu Yun and shouted angrily, "This shameless eunuch."
"It was you who instigated us, yet now you want us to die. I've figured it out. I, the Prime Minister, have figured it out!"
"This is all your plan, right? You just want me to die here, right?"
Du Ruofu was smart. After his subordinates conveyed the news, he instantly understood that this was most likely a conspiracy.
He also realized that he might be a great threat to the Great Zhou!
So this group of people wanted to kill me to get away with it!
how so?
Lu Yun sneered at this moment, "Don't talk nonsense, don't quibble here. What do you mean by saying that I am instigating you behind your back? It's obviously your own people who want to destroy the Confucius Temple."
"You can't even speak clearly. I really feel sad for you."
"Master Prime Minister, do you have any last words before you leave? Anyway, you can't leave today."
Du Ruofu took a look and was furious. "This matter is not our fault. Let your emperor come out."
