A massive "riot" by scholars in Yujing ended in such a whimper.
More than half of the thousands of scholars who participated in the sit-in were beaten to death or injured.
The rest, regardless of the severity of their injuries, were all taken to the imperial prison, waiting to be identified and traced.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards were sent out in all directions, confiscating the houses of those who needed to be confiscated, arresting those who needed to be arrested, and dividing the land of those who needed to be divided.
After all, among the students who can study in the major academies in Yujing City, especially the Imperial College, those who come from ordinary families are probably rare.
Li Wei originally thought that such cruel measures of hers would most likely lead to an even more intense backlash from the scholar-official class.
As a result, instead of the expected backlash, a memorial came from the Yanshenggong Mansion in the south.
In his memorial, the Duke of Yansheng of this generation quoted from classics and wrote thousands of words with great eloquence, but his core message was only one:
The term "Son of Heaven" is no longer sufficient to demonstrate the virtue of His Majesty.
From now on, His Majesty the Emperor Dajing should no longer be called "Son of Heaven" but should be respected as "Heavenly Father".
In this case, since Your Majesty is the Heavenly Father...
Then... the great man sent from heaven in Bajing Mountain, the eternal sun of the Dajing Dynasty, the defender of the orthodox teachings, the orthodox inheritor of Confucian culture, the forever great and forever correct empress, her title should naturally rise and be called "Mother of Heaven".
When this memorial was submitted, the whole government was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, the leading figures of various major schools in Gyeonggi Province wrote letters to support the proposal.
They praised the memorial of Duke Yansheng endlessly, saying that Duke Yansheng was worthy of his title, that he was truly far-sighted, insightful, decisive, upright, and upright, like a mountain and a stream...
In short, all words of praise cannot be separated from the word "high".
Therefore, since more than two thousand years ago, the rulers have regarded themselves as "Son of Heaven"; a thousand years ago, during the Zhao Mu Rebellion, a female ruler came to power and usurped the title of "Queen of Heaven".
Today, "Heavenly Father" and "Heavenly Mother" also appeared.
The world has finally turned upside down and become something no one can understand...

Qianyuan Palace, Imperial Study.
Gu Jinzhi silently placed the English plan on the candle, lit it, and then threw it into the brazier next to him.
