The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"But the King of Dian doesn't take you seriously at all."

"You are to stay in the palace, and all matters, big or small, cannot be left to Your Majesty's hands."

"If Your Majesty retreats now, I'm afraid you won't be able to become the Duke of Anle in the future."

"Is it so easy to be a rich man? Your Majesty, what happened to Cao Shuang?"

Zhu Jingli had to admit that Huang Zongxi, Mao Pijiang and others were right.

Even if he admitted defeat.

Will Shu Yichao really let him go?

When he was welcomed into the Southern Capital, was there any imperial procession at all?

They even entered Nandu City in the middle of the night without causing any impact on Nandu.

If it weren't for the sacrifice to the Emperor Xiaoling today, the military and civilians in Nando wouldn't even know that the emperor had visited Nando.

Is it still worth thinking about what Shu Yichao is planning?

You have to give it a try.

With this thought in mind, Zhu Jingli looked anxiously at the approach of the blue-robed scholars.

According to their previous discussion, the scholars would hold the spirit tablet of Emperor Da Meng, the tablet of Confucius and other things in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum to form a broken boot formation, forcing Shu Yichao to retract the previous series of orders.

With so many scholars, if Shu Yichao was afraid of their influence, he would certainly not dare to act rashly.

At that time, he, the emperor, would need to step out and maneuver the situation, giving both sides a way out.

This will be a great test of Zhu Jingli's own operations.

As long as he handles it well, he will become the arbitrator between Shu Yichao and Shilin, and his prestige will be greatly enhanced.

When an emperor has prestige, then naturally countless people will come to him.

By then, Zhu Jingli might be able to regain his imperial power.

Just like that, Zhu Jingli watched with anticipation as the group of blue-robed scholars drew closer and closer...

"stop!!"

At this moment, Sophia shouted loudly.

“Who is coming?!”

Although she looks like a young, beautiful, lively and lovely girl.

But that was only when facing Shu Yichao.

The moment she turned around, Sophia's aura, which had been tempered by many years of battle and officialdom, spread out in an instant.

Everyone in the audience felt their hearts suddenly become heavy, and their whole bodies felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, with an unbearable feeling of suffocation everywhere.

The sharp gaze pierced out like a sword.

Wherever she went, countless scholars avoided Sophia's gaze, not daring to look her in the eye, for fear that her gaze would hurt their eyes.

Even people like Huang Zongxi and Mao Pijiang who had experienced many ups and downs were the same.

The team of blue-clothed scholars came to a standstill again.

But there is one exception!

Yu Mengke, dressed in mourning clothes, walked forward alone, stepping gracefully, completely ignoring Sophia's overwhelming momentum.

Sophia was a little surprised

This seemingly weak woman is not simple.

At this time, Yu Mengke had already knelt on the ground and shouted loudly in a gentle yet firm voice.

"The commoner Yu Mengke."

"I'm here today -

"Sue the King of Dian!!"

Chapter 772 - Weapons of Criticism

Sue the King of Dian?

Sue Shu Yichao?

There was a hint of confusion in Sophia's eyes at this moment.

Even the other civil and military officials had strange expressions on their faces.

No.

Who are you?

Do you know who is in charge of the court now?

Who is it in this court who is suing me?

They didn't understand the meaning of Yu Mengke's actions.

Could it be that this is also a guy who is willing to risk his life just to become famous?

Are they similar to those people who cheated the court staff?

At this moment, Yu Mengke spoke out loudly.

"I am a common woman who is reporting to the Heavenly King that you are destroying the laws of our Celestial Empire and the orthodoxy of the literati."

"The court is filled with utterly audacious individuals who betray their teachers and ancestors. These plant and tree spirits harbor filth and corruption, undermining our orthodox teachings and corrupting the principles of human ethics."

"Thousands of years of rules and regulations have been shattered in one day. The benevolent policies of several generations of emperors have been disregarded. The four virtues and eight moral principles have been lost, and the righteous spirit of the country has been damaged!!"

"To establish so-called academies of science and schools of literature and science, and to criticize and critique the works of sages, is shameless."

"To corrupt the morals of the world and exploit the common people is nothing but righteousness."

"He recruited numerous unruly people and bandits as his minions, showed no respect for scholars, and slaughtered even more gentry than the Jiannu. He was truly heartless."

"Not only did he fail to fulfill his duty as a loyal subject, but he also stole the sacred artifact, which is truly dishonest..."

In short, Yu Mengke quoted various classics and talked endlessly, almost scolding Shu Yichao in front of him.

In her words, Shu Yichao is an ugly person with ulterior motives, no credibility, no shame, no righteousness, no benevolence, and no faith. If he does not mend his ways soon, he will surely suffer a terrible disaster in the future...

She enjoyed scolding him.

But one problem was overlooked.

"Skip, skip." Shu Yichao clicked frantically, for no other reason than that he really couldn't understand these half-understood words.

Better skip it.

But in the eyes of others, the situation before them is a bit subtle.

The young girl in mourning clothes below shouted harsh condemnation one sentence after another, while the handsome young man on the stage looked at her with a half-smile and said nothing.

This scene...

Is it not about becoming famous, but about…

The civil and military officials at the ceremony looked at each other and pretended not to hear.

Yes.

At King Dian’s age, it seems like he should also consider similar issues.

"......" Sophia also became suspicious.

Her sharp eyes moved back and forth on Yu Mengke's body, looking her up and down.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, be filial.

Yu Mengke is already pretty, and now she is wearing white, which makes her look even more gentle, delicate and pure.

That pitiful and pitiful state is truly like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze.

It is like a white lotus standing gracefully among the clear water, full of fragrance, or like a lotus emerging from the water, hazy and yearning, soft and bright.

People who lack concentration will probably be obsessed with it and lose their appetite after just one look.

Even though this girl in mourning clothes is cursing people now, she is still so pleasing to the eye.

So, Sophia's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes dangerous.

"This guy…"

It can't be that the purpose is impure.

She was really wronging Yu Mengke.

Yu Mengke just dressed up subconsciously-

According to past experience, as long as she freshens up a bit, even the most irritable person or the one she doesn't get along with can be talked to in a friendly manner.

The risk of breaking the boot formation this time is obviously very high, so she must be adequately prepared.

Soon, Yu Mengke talked about the part where Shu Yichao angered Qian Qianyi to death.

"What crime has my dear teacher committed to deserve such humiliation from such a scoundrel? What crime has he committed to deserve death, to be humiliated to death, separating us as master and disciple forever?"

"Although I am a weak woman, I have also learned the words of the sages. How can I pretend to be deaf and dumb here?"

At this point, Yu Mengke was already sobbing, tears welling up in her eyes, as if a layer of red rouge had been smeared around her eyes.

"Heaven and Earth are my witnesses. I beg the Imperial Court and the people of the land to make the decision for me!"

After saying this, she bowed down.

I have to say that being good-looking is still a great advantage.

Many people also didn't understand what Yu Mengke was saying, but seeing such a charming beauty crying like this, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

"Why is this girl crying like this?"

"It seems he came to file a complaint and ask the King of Dian to make the decision for him."

"Alas, the king is kind-hearted and will definitely help her..."

After Yu Mengke finished speaking, the other scholars also took action.

Their offensive was to be like the waves of the sea, crashing repeatedly, one wave higher than the other, and they would never give Shu Yichao any chance to breathe.

"Huang Zongxi from Yuyao kowtows to the Heavenly King." Huang Zongxi was the first to step out and kowtow, his face solemn and his expression serious.

"I risk my life to beg the Emperor to abolish the Academy of Sciences and the School of Arts and Sciences."

"Discard useless miscellaneous studies and clarify the orthodoxy of Confucianism!"

"So that the worship of Confucius will not be abolished, and the Chinese Confucian tradition will not be abolished."

“Let the barbarians of the four seas have something to look up to, and let the people of the world have something to turn to!!”

"Please, Your Majesty, abandon miscellaneous studies and clarify the orthodoxy!!" Tens of thousands of blue-clothed scholars behind him shouted in unison.

The words that roared in were like a hurricane blowing through the mountains and forests, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"I, Mao Pijiang, and others come to pay my respects to the Heavenly King." After Huang Zongxi, Mao Pijiang also came out.

"I am not worthy of risking my life to offer advice."

"I beg the Heavenly King to stop seizing the land."

"The Emperor should clearly distinguish between public and private matters. How could he devise pretexts and use imperial laws to seize the private property of the gentry?"

"The Heavenly King has restored the Great Meng Empire and swept away the foul smells of the Divine Land. His achievements will be remembered for eternity and his reputation will endure forever. He should be a role model for the world. How could he violate the laws of the Great Ancestor and tarnish his own reputation?"

"Please, King, stop taking away our land!" There was another thunderous roar.

"The humble Mao Qiling pays homage to the Heavenly King."

"I risk my life to make this appeal, hoping that the Heavenly King will reduce commercial taxes."

"The small profits made by merchants are the livelihoods of the people."

"The king is the pillar of the country and should cherish the people. How can he compete with them for profit?"

"Such heavy taxes have left thousands of families without food and clothing. Hasn't the Heavenly King heard the cries of the people lining the roads?"
