The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

In this way, one great scholar after another stood up and listed Shu Yichao's policies that were unpopular among the people.

From criticizing the government at the beginning, it gradually turned into criticizing Shu Yichao's personal moral character.

Call him bloodthirsty.

They accused him of not respecting gentlemen but being close to villains, being kind to bandits but harsh to gentry...

There was no way, even though they were in a terrible state after Xian Ting came.

But at least their roots were not dug up.

The enthusiasm for resisting the invasion has passed, and we have to let things take their course.

And every one of Shu Yichao's national policies is destroying their foundation and taking away their fundamental interests.

Taking someone's money is like killing their parents.

Things have come to this point, and naturally the scholars and Shu Yichao are incompatible and cannot coexist.

Unfortunately, their words were still skipped by Shu Yichao as usual.

In the eyes of everyone, this king was just standing there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Could it be that he was speechless and didn't know what to say?

The scholars were overjoyed.

As expected, today's broken boot formation was right!

"What nonsense!" But Shu Yichao's silence did not mean that no one would refute him.

Sophia sneered.

"You talk a lot about morality, but you're full of thieves and whores!"

"What do you mean by Ming Zhengtong? You're just worried that your position will be shaken."

"Against equal distribution of land? Is it because your family has too much land that doesn't pay taxes?"

"He owns thousands of acres of fertile farmland, yet he forcibly seizes the people's livelihood, leaving them starving and cold, and causing the people of the world to suffer."

"Oppose commercial taxes and don't compete with the people for profit? These people are you, right?"

"You guys, don't you think I don't know how many shops you own?"

"Your various shops make exorbitant profits, exceeding tens of millions annually. Yet, when the imperial court is suppressing rebels and providing relief to disaster victims, you donate not a cent."

"I live in luxury, yet I sit by and watch the countryside starve to death."

"They are clearly a bunch of hypocrites, yet they act like they're speaking for the people of the world. Who are they pretending to be so righteous?"

"Of course Tianqi will cherish all the people in this world."

"But you are allowed to wear fine clothes and eat delicious food, to sit under the moonlight and recite poems, while others suffer from hunger and cold, and have to sell their children..."

"Go ahead and dream!"

Sophia refuted them, but the scholars didn't dare look at her and pretended not to hear.

Then Yu Mengke shouted loudly again.

"I, a common woman, am willing to die in order to give you a warning!"

"This is the heart of the scholars and the people of the world!"

"Hope your Majesty, please be vigilant!"

As soon as these words came out, the green-clothed torrent behind her immediately surged forward.

"Students, I am willing to die for your advice!"

"The heart of the scholar is the heart of all the people!"

"Hopefully, Heavenly King, please be vigilant!!"

Countless shouts came one after another.

"King of Heaven." Yu Mengke continued to shout loudly.

"Although I am not talented, I am loyal to the court and the country."

"For the sake of our great nation's eternal security, I, a humble woman, am willing to learn from Wei Zheng's direct admonitions."

"With my frail body and humble words, I warn the Heavenly King."

"The tens of thousands of scholars behind this common woman all have the same wish."

"If the Heavenly King can wake up, I will be happy even if I am cut into pieces."

"I know the might of the Heavenly King's army, and no hero in the world can stop him."

"But he is not strong enough to resist advice."

"Wisdom cannot whitewash wrongdoing."

"Though the Heavenly King's sword is sharp, it cannot silence the world's gossips."

"If I die for justice, my passion and loyalty will be remembered in history."

"I just wonder what kind of image the Heavenly King will leave in history by then."

"We are all willing to be punished by the Heavenly King's knife!"

The green torrent, shouting various slogans, was getting closer and closer.

Zhu Jingli looked at Shu Yichao nervously.

The real purpose is revealed.

I wonder what decision the King of Dian will make?

Is it a compromise, or...

Shu Yichao remained motionless.

Yu Mengke and others below couldn't help but smile.

"Humph."

"The King of Dian still doesn't have the courage to break with the scholars of the world."

If the new imperial examination system were really implemented, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to abandoning Confucianism and the Confucian principles of governing the country.

This is something that no scholar in the world can tolerate.

This means that they have suddenly fallen from the privileged class to the same level as the untouchables of the past.

Oh my god!

The noble Wenquxing is actually equated with the common people. This is extremely treasonous and will destroy the country!

Therefore, for the scholars, this time's Broken Boots Formation was truly a battle for the orthodoxy.

Just as it was written on their banners, to defend the truth with death!

They want to fight Shu Yichao to the death, for their own beliefs, fight to the death!!

Chapter 773 - Criticism of Weapons

Of course, the scholars dared to do this because they did not believe that Shu Yichao would take action.

Don’t look at Shu Yichao killing people everywhere with blood flowing and heads rolling.

But most of those killed were soldiers and barbarians.

But this time, it was the scholar who stood in front of him.

There are tens of thousands of scholars.

What a terrifying force this is.

If Shu Yichao dared to order the army to take action, it would be tantamount to a complete break with the Confucian system.

The world will be in chaos!

The whole world will rise up to attack Shu Yichao!

The scholars, who were well-read in the books of sages, had no doubt about their importance to the court.

Without them to govern the country, wouldn't the imperial court be doomed?

Although the King of Dian was crazy, he would understand this truth.

He will give in.

"It's my turn now." Zhu Jingli saw it clearly from the side.

The scholars refused to give in, and Shu Yichao was in a difficult situation.

Now is the time for the emperor to appear!

"Hmm..." Zhu Jingli coughed twice.

"My dear ministers,

At this moment, Shu Yichao, who had been in a daze just now, seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and his eyes became lively again.

"Oh, is the story over already?"

"Then what happens next..."

【...】

Looking at the scene in front of it, System 12345 panicked.

【hiss】

【Oops.】

[Something seems a little off!!]

[Why are you cursing this strategy target so enthusiastically?!]

Although Yu Mengke looks super cute and touching when she scolds people.

After hearing this, some people would probably feel very happy and would even want Yu Mengke to scold them a few more times.

But the system 12345 knows clearly -

Shu Yichao doesn't like this one!

If it were someone else, perhaps the two would just get to know each other through fighting, and through a sharp verbal battle, both sides would have a deeper understanding of each other.

Later in the subsequent development, they constantly had conflicts and resolved contradictions, and finally became a pair of happy enemies.

In the past, System 12345 might have also been looking forward to such a development.

but………

Now system 12345 has completely given up hope.

Alas, it’s all tears if I talk too much.

[Tsk, this talented girl, can't she just recite poems and write about romance?]

[I'll find a poetry gathering to meet the host, flirt with him a bit, and then I'll be rich and powerful, right?]

【Why do you want to get involved in this kind of thing?】

System 12345 lamented.

But even though things seemed to be in jeopardy, System 12345 decided to try one more time.

No, it should be said that it was a struggle.

[Host, this talented woman...]

[Look at it, it's so beautiful, isn't it a bit of a waste to chop it off with a knife? You might as well]

"That's right." Shu Yichao deeply agreed with what System 12345 said.

"Hehehe!" he said with a grin.

"Knife

“Oh my!”
