Chapter 449 Emperor Dayun returns to Beijing!

Yao Guangxiao quickly walked into the Yamen of Dali Temple, surrounded by a group of masters serving in the imperial court and generals of the imperial army.

Di Renjie, who had just entered the cell and received the news, hurriedly walked out of the cell to greet him and saluted:

"I've met the Marquis!"

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he nodded solemnly and said:

"Did you tell me anything?"

When Di Renjie heard this, he quickly said:

"The lower official has already used a strategy to make the two of them panic. He also proactively promised that the matter would only be pursued on the two of them, and would no longer investigate the legalists and famous scholars. Ji Fang and Gongsun Song then

He took the initiative to tell everything he knew."

As he spoke, Di Renjie handed the file he had just compiled and recorded in front of Yao Guangxiao.

"It's just my lord, what happened to these two people is not enough to determine Shi Mingzhe's guilt! If this is just based on these, there must be ways for Confucianism to evade..."

Shi Mingzhe, Ji Fang, and Gongsun Song only had a cooperative relationship with each other, and the connection was not very close. Shi Mingzhe was obviously prepared for the fact that Shi Mingzhe was unable to persist with the two of them.

Any conclusive evidence that could prove that Shi Mingzhe was involved in planning the assassination was never made known to the two of them.

Yao Guangxiao listened to this, took a deep breath, looked calmly, and said in a concentrated voice:

"It doesn't matter, this isn't important anyway..."

Speaking of this, Yao Guangxiao said again:

"Take me with you to meet with Master Mingzhe!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie quickly led Yao Guangxiao to see his teacher Mingzhe.

In the cell, Shi Mingzhe was sitting on the cushions. Seeing the arrival of Yao Guangxiao and Di Renjie, he once again acted calm and calm, which gave people an unfathomable feeling, which was very bluffing.

"Hello, Marquis of Changzhou, you are well!" Shi Mingzhe picked up the teacup, raised his hand to Yao Guangxiao, and said with a chuckle.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Shi Mingzhe in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:

"Congratulations, Master Si Ye, the plan has come true!"

When Shi Mingzhe heard this, he curled up his lips and showed a proud smile. He pointed to the window in the cell and said:

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for informing me, but I have already heard the movement outside just now."

Yao Guangxiao nodded, looked at Shi Mingzhe again, nodded in praise:

"Good idea!"

"hehe……"

After finishing this conversation, Yao Guangxiao did not speak again, but turned and left.

When Shi Mingzhe saw Yao Guangxiao turning around and leaving without hesitation, the smile on his face suddenly stopped, revealing a look of surprise.

He originally thought that even if Yao Guangxiao would not choose to surrender immediately for the sake of the stability of Zhongqing City, then he should threaten him again or say some harsh words.

The fact that he turned around and left straight away made him a little surprised.

Seeing Yao Guangxiao leaving like this, Shi Mingzhe became a little impatient and immediately shouted:

"Marquis Changzhou, just left like this?"

Yao Guangxiao paused before leaving, turned around slightly, pondered for a moment, and then turned back again.

When Shi Mingzhe saw Yao Guangxiao returning, his wise smile appeared again on his face.

But before he could speak, he heard Yao Guangxiao say directly:

"I don't want to waste too much time on a dead person! But Shi Siye is very resourceful and resourceful. For people like you, you have to give him some dignity!"

When Shi Mingzhe heard this, his face and body froze, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Master Hou, what does this mean?"

Yao Guangxiao stood outside the cell, looked down at Shi Mingzhe in front of him, and said coldly:

"That's what I meant!"

"I wanted to use a gentler approach before, but Shi Siye and the Confucian disciples in the capital didn't realize it. They actually had the courage to collude with the embroidery envoys of Xia Kingdom... You are seeking death like this. How can I not help you?

?”

At this time, Yao Guangxiao's slightly sinister inverted triangular eyes were full of awe-inspiring murderous intent.

"You think that I will restrain my hands, but you don't know that when I entered the capital before, I had given an order. If anyone attacks the palace, city gates, or disrupts the capital, the soldiers of the army will be killed directly regardless of their identity!"

Hearing this, Shi Mingzhe, who had been able to maintain his calm appearance, suddenly trembled in his heart, widened his eyes, and looked at Yao Guangxiao in disbelief.

"Yao Guangxiao, those in the capital now are all students from Jixia Academy. These people are the pillars of talents among hundreds of schools in the world! They are also Emperor Qin Dayun, who issued edicts to the world and recruited people.

Talents who came here! Do you really have the guts to kill them all?"

"At that time, even if Emperor Yun has great trust in you, he will not blame you. But if he wants to continue to march out of the Central Plains and dominate the world, then he must appease the hearts of hundreds of schools of thought and the hearts of the world's scholars, and he must give an explanation.

come out!"

Shi Mingzhe's biggest reliance now is his Confucian reputation, influence, and the use of many means to make hundreds of schools of thought share the same hatred with him, put pressure on the Yun State, and finally forced the Yun State court to bow its head.

If it arouses the dissatisfaction of hundreds of scholars, the city of Zhongqing will be in turmoil, the prestige and reputation of the Yun Kingdom court, and the benevolent and virtuous orders of Yun Emperor Xiao Cheng will also be completely wiped out!

But if the imperial court of the Yun Kingdom did not care about the influence behind the various schools of thought, then his trump card of being a disciple of Mingzhe would be useless.

Among the two to three thousand disciples of hundreds of schools in Jixia Academy, there are naturally many talents and masters.

But in the end, these people are just ordinary students. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Yun Kingdom forbidden troops in Zhongqing City and the soldiers and horses of the large camps on the outskirts of Beijing, they are nothing more than a delicate disease. It just costs a little money to clean up!

Hearing Shi Mingzhe's shocked voice, Yao Guangxiao sneered and said murderously:

"After entering the capital, you failed to follow His Majesty's will and cut through the mess quickly, which led to your plan to advance to this point. It would be a betrayal of His Majesty's trust. I must not make the same mistake again! Even if His Majesty has to explain something later, I, the Marquis

I will never regret it!”

"Only by killing heads and dripping with blood can the people of your family fully understand the situation!"

As he spoke, Yao Guangxiao's inverted triangular eyes were filled with blood, and his cheekbones twitched slightly, showing his ferociousness. There was no trace of the compassion of a monk.

Shi Mingzhe was a little frightened by Yao Guangxiao's expression. A chill ran down his back, and he immediately remembered that this person had single-handedly concocted the chaos in Jinling City. His ruthless methods were even among the embroidered envoys of the Xia Kingdom.

Keep it secret...

At this time, Shi Mingzhe suddenly stood up and exclaimed:

"It's not like that..."

At this moment, he finally felt fear and panic in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to turn around.

"Isn't it? It's too late! You Confucians dare to spy on the palace, collude with enemy countries, plot evil, and aim to control the court! If you don't punish them severely, how can you deter hundreds of people?"

Having said this, Yao Guangxiao took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and whispered:

"Amitabha! Your majesty's benevolent reputation must not be tarnished, and the court's prestige must not be lost. Then let me, the demon monk Daoyan, bear the responsibility for slaughtering people from hundreds of families."

After saying that, Yao Guangxiao tossed his robe and left quickly surrounded by everyone.

Shi Mingzhe's eyes widened as he looked at Yao Guangxiao's leaving figure. He couldn't say a word. He only showed a complex expression of shock, anger, panic and fear, mixed with regret...

——

At this time, in Zhongqing City.

In panic, the hundreds of disciples who chose to rush out of the Forbidden Army were now hurriedly avoiding the Forbidden Army General who was chasing after them.

Then I heard someone shouting:

"Leave the city quickly, return to the academy, and ask the elders of each school to take charge of the overall situation!"

The hundreds of disciples who broke out of the siege were quite large, numbering in the hundreds.

However, these people come from different schools of thought and do not have a convincing backbone. It is difficult for them to be of one heart and one mind. They cannot even guarantee basic order, and there is no hope that they can resist the pursuit of the Forbidden Army.

Therefore, the best choice at this time is to go to Jixia Academy immediately and ask the elders of each school to take charge of the overall situation.

But immediately, someone else retorted:

"City gate? The city gate has been heavily guarded by the Forbidden Army for a long time. It is impossible to rush out... Each family must have a hidden stronghold in the capital. Only by spreading out and fleeing can there be a chance of survival!"

This is the disadvantage of not having a core. At such a critical moment, we should be united. But when faced with a life-and-death decision, everyone holds their own opinions.

Although they did not waste time arguing, they soon chose to part ways.

Some people rushed towards the city gate, trying to fight their way out of the city. Others fled in all directions, hoping to temporarily hide in the hidden strongholds of various schools to avoid the limelight.

Scholars from all walks of life fled the city in such a desperate manner and made such a big noise, which also made the already extremely tense situation in the capital suddenly become anxious.

The men who had been arranged by Xia Guo's embroidery envoy in advance and who had not yet been captured by Dongchang and Niangan began to cause riots in various places in the city according to the original plan.

In order to force the imperial court to bow its head, people secretly arranged by the Confucian master Mingzhe also started to disrupt the city.

There was sudden chaos everywhere in the capital. Cries for death, begging for mercy, screams, and wails could be heard everywhere.
To be continued...
