The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 240 Awesome, Lightning Strike

Weiyang Palace, Thousand-step Corridor.

This is a Langfang in the harem, used for royal banquets.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not receive the group of old Confucian scholars from Shandong formally, but held a family banquet to receive the group of old Confucian scholars.

Many bureaucrats came to Qianbulang today, including Dong Zhongshu, Zhuang Qingzhai, Sang Hongyang, Dongfang Shuo and others.

Weining came relatively late.

When they entered the crowd, they could already hear these old Confucian scholars from Shandong criticizing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there have been heavy snowfalls in Shandong for days and the people are in dire straits. This is a sign of God's sin!"

"There are frequent severe thunders in Chang'an in the winter. This is also to express the grievances of the people. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to inform the world and take responsibility for the people. This is the act of a wise king."

Wei Qing and Wei Ning had a good discussion, and these old scholars from Shandong really used natural disasters to make a fuss.

Looking around, I saw that the old scholars had white beards, spoke righteously, their mouths were like lotus flowers, their eyes were firm, and they looked at death as if they were home.

He didn't seem to care at all about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's frown.

The angrier Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, the happier they were.

If you have the ability, kill us and help us.

They knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not dare, so they were so presumptuous.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried his best to suppress his anger and comfort the group of old Confucian scholars in Shandong, saying: "I have understood the suffering of the people in Shandong. The blizzard is really a sign of the sky. I have asked the Prime Minister's Office to seize the time to provide disaster relief."

Zhuang Qingzhai also came out and said: "Elders, the imperial court has prepared disaster relief measures, and supplies and troops will enter Shandong soon."

The group of Shandong old scholars snorted, looked displeased, and said indifferently: "Don't change the subject. The heavy snow falling in the sky is an unethical act by Your Majesty and is provoking God."

"My eleventh grandson of Confucius was brutally murdered at the city gate, which aroused the anger of heaven and the people. God punished His Majesty, and he was actually calling for injustice for Kong Anguo."

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to punish yourself, so as to appease the common people and benefit all people in Shandong."

Apologize to Kong Anguo, give justice to the Kong family, punish yourself, and admit your mistakes!

This group of old Confucians in Shandong were aggressive towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The bureaucrats also looked helpless, and they all looked carefully at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who could go crazy at any time, fearing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would kill them all if he couldn't hold back.

This group of people are really not afraid of death, but indeed, if they really want to die in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, their wishes will be fulfilled.

The snowstorm in Shandong has already caused the imperial court to suffer a lot, but you still want to come over and cause chaos to the imperial court. Isn't this a failure of success and failure of disaster?

Besides, didn't you Kong Anguo do evil things first and then be punished?

You guys don’t even mention these things!

Some old Confucians with fierce speeches even climbed to the top of the Thousand Steps Corridor, pointed at the sky, and shouted loudly: "If we are wrong, please ask God to send thunder to strike us to death!"

"If we are not wrong, your Majesty, please punish me and issue an edict!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked helpless, angry and angry, and said sternly to the imperial guards around him: "What are you doing standing here?"

"Go get the people down!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't explain it if he really fell to his death on it.

These bitches are simply unreasonable!

"do not come!"

The old scholars pointed at the Imperial Guards and said, "We'll stand here! Let's see if the thunder from the sky can hit me!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the crowd, "I'm really beaten to death. It won't sound good if you spread the news. Doesn't this mean that you Confucius School is wrong? You'd better come down."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Ning speechlessly.

All the officials were helpless, thinking that they did it on purpose, no one could see it, and it would be easy to kill them if they really wanted to, but the probability was too small.

The group of old scholars looked at Wei Ning and were filled with anger, saying: "How presumptuous!"

"We are the words of justice!"

Wei Ning: "..."

He thought for a while and quietly withdrew from the crowd. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head helplessly, thinking that this boy had seen the situation clearly this time and did not stand out, which was a good thing.

Not long after, Weining quietly came to the back of the Qianbu Corridor and hung up the tied iron spear bit by bit.

The spear pointed at the sky, and the sky was gloomy.

Wei Ning kindly warned several scholars and said: "Everyone, please hold on to the heights above, don't accidentally fall down, the wind is strong."

The old scholars glanced at Wei Ning and snorted, thinking you have some conscience.

One thing to say is that it is indeed a bit high up there. If you really fall down, you might really die. No one wants to die like this.

This kid is very good, and he also knows how to find something to support them.

Of course, they had no idea that the seemingly harmless boy in front of them was Wei Ning.

If they had known, they would definitely not have held on to the iron spear.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Weining with some displeasure and thought, why are you still helping them?

Let them fall to death.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also knew that Wei Ning was right to do what he did. If this group of people were to fall to death in an accident, then he, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, really didn't know how to explain it to the people in the world.

Dong Zhongshu and others also nodded slightly, thinking that Wei Ning had grown up and understood the importance.

Wei Ning looked at the sky and said to these old scholars: "It's about to thunder. Come down and talk."

"No!"

Wei Ning was still persuading, "Come down, it's quite dangerous up there."

Several old scholars sneered: "We have done nothing wrong! How can we be afraid of lightning?"

"Boy, we know you have good intentions and want us to go down, but no one can persuade you today!"

"Your Majesty! Please issue an edict to punish yourself!"

Wei Ning had no choice but to retreat to the side of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty angrily and said: "Your Majesty, I have tried my best, and the rest depends on luck."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "?"

What do you mean?

What is he saying?

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the sky, thunder and lightning, and the lightning struck towards the spear that was raised toward the sky!

Click!

The spear caught all the lightning.

Wei Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the lightning rod worked.

boom!

There was another loud noise, and all the old scholars holding the spears were struck by lightning without any bias. They fell heavily to the ground, and their bodies were turned into black coal. They were motionless and completely dead.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty widened his eyes and looked at Wei Ning in disbelief.

What did you just do?

Before he could ask, Weining jumped out and said, "Oh my God!"

"Didn't they just say that if they did something wrong, Tianlei would punish them?"

"This, this, this...what's going on?"

It didn't matter if Weining didn't say anything. After saying this, the onlookers were also stunned, and then suddenly understood.

This shows that they were wrong!

The few old scholars standing below were still frightened. It was so dangerous. Fortunately, they didn't go up. How could they be struck by lightning?

and many more!

The next moment, the expressions of these old scholars all changed drastically. What's worse, they were slapped in the face by what they said!

It doesn't matter if a few old guys die. Everyone who came today has the idea of ​​​​sacrifice their lives for righteousness. As long as the death is worth it, it doesn't matter.

But it’s not worth it!

Moreover, it was reversely verified that Confucius was wrong and that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not wrong. Wasn't this giving Emperor Wu of the Han his life?

hiss!

All the old scholars gasped, their faces fluctuated, their mouth corners twitched violently, and they looked hopeless.
