I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 361 Scholar Shangguan Yi

Hear this.

Li Zheng smiled.

"Kong Xian, Kong Xian."

"You really think too highly of yourself."

"Do you think they came to see you off? No, they simply wanted to see how you died."

"Confucius? The head of Confucianism?"

"It's ridiculous."

"Are you worthy?"

"Confucianism may be the foundation inherited from ancient times. Loyalty is the first priority and loyalty to the emperor is the foundation. But have you, the Kong family, achieved this?"

"In the name of the so-called leader of Confucianism, your Kong family enjoys the legacy of the sage Confucius. Have you ever followed it in any way?"

Li Zheng sneered and scolded angrily.

Subsequently.

Looking around.

He shouted loudly: "Dear fathers and fellow countrymen, all literati."

"The Confucius family is unfaithful and unjust, and Shi Xiu surrenders to the outside world."

"Are they qualified to be the head of Confucianism? Become the spokesperson of Confucianism?"

The voice fell.

time.

All the scholars around the execution ground were extremely angry.

"The Kong family is not worthy."

"My generation of Confucians puts loyalty to the emperor and patriotism first, but the Confucian family has never followed this for generations. Scholars of our generation have been deceived by the so-called Confucianism."

"Be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Did the Kong family do it?"

"They are not worthy of being the leader of our Confucianism, let alone the spokesperson of Confucianism."

"The Kong family enjoys the blessings of Confucianism, but they have no regard for loyalty."

"To be executed."

"General Li, we all know that you are a hero. You have identified enemies and opened up territories for our Tang Dynasty. Please rest assured, General Li. The people of our generation gathered here today are not to avenge the so-called Kong family, but to avenge the so-called Kong family." I came here specifically to see the collapse of the Kong family and the demise of this unfaithful and unjust family.”

"If General Li had not spoken uprightly, was not afraid of power, and awakened our generation of scholars with the words "Shi Xiu surrender", otherwise, our generation of scholars would have been deceived by the so-called Confucianists, who would have regarded them as leaders and representatives of Confucianism. ”

"Sirs of my generation, thank you General Li."

"Thank you, General Li..."

Around the execution ground, thousands of scholars held salutes and bowed gratefully to Li Zheng.

This worship.

This is their gratitude to Li Zheng.

Shixiu surrenders to the table with four words.

For the Confucian family, it was a criticism of their dominance of Confucianism, and it also undermined the Confucian family's unparalleled prestige that had been passed down from ancient times.

It made it clear to all the scholars in the world.

"impossible."

"This is impossible."

"You unfilial students who forget your ancestors by counting classics."

"How dare you?"

Seeing the surrounding scholars being extremely grateful to Li Zheng, Kong Xian was angry. He couldn't believe it.

all the time.

He was respected by countless scholars when he went out, but things changed because of Li Zheng's appearance, and seeing these thousands of scholars being grateful to Li Zheng made him collapse even more.

Although he has been suppressing the impeachment of these scholars, the consequences of the forced suppression have now appeared, which is to make countless scholars who adhere to Confucianism angry and even more dissatisfied with his Kong family.

"Now."

"Are you still daydreaming?"

"Since ancient times, how many loyal people who uphold Confucian loyalty have been at risk for the survival of the country, and how many national heroes who uphold loyalty have died for the country."

"But why are your Kong family still here? And they are here in every dynasty and every generation?"

"Since Shixiu surrendered to the emperor, are you worthy of being the leader of Confucianism?"

"After today."

"There is no more Yanshenggong in the world."

"After today."

"There is no longer a leader in Confucianism in the world."

"Confucianism, the way of loyalty and righteousness, is in the hearts of every patriotic people, and there is no need for you to guide it."

Li Zheng scolded coldly and angrily, completely disintegrating the Kong family's appearance on this execution ground.

It also completely destroyed the prestige of the so-called leader of Confucianism.

"We, the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Confucianism connects ancient and modern times."

"The words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism have penetrated deeply into the hearts of countless people of the Tang Dynasty."

"But loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the hearts of every citizen does not need to be expressed, let alone expressed."

"He..." Li Zheng raised his hand and pointed at Kong Xian, who was pressed on the ground: "The Kong family has enjoyed the blessings of Confucianism since ancient times and thought that it was enough to lead and hold the head."

"After today."

"There is no more Confucian leader."

"cut."

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

Just back away.

Jing Zhaoyin stepped forward.

Holding the imperial edict, he loudly said: "The criminal Kong Xian was deeply favored by the emperor, but he did not think about sharing the country's worries, but he planned to assassinate our important officials of the Tang Dynasty. Now it has been found out that when General Li Zheng returned in triumph, it was Kong Xian who planned it Assassination is a crime that cannot be forgiven."

"The Emperor's Imperial Decree."

"Behead Kong Xian and his three sons as a warning to others."

"All the young and old men of the Confucius family were sent to the frontiers for hard labor."

"All the women from the Confucius family were demoted to the Jiaofang Department."

"Appreciate this."

After Jing Zhaoyin read out.

The executioner from the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward.

Came behind Kong Xian and his three sons.

puff.

The four executioners shouted strong wine, sprayed it on the chopping knife, and the strong wine spilled.

The beheading knife was raised high.

He slashed at the necks of Kong Xian and his son.

There was a click.

Everything is settled.

Four heads fell to the ground.

The final glory of the Confucian family, taking the lead in Confucianism, has become a thing of the past.

after.

There will no longer be families that use Confucian prestige to gain power.

"Good kill."

"From now on, no one will be able to take advantage of my generation."

A scholar said loudly.

"Good kill."

All the surrounding scholars shouted, as if they were also letting out a bad breath.

They practiced Confucianism and were loyal and righteous, but the Confucian family was regarded as the leader of Confucianism. When it was revealed that the Confucianists were demoted, all the scholars naturally felt a sense of humiliation.

"General Lee."

"All the prisoners have been beheaded."

"Please give the order, General."

Jing Zhaoyin came to Li Zheng and said respectfully.

"Throw it into a mass grave."

Li Zheng said coldly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Looking at Li Zheng's back.

But a scholar said loudly with awe, "General Li, please stay."

Li Zheng stopped.

Turning around, he looked at this scholar, who was about thirty years old and had an aura of uprightness about him.

"I am a Confucian scholar and a native of Qiantang, Shangguan Yi." The scholar cupped his hands and held his fists in salute.

"I seem to have heard this name before."

"Isn't this the father of Shangguan Wan'er, a famous talented woman from the Wu Zhou Dynasty?" Li Zheng thought to himself.

but.

Come back to your senses.

"I wonder what's wrong with you?" Li Zheng returned the salute and asked with a smile.

"General Li is young, but he is an important minister of the Tang Dynasty and has made countless military exploits for the country."

"Determined the Turks, quelled the rebellion of Xueyantuo tribe, went to Zhenla, and created the prestige of our Tang Dynasty at its peak."

"Although I am older than General Li, I have great admiration for General Li for his countless military exploits and the founding of the country."

"Today, as the scholars of our generation have gathered together, we would like to ask the general to say a few words for us." Shangguan Yi said to Li Zheng with a kind of respect.

Many scholars also looked at Li Zheng expectantly.

Li Zheng was young, but he had accomplished military exploits for his country, defeated powerful enemies for his country, and opened up new territory for his country.

This has obviously become a hero sought after by countless patriotic people and loyal patriotic scholars.

Think about it.

An arrogant person like Wei Zheng was willing to be friends with Li Zheng, and he was sincere. It is conceivable how great Li Zheng's reputation was in the Tang Dynasty.
