The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 479

Outside the palace, swords are on the verge of breaking out.

A group of soldiers in bright armor confronted a group of students.

The leading student was Ma Si, who was dancing and scolding a group of soldiers.

brush!
These soldiers were not ordinary people either. They were all personal soldiers who followed Dongfang Sheng through life and death. They were annoyed by the scolding by Ma Si and the others, so they directly pulled out their swords.

Seeing these soldiers draw their swords, a smile appeared on the corner of Masi's mouth and he shouted loudly: "You reckless people who only know how to fight and kill, do you still want to do something to us?"

Under the leadership of Ma Si, this group of students leaned on Dongfang Sheng's soldiers one by one like warriors who had been beaten with chicken blood, and their actions even won the applause of the unknown crowd around them. .

As soon as he heard someone applaud, Ma Si's face showed a trace of fear.

I think I, Ma Simai, am a poor legalist, and I have achieved today's achievements only after being taken care of by the lord, so let me do something for the lord today!A flash of determination suddenly flashed in Masi's eyes.

Before the leader of the soldiers had time to react, he felt his long sword being twitched, and then saw the student named Ma Si stabbing his throat with the long sword.

It's the other way around!This soldier had been baptized countless times on the battlefield, so he was so easily hit. He immediately took a step back, and at the same time kicked Ma Si's wrist with his toe, and kicked the long sword in Ma Si's hand away with great force.

Naturally, the soldier's reaction was not slow. Seeing the long sword flying into the air, he immediately jumped up, received the sword, and then directly swiped the sword forward.

Maston felt a chill in his throat, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound. There was only a gurgling sound in his throat, which was due to the choking of air.

However, there wasn't much pain on Ma Si's face, instead there was a look of relief and triumph.

At this time, the students behind Ma Si saw that Ma Si was killed, and rushed forward one by one, shouting.

It's just moths jumping to the flame, how can there be a good result.

The aroused murderous personal soldiers quickly eliminated the group of students who had been entrenched at the gate of the palace, leaving only corpses and a pool of blood on the ground.

The people around were still watching the excitement, but after Ma Si was killed, the group of people ran away like frightened birds, and no one could stay at the scene anymore.

Looking at the corpses all over the place, the personal captain felt like he had gotten into trouble for no reason.

It just so happened that Dongfang Sheng, who was dressed in a vermilion robe, walked to the city gate at this time and saw this scene.

Dongfang Sheng doesn't like being carried, so if there is no big scene, he usually walks away.

He was also taken aback when he saw the corpses all over the place. Dongfang Sheng originally planned to come out today to see how violent these guys were, but he didn't expect to see this group of students headed by Ma Si all collapsed on the ground as soon as he came out. He died in a pool of blood.

With a plop, the captain of the personal army knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was just impulsive."

A large group of soldiers who had just killed someone knelt on the ground and pleaded with Dongfang Sheng.

Dongfang Sheng just frowned and said, "You guys are so courageous! You killed someone and didn't clean it up! Do you want to keep it for a while?"

These words made a group of soldiers feel grateful for what they said, they knew that Dongfang Sheng would not punish them.

Immediately, the group of soldiers wiped away their tears and began to clean up the corpses and sweep the ground.

It's good to die, it's troublesome to die.Dongfang Sheng muttered a few words in his heart. Regarding the group of students who had been occupying the gate of the palace, Dongfang Sheng felt a little conflicted.

Their crimes can be big or small. At the most serious level, they are demagogues, disrupting social order, and intending to overthrow the imperial court.

To put it mildly, this is just a romantic protest by a group of idealists.

Dongfang Sheng originally wanted to let these people block the door and ignore them, but of course he would think of some way to let these people go back by themselves.

But all this was disrupted by this bloody conflict.

Dongfang Sheng smelled the faint smell of blood, and he had no intention of going out for a stroll, so he shook his head and turned back to the palace.

An ox cart carried by a green ox is slowly advancing on the official road.

Someone in the bullock cart asked aloud, "How long will it take to reach Beiping City?"

"There are still about five days." The coachman driving the car replied.

The people in the car suddenly fell silent for a while, and then said: "Then let's rest for a while, I'll go out and walk around, and stretch my muscles and bones."

The driver stopped the ox cart immediately, and because the speed of the ox cart was slow, he basically stopped whenever he was called.

The one who got out of the car was a young man in Chinese clothes. He looked very gloomy, as if he could dye the surrounding air into shadows.

As soon as the young man got out of the car, he drew out his saber and started dancing beside him.

The sword was waving in the young man's hand like a snake that wanted to eat someone, even the coachman who was watching from the side felt that this sword technique was terrifying.

After practicing a set of sword skills, the young man wiped off his sweat with a dry cloth, looked ahead and said to himself: "Meng Ren, this move is a dead end for you, no one will take the sword that is already in your hand. Things loosen again, unless..."

"Go on," said the young man to the coachman.

The first riot finally broke out in Beiping City, and the cause was Ma Si and the others who were killed by Dongfang Sheng's soldiers.

The riot was caused by the students who were still watching in Beiping City. They originally thought that the imperial court would sympathize with the feelings of their scholars and cancel the nine-year education decree. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Sheng came directly to kill them.

This directly raised the fear of this group of students to the highest level. They all felt that their lives were in danger at any time, so this group of people spontaneously organized and rushed to the palace.

This group of people was excited, one by one clamoring to hand over the murderer at the gate of the palace, and at the same time, students from all over the world joined in the riot.

The entire city of Beiping began to fall into chaos.

It was quiet in the palace, Dongfang Sheng's face was flickering under the light of the lantern, and Jia Xu, who was sitting by the side, couldn't see Dongfang Sheng's face clearly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't deal with this matter, I'm afraid there will be a big mess." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"The time has not yet come." The response to Jia Xu was only one sentence.

Why!Jia Xu left the palace with a sigh. He entered the palace late at night to persuade Dongfang Sheng to take back that decree. Everything originated from Dongfang Sheng's decree on free education. , the families with big surnames such as the Jia family are against each other.

All they rely on is the monopoly of knowledge, thus monopolizing the official positions in the court, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

What Dongfang Sheng wants is to destroy their monopoly, so that ordinary people can also have the opportunity to be officials.
