The Minister of Works was speechless for a moment. Wu Zetian glanced at the Minister of Works and snorted coldly: "You people don't think about how to do their best in their positions on weekdays, and always think about intrigue. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. It's just that Mo Bei is from a poor and humble family, and has never read the words of a saint. He is not the same as you, so he can't be an official. Besides, what excuses can you come up with? Is it only possible for you to be an official? Do you think you are a scholar, so it's natural to be an official? No matter how much achievements others make, they are a depressed person. People?"

Wu Zetian's eyes finally fell on Yao Chong, and one sentence blocked what Yao Chong wanted to say.

All along, they opposed it just for the sake of opposition, and the excuses were the same every time. Over time, Wu Zetian already knew what they were going to say.

So she was too lazy to talk nonsense to the civil officials such as Yao Chong, but Wu Zetian was really tired of these civil officials. Even if she wanted to stop them, she should at least find something innovative. She always blindly used the identity of a scholar and a doctor as a speech.

Haven't they figured it out yet that they were just trying to dismantle the power class of the literati and officials?

But they always use the reason Wu Zetian hates the most. The more they say this, the more bored and disappointed Wu Zetian will be.

Why can you not punish the literati and officials, and why can you not be respected by the common people?

How many of these noble scholars and officials can be called noble people?

How many people have the cultivation of self-cultivation and governance of the country and peace in the world?

Now the so-called scholar-officials have long become stepping stones to get rid of sin and profit, and have long become a shortcut to success and fame.

Let’s look at the scholars and officials in front of them. They are all elegant and fairy-hearted and gentlemanly, but they always can’t stand others’ goodness.

They have to take care of women as officials, and they have to take care of merchants as officials. Now even a person with great achievements and great merits that have been of great success and great merits must be stopped, just because this person is not a literati or a literati.

"Your Majesty, do you have to go further and further on this evil path?" Yao Chong had lost the last bit of respect and looked at Wu Zetian with a gloomy face.

"Evil Path? The real evil Path is you Confucianism! You scholars and officials who have long deteriorated!" Wu Zetian no longer tolerated it at this time.

Faced with the aggressiveness of civil officials, Wu Zetian also lost her last patience.

"The principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences is completely unworkable for you. Even if you know that you are wrong, you must stick to your own opinions. It is not your way, but for you and the interests behind you!"

Since they have already shown up, Wu Zetian no longer hides her.

"Why can't others be officials? People can do better than you, so you get out of the Golden Palace for me. Don't think that if you don't have any of this world, you will perish. I don't care about you."

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't expect Wu Zetian to say such crazy words.

"Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying? You will be despised by the people of the world!" Yao Chong growled.

"It's a deviant way? A joke, you represent the people of the world? It's just a fact that you dare not admit. If I make a choice, there must be one of the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce that will disappear. I will choose you without hesitation! You are shameless and think how important you are."

"I am old and I beg your Majesty to allow me to retire and return home." Yao Chong said with a dark face.

"Accurate! Who of you plans to retire and return home, I will be sure together." Wu Zetian responded directly.

"I feel that I am not capable of it, so I beg your Majesty to allow me to resign."

"allow."

"minister……"

"It's accurate, it's accurate. If you don't plan to be used to it, you can leave your official uniform and hat. There are more people in the world who are talented and capable than you, and you are not short of you."

Wu Zetian did not give me any memories of them, and Yao Chong and others' faces were even more gloomy.

They suddenly found that the tricks that were tried and tested were useless this time.

In the past, no emperor dared to allow more than three court officials to resign at the same time, but this time more than a dozen civil officials have resigned, and Wu Zetian's face did not change.

The farce finally ended in a bad mood and ended with the resignation of thirteen civil officials.

But although Yao Chong resigned, he was still the backbone of all civil officials, and when everyone left, he was still centered on him.

"The demon queen is in chaos and disturbing Tiangang. We should put the country first. What do you think?"

This is a good way to say it, and an unpleasant way to say it is rebellion.

As soon as Yao Chong said, everyone's hearts were shocked. Even though they knew they would get such an answer, they were inevitably afraid.

"Xiao Yao, isn't this really going nowhere?"

"Did you forget Wu Zetian's words today? We are now standing on the edge of the cliff. Wu Zetian is planning to kill us all. We should be martyred!"

"Yes, martyrdom!"

"Marty with one's own life!"

"Only, I wonder how many troops Yao Xiang can have?"

"Hundreds of thousands!" A cold light flashed in Yao Chong's eyes.

Everyone's faces showed horror, one hundred thousand troops!?

"Which road defender?"

"It's not from any road, but from around Luoyang!"

Everyone's faces were even more shocked. No wonder Yao Chong was so sure that 100,000 troops were placed around Luoyang City, which would definitely be able to control the political situation and even the imperial power!

After hearing about Yao Chong's trump card, more civil officials strengthened their confidence.

Wu Zetian could only mobilize nearly 100,000 troops directly, but among these 100,000 troops, the guards, which can really play a role, can only be mobilized in advance. After all, these troops are scattered around Luoyang City. Although the generals and marshals in Luoyang City have made great achievements, they are actually not in their hands and have retired in Luoyang City.

Generals with troops in their hands will not enter Luoyang City. Even if these generals are loyal to Wu Zetian, they will not be able to bring troops to Luoyang City without receiving Wu Zetian's order.

So Yao Chong's 100,000 troops were enough to turn the entire Luoyang City upside down.

In the next few days, everything seemed so calm.

Wu Zetian devoted all his energy to the publicity of the Tang Daily, and at the same time spread the news of Yao Chong's revenge.

The so-called "When people leave, no matter how powerful Yao Chong is, once he leaves, some people will inevitably lose confidence in him.

The longer the time goes on, the smaller his influence will be.

Of course, Wu Zetian also knew that Yao Chong had not given up completely, but Wu Zetian pretended not to know that everything was so normal.

The storm was near, but the people of Luoyang City were unaware of it.

"Master, the good show is about to Cairo, but I'm afraid you will need your help at that time."

"Don't worry, I won't stand by. Not only the main show, but I have already arranged the plan for the aftermath. And this time, I will make the Confucian and Taoist scholars unable to recover."

"Master, are you really planning to let Confucianism and Taoism disappear?"

"Of course not. Confucianism and Taoism are also one of the hundreds of schools of thought. They are just people who have wrong minds in later generations who have turned the world upside down, and have made Confucianism and Taoism literati only focus on power and interests, and have lost their integrity. Now they are just to make things right. His Majesty Confucianism and Taoism fall, but they are not destroyed. When Confucianism and Taoism return to peace and shine again, they are no longer the identity of a ruler, but a true literati and a cultural person who takes cultural heritage as their responsibility."

"Master, then which one are you from?"

"I have entered the Tao with martial arts, so martial arts is my foundation. However, what I have learned is very complicated and all schools of thought understand it. It is precisely because of this that I can understand that all schools of thought have dross and essences, rather than just a side-minded way as Confucianism says."

"Master, can you please make Wu a Chinese scholar?"

"No." Bai Chen shook his head: "If martial arts is established as a national study, it is inevitable that the mistakes of Confucianism will repeat. If it is used by people with unrighteous minds, it will be another phenomenon of chaos in politics. You just need to remember one thing, there is nothing in the world that is national study. The one that can be used by the country is national study. However, it cannot occupy any position like the Confucian literati today. The most suitable position for literati is actually the Ministry of Rites. They are cultural, but they always want to give guidance to the country. This is very ridiculous."

"Then Master thinks, what academics can guide the world?"

"It is not necessary to have any theory. However, those who engage in politics must have two sides. They know what can be done and what cannot be done in front of the people. There is no need to integrate words and deeds, but they must understand the overall situation. Although such people are not liked by others, they are all essential." Bai Chen paused and said, "But professional departments do not allow such people to appear. Professional departments must be held responsible by professionals, such as fighting, and literati must have a military supervisor. How can literati know how to fight?"

"But if there is no military supervisor, what if the general rebellion?"

"If a general really has the intention to rebel, the first one to kill is the military supervisor. What is the difference between having a military supervisor and not having a military supervisor? Being able to rebel is nothing more than a long geographical location and inconvenient transportation. When Luoyang City learns the news, I am afraid that after three months, it will be captured by the rebels. However, this kind of thing is actually very easy to solve. As long as I use my method, there will be no rebellion from now on."

"No more rebellion?"

"No more rebellion!"

"What's the solution?"

"This method requires looking at Mo Bei and a group of craftsmen. If they can develop a fire-burning car, they can reach the south of the sea in three days, and one train can send out thousands of soldiers. Just let a few parades walk around the Central Plains every now and then, whether there is any rebellion can be found, and what other military supervisors need." (To be continued.)8
