There are some people who always feel arrogant. They think they are chess players, but in fact they are not facing an unfair showdown, but they have no qualifications to play chess at all.

There was no court meeting, no discussion between the monarch and ministers, only a cold imperial edict.

The imperial edict was directly sent to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Even if the cabinet had the right to refute the emperor's decree, the cabinet would reject it if it thought it was unreasonable and let the emperor reconsider it. However, according to the principle of different paths of civil and military affairs, they still could not interfere in the military.

The imperial power in the Gansheng Dynasty was never a tablet there; after all, the imperial power with a knife is called imperial power!

After the order was issued, the garrison immediately mobilized a large army. Nanzhili itself was a major defense center, but in just one day, when the government and the country were shaking the turmoil in Wuxi.

The army has already started to act.

If the emperor wants to be authoritarian, he must hold the knife handle in his hand!

The reason why those people did not cooperate with the emperor to play chess face to face was because of the knife handle in the emperor's hands.

And this is exactly why Zhu Guoqiang is confident! Because we have a knife in our hands.

As usual, scholars from all over the world gathered in the Donglin Academy in Wuxi, in the name of memorial service, but they did not know that the knife was put on their necks.

As the brigade of people marched, the bluestone slabs on the road trembled faintly, and the officers and soldiers' leather boots approached Donglin Academy with neat steps. The sound of the copper nails on the soles of the boots pedaling on the stone slabs echoed in the air.

The scholars who were shouting "Today's independence" couldn't help but look at each other, and said:

"What's the movement?"

At the same time, a scholar rushed back from outside the academy and exclaimed:

"There are officials coming to the academy! They have complete armor and armour, carrying live ammunition and guns, and there are as many as thousands of people!"

The scholars gathered in Donglin Academy all looked in panic. They were making noises, all their faces were ashamed. Many people had already made up their minds to run away, and some people with quick eyelids had secretly escaped from the scene.

The emperor sent troops!

This was both within their expectations and also beyond their expectations, but someone still stubbornly said:

"Don't panic, everyone, we are scholars with fame, how can we be scared by a group of martial artists? The world is bright and bright, under the iron pen of history, Sun does not believe that His Majesty will do things recklessly again, killing us and other scholars to commit such a matter of anger and resentment from heaven!"

Another scholar also whispered:

"Not bad! Today we are in Donglin Academy. The Donglin righteous man was not afraid of violence and resisted the power and traitor of the eunuch party. He eventually left his name in history. We should take the Donglin ancestors as role models, plead for the people, and be enthusiastic about the righteousness, even though we died, we ignored it!"

His words immediately aroused cheers. Where is Donglin Academy? It was the origin of the Donglin Party. The Donglin scholars who were unyielding to the eunuch party's righteous acts, and still make many scholars proud.

Another waved and shouted:

"We are waiting here to see if the martial artists and his commander dare to take the blame for the world and massacre our scholars!"

"Yes, we should follow Senior Donglin! Fight to the death!"

...

Teams of officers poured into Donglin Academy like a tide, and surrounded the place where the soldiers were.

A stone yard became the dividing line between the two.

On one side is a scholar who tried to imitate Donglin.

On one side is the official army with live ammunition!

There was no respected squire involved, only young scholars, including both students and juren. The people standing in the front row all looked at the officers and soldiers with a righteous and cold eyes.

It is true that the emperor has soldiers, but he really dares to start a massacre in Donglin Academy!

Does Your Majesty want scholars in the world?

The officer holding the sword in his hand had a cold face and looked at these scholars. Occasionally, their eyes would turn to the side, look at the "opening" over there, and then said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty has an order, and you gather together to pay tribute. It is actually a rebellion. According to the law, you should be executed. However, if you think of the first offense, if you wake up as soon as possible, you can deal with it with leniently..."

Can be handled leniently!

Your Majesty’s concessions made all the scholars breathe a sigh of relief. In their opinion, it seemed that he had won the bet. Your Majesty dared not kill all scholars in the world!

Some candidates all showed joy when they heard this. It seems that there are times when they are afraid of contempt!

The scholars gathered at Donglin Academy immediately said proudly.

"It is really a traitor. Our scholars are concerned about national affairs. How can we say that we want to make a traitor? How can we say that we want to make a traitor? How can we say that we have a sin?"

"That is, the country and family care about everything, but it is the duty of the scholars..."

Everyone suddenly said with words and words, the emperor's concessions became weak in their eyes.

Facing the reaction of the scholar, the leading officer looked cold and shouted in a deep voice:

"Take all the people who cause trouble, take them out of the academy, and wait for execution!"

A group of officials immediately rushed forward to try to capture the scholars in the front row.

"These Qiu Bas have caught people..."

The scholars immediately shouted loudly and rushed up to try to resist the official army, but they were obviously not the opponents of these officers and soldiers. Faced with their resistance, the officers and soldiers directly smashed the scholars with their butts, and then tied up the blood-stained scholars.

The in front of the academy was completely in chaos. The magistrate of Wuxi, the magistrate of Wen Xun, and others were all stunned. They were shocked and looked deserted and murmured:

"Your Majesty, really, really took action."

Facing these officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, a scholar held up the tablet of Saint Kong and shouted loudly:

"Master Confucius Sheng! Open your eyes and take a look, take a look..."

But the wooden tablet obviously failed to protect them, and a gun stock hit him directly on the head, kicking him over to the ground with the tablet.

The leading officer shouted in a deep voice:

"Take everyone down!"

The sound of the butt stock, the screams of the scholars, and the steps of the iron boots of the official army echoed in the Donglin Academy. The spirit shed was knocked down and the scholars were taken down one by one. The warriors they looked down on not only hit them with the butt stock, but also occasionally slapped them with their hands.

The movements in the academy made all the onlookers frightened.

A riot was quickly calmed down. To put it bluntly, the reason why it was able to be calmed down was a means of thunder. It was completely different from the fact that the Ming Dynasty had been at a loss in dealing with the chaos in Shilin in the past.

So much so that there was no reaction everywhere.

In the afternoon of the same day, after everything was over, thousands of arrested scholars were tied outside the gate. Around the scholars were the official army standing in a formation, and dozens of scholars who were leading the trouble were kneeling in front of the military formation.

All the squire watching showed strange words and said intimately:

"Can they kill someone?"

The people also stopped to watch, and there were many discussions. Some young scholars were in contact with each other, wanting to take action to deny the rescue.

The officer who led the lead took out a decree and shouted:

"Your Majesty has an order: You are unfaithful in serving the king, and you are unfaithful in your duties, and you are ignorant of the country's affairs, and you are ignorant of the emperor. This is actually a great rebellion, and you will behead you according to the law..."

After saying that, the officer shouted in a deep voice:

"Take a sword and execute a execution!"

With a loud bang, dozens of officials immediately pulled out their swords.

"cut!"

In the sun, a white light flashed by, and dozens of knelt on the ground, before they even had time to shout for justice, their heads were splashing and splattering blood...

The smell of blood was filled with the air. Looking at the corpses on the ground, many onlookers were stunned.

"What, how could this happen?"

"No, if you don't teach, you will be punished, yes, it's for..."

Many people were shocked by the scene in front of them. They did not expect that these people were actually chopped off their heads. They should not have been tried by the three officials, not...

But now, these people are killed like this. In fact, this is a signal. The heads of these people are telling them that the people behind them are those who are trying to play chess on this chessboard... You are not qualified to play chess on this chessboard at all.

But this signal was sent out with a bloody head.

Seeing so many scholars being killed in front of him, Wuxi magistrate looked even pale. He even thought that he had failed to deal with the matter in time, which has led to so many people in the forest being killed. This is really a sin!

More importantly, Your Majesty!

I'm afraid His Majesty also complains about him.

The emperor does not tolerate His Majesty, and the subordinate does not tolerate Shilin. Thinking of this, the magistrate of Wuxi couldn't help but shake...
Chapter completed!
