The news that Ye Gucheng married a woman who was a slave as his wife was like a hurricane passing through, and it instantly set off a monstrous wave in the entire Huaxia Kingdom.

The great Confucian families in various places angrily denounced and condemned, and dozens of Confucian students of the Royal Capital Academy spontaneously organized a protest in the streets.

The party on the cusp of the storm, Ye Gucheng seemed to be unaffected, and led Li Yueli, who was also dressed in a wedding dress and a red yarn, to step on the stage along the red carpet.

The altar is the altar of the royal capital to worship the heavens, in the form of a square open-air high platform, only the staircase in the middle can reach, under normal circumstances, the occurrence of major events need to ask the gods to open it, only one exception, that is, the king's wedding.

Although Ye Gucheng is not the king, the people of Huaxia know that he is the real king, and he naturally has the right to use the Shentai.

However, on the altar, the clergy who was supposed to bless the king's wedding was not present.

Ye Gucheng was naturally happy to see this phenomenon, to put it bluntly, even if the clergy were present, he would not bow down and accept the blessing.

Marriage is a sacred thing, but it only depends on the families of both parties, Ye Gucheng's family is obviously impossible in this era, and Li Yueli's family is not willing to appear.

Whispering voices erupted in the crowd, and the absence of the blessing of the temple meant that the gods did not approve of the wedding.

The civil and military officials on both sides had different expressions, watching the two walk onto the high platform.

The ceremonial officer glanced at the left minister on one side and remained silent, according to the custom, he should read the wedding ceremony aloud at this moment.

Ye Gucheng's eyes successfully jumped into anger, and he was about to speak, when there was a commotion in the crowd of onlookers.

Dozens of Confucian students protested all the way, and if it wasn't for the guards to intercept them, they were afraid that they would have rushed to the high platform.

Sun Xiang's face was happy, and then he pretended to be nothing.

In the face of obstruction, the condemnation of the Confucian students became more intense.

The chatter began to get louder.

Li Yueli's body trembled violently, because of the red gauze on the lid, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but it was obviously uncomfortable!

Ye Gucheng could easily feel the fear of the people around him without looking sideways, and his pursed lips gradually revealed a sly smile.

Zhang Yi's face changed suddenly, he knew too well about Ye Gucheng's sneer.

"Come on, kill these Confucian students on the spot. ”

is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, not only the color of the hundred officials has changed, but the people are also demented.

In the face of the murderous guards, the Confucian students immediately panicked and scolded angrily.

"The commander thinks twice, there has never been a case of killing Confucian scholars in the Western Regions, they are the foundation of the country, and they cannot be killed. Sun Xiang knelt down in fright.

At the same time, hundreds of officials knelt down and pleaded.

"Commander, today is the day of the wedding, and when you see the blood, think twice. Zhang Yi also knew the seriousness of killing Confucian students, but he was obviously much more tactful than others.

Ye Gucheng was unmoved, and said coldly: "I never believe in fate, and the country is not this group of stupid people who don't know the so-called at all, behead!"

In the screams, the Confucian students died one after another.

The audience was silent.

"As for you, you don't have to be a ceremonial officer. Ye Gucheng looked at the civil official with an earthy face, and said in a deep voice: "Drag it down, cut it off." ”

"The commander spares his life, and the minister knows that he is wrong!" The ceremonial officer was completely panicked.

The two guards stepped forward quickly and walked down the altar with the ceremonial officer.

Soon after, the screams rang out again.

"I don't care what you think of me, but remember that those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish. Ye Gucheng looked around at the frightened people, slowly turned around, took the warm jade hand and continued to move forward, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, even if you ruin this world, I won't let anyone bully you." ”

Li Yueli was obviously shocked, and soon, she regained her composure, but within the red veil, two lines of tears fell silently.

Without a ceremonial officer, Ye Gucheng directly played the role of a ceremonial officer, and directly used modern words to unilaterally declare the end of the wedding ceremony.

Civil and military officials and even onlookers watched the commander complete the wedding so simply and rudely, but no one dared to speak.

Night.

Inside the Taihe Palace.

Li Yueli let the man behind her embrace, and said slowly: "Ye Gucheng, why do you have to marry me?"

Ye Gucheng didn't answer, perhaps, even he couldn't tell whether he was really in love with Li Yueli, or because of Li Yueli's shadow of Xuanyuan Xiu!

Li Yueli couldn't hear the response, and showed a bitter smile.

The news that Ye Gucheng forcibly married in disregard of the law of etiquette and brutally murdered Confucian scholars soon spread throughout Huaxia.

The major Confucian families were furious, the academy went on strike, and countless Confucian students marched to protest and crusade under the leadership of the major Confucian scholars.

For a time, the patrol battalions in various localities were helpless, and some high-ranking officials secretly intervened, so they could neither effectively stop nor dare to arrest them, and public order fell into chaos.

With the passage of time, with the help of some well-intentioned elements who restored the Western Regions, the peaceful demonstrations gradually turned violent, and the development of all walks of life was seriously affected, and the people suffered unspeakably.

Shangdu, the once very prosperous capital, with the violent protests of Confucian scholars, all walks of life were almost paralyzed, and the people's livelihood and economy regressed rapidly.

Zhao Ping, as Ye Gucheng's former right-hand man, was ordered to stay in Shangdu.

Shangdu was in turmoil, and it was his duty to lead hundreds of city defense soldiers to block thousands of people on the streets, and tried hard to persuade them, but they didn't want to be seriously injured by the rioters who rushed into the guards.

In fact, this kind of thing happened in every city, and some of the generals of the city patrol battalion were even killed, and their heads were hung high in the procession.

Huaxia Wangcheng.

On the main hall.

Ye Gucheng listened to the painful words of His Royal Highness's officials with an expressionless face.

"Commander, Huaxia has ushered in a real crisis! The origin of this crisis is Li Yueli!" Sun Xiang came out of the crowd and knelt down and said: "According to the old minister's opinion, only by ordering the killing of this demon girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the commander will issue an edict against himself, and the mistaken killing of students by name is all bewitched by this demon girl, in this way, can the anger of the major Confucians be calmed." ”

This time, Zhang Yi did not say anything to stop it, obviously, in his opinion, it was also the only way.

Ye Gucheng didn't laugh angrily, he couldn't have imagined that the word "red face and troubled water" would appear on Li Yueli, just because the other party had been reduced to a slave!

"Someone. ”

Several palace guards quickly entered the temple and bowed to the people on the throne.

"Push Sun Xiang down and cut him off. "Ye Gucheng's cold light shot violently.

If you don't agree with each other, you will be killed, and it has really become Ye Gucheng's label!

This frightened the civil and military officials, and Zhang Yi hurriedly knelt down and said: "The commander thinks twice, and the left minister can't be killed." ”

Ye Gucheng also knew that killing Sun Xiang at this time would cause real turmoil in the Huaxia Empire, however, he was angry in his heart, and changed his words: "Push it down and go to the heavenly prison." ”

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a beheading, there was room for maneuver.

Sun Xiang was also stubborn, and let the palace guards take him away without saying a word.

After Ye Gucheng finished dealing with Sun Xiang, he continued to say in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan is crazy. ”

"The minister is here. Regulus immediately came out of the ranks.

"Whoever leads the troublemakers of Confucianism, no matter who they are and what kind of prestige they have, they will all copy the family, and those who are in charge will be decided. Ye Gucheng waved his hand, exuding a sense of slaughter.

"Yes!" Regulus gladly accepted.

At this time, the officials in the palace exploded and ordered intercession.

Ye Gucheng was unmoved, and continued to say in a loud voice: "Order the military camps in various places, send troops to suppress the rebellion, gather crowds to make trouble and ignore the warning, no matter who they are, kill them on the spot, no need to ask for an order." ”

Zhang Yi's face changed again, you know, the Chinese officials of the DPRK are all from Confucian students, so if they act like this, they will not destroy their own foundation, and hurriedly dissuaded: "The commander thinks twice, students are the cornerstone of the country, and they must not be killed indiscriminately." ”

"The cornerstone of the nation?" Ye Gucheng smiled, and immediately, said coldly: "I'm afraid it's a moth that destroys my Huaxia country! The Huaxia law, but there is a clause that states that this commander must be a good person to marry a wife? Moreover, the law has long emphasized that under any circumstances, the people are not allowed to gather to make trouble, and these so-called cornerstones of the country, knowing the law and breaking the law, storming the patrol camp, and smashing the legitimate business of merchants, make the people panic and the people miserable. ”

The official was momentarily speechless.

"They are very lucky, because the place where they live is called Huaxia Kingdom, guarded by a strong army, if they are lucky enough to go to the end of the desert, that land of the Northern Barbarians, they will know that if they want to eat a full stomach and want to live well, many times, it is a luxury. ”

In a trance, Ye Gucheng seemed to have returned to the hard years of the Northern Barbarian Land, and continued: "Have any of you ever tried to eat only one meal a day? Who has ever tried to be so hungry that you have no food and can only gnaw on bark and weeds? Who has tried to keep out the cold by leaning on a crumbling thatched hut in the cold, and even without a decent quilt on your body! No, you have not experienced these lives! These scholars live a life of abundant food and clothing, do not want to make progress but want to make trouble, stand in the land of China, hold high the laws of the Western Regions, such disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people, and dare to call themselves the cornerstone of the country? ”

These words directly put the cold sweat of what the civil and military officials said.

Except for Zhang Yi, everyone else stepped back. ”

The officials didn't dare to say anything more, and withdrew from the hall with different expressions.

Zhang Yi continued to maintain a kneeling posture, in fact, from the moment he asked for Sun Xiang's life, Ye Gucheng did not let him get up!

"Zhang Yi! You are a talent, however, there are still many talents like you in Huaxia, but not everyone is so lucky to reach such a height as you. Ye Gucheng's voice was very soft, and the warning was also very obvious.

Zhang Yi panicked in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister is guilty." ”

"As I said, as a strategist, even if you are a prime minister now, there is no difference, you can make proposals, you can make suggestions, but once I decide, you must unconditionally solve the problem according to my settings. Ye Gucheng's eyes were even colder.

"The minister is guilty, please punish the commander. Zhang Yi was even more flustered.

"Zhang Yi, you were pulled up by me, you will always remember to me, no matter what the situation, you must remember the camp. Speaking of this, Ye Gucheng said in a deep voice again: "Do you really think that if you kill Sun Xiang, there will be chaos in the Huaxia Kingdom? Let me tell you, if you need to, don't say Sun Xiang, the civil and military officials here, anyone who opposes me, all of them will not miss the kill, there are no nobles, no famous Confucian students, I will use the common people, talented people who are truly loyal to my Huaxia, such as Zhang Yi, will you be worse than them?"

Zhang Yi was immediately embarrassed.

"The people are the cornerstone of the country! Those who defend their homes and defend the country and bravely kill the enemy have never been famous Confucians, and I hope you will keep this in mind. ”

"Chen, write it down!" Although Zhang Yi still couldn't accept Ye Gucheng's theory, he didn't dare to refute it.
