Chapter 28: The world is full of scholars

After this scene appeared, everyone in the court was stunned.

Good guy, what are you doing? Did you give up on the spot?

Xia Yan was also left speechless, thinking that although he had never mentioned the rules of the court, it would not be like this.

After all, he is considered an emperor, and it is really inappropriate for a minister to yell at his emperor like this.

At this time, he needs to show his majesty.

"Come back!"

With an angry shout, Zhao Zheng below still didn't look back, "Don't look back!"

Hearing this, the remaining uncles were a little anxious, but it was hard to say anything at the moment.

Although the little emperor's moves were sometimes a bit foolish, at least he was able to avoid danger every time, and the results were good every time.

This stupid Zhao Zheng is acting like this just because he didn't get the money all of a sudden. He really shouldn't have done it.

But Xia Yan still cleared his throat and whispered: "I have just promulgated a new law. You know what punishment you will be punished in this situation."

The harsh punishment law has always been a deterrent to ordinary people. Ordinary people would be slapped with thirty sticks for stealing steamed buns, let alone someone like Zhao Zheng who despised the imperial power.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zheng showed no fear at all, "So what, I really can't agree with someone like you who has no vision."

Seeing Zhao Zheng like this, Xia Yan could only helplessly shake his head.

Sometimes, some scholars take integrity too seriously and would rather live forever than live an ignoble existence.

But in Xia Yan's opinion, isn't this just stupid? I seek death just to go back to my previous life. What about you?

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Xia Yan still had no intention of killing, so he just said quietly.

"If I don't reply to you, I won't be able to smoke anymore!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng, who was below, was slightly startled, but after thinking with a slight struggle, he continued to speak: "If there is no, there will be no, at worst, I won't smoke Huazi in the future!"

"If you come back now, I will reward you with a hundred huazi on the spot."

!!!

After hearing this, everyone saw that Zhao Zheng continued to be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xia Yan with a solemn expression.

"Do you know what I will violate if I turn back? Behind me are the integrity of countless scholars in the world. If I just turn back, wouldn't I be slapping them in the face? I have done this, but I have not done any good for them.

Such a violation of integrity, do you think I would compromise for a hundred huazi?"

"Two hundred."

As Xia Yan said calmly, Zhao Zheng's expression changed again.

"This is not a matter of a few flowers. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me!"

"Five hundred."

….

“You’re really good at judging people!~~”

None of the old men expected that Zhao Zheng, who had looked so noble just now, would suddenly smile and look at Xia Yan as flatteringly as he could.

"If you want me to tell you, it's up to Your Majesty to look after people~~"

Everyone's expressions were extremely strange, and they were speechless looking at Zhao Zheng in front of them.

When Xia Yan saw this, he looked helpless.

I did intend to use Huazi to impress you, but I didn’t expect you to be like this.

Fortunately, his Minister of Etiquette still gave him face. Seeing him gradually approaching, Xia Yan understood that he should finish explaining the business as soon as possible.

However, no one saw that under Zhao Zheng's extremely flattering smile, a pair of dry hands was tightly holding a dagger.

The name of this dagger is Chifeng, which has been passed down in the Zhao family for hundreds of years. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron as well as mud.

Zhao Zheng understood that as long as he struck with his sword, the little emperor would inevitably become his dead soul.

Throughout the dynasties, all wise kings should know that education is the foundation of the world.

In the past, Daxia was unable to vigorously promote teaching because of insufficient financial resources.

But if it is not promoted now, it only shows that this little emperor has no foresight.

And this is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that after the little emperor saw that he had turned against him, he actually wanted to use a mere five hundred huazi to insult the scholars in the world.

Now I want to let the little emperor know that scholars are definitely not someone who can be bribed by just Hua Zi!

But when his green and vigorous body slowly approached and was about to reach Xia Yan's side, Xia Yan spoke silently.

"Actually, what I want to say is to give you fifty thousand taels of silver."

"What...what did you say?..."

After hearing Xia Yan's words, Zhao Zheng trembled violently all over his body, his eyes widened and he looked at Xia Yan with a look of disbelief.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.

"I said, I originally planned to give you fifty thousand taels."

Afterwards, Xia Yan stood up silently and said to everyone in the court: "I know that you think I am a foolish king, but you have to believe that since I am the king of the world, I will definitely consider the common people of the world."

"Education is the first priority in the world. How could I not know that the great development of education is the foundation of a country. Only by building schools, everyone in the world can come to study as long as they are willing. Only when the world is full of scholars can the empire be strong!"

Xia Yan's words immediately made everyone below look shocked.

"Everyone can read, and the world is full of scholars..."

Zhao Zheng's eyes were dull, and he muttered these words silently, with tears even shining in his eyes.

The rest of the people did the same, imagining this beautiful scene in their minds.

If it were possible for the world to be filled with scholars, how powerful would a country be?

Isn't this the most perfect world that everyone imagines?

The crowd's eyes were wandering with dull expressions, as if they had all entered that beautiful world at this moment.

Xia Yan felt very comfortable looking at everyone's appearance.

It would be great if that were the case, but it's a pity that I can't see this scene.

My country is about to perish, and I am the one who wants to go back immediately.

It's definitely not a bad thing to put on a wave of x to gain a wave of favor before going back.

Just as Xia Yan was giggling, a strange voice came out.

Snap...

Something fell between Xia Yan and Zhao Zheng.

The sound of this thing falling sounded very heavy and seemed to have some weight.

After hearing the sound, everyone in the field left their fantasy and looked at the object.

But unlike them, Zhao Zheng's face instantly turned pale at this moment, and there was no trace of blood on his already old face.

The thing between the two...

It was clearly Chi Feng.

Everyone can see that this red edge is extremely sharp and extraordinary.

If it hadn't appeared on such an occasion, I'm afraid everyone would have stepped forward with great interest to see what the difference was about this precious dagger.

But at this moment, no one dared to speak, because a guess had emerged in everyone's mind.

If everyone guessed correctly, Zhao Zheng turned out to be...

Want to assassinate Xia Yan!
