Chapter 1084
Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes fell on Li Long, who looked full of righteousness.
"Lord Li, have you heard about the morning court session today?"
Li Long nodded heavily.
"One can know a person's face but not their heart. Your subject never expected that Eunuch Guo would be such a beast."
"But the Western Depot is of great importance and is a sharp blade in Your Majesty's hand, so your subject has made a firm decision."
Li Long took a deep breath and looked at Wu Zhao.
"If Your Majesty grants permission, your subject will castrate myself, enter the Western Depot, and monitor the world for Your Majesty!"
Li Long's voice rose, his face full of firm determination.
These words made Wu Zhao's expression change slightly.
"Lord Li, this might be a bit painful." Wu Zhao said.
Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked.
The loyal Li Long was well-deserved of his reputation!
Li Long bowed and said, "For Your Majesty, for Great Qian, what is a little pain? Your subject will just use that one or two inches of stuff to drink wine."
At this moment, even Wu Zhao was moved.
Great Qian actually had such a courageous person?
As long as she agreed, Commander Li would become Eunuch Li.
But Li Long's words made her questions somewhat difficult to say.
"I have other candidates for the Western Depot. I summoned you here because there is something else I need you to do."
Li Long heard this and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Damn it, he almost became a eunuch.
Fortunately, he bet correctly.
But he remained calm and continued, "Your Majesty, just give the order; your subject is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhao glanced at Li Long and then said.
"The matter of the Infant Care Hall is shocking."
"These people even dared to incite the scholars of Changancheng to gather at the palace and coerce me to bow down. It can be said that they are bold and reckless. Go and release the news!"
"Within thirty years, Gao Yang will contribute ten million taels of silver to set up schools widely in Great Qian. I want them to taste the backlash, the power of the 'Money Ability'!"
When Wu Zhao said the last sentence, a sense of dominance and curiosity permeated her eyes.
Obviously, she was extremely looking forward to the power of this 'Money Ability'.
"Hiss!"
"Ten million taels?"
Li Long was shocked, dumbfounded.
How much did this Gao Yang embezzle?
Li Long originally thought he was the most courageous person in the entire Great Qian, but he didn't expect Gao Yang to be even more courageous than him!
Ten million taels, too ruthless!
But he bowed and said, "Your subject will go now, ensuring that those scholars get a hard slap in the face!"
After speaking, he turned and strode away.
Wu Zhao looked at Li Long's back, her gaze deep, and she said to Shangguan Wan'er.
"Wan'er, send someone to investigate Li Long secretly. I have a feeling that the Prince of Rong's Prefecture is not simple..."
"..."
Palace gate.
The sun rose high, a warmth swept over, and the scholars of Changancheng gathered, becoming increasingly agitated.
"Severely punish the 'Living Yama'!"
"Severely punish the 'Living Yama'!"
Waves of sound, like sonic booms, swept across the entire world!
Among them, Chi Potian was the most excited.
Besides him, Huang Zhizhan, Lin Shuhan, and Chen Wanjuan, who were ranked alongside Cui Xinghe as the four great talents of Changancheng, were also extremely excited.
Under their leadership, a group of impoverished scholars shouted until they were hoarse, their voices resounding through the sky.
But at this time, as the officials left the court, the news followed.
"Latest news, the 'Living Yama' launched a massive slaughter because of the Infant Care Hall!"
"Infant Care Hall?"
"The so-called Infant Care Hall is for children that families cannot afford to raise when natural disasters strike; they can all be sent to the Infant Care Hall to be raised for free!"
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"Good thing my foot. This Infant Care Hall uses the kindness of the people to actually engage in filthy acts. Not only is it used for ghost marriages, but it is also given to some people with perversions. Commandery Governor Meng is such a person, so the 'Living Yama' was enraged and started a massacre!"
"What!"
"What about Master Zhou? He is highly respected, why was he beheaded?"
"The 'Living Yama' said his eyes were bad, and he was also involved in the Infant Care Hall matter, so he was beheaded!"
Boom!
As the news spread, the students of Changancheng were all shocked.
They couldn't believe it, their eyes wide open.
Chi Potian, Huang Zhizhan, Lin Shuhan, Chen Wanjuan, and others were all dumbfounded.
But the next second.
Huang Zhizhan said, "Master Zhou is highly respected, how could he be involved in the Infant Care Hall? This is just an excuse for the 'Living Yama' to fob us off!"
Chi Potian's face changed first, then he said, "What a cunning 'Living Yama.' Even if the Infant Care Hall is true, Master Zhou is highly respected, how could he participate!"
"I, Chi Potian, still say the same thing: if the 'Living Yama' is truly for the people and is righteous, I, Chi Potian, will stand on my head and eat shit, eating both the dry and the wet together!"
Lin Shuhan also nodded and said, "Correct, Brother Chi's words make sense."
"If this matter is true, I will eat it too!"
"Master Zhou had a clean reputation all his life, and now that he is dead, he still bears such a stigma. It's infuriating! When can our generation of scholars stand up?"
"Death remonstrance!"
"The world is dark, the sky is covered with dark clouds, our generation of scholars, not fearing death, is willing to offer our blood to the nation!"
"Should die!"
"Should die!"
Once this truth was out, coupled with Gao Yang's past reputation and the incitement in the crowd.
For a time, the scholars of Changancheng were boiling with blood, and their voices became increasingly intense.
Simply because this was not the truth they wanted in their hearts.
But the next second.
An impoverished scholar, wearing a thin long gown that had been washed white and was covered in patches, with a flushed face, ran over.
He said loudly.
"Latest news, the 'Living Yama' said that right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. He can stop being an official, he can die, but he wants to do one thing!"
Someone mocked, "This is knowing he is unreasonable, so he just doesn't say anything. But what does the 'Living Yama' want to do?"
That scholar faced the gazes of the crowd and said loudly to everyone.
"He said that the culprit of the Infant Care Hall, Liu Dashan, could not study because of poverty, which is why he went astray."
"He said that the path of learning for impoverished scholars is difficult and too hard!"
"Therefore, the 'Living Yama' is willing to donate one million taels to set up schools and widely accept the impoverished scholars of the world!"
"He wants the impoverished scholars of the world to have books to read!" ===== CHAPTER 1086 =====
