Chapter 485: Suppression

"The sins of a million people? Your Academy, what a bold claim!"

Liu Zheng gave a cold laugh, his presence imposing.

He looked coldly at Wang Chao and shook his head: "As the Dean of a prestigious Academy, your perspective is surprisingly narrow. You have trapped me here on this Cloud Platform today; what do you think you have intercepted?"

"Have you ever thought about it?"

"If I, Prefect Liu, cannot leave the Academy, what will become of the people of Liangzhou? If the five hundred thousand people of Liangzhou are stirred to righteous indignation, will the Academy take responsibility? Can the Imperial Court hold them back?"

He said indifferently: "I, Liu Zheng, currently hold such a position in Liangzhou!"

"If I am not there, Liangzhou will surely fall into chaos!"

"If Liangzhou falls into chaos, what will become of the world?"

He shouted angrily: "Dean, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Can you?"

Wang Chao's expression changed slightly at Liu Zheng's words.

Liu Zheng laughed heartily, picked up a piece again, and placed it in the far Northwest of the chessboard. He shook his head: "Why is my land of Liangzhou so withered? This should not be, it should not be... To judge good and evil in such a way is truly lacking in fairness."

"Zheng asks you."

"How many points does Zheng's Imperial Examination System deserve? Can your Counting Rods calculate that this Imperial Examination will influence Longyan for a hundred, a thousand years? The commoners will have a day to rise, scholars will have a time to gather! The world will have fairness, and the people will have hope!"

"Artisans will have status, and warriors will have dignity!"

"The nobles will lose their monopoly, the people will have a choice! Officials will have reverence!"

"For hundreds, even thousands of years, Dean, tell me, is this Great Good or Great Evil?"

After Liu Zheng finished these words, Wang Chao was left speechless.

Rumble!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Before Wang Chao could even speak.

The platform where Liu Zheng was located actually began to descend!

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

It has this kind of function too?

It descended by a full ten meters!

Good!

Liu Zheng became excited.

Wang Chao took a deep breath upon hearing this and nodded: "The Imperial Examination System, benefiting scholars, is Great Good."

Liu Zheng smiled: "What about the Pension system about to be implemented? The credibility of officialdom will rise, the people will live without worry, whether official or commoner, they need only work, and from then on there will be no more hunger in Liangzhou..."

Rumble!

It descended again!

Wang Chao was completely stunned.

Liu Zheng was on a roll...

"What about the Production Team? It will greatly increase the enthusiasm of the farmers..."

Rumble!

"What about the Household Registration System? When the time comes, there will no longer be a distinction between official status and White-clothed..."

Rumble!

"What about the Cabinet and the People's Representative Congress? Everyone participates in politics, everyone enjoys the right to vote and the right to be elected..."

Rumble, rumble!

Good!

Now Liu Zheng finally saw some trees; it was getting close, getting close.

Is that it?

If he spoke a little faster, wouldn't he be able to make it down in time for dinner?

At this moment.

Wang Chao was already stunned.

Below the high tower of the Academy.

Qin Zhangfeng and the Liangzhou Army troops who had caught up sat around the high tower, filled with murderous intent, standing by in full battle array.

The people of the Academy were all as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to move at all.

Just a moment ago, the five Red Cannons had fired dozens of times... some of the thatched huts had been blasted to pieces. They had come up aggressively to demand an explanation, but after seeing the state of the Liangzhou Army and making some inquiries, no one dared to make a sound anymore.

"What did you just say? On the Cloud Platform?"

"Is that true?"

"So, Prefect Liu was locked up on the Cloud Platform by the Dean?"

Many people exclaimed upon hearing this. Immediately, some gloated, some suppressed their laughter, some were deeply worried, and some were concerned for the Academy.

Complex emotions filled the entire scene.

But most people were just there to watch the spectacle.

Bombing the Academy?

Let you be arrogant!

Now you're cowering, aren't you? Who doesn't know what that Cloud Platform is? Once someone goes up there, they are all considered people of Great Evil. It is very difficult to come back down.

Hmm.

It is normal for the Liangzhou Army to be angry.

However, you can only be angry; what else can you do? Suddenly, the people from Wangbei Academy began to feel high-spirited, feeling as if they had finally let out a long-pent-up breath.

Qin Zhangfeng's face was gloomy.

Pei Qianyun's killing intent began to accumulate.

That Zhang Yang could not help but laugh out loud: "General Qin, how many years do you think your young master will take to come down? Oh my, it's getting late, why don't we eat early? You all have to come back early tomorrow, don't you?"

The whole crowd burst into laughter.

Qin Zhangfeng looked over coldly, his gaze like a blade.

"You, you, you, what do you want to do..."

Zhang Yang was startled, his expression changed drastically, and he jumped away.

Qin Zhangfeng could not be bothered to argue with such scum and continued to sit with his eyes closed.

Situ Kong also could not help but advise: "General Qin, why don't we eat first..."

Qin Zhangfeng did not even open his eyes and said indifferently: "Waiting for the young master to eat together."

"Waiting for the young master to eat together!"

That group of Liangzhou Army soldiers responded in unison.

"No..."

Situ Kong was caught between laughter and tears; he really wanted to remind them that it was on the Cloud Peak... Since ancient times, the shortest time it has taken for someone to come down was a full half-month! What can your young master do?

Could he possibly come down before dinner?

Who would have thought that at this very moment.

The tall building behind them emitted a rumbling sound of gears working intensely.

The laughter of the whole crowd came to an abrupt halt.

What is going on?

Mo Chen was shocked: "Coming down a bit?"

"What?"

The whole crowd was shocked.

Then, the rumbling sound could not stop.

"And the Grand Canal, connecting the north and south, facilitating trade, increasing tax revenue, stabilizing the imperial court..."

Rumble, rumble!

Liu Zheng was eloquent and could not stop at all; at this moment, he already dared to stand up! Good heavens, he could even see the mountain, so what was there to fear? This thing was truly more addictive the more one played with it!

"Wait, wait, wait a moment..."

A young person could handle this, but how could Wang Chao handle it? Soon he was about to faint from dizziness... going up and down for a while, rising at high speed, falling at high speed... He was already seventy years old, seventy years old!

"However, I do have times when I did things wrong..."

Liu Zheng quickly fell into his own rhythm, frowning: "The Western Regions Construction Corps, this method indeed did not consider the emotions of the people in the Western Regions, it could still be improved, it counts as a minor evil..."

Rumble!

This time, it rose another five meters...

"For the sake of the big picture, abandoning some craftsmen in Jiangzhou City was indeed inappropriate..."

Rising five meters!

"I..."

Wang Chao was dizzy and almost vomited. At this moment, where was his calm and composed demeanor of sitting steadily on the platform?

Liu Zheng chuckled inwardly.

Playing with him?

Then he would play properly with him!

"Governing the plague, so what? For such a good deed, is it too much to build an ancestral hall?"

Rumble!

This time.

Wang Chao was about to be completely broken.

Huh?

Just this?

Liu Zheng chuckled, then sat down and took a sip of tea.

Wang Chao looked at him as if looking at a devil.

Do you have to be like this?

Do you have to be like this?

He breathed heavily, stroked the chessboard with his hand again, and said in a flustered rage: "Fine, then let us discuss this Greedy Wolf Star Plate!"

"Liangshan?"

Liu Zheng laughed out loud: "The Academy spread poppy seeds and poisoned so many people; I haven't settled this account with your Academy yet. You want to discuss it with me? Come, how will you discuss it?"

With a bang.

Liu Zheng finally completely suppressed the Wang Chao before him in terms of momentum.
