MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 405 Kill the Confucian on the spot for the truth!

  Chapter 405 Killing a Confucian on the spot for the truth!

  Zhang Gui hurriedly reported: "It is the Li Jin'an who killed the Han women who went to the theater for no reason, and resisted the decree that the people in Chun'an County continue to bind their feet."

  Tianqi nodded after hearing this, and didn't take the Confucian scholars who pleaded for Li Jinan outside seriously.

  Boom!

  But at this time, thunder suddenly came from outside.

  Tian Qi thought for a while, and still told Wei Zhongxian: "You still pass on my will and persuade them to leave. Just say that Li Jin'an will be dealt with impartially. They should not stay outside for a long time. It is not good to be struck to death by lightning."

"yes!"

  Wei Zhongxian walked out.

   Tianqi continued to say here: "I have decided, I will use the name of the Encyclopedia, and you can see if there is anything wrong with the facts I wrote."

"Your Majesty, since you mentioned electricity and explained how the natural phenomenon of electricity occurs, why didn't you mention thunder? And why didn't you mention what I said in the past, thunder is electricity, which is caused by the collision of yin and yang clouds in the sky. Electricity, not really any thunder?"

   Zhang Gui asked.

   Tian Qi hurriedly explained: "I also wanted to write it, but I don't think that what you mentioned has been verified, so it may not be true."

"Although, I followed your advice and tried to install so-called lightning rods in the palaces in the imperial city. As a result, I was indeed not struck by lightning again. In addition, I did find out through verification that most of the people who were struck by lightning were in the wilderness and the trees. Next, but this does not completely mean that thunder is not an artifact of the gods."

   Zhang Gui could only nod his head after hearing this, because he couldn't let Tianqi do Franklin's experiment.

   "We won't leave! If Your Majesty refuses to be merciful, we won't leave for a day, and would rather starve to death here!"

   "As for the so-called thunder at this time, it will kill people, we don't think Lei Gong will be ruthless enough to let us and other honest people be killed by him!"

   "That's right! Please tell Your Majesty, if Lei really wants to kill people, he will only kill treacherous officials, treacherous officials who wantonly murdered great scholars!"

  When Wei Zhongxian came to Daming Gate, in the name of the emperor, he persuaded the Confucian scholars who had interceded for Li Jinan to leave, but these Confucian scholars did not agree to leave, but let the heavy raindrops fall on their faces, and held their heads high.

  Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to go back to Xiyuan Qinzheng Hall and report the matter to Tianqi.

   "They really don't want to leave, and they say that Lei won't kill them?"

   Tianqi asked a question.

  Wei Zhongxian nodded.

   Zhang Gui suddenly had an idea after hearing this, and said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether this thunder is electricity or not, I have a way to prove whether there is a **** in charge of this thunder."

  Tianqi asked after hearing this: "How to prove it?"

Zhang Guiyan said: "It's very simple. Let everyone in the world see whether there is any choice when the thunder strikes people this day. I suggest that Li Jin'an be made to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and use it as an experiment to prove it first. Wrap him with wire, and then add another The lightning rod is on the top of his head, so let him stand in the rain to see if the thunder will strike him! And compare it with him before he was tied with wire."

  Tian Qi became interested after hearing this, and said: "Anyway, this person has already committed a life, and he still resists my order. It's just a matter of trying to show him some kindness."

   As he spoke, Tian Qi ordered Wei Zhongxian: "You do this."

   "Follow the order!"

  So, not long after, Wei Zhongxian asked the official school of Dongchang to tie Li Jinan to stand outside the Daming Gate, and temporarily did not tie iron chains or iron needles to his body.

  The Confucian scholars who were kneeling outside the Daming Gate stood up and bowed to Li Jinan, showing reverence on their faces.

   "Mr. Merlin!"

   "Mr. Merlin, the students have always admired your knowledge, and now I am expressing my feelings to His Majesty for you, which is also the righteousness of the students!"

   "Mr. Merlin, you are not alone, we wish for future generations!"

  The Confucian scholars who came to plead for Li Jinan at this time are all people who are still willing to respect Neo Confucianism.

  Because although Zhang Gui reformed the imperial examination system and no longer respected Neo-Confucianism, he just did not respect Neo-Confucianism, and it was not like Han Yuzhou completely banned Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  Therefore, there are still many Confucian scholars who choose Neo-Confucianism, especially those sons of the gentry who made their fortunes through Neo-Confucianism.

  After the appearance of Li Jinan caused a sensation among these Confucian scholars, Wei Zhongxian stood up at this time: "I ask you and other subjects in the world, is Li Jinan virtuous? Is he upright? Is he loyal and filial?"

  "Mr. Merlin is naturally as tall as Mount Tai, and his body is like a rock. Loyalty and filial piety have long been heard in the world!"

   "That's right! To let His Majesty know that even if Mr. Merlin resists the order, he is only being harmed by others. He is not sincerely resisting the order, but his infidelity cannot be broken. His loyalty and filial piety are enough to show the sun and the moon!"

   "If Mr. Merlin isn't considered a gentleman with high virtue and integrity, I'm afraid everyone in the world will be a villain!"

  …

  The Confucian scholars all praised Li Jinan one after another.

At this time, Tian Qi, who was standing here with Zhang Gui on the tower of Daming Gate, took the experiment record book, looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and said: "Pass the order to Wei Zhongxian, it's almost time, it's time for the next experiment gone."

"yes!"

  So, Wei Zhongxian asked after receiving Tianqi's oral order: "So, will Li Jin'an be struck to death by lightning in this thunderstorm?"

"nature!"

"nature!"

  …

  The Confucian scholars answered.

  One of the bold Confucian scholars even said directly: "Wei Zhongxian, today only you may be struck to death by thunder, but Mr. Merlin cannot be the only one!"

  After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but glance at the person who spoke just now.

   But at this time, other Confucian scholars blocked the Confucian scholar's face, not wanting Wei Zhongxian to see him.

  Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to give up. Thinking of the importance of his emperor's experiment, he sneered angrily and said, "That's good! Come, someone, lift a huge boulder to press the shackles on Li Jinan's body, and no one is allowed to approach him within a radius of three hundred steps!"

"yes!"

So, not long after, a large open space was forcibly cleared by the Dongchang and Jinyiwei people outside the Daming Gate, while Li Jinan was trapped in the middle of this circular open space, washed by the rain, and the sky was already thundering. It makes the sky dim for a while, and bright as day for a while.

  Tian Qi, Zhang Gui, the Confucian scholars below, and the spectators around were all quiet at this moment.

   Except for Tianqi, Zhang Gui, and Wei Zhongxian, no one else knew what the imperial court was going to do to Li Jinan.

However, just when the Confucian scholars outside and the spectators were puzzled, suddenly a lightning bolt as bright as splitting the pitch-black sky landed accurately on the iron needle on Li Jinan's head, and then it was burnt in a moment. The whole body of Li Jinan.

  Li Jinan fell to the ground without saying a word, still smoking.

"how so?"

   "Why did the sky thunder strike Mr. Merlin?"

   "What's wrong with Mr. Merlin?"

  The Confucian scholars who were very fans of Li Jinan were stunned.

Lu Shanji, who also came to Daming Gate to intercede for Li Jinan, was even more inconceivable, and suddenly thought of a terrible result, he couldn't help but pretend to be amazed and asked: "Thunder Lord only kills unfaithful and unfilial villains. Is Mr. Merlin really a hypocrite?!"
