I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 654 Mutation.

Yu Shouye has maintained this elegant expression since he entered the hall.

Even though he was just a background figure, the arrogance on his face never changed.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Yu Shouye slowly opened his folding fan, gently shook it twice, and then spoke,

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made instructions for this trip. You seniors are the foundation of the Nine Provinces. The royal family should accept the result of the discussion."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.

As the saying goes, ask for a high price and bargain low.

The reason they went so far was to give the royal family room for bargaining.

After all, both parties want to cooperate, not really fall out.

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, they heard Yu Shouye say,

"But before that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gave two instructions, which I need to mention first."

As soon as the words fell, a look of realization appeared in the eyes of the people from the Baijia family.

Sure enough, there is another purpose.

However, this made everyone even more alert, and they guessed that what the man in front of them was going to say next would definitely not be simple.

Yu Shouye seemed very satisfied with the expressions of the crowd at this time. He swept his eyes around and finally landed on the seat of the Confucianists. He closed his fan and clasped his fists in one breath, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice,

"First, the great scholar Bo Xi assassinated the prince of Yan, and then Mr. Min Ju colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, attempting to overthrow our Daxing Empire."

"I don't know how the Confucianists are going to give an explanation to your majesty, the crown prince, and the people of this world about this matter."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hundred families looked like they were enjoying a good show.

The three great scholars' expressions changed instantly. The youngest-looking great scholar said,

"As the saying goes, when a person dies, his debts are forgiven. What is your intention in bringing this up again?"

This great scholar was named Du Tao, and was known for his outspokenness.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw the question back to Yu Shouye and didn't respond to the other party's moves at all. He can be regarded as a two-faced person.

Yu Shouye glanced at Du Tao calmly, pretending to be embarrassed, and said after hesitating for a moment,

"Oh, debts are settled when a person dies? Ridiculous..."

However, before he finished speaking, his expression froze for a moment, and he immediately changed the subject.

"Well, what Du Daru said makes sense, so let's write off the matter."

Immediately, everyone was stunned.

You look so aggressive and ready to bring an army to hold someone accountable, but you just give in with just one word from him?

Just when everyone was confused, they heard Yu Shouye say,

"We have finished the Confucian matter. Now, let's talk about the second matter."

"The Yin-Yang family colluded with the enemy and committed treason. The affairs of the Hundred Families should be resolved by the Hundred Families themselves. I wonder how you will explain this matter?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was drawn to this matter and they no longer thought about Yu Shouye's strange behavior just now.

Du Tao was feeling somewhat proud at this time. After all, in his opinion, the royal family's compromise was justified.

In fact, nearly 90% of the officials in the court were Confucianists.

Even the current left prime minister Lu Chongyun was no exception.

However, these people are not recognized by Confucianism.

Only those disciples who have been taught by great Confucian scholars or have studied under the sages are called Confucian disciples.

The rest of the scholars can only call themselves Confucian scholars.

"The reason why the Yin-Yang family dared to do such a rebellious thing is that the royal family has nurtured a tiger to cause trouble. The responsibilities we have assigned to each family this time will just prevent such things from happening again."

Du Tao looked up and talked freely.

Everyone from the hundreds of families nodded, obviously agreeing with what he said.

The royal family wanted to distance themselves from the Hundred Schools of Thought, but ended up reaping the consequences. This incident with the Yin-Yang School made the royal family realize the importance of the Hundred Schools of Thought to Jiuzhou.

"That's right. If it weren't for the connivance of the royal family, how could a school that hasn't seen a return to the void in a hundred years achieve this?"

"Heh, you stole the chicken but lost the rice, and now you still have the nerve to shout."

"If the doctors hadn't intervened, the chaos would have been even worse."

Everyone in the hall responded.

And all the credit for the incident in Nancheng was attributed to the doctor.

Of course, it is unknown what the real intention behind this statement is.

After all, although the doctors helped, they also violated the agreement of non-interference.

Yu Shouye listened to the ridicule of the crowd without refutation, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the younger generations of the hundreds of families had finished discussing their ideas, he said in a leisurely tone,

"What you said makes sense, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have a suggestion."

"Proposal? Tell me about it."

At this time, there was only one voice in the hall, coming from the seats of the younger generation of the Legalist family.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a rat-like face, triangular eyes and a hooked nose. He was the type that looked very cunning at first glance.

Li Mu then realized that the people who were making noises and mocking him seemed to be the disciples of the two schools of military strategy.

Although the other disciples from the hundred schools occasionally interrupted, they were mostly glared at by their elders and then kept silent.

As for the disciples of the military strategists and the strategicists, they had been distributed among the various schools in the hall without anyone noticing.

That's why it looked like the whole place was in uproar.

what is this?

Mouth replacement?

The other hundred families are all proud of their status and will not make sarcastic remarks casually.

Is that why you allow these disciples of the two schools of military strategy to behave like this?

At this time, Yu Shouye walked forward from his seat to the center of the hall, looked around at everyone, and said slowly,

"The Crown Prince has ordered that, effective immediately, the Supervisory Office will be established. All disciples of the Hundred Schools must be registered and managed by the royal family. Since they are all common people of our Xing Dynasty, they should no longer enjoy special privileges."

"The expertise of the various schools should have benefited the people, but they were kept to themselves and became a cancer that brought disaster to the people."

"From now on, all inheritances will be sent to the palace and uniformly allocated by the Ministry of Supervision. This will not only benefit the people, but also prevent the situation where one family dominates. What do you think?"

"Bastard, do you know what you are talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Tao was the first one who couldn't sit still and immediately slammed the table and stood up.

But more people remained silent, and they looked at Yu Shouye as if he was a fool.

Li Mu was a little confused. He had just thought that if things continued like this, the royal family and the various families would eventually fight each other. He did not expect that his words would come true.

But Li Mu didn’t quite understand where the royal family got the confidence from.

According to Li Mu's idea, even if he wanted to deal with them, he would defeat them one by one. What does this mean now?

Why choose this kind of grand gathering where hundreds of people gather, and then send a strange person out to say something?

If the hundreds of families turn against each other, the royal family may never have to leave the palace again.

After all, in Li Mu's opinion, as long as a person's fighting power is high enough, if he can't beat you, he can just kill you. There's no need to go through so much trouble.

Wasn’t this the simplest method used by the three brothers of Prince Yan when they rebelled? How could they not understand it?

Just as Li Mu was puzzled, his nose twitched slightly and his eyes subconsciously glanced down at his feet.

As if he had noticed something, he suddenly looked at Yu Shouye and said in ventriloquy,

"No, take this man down quickly!"

At the same time, Li Mu had also rushed out.

But because Shan Yuan was watching, Li Mu did not use his full strength. He only used the level of Hua Jin that he had deliberately let Shan Yuan see before.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

The ground where Yu Shouye was standing suddenly cracked and his figure disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, several sounds of machinery starting up were heard all around.

The iron doors and windows of the house were lowered, and the hall instantly became pitch black, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

"It's a fraud, everyone be careful!"

"Humph, what a small trick!"

"Teacher... um~"

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

The hall suddenly became chaotic, with only the sound of people being attacked and falling to the ground.

At this time, a voice full of energy came from the direction of the doctor's seat, temporarily covering the noise in the hall.

"Everyone, be careful. There is a drug in this hall that can seal a person's energy. I have the antidote. Everyone... poof!"
