Chapter 206: The character of intellectuals can make a country prosperous, but cannot save a country
Lin Heng and Zhang Julu are both smart people, and neither of them will beat around the bush.
Zhang Julu directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Congratulations to Xiaoyao Sword Immortal for his breakthrough. However, the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that when Xiaoyao Sword Immortal made his breakthrough, Liyang's national fortune plummeted. At that time, I guessed that Xiaoyao Sword Immortal might have some prejudice against Liyang."
"The Liyang Dynasty is the Liyang of countless people. There are countless civilians and many innocent people in it. Xiaoyao Sword Immortal cut off the fate of the country for a moment of arrogance. Can you think about it again?"
Lin Heng shook his head slightly, disagreeing with Zhang Julu's words.
This old fox is confusing concepts!
"The Liyang Dynasty belongs to the entire Liyang, there is nothing wrong with that, but what I want to destroy is the Zhao family's kingdom. How can you sit firmly on the throne when you have no morals or ability?"
"Or can they just write off what they did and I can't go after them?"
"The emperor has great power. He has used this power to suppress me for so long, and now you are trying to persuade me to make peace?"
Zhang Julu was speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to win Lin Heng's sympathy, but now he saw that Lin Heng knew everything and his mind was as clear as a mirror.
From beginning to end, every little move that Li Yang made was under his control.
"Xiaoyao Sword Immortal is wise. Perhaps some things are indeed misunderstandings. If the Zhao family's kingdom is shaken, then the Qiyi will be in turmoil again."
"It was not easy to establish the Liyang Dynasty. Over hundreds of years, countless people have worked hard and managed to achieve today's achievements."
"Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's Sword of Mountains and Rivers can protect the world's peace. Why can't you show mercy and let Li Yang go?"
"Moreover, with Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's current strength, it is enough to shock any force. Li Yang is willing to befriend Xiaoyao Sword Immortal and treat him as a guest of honor."
After Zhang Julu said this, Lin Heng suddenly found it a little ridiculous.
"I have long heard that Prime Minister Zhang is a man of letters, and no one in the world can compare with him. Today I see that he is indeed so, and he actually took the initiative to take on this task and save the collapsing building."
"It's just that the character of scholars can make a country prosperous, but it can't save a country from decline!"
"I believe that Prime Minister Zhang has a sincere heart for the country and the people, but I, Lin Heng, am just a layman. I only care about the people around me. You have seen what happened to Dao Zong. I don't like killing people, but I don't like my own people being killed even more."
Zhang Julu's body shook violently. He had been thinking about it for so long and originally thought that it was because someone in Li Yang had offended Lin Heng, perhaps because of the resentment caused by the incident at Longhu Mountain.
As long as it doesn't get to the point of a life-and-death struggle, it should still be salvageable.
But after Lin Hengyi said this, Zhang Julu roughly understood it.
I'm afraid that the people who planned this together with Dao Zong were actually the Li Yang royal family, and that His Majesty also had a hand in this.
At this moment, Zhang Julu felt despair. He didn't know what was the point of his trip. There was no room for maneuver in this matter.
Lin Heng is a man who does not love money or fame. He became famous at a young age and is still at the peak of his career, with no one in the world able to rival him.
For someone like him, there is no reason to feel wronged, nor is there any reason to give up his obsession.
“I roughly understand what Xiaoyao Sword Immortal said, but Li Yang’s foundation is ultimately related to too many things. If it is shaken by a storm, I’m afraid the world will be in turmoil and everyone in the world will be divided!”
People from Shangyin Academy surrounded the place in three layers, and they were all watching the excitement.
Some people wanted to guess what Zhang Julu said, but they seemed unable to hear clearly.
"What's going on? I can't seem to hear what they are saying. But it seems that Prime Minister Zhang's face looks a little ugly, and Xiaoyao Sword Immortal keeps shaking his head."
"Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's martial arts are so high, it would be too easy for him to prevent us from eavesdropping!"
"But this time, I'm afraid something really big must have happened, otherwise they wouldn't have talked for so long."
Xu Weixiong also frowned tightly. With her intelligence, she probably guessed what their conversation was about.
But no one can tell what Lin Heng's decision is. Xu Weixiong couldn't send a message rashly, but she felt in her heart that Lin Heng would not just let it go.
Zhang Julu's mouth was almost sparking with what he said, but Lin Heng just looked at him and finally asked the disciple of the Confucian sect to pour him a cup of tea.
"Prime Minister Zhang, you must be tired. Why don't you sit down and take a rest? Actually, I have thought of what you said, but Liyang is not the only one with the surname Zhao. Isn't it the same for everyone who controls the country?"
"I will not hinder the development of Tianming. In fact, if you don't touch those disciples of Xueyue City, I will never intentionally oppose you. It's a pity that there is no if in this world."
"Sometimes being a smart guy doesn't do any good. I advise you to go back soon and explain the situation to them. Maybe you can gather the most troops to stop me."
"Or call out the most powerful masters who are guarding Tai'an City, or assassinate me, or challenge me openly. Killing me is the best way to solve the problem once and for all. Isn't it much better than wasting your breath here?"
After hearing what Lin Heng said, Zhang Julu suddenly shut up. He looked at Lin Heng deeply and finally sighed.
"Xiaoyao Sword Immortal, the situation is like this. Even the most aggressive person in the world would choose to endure it and give peace to the people of the world. Why would you settle the grievances of one person at the cost of chaos in the world?"
Lin Heng suddenly stood up, and the fake smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
He said coldly.
"Because I, Lin Heng, am highly skilled in martial arts, strong, and protective of my shortcomings, I will never compromise. If a major chaos occurs and the situation becomes unsolvable, I will take action to calm it down and take full responsibility for my actions, but I must vent my anger."
Zhang Julu had never seen such a person, even Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang who was known as the butcher of men. Even though he knew that there was something fishy about his wife's death, for the sake of stability in the world and unity of the people, he did not easily start a war and shake the foundation of the country.
Although Lin Heng seemed to be smiling and easy to get along with on the surface, he was actually ruthless and persistent.
No one can change his mind.
After realizing this, Zhang Julu suddenly stopped trying to persuade Lin Heng.
"In that case, I won't bother Xiaoyao Sword Immortal any more. I'll take my leave now."
This was the first time that Zhang Julu felt this deep sense of powerlessness. He took on the task in front of all the civil and military officials, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
Zhang Julu had Princess Suizhu taken care of and taken her away with him. The whole process only took two hours.
The disciples of Shangyin Academy were confused again.
"Leaving now?"
