Outside the palace, the gentle breeze was blowing the clothes of the students.
Nearly many hours had passed, and there was still no sign of Jin Yiwei taking action. This made everyone who was originally worried feel courageous again.
Not only that, after seeing the prince thundering and raining, more students gathered, and the number of students was already 300.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, if today's incident can be resolved unharmed, they will gain a reputation as a scholar, and their road to officialdom will be smoother in the future.
Of course, it is too early to talk about becoming an official. After all, they have not yet participated in the provincial examination, and they do not even have the status of being a civil servant, but this does not prevent them from looking forward to the future.
While everyone was enjoying the good life, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and there were quite a few sounds.
Who is coming again?
Everyone looked for the sound and saw dozens of cavalry approaching, followed by hundreds of sergeants.
People with sharp eyes have identified the identity of the person through the flags, and then passed the news to those around them.
"They are from Xiaolingwei..."
The Xiaoling Guards are only responsible for guarding the tomb, and even the Jinling Dusi has no right to mobilize them. Why did these people come into the city?
Not only the disciples were puzzled, but the Jin Yiwei present were also confused, and they all speculated about what these people were here to join in the fun.
While everyone was suspicious, Liu Yanqing and his troops had arrived at the palace gate, and they heard him scolding him in a stern tone: "The Taizu spirit is by your side. You are making unwarranted noises and disturbing the mausoleum. Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Hearing this, Jinyiwei's deputy Qianhu looked happy.
Disturbing the great ancestor's mausoleum is really a good crime to arrest someone. Now he doesn't have to worry about making up charges.
"Retreat quickly!" Liu Yanqing's voice became louder and louder.
Behind him, more than two hundred soldiers roared.
"Back off!"
"Back off!"
"Back off!"
The murderous spirit of the army made the students feel despair again.
But if you run away after being scolded, won’t all your previous efforts be in vain?
One of them was heard shouting: "Taizu hates corrupt officials. If we serve the people, how can the spirit of Taizu in heaven not blame us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hated the extent of corrupt officials. He said that no one would be ranked second. No one can deny this.
According to this logic, Zhu Yuanzhang really would not blame the students for asking for orders for the people.
Liu Yanqing wouldn't think about this. He came with a mission, and he would take action if these students didn't leave.
"Zhou Deputy Qianhu disturbed the Taizu's mausoleum. Why don't you arrest these people?"
The reason was so legitimate. Deputy Zhou Qianhu also came with a mission. He had to catch these people if they didn't leave, and the deadline would be noon at the latest.
Now, the sun has risen to its highest point.
Gearing up, Deputy Zhou Qianhu shouted: "Brothers!"
"have!"
"Get someone!"
"yes!"
The captains of the Jin Yiwei stood there for a long time, feeling unhappy for a long time. At this moment, De Ling didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward with sticks in hand.
They didn't care about the scholar's noble status, they kept greeting him or hitting him with his hand, and the sound of crying came directly from the scene.
"Brothers, help get people!" Liu Yanqing also ordered.
While everyone was busy, Liu Yanqing jumped off the horse. He had to enter the palace immediately to meet the prince.
Only when the prince settles this matter can Liu Yanqing really feel at ease.
Compared with the recitation of the scriptures just now, the students' crying and howling was undoubtedly louder, and Zhu Jingyuan could hear it in the dormitory.
"Go and see what's going on!"
After giving the instructions for a while, a eunuch quickly returned and told him the situation outside.
Zhu Jingyuan was mentally prepared for this result, so he seemed relatively calm.
"To report to the Crown Prince, Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Xiaoling Guards, is asking for an audience!"
Pacing back and forth, Zhu Jingyuan only hoped that Zhu Jinghong would come back soon, but he didn't know that he had been tricked.
That's right, Zhu Jinghong, the instigator, does not intend to show up at this moment, and everything will be dominated by the prince.
The prince gets the benefits, but of course it is the prince who takes the blame, so he is destined not to wait for Zhu Jinghong.
"Hurry and invite the Thirteenth Brother!" Zhu Jingyuan looked anxious.
At this moment, several East Palace bachelors entered the hall, and the eunuchs could not stop them even if they wanted to.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards and the Xiaoling Guards are arresting students. What should we do?"
"Although the students have made mistakes, they are ultimately public-minded. The prince cannot abandon them!"
"I also ask the Crown Prince to make a quick decision and resolve the chaos!"
The scholars' words, both implicit and explicit, were telling them not to use force, which conflicted with Zhu Jingyuan's established strategy.
But seeing everyone's sincerity, Zhu Jingyuan could not refute it harshly, so he could only say: "It was the people from Xiaoling Guard who said that the gathering of students disturbed Taizu's mausoleum!"
"If this is true, it is a crime of treason and must be arrested and severely tried!"
Without waiting for anyone to refute, Zhu Jingyuan continued: "The commander of Xiaoling Guards, Qian Shi, is outside the palace. Why not send him to the palace for questioning first? If the situation is true, there is nothing wrong with arresting him!"
"If there's something hidden in it, it won't be too late to let him go!"
These words were well founded and the few bachelors could not refute them, so they had no choice but to invite Liu Yanqing to the palace.
Wearing armor, Liu Yanqing quickly entered the hall, and then knelt down in front of Zhu Jingyuan.
"I, Xiaoling Guards, command the official Liu Yanqing to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Walking up to Liu Yanqing, Zhu Jingyuan asked with a serious expression: "What's going on?"
"Back to the Crown Prince, just now the Thirteenth Master paid homage to Taizu's mausoleum, and suddenly the holy voice of Taizu was heard in the palace..."
Aren't you playing with fire? How come the holy voice of Taizu has come? Zhu Jingyuan was a little stunned.
But he was still not confused, and immediately asked: "The Holy Sound of Taizu?"
"Exactly!"
"What did Grandpa Taizu say?"
Facing the questioning looks from all the scholars, Liu Yanqing answered bravely: "Grandfather Taizu said...it's too noisy outside!"
"So you ordered people to arrest the students?" Zhu Jingyuan asked coldly.
Being involved in such troublesome things, Liu Yanqing's mind was running rapidly at the moment.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, disturbing the mausoleum is a crime of treason. I am dedicated to guarding the mausoleum. How can I not arrest these people who disturb the mausoleum!"
The two of them cooperated with each other, and the logical loop was so seamless that several bachelors could not get in the conversation at all.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
When asked by Zhu Jingyuan, several bachelors wanted to say something, but in the end they held back.
The serious crime of disturbing the mausoleum is definitely against the Yi tribe. It is too risky to speak for these people.
"This is a major matter, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
"Prince please make a decision!"
This is a big matter, please make your own decision... Hearing these words, Zhu Jingyuan was both happy and frightened.
He quickly calmed down, frowned and thought before saying, "Liu Yanqing..."
"I'm here..."
"First arrest the people involved, and then order the Jin Yiwei to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"yes!"
After Liu Yanqing left, Zhu Jingyuan said to several scholars: "I'd like to trouble you all to prepare a memorial for today's events and send it to the capital as soon as possible to show it to His Majesty!"
"yes!"
After several bachelors left, Zhu Jingyuan sat alone in the hall.
He had made many decisions before, but it had never been as exciting as it was today, and it even gave him a taste of the sweetness of "power."
The feeling of reversing black and white and manipulating yin and yang really fascinates Zhu Jingyuan, which is something that is impossible to feel if you follow the rules.
But as the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but its nature is hard to change.
When the pleasure disappeared, Zhu Jingyuan was shrouded in fear again because what happened today was too outrageous.
He was very worried about the sudden change in the imperial court's opinion, and even more worried that the emperor's father would see through the trick, and he would die in an ugly way.
