Jinyiwei and Xiaolingwei took the people and handled the matter very quickly.
In less than ten minutes, more than 300 students were tied up, their mouths stuffed with socks or rags, and taken away.
Zheng Xianlin and others who had not yet left witnessed the whole process on the tower, which shocked them deeply.
The person arrested below is no one else, but a student with three hundred academic achievements.
In this era where everything is inferior and only education is high, students naturally exist in a transcendental way.
There is no doubt that what happened today will cause waves in Jinling and even the entire world, and may even trigger a political strife.
Zheng Xianlin and others were concerned about personal honor and disgrace, but Zhou Yan was the only one who felt sad for the students and was sad that this move would harm the cultural context of Jinling.
But to be honest, Zhou Yan has done everything he should do, and he can actually have a clear conscience.
"Let's go see the prince!"
Everyone went down the tower together and happened to meet He Gujin who was coming.
Zheng Xianlin was concerned about the status of the trial, so he immediately asked, and everyone else also listened with open ears.
Zheng Xianlin was not surprised at all when he learned that Qian and Liu were out of luck.
Now that these two people have appeared, Zheng Xianlin plans to kill them because of the students causing trouble today.
"By the way, where are the students gathered?" He Gujin looked confused.
There was a lot of commotion in the morning, why are all the people gone now?
Academician Zhou Yan said: "Master He, the people from Jinyi Guard and Xiaoling Guard arrested all the students for disturbing the tomb of Taizu!"
"Disturbed Taizu's mausoleum?" He Gujin was a little surprised.
The mausoleum of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is at least five miles away from the palace gate, and there are several city walls in between. It is a bit far-fetched to disturb it.
This prince is so courageous... He Gujin sighed in his heart.
Zhu Jingyuan was the eldest son and naturally had the support of the scholar-bureaucrats, so his position as prince was stable.
Now that Zhu Jingyuan is attacking scholars, he is completely severing himself from the scholar-bureaucrat class, which is tantamount to digging for the foundation of his position as prince.
Of course, it's the lesser of two evils, which also shows that Zhu Jingyuan's status is now unstable and he no longer cares so much about getting things done.
Seeing that everyone was still talking nonsense, Zheng Xianlin said: "Let's go, let's go see the prince!"
When they arrived outside the dormitory, they learned that the prince was not here, and the eunuchs could not tell where he had gone.
Zheng and He could not do anything without seeing the prince for advice, so they chose to wait.
They didn't leave, and the other officials stayed behind. They also wanted to know what would happen next.
At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan was no longer in the palace, but came to Xiaoling.
He was also very panicked, so he came to Zhu Jinghong to discuss what to do next.
"Thirteenth brother, why did it take so long?"
"Fourth brother, we have to take care of things here, otherwise the old man will send people to investigate and leak the information and it will be over!"
This is of course an excuse, because the emperor will not investigate this matter strictly.
If it is found out that his son is making fun of his ancestors, his face as a father will be tarnished, and he is asking for trouble.
Of course, Zhu Jingyuan believed this reason, so he didn't delve into it further.
"What's next?"
"Once the case against the Inspector is pronounced, and the arresting officials are arrested, no one in Jinling will dare to violate the law!"
"Fourth brother can use the power of Jinling to kill all the Japanese pirates!"
The beautiful blueprint has been drawn and is just waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to realize it.
And when the army mobilizes, it's when Zhu Jinghong shows off his grand ambitions. That's where he really needs to show off.
The support of civil servants and officials has been divided between the prince and Lao Liu. It is impossible for anyone to support him, so Zhu Jinghong targeted the noble military generals.
Only by participating in the war can he prove his abilities and be recognized by noble generals.
Otherwise, he will always be a domineering prince with a slightly clever personality at most, which will be extremely detrimental to his climb to the throne.
While the two brothers were discussing, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the chief envoy Anchasi and all the officials are here to see you!"
"Fourth brother, let's go back, it's time to end!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
"Let's go!"
When Zhu Jinghong and his two men returned to the dormitory, Zhao Xuyan, the censor of the patrol capital, also arrived. He woke up at the right time.
Everyone in the officialdom has a network of contacts, which is also a network of information. People with connected interests on the Internet will spontaneously spread the news to those who should know.
The top of the information chain is naturally a group of senior officials in Jinling.
The political counselors, counselors, and deputy envoys from the Second Department of Fan Zhen arrived one after another, including Qian Ruiming and Liu Deyan.
The so-called taking advantage of the situation, at this extremely critical moment, all the senior officials came to the palace, and an informal meeting became the highest-level meeting in Jinling.
Everyone knew that the next discussion was very critical, related to the work style of various yamen in Jinling, and even the honor and disgrace of many high-ranking officials, so they had to be present.
However, the strange thing is that a dozen senior Jinling officials gathered outside the hall, but no one spoke.
Although they are colleagues who have worked together for many years, they are wary of each other at the moment, and how can they speak with heavy hearts.
So everyone waited like this until Zhu Jinghong returned to the dormitory.
"My lords, the Crown Prince is back, please come into the palace!"
After hearing the eunuch's message, all the officials tidied up their appearance, lined up according to their rank, and walked up the steps to the main hall.
Entering the main hall, I saw Zhu Jingyuan already sitting on the main seat, with Zhu Jinghong standing beside him.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No gift!"
There needs to be an explanation for what happened today, so before anyone could ask questions, Zhu Jingyuan said, "Do you all know that students gathered today and disturbed Taizu's mausoleum?"
This statement is tantamount to confirming that the students did disturb the mausoleum.
"I know it!" Zheng Xianlin, the chief envoy, said.
Zhu Jingyuan sighed and said with a look of regret: "Jin Yiwei has arrested someone and is now interrogating him. I will ignore this matter for the time being. There will be results later..."
His expression was not an act, he really felt sorry for the students.
Zhu Jinghong stood aside. The two county magistrates had learned from their mistakes. No one interrupted Zhu Jingyuan at this moment.
He said to put it aside and ignore it, and others could only agree.
Only Qian Ruiming and Liu Deyan felt uneasy at this time, and their faces had become unsightly.
"He Gujin..."
"I'm here!"
"Have the facts of your case been cleared up?"
He Gujin solemnly replied: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, the facts of the case have been sorted out. Hu Jinan embezzled money and food from the government treasury and persecuted the people to extort money. The evidence is conclusive!"
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, the verdict will be announced tomorrow... The Chief Secretary and the Inspector General will send people to listen to the interrogation!" Zhu Jingyuan glanced around.
"I accept your order!"
Zheng Xianlin and Zhao Xuyan expressed their opinions one after another, and the matter was about to be settled.
"Prince, I have something to say!" Liu Deyan finally couldn't help it.
Zhu Jingyuan looked at him and said, "Say!"
"Today, the trial judge is listening in. The facts of the case are not clear, and the twists and turns have not yet been sorted out. I am afraid that the verdict will not be pronounced tomorrow!"
Some people had the courage to raise questions. The two brothers had already predicted this situation, and Zhu Jingyuan did not panic at all.
"Although there are twists and turns, we can also try it together tomorrow. What Gu wants to say is...the case must be pronounced tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Liu Deyan stepped back.
"If there is nothing else, we will stop here today. You all can go back!"
Without waiting for anyone to react, Zhu Jingyuan stood up and left. Even if everyone wanted to speak, they had no chance.
This discussion was very important, but it didn't seem to involve much discussion, but it changed the situation tremendously.
