Several young men in cloth clothes at the tea stall shook their heads and sighed when they heard this.
"Have you heard? The young man who went there that day ended badly."
"It is said that he fell in a pool of blood at that time, with only air coming out and no air coming in!"
"If the Prime Minister hadn't come to my aid in time, I might not have survived that day!"
"Oh, it's too cruel..."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang's curiosity was completely aroused.
"Fourth, did you go to the Prime Minister's birthday party that day?"
"Dad, my son is gone."
"What happened that day?"
"That day... Oh! Dad, you will know after listening to it."
With deep curiosity, Emperor Liang continued to listen to the storyteller.
"...Since it is the birthday banquet of the prime minister, there are naturally not a few dignitaries who come to celebrate his birthday."
"In the crowd, there is the son of a second-grade official, a standard rich man."
"It was such a pampered and noble-born young man who attacked that poor scholar who was as small as a grain of sesame seed."
"The reason is simply because he dislikes the fact that the scholar comes from a humble background and is unable to enter the elegant hall. He does not stand side by side with a noble son like him..."
Emperor Liang frowned slightly.
"Fourth, did these all happen that day?"
Song Huan looked sad and did not answer Liang Emperor's question directly. Instead, he pointed at several young people on the other tables in the tea stall.
All of them were seen clenching their fists, with veins popping out on their foreheads, as if they were extremely angry because of this matter.
"We can't choose our parents, we can't choose our origin, but is it because we come from a humble background that no matter what we do, it is wrong?"
"We want to use our own efforts to transcend social classes. Is it an unattainable dream that cannot be realized in this life?"
"Why?"
"We are not convinced!"
"We are not convinced!"
"We have read poetry and books for more than ten years, and we also want to realize some of our ideals and ambitions!"
“We don’t want to be oppressed everywhere anymore, and we don’t want to walk on the street without any reason and suffer such unreasonable disasters!”
Although these young people were dressed simply, they all held their heads high and refused to lower their heads.
They are at the bottom of society, but when they look up at the stars, they have the loftiest ideals.
That is the shining brilliance that cannot be obscured no matter how the nobles suppress it!
Looking at these high-spirited young people, Emperor Liang couldn't help being shocked.
"well!"
"This is the spirit that young people in Daliang should have, and this is the unyielding character that scholars in Daliang should have!"
"Fourth, tell me, what exactly happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?"
Facing Emperor Liang's questioning, Song Huan became a little hesitant.
"that……"
"Dad, you have been entangled in trivial matters recently and are really overworked."
"My son doesn't have to talk about such insignificant little things, it will taint your hearing!"
Seeing Song Huan's somewhat abnormal behavior, the expression on Emperor Liang's face became more solemn.
"You are not a person who likes to hold back on words. You always say what you have to say."
"What you are doing now is really not like what you usually do!"
"what happened?"
Song Huan had no choice but to tell Emperor Liang the whole thing from beginning to end.
It's just that the words of description add a little bit of oil and a little bit of vinegar.
After finishing speaking, Song Huan did not forget to add a few worried words.
"The recent rebellion of horse bandits in Liangzhou, coupled with the incident of Xia State's envoy, has really made you very upset."
"My son was reluctant to say it just now because he was afraid that it would make you even more unhappy and cause trouble in your heart!"
After listening to Song Huan's description, Emperor Liang was slightly angry.
Hearing that the horse bandits and the Xia Kingdom were getting together again, Emperor Liang's anxiety suddenly burst out.
"good!"
"Haha, very good!"
"This is my famous family in Daliang, and they use their power to bully others to such an extent!"
"As time goes by, are they afraid that even the current emperor will not take them seriously?"
"Emperor?" The young man on the side heard the voice of Emperor Liang and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Uncle, you are really right!"
"That guy Zheng Yuan has been doing evil for many days. He often takes advantage of his identity as the prince's cousin and grandmaster's grandson to seize the girls of the people at will and do whatever he wants!"
“When I see a common person or vendor on the street who doesn’t like me, I’ll beat him or scold him at every turn!”
"He said it himself, even if the current emperor knew about this, he would not do anything to him!"
"Tell me, does he still have the royal law in his eyes?"
"Is there any dignity or inferiority?"
"well!"
Emperor Liang's face was very pale, especially after hearing the young scholar's words, he couldn't help but feel the blood surge!
"Fourth, has this man named Zheng Yuan been taken to Dali Temple?"
Song Huan did not tell Emperor Liang about the second half of the incident. He only said that Zheng Yuan was taken into Dali Temple and was still waiting to be punished.
"Yes, Zhou Jue, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, has fulfilled his duties and has taken Zheng Yuan into Dali Temple."
"According to Daliang law, it should have been dealt with early this morning."
Emperor Liang's face was very ugly. He felt a little relieved when he heard that Zheng Yuan was taken to Dali Temple to await his death.
"In that case, let's go to Dali Temple."
"I want to see with my own eyes how arrogant this man named Zheng Yuan is, and how much he has aroused the anger of scholars!"
Emperor Liang's move played into Song Huan's heart.
The group of people boarded the carriage again and drove towards Dali Temple in the east of the city.
In the carriage, Emperor Liang kept a gloomy face and said nothing. He seemed to be still immersed in what he had just seen and heard, and could not come back to his senses.
"Fourth, I have not been out on patrol incognito for many years. I only want to say that the people in the capital live and work in peace and contentment. The people live a prosperous life and are singing and dancing everywhere."
"But you are right. Everything I know is just what the officials in the DPRK and China want me to hear and see."
"If I didn't come out of the palace and see the real appearance of this market with my own eyes, how would I know what happened today!"
"It seems that from now on, it is necessary for me to go out for a walk more often!"
Song Huan listened silently and only comforted Emperor Liang not to worry too much and to focus on the health of the dragon's body.
Everything that Emperor Liang saw today was just what Song Huan had asked Song Liang to arrange in advance.
To be fair, it can be considered a very mild content!
If Emperor Liang himself were to conduct a private visit incognito and experience the authentic sentiments of the people, who knows what he would encounter that would be beyond expectations.
While the two were chatting, the carriage had already arrived near Dali Temple.
Emperor Liang raised the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside. Unconsciously, he became angry again.
"Fourth brother, come and help me take a look."
"Who is that person kneeling in front of Dali Temple?"
