In the not-so-wide alley, a large group of officials in various official robes all looked at Chen Yi, who was standing in the corner with a pale face, expecting this old man to come forward to deliver justice.
After all, Jin Yiwei would never dare to touch the old man even if he tried to be cruel.
Facing such a scene, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, the young censors just refused to listen to the advice and even forced their way forward in front of him and Yu Qian, which really made him extremely unhappy.
But even so, he still couldn't completely sit back and watch the current situation.
After all, no matter how fierce the conflict between him and the censors was, it was still an internal conflict.
The nature of Jin Yiwei's intervention now is different from before.
As the leader of Feng Xian, it would be unjustifiable if Jin Yiwei arrested someone in front of him without saying a word.
After letting out a gentle breath, he and Yu Qian pushed aside the Jinyi guards in front of them, walked slowly to Lu Zhong, and spoke.
"Commander Lu, as an official of the science and education, it is his duty to admonish the offenders and correct the emperor. Although these people behave inappropriately, they will not be arrested and sent to prison. This move does hinder the smooth flow of speech. If there is any suspicion, please commander be careful."
Although Yu Qian said nothing, standing together with Chen Yi was actually a statement.
Facing these two big guys, Lu Zhong looked serious, but he didn't make any concessions. He cupped his hands and said.
"Chen Zongxian, Yu Shaobao, and the Jin Yiwei have always acted according to His Majesty's will and not asked about anything else. If you two have any dissatisfaction, you can enter the palace at any time to meet with His Majesty to express your feelings. As long as His Majesty's orders are given, the Jin Yiwei will be there. Follow.”
As he said that, Lu Zhong glanced coldly at the censors who were still trying to make a fuss. The group of people suddenly fell silent, as if they had seen some savage beast.
Immediately, Lu Zhong waved his right hand, and there was another "噌噌噌噌" sound, and the embroidered spring knives of the Jinyi guards were sheathed one after another.
Then, the cavalry surrounding the censors retreated like a tide and quickly lined up behind Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong turned to Chen Yi again and said politely.
"In addition, I need to clarify something. The reason for arresting Luo Tong, I have made it clear, is because he harbors resentment, hopes to advance, forms cliques, confuses the public with lies, incites ministers, and invites names to buy straight."
"My commander is here for no other reason than to arrest Luo Tong. As for the others, as long as they do not hinder the Jin Yiwei from handling the case, you are free to remonstrate or impeach."
"My lords are all officials of the imperial court. You must be careful what you say. The royal guards cannot afford to be charged with blocking the way of speech and obstructing the incoming of remonstrances. No, the palace gate will be opened soon. Everyone, please go over at this time. If you want to It’s still too late to do anything.”
"I am here as commander and have no intention of interfering in the government's affairs. Please give me your permission."
After saying that, Lu Zhong cupped his hands and turned to leave.
At this time, Yu Qian on the side suddenly spoke and said.
"Commander Lu, the Jinyi Guards are taking someone, do you have a driving ticket?"
According to the regulations, although Jin Yiwei was acting under orders, if he wanted to arrest officials, he needed a driving license issued by the Criminal Division to be considered a violation.
Lu Zhong turned around with a smile and took out an official document from his arms, but instead of handing it to Yu Qian's hand, he unfolded it and held it high.
"Here's the post. This commander has never violated any rules. Well, you all have business to do, so I won't interrupt you."
After that, Jin Yiwei picked up Luo Tong and walked away in a swaggering manner.
Only a bunch of bewildered censors were left, still standing there.
It wasn't until the group of Jinyi Tiqi turned a corner and disappeared completely that a group of censors slowly came to their senses and hesitantly tried to explore.
"Lord Zongxian..."
Although Lu Zhong's words just now were polite, there was no doubt that they pushed back both Chen Yi and Yu Qian.
Therefore, Chen Yi was obviously not in a good mood at the moment and glared at them, feeling annoyed.
"What are you still gathering here for? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
After saying that, Mr. Chen's expression softened a bit, he sighed, turned around and spoke to Yu Qian.
"Tingyi, I may have to ask you to follow me to the palace to ask for the details about today's matter."
Yu Qian nodded and said, "Mr. Zong Xian is being polite. This is as it should be."
With that said, Yu Qian spoke to the anxious censors below.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. I and Zong Xian will go into the palace right away to ask for details. It's almost dawn, so everyone should leave quickly. Don't delay the appointment."
After seeing Jin Yiwei's arrogant expression just now, and without Luo Tong as the leader, this group of people was already thinking of quitting.
At this moment, I saw the General Xian with a straight face but still wanted to go to the palace to plead for mercy, and I saw Yu Shaobao soothingly soothing me.
The censors were almost moved to tears, and they all blamed themselves for their inappropriate behavior just now, and unanimously handed it over.
"I'm sorry to Mr. Zong Xian and Yu Shaobao. I'll go back to the Yamen and keep a good watch. I won't cause any more trouble to you two."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, gentlemen."
"I just offended you, and I really shouldn't have done so. I apologize to you two."
There was a sound of apology, and everyone bowed and saluted, then turned around in twos and threes and turned towards the direction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After everyone had left, Chen Yi and Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time, remembering the tacit cooperation between the two of them just now.
Chen Yi said: "Excuse me, Tingyi, I still have to go to the palace. His Majesty has asked me to come to the palace immediately to report the matter if the matter can be successfully resolved. Since you are involved, I am afraid you have to make a trip."
Just now, they said they wanted to plead for Luo Tong, which was just a show of force.
Since they became aware of Luo Tong's plan, both Chen Yi and Luo Tong felt from the bottom of their hearts that Luo Tong deserved his punishment.
plead?
This guy has caused so much trouble for them, so it would be a good thing if he doesn't step on him!
But the cutscenes that need to be made must still be made.
Yu Qian also understood this in his heart. He immediately nodded and ordered the soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to return to the Yamen on their own. Then he and Chen Yi hurried towards the palace city.
At the same time, the sky gradually became brighter.
As the morning bell rang, the palace door was slowly pushed open, ushering in a new day in the Forbidden City.
By the Jinshui Bridge, a cold wind blew by. Gao Gu and seven or eight Hanlin officials stood alone, looking like fools.
Seeing that the sun was almost coming out, Peng Shi on the side couldn't bear it anymore, approached Gaogu and said.
"Teacher, are they plotting against you and deliberately not coming?"
Gao Gu's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his expression was irritable. He thought for a while and said.
"Wait for one more stick of incense. If no one comes, just pretend that nothing happened today and go back to the Yamen."
Luo Tong and the others couldn't wait any longer, but another person arrived.
Shortly after the palace gate opened, a group of fans suddenly appeared from the direction of Donghua Gate. There were about fifty or sixty people, surrounded by a sedan, and headed straight for Gao Gu and others.
The sedan curtain was opened, and Shu Liang, who was wearing a python robe, cupped his hands with a fake smile and said.
"Hey, it's so early in the morning. Mr. Cifu is outside the palace gate, but who is he waiting for?"
Gao Gu's face stiffened for a while, and he looked at Shu Liang's back. He felt uneasy in his heart, and managed to squeeze out a smile and said.
"There are some official matters that have not been dealt with. I thought I would go in and deal with them as soon as the palace door opens, so as not to delay His Majesty's visit."
The office of the cabinet is located in the palace city, which is quite reasonable.
but……
Shu Liang looked across the high valley and focused on the Hanlin official behind him, and asked.
"Sir Cifu is really diligent in his work, but these adults also want to go to the cabinet?"
Takagu paused for a moment, his expression a little unsightly.
Of course, Shu Liang didn't point at him to answer. With a wave of his hand, the fans behind him surrounded Gao Gu and the others, and then Shu Liang spoke.
"No matter whether the adults are waiting for someone or have some official business, I'm afraid they all have to be put on hold for a while. His Majesty has spoken and summoned all the adults to come to the palace to see you. Don't delay. Just come with our family."
