Something happened to Xia Yuanji?
Zhu Gaojie, who was originally very tired from giving the old man acupuncture, was shocked when he heard this.
Then his face became very ugly and he suddenly stood up.
"Come in!"
The one who came to report outside the door was Shen Qingyu, the Jin Yiwei sent by Zhu Gaojie to protect the Academy.
He looked anxious at the moment, but he still saluted meticulously after entering the palace.
"Okay," Zhu Gaojie waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite at this time, and asked in a deep voice:
"What did you say?"
"What happened over there, Mr. Xia?"
Although Zhu Gaojie looked very tired at this time, his words still had a calming meaning.
Shen Qingyu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly replied:
"His Royal Highness, I was assigned to protect the Academy of Literature. Today, for unknown reasons, a large number of Confucian scholars suddenly came and surrounded the Academy. They were very excited and uttered arrogant words to harm Mr. Xia..."
After listening to Shen Qingyu's report, Tang Cheng was shocked.
He is very clear about the importance of the Academy of Literature and Old Minister Xia to His Highness the Crown Prince!
These Confucian scholars dared to attack the Academy of Arts, and they simply took the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage! How dare you make trouble on something that is most important to His Highness the Crown Prince!
Tang Cheng's face flashed with anger, and he was about to speak when he heard Zhu Gaojie had already spoken:
"It's just a few hundred weak and unarmed Confucian students. Can't the guards of the Academy of Arts stop them?"
"Even if they can't stop them, what about the guardhouse near Wenyuan?"
"At the beginning, I transferred thousands of soldiers from the three major battalions, all of whom were elites, in order to prevent Youxiaoxiao from causing trouble near the Academy of Literature!"
"Could it be that even they can't stop these helpless Confucian scholars?"
Zhu Gaojie asked three questions in a row, each one in a harsher tone. By the end of the question, his tone had become a little angry!
"Why is it that you, the royal guard, are rushing here to report the news now!"
Beads of sweat continued to appear on Shen Qingyu's face, and the back of his heart was filled with clammy coldness. He lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I saw something unexpected happened. It seemed that the guards of the courtyard could not resist those crazy Confucian scholars. Since there were no soldiers from the nearby guards station, I quickly summoned the Jinyi Guards and ordered them to go to the Academy of Literature to support me. I came first. Report to His Highness for help..."
"Haha," Zhu Gaojie laughed angrily when he heard this. He already knew what happened at the Academy of Arts.
I didn’t expect that even though I had taken every precaution, I still couldn’t prevent something from happening in the liberal arts college!
And Mr. Xia was also implicated!
He slapped the armrest of the chair hard and said angrily:
"Shen Qingyu!"
"Gu orders you to go to the guard station immediately, pass on Gu's instructions, and order him to dispatch troops and horses immediately to protect the Academy!"
"Take down all those Confucian scholars and wait until I arrive to punish them!"
Shen Qingyu accepted the order without hesitation!
"I humbly obey your orders, follow His Highness's instructions, and go immediately!"
Tang Cheng on the side hesitated a little. He glanced at Shen Qingyu who was about to turn around and leave, but hesitated:
"Your Highness, all the Confucian scholars are descendants of aristocratic families, and many of them are from official families. Isn't it inappropriate to treat them so roughly?"
"Would you like me to go and appease you first, and then you, Your Highness, will step in to deal with this matter?"
"If the soldiers at the guard station move, I'm afraid there will be some bloodshed..."
After Zhu Gaojie listened to Tang Cheng's advice, his expression did not change at all, and he motioned to Shen Qingyu to go quickly.
Then he slowly said:
"Right now, it's already bleeding!"
"The reason why Gu wanted to establish a liberal arts academy was to give opportunities to the poorer students and to rectify the officialdom."
"The aristocratic families have long been eyeing the liberal arts academy. Now the second batch of students is about to graduate and are going to various places to take up positions. They
I started to feel anxious and panicked, for fear that these students would take away my interests! "
"In order to protect the safety of the Academy, I even dispatched elite soldiers and generals to form a garrison nearby!"
When Zhu Gaojie said this, his tone became serious:
"But they failed me!"
"When the Confucian scholars attacked the academy, they dared to sit back and watch, motionless, and did nothing to save them!"
"I also implicate Mr. Xia!"
"This time, I must teach these people what real bloodshed is!"
"Are these Confucian scholars and the people behind them really so lonely that they won't be ruthless?"
When the emperor is angry, blood will flow everywhere!
After listening to Zhu Gaojie's words, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that this time, things were going to be a big deal!
These Confucian scholars attacked the Academy of Arts, harmed Mr. Xia Shangshu, and Wei did not save him when he saw the danger. They will definitely incur heavy punishment from His Highness the Crown Prince! It will even cost many people their lives...
However, he did not give any more words to advise. As the Crown Prince, he was extremely dissatisfied with these Confucian scholars, and was even more wary of Wei Suo's disobedience to orders.
Even the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince dared to be ignored. The position of these elite soldiers and generals who were specially selected from the three major battalions can be imagined.
Such unstable elements are the biggest sin at this time!
"Give me the order and leave immediately for the Academy of Literature."
Zhu Gaojie walked out of the hall and ordered:
"I want to see who are the blind people!"
Outside the Academy of Literature.
After Xia Yuanji walked out of the gate of the Academy of Arts and shouted angrily, "Weizhe is here, who wants to kill me," the many noisy Confucian scholars were first frightened into silence, and then started to boil like water boiling.
"Death to the old thief!"
"Xia Yuanji, you insult my Confucianism and deserve death!"
For a moment, the Confucian scholars were furious, as if they were embarrassed and annoyed by Xia Yuanji's silence. Many Confucian scholars were blushing, gearing up, rolling up their sleeves, and rushed forward.
Due to the delay in receiving support from the guards, only the dozens of guards and some Jin Yiwei could not stop the troublemaking Confucian scholars.
The defense line consisting of less than a hundred people only lasted for a moment in front of hundreds of Confucian scholars who came forward almost crazy.
Su Wu's face turned pale with shock. He could hardly imagine how the Crown Prince would react if something happened to Mr. Xia!
Whether it is him, these Confucian scholars, or the soldiers of the guard, the wealthy families behind them...
Everyone will usher in the thunderous wrath of His Highness the Crown Prince!
Therefore, Su Wu picked up a stick from the side without hesitation and prepared to rush into the crowd to rescue Xia Yuanji.
I couldn't care less about the demeanor of the censor of Zuodu and the director of the company.
And at this critical moment, a well-equipped and well-behaved army arrived in time, spread out, and surrounded the entire Academy.
Some people even shouted:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
"Stop it now!"
"Just wait and see!"
