Outside Lishuiguan.
Gong Qingyun, the right minister of the Imperial Court Etiquette Department, and others were waiting eagerly when they saw the carriage of the eldest princess.
The carriage was surrounded by Huo Zilong's soldiers and horses, and it looked like it was being imprisoned.
Gong Qingyun was furious and scolded: "The eldest princess is your majesty's sister and a royal relative, but she was kidnapped by you and other rebels. It is really treasonous! Today we are ordered by your majesty to come to rescue the eldest princess. You guys If you have any conditions, you can put them forward, but you must ensure the safety of the eldest princess!"
"If you hurt a hair of Her Majesty the Princess, no one in the world will forgive you! No scholars in the world will forgive you either! Your Majesty and the royal family and nobles will not let you go!"
Just listen to Gong Qingyun's angry voice.
The great scholars and students behind him were also filled with indignation.
They all accused Ling Ning of being despicable.
Conspiracy is disloyal and unjust, kidnapping the eldest princess is shameful, and spreading rumors to frame the eldest princess is even more despicable.
These great scholars and students came from various academies all over the country, and they all expressed their intention to expose Ling Ning's crimes to the world.
Once they do this, it won't be long before Ling Ning's infamy spreads throughout the country.
Just when everyone was making noise, Duanmu Shuang shouted angrily: "Quiet!"
Even though Duanmu Shuang was a strategist, this roar was like a bolt from the blue. It actually drowned out the noise and immediately silenced him.
Duanmu Shuang pointed at Gong Qingyun and shouted:
"You said that the eldest princess was kidnapped by the king of Beidi County. Do you have any evidence? If it is true as you said, how dare my lord send the eldest princess here?"
"How dare I confront you face to face?"
"Just because my lord is upright and upright, that's why I dare to ask the eldest princess to come in person to explain the situation!"
"Emperor Liang is stupid and immoral, killing loyal people, corrupt officials are rampant in the court, and the people are living in dire straits. My lord has no choice but to raise an army to find a way out for the people of the world!"
"Although the eldest princess is a royal relative, she cares more about the world and the common people."
"That's why the eldest princess came to Yanzhou in person!"
"In addition, Gong Qingyun, as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, you are in charge of the five rites. When you see the eldest princess's guard of honor, why don't you take the initiative to pay homage to her?"
"And you scholars, without seeing the eldest princess or hearing her personal admission, how can you arbitrarily frame the prince of the North?"
"Have you forgotten the teachings of the saints?"
"A gentleman does not look upon others for evil, and does not doubt others for disbelief!"
"You are reading the books of sages in vain!"
A gentleman does not treat others with evil in advance, and does not doubt others with disbelief. This means that a gentleman does not think others are bad in advance, and does not look at others with distrust.
Duanmushuang's rhetoric was very sharp.
Gong Qingyun was speechless, and then shouted: "I will invite the eldest princess now to explain everything and expose Ling Ning's ugly face!"
After saying that, Gong Qingyun came to the carriage and knelt down to worship:
"Gong Qingyun, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xianguan, along with many great scholars and college students, are asking to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess! Please rest assured, eldest princess, I will definitely rescue the eldest princess this time!"
The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the elegant eldest princess stepped out of the carriage.
She stood in the car, glanced at Gong Qingyun and the others with displeasure, and then said: "I came to Yanzhou voluntarily to pay homage to the loyal ministers who were killed by the imperial court. However, they actually spread rumors that I was killed by Ling Ning. What’s the purpose of being captured?”
As soon as these words came out, Gong Qingyun, the scholars, and the students were all stunned.
"Elder Princess, are you being coerced?" Gong Qingyun asked quickly.
The eldest princess flicked her sleeves and said angrily:
"Who dares to coerce me? If I want to leave Yanzhou, who dares to stop me? It's me who doesn't want to leave Yanzhou."
"Look at Daliang today. The country is in a state of chaos, the world is dark, and there are so many corrupt officials and sycophants in the court who dare to bewitch Your Majesty and harm the loyal and good."
"The foundation of the beam is already crumbling, and the building will collapse!"
"Ling Ning raised the army to clear the emperor's side!"
"I agree with Ling Ning's behavior. It's time to neither break nor establish!"
"As scholars, you should take it as your own responsibility to help the country, rather than joining in the evil trend!"
“…”
Even though the eldest princess in front of her was pretending to be Chu Chu, her majesty was no less than that of the real Lin Xixue.
Moreover, every word she spoke was like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's heart.
These words were naturally taught by Duanmu Shuang.
It directly transformed Ling Ning's rebellion to avenge his father into a rebellion for the people of the world.
Ling Ning's current purpose is to clear the emperor's side and eradicate the traitors around Emperor Liang, and it is definitely not for his own selfish desires.
Faced with the indignant scolding of elders, Gong Qingyun was already sweating.
Not only Gong Qingyun, but the scholars and students behind him also lowered their heads in shame.
Gong Qingyun didn't expect that the situation would become out of control. As a royal noble, the eldest princess would actually support Ling Ning in starting an army. This was really crazy.
At this moment,
The eldest princess added: "I will not leave Yanzhou. I will sit in Yanzhou and watch the soldiers and horses of Lingning, the king of Beidi County, uproot the moths in the beams!"
"Gong Qingyun, when you go back, tell His Majesty my determination!"
"And all the great scholars and students, you must tell the world my determination!"
Subsequently,
Duanmushuang took out the letter and handed it to Gong Qingyun.
The eldest princess continued: "This is my personal letter to Your Majesty. After he reads it, he will understand my determination. In the future, I will also make the contents of the letter public and inform the world."
"go back!"
After saying that, the eldest princess turned around and got into the carriage.
Huo Zilong quickly escorted the eldest princess back to Lishui Pass.
Duanmu Shuang looked at the dumbfounded Gong Qingyun and others, feeling secretly happy in his heart, so he snorted coldly, said "take care of yourself", and left, leaving only Gong Qingyun and others standing there.
"No, I have to return to Beijing quickly!"
Gong Qingyun was anxious, and the development of the situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Emperor Liang firmly believed that the eldest princess was captured by Ling Ning. How could it be voluntary? She couldn't even believe that the eldest princess actually supported Ling Ning's rebellion.
Crazy, crazy.
But before leaving, Gong Qingyun also warned the Confucian scholar and the students behind him: "It is forbidden to talk about what happened today. Do not spread it. Do you understand?"
"I'll understand later." Everyone agreed immediately.
But obviously, the words of scholars cannot be trusted.
After Gong Qingyun left, these students started talking about it. When they returned to their respective colleges, they immediately spread the news about today and made it known to countless people.
The word of mouth spread by these people gave Ling Ning's rebellion a suitable coat.
Ling Ning: Is this king seeking revenge for his father?
It's low, it's low, it's low!
This king is on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and I want to eradicate the traitors and traitors in the court.
…
At this time, Ling Ning came to a manor more than ten miles east of Yanzhou City.
This manor is the property of the Qi family, covering an area of hundreds of acres, with mountains and rivers at its back.
Ling Ning didn't come here just for fun.
I saw Ling Ning wave his hand:
Three thousand sets of armor and riding equipment appeared in the manor's warehouse, and the full set of jet black armor shone with a faint light.
There are also three thousand horse spears, shining with cold light.
Ten thousand good horses appeared in the racecourse, all of them were good horses without any disabilities.
