Chapter 1541
"Your Majesty! What should we do? Those small countries are all in the imperial capital. This time the students have made such a fuss. If we don't appease them properly, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Prime Minister Lu has been recovering from the cold for the past two days at home. Seeing that Ling Yu's troubles are getting bigger and bigger, he can't stay at home any longer, so he hurries to court.
"Don't worry, my dear, I came to you to discuss this matter!"
Xiao Lintian reassured: "I will not kill anyone easily, but if you harbor evil intentions and want to force me to compromise, that is absolutely impossible!"
"Tomorrow I will hold a long street banquet to clarify this matter. What you two have to do today is to persuade these students to go back at all costs!"
Xiao Lintian has asked Chen Buwei to investigate the collapse of the teaching building, and Li Daniu has also been temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Each of these things must be implemented clearly before tomorrow.
Xiao Lintian knew clearly that if he was not fully prepared, tomorrow's Long Street Banquet would be the biggest disaster he would encounter since he ascended the throne.
"The Spring Festival will be held at the end of the month. I am not threatening them, but if they dare to disobey and cause trouble, I will not hire any of these students!"
Xiao Lintian handed over the bottom line to Lu Xiang and Sun Yushi, and asked them to dissuade him.
Sun Yushi is responsible for investigating the cases of Ling Yu and Ling Xianggang.
He had already learned the inside story from the old Marquis and the servants of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but he had not yet found Ling Xianggang, so he could not side with Ling Yu one-sidedly.
But today the students were causing trouble. As a scholar, he didn't want to see the students lose their future because of a case that hadn't been heard clearly, so he and Prime Minister Lu took orders and went out to do things.
Sun Yushi and Lu Xiangyi worked together and did not find the students directly. Instead, they went to the highly respected masters in various schools and persuaded them with reason and emotion to call their students back.
"The Emperor will give them an explanation at the long street banquet tomorrow! You only need to wait one more night to know the truth!"
"It's not easy to study hard for ten years in a cold window. The emperor is not a coward. Do you have to be stubborn and force the emperor who is dedicated to the country to become a tyrant?"
These masters were moved by the advice of Sun Yushi and Lu Xiang.
Think about it, these outstanding students you have trained should have a bright future, but if they are instigated to become pawns and anger the emperor, wouldn't that ruin your life?
As a result, the teachers from various schools went to the square outside the palace and tried their best to persuade the students.
The sensible students were persuaded that they wanted to wait for another day, so just wait, and they left in twos and threes.
The rest are stubborn and insist on sitting still and waiting for the results.
Just wait if you are willing to wait!
Xiao Lintian smiled disdainfully and asked General Shi to send a team of imperial guards to guard him. As long as there was no trouble, he could let them go.
If you dare to cause trouble, you will suppress it.
Not only that, Xiao Lintian also asked the restaurant to deliver porridge and steamed buns to them. It was cold in the night and he was afraid that they would freeze, so he also asked someone to send them a brazier and blanket.
He was polite before fighting, so that these die-hards could not find fault, and the people looked on and had no reason to make a fuss.
For those children who were injured when the teaching building collapsed, Xiao Lintian sent a team of imperial doctors headed by Tang Tidian to go door-to-door to treat their children, and also sent medicinal materials and compensation money.
Each family of the deceased child was compensated with one thousand taels of silver.
Xiao Lintian racked his brains and tried to fix all the loopholes that could be exploited by the secret enemy.
The rest is tomorrow!
Can Ling Xianggang and Ling Wan come back alive and finally clear Ling Yu's name?
Xiao Lintian prepared for the worst. If they couldn't come back, he would rely on the evidence in his hands to completely win back the hearts and minds of the people for Ling Yu!
