Yingtian City, Xi'anmenwai Street.
At this moment, there was already a huge crowd, and people were crowded on both sides of the street, rubbing shoulders.
Countless people in the city crowded the empty spaces on both sides of the street, all of them excitedly watching the green-shirted scholars with solemn faces and steady steps in the middle of the road.
Led by the four gentlemen of the Imperial College, Lan Miao, Tan Mingming, He Mang, and Cheng Hao, hundreds of Imperial College students gathered on the outer street leading to Xi'an Gate under the west wall of the imperial city, following behind the four gentlemen.
They all had dark faces and didn't say a word. They turned a blind eye to the crowd talking eagerly around them and focused their gaze on the towering and silent Xi'an Gate, which was only guarded by countless palace soldiers.
The Holy Emperor was deceived, resulting in the senior scholars being demoted, and the ancestral land became a county.
All kinds of things happened in Yingtian City, and they had no choice but to express their voices for this.
The four gentlemen who walked at the front, leading hundreds of Imperial College students behind them, among them He Mang, who was born in Shu, abandoned the noise in his ears.
He knew exactly what the purpose of today was.
They want to see Your Majesty.
but……
"Brother Shouli, when your Majesty founded the Ming Dynasty, he said that scholars should not discuss the government arbitrarily. Today, this rule is still erected at the gate of the Imperial College..."
Lan Miao immediately turned back to look at He Mang, who looked hesitant: "What we are doing today is not a matter of government affairs. The fact that His Majesty was deceived is a matter of the world. Mr. Huang Zicheng went to the north with a weak body, which chilled the hearts of scholars in the world. The land of our ancestors is treated as a county, and etiquette and laws do not tolerate this.”
One by one, he separated today's actions from the regulations of making irresponsible remarks on government affairs.
Later, under the gaze of several people, Lan Miao said righteously: "We are here to plan for the great Ming Dynasty! We are not making arbitrary comments on government affairs!"
There was still some hesitation on He Mang's face.
He had already seen that on the wall of Xi'an Gate, the wolf-like imperial troops had begun to mobilize.
Behind the closed Xi'an Gate, bursts of iron armor could be heard.
He Mang, who was pushed forward by the crowd of prison guards behind him, felt that his legs were beginning to weaken uncontrollably.
Lan Miao saw that he seemed to be hesitant, so she said in a deep voice: "What happened today is all because of me. It's time for Your Majesty to take the blame, and I will be responsible for everything!"
Lan Miao is gambling!
He was betting that the current emperor would not bring up the butcher knife easily again.
He was betting that hundreds of students from the Imperial College would be invited to see your majesty today, and the emperor would be forced to summon them under pressure.
He is betting that as long as he survives today, he will achieve the supreme and glorious feat of following the dragon in the future!
Not long.
Hundreds of Imperial College students, led by Lan Miao and other four Imperial College students, all walked to the intersection outside Xi'an Gate.
The onlookers who heard the news and came to see the excitement saw so many scholars gathered in front of the imperial city gate. They all whispered and discussed what happened today that caused so many scholars to gather. I ran here.
"Tell me, what happened in the court that made these supervisors come here?"
Some people shook their heads and said in confusion: "I haven't heard that the imperial court has deducted the money and food expenses of the Imperial College. They can't come here for this."
"What else could it be because of?"
"On the sign at the entrance of the Imperial College, there are still rules set by our Majesty back then. Couldn't they be here to criticize the government?"
The onlookers who wanted to find out couldn't help but hesitate.
There haven't been any major events happening in the DPRK and China recently.
Otherwise, they should be the first to know.
Just when the people are wondering what happened to the hundreds of Imperial College students today.
Not far away is a high-rise building next to Mentoutiao Lane in Xi'an.
Zhu Yunxi stood outside the high platform, with Sun Cheng and another personal guard guarding him behind him.
"No matter how I thought about it, I never expected that they would come out like this."
Zhu Yunxi stared at the hundreds of Imperial College students among the countless crowds in front of Xi'an Gate.
Previously, he was still in Jinwu Back Street, investigating the situation of Qing Yi and Lan Miao, the theater troupes from Suzhou Prefecture.
It didn't take long for the two of them to finally walk out of the house.
Judging from their expressions, both of them were neatly dressed, but it wasn't like they had done anything dirty.
The Qing Yi left the house and went to the theater.
But not long after Lan Miao returned to the Imperial College, she, the other three of the four gentlemen, and many other prison students gathered together and headed towards the Xi'an Gate.
As they walked along, more and more supervisors gathered behind them.
Zhu Yunxi, who was hiding in the dark, followed him all the way here with his people.
Sun Cheng had an evil look on his face. He looked at the prison guards not far away who were gathering together to make trouble and threatening the people to storm the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City. There was a faint murderous look in his eyes.
"Third Master, have you called someone to take all of these down?"
A bunch of sour scholars dared to gather together to cause trouble outside the gate of the imperial city. They are really tired of living!
Zhu Yunxi sneered and asked, "Why should we take them down now?"
Sun Cheng raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "The Third Master wants to..."
Zhu Yunxi hummed: "I just want to see what tricks they can play today. After studying for so many years and studying at the Imperial Academy for so many years, they actually started to play student... sports!"
Lan Miao, the so-called Four Gentlemen of the Imperial College, and the hundreds of fellow Imperial College students who followed, do you really think that they are the same as those students who devoted themselves to serving the country in later generations?
At this moment.
The Xi'an door that had been closed slowly opened a crack.
Countless officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, led by the Lieutenant Colonel, swarmed out.
In the blink of an eye, these supervisors present were separated from the surrounding crowd.
"Tiger!"
All the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards who rushed out of Xi'an Gate were in place, with formations of iron armor and a roar of a tiger, which instantly silenced the noisy Xi'an Gate like a vegetable market.
When the people around saw the officers and soldiers dispatched, they immediately shut up their mouths to discuss, but still opened their eyes wide, wanting to see what the excitement was about today and how it would end.
Amid everyone's expectations, Yu Linwei's commander Yu Ma, wearing thin scale armor and a wild goose feather sword on his waist, walked to the field with a solemn expression and a majestic demeanor.
Yu Ma just glanced at the hundreds of supervisors present, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a touch of undisguised disdain and contempt.
If the country were not at peace now, how could these people be allowed to come here?
He looked at the four gentlemen of the Imperial Academy who were obviously the leaders.
"Who are you? This is the important site of Xi'an Gate in the imperial city. You are so bold and reckless, even if you gather people here to cause trouble!"
Lan Miao also curled her lips.
As a scholar, especially one who aspires to an official career, he can naturally see clearly the identity of the person speaking.
It's just Habayashi Weiichi who is in command.
Qiu Ba is a reckless man!
He snorted coldly and stepped forward with Tan Mingming, He Mang, and Cheng Hao.
Lan Miao crossed Yu Ma's line of sight, raised her hands and bowed towards the palace.
"Lan Miao, a student of the Imperial College, heard that His Majesty was deceived and that the students were deeply affected by the Emperor's kindness. I am deeply grateful. Now, together with like-minded loyal people, please see Your Majesty!"
