Palace back garden
Zhao Kuangyu was in a good mood today. He accompanied the two concubines for a tour, and then he walked towards Concubine Ji's Palace Garden.
And just when he was about to enter Concubine Ji's palace, lines of large characters suddenly appeared on the photo wall at the entrance of the Confucian Temple.
As long as you are in the capital, no matter where you are, as long as there are words on the photo wall, they can see it...
When Emperor Zhao Kuangyu read the words above, he started to curse. This was obviously an accusation against him!
"Come here, Qinzheng Palace!" Zhao Kuangyu waved his sleeves and left.
The eunuch and the maid looked up at Concubine Ji cautiously, and then left quickly.
"Who did this killing of a thousand swords?" Concubine Ji cursed fiercely.
The maid and the eunuch bowed their heads and said nothing. They did not dare to take this issue...
At the same time, the people in the capital became happy because it was the first time they saw such a funny thing happening on the photo wall.
What does an emperor look like? Only then was someone reminded of the Dragon Seal issue?
Gu Mansion
When Gu Yongnian and Gu Jingming saw the words on the photo wall, they were stunned.
what happened? Why would anyone know what they were going to do?
"Did your people leak the news?" Gu Yongnian asked Xiang's eldest son.
"That's impossible, that person hasn't received the order yet!" Gu Jingming replied.
Gu Yongnian's eyes showed a chill: "This is strange, who could it be?"
"Why don't you go to the Confucian Temple to inquire? Maybe you can get some information from the watchman." Gu Jingming asked.
"No, whoever goes now will be suspected by Zhao Kuangyu!" Gu Yongnian stopped him.
Gu Yongnian is very vigilant on this point. That is because he is careful in everything, so he has not left any clues so far.
"Father, what should we do now?" Gu Jingming clenched his fists and asked.
"Let's wait and see what happens and see if our good emperor cares about this. If he doesn't, then we will continue. If we are noticed, kill the person who is doing it!"
"Yes, father, the child understands!" After Gu Jingming finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Gu Yongnian said: "Go and notify your brother, tell him that things have changed and ask him to come back."
Gu Jingming bowed deeply to his father and then left the main hall.
Gate of Confucian Temple
At this moment, there was a lot of excitement in front of the screen wall at the entrance of the Confucian Temple. Many scribes came to inquire about the news. After all, this kind of criticism was the first one since the founding of Dayan. Therefore, these scribes wanted to know which great scholar was so courageous... …
In fact, there are only a few great scholars in Dayan Kingdom. If you really want to think about it, you can guess that the reason why they came here is to hear what the watchman said.
After waiting for a long time, these scribes did not see the watchman, as if nothing happened...
"It's such a big deal, why can't the watchman come out?"
"Are you stupid? What kind of person is a person who can leave things on the video wall? Can the person who makes the call come out just to offend the other person?"
As the scribes around him started talking more and more, the people hiding in the restaurant opposite also evacuated.
In the darkness, a group of guards stood on both sides. They were all waiting for the captain's order, but after waiting for a long time, there was no news.
"Retreat, I guess no fool will jump out at this time."
Just after the garrison withdrew, a scholar wearing a floral shirt came out. As for why it was a floral shirt, it was because every shirt this guy wore was different from normal shirts. Instead of having embroidered Butterfly patterns are all kinds of embroidered fish patterns, which are very different anyway.
"Hey, Holy Master, why don't you come out and say something? There are so many literati disciples here waiting for you to come out."
When the scribes around him saw that it was Hua Chen, the dandy from Washington, they all left quickly. After all, this guy's reputation was not that bad.
If there were three major dandies in the capital in the past, Hua Chen and Xu Que accounted for two of them, and the other one was the Feng family. However, the Feng family's dandy joined the army and died on the battlefield the year before last, so now in the capital, only Got this one!
Realizing that everyone around him was hiding far away, Hua Chen laughed nonchalantly.
"You're a virgin, you'd better leave!" said an old gentleman coming out of the Confucian Temple.
Seeing that the person coming out was Master Sun from Dayan Academy, the scribes hiding in the distance immediately bent down and saluted.
"Hey, I thought it was the Holy Master, but it turned out to be Old Man Sun." Hua Chen closed the folding fan and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the Confucian Temple? Did you write the bullshit article on this?"
"Bastard!" Master Sun scolded angrily: "The great power of literature and morality has been demonstrated. How can you be so presumptuous as a playboy like you? I want you to leave quickly because I don't want your blood to stain this place!"
"Old man Sun, just..."
Before Hua Chen finished speaking, there was a loud bang and Hua Chen was nailed directly to the opposite courtyard wall!
Everyone was shocked to find that a golden light flew out from the Confucian Temple, and then quickly returned to the Confucian Temple.
Master Sun ignored Hua Chen, bowed to the Confucian Temple behind him, and then walked away...
"Is this dude dead?"
"It's hard to say, but he deserves to die. Who allowed him to come here and cause trouble?"
"It can't be said like this. One of the three great evils died and the other became a genius. It would be strange if he could still stay..."
…
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Hua Chen stood up in shock. After taking a look at the Confucian Temple, he knelt down in front of the Confucian Temple and kowtowed three times.
No one knows what happened to him, and no one will understand why a dandy can kowtow in front of the Confucian Temple.
Hua Chen stood up and bowed again, but just as he turned to leave, a message reached his ears.
Hua Chen didn't look back, he just left the place quickly...
Imperial Palace Qinzheng Hall
"Has it been checked clearly?" Emperor Zhao Kuangyu asked.
Shan Qi stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the two great scholars said that it was the great scholar Zu Shanhe who did it."
"It's this old man again!" Zhao Kuangyu clenched his fists: "If he doesn't cultivate his literary skills well and insists on intervening in court affairs, doesn't he know that he has crossed a line?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Qu Zhongyi took a step forward and said, "In my opinion, this matter may not be groundless. If Your Majesty does not handle it carefully, it may really cause some disaster."
"Qu Aiqing, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Kuangyu didn't quite understand. He felt that his dragon seal was placed on the table in front of him. How could someone steal it?
"Reporting to your majesty, He Yi's case was widely implicated. Although Wang Peng escaped, your majesty should not forget that many officials are still imprisoned."
"You mean, someone wants to use the imperial edict to release those officials?"
"This is impossible. After all, no one has such courage." Qu Zhongyi bowed his hands and said, "Weichen thinks this matter should be a reminder from Zu Shanhe. Maybe he has noticed something, so it is safer to carry the dragon seal with him. .”
Zhao Kuangyu began to think deeply. Although he could not guess Zu Shanhe's intention, Qu Zhongyi was right. It was best to carry this dragon seal with him. After all, his father's dragon seal had never left his side at that time.
"Your Majesty, how about I go to the ancestral mansion and ask about Zu Daru's intentions?" Shan Qi asked, cupping his fists.
Zhao Kuangyu did not immediately answer Shan Qi's suggestion, but looked at Qu Zhongyi. He wanted to know what Qu Zhongyi was thinking.
After Qu Zhongyi saw Emperor Zhao Kuangyu's gaze, he lowered his head and said nothing, but still shook his head slightly. After all, this was a matter of face. If the emperor sent someone to inquire, it would only mean that the emperor was stupid.
"Let's let this matter go. I'm tired, so you can step back." Zhao Kuangyu waved his sleeves and said.
Shan Qi cupped his fists and saluted, and then slowly exited the hall. He was not stupid. He understood what the emperor meant and knew that what he said next was not something he, the commander of the garrison, could listen to.
"Qu Aiqing, do you think the people around you can be trusted?"
Just as Emperor Zhao Kuangyu finished speaking, the eunuch who was drafting the decree immediately knelt down. At this moment, his whole body was shaking like chaff.
Qu Zhongyi did not look at the eunuch, but saluted and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, since this matter has been resolved, I still hope that your Majesty will act recklessly!"
