King Yan Feng Wenyan left the villa without saying any harsh words, and Wen Wu also rushed back to the palace to report the situation.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one expected that King Yan would turn out to be a man who defecated in a manhole with his face turned inward. The matter was serious!
That night, King Yan Feng Wenyan did not stay in the palace in the villa in the south of the city. Instead, he went to the residences of several officials. These officials were all from the West or related to the West's aristocratic families.
Within two hours, the entire capital was boiling.
The eldest son of Prince Yan of the West was admitted to the Yidao Camp for a scientific examination and became an ordinary soldier. After leaving the capital, he went to Nanguan. His fingers were broken, his face was disfigured, and there were many large and small scars on his body.
When the emperor in the palace learned the news and knew that King Yan was so disrespectful, he was not angry, but just sighed.
Thinking about it from his perspective, if his eighth son had been so wronged, he would make a big deal out of it in order to seek justice.
Feng Wenyan could see that the relationship between the palace and Han You, the emperor's personal army commander, was not only that of the emperor and his ministers, but also that they would definitely protect Han You.
King Yan didn't want to fall out with the palace, so he had no choice but to make this decision. Since he wanted to seek justice from Han You, but the palace might not be able to provide him with justice, let the people of the world stand on his side.
It's just that Feng Wenyan didn't know at all that things had developed in a direction he couldn't predict.
He can light fire, but the wind direction, wind speed, and wind force are none of them that he can control. It is true that he is King Yan, and he does not overestimate his influence, but he underestimates Han You's "popularity."
Early in the morning of the next day, shortly after the start of the court, the imperial guards rushed in. The students of the Imperial College went on strike. Under the leadership of the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, academic officials and others, they gathered at the entrance of the palace and demanded that the palace be loyal and brave for generations. The Prince of Yan's Mansion upheld justice and listed seventeen major and minor crimes against Han You, the commander of the Yidao Guards.
When the imperial guard explained the situation, the emperor on the dragon throne was stunned, thinking that he was hallucinating.
The big bosses from the three provinces were as dark-faced as possible, and the hot-tempered and most powerless Shangshu Ling Zhou Zhenghuai almost ran out of the palace to grab a guard's sword and go out to kill the idiots in the Imperial College.
Qian Ji gritted his teeth, and Zhao Tai clenched his fists and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Even if they are all civil servants and scholars, all the ministers, ministers and other big officials want to get out of work immediately and kneel on the ground to swear and swear with the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Scholars, especially with the third prince Zhou who was recently pushed out by the Imperial Academy. Ben, draw a clear line with all these people.
"Guozijian, scholar."
Lao Ba finally spoke, with a calm face as if a raging storm was brewing: "More than four hundred people gathered outside the palace, asking me... to give justice to Prince Yan's palace, to Shilin, and to the people of the world."
The imperial guard was sweating like rain: "In addition to the students from the Imperial College, there are also scholars from the capital. More and more people are gathering together."
"A scholar, a scholar, a good scholar."
Lao Ba's tone became calmer and he glanced at the ministers: "King Yan, yesterday I entered the capital and the palace. When I left, near night, all the scholars in the capital came together to express their grievances for the king of Yan. Regarding the matter, Even I am confused about the matter of Prince Yan's Mansion, but the scholars in the capital, Shilin, have found out clearly that my great Zhou and the scholars of Great Zhou are so powerful."
After a pause, Lao Ba looked at the imperial guard: "The leader is the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and the Imperial Academy's academic officer?"
"Yes." The imperial guard thought for a while: "The Imperial College Secretary Ye is also here."
"What?"
Lao Ba was shocked, and all the ministers in the court also felt their hearts pounding.
If it were just the Imperial College offering wine and a group of academic officers leading the Imperial College students, the matter would be very big, but it could be handled, even if it was dealt with forcefully, but, but, but, once the Wen family and then the Imperial College Secretary Wen Qi got involved, , the nature of the whole thing changed, because Si Ye represents the Wen family, and the Wen family represents justice, absolute justice and correctness!
The imperial guard added: "However, the Imperial College Secretary Ye sat on the floor instead, taking notes with a pen and paper."
Ministers: "..."
The emperor turned to look at Wen and Wu, but did not speak. His meaning was very clear. When the court was over, he would kill this stupid guard!
Wen Wu nodded, and his meaning was very clear. You don't have to ask me to speak, I will kill him for his stupidity!
Wen Qi is a historian, so it is normal to be there to record such a big event.
Everyone was so scared that they thought Wen Qi was also involved. If this guy was involved, the only solution to this matter is for the emperor to immediately go out to apologize, publicize, and take the initiative to admit his mistake.
"His Majesty."
Qian Ji, the leader of the three provinces and the leader of hundreds of officials, stood up and said: "I would like to leave the palace to be with the son of the country..."
"No need, the court will discuss it."
Lao Ba is domineering, they make trouble with them, and we make trouble with ours.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, just ignore such a big matter?
It’s no wonder that the ministers were shocked. There was a precedent for this, and it happened not only once, but twice, in the previous dynasty, and one of them was related to the Wen family.
For the first time, more than a hundred years ago, the former emperor of the Kang Dynasty became more or less mediocre in his later years. After being emperor for decades, his personality became eccentric. I want to know how the history books written by the Wen family evaluated him. .
Everyone knows what happened later. The Wen family gave him a beating and the emperor wanted to exterminate the Wen family in a rage. Lin, the sergeant in the capital, all ran to the outside of the palace and knelt on the ground to plead for mercy.
Originally, the emperor was just angry for a while, and it was good that no one asked for mercy. But when he saw that almost all the scholars were begging for mercy, he got angry and killed all the Wen family members in Beijing at that time.
The second time, that is, during the reign of the last faint emperor of the previous dynasty, the Yi Dao Guards were rampant and specialized in the so-called Confucian scholars and scholars. When the scholars in the capital saw that this was not good, they also ran to gather outside the palace, and then... Nothing happened anymore, and Yidao Wei politely persuaded them to return. During the return process, I don’t know what happened. Hundreds of people fell down, and their noses and faces were swollen and covered with blood.
This is the third time, and it is still led by the Imperial College.
The Imperial College is not a private school, it is the only officially designated institution of higher learning. With this attribute, it will not be a petty mess like that of scholars. To put it harshly, it means that the emperor has something to do with "mediocrity". Even the official higher education institution is not a private school. The schools can’t stand it anymore.
If this were ordinary people in Beijing, Jingzhao Mansion Yamen and Jingwei could handle it. After all, they are all professionals in doing things like this for ordinary people.
But scholars are different. Many of them are famous, and many of them are students of the Imperial College, and cannot be punished to become doctors.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be ignored."
Qian Ji, who is mature and prudent, cannot let Lao Ba's temper take over. The longer things are delayed, the harder things will be to deal with.
Before Lao Qian could ask for orders to leave the palace in person, another guard ran in.
"Your Majesty, the fight has begun."
There was a "buzz" in the hall, and Lao Ba shouted: "Who started the fight?"
"Read... the scholar gives... the scholar beats the scholar."
