In the Zhejiang Guild Hall, even though it was already dark, there were still crowds of people in the lobby. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang students who were taking the exam walked out of their rooms and discussed indignantly about Chen Yichen's conviction.

On the table in the center was a young man standing on it. His cheeks were red and his fists were clenched, and he was telling something to the pick of the same year around him.

If Chen Yichen was here, he would definitely feel very relieved. This young man was He Wendao who he met at the West Lake Elegant Festival.

Several years have passed, and the boy who was once only able to stand in the corner and was not qualified to make a statement can now call in front of everyone.

"In the same year, Mr. Chen established his mind for the heaven and earth and for the people, but now he is in prison. As literati, how can we watch the right and wrong and the confusion of black and white? When we stand up and run for Mr. Chen!"

Zhejiang scholars present listened to He Wendao's appeal, and many of them showed an angry expression on their faces. It only took two months for the capital to completely resolve the crisis, but the meritorious ministers who turned the tide were imprisoned for no reason. What is the law of heaven?

"That's right, Mr. Chen gave up his pen and joined the army, and rushed from Fujian to support the capital. It can be said that he is the general of supporting the building. We can stand alive today because Chengguo, who led the soldiers to fight bloody battles with Yu Shaobao and Mr. Chen."

"If you want to say that he is a rebel, the first one will be dissatisfied!"

Another young scholar stood up, Chen Yichen also knew him, and he was Chen Ruichu, the closed disciple of Cao Rui, the Huozhou School at the West Lake Yaji Festival.

At that time, Chen Yichen was different from the traditional school's philosophy, and in a sense both sides were still in the hostile camp. However, after making a splash at the West Lake Yaji, more and more students learned what it means to "use it in the world and seek truth from dialectical evidence."

At the same time, the "Shen Xue" that was only for the fire of stars began to spread in places like Jiangnan where the literary style was open.

It may be far from the momentum of prairie fire, but at least I remember the way of Chen, I will no longer be lonely!

"Ha, what's the point of obedience or disobedience? Master Chen prevented the Supreme Emperor from returning to the capital at the court meeting, and later disobeyed the Supreme Emperor in public, and where did he place Zhongyi and Junen?"

Some people support it, but naturally some people oppose it. He is Zhang Shiheng, who was criticized by Chen Yichen in the West Lake Elegant Collection with the eight characters "The rise and fall of the world is responsible."

"The court meeting is the place for discussion. Mr. Chen spoke frankly for the sake of honor and disgrace of the Ming Dynasty and placed his family and country above his personal rank. How could he be guilty for his words?"

A scholar standing next to Zhang Shiheng could not bear it anymore and immediately retorted.

"In addition, even if there is something wrong with Mr. Chen's words, His Majesty should be held accountable. When will our Ming Dynasty be in power in the harem?"

This scholar pointed directly at the core of the problem. If the procedure is unjust, then the result will definitely be unjust.

If the emperor is still there, it is not the turn of the empress dowager to issue an order to the foreign officials. In a sense, this is also an usurpation!

And compared to the tactfulness of this scholar, another young guild student said radically: "The country is the most important, and the king is the most important."

"The battle between Tumu Fort was a disaster, and the nine border defense line was severely damaged, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died in just a short time. As the king, shouldn't the Supreme Emperor bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty?"

In fact, this sentence means more directly, that is, the result of losing your troops and humiliating the country was caused by you, Zhu Qizhen. Now that you have the opportunity to recover, do you still have to return to Beijing as soon as possible if you are afraid of death?

Zhang Shiheng originally thought that his words could arouse a group of like-minded people and stand up to oppose Chen Yichen's great deeds, but he never expected that he would become a loser!

Most of the students present were affected by Chen Yichen's theory during the West Lake gathering that year, which opened the door to a new world for them.

Not only is the Zhejiang Guild Hall staged a scene of righteous indignation, but the Shandong Guild Hall, Fujian Guild Hall, Henan Guild Hall and other places also have countless scholars running around to tell each other, saying that they were unfair to Chen Yichen and wanted to correct the shortcomings of the harem's interference in politics.

Soon, a group of literati rushed out on this street where the guild hall was located. They shouted slogans in response to Chen Yichen, hoping to attract more people to join the struggle.

"I am a scholar in Fujian. Master Chen was the governor of Fujian to save the war from the land of Fujian. He then divided the fertile land to save thousands of people. My life was given by Master Chen, so I should return it!"

"It's not just Fujian. Shandong has broken dams and 8 prefectures. Who has not received the favor of Ge Lao Chen? People cannot forget their roots!"

"I would also like to ask you to jointly petition. Meritorious ministers should not suffer grievances!"

Soon, a long roll of rice paper appeared on the street of the Guiguan. Countless scholars who were taking the exam signed their names on it, representing a struggle for power.

Even if you are the saint Empress Dowager who is the mother of the world, you are still more powerful than the world's trend!

The same scene was also being staged by the Imperial College. Li Shimian wrote the "Original Commentary" with thousands of words, preparing to wait for dawn to go to the Forbidden City to submit a report to the emperor.

When Wang Zhen's dictatorship falsely accused Zhongliang, Chen Yichen led the disciples of the Imperial College to follow the scholars who went to Beijing for the exam and wrote a memorial to complain about the injustice. Now that time has passed, it is time for his old bones to be the one who is still in the grace of the Central Hall.

Standing aside, Zhao Wan, the Imperial College Supervisor, looked at the radical words of the "Original Commentary", but the expression on her face became more and more serious.

"Dasi, do you think about the consequences of the Queen Mother's Hen Sichen in your memorial?"

The hen Sichen is definitely not a good word, it is equivalent to pointing at the empress dowager's nose and scolding. Now that Zi Shishi is in decline today, the empress dowager is the real person in charge of power. If Li Shimian submits this memorial, he may have life worries.

"If we literati don't even have the courage to speak out for death, what kind of face do we have to teach and educate people in a holy place like the Imperial College?"

"How lucky would it be to reversal the unhealthy court with my life, Li!

Li Shimian had no thoughts of worry or fear at all. On the contrary, his heart was filled with passion and morality.

The harem interferes in politics and slandering Zhongliang cannot be made, otherwise there will be endless troubles. His memorial is not only for the sake of remembering the world, but also for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty!

Looking at Li Shimian's decisive appearance, Si Ye and Zhao Wan gritted her teeth and took the ink pen she had just put down.

"You are right, Dasi, you are right. The court is unfair. We literati will naturally support the country. Please add me, Mr. Zhao!"

After saying that, Si Ye and Zhao Wan wrote down his name in the "Original Commentary". It was not only Li Shimian who was humiliated and framed by Wang Zhen that year, but Zhao Wan was also one of the officials who were punished in the Imperial College Square.

If Chen Yichen had not spoken up for justice that day, there might not be Zhao Wan who is still alive today.

At this moment, a sound of firmness came from outside the house.

"Sir, are you here? The student heard that Mr. Chen was imprisoned and asked for his crime. He was willing to go to the Meridian Gate to knock on the drum!"

The sudden appearance of this sound made Li Shimian and Zhao Wan look unexpected on their faces.

You should know that the letters sent by Bian He were limited to the few senior officials of the Imperial College who learned that Li Shimian did not want to bring his students and disciples in. Since ancient times, literati made memorials and prayers, and he was inevitably in danger of bloodshed and sacrificed. He was a martyr who was a man of old bones. Only young literati were the future of the Ming Dynasty!

"Sir, the kindness of Mr. Chen was remembered in his heart by the students, and he should repay his kindness!"

Another voice sounded. This person was one of the people who were in the verdict and complaints. The old scenes are vivid in my mind.

"The Grand Secret family, the literati have their own pride. Chen Ge Lao is the leader of the three Yuans and the six Yuans. He must not suffer unexplained grievances!"

"Sir, I wish to go to the palace together to beat the drums of the sound of the sound of the drum!"

Listening to the shouts of students from foreign nationals, Li Shimian had an indescribable feeling on his face. Teaching and educating people is not about how big the students are, but more about wanting them to inherit their unique knowledge for the past saints, to promote virtue and goodness, and to be compassionate with the heavens and others.

It seems that this group of students did not disappoint themselves.

In the imperial prison on the other side, Chen Yichen did not have the scenes of unjustly humiliation, humiliation, and other scenes that many literati imagined by outsiders.

On the contrary, he lived in a specially arranged single room peacefully. The vicious Jinyi Guard, who had been in the past, nodded and bowed when he saw Chen Yichen coming, and did not dare to be negligent or disrespectful at all.

Through the skylight above his head, looking at the small crescent moon outside, Chen Yichen felt that he had an unprecedented peace of mind. Perhaps only at this time can he completely let go of all his power and plot and entrust his destiny to others.

Any scholars of the Ming Dynasty who did not become cynical like the Qing Dynasty would definitely stand up to help them fight.

And Chen Yichen planned all this and really wanted not only to fight against Empress Dowager Sun's interference in politics, but to plant a seed of daring to resist and fight in the hearts of the literati of the Ming Dynasty when facing injustice and power.

Even if the other party is arrogant and royal right!

Only when everyone no longer fears the imperial power can we better restrain or even suppress the imperial power, thus completing the real changes in the Ming society.

Although the scholars and officials and the emperor rule the world together, although they are not as equal to everyone in later generations, they are at least far better than giving the fate of the family, country and the world to a single husband. Many times, they have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. Chen Yichen is also moving forward.

Just like in the Imperial College and the West Lake Yaji, igniting a bunch of sparks of spreading ideas, one day it will eventually form a prairie fire!

"Yangbei, can the Queen Mother's indictment be rejected by just a letter to the Grand Secretary?"

Zhao Hongjie, who was standing aside, looked at Chen Yichen and kept looking at the crescent moon outside the window without saying a word. It seemed that he was not the one who entered the imperial prison, but he seemed to be unrelated to him. Instead, he couldn't help but ask.

The Dasi family does have the status and respect of the role model of the literati, but the question is, no matter how respected it is, he is just a civil servant of the fourth rank in the officialdom. How can he change the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager?

"It was not the Grand Secretary who rejected the Empress Dowager, but the general trend!"

"What trend?"

If Zhao Hongjie wants to be a spy, he is now specialized in this strategic level of power and strategy, so he can't understand Chen Yichen's meaning at all.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will see it in the morning."

It was already midnight, and the high crescent moon was slowly falling towards the west.

When the dawn of the day comes, it is the arrival of the general trend!

Listening to Chen Yichen's literary puzzle, Zhao Hongjie couldn't hold it in, and said bluntly: "You know that in the private school in the outer school, I was the one who knew nothing about the grades. I don't understand the general trend. I only know that if the empress dowager did not take back his life, many people would come to take the blame tomorrow."

"To the north, we have to make a plan."

When talking about this, a ruthless look flashed on Zhao Hongjie's face. In theory, civil servants who reached the level and influence of Chen Yichen would not be punished and killed no matter what.

But who can tell many things accurately? Liu Qiu's memorial was displeased by the emperor and Wang Zhen, and he was tortured in the imperial prison. The location was not far from Chen Yichen's cell.

"What are the plans for a backhand?"

"When things are really irreversible, I will contact someone to send you out of Beijing and let Li Da lead someone to help you."

Listening to Zhao Hongjie helping him plan to run away, Chen Yichen couldn't help laughing out loud. This was even more unreliable than leading troops to rebel directly.

"Then let it go. I'm a cabinet master now, but I'm not even able to get the threshold of the cabinet once before I even stepped on it, so I'm afraid I'll become a laughing stock in history books in the future."

Seriously speaking, Chen Yichen's appointment to participate in the cabinet at the meeting should have officially entered the cabinet tomorrow. As a result, he stepped into the imperial prison one step ahead of time, and it would also become a strange thing to put it in the mouths of future generations.

"That's better than life-threatening?"

Facing Chen Yichen's appearance of Yun Danfengqing, Zhao Hongjie felt that the emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was anxious. He really thought that the empress dowager's imperial decree was a joke?

"I can't save my life."

Seeing that Zhao Hongjie was really anxious, Chen Yichen looked serious and changed the subject and asked: "Hongjie, instead of worrying about me, it is better to send a few Jinyiwei or put it next to Zhu Ji's side."

"He is in a neighborhood town now, and I'm always a little worried."

For some reason, Chen Yichen always had a premonition of unknownness when he met Zhao Hongjie a few days ago.

Zhu Ji was a playboy in the capital, and at most he acted as an insider who conveyed information, but he served as a guard at the border and had too many things he could do.

If you don’t catch him for a day, there will always be endless troubles.

Moreover, Chen Yichen cannot do anything like he is to treat ordinary insiders. If he really doesn't work, he will find a way to solve it physically.

Duke Cheng's family concept is deeply rooted in the bones. The concept of prospering and losing both together is accompanied by the father and son's life. There is no sufficient evidence to touch Zhu Ji's hand. Once the matter is exposed, Chen Yichen even had a premonition that there would be a scene where father and son become enemies and brothers would be killed.

This is why Chen Yichen has not attacked Zhu Ji for a long time.

"Don't worry, I've sent it, and I'm trying to find a way to buy Zhu Ji's people around me with a lot of money."

"As long as he is indeed an insider of the Tartars, then sooner or later there will be a moment of showing his strength!"

When Zhao Hongjie was doing things, Chen Yichen was relieved and nodded and said no more.

As time passed by minute by minute, the eastern sky turned white, and the snowy scenery of the capital reflected the white.

At the end of the road in front of the Meridian Gate, a group of black figures appeared. They were not officials who came to court, but scholars in the capital and students of the Imperial College. The leader was gray-haired. He was the Imperial College Priest Li Shimian, who was known as a master of literati.
