At this moment, there is already a huge crowd, and the streets are crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and heels.
Countless people in the city crowded the empty spaces on both sides of the street, all of them excitedly watching the green-shirted reading men 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 that leads 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 of people talking enthusiastically around them, and focused their eyes on the towering and silent Xi'an Gate, which was only guarded by countless palace soldiers.
The Holy Emperor was deceived, causing the senior scholars to be deposed, and the place of their ancestors became the county.
All kinds of things happen in Yingtian City, and they are bound to express their voices for this.
Walking at the front, leading the four gentlemen who were hundreds of Imperial College graduates behind them, He Mang, who was born in Shu, abandoned the noise in his ears.
He knows very well what the purpose of today is.
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 has chilled the hearts of scholars in the world.
The land of our ancestors is governed by prefectures and states, and etiquette and laws are not allowed."
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 and the country! We are not making arbitrary comments on government affairs!"
He Mang still had some hesitation on his face.
He has already seen that on the wall of Xi'an Gate, the wolf-like imperial troops have 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 had begun to weaken uncontrollably.
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, Lan Miao 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 is betting that today's emperor will not mention the butcher's 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 have the supreme glory of Conglong in the future!
Soon.
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 to make these supervisors come here?"
Some people shook their heads and said in confusion: "I haven't heard that the imperial court was slow to deduct the money and food expenses of the Imperial College. They couldn'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.
If not, 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 are neatly dressed, but it’s not like they did anything dirty.
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 of the 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.
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 between his brows.
"Third Master, have you called someone to take all of these down?"
A bunch of sour scholars dare 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 snorted: "I just want to see what tricks they can play today. After studying for so many years, studying at the Imperial Academy for so many years, they actually started to play student... sports!"<
/p>
Lan Miao, the so-called Four Gentlemen of the Imperial Academy, and the hundreds of imperial students who followed them, do you really think that they are the same as those students in later generations who devoted themselves to serving the country?
At this time.
The Xi'an door that had been closed slowly opened a crack.
Countless Imperial Guard soldiers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, led by the Lieutenant Colonel, swarmed out.
In the blink of an eye, these supervisors were separated from the surrounding crowd.
"Tiger!"
All the Yulin Guard officers and soldiers who rushed out of Xi'an Gate were in place, with formations of iron armor and a roar of tigers, 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, walked to the field wearing thin scale armor and a wild goose feather sword on his waist. His expression was solemn and his demeanor was majestic.
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 had not been at peace now, how could it have allowed these people to come here?
He looked at the four gentlemen of the Imperial Academy who were clearly the leaders in front of him.
"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, the commander.
Qiu Ba is a reckless man!
He snorted coldly and stepped forward together with Tan Mingming, He Mang, and Cheng Hao.
Lan Miao crossed Yu Ma's sight, bowed her hands and looked 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. I would like to invite you to meet with your Majesty, as a loyal and righteous person like you!"
