In front of Xi'an Gate, everyone trembled slightly, moved their stiff bodies in confusion, and turned to the city gate.
Zhu Yunxi, who was facing the Xi'an Gate, looked at the Crown Prince leading people out slowly under the city gate, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and eyes.
Under the city gate.
Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, was dressed in the regular uniform of the Prince of the East Palace, and wore a black veil with folded corners facing upwards. He huddled his hands in his big sleeves and clasped his back behind his back as he slowly walked out of the city gate tower.
Behind him, there was a group of palace officials, led by Sun Gou'er, the palace manager, who followed behind the Crown Prince in small steps.
Behind them are a group of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers, headed by Jinyiwei commander Jiang Yu, wearing flying fish uniforms and wearing embroidered spring knives.
Zhu Biao walked to the place where the yin and yang intersected under the city gate, and stopped.
Behind him, Sun Gouer, the chief internal officer, immediately stepped forward and waved.
The eunuchs in the inner palace at the back immediately moved a pear-shaped armchair behind the prince.
Zhu Biao hummed, waved his robe forward from behind, and landed on the armchair inquiringly.
Immediately, Zhu Biao was seen leaning gently on the back of the chair, his left hand resting on the armrest, tilting his head and placing it on the palm of his hand.
And his right hand, which was wearing a white jade ring, gently lifted his robe, and his thigh was silently resting on his two legs.
After that, Zhu Biao's right hand landed on the right armrest, and his fingers slowly turned the white jade finger ring on his thumb.
Zhu Biao just glanced at the ministers headed by Hanlin Bachelor and Zhongshushe Liu Sanwu, and looked at Zhu Yunxi and Yu Linwei Commander Yu Ma and others gathered together with a hint of confusion.
Finally, the Crown Prince's eyes fell on the Imperial College supervisors who were kneeling on the ground in front of Xi'an Gate.
"I am here to meet you and others on behalf of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty."
"If you have any matters related to the Ming Dynasty that you would like to see your Majesty, I can tell you about them together with Gu Yi."
The prince could not calm down the turbulent business, but it was like a silent sword and ax, sweeping across the hundreds of Imperial College students present, as well as the officials of various departments and yamen present.
In Yingtian City, under Xi'an Gate.
At this moment, the questioning voice of the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Biao was left alone, echoing in this scorching summer.
Silence.
You can hear the needle drop.
The Prince's inquiry has been over for a long time, and no one among the hundreds of Imperial College students dared to speak.
At the scene, one could only hear the slight sound of Zhu Biao turning the square white jade finger on his thumb.
On the trees in the city in the distance, a few summer cicadas were faintly waking up and began to sing.
Long, passing through the hot and twisted air.
Arriving at the gate of Xi'an.
A bang.
Among the supervisors, a young and frail supervisor fell to the ground, his face as pale as the Bai Wuchang of Jiuyou Underworld who urged people to lock their souls at midnight.
Bang bang bang.
Several more sounds were made.
Among the supervisors, several people fainted and fell to the ground.
Liu Sanwu hesitated for a moment, intending to step forward and ask someone to help these prison students and take them to a cool place for treatment and relief from the heat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the prince's eyes staring at him.
Liu Sanwu's heart trembled, and he quietly retracted his legs and feet, and lowered his head deeply.
Looking at the supervisors who fell to the ground in front of him, Zhu Biao had a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Is this the sage disciple whom the Ming Dynasty has served for twenty-four years?"
"Your Highness! The students are guilty!"
"The student realized his mistake!"
"Your Highness, please forgive the students for their recklessness today..."
Dong dong dong.
Several prison students who could no longer bear the pressure released by the prince raised their heads and begged loudly for mercy.
After seeing Zhu Biao's increasingly indifferent eyes, his heart beat violently, and for a moment he was so angry that he fainted and fell to the ground.
Kill!
Indiscriminate killing!
Killing indiscriminately!
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, the prince and father, who shocked the whole audience with just a few words, he was filled with ecstasy.
Is this the aura of the most powerful prince in the Ming Dynasty?
Looking at his father with full aura, Zhu Yunxi's eyes kept bulging and his heart was beating wildly.
Lan Miao, who was kneeling at the front, faced almost all the pressure from the prince.
This invisible pressure made him almost unable to lift his head.
However, thinking of the possible future success of serving the dragon, he finally raised his head stubbornly and looked directly at the prince who was leaning on the armchair.
"Your Highness..."
Lan Miao just called out.
Zhu Biao's eyes moved over instantly: "Huh?"
Just a hmm.
With just one sound, Lan Miao could no longer open her mouth, and countless words were piled behind her mouth.
"Your Highness!" Liu Sanwu no longer cared so much at this time. Seeing that the Crown Prince seemed to have the possibility of severely punishing these Imperial College students, he finally stood up and said: "Your Highness, what the Imperial College students have done today is all because of the past.
In the East Palace Academy, the Prince of Huaiyou County was arguing with Huang Zicheng. The Prince firmly believed that the army was stronger than anything in the world. Huang Zicheng patiently corrected the situation, but did not want to offend the Prince with just a few words."
"Later, His Majesty came to the scene, and out of consideration for the flesh and blood of the clan, he demoted Huang Zicheng, a poor sage who had been writing for decades, to Xuanfu Town in vain. All the supervisors thought that this was a move of partiality."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, out of love and kindness from the Heavenly Family, changed the title of His Highness to the prefecture of Huaiyou. The supervisors thought that this move was inconsistent with etiquette and law."
"To sum up, there are many reasons why Xi'an Gate is in such various situations today."
With the person leading the charge, the officials behind Liu Sanwu also spoke one after another.
They have no choice but to speak at this time. If they back down at this time, it means that their actions today to stand up and speak for all living beings are also wrong.
What's more, they are civil servants, children of sages with the same origin as Huang Zicheng.
In the past, Huang Zicheng was demoted to Xuanfu Town, so how could they not suffer such a disaster in the future?
They are fighting for all living things now, and they are also fighting for themselves.
Zhu Biao frowned quietly, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Sanwu..."
"Father!" Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting aside, finally walked up to Zhu Biao at this time, bowed and said: "Father, I am here to answer your questions."
After expressing his inner request, Zhu Yunxi raised his head and calmly responded to the prince's scrutinizing gaze.
Where will this kid come from again?
Now that he has suppressed these people, what does he want to do?
He looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing in front of him, almost as tall as him.
A few doubts flashed through Zhu Biao's heart, but after hesitating for a moment, he said calmly: "I agree with you."
Zhu Yunxi accepted the offer, smiled on his face, glanced at Zhu Biao gratefully, and then slowly turned around, facing the supervisors, Liu Sanwu and other court officials present.
