Hearing the soldiers' shouts in unison, the many noisy Confucian scholars suddenly fell silent involuntarily.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. As the prince of the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaojie was naturally not comparable to ordinary ministers. This title directly brought silence to the chaotic scene.
Shen Qingyu galloped over on horseback with an anxious look on his face. He knew that although these Confucian scholars seemed powerless, with so many people attacking the Academy of Arts, one punch per person was enough for Mr. Xia to endure...
He was afraid that some people without good intentions would take advantage of the chaos to do something secretly and really harm Mr. Xia, and then something big would really happen!
Therefore, after receiving Zhu Gaojie's order, without stopping for a moment, he rushed to the two guard posts and directly dispatched troops to suppress them!
Seeing that the Confucian scholars had stopped, Shen Qingyu was slightly relieved, and then she rode forward and shouted loudly:
"Is Master Xia okay?"
At the same time, a group of people rushed out of the Literary Academy and took the opportunity to drive the Confucian students back. Among them, Su Wu was the leader and said with tears in his eyes:
"Old Minister Xia, he was seriously injured after being collided by these people..."
When Shen Qingyu heard this, her head immediately buzzed!
Mr. Xia was seriously injured?
This matter is going to cause a big fuss!
He was so anxious that he shouted repeatedly:
"Quickly, protect Mr. Xia Shangshu and control all these Confucian scholars!"
At this moment, the Confucian scholars discovered that only Shen Qingyu and this group of officers and soldiers were coming. After hearing his order, they suddenly stopped being quiet and started to make a noise.
"How dare Jin Yiwei's lackey dare to bluff people!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never come at all! How dare you deceive us!"
Among them, the dozens of people with gloomy faces took the opportunity to shout revolt:
"Old thief Xia deserves death! The Academy of Arts has insulted our Confucianism and must be demolished!"
"The hawks and dogs of the Jin Yiwei dare to stop us and other sage disciples, so get out of here!"
"Who are you trying to scare with swords and guns? We are Confucian scholars who have read the books of sages and sages. Who of you dares to make a mistake? Get out of the way quickly! We are going to tear down this shabby academy that disrespects Confucianism!"
"Yes, old thief Xia, don't pretend to be injured, come out and die!"
For a time, under the instigation of this group of Confucian scholars, everyone was ready to move, and the scene became noisy again.
The soldiers who rushed from the guard station failed to stop him immediately. Instead, they hesitated, making the many Confucian scholars even more arrogant!
That arrogant and domineering momentum suddenly changed Shen Qingyu's expression!
"Whoosh!"
Just when he was about to give an order to suppress it, a long arrow suddenly shot from a distance!
He shot the leading Confucian scholar in one shot and nailed him to the ground!
This cruel scene immediately shocked everyone and stood on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, countless well-equipped soldiers swarmed in and surrounded the nearly a thousand Confucian scholars present, killing them in solemn silence!
Under the protection of the guards, Zhu Gaojie arrived slowly on horseback with a cold face.
"Jinyiwei is Gu's confidant, how dare you call him a running dog?"
"The Liberal Arts Academy is an important institution of the imperial court, teaching and educating people. How dare you gather a crowd to attack?"
"Old Minister Xia is a lonely old minister and an important minister in the court. How dare you harm him?"
As Zhu Gaojie shouted these questions, his expression became more and more grim.
Fortunately, he did not delay and came directly, otherwise these Confucian scholars would not know what kind of chaos would be caused.
And the soldiers at the guard station are also a bunch of trash!
Even after getting his orders, he still couldn't control the situation here.
No, that's not right. Zhu Gaojie glanced at it with his peripheral vision and sneered secretly in his heart. I'm afraid these generals at the guard station were secretly ordered by the forces behind them, and they just wanted to watch the liberal arts college be attacked and destroyed by the Confucian scholars!
Even Xia Yuanji's life was nothing in the eyes of those people!
Seeing Zhu Gaojie's anger, and even some Confucian scholars were killed with an arrow on the spot, all the Confucian scholars present were stunned.
How is this going?
How could His Royal Highness kill him as soon as he arrived?
This is a Confucian student who is familiar with the poems and books of sages. He is recognized as a scholar by both the government and the public, and will be a pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future!
His Royal Highness actually ordered someone to kill him with an arrow!
The Confucian scholars who saw this scene were in disbelief, and felt a chill in their hearts. What on earth was going on?
This is not what the family originally discussed...
Just when the Confucian scholars were in confusion, some were fearful and others were angry, Zhu Gaojie didn't even look at them. Instead, he turned his attention to the generals at the guard station, with a cold look in his eyes.
"I already said when I transferred you to establish the guard station that your duty is to protect the Academy and protect its safety."
"Why, it doesn't work if you are alone? Or do you have different intentions?"
As soon as Zhu Gaojie said these words, the faces of the generals suddenly changed.
They never expected that His Highness the Prince would directly say such heart-wrenching remarks when he came!
"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
The generals of the guard all broke out in cold sweat from behind. They hurriedly dismounted their horses, knelt on the ground, and apologized.
Who among them dares to accept this kind of talk? Who can accept it?
Zhu Gaojie looked at them coldly and said indifferently:
"Excuse me?"
He took the riding whip from the guard next to him, walked up to the generals, and slapped them with a few whips!
"Snapped!"
"You are unpardonable!"
"You dare to obey and disobey even Gu's orders, so what do I need from you?"
"Might as well raise a bunch of dogs!"
"If there is anything wrong with Mr. Xia, I will send you all to be buried with him!"
When the generals of the guard heard this, they were immediately frightened, furious, and desperately begging for mercy.
When we secretly discussed sitting back and doing nothing, we didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would take such a heavy blow. What should we do this time?
Zhu Gaojie never looked at them again. He turned around and patted Shen Qingyu on the shoulder and ordered:
"Put all these ungrateful people into the prison."
"The imperial doctors have already gone in to diagnose and treat Mr. Xia. You go in and take a look. If anything happens, report it immediately."
Shen Qingyu respectfully accepted the order and went forward.
Zhu Gaojie walked slowly to the Confucian scholar who was shot to death. When he saw blood flowing all over the ground, he snorted coldly:
"Ignorant fool."
At this time, under the control of the soldiers, this group of Confucian scholars had been separated and suppressed tightly.
Zhu Gaojie looked around and saw that among these people there were some wearing Confucian green shirts and some shirtless, but they were all surrounded by soldiers with swords and guns, and their faces were full of panic.
In addition, he also saw a few people with nonchalant faces, as if they didn't care.
Zhu Gaojie smiled coldly, got on his horse and shouted coldly:
