Min Xizhao's disappearance and Ye Luo's death did not cause any disturbance in the chaotic Jiangnan.
Because there is more exciting news, it attracts everyone's attention.
Before the prince returned to the capital, news came from Shengjing that Zhou Meidai, the wife of Yu Wenjin, a former prostitute, had joined forces with Jiang Tang, the daughter of Jiang Qian, the largest salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, to beat the drum and file a petition against the emperor.
Zhou Meidai even wrote a "Letter to the Emperor" eloquently, describing Yu Wenjin's youthful ambitions. After ten years of poverty and high school, he only hoped that the country would be safe and the world would be peaceful. In the end, he died tragically in Jiangnan, with no body left.
Zhou Meidai is a talented girl who graduated from Shengshi College. As soon as this article was published, it shocked the entire Shengjing and caused an uproar among the students.
As Zhou Meidai's disciple, the teachers from Shengshi College were the first to come out to support, and the dean even came forward to join more than 30 famous colleges in the south of the Yangtze River to write a letter to the emperor demanding a thorough investigation of the case.
As Yu Wenjin's disciple, Baijuan Academy, which has imported countless talents into the officialdom, naturally cannot lag behind. Countless influential figures born in Baijuan Academy have expressed their support.
This was later known as the "Lixia Incident" in history books. The day when Zhou Meidai beat the drum to express her grievance happened to be the Lixia incident.
The "Beginning of Summer Incident" started with two weak women, and eventually the two most prestigious academies in the south of the Yangtze River joined forces to push public opinion to the top, forcing the emperor to look sideways and promise to personally try the case and never tolerate and shield anyone.
!
Shen Xingwan looked at the news coming from Beijing and said happily, "I hope senior sister can get what she wants this time."
Of course, things could go so smoothly without the help of King Zhennan.
As the manipulator of this game, Fu Siye controlled public opinion even though he was thousands of miles away in Jiangnan, and the emperor was held hostage by public opinion and bowed his head.
If the current emperor does not handle this matter well, his reputation will be completely ruined.
Shen Xingwan couldn't help but think that with Fu Siye's ability, if he hadn't died, the Zhennan Palace would not have ended like that.
But it's this kind of ability that makes those in power fear him.
Fu Jingchao looked at Shen Zhou excitedly, "Are you happy?"
Shen Xingwan put down the letter in his hand and nodded, "I'm very happy!"
"This time, many of the first people to speak out and support our senior sister were girls from Shengshi Academy. I am glad that there is more than one voice in this era."
When Shen Xingwan said this, his eyes were shining, and Fu Jingchao quickly understood what she meant.
He smiled and said, "Since the founding of the Daqi Dynasty, girls have always been legendary. Although there are many restrictions on girls in this world, girls are indeed not inferior to anyone."
Shen Xingwan looked at him sideways, not expecting Fu Jingchao to think like this.
Fu Jingchao touched his face and asked, "Do you think I'm handsome?"
Shen Xingwan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I feel good, keep working hard."
"I have a close connection with you, so I understand your thoughts immediately." Fu Jingchao said coldly and arrogantly.
The excitement in Shengjing is still going on. If you want to file a petition, you have to roll across a nail bed full of nails according to the rules.
Even though today I have agreed to try the case personally, I still insist that the rules left by my ancestors cannot be abolished.
On the day of the nail bed rolling, the square was filled with scholars and famous scholars of the time.
There are also ladies from several major women's colleges who have married into high-ranking clans, and it is rare for them to go out in groups.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the queen knelt down and said, "I sincerely request your majesty to exempt Madam Yu and Jiang Shang from the trip to the bed of nails."
The emperor sitting in front of the desk looked unpredictable and unmoved.
The queen continued to complain, "Your Majesty, all the scholars in the world are watching!"
"Bang!"
The teacup in the emperor's hand fell and shattered on the ground beside the queen, who remained motionless.
"This is a rule left by our ancestors. No one can violate it. Queen, you are so presumptuous!" the emperor reprimanded loudly.
The queen finally returned without success and returned to her palace in a state of embarrassment.
"My dear, why are you doing this?" the maid next to me advised.
The queen sneered, "I am also from Shengshi Academy, so I naturally want to do my best for my junior sister."
Back in the palace, my confidant Nanny came over and whispered, "The prince is definitely dead. He is almost as young as three years old."
The queen fell into deep thought and finally said, "Write a letter to my family. Zhuohua's foot is no longer healed. In addition, I have to go to the Taoist temple for some time to resolve the evil spirits caused by her horoscope."
"Are you giving up your position as Crown Princess?" Mammy whispered.
The queen leaned on the couch tiredly, "It's enough for the Xie family to bring in me, there is no need for a second one."
Since the middle palace has no children, the concubines and princes below are naturally ready to take action.
Lu Huanghui's concubine was the most favored, and the prince was also the most favored. In order to stabilize his position, he naturally wanted to win over her as the queen.
And with the influence of the Xie family in Jiangnan, whoever marries Xie Zhuohua will be a big help.
With the emperor's tacit approval, Imperial Concubine Lu made a quick move and everyone knew that Xie Zhuohua was the default crown concubine.
No matter how unwilling the Queen is, she dare not show it openly.
Now is the best time.
Auntie said with some worry, "But will this be resented by the Lu family and Imperial Concubine Lu?"
If there are no children in the middle palace, the fear is that the new king will come to power in the future and the queen will settle the accounts.
The queen snorted coldly, "It's not good for the prince to provoke anyone. He has to provoke Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Just watch, it won't be so easy for the Lu family to be in power."
The other princes are not just for free, and she doesn't think that the Zhennan Palace will watch the sixth prince ascend to the throne. Wouldn't that be digging his own grave?
At noon, the sun is shining brightly.
The square was quiet, and a two-meter-long bed of nails was placed in the aisle leading to the palace.
As long as he rolls over the bed of nails, he can walk into the palace, face the prince and express his grievances.
Zhou Meidai and Jiang Shang, thin figures, dressed in white filial piety clothes.
The eldest girl behind Zhou Meidai is holding Yu Wenjin's tablet.
There were dozens of memorial tablets behind Jiang Chang. Jiang Chang said with red eyes, "By God, more than 180 members of my Jiang family were wiped out. My grandmother is already eighty years old, and my youngest niece is just now."
Three days after they were born, they all died tragically. Even if I die here today, I must seek justice for them."
The scene was silent, and some young students had red eyes.
Zhou Meidai did not cry. She turned around very calmly and looked at these young and passionate students who stood up to support her. She straightened her back and said word by word, "Yu Lang once studied hard in a humble window like everyone else, and he also cared about the world like everyone else. He worked for the world.
His original ambition cost him everything, but he was let down!"
These words are extremely moving and make people think.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two rolled over the densely packed bed of nails, which was scary to look at.
The blood instantly dyed their white clothes red, and many people at the scene closed their eyes and couldn't bear to watch.
The two of them didn't even hum from the beginning to the end.
