In Yanjing City in July, the sun has begun to gradually shine and shine brightly on the earth.

At this time, if there are literati with fluttering sleeves, walking on the road, chanting poems and writing at the same time, it will definitely attract a lot of applause.

However, there are more literati with fluttering sleeves, and that's another matter.

In particular, they are still shouting words such as asking for the people's lives.

A group of literati with fluttering sleeves walked through the streets, shouting that Your Majesty had been bewitched by traitors, and that they, as the sons of saints, should have pleaded for the people's lives and went to the gate of the palace to petition to awaken His Majesty the Emperor.

The monks, who originally occupied the mainstream in Yanjing City, were driven aside.

The merchants and peddlers in the shops on both sides of the street did not mean to applaud at all when they heard the words shouted from the mouths of the literati.

Instead, one by one, after they left, they whispered at their backs.

He was still muttering, "This Great Yan Dynasty, who doesn't know that His Majesty is first-class and good to us ordinary people." In order to seek justice for us ordinary people, His Majesty killed hundreds of corrupt officials in one go.

We haven't been able to ask Your Majesty for the Immortal Tablet yet, and you poor scholars will go to Your Majesty for trouble.

One by one, they are well fed and supported, and they are not cleaned up. ”

Whether these literati who went to ask for their lives owed to clean up or not, at least Lu Mengzheng did not dare to guarantee it.

As a protégé of Confucianism, he did not want to gain a bad reputation in Shilin, so he had no way to drive away the literati who went to make trouble.

In order to live up to His Majesty's trust and protect the people in Yanjing City, he had no choice but to take a pair of servants to follow closely behind those literati.

The huge team swam around Yanjing City, attracting many people who watched the excitement and went to the palace together.

Entrance to the Royal Palace.

The men and horses of the three guards have already blocked the water guarding the south gate of the palace.

The literati gathered together and rushed to the south gate of the palace, and they were not afraid at all when they saw the swords and guns lined up.

Instead, he pushed forward despite the ban.

"Huh~"

Zama Aoki personally guarded the south gate of the palace, and when he saw the literati rushing up, he drew the saber from his waist without hesitation.

"Those who approach the palace without an order will be killed!"

The cold language, as well as the cold knives and guns, shocked a group of literati.

The literati subconsciously looked at the people who took the lead.

Xiang Jialang is impressively listed.

He ran out of the wall last night, and after running out, he went straight to the palace.

He is determined to follow Wang Dan and seek a great future.

He ignored Xiang Minzhong's reminder.

Xiang Jia Dalang watched Zama and Aoki force the literati back, and he looked anxiously at Wang Dan hidden in the crowd.

Wang Dan frowned, nodded at him, and then waved his hand forward.

Xiang Jialang understood and shouted loudly, "You don't have to be afraid, we are saint disciples and pillars of the Great Yan Kingdom." Your Majesty governs the country and the country, and it depends on us, and they dare not do anything to us.

Rush up! ”

The son-in-law of the Shangshu family spoke, and the credibility was naturally very high.

Immediately, there were people who were in a hurry to perform, yelling and rushing forward.

"We want to see Your Majesty!"

I saw a group of literati rushing up.

The guards who followed Zamahe Aoki's side asked in a low voice, "Commander, what should we do?" ”

Zamahe Aoki's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty said, this is Dayan, not Da Song." He does not accept any coercion. Dare to invade the palace and cut it according to the law! ”

When the words landed, Zamahe Aoki took the lead in rushing forward with a saber.

"Puff~"

"Puff~"

“……”

Meet at close quarters.

The literati were the opponents of the imperial guards.

In an instant, more than a dozen people were cut to the ground.

The literati who were rushing forward behind saw the scene of blood splashing and hurriedly retreated in fright.

"Huh~"

The blood-stained horizontal knife rested on Xiang Jialang's neck, and Xiang Jialang's eyes widened, and he was stunned in disbelief.

Zamahe Aoki stared at him and said coldly, "One step further, and you will step into the palace for ten zhang...... Kill! ”

"Puff~"

Xiang Jia Dalang was frightened and squatted on the ground, trembling all over.

Zamahe Aoki glanced at him disdainfully and whispered.

"Rubbish!"

In the crowd, the civil officials who started the scene were stunned when they saw this scene.

They were unbelievable.

Yang Qi really dared to kill Confucian students in public?

Don't you want it anymore?

It must be known that Qin Shi Huang, who killed Confucianism back then, was hacked by Confucianism for thousands of years.

However.

Yang Qi killed after all, even more decisively than Qin Shi Huang, without any hesitation.

Seeing a scene of literati forcing the palace, it is about to Waterloo.

Wang Dan, the initiator, finally stood up, and he asked Zama and Aoki sharply, "You are true and bold, and the disciples of the saints dare to kill at will." It's really lawless, do you know that by doing this, you're bringing disaster to the Great Yan Kingdom?

In this world, it is still up to the saints and disciples to govern.

Today, if you kill the disciples of the saints, aren't you afraid that the disciples of the saints will turn their backs on the Yan Kingdom?

Once Your Majesty is to blame, can you afford it? ”

Wang Dan was the first to speak, and the ministers who were hidden in the crowd no longer disguised their origins and criticized Zamahe Aoki.

Zamahe Aoki glanced coldly at the clamoring ministers, and said lightly: "What kind of saint disciple is not a saint disciple, I don't understand." I only know that within ten zhang in front of the palace, no trespass is allowed without an order, otherwise there will be no forgiveness.

As a royal guard, it is my duty to guard the palace, and no matter who trespasses into the palace, I will not show mercy. ”

Wang Dan was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard Zama and Aoki say quietly: "As far as I know, within ten zhang in front of the palace, no trespass is allowed without an order, and this rule is set by your saint disciples.

Is it that, in your eyes, you don't need to follow the rules you have set?

Or do you think that you saint disciples are qualified to override the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom?

Or do you think you are inherently above all the people? ”

"You!"

Wang Dan opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't say a word to refute.

He didn't dare to admit that the Confucian scholars could be above the laws of Dayan.

I didn't dare to say in public that the scholar was above all the workers.

In the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom, there is no hierarchy of 369 or so on for the people of the Great Yan Kingdom.

All the subjects of Yan Kingdom have the same household registration certificate.

Therefore, Wang Dan did not dare to admit any of these two points.

As long as he admits one of them, then the entire Wang family will be buried with him.

And the Wang family will not only become sinners of Confucianism, but also sinners of the Great Yan Kingdom, nailed to the pillar of shame.

Zama and Aoki's words were very sharp, and almost all the words that the ministers could find were blocked.

A group of angry verbal and pencil of Zamahe Aoki Wenchen immediately froze in place.

The scene became awkward at one point.

Xiang Jia Dalang broke this embarrassing scene.

When he saw Wang Dan, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he ran over.

"Brother Wang, save me! Brother Wang! Save me! Didn't you say there was no danger? They kill! They kill! ”

Xiang Jialang ran to Wang Dan, grabbed Wang Dan's sleeve, and roared loudly.

Wang Dan almost didn't have the shame to find a crack in the ground to drill, he angrily pulled out the sleeve of Xiang Jialang's hand, pushed him away, and roared: "You waste ...... who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures."

Xiang Jialang raised his hand and was stunned in place.

He didn't understand why Brother Wang, who had been kind to him and praised him in the past, spoke so badly about him.

Wang Dan didn't care about his thoughts, anyway, Xiang Minzhong had broken off his friendship with the Wang family.

Xiang Jialang has also lost the value of use, and he naturally does not need to continue to accompany Xiang Jialang.

Wang Dan took a step forward, stared at Zama and Aoki viciously and said, "Within ten zhang in front of the palace, no trespass is allowed without an order. This official knows that if the official is standing ten feet away, it is impossible for you to kill someone, right? ”

Zamahe Aoki glanced at him lightly, and said nonchalantly: "Within ten zhang, it is under my control, and ten zhang outside is under Lu Mengzheng's management." As long as he doesn't punish you for making trouble, what you want is none of mine. ”

"Good!"

Wang Dan gritted his teeth and shouted hello.

He didn't mean to ask Lu Mengzheng who was not far away at all.

Directly instructed those literati to sit down slowly when they arrived at the position of ten zhang in front of the palace gate.

One by one, they sat upright, reading aloud the texts they had prepared.

The articles that persuaded Yang Qi to be kind were frequently recited in unison.

The chanting was not loud, far enough to reach the depths of the palace.

But some ears reported the news and consciously sent the news into the palace.

The literati sat outside the palace for less than half an hour.

Cao Lin, supported by the palace ladies, hurried to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, go and take a look, there's a commotion outside."

Before the person entered the door, the voice reached Yang Qi's ears.

Yang Qi put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Cao Lin who walked in the door, "Someone sent the news to your ears?" ”

Cao Lin was stunned for a moment, paced to Yang Qi's side, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty has long known about the things outside the door?" ”

Yang Qi nodded slightly.

Cao Lin muttered: "Since you don't care about those literati outside, you must have your own plans. Someone deliberately sent the news to my ears in order to put pressure on you through my mouth? ”

Yang Qi slowly took Cao Lin's hand and smiled indifferently: "Are you still smart......

Cao Lin snuggled up to Yang Qi and said with a wry smile: "Where is the concubine smart, the concubine is almost used as a chess piece." If you hadn't woken up, the concubine would probably still be in the dark. ”

Yang Qi pulled Cao Lin to sit down and said with a smile: "Today, you will stay in the imperial study and accompany me to watch a good show." ”

Cao Lin nodded slowly, nodded halfway through her head, and immediately shook her head and said, "The concubine still won't accompany you to watch the play......

Cao Lin narrowed her phoenix eyes and said coldly: "It's been less than a year since our family moved into the palace, and someone bought off the maid next to the concubine. It seems that the concubines have to set up rules for them. ”

Cao Lin got up and wanted to leave.

Yang Qi grabbed her, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry...... You go and set rules for them now, but I'm afraid that some of the people in the middle who haven't jumped out will hide even deeper because of this.

If you bother to find it, it is better to sit here with peace of mind. Wait for them to jump out one by one, and then you clean up together. ”

Cao Lin was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "You are still smart, the little cleverness of the concubine is not worth mentioning compared to you." ”

After saying this, Cao Lin sat down with Yang Qi.

It didn't take long for the first time to wake up, and when she saw Yang Qi and Cao Lin sitting together as if they were nothing, she didn't say a word, sat on the side obediently, and didn't speak.

Soon, Du Jin'e and Huyan Chijin came together.

Although the second daughter was born in the army, she was also thoughtful.

After entering the door, he didn't speak, and sat quietly on the side.

Flash.

An hour passed.

Chen Lin trotted all the way into the imperial study, bowed down and said, "The Queen Mother has arrived at ......"

Yang Qi was stunned, looked at Cao Lin, and said lightly: "Even my mother has been invited, the four of you have arrived, it seems that there are a lot of reports from this ear." ”

Cao Lin said in a cold voice: "The concubine knows what to do. ”

Yang Qi nodded slowly, and took the four girls to greet She Saihua.

As soon as I went out, I saw She Saihua hurriedly entering the imperial study.

"Child (concubine) ......"

She Saihua looked eager, waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite...... Qilang, my mother heard about it, it's all up outside, why do you still have the heart to play with your wife and children here. ”

Yang Qi accompanied the smiling face, welcomed She Saihua into the imperial study, and said softly: "Mother, the child knows, the child will send someone to pass the decree." ”

"Chen Lin?"

"The slave is here!"

"Go and preach the message!"

"No~"

Chen Lin walked out of the imperial study, took out a holy decree that had been drawn up from his cuffs, and took the imperial guards to the palace gate to deliver the decree.

"Squeak~"

The south gate of the palace opens.

Chen Lin held the holy decree high and slowly walked out.

Those literati who were asking for their lives were excited when they saw this.

In their view, the will that came out at this time must be a holy will that is in accordance with their hearts.

This shows that they succeeded in asking for their lives.

The ministers in the crowd looked excited.

In their opinion, as long as Yang Qi is forced to retreat once, they can force Yang Qi to retreat twice.

then forced Yang Qi to retreat step by step, and squeezed Yang Qi's imperial power fiercely.

And they will become the brightest stars in the court.

Chen Lin glanced at the literati and ministers who were full of excitement, sneered in his heart, and unfolded the holy decree.

"The edict says ......"

In the excited expressions of the literati and scholars, Chen Lin read a lot of thoughts.

Then he recited the most crucial sentence of the Divine Decree.

"Holy Decree, Yan Guo has been decided, everything is restless, suspend the imperial examination system, and the imperial examination will not be held for five years. The selection of officials is ......drawn from many newly established schools, such as Datong Academy, Xinli Yenching University Hall, Xinli Jinling University Hall, etc.

"Admiration for this ......"

Moment.

Wenchen, literati, the excitement on their faces froze on their faces.

How so?

Why is this happening?

The excitement on Wen Chen's face, after a short period of stiffness, instantly turned into a pig's liver color.

Yang Qi's move to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle can be said to have disrupted all their arrangements and plans.

The literati were like mourners.

The reason why they stayed in Yanjing City was that they were waiting for the Great Yan Kingdom to open the imperial examination, so that they could show their ambitions.

However, Yang Qiyi issued a holy decree to suspend the imperial examination system, making everything for them in vain.
