511: Action
Ouchi's guards were the quickest to react, and they were startled when they saw that it was a white-haired old man who sounded the alarm!
This old man is not an ordinary old man, he is one of the only three respected old people in the entire Western Empire, he is the lifelong honorary dean of Xijing Academy, Zong Nanshan.
Zong Nanshan came to ring the alarm bell, and the guards broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that something big was about to happen!
Under normal circumstances, when there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it is the military of Xijing City who comes to ring the alarm.
Under abnormal circumstances, if the people from Xijing Academy come to ring the alarm, it means that there is a national thief, and they must be killed to eliminate harm for the country!
Who is this national thief?
The Ouchi guards are not too sensitive to these political matters, so they don't know who the old man is when he comes here and wants to get rid of the national thief.
Zong Nanshan knocked ninety-nine eighty-one times before letting go, and then pushed open the noon door, and the guards in the inner world were suddenly frightened, and their legs and stomachs were tendoned.
Nima, there was a crowd of black people standing outside the noon gate, all dressed in white, and they were all students of Xijing Academy.
Zong Nanshan took out a knife, cut off a strip of snow-white cloth from his snow-white clothes, pierced it on his head, and then lay down at the door of the noon gate.
Immediately, all the students lay down outside the noon gate.
Nima, this time the matter is really big, there will definitely be a lot of heads to land!
The leader of the Ouchi guards came out, and when he saw this scene, he sighed: "The old man of the sect is here, and someone is playing big this time." β
The deputy commander next to him said in a low voice: "Commander, what is the old man doing?"
"The nation is dying. That's what the old man meant. The commander of the guards smiled bitterly: "There has been no such ceremony for hundreds of years, and once that year, tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground." This time, I'm afraid it's indispensable. β
"What? So many people will die just lying down like this?" the deputy commander couldn't believe it: "Why is it so good to lie down?"
"Boy, you have to read the book in the future. The commander of the guards said: "More than a thousand years ago, there was such a thing, and the Western Emperor at that time didn't take it seriously. So, the dean of Xijing Academy at that time opened the arsenal of the academy and beheaded the Western Emperor!"
"What?" the deputy commander was immediately stupid: "This, isn't this a coup d'Γ©tat?"
"Child, this is not called a coup d'Γ©tat, this is called helping the right and dispelling the evil, Xijing College has always had this right, but it is not usually used. The commander of the guards said: "If the Western Empire does not have Xijing Academy, how can it maintain its rule for so many years? Xijing Academy is the foundation of the Western Empire, and almost all the courtiers and generals are from Xijing Academy. Without the existence of the Xijing Academy, the Western Empire would have perished. β
"Oh my God, it turns out that Xijing Academy is so powerful. The deputy commander said: "Then the one in the East Palace today is in danger!"
"The emperor probably wants to see who is jumping around. The guard commander said, "But His Majesty probably underestimated Dean Liu's influence. β
"Isn't he the dean of the Academy of Cuisine?" the deputy commander said, "Although the people of the Great Wilderness love food, how can this academy be compared to the Academy of Literature and History of the Martial Arts Academy?"
The guard commander shook his head: "You may have overlooked one thing, that is, in another month, it will be a very, very important Great Wilderness World Food Conference, and the ranking of this conference will directly affect the resources of our Western Empire in the next few years!"
The deputy commander understood why the old man was going to ring the alarm bell, because now at this juncture, Liu Yichen, as the dean of the gourmet branch and the recognized number one gourmand in the entire Western Kyoto, was humiliated and punished, and his identity should not have been humiliated and punished like this, even if he violated the laws of the empire.
Treating Liu Yichen like this is tantamount to helping the other four empires, which is tantamount to treason, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a national thief!
"You think it's just a food conference, but it's not. The guard commander said: "The key problem is that the other party has touched the bottom line of those old people in Xijing Academy. If Dean Liu was tortured this time, if some people's heads were not allowed to fall to the ground, no one would be in awe of the professors and deans of Xijing Academy, Xijing Academy, as the foundation of the empire, was despised like this, and the empire would go down that road in the future?"
"So, this matter seems to be just Dean Liu being humiliated and punished, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that this problem is very, very strict. β
The commander of the guards sighed and said: "So, if there is no blood to wash away the humiliation and contempt suffered by Xijing Academy this time, the old man will definitely take people to the armory next, and when the time comes, there will be more deaths, and it will be difficult for the emperor to deal with himself in the future! So, do you understand?"
"I understand, Your Majesty must kill a group of people this time and completely calm down this matter. β
"That's right, you've grown. β
While the two leaders of Ouchi's guards were whispering, the courtiers came.
As soon as the ministers saw the white expanse outside the noon gate, they were immediately dumbfounded, and then they all felt a little tendoned in their legs and stomachs.
Nima, it seems that if there is no blood today, this matter will be over.
The generals of the major battalions also quickly got the rewards of the spies, and when they knew the situation outside the noon gate, they were all covered in white sweat, and in their noses, they seemed to have smelled a strong bloody smell!
Zhang Yu, the commander of the Nine Gates, came to the noon gate, and when he saw such a situation, his legs immediately weakened.
Zhang Yu barely stood firm on the railing next to him, he touched his head full of cold sweat, and felt that this head seemed to be a little shaky!
Zhang Yu has regretted his death now, he knew that such a thing would happen, even if he gave him a prince, he would not move Liu Yichen, it was too late to say anything at this moment, the wood was already in the boat, and now he could only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could create a miracle.
However, Zhang Yu also knew that the possibility of this miracle was extremely small, because the Western Emperor must have hated him to death now, and if he didn't kill him, why would he vent his anger?
Prince Xiling Xue arrived, and when he saw these teachers and students of Xijing Academy lying outside the noon gate, his head suddenly buzzed, and he knew that he had stabbed a hornet's nest this time!
Xiling Xue didn't expect that Liu Yichen would have such a lot of energy, but at this moment he suddenly realized that it was not a problem of Liu Yichen's energy, but that he had touched the bottom line of Xijing Academy and those old people!
Unfortunately, he woke up too late.
The prince felt a chill in his heart, he could predict his fate, at least he would depose the crown prince, and the strictest one might be imprisoned and never come out.
Thinking of this possibility, the prince's eyes suddenly became fierce.
Now, even if you die, you have to fight hard.
The prince then left quietly, walked out of the distance, he glanced coldly at the courtiers and the teachers and students of Xijing Academy outside the noon gate, as well as the empty noon gate, and resolutely left.
In the palace.
The Great Emperor of the West sat there and continued to review the folds, he already knew what was going on outside the noon gate, and he was a little surprised, but he was quickly relieved.
Although the fierce reaction of Xijing Academy was somewhat unexpected, it was also reasonable, and it was not such an incredible thing.
Now, the Emperor wants to see how some people react.
If these people's reactions make him feel that there is still salvation, he will leave them a way to live, but if there is no salvation, then directly take advantage of Xijing Academy's mind and kill him like a river of blood!
As long as there is Xijing Academy, even if the current courtiers are killed, Xijing Academy will be able to draw out manpower to quickly form a new courtier team, which may be countless times more capable than the original.
Emperor Xi is a lazy person, but also a nostalgic person, and a generous person, so he knows that some people are useless at all, and he continues to use these people, otherwise he would have found a more capable person to take responsibility.
The Western Empire may not have anything else, but when it comes to talent, there has really never been a shortage of talents.
With Xijing Academy, there will be a steady stream of talents.
The chief eunuch walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of the Western Emperor.
Emperor Xi stood up, walked to the window and looked out, and sighed faintly: "I hope he doesn't go to a dead end, but my hope may be in vain." Keep an eye on that side, and if there's any movement, suppress it immediately, and kill it!"
The chief eunuch wanted to speak and stopped, and the Western Emperor waved his hand: "He is going to do this, what is the use of me keeping him." β
The chief eunuch bowed and bowed, and then left.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Western Emperor went to court.
The ministers are all over, but there is only one person missing, and that person is the prince Xiling Xue under the current East Palace.
The courtiers were very puzzled, they didn't know why they didn't come to the East Palace today, could it be that they were afraid of being punished and deposed in person, so they hid?
But some people feel their hearts beat faster and realize that something must be going on.
Emperor Xi glanced at the ministers, and said to the general pipe next to him: "Go and invite the old man of the sect in, the old man is old, he always lies on the ground, and his body is finished." β
A few minutes later, the old man of Zong Nanshan came to the top of the main hall, and after sitting down, he was silent, closing his eyes and looking at his toes.
When the chief eunuch saw a little eunuch, he quietly walked over, and after listening to a few whispers, his expression became solemn, and he walked to the side of the Western Emperor and whispered in a low voice.
After hearing this, the Western Emperor saw a trace of pain in his eyes, and then regained his indifference.
"Everyone must have heard about Dean Liu, and I don't want to repeat it. Emperor Xi sighed and said: "Prince Xiling Xue has a bad character, not enough to be the lord of the society, and today he will depose the crown prince, demote him to a concubine, and be confined in the Ice Palace." β
The Western Emperor looked at Zhang Yu, the commander of the Nine Cities who was trembling in two forces: "Zhang Yu, I don't want to kill you, but you have violated the laws of the empire, go back and hang the beam yourself, otherwise your family will be affected." β
Zhang Yu kowtowed and thanked him, and then took a long breath, it would be good to be able to keep his family, it was not a pity for him to die!
The Western Emperor named a few more people, and those people were all mourned, and they were all dead.
Emperor Xi watched these people leave, and smiled helplessly: "Old Dean, I will personally pick Dean Liu out in a while, and personally apologize, and set up a banquet for him to suppress the shock, do you think it's okay?"
Zong Nanshan sighed faintly: "Your Majesty, in fact, these are not important, the important thing is that today's matter is not a good start." Although Dean Liu is young, he behaves very well, but everyone who has dealt with him knows that he is a gentle gentleman. Even if what he did was reckless, it didn't end there. A lot of people now lack reverence for the academy, and that's the most important thing. β
Zong Nanshan immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old man will go to pick up Dean Liu." β
