Chapter 391: Palace Gate

Tens of thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of strong men, gathered at the gate of the inner city of the palace, shouting the same infectious words in a loud voice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info energetic to the point of seeming infinite and tireless, these tens of thousands of soldiers shouted from noon to afternoon; Basically, none of the ministers on the city wall dared to leave half a step.

The warm sunlight shining on the green trees between the mountains is a scene of life. However, this almost scorching heat and light sprinkled on the iron-clad and tightly packed soldiers was a different scene.

On the city gate, under the city gate, there is no difference in identity, and everyone is enduring it.

The soldiers below were hungry under the intense consumption, accompanied by the nobles on the city tower; The voices of the soldiers below slowly became hoarse, accompanied by the nobles on the castle tower; The soldiers below were dry and sweaty, accompanied by the nobles on the city tower; Some of the soldiers below were crumbling and holding back, and the nobles on the city tower had to accompany them.

This time is different from the past, and at this moment, it is tens of thousands of soldiers who petition Emperor Li Tang, tens of thousands of soldiers who petition the courtiers, and the people in the city who are watching and watching, and they are extremely sensitive. If they are careless in deceiving mistakes, if they turn from petitions to mutinies, whatever the outcome, the first to bear the brunt will be the ministers who do not give satisfactory answers to the petitioners.

The situation should not be underestimated, let alone perfunctory. When it comes to their own vital interests, this has become almost everyone's cognition.

However, one should not expect the majority of the ministers to understand this group of petitioning soldiers, let alone expect the majority of ministers to not hold a grudge against these tens of thousands of soldiers. As literati and scholars who boast of being masters, they are superior in their own world. In their ideal country, even the emperor is ruled by the arch, not to mention the people who act as the death figures on this battlefield. The Zheng family's evil, a considerable number of people think, is that the Zheng family is not clean, that's all.

A very simple example.

The beauties who are all over the world and the country are fragrant, don't lie under these Confucian guests who are dressed in white like snow and graceful, but do they want to lie under those vulgar and dirty country men who are rolling in the mire and full of obscenity? Isn't that bad~ a waste of God's gift to people? A reward for yourself?

It is a common problem of human beings to define what is incompatible with the world they expect to be evil, to define it as wrong, to define it as a bad person, to define it as an alien, to define it as a mortal person; And the literati are the main force among them, and they are the vanguard of the charge.

Except, of course, military attachés. This is manifested in the hierarchical opposition between the two and their angry eyes.

In a similar state of mind, some people are only thinking about how to give the soldiers some explanations appropriately, rather than fulfilling their petitions. It is undeniable that there are also some literati and scholars who are truly thinking about the people; But the indifference of most of the people of the same kind was seen in their eyes, so they invariably decided to teach them some more lessons, even if it was to accompany them.

At least the experienced human spirits, who suppress their temperament and wisely choose not to be the first bird. But as the new generation of scholars, as the heirs of the students, when they heard the news of the soldiers blocking the door, they couldn't help but boil.

This is worth it, I didn't even petition the saint, you rude men dare to take the first step, isn't this naked~naked~ naked slapping our literati scholars in the face!

I didn't expect that I was a dignified gentleman, but I was forced by a group of villains! Immediately, a wave of anger welled up in their hearts.

Then there was the instigation of people with intentions, people from the left and right, and even some people who were originally in favor of severely punishing the Zheng family, who did not care about their position, came out of their homes and schools, gathered together, and prepared to petition for the Zheng family - it didn't matter what their position was, they stood in the so-called team, trying to maintain their so-called dignity.

And when hundreds of people swaggered towards the gate of the palace, some of the civil servants who were ready to survive with the soldiers like this, but they couldn't do it, their faces gradually became difficult to look at.

Not to mention the lack of success and failure, the straw head, the rice bucket belly, the aggravation of contradictions, not to mention the intensification of contradictions, and the obvious contrast between hundreds and tens of thousands.

Petitions, especially large petitions with large numbers, have always been a very sensitive subject for rulers. Openly and secretly, a group of relevant personnel will definitely be dealt with and punished afterwards. This group of brainless guys actually hit someone's knife with a bare head!

I knew that even if it was the same punishment, tens of thousands of people over there would share it with hundreds of people here, and it would be a completely different result! Those who hate iron but not steel almost crush their teeth.

The hundreds of scholars who blocked the palace gate were indifferent in exchange for the angry eyes of the soldiers on the other side, and they glared back without fear, and were proud of it. But the same unkind gaze behind them made them begin to look at each other, and they hesitated and retreated.

It is a pity that there is no turning back from the bow, they have no courage to retreat, no chance to retreat; Their humble and fragile self-esteem does not allow them to retreat. They were suddenly glad that they were facing unarmed soldiers, not tens of thousands of iron-blooded killers with knives and guns.

Li Shimin, who hid in the palace and waited for the end, was mixed after hearing the news, and at the same time, he felt that the high-minded talk he said was just right for them.

On the other hand, Kong Yingda, who hid at home and got the news, only felt that he was a few years older in an instant. He cooperated carefully, tried to suppress it, and tried his best to hint and even express, who would have expected that hundreds of people would be filled with so-called blood.

Among them, there are many people who are superb in their studies! There is no doubt that if they embark on a career in office, they will definitely be a big player in the future. But now, when their blood is high, they are destined to lose their future. Kong Yingda felt sorry for their future, but was not prepared to excuse them.

In the "Book of Shang", it is said: Heaven is evil, and it is still violated; Do not be guilty of your own iniquity. Kong Yingda's regret only lasted for a moment.

As a minister, he has already begun to think about Li Shimin in the next moment, thinking about the aftermath of this group of scholars who have been heavily punished; That is, how can we reduce their hatred of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, and how can we make them cause as little or even no trouble and hatred to the Tang Dynasty as possible.

It is impossible to eradicate the roots of the grass by trumped-up charges, and the scholars who have lost their original privileged life, the extreme difference between heaven and earth, the unscrupulous revenge in the future, or the superposition and inheritance of hatred, are inevitable. Again, this is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

The so-called gentleman's revenge for ten years is not too late, and he is familiar with scriptures, history books, and legends, and Kong Yingda understands it very well.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Hidden King pulled the students of the Chongwen Pavilion out. Otherwise, once one or two students who are not open-eyed are provoked by others to participate in it, even if it is just to show their faces, it may cause unnecessary losses and even change the outcome.

In this way, Empress Changsun followed the students out of the palace, which also meant to calm the students. With Sun Simiao's granddaughter Sun Nannan following, and then the eldest grandson queen in charge, some people who are willing to participate can't find a chance to escape back; Even if you are unfortunate and dying unexpectedly, there are people who are always waiting.

In this way, everything is under the control of the Holy One today. The students who can't sink their hearts are estimated to be disdainful of His Majesty. I just don't know if the Holy One today takes into account the potential threat they pose. After all, they are all people who have a certain ability to govern the country and secure the country.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Kong Yingda stood up tremblingly and walked slowly towards the door of the study......

As dusk approached, the old man quietly visited the Yan Mansion.

Poor little lady of the Yan family, without her father at home, and her mother pursues the principle of not easily seeing outsiders, others want to visit quietly, and she can only secretly send someone to find her uncle, dare to be angry and dare not speak.

At this time, the time was approaching evening, the old man walked on the wooden bridge, raised his eyes and looked out, above the osmanthus forest, the sunset was red. As far as the eye can see, there are quaint buildings. Looking around, this scene is extremely nostalgic for him.

When the old man walked and stopped, and followed the servant who led the way to the painting room, the guests who had already arrived were still working with the young master. Strictly speaking, it is the entrustment of the guest; Unlike Li Chengdao, who claims to be exchanged for equal value, this special guest is the kind that the young master can't refuse.

It's Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan, Li Shimin called him loyal, friendly, blog, rhetorical, and scholarly, as the five uniques. Yu Shinan is not here, so he has such a high evaluation from Li Shimin. At the very least, loyalty will live up to its name.

Kong Yingda is in charge of Chongwen Pavilion, and Yu Shinan is in charge of Guozijian. Broadly speaking, most of the students who make trouble outside are his protégés.

Yu Shinan's visit, Kong Yingda did not have much surprise. Looking out the window, seeing the painting on the drawing board in front of the little lady of the Yan family, Kong Yingda only frowned slightly, and then showed a faint smile.

After a moment, the silent smile gradually expanded on his face, Kong Yingda closed his lips and shook his head slightly, turning back to the way he came; Laughing slightly along the way, laughing so much that it seemed that his whole body trembled a little. The whole process was silent, if it weren't for the subordinates of the Yan Mansion afterwards, the little lady of the Yan family would not know that he had been here.

Yan Liben, who arrived later, sent Yu Shinan away, signaling his niece not to make a noise, as if she didn't know that Kong Yingda had come......

Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda secretly learned from Li Chengdao's teacher before they came to Yanfu.

Yu Shinan came out of the Yan Mansion, holding a painting and walking towards the palace gate step by step on crutches. His steps were firm, but his body trembled slightly. Looking at his figure from behind, against the lonely environment, it is a little difficult to hide the gloom that cannot be ignored.

The direction that Yu Shinan was heading towards was the gate of the palace.

As he approached from afar on crutches, he was barely seen as the soldiers surrounded the road with the stimulus of the scholars. Compared to the thin body, of course Yu Shinan couldn't squeeze in.

Keeping his attitude low, he patted the guard in front of him on the back and begged him to let him in.

First, second, third...... He repeated the same words, all of them one by one. Until someone recognized him, he squeezed backwards for the first time and took the initiative to make way for him. The squeezed person just wanted to turn around and scold, but when he saw him, the words in his mouth swallowed unconsciously. So silently infecting the surroundings, by the middle of the section, it was already all the soldiers who spontaneously gave way to him.

The scholars in front were still wondering what the hell the big-headed soldiers were doing, and then Yu Shinan appeared in front of them.

Since this group of students is still a student of Guozijian, Yu Shinan is still their teacher. The ancient precepts respect the teacher, and they must abide by it.

However, the students bent down one after another to salute, and Yu Shinan dodged sideways. The faces of the leading scholars changed slightly, recovered in an instant, exchanged glances, and they quietly squeezed over, wanting to support Yu Shinan. Unexpectedly, Yu Shinan moved his crutches and ruthlessly pushed them away.

Ignoring the ugly faces of the students, Yu Shinan walked to the gate of the palace, presented the scroll in his arms, smiled at the guards standing guard at the door and said, "Trouble the two soldiers, help the old man hang this painting at the gate of the palace...... It doesn't matter, Your Majesty blames it, and the old man bears it alone"

The two soldiers standing guard naturally recognized this minister of the dynasty, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, so they took the painting without saying a word, and asked to help him hang it up.

The ministers on the tower of the city did not notice the disappearance of the old man. However, from the moment I found out that he was on the scene, it was over! Again, something has to happen!
