Chapter 63-1: The Emperor's Return (I)
However, we still went too late, and the royal street outside the Donghua Gate was boiling, and I don't know how Su Yu instigated it, but it actually gathered a group of passionate students, who seemed to be more than 2,000 people, and there were people who continued to arrive at the royal street from all over the place, all with angry faces. Thinking about it in the teahouse, there were only dozens of people who followed Su Yu to Dengwen Drum Courtyard, why didn't it take a long time to call so many people? These students who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic love to join in the fun, but Su Yu ...... I was thoughtful, and I seemed to be quite a leader. Looking at the dense crowd in front of me, my heart was a little hairy, this scene can be compared to the scene of the riot that occurred when I made a pilgrimage to the "Super Oiran" finals in the court four years ago...... I shook my head and shook off the name that had just come to mind. The crowd was surging, as if it would rush into the imperial city at any moment. The imperial city is like facing a great enemy, mobilizing guards, and being heavily guarded, and the Yulin army guards the palace gate and holds spears to wait.
There were so many people on the street that I couldn't see where Fusheng was for a while. An Yuanxi asked Stygian Flame to accompany me to hide in the corners of the streets and alleys away from the crowd, and I was not allowed to go in to find it, and I plunged into the crowd by myself. I saw Na Su Yu standing in front of him, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and shouted loudly at the palace gate: "Jeju Prefecture Xie Yuan Su Yu and the first batch of students taking the exam, kneel and ask for a saint!" After finishing speaking, Su Yu knelt on the ground, and immediately knelt down in a large area behind him, and thousands of people knelt hundreds of meters away. This kneeling allowed An Yuanxi to finally find Fusheng, grabbed him by the collar, pulled him out of the crowd, and brought him to me. For the first time, I was so angry that I scolded him: "Fusheng, I told you so clearly, why are you still going crazy with them?" You've let me down so much. ”
"Sister Ye, I don't want to follow them, I just want to persuade Brother Su Yu to go back." Fusheng was a little aggrieved. I said with a calm face: "Will he listen to you?" This person is pretentious and thinks highly of himself, will he be easily moved by your words? It's that you are reasonable, but he is like an arrow on the bow at this time, and he has to send it. What he made and what decisions he made, what consequences should naturally be borne by him, you are really ......" The more I talked, the more angry I became, Fusheng, a child, had already scored more mysteriously in the exam, ranking at the bottom of the list. Although his talent is quite smart, but in the end he only followed the master to study for less than three years, and his knowledge is very shallow at all, if it were not for the fact that the number of ordinary people studying under the recommendation system is even less than under the imperial examination system, and because it is the first scientific examination, the rules of the imperial court are relaxed, and it is difficult for him to be admitted to the last position, who would have thought that he would not know how to cherish feathers.
"Fusheng, isn't it okay, don't be angry, watch your body." An Yuanxi saw that my hands trembled with anger, and hurriedly persuaded me. Stygian Flame also pushed Fusheng's back: "Apologize to my sister quickly." ”
"Sister Ye, I'm sorry." Fusheng cried and bit his lip to apologize.
I took a breath, stabilized my mood, and was about to speak, when there was another commotion in front of me. Looking up, the side door on the left side of the Donghua Gate slowly opened, and hundreds of Yuming soldiers poured out, and King Jing led a few court officials to walk out of the imperial city surrounded by saber guards, and looked at the kneeling people through the Yulin army. His face was gloomy and frightening, and his murderous eyes swept over the black-pressed students, and he said sharply: "Who are you waiting for, who dares to gather at the gate of the imperial city to make trouble?" ”
The domineering spirit of the royal family, who has cultivated a king who overrides everything since childhood, is shocking, and the students are ordinary people who have just made a name for themselves, and they are pressed by his momentum, and the noise suddenly retreats a little. Only Su Yu said proudly: "Jeju Prefecture Xie Yuan Su Yu and the first batch of exam-taking students, knock on the book!" ”
King Jing snorted coldly: "Since he is a well-known student, he should know the law and abide by etiquette, how can he be so disregarding the etiquette and law and forming a crowd to cause chaos?" Knocking on the book needs to be accepted by the Dengwen Drum Institute step by step, and you dare to listen to the drum outside the palace at will! ”
"This must be Lord Prisoner?" Su Yu saw that his robe was embroidered with a dragon, guessed the identity of King Jing, and said with a blazing gaze, "My lord, non-students and others do not follow the etiquette law, it is really Dengwen Drum Academy that refuses to accept the pleadings of students and others, and the court is closed." If the Drum Court does not accept it, it shall not be accepted by the Law Inspection Court and the Law Inspection Court. The students and others were also forced to hear the drum outside the palace. ”
King Jing sneered: "Since you know the law and abide by the etiquette, you should know that you will be guilty before you beat the drum and knock on the book!" Do you want to be stripped of your fame and assassinate the frontier? ”
The scene was even quieter, those hot-headed and impulsive students, came back to their senses at this time, and heard the meaning of King Jing's words, some were indignant, some were disapproving, and some were a little timid. Su Yu laughed loudly: "It is useless to be a scholar, to assassinate the frontier, to kill the enemy for the country, to protect the peace of the family and the country, and to lose the true character of a man, it is better than the court to humiliate and seek peace, sell the country for glory, and steal a living, ignoring the survival of the country and the life and death of the people!" ”
The generous and fierce words stirred up the anger of the students present, and many people echoed and shouted, agreeing with what Su Yu said. King Jing glared at Su Yu fiercely, Su Yu was not afraid, although he knelt on the royal street, his stubborn and straight back exuded a straightforward and confident temperament, and he was arrogant.
King Jing is afraid that he has hated the students for openly challenging his authority, these students, who can speak and write, everyone is a knife that kills people without seeing blood. He is not afraid of these students, no matter how many there are more than the defenders of the imperial city, what he is afraid of in his heart is the ruthlessness of history, he knows very well that if this matter is not handled properly, he will be ridiculed and blamed by the people of the world, suppress the students, and slaughter the pillars of the country, if he still wants to seize this throne, he can't leave such a handle to be true.
King Jing's gloomy face gradually relaxed, with a hint of hypocritical smile: "Su Xie Yuan is strong and upright, what he said won my heart, all students are the pillars of the country, worrying about the country and the people, it is really the blessing of the people in the world." After speaking, he waved his personal guard to step forward and take down the pleadings in Su Yu's hand, and said: "This king accepts your letters, students, please get up and go back!" ”
"Slow down, adult!" Su Yu stood up and said loudly, "Since the adults have accepted the pleadings of the students and others, please ask when you will give me a reply!" ”
King Jing looked at the students who stood up one by one, and was annoyed, and had to deal with him, and made a false accusation: "How can you decide on major national affairs casually, and then make a decision after this king and the court officials discuss it." ”
"Lord Prison!" Su Yu saw King Jing turn around and want to leave, and raised his voice, "The alien army is amassing troops north of Yushui, and it will attack at any time, Yu and his classmates are worried, and they are willing to stay at the palace gate and wait for the results of the court's discussion!" ”
"Presumptuous!" When King Jing heard this, his face changed. I sighed in my heart, and I also felt that this Su Yu was young and vigorous, and he really didn't know how to advance or retreat, although King Jing couldn't block the world's mouths, but the imperial power was still supreme in the end, and he was really going to be in a hurry, he might not be able to manage so much, and the fact that the students surrounded the palace gate was ironclad, and it was no better than the rumors spread privately by the people, no matter what the reason, his reputation had been wiped out. No matter how aggressive this Su Yu is, I'm afraid King Jing will be ruthless!
King Zhen Jing then said sharply: "Do you want to coerce the people to coerce the court?" Where do you want to put your father in this way? The emperor issued an edict to implement Enke, and he chose to accept things like you who have no king and no father? ”
Su Yu heard King Jing take off this big hat, but he reacted very quickly, and retorted: "The students and others are just admonishments, the peace clause proposed by the foreign race is really a great humiliation for the country, and the emperor is the son of the Holy Heaven, so he must understand that we are all patriotic." ”
King Jing sneered: "Since it is a suggestion, the imperial court has accepted your letter, how to deal with it, you have your own judgment, you can't stay, and forcibly ask for the result, how is it different from coercing the imperial court?" How do you want the world to see the court? How will future generations view this world? ”
King Jing's words were heard in the ears of thousands of students, which was tantamount to shaking the minds of some students. These students came to join in the fun, originally to protest King Jing's peace, and had no intention of opposing the court at all, and King Jing's words were heard in the ears of the scholars who valued the concept of father and son of the most monarch and minister, which was tantamount to a slap in the face, implying that they were committing chaos. Even Su Yu couldn't answer for a while, and he was speechless for a long time before he came up with a reason, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Jianguo, this impeachment is you, my lord, should my lord avoid suspicion?" Should the court choose another person to handle this matter? ”
"That's right!" Su Yu's words reminded the students, and a student beside him said loudly, "How do I know that the Lord of the Prison State will handle this petition impartially?" ”
"Do you think this king will show favoritism?" King Jing's face was gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. One of the students said loudly: "Non-students don't believe in adults, but adults have repeatedly prevaricated, do they have no intention of changing the decision to make peace with other races?" The Lord of the Prison Country insists on going his own way and insists on signing this kind of treaty that humiliates the country, which is a joke without a king and a father, so that future generations will see it! ”
"Yes, I wonder if the decision of the Lord of the Prison Country has been submitted to the emperor?" Another student said aloud, "Why did the Lord of the Prison Country insist on signing this kind of traitorous treaty despite the opposition of the courtiers? Why should we trust adults to be impartial? ”
…… The crowd was furious, and in order to shirk the suspicion of committing chaos, the students turned the finger to King Jing. My heart tightened, these fools, even if King Jing had no intention of doing it just now, I was afraid that he would kill now. Sure enough, King Jing was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said loudly: "The defenders of the imperial city obey the order, and the scientific examination students besiege the palace gate and make trouble, and arrest them all!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the students were shocked and scolded one after another. The side door on the right side of Donghua Gate also opened, and a team of Yulin Army poured out, and the students who went to the book saw that the situation was not good, turned their heads and ran, Yulin Army rushed forward, grabbed and surrounded them, and for a time the whole royal street people turned over on their backs, and the chaos was inexorable. Seeing that the situation was not good, I sighed and said, "Let's go quickly, so as not to be killed by the fish in the pond for a while!" ”
