Whether it is a hunter shuttling in the forest or a fisherman boating on the river, they all know some ways of 'observing the wind and measuring the rain', but these principles from nature have no effect on the prince who is on the cusp of the storm. It was all because by the time he observed the 'wind rising', the 'downpour' that he was afraid to avoid had already fallen.

Since Wang Qi and Wang Xu's father and son were imprisoned in the clan mansion, those 'folk rumors' that mapped the crown prince and the second prince have really stopped. The people of Fengjing City are enthusiastic about these things, and they don't have the idea of 'presiding over justice' at all, but they are just to relieve boredom and pass the time of boredom. In the eyes of the people of Youbei, whether it is Yan Qinghong's swinger or Yan Day's vicious villain, they are just raccoon dogs who will reach out to themselves to ask for silver.

But fortunately, several strange things have happened in Fengjing City recently, but it is enough to overwhelm the people of Fengjing City.

First of all, at the beginning of the establishment of the country on Youbei Third Road, a stone tablet was erected outside the east gate of Fengjing, the capital, which oozes 'blood and tears' for no reason; The strangest thing is that the statue of the Confucian saint in the Sanlin Academy was shattered for no reason in front of everyone's eyes and turned into fragments of mud.

If these strange things are in order, or if they don't attract everyone's attention; However, all kinds of strange things happened in all walks of life, in the city of Fengjing, among the farmers and industrialists, at the same time, which is equivalent to finding some 'common language' for all the idle people.

Under the hot topic, those storytellers who 'talk about the past and the present' are not exempt from vulgarity, and the recent long and short bibliographies are also the themes of these 'strange forces and chaos' stories: for example, what 'green, white, red, yellow and black' five emperors came to the world, and what kind of glowing demon stars are causing chaos in the world...... Although at the end of the day, they are all old-fashioned stories of mysteries and mysteries, gods and demons; However, through these mysterious 'visions from heaven' in recent days, several 'people who understand' in the audience have also 'distilled' their own 'original stories' from them:

"You don't know, do you? The stone tablet that stood outside the East City Gate a hundred years ago was stained with the immortal spirits of the three 'reincarnated immortals' of Yan, Guo and Li; this was the great shaman at that time, who attracted the original power of shamanism - the stone fire god, and exhausted his life's 'divine skills' to attach it! Now this heroic spirit stele sheds blood and tears, and it is clear that the ancestors and ancestors of the northern part of the country think that there are traitors in the court today, and there is the best omen of the faint king in the northern part of the country! What the? Catch me? I'm not afraid! When I went to Nankang three years ago to sell goods, I was already enrolled in Nankang! Want to take me, the 'Nankang Master'? I'm afraid that their Yan family's hands won't be able to stretch out so long! ”

"Do you know the big red horse that turned white in Mule and Horse City? That's not a mortal thing! I know a senior who knows how to 'equestrian in ancient times', and they told me that the red horse is the mount of the ancient Zhou Tianzi, and it is the first of the 'Eight Horses Divine Map': the Chiji Divine Horse! Come to think of it, what does this red mean? Prosperous, prosperous, auspicious! But now this auspicious BMW has 'turned white' overnight, and it is clearly a faint minister, which has caused God to be angry! Why, you ask? What does that white mean, don't you know? Or I'll paint your door white tomorrow? ”

"My old Zhou has been running a boat all my life, and I have never heard of a hundred pounds of big fish jumping into the fisherman's boat by myself! What? You say this proves that the year is good? Ay...... You juniors really don't know anything! The big fish that reaches 100 catties above is not a fish species at all, but the dragon king in the river, a dragon species! Haven't you heard the phrase carp jumping over the dragon gate? As long as you can live past a hundred catties and not die, then these 'dragon lords' who have attained the Tao will all sink to the bottom of the river and guard its 'crystal palace'! Unbelief? You are all over the Huayu Continent to inquire, who has hit a big fish up to 100 catties? Moreover, there are also rules handed down from ancestors in the fishing industry: even if you really hit a big fish with more than 100 catties, you have to obediently invite the 'Dragon King' back to the water, and you have to burn three pillars of incense and worship for more than three days in a row. Unbelief? Oh, you go and ask Master Song of Huiyou Building, even if it is the largest restaurant in our Youbei, do you dare to collect more than 100 catties of 'Dragon King' to cook?

It is often this kind of mysterious legend that mixes truth and falsehood, fiction and reality, that is most popular with the people. And after listening to others' retellings, everyone will add their own understanding and ideas to the original story, and complete all the omissions in the whole story in the way of 'working together, beating drums and passing flowers'. After gathering the 'unique wisdom' and 'interest orientation' of the people, these original stories that were full of mistakes, omissions, and naïve and ridiculous have become 'the monarch is mediocre and cruel, the ministers are greedy, the war has lasted for a hundred years, and the people are struggling to make a living. Because of this, the heavens are angry, and the entire Youbei Sanlu is about to collapse and the earth will collapse, the rivers will pour back, everything will wither, and not a single grass will grow.

When these 'rumors' with the taste of doomsday judgment reached their peak, Sanbei Academy suddenly broke out a huge 'pre-court sit-in' movement. Of course, the purpose of their trip was very simple, and the demands they put forward were also very 'materialistic' - it was just to ask Yan Yan to release the Wang family father and son who were imprisoned in the clan palace prison and restore the reputation of the two of them.

Unfortunately, these students went on hunger strike for three days without receiving any response from the imperial court. Of course, from Yan Tian's point of view, there is no 'technical' problem in releasing the Wang family's father and son, because the current clan mansion elder Yan Jiuning has returned to the clan mansion many days ago to 'recuperate', and the current clan mansion from top to bottom is only the head of himself, the 'king of a country';

However, if he orders the release of the Wang family's father and son, then it will be equivalent to confirming the injustices he has suffered. The reason is also obvious, if the father and son of the Wang family are 'restored', it will be tantamount to acquiescing to the truth of the rumors spread by Wang Xu; is equivalent to admitting that he is really a tyrannical king who killed his father and usurped power, murdered his brother, burned his aunt, and poisoned the people; Moreover, once their father and son are let out, then Wang Qi, the 'old official oil', is not important, and Wang Huainan, who has become the 'leader of the Shizi', will not directly ascend to the altar? If he had been frightened by the few days of imprisonment, it would have been a good thing; But once his 'naïve and ridiculous' rebellious psychology is aroused and he becomes a 'clear stream minister' who would rather bend, then the students of Sanbei Academy don't know how big a basket they can poke out under his 'wave of his arms'.

Therefore, it's really not that the prince who is blocked at home doesn't want to express his position, he is currently in a dilemma, and everything is wrong!

The students sat in silence outside the south gate of the palace. There is a market stall that is customary for the common people, and it is a lively place full of people from morning to night. Now there is a group of 'iron-clad and deadly' scholars in this place, which makes the ordinary people who like to join in the fun 'ecstatic'!

Youbei was originally a bitter cold place of 'not being able to pass through the king', as long as a 'literate' person came, no matter how he originally mixed with Nankang in Beiyan, he would be honored as 'Mr' in Youbei Sanlu. Nowadays, so many young and promising 'little gentlemen' with good character are going on a hunger strike and meditating in front of this palace, which really makes the people feel a little distressed.

"I said, Brother Li, you have been selling goods from south to north for so many years, so you are naturally more knowledgeable than our women's family. Tell us, what are these 'little gentlemen' doing sitting here without eating, drinking, or talking? ”

An onlooker lady watched the students the size of his grandson go on a hunger strike and meditate, and couldn't help but feel compassion. So, she asked a young man dressed as a merchant next to her for advice.

The merchant who was called 'Brother Li' turned sideways when he heard this, pointed to the students who were meditating with their eyes closed, and introduced:

"I've heard people say that these 'little gentlemen' want to seek justice from the prince! Their seniors were imprisoned by the prince for no reason, and they are avenging their classmates! This sitting without eating or drinking is also a way to imitate the ancestors' 'death advice', and I want the prince to give them an explanation. ”

"What do you mean by a 'dead admonition'?"

"It's to personally say something to the emperor that people don't want to hear."

"Then why do you want to say it when you know that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it? Isn't this death? ”

"Because these 'little gentlemen' have all read! They feel that the prince is unfair and arrests people without charge, so they will follow the example of the great loyal ministers to 'risk death to admonish'! Otherwise, if you think about it, even these literate and hyphenated little gentlemen can be put in prison for no reason, then wouldn't the life of our ordinary people be even more sad? ”

"But if you sit here and don't eat or speak, you're a loyal minister? If I sit behind them, will I be considered a loyal servant? ”

"I said, Aunt Seven, don't make a mess of you when you're so old. If you want to be a loyal minister, you must know the words first! ”

Although the seventh aunt who was persuaded by Brother Li did not join the 'meditation army', there were also many enthusiastic aunts and aunts who brought dry food and water from home, etc., while persuading the students to 'eat a bite secretly, no one can see it', while turning their backs and secretly wiping their tears......

Soon after, many of these illiterate ordinary people joined the queue of 'loyal ministers'.
