Chapter 344: State Guesthouse
The magnificent, state-of-the-art state guesthouse in the south of Lin'an City, which highlights the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, has become a vegetable market at the moment. Countless crowds crowded in front of the tall and noble archway of the state guesthouse, cursing and shouting something.
In the face of being separated from the state guesthouse, cursing constantly, and even from time to time, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves suddenly flew out of the crowd and then fell on their heads and faces.
It is hard to imagine that the soldiers in front of the palace who were still in Lin'an City not long ago were like wolves and tigers in the face of these provocative crowds were able to endure quietly until now without any action.
However, looking at those who were mostly wearing Confucian robes, and occasionally the figure in soap-colored Confucian robes flashing in the crowd, it seemed that it was not difficult to figure out why the soldiers of the front division of the palace were so receptive.
The sedan chair that came rushing and a large number of soldiers in front of the palace who followed finally made the outside of the state guest house a lot quieter for a while.
The soldiers in front of the palace who rushed to the palace, Liu Xiang, who took the lead, knew many of the scholars present. Prior to this, Liu Xiang, as the commander of the front division of the palace, personally came forward more than once to persuade those students of the Guozijian and the scholars who came from other places not to storm the state guesthouse and not to provoke the Mongols at the critical time of the prince's canonization ceremony, so he was familiar with these scholars whose hearts were already full of patriotic sentiments.
"It's Commander Liu......"
"What about Commander Liu? It is said that we are not guilty of words and books, and we just want to drive the Mongol envoys out of Lin'an City......"
"Brother Ren is right, I just want to let the court know and let the Mongols know that there are still hot-blooded men in my Song people......"
"Hey, this brother, who did you say was sitting in the sedan chair?"
"It must be the adults of the Ministry of Rites, didn't I see that Commander Liu was waiting by the sedan chair......"
"The experts of the Ministry of Rites have just arrived, and we must let the adults of the Ministry of Rites petition us to the Holy Lord and drive the Mongols out of Lin'an City!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Go to the adults of the Ministry of Rites to petition, the Mongolian envoys are molesting the female dependents of the envoys from various countries in my Great Song State Guesthouse, and they really don't take my Great Song Dynasty in their eyes, and they will definitely expel these barbarians from Lin'an City......"
……
The silence lasted only a moment, and the various chatters suddenly became even louder than before. The crowd that had originally gathered at the gate of the State Guesthouse began to swarm towards the sedan car stop on Jia Rudao.
"My lord, they are all scholars, and it seems that they want to surround the sedan chair of the adults. Why don't adults change their way to the state guesthouse? ”
Liu Xiang ordered the soldiers in front of the palace who followed to surround Jia Yidao's sedan chair in the middle, so as not to be collided by those scholars who didn't know the height of the sky, and bowed in front of the sedan curtain and whispered.
Even if Liu Xiang didn't say anything, Jia Rudao had already heard the noise outside the sedan chair. The discussion of the scholars outside did not suppress their voices, why did the envoys of the four countries in the state guesthouse fight. However, Jia Rudao did not say that it was okay to blame all the faults on the Mongols, after all, the Mongolian envoys were the first to come to Ancheng, and for so long, no matter whether the Mongols won or lost on the frontal battlefield, although the Mongols were sometimes very domineering, but they were still polite and law-abiding, so as soon as the envoys of the other three countries came, they were exaggerated to the point of molesting the female dependents in the envoys?
"Liang Shilang's Commander Liu can send someone to inform?"
Jia Rudao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Back to my lord, the last general has already sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to invite Liang Shilang to come, and now he must be on the way. Adult ......"
"It doesn't matter, these scholars are all in the middle of their blood, and there are people who instigate them, so there will be such a situation. You order the soldiers in front of the palace not to move gently, lest the situation escalate. ”
Jia Yidao naturally knew that Liu Xiang wanted him to change the door and enter the state guesthouse, but he didn't plan to do so.
As he was talking, the big waves of soldiers had already swarmed over and surrounded Jia Nidao's sedan chair, if it weren't for the soldiers of the front division of the palace to block it outside, I am afraid that they would have rushed to Jia Nidao's sedan chair at this moment.
Liu Xiang heard Jia Yidao's words, and a wry smile appeared on his face. Look at the soldiers in front of the State Guesthouse who still have rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on their heads and faces, where is there no Sven? It's obvious that those scholars are bullying us, okay?
"I wonder which of the Rites Department is here? Please also make the decision for us and ask the Holy Admiral to drive out the Mongolian barbarians who molested the envoys and daughters of other countries out of Lin'an City! ”
Seeing that there were soldiers in front of the palace who could not approach the sedan chair, the soldiers had to shout loudly towards the sedan chair.
"You are waiting for Hugh to be noisy, Lord Jia of Guanwen Temple University is here."
Liu Xiang's shouts were obviously no match for the scholars outside the sedan chair, at least the men who were constantly shouting, but after all, there were still people close to hear Liu Xiang's shouts.
"Master Jia, the scholar of the Guanbundian University?"
"Which Lord Jia?"
“……”
These words were exchanged for the idiot-like eyes of the person next to him.
"Which Lord Jia are you talking about? Are there any other scholars in the Great Song Dynasty now? ”
"Huh? It's him! ”
"Master Jia is here! Lord Jia is here! ”
The news of Jia Rudao's arrival soon reached the ears of the scholars who were swarming in, and the noise around them gradually subsided until the huge street was silent.
In the crowd, the dozens of students who had been shuttling among the scholars in the costumes of the Guozijian had their faces unprovoked and became a little frightened, and several figures played each other's colors, taking advantage of the chaos, they quietly disappeared in the alleys on the side of the street, and disappeared after a while.
Looking at the surrounding scholars who suddenly became quiet and their eyes were hot, Liu Xiang's heart was full of helplessness. It's not once or twice to deal with these untouchable soldiers, which time is not to say that the spit is flying but has no effect? Even talking too much was abused by these scholars, but now? Jia seems to be a Taoist who has not yet appeared, just by reporting a name, let these scholars be like this, it is really incomparable between people.
However, thinking about Li Mingfu, Qiao Xingjian and other high-ranking ministers who were deflated in the hands of Jia Yidao, Liu Xiang's heart suddenly became a little balanced again. Important ministers such as Qiao Xingjian and Li Mingfu were overshadowed in front of this young imperial relative, what could they count?
Liu Xiang was still distracted, and here Jia Rudao had already lifted the sedan curtain and walked out.
Seeing Jia Rudao appear, the cadres gathered outside the sedan chair suddenly made a commotion, and unconsciously took a few steps back together, making the people behind who had not yet figured out the situation exclaim.
