Chapter 300: Putting pressure on the emperor
Chapter 300: Putting pressure on the emperor
From yesterday to now, their experience has been like a nightmare, and they were still good before, and in the blink of an eye, they are lying in bed and unable to move. If it weren't for Li Luobing's diagnosis and treatment, their injuries would only be more serious, and in their eyes, Li Luobing would have been raised to a very high position.
What made Li Luobing feel relieved was that not only a few of them, but also the relatives of those students, as well as ordinary people who had never known each other, would come to the academy to help, which reduced their pressure a lot.
"Princess, I've brought something." Li Yi returned to the academy with a bunch of things, and Li Luobing took these things and put them all in the open space of the academy.
"Qiaosu, you help me by the side," Li Luobing rolled up his sleeves and said, "Li Yi, you deal with these things as I say." "She has to get the ointment out as soon as possible, and she must not delay the treatment of these people.
When Li Luobing was busy working in the academy, Chu Ruoyan had already arrived at the palace. After he got up early in the morning, he ran to the palace, and on the way, he also met a few ministers who were in a hurry, but Chu Ruoyan had no time to take care of anything else, and today's morning morning was a headache just thinking about it. After entering the palace, Chu Ruoyan met the King of Qin.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, how was yesterday?" Chu Ruoyang asked Chu Ruoyang.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness King Qin, I have been busy until late at night." Chu Ruoyan also fought back mercilessly, although this King of Qin promised the emperor to deal with these things with him yesterday, but just looking at it like that, it didn't play a substantive role at all.
Chu Ruoyang didn't fight back when he heard his words, and turned his head to look at the ministers passing by: "Today's morning dynasty will not be simple."
Although Chu Ruoyan didn't like King Qin, she also knew that what he said was right. Among these ministers, many of them have children in the academy, and they will definitely take this opportunity today to put pressure on the emperor.
The ministers gathered in the main hall one after another, and listened carefully to all the discussions about the academy being on fire, and when Chu Zhuangyan appeared in the main hall, people stopped talking and looked at Chu Zhuangyan, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter today.
After the people saluted, before Chu Zhuangyan could speak, a minister immediately stood up.
"Emperor Qiqi, I wonder if you know about the fire in the academy yesterday?"
Chu Zhuangyan looked at this minister, and he knew that someone would definitely mention this matter today: "I know, what does Aiqing want to say?"
"Yesterday's academy caught fire, it can be said that it is the biggest thing in Izumo Province, and the dead and injured are all our students from Izumo Province, and even the families of the ministers present, so the minister thinks that this matter must be strictly investigated." The minister said with a solemn expression.
"The minister thinks so, too."
"So is the minister." A group of ministers came forward to second. Chu Zhuangyan had a headache when he looked at such a situation, although he had expected it before, it was really difficult to control the situation when the crowd was excited.
"I have already asked King Yan and King Qin to investigate this matter, let's talk about the current situation!" Although Chu Zhuangyan mentioned King Qin in his words, his eyes were looking at Chu Ruoyan. Chu Ruoyan nodded and stood up.
"This time, the academy caught fire, and 21 people died, and many of them were seriously injured, all of whom stayed in the academy for diagnosis and treatment temporarily. As for the reason for the fire this time......" Chu Ruoyan said this, and glanced at Chu Zhuangyan.
"Now we can only suspect that someone deliberately set fire to the academy, and it is not clear who it is." Chu Ruoyan thought about it, but still didn't say anything about her suspicions about the prince. In the end, if it is really confirmed that it is Chu Ruoyan, then you have to talk to Chu Zhuangyan first.
"Deliberately set fires? Who would be so ruthless! ”
"Dozens of lives at once, this is really madness." Chu Ruoyan listened to the discussion of the ministers, and only sighed in her heart. These ministers couldn't imagine that it was very likely that the crown prince Chu Ruoyan would cause this situation.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, there is no conclusion now, and it is in vain to say it, how about discussing these things when there is progress in a few days?" Chu Zhuangyan opened his mouth to soothe the emotions of the ministers. After listening to Chu Zhuangyan's words, the ministers gradually quieted down. Chu Ruoyan was also relieved when he saw this situation, he thought that the court would be very intense today, but he didn't expect it to calm down like this.
An early dynasty ended in a thrilling situation, and after leaving the hall, the ministers all gathered around Chu Ruoyi.
"King Yan, what happened to the fire in the academy this time?"
"King Yan, who set the fire! You said that someone set the fire, but why haven't you caught it now, my son ......" A minister grabbed Chu Ruoyi's sleeve and shouted. His son was also a student in the academy, but he didn't run out and was crushed in the ruins alive.
"What happened yesterday, how can it be found out so quickly, this matter is very important, and there is no way to easily convict it." Chu Ruoyan looked at this minister, his temper was rare and good, if this minister dared to be so rude in normal times, he would have thrown it away.
"Isn't King Yan in Dali Temple, such a thing shouldn't be difficult for King Yan!" There were also ministers in the crowd who took the opportunity to stir up trouble, and after Chu Ruoyan looked over, because he didn't know who said it, he had to stop it. He struggled to break free of the crowd and finally left the palace.
After returning to the academy, Chu Ruoyao saw Li Luobing sorting out a bunch of medicinal materials in the courtyard, while Qiao Su and the others were helping her on the side.
"How much do you have to prepare?" Chu Ruoyao looked at the medicinal herbs all over the yard and asked.
Li Luobing had time to raise his head after grinding a bunch of herbs: "The more you prepare, the better, the ointment is almost used up now, and the burns will be difficult to treat in the next period of time, and it is quite difficult to try not to leave them with scars." Li Luobing wiped the sweat from his head, lowered his head and ground the herbs seriously.
"Then I'll help you too." Chu Ruoyao sat next to Li Luobing, pulled the herbs she was ready to cut in front of herself, and cut them down one by one, and talked to Li Luobing about what happened in the court today while cutting them.
"The emperor is not angry today?" When he learned about Chu Zhuangyan's performance from Chu Ruoyao, Li Luobing was also quite puzzled. She also thought that in the face of the ministers' doubts, Chu Zhuangyan would be furious.
"No, and I haven't explained who it is, I'll tell the emperor when I find out about this, and it's not something I can interfere with in the end." Chu Ruoyan told Li Luobing what happened.
"Also, the matter of the dead women before has also been revealed, and when the time comes, tell the emperor together with this matter, so that Chu Ruoyan's position may not be able to be preserved, and he will not be bullied and do evil." Chu Ruoyao talked to Li Luobing about his plan.
He knew that the matter of the academy alone could make Chu Zhuangyan abolish Chu Ruoyan, the crown prince, coupled with the previous women's affairs, as well as the promotion of officials in the court, Chu Ruoyan's position as the crown prince was no longer guaranteed.
"I didn't expect him to carry so many lives on his body, those women before were already amazing enough, plus the academy here, he was really as cruel as ever." Li Luobing probably pondered about the things that Chu Ruoyan had done, and none of the good things were remembered, but the wrong things he had done had been despised by the people.
"What's this, the most cruel thing is Chu Ruoyan's unwavering heart." Chu Ruoyan also sighed.
"Your Highness, two suspicious people have been caught." The guards at the city gate ran over and said to Chu Ruoyao.
"Suspicious people? How suspicious? ”
"When their subordinates asked them, their answers were very vague, and their clothes were dirty, and in the end they wanted to run away."
"Then bring them here!" Chu Ruoyan put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and said. They have been staying in the academy for the past two days, for fear of missing any details, and even more afraid that the injured students will not be treated.
After hearing this, the guards immediately brought the two in, as soon as these two entered the academy, Li Luobing was stunned, she knew these two people, it was Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua of the Li Mansion, but she was also surprised for a while, she had already left the Li Mansion, she couldn't control these things anymore, and she didn't want to care anymore.
The two of them had already begun to prepare before dawn.
In the inn, the two of them had prepared the silver needed to escape on the road, and some dry food and liquid, they didn't plan to escape far, they just wanted to avoid the limelight.
"Big brother, when do you think we can come back?" Li Jinhua sat in the dark and asked Li Jinlan. They were afraid that the candle flame would attract too much attention, and they didn't even light the candle, so they just sat in the room and waited quietly for the time to pass.
"I don't know when I'll be back, but I just hope that the two of us have enough money on us." Li Jinlan is a little worried about his life on the run. The two of them didn't have much silver on them, but they didn't dare to go back to the Li Mansion to get it, so they could only buy some of the cheapest dry food to take with them to satisfy their hunger.
"What if we run out of money and the limelight hasn't passed? I don't want to go hungry. Li Jinhua's mind was full of some terrible consequences, whether he went to report to the official or fled directly, he was very afraid.
"There's always a way, maybe we can go back before the money is spent!" Although Li Jinlan was also scared in his heart, he couldn't afford the consequences of going back, so he could only choose to flee, hoping that everything would fall on the crown prince Chu Ruoyan.
The two waited for a while, and when the sky was about to get brighter, they picked up their things and left the inn, they didn't dare to walk in the middle of the road along the way, they always walked on both sides of the road, although there were not many people at this time, but there were also some merchants who went out of the city, which made the hearts of the two settle down a little, so that their departure from the city would not seem too abrupt.
