Meanwhile.

At the gate of the palace, the carriages of the six great Confucians had already stopped here.

Their expressions were not good-looking, and Lianduan walked towards the palace gate.

When the Imperial Forest Army saw someone coming, they quickly stopped the palace gate, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army led by him asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

The six great Confucians glanced at him, and Guo Qing, who was the leader, had a slightly cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I am Guo Qing from Shandong, and behind me are Wu Han from Donglin Academy, Zhao Jing from Bailudong Academy, Yue Yunde from Yuelu Academy, and Jiangxi Wangzhijing." ”

"We are going to meet the emperor, please go and report it."

Shandong Guo Qing?

The face of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army changed slightly, and he remembered.

This Shandong Guo Qing seems to be the Confucian who burned the granary of Qingzhou with Yu University, but he made a great contribution to the imperial court.

And other Confucian scholars are also the top Confucians in the country, this is a huge Confucian force, the power of scholars, why would they unite into the palace.

Just the gathering of these five great Confucians has already made the commander of the Royal Forest Army secretly frightened.

What is it that makes these great Confucians gather and want to meet the emperor?

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is not an ordinary person, he knows that these great Confucians are in charge of the hearts of the scholars in the world, and even many officials in the court and the central government were once their disciples, so the commander of the Royal Forest Army did not underestimate them at all.

They want to meet the emperor, and they are still qualified.

"Okay, I'll send someone to report it." The commander of the Imperial Forest Army nodded hurriedly and ordered the people behind him to report the news.

After the guards who reported the news left, the six great Confucians glanced at each other, and stood in place one after another, waiting quietly.

Their expressions were somewhat angry and unhappy.

Guo Qing snorted: "When I see the emperor later, I must ask which corrupt official dares to frame Zhongliang." ”

"yes!"

"Brother Fan is running everywhere, just to open the sea ban, and when I enter the palace this time, I will definitely come to make it clear to the emperor."

Several great Confucians bowed their heads one after another and expressed their approval.

Soon, from inside the palace, the guard ran back.

He was out of breath and reported to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army: "My lord, the prince said that let the five great Confucians go back to rest first, and then he will personally go to see the five great Confucians." ”

When the words fell, Guo Qing and the others' faces changed, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army smiled awkwardly: "Five gentlemen, you see, the prince has already ordered, and it's not good for me to let people in......"

The five great Confucians glanced at each other, and their faces turned even more pale.

Guo Qing nodded: "Since the prince won't let me, I won't embarrass you, so I'll leave, but we'll come back tomorrow!" ”

"If the crown prince or the emperor doesn't see us for a day, we will come every day."

As Confucian masters, Guo Qing and the others are not dead enough to make trouble in the palace, but they can come to remind the emperor every day.

"Okay, I will definitely convey these words to the crown prince." The commander of the Royal Forest Army was busy.

When he turned around, Guo Qing's face was a little ugly, he knew that the prince was deliberately avoiding them.

It seems that it will be difficult to meet the emperor next.

Several great Confucians knew this, and they all glanced at each other, and their faces were a little unsightly.

Guo Qing snorted coldly: "Brother Fan has been insisting on opening the sea ban, how can we do nothing?" ”

"We are bound to participate in such a major event that benefits the country and the people."

"Tomorrow, we'll keep coming."

Several Confucians nodded and turned to leave.

Next, naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette would entertain them, because they were representatives of Confucianism, and the imperial court also treated them with great courtesy.

Soon, the five great Confucians were arranged to live in Yingtian Station.

……

When Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi arrived at the gate of the palace, they had already learned that several Confucians had left.

Yang Shiqi probably guessed that the prince would not see them, so there was not much change on his face, and everything was as usual.

It's just that when the five great Confucians enter Beijing, Ying Tianfu will not be calm.

This is well known to everyone.

There must be a result in the matter of opening the sea ban.

However, for Yang Shiqi at the moment, this is secondary.

Touching his beard, Yang Shiqi looked at the other two bigwigs: "Today I suspended the questioning and beheading of the Criminal Department, I want to take responsibility, tomorrow, we will gather here and enter the palace together to ask for guilt." ”

Jian Yi nodded: "Okay." ”

Xia Yuanji also bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”

Yang Shiqi was a little relieved, and after saying goodbye to the two adults, he turned around and left.

Xia Yuanji was also about to say goodbye, but Jian Yi smiled at him: "Lord Xia, tomorrow, I have a stomachache, and I may not be able to come." ”

In the smile, there is a feeling of a little black belly.

As soon as people listen to it, they feel like there is a conspiracy!

Facing Jian Yi, who has always been black-bellied, Xia Yuanji instantly understood the other party's thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face: "Tomorrow, it seems that I have to accompany my granddaughter to the temple to offer incense, and I may not be able to come." ”

Jian Yi nodded: "Understand, understand." ”

Natsuhara also laughed.

……

Next.

Early in the morning, at midnight.

Today, the prince was afraid of seeing those five great Confucians again, so he did not let the hundred officials go to court, and the hundred officials were able to rest for a day.

However, at the beginning of the morning, Yang Shiqi had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

After waiting at the gate of the palace for a while, Yang Shiqi never saw the two of them coming, and his face suddenly turned black into coal, and he had the urge to go wild.

Why haven't they come yet?

Waited a little longer.

Yang Shiqi was almost sure that he had been trapped.

Yesterday's crime, he will bear it alone.

Yang Shiqi, whose face turned black into coal, didn't wait any longer and chose to enter the palace to go to the imperial study.

About an hour later, Yang Shiqi returned.

It's just that this time, Yang Shiqi's face is even more ugly.

Because by coincidence, I met the emperor in the imperial study.

Coincidentally, the excerpt of the Criminal Department had been handed to the emperor, and Zhu Di directly criticized Yang Shiqi and fined him for three months.

Walking on the palace road, Yang Shiqi was extremely depressed.

This is the responsibility shared by three people, why did he bear it alone?

"This old thief is the most black-hearted on weekdays, I have to settle accounts with him, he must have picked him up." Yang Shiqi was not angry in his heart, and was about to go to Jianyi to settle accounts.

But at this moment, he happened to walk to the gate of the palace.

The doorway has been blocked.

Hundreds of students dressed in Confucian robes, including the five great Confucians, stood quietly at the gate of the palace, and they didn't make a fuss, they just stood there quietly.

Yang Shiqi couldn't help it, and stepped forward to ask.

When the five great Confucians saw Yang Shiqi, they saluted one after another.

After inquiry, I learned that the five great Confucians with their disciples were waiting for the emperor to summon them.

If they don't see the emperor for a day, they don't leave for a day.

Don't scold, don't make trouble, just stand at the door and put pressure on the court!

This is a very clever method, even Yang Shiqi sighed.

Just, is this possible?
