Lin'an City, Hening Gate, the south gate of the imperial city.

In the early morning, the gold-armored guards were on duty, solemn and solemn, and pedestrians avoided from afar.

Suddenly, in the direction of the royal street directly opposite the Ning Gate, the crowd was surging, and a large group of students were surging, which made the vigilant guards commotion, and their faces were solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"It seems to be too much of a student!"

One of the guards cried out in horror.

"What are they doing here? Hurry up and inform Xia Shuai! ”

So many students came to the palace, and the momentum was violent, and the guards were dumbfounded.

Soon, the students arrived in front of the Hening Gate, and they knelt on the ground together, holding the music in their hands, and spoke in unison.

"Get rid of thieves for the country! Fushimi holy drive! ”

The students were impassioned, shouting in their mouths, and the momentum was so great that the guards did not dare to drive away, but only guarded the tightly closed palace gate.

The actions of the students had already alarmed the entire Royal Street, and countless people came to watch, and the front of the Ning Gate immediately became a sea of people.

Taixue was the second base for the imperial court to select officials in addition to the imperial examination. There are thousands of people who have learned too much, and although there are only one or two hundred people who come now, no one dares to ignore them.

There are a large number of Taixue students, whether it is during Taixue's study or after entering the office, it has a huge impact on the politics of the Great Song Dynasty.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Tai students often went to school, participated in politics frequently, and had a huge impact.

At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Dong, a student of Tai, wrote a letter advocating the use of Li Gang, repulsing Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, and actively fighting to restore the Central Plains, but was finally killed by Zhao Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. After Chen Dong's death, both knowledge and ignorance were runny, which shows that Chen Dong and his ideas won the hearts of the people and won the sympathy of the people of the time.

In the Song Xiaozong Dynasty, Tang Si, the minister of power, retired from power and continued to seek peace with Jin, which caused dissatisfaction among the students. Seventy-two people, including Zhang Guan, a student of Tai, wrote a book on Tang Sihui, Wang Zhiwang, Yin Sui and other treacherous and misleading the country, causing enemies, please behead them. Tang Si died of palpitations.

Song Guangzong was in power, and in November of the second year of Shaoxi, Song Guangzong did not visit his old father Song Xiaozong because of his physical illness.

In the Song Ningzong Dynasty, the Jin army was defeated in the southern invasion, but Shi Miyuan, the minister of power, did not take advantage of the victory to attack and recover the lost territory of the Central Plains, but adopted a passive policy of retreat, instructing his henchmen Hu Yu to discuss with the Jin, which directly angered the main battle faction and radical patriotic students. Where do you want to ask Hu Yu to thank the world. There are as many as 273 students who have written at the same time, which shows the depth of resentment.

It can be said that the Tai students have been participating in court affairs for a long time, and they have endured for a long time.

Today, without exception, the students are once again indignant.

In front of everyone's eyes, Tai students Jiang Wanli and Yu Jue walked out and stood in front of the team.

"Students, sit down and listen to me!"

Jiang Wanli shouted loudly. The onlookers and all the students who were sitting down quieted down together.

"Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is an idler in the countryside, with no talent and no virtue, but he has changed from a scoundrel to a prince and nobleman, and there are even traitors who want to support him and respect him as the prince. And Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, was brilliant and talented, but he was targeted everywhere by people with ill intentions, and even his Lin'er, the grandson of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was almost plotted and died. You say, "Is there any heavenly reason in this world?" The dignified Song Dynasty court was actually played with by these traitorous ministers. What is the face of the Great Song Emperor? What is the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

After Jiang Wanli finished speaking, Yu Jue picked it up again.

This famous anti-Mongolian general in history is still just a student of Taixue.

"Traitors are rampant, the government is stupid, what should we students do?"

Yu Jue's face was solemn, and he waved his fist and shouted loudly:

"We ask that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty quickly establish the Duke of Jiguo as the crown prince, in order to eliminate the hope of traitorous ministers!"

"Prince Suli! Prince Suli! ”

The students followed Yu Yu and shouted angrily together.

The guards on guard looked at each other, and then they realized that these Tai students came here to petition to promote Zhao Hong, the prince of Jiguo, as the crown prince.

It is no wonder that as the only prince of the Great Song Emperor, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, is now famous, but there is a gust of wind among them, saying that he is extravagant, and his son was almost poisoned.

The students were indignant, apparently because they were upset with Zhao Hong, and asked the emperor to make the prince early.

"Prince Suli! Prince Suli! ”

The students shouted together, and the people next to them also shouted. The crowd was hoarse, and the shouts spread far away, and the number of onlookers increased.

The tsunami-like noise from the mountains outside the palace had already alarmed Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on a futon and cultivating. For this Great Song Emperor, who was obsessed with cultivating to become an immortal, anything could happen, but he couldn't disturb his cultivation of his mind.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Zhao Kuo frowned and said to Advisor Li on the side.

"Listening to the guards who returned to the court, hundreds of students gathered outside the Hening Gate to petition the official family."

Li Gu replied cautiously.

"Petition what? What the hell is going on? ”

In addition to cultivating the Tao in his mind, Zhao Kuo remembered too few things.

"Back to the official's house, the students and the people petitioned, asking the official family to quickly appoint the prince, otherwise they would not leave."

"The imperial court has an heir, what does it matter to them?"

Zhao Kuo's face sank, and he thought for a moment before asking.

"Where is Je Guogong now?"

"Back to the official's house, it seems that Jiguo Gong is still casting firearms in Huiji, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Watching from the wall, it's so scheming."

Zhao Kuo snorted coldly in his nose and continued to ask.

"Li Gu, according to you, what should I do?"

Zhao Hong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, which surprised him and made him a little unhappy.

originally thought that Zhao Hong was a sincere gentleman, but now it seems that he has underestimated the world.

"Officials, eunuchs are not allowed to get involved in politics. Minions don't dare. ”

Li Gu hurriedly spoke.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

The noise outside kept coming, and Zhao Kuo was a little upset.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the reason why the students did this is related to the recent poisoning and murder of the emperor's grandson. Rumors spread in the market that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, was born with a vision and had the etiquette of an emperor. Those petitioners were born out of righteous indignation. ”

Li Gu said in a low voice, and looked around carefully.

"Li Gu, it seems that you and Zhao Hong are getting along well, and you also know how to speak for him."

Zhao Kuo sneered softly.

"The slave is loyal to the official family, and he has no second heart, and he asks the official family to be clear!"

Li Gu knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed frequently.

"Get up, I'm just asking, what are you panicking about."

Li Gu trembled, and Zhao Kuo looked at the Taiji diagram in front of him, as if he was talking to himself.

"This Zhao Hong, can make Tai students and Jin people speak for him, and he still has such means?"

Zhao Kuo was also suspicious. It is possible that the students were bewitched by Zhao Hong. But the envoy of the Jin State spoke for Zhao Hong, was it because of Zhao Hong's anti-Mongolian proposition in "Tatar Policy"?

After thinking about it, there is only one reason.

Li Gu was sweating profusely and didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor seems to be gentle and calm, but in fact he is thoughtful and knows everything.

"Li Gu, you went to pass on the decree and received the book from the students. Tell them that I will consider the matter of making a prince. ”

Finally, Zhao Kuo spoke softly.

"The officials, just afraid of saying this, they refuse to leave. In case it gets too big......"

Li Gu hesitated, his eyes flickering.

"Then you tell them, one month, no, two months. In two months, I will definitely make a prince. Get them out of here, and let me be quiet. It's noisy! ”

Zhao Kuo said hatefully, dizzy and irritable.

If these people don't leave, how can they still meditate? How to cultivate?

"The minions obey."

Li Gu hurriedly retreated gently.

No one can disturb the tranquility of this Great Song official's family.

However, he didn't understand that since the official family wanted to cultivate himself, why didn't he become the emperor, so that no one would bother.

I still don't want to let go of any bit of power in my hands!

"It seems that we have to use some stratagem!"

Li Gu went out, and Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly.

The queen, how can she get through casually.

His eyes swept to the wine jug, Zhao Kuo's heart moved, and he turned his wheelchair to the table.

"Jiang Wanli, Yu Jue, you are all students who are in the upper house, and you are doing well, so you may have to be sent to work. You are here to coerce public opinion and deceive sentient beings, don't you want your own career? ”

Xue Ji, the governor of the political affairs, came out, blackened his face, and reprimanded Jiang Wanli and Yu Jue.

"Jiang Wanli, the prince of Jiguo should not be the prince, and the court has its own rules. The kings of our dynasty all established princes before the great line. If you do this, aren't you cursing the officials, so let's retreat quickly! ”

Hu Yu, another political counselor, also persuaded him bitterly.

"Xue Xianggong, Hu Xianggong, this is not true. In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong established Emperor Xiaozong as the crown prince, and the prince of this dynasty was established as the prince in the third year of the opening of the jubilee. Besides, we are just here to petition, so why do we want to deceive people's minds? His Royal Highness Jeguogong, as the only prince of the official family, has been dormant for four years, why can't he be made the crown prince? Is there anything great wrong with him? Is the court going to depose him? ”

Jiang Wanli opened his mouth, and Hu Xue and the others who asked were dumbfounded and speechless.

"Hu Xianggong, don't be alarmist. There is no shortage of precedents for me to establish a crown prince early. I would like to ask, you who participate in political affairs turn a blind eye to the poisoning of the emperor and grandson, and allow the public to slander the prince Zhao Hong. Such inaction, I am afraid that I will lose the trust of the official family! In today's situation, not to mention that Jiguo Gong was made the crown prince, I am afraid that his position as a prince will also be abolished. ”

Yu Jue smiled coldly and waved his hand.

"This ......"

Xue Ji and Hu Yu looked at each other, speechless for a while.

The prince was poisoned, and the matter has been full of turmoil. If it is allowed to ferment, I am afraid that it will cause a student tide, and the situation will get worse and worse.

"Xue Xianggong, Hu Xianggong, I just want to know, why can't His Royal Highness Jiguogong, as the only prince of my Great Song Emperor, be made the crown prince? Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, has dragon scales on his body, and his house is full of incense when he was born, should these things be investigated, who is behind him to build momentum? What do they want to do, to usurp the crown prince? ”

After Jiang Wanli finished speaking, he shook his fist and roared angrily at the surging students and people.

"Establish the prince early, establish the prince early!"

"Establish the prince early, establish the prince early!"

The people and the students echoed together, and the sound shook the sky.

Li Gu, the emperor's close attendant, ran out and whispered a few words in Xue Ji's ear, Xue Ji nodded and shouted loudly at the Tai students.

"The emperor has a decree to collect all the books of the Tai students, and the emperor will personally read them!"

Xue Ji instructed the officials to collect all the books of the Tai students and send them to the palace.

"Jiang Wanli, Yu Jue, all students, hurry back, don't mess around anymore!"

Xue Ji waved his hand and was about to leave with his sleeves up.

"Xue Xianggong, we are waiting here. When the official family promised me to wait, I waited when I left. ”

Jiang Wanli was unyielding and sat down with Yu Jue, and the crowd was suddenly silent.

"It's stubborn, stupid!"

Xue Ji looked at Li Gu, and then said loudly:

"The official family has already said that within two months, the imperial court will appoint Jiguo Gong as the crown prince. Now, you should be satisfied, right? ”

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Jiang Wanli and Yu Jue glanced at each other, knelt down together, and shouted long live on the mountain.

Emperor Chrysostom said that if he broke his promise at that time, he would write a book in Lai Fuque.

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

All the students and the people shouted together, and then they were satisfied and left one after another.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Li Gu had a black face.

What the emperor said, can it really be fulfilled?
