Chapter 199 The Emperor Pardoned, but the People Refused to Accept It, and the Academicians and Scholars Remonstrated with the Imperial City.

Soon, three days passed.

With the end of Dongtian, the news of the death of King Jin and King Chu quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.

Princes, princesses, and foreign monks from various dynasties who survived the cave have all returned to their own countries. They are horrified by everything they experienced in the cave. In those days, the demon clan was so strange and evil, and the big demon was so terrifying. Many monks told their stories one by one, causing all the countries in Middle-earth to talk about it and fear the demon clan.

After all, few small countries can see their own envoys and return to their own countries.

At the same time, there was another major event. The news that Huai'an King Lu Mingyuan was pardoned quickly spread throughout the imperial capital by way of an announcement in the Drum Academy.

Many people knew that the former number one dandy in the capital was about to be acquitted.

As soon as the news came out, the capital and major academies exploded.

They all believed that it was Lu Mingyuan who let go of the enchantress of the Demon Kingdom, which caused the enchantress to ascend the throne and become the emperor, attracting monstrous revenge. The armies of the Holy and Underworld were swarming beside them, watching with eager eyes on the sides of the Great Walls. The people on the border were trembling with fear, and were on the verge of fear all day long. .

No matter what the reason is, whether it is forced or framed, it cannot be washed away!

Of course, most people don't care whether it's true or not. If they hear the wind, it's wind, if they hear the rain, it's rain. If others say Lu Mingyuan is not a good person, then he is not a good person.

Some people just can't stand Lu Mingyuan. Why can this notorious playboy be pardoned?

So I also joined the condemnation army.

For a time, numerous letters of remonstrance were piled up on the desk of Jian Tai Si.

The cabinet also received memorials and reports from many officials, stating that people in various places were extremely resentful. Most of this "people" were concentrated in aristocratic families, noble families, and many family members of deceased sergeants.

Emperor Yong'an spent ten years in the army, spent countless efforts, and mobilized the whole country to mobilize an army of 800,000 people, known as an army of one million, before he defeated Da Ming and captured the demon girl alive.

In that battle, hundreds of thousands of people died in Dayan in order to annihilate the living forces of the Demon Kingdom. The families of these elite soldiers enjoyed a very high status in Dayan.

In three days, the cabinet was questioned thirteen times by different scholars from major academies in Dayan.

However, the result did not change at all due to the monstrous abuse.

The chief officer of the Admonition Department, admonished the doctor Qi Xingyan, saying that the matter was decided by the emperor and passed by the cabinet. It was not made out of thin air. There was indeed a grievance. Denwen Drum Court passed the preliminary review. At this stage, no remonstrances criticizing the decree were accepted. .

Moreover, those who exaggerate and spread rumors to cause trouble will be severely punished by the Jian Tai Division.

Obviously the scholars in the capital did not expect Jian Taisi's attitude to be so tough.

However, how could they believe Qi Xingyan's lies?

Through the development of the past dynasties, the Jiantai Division gained a new power in Dayan, the right to make inquiries.

As long as the decree has not been issued to the imperial palace, half of the officials of the Jiantai Division have voted to pass it, and the Jianyi doctor has made a decision, he has the power to make suggestions and make inquiries. The power is very powerful, similar to the province of menxia, ​​but he does not have the power of rejection by the menxiamen.

As an admonishing doctor, Qi Xingyan knew that Lu Mingyuan was guilty of a serious crime, but chose to cover him up. His position is self-evident.

The great scholars from all major academies knew what Qi Xingyan was planning.

He asked his son-in-law to leave the palace and have the qualifications to compete for the throne!

Since Jian Taisi responded, Qi Xingyan's reputation has plummeted.

Pretending to be a great scholar!

Protect your son-in-law!

Complicity!

With three hats slapped, many students from Shengjing Academy left. They felt ashamed that they were academicians of Shengjing Academy!

But such people are in the minority after all. Being able to enter Shengjing Academy and study at the feet of the Emperor is the dream of many scholars in Middle-earth. Most students can only curse a few words behind their backs, but dare not talk about it in the academy. .

Because Qi Xingyan was not only an admonishing doctor, but also the head of the Shengjing Academy. If his elders heard about it and slandered his son-in-law, there would be no good consequences.

Learn from the past and learn from those behind.

Different from Qi Xingyan's positive response, the cabinet learned wisely and chose to pretend to be dead in the face of the torrent of abuse. They didn't know anything and didn't ask questions. Let the memorials just pile up. Anyway, most of them are filthy words without nutrition.

The reason why no one in the cabinet dared to take the lead in making trouble was due to the existence of secondary assistants.

No one wants to offend Wang Hefu.

Today, Wang Hefu has become Yuan Xuangang's right-hand man.

Now, Yuan Xuangang has always rarely interfered with the affairs of the cabinet. He will only get involved unless it is a major matter related to a country. All other trivial matters are left to Wang Hefu.

Many cabinet ministers think so.

Yuan Xuangang was making way for Wang Hefu.

In the near future, if the Holy Emperor dies, the chief minister of thirty years may have to return to the Confucian Temple to retire.

As the saying goes, one emperor has one minister.

The future new chief assistant will be Wang Hefu.

Such and such, how dare they offend?

Their qualifications are far from enough, and they cannot compete with Wang Hefu.

Wang Hefu has been an official for more than ten years and has been in the court for more than twenty years. He is a man of scheming, good military skills and good words. He has stood firm in the court. Now he is on the rise and is on the top of his fortune. Not many people are willing to offend him.

With these two giant Buddhas here, even though the streets of the capital city are noisy, the Great Yan Palace remains motionless.

Little did they know that such an action would trigger a riot of greater dissatisfaction.

Imperial City.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

In the Wang family's mansion, the old housekeeper ran into the hall and quickly reported to Wang Hefu who was reading a book in the study.

"What's the matter, are you in such a panic?"

Wang Hefu raised his eyes slightly and asked calmly.

The old housekeeper had no room to breathe, so he panted quickly: "Many academicians, as well as the people of the imperial capital, all knelt in front of the imperial city gate, asking the Holy One to withdraw his pardon!"

"What?"

Wang Hefu wore bamboo-colored uniforms, sat up straight, squinted his eyes, and rubbed the jade ring on his fingertips. He seemed to have expected it, and was surprised but not surprised. He sighed:

"Sure enough, this day is still coming."

When he knew that his grandson had received the imperial edict, he had a premonition that there would be dissatisfaction among the people, and there was no lack of deliberate efforts by well-intentioned people. More importantly, it was Empress Ming's imperial edict that set off a riot within Dayan.

It really plays with people's hearts to the extreme.

Also playing the game was the aloof Ninth Five Supreme Being.

Everyone thinks that Wang Hefu is the new candidate for the future chief assistant.

Only he himself knows the truth.

He didn't think he could take the position of chief assistant.

the reason is simple.

He was able to enter the cabinet in the first place purely because of his grandson's blessing.

Now that Lu Mingyuan is getting closer and closer to the throne, he is getting further and further away from the position of chief minister.

The eldest prince’s lessons are still there.

A prince of the East Palace and a chief minister of the cabinet are extremely important positions. No emperor would be willing to see a situation where he would be eliminated before he died.

Even if he is reused, it will only be after the death of the Holy Sage.

Wang Hefu was very sober at this moment and told the old housekeeper: "Prepare the sedan chair. I will go to the cabinet."

With the Holy Emperor's methods, it is still unknown when he will be given the position of secondary assistant.

Before that, you must first pave the way for your good grandson.

At this moment.

As soon as Qi Muxue walked out of Shengjing Academy after teaching, she saw many academicians walking towards the gate of the imperial city to the palace.

It was crowded and noisy.

This was the first time she had seen the imperial city so lively except for festivals.

Qi Muxue walked forward with her textbook under her arm, and soon saw rows of young scholars in Confucian shirts kneeling at the gate of the imperial city, and even many common people.

There was constant shouting in the middle:

"Why didn't Jedai Secretary do anything? I want to see Mr. Qi!"

"Ask the Holy One to take back his life!"

"Cabinet ministers should plead for the world, how can they pretend to be deaf and dumb!"

Listening to these speeches, Qi Muxue probably guessed what happened. She found one middle-aged woman wearing a white scarf on her head and asked:

"They are here to see the cabinet, why are you kneeling here?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes were red and she said: "My husband fought for the country and became a general at school, but he was accidentally killed on the battlefield. He should have done a great job and received a large reward, but because of the sixth prince's incident, his pension has been reduced by half. Don’t tell me, all the hard work has been wasted. My son is now being forced to join the army by the court to deal with the invasion of the demon country. Now, the King of Huai’an is safe and sound. Please give me justice by the court!”

After Qi Muxue heard these words, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Originally, Dayan could say that he had won a great victory.

However, the escape of the enchantress from the Demon Kingdom led to external characterization, which can only be regarded as a tragic victory.

In addition, the Demon Kingdom is now back, which makes the situation even worse.

Due to her status, it was difficult for her to persuade, let alone stop anything.

I could only sigh deeply.

Rensheng praised "people with lofty ideals and benevolence, who do not want to live to harm their benevolence, but who have to kill themselves to achieve benevolence."

These young scholars are all interpreting this point.

So she is very conflicted now. She is studying Confucianism, but in the end, she has no ideas of her own. This is the reason why she has been unable to improve her cultivation.

Although she was dubbed by the world as the most talented woman in the Imperial Capital, no one had ever said that she had made any outstanding contributions in some aspects. She always believed that her virtue was not worthy of her position.

Before figuring out which avenue you should take.

She was unable to reach the fifth level of middle school and had no hope of attaining enlightenment.

Qi Muxue took one last look at the people kneeling in front of the imperial city, and chose to leave.

Lu Mingyuan, who was far away in the cold palace, did not notice the changes in the imperial city.

After listening to Yun Qinghe's words that day, he later realized that there was a bigger game waiting for him, so he buried his head and began to practice silently to deal with the upcoming crisis.

Under Ziyun's feeding, Lu Xiaohuang has learned to speak and has no problem walking anymore.

Everyone loved the little one and treated her like a daughter.

Lu Xiaohuang seemed to be the new favorite in the backyard, and her status was even higher than him. Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling would come to see her from time to time.

suddenly.

In Lu Mingyuan's consciousness, he heard a voice outside the Qingzhu Palace:

"Chen Ke, the school secretary, please see His Highness!"

Chen Ke?

He actually came to find me.

Haven't seen him for a long time.

Lu Mingyuan went to open the door in person. The red sunken wood door was open. Chen Ke was still wearing a white shirt. He looked as handsome and handsome as before. After more than a year of precipitation, he is now more mature and his elegant temperament is already overflowing. come out.

But no matter how he changed, the firm look in his eyes remained the same from beginning to end.
