Chapter 154 Outside Chengtian Gate
Following Zhu Houzhao’s order, Jin Yiwei took action quickly.
Zhang Fengfu and others personally brought Kong Hongxu and his son to Chengtianmen, and mobilized two thousand households to make arrangements to control the upcoming situation.
One after another figures also walked quickly through various government offices and streets in the capital.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Kong Hongxu will be publicly punished outside Chengtian Gate. All officials and scholars must come to watch.
If people want to watch, they can go there. "
The loud shouts of the Jin Yiwei spread throughout the capital as quickly as possible.
The officials and scholars who were already gathering and excited immediately left outside the Chengtian Gate.< br>
“Let’s go to Chengtianmen quickly. Your Majesty is going to deal with Duke Yan outside Chengtianmen. Let’s go quickly. "
"Your Majesty is talking about dealing with Yan Shenggong. He must have been deceived by the villain (treacherous eunuch). Let's go and defend Yan Shenggong. ”
"Yes, let's go quickly."
"Hmph, we must not let Jin Yiwei go so easily this time, how dare we capture Yan Shenggong!"
····
This is the idea of most scholars and some officials.
Most of the officials, after experiencing what happened over the past year, feel bad.
Your Majesty was talking directly about the disposition. He did not even call Yan Shenggong, but called him by his first name.
They were sure that Jin Yiwei did not dare to speak nonsense and must have conveyed His Majesty's words truthfully.
In this way, His Majesty is obviously determined to deal with Yan Shenggong.
It is difficult to plead for justice for Yan Shenggong.
Also, just deal with Duke Yansheng. Why do you want all the officials and scholars to go to Chengtianmen to watch?
What is your Majesty's intention?
In short, the prestige established by Zhu Houzhao's behavior over the past year has made most officials and a small number of scholars less impulsive.
In addition to officials and scholars, nobles and military attachés, of course, were not willing to miss this important event.
Although the emperor did not order them, they still rushed to Chengtianmen almost one by one.
The largest flow of people is naturally the people in the capital.
"I heard that your Majesty is going to deal with a high official outside Chengtian Gate. All the people can go and see it."
"What high official? That is Yan Shenggong, a descendant of the saint, with more than two thousand inheritance Years old."
"If you are so powerful, what will your Majesty do with him?"
"If your Majesty wants to deal with him, it must be because he has committed a crime and harmed our people. Your Majesty loves the people the most. ”
“Let’s go and have a look. Maybe we can see His Majesty.”
"That's right, let's go for a walk and watch the fun. If you can see His Majesty and his old man, it will be a lifetime blessing."
"Let's go to Chengtianmen to watch the fun."
·····
In addition to the common people, many people in the martial arts world can't help it.
"What is the emperor going to do? Is it possible that he is going to attack Yan Shenggong hard?"
"It sounds like it, but he is Yan Shenggong, a descendant of a saint who has always been treasured by the Zhu family and the imperial court. Will the emperor take heavy action?"
"Haha, this Emperor Shengwu is different from the previous emperors. The Ming Dynasty clan has taken heavy action.”
“That’s right, let’s go and have a look.”
“It’s interesting, it’s really interesting. I didn’t expect that when we come to the capital, we will not only encounter it. When someone like Brother Li encounters such an interesting thing, His Majesty is indeed extraordinary. Let’s go and have a good look at it.”
·····
Amidst all kinds of discussions, countless people gathered from all directions towards Chengtian Gate.
Fortunately, Jinyiwei had made plans and arrangements in advance, and the officials were located closest to the Forbidden City.
The human wall was also turned into a cordon, preventing scholars and common people from crossing the cordon.
As time passed, more and more people gathered in the large square outside Chengtianmen.
Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand...
"Seek justice for Duke Yan! Punish the traitor severely!"
"Get justice for Duke Yan! Punish the traitor severely!"
"As a disciple of the saint, we must never let Yan Shenggong was wronged and vowed to defend Yanshenggong to the death! "
·····
Suddenly, a burst of neat and loud slogans sounded from far to near, approaching Chengtian Gate, then blended into the sea of people, and even squeezed to the front, continuing to shout neatly, attracting countless eyes.
Then, more scholars joined in the shouting.
The voice became louder and louder, covering all other sounds.
In the face of many official inquiries, Liu Jian and others who remained silent frowned, a little surprised.
Is it a spontaneous act by scholars? Or did the Kong family take action?
But no matter what the situation is, His Majesty will probably become even more angry and the conflicts will become even greater.
“The situation is getting more and more chaotic.”
The senior officials of Jinyiwei also frowned. Weng Taibei frowned and said to Zhang Fengfu.
Zhang Fengfu stared closely at the leaders of the shouting scholars, then glanced at more and more people, and said seriously: "Brothers, please pay attention, and there must be no trouble. .
Those who take the lead, keep an eye on them.
And those martial arts masters cannot let down their guard. "
"Understood. "Weng Taibei and others nodded.
Zhang Fengfu couldn't help but look back in the direction of Qianqing Palace, with some doubts and worries.
'Your Majesty, what exactly are you going to do?' He knew that to create such a situation, His Majesty must do something big
But when it came to Yan Shenggong, so many scholars, including officials, he had to feel worried.
The same idea spread among the officials.
I can’t understand it, and I even dare not think about it a little bit.
Li Xunhuan's eyes, as warm as spring water, were also worried.
Reluctantly dealing with the officials asking around him, after thinking for a while, he transmitted the message to a place far away.
Those were two figures in the crowd.
The two figures are extraordinary at a glance.
A young man with a beard and eyebrows that is very unrestrained and unrestrained.
The eyes of another figure are dull, but people can understand at first sight, what is a true gentleman like jade, gentle and elegant?
The two were communicating through voice transmission when they suddenly received a voice transmission.
'Brother Hua and Brother Lu, the situation is complicated at this time. Please, if you have time, please pay more attention to protect the people from harm. '
The two of them could certainly hear that this was Li Xunhuan's message. They looked at each other and nodded solemnly, but no message was transmitted.
Because the distance is too far, their skills are not enough.
‘The sound can be clearly transmitted to our ears even though we are tens of feet away. I’m afraid Brother Li’s skill is almost at its innate peak, right? ’ The man with four eyebrows exclaimed in surprise.
The gentlemanly figure nodded slightly and said seriously: 'There are too many people, so you and I should be more serious. ’
'clear. ’ The man with four eyebrows nodded, then smiled again, ‘But there’s no need to worry so much.
This is the capital, the most powerful place in the Ming Dynasty. How can any master dare to be so presumptuous?
If the Grand Master dares to cause trouble, he will probably be shot to death.
If it is an ordinary person, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian. Look, there are almost ten innate masters, staring closely at the crowd, and we are also being stared at.
Hey, stop staring at us, Brother Li should have spoken. ’
····
Not only the two of them, Li Xunhuan also sent messages to several places in the crowd.
Afterwards, Zhang Fengfu and other Jinyiwei senior officials were a little shocked.
I know that Li Shilang has a wide circle of friends, whether in official circles or in the martial arts.
But these were just a few innate masters, so they had to be surprised.
Originally, this situation should have been known to the Jinyiwei, but because Li Xunhuan had a special status and was His Majesty's most trusted civil servant, the Jinyiwei did not pay much attention to or investigate Li Xunhuan's situation.
‘In the future, we can ask Li Shilang to introduce some masters to our Jinyiwei. ’ Weng Taibei couldn’t help but said.
‘Well, let’s talk about it later. ’ Zhang Fengfu nodded.
····
In the large square outside Chengtian Gate, there were more and more people.
There was a huge crowd of people. Except for the loudest voice who vowed to defend Yan Shenggong to the death, all kinds of discussions were also very noisy.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was still in Qianqing Palace.
He knew everything about the situation at Chengtianmen.
As he watched and listened, he became more and more angry, at the officials, the scholars, his father, and his ancestors.
After a while, seeing that the flow of people gathered had decreased, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Qianqing Palace and said: "Liu Banban, you will follow too."
Liu Jin and Cao Youxiang were overjoyed and quickly followed.
Zhu Houzhao had already taken off, flying very fast, like a gust of wind blowing towards the Chengtianmen city wall, and then fell from the sky, landing a few feet in the air in front of the city wall.
Liu Jin couldn't keep up with him and didn't care. He quickly gathered his strength and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived——!"
Some high-pitched voices came from inside the city wall. It sounded like a scream that suddenly drowned out all the sounds.
In an instant, outside the Chengtian Gate, the sea of more than hundreds of thousands of people who had gathered for about two hours fell silent and subconsciously looked at the Chengtian Gate.
Under the golden light, the tall body standing in the air and wearing a golden dragon robe was so conspicuous.
The Emperor (His Majesty) is here!
This thought appears in everyone's mind.
“See you, Your Majesty!”
Thousands of civil and military officials immediately bent down and saluted.
There was no longer any uncertainty, hundreds of thousands of people immediately saluted, and most of the people knelt down.
This resulted in those who did not want to kneel down, but had no choice but to kneel down.
"See Your Majesty!"
With a bit of reverence, the fiery voice was like a thunderous sea, sweeping the world.
The power that cannot be described in words is like the brilliant power of heaven, covering everything.
When many officials saw so many people kneeling, they who were used to kneeling immediately followed suit.
After kneeling down, all other officials had to follow suit.
Suddenly, in the vast sky and earth, only Zhu Houzhao stood in the air, as if he was standing upright and holding up the sky for everyone.
Zhu Houzhao did not look at these officials, he only looked at the hundreds of thousands of people.
This was also the first time for him to see so many people at a glance.
Listening to their worship, I felt an indescribable sense of heroism, domineering, and excitement in my heart.
"Get up quickly."
"There is no longer a kneeling ceremony in the Ming Dynasty. All the people of the Ming Dynasty do not need to kneel down no matter who they meet."
(No. Three chapters have already been ordered at 500, but once these three chapters are published, they will fall back to more than 400. Of course, there will be more updates, and there will be one more tomorrow or the day after tomorrow)
