Treating the Concubine, Eliminating the Wife: Reborn, I Refuse to Marry the Scumbag and Marry the Pr

At five o'clock in the Yin hour, before dawn, the court officials began to come to court one after another.

There are three palace gates, and court officials should dismount in front of the first gate.

The first assistant, Jiang Yuanqing, was already in high status, and Emperor Tongxu granted him permission to enter the palace by carriage. However, Jiang Yuanqing was a meticulous man and regarded etiquette as his destiny. He never received preferential treatment and walked to Xuanhui Hall with other court officials every day.

Jiang Lianzhi personally helped Jiang Yuanqing get off the carriage.

Jiang Yuanqing raised his eyes and saw a dark place kneeling in front of the palace gate.

These students have been kneeling in court since yesterday. Some of them fell down because they couldn't hold on anymore. They have been helped down, leaving some sparse gaps in between.

Jiang Yuanqing had tried to persuade him during the court session yesterday, but they didn't listen.

Jiang Yuanqing shook his head, broke away from Jiang Lianzhi's hand, and walked towards the palace gate with his back straight.

"Lord Chief Assistant!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the crowd.

Jiang Yuanqing turned around and raised his hand to stop Jiang Lianzhi who was about to speak. His eyes were calm and majestic as he swept across the crowd.

One person in the crowd got up from the ground. His legs were numb from kneeling for too long. He staggered over, picked up his robe and knelt down again three feet away from Jiang Yuanqing.

"Master Chief Assistant." The student straightened his back and raised his head and said, "The Great Zhou has stood for hundreds of years and produced countless heroic generals. Their blood spilled on the borders and their bones and blood built the copper and iron walls of the Great Zhou."

"A few months after Yanliangguan was defeated, the souls of hundreds of thousands of heroes could not rest in peace. The students were protected by them. The traitor could not be seen for a day, and the students could not sleep at night."

"Now the students are here to kneel down and ask the Holy One to give justice to one hundred thousand heroic souls."

Jiang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty will investigate this case thoroughly. You are here now to persecute the Holy One."

The student raised his head and said, "Since the investigation was thorough and the traitor was imprisoned for more than a month, why has there been no movement?"

Jiang Yuanqing was silent. He mentioned this matter during the cabinet discussion, but His Majesty did not respond. The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Even they, veterans who have followed him for many years, cannot figure out what Emperor Tongxu is thinking.

The student said angrily: "Please open your eyes and see the crumbling state of Zhou Dynasty."

"Be careful what you say!" Jiang Yuanqing yelled angrily.

"If traitors and sycophants are in power, if they are not severely punished, where will the national law exist?"

The students behind him were filled with indignation: "Where does the national law exist!"

Jiang Yuanqing scolded him coldly, "Do you know what it is to try to influence the Holy Emperor's decision?"

"Students know!"

Jiang Yuanqing frowned, and when he saw the student slowly getting up, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Warriors fight to the death, General Shen is at the forefront, students are willing to use their flesh and blood to awaken thousands of sleeping people!"

Jiang Yuanqing's eyes widened angrily: "Stop him!"

…

The sky was getting brighter, and a person hurriedly rushed outside Qingpu House.

"Is Your Highness awake?" the visitor asked.

The guard followed him through the door and said, "Your Highness slept late last night. I wonder if he woke up."

Walking into the courtyard, Xi Feng under the eaves looked at each other and then turned around and knocked on the door lightly.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace."

Xie Tingzhou's lazy voice came from inside the house, "Come in."

Xie Tingzhou had just woken up and had not yet gotten up. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his robe gathered up.

The secret guards are also divided into different positions, some are responsible for protecting security, and some are responsible for collecting intelligence. The person who came is the secret guard responsible for intelligence.

The secret guard knelt down on one knee, "Those students stayed together all night last night. When going to court this morning, a student stopped Jiang Yuanqing, the chief minister, outside the palace gate. After an impassioned speech, he bumped his head to death outside the palace gate."

Xie Tingzhou's hand pinching his eyebrows suddenly stopped, "What then?"

The secret guard continued: "When entering the second gate, another student from the Imperial College was hit and killed."

Xie Tingzhou's breathing became heavy and he didn't speak for a while.

The secret guard said: "Your Majesty was so angry that he fell down. He ordered the imperial physician to go to court today and ordered the court to examine him tomorrow morning."

Palace trial means bringing the case to Fengtian Palace for trial, and the emperor and all court officials will hear the case together.

This means that Emperor Tongxu compromised with thousands of scholars.

Several people's voices sounded in the courtyard. Xie Tingzhou heard one of the voices, frowned and said, "Let her in."

Shen Yu stepped through the door, and Xie Tingzhou had already stood up, gathered his clothes and walked out from behind the screen.

"Come to the palace for questioning tomorrow morning."

Shen Yu's eyes widened, "The emperor just compromised like this? What happened?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "The two students remonstrated to death and their blood was spilled on Chengtianmen."

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and her eyelashes slowly lowered.

Xie Tingzhou stared at her face and waved his hand. Xifeng and the dark guard immediately retreated.

Xie Tingzhou said leisurely: "You don't have to blame yourself for this. The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years has long been rotten. Corrupt officials are rampant and there are thousands of refugees everywhere. Do you think the students don't understand? Yanliangguan One The case is just an introduction. Those students are not just admonishing Yanliangguan, they are admonishing loyalty. "

Shen Yu turned her head and looked at Xie Tingzhou. In fact, she was calmer than she thought.

"The case has been delayed until now. Is it unclear or impossible to investigate? Or is it that the results of the investigation cannot be made public?"

Xie Tingzhou's eyes moved and he looked back at her. The two of them saw an unspoken understanding in each other's eyes.

Shen Yu walked over, raised her head and said, "Since Emperor Tongxu ordered the trial tomorrow, it means that the case has been concluded. But why has it been delayed until now? What is the result that made him delay it until now despite the public opinion? "

"We'll know the result tomorrow." Xie Tingzhou comforted, "It's futile to guess too much now."

Shen Yu nodded, her thoughts calmed down a bit, and then she thought of the two students who were stubbornly admonishing her.

"I want to give some compensation to the families of those two students."

"I said that it was their choice to retaliate, and you don't need to blame yourself." Xie Tingzhou said.

Shen Yu shook her head and said: "I don't blame myself. Everyone has their own ambitions. I just stated my actual views on border issues and did not exaggerate them in the slightest. I admire them for their willingness to serve the country with benevolence, so I am also willing to contribute to their behalf." They take care of the families.”

Xie Tingzhou nodded slowly, walked to the window and looked at the green courtyard.

The strong wind blew through the forest, bringing with it a chilling air.

"Just watch." Xie Tingzhou's eyes were serious, "Today's remonstrance is just the beginning. Da Zhou's fig leaf is about to be torn apart."
