From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 103 Bloody Palace Gate
Fan Mansion, Study

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Late last night, Fan Ruoruo heard that her brother had been assassinated. She was extremely worried and rushed to the Fan Mansion from the East Palace early in the morning.

Fortunately, Fan Xian was not seriously injured.

Perhaps Fan Jian had heard some rumors before, and the guards he secretly arranged for Fan Xian were very powerful, including two eighth-grade ones. The three assassins led by Cheng Jushu did not cause any big noise, and Fan Xian was not injured like in the original novel. Fujiko Kyo naturally saved a leg.

Seeing that her brother was truly unharmed, Fan Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief. However, Fan Xian began to worry about his sister's life in the Eastern Palace. It had been a month since she got married, and he was wondering if she was used to the living conditions, and whether the Crown Prince was treating her well...

Fan Ruoruo answered each question truthfully, which put Fan Jian and his son at ease.

As for those private conversations in the boudoir, it was not something that two grown men should ask about.

After a few casual chats, it was lunchtime. Fan Ruoruo stayed to have lunch with her father and brother, preparing to go back in the afternoon. However, before they had finished half of the meal, rumors about Fan Ruoruo had already spread to the Fan Mansion.

"What did you say? Who has the guts to make up such a rumor?" Fan Xian was furious when he heard this. He immediately stood up and was about to go out and find someone to argue with, but was stopped by Fan Jian's words.

"Why are you running? Do you know who it is?"

"I..." Fan Xian stopped in his tracks and slapped his forehead in frustration. "Look, I'm so angry I lost my mind. I really should have taken action earlier last night. Who could have thought that the dignified Prince Jing would go on such a drunken rampage?"

After that, he said to Fan Ruoruo with an apologetic look, "Ruoruo, it was my brother who caused the trouble this time. I'm really sorry."

"It has nothing to do with my brother. It's just that Prince Jing lost his form after drinking, and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives." Fan Ruoruo smiled lightly, "It's nothing. It won't affect me or the prince at all."

"It's good that it won't have any impact, but sister, you can't be careless about this, and you can't let rumors fly. You have a clear conscience, but who knows what the prince is thinking? After all, he is also a man."

At this point, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Fan Jian, "Father, do you think someone is secretly pushing this matter?"

"What happened last night spread this morning, and now it's become a rumor, and it's even spread to our residence. This is naturally due to someone secretly fanning the flames." Fan Jian stroked his short beard, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "This is not only aimed at the East Palace, but also at our Fan Mansion."

"Who would do this?" Fan Xian asked in a bad tone.

"There are too many people with motives, and too many people who want to take advantage of the situation. It's not easy to investigate this matter in a high-profile manner." Fan Jian shook his head.

"What should we do? Just let those people spread rumors like this."

"Of course not. Once the rumors spread for a while, the Overwatch Council will issue a warning, and the rumors will die down."

"Will it continue to circulate for a while?"

Fan Jiandao said, "Today, an imperial censor should write a memorial to impeach me. Tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow, I will submit a memorial in my defense. After a few rounds of debate in the court, the matter will naturally end. This is the normal process."

Fan Xian blinked. "General procedure? Is there any special procedure?"

"There is no special procedure, but this time, our Fan Mansion is just a minor incident. The real target is the Eastern Palace. I don't know how the Eastern Palace will respond."

This is the truth.

This kind of attack using rumors has long been the norm in the court. To put it bluntly, it is just an introduction. This introduction is used to confront, pull, and trade in the court, and finally reach a compromise, and then everything disappears.

Even if there is an impact, it will gradually disappear without a trace over time.

Just like the bloody month in Kyoto sixteen years ago, a month of massacre, blood flowing like a river, but now, how many people in Kyoto know about this incident? Among the powerful officials who know about this incident, which one of them is not keeping it secret?

But Fan Xian was still unwilling to accept that his sister was used as a pawn and slandered. He could not swallow this humiliation no matter what. He secretly made up his mind to investigate thoroughly and find out all the bastards behind the scenes.

At this moment, news came again. This news was so shocking and unexpected that even an old fox like Fan Jian was stunned.

The commander of the Eastern Palace's imperial guards led a team of black cavalrymen and brazenly broke into the Bishan Poetry Society in broad daylight, killing all the students in the society. He also picked up the corpses of some famous talents in Kyoto and smashed them on the stone lions at the gate of the Imperial College.

How brutal and cruel?
It's simply sensational!

Such behavior is outrageous.

Such a terrible thing has never happened in the nearly 100 years since the founding of Daqing, and it has never happened since the Wei Dynasty.

He was so bold, and his reaction was so intense. "I never thought the prince had such a fierce temper. I admire you so much!"

When Fan Xian heard this, he realized that this Bishan Poetry Society was probably the driving force behind this rumor. Hearing this news, he felt like drinking a big gulp of iced happy water in the hottest days of summer. It was so refreshing.

"Do you think this is the end?" Fan Jian glanced at him. "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have emphasized both civil and military affairs. You have always valued the development of Daqing's literary world and provided a lot of support. This is what has driven the current prosperity of Daqing's literary world. The Bishan Poetry Society is a famous poetry society in Kyoto. Even if there are a few people with ulterior motives, they are not too many. Killing them all directly like this is too much for the Crown Prince."

Fan Xian nodded in agreement. "That's true. This is too ruthless. But didn't you tell me that the Crown Prince is always ruthless? This reaction isn't surprising."

"That depends on the target and the method. The Imperial Academy won't accept such treatment." Fan Jian stood up and said, "In recent years, the students of the Imperial Academy have been spoiled to the extreme. If the Crown Prince does this, it will cause a big incident. I will go to the palace. Ruoruo, you should go back as soon as possible. After causing such a thing, don't let anyone catch you with anything."

"Yes, father."

As they were talking, new information came in. The Imperial Academy was in chaos. More than a thousand students had already started walking towards the palace, preparing to knock on the gates and ask His Majesty to give justice to the Imperial Academy. They said that more students were coming one after another.

Fan Jian's face turned pale, the sky was falling!
※※※

Outside the palace gate, a sea of ​​students from the Imperial Academy knelt on the ground. Surrounding the students was a large circle of Kyoto citizens who had come to watch the excitement. The number of citizens was probably even greater than that of the students, and they surrounded the place in three layers.

The guards outside the palace gate had gloomy faces. They wanted to drive people away, but they were powerless. With so many people right at the gate of the palace, there would be a big chaos if they were not careful.

"Damn Qin Yuan, it's all your fault, and you let us clean up the mess. There's so much shit, and what can we do to clean it up?" The captain of the imperial guards standing on the palace wall had already cursed in his heart. He had shouted what he should have shouted and threatened what he should have threatened, but it was of no use. All the procedures had been completed, and now all he could do was wait.

Waiting for the higher-ups to deal with it.

There was a creaking sound.

He felt something in his heart and looked back, his face changed. He saw Princess Ye Ling'er pushing Crown Prince Li Chengqian slowly towards them. He didn't know how such a big wheelchair was moved to the palace wall. Oh, no, how did the crown prince get this wheelchair problem?

No, what is the prince doing here at this time? Adding fuel to the fire?
His mind raced as he hurried forward to pay his respects.

Li Chengqian just waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me, I'm just here to watch the show."

"Watching a show!?" The captain of the imperial guards was puzzled at first, and then he saw Qin Yuan leading a team of imperial guards rushing out from a small door on the side of the palace.

"This……"

After taking a few glances, the captain of the imperial guards was stunned. What the hell...

Did the Crown Prince send out all the guards from the Eastern Palace?
Two thousand guards dressed in black armor rushed to the kneeling group of students in front of the palace with murderous intent. These were well-trained guards. In just a moment, they had integrated into the group of students. There was almost a guard beside every kneeling student.

The sudden change left the students confused, as well as the people watching the excitement around them confused.

For a moment, the huge square in front of the palace gate, where thousands of people gathered, was completely silent.

This is, what to do?
"beat!"

Suddenly, Qin Yuan shouted loudly, like thunder.

Snapped! !

When the imperial guards who had integrated into the students heard the order, they swung their right hands almost at the same time. Each of them had a black short stick as long as an arm in his hand, and they smashed it on the heads of the students kneeling beside them.

In an instant, the just quiet Palace Gate Square turned into a large pig slaughterhouse, filled with wailing.

"Wow, is this even possible?"

Whether it was the imperial guards in front of the palace gate or the people watching the show, they were all stunned. This...

It’s so fucking spectacular!

A scene of thousands of people being beaten!
On the palace wall, Li Chengqian leaned comfortably on the back of his chair with a satisfied smile on his face.

"I finally feel Doo-hwan's happiness!!"
