If he followed the normal process of issuing a message and then entering the palace for crusade, Jun Xian should have pieced together everything with him at this moment - the [-] soldiers and horses secretly sent by Qi Yejin and the [-] soldiers and horses he raised privately. Entered the palace.

However, in recent years, the two major merchants Fu and Han, who had always occupied half of the imperial city and were usually at odds with each other, suddenly joined forces to hold a New Year's Eve event.

If this grand event hadn't started two days ago, Jun Xian would definitely think that these two families did it on purpose.

An unprecedented large-scale New Year's Eve event filled every street and alley in the Imperial City.

Vendors of all sizes were crowded together, shouting one after another.

Vendors took up most of the street, and there were also people joining in the fun.

Almost every street that could accommodate the army was crowded with people. Even the more remote streets were now hung with red lanterns. The houses on both sides had turned into pubs, and there were people everywhere.

Don't talk about horses, just people passing by.It takes half a day.

After Jun Xian's [-] soldiers and horses gathered at the city gate, they had not walked out of the three streets for two hours.

At this rate, it would take him two days to get to the palace.

Jun Xian was furious, "What's going on?! Are these people not sleeping? Do you think the imperial city's curfew is just a show? Arrest them all!"

"Your Majesty." He Feng was seriously injured, and Jun Xian's newly promoted confidant, He Yi, stepped forward to report: "A few days ago, the two adults in charge of curfew and city defense were arrested on the street by Eunuch Yue because they entered people's homes at night and raped their daughters. Kill them. The people acted like this because they were probably angry at the actions of those two men. The court has not issued any new approval. The curfew team is hated by the people because of those two adults. Now they only dare to patrol and do not dare to chase people away. Moreover..."

Jun Xian suppressed his anger, "And what?"

"And the Han family and the Fu family spent their own money to hire escorts to guard the city. Now every street is filled with their people."

"Are they crazy? Want to replace the official directors? They are too courageous! What is the court doing?!"

Heyi lowered his head and said: "A few days ago, all the officials went out of court together at your suggestion. Those who don't want to go out of court can't enter the palace now."

This was Feng Ping's suggestion. Since he wanted to clear the emperor's side, it was naturally impossible to allow the person currently sitting on the throne to govern.

But no one was in charge of the government, and naturally no one was in charge of the people running around in the city.

If in the past, the imperial city was in chaos and forces were fighting, the people would definitely not come out and wander around.

But the New Year's Eve event organized by the Han and Fu families included all kinds of weird things, dazzling street performances, cheap and affordable lanterns, couplets, clothes, jewelry and other goods, and even countless activities such as guessing lantern riddles.

Not to mention it is a New Year's event, it brings together almost all the events that everyone can think of.

Looking at this lively situation, it won't be over until the commotion lasts for ten days and a half.

It was such a grand occasion, with thousands of people in the streets, and no official approval from the court to stop it. Jun Xian, in the name of Qingjun, did not dare to destroy it rashly.

If he arouses public indignation at this time, his title of Qingjunzi will appear very hypocritical.

In other words, Jun Xian shot himself in the foot.

Jun Xian immediately vented his anger on the two officials who were stabbed to death by Yue Fuling in the street, "Those two idiots, I promised them that I would benefit from them when I came to the throne, but they actually thought that I would You fight to the death to protect them, but you dare to use your power to rob people. They deserve to die, and they even implicate me!"

Jun Xian looked at the huge crowd in front of him and wanted to rush over and overturn the vendors' stalls, but he couldn't.

He must now have an image among the people who loves the people like a son, which will help him gain power in the future.

Han Ning hid in the corner and secretly watched Jun Xian lose his temper. He turned around and said to Fu Jinghan, "I think this method can stop him for two days at most. What will happen after two days?"

Fu Jinghan looked in the direction of the palace, "Try your best, two days is enough. If time goes by, I'm afraid the Sixth Prince will do some dirty tricks."

"Devil trick?"

"If a dead person suddenly appears in a busy city, do you think the event can still be held? Even if you and I spend money to hold it, the people will be afraid and will not come out again."

Han Ning rubbed the goosebumps on his body, "You ask me? I don't know. We are burning money right now. My father will definitely beat me to death when he wakes up!"

Fu Jinghan frowned, "You're not awake yet? How many drugs did you give your father?"

Han Ning: "I don't know! I just saw that he was about to wake up, so I drugged him into his food and he slept for two days. I didn't dare to let him know. Didn't he reject you when you asked him to cooperate? Really? I am the only one who can do such a wasteful thing. Who knew it would be so expensive to find a eunuch as a classmate."

Fu Jinghan: "...Whether your father agrees or not, no more intoxicating drugs are allowed. It will not be beneficial to his health. Now the deal is done. Even if Mr. Han objects, it is too late. You go back and tell him that the Fu family is willing to cooperate with the Han family in the next ten years." [-]% profit from all cooperation, everything!"

Han Ning was shocked, "Then you will have to earn at least several million less gold every day."

Fu Jinghan said: "I can't control that much. I'd like to trouble Mr. Han to discuss it with your father as I told you."

Han Ning waved his hand, "Forget it, let me speak for myself. The worst case scenario is that I will force you to die. My father is the only one. If I die, he will have no heirs. Why don't you ask those foreigners you invited? No fake death medicine for sale?”

Fu Jinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master Han, please don't mess around."

"I know, hey, I'm going to find my father." Han Ning looked at the sky in despair, "I will never be classmates with eunuchs in my next life, especially eunuchs in the palace!"

too college.

The huge courtyard was filled with students wearing Qingjin uniforms.

Hundreds of students, silent.

A group of people from Xishi Academy were among them, and all the academy masters were standing on one side.

Yang Jingzhi rarely solemnly wore the uniform of the university sergeant in charge, looked at the students in front of her, and said: "Students, you study hard in the cold window, take the sages as your teachers, and read the Four Books and Five Classics. You are all more talented and know more than ordinary people. , you will use the principles you know to benefit the people and bring peace to the world."

Yang Jingzhi paused and then said: "You should have taken that path, a smooth path of civil servants. But have you ever thought about whether what you want to do is to serve as an official or to serve the country? These two can lead to the same goal through different paths, or they can Going in the opposite direction.”

Feng Yue shouted excitedly: "Serve the country! My only ambition in this life is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"

The other students didn't dare to speak and listened quietly.

Someone whispered: "Zhangyuan, we are still just students. There is a chaos outside, and there is nothing we can do."

Jun Xian's essay caused a stir, and Yang Jingzhi summoned them together. Everyone knew that it was related to this matter.

Yang Jingzhi nodded and said: "Yes, you are still students and can't do much. I am just an old man and can't do much. The only thing I can do now is to teach you this last lesson today."

Yang Jingzhi pointed in the direction of the palace, "There now sits a rebellious eunuch who is in charge of great power. Everyone says that he seeks power and usurps the throne."

Yang Jingzhi pointed to the outside of the academy again, "Outside, today's Sixth Prince gathered his troops to eliminate the traitors in the name of Qingjun.

However, after the eunuch had been in office for two months, the country was stable and the people were happy. The day before yesterday, he killed the guilty official in the street, and the people were all happy. Everyone knew whether what he did was treacherous and sycophantic. "

Yang Jingzhi looked at all the students with soft eyes, and her old voice carried a calming power, "Of course, the battles in the imperial court are like a whirlpool in the abyss, and we don't know the truth. So the teacher does not force you to do anything, the teacher hopes that you can really see it clearly. , what is serving the country?

I will go to the palace and advise the Sixth Prince to withdraw his troops and maintain the so-called eunuch regime.If the teacher is wrong and the eunuch is a true traitor, you should take this as a lesson and keep your eyes open in the future. Don't put the people at the edge of a knife just because you mistakenly believe in people's temporary goodness.

If the teacher is right, you must see clearly that protecting the country and protecting the people is more important than royal orthodoxy. Don't cling to the old ways and be complacent.Civil servants should put the people first when establishing government, and they can change their ways when necessary.

This lesson may be long, so let us take a look at this period of history and how to write it. "

After Yang Jingzhi finished speaking, he smiled and said to all the students: "You are not allowed to go out and run around in the past few days, and you are not allowed to rush into the Sixth Prince or Eunuch Yue privately. Protect yourselves and listen to the words of the masters.

History has always been written by the victors. The teacher wants you to see this period of history clearly. When the world judges right and wrong in the future, you must use the pen in your hand to tell the world the truth. "

The crowd was very quiet, and when Yang Jingzhi left, there were a few faint sobs.

Zhou Liao followed Yang Jingzhi for two steps and said, "Teacher, let me go with you."

"No, you stay in the college and guard the students. If I leave and never come back, you must guard Taiyuan College. No matter what happens in the end, you must not let the college become a mess."

"Can……"

Zhou Xiqiu grabbed Zhou Liao and pulled him to perform a student salute, her voice choked with sobs, "Teacher, go slowly."
