Chapter 2005

At dawn the next day, a student struck the drum to report his case.

What was surprising was that the guards in front of the drum seemed to have been prepared. Not only did they not punish the student with a stick according to the law, but they respectfully led the student who beat the drum straight into the Beiyang Palace.

It turned out that the retired emperor had already issued an edict, exempting those who reported the incident from caning today.

Emperor Zhaowu still failed to attend court.

What happened to the promise to appear in court to dispel the "madness" rumor? When the four great families received the tip-off from the palace, they all knew that it seemed that the emperor was really imprisoned.

Inside the Beiyang Palace, the court was discussing the matter. It is said that the emperor did not ask the drummer why he was beating the drum, but only ordered him to stand quietly at the side of the palace and watch the officials debate.

The student had a pale face, and against the backdrop of the other officials in the court, he looked like a fawn that had strayed into a pack of ferocious beasts.

At dusk, the spies came to report that the students who were sitting quietly in front of the palace gate waiting for the new emperor to come to court... were bewitched by Shi Yunqi.

In fact, there were more than that. Under the vermilion lacquered palace gate, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shi Yunqi were several young officials including Xiao Changle, Lu Sangyu, and Gu Boyan.

These three were the top three candidates in the imperial examination that year!

The top three gold medalists appeared! With the rise of a cloud, just the sight of them standing together brought back a flood of memories.

Those screaming fights and those classic legends are still talked about today.

There are many students who have not been to the scene, and who hasn't read Huang Xingyue's official records over and over again?

The young men who were once extremely talented are now all dressed in red and purple court robes. They have shed their youthfulness and gained a bit of calmness and composure.

Shi Yunqi's appeal is comparable to that of the past. Some students even shouted "Shi Yunqi" several times on the spot and then fainted with excitement.

Shi Yunqi not only did not laugh at the students, but he personally called the imperial physician to treat them.

When the student woke up, Shi Yunqi took the lead in lifting up his clothes and sat cross-legged with Xiao Changle and others.

Under the mottled palace walls, the officials of the dynasty were seen discussing with the students the ways of ruling and controlling chaos in ancient and modern times. When they were talking excitedly, even the guards at the palace gate unconsciously loosened their hands on their swords and listened attentively.

They recalled the Mingde Emperor of the past...

"Master Shi, I later heard that the emperor was present at the duel between you and Pei Yu."

"The emperor loves talents very much."

It was a hot topic for a while, and no one knew whether it was mainly because of the fact that Emperor Mingde was still the emperor at that time, or because Yunqi overwhelmed Pei Yu by a large margin, creating the only competition in history where a perfect score was achieved.

This led to the discussion of the martial arts examinations. At that time, Emperor Mingde's words, "Today I ask you, do you dare to draw the long bow, break the wind, and fight against the nations?", sparked the heroic dreams of many young men in bright clothes and brave horses, "I am willing to welcome the nations to fight against me."

Those passionate shouts of “War, War, War” still seem to be whistling in my ears.

“When the nations came to fight us, we were not afraid at all, and we thought every day about how to defeat them.”

"I don't know where I got the confidence from, but I feel that Tang Xinghe and his team can win."

"Of course we can win. We have thousands of galaxies and we have fearless young people."

The scene was becoming more and more lively, and people had been sitting here to petition for a long time without knowing why.

I don’t know who started it, “If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are wealthy, the country will be wealthy; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong…”
