It was a huge scene. There were about 20 or 30 scholars in total, and they pinned the two people on the ground and started beating them.
Song Yushu stretched his neck to watch the fun, but was directly dragged away by Lu Zhixing.
While protecting them, Jiang Siyuan looked at Lu Zhixing holding Song Yushu's hand with a lonely look.
He really didn't think that the relationship between two men could be so open. Even Song Yushu was not a real man, and Lu Zhixing was in a high position and had great power.
Perhaps Jiang Siyuan's gaze was too scorching, Song Yushu's back shuddered and he turned around to take a look.
Lu Zhixing sensed it immediately, and he also looked back indifferently, following Song Yushu.
"Is there any problem?" Song Yushu thought Jiang Siyuan had discovered something and asked directly.
Jiang Siyuan glanced at Lu Zhixing, whose eyes were bound with a silk ribbon, and pursed his lips. "No."
"No, then what's that look?" Song Yushu turned back speechlessly and said to Lu Zhixing, "This matter is actually easier to handle now. The ringleader has been caught. Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is enough. His Majesty won't let this matter get out of hand."
"Then we have to ask the Supervisory Council to step in. It was your father who asked you to investigate this case, so naturally you will be the ones to report it." Lu Zhixing placed emphasis on the word "you".
This means that he just doesn't want Song Yushu to stand out, as he will easily be targeted by the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.
Jiang Siyuan nodded silently.
Back at the Supervisory Office, Jiang Siyuan nodded silently, which almost made Jiang Shouli angry to death.
"How can you just nod your head?! Are you stupid?" Jiang Shouli stood straight with his hands on his hips, "Kneel down for me!"
Jiang Siyuan fell to his knees without any hesitation.
Jiang Shouli was startled. He feigned composure and continued to scold, "This matter is of great importance. Everyone in the government and the country is watching closely! Although we have investigated the case, it is not what they wanted! Do you understand?!"
"What do you want?" Jiang Siyuan knelt straight, "Do you want it to be placed on Prince Yu as the Crown Prince wishes, or do you want it to be placed on the Crown Prince as Prince Yu wishes?"
"You——" Jiang Shouli was so angry that he couldn't speak.
This son is a stubborn guy. He has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child and has a single-minded mind. Jiang Shouli has thought of countless ways to make his son smarter.
Jiang Siyuan suddenly kowtowed, "Father, I know I'm not smart enough to become the kind of person you want me to be, or to revive the Jiang family. But I don't want to be a sword wielded by the powerful against the people!"
Since he followed Lu Zhixing and Song Yushu to interrogate the group of scholars in prison, he knew that although these two people also participated in the party struggle, they were the most concerned about the people among these forces.
He is not taking sides, he just wants to serve the people and the country.
Jiang Siyuan's simple and determined eyes knocked Jiang Shouli down. He knew that his son already had an idea in his mind.
The father and son looked at each other for a long time, and Jiang Siyuan fell into the chair.
"Dad!" Jiang Siyuan knelt forward with some concern, wanting to support Jiang Shouli.
Jiang Shouli stroked his forehead with one hand and waved to Jiang Siyuan with the other, "I won't be in the way. This matter, this matter should be reported to His Majesty according to King Jing's opinion."
"Me?" Jiang Siyuan was slow to react and pointed at himself blankly.
Jiang Shouli was almost laughing at his silly son. "If you don't go, who will? Are you counting on an old guy like me for everything?"
Looking at the white hair on his father's temples, Jiang Siyuan finally nodded, "I understand. I will write a closing report and send it to Your Majesty tomorrow morning."
Looking at his son's receding back, Jiang Shouli felt both relieved and worried. He wondered if his silly son could support the Jiang family.
The Jiang family father and son are planning the future of their family, and Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing are also planning their own future.
Song Yushu counted on his fingers, "The Crown Prince and Prince Yu don't have much power left in the court. Several ministers are not their people. Prince Yu was even demoted. It's time for us to take a break."
"I had the same idea." Lu Zhixing first gestured for Song Yushu to wash her hands, then washed himself. Then he naturally took Song Yushu's hands and dried them for her. "Even if the Crown Prince's influence in the court is dwindling, he will definitely become complacent now that Prince Yu has been demoted."
"Your Majesty is not a tolerant person. If the prince continues to be so arrogant, Your Majesty will definitely reinstate Prince Yu." Song Yushu also nodded.
Although she didn't understand the emperor as well as Lu Zhixing, her godfather had often spoken of the emperor's character in the past, so Song Yushu had a good idea of the emperor's temperament.
"Besides, our influence is growing. We can't attract attention at this time. We should hide it while we can." Lu Zhixing's eyes changed, full of confidence and arrogance. "If we are exposed, we don't have to be afraid."
Song Yushu raised his head and said, "Let's see who is more powerful!"
Although they did not directly win over the several Shangshu under their own command, they had all received favors from Lu Zhixing or Song Yushu to a certain extent.
Even if they don't take sides, they will be grateful for the two's kindness and will help them in some way.
Lu Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Song Yushu lovingly, and pushed her favorite dishes on the table over to her.
The two people in Prince Jing's mansion had a rare leisurely night...
Early the next morning, Lu Yanzhou received an urgent summons from the palace.
"Do you know what's going on?" Lu Yanzhou frowned and asked Jiang Wenpu beside him.
Jiang Wenpu thought for a moment, "I heard that Jiang Siyuan, the Censor of the Supervisory Council, came to the palace early this morning to see His Majesty."
"That's the business of those damn scholars!" Lu Yanzhou's face suddenly turned ugly. "They're just ordinary people, yet they're making such a fuss over such a small matter! How unreasonable!"
This is the Crown Prince of the Dayan Dynasty! He has long been a nepotist, buying and selling official positions, and colluding with officials in the court to turn the imperial examinations into his own money bag!
He never thought about why those scholars were causing trouble, and why the trouble became so big. All he saw were party struggles and interests.
If he had not met Song Yushu and changed his mind, his knowledge and talent would have had no place to be displayed.
If this continues, what will become of Dayan Dynasty?
Jiang Wenpu, who was filled with contempt in his heart, remained calm on the surface. He whispered to Lu Yanzhou, "This is all due to their ignorance. Your Highness, please don't get so angry that you become ill."
When Lu Yanzhou finally arrived at the palace, the emperor said he had something to discuss with the queen and asked him to wait.
This is the worst sign!
What could the Emperor discuss with the Empress? In the past, the Emperor felt uncomfortable just by looking at the Empress!
Lu Yanzhou thought about it a thousand times and felt that there was no point in waiting any longer.
"Go to Huaqing Palace!"
