Chapter 1286 The Emperor is Reluctant to Pay Attention to the Queen
"Your Majesty, I, Cen Kao, greet you!"
…
"Old minister Wei Xue pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
…
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
…
Since the arrival of Li Yuanzhuo's grandmother, officials from the imperial court have come to this huge lecture hall one after another. At first glance, all of them are old scholars with great achievements in the literary world.
Some are no longer in the previous dynasty, while some are still active in the temple.
In terms of status and position, they are all wealthy, powerful and influential people.
But right now.
Without exception!
All of them looked terrified and trembling, and some of them even had clothes soaked with sweat.
All of them knelt down with their foreheads on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor.
The students around the lecture hall looked at the gentlemen and adults and found that they no longer had the condescending attitude they usually had.
Especially the descendants of these people, the students also found that they were all the same, and most of them were those who supported Yang Liaoyuan.
Now he knelt down towards the emperor.
The students pursed their lips and looked at each other, not daring to breathe.
Especially the Emperor.
Just looked down without saying a word.
The sound of hurried running seemed particularly clear in such silence.
Everyone turned to look.
Someone recognized them at a glance as Lord Li Chunfang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Shen, the newly appointed Minister of Personnel Su Ziyu, and Vice Minister Wei Jiu.
And he also followed Yan Ruyu and Shentu Sheyue.
When Li Chunfang and the other four walked into the corridor cleared by the students, they noticed a large group of people kneeling, and they were all trembling.
Li Chunfang and the other three looked at each other. They didn't actually understand what was going on, but they all felt a pang of anxiety.
He and his companions were suddenly summoned, saying that the emperor was in the Imperial College.
I didn't dare to delay and came over in a hurry.
On the way, I met Yan Ruyu and Shentu Sheyue.
When they heard the two men say that they were going to the Imperial College after finishing their business, the four became even more confused.
Wei Jiu, however, thought of a possibility because he saw something in the imperial study today, but he did not say it out loud.
The four of them stepped forward, and Su Ziyu discovered that his niece Su Linhan was standing behind Xun Kuang, but he didn't think much about it.
They all saluted.
Su Changan couldn't help but smile when he saw his chubby second uncle gasping for breath.
But his expression froze, and he looked down at Li Yueyue.
He found that the girl was hiding behind him, hugging his arms and looking at Su Linhan timidly.
Su Changan was helpless and wanted to ask, how do you manage to be fearless and yet be feared by everyone?
Su Linhan glanced at her second uncle, then lowered her head again, but her eyes were still on her elder sister.
Su Linhan was called by An Furong, saying that something happened to Yueyue, and that Yang Leyuan and the others had started again.
Su Linhan knew about Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan.
Originally, she wanted to help find out the truth, but Mr. Shuiyun and Mr. Ji told her not to interfere, so she pretended not to see it.
But Yang Liaoyuan did this again and again, and she was a little annoyed.
However, Su Linhan thought that the Imperial College was a place for studying, not a place for you to act like a spoiled child, and there should always be a limit to things.
But after listening to what An Furong said about Cui Qing and Cui Nu.
She immediately realized that it was her elder sister, so she hurried over.
I didn’t expect the emperor to be here.
So without saying anything, he just stood there obediently.
But what she was sure of was that Cui Qing was the elder sister.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Ziyu, Li Chunfang and others standing aside.
He looked at Ruyu and Sheyue again.
The emperor finally spoke, "Where is Mu Xu?"
The three words "lightly" broke the silence in everyone's hearts, but also made everyone's heart tremble. They immediately looked towards where the emperor was, waiting for what was to happen.
Ruyu immediately said, "Master Jijiu said he was tired from running and asked us to come back first so he could rest for a while."
Xia Fengxiang twitched the corner of his mouth.
Su Changan curled his lips and glanced at a place not far away. What is this old man doing? Why doesn't he come over and climb a tree with him?
Yan Yunxiao also whispered something to Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang smiled softly and looked at the dozen people kneeling including Yang Muhe: "I hope I am not wronging you by asking you to kneel down and talk to me in public."
Hearing this
Yang Muhe and the others felt a chill in their hearts. They were not afraid of the emperor scolding them, but they were afraid of hearing him speak in that tone.
Immediately!
Song Daoji was the first to kowtow repeatedly: "I know my crime, I know my crime!"
Right after!
The students saw these high-ranking people kowtow to the emperor one after another, and repeatedly shouted: "I acknowledge my guilt."
What crime
have no idea.
The students looked at each other, puzzled.
But after thinking about it, it seems to be related to Xiao Ansheng.
But how could such a thing attract so many people?
And isn’t that Yang Leyuan’s business?
Xia Fengxiang sneered: "Then I'll bear with you and kneel down to listen."
As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yuan Gongfu, who was completely limp on the ground. "Li Chunfang, as the Minister of Rites, when you arrive at the Imperial College, will you bring someone with you to remind others to salute you?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Gongfu died with a worried look on his face.
His face looked ashen.
Li Chunfang didn't understand what His Majesty was talking about, but he quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I wouldn't dare act this way even in public, let alone in the Imperial College. I remember the Empress's teachings on humility."
Su Changan was stunned. When did I ever teach you this?
Xia Fengxiang looked at Li Chunfang and said, "Then your assistant lawyer has even abused his power to the point of reaching the Imperial College. Did you know that?"
Li Chunfang was about to speak.
I saw Yuan Gongfu crawling over and kowtowed to Xia Fengxiang while saying, "I am a guilty minister. I have sinned. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."
Li Chunfang hadn't noticed Yuan Gongfu just now because he was so low-headed that he looked like he was lying down.
I recognized it immediately upon seeing it.
But Li Chunfang was so smart that he immediately realized what had happened and looked at His Majesty: "I have failed to discipline myself properly. I am guilty."
Xia Fengxiang said, "He was recommended by Yang Mu and you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Muhe immediately took a few steps forward on his knees: "Yes, it is recommended by this old minister."
Xia Fengxiang said, "This is actually the first time I've seen an official bring someone with him specifically to remind others to behave properly. It's also the first time I've seen someone show off their authority in front of these students at my Imperial College."
Yuan Gongfu didn't dare to speak.
Yang Muhe bowed his head and said, "I am blind and have a poor judgment of people. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "What crime have you committed? You have really opened my eyes. Moreover, the person you recommended, as well as Li Yusheng, your Li Yuanzhuo, and your daughter Cen Kao, Cen Wenqian, are all quite powerful. They dared to use the title of empress to casually put accusations on others."
When the people whose names were called heard this, they were all startled and quickly crawled to the front.
In particular, the old woman Li Yusheng pulled Li Yuanzhuo up to kowtow to the emperor.
This old woman.
Su Changan had seen her before. She came to the banquet for the ladies of honor before.
Xia Fengxiang listened to the words "I am guilty" and continued, "But it doesn't matter. After all, the target is Li Yueyue. You dare not touch her. After all, Li Wenyou is still here, and he captured Tiele Shuer Khan alive for me, which is a great contribution."
Still no one dared to look up.
But the students around him saw the emperor stand up.
"Things will eventually turn around if we take our time. There is still room for the situation to turn around. I..."
But when Xia Fengxiang said this
Yuan Gongfu knelt and took a few steps forward, then kowtowed several times: "It has nothing to do with me, Your Majesty. It is they who made me like this. It is them. I am a lowly official, born in poverty, and I dare not disobey them."
As he spoke, Yuan Gongfu pointed at Yang Muhe and the others.
Anxious!
Yuan Gongfu was completely anxious!
He actually knew very little.
But he can guess!
As for why Yang Liaoyuan suddenly became like this, and why Yang Muhe asked him to use Yang Liaoyuan's matter to target the poor scholar
Although Yuan Gongfu didn't hear Yang Muhe's entire story, he could probably guess what it was.
And right now it is like this.
He also sees clearly.
So instead of doing this, it’s better to just stand up.
only
Xia Fengxiang glanced down at him and continued, "I allow you to do some things, as long as you don't overdo it. But it seems that because of this, you think you are too arrogant and feel superior to others, so..."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Xiao Ansheng and his family of three.
Seeing this, Xun Kuang immediately walked forward with the family of three.
Xiao's father and mother looked at the emperor and wanted to kneel down, but were stopped by Xun Kuang.
Xia Fengxiang looked at the family of three and smiled softly before turning to Yang Muhe and the others: "You are kneeling while they are standing. Are you superior to them?"
Yang Muhe was extremely nervous, and so was his spirit. He glanced at the family of three, then looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is no noble family in the world. We, we, are not superior to others."
Xia Fengxiang asked with a smile, "Then why did you push Xiao Ansheng, a student from a poor family, to death, just to go against me and the Empress? Or maybe you want this Imperial College?"
Xia Fengxiang turned back to his chair and asked, "Or do you think I dare not kill you nobles?"
Wow!
The moment Xia Fengxiang finished speaking!
Suddenly, several figures appeared in the lecture hall!
Each of them stood beside Yang Muhe and others with their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waist, and their eyes under the masks were staring at Yang Muhe and others.
