1338 City Gate, Scholars Make Trouble for Three Years

An unsatisfied man is very scary, and Feng Qingchen certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to go forward and offend the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince asked her to ride in the carriage, and she sat in the carriage obediently without any resistance, so docile that the guards thought they were dazzled.

When did Miss Feng start to listen to the Ninth Prince so much? Miss Feng has always had her own opinions, and no matter what the Ninth Prince says, she has made up her mind.

Feng Qingchen's cooperation made the Ninth Prince feel a little better. Before leaving, he asked someone to check again and made sure there were no problems, then he ordered them to enter the city.

When the Ninth Prince set out, a large number of students gathered at the city gate. These students were filled with righteous indignation and kept cursing the Ninth Prince, saying that the Ninth Prince had killed Mr. Wenyuan and that the Ninth Prince was the sinner of Dongling.

Although the truth about Mr. Wenyuan's death has been revealed, there are still many people who believe that the fault lies with the Ninth Prince, who failed to protect Mr. Wenyuan.

Under the instigation of some people, these stubborn students gathered here and demanded that the Ninth Uncle kneel down and apologize for the death of Mr. Wenyuan.

It is definitely not a safe thing to have so many people gathering at the city gate, but the generals guarding the city seemed not to see it and allowed these students to gather at the city gate and make radical remarks.

The generals guarding the city not only condoned these students to gather and cause trouble, but also prevented any suspicious people from leaving the city to prevent the news from leaking.

Su Wenqing sat in a teahouse at the city gate, secretly anxious but helpless.

It was obvious that these students were instigating trouble, but he had no idea about it beforehand. When he found out something was wrong, he couldn't even send a message to the Ninth Uncle.

Alas... It is troublesome if you don't have your own people in key positions.

Su Wenqing missed the time when Zhai Dongming was guarding the city gate. At that time, it was not a problem for him to pass any message out of the city. It was not like now...

Speaking of Zhai Dongming, Su Wenqing had to say that this guy was quite troublesome. They had clearly agreed to go to Jiangnan for treatment, but the father and son of the Zhai family ended up running to Xuanyi Valley, leaving the place to be quiet.

It is indeed quiet, even the emperor would not send anyone to that place.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Su Wenqing. He was only worried about how the Ninth Prince and his gang would enter the city.

These students are not just cursing the Ninth Prince, they are here to force him to confess his guilt and prevent him from entering the city.

Given the Ninth Prince's personality, he certainly wouldn't bow down to these students, but...

These students are unarmed and have not committed any serious mistakes. If the Ninth Prince were to brutally treat them in public, it would surely cause dissatisfaction among the people and would also lead to impeachment by the censors, damaging his reputation and prestige.

But if he didn't take ruthless measures, these students would probably not let the Ninth Prince enter the city. As for asking the Ninth Prince to kneel down and admit his mistake, that was even more impossible. Su Wenqing didn't even dare to think about it.

How could someone who didn't even kneel before the emperor kneel at the city gate to admit his fault? And this was not a mistake that could be admitted casually. If he really admitted it, there would be a stain on the Ninth Prince that could never be washed away.

It has to be said that the person who planned this drama was very resourceful. He used the unarmed students to force the Ninth Prince, who was truly in a dilemma.

These students who are full of enthusiasm but have no brains are really troublesome. They can't be beaten or scolded.

"Sigh..." Su Wenqing sighed heavily, staring at the city gate with lifeless eyes, praying silently in his heart that the Ninth Prince could resolve the matter peacefully and enter the city smoothly.

As Su Wenqing was expecting, the carriages of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were getting closer and closer to the city gate. At first they were just small black dots, but soon they could see human figures clearly.

Not only Su Wenqing, but also the students were excited when they saw the flags fluttering in the wind.

"The Ninth Uncle is here."

"We must make the Ninth Prince kneel down and apologize. If it weren't for his poor protection, how could Mr. Wen Yuan have died? How could we not have witnessed Mr. Wen Yuan's elegance and grace?"

"He is a sinner, a sinner of Dongling. It was because of him that he failed to protect Mr. Wenyuan. The people in power are unwilling to seek justice for Mr. Wenyuan. We must uphold justice and seek justice for Mr. Wenyuan and for all scholars in the world."

"So what if you are a royal relative? The truth is in the hearts of the people. Even if you are a prince, we are not afraid."

…

It has to be said that the young, naive and ignorant students were very easy to incite. With just a few righteous words, these students became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they all rushed out of the city.

When the general guarding the city saw this scene, he quietly gestured to his subordinates, asking the soldiers guarding the city to let the group of people go.

The two sides met outside the city gate. The road was blocked, so the Ninth Prince's carriage had to stop.

"Your Highness, there are students making trouble ahead, blocking the way." The aide stepped forward and whispered through the curtain.

There was a commotion at the city gate, but no officials came to investigate. It was obvious that someone was doing it on purpose, and these students were just pawns pushed out.

"What do you think about this?" The Ninth Prince opened his eyes and asked Feng Qingchen opposite him.

Feng Qingchen was too lazy to open the car window. When he heard the students shouting, he said, "It took three years for the scholars to rebel, but they failed. How much can these students' riots do? They are good at nothing except talking. They think they can block the road. How naive."

Students from all over the world like to hold street demonstrations, but what effect does this have?

Even if those in power compromised at the time for the sake of face, what about afterwards?

Power is in the hands of those in power. This method cannot take away power, nor can it weaken the status of those in power. Feng Qingchen looked down on people who could only bark.

"Qingchen is right." A cold light flashed in the Ninth Prince's eyes, indicating his murderous intention.

"Don't be too harsh, there are so many people watching." Feng Qingchen kindly reminded.

Being stupid enough to be used as a gun, it's a good thing to learn a lesson.

Feng Qingchen mourned for those poor students, but did not sympathize with them. A general's merit is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. What the Ninth Prince was going to do would surely cause great suffering and rivers of blood. Besides, these people would not necessarily die.

"It seems they brought the cloth used to wrap the knife last time, and it will come in handy." The Ninth Prince said this to his aides. The aides understood what the Ninth Prince meant as soon as they heard it, responded, and immediately went to arrange the matter.

The students outside saw that the Ninth Prince was sitting motionless in the carriage and the guards did not move either. They thought that the Ninth Prince was afraid, so they shouted even louder, demanding that the Ninth Prince kneel down and apologize.

"Kneel? These people dare to ask you to kneel. Have you been away from the capital for too long that these people have forgotten your identity?" Feng Qingchen found it funny and couldn't help but complain.

“It doesn’t matter. I will teach them a bloody lesson this time.” The Ninth Prince closed his eyes to hide his impatience.

Feng Qingchen was not wrong in what he said. He suffered heavy losses in the capital last time and went to Nanling before he had recovered his strength. His control over the capital was indeed weakened a lot, but no matter how weak it was, he was not someone who could be bullied by this group of students!
