"Where is His Highness the Crown Prince? How can the Liang Kingdom be allowed to remain in such darkness!"
"Xiao Zhen, you scoundrel! The Left Prime Minister, you are a treacherous villain! Your perverse actions will surely be punished by Heaven!"
Each angry curse, each tearful accusation.
The sound echoed particularly jarringly before the solemn and majestic imperial city.
The imperial guards at the palace gates looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
The officials who rushed to the scene all looked troubled and had headaches.
These students and great scholars cannot be hit or scolded.
They won't leave no matter how hard you try to get rid of them; it's really a tricky situation!
Why did they have to come at this crucial moment, just when the General of the State was returning to the capital?
Could there be spies in the palace? The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
The officials wore bitter expressions; they were now acting according to the whims of the Grand General and the Left Chancellor.
If we really let these students go, the general will definitely not let them off the hook. What should we do?
In Consort Shu's palace, after hearing the eunuch's report, Xiao Zhen was not angry at all; instead, his eyes suddenly lit up!
His eyes were like those of a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of succulent meat.
"Great! Okay!"
Instead of getting angry, Xiao Zhen laughed and slapped his thigh.
"It's like someone just delivered a pillow when you're feeling sleepy!"

"Arrest them all, without exception! That'll make up the numbers!"
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, as if he could already see the three or four thousand spots filled in an instant.

She couldn't help but speak up, "Father!"
"Although those people spoke inappropriately and offended the palace gates, they were, after all, mostly students of the Imperial Academy!"
"They are the future pillars of Liang! How can they be treated so brutally?"
"If we send them all to the desolate mountains as well, wouldn't that be..."
Consort Shu's voice carried a hint of anxiety.
"What's the rush?" The Grand General sneered. "These students are so audacious, daring to bring people to swear at the palace gate in broad daylight. What will become of them in the future?"
"If someone like that really comes to serve as an official in the palace, he might even point his finger at me and curse me in the future!"
"By then, I'll be an old man, what if they upset me and I get seriously ill?"
"Therefore, the best solution now is to send them over along with the Crown Prince's advisors!"
"Don't they like to argue? Let them go to the wilderness and argue all they want! If they get beaten black and blue, don't blame us!"
Consort Shu: "..."
