Until this moment, those scholars who were kneeling on the ground with their faces showing fear were not thinking about why the people were attacking them with fists and kicks, but they were hiding their hatred in their hearts and wanted to "endure the humiliation" and seek justice from their monarchs and ministers.
Beating up scholars and inciting people to beat up scholars, in their eyes, this was more serious than rebellion, and even the Nine Tribes could not satisfy their hatred.
A large group of people arrived, including the soldiers, officers, guards, supervisors, and monarchs of the Jingzhao Mansion, no, they should be the emperor and generals.
Most of the ministers who came were military generals and civil servants, only Nangong Xi, a few ministers and two ministers.
Huang Laosi was dressed in military uniform, and there were thousands of palace guards behind him.
Six people came from the Eighth Battalion. The governor of Jingzhao Mansion, Ma Rui, was actually carrying a rusty cleaver, followed by a group of shivering officers carrying water and fire sticks.
The most exaggerated one is Liu Xun, the Minister of Industry, who has almost no presence in the court. Liu Xun, the Minister of Industry, is riding on an old horse without any entourage. His slightly fat body is accumulated in the bright eyes.
Inside the breastplate was an official robe, which looked funny and ridiculous, but on the back of the old minister was a long bow that was as tall as half a man.
Even Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, who was out of breath even after taking two steps, came with a thick stick in his hand and his beard covered with snow.
After the beginning of the imperial court in Changjing, the smoke was never lit. When the emperor saw the smoke, he immediately changed his armor and led the imperial guards to rush to the north gate.
The scene was in a mess. Chu Qing was sitting next to the wheel. Tao Ruolin pouted, applied medicine to him, and hung her rabbit ears on Chu Qing's head.
The surroundings were surrounded by shabby Imperial College students, and the common people were isolated on both sides by the imperial guards.
All the people who came here had only a huge question mark on their faces.
It’s not an army approaching the city, it’s not someone rebelling, it’s nothing. It’s just that there are thousands of cavalry battalion patrolling horses, there are scholars, there are people, and the smoke of the war is still burning.
Huang Laosi's pupils shrank, as narrow as the tips of needles.
He saw Chu Qing. Chu Qing, with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth and blood stains all over his chest, was leaning against the carriage and sitting on the cold snow. The scouts from the Qianqi Battalion formed a human wall to protect him from the wind.
It wasn't until Chu Qing raised his arm as if he wanted to say hello that Huang Laosi breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun An shouted "Your Majesty is here", and everyone knelt in the snow.
Seeing the emperor coming, the Imperial College students who were lying on the ground like dead dogs suddenly began to cry.
The generals looked at each other.
They didn't know what happened, but they could guess and generally understood it.
The supervisors of the Imperial College shouted loudly, calling Chu Qing for his perverse behavior, calling Qian Qiying for beating the scholars, and calling the common people all unruly people.
There are still courtiers arriving in a steady stream.
Huang Laosi turned his head, with a look of contempt on his face.
These courtiers who arrived were all civil servants. They were riding in sedans. When they came out of the sedans, their faces were extremely heavy and worried. They shouted a few words about where the enemy was, and looked disgusting as if they were ready to die generously at any time.
Huang Laosi turned his head, looked at the general and several ministers who had dismounted, and nodded slightly.
He looked down upon civil servants and had always looked down upon civil servants.
But now he also admires civil servants, and admires those civil servants who he looked down upon in the past, but there are only a few of them.
The smoke rises and the general arrives.
This is your duty.
But a civil servant came, a civil servant came on horseback.
Nangong Xi was wearing official robes, Ma Rui was carrying a sword, Wei Changfeng was covered in wind and snow, Qiu Wanshan was carrying a sword at his waist, and Liu Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was wearing bulky armor.
Cao Wu holds a thick stick, and Zhai Xiu holds two long swords.
These veterans, who usually seemed polite and polite, were the first batch to arrive. After seeing the smoke, they came with their servants or close subordinate officials. They did not panic like others and ordered people to do so.
Instead of inquiring about the situation, he came directly. He put down all his official duties and came directly. He brought his weapons and arrived as soon as possible.
Huang Laosi was suddenly very happy.
Fortunately, his father didn't leave him with a bunch of losers.
Fortunately, there are brave people above the court, and brave people wearing civil robes.
The smoke is billowing, and civil and military forces are coming.
Some people came early and didn't know what was going on, so they came with weapons and horses. In the past, these civil servants always looked down on the officials riding horses. It can be seen that they all came on horseback when they saw the smoke.
, running in the wind and snow.
Some people arrived late. They already knew that it was not an invasion by foreign enemies or a rebellion, so they wore official robes, came a step late, and took official sedan chairs.
The black smoke rising into the sky covered the wind and snow and illuminated people's hearts.
Huang Laosi spoke softly, Sun An yelled a lot, and the guards blocked the west gate and isolated the belated courtiers from a distance.
The emperor wanted to take the initiative and know what was going on before his ministers. Only in this way could he control the development direction of the situation.
Turning over and dismounting, Huang Laosi waved slightly, and the guards who followed him stayed where they were.
Chu Qing sat paralyzed there, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
After beating the person, taking the beating, and whipping the person, every bone in the body is groaning, it hurts, it hurts terribly.
A tall figure blocked the wind and snow, and Chu Qing raised his head with difficulty.
The armor creaked, and Huang Laosi knelt down.
"I…"
Before she finished speaking, Tao Ruolin suddenly snorted in a moderate tone.
This "hum" made Huang Laosi look embarrassed.
"Miss Tao, long time no see."
Tao Ruolin ignored Huang Laosi at all, stood up directly, and got into the carriage.
It wasn't until the car door closed that Huang Laosi said to Chu Qing: "I will give you thin noodles, so I won't argue with her."
That's what he said, but Huang Laosi's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that Tao Ruolin in the carriage would hear him.
"Old Four."
Chu Qing showed a bitter smile: "The plan is all messed up, can you still protect me?"
Huang Laosi turned around and looked at the hundreds of Imperial College students kneeling in the distance with bruises and swollen faces, and shook his head slightly.
"No matter what the reason is, after beating so many prison students, I..." Huang Laosi sighed deeply: "I can't protect you."
Chu Qing nodded without any surprise, but felt a little cold and chilly in his heart.
With a "bang" sound, the car door was kicked open.
Huang Laosi trembled in fright and quickly changed his words: "But I, I can protect you, yes, I can't protect you, but I can protect you."
The car door was pulled shut again.
Huang Laosi said angrily to the carriage: "I'm just teasing him, really."
Chu Qing laughed so hard that he coughed.
The emperor seems to have a kind of magic power, a magic power that makes him never see the fourth child as the emperor.
"Tell me." Huang Laosi reached out and wiped away the blood on Chu Qing's chin: "What exactly happened."
"I don't know what to say."
Chu Qing lowered his head and looked at his slightly trembling palms: "I have to do this. If I don't do this, Fourth, your country, the country I love, will be destroyed by these beasts, so,
I have to do this."
Sun An walked over and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, Gong Cheng'an, the Imperial Academy's wine minister, and the Imperial Academy ministers are here. My lords, it seems that..."
"Let them wait."
Huang Laosi looked at Chu Qing without raising his head: "No matter what happened today, Brother Yu just wants to say that if I forcefully protect you today, you will have to be careful in the future. But if you can compromise today, let me
Give the Imperial College an explanation. In the future, when you cause bigger troubles, I will protect you. You can make your own choice."
Chu Qing sighed slightly: "Why does everyone think when they see a scholar being beaten that they are innocent and it is the one who is wrong to beat them?"
Huang Laosi was slightly startled.
Chu Qing stood up, struggled to stand up, and then knelt down heavily in front of the emperor.
"My lord, Chu Qing, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Camp, begs your majesty to listen attentively and listen to what the people want to say and what they are holding in their hearts. I beg your majesty to look far and near, see clearly, and understand what kind of people the scholars of the Imperial College are.
Such a scum, I beg you, Your Majesty, to deal with it impartially!"
Huang Laosi stared at Chu Qing for a long while, said "good", turned around and walked towards the ministers.
