The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 400 The Emperor Appears

"The Emperor is right."

King Rui immediately agreed to this.

He watched the maids help Emperor Yongfeng put on his clothes one by one, and continued, "I also think that with the temperament of these students, they are not capable of making such a big decision as clearing the emperor's side. As for who instigated them, this needs to be investigated."

"Ok!"

Emperor Yongfeng shook his sleeves and said, "I will go out and see what these people want to do!"

Prince Rui accompanied Emperor Yongfeng out of the bedroom. When they reached the door, he noticed that Emperor Yongfeng wanted to turn back, so he immediately blocked the emperor's sight with his body and stretched out his hand, saying, "Please!"

Emperor Yongfeng was somewhat unwilling, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only put his thoughts aside temporarily and walk out.

Outside the Meridian Gate, the students of the Imperial College had been sitting in silence for three days and three nights.

Some people who were weak in constitution fainted on the spot due to the sunburn on their heads the next day.

I was dragged back crying by my family.

However, these accidents did not affect the rest of the students.

They had only one belief in their hearts, that is, the emperor was in danger, and they had to protect the emperor, even at the cost of their own lives, to ensure the emperor's safety.

After three days of not eating, drinking or sleeping, everyone was exhausted.

So when they saw the emperor appear outside the Meridian Gate, they thought they were dazzled and did not react immediately.

"The teachers at the Imperial College have worked so hard to teach you, only to let you ruin your bodies like this?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, the students in the front row immediately responded, "Long live the emperor!"

The people sitting in the back were still a little dazed until they saw their classmates' actions, and then they knelt down together.

"Okay, everyone, get up!"

The chief eunuch said in a shrill voice: "The emperor just woke up and came out to see you. You are really causing trouble for the emperor!"

When a group of students heard the eunuch say this, they all blushed.

They seemed to have forgotten their original intention and really felt that they were causing trouble for the emperor by doing this.

"I'm sorry for my reckless behavior and for making Your Majesty worried! I just hope that Your Majesty can be healthy and worry-free!"

"Alright, alright!"

Emperor Yongfeng waved his hand.

"You are all tired, go back and rest. The leader stay here, I have something to ask you."

After hearing what the emperor said, everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and began to slowly disperse.

The so-called leader was just a student in the Imperial College.

He looked left and right, and originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and leave with everyone else, but when he thought that the emperor would definitely be able to find him after sending someone to inquire, he had to stop himself.

"Who's here? Tell me your name," the eunuch shouted.

"The student's name is Li Zhiyun, and he is a student at the Imperial College."

"Then let me ask you, was it your idea that you all sat outside the Meridian Gate this time, shouting for a purge of the imperial court and forcing Prince Rui to hand over his military power?"

"No, it wasn't my idea!"

Li Zhiyun waved his hands repeatedly.

"Who ordered this?" the eunuch asked again.

Li Zhiyun waved his hands again and again, "No one, no one ordered me to do that!"

"nonsense!"

The chief eunuch shouted, "How can you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty? Since you think you are the leader, then this idea was not yours, nor was it instructed by others. Explain who came up with it?"

"Yes……"

Li Zhiyun's clothes were immediately soaked with sweat.

"You dare to lie in front of the emperor, you know the consequences!"

The eunuch added another sentence.

Li Zhiyun was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly, "We are all concerned about the emperor's health. No one is instructing us. We are just worried about the emperor's safety!"

Hearing him say this, the eunuch was so angry that he was about to kick him.

This person is not honest and cannot get the answer that the emperor wants. Isn't this just making things difficult for himself?

"Eunuch Su."

King Rui stopped him in time.

The eunuch had just kicked out and had to retract his foot.

"Eunuch Su, why bother to get angry with this kind of person? He is just a weak student, I am afraid he can't stand the kick from you."

Li Zhiyun didn't expect that Prince Rui would speak for him. He raised his head with a look of gratitude in his eyes, but the next second he heard Prince Rui say, "Besides, interrogating confessions should be left to those who are good at it. I believe he will tell you everything after he has been to the Ministry of Justice jail."

"No, I don't want to go to the Ministry of Justice."

Li Zhiyun was so scared that he immediately crawled forward two steps, "I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me. I really don't want to go to the Ministry of Justice. I will die if I go there!"

Emperor Yongfeng looked gloomy.

Factional disputes in the court have always existed, but he didn't care. Besides, it was better to let them spend more time on these disputes than to think about his throne.

But now someone is making a fuss about his body, which makes Emperor Yongfeng very unhappy.

"You are all the pillars of Daliang. I still hope that you will revitalize Daliang. But if you are so stupid and become pawns in the hands of others, how can I hand over the future of Daliang to you?"

Li Zhiyun was touched by Emperor Yongfeng's words.

Didn't they study hard for decades just to gain the emperor's trust and make a difference in the court?

Now that the emperor expressed his disappointment in him, Li Zhiyun felt extremely uncomfortable.

"emperor!"

He took two more steps forward on his knees.

"The students did not intentionally conceal the truth from the emperor. They were really eager to save the emperor and thought that the emperor was held hostage by Prince Rui, so they did this."

"Where did you hear these words from?"

Eunuch Su also heard that these people were truly concerned about the emperor, but were just being used.

"He is the dean of our Imperial College, Lord Fang Yue." Li Zhiyun gritted his teeth and said Fang Yue's name.

As the dean of Imperial College, Fang Yue is respected and loved by students. With just a simple word from him, he can influence the mood of all the students in the Imperial College.

Emperor Yongfeng nodded, with an expression that said, "As expected."

Fang Yue is the most suitable person.

"But the mayor doesn't agree with us doing this."

Li Zhiyun explained for Fang Yue.

"Before we set out, the head of the academy had the gatekeepers close the gate of the Imperial College and block us in the courtyard. Later, we put up a great resistance and someone jumped over the courtyard wall and opened the gate from the outside, and then we were all released."

Prince Rui heard it clearly and didn't say a word.

The Fang family has considerable influence in the imperial court and has monopolized all large and small water transportation in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Together with the Leng family, they are one of the five richest businessmen in Daliang.

It’s just that the Leng family has no background, while the Fang family relies on the background of the imperial court to establish its power and make money.

But the Fang family has always been low-key.

Even Fang Yue’s position as the dean of the entire Imperial College was only possible after he was jointly recommended by other professors of the Imperial College.

Thinking of this, King Rui suddenly realized that he seemed to have always ignored the Fang family.
