Chapter 309: Fighting with Flesh
On the day when the imperial edict was released, the place was even more bustling with activity!
The students who came to see the list and those who had placed bets crowded together, looking for their names on the imperial list!
Number One: Pan Jinhai
Second place: Deng Ziming
Third Place: Lu Zhanyuan
Amid the blaring of gongs and drums, three men, wearing large red flowers and riding fine horses, paraded through the streets of the capital.
The originally wide street was filled with the sounds of firecrackers and congratulations. Some daring women even threw their self-sewn sachets and silk handkerchiefs at the three men. If they were liked by one of them, they would become the wives of the "Three Top Ones"!
Kong Linan felt extremely bitter when he heard the noisy noise coming from outside the door!
I studied hard for more than ten years, not daring to slack off for a single day. Fortunately, Yue Jinghao appreciated me and took care of my mother, relieving me of my worries. However, I failed to live up to her efforts...
Kong's mother saw what Kong Lin'an was thinking and consoled him, "Didn't Miss Yue tell you to be patient? We have to trust Miss Yue!"
Kong Linan smiled bitterly and nodded. For the first time, he felt that he was so useless...
Royal Palace
The three top scorers had rosy faces and entered the palace to meet the emperor in high spirits. They performed the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows. The old emperor happily patted the dragon throne and said three good words in a row.
Yan Liyuan leaned against the gilded chair, playing with the sachet that Yue Jinghao had given him.
He lowered his eyes to look at the old sachet, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips: After this matter is over, he will definitely ask her to send a good one! He didn't use her for nothing!
A guard hurriedly walked up to Yan Liyuan and whispered...
"The Emperor summons you, by the Will of Heaven, and says:..." The chief eunuch was about to read out the imperial edict when he was interrupted by Yan Liyuan in a deep voice.
"emperor!"
The eunuch stood there in a daze, his mouth wide open, not knowing whether he should shut up or continue reading.
The old emperor waved to the eunuch, who bowed and stepped aside.
The joy on the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's faces froze, and they had a bad premonition.
"Nine Thousand Years Old, what happened?" asked the old emperor.
This is only Yan Liyuan. Anyone else who dares to interrupt the reading of the imperial edict will be charged with disrespect!
This shows the old emperor's trust and indulgence in Yan Liyuan!
Yan Liyuan bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, a large number of students are heading to the palace!"
"What?" The old emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, "What are the students doing here?"
"Why not summon a leader so that the emperor can ask him personally!" Yan Liyuan said.
The old emperor nodded, "Come here, call the student!"
Soon, three students in coarse cloth gowns were brought in by the guards. Although they were poorly dressed, and even had patches on the cuffs of their gowns, they were very clean, which showed that they were all very polite.
"I bow to my emperor. Long live the emperor!"
As soon as the three of them finished kneeling, the Minister of Justice shouted angrily,
"How dare you! How dare you, these unruly people, gather the students and attempt to disrupt the capital. Come, take them away and give them fifty lashes!"
“Hehehe…” Yan Liyuan supported his head with one fist and said lazily, “I didn’t know that the Minister of the court has the final say!”
The Minister of Justice, who was chubby from eating, shuddered all over, but soon recovered: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will handle this impartially! The law says: If a citizen accuses an official of disrespect, he should be beaten with fifty sticks first! If the official is still alive after the execution, the government can accept the case!"
"Does the Minister have the ability to predict the future?" Yan Liyuan glanced at him, and just this one glance made the Minister of Justice's heart jump.
"Wei Chen..."
"They just bowed and haven't said anything yet, but the Minister has already charged them with two crimes! Haha, it's a great honor for our country to have such a capable person as the Minister in the Ministry of Justice!"
The Minister of Justice then realized that he was too impatient!
"Your humble servant...your humble servant...is also worried about the safety of the emperor!"
"Oh?" Yan Liyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of teasing, "Sir, are the imperial guards and generals dead? Even if something happens, what can Sir do for the emperor? Fight with your flesh?"
"Puchi..." No one knew who started it, but all the officials lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, while some generals laughed out loud regardless.
“Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Minister will have to rest after running every few steps. By the time he reaches the Emperor, I will have killed over a thousand eight hundred assassins! Hahahaha…” An old general in armor stroked his beard and smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.
After hearing this, Yan Liyuan looked at the Minister of Justice with a mocking smile on his face.
The civil officials simply exchanged glances with each other, then silently lowered their heads, their eyes on their noses, their noses on their hearts... as if they did not hear the ridicule of the military generals.
