"Sir Li Gang is here!"
"It really is Lord Li!"
"Hello, Lord Li!"
Just as Zhao Huan was about to go and see what these students were talking about, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
Li Gang appeared in front of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, do you want to summon Li Gang?”
Cao Jie saw Li Gang and asked Zhao Huan for instructions.
"Let's wait and see what Li Gang is going to do.”
"Yes!"
Many of the people gathered here, as well as the students from the Imperial College, recognized Li Gang.
As soon as Li Gang arrived, he asked him all kinds of questions.
Where are the Jin soldiers? What siege?
Li Gang answered one by one.
"It seems that Li Gang's reputation is quite high. So many people know him!”
Cao Jie also nodded.
"Your Majesty, this servant has also heard that Li Gang advocated defending Tokyo and fighting the Jin people. He has won the support of many people and scholars.”
Zhao Huan nodded and didn't say anything else.
At this time, Li Gang was pulling a scholar to ask.
"Chen Dong, why did you bring these imperial students here again? Didn't I tell you to go back to the academy and stay there? Why are you disobedient again?!"
Chen Dong was not afraid of Li Gang's scolding. He said seriously,
"Lord Li, the Jin soldiers are at the city gates. As students of the Imperial College and citizens of the Great Song, even though we can't go up to the city gates to fight against the enemy, we can do some small things to boost morale and help the wounded.”
After Chen Dong finished speaking, many students from the Imperial College agreed.
"That's right, Lord Li. Since the Jin soldiers are attacking the city, let us run errands and do what we can!”
"We have enjoyed the grace of the Imperial Court and received the Emperor's favor. Now that the country is in trouble, as Imperial College students, how can we sit idly by and live in disgrace!”
"That's right, we can't live in disgrace. We have to do our best for the Great Song!”
These students were very excited, and the countless onlookers were also affected. One by one, they requested to join the team that guarded the city.
Looking at these enthusiastic people, Li Gang was also very gratified.
"Human hearts are useful!"
Li Gang nodded and cupped his hands at everyone.
"As citizens of the Great Song, I, Li Gang, thank you on behalf of His Majesty, the Imperial Court, and the people of the world for fighting alongside the Imperial Court when the Great Song was in trouble!”
The surrounding crowd expressed that this was what they should do.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked Li Gang.
"Lord Li, I heard that the Retired Emperor brought Majesty Kang and the others out of Tokyo last night for a southern tour. Is that true?”
"That's right. I heard that Wang Boyan and the others left with the Retired Emperor.”
" These people, enjoying high positions and high salaries, actually left Tokyo to flee at the critical moment. How hateful!”
"Oh right, I heard that Cai Jing and the others were captured and sent to Kaifeng Prefecture. I wonder if it's true!”
"If it's true, then that's great. Cai Jing, these treacherous officials, made the Great Song court into a mess. They deserve to be killed!”
In the crowd, discussions began.
Seeing this, Li Gang quickly stopped the topic.
"Everyone, listen to me. His Majesty is currently guarding Tokyo, leading the Imperial Army to defend against the Jin soldiers. Please rest assured, His Majesty has ordered us to defend Tokyo, so Tokyo will be foolproof. Everyone, disperse. Don't gather at the city gate, so as not to affect the Imperial Army's deployment and hinder the defense of the city!”
"As long as His Majesty is here!"
"That's right. With His Majesty around, we can rest assured!”
Chen Dong suddenly said to Li Gang,"
"Lord Li, you should see His Majesty often, right? When you see His Majesty, you must tell him not to let Cai Jing and the others go. These rebels are people who bring disaster to the country and the people.”
"That's right. Cai Jing and the others should be beheaded!”
"Cai Jing and the others deserve to be killed. The world is in a foul mood because of them.”
"That's right, he deserves to be killed!"
When the surrounding crowd heard Chen Dong's words, they became agitated and demanded that Li Gang tell Zhao Huan to kill Cai Jing and the others.
Li Gang glared at Chen Dong. This guy was really talkative.
Li Gang had no choice. At this time, he could only pacify these people.
"Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and the others have such bad reputations!" Zhao Huan sighed.”
Seeing this, Chong Lin whispered,
"Your Majesty, you might not know this, but Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and the others are people who are wanted to be killed by the people. However, due to the Retired Emperor's prestige, many people dare not speak out!”
Zhao Huan nodded without batting an eyelid. His eyes lit up as he thought of an idea.
"Since these people hate Cai Jing and the others so much, why not bring them over and behead them in front of so many people? Wouldn't my prestige increase significantly?”
After all, an emperor needed to gain prestige.
Once he had prestige, many things would be easier to handle.
"Cao Jie!"
Zhao Huan reminded Cao Jie, who nodded in understanding.
Cao Jie shouted at the crowd,""His Majesty has arrived!"
Cao Jie's voice was quite loud.
For a moment, countless people turned their gazes behind them.
They found an extremely dignified man in a dragon robe standing at the city gate, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand.
"Is…is this really His Majesty?"
"It should really be His Majesty!"
When Li Gang heard Cao Jie's voice, his heart tightened. He quickly followed the gaze of the crowd and realized that Zhao Huan had really appeared at the city gate.
"Why did Your Majesty come here?”
" Zhao Huan!" Li Gang called out to himself and quickly ran to Zhao Huan.
"Your humble subject Li Gang greets Your Majesty!" After Li Gang bowed, he asked Zhao Huan softly,"Your Majesty, why are you here? This is the outer city. It's dangerous!”
