Taiji Palace, outside the Gate of Heaven Influence.
Kong Yan's eyes were half-opened. When he saw his uncle, his eyelids could not help but twitch.
"You guys are really bold. Do you know where this place is? Heaven Influence Sect!" Kong Yingda pointed at Zhu Sanlang and spat, leaving the other ministers dumbstruck.
Zhu Sanlang was extremely humble, but he still had to squeeze out an apologetic smile on his face.
This was the Young Master's uncle. He couldn't be beaten, scolded, or killed!
"Cough cough ~" Kong Yan couldn't help but cough. If he allowed his uncle to continue scolding him, the atmosphere would be ruined.
Kong Yingda turned to look at Kong Yan and couldn't help but sneer. Just as he was about to burst out in anger, he heard Kong Yan say slowly,
"I have been expelled from the Kong Clan. I hope that Confucius will have some self-respect. Today, I have an imperial edict in my hands. Everything I do is approved by His Majesty!"”
Kong Yan stood up and bowed to Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda frowned and said coldly,""Do you know what you are doing? Don't tell me you haven't offended enough of these officials?”
Kong Yan pondered and smiled.”
Kong Yingda's face darkened as she said angrily,""Is this a matter of benevolence and righteousness?"
Kong Yan's smile remained unchanged as he said,""Confucius, please move."
"You..." Kong Yingda was trembling with anger.
"Send someone to send Confucius back to the Imperial College.”Kong Yan instructed.
Zhu Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief and gave the two men behind him a look.
Then, Kong Yingda was lifted up.
"You bastard, how dare you treat me like this?”Kong Yingda's face was filled with disbelief.
Kong Yan sighed, sat down, and waved his hand. He closed his eyes and chose not to panic.
Kong Yingda cursed and swore along the way. Some generals praised,"So it turns out that when scholars scold people, it's also so unpleasant to hear.”
The news of the Sky Bearing Gate naturally reached Li Shi Min's ears.
When he heard that his ministers were all blocked from entering, he was dumbfounded.
Especially after he heard [as if he was in person], his face was filled with black lines.
"What a good Regal Arrival!" Li Shiming was in a dilemma. He didn't know that imperial edicts could be played like this!
Wang De bowed to the side, also speechless.
He had sent imperial edicts to many ministers, but none of them dared to play like this.
Most of the ministers kept the edict well, afraid that it would be lost. Under normal circumstances, they would not show it to others.
"Let's go and take a look." Li Shi Min harrumphed. With all the civil and military officials blocked outside the Sky Bearing Gate, the morning assembly would definitely not be able to begin.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't we stop them?”Wang De couldn't help but ask.
He felt that Kong Yan's actions today were too absurd.
"Hmph, zhen wants to see what he wants to do!”Li Shi Min said coldly.
Outside the Sky Bearing Gate, as the morning court session approached, the officials who arrived had higher and higher positions.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Li Ji, Xiao Yu, and the other military and political ministers arrived.
Zhu Sanlang's expression became more and more solemn, his face cold and stern.
Some people had been in high positions for a long time and were already able to show their might without being angry.
If there were only one or two of them, Zhu Sanlang wouldn't be bothered. After all, he had been by Kong Yan's side and had seen some big scenes.
But now, a group of officials were staring at him like tigers eyeing their prey. This made him feel slightly guilty.
"His Majesty has decreed that my young master has full authority to investigate the murder of Duke Xue's Zhangsun Shunde. He can investigate the imperial family of the Tang Empire and the civil and military officials…" Third
Zhu repeated his words expressionlessly.
The newly arrived ministers looked at each other. Compared to the small officials who were fuming, they were much calmer.
"Kid, are you really not afraid of death?”Li Jing asked with narrowed eyes.
Kong Yan glanced at him, then turned to Li Junxian."Someone will harm me later. Remember to protect me.”
Li Junxian's face darkened
.
"What do you want to do?" Du Ruhui's face sank.
Kong Yan sat up straight and said,"Investigate the case!"
"Here?" Fang Xuanling raised his eyebrows.
"It's here." Kong Yan nodded.”
"Who are you interrogating?" Zhangsun Wuji asked slowly.”
Kong Yan's gaze swept across the square and said indifferently,""All the civil and military officials present are within my jurisdiction.”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yu's face was livid as he angrily rebuked,"You're simply lawless and arrogant!”
With that, he turned to Li Junxian and demanded,"He's causing such a ruckus, and you're still standing by his side?”
Li Junxian stared straight ahead."His Majesty ordered me to protect Kong Yan. I have no right to interfere with the trial.”
"General Li is very responsible," Kong Yan praised.”
"
Then how do you plan to interrogate them?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask.”
"When everyone is here, you will naturally know.”Kong Yan yawned and changed into a more comfortable position. He had not slept the entire night last night, and now he was fighting back his sleepiness to talk to this group of dignitaries.
"Where…did you buy this couch?”Yuchi Jingde stared at the sofa under Kong Yan and couldn't help but ask.
"It's home-made." Kong Yan replied casually. He thought for a moment and said,"After I help you build your house, I will give you a set of corresponding furniture as compensation, including this…chair.”
"Kid, how much money do you have?”Cheng Yaojin asked.
He was considered one of the wealthiest nobles in Chang 'an, but he felt like a poor man compared to the other party.
The others also turned to Kong Yan. They were also curious about how much money this young man had.
"This question…is not easy to answer.”Kong Yan frowned, feeling that Cheng Yaojin was making things difficult for him.
"Let's put it this way. When I make friends with someone, I will never ask how much money they have.”Kong Yan pondered for a moment and said,"Because no matter how rich he is, he's definitely not as rich as me.”
After
a moment of silence, Cheng Yaojin said,""I want to beat him up."
"Me too." Hou Junji sighed.
The others didn't say anything, but their expressions showed that they wanted to beat Kong Yan up.
Zhu Sanlang swept his gaze across everyone's expressions and recalled the time when he first started following Kong Yan.
At that time, he was like a man biting on gold, wishing he could beat up his young master.
Slowly, he got used to it. He even learned how his young master spoke the truth, but it could make people half dead with anger.
"Everyone should be here.”Not long after, Zhu Sanlang said to Kong Yan.
"Everyone is here…then use the torture instruments!”Kong Yan sat up straight, glanced at Li Junxian, and ordered,"Form a square formation and forbid anyone from leaving!"”
"This general is only responsible for protecting you," Li Junxian said with a frown.”
"Then have the Golden Guards retreat.”Kong Yan said lightly.
Li Junxian's frown deepened.
"What do you want to do?"
"If you don't help, can't I find someone else?”Kong Yan laughed lightly and said,"Have the Golden Guards retreat. My men will take over this place!”
"Do you know what this means?”Li Junxian's eyes narrowed, his face cold.
The most taboo thing in the Imperial City was the appearance of private soldiers!
The expressions of the generals also turned cold.
"One hundred taels for each person, one thousand for a hundred thousand taels.”Kong Yan yawned and said casually,"This means that you just helped this team of Golden Guards reject a hundred thousand taels of business.”
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, Cheng Yaojin asked,""Kid, you spent money to hire a thousand people?”
Kong Yan sighed and said,"Although His Majesty gave me an imperial edict, he did not give it to anyone. I am just a small halberd bearer in front of the palace. I have no soldiers under me. What else can I do other than spend money to hire people?”
"One hundred taels per person?" A soldier from the Golden Guards could not help but ask.
Kong Yan shrugged and said,""Not many people dare to come. This price is still acceptable.”
"…"
Everyone fell silent. Some of the Golden Guards had twisted expressions on their faces.
Li Junxian's face was dark, especially when he realized that the atmosphere in the Golden Guards was a little off.
He had a feeling that after today, many of the Golden Guards would be drawing little figures for him.
"It's too dangerous." Li Ji looked deeply at Kong Yan and said slowly.
The officials were silent, all understanding the meaning of Li Ji's words.
Kong Yan also understood. He laughed at himself and said,""It's better to spend it than to be robbed!”
"..."
The ministers thought of the matter of the treasury of the Falling Goose Pavilion.
The news that the treasury of the Pavilion of Wild Goose had been filled with the national treasury had spread throughout Chang 'an. Many of the civil and military officials had witnessed the incident.
