Chapter 231: Dynamic

Wenchang Academy suddenly became the focus of the entire Nanjing city.

Especially in the evening, it became more lively.

Those officials who were deserving the imperial court actually sat near the sedan chair, and then took a few sedan chairmen, dusted their official uniforms and walked in the garden.

They neither greeted the people who were watching the fun outside nor responded to the people inside. They just arrived near Wenchang Academy and stood there, the servant behind them quickly brought a small stool. Then the adults sat down, squinted their eyes and started to take a nap.

Immediately afterwards, a servant brought tea. The adults held the hot tea cup in their hands and did not rush to drink it. They just sat blankly with expressionless faces.

They just sat there, the old monk sat down, his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was a little disdainful in his noble self-admiration.

The appearance of these people immediately attracted an uproar among many people.

"That is Lord Zeng Shuzeng, a Shuji Shi. Lord Zeng is here. He is a Jinshi who was enrolled in the year of Jianwen. The article "The Tao is not far away from people, and cannot be used as Tao" was written by this person."

"What is Mr. Zeng doing here? Since he is here, why don't he speak?"

"But you don't know, of course, it's to protect the students in the academy, and you're afraid that these Jinyiwei will commit crimes. He doesn't say anything to avoid suspicion, so as not to be caught. He just sits here, who can do anything to him, and he doesn't say anything that violates the ban. Jinyiwei has the ability, so he can try it."

"Then is the imperial envoy, Lord Yang. Lord Yang has always spoken up for justice and is really a role model for us."

"There are also Lord Jiang, the head of the Ministry of Rites. Lord Jiang has always been low-key. Unexpectedly, he came too."

“…”

Intermittently, more than a dozen imperial officials appeared. They seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all brought tables and chairs, placed them under the courtyard wall, and then sat down without saying hello when they saw anyone. They just sat there, which attracted many people's surprises, and many people even gave thumbs up, so that the nearby tea shops and antique shops were all lying on the railings on the second floor to look at them. They talked: "Look at these hawks and dogs that are like wolves and tigers, and then look at these selfless and nobles. I have fun. These hawks and dogs are used to being domineering, but today I want to see if they dare to attack the academy."

The Jinyiwei's reputation is really not very good. It is probably because it has contacted more civilians. It gives people a bad impression, and some people deliberately vilify it. Not to mention scholars, even ordinary people are frightened when they see it, and they can't help but complain a few words in secret.

The clear stream is different, and the clear stream is high above. It is not down-to-earth, but it depends on the mouth and beautiful articles to make a living. Naturally, the mouth is full of good words, and every word is suffering among the people, which makes people respect it.

Hao Fenglou arrived. He looked at the adults and did not go up to make a call. It was already surrounded by people. It seemed that everyone was watching the excitement, which made the Jinyiwei and others a little discouraged.

Zhou Sili quietly pulled Hao Fenglou's sleeve, pulled it aside, and whispered: "Hao Qianhu, let's withdraw. This is the business of Beizhen Prefecture. Just let Lord Ji come and ask him about it. At most, we are not doing it well, but there is really no need to get into this muddy water, so let's forget it."

Hao Fenglou nodded and pondered: "This matter could have been forgotten, but after they hit someone, the account cannot be easily forgotten. Didn't you see it? Everyone is watching us. Once we leave, the face is lost. Since there is an errand, our Dongcheng Qianhushu has to grit our teeth and complete it. It is not because we want to please Shangguan, but to let everyone know that you and I are not the ones who retreat when we are in trouble. If we leave today, will we also retreat if we encounter difficulties tomorrow? If we encounter difficulties in the future, should we retreat again? If so, why do we need to be the Jinyiwei? As long as you are willing, I can transfer you to other yamen."

Zhou Sili shook his head and said, "It's not that he retreated because of the difficulties, it's just such a thing..."

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and said with his eyes on the left and right, "I just said that I will wait a little longer and prepare for a strong attack, so everyone should be prepared."

As time passed by bit by bit, many officials from the court emerged, which made many people brave. Many people recite poems and write poems in the academy. The content of the poems and write poems naturally has nothing good to say to the Jinyiwei.

It was approaching midnight, the moonlight was like a hook, and the hazy moonlight shone, and it still shone on the black earth. Fortunately, many people lit lanterns and set off torches here.

Twelve hours have passed, and many people have dispersed around and not many people insisting on staying. However, the adults sitting under the courtyard wall are still consuming here at this time, as if they are planning to stay here for a night.

Judging from this attitude, they planned to hold on.

Hao Fenglou naturally understood the thoughts of these people, and it was just to gain reputation. After this incident, they would definitely become a character praised by everyone and leave a good reputation among the scholars. With this reputation, it would be expected to rise to the top in the future.

Hao Fenglou shouted loudly: "Come here, prepare."

Dozens of lieutenants were ready, and they held bows in their hands and a pot of feathered arrows on their backs.

The muskets are not very effective against people in the courtyard wall. After all, muskets are flat shots and will be blocked by the courtyard wall. However, the arcs shot by bows and arrows are arcs that can directly pass through the courtyard wall and fall into the courtyard to hurt people.

When these imperial officials saw that the Jinyiwei had made movements, they all had no expression on their faces and looked like they had nothing to do with them. They guessed that these Jinyiwei were just scaring them and should not play the real thing, otherwise they would have hurt themselves by mistake, which would be a lot of trouble.

So everyone still sat high on Diaoyutai, showing a smile but not a smile.

"shoot!"

Hao Fenglou did not hesitate. Dozens of lieutenants pulled their bows and shot out the feather arrows in their hands.

Although dozens of arrows did not cover the clouds and the sun, they also whizzed through the courtyard wall with a terrifying aura.

Immediately afterwards, the academy suddenly became lively. Many students were in the courtyard, afraid that the Jinyiwei would climb over the wall or hit the door. At this time, the Jinyiwei suddenly shot an arrow. They were caught off guard. Several people were injured. Some people were in pain. Some people were "shenyin", and some people shouted in a hurry: "Brother Liu, Brother Liu, what's wrong? Not good, Brother Liu was shot in an arrow, and the Jinyiwei who killed thousands of swords..."

The court officials under the courtyard wall immediately saw it and their eyes suddenly became straight. Someone couldn't help but suddenly jumped up and pointed at Hao Fenglou: "Hao Fenglou, you are simply outrageous! You don't want to die!"

There were even a few people who were about to rush forward to take away the arrows from the archer's hands. Hao Fenglou still had a expressionless face and shouted: "Take these officials who have condoned the imperial offenders!"

At the order, the garrison lieutenant immediately stopped them and dragged them away directly.

The whole thing was not delayed, and Hao Fenglou was prepared for it. He still ordered people to shoot arrows. Then with a wave of his hand, the other lieutenants who were ready to move. Countless people rushed under the courtyard wall and were about to open the door.

Archery is just a cover, but its real purpose is the gate.

This is the simplest tactic. In Hao Fenglou's opinion, although it is simple, it is enough to deal with these scholars.

Hundreds of night-time students gathered in the courtyard wall. At this moment, everyone was stunned by the sudden arrow shot. Although the power of the arrow was not very strong, it had a great psychological effect. After all, they were scholars without any power. Everyone hurriedly stayed away from the courtyard wall and the gate. Some people shouted and scolded, and some were afraid and wanted to escape.

In the crowd, someone shouted: "What are you going? These hawks and dogs are trying to break the door. Once the door is knocked open, Lord Zhu will be finished. We study the teachings of Confucius and Mencius on weekdays and sacrifice our own self for righteousness. Haven't you read it through? Don't leave. Once you leave, all your previous efforts will be wasted. We are ashamed of the saint! Hurry up, block the door."

The person who shouted was actually Dr. Hu Kang in the academy.

The Wenchang Academy can establish a foothold in the capital, so naturally it has a close relationship with many people in the court. For example, Dr. Hu has an extraordinary identity. He is both a great scholar and the elder brother of Hu Guang, the current Hanlin attendant. Because he does not like to be an official and is lazy, he retired as early as the time of Jianwen. So he came forward to organize and build the Wenchang Academy. Some people become officials for power and position, and some people build academy for the sake of students all over the world. No matter what, although the ambitions of Hu Kang and Hu Guang are different, their goals are the same.

This time, Jinyiweiwei Academy is not a bad thing for Hu Kang. On the one hand, the academy became famous and became a holy place for many scholars. On the other hand, his reputation has also increased, and it can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

But at the moment, the academy was in danger, and Dr. Hu finally couldn't sit still.

He was not afraid of anything. He had many relationships in the court, which was enough to prevent him from being afraid of these Embroidered Uniform Guards. There were countless people behind the academy. At present, as long as he stayed in the academy, the longer the time would be, the more beneficial it would be, so the academy would never be able to lose.

A hint of coolness flashed through Hu Kang's eyes.

"Is Hao Fenglou? I heard about your name for a long time, but this time, you have to miscalculate. You provoke the wrong person you shouldn't provoke and stab the wrong hornet's nest. Although I have no grudges and grudges with you, there must be someone in this world who step on others' shoulders. If you want to step on my shoulders, I also want to borrow it from your shoulders."

Hu Kang had such thoughts. He was usually quite majestic in the academy and was deeply loved by the students. After hearing his words, many people ran back with sporadic arrows and rushed towards the gate.
