What a lucky world!

Chapter 265 The emperor is about to collapse, and the white lotus is about to move!
This is an ordinary day.

Qi Yanyang woke up at the hour of Mao, and with the help of his two concubines, he put on his Ming Guang armor, equipped himself with the Tenglong sword, and took out the long spear that symbolized might from the ancestral hall. He then walked towards the palace city in the morning light.

Qi Yanyang is a palace guard, a position that has always been reserved for the emperor's confidants. Even though he is only a seventh-rank military officer today, in another month he will be transferred into the army and promoted directly to captain.

So, he was in a happy mood.

It was not until a few hours later that the group of students rushed to the palace gate!
……

The sun was scorching at noon. Qi Yanyang, who was fully armored, had beads of sweat on his forehead. The sweat flowed down his face and neck into his clothes. His whole body was sticky and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he could no longer care about that.

Looking at the students kneeling in rows in front of him, reciting the "Great Edict" written by the founding emperor himself, Qi Yanyang felt his head buzzing.

Knock on the palace gate!

This is called knocking on the palace gate!

Under what circumstances would one be knocked on the door?

Only when the emperor fails in his duties and all officials lose their voices, will there be benevolent and righteous people who will risk their lives to knock on the emperor's door!
The last time he knocked on the palace gate flashed through Qi Yanyang's mind.

That was twenty years ago. An Tianxia, a great scholar who served as the governor of Yuezhou, wrote a letter to the emperor entitled "On the Cracked Country", in which he bitterly listed twenty major evils of the dynasty and enumerated fifteen mistakes of the emperor. It shocked the court and the public, and the emperor was furious and sentenced An Tianxia to be beheaded and thrown into the market.

At that time, it was the time of the imperial examination.

Hundreds of candidates taking the imperial examinations gathered outside the palace and knocked on the door to plead for mercy in order to bring peace to the country.

Afterwards, all the candidates who participated in the knocking on the palace gate were dismissed, their achievements were stripped away, and they were never allowed to enter officialdom for the rest of their lives.

All the guards who were guarding the imperial palace at that time were demoted to commoners and exiled three thousand miles away.

When he thought of this, even though the sun was shining brightly, Qi Yanyang felt a chill all over his body.

But what can he do?
The people in front of him were all students from the Imperial Academy, and they were reciting the "Great Edict". If he dared to use force, all the officials in the court would kill him without him knowing how he died.

"Everyone, calm down."

"Knocking on the gate won't solve any problems."

"You can go back and write a petition to your teachers, and have them present it to the court!"

"It's too hot, everyone please go back first!"

Qi Yanyang could only persuade them like this over and over again. As long as he could get the students to leave before sunset, at least he would not be exiled.

After shouting for more than ten times, seeing no one moving, Qi Yanyang took a sip of tea and asked, "Has the Minister of Rites not arrived yet?"

The students are from the Imperial Academy, which is under the Ministry of Rites. It is only natural for them to disperse the students.

Just as his subordinate was about to answer, Qi Yanyang, who was in the Judan realm, moved his ears and heard the sound of complicated footsteps.

He turned his head and saw a group of officials in official uniforms running towards the palace gate.

Qi Yanyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally...

Ok?
wrong!

Qi Yanyang frowned, noticing something unusual.

There are too many officials here!

At least a hundred officials were seen running in from all directions. Judging from their official uniforms, they ranged from minor officials of the sixth or seventh rank to senior officials of the third or fourth rank. From the directions they were running from, some seemed to be from various government offices, while some seemed to be coming from home...

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 things are wrong!

It was not until these officials ran to the gate of the imperial palace and sat down around the students that Qi Yanyang's heart finally settled down.

These officials are not here to persuade the students, but to join them!

"Lord Liu, what are you doing?" Qi Yanyang saw that the person sitting in the front row was Liu Donglai, the Left Vice Minister of Rites. He walked over, bent down, and asked softly, "If you have anything to say, you can talk about it in the court!"

"When students knock on the palace gate, we officials feel ashamed. We cannot rest easy if we don't join them," Liu Donglai said calmly.

"But..." Qi Yanyang decided to persuade him and said, "The students were knocking on the palace gate, but you...you are forcing the emperor to abdicate!"

"Then force the emperor to abdicate!" Liu Donglai said righteously, "My superiors and colleagues are currently imprisoned in Zhao Prison by His Majesty's decree." "The students don't know how Lord He died."

"I don't know what mistakes my colleagues made!"

"Is it because I offended Zhang Taiyue?"

"Your Majesty is the Majesty of all the people of the world, not just Zhang Taiyue. Your Majesty should not love one person and thank the world!"

After saying this, Liu Donglai took off his official hat and held it in his hands.

"Minister Liu said it well!"

"As expected of the Hedong Liu clan!"

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't thank the world for loving one person!"

Immediately, all the officials followed suit and took off their official hats!

This is... all officials strike court!
Numb! Qi Yanyang was completely numb!

He turned his head to look at the palace, feeling that a flying sword would fly out at any time and chop off his head!
……

No flying swords flew out of the palace.

On the contrary, the palace is now in chaos.

Because Emperor Chiyang fainted again.

At this time in the past, everything was in order because the empress dowager was in charge. But at this time, the empress dowager went home to visit her relatives, and Emperor Chiyang had not yet appointed a queen, so things were really chaotic for a while.

It was not until Wang Fuan killed several eunuchs and palace maids that the palace was stabilized and he quickly sent for the imperial physician.

Several imperial doctors took turns taking Emperor Chiyang's pulse, looked at each other, and then left.

"Everyone, how is His Majesty?" Wang Fuan came forward and asked.

The Imperial Hospital official sighed softly, "The backlash of luck is coming with great force. Zhang Taiyue is gone, and there is no one to borrow his luck. This time, I'm afraid it will be more disastrous than good."

"Eunuch Wang, please ask the Queen to come back and take charge of the situation!"

……

In a secret room of a teahouse, two people were talking in low voices.

"What a vicious chain of tactics!" someone sighed. "The students knocking on the palace gate is just the beginning; the final blow is when all officials suspend court!"

"When court is adjourned, the luck of all officials will temporarily be transferred to the emperor. Given the young emperor's physique, this will inevitably cause a backlash on his luck."

"I don't think the little emperor can make it this time!"

Another person nodded in agreement, "It was those thousand-year-old families who took action!"

"The relationship between the young emperor and Zhang Taiyue is one and two, two and one. If we wait until the young emperor grows up and then invite Zhang Taiyue back, those aristocratic families will be in even greater trouble."

"Really?" The first person chuckled. "That makes things convenient for us."

Another person nodded in agreement: "Once the little emperor dies, the Prince of the Eastern Palace will ascend the throne."

"Prince Duan is a collateral branch, his title is not legitimate, and he is ambitious but incompetent, fond of ostentation, and frivolous. If he becomes emperor, he will not be able to suppress the destiny of the world."

"The opportunity for the Holy Archbishop has arrived."

The first person smiled, his eyes etched with fascination as he softly chanted: The mortal world is like a prison, all living beings suffer; reincarnation never ceases, worries never cease; take pity on us mortals, a god descends from heaven; the Mother of No Birth, the home of the True Void…

……

At this moment in Qianyuan Wuzhai, Zhang Mu frowned slightly as he listened to Bai Jingqi's words.

"The Qian family of Cangqing City?"

"Are they related to the White Lotus?"
