What happened on the mountain finally came to an end when thousands of people were escorted to the Chang 'an military camp.
Zhang Feng was furious.
He wanted to kill all of them.
But he also knew that it was not a good time to kill. At the very least, he couldn't give up until he found out who was behind it. He couldn't give Qian Wanli an explanation.
After Zhang Feng left the Academy, the sound of horns and drums never stopped.
All the students knew what happened at the foot of the mountain and what happened to Qian Wanli.
Everyone in the Academy was furious.
All the students wanted to chop those people into pieces. But they didn't give up until they knew that those people ended up worse than death.
At the same time, all the students knew that Zhang Feng dared to kill the four big clans in Chang 'an for a student.
At this moment, the hearts of all the students in the Academy were burning.
With such a dean who only wanted to protect them, if they didn't work hard, they would really be letting the dean down.
Yu Shinan and the other three compiled a three-thousand-word eulogy for Qian Wanli and sent it down the mountain as fast as possible.
Zhang Feng didn't carry Qian Wanli on his back.
Instead, he asked someone to find the best coffin in Chang 'an and bought all the firecrackers in Chang' an. He wore mourning clothes and stood in front of the coffin. He held the Soul-leading Banner and led Cheng Chumo and the others to Chang 'an City.
Ma Zhou and the others were carrying the coffin.
Everyone in the Ji Mountain market, no matter if they were merchants, children, or people from the Tong Hui Square, they all came to Qian Wanli's funeral.
The firecrackers never stopped along the way.
Li Shimin, who was in the Imperial Palace, could hear the sound of firecrackers clearly.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy.
As for Wei Zheng and the others, they remained silent with solemn expressions.
At this moment, Xiao Guizi came to Li Shimin in a hurry with the information from the spy, "Your Majesty, Prince Zhang is wearing mourning clothes to see Young Master Qian off!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he thought to himself, "Did the Qian family tell them about this?"
"Yes, and it was the people from the Minister of State. Not only that, but the dean of the Imperial College, Hongwen Guan, also went to Xiao Mountain."
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression eased a little. "At least they are tactful. Did you see anyone else, such as people from the five surnames and seven clans?"
"Well …"
Xiao Guizi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, they haven't been found out yet. However, the whole of Chang 'an is in a state of panic. The Tang, Bai, Mi, and Gao families are wandering around and visiting the mansions of the officials."
"Go and find out who they visited. I want to see who dares to stand up for them today!"
Wei Zheng heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the officials of those families are kneeling outside Taiji Palace. Some have even gone to find the concubines. At this time, there are also people in the imperial harem who have gone to plead with the Empress. What should we do? "
Plead with the Empress?
Li Shimin sneered and said, "Anyone who dares to go to the imperial harem will be dealt with as if they are causing trouble in the imperial harem. I want to see which concubine dares to stand up for them!"
Zhangsun Wuji coughed and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Tang and Concubine Gao are both from these families. Although they are side relatives, but …"
"As long as they dare to do it, do it according to the law. Xiao Guizi, you personally supervise this matter!"
Xiao Guizi heard this and said in horror, "Yes!"
Was the Emperor going to take this opportunity to clean up the imperial harem?
Or …
Was he going to take this opportunity to clean up the big families in Chang 'an?
After all, the last time Kong Yingda, that old fellow, had stopped the Emperor from taking back the excess land in their hands. Now that he was investigating these families, the Emperor was obviously making a mountain out of a molehill. However, the most important thing was that the Emperor had followed Zhang Feng's temper and went with the flow!
Although they knew, Xiao Guizi did not dare to mention it.
After all, this would definitely make tomorrow's morning court very lively.
And at this time, the Emperor was angry, so they did not dare to touch his reverse scale.
But that was just that, Zhang Feng was really angry this time.
Moreover, Zhang Feng's anger really gave all of them a big fright.
Li Shimin was also shocked by Zhang Feng.
But after learning the truth, Li Shimin felt that Zhang Feng was being too soft-hearted. These bastards, why did he give them so much time?
Wouldn't it be better to kill them all?
What a waste of time.
At this thought, Li Shimin thought of Kong Yingda. If this bastard did not do something superfluous and secretly went up the mountain in spite of the imperial edict, how could he have caused so much trouble?
And at this time, Li Shimin did not know what would happen in the future because of this matter.
At this thought, Li Shimin was furious.
"Pass down the imperial edict, order the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Appointments, Dali Temple, Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Guanglu Temple to cooperate to thoroughly investigate Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda is to be put in the imperial prison and all his properties are to be found. Anyone who dares to complain about his injustice is to be arrested!"
"This —!"
Wei Zheng and the others' faces changed instantly.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Duke Kong might not know about this. These people must have deliberately framed Duke Kong!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I have decided!"
"…"
