It was noon, and the magnificent imperial city was bathed in the early spring sunshine, becoming taller and more majestic, living up to the name of the God Capital.

On the tower of Xuanren Gate of the Imperial City, the imperial guard generals on duty watched the downstairs getting closer and closer, and the torrent of Qingjin were frowning tightly. [The latest updates in search are all here.]

But compared to the military robe on the long street, although the general was frowning, he felt much more relaxed.

This is because there is the person standing in front of him and he would occasionally glance at him.

That's a woman.

The woman who followed the Holy Emperor for fifteen years and was closest to the Holy Emperor.

With this woman here, she will naturally make the decision. If you decide it correctly, can you do it without any effort afterwards?

The mistake of the decision is also a decisive execution. Anyway, she can withstand the big mistakes based on her identity, so what can I worry about?

There is no need to be forced to make a life-and-death decision between advance and retreat. Compared with the robe on the long street, this Xuanren Gate is so much happier.

Shangguan Wan'er held the battlements in her hand and looked quietly below. Since she received the news that the commander of the imperial guards and the commander of the flying cavalry, the Holy Emperor nodded to her, she set out here.

The moment she arrived, it happened to be the most intense moment when Qing Jin Torrent collided with the imperial guards. When she walked up to the city, she could barely see the scene of Tang Song pressing towards the blade and spear with his flesh and blood.

Of course she couldn't see Tang Song clearly, but when she climbed up to look into the distance, Qingjin Torrent was close to the imperial city, and the weather today was really good, so although it was a little blurry, she still caught up with this scene and saw it.

He followed the Holy Emperor at the age of fourteen. After fifteen years, Shangguan Wan'er witnessed the Dragon Queen becoming the Holy Emperor step by step, and also witnessed the countless dark battles and bloody killings in the process.

Especially when she saw the Queen Shenlong Tian ascend the throne on the corpse of her two biological sons, many things in this world that were about to collapse in the eyes of others were nothing in her eyes.

Although she is a woman, although she is only twenty-nine years old, because of her past experiences, Shangguan Wan'er naturally developed a calm and grand atmosphere that could not change her colors even if she collapsed before.

It was such a woman who, when she climbed the city tower, saw Tang Song taking the initiative to force the blade and spear of the imperial guards, her face showed a moving look.

It’s really hard to explain just because I have thought that this movement has something to do with Tang Song.

In an instant, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly became curious, curious about what these tribute students who were powerless were shouting, which made them so enthusiastic.

It's funny, maybe it's because it's too close, or maybe it's because the sound is too loud, so I can't hear it clearly.

After a while, the person who sent to inquire nearby came back, and the reward was clearly clear:

"Please enter the imperial city and go to the emperor!"

"Scholars must be broad and resolute, and have a long way to go"

"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and those who sacrifice their lives to seek righteousness."

"The sword is drawn and the young man will live up to the point of failure"

The reward of the searcher continued, but Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts flew to a very far place.

He flew to the former leader of the poetry world who was once famous all over the world and created the "Shangguan Style" and attracted the imitation of the Shilins.

He flew to the prime minister of the former dynasty who was left home by the Holy Emperor because he advised Emperor Gaozong to abolish the queen and wrote the edict of the queen. He flew to the prime minister of the previous dynasty whom she had seen in her infancy but had no impression of it.

Although she has gained the absolute trust of the Holy Emperor, and although she can easily accomplish many things that seem difficult to others as she is now, this still cannot change "Shangguan Yi"

Still a taboo fact.

No one would talk about Shangguan Yi in front of her, nor would she reveal any unique emotions for this name in front of the Holy Emperor.

But in countless moments of being alone, she inevitably always thinks of this name and the person who owns it.

Although this person was beheaded for committing rebellion, she always feels proud in her heart whether Shangguan Wan'er is willing to admit it or not.

This is the connection between blood and blood. This is the connection between blood and blood, which is thicker than water, and it cannot be cut even if you want to cut it.

It is precisely because of this that she has asked Yiyi countless times why that strange grandfather did that?

It made him not clear about the power and means of the Dragon Queen? This explanation as his identity as prime minister is simply unreasonable.

Stump him and don't know the consequences of doing so?

At that time, Emperor Shenlong had already shown his glorious appearance, and even Emperor Gaozong was helpless against her. As a minister, he still didn't know what would happen if she was guilty of such a crime? This explanation also makes no sense.

Why? After countless pursuits, there was no answer. In the end, Shangguan Wan'er could only accept a saying that she heard a long time ago when she was still a lowly palace maid: Shangguan Yi died of being upright and not being upright, but dared to advise him.

However, after learning about this for fifteen years and seeing too many means of power struggle, she was even more incomprehensible.

Doing it even though you know that you cannot do it, but knowing that doing that will cause unfathomable disasters, but you still have to do it. Why is this?

Although she knew that there was a saying in Confucian classics that "if you know that you cannot do it, a gentleman will take the right of his official position", she had no imagination about her experience and Shangguan Yizhen finally embarked on the road of no return for this sentence, and even spared no effort to live the lives of herself and the entire family.

This person, this question has troubled Shangguan Wan'er for too long. But now, at this moment, witnessing Tang Song's fierce choice just now, after hearing the words he shouted, she seemed to understand something.

It turns out that there are people in this world who are as stupid as Shangguan Yi and who will make the same choice as Shangguan Yi, and this person is right in front of her.

Piaofei's thoughts were finally pulled back by the imperial guard general.

Shangguan Wan'er turned around.

The imperial guard general pointed at Qing Jin Hongliu below, "They are coming soon. Should we close the city gate? Or send out the imperial guards?"

"Who are they?"

The general on duty asked this question was a little confused, but he still answered honestly, "Treasure student, scholar."

"Can they carry weapons?" "No"

"Is it time to close the city gate now?"

"No" the voice of the on-duty general's reply gradually became smaller. "Then why should we close the city gate?"

The on-duty general can no longer answer.

"What is this? This is the palace where the Holy Emperor is the emperor of the world, and closes the city gate! Do you want to tell the world that the Holy Emperor is afraid of her people? Fear of this group of unarmed scholars?"

She did not shout loudly or pretended to be cold. Shangguan Wan'er's voice was so ordinary, but she said that the natural momentum at this time made the commanding general who had been through many battles unable to bear it.

"I dare not do it"

"I know you don't dare, for nothing, don't act like a silent person. It won't be too much of a good man."

After this simple conversation, Shangguan Wan'er was in a difficult mood, and after visiting Qing Jin Hongliu again, she said in a normal tone: "Please enter the statue of the Holy City and go to the emperor. Since they must enter the imperial city, let them come in."

After saying this sentence is more like a conversation about yourself, Shangguan Wan'er stopped reading it and turned around and walked downstairs.

The "Well-to-man" in the last sentence of the conversation just now comforted the general on duty well. In addition, his responsibilities were lying. Even though he knew that he might have a hard time talking, he still followed Shangguan Wan'er and asked: "Do you want to send some people to reinforce the palace city gate? What if these people enter the imperial city and attack the palace city."

"Loyalty is commendable! But remember that your duty is to be on duty at Xuanren Gate, and it is enough to do your part. Finally, I would like to remind you that they are the people of the Holy Emperor. The people come to see the emperor without any armed forces. At least in this palace, the Holy Emperor will never let them see soldiers." "That, that"

"They are no longer the people of Your Majesty! But that's not your duty." Without further explanation, Shangguan Wan'er left this sentence and steadily went down the city tower and returned to the palace city.

As countless people were watching, Qing Jin Hongliu walked into Xuanren Gate and into the imperial city. From beginning to end, the imperial soldiers on duty at Xuanren Gate did not assemble or block it. In short, there was no abnormality as the tribute students rolled forward with the statues.

The vast imperial city is very quiet. In the past, if you have any trouble, you always have to find an opportunity to come out. The staggering officials of various temple supervisors have retreated into the office room. From the half-open windows, they watched the torrent advance, and the young man in the Confucian uniform walking in front of the torrent.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, Tang Song did not lead the tribute students to call on those classic Confucian remarks. He just marched silently, and for a moment, the entire imperial city heard rustling footsteps.

Finally, Qingjin Torrent reached the end of the imperial city, and more than ten meters ahead was the taller and thicker palace gate.

The gate of the palace city is like Xuanren Gate of the imperial city. There is no sign of the increase in the number of generals on duty, nor is there any tension in their arrangements. Everything is ordinary.

The only unusual thing is that there is a person standing on the tall wood hood at the gate of the palace city that was originally used to serve tea cups for the soldiers on duty.

An old man wearing a purple official robe, white hair and a tough and decisive face.

The old man quietly watched Qing Jin Hongliu roll forward, barely at the distance between him and Tang Song looking at each other and could see each other clearly, the old man standing on the high-groove gang said loudly, "It's Di Renjie, you have entered the imperial city, so stop here."

Although his hair is white, his energy is quite strong.

Tang Song, who was walking in the front, stopped, and the dozens of tribute students who were carrying the statue with him stopped at the same time. At almost the same time, a burst of exclamations sounded at the front of the torrent of tribute students who had been quiet and quiet since entering the imperial city.

"Di Gong!"

"Di Xiang!"

"Di Gong is here, and the current corruption case will definitely be revealed."

The surprise scream spread back little by little, and soon every tribute student spread everywhere. It turned out that the tribute student who had never stopped in front of the blade and spearhead of the Imperial Guard stopped at the same time.

After leaving the Gongyuan, Qing Jin Torrent, who was carrying the tragic and lonely spirit of the sky, stopped in front of the old man named Di Renjie after a sentence.

Tang Song looked at the most famous and most popular wise minister during Wu Zetian's reign. There were too many records about him in historical books.

According to historical records, when he was in charge of the sentence, he sentenced a large number of backlog cases in just one year of office. These cases involved more than 17,000 people, but after Di Renjie finished his judgment, none of the more than 7,000 people sued again.

He made such a state of judgment as a god, and his affairs were so fair that he was so fair that he spread the name of "Di Qingtian". Even the people in remote and humble alleys knew that there was a big blue sky in the court, and the great good official named Di Renjie.

Not only did he make a case like a god, but also when he held other official positions, Di Renjie was able to achieve "a sage has an impermanent heart, and takes the heart of the people as his heart", sympathizes with the people, and loves the people as his son. Over time, he has established an unshakable monument in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty. So much so that the people always give him the greatest trust when they see him.

This is the fundamental reason why he can make Qingjin's torrent stop with just one word.

Zhou Wu inherited the Tang Dynasty and supported the world, and had tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of officials. However, the only one who could make everyone in the world admire him was Di Renjie!

"The emperor has heard about the affairs of the Gongyuan today. If you want to obtain talents in the current academic year, the court will definitely give you justice."

Speaking loudly, Di Renjie's eyes shifted from the crowd of tribute students to Tang Song at the front, "Are you Tang Song, a scholar from Xiangzhou?"

At this time, the statue of Kong Sheng had been put down. Tang Song heard the question, stepped forward and bowed to Di Renjie, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes"

"When you want to go to the emperor, you can't go there together. Since this matter is caused by you, you will represent these tribute students to meet the saint."

Tang Song suddenly looked up and looked directly at Di Renjie, "I'm the only one?"

"What, don't you dare?"

When things developed to this point, Tang Song had no way out, so he didn't care. Besides, with Di Renjie in charge, he didn't want to go alone, and it would be difficult for these tribute students to act according to his guidance.

Hearing this, he didn't argue anything. He smiled lightly and turned around.

After straightening the messy clothes on his body, Tang Song stood still and bowed to the tribute crowd.

The tribute students standing in front of the crowd hurriedly returned the salute when they saw this.

There was still a hoarse voice, "Today, I can join you in this grand ceremony to protect the holy and protect the way with you. This is the quickest thing in my life! If there is a future, I will definitely drink and chat with you, and never return without getting drunk. If there is no future, we will make an appointment for the next life! All the historians, say goodbye!"

After saying that, Tang Song bowed to the tribute student again, and then turned around and walked straight into the palace.

Looking at his somewhat tender but firm back, recalling the scenes along the way, the tribute students were indescribable, especially the dozen young scholars who carried the statue with him. Some of them had red eyes and shouted to Tang Song's back: "Tang Song, I'm waiting for you here, we're waiting for you here, you must come back!"
