I really became a prince

After a vague reminder, Ning Dong came to see Jiang Yi who had something to say and a well-thought-out look, so he didn't say anything more.

The two walked forward side by side for a while, Ning Donglai's footsteps suddenly accelerated, and Jiang Yi fell several positions in the blink of an eye, and as his pace continued to accelerate, the distance between the two became wider and wider.

Jiang Yi knew why, didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward according to his own pace.

On both sides of the road, from time to time, there was a figure bowing to him, with a sad and solemn expression, but also a hint of inexplicable pleading.

These people are all wearing old gowns and square scarves on their heads. They exude a faint bookishness. They are the scholars in this world.

Jiang Yi knew why they bowed to him, and Ning Donglai, who was far away from him, also knew why, but the two of them knew it, and most of the hundreds of thousands of people present today knew it.

"Hey, these craftsmen are really pitiful." Someone couldn't help sighing after seeing this scene.

"Yeah, but they are so useless. King Yi is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself. How can he help them?" One person answered.

"To cancel the academy, I'm afraid it is imperative today. With the power of Duke Yi alone, nothing can be changed at all..."

"..."

Seeing the craftsmen present salute silently to Jiang Yi from time to time, everyone was discussing in low voices. With tens of 10 people present, the "buzzing" discussion became a bit noisy for a while.

There is sympathy, disdain, and of course inexplicable gloating...

But soon, the buzzing and noisy discussion became quieter and quieter, and finally disappeared completely. The entire outer square, where no less than 30 people gathered, became silent.

Everyone watched this scene silently, and seemed to be moved by this scene.

Originally, there were only scattered artisans saluting Jiang Yi, but as Jiang Yi got closer to the palace, more and more people saluted him silently.

At the last distance, there were already a succession of figures, all bowing to Jiang Yi in salute.And they were all consciously and willingly. When you looked around, there was a mass of black figures bowing their heads silently. This scene was really shocking.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that there were so many calligraphers gathered in the outer square today.

Especially in the area close to the gate tower of the imperial palace, almost all of them are occupied by bookmakers.

Many people who came to occupy their seats early in the morning suddenly realized this.

"I said why some people came earlier than me, so they are all bookmakers..." A person who was a little bit ahead murmured in a low voice.

When he came, it was just dawn, and the entire Dali Emperor was in silence, most of the people were even still asleep, and he once thought that he was the first one.

But when he came to the square outside the palace, he found that many people had already arrived, and there were quite a few people, almost occupying the entire area near the palace.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that there were people who liked to join in the fun more than himself, but now it seems that these people are all bookmakers.

Everyone wears a pair of simple but clean long gowns, a square scarf on their heads, and many people have a tired look on their faces after a long journey.

"Oh, no wonder they are like this, today is the day to decide their future fate..."

"Looking at it this way, the cancellation of the academy is probably true."

"Is it really necessary to cancel the school? Then where will my child go to study and read?" A rough man suddenly asked.

When he asked, the people around him fell into a strange silence.

Many people muttered to themselves: Yes, without the free school, where will their children learn to read?Of course, some people also thought that after the cancellation of the school, where would their children go to eat and drink?

The Academy is a reading system established by the Dali Dynasty since the establishment of the dynasty. Children under the age of 12, whoever wants to learn to read and write, can go to the Academy to learn for free.

The most important thing is that there will be a meal at noon. It is for this reason that poor families send their children to the school.

But stay at most until you are eight or nine years old and you will not be allowed to go, because in this world, you can go out to be an apprentice or a cowherd at this age, and the value created is much higher than a lunch.

Therefore, in the entire school under the Dali Dynasty, there are basically children under the age of eight, and even babies who have just toddled, basically all of them are from poor families.

As for those who have a little wealth, they either don't read or read at all, or they spend some money to hire a bookmaker to teach at home.

The current school is more like a kindergarten for children, and it has long deviated from the original intention when it was established.But they supported a large number of calligraphers, most of whom relied on the meager salary in the academy to support their families.

But now, the academy is about to be cancelled, and the most affected are those bookmakers who make a living from it.

Therefore, after receiving this news, many bookmakers gathered from all over the country to the Imperial Capital of Dali, and some even did not hesitate to throw away all their wealth.

But after they arrived, they realized that they could do nothing but wait for the final result.

When Jiang Yi appeared in the outer square of the palace, many calligraphers suddenly remembered that the only one who could say a word for them was the King Yi.

This Prince Yi is also the first and only dignitary who is willing to perform rituals like them.

The word "Sir" came from the mouth of Yijun King, and it was the first time that bookmakers like them felt a kind of respect from the heart.

So, almost subconsciously, when Jiang Yi's figure came up to him, all the calligraphers silently bowed and saluted.

Especially in the area close to the imperial palace, there are more than tens of thousands of calligraphers who came from all over the imperial capital of Dali, and all of them bowed in salute.

Some calligraphers once wanted to ask the king of Yijun to advise their calligraphers, but after thinking about the situation the other party was facing, they all silently shut their mouths.

They are already satisfied if they can be called "Sir". How can they let King Yi, who is already insecure, speak up for them, it will only bring more disasters to the other party.

Because they all know that in this situation, silence and forbearance, keeping silent is the best way for King Yi to protect himself wisely.

In this way, Jiang Yi walked all the way in front of everyone's eyes, without any stagnation in his footsteps, nor any expressions or words.As for Ning Donglai, after entering the palace gate, he stopped, as if waiting for Jiang Yi to enter the palace together.

Regarding Jiang Yi's behavior of walking silently all the way and not hearing anything outside the window, he nodded secretly. Being wise and protecting himself is the best way to survive at this time.

Seeing that Jiang Yi had already walked downstairs, Ning Donglai held his long beard in one hand, and wanted to raise the other hand, as if he wanted to wait for Jiang Yi to approach, pat him on the shoulder and then walk into the palace together.

But just as he was about to raise his hand, his expression froze, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Because Jiang Yi stopped suddenly, he stood quietly in front of the gatehouse, and behind him was a crowd of calligraphers bowing and saluting.

"What is he going to do?" Ning Donglai wished he could yell, what time is this, forbearance, forbearance for sure!Don't be in the limelight again.

But in the end he didn't say anything, just watched silently, because he knew that he was not the only one staring at Jiang Yi's every move at this moment.

At this moment in the palace, many pairs of eyes are closely watching every move on the square outside the palace through some kind of formation.

Besides, Jiang Yi stood motionless in front of the gate of the palace at this time, and he was also a little hesitant.

He understood that his best choice at this time was to ignore all this and walk into the palace without looking sideways.However, there is always an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart, especially in the dialogue with Mr. Wen, who is scholarly and inspiring, in the Yinshan world, his heart is even more agitated.

Compared with Mr. Wen's righteousness of abandoning himself and being willing to bow his head like an ox, he is really too small.

With a long sigh, Jiang Yi slowly turned around.

This move of his immediately caused the hearts of many people who were silently paying attention to him to jump, and finally couldn't help it...

But after Jiang Yi turned around, he didn't say anything, just silently looked at the black calligraphers in front of him, and those calligraphers all looked at him motionlessly at this moment.

This is the sound of a bell coming from the palace, which is the bell to remind that the Great Court is about to start.

Hearing the bell, Jiang Yi looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, then bowed and saluted silently.Although there were no words, everyone understood that this ceremony was for all calligraphers.

After that, Jiang Yi didn't stop any longer, turned around and followed Ning Donglai and stepped into the gate of the imperial palace, walking like a dragon and a tiger, showing a sense of desolation on his body.

Behind him, tens of thousands of calligraphers bowed in return. Although Jiang Yi didn't see it, he felt it, and the sense of desolation on his body became heavier.

As for the other people in the outer square, they were all watching this scene silently at this moment, feeling inexplicably touched in their hearts.

There were rumors before that King Yi Jun was a gift to the calligrapher, but it was a rumor after all, and no one saw it with his own eyes.But now, the tens of thousands of people present witnessed it with their own eyes.

Jiang Yi also became the first dignitary to bow down to the calligrapher, and he was also a prestigious county king.Seeing the figure of King Yijun walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, the two 10,000+ people present looked at the bookmaker slightly differently.

This is Jiang Yi's first time participating in the court meeting, and it is also a meeting where the officials of the feudal borders gather.

Originally thought it was held in the Hall of Tingzheng, but unexpectedly it was held in the square outside the Hall of Tingzheng.

The entire square of Tingzheng Hall was also crowded with people at this time, all of them totaled no less than 10 people, but those who could appear in this square were all in official status.

Most of them came from prefectures and prefectures, because whenever a grand court meeting is held, the main officials of the prefectures and other officials in the frontier must participate.

Ning Donglai did not avoid suspicion at all along the way, until he climbed to the wide platform on the dozens of steps of the Tingzheng Hall, then separated from Jiang Yi, and went straight to the top position of the general.

Not only were the mighty generals from various state capitals gathered there, but the other seven army leaders were also in this queue.

Seeing Ning Donglai approaching, many frontier warriors stepped forward to salute, and they were all his former subordinates.

As for Jiang Yi, he went straight to another area, where the royal relatives gathered, Prince Xiang Yi, Jiang Mo, Prince Rui, Jiang Li, Jiang Hai, etc., were all here.

Seeing Jiang Yi coming, several people greeted each other in a friendly manner. As for the others, they either looked at each other coldly, or nodded lightly, so as to maintain a sense of distance.

Prince Yi Jiang Mo wanted to say something, but in the end he just patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder and sighed softly.However, Jiang Yi understood the meaning of the other party's gaze, and it was nothing more than letting him bear it.

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded, and then another bell rang, and the Grand Court officially began.

Great Li Emperor Jiang Zhenyi and Empress Ye Xinmei walked out of the Auditorium Hall hand in hand, and sat straight on two thrones placed side by side.

Then the entire inner square resounded like a tsunami-like three shouts of long live, and everyone knelt down on the ground.This is also the case in the square outside the palace.

"No, let's all get up." Dali Emperor Jiang Zhenyi's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard inside and outside the palace.

After Jiang Yi stood up, he felt a gaze staring at him like a poisonous snake. Jiang Yi knew it was Dali Empress Ye Xinmei without even looking.

Jiang Yi didn't look up, just lowered his head slightly, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

This was also within his expectation, after all, he almost became the nemesis of the Ye family in Bailing. He almost killed the favored son of the younger generation.

Especially Ye Ke's death really hurt the Ye family.

Seemingly sensing the undisguised hatred of his queen, Jiang Zhenyi said directly: "It's been a long time since the Great Court Meeting was held, before we start discussing matters again, can all the ministers make a statement?"

The entire inner light, including the platform on the steps, was completely silent, and no one came forward to make a statement.

Jiang Zhenyi nodded and said with a smile: "Since there is nothing to report, let's start the first schedule over there." After speaking, he nodded to a eunuch beside him. Pang Xuan who had been guarding in front of Duan Wang's mansion for two years.

After receiving the instruction, Pang Xuan gently stepped up to the front half of his body, and announced: "The first item in today's court meeting, Prince Ciyi County Prince Jiangyi, promoted to Prince Yi!" After Xuan finished drinking, he bowed and knelt back.

Hearing this content, there was a buzz of discussion under the imperial platform.

However, many people seemed to have expected it long ago, and they did not show any surprise. At that time, there was a series of joyful discussions from the outer square outside the palace, and many of them were bookmakers.

Because of this, a group of people became the focus. The leaders were several beautiful maidservants with their own merits. In particular, the four quadruplets who had already faintly looked slim were particularly eye-catching. They were people from Yi Wang's mansion.

The others were fine, whether they knew what it meant or not, they all had a calm demeanor, but there was one person who straightened his fair neck like a swan, and it was Tuo Xiaoliu.

This move of hers caused the quadruplets beside her to look at each other, and they lowered their heads with a wry smile, as if they were quite helpless to have such an old lady.

Then the four of them were pointed to the forehead by the camel Xiaoliuyi. Although she was trembling with fear in front of Jiang Yi, she was still very strong in front of the four daughters.

"Do you have any objections to this?" Jiang Zhenyi's voice came from the entire palace.

"I have objections!"

Suddenly a voice came out, and everyone's expressions changed, because it was Jiang Yi, who was about to be promoted to Prince, who raised the objection.
