Chapter 344 State Guest House

The magnificent State Guesthouse, which demonstrates the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty in the south of Lin'an City, has now become a vegetable market. Countless crowds are crowded in front of the high and wealthy archway of the State Guesthouse, cursing and shouting something.

A large number of soldiers in front of the hall, wearing strong and sharp-stricken soldiers surrounded the huge State Guesthouse. Faced with the constant cursing and even rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves suddenly flew out of the crowd from time to time and fell on the head and face, most of them chose to hold the weapons in their hands and quietly lower their heads.

It is hard to imagine that the soldiers in front of the hall, who were still like wolves and tigers in Lin'an City not long ago, could endure these provocative people quietly until now without any action.

However, looking at the people who are mostly wearing Confucian robes, and occasionally figures in soapy Confucian robes flashing in the crowd, it seems that it is not difficult to think about why the soldiers from the front office of the palace were so enduring.

The rushing sedan chairs and a large number of soldiers from the front office who followed the palace finally made the outside of the State Guesthouse much quieter for the time being.

After the soldiers from the front office of the Palace Department, Liu Xiang, who was the first to take the lead, knew many scholars present. Before that, Liu Xiang, as the commander of the Palace Department, personally came forward more than once to persuade the students of the Imperial College and the scholars from other places to not attack the State Guesthouse and not provoke the Mongolians at the critical moment of the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, so he was familiar with these scholars who were already filled with patriotism.

"It's Commander Liu..."

"So what about Commander Liu? The emperor said he would not commit crimes for writing words, let alone we just hope to drive the Mongolian envoy out of Lin'an City..."

"My brother is right. We want the court to know and the Mongolians know that I, the Song people, still have passionate men..."

"Hey, brother, who do you think is sitting in that sedan?"

"I guess they are the adults of the Ministry of Rites. I didn't see Commander Liu waiting by the sedan chair..."

"The masters of the Ministry of Rites came just in time. We must ask the adults of the Ministry of Rites to tell the emperor about our petition and drive the Mongolians out of Lin'an City!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"I went to find the adults of the Ministry of Rites to petition. The Mongolian envoys teased the female family members from various countries in the Grand Song State Hotel. They really didn't take my Grand Song seriously and were determined to drive these barbarians out of Lin'an City..."

...

The silence lasted for only a moment, and all kinds of miscellaneous discussions suddenly became even louder than before. The crowds that were originally gathered at the gate of the State Guesthouse began to rush towards the parking space of Jia Sidao.

"Sir, they are all scholars. It seems that they have to surround their sedan chairs. Why don't you change the road to the State Guesthouse?"

While Liu Xiang ordered the soldiers in front of the hall to follow him to surround Jia Sidao's sedan chair in the middle to avoid being hit by those ignorant scholars, he bowed in front of the curtain and whispered.

Even if Liu Xiang didn't say it, Jia Sidao had already heard the noise outside the sedan chair. The comments from the scholars outside did not lower their voices. Why did the envoys of the four countries in the State Guesthouse fight? However, Jia Sidao did not say that it was okay and blamed all the faults on the Mongols. After all, the Mongolian envoys were the first to come to Lin'an City. For such a long time, no matter whether the Mongols won or lost on the front battlefield, although the Mongols were sometimes domineering, they were still abide by etiquette and law. When the envoys of the other Three Kingdoms came, they were exaggerated to tease the female relatives in the envoys?

"Captain Liu, the Commander-in-Chief of Liang, sent someone to inform me?"

Jia Sidao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, the general has sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to invite Mr. Liang to come. Now he must be on the way. Sir..."

"It's okay, these scholars are in a passionate manner and have a scheming of their hearts, so that such a situation will occur. You order the soldiers in the front hall not to act more politely, so as not to escalate the situation."

Jia Sidao naturally knew that Liu Xiang wanted him to enter the State Guesthouse with another door, but he did not intend to do so.

As he was speaking, the big wave of scholars had already flocked to Jia Sidao's sedan chair. If it weren't for the soldiers from the front office of the Palace, they would have rushed to Jia Sidao's sedan chair at this moment.

When Liu Xiang heard Jia Sidao's words, he smiled bitterly. Look at the soldiers in front of the State Guesthouse with rotten eggs and rotten vegetables on their faces. Where are they unpolite? It is clearly those scholars who are bullying us, okay?

"I wonder which of the lords from the Ministry of Rites came here? Please make the decision for us. Please ask the emperor and general to drive out the Mongolian barbarians who teased the female envoys of other countries from Lin'an City!"

Seeing that the soldiers in front of the hall blocked the sedan chair and could not get close to the sedan chair, the scholars had to shout loudly to the sedan chair.

"Don't be clamoring, please don't be clamoring, Master Jia, the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, is here."

Liu Xiang's loud shout was obviously not as good as the scholars outside the sedan chair who were constantly shouting, but in the end, some people who were close to him heard Liu Xiang's loud shout.

"Mr. Jia, the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall?"

"Which Lord Jia?"

“…”

These words are exchanged for the idiot-like eyes of the person next to him.

"Which Lord Jia do you talk about? Do you have any other Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall in the Song Dynasty now?"

"Ah? It's him!"

"Mr. Jia is here! Mr. Jia is here!"

The news of Jia Sidao's arrival soon reached the ears of the scholars who were rushing in. Unconsciously, the noise around him gradually lowered until the huge street was silent.

The dozens of students wearing Imperial College clothes who had been traveling through the scholars in the crowd became a little panicked for no reason. Several figures turned to each other and quietly disappeared in the alleys on the street while the chaos was in the chaos. They disappeared in a short while.

Seeing the scholars around him suddenly became quiet and with fiery eyes, Liu Xiang felt helpless. He had not dealt with these scholars who were incomprehensible to fight and touch each other once or twice. He did not say anything but spitting without any effect? ​​He even said too much and was scolded by these scholars, but now? Jia Sidaoist has not appeared yet. He just announced his name and let these scholars do this. It is really impossible to compare between people.

But then I thought about Li Mingfu, Qiao Xingjian and other senior officials who were defeated by Jia Sidao, and Liu Xiang's heart suddenly became a little balanced. For example, Qiao Xingjian and Li Mingfu were all overshadowed in front of this young royal relative. What can he do?

Liu Xiang was still lost his mind, and Jia Sidao had already lifted the curtain and walked out.
