Chapter 1008 The Human Heart

"Your Highness, it might be good to go and see. We will wait here!"

Hearing Shuangxi's words, Wang Xiang immediately lowered his voice and said.

"May I trouble Prime Minister Fan to accompany us?"

As Shuangxi spoke, he hurriedly bowed to Fan Zhengguo.

"Since Grand Commandant Liang has something to say, I will go with His Highness!"

After exchanging a look with Zhao Zhen, Fan Zhengguo also stood up directly.

"Elder General Zhong, Master Wang, I will trouble you to wait here!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will wait here. If anything happens, Your Highness need only call out!"

Looking up in the direction of Xuande Gate, Zhong Shidao nodded directly.

Since they had decided to sit here, they could only advance and retreat together now.

Fortunately, no matter what, Zhao Zhen had made great contributions. Even if Zhao Ji, the emperor, was as foolish as he was, he should not do anything to Zhao Zhen at this time.

After nodding silently, Zhao Zhen and Fan Zhengguo walked towards the palace gate one after another.

The two of them unanimously chose to ignore Zhang Bangchang, who was standing opposite them.

At this moment, Zhang Bangchang was truly embarrassed. He was the Shaozai on the spot, yet he was treated as if he were air. He felt extremely dejected.

"Grand Commandant Liang, what is this?"

When Fan Zhengguo and Zhao Zhen entered Xuande Gate together, they were both startled by Liang Shicheng's appearance as soon as they entered.

"I said a few too many words in the hall just now, which displeased His Majesty, so..."

Liang Shicheng said this with a wry smile on his face.

"Zhao Zhen will never forget the deep kindness of Grand Commandant!"

After hearing Liang Shicheng's words, Zhao Zhen bowed deeply to Liang Shicheng without hesitation.

At this moment, what else could he have said a few too many words about? It must have been to plead on his behalf...

"Your Highness is too kind. It's just that what Your Highness did was a bit reckless. How can His Majesty salvage his position after you did this? Xuande Gate is not a place to talk. Could Prime Minister Fan mediate and select one or two representatives from among the students to accompany everyone into the hall, while the rest return?"

Looking at the blood dripping from Liang Shicheng's face, even Fan Zhengguo found it difficult to say anything more.

He was a man of utmost sincerity. Seeing that someone had suffered so much to help them, even if he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he could only agree for now.

"Let's do as Grand Commandant says. I will go out and discuss it with them now, but..."

Fan Zhengguo felt a little embarrassed to continue speaking, but Liang Shicheng immediately understood his meaning.

"Prime Minister, please rest assured. No matter how angry His Majesty is, he will not hold it against these students. However, Prime Minister must also understand that if they cannot clearly explain the cause and effect, they may suffer some hardship!"

Liang Shicheng naturally understood that Fan Zhengguo was worried that the emperor would kill the student representatives. After all, beating and killing so many students was entirely different from killing one or two!

"Grand Commandant is referring to that memorial? Is that thing real?"

With Fan Zhengguo's intelligence, he naturally understood what Liang Shicheng was saying.

Hearing his question, Liang Shicheng paused for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

These students were too bold. It was one thing for them to get their hands on such a thing and know its contents.

To directly reveal the matter of this letter in front of so many people.

One must know that this was something the emperor had just ordered to be sealed. The paste on the seal was not yet dry, and the item had already fallen into their hands, which was clearly slapping the emperor in the face.

On such matters, even Liang Shicheng could not help them much...

"This... if necessary, please ask Grand Commandant to spare their lives!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Fan Zhengguo could only smile wryly and cup his hands towards Liang Shicheng.

At this moment, all he could do was hope that this matter was part of Han Mo's plan, otherwise, someone would probably die today!

"I can only do my best. Please trouble Your Highness and Prime Minister to lead these people to prepare to enter the hall! I will go and treat my head injury first, and then I will be right there!"

"Grand Commandant, please take your time!"

Looking at the white cloth on Liang Shicheng's head that was still bleeding, neither Zhao Zhen nor Fan Zhengguo could say any more. They could only cup their hands at him.

"His Majesty has decreed that one or two of you shall be chosen, so let us enter the hall to speak!"

After bidding farewell to Liang Shicheng, Fan Zhengguo and Zhao Zhen returned to the front of the crowd of imperial students.

"My fellow seniors, since I initiated this matter, I should be the one to go now. Please wait outside!"

After Fan Zhengguo finished speaking, Chen Dong stepped forward without hesitation.

After all, he understood the consequences of this risky petition better than anyone else.

Even if the emperor did not hold a grudge in his heart, when it came to the imperial court, there would inevitably be a battle of wits and tongues with the great figures in the court.

Even if, in the end, those great figures could not openly attack them and could only endure it grudgingly, they would still remember it in their hearts.

The more famous one became at this time, the more difficult the road ahead would be. Therefore, Chen Dong directly stood in front of everyone without hesitation.

"Brother Chen, what are you saying? Although you initiated it, this matter was decided by all of us. At this moment, how can you take all the credit alone?"

"That's right, that's right! If we go, we go together!"

These imperial students were all in their early twenties at the oldest, and they were all hot-blooded. After listening to Chen Dong's words, more than a dozen people sitting at the front of the crowd immediately stood up together.

"Alright, arguing logically in the imperial hall will not require so many of you. One person is enough. You all wait outside!"

After casting a deep look at the imperial students, Fan Zhengguo directly stopped them.

At least in his opinion, these people were all capable of great things. Sacrificing one Chen Dong had already made him heartbroken, and there was no need to drag so many people down with him.

"Rest assured, nothing will happen! As long as you have a clear conscience, I, this prince, will bear all the consequences for you!"

This was a good opportunity to win people's hearts. Zhao Zhen immediately took on all the responsibility.

"Our Prince Xin has really grown up fast. However, isn't he a bit too greedy..."

Looking at Zhao Zhen's spirited appearance, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Han Mo's mouth.
