The king behind the empress

Chapter 9 The Scholar Who Blocks the Way

As the King of Zizai, Mo Zizai naturally didn't need to line up to be searched when entering the city gate. After Chen Ying revealed Mo Zizai's identity to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper immediately cleared a passage for Mo Zizai to go first.

"King of freedom."

Seeing Mo Zizai's chariot going away, the gatekeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, and after watching for a while, he beckoned to a subordinate and whispered something in his ear, the subordinate nodded in understanding, and then spoke with utmost respect. He quickly left the city gate and headed for the inner city.

The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty was called Tianjing. It had twelve city gates and six main roads, three horizontal and three vertical, which neatly divided Tianjing into sixteen regions.

The city gate that Mo Zizai and the others passed just now is called Tianqi Gate. If you want to enter the palace from Tianqi Gate, you must pass through the most prosperous Suzaku Street in Tianjing.

When passing by here, Mo Zizai could not help but sigh slightly in his heart as he looked at the scene that was obviously a bit more depressed than three years ago.

Even Tianjing, the heart of Dazhou, is a bit depressed, and one can imagine what will happen in other places.

"It seems that the sun is really setting in Da Zhou."

Thinking of the little girl who is struggling to support this dilapidated country in the palace now, Mo Zizai feels a little uncomfortable. It is too unfair for her to add such a heavy burden.

"Who are you? How dare you stop the prince's car!"

Just when Mo Zizai was in a daze, he suddenly felt like Ren stopped, and then he heard Chen Ying's sharp voice scolding.

"What happened ahead?"

Mo Zizai couldn't see clearly because there were guards blocking him, so he asked Zhou Qi in front of him.

"I don't know."

Zhou Qi shook his head and said: "It seems that a scholar is blocking the way. Chen Ying should be able to handle it. Your Highness, don't worry."

It seemed to be to slap Zhou Qi in the face. As soon as Zhou Qi finished speaking, he heard a clear voice, "Student came to greet me, isn't senior brother even willing to meet?"

"Or, it's senior brother, you dare not see me?"

The scholar intentionally raised his voice, and the voice clearly reached Mo Zizai.

"It seems that Chen Ying can't handle it."

Mo Zizai smiled playfully. He didn't expect that just after he returned to the capital, someone would come to make trouble, and it was his junior who came out of nowhere. He wanted to take a look. These people prepared for him what show.

"Chen Ying, let him come over."

Not long after Chen Ying finished speaking, Chen Ying walked over with a scholar in green robes.

"Your Highness, this scholar stopped in front of the driver, and the servant wanted to drive away..."

"Okay, needless to say."

Mo Zizai interrupted Chen Ying, looked at the scholar, and asked, "You said that this king is your senior brother, why doesn't this king know you?"

"Shu Minghao, a student of the Imperial College, studied under Yang Xian and became a great Confucian. He came from the same school as Wang Ye, so he is called Wang Ye Senior Brother."

Shu Minghao saluted Mo Zizai respectfully, and he couldn't find any faults in his attitude.

"Yang Xiancheng?"

Mo Zizai thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Oh, I remembered, the old master whose leg was broken by this king."

Yang Xiancheng was the teacher who taught Mo Zizai in the early years, but when he was teaching Mo Zizai, he always brought in private goods, and all of them were contrary to the reforms carried out by Mo Zizai's father.

This caused Mo Zizai, who seldom saw his father, to be scolded every time he met his father. Over time, Mo Zizai realized that something was wrong, and felt disgusted with this master.

The last thing that made Mo Zizai explode was that once the empress, that girl Tang Weiyi came to play with Mo Zizai, but the old master used his own identity to say that Tang Weiyi disturbed Mo Zizai because of his old grievances with Tang Shuyu. Tang Weiyi has to be punished for her learning spirit.

This is not bad, you must know that Tang Weiyi was Mo Zizai's back then, so Mo Zizai immediately exploded.

With a knife, he forced two guards to hold Yang Xiancheng down, and then broke Yang Xiancheng's leg with his own hands. While beating him, he asked, "Who are you going to punish? Who are you? How old are you?" Does the mother not want to live anymore?"

Although Mo Zizai was severely punished for this incident afterwards, Mo Zizai never regretted breaking the old man's leg.

Hearing Mo Zizai's downplaying tone, several veins popped up on Shu Minghao's forehead instantly.

"Mo Zizai, Mr. Yang is your mentor, you actually broke his legs, do you still have human relations and five constants in your eyes?"

Shu Minghao pointed at Mo Zizai, and glared at him, "Not only that, you have no intention of repenting even now, you are so useless!!!"

"Ok?"

Mo Zizai frowned slightly, and looked at Shu Minghao who was in front of his chariot with some doubts, "Is this, looking for death?"

Looking at Shu Minghao who was wearing a green shirt and scolding Shu Minghao non-stop, Mo Zizai was very sure that the person in front of him was deliberately trying to provoke him, so what was his purpose?

Mo Zizai calmed down, his brain spinning rapidly.

Enraged himself, nothing more than two results, the first one killed him in a fit of anger.

second……

Well, there is no second, according to my previous temper, I would definitely kill him on the spot.

So, this Shu Minghao is here to ask for death?
Wait a minute, he said just now that he is a supervisor of the Imperial College?
Thinking of this, Mo Zizai instantly understood.

Guozijian is the highest institution of higher education in Dazhou, which is equivalent to the university of Mo Zizai's previous life, but it is the only one in the whole country.

A place like Guozijian has cultivated many talents, but it has also cultivated many hard-headed and heartless people.

For example, the person in front of me is a typical top-notch and heartless.

The reason why he is said to be ironic is because this guy is indeed looking for death, or begging for death.

Because of justified reasons, scolding the innocent king in the street, even if he dies, he can still leave his name in history. This is what some unsatisfied scholars in the Imperial College yearn for most.

Of course, Mo Zizai is not a king, but he is almost a prince, and it is enough to make him famous in history.

And the reason why he is short-sighted is because this guy is probably used as a gun.

He is a scholar, how could he know his whereabouts, someone must have notified him, and tried his best to encourage him to come.

Moreover, judging from Shu Minghao's passionate demeanor, the person who used him as the gunman must have told him a lot, such as that his position as the prince has been abolished, he is just a prince without real power, and he is not to be seen by the empress. I definitely dare not kill people or something like that.

Even, that person probably promised Shu Minghao that if he dared to do something, that person would show up immediately to save Shu Minghao, otherwise Shu Minghao wouldn't be so confident.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Mo Zizai looked at Shu Minghao who was cursing nonstop in front of him, with a smile on his face, he never expected that someone would give him a difficult problem when he first arrived in the capital.

"Sending a strong-headed scholar to disgust me, the method is not clever, but it is very useful."

"but……"

The smile on Mo Zizai's face grew brighter, revealing his white teeth, "I'm not what I used to be, it's too childish to fight and kill."

"I'll let you know what fear is."

　Hey, the new writing is so slow, I feel like I can't get up fast.
