Chapter 402 Trouble
As soon as the colored silk that had been hung up in the Prince's Mansion was removed, many people came outside the door.

These people are all residents of the capital, and they spontaneously organized to come to meet the next emperor, the current crown prince of An Dynasty.

Ouyang Zhi walked out of the Prince's Mansion calmly, stood at the door and said to the common people: "Your elders are invited, the Prince just went out just now, and now he is not in the mansion."

The prince is not in the mansion?

The common people peeped at each other, with expressions of doubt and disappointment on their faces.

After whispering to each other, one of the old men asked Ouyang Zhi: "My lord, this prince is newly established today. Everyone wants to see the prince's demeanor, why is he not in the mansion?"

Ouyang Zhi sighed: "Ah... the prince is very filial, and when he heard that the emperor was ill again, he went to Xiangguo Temple to recite scriptures and Buddha, and pray for my emperor!"

To pray for the emperor?

The people who came to the prince's mansion were relieved when they heard the words. Anchao advocated the way of saints, respected Confucianism, and paid attention to: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, among which loyalty to the emperor and patriotism ranked first. First, the second is filial piety!

It is naturally a blessing for the world that the prince has such filial piety, so the common people are also happy.

Good prince!Originally, today is the day when the crown prince is crowned in the East Palace. The ceremony has not even started yet, but the crown prince is willing to avoid the limelight and go to pray for the emperor. Isn’t this a good prince?
Ouyang Zhi said again: "The crown prince has ordered everything to be kept simple. Today's ceremony will be skipped. All folks, please go back!"

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Zhi turned around triumphantly and walked into the Prince's Mansion, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

As expected of Mr. Shi!It's a beautiful move, but...

The moment Ouyang Zhi walked into the Prince's Mansion, he heard the voices of the people in his ears.

"Everyone, it is really a blessing for the country that the prince is so benevolent and righteous! This prince is unwilling to meet all of us for the sake of the emperor, but we all can go to Xiangguo Temple to ask for an audience. Do you think so?"

"well said……"

"Yes!"

"If you say go, let's go..."

"..."

Ouyang Zhi's face was frightened by the words of the common people, and a group of muddy horses galloped past in his heart for a moment, thinking: These common people, isn't this adding to the chaos?
You go to Xiangguo Temple together. With a scale of several thousand, how can the safety of the crown prince be guaranteed?
Besides, the prince went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the emperor, this is filial piety!You common people have followed, and if the scene becomes big, it will become a show!
Also, the emperor is not dead yet, and your people respect the prince so highly, what will the emperor think?
The more Ouyang Zhi thought about it, the more afraid he became, what should he do now?
The people had already started to leave, and Ouyang Zhi couldn't stop it alone!

No way, the person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell!
Ouyang Zhi told the people in the Prince's Mansion, "I will come as soon as I go", then hurriedly led a horse, ran towards the palace, and finally stopped Ji Ping and Cao Gang who had just got off their sedan chairs at the gate of the palace. and Shi Zhongyuan.

"So it's the number one scholar!" Ji Ping chuckled at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi got off the horse, he didn't care about the promise and courtesy, so he said to Shi Zhongyuan: "Master Shi, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter?" Shi Zhongyuan frowned.

Ouyang Zhi said: "Lord Shi, the common people were very excited when they heard that the crown prince prayed for the emperor, and then spontaneously organized, everyone went to Xiangguo Temple to pay respects to the crown prince!"

"Ah?" Shi Zhongyuan didn't expect it. After being surprised, he immediately calmed down. After all, he was a person who had been in court for decades. After calming down, Shi Zhongyuan asked Ouyang Zhi: "How many people are there?"

"More than 2000 people!" Ouyang Zhi reported a terrifying number.

There are more than 2000 people, which is not much, but if they really want to gather, I am afraid that Xiangguo Temple can be demolished!
Shi Zhongyuan's expression changed, and he said to Ji Ping and Cao Gang: "My lords, I'm afraid I can't enter the palace now!"

Ji Ping also nodded, and then said: "I don't want Mr. Shi to make a fuss, but it's my trouble!"

Although the behavior of the common people was beyond everyone's expectations, it also showed the common people's love for the prince. Ji Ping and his group of veterans watched Zhao Ziji grow up, so they were naturally happy for Zhao Ziji. Just kidding!

Shi Zhongyu shook his head and said: "Unexpected! How about this, Mr. Cao, please go to the Nine Gate Admiral's Yamen as soon as possible, let them block the city gate, and don't let the people go out of the city!"

Cao Gang nodded and said, "That's all!"

So, Cao Gang rode Ouyang Zhi's horse, and then went to the Yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

Ouyang Zhi, Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan rushed to the gate of the city to stop the people.

The people's enthusiasm for the prince's worship has risen, how can it be so easy to dispel?

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Xiang Zha, the new admiral of the Nine Gates, leading the messengers. Although they blocked the way of the people, the people did not go back, but were arguing with Xiang Zha.

As for Cao Gang, he stood on the side with a blank expression, waiting for the arrival of Ji Ping and the others.

Under the guard of the soldiers, Ji Ping, Shi Zhongyuan and Ouyang Zhi came to the gate of the city. Ji Ping was the Chief Assistant and Shi Zhongyuan was the Deputy Prime Minister. Naturally, Ji Ping spoke.

Ji Ping was in a good mood now, and was happy for Zhao Ziji, so he clasped his fists to the people and said, "Fellow folks, have you ever known a subordinate official?"

The people naturally knew the new chief minister of the imperial court, so they shouted in uneven voices: "My lord!"

Ji Ping nodded and said loudly: "Everyone, the most important thing is sincerity when the prince goes to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the emperor. It is to make the prince unfilial! So, everyone, please go back!"

As expected of Ji Ping, his words were so impeccable that the common people had no way to defend themselves.

After a moment of silence, these lovely aborigines in the capital all had disappointed expressions on their faces. They seemed to have obeyed Ji Ping's words and gave up the idea of ​​going to Xiangguo Temple.

However, none of the people was willing to leave first. Everyone stood there in a daze, looking out of the city gate from time to time!
Seeing this, Ji Ping looked back at Shi Zhongyuan, and Shi Zhongyuan shook his head, expressing that he had no choice!

As a result, the city gate was blocked by the people for a while, and the streets were surrounded by dense crowds of people, and the number of people even increased. Many of them saw the people gathering together and found out that everyone was waiting for the prince. After returning to the city, he also joined the crowd waiting for the prince to return to Beijing!
This scene amazed the well-informed three court ministers Ji Ping, Cao Gang, Shi Zhongyuan, and the new top scholar and guest of the crown prince, Ouyang Zhi!
