Chapter 1948

Huang Zhizhan's roar almost tore his throat.

The roar of the Han Lin scholars gathered into a destructive torrent, the sound rushing straight to the clouds.

"Prime Minister Gao's grace, at the time of Changancheng's crisis, supported Great Qian when it was about to collapse, turned the tide, created gunpowder, brewed strong wine, and killed the Great Chu's one hundred thousand wolf cavalry! This grace is as towering as a mountain—can it be forgotten!"

This time, it was no longer just the scholars responding to him!

Those scholars from humble backgrounds who were able to afford books because of the birth of bamboo paper, those ordinary people who had experienced the defense of Changancheng, could no longer suppress the surging in their chests, and the sporadic roars at the beginning gradually gathered into a piece!

Their eye sockets were already red!

Chi Potian suddenly paused the "Holy Weapon" in his hand heavily!

Pfft—!

The thick golden liquid splashed in all directions, and that indescribable "fragrance" instantly became several times more intense!

"Indeed!"

Chi Potian's voice was filled with grief and indignation, carrying a determination that tore through the firmament.

"Such unparalleled merit! Such clear virtue! Such cold righteousness! Such towering grace! Actually suffered from the framing of petty people, rumors and gossip are rampant, blinding the imperial hearing, wanting to make his achievements covered in dust, making the loyal and good feel cold!"

"This is so heartbreaking!"

"The price of bamboo paper can be cheap, but human hearts cannot be cheap!"

"Achievements can be covered in dust, but justice cannot be extinguished!"

"Today, I, Chi Potian, will use this filth as a signal, use this broken body as a shield, to petition for Prime Minister Gao, to petition for the bright justice, to cleanse the haze for this Changancheng, and return it to clarity!"

He turned around suddenly, facing the direction of the imperial palace, the mop dripping with golden juice in his hand pointing straight at the flying eaves of the towering palace.

"Han Lin scholars! Elders of Changancheng! People of insight in the world!"

"Gentlemen! Dare to follow me—"

"To step through this Zhu Que Street and knock on the palace gate!"

"Hold this 'Mirror of Righteousness' and cleanse the universe!"

"With the blood of our generation, light a bright lamp to illuminate the dark night of Changancheng!"

Rumble!

The volcano that had been accumulating for a long time finally erupted!

Zhu Que Street, like a powder keg that had been ignited, instantly boiled!

"Dare!"

"Dare! Dare! Dare!"

Huang Zhizhan was the first to roar and rush forward, standing side by side with Chi Potian, his eyes red as blood.

Chen Wanjuan and Lin Shuhan followed closely, and all the Han Lin scholars had no more hesitation, like a breached torrent, emitting a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

"Hold the Mirror of Righteousness and cleanse the universe! Step through Zhu Que and knock on the palace gate!"

The crowd... was completely boiling!

Like dry grass meeting fire, like a pot entering boiling oil!

These past few days, there were too many rumors in Changancheng.

This made the people, who didn't know why Gao Yang resigned, feel a thorough heartbreak.

Therefore, they were angry.

They were silent.

Public opinion, they didn't know if it was true or false.

Those slanders, they were also hard to distinguish.

But what Gao Yang did was an iron-clad fact.

Achievements, no one can erase!

Because justice is in the hearts of the people!

The pent-up anger,

At this moment, suddenly erupted!

"Well said! Prime Minister Gao is wronged!"

"Bamboo paper is cheap, so my child can read and write; I believe in Prime Minister Gao, there must be treacherous officials at work in this!"

"That's right, it must be that Cui Xinghe; this bastard doesn't look like a good thing at all, he looks like a human face with a beast's heart, he must have made trouble in secret!"

"We cannot let them chill the hearts of the meritorious officials!"

"Follow along! Let's go together!"

"Seek justice for Prime Minister Gao!"

For a time.

On Zhu Que Street.

There were down-and-out scholars joining the team, indignant craftsmen putting down their work, and even old people squeezed to the side of the road, following behind the crowd tremblingly.

At this moment, fear was receding, and the suppressed truth and justice were awakened by Chi Potian's shocking actions and his declaration to burn everything!

The surging crowd, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, spontaneously surrounded this petition team led by a madman, rolling along the wide Zhu Que Street toward the direction of the imperial city!

Footsteps, slogans, discussions, exclamations... gradually gathered into a huge sound wave that shook the entire Changancheng!

Inside the restaurant.

A pockmarked face panted heavily and rushed in.

He said to everyone, "Brothers, stop drinking, someone is petitioning for Prime Minister Gao, saying that the public opinion in Changancheng these past few days is all slander! I want to go with them and petition for Prime Minister Gao!"

"What?"

"There is such a thing? Prime Minister Gao's merit, who can erase it? I will go too!"

"Go together!"

Several big men put down the wine bowls in their hands, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the restaurant in large strides.

Brothel.

"Prostitution?"

"Who the hell is still thinking about that? Go! Let's go petition for Prime Minister Gao!"

Several young masters with pale faces and extremely weak bodies walked together and joined the righteous long line.

At this moment.

The ground was shaking, the air was burning, and human hearts were surging!

Chi Potian, this number one fierce person in the Han Lin Academy, held the "Golden Holy Weapon," like a war god clearing the way, leading this torrent composed of anger, justice, and hot blood.

His gaze was determined, and the corners of his mouth even curled up in an arc that was almost crazy.

"If the sky is covered in dust, I will pierce it!"

"If the road has thorns, this thing will sweep them away!"

"My name is Chi Potian!"

"..."
