The cultural gathering was held in Luhu of the Imperial City. Pergola was built on the lakeside, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
The late summer sun was still scorching, but the lakeside was cool.
The cultural gathering was originally organized by the Imperial College, and most of the participants were students from the Imperial College.
However, with PEI man Xi Lou stirring up such a huge commotion, the people who attended the cultural gathering were immediately different. Imperial College students could still participate, but they were at the outer perimeter and could not enter the pergola.
The Civil assembly was held at noon, so the officials could use the two hours of rest time to openly participate.
As noon approached, the Imperial Censorate students, dressed in Confucian robes and crowns, were stopped at the periphery by the heavily armed Imperial Army.
“This is a cultural gathering organized by our Directorate, why can’t we enter?” “How can the relationship between the host and the guest be reversed?”
“Not only are the Imperial Army controlling the scene, even the astrologers are here to prevent people with ill intentions from sneaking into the cultural gathering. Could it be that Your Majesty is going to participate in the cultural gathering?”
As they were talking, a carriage came and stopped at the square outside of Lu Lake. From the carriage came out many nobles and generals.
They should have had nothing to do with the cultural gathering. They had all come for the words “to learn from The Art of War.”
Not only had they come, but they had also brought their women and children.
“Look, the ministers are here, the ministers of the six ministries, the assistant ministers, the Grand scholar of the palace …”
“I guessed that some important figures would come, but I didn’t expect so many to come. It’s just a cultural gathering, why would it need to be like this?”
“Brother, you don’t understand. It’s naturally impossible for a cultural gathering to happen, but behind this cultural gathering is still a matter of negotiation. There were no trivial matters between the two countries. You’re here to create pressure.”
“A mere barbarian dares to come to the capital to discuss Dao. He doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Let’s see how Zhang Shen teaches him a lesson later.’
After the generals, there were the officials of the Imperial court who were third rank and above, such as the Minister of Justice, the Minister of War, and the Grand scholars of the palace.
Some of the bigwigs in the court also brought their female family members, such as the well-known Wang simu. She was wearing a light pink dress, with exquisite makeup and a dignified and beautiful appearance.
the noble from the Hanlin Academy is here too. Interesting, this group of scholars claim to be unparalleled in knowledge. They will definitely attack peman west tower later … The eyes of the Directorate lit up.
A group of young officials in green robes entered the venue with their heads held high.
The Hanlin Academy was a place where the top students gathered. Although this group of noble people had no power in their hands and were young, they were definitely one of the most knowledgeable groups in Da Feng.
They were at the prime of their lives, and their memory, comprehension, and sharp thinking were all at the peak of their lives.
With their entrance, the confidence of the Directorate’s students doubled.
After the nobles of the Hanlin Academy took their seats, they conversed in low voices.
