Someone began to voice grievances for the Minister's Mansion, claiming Ji Youzhi didn't have the authority.
"Everyone, refrain from making such judgments hastily; there's something amiss here!"
Dr. Xu is not senile; he has taught at the Imperial College for many years and can see through things.
"What exactly do you mean, Dr. Xu?"
Someone quickly asked.
"In the morning, the place was surrounded but not moved upon. Minister Lu didn't show up, nor did anyone hear why Ji Youzhi had surrounded the Minister's Mansion. What does that tell us?"
"Isn't it said that Minister Lu has been in the Palace, handpicked by His Majesty to jointly oversee the scholars' examinations?"
"His Majesty's actions are quite odd!"
Xu Zheng only said this much, and when others asked more, he was unwilling to say anything further.
This led people to speculate whether it was all directed by His Majesty.
The students from the Imperial College hurried home, hoping to get a glimpse of the court's uproar.
