Chapter 506: In the 461st - , having an elder is like having a treasure in the family
"Marquis, this is a letter from the Capital City!"
Just as he entered the mansion, Wu Hai approached with a letter in hand.
"From the Capital City!"
Yang Zhenshan took the letter and began to read.
The letter was sent by Wu Zheng and contained details of some major events that had occurred recently at court.
After a quick glance at the content, Yang Zhenshan’s expression immediately turned solemn. He walked quickly into his study, sat at his desk, and read carefully.
Recently, numerous incidents had occurred in the Capital City. Firstly, Nansheng, commanding the Imperial Guard Department, had been arresting people within the city for spreading malicious rumors.
Anyone within the Capital City who dared to claim ’the new Emperor is without virtue, bringing chaos to the world’ would be arrested by the Imperial Guard Department.
In less than ten days, the Imperial Guard Department had arrested over a thousand people, among whom were several Imperial College students and court officials.
As a result, the court was in turmoil, with many ministers submitting petitions to impeach Nansheng.
But these were just minor issues. The real trouble came when the Imperial Guard Department tried to apprehend a student from the Imperial College, and Yi Lishen, instructor of the Imperial College, was seized for obstructing them and imprisoned by the Secret Martial Guard Station Command.
