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?"
