There are two Duke Yansheng residences in the Great Ming Dynasty. One is in Qufu, Shandong, while the other is located next to the Court of Imperial Entertainments in the Capital.
Students from the anti-Kong faction began to leave the Imperial Academy in groups, heading toward the Duke Yansheng residence to demand justice and an explanation. Although the Duke Yansheng was not in the Capital, that did not stop the students from using that location to stir up public opinion. They knew clearly that they had to make a scene; the more people who knew about this, the more supporters they would gain. The more people involved, the louder their voices would be, and the more favorable the public sentiment would become for their cause. Their chances of bringing down the Duke Yansheng would grow accordingly.
The pro-Kong faction understood this logic just as clearly as their rivals. Seeing the anti-Kong students leave, the pro-Kong students exchanged glances and quickly followed.
