Chapter 884: The Theory of the Crowd
Gao Huai, Xiao Shengguang was dumbfounded when he watched it from the side, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, what is this?
This is a joint letter signed by officials from the entire Henan province!
Not long ago, these people were almost arrested by the Son of Heaven for greedy ink, but why were they able to ask for the people's lives so quickly?
This is something that no one expected, and the Henan officials who discussed King Lu's vassal will eventually evolve into Ma Yu being killed, and all Henan officials impeaching Ma Yu, and asking King Lu to follow the matter of the domain.
There are earth-shattering changes in the second hall, but the people outside the hall know nothing.
Outside the hall, the governor's yamen, the chief envoy of the political envoy and other officials, the officials, and some miscellaneous officials who were not qualified to enter the hall all took refuge in the house outside the second hall.
The retinue of the governor's yamen was not spacious.
This time it was so many officials again. There were twenty or thirty people piled up in each house, and it was inevitable that it was a little crowded, and it was often the attachΓ©s of several officials who stayed in the room.
It was nine cold winters, and the weather was cold.
The governor's subordinates also have the style of a nine-rank official, at least the tea will not be served, and the fire is not hot enough.
These long-term followers, the officials can only squeeze together, next to each other by the stove, make their own pot of water, put it on the stove to boil, as for the tea, they can take care of themselves, grab a handful and sprinkle it into the pot.
The cold wind outside was fierce, and everyone glanced at the sky outside and chatted.
"Today's meeting is choking!"
"Yes, I don't know how long, if the old man doesn't come out, we will all freeze to death."
"Don't complain, we still have a sip of warm tea to drink here, and it will be difficult for us after today, let alone the people of Henan."
Speaking is a political secretary Zhaoma, the official is not the eighth grade, and the status is not his turn from standing at the door of the second hall, so at least he must be the seventh grade to know the county.
But here he speaks with a lot of weight.
One of the officials inquired to him: "I heard that there is something big going on in today's assembly?" β
The chief secretary smiled and put his hand close to the stove to warm up, but did not speak. The chief immediately picked up the teapot and made a pot of tea for this Zhao, and said flatteringly: "Little one, please ask the master, what is the name of today's meeting?" β
Zhao Mo took a sip of tea, seemed to feel a little warm, frowned, put the tea aside and said, "What kind of stove is this...... It's okay to tell you, when your master comes out in a while, his eyes are sharp and clever. If you make your master unhappy a little, it is small to be scolded lightly, and the heavy one is to be angry with the old man, and he loses his errand. β
"Dare to ask your lordship, what is so serious?"
"It's not that gelding yet...... ...... from the palace As far as the affairs of the domain are concerned, the imperial court presses the province, and the province presses the government, and several of you lords were arrested today to listen to the training. After scolding, those who are obedient will be sent errands, and those who are disobedient will be ......"
The attachΓ© was suspicious: "Why do you want to hit the board?" β
Zhaomo scolded with a smile: "It's the right of the Son of Heaven to play the board, and it's not okay to come from the palace, but from the palace, after all, the party is big, and it's okay to take off your master's black gauze hat." Others come all the way to Henan, one is to ask for money, how to ask for me I don't need to say much, you all see it. β
"The second is to do errands, all the vassal kings of Henan are crowded together, King Lu is going to intervene again, people are the younger brother of today's saint, and the heart of today's holy queen mother, then it must not be missing, how much silver do you say you need? What, hundreds of thousands of taels? That's to send a flower child, worthy of the dignity of King Lu......"
ββ¦β¦ Henan's plate is so big, what should I do if it is not enough, so I have to go to the people to grab it. The people of Henan are so poor that they are about to eat, if your lord has the ability to rob it, he will rob it early, what if he can't grab it? β
The attendant smiled: "If you can't grab it, you have to grab it." β
As soon as these words came out, Na Zhaoma laughed, and everyone in the hall also laughed.
But in the end, the laughter slowly turned into a bitter smile.
The water on the teapot boiled, but no one had the heart to mention it.
Teruma sighed: "It's not easy for us to be officials, and those who have a little conscience won't do this." But there is no way, the fame of the ten years of cold window examination, who doesn't have a wife and children at home! In order to let you old men 'have to rob if you can't grab it', those who come from the palace will have to be Liwei, Liwei is to kill chickens and monkeys, and if you kill chickens and monkeys, someone will be unlucky. β
Everyone said, "My lord is very clever, when I hear you say this, we all understand." β
All the entourages discussed privately, and they must act at the opportunity for a while, so as not to be scolded.
After a while, someone asked: "This lord, do we have any officials in Henan who are not afraid of losing their black yarn hats?" Even if you say a fair word or two for the people, it's fine. β
"Yes, but it's not much, in fact, everyone doesn't want to be a cow or a horse for King Lu, but someone has to pick this one, and of course there must be a nod from the people above, otherwise it's just an egg hitting a stone......"
While he was talking, he saw the door of the second hall open.
"Looks like it's coming to fruition...... But this hour is too early, is something wrong? Teruma said suspiciously.
At this moment, someone outside exclaimed, "It's Lord Lin!" β
"Which Lord Lin?"
"Champion Gong!"
"It's the same knowledge of the German government."
"What's wrong with Lord Lin? It's going to come to this point......"
Zhao Mo was in the inverted seat on the north side, and he couldn't see the situation outside, and the people in the house ran to inquire about the news.
When he moved outside, he saw an official take off his black gauze hat and be escorted out of the second hall of the governor's yamen by two governors.
This Zhaomo has a relationship with Lin Yanchao, and he exclaimed as a acquaintance: "What's going on?" In addition to today, who else dares to take off Lin Sanyuan's black yarn hat? β
The attachΓ© on the side also said: "My lord, isn't Lin Sima the one who is not afraid of losing the black yarn hat?" β
Teruma was stunned and said, "It must be so!" How did I forget, when Lin Sanyuan was a public servant in the world, he offended King Lu! This time it must be Ma Yu and they take the opportunity to retaliate! β
"So Lin Sima is asking for the lives of the people, and he was ...... Did Ma Yu take off the black yarn hat? β
"Eight...... Nine is not far from ten! Teruma sighed, and at some point his voice was already a stalk.
Everyone crowded to the left and right of the corridor, but they saw Lin Yanchao coming in the middle of the road.
Everyone was conjecturing in their hearts that Lin Yanchao must have been dismissed because he opposed Ma Yu and hindered King Lu's accession to the domain.
The officials talked one after another.
"Why can't the imperial court tolerate one or two good officials who ask for the people's lives?"
"This eunuch is too presumptuous, and there is no one in his eyes! Not to mention that he injured the prefect Fu before, even Lin Sima was arrested! β
"Lin Sanyuan has been detained, which of our officials in Henan dares to say a word or two of justice!"
"What a strange injustice!"
"Keep your voice down, if the people in the palace hear it, even we won't be able to please us."
All the officials were sad, and their chests were drooping.
Most people are upset for Lin Yanchao, thinking that the officialdom is really dark. Some people also secretly ridiculed that Lin Yanchao was not able to measure his strength and hit the stone with an egg.
Everyone knows that Ma Yu has the support of the Son of Heaven behind him, do you think you can still do the things that are admonished? The Son of Heaven still has to be embarrassed, and he doesn't dare to openly embarrass the doctor, but his father-in-law, who is an internal supervisor, can be completely shameless in doing things! You play with him according to the rules, it won't work.
Hundreds of people watched, but Lin Yanchao was not in a hurry or impatient, and walked out of the door with a calm expression.
At this time, the officials who had respect for Lin Yanchao stood up and said to Lin Yanchao.
"Lord Lin!"
"Lin Sima!"
The cold wind blows, and the geese sing sadly.
Lin Yanchao watched the officials salute him, he was stunned at first, and then he looked at everyone's faces and was stunned.
He didn't say anything, but stopped and looked at the officials present.
"Lord Lin, take care!"
"Lin Sima ......"
Lin Yanchao nodded, straightened his face, did not explain a word to himself, and then left.
Many officials had tears in their eyes as they watched Lin Yanchao leave.
At this moment, the anger exploded among the officials.
"Lin Sima has been taken down, so the matter of King Lu in Henan is not what the grandfather of Ma said, and what the province agreed."
"As an official of the imperial court, you can't speak, who else will speak for the people?"
The quarrel continued, although everyone was indignant, but no one would really reason with Ma Yu, Lin Yanchao's example was already in front.
As before, everyone just scolded and vented, and when the order from above came down, the officials could only do it without saying a word.
After a while, many officials had calmed down, and some officials turned back to their rooms. Such a thing is no more ordinary, and if it continues to come tomorrow, the official will continue to be the official.
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, they saw two officials carrying a stretcher out of the gate of the second hall.
The stretcher was covered with a white cloth, and blood was dripping all the way!
At this moment, all the officials were angry, and the anger was finally ignited.
Outrageous!
Ma Yu injured Fu Zhiyuan, imprisoned Lin Yanchao, and even beat an official to death in court!
Where is justice?
The officials surrounded the stretcher and asked the officers and soldiers who carried it: "Who is on this stretcher?" β
The officers and soldiers said with a stunned expression: "I don't know this, so we will carry it." β
"Is the man dead?"
"Well, I'm out of breath for a long time, I was beaten to death."
At this time, all the officials were furious, and said angrily: "It's really lawless! β
"How dare you kill someone in court?"
"Ma Yu, did they take our Wenchen in their eyes? If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to close, if you want to kill, you will kill? β
"Give us justice today!"
"Otherwise, we'll rush into the lobby!"
The officials almost roared in anger.
At this time, an official in a scarlet robe walked out of the second hall and shouted, "What are you doing? Do you dare to make a noise when you are meeting? β
In the face of the high-ranking officials' inquiries, the officials couldn't help but be in awe, and their momentum was a little smaller. An official stiffened his neck and said, "Qi Yu Dashen, we want to see Ma Gonggong and ask him why he killed the court officials?" β
"Ma Yu?" A sneering smile appeared on the scarlet-robed official's face, "You want to find Ma Yu?" On a stretcher! β
"Da Shen, are you joking...... What, Ma Yu died? β
An official didn't believe that he opened the white cloth at the moment, and everyone looked at it at the moment, but saw that although the person above was covered with blood, he could vaguely identify that it was Ma Yu, and he was wearing a vermilion bullfighting suit, that's right, this person was Ma Yu!
At this moment, all the officials were dumbfounded.
An official said incredulously: "Ma Gonggong was killed? So how was Lin Sima detained? It can't be the person Lin Sima killed! β
