Nearly 1,000 scholars knelt by the Jinshui River, and in the face of such a scene, the forbidden army at the right gate of Chang'an was on duty to guard thousands of households, and the right gate of Chang'an had already been tightly closed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The generals of the forbidden army on duty had a big headache, and if someone dared to make such a disturbance in front of the palace gate on weekdays, they would have arrested or dispersed them a long time ago. This is where the Son of Heaven rests, if you want to make trouble, don't you look at what place it is?

But at this moment, they saw so many scholars, many of whom were still famous and famous, gathered in front of the palace gate, and they didn't dare to do it even if they were given a hundred dares.

If it is not handled carefully, it will arouse the anger of all the scholars in the capital.

But seeing that the scholars were outside the door, they knelt down and said that they wanted to see the emperor and face the saint. How dare the forbidden soldiers open the door, but lock the palace gate.

The guards on duty at the palace, the imperial history on duty at the Dengwen Drum Temple, and in the middle of the matter, they climbed the castle tower and took turns to persuade the scholars.

Although the scholars agreed to present the pleadings to the Emperor of Heaven, they insisted on facing the saint and were willing to disperse after receiving an answer on the spot.

The scholar knocked on the door and refused to disperse, so the imperial historian on duty could only personally hold the paper in his hand and enter the palace to report the matter to the Son of Heaven.

In fact, even if there is no need to tell the scholar, the matter of the scholar knocking at the right gate of Chang'an has already alarmed the Son of Heaven.

At that time, the emperor was in the Wuying Palace, receiving the annual palace pilgrimage from the vassal king.

In the Wuying Palace, the noise outside the Chang'an Gate penetrated through the palace wall.

The little emperor who was receiving the court was shocked, and the feudal kings under the rank also had strange faces. The little emperor hastily ended the court's ceremony and refused Feng Bao's request to return to the inner palace to take refuge.

I don't know if anyone is in trouble, the little emperor sent a few eunuchs to the right gate of Chang'an to investigate, and sent people to Wenyuan Pavilion to announce Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing and other pavilion elders, and at the same time asked Feng Bao to immediately mobilize the Beijing camp into the palace in case of accidents.

The scholar knocked on the que, and what a big deal it was to sue the emperor, and the news immediately spread throughout the six departments and Jiuqing yamen in the capital.

At this moment, he is inside the yamen of the criminal department outside the right gate of Chang'an.

Liu Yiru, the servant of the Criminal Department, heard that the scholar knocked on the Que, because of the arrest of the Criminal Department, and he was immediately angry, and called Hong Mingqi angrily.

Liu Yiru, a native of Yiling, Huguang, and Wang Zhang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, are fellow villagers, and naturally they are also Zhang Juzheng's township party, and his eldest son Liu Huanzhi married Zhang Juzheng's daughter, which can be described as a family of sons and daughters. Liu Yiru's background is so profound that the officials of the Criminal Department all believe that in the future, after Yan Qingzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will be filled by Liu Yiru.

Despite such a big background, Liu Yiru is still very cautious as an official.

Being cautious for officials, in other words, is afraid of things, Liu Yiru heard that thousands of scholars knocked on the royal complaint, and said in his heart that this time the matter is so big, it will inevitably alarm the holy driver, and it will also sweep Zhang Juzheng's face.

Once the matter is over, the court will inevitably investigate it, and both the officials involved and the scholars who admonish will be condemned by the court. I must not be involved in this matter.

"If Your Majesty is angry about this matter, Yuanfu will be angry, and you will have to bear the consequences!" Liu Yiru found Hong Ming and reprimanded.

Hong Mingqi knelt in front of Liu Yiru and wept: "I beg the adults of the hall to take care of one or two, I really can't afford to bear the lowly position, and I really didn't expect that there would be such a consequence at that time!" ”

Liu Yiru sneered and said, "You are also afraid, so what else can you do?" Unless you have a way to get the knocking priests to disperse. ”

Hong Ming got up and said: "Lord Tang, according to the humble opinion, in broad daylight, how can those scholars make trouble for no reason, how many years has there been no scholar in this dynasty, aren't they afraid that the court will condemn them, and they don't want to be famous?" This matter suddenly arises, there must be someone behind this matter, as long as this person is arrested and dealt with heavily, the scholars will disperse! ”

Liu Yiru has been an official for many years, but he didn't know that Hong Ming thought about it carefully, and sneered: "What a murder with a knife." You are such a talent, why didn't this parish see it before. ”

Hong Mingqi hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't dare to be humble, I'm just thinking about the adults in the hall." ”

Liu Yiru knew it in his heart, although he knew that this was Hong Mingqi's plan to kill people with a knife, but now it was also his only prevarication.

"Do you think it's so easy to shirk this? You go down first, and the official is looking for a countermeasure? ”

"Yes." Hong Mingqi replied cautiously.

When Hong Mingqi walked out of the door of the duty hall, Liu Yiru suddenly said: "Hong is in charge." ”

"Humble duty."

"This gentleman knocked, it won't be you who provoked it!"

Hong Ming shuddered and hurriedly said, "Lord Hall, how dare the lower officials lift a stone and hit their own feet." ”

"If this official knows that you are intentional, he will not let you go, go down!"

After Liu Yiru lightly admonished, he called several staff members to discuss in the duty hall.

After Hong Ming saluted and left the duty hall and returned to his public room, the submissive look on Fang Cai's face was not visible at all, and he was talking to himself in the public room.

"A group of scholars, if you really can't be excited, the old man uses a small trick, you throw yourself into the net, who doesn't know that everything is in the old man's scheme."

"The old man's design has angered you, although I can't escape the blame, but Yu Lin Sanyuan is not it. Regardless of whether Lin Sanyuan intervened in this matter or not, a crime of instigating the scholar to coerce the holy will and disturb the holy driver could not escape. ”

"The old man is already hopeless, and he is a man in his last years, why not exchange the old man's career for your Lin Sanyuan's career? Wang Zhen, the servant of the ministry, has promised to take care of the old man's two sons in the future, hum, this Fujian son is going back to his hometown to farm. ”

Hong Mingqi's face was full of smugness, officialdom is different from the science field, you can be three yuan and the first in the science field, but you can't in the officialdom.

There were two knocks on the door of the public house.

Hong Ming smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Liu Tangbu asked Director Hong to follow him, enter the palace to face the saint, and explain the matter of the scholar knocking."

Hong Mingqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and if this Liu Yiru was really submissive.

"Here we are." Hong Ming picked up a whole official robe and walked out of the public room.

Right now.

Lin Yanchao is at home, and today is when he is resting, and he is not on duty in Japan, otherwise he would have been called to Wuying Hall by the Son of Heaven for the first time at this moment.

After Chen Jichuan heard the scholar knocking on the court and complaining about the royal complaint, he rushed to Lin Yanchao as soon as possible.

After Chen Jichuan finished speaking to Lin Yanchao, Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "What a Hong Mingqi, you are planning to exchange your life with this official!" ”

Chen Jichuan asked: "Master, do you think that the matter of the scholar knocking on the que was the mastermind of Hong Mingqi?" ”

"Nine times out of ten. If I were Hong Mingqi and wanted to arrest Qu Hengjiang and a few other prisoners, why should I arrest people in the Guozi Prison in this large court? Where is Guozijian, the Son of Heaven Piyong, who has the courage to arrest people in Guozijian. Wait a few days, can't you catch the prisoner when he returns to leave? This move is a strategy to force people to go to Liangshan. ”

Chen Jichuan suddenly said, "I see." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "But Hong Mingqi thought that he could calculate me in this way, so he took it for granted." ”

The first shift of the new year, there is another watch in the evening, first ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket! (To be continued.) )
