Chapter 613: Sue the Emperor
The officials of the Criminal Department, the lecturers of the Guozijian are all frightened in front of the angry Guozijian students, don't talk about arresting people at this moment, it's good not to be torn up on the spot by these angry readers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The situation is stronger than people, and at this moment, the officials know that the plan to arrest people today has failed, and even they will not be able to protect themselves if they go down, so they have retreated.
When these people left, they didn't forget to warn: "Do you think it's okay to hide in the country?" ”
"Tomorrow will look good with you."
The prisoners were furious, and these people did not dare to say any more, so they could only leave in disgrace.
At this moment, the prisoners were not in a calm mood, gathered together, and refused to disperse.
Qu Hengjiang, as well as dozens of Guozi prisoners who were 'invited to go to the Criminal Department' by officials of the Criminal Department, were all talking to each other and discussing countermeasures.
A prisoner said to everyone: "This time, we will be expelled from school by the imperial court." How is it good then? ”
A prisoner said: "It's okay to be expelled from school, I have a relative in the Criminal Department, and I heard that Lu Wanjia and the soldiers who were arrested were tortured and interrogated by Hong Mingqi's dog official, asking them to frame Lin Sanyuan for attacking the official sedan chair behind his back, and also privately lecturing among the people to teach Yongjia's learning." ”
"If we are arrested and sent to the Criminal Department, isn't that the case?"
"Hmph, Hong Ming's dog official is simply taking revenge for himself."
"I'd rather die than get from it."
At this time, Qu Hengjiang stood up and said to everyone: "Instead of doing this, it is better to do it endlessly, let's make things bigger!" ”
Dozens of inmates all asked, "How do you make a big fuss?" ”
Qu Hengjiang looked around left and right and said: "Let's go to Dengwen Drum Courtyard to write a book and sue the emperor!" ”
Qu Hengjiang said a word, and the prisoners responded together: "Sue the royal complaint!" ”
This Dengwen Drum Courtyard started from Yao Shun, and was called the drum of daring to admonish.
Road drums are set up during the week, and the people can beat the drum to complain directly to the Son of Heaven if they have grievances.
In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court still set up the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, which is located in the right gate of Chang'an.
In the Dengwen Drum Courtyard on weekdays, there is a procuratorial imperial history, and the six departments are given to the matter, and the brocade guards are on duty.
If there are people who are wronged, they can go to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard and beat the Dengwen Drum to complain to the Son of Heaven, and no official can stop them. If an official neglects or even refuses to accept a drumming case, the court can impose a heavy penalty on him.
Therefore, Qu Hengjiang said that if he went to Dengwen Drum Courtyard and sued the emperor, he could tell the matter directly to the Son of Heaven and go up to heaven to listen.
Generally speaking, the people are not forced to the extreme, and they will not beat the drums, but for the prisoners who have already been released, there is nothing to dare to do.
"Let's gather the rest of the people and go together!"
"Good!"
The prisoners immediately wrote a complaint on the spot.
The complaint is intended to avenge the Son of Heaven, explain the twists and turns of the matter clearly, and implore the release of Lu Wanjia and other scholars who were imprisoned in the Criminal Department, and abolish the order issued by the imperial court in the seventh year of Wanli to ban academies and lectures, and allow the people to teach Yongjia's learning.
Someone read this piece of paper and said, "If you hand it over, you will stab the matter to the sky!" The imperial court may not have the intention of banning Yongjia's learning, but after you make such a fuss, I am afraid it will be banned.
There were also a few old and serious prisoners who advised them not to do this, and the prisoners went to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard to read the book, didn't it disturb the holy driver? Even if it is justified, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.
Everyone laughed, Qu Hengjiang where did they manage so much, they had already made up their minds.
"How about discarding this bandana?"
"Rather die than die silently!"
"If the Tao is not declared, what good is it for us to seek fame?"
After speaking, the prisoners drew on the paper one by one.
After the pleadings were written, more than 100 inmates of Guozijian responded to the wish and went to Dengwenguyuan to write a book, although there were not many people, but it was already a considerable proportion of the more than 1,000 inmates of Guozijian.
Many prisoners also supported it, but they did not dare to go because they were afraid of taking on the burden or being dismissed, so they could only send them from afar.
When Qu Hengjiang and the others walked out of Jixian Gate, the prison guards who saw each other off were sad, or choked up with tears, or cried loudly.
Everyone has a sad look on their faces.
There are also prisoners who are worried that a catastrophe is coming, and this matter will affect them, so they sit in the prison and sigh for a long time. Some people rushed to report the matter to Zhou Ziyi, the priest of the country.
The prisoners who sued the emperor set off from the Guozijian to the Forbidden City.
The prisoners also unfurled banners along the way, saying that the scholars were willing to the Son of Heaven.
Along the way, scholars and people along the way stepped forward to ask.
Many people have known about this for a long time, and after hearing that they went to redress their grievances, some hesitated and some were afraid, but there were also many scholars who joined the ranks of prisoners.
Qu Hengjiang also knew that this time he went to Dengwen Drum Courtyard to read the book, even if he handed the paper to the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it would be useless. He did this just to fulfill the obsession of a scholar, and they also knew in their hearts that it would be mostly in vain, after all, the imperial court decree was there, and it would not be changed because of the protest of them scholars.
Even if the appeal is successful, he, as the leader, will be heavily responsible, stripped of his fame, confiscated into the army, or even killed.
Qu Hengjiang was full of grief and indignation, and most of the other prisoners also had such feelings.
came all the way from Guozijian, but after seeing many scholars on the street asking, he did not hesitate to join his team to sue the emperor.
Qu Hengjiang didn't want to involve others, so he said to a scholar, brother, I am afraid that I will sue the emperor, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.
This man replied, where righteousness lies, there is no excuse!
Most of them remained silent, drew on the pleadings and attached them to the end of the line.
There are even more respectful people who stand still at the corners of the streets and alleys, bow deeply to the procession, and stand there to see each other off.
Qu Hengjiang did not expect this to rise at this time, and there was no organized complaint in advance, but he received the support of so many scholars.
At this moment, he couldn't help but have blood surging in his chest, and he swung towards them and strode forward.
When the team arrived at the right gate of Chang'an, Qu Hengjiang stood still and looked back, and there were nearly 1,000 people gathered here in the green shirts and shirts of the scholars. They have students, prisoners, lifters, and scholars who have not even made a name for themselves.
Qu Hengjiang said to the left and right with tears in his eyes: "I am not alone!" ”
Several leading prisoners on the side also said, "Those who have attained the Tao will be more helpful." ”
"Even if we die today, the Yongjia scriptures taught by the sages will not die."
After hearing these words, everyone wiped away their tears.
Qu Hengjiang looked up to the sky and smiled: "Since this is the case, what regret is it for me to wait for death!" ”
After Qu Hengjiang proudly hugged his fists, he walked to the Jinshui Bridge with the paper in his hand and knelt down towards the Forbidden City, bowed four times, and then held the paper with both hands and held it high above his head.
But I saw that the white paper and black paper were densely covered with red fingerprints, and there was no gap!
Countless scholars also lifted their robes at the same time, followed Qu Hengjiang to kneel in front of Chang'an, and shouted: "We want to sue the emperor!" ”
"We want to see the Holy One!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
The voice of thousands of people suddenly shook the Forbidden City and went straight through the Que.
The Imperial City shook!
