Once the stampede happens, it is very difficult to bear, the scene will be uncontrollably chaotic, and the more chaos will affect more people, resulting in panic, increased crowding and some people who would otherwise be good to fall, this is a vicious circle of disasters, more people are involved.

Ouyang Xiu's originally gentle face became extremely distorted, just now he opened his mouth to let the forbidden army leave quickly, and lead the crowd to a wider royal road, but he never thought that those forbidden troops were actually knocked down.

After discovering that the person was hit, everyone's subconscious action was to stop, or avoid the person who fell to the ground, so the team of the students who fell to the ground stopped, but the people behind didn't know that it had been pushing forward for a long time, more people fell, and more people were trampled on......

When the Marquis Yu who was patrolling the city arrived, the east crossing was already in a mess, and the screaming people fell to the ground weakly, and more people were planning to limp away, how could they get away at this time?

Ouyang Xiu stared coldly at Liu Ji and the others, and he looked even more cold without saying a word, as if he had a knife in his eyes! Liu Ji and the others who watched it were furious and trembling, and they couldn't stand anymore.

"Ouyang Xianggong, the lower official is getting late to patrol the city and Yu Houfang, please forgive the Xianggong!"

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and help the injured, don't worry if there are still screaming people, first rescue the people who fell to the ground and were silent!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Fang gradually came out of the army, and he couldn't be more clear about these things, most of the people who fell to the ground without a sound were fainting or had died, and there was still a glimmer of hope for timely rescue at this time, and with Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the political affairs, the culprit couldn't run away!

Ouyang Xiu glanced coldly at Liu Ji and the others, still didn't say a word, he was more concerned about the forbidden army and those innocent hawkers who fell to the ground first, according to the posture just now, the heavy casualties were by no means an exaggeration.

The Marquis of Yu sent people to rescue the injured, and Ouyang Xiu stepped forward and said to Liu Ji and others: "I don't know how many innocent people have been injured in this matter, although you are dissatisfied, you can go to the official's mansion to argue, whether to beat or smash the Tingzun, in this important road in Beijing, bewitch the students who have fallen off the list, and besiege the cars of the court officials, so that the innocent people will die, and their crimes will not escape!" ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu stopped, looked at the mess in front of him, and Liu Ji and the others, who were trembling with fear, and spoke again: "It's useless to talk more, the saint must know that it is hopeless to enter the government in this life, and it will even affect the family............"

Ouyang Xiu's last sentence is the words of the heart, not only completely buried his career, but also affected his family, the students of Taixue are all children of official eunuchs, once they are involved in the family, they will not have good fruits to eat, and they will be punished by the elders, and it will affect their lives of fine clothes and food!

From the beginning to the end, they didn't expect that they would be punished, let alone that they would be affected at home, but things were so sudden, and soon the emperor's guard of honor appeared on the royal road, and the solemnity of the atmosphere could be felt from a distance.

It is not a great thing for the students of this dynasty to go to the street to stop the officials, not to mention, it happened in the first day of Emperor Zhenzong, the emperor attached importance to the scholars, respected the scholars, and promoted the scholars, and did not make much punishment, forgave everyone's sins, and did not even punish the copper.

It's just that no one was killed......

And now, there are no less than hundreds of dead and wounded, and if the official family does not punish the crime, no one will believe it, and the exile on Salmon Island may be considered light, as long as it is not beheaded and abandoned in the city......

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, he didn't want to see things suddenly evolve to this point, but people did die, and there were countless injured, if he couldn't give the people an explanation, where was the authority of the official family?

But at present, when it comes to readers, not only students who are too academic, but also some innocent candidates who have failed to make the list, some of these people are also from poor families, or injured or died tragically.

And at this moment, the person who is as entangled and depressed as Ouyang Xiu is Zhao Zhen, looking at the tragic situation of the person in front of him, Zhao Zhen clenched his fist with his hand and gently beat his head, how could this happen?

The stampede in Beijing is already a big one, but now it is good, it is actually caused by the contradiction between the unsuccessful candidates and the main examination, no matter who is right and who is wrong, the first to be affected is not the unsuccessful students, nor the main examination Ouyang Xiu, but this year's imperial examination!

Everything is caused by the fact that they want to change this year's imperial examination, and everyone will also point the finger at this year's imperial examination.

With a slightly wry smile, Zhao Zhen looked at Sancai and said, "You say, will some people say that it is because I changed the imperial examination this year that the appointment will be made?" ”

Seeing that Sancai's face changed sharply, Zhao Zhen added weakly: "I want to listen to the truth!" ”

In desperation, Sancai said with a smile: "Where is the official family, how can the fault be yours?" You are the Son of Heaven! Who can't see your martial arts, how dare you implicate you, it's the fault of the troublesome Taixue students, is it...... It's Ouyang's fault for participating in politics! ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head helplessly, at this time, everyone was afraid that they would say this, but the thoughts in their hearts were unknown, but it was undeniable that the scene in front of him was caused by the imperial examination, and there was no accident in the previous imperial examination, why did it happen when it came to the reform?

Then the problem must be the reform!

Zhao Zhen didn't want to see what happened, he had been worried that the reform of the imperial examination was too strong and involved too many interest groups, and finally proved his guess that sometimes the imperial power could not dominate everything.

Taking care of some people, there must be others who are dissatisfied, they don't even have to do it themselves, they just stand at the end of the crowd to get the results they want, and force the imperial power to compromise.

At the moment, Ouyang Xiu is a pawn that is being used, Liu Ji and other Taixue students are also being used, not to mention the students who are not on the list, they only need to fan the flames a little bit to use them, and those unlucky passers-by and hawkers are unexpected gains.

Facts have proved that some people do not want Ouyang Xiu to carry out the imperial examination reform, and they do not want to see the imperial examination reform of the Great Song Dynasty, so there is today's scene.

Zhao Zhen heard the news during the feast after the Wende Palace's retreat, so this happened not long after the Wende Palace's court meeting ended, and all the ministers and important ministers could easily get rid of themselves, because they were still in the palace, and they left the palace later than Ouyang Xiu.

But Zhao Zhen included all the officials in the palace among the objects of suspicion, although he didn't know who it was, but it didn't affect his suspicions.

Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Shu, who was following on the side of the emperor, and frowned slightly, when the news of the imperial examination reform came out, he was the most opposed, but for some reason, when others objected, he died down.

Although he instinctively thought that Yan Shu would not do such a thing, and he did not bother to do it, Zhao Zhen still put a question mark on him in his heart, at least he should know something, because Yan Shu has always been talking to himself recently.
