However, to Yang Feng's surprise, the next day, the counterattack of those civil officials began.

Xuande Gate.

"Actually beating the drum?"

Yang Feng stood on the city tower and looked at the Dengwen drum on the west side of the royal street in front of the door with great interest.

At this time, thousands of scholars gathered in front of the big drum that went straight to the sky, not only in Bianliang City, but also a large part of them rushed from around Bianliang to support, after all, most of the scholars in Bianliang City who dared to oppose the national teacher were still in the Taixue circle. The court set up in the Great Xiangguo Temple is still trying the verdict day and night, because there are too many people, it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months to complete the trial, but those that have been tried before have begun to be loaded on ships to Hainan Island at this time, according to Yang Feng's estimation after this incident, Hainan Island is also considered to be crowned.

But the strength of those scholars around Bianliang is still very strong, especially with the destruction of the Jin army, the Holy Sect that was originally trapped in Bianliang City also began to spread rapidly around Bianliang, and then ......

Then the contradictions between the two sides intensified.

Although the Holy Sect is based on Taoism, those Juntian's thoughts are directly poking at the lungs of those gentry, if it weren't for the fact that the boss of the Holy Sect is too terrifying, I am afraid that the local officials would have been exterminated as the Xie Sect, but even if those gentry are hostile, under the suppression of the terrorist force of the national teacher who has just killed nearly 6,000 gold troops alone, they also know that it is very fatal to jump out.

Just look at Du Chong.

Du Zhizhou's head is still very fresh.

So those scholars from all over the country who were full of righteous indignation because of the wanton persecution of scholars in the city, as well as the removal of Li Gang and Zeng Mao, became a means for them to show their strength to the national teacher, or they were used as guns, and then what remained in Bianliang City, plus the scholars from the last few counties outside the city, poured into Bianliang all at once, and ran to beat the drums to avenge Li Gang and Zeng Mao. It is useless to injustice Du Chong, Du Chong did massacre the homeless people in Cangzhou, and many of these homeless people are still from Cangzhou, but they went to Yanshan Mansion a few years ago and then came back, even so, a large number of people were killed by Du Chong on suspicion of being a spy, and even the old and weak women and children were killed, even if the history books added a sentence to him.

The national teacher didn't wronged him at all.

Of course, he still won't die if he is normal, maybe at most he will be demoted, after all, he is to prevent someone from responding to Jin Jun.

The means are a little cruel.

But for civil servants, this is understandable.

It is impossible for him to kill those gentry, kill those rich businessmen who have connections, it is nothing more than killing some poor people like mustard, even if someone sues, it is nothing more than a symbolic punishment, demote him, transfer him to work elsewhere, in short, this is enough, let him pay for the lives of those thousands of refugees, this is too exaggerated!

Anyway, he was also a Jinshi.

The Great Song Dynasty has only produced 10,000 such pillars for more than 100 years, how can it be killed because of a small mistake?

But even this is not good for him to be wronged.

The focus of these scholars is Li Gang and Zeng Mao, as for those who were beheaded by the guillotine before and those who were exiled, this is also not good to complain, after all, they are involved in the reverse case, and it is the reverse case that killed the two emperors, and even involves the content of defecting to the enemy and treason, and it is a bit exaggerated to avenge these people, at most, the level of the civil judges who tried the case is poor, and the hasty killing is too serious, which hurts the peace, but it is politically incorrect to shout grievances to these people.

"Li Xianggong is a thousand miles of Qin Wang, loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, once made the king love the people like a son, stubbornly defend the lonely city to resist the Jin captives, why is the ruling party abolished for a small reason, I will wait for the Queen Mother's official family, for the second duke!"

In front of the drum, a Confucian student shouted.

"Yes, we will ask to see the Queen Mother's official family to avenge the grievances of the second duke!"

The soldiers in front of him shouted in unison.

However, it is useless for them to beat the Dengwen drum, the Dengwen Drum Courtyard has long been gone, Yang Feng used the excuse that the functions of the Four People's Congress and the Dengwen Drum Courtyard overlapped, and in order to save money and food to protect the army during the extraordinary period, the Dengwen Drum Courtyard was temporarily revoked, and the Dengwen Drum Courtyard was still circled in Taixue waiting to be disposed of!

It's useless for them to knock again.

But obviously these scholars did not think of knocking out the Empress Dowager's official house, they used this to attract onlookers, and then create momentum, sure enough, with their shouts, more and more onlookers gathered around, because Yang Feng had already ordered the opening of the Royal Street, and the Dengwen Drum itself was on the Imperial Corridor, so this area was very suitable for crowds to gather, and soon it could be said that it was crowded. And those scholars also felt the taste of the people looking up to the country, and then the content of the propaganda began to change, began to criticize some policies of the imperial court, and began to have a bad evaluation of the national teacher by the way, obviously they also wanted to expose the true face of the national teacher, so that the people in Bianliang City could polish their eyes.

"Master, do you want to drive them away?"

A disciple beside Yang Feng said.

"Drive? No, we have to be tolerant, and they haven't broken the law! ”

Yang Feng said casually.

More than 70% of the people in this Bianliang City are his believers, that is to say, 70% of the onlookers at the moment are his believers, and these people are very fanatical about his worship, and these scholars dare to criticize him, which is basically similar to scolding them for a certain saint in some people.

At first, the onlookers were just debating with them, but it was clear that the two sides were talking about the same thing, and the way of the scholars and the quotations of their national teachers were completely incomprehensible.

Debates suddenly turned into quarrels.

The quarrel suddenly turned into a push.

Pushing and shoving suddenly turned into a mutual fight.

In the blink of an eye, there was a scuffle in front of the drum, and those scholars and the surrounding national teachers and believers immediately scuffled together, and then the scholars were overwhelmed by the sea of people in a blink of an eye, after all, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and as for combat effectiveness, they were not at all the opponents of the national teachers and believers who had experienced the battle of the Bianliang barricades, and they soon appeared on the wide royal street and fled in embarrassment. These guys were beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, crooked clothes and hats, stumbling and crying, desperately running away among the believers who were still chasing and beating, but most of them were pressed down by the oncoming believers of the national teacher, followed by a punch and kick, but these believers are all old oils, they are very measured, the law of the Great Song Dynasty is only injured when they see blood, and the bruises on their bodies are not a problem, don't break your nose and pout your fingers and tear off people's hair.

"Haha, this is not a beautiful scenery!"

Yang Feng admired the battle in front of the royal street and said with a smile.

"National teacher, why is this?"

Just then, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

"Queen Mother!"

Then there was a salute.

Immediately afterwards, a little Lori ran to his side, also happily watching the scene of the melee on the Royal Street.

"The Queen Mother, it's just some private fights, and the gendarmerie is going over to stop it."

Yang Feng said to the Queen Mother with a smile.

The gendarmerie is his Rokka-regular soldier.

The function is equivalent to the armed police, and it will be promoted to various places in the future, directly subordinate to the various roads, and the government service of Kaifeng Mansion is equivalent to the police, and the two are jointly responsible for the security of Bianliang City, but the defense is responsible for the newly established Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard is commanded by Wang Zongmi, and is organized into an army, of which four brigades are stationed in the outer city, and one brigade is stationed in the inner city, and the other armies no longer belong to the forbidden army system of Bianliang, but have become the Great Song National Defense Force under the Commander's Office.

"This, aren't these Confucian students, how do they beat Confucian students?"

The Queen Mother said in surprise.

"Queen Mother, can't Confucianism fight?"

Yang Feng leaned on the railing and looked at her, and said with a smile.

Or is there anything different about Confucianism? They are nothing more than literacy, literacy in the past is indeed remarkable, after all, reading costs money and spends a lot of money, books are very rare, before the Tang Dynasty, books were copied by hand, and no one who wants to copy can copy, you have to be good to get it, and the book collector will not take it out easily, you have to be your own relatives or friends, even if there is a bookstore to sell, it is also expensive, even some poor families can't afford it, in this case, the common people don't talk about learning, even if they see it, they may not have seen what the book looks like.

But what about now?

How much is a newspaper outside? ”

Yang Feng asked his disciple.

"Back to the master, a single tabloid is a penny."

The disciple said.

"How many words are there?"

Yang Feng asked.

"It's hard to say, many of them are drawn, but there are always a few hundred words on a sheet."

The disciple said.

"You see, a penny can give a person the opportunity to learn hundreds of words, and how many words are used regularly? At most, a few thousand, as long as someone teaches and is willing to learn, any person can take the newspaper that this penny buys, and then learn to write hundreds of words. There is also paper, there was no paper in the past, and the words needed to be written on bamboo slips, or even on cloth, although the Han Dynasty had papermaking, but the cost of paper was still very high, but now? For a penny, you can buy a piece of paper with hundreds of words printed on it, and pictures printed on it.

Technological progress has reduced the cost of reading to a level that ordinary people can afford, so as long as there are enough teachers, we can make everyone in the world literate.

So is there a difference between them and them?

They were indeed different in the Han and Wei dynasties, and even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were still different, but in my Great Song Dynasty, because of the development of technology, the cost of literacy has been reduced to close the gap between them, and movable type printing has made the cost of literacy almost low to the point that everyone can afford it. ”

Yang Feng said.

The beautiful young woman Queen Mother looked thoughtful.

"Queen Mother, you have to understand one thing, as long as the common people have enough food and clothing, they will not rebel, they will not ask for too many things, but these people are different, their thoughts are still stuck in their high times, they think that the emperor and the scholars rule the world together, they make all kinds of ropes to trap the emperor, and even dare to change an emperor for their own interests, why should we continue to tolerate such people?

We need to let them know......"

Yang Feng sneered and said: "Those peddlers and pawns are the people, and they are also the people, they are not more noble than those dung men who pick up dung in this Bianliang City. ”
