The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 419 July Twenty [Part [-]]

This afternoon.

After reading Jiao Shun's latest essay on the Industrial Party, Emperor Longyuan thought about it for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to the memorial that needed to be reviewed.

When he opened the first memorial, he was a little absent-minded at first, but when he saw what was reported above, he immediately frowned.

Seeing this, Dai Quan, the chief eunuch, put his heart into his throat, leaned forward slightly, and was ready to kneel down at any time to meet the emperor's wrath—because he deliberately placed the memorial on the top, and the general content was the inspector's office. It was reported that the gentry students in the capital were agitated by Zhou Long's case, and they intended to go to the Dali Temple to protest.

The main appeals of the students are also listed above, namely: to release Zhou Long in court and severely punish the treacherous villain who caused chaos in the court.

Although the spring and autumn style of writing is used here, anyone can tell that the so-called treacherous villain refers to Jiao Shun, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Affairs.

Given the recent emperor Jiao Shun's appreciation and love, this memorial will undoubtedly greatly offend...

"Hehe~"

Emperor Longyuan chuckled suddenly, and threw the memorial to the ground casually: "Many arms to block the car, overestimate one's strength! Let's make trouble, make trouble, if we don't make trouble, how will we know who is the real treacherous villain? "

After a pause, he asked Dai Quan again: "When will the summary of the state-owned workshop in the first half of the year be presented?"

"This……"

Dai Quan thought about it for a while, and immediately replied: "According to the usual practice in previous years, most reports are made after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Too late, too late!"

Emperor Longyuan said involuntarily: "Order the Ministry of Industry to summarize the situation in Zhili within three days, and post the summary articles in the Inspectorate, Hanlin Academy, Guozijian, and major academies in the capital, so that they See with your own eyes the harm to the country and the people in your mouth!"

Although the data for the first half of the year had not been reported, the emperor, who paid special attention to the Ministry of Industry and the New Deal, learned the general situation early.

Generally speaking, the situation is very gratifying, and the biggest bright spot is the data in June.

After the news of the engineering award spread like wildfire, most of the workshops in Zhili achieved excess output in June, and the cost control and finished product quality also improved to a considerable extent, which is enough to prove the engineering award. Positive utility.

Now the emperor asked the Ministry of Industry to list the data, obviously to slap the scholars in the face.

You say that Jiao Shun harmed the country and the people, but he only used a mere position as a ninth-grade craftsman to make the state-owned workshop burst out with great vitality, and the benefits created for the country are even worse for a hundred or a thousand nerds. It may not be in time!
When Dai Quan dispatched the eunuch to deliver the decree, Emperor Longyuan continued to look through the memorial and asked casually, "Where did the bicycle go today?"

"It seems that it was borrowed by Concubine Rong."

"Concubine Rong?"

The emperor nodded slightly, obviously satisfied with this candidate.

Originally, after he regained his glory, he always used lottery to choose his bed partner, but since the last time he used the bicycle as a prop at Concubine Xiande's place last time, the concubines in the palace suddenly became enlightened and ran to the empress. Borrow the car from the empress, and then try to deliver the news to the emperor.

Although the emperor didn't intend to use this thing as a prop every day, he was also happy to see the concubines competing for favor, so he acquiesced to this method.

…………

The next day, it was July [-]th.

Worried about being blocked by the students, Jiao Shun arrived at Dali Temple before dawn.

As a result, as soon as he reached the empty lobby, Liu Changyou chased after him.

Jiao Shun knew in his heart that Liu Chang came here at this time, there must be some important news, so he hurriedly asked the people from Dali Temple to prepare a room for value.

When the two entered the duty room one after the other, Liu Changyou immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, something has happened!"

"What happened?"

"The workshop, the situation in the workshop is not right. As soon as the gate of the city opened today, there were several proposals and ambassadors who sent people to report, saying that yesterday the work-students gathered their cronies and held a secret meeting behind closed doors..."

As Liu Changyou said, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked for instructions: "The humble official felt that the rumors were wrong, so he sent people to various places to find out what happened, and at the same time came here to report to the lord."

tsk~
Hearing that the work-students had another movement, how should I put it, Jiao Shun felt like his boots had fallen to the ground.

In fact, before this, he had some conflicts in his heart. On the one hand, he didn’t want the work-students to cause extra troubles and destroy his bitter schemes and counter-measures; I have cultivated it carefully for more than a year.

"grown ups."

Liu Changyou cautiously asked for instructions: "Do you think you want to order the workshop to martial law? Then find Yang Limu..."

Jiao Shun raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

Yang Hongqing was either lying to himself all the time, or he was completely kept in the dark by his classmates.

Regardless of whether it's the former or the latter, this guy won't be able to use it in the future!
As for ordering the workshop to martial law...

If it was before he got the right to play the Secret Zhe, Jiao Shun might really have taken such a countermeasure to avoid complications.

But recently, he has established a closer relationship with the emperor by writing a small essay on the Industrial Party, and this has also given him more confidence to face the current complicated situation.

Moreover, the current fierce and one-sided public opinion is somewhat beyond his expectations.

Otherwise...

Just let the work-students make a fuss, so as to neutralize it?

He was quite familiar with these work-study students. Although some of them were reckless, those who really talked about things must be calm and smart, and it was basically impossible for them to take the initiative to have a confrontation with the students.

Moreover, they have been able to keep it secret until now, and they have obviously established a considerable degree of organizational capabilities.

Ok……

Chen Wansan and Li Qing must be saved!
As soon as he thought that the work-study students might succeed, Jiao Shun's thinking suddenly jumped to another direction.

No matter what the final result is, the prestige of those who organize this labor movement is bound to increase greatly. If they don't try to check and balance one or two, it may become a habit to leave their own teacher and boss to "go alone" in the future.

Although Chen Wansan and Li Qingcai were the first to go alone—this is why Jiao Shun didn't intend to do everything in his power to keep them.

But as long as the two sides are not monolithic, there is the possibility of governing from it.

In particular, Jiao Shun also occupies the dual high ground of the teacher and the boss, and can fully adopt the strategy of divide and conquer.

"grown ups?"

Seeing Jiao Shun groaning silently, Liu Changyou asked for instructions in a hurry: "How should we deal with it?"

"Let's just wait and see what happens."

Jiao Shun gave an answer that surprised Liu Chang, and then ordered: "Go outside and see which yamen is in charge of maintaining order today."

Liu Chang hesitated to speak, which shows that Jiao Shun's attitude is firm, and he still has no choice but to accept orders and leave.

…………

at the same time.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Dong Xun also rushed to the vicinity of Dali Temple early in the morning.

However, he entrusted Niu Siyuan with the task of approaching and reconnaissance, while he himself sat in a tea stall more than a hundred steps away from Dali Temple and made overall arrangements.

Unlike the impassioned one on stage yesterday, Dong Xun, who wrapped his cloak in the picket uniform, also became taciturn.

The furrowed brows and the clenched fists under the table all proved that he was actually far less confident than he showed yesterday. The so-called not fighting uncertain battles was just to ease everyone's hearts.

At this time, Niu Siyuan led two work-students in plain clothes and walked quickly towards the tea stand.

Seeing that his face was gloomy and frowning, Dong Xun's heart skipped a beat, barely suppressing his panic, he stood up and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Niu Siyuan gave the two people behind him a wink, let them occupy the empty tables on both sides, and then sat down opposite Dong Xun, and whispered: "It's not going well, it's the people who patrol the city and the soldiers and horses. The team... is Xuncheng Censor."

Dong Xun sat back on the bench and said bitterly: "How could it be the Xuncheng Yushi?!"

This is almost the worst situation he imagined!
Speaking of the yamen that manages public security in the capital, the first thing most people think of is the Shuntianfu yamen, so yesterday Dong Xun used the name of Jia Yucun to stabilize people's hearts.

But according to the current system of the Xia Dynasty, in addition to Shuntian Mansion and the two county yamen under its jurisdiction, there is another yamen that also has the authority to govern the public security of the capital.

That is the Patrolling Bing Ma Si, who accepts the dual leadership of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion and the Inspector's Office.

Generally speaking, in situations like students blocking the door to protest, the first choice is for Shuntian Prefecture to maintain order. Even if the patrolling soldiers and horses are alarmed, military officials usually lead the team.

However, what needs to be led by the censor who patrols the city is often an investigation or inspection involving illegal behavior by officials.

Therefore, when Dong Xun and others made their plans at the beginning, they thought that the chance of encountering the Xuncheng Yushi was not high, but whoever imagined it just won this lottery!

You know, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the vanguard of attacking engineering and the New Deal, and you know with your ass that between students and work-study students, they will choose which side to support.

Seeing that Dong Xun's face was pale, obviously he had suffered quite a blow, Niu Siyuan said softly: "Now is not the time to be flustered and depressed, the arrow is on the string, not to mention the Xuncheng Yushi, even if it is the king of heaven, we can only bite the bullet. gone."

Dong Xun took a deep breath, drank the cold tea on the table, wiped his mouth and gritted his teeth, and said, "That's right, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot! So what if the censor is partial? We didn't think about it." But how can you take advantage of it here!"

After a pause, he said again: "When people are almost here, let's instruct them carefully again, don't be fooled by..."

He originally wanted to say that he must not be caught by the censor who patrols the city, but then he thought about it, the Taoist officials are the vanguards against engineering and work-study students. The fate of picking bones.

Can't help sighing: "Oh, everyone, try not to be caught."

"The matter of mobilizing more people..."

"Suppress the news! If someone gets the news and wants to come, he must try his best to dissuade him!"

Originally, he was thinking of raising his arms and calling everyone to see him, but now he is trying to prevent the workers from coming, so as not to cause more trouble.

Dong Xun's mood was inevitably depressed again, and he smiled wryly: "If we are captured by the inspector, I don't know if we will be able to see Li Qing and Chen Wansan."

Niu Siyuan responded silently, although he was equally anxious, but he had more motives than Dong Xun, so it was absolutely impossible to back down.

The two of them were silent at each other, when suddenly another work-study student ran over like Fei Ye, and without hesitation to hide his identity, he shouted directly from a distance of three or five feet: "President, Brother Niu, the teacher came from Dali Temple. Come out, roll call to see the Xuncheng Censor!"

Dong Xun and Niu Siyuan suddenly got up at the same time, exchanged glances, and greeted in unison: "Go, go and have a look!"

When they arrived in front of the gate of Dali Temple, Chen Xun, the inspector of the city, happened to have just finished the ceremony with Jiao Shun, with his nostrils facing upwards, putting on a haughty face, and said in a tone-of-fact tone: "My duty is on my shoulders. If you really have something important to do, you might as well just say it.”

He emphasized the word 'true', which meant that if Jiao Shun couldn't give a legitimate reason, he would turn his face straight away.

Jiao Shun didn't care about his attitude, he glanced at the two sides of the gate from the corner of his eye, and said loudly: "Jiao heard that some students are going to protest at the gate today, and I also heard that the people patrolling the city guards in front of the gate. Order—from Jiao’s point of view, there’s no need to mobilize the crowd like this at all!”

Chen Yan snorted when he heard the words, and said in an official tone: "I'm afraid it's not Mr. Jiao's business. I'm here at the invitation of the Dali Temple. Naturally, it's up to the Dali Temple to decide whether I need it or not."

As he said that, he wanted to walk away, as if he was demeaning himself if he said the first half of the sentence to Jiao Shun.

"Chen Yushi's words are wrong!"

Jiao Shun raised his voice again: "Students are here this time, partly for Zhou Long, partly for Jiao, how can Jiao just ignore it?"

Chen Fang turned half of his body, turned back again, and asked with a sneer: "Then what is Master Jiao's intention?"

"Chen Yushi, please be careful when maintaining order, and don't hurt innocent people!" Jiao Shun cupped his hands and said with emotion: "Emperor Taizu once said that the truth becomes clearer when it is debated, and Jiao believes that he has a clear conscience. I firmly believe that even if the students are deceived for a while, sooner or later they will be able to see the truth clearly!"

"And if during this period, someone is convicted for speaking against Jiao, it is something Jiao absolutely does not want to see!"

What Jiao Shun said stunned Chen Fang.

But after all, he is also an old man in the officialdom, and he quickly realized that Jiao Shun was probably worried that someone would intentionally create conflicts and frame him, so he confessed in public in advance.

He secretly sneered, thinking that with the current trend of public opinion, why would there be any need to deliberately create conflicts?
As long as the students are allowed to protest for a few more days, some people in the DPRK and China will naturally take the opportunity to attack!

At that moment, Chen Yan said without hesitation: "Don't worry about that, the people who come here are all the talents of the country. With Mr. Chen here, naturally they won't suffer any damage."

"Chen Yushi dare to swear?!"

Jiao Shun was worried, and chased after him relentlessly: "I swear to promise that there will never be officers and soldiers in front of the door today who hurt people for no reason or wanton arrests?!"

"Who do you think Chen is? Do I still go back and forth?"

Chen Fang was a little annoyed, seeing Jiao Shun staring at him closely, looking like he would not give up until he reached his goal, but he was too lazy to tangle with him, and simply said: "Okay, then I, Chen Fang, will swear in public that I will never leave the door today. There will never be incidents of unprovoked wounding by officers and soldiers, and wanton arrests! If you violate this oath, all humans and gods will perish!"
