Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 369 Protest March
The gate of Nanjing Guozijian.

The mighty Nanjing Guozijian Jiansheng held various protest banners and shouted slogans from the Guozijian.

The leader is Qian Qianqiu, the nephew of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, and Qian Qianqiu, the supervisor of the Imperial College.

After Qian Qianqiu got the decree promulgated by the imperial court from his uncle Qian Qianyi, he immediately followed his uncle's instructions and quickly gathered a large number of Imperial College students to protest against the imperial decree by virtue of his extensive network of friends.

This kind of protest has been going on for almost a week now, and today Qian Qianyi, who is not very satisfied with the effect, issued a new order again, and Qian Qianqiu has prepared a big job.

A group of protesting students followed the usual path to the streets of Nanjing City, protesting loudly all the way towards the Yingtian government office.

Protesting where the prison students passed by caused a crowd of onlookers.

Quite a few ordinary people who had nothing to do, kowtowed melon seeds and stood by the roadside, discussing it one after another.

A waiter with three moles on his face was leaning against the door of his inn, watching the passing protesters, and suddenly asked the shopkeeper and waiter who were also out to watch the excitement, "Hey, shopkeeper, tell me, what are these scholars doing these days?" What are you protesting for?"

The shopkeeper wearing a shopkeeper's hat glanced at the crowd of protesters who were gradually going away and said with disdain: "Hey! What else could it be? The levels are not discussed together, each discusses its own."

"Isn't that good? Don't those reading gentlemen hate others to treat them with the big soldiers? It's not good, why should we protest?" Xiao Er was puzzled.

The shopkeeper replied with a sneer: "It's fine if we just separate, but it's different if we talk about each other. Just separate, according to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, civil officials are still one level older than military officials. If you meet him, no matter what rank you are in the soldier, you still have to bow to the officials and be low-key.

But if it’s different, hehe…”

The shopkeeper sneered twice.

Xiao Er hurriedly asked: "Then what?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him, then raised his voice and said: "If everyone talks about their own opinions, then those soldiers will never be humble when they see these officials and lords who study, because they will not be friends with each other from now on. Interference, no matter how old the civil servants are, no matter how small the soldiers are, the officials are not qualified to control the soldiers, even if these soldiers commit crimes, the yamen can't control them, but the governor of the five armies to judge.

These civil servants will no longer be able to overwhelm the soldiers and dominate them. You said that these scholars who are used to serving as soldiers, can they be willing? "

"Ah! That's the way it is. I don't care if these scholars react so strongly. I heard that Mr. Zhang's family in the east of the city relies on its relationship with the yamen. Every year during the season of spring plowing and autumn harvest, the city guards are sent to give him If the yamen can no longer control the soldiers in the future, then Master Zhang’s family will have no free labor, no wonder they are so excited.” Xiao Er suddenly realized.

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "That's it. In the final analysis, these are all interests. Okay, I don't want to see what time it is. I'm still lazy here. Why don't you clean the table quickly? If you let me The guests left because the table was not clean, see if I pull your skin!"

As the shopkeeper said, he directly slapped the account book on Xiaoer's head, and Xiaoer hurriedly flattered and complimented him: "Hey, shopkeeper, please be gentle, I'll go right away, I'll go right away..."

Xiao Erma slipped in, and the shopkeeper was indeed still standing at the door, glancing at the crowd of Imperial College in the distance, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's a good day for you to bully our Wufu It's finally over, the Holy Son of Heaven is coming, and you still want to bully us, you are looking for death, just wait, you will definitely not end well!"

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper snorted again, turned around and entered the inn.

The owner of the inn was also a member of the army when he was young, but he was unwilling to be a leading soldier in the city for the rest of his life. Now he is the shopkeeper of this inn.

But even though he has left the guard, he has been a soldier for a day and will be a soldier all his life, he still regards himself as a member of the guard, and looks down on those scholars who care about people all day long but don't do anything about human affairs.

……

……

"Protest! Protest! Protest!
Oppose the imperial decree that is not in line with the ancestral system, resolutely protest, and will not be implemented! "

"I oppose the separation of civil and martial arts! I oppose the non-involvement of each other, and I oppose the fact that warriors are separated from the control of scholars!"

Snapped!
"Hey, why did you hit me?"

"Idiot, just know the last one in your heart, don't shout out, hey!"

"oh oh!"

"I oppose imperial edicts that are not in line with the ancestral system, I oppose the separation of civil and military theories, and I oppose the non-involvement of each other!"

"I oppose the imperial decree that is not in line with the ancestral system, and I oppose the separation of civil and military! I oppose that they do not involve each other!"

……

The protest parade shouted protest slogans and approached the Yingtian government office step by step. The surrounding people all watched it as a scene of excitement. This was because this scene had been going on for several days. Everyone knew that these scholars would only gather like this Shouting together didn't pay much attention.

Yingtianfu Yazhong.

Liu Yuyou, governor of Yingtian Mansion, was walking up and down the hall of the mansion with an anxious expression on his face, and behind him there were three chairs with two people sitting on them.

The two are Cao Huachun, the eunuch currently guarding Nanjing, and Wang Yongguang, Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, who is attached to the military affairs counselor.

Liu Yuyou, the governor of Nanjing, walked around the hall anxiously alone, but Cao Huachun and Wang Yongguang were just the opposite, drinking tea and chatting there calmly.

Liu Yuyou couldn't understand why the two superiors were so calm when the protests from the students of the Imperial College outside were approaching Yingtian Mansion, and they walked back and forth twice. Wang Yongguang said: "Eunuch Cao! Wang Shangshu, what time is this? You two are still in the mood to drink tea here. The protesting crowd outside is almost here. Now is not the time to drink tea. You Can you two have some snacks?"

Cao Huachun and Wang Yongguang looked at each other when they heard the words, and then they all smiled. The two declined, and finally Wang Yongguang put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be anxious, why don't you sit down and drink tea with us? The newly sent Biluochun from Hangzhou is the best, with a sweet and mellow taste, which is endless aftertaste."

Hearing the words, Liu Yuyou wanted to stomp his feet, waved his hands upsetly and said, "Wang Shangshu, how can I be in the mood to drink tea now! Look at the situation outside, don't you two feel anxious?"

Cao Huachun took a sip of the tea in the cup, put it down slowly, and then said with a smile, "Master Liu is too excited, but it's just some uninterested scholars making a fuss, nothing serious will happen."

Liu Yuyou was impatient, and said, "No big deal will happen yet! Eunuch Cao, I have heard about it. It was only yesterday in Hangzhou that the protesting students almost rushed into the Hangzhou government office. The beast town at the gate of the government office Being pushed, isn’t this a big deal?”

Cao Huachun said disdainfully: "Those kids dare to run rampant outside the government office, do you think they dare to rush in? They don't have the guts!"

Liu Yuyou asked back: "What if they rushed in today?"

Cao Huachun's face suddenly darkened, and he said with a gloomy face: "That is the rebellious officials and thieves. For your Majesty, our family will kill all these rebellious officials and thieves!"

"hiss!"

Liu Yuyou gasped, and said to himself, "This damn eunuch has such a vicious heart!"

But I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, guessing that these students should not have the guts to dare to attack the government office.

So he said: "Eunuch Cao, those are all very famous students!"

Cao Huachun sneered and said: "Our family cares about what he is, and anyone who dares to attack the government office, no matter what their identity is, is provoking Daming's majesty, and they will all be dealt with according to their intention to rebel! Come and kill one, come and kill a pair. A pair!"

Liu Yuyou trembled when he heard the words, and quickly turned to look at Wang Yongguang.

"Wang Shangshu..."

Wang Yongguang waved his hand and said: "I believe that the students of the Guozijian still know how to behave. If not, they are only to blame, and I can't protect them. The majesty of the court is inviolable. As the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, I must To maintain the face of the imperial court, no favoritism is allowed!"

Liu Yuyou, who had heard about the reputation of this upright official, gave up and could only secretly pray that the students outside would know something.

However, things in the world often do not proceed according to human will, on the contrary, they often happen to the bad side.

Just as Liu Yuyou was praying secretly, there was a loud noise outside!
boom!
Immediately afterwards, the terrified exclamation of the yamen servant resounded through the entire yamen.

"It's not good! The students of Guozijian attacked the government office! They used gunpowder to blow open the gate of the government office!!!"

boom!
Hearing this, Liu Yuyou's brain went blank, and then he felt his eyes go dark, and he said in secret, that he fell down and fainted. He couldn't accept this sudden bad news for a while. I fell into a coma on the spot!
