I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 193 Huo Guang's poisonous plan against Confucian scholars (subscribe)
"Well, Confucian scholars can submit letters, and ordinary people can also submit letters. They haven't triggered the laws of the Han Dynasty yet, and you have already persuaded Xia Houjian. You must know that you can't persuade these people."

Zhang Anshi didn't speak.

Confucian scholars incited the people to fight against the imperial court frequently.

But it was the first time Zhang Anshi saw it.

When he heard it in the past, he always thought that the common people might also have the difficulties of the common people.

But seeing Xia Houjian's appearance today, Zhang Anshi understands that the common people are probably still being instigated more.

"Go back to Beique for the time being, and report something to me. Remember, as long as they don't cross the line, then I can only wait, but once they cross the line, they will definitely be severely punished!"

"only!"

……

In this strange atmosphere, the first day of the virtuous literature petition passed unharmed: at the end of the unitary hour, the Confucian scholars and common people who knelt for a long time finally went back.

This made Zhang Anshi, who had "accompanied" them all day, heaved a sigh of relief.

Kneeling in Beique does not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, but if you still kneel here after the curfew, you will be sent to prison.

Although he knew in his heart that all of this was a trick by Xia Houjian and others.

But there was no bloodshed or death today, which made Zhang Anshi feel a little more at ease.

After everyone left, Huo Yu temporarily withdrew Habayashiro - tomorrow, another group of Habayashiro will be replaced to station here.

Looking at the empty space, Zhang Anshi's tension has not completely dissipated.

He knew that today was just the beginning.

……

Once connected for several days, these Confucian scholars and common people would come to Beique on time every day at Mao hour, and would leave again at You hour.

During this period, nothing happened, and their number seemed to decrease, but the tense atmosphere did not dissipate at all.

As time goes by, this matter will continue to ferment, and eventually spread to farther places in the Han Empire.

And Huo Guang was also waiting, waiting until the morale of Confucian scholars was at its lowest, before giving them a fatal blow.

……

At nightfall on the fifth day, after the Confucian scholars had dispersed, Huo Guang called Huo Yu and Huo Yun to his study.

"Those Confucian scholars have caused enough trouble, and we will deal with them all tomorrow."

"We have already inserted the details into those common people in advance, and they will take the opportunity to make trouble tomorrow." Huo Yun said.

It turned out that Huo Guang had already arranged a plan to deal with Confucian scholars.

"Well, once you make a move, don't show mercy to those traffickers and pawns, but you can be gentle with Confucian scholars, and they can't run far. I have already told Zhi Jinwu that where these Confucian scholars live, it is already determined. There is absolutely no possibility of escape.”

"only!"

After nearly half a month of trouble, this matter is going to have a final end.

……

The next day, Xia Houjian dragged his exhausted body to Beique again.

Looking around, he realized that there were fewer Confucian scholars who came today, and many people who were hired with money also left.

After a cursory glance, the number of people was reduced by half compared to a few days ago.

Not to mention other people, even Xia Houjian's heart began to waver.

"Why are there so many fewer people?" Xia Houjian asked.

"Some of the Confucian scholars fell ill, and some couldn't bear the pain. I went to several people's homes yesterday, and they were all rejected, and they said that they were fooled by me." Hu Chang said indignantly, his lips As soon as he moved, blood came out.

"Those mud legs are even less reliable. They said that kneeling here is harder than doing coolies in the northern city, so they don't want to come. Today I increased the money to [-] yuan to invite these people, and ..."

Yan Gongsun used to have a fair face, but after a few days in the sun, he has turned into a black face.If you are not wearing robes, you can still be distinguished from those around you, otherwise you will be exactly the same as those traffickers.

At this moment, his black face was quite displeased.

"Moreover, for several days in a row, I have to spend [-] yuan every day. The money I waited to collect has almost been used up. In the future, I am afraid that there will be fewer people who are willing to come."

"Mr. Xiahou, the county magistrate and the general clearly did not take me seriously. If we continue to waste time like this, I will have no way out. What should I do next? I ask Mr. Xiahou to come up with an idea!"

Speaking of this, the other two doctoral officers were a little panicked, and they were anxious to ask Xia Houjian to make up his mind. What could he come up with?

Xia Houjian became cruel and decided to make the matter worse.

"Immediately write letters to the great Confucians other than Sanfu, especially the Confucius family in Qufu. The three of us must write to them. We must exaggerate Huo Guang's arrogance and the danger here tens of thousands of times!"

the Kongs! ?
When the other two heard it, they both felt hopeful.

The Confucian family not only had a respected status in the past, but also had the halo of Zhongni's ancestor; in this dynasty, the Confucian family also produced many great Confucianists.

Kong Anguo, who is still alive today, is the most famous person in the big man.

If the Kong family can come forward, then there will definitely be more great Confucianists involved in this matter, and there is still a chance of survival.

"It can't quench thirst from far away. It took half a month to come and go. What should I do in this half a month?" Hu Chang was still worried.

"In the past few days, I can only grit my teeth. Even if there are only the three of us left, I still have to hold on. If I also admit defeat, it will be regarded as the arrival of Mr. Zhong Ni, and the situation here will not be restored. gone."

After some discussion, the three of them knelt down again at the previous place, and the few Confucian scholars and ordinary people who followed them also knelt down.

About half an hour later, Xia Houjian suddenly heard a "plop" sound from behind him.

Looking back, a 50-year-old Confucian scholar fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

In the past few days, such things have happened a lot, so I can only send someone to carry them back.

Xia Houjian waved his hands impatiently and said, "Pick this person down!"

Since there are two younger Confucian scholars, I will lift them up.

Unexpectedly, the two Confucian scholars pushed the man, as if they were shocked by something, they immediately fell to the ground.

"What's so alarming about?"

"Dead...dead."

Finally, there was a fatality!

If it weren't for being afraid of being a hindrance, Xia Houjian would have jumped up immediately.

However, to be happy is to be happy, but you still have to put on a look of grief and indignation.

He immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Huo Guang is domineering, and the county magistrate's ignorance has caused the virtuous literature who talked about things to die in grief and indignation. We must have an explanation!"

After finishing speaking, he and Hu Chang lifted the old man and walked a few steps forward.

His original intention was to put some pressure on Guang Luxun and Zhang Anshi on the opposite side, and he didn't intend to do anything else out of the ordinary.

Unexpectedly, they just stood up on their front feet, and suddenly there was a shout from the group of hired traffickers behind them.

"The imperial court carelessly ignores human lives, and we will fight them!"

"Yes, we fought!"

"The arrows of the officers and soldiers have already been wound, hurry up!"

These shouts made Xia Houjian tremble with fear.

This is going to happen!And something big happened!
He hastily put down the uncooled body of the Confucian scholar, and turned his head to stabilize the situation.

But it was too late.

The people hired with money were all illiterate peddlers and pawns in Beicheng Guoli, and there were quite a few land rogues, who were easy to get hotheaded.

Coupled with the days of exposure to the sun, there was already resentment.

At this moment, it has been incited by a few words.

They screamed and screamed, and rushed towards Habayashiro's line on the opposite side.

For some reason, many people had hidden short weapons on their bodies, and they all took them out at this time.

Those without weapons also picked up stones on the ground and threw them forward while rushing.

……

At the moment when the situation deteriorated, Zhang Anshi immediately saw the clue, and he couldn't help being shocked.

He sighed secretly, and silently said "it's over".

Although there is pity in my heart, Guang Luxun's duty cannot be forgotten.

"General Huo, arrest all the rioters, and if they resist, they will be killed," Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and added, "Try not to hurt people's names."

"only!"

It was these words that Huo Yu was waiting for. He drew the knife at his waist and immediately gave the order.

After the two drumbeats, Habayashi all stood up and stepped up, like a wall, slowly pressing down on the "disorderly people" rushing towards the opposite side.
