My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 408 Blood flows into a river

  Chen Daowen went in a hurry.

  Zhang Anshi summoned Chen Li and the others again, and ordered: "Jin Yiwei should not act rashly, but beware of youngsters who take the opportunity to plunder the people. And the East Palace and the Forbidden City, I have taken care of them, and nothing can go wrong."

  Chen Li hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, what you mean by plundering the common people... Which common people are these common people?"

  Zhang Anshi glared at him, his eyes seemed to scold him for being stupid, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course they are real people."

   "Oh, oh, I understand the humbleness." Chen Li hurriedly saluted.

  Zhang Anshi ordered again: "Besides...all the city gates and ferry crossings have been stared at by me, and some places should be searched in particular."

   As he spoke, Zhang Anshi gave Chen Li a meaningful look.

  Chen Li said solemnly: "Understood."

   "Okay." Only then did Zhang Anshi calm down again, and said, "Prepare my chariot and horses later, and send more guards. I see...it's not too early, and I should go to the palace to have an audience."

  Chen Li did not forget to worry: "Your Highness...be careful."

   "Don't worry." Zhang Anshi smiled, but then straightened his face and sighed: "It's time to settle the score."

   As he spoke, he waved his hand, Chen Li understood, and left.

  ...

  At this moment in the capital, the gates of mansions everywhere were closed.

   Jinyiwei began to appear one by one, and then, a Jinyiwei captain with a knife appeared in front of Liu Zhan's mansion.

  As soon as Jin Yiwei appeared, he went to knock on the door.

   "Open the door, open the door."

  The concierge quietly opened the door to reveal a gap, and saw a guy in a fish suit outside, he said tremblingly: "What...what is it..."

  The captain said: "I was ordered to protect Liu Xueshi's home, there is nothing wrong with it, did anyone rush in, and was anyone injured?"

  The concierge shook his head and said: "No...no. But there are rioters outside, ladies and young masters, I am very worried...they...they..."

The school lieutenant immediately said: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu has specifically explained that although there is some chaos in the city now, Bachelor Zhou is a pillar of the court, and he must protect Zhou no matter what. I will protect you outside." Come on, don't panic."

  The porter nodded, closed the door, and hurried into the inner house to report.

  Liu Xin, the eldest son of Liu Zhan, felt a little relieved when he heard that Jinyiwei had arrived, and cursed: "These damned rioters are so audacious, how dare they make trouble..."

After scolding angrily, he ordered people: "Tell them, you don't need to move the gold and silver in the warehouse away, it's safer to stay at home now. There should be no problem with Jin Yiwei guarding outside. These Jin Yiwei's dog legs, There’s still something about that.”

  Turning to ask the porter: "How many troops are here in Jinyiwei..."

  The concierge said: "It seems to be one."

   "One...one..." Liu Xin frowned and muttered.

  He stood where he was, stunned.

   At this moment, there was already a crowd of people coming towards the house.

  Among the crowd, everyone was furious, and when they arrived in front of Liu's house, they saw a notice posted in front of the door, above which was a notice from Jinyiwei, which sternly warned not to enter by mistake.

  Everyone was furious, and someone shouted: "This is Liu Zhan's mansion, but he won't give me a way out."

  As soon as this remark was made, the crowd exploded instantly and flocked to the door.

  The captain in Jinyi who was standing in front of the door ran away for tens of feet along the wall, and disappeared at the corner of the street after a while.

  Boom boom boom...

  The door knocked loudly.

  No one opened the door.

   Those with flexible hands and feet can climb over the wall and enter.

  More people knocked the door open.

   Then, countless people poured in.

  Amidst the outrageous anger, everything that the Liu Mansion passed was destroyed.

  When the servants in the mansion saw it, they covered their heads in fear and ran away.

On the contrary, Liu Xin was bold. He rushed forward with two brothers and a few loyal servants, and shouted viciously: "This is the residence of the scholar of the Imperial Academy. You are so daring, you are not afraid of death!" ?"

  It’s fine if he doesn’t say this, so he opened his mouth to say it.

  Among the crowd, someone swung the pickaxe directly, and when the pickaxe went down, Liu Xin let out an uh, and fell into a pool of blood.

   Liu Xin howled like a pig.

  The remaining loyal servants immediately dispersed.

  Only his two brothers wanted to leave, but they were stopped in time.

  Among the crowd, the leader shouted: "Both the left and the right are dead. Your surname Liu wants us to die. If we kill one, it will be enough for us. If we kill two, we will not lose."

   Liu Xin's thigh was directly nailed by the pickaxe, bleeding profusely, wailing in his mouth: "My father... my father... wait for my father to come..."

   But before the words were finished, a group of angry people rushed forward, and the three brothers continued to scream.

  A moment later, someone knelt down, and he saw the three brothers of the Liu family lying on the ground in the distance, motionless, their faces pale with fright.

This man kept begging for mercy: "Forgive me, spare my life, my heroes... The little one is just the steward of the Liu family, just a mere steward... If the heroes want to plunder, the Liu family... has money, and some money... It's all in the treasury Here, just take it, heroes, spare your life!"

   Despite the large number of people here, it is obviously very organized. This is also the difference between farmers and craftsmen.

  Most farmers are just self-sufficient and live their own lives. The artisans and laborers need to participate in the production collectively and need to carry out an effective division of labor. Although they rioted in anger, they are clearly organized. Someone is responsible for maintaining the order of the artisans and laborers to ensure that no innocent people are hurt. Someone is responsible for guiding and clarifying goals. Someone is responsible for setting off the atmosphere, and someone is responsible for opening the way.

   At this time, many people subconsciously looked at one person.

  This man obviously works as a bookkeeper in the workshop. Although he was among the crowd excitedly, he has been watching with a cold eye. Among the craftsmen and laborers, he has quite a prestige.

  At the moment, he said: "Call a few people to open the warehouse, tell the big guys, don't loot it, Li San, Wang Ke, you two, and a few brothers, are responsible for guarding here, and Wu Xiucai and I will go and count.

  As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately said yes.

  They are people with a family and business, not the kind of refugees who have nothing.

  Not so long ago, they had a good salary, a shelter from the wind and rain, married a wife, and their children were studying in school.

   What's more, before coming here, various pamphlets have already taught people what to do and what not to do, and there are people who are responsible for maintaining order. Of course, they also know that making trouble is making trouble, and looting is looting.

  So at that moment, everyone dispersed, and another group rushed to the treasury.

   This accountant and another person named Wu Xiucai began to enter the warehouse and start counting.

   Just stepping in, I was also taken aback.

   Soon, they found the account book, looked down at the account book, and the accountant only glanced at it, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and said: "Interesting... really interesting..."

  Wu Xiucai couldn't help coming up curiously: "Why..."

   "Look at these accounts."

  Wu Xiucai is also an insider, with a glance, he suddenly knew the details.

   Immediately his face tensed, and he said: "I will be responsible for transcribing a copy and sending it to the Jinyiwei. You continue to count here."

   "Okay." The accountant responded, but then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "That's right, you just throw the notebook in front of the nearest Jinyiwei Qianhu Office and leave."

  Wu Xiucai said: "Of course I understand."

  These two are also scholars, but they were born in poverty, and the imperial examinations are too heavy. Although they have fame, it is difficult to make a living. At first, they had to find a job in Qixia.

  Although the Taiping Mansion was denounced by scholars as a place of corrupt morals, in fact, knowledge is valued here instead.

The main reason is that there are too many workshops and merchants, and a large number of people who can write, calculate, and are good at management are needed. As soon as these two down-and-out scholars arrived in Taiping Mansion, they immediately found an errand, and soon became the leaders of the workshop. Important people receive higher salaries and work leisurely every day, everyone respects them.

  At this time, if they are taught to be unemployed, it is absolutely impossible. Although their salaries are high, they have already bought property in Qixia, their children are still studying, and their daily expenses are not small. All the ups and downs are pointing at them.

  So, when my boss and them combined, they were the most active people. They made plans in private, arranged manpower, organized secretly, and incited craftsmen and labor.

  In fact, in the eyes of many people, what broke out today is the conflict between scholars, gentry, merchants, and craftsmen. Rather, it is a duel between scholars.

The latter scholars, because they did not wear the traditional Lunjin Confucian shirts, no longer speak of literary and literary words. After all, under the influence of commercial firms and workshops, they are no longer the same as before, and only deal with scholars. Behavior has undergone many changes.

   But in fact, they have read a lot of books, and they may not be without fame.

  This kind of people are meticulous in thinking, plus they have experience in organizational engineering and labor force, they are more familiar with all kinds of allusions, and they are proficient in the law, so they do things very well, and when they do things, they often consider everything.

Soon, Wu Xiucai took a notebook and left Liu's house. The house was still in a mess, and he walked out of the long street in one breath, and saw that the street was full of people. .

It's not just Qixia's troubles, the capital's business has also become prosperous in the past two years, and this time it has also been affected, not only craftsmen and labor, but also ordinary shops, and many people hired by the shops , and at this time they also took action one after another.

  Almost all the shops were closed, and many mansions in Beijing were surrounded by people.

  The servants of Yingtianfu disappeared without a trace, and none of the Jin Yiwei was found. As for the officers and soldiers, there seemed to be no trace of them.

Under the noise, Wu Xiucai's footsteps were steady. Although there were waves of people passing by him, but when everyone saw that the clothes Wu Xiucai was wearing were the work clothes of Qixia Dalong Iron and Steel Workshop, no one gave him trouble. , Someone even made way for him.

  ...

  In a deep house...

  At this time, someone came in a hurry with panic.

   "It's terrible, it's terrible, have you heard the news? There are troublemakers everywhere..."

   This panicked voice broke the silence here.

   It's still where it used to be.

   Only this time, not many people came. After all, this is the time for duty, and many people are still on duty in the government office.

   Some people asked for leave, so they hurried over.

  Everyone turned to the person surnamed Wu and said, "This must be...it must be..."

The man surnamed Wu frowned, pressed his hands and said: "Okay, don't panic, don't panic at all. This matter is too strange, but...someone dares to do such a reckless thing, the old man doesn't believe it, and the court doesn't care about him! They Do you want the Zhu family's country...do you want it?"

  Everyone is still in shock.

   Someone sighed with concern, "I just came from the Ministry of War, and Jin Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of War, only wrote the following, ordering the guards in the capital to strengthen their precautions, and there is no intention to quell the chaos."

   "It seems that we should be waiting for His Majesty's will. Without His Majesty's will, who would dare to move now..."

   Everyone whispered and discussed in a low voice.

  But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

  Someone came in in a panic and said: "Master, master, it's terrible, it's terrible, someone is coming, killing is coming..."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed.

  No one expected that someone would dare to come here.

  So, everyone got up one after another, trying to escape in a panic.

  Ke came to humanity and said: "There are people in the front, back, left, and right... There is nowhere to go."

   It doesn't take a moment.

   Then I saw a crowd of people entering the hall.

  One person shouted at them: "You troublemakers, do you know who the owner of this room is?"

"It's you who are looking for! Don't be polite. Before the man surnamed Zhou was beaten to death, he had confessed that it was the owner of the family who told him to make a lot of comments and criticize the New Deal. If you are your mother, we will rely on our strength to make a living. You These things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, don’t do production on weekdays, open their mouths when they eat, and don’t say anything when they wear clothes. Do you still think that we exchange blood and sweat for money to live in your eyes? If you want to dress and eat, we should suffer Hungry and cold? Hit!"

   All of a sudden, the anger ignited instantly.

  The person surnamed Wu never expected that he, who was strategizing and making upheavals, would be taken away from his home by a group of unscrupulous people.

In the past, these people, in front of him, he didn't even bother to look at them, even his own servants were much higher than these lowly people, but now, someone rushed forward and grabbed him .

   And only then did he realize that he was so powerless.

You know, in the past, with just one look from him, these troublemakers would bow their heads and obey their ears, but now, he realizes that these people are extremely powerful, as long as he pulls his skirt, he is like a kite with a broken string, swaying along with it , Then, the big slap of the cattail fan slapped him on the face.

   This slap was full of calluses, very rough, and when it was slapped, it was like a knife scraping on the face of the person surnamed Wu.

   "Ah..." the person surnamed Wu wailed.

   But his wailing did not attract attention. Because beside him, there were already a few people in shawls and Confucian shirts, howling like killing a pig.

   "The world is dead, the world is dead..." Someone cried out while screaming in despair.

  The heart-piercing sound was quickly interrupted by the following screams.

  ...

   "Your Majesty..."

  Yi Shiha hurried into Wenlou.

  Yi Shiha has been here four times.

  Every time, there are more urgent matters to report.

  The situation is very urgent, and the situation is like fire and water.

  But every time he came, Zhu Di kept his face calm, and only pressed his hands and said: "I want to read, don't bother me."

"But…"

  Zhu Di's eyes moved away from the book, and then fell on Yishiha's anxious face.

  Zhu Di's gaze was calm, but Yi Shiha was taken aback, and immediately retreated.

   And this time, it was Yishiha who came in for the fourth time: "Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di finally put down the book in his hand.

  On the cover of this book, the word "Spring and Autumn" is impressively written.

  Zhu Di said with a bit of annoyance: "You guys, I really don't worry about it. I can't do anything in this world without me? I just want to be quiet for a while, read books, and calm down. Come on, what's the matter?"

  Yi Shiha patted, bowed down directly, lowered his head, and said first: "Your servant will die."

  Afterwards, Yi Shihacai said: "There are people making trouble outside, and at the East Factory, I noticed that there are so many people making trouble, everywhere...everywhere..."

   "Yeah." Zhu Di still looked calm, just nodded and said: "I don't choose a good time to make troubles. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so it's a disappointment."

  Yi Shiha: "..."

  Yi Shiha suddenly felt that he was out of words.

  But Zhu Di took a look at Yi Shiha, and said again: "What else?"

  Yi Shiha had no choice but to hurriedly said: "And... and... the ministries of various ministries, as well as Jiuqing, have all arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, and together with the great scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, I hope to have an audience with Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter with them?"

   "This..." Yi Shiha said: "It should be because of the chaos. Mr. Hu said that the civil uprising has already happened, and there are thousands of people in chaos... If the court doesn't suppress it, blood will flow like a river..."

   "Is the blood flowing like a river?" Zhu Di continued to ask.

  Yi Shiha wrinkled his face and said: "This... this... slave... slave received the report from Dongchang, but many people were affected, and many people died..."

Zhu Di said: "A lot? Then this counts as a few, and it is also called a river of blood? Hu Guang, he is stupid in reading, and has never seen a real river of blood. Back then... I remember the case of Hu Weiyong At that time, that was the real river of blood flowing! Oh, and Jingnan, the Hutuo River and the Battle of Beiping, it was called blood flowing into a river! At that time, there were really piles of corpses, and the nearby rivers were all dyed red gone."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he shook his head and said with emotion: "It's only been a few years, and some people have already forgotten it. It seems that the world has been at peace for a long time, and some people have even compared my Ming Dynasty and how my country came to be. Yes, they have forgotten."

  Yi Shiha raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di. He was originally anxious, but after hearing what Zhu Di said, his eyes became meaningful.

   At this time, he also smiled and said: "Yes, what His Majesty reprimanded is that Hu Gong has such a temperament, and he loves to exaggerate."

  ...

   Ask for a monthly pass.
