Chapter 299: This Is Going to Cause Trouble (Part I)

As mentioned above, the distance between the Imperial Inspectorate and the Yamen of the Nancheng Branch Office is not far away, so Fan Hongdao and more than 100 people did not take much time to come to the gate of the Inspectorate.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw this battle, they flew in as if they were flying. At this moment, Guo Shengming, the imperial historian of the city, was reading the official document in the hall, and he was a little stunned, he had been an official for more than ten years, and he had never encountered such a thing.

What does it mean that an official leading more than 100 people to another yamen to discuss the law? Guo Yushi thought carefully for a moment, Fan Hongdao is trying to make trouble, could it be that he wants to coerce the public opinion and use the people to force himself to submit?

After thinking of this, Guo Yushi felt that Fan Hongdao was really half a bottle of vinegar, and this person's understanding of some rules seemed to be only scratching the surface. Do you really think that it is useful to gather more than 100 people at random? A large number of people does not necessarily mean that power will be formed.

In order to succeed in coercing public opinion, there is a prerequisite for the people's desire and a common hatred. If the public really hates and dislikes Guo Shengming, then Fan Hongdao can easily stir up the emotions of the people, and maybe there is still some possibility of success in forcing himself to conform to the law.

But this is obviously not the case at present, he Guo Shengming has not yet mixed up to the point where the people's grievances are boiling, and the people's demands are nothing more than just wanting to complain, what can Fan Hongdao do under this premise? How much wind and waves can he manipulate?

This kind of painless action seems to be completely ineffective, so Guo Yushi secretly laughed at Fan Hongdao in his heart, and then ordered unhurriedly: "Don't ignore him, close the gate of the procuratorate, whatever Fan Hongdao says, forbid them to come in." ”

In short, it's pretending not to see. Guo Yushi felt that as long as he ignored Fan Hongdao, Fan Hongdao would have no singing, and if they met, there might be an incident, and it was the best policy not to give Fan Hongdao a chance to make trouble!

The street was crowded with people, and at the front of the crowd was Fan Hongdao, and in front of Fan Hongdao was the gate of the Inspectorate. After passing in, the reply I got was that Guo Yushi didn't see anyone today, which meant that they were all turned away.

Now the question is what to do next? Everyone looked at Master Fan's book, and your Lord Fan angrily took everyone to the procuratorate to deliver the report, but you couldn't even enter the door, and now you Lord Fan must give an explanation, you can't take everyone to run errands in vain.

Fan Hongdao stood outside the gate of the courtyard for a moment, and walked towards the entrance of the alley without saying a word, and everyone gathered up, half asking and half playful, shouting: "What is the situation now? ”

Fan Hongdao waved his hand and said to everyone: "You guys come with me!"

Someone asked, "Where are you going?"

Fan Hongdao smiled "fiercely", gritted his teeth and said: "Since the procuratorate refuses to take care of your more than 100 cases, this official will take you to beat the drum!"

The people of the capital knew what the Dengwen drum was, so everyone was immediately shocked.

Dengwen drum is set up outside the right gate of the imperial city of Chang'an, theoretically if the people have major grievances can not be resolved, they can go to beat the Dengwen drum when they are desperate, which is equivalent to suing the emperor, and has the meaning of listening to the heavens. Of course, Dengwen drums are not something that people can beat casually, and sometimes the consequences of beating the drums are also very serious, and they will be sent to exile at every turn.

Although these people outside the procuratorate have to sue, they can have time to accompany Fan Hongdao in circles, which shows that most of them are civil disputes, similar to land, debts, marriages and other affairs. Knocking on the drums for this kind of thing, it's a bit of a fuss, is it really the imperial court to eat dry rice?

Could it be that Master Fan was crazy and actually shouted to beat the drum? Everyone thought in unison.

Fan Hongdao glanced at everyone, "What? Are you all scared? It was the official who played the drum himself, and he didn't tell you to go up, what are you afraid of? Don't you even have the courage to follow and see?"

Everyone was right when they thought about it, if Fan Hongdao started beating the drum, what if they went to watch it? One of the several major political correctness of the Ming Dynasty was that it was people-oriented, and the law did not blame the people, and it was the pro-people officials who took them there, and the court board could not hit them.

The people of the capital are well-informed and not afraid of things, so it was Fan Hongdao who took the lead, and more than 100 people followed, and they went to the northwest in a mighty way. It is estimated that it will not take half an hour to reach the Xuanwu Gate, and then enter the inner city from the Xuanwu Gate to the right gate of Chang'an.

Of course, there are ears and eyes to report what is happening outside the gate of the procuratorate. Therefore, after Fan Hongdao shouted out to beat the drum, Guo Yushi immediately knew it inside, and he was also surprised, what kind of madness did Fan Hongdao have?

Who in the court doesn't know that the symbolic meaning of the Dengwen drum is greater than the actual meaning, but this belongs to the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao, who pays attention to the people's livelihood, and it cannot be removed legally. Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the imperial court, he doesn't take Dengwen Drum too seriously.

Fan Hongdao, a chief bookkeeper official, led more than 100 people under his rule to run over and beat the drum, this is absolutely nothing to do, and it must be taken the initiative to die! Guo Yushi really wanted to say to Fan Hongdao, it is understandable that you want to make trouble, but what is the use of such a self-defeating method?

Guo Yushi can fully deduce the next plot, more than 100 people gathered outside the imperial city is eye-catching enough, not to mention that there are officials who take the lead in beating the drum, which is simply a slap in the face of the court.

The first consequence is bound to be a high-level shock; the second consequence is that regardless of the 3721, the leading officials will inevitably be dealt with severely, and it is inevitable that they will lose their posts and be dismissed; and the third consequence will be that the imperial court will find out the ins and outs of the matter, and the truth will be fooled or confused, and an official explanation will be given to the people of the world.

After the deduction was over, Guo Yushi suddenly felt that something was wrong. The high-level of the imperial court is just the Son of Heaven and the cabinet, that is the basic plate of Shen Shoufu, what is the nature of the matter of beating the drum, the final interpretation power is largely in the hands of Shen Shoufu, and it is not impossible to be interpreted as the master of the people.

The Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to literati, did not have a tradition of killing officials, and was not particularly guilty of rebellion or direct anger against the Son of Heaven, and the most serious punishment was often the dismissal of officials. But what kind of broken official is Fan Hongdao? A former supervisor is just the acting chief bookkeeper, what's the pity of losing it? Even he doesn't care, right?

Thinking of this, Guo Yushi suddenly couldn't sit still, if he wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, then he, the Imperial History of the Southern City Patrol, would not be able to escape! Fan Hongdao first brought more than 100 people to the inspection courtyard first, and then went to beat the drum!

He is the supreme governor of the Nancheng area, and as long as he can't hold on to the affairs of Nancheng, he will definitely be responsible! Again, the right to explain the nature of the matter lies with the cabinet, and he will definitely bear the main responsibility when the time comes!

The more he thought about it, the more Guo Yushi's cold sweat flowed down, he was actually not sure if Fan Hongdao really dared to beat the Dengwen drum, maybe he was deliberately scaring himself? But in any case, Guo Yushi didn't want to face such a risk at all, he couldn't help but scold, did this bastard surnamed Fan really want to make a big deal?
