Chapter Eighty-Six: Breaking into the Palace

The three factories and one guard surrounded the right gate of Chang'an and climbed the drum tower, surrounded a group of officials and soldiers in the center, and the sword was unsheathed with great momentum. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and a group of scholars and civil officials were also suddenly excited, chanting slogans, pushing and shouting without putting the factory guards in their eyes.

Because they are scholars, scholars, gossip officials, and the "righteousness" of the world.

What's more, because they don't think the factory guards dare to take so many of them. If you can take a few hits of the "Dengxian Staff" (court staff), you can immediately become famous, and spread the name to the ears of the court bosses and the gentry of the world, with the name of "integrity", which is a lifetime of "illustrious resume".

But when the palace gate of the inner city began to close slowly, and a group of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor began to appear around the palace gate in full armor, the scholars began to notice that something was wrong.

Where is this attitude towards the advice of scholars? This is the rhythm of counterinsurgency!

All the Qingliu officials and scholars were suddenly stupid, and their faces turned pale one by one. The imperial court is indeed treating scholars and officials well, and they are not guilty. At most, if you go to prison for a few days and be beaten to the board, you can gain a reputation as "not afraid of power and defend the way", but when it comes to rebellion, it's another matter!

If it weren't for the hope of the cabinet and the bigwigs in the court to save each other, maybe the crowd would have begun to collapse at this time.

After all, they acquiesced and even instigated this, and they just hoped to charge forward for them and create some pressure and public opinion, so as to force the emperor to change his course and return to the right path of "Ming Jun". I've never thought of rebellion!

But where does this posture look like dealing with ordinary scholars making trouble? Does the civil servant petition need to transfer the Imperial Horse Warden? Need to block the Nine Gates?

At this moment, the news that outside the right gate of Chang'an, the Qing rumor official and some scholars beat the drum, but were surrounded by a large number of factory guards in the middle, reached the cabinet. The cabinet elders were dumbfounded—what kind of trouble is this?

"Could there be some misunderstanding here?" The new cabinet elder Wang Wei asked carefully.

"But now that the inside and outside are closed, and the news is not available, I don't know what happened to our Emperor Majesty?" Yang Tinghe said angrily.

"It's really not normal, speaking of which, even if the scholars beat the Dengwen drum, how could it not make the inner court so nervous!" Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the Eight Tigers are talking about the emperor's side again?" “

"So what now?" Liang Chu was the most anxious, originally this matter was proposed by him, but now that there is such a big basket, if something happens, how can he explain it to the government and the opposition?

As soon as Liang Chu's voice fell, all the elders turned their eyes to Li Dongyang. Who called him the first assistant, an old minister of the Three Dynasties?

"In any case, we have to see the emperor first, and the rest can be delayed, but the misunderstanding must be clarified first. Otherwise, there will be many long nights and dreams, and the misunderstanding will become bigger and bigger, and then it will be out of control? After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he looked at the rest of the cabinet elders.

"I have to see the emperor first." Yang Tinghe nodded in agreement.

"What can I do with counseling? Isn't it a sign that we are admitting defeat? "Wang Wei has been the imperial historian of the capital, and he is a master who has never hit the south wall and never looked back.

"It should be admonished or how to admonish, but the emperor can't be misunderstood, so that those traitors can take advantage of it. And those officials and scholars want to save. Yang Tinghe waved his hand.

Li Dongyang was about to speak, but was preempted by Yang Tinghe. His mouth moved, and he sighed slightly and stopped talking. Only Jiao Fang didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"Let's go!" After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he walked out of the cabinet first. The rest of the elders followed closely. Only Li Dongyang and Jiao Fang lagged behind.

"Shousuke-sama, are you really going to break into the palace?" Jiao Fang deliberately followed behind Li Dongyang and asked carefully.

"Naturally!" Li Dongyang replied. Jiao Fang sighed, opened his mouth but didn't speak, and could only follow his cabinet colleagues to the leopard room.

At this time, the palace gate was closed, and it was originally forbidden for anyone to enter or leave. But the elders of the Rank Pavilion are exceptions, they have royal tokens, and there is no hindrance to enter and exit. When the eunuch guarding the door saw the token, he didn't dare to stop it, and opened a crack in the door slightly, and let the old man of the Rank Pavilion go out of the palace gate.

When Li Dongyang and the others walked outside the palace gate, they found that the officials of the six ministries and nine qing, and even the yamen officials of various ministries had actually come, standing outside the Forbidden City, and the darkness was overwhelming.

Li Dongyang and other cabinet elders are not old men in the political arena who have been through storms for a long time. Now when I saw this situation, my face changed. If you bring so many officials to the leopard room together, it will not be entering the palace, but forcing the palace!

Yang Tinghe walked in front, and at this time, he was already standing in front of several ministers with a pale face and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" Don't you even understand this? The voice was small, but full of anger.

How could a few ministers not understand?

Zhang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said with a wry smile: "It's not what we want, it's really a last resort!" The rest of the ministers all nodded.

"Who forced it?" Yang Tinghe's words were full of murderous energy.

Several Shangshu smiled bitterly and looked back at the large number of officials who were following behind.

"You guys...?" Yang Ting and his lungs were about to explode.

But whether it is the elders of the cabinet or the members of the various ministries, they can't stop it, no matter what kind of mind everyone brings here, there is at least an unassailable reason: "To Jun Yao Shun, righteousness and reason!" ”

However, this lid cannot be opened, whether it is the cabinet elders, the ministry, or the civil officials, the Qingliu Imperial History, and even the emperor. No matter how much selfishness there is inside, whoever uncovers it will violate the interests of all the scholars in the world, and that is their skin. Without this skin, why should they fight? Why do you point fingers at others?。。 ,

Just when the cabinet elders were just about to leave the palace, Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Mao, the British Gong, and Xue Yihai, the Marquis of Yongcheng, were already kneeling in front of Zhengde with sweat.

"Do you want to rebel?" Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon chair in the council hall, looked coldly at the three nobles below who were in charge of the five military governors' mansions, as well as the key points in Beijing, and asked softly.

The voice was very soft, and in the ears of the three noble ministers who were resting with the country, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the sky! At once, the three noble ministers who were ranked in the superb, and the generations of wealth and glory were shocked.

"Don't dare!" The three nobles kowtowed together and denied it, and the sweat on their heads was already rolling down.

Zhengde also believed that they were not going to rebel at this time, and if they rebelled, how would they dare to enter the palace. Isn't that sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger?

"Then why do you collude with Wenchen and form a party for personal gain. What do you want to do? Zhengde asked angrily.

"The ministers are wronged, I hope the emperor will see it!" The three nobles will be soaked with sweat and soaked their brocade clothes. This crime cannot be carried out under any circumstances. If you have a heavy back, you will lose all your titles and be suspicious of the emperor for a lifetime.

"What's going on with the Dengwen drum, I actually let a group of powerless civil officials and scholars break through and beat the Dengwen drum, is it trying to force me to comply?

"How dare the ministers have such a rebellious idea, the ministers must investigate in detail and give Your Majesty an explanation!" A few nobles said it categorically. Do you know if you have done it yourself? So there is no fear of tracking down at all.
