In the Song Dynasty, in order to make the way of speech accessible, in addition to those who did not sin the words, they also set up a wide range of systems such as supervision and honest visits. Moreover, the Dengwen Drum was set up in the Beijing Division, and the Dengwen Drum Courtyard and the Dengwen Inspection Institute were specially located to handle the corresponding affairs, and after the southern crossing, it was still the same, the only change was that the Dengwen Drum that was supposed to stand outside the gate of the imperial city was gone.

According to the Song people's Zhou Mi's "Qi Dongye Yu Dengwen Drum" records: "Today's Dengwen Drum Academy, the first minister, has a list of instructions, saying: 'The Yuan Guan Drum side of this Academy, outside the Xuande Gate in Tokyo, was smashed by Chen Dong and others, and never moved here. ’”

It looks like a joke, but the drum is indeed no longer there, and since then there has been one less scene in the capital, and there is a little more peace in the imperial city. However, the Dengwen system has been handed down from the ancestors, and it is still implemented step by step, and if there is really any serious grievance, it can still be heard directly to the heavens.

So on the twenty-eighth day of the seventh month of the first year of Deyou, when hundreds of students flocked to the drum courtyard outside the Donghua Gate, they found that they could not vent their indignation with the sound of drums like their predecessors, and they did not dare to openly attack the gate of the Great Inner Palace, which was guarded by the imperial classes.

"Gathering at the palace gate, what's going on?"

"There are ministers in the court, who want to sell the country, and today everyone knows it, but I don't hear it, we want to write to the saints, in order to punish the country thieves, and clear the king's side."

Hearing the generous statement of the leading Tai student, the two of them were puzzled, and they didn't know what he was doing. However, these hundreds of students were in front of them, and they all looked angry, as if they were about to roll up their sleeves and make a move, and it was useless to be tough, so they could only try their best to appease their feelings, and at the same time hurriedly call someone to inform the ministers.

"Didn't you say let the speaker do it first? How did they know first. ”

The news was quickly sent to the political affairs hall, and Wang Entropy felt bad when he heard it, these students were all stunned, and they didn't care about doing things, and if they didn't do it well, it would backfire, and they would become shooting themselves in the foot.

"A thief and a minister? Who is the thief of the country, and who is the minister. ”

Liu Mengyan only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the matter had been out of his expectations, according to yesterday's agreement, he revealed the news to several officials who were familiar with him, and wanted them to take the lead in the book, so that the matter would be controlled in the court. But now, as soon as the students make a fuss, the whole city will know how to clean up this situation.

"Who else could there be, a few peace envoys, and maybe you and me."

Chen Yizhong interjected without being salty, he was born too much and became famous for doing such things, and now it is his turn to face it, only to find that it is not easy to be in power. Being watched all the time, any mistakes will be magnified, scholars don't know the inside story, and it is impossible to make them willing to obey orders.

But the matter has already happened, regret is useless, while it has not affected the people in the city, we must quickly cut through the mess and calm it down, otherwise if it is instigated by someone with a heart, it will be really out of control.

It is impossible to mobilize troops, when it was like that, the chamberlains killed dozens of people, and the officials did not order the arrest of people, but if you want to persuade, you have to meet some of their conditions and dispose of the ministers in their mouths? No one dared to open this mouth.

"I can't take care of it, you two go to see it first, the old man will go to Ciyuan Palace, the sage must have known, after being appeased, the old man will go to Donghua Gate."

Time is pressing, it is true that there is no room for slow discussion, Chen and Liu do not shirk, now everyone is in the same situation, no matter what, they have to control the matter first. After Wang Entropy waited for them to leave, he sat on the couch and thought about it again, it might not be enough for the prime minister to go out, so he beckoned to a room in the middle of the house.

"You go to the Ministry of Rites, let Chen Jingxing and Wang Yinglin go to Donghua Gate, and then order someone to call Liu Yu, if he is not in the cardinal mansion, he should be at home, no matter where he is, find someone and let them all hurry over."

This accident disrupted Wang Entropy's plan, and it was not difficult to predict that the students would react, but it was not a good thing that they took action so quickly. If the matter can't be controlled in the end, I'm afraid that these three people will inevitably suffer some grievances, and there is no way to do it, so they can only make up for it afterwards.

Wang Entropy guessed correctly, Liu Yu had just returned to the mansion at this time, and when he went out, he actually met the old man he met when he first arrived in Lin'an City.

You know, this is a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and if he hadn't met him today, he would have almost forgotten about this person. However, because the other party acted in a hurry, the two did not have time to communicate too much, Liu Yu ordered someone to follow him to his house, one to see where he lived, and the other to see how he was doing, as for the future, he had not thought so long-term.

Since the occurrence of this small probability event, he has a new understanding of the word "fate", since the two are destined to meet again, maybe it is also some kind of certainty? Jing Niang is also happy about his good mood, the husband has completed the mission, and there is no need to go to the yamen to order the mao, is there a more ideal day than this?

"The second brother sent someone to bring the news, he has set off from Qingyuan Mansion, and he will arrive in Beijing at the day after tomorrow at most."

Jing Niang told him that the news came from Ye Yingji, and most of the people who came entered the city yesterday.

"Is it to send money? Take the waterway. ”

"Well, there are too many cages and too heavy, and the waterway is more convenient, so it's not tight if it's a day and a half late."

Liu Yu guessed that Ye Fu recognized 200 shares, and 200,000 yuan of silver, which is a large sum, even if it is all exchanged for gold, it is a lot, from the perspective of safety, it is indeed the safest to take the waterway.

"That's fine, sell all those properties, now is the best time."

In order to raise so much money, I am afraid that I will sell a lot of good land properties, but this qiē is worth it, because it will be verified soon.

"Husband, but something will happen?"

Jing Niang didn't understand, hadn't the peace agreement been negotiated, anyway, there should be a period of peace, why did the husband keep saying that he was going to fight, which made her really feel a little uneasy.

"Just take precautions, don't worry."

Liu Yu doesn't want to talk to her so carefully now, he knows that his wife is very smart, and he should have a hunch in his heart, but it's enough to be busy alone, and he can hide it for as long as he can, he smiled and patted Jing Niang's hand, ready to change the topic.

"Do you know who I ran into on the street today?"

"How do you know, husband, tell me quickly."

Jing Niang asked playfully, since her husband was afraid that she would be worried, she pretended not to know. Liu Yu was about to sue her, when he suddenly saw a personal soldier being taken into the backyard by Tao'er, and he didn't know what happened, so he didn't speak again.

"The servant system, someone at the front door is looking for it, saying that there is an urgent matter in the imperial court, and the waiter system should go immediately."

This point? Liu Yu was a little surprised, there is no court meeting today, is it a matter of peace to find himself? Jing Niang on the side had already ordered someone to get the official uniform, Liu Yu asked what the visitor looked like while wearing it, and heard that he claimed to be a political affairs hall straight house, which is really rare, he has never set foot there.

"Donghua Gate?"

"Yes, the students gathered there, saying that they wanted to write to Fu Que, and the minister ordered me to wait to find a few, and hurry up, and the lower official rode a horse, and asked the waiter to go with the lower official."

The look of anxiety on this straight house, Liu Yu didn't ask any more, and took two entourages to follow him, Donghua Gate was at the other end of the imperial city, and there was still some distance from the Hening Gate where he had walked, fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the road at this time, and they could move forward at a faster speed.

When I arrived outside the Donghua Gate, I saw a crowd of people in the dark, and the square was full of people, and a young man was raising his arms and shouting something. Several people hurriedly reined in the horses, and after dismounting, they bypassed the side, until now Liu Yu didn't know what happened and why it had something to do with him.

"The ministers in the court, those who bravely disregard and take on the important role of the world, Li Gang is also, and the so-called ministers of the society. Those who are mediocre, jealous of illness and ability, who act for personal planning, and who do not care for the national economy, are the disciples of Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Yan, and the so-called thieves of the society. ”

Thanks to the network of later generations, Liu Yu knows that Li Gang is a very good person, and he can be used by his son to scare people, but he doesn't know anything else, but what do these people have to do with him, why are there two ministers Chen Yizhong and Liu Mengyan standing in front of him, as well as Chen Jingxing and Wang Yinglin, two colleagues?

"He was reading Chen Dongshang's book on current affairs, and he directly accused us of being traitors to the country."

Standing next to the four people, Wang Yinglin on the side explained to him softly, although Liu Yu still didn't understand, but made a sudden realization, this is a student petition, asking to resist ~ the Paris Peace Conference, thus leading to the famous "May Fourth" Movement? Well, that's a long way off.

"Okay, students, the ministers are here, and the ministers who participated in the peace meeting have also arrived, if you have any questions, you can ask them."

An official, after receiving the signal from the two ministers, stepped forward and said loudly, because the voice of the students was so noisy, he shouted several times to make the group hear, and the young man who was giving the speech also stopped, and led the students to face them a few steps closer.

"The students have met your father-in-law."

"What's your name, and why are you taking the lead in making trouble?"

Liu Mengyan waited for them to finish their salute and asked loudly. Chen Yizhong looked at them, as if he saw himself back then, his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

"Back to Xianggong's words, student Liu Jiugao is here for Zhengguoben and Su Chaogang, not to make trouble."

"Nonsense, why is the country not right, where does the dynasty come from, it is clearly nonsense."

"The student dares to ask the minister, is the imperial court negotiating peace with the Yuan people?"

This student named Liu Jiugao really has a bit of the demeanor of a leader, and in the face of the prime minister's questioning, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he talks eloquently, without the slightest fear.

"Indeed, what does that have to do with your gathering here?"

"This is the reason why the students and others are here, the court has a minister, you must not ignore it, if the ministers are not guests, the students and others will be written to the saints, so that the traitors have nothing to hide."

"Who is the minister?"

"It's a few of them, Chen Jingxing, Wang Yinglin, and Liu Yu!"

Liu Jiugao's hand pointed behind the two, swiped over the bodies of Chen Jingxing and the three of them, and finally stopped at Liu Yu. This is the first time that his name has been put forward as a negative example, Liu Yu looked at the group of excited students in front of him, thinking that they would not do it immediately.
