After a day of spreading, the news of the mutiny of the Yongwei Battalion in the Imperial City detonated the entire Jingshi, this news is too amazing!

Although the Huangming Times did not report on the incident, the newsstands at the corners of the streets were still full of people, and those professional newspaper singers were already very familiar with this business, and they could make up a story without reading the newspaper.

The Yongwei Battalion has been on the Huangming Times many times, and there has also been a column, these newspaper singers don't know how many times, with a preconceived feeling, they firmly believe in the loyalty of the Yongwei Battalion.

Based on the information provided by the plainclothes personnel of the Jinyi Guard, these newspaper singers vividly described how the tens of thousands of brave guards were angry and clamoring, and perfectly expounded the heroic image full of grief and indignation.

If Zhu Cihong sees it, he will definitely invest in a Jingshi Film Academy and let them serve as mentors.

Under the propaganda of these newspaper singers, and after countless unaware crowds spread, soon the whole Beijing knew about the shocking thing, and all the streets and alleys, restaurants and tea shops were talking about it.

Some well-informed sources claimed that yesterday afternoon, they saw many important ministers of the court and the central government and the generals of the Beijing camp hurrying into the palace on Qipan Street, and that the matter was certainly not simple, and perhaps they were preparing to deal with the Yongwei battalion.

After the news spread, the crowd was in an uproar, and some loyal supporters of the Brave Guard Battalion, under the arrangement of well-intentioned people, put up banners and began the initial demonstration.

There are many shops around Qipan Street, and the flow of people is also very large, at this time, a lane is divided in the crowd of people on the street, and there are people beating gongs and drums in a long line, and more people are waving flags and shouting excitedly.

"The Brave Guard Battalion is not guilty!"

"Traitorous ministers are causing trouble to the dynasty!"

The procession finally came to the south gate of the imperial city, knelt in front of the Daming Gate, shouted loudly, the brave guard battalion was loyal to the country, and hoped that the Son of Heaven would not listen to the words of the traitorous ministers to catch the wind and catch the shadows, and chill the hearts of the loyal and brave soldiers.

Wen Tiren originally wanted to use the Huangming Times to suppress public opinion and denounce the disloyal mutiny of the Yongwei Battalion, so as to disturb the public opinion, but Jiang Fengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, directly rejected him, and the Huangming Times under the Ministry of Rites did not say a word about this matter.

The ignorance of the Ministry of Rites could not prevent Wen Tiren and others from attacking the Yongwei Battalion, and he sent intelligence officers in his hands to spread the news throughout the Jingshi.

They claimed that the Yongwei Battalion openly wanted to blackmail the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, and the general soldier Huang Degong even killed the imperial history of Zuodu, so unruly, so domineering, it was really unsightly!

At any time, the influence of public opinion is always terrible, and many people began to believe in these statements, and some people were deeply affected and really believed them.

The supporters and opponents of the Yongwei Battalion began to fight each other in various teahouses and liquor shops, and it was even more common for both sides to spit on and pour alcohol, and some even fought violently, and a large number of people around the newsstand also pointed at each other, walked through the streets and alleys, and chased each other.

A large number of officials from the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division began to take to the streets to maintain stability, and the sticks that were merciless to the troublemakers were added, and finally the Jingshi gradually quieted down.

In the face of the uproar of the people, the officials of the major yamen had different expressions, some secretly said that the influence of the Yongwei camp was great, and others were worried about whether their own interests would be affected in the future.

In the Zhang Mansion in the East City of Beijing, Zhang Dabiao of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce was entertaining a Hui merchant from Huizhou Mansion.

The Hui merchant sighed: "Brother Zhang, this Jingshi is really different, everyone is full of vitality, it is really breathtaking!" ”

Zhang Dabiao smiled and groaned: "What did Brother Li Xing say? ”

Li Xingdao: "Our Huizhou Mansion, this year's drought began, and everyone didn't even stutter, how could they still have the strength to fight and parade the streets, unlike everyone in Beijing who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is inevitable that some people will have nothing to do when they are full, maybe we think that they are full and have nothing to do, but some people think that this is a game." ”

Li Xing shook his head and said, "I don't care about the game or anything, the purpose of my trip is just to tell Brother Zhang that the food source in Jiangnan is cut off." ”

Zhang Dabiao frowned and said, "Brother Li, what's the matter?" ”

Li Xingdao: "Not only our Huizhou Mansion, but nearly half of the forty prefecture capitals in Nanzhili have suffered from drought, which is very serious, and there is hunger everywhere, and the food consumption in the south is extremely large, and there are many people hoarding, and the price of grain has nearly doubled. ”

Zhang Dabiao muttered: "It's okay, the previous period of time made me prepare to go back to the south for development, and the industry here in Beijing doesn't matter." ”

Li Xing said seriously: "Is Brother Zhang attached too early?" The current situation is not very clear, you have also seen the current situation of the Jingshi, the situation of the crown prince is very unfavorable, you have to think twice! ”

Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "We and other businessmen sometimes do risky business, and the earlier you invest, the richer the returns." ”

Li Xing hurriedly said: "But if you fail, the loss to our Hui Gang is not small, you have to think about it." ”

Zhang Dabiao sighed: "Although our Hui Gang has developed very well in recent years, it is still a little worse than the Jin Gang, and those guys are now coming to our territory to grab business, if we continue to develop steadily, it is estimated that even the business at the doorstep of the two Huai land will not be good." ”

He continued: "I seem to be gambling, but with my eyes in the business for many years, the crown prince will not fall easily!" ”

In the garrison of the Yongwei battalion, the camp is built high, and the watchtowers around it are constantly at twelve hours throughout the day.

As long as there is any disturbance, the Brave Guard Battalion will be warned, ready to take the lead with a strong posture and completely crush the invading enemy! At the same time, some of the brave guard battalions stationed in the new city will also be warned, and the inside and outside should be combined, and troops will be raised at the same time.

On the second day, a court meeting was still held in the Imperial Palace, and the most core civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty Yamen gathered together.

Although Chongzhen did not plan to abolish the crown prince, he was still angry about the actions of the Yongwei battalion and decided to deal with it in the court.

Wen Tiren changed his previous style, went out of class first, and said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan's mental skills are unpredictable, they dare to besiege the capital procuratorate in the heavy land of Chengtianmen and kill the imperial history!" Despise Your Majesty, despise the court, please kill him! ”

Jiang Fengyuandao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately went out to retort: "The two commanders led the Yongwei battalion to fight in the east and west, won many great victories, beheaded tens of thousands of enemies, and drove Jiannu back to the outside of the pass. ”

Yang Tinglin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, also played: "At present, the people in the Beijing Division have an excellent evaluation of the Yongwei Battalion, and there are many people kneeling in front of the Daming Gate, please Your Majesty do not chill the hearts of loyal and brave soldiers." ”

Cabinet minister Xue Guoguan said with a smile: "It's just a group of people, and the decision of the imperial court still needs to be influenced by them?" It's ridiculous! ”

Chongzhen frowned and looked at the cabinet, but saw that the cabinet was silent, He Fengsheng pretended to ponder how to deal with it, and Huang Shijun directly looked at the shining gold bricks on the ground, and did not participate in their struggle.

Huang Shijun has been an official in Beijing for 30 years, and he has no great achievements in reforming the old and making new ones, nor has he been scolded by others, but because of his profound knowledge, hard work, and fairness, he has won the reputation of "uprightness", which is indeed commendable in the smoky officialdom at that time.

Chongzhen also valued him so he let him enter the cabinet, and wanted him to do something, but he didn't expect this old thing to care about anything!

It is commendable to be able to stand alone in a corrupt officialdom, and it is also smart to keep a clear head and not fall into the whirlpool of friends, Huang Shijun is not a smart person.
