Chapter 019: Taixue

"The traitor is in charge, the loyal ministers are wronged, and the sect is alive and dead, in one fell swoop!"

Xuande Gate, the south gate of the imperial city, the gate is facing the royal street. At this time, in front of the Xuande Gate, hundreds of students fell to their knees and wept.

The scholars wept bitterly one by one, shouting in their mouths, demanding that the imperial court restore Li Gang and the original positions of the planter, punish Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong traitors, unite the morale of the army and the people, and resist the Jurchen Fanzi together.

With the passage of time, there were more and more onlookers, and there were crowds of people in front of Xuande Gate. And the passionate and generous voice also came from inside.

"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.

"Your Majesty is among the secretaries of the army, not one or two days for the government, the Chinese and foreign ministers celebrate, knowing that Your Majesty is capable of being virtuous. Don't use it in time, know that Your Majesty can go to evil. However, the outline is not specialized, the time is reprimanded but not gone, the resumption of Bangyan, and the state of Chang, since the rest and all used, His Majesty Ren Xian still failed to do so, and went to the evil can not be doubted? Now I heard that I had dismissed the ministry, and the ministers were shocked, and I don't know why!"

Chen Dong, the leader of the Tai students, stood in front of the crowd of scholars, held a book of about 1,000 words in his hand, and read it endlessly, continuing to defend Li Gang, the clear stream of this dynasty:

"Eavesdropping on Bangyan and Shi Zhong to persuade His Majesty that he is fortunate, the capital is in turmoil, if it is not for His Majesty's advice, then take advantage of public opinion to relocate, the temple has been a mound and ruins, and the creatures have been fished and fleshed. Bangyan and others decided to cut the land, cover the foundation of the imperial court in Hebei, there are no three passes and four towns, is to abandon Hebei, and the imperial court can restore the capital of Dalianghu? I don't know if after cutting Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and the north of the river, can the Jurchen fans not defeat the alliance?

One advance and one retreat, it is very light in the outline, and it is very heavy in the imperial court. Fortunately, His Majesty immediately reversed his previous order, reinstated his old position, and paid the teacher to the outside world with the heart of peace and foreign affairs. Your Majesty does not believe in the words of the ministers, please ask all the people of all countries, and they will all say that the outline can be used, and Bangyan and others can be reprimanded. ”

After some saliva, Chen Dong handed over the Cambodian book in his hand, and the court officials who had been waiting by the side hurriedly took the documents in Chen Dong's hand, ran backwards into the palace gate, and reported to the emperor.

More and more people gathered outside the Xuande Gate, at least a few thousand. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and demanded that the imperial court punish the traitor and restore Li Gang's position. The anger and depression since the siege of the Jin people broke out together.

The scholars became even more fearless, pointing out the country, fanning the flames, and guiding the anger of the people.

"The traitor is in charge, the loyal ministers are wronged, and the sect survives, in one fell swoop!"

The angry people shouted in unison, deafeningly, and the sound reverberated through the forest, and spread far away.

Li Bangyan, the famous "prodigal prime minister" in history, had just finished participating in the court meeting, and just came out of the palace, and when he saw so many people gathered outside the Xuande Gate, he couldn't help but be a little curious and walked up.

The public next to him originally planned to step forward to stop him, but he held back his footsteps and closed his mouth, obviously watching the excitement and not afraid of big things.

Seeing Li Bangyan coming, the sharp-eyed scholar said loudly: "This is Li Bangyan, the great master of the dynasty, this thief is not talented, jealous of illness and ability, and is a big traitor, Mr. Liang Xi was forced to retreat by these thieves of the society, and killed this traitor!"

Hearing that the purple-robed official in front of him was Li Bangyan, a big traitor who advocated land cession and compensation, the scholars' eyes were red, and they stepped forward one after another, surrounded Li Bangyan, impassionedly, and pointed at his nose and scolded him.

"What are you going to do? Talking with Jin Ren, this is the will of the imperial court, what does it have to do with it! And as a student, he is not good at studying and studying, but he is bewitched by people here, and the rumors confuse the public, so he should not disperse quickly!"

Li Bangyan's intimidation made the students and people below even more angry.

"Traitor, if it weren't for you and others to confuse the saint and control the court, there would be today's disaster!"

Some of the scholars and the people were so excited that they picked up tiles, stones, and other objects from the ground and threw them at Li Bangyan. Li Bangyan pushed aside the crowd, hugged his head, and hurriedly fled into the palace gate and hid in the vertical arch hall.

The other ministers who had just dispersed saw that the situation was not good, so they were afraid to avoid it, so they ran away one by one, completely ignoring the demeanor and etiquette of the scholars.

The guards of the forbidden army, wearing helmets and armor and scarfs on their heads, hurriedly stepped forward with swords and guns, lined up a wall of people, and blocked the front of the Xuande Gate, in case these "thugs" could not control themselves and rushed into the imperial city.

Zhao Huan just faked his eyes for a moment, but he heard the tsunami-like noise of the mountains outside the palace ringing continuously, and the ministers with blue noses and swollen faces retreated back in disgrace.

"What is it, why is it so noisy, and how did the Qing family retreat?"

Zhao Huan frowned, and his face was even more gloomy.

The privy envoy Wu Min's face was pale, his forehead was swollen, and there was still a vegetable leaf on his shoulder. Seeing the Son of Heaven asking, he cried and said: "Back to Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people and scholars outside gathered to demonstrate, demanding that the official positions of Seed Master Dao and Li Gang be restored, otherwise they will not leave!" The ministers are innocent and suffer the fish in the pond. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”

Before the words fell, there was a commotion outside, and it was obvious that the scholars and the people had rushed into the imperial city and began to "do nonsense".

Zhao Huan's face was pale, and he pondered for a long time and said: "Wu Qing, if you go to pass the decree, you will say that Li Gang failed with his troops, and I have no choice but to give up, and when the Jurchen fan retreats a little, I will resume his official position."

Wu Min took the order, went out of the palace gate, and said loudly to the excited scholars and people outside:

"Everyone, Li Gang failed to use troops against the Jurchen Fanzi, and the official family had no choice. When the Jurchen fan retreats, the official family will definitely restore Li Gang's official position! Everyone should believe in the imperial court, and disperse quickly! ”

Before the words fell, countless stones and clods of soil flew over, smashing Wu Min's gray face, with a blue nose and swollen face.

Chen Dong said loudly: "Wu thief, what face do you have as a traitor who advocates land cession and compensation, and read the holy decree here!" If I can't see Li Xianghe today, I'll die here!"

Chen Dong said loudly to the people and scholars next to him: "Everyone shouts with me: Ask to see Li Xianggong, ask to see Xianggong of Seeds!"

The people below were extremely angry and hoarse, and soon, many people lost their minds, rushed into the Xuande Gate like a whirlwind, and began to run around, entering various courts, smashing and robbing.

Some people desperately beat the "Dengwen Drum" in the hall, the drum beat was tragic, the cry of protest shook the earth, and there was a mess outside the Xuande Gate.

What a chaotic phenomenon!

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Huan paced around restlessly, and when he heard the drum sound of "Tongtong", he couldn't help but turn pale, and said loudly to Yin Shiyong, the king of Kaifeng Mansion who retreated to the main hall: "Wang Qingjia, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, go down to appease the scholars and the people!"

Wang Shiyong went out hard, came to the Tai student and the others, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen Dong, are you threatening Your Majesty?" Don't get out of here!"

Chen Dong replied loudly: "Threatening the Son of Heaven with loyalty and righteousness is not better than threatening with treachery?" Wang Shiyong, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, in addition to pretending, acting for the tiger, and ceding land to the north to sue for peace, what did you do, what is the use of the court wanting you to be a traitor?"

When the students stepped forward, they wanted to grab Wang Shiyong and beat him in front of the palace gate.

Although there are 1,000 people in the forbidden army, there are more than 10,000 students and ordinary people, and once there is a conflict, the situation may be difficult to control.

Wang Zongmi, the commander in front of the palace, saw that the matter was too big to clean up, so he hurriedly stabilized the students and the people first, and while entering the palace to persuade Zhao Huan to agree to the request of the scholar first, and restore the official position of Li Gang and the seed master.

"Quickly summon Li Gang and Seed Master Dao into the palace!"

Zhao Huan's screams rang out in the hall.

"Geng Xiang, you go to appease the students and people outside, and at the same time announce the decree, just say that Li Gang and Seed Master Dao have received the decree and will arrive soon, so that everyone can be at ease. ”

Geng Nanzhong was still hesitating, and Zhao Huan said angrily: "Don't go quickly, do you want me to go in person?"

Geng Nanzhong left in a hurry, and the ministers in the palace were all pale, and they couldn't stop worrying.

The official family announced the reinstatement of Li Gang and the cultivation of the master, the cultivation of the master came by car, he lifted the curtain, and the people saw that it was indeed an old general, and broke out into a thunderous cheer, which dispersed one after another.

But the Tai students led by Chen Dong still refused to leave and insisted on seeing Li Gang, the head of the Qingliu. In desperation, Zhao Huan ordered Li Gang to go out of Donghuamen to pacify the army and the people.

The "riot" lasted all afternoon, and Li Gang came out, bitterly speaking, and the students were satisfied, and left one by one, leaving behind a field of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, dirty and messy.

Chen Dong stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Li Xiang's comeback, Sheji's luck!"

Li Gang nodded and said: "Li Mou's reinstatement is the grace of the Son of Heaven, the power of Shaoyang and the students. Thank you for waiting, old man!"

Chen Dong said embarrassedly: "In the inferior petition, I don't intend to "threaten the Son of Heaven with loyalty", and there are mobs that kill dozens of servants, and I hope that Li Xiang will be thoughtful about this matter!"

Li Gang said: "Shaoyang, it's already like this, don't worry!" The old man will do his best in the court. Why don't you go back to your hometown for a while, and hide from the time, and then come back when things are settled. ”

Chen Dong said proudly: "Li Xiang's words, I dare not agree!" Loyal ministers are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death. In the next Taixue, if Your Majesty wants the life of the minister, just come and take it!"

Li Gang shook his head and said: "Shaoyang, you have long had a reputation, you are free and unrestrained, and you refuse to live under others, but your temperament is too upright. Now that the fan is raging, the court officials should work together to resist foreign aggression. You must not be unscrupulous, and make too many enemies. ”

This Chen Dong is a famous two hundred and five, and he is notoriously upright. But if you don't get it, you will ruin your future, and you will also cause death.

Chen Donglang said: "Li Xiang, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and the next nature is like this, I am afraid it is difficult to change." The Jurchen soldiers are in the city, and the traitors in the court are in charge, and they will do their duty as courtiers, and they will give advice and advice, and there is no need to worry about the minister. ”

Seeing Chen Dong's departing figure, Li Gang couldn't help but sigh. If today's son favors Chen Dong, if the time changes, or another emperor changes, this Chen Shaoyang is afraid that his future will be worrying.

The petition of the students and the common people was a great success. After Li Gang and Seed Master Dao were reinstated, they reorganized their ranks and launched a series of offensives against the Jurchens outside Bianliang City.

The morale of the Song army was high, and they had gained an advantage on the battlefield. Wanyanzong saw that the master Dao and Li Gang were reinstated, and the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and he was worried that the back road would be cut off, so the peace discussion resumed.

On February 17 of the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan issued an edict to cede the three towns, and took Zhao Shu, the king of Xiao, instead of Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, as a hostage, and looted the gold and silver in Tokyo City to obtain a total of 200,000 taels of gold and 4 million taels of silver, as a condition for the peace negotiations between Song and Jin.

Qinwang Song army was huge, guarding Guanjin, cutting off the grain road, prohibiting it from plundering, dividing troops to guard each important place, Wanyan Zongwang lone army went deep, afraid that the back road would be cut off, and he did not wait for the number of gold coins to be requested, so he retreated to the north.
