Xun You was the first to react, and the other three were not very slow to react, and they also realized that this was the emperor's conspiracy.

They were shocked and had the heart to explain, but soon found that there was no way to explain the matter.

The matter of marrying the emperor was in a uproar before, and everyone in the whole world knew about it, and everyone knew that they had earned great benefits by cooperating with the emperor.

Now it is only natural to go further.

Interpretation?

They have already been regarded as traitors by the scholars, and if they want to explain that they have offended the emperor, wouldn't it be unpleasing to both sides?

The military elite clique and the bureaucracy have already seen that they are very unhappy, and if they want to offend the emperor again, the scholars will not tear them up, and the emperor will eat them.

At that time, even if the emperor fails and is forced to compromise, it will be easy to clean them up.

All retreats were blocked, or rather, there was no retreat from the first compromise they had.

In this way, the contradiction between the emperor and the scholars has become more and more intense, and it has reached the point of black and white, and there is no room for gray areas in the middle.

Whether to support the examination or the imperial examination is a question of choosing one or the other, and the two sides cannot coexist.

Fourth, everyone was bitter in their hearts, but they couldn't say a word, looking at the surprised eyes of their colleagues, they really felt that what it means to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis is bitter and can't say it.

At this point, there is no point in saying.

The scholars launched an attack on their respective residences, causing trouble and demonstrations everywhere, disrupting the normal order of economic life in Luoyang, and the emperor did not give up until he compromised.

Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan, Ma Miao and other middle- and lower-level officials in the imperial court reacted the most to this matter and were the most opposed, so they were indignant.

Headed by the loudest voices or the most active in organizing resistance, they took on the task of organizing and uniting with the students to make things as big as possible.

As a result, the entire Luoyang City is uneasy.

In this way, the pressure on the emperor will be extremely huge, and when this matter spreads to the local government, the anger and resistance of those local officials will further shake the emperor's will.

Their fight was won.

is just like the central and local governments in tandem to force Liu Xiu to compromise.

A struggle can win two hundred years of prosperity, how to look at it and how it is worth!

So, they cheered up.

While impacting Xu Jing's family, and on the other hand, impacting the families of the four major families of Kong, Yuan, Xunjia, and on the other hand, they also have to force some famous people and high-ranking officials who hold power to express their support for them, otherwise they will be enemies, and Xu Jing and the four families will end!

Before there were no higher-ranking scholars and officials, Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan, and Ma Miao became the open leaders of the rebellion, each with their own division of labor.

Wei Shen was responsible for leading the students, giving them guidance and a plan of action, while the other three were responsible for maintaining the protests of the organization officials.

Seeing that the scholars are making more and more trouble and the pressure is increasing, some officials and celebrities who were reluctant to express their stance are now a little hesitant and a little shaken.

The emperor's side has not reacted all the time, and Xu Jinghe, who helped him speak, didn't know if the four big families who were on his side were besieged, and they couldn't speak.

Not only that, but the students also launched a further strike.

I don't go to class, and I don't allow other students in Taixue to go to class.

Those children of the poor family and the children of Li Shu, who wanted to go to class, were occupied by them in the lecture hall and were not allowed to go to class.

The children of the Hanmen and the children of Li Shu were few people, and they wanted to rush in, but they were inferior in numbers, and they couldn't beat them, so they could only retreat, and they were anxious.

The lecturers were blocked in the lecturer's living quarters and could not go out, and as soon as they went out, they were asked to express their support for them.

Yuan Si, one of the four major scholars, detonated the anger of the scholars because of the rumors and tried to persuade the scholars to go back to class, and was not only scolded by Wei Shen pointing his nose, but also splashed his whole body with a bucket of dirty water, and fled in embarrassment.

Now his reputation is stinking, and he is completely on the opposite side of this scholarly protest.

Xu Jing, the four major families, was released together to bear the anger and accusations of the scholars and attacks, and was set up as a typical example of the royal eagle dog, and his reputation was basically stinky.

Wei Shen and others became "model scholars" because of their fearless resistance and their "neither humble nor arrogant" actions in the face of imperial power, and there was a tendency to replace the four major families as the leaders of the new four major families.

Seeing that the scholars gradually had an organization and a leader and a program of action in the original chaos, Emperor Guo still did not express his position.

It's September.

The protests have spread widely, and there have been a large number of vacancies in many government offices.

The scholars and bureaucrats, who had been hesitant to go to work, were persuaded by their fellow scholars who had participated in the strike before, and decided not to go to work and not to do their official duties, so as to increase the pressure on the emperor.

The smaller the official, the lower the status, the more simply it is, and those who have status and official positions are really a little cautious.

The leading officials, who did not dare to strike lightly, were forced to take on heavy responsibilities, and with the company of a small number of poor officials and a very small number of scholars and bureaucrats who were unwilling to participate in this matter, they struggled to maintain the operation of the central government.

This group of people was constantly busy day and night, and they had the feeling that they had entered the Shura purgatory.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all, and some people can't stand such heavy work pressure, so they ask the emperor to take into account the overall situation, respond to the call of the scholars, and restore everything to the original state, so that the government can quickly resume operation.

This is their only request.

Otherwise, if you go on like this, you will be very tired, and you really can't stand it.

But during this period of time, the emperor seemed to know nothing, did not say a word, did not do anything at all, and allowed the scholars to carry out a stormy baptism in the entire Luoyang public opinion field.

Chen Lin, the strongest foul-mouthed weapon that the emperor is accustomed to, didn't say a word, and the royal literati group who usually helped the emperor didn't say a word, and the licking dogs in the past didn't say a word.

The scholars, who had previously almost hailed the emperor as a saint, were now at the vanguard of opposition to this policy.

It seems that the matter tossed by the emperor and Xu Jing seems to have made His Majesty the Emperor betray his relatives.

Once encountering such a strong resistance from the scholars, even if it did not involve the military level, it still made the emperor very embarrassed and caught the emperor off guard.

So there is reason to believe that the emperor can't find anyone willing to support him, and now, he is thinking about how to end this matter with dignity.

After someone put forward such a view, the soldiers who participated in the rebellion became even more excited, and began to increase their efforts to besiege the mansions of Xu Jing and the four major families, increase their efforts to boycott classes and schools, and walk the streets and alleys everywhere to publicize Xu Jing's black history.

Now Luoyang children know that the reason why Xu Jing fell out with his clansman Xu Shao was because Xu Jing had an affair with his concubine and had a very bloody affair.

There are also some black histories that don't know the truth of the representatives of the four families, as well as some [romantic affairs] of their children.

The people of Luoyang don't know why, and they have treated this matter as a joke in their daily life, and it has become a happy moment in their spare time.

And in such an atmosphere, there is also an inexplicable worry of some people.

The emperor was too quiet.

It's not right.

It can be seen from the emperor's previous action patterns that the emperor is very strong, and even if he does not gain the upper hand for a while, he will hold on until he has the upper hand.

Unless this time it is really all the royal literati groups, including Chen Lin, who are against the water, and the emperor is really betraying his relatives, how can the emperor not say a word?

This is not right, how could the emperor not find a single supporter, so everyone betrayed his relatives and left?

Even if the scholars don't support it, will his relatives not support it?

Cao's Xiahou doesn't support it?

Will the four major families who have just reached a marriage support it?

Will those of his cronies and former officials support it?

All betrayed?

Even those poor children?

No way?

While more and more scholars and officials sensed that the situation was good and gave up their forbearance and joined the ranks of resistance, some of them became less and less sense.

They always feel like something is about to happen.

They are getting more and more worried, more and more afraid.

The keen political sense of being under the political oppression of Guo for a long time told them that something was wrong, that was very wrong.

Something must have been overlooked.

However, they did not know what they had overlooked.

In fact, don't talk about them, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries are actually wondering why there is such a noise outside, and the emperor still sits on the Diaoyutai without saying a word.

Cao Cao didn't know, Guo Jia didn't know, and the two of Guo Peng's closest cronies didn't know why he was so calm.

The great tandem of scholars had caused more than 50 percent of the officials in the imperial court to go on strike.

Less than 50 percent remains, and the remaining less than 20 percent of the scholars and bureaucrats may turn against the water at any time, and they are constantly turning back.

Since September, less than 10 percent of the scholars and bureaucrats have remained in the government offices.

In such a crisis situation, the emperor did not react at all.

There was no movement in the inner court.

The Forbidden Army did not move.

The guards outside the city did not move.

The emperor ate and drank as usual and handled state affairs as usual, and in the face of the doubts and requests of Cao Cao and other officials, he ignored them all, as if he had given up struggling, as if he wanted to compare with the scholars who could consume whom.

Cao Cao had raised his concerns to Guo Peng at noon.

"At present, the news has not spread all over the country, once it spreads throughout the country, it will inevitably cause turmoil among the local county guards and assassins, and then the people's hearts will be unstable, and the stability of the country will no longer be, please Your Majesty immediately stop the actions of the students and officials and restore order! Even if it's by some coercion. ”

Cao Cao's ass was naturally sitting on Guo Peng's side, and he was willing to help Guo Peng achieve his goal, but Guo Peng's motionless attitude made him feel worried.

Guo Peng just smiled.

"Lone will never punish for words, and the twisted melon is not sweet."

"But Your Majesty, this is not ......"

Cao Cao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Guo Peng and didn't let him continue.
