On the streets of Jinan City, you can see people fighting swords everywhere, not only young and strong people from all over the country, but even scholars in Jinan City.

This kind of situation is very rare in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but under Liu Juntao's propaganda, at least around the city of Jinan, and even most of the cities in Shandong.

Liu Juntao is also deeply gratified by this, after various guidance policies of Shandong Town, at least the folk customs in Shandong have begun to change, and the literary style that began in the middle of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly curbed.

However, not everyone is as happy as Liu Juntao, at least Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, are all sitting on pins and needles, and they are very dissatisfied with the current prevalence of martial arts in various parts of Shandong.

"This Shandong has become a place where martial arts are rampant! It's insulting! ”

Shandong political envoy Gu Yi complained loudly and indignantly, and next to him, Shandong Governor Li Chengming and Shandong Inspector Zhu Qiaozuo also vented their dissatisfaction with their hearts.

Just yesterday, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, took his family to wander around the streets, but all eyes were full of swords and sword-wielding people, and the streets were full of martial arts, and he was in a bad mood.

So early this morning, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, hurriedly sent people to invite Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, to come over, and began to "complain" to the two of them about the current situation of martial arts in various parts of Shandong.

In this regard, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, also deeply felt the same way, and were very dissatisfied with what Shandong Town had done, especially Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town.

But the three of them are limited to getting together to complain and "exchange opinions" with each other, for Liu Juntao, none of the three dares to confront him on the surface, you must know that Liu Juntao is a ruthless character who is "not stingy"!

However, in the face of the current situation in various parts of Shandong, the three of them were a little impatient in their hearts, so they began to discuss how to reverse the current martial arts trend of the people in various places.

"My Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the holy land of poetry and books! Now it has become a gathering place for martial artists, and the rude and rude place is simply a shame for the people of the world! ”

This is the roar of Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, originally Gu Yi was also going to hold a poetry competition in Jinan Fucheng this year, but looking at the current situation, it is estimated that no one will come to participate in this poetry competition.

Even if this poetry competition is held, it is estimated that the grand occasion is far from what Gu Yi expected in his heart, which is why Gu Yi is so angry and unwilling.

"Then Liu Juntao acted like this, so that the whole of Shandong would become a place of fierce fighting, and let the people of Shandong become the reserve of the Tiance Army, how insidious his intentions were!"

Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong on the side, also shouted angrily, and now with the increasing influence of Shandong Town, it can be said that on the ground in Shandong, the order issued by Shandong Town has far stronger influence than the decree of the governor Yamen, which makes Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, very angry, and has a feeling of being replaced.

As a result, Li Chengming began to criticize the policies of Shandong Town, and began to try his best to blacken some of the measures to benefit the people in Shandong Town, but "the eyes of the masses are bright", Li Chengming's move can be said to have little effect, even if a small number of people do not know and feel that this Shandong governor is reasonable, but in the face of the toughness of Shandong Town, they all chose to remain silent.

"We should risk death to admonish! Report Liu Juntao's various deeds to the court according to the truth, and put all Liu Juntao's actions on the court, so that he has nowhere to hide! ”

Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, was already a little excited at this time, and directly clamored to play the script.

At this time, the three of them talked for a long time, and their emotions had been mobilized, but with Zhu Qiaozuo's roar, Shandong political envoy Gu Yi and Shandong governor Li Chengming calmed down almost instantly, and the two were not as "middle two" as Zhu Qiaozuo.

How big Liu Juntao's power is, those ministers in the court and Emperor Jingtai may not have an intuitive understanding, but they can be said to have a deep understanding.

Shandong at this time is not so much the Shandong of the Ming Dynasty, but the Shandong of the Tiance Army!

Shandong political envoy Gu Yi and Shandong governor Li Chengming absolutely believe that as long as Liu Juntao is willing, the whole of Shandong can change banners overnight.

Even if Liu Juntao is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, what about those generals under him?

You have to know how the Great Song came about? Isn't it a yellow robe!

Therefore, although Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, and Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, are extremely dissatisfied with Liu Juntao, they are unwilling to tear their faces with Liu Juntao.

Seeing that Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, and Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, were silent, Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then came to his senses, sighed heavily, and said: "Can we just watch Liu Juntao act like this?" Now I have received dozens of copies of the prefects and county orders from various places, all of which are protesting against what Liu Juntao has done, should we also turn a deaf ear? ”

"What else can we do if we don't turn a deaf ear?"

Shandong Governor Li Chengming smiled bitterly, no longer had the impassioned look just now, and said, "Do we really want to tear our faces with Liu Juntao?" ”

At this time, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, said: "I don't think it's better to do this, let's contact Yan Shenggong, if Yan Shenggong comes forward, plus the three of us jointly signed the recital, the imperial court may make some moves, and Your Majesty will also restrict Shandong Town!" ”

Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "This plan is very wonderful! ”

"I advise you to save it!"

Who knew that Shandong Governor Li Chengming directly poured cold water on the two: "Don't you all know? In all the industries in Shandong Town, there are members of Yan Shenggong! Yan Shenggong and Liu Juntao are clearly offensive and defensive alliances, do you still want to unite Yan Shenggong? Forget it, so as not to burn yourself! ”

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent again.

A few days later, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, heard an incident almost simultaneously: more than a dozen scholars from Jinan Prefecture gathered outside the gate of the General Military Mansion in Shandong Town to protest against Liu Juntao's vigorous promotion of martial arts and openly insult Liu Juntao.

Although the soldiers of the Tiance Army guarding outside the gate of the General Military Mansion in Shandong Town were extremely angry, they had already received Liu Juntao's order; Just guard the gate, as long as those soldiers don't move, they are not allowed to come forward and disperse!

However, the soldiers of the Tiance Army did not do it, which did not mean that others were also indifferent, and the surrounding onlookers saw that those scholars were doing something out of line, and they stepped forward to stop them, and even many hot-blooded men shouted and scolded, and those soldiers fought-for-tat.

"The many industries in Shandong Town, how much life has been given to us Shandong people? How many people are next to the industry of Shandong Town, so they have a good life today, and you even came to curse Liu Zongbing, you are dizzy! ”

"What's wrong with Shangwu? Do you want everyone in the world to be like you, weak and powerless? Then wouldn't Da Ming be bullied to death by the Tartars! ”

"I think you people are reading and reading your brains badly, and you can't even tell the difference between good and bad!"

Listening to the rebuttal of the surrounding crowd, these dozen or so scholars suddenly became angry, and several more impulsive scholars even stepped forward to push and shove with the surrounding crowd, which immediately attracted countless punches and kicks.

When the officials of Jinan Mansion arrived, more than a dozen scholars had all arrived on the ground, wailing constantly.

This matter soon reached the ears of Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, and soon the three gathered in the yamen of Jinan Mansion.

"Who instigated this? It's just stupid! ”

Shandong Governor Li Chengming asked with some annoyance.

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, both looked innocent, and this matter was actually organized spontaneously by a dozen or so brainless scholars, and no one instructed them behind their backs.

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, looked at Li Chengming and asked, "How do we end up now?" ”

Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, also asked anxiously: "Now that the families of the dozen or so scholars have begun to move around, they believe that Shandong Town hired those people to beat them, and they began to complain up and down, let's come up with a charter as soon as possible!" ”

"Charter?"

Li Chengming suddenly collapsed and said, "What else can we do except immediately go to the court and help those scholars talk?" It is estimated that now those imperial historians in the court have begun to prepare for the impeachment of us, and we are not in a good situation! ”

Shandong according to the envoy Zhu Qiaozuo and Shandong political envoy Gu Yi were also shocked, although this matter is the fault of those scholars, but the three of them can only stand in line like this, otherwise they will definitely be bitten to death by the imperial historian of the court, the situation is not good!

Li Chengming added: "Let's think about how this piece should have been written, even if we want to stand in line, we can't cut off the back road, basically the facts still have to be mentioned in a few words." ”

The other two also hurriedly nodded yes.
