"Yes," the old official Qin Jiusheng patted him on the shoulder and shook his head, "I really don't know what these scholars think?" ”

Fan Changheng was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. He picked up the heavy water and fire stick and followed behind Qin Jiusheng. Qin Jiusheng has been an official of the Ezhou Ya 'Gate' for generations, and he only came to the Criminal Department in order to find an official body, although he usually only deals with documents like Fan Changheng, but it is said that he also spent a while in the Zhuang Kuai class when he was in the state capital, and he was very familiar with the guys who practiced water and fire sticks, iron rulers, and iron chains, and Fan Changheng usually looked down on this Xu official, but now he involuntarily followed behind Qin Jiusheng.

Li Hongguang took seven or eight people to the front yard, and more than 30 public people had already gathered in the courtyard, each holding water, fire sticks, iron rulers, and other weapons to guard the big 'gate'.

"Lord Song," Li Hongguang stepped forward, "the Criminal Department has reached eleven people. ”

"Okay." Song An nodded and ordered, "You take five people back to the Criminal Department first, and hide the important case files in the dry well." Others stay here. Li Hongguang was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Is the situation already so critical?" "Take precautions, you have to take precautions." Song An shook his head and said in a low voice: "If the case file is taken away, you and I will not be able to 'hand' over to the imperial court." ”

He sent people out to inquire about the situation, and more than 2,000 people had gathered outside, and there were still people inciting the people of the Liao Sheng to rush in, grab Wen Xunzhi and the corrupt officials of the Criminal Department, and beat them all to death. The students shouted outside the ya'men "to eradicate the 'traitor' thief Wen Xunzhi", but they didn't know that Wen Xunzhi, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not sit in the Criminal Department every day, and he didn't need to do anything in the morning. The one who is really responsible for daily official business is neither Shangshu nor 'squire', but Song An, the oldest member of the criminal department.

Li Hongguang turned his head to look at the officials of the Criminal Department who were weak and timid, and sighed. The Criminal Department is just like the two big stone lions at the entrance of the 'door', which seem to be majestic, but in fact it is an empty shelf. All the officials and officials added up to only four hundred. The weapons are only water and fire sticks, iron rulers, simple knives and the like, and there are no spears and bows and crossbows. The prison of the Criminal Department is on another street, and there are thousands of death row inmates, and there are other military guards guarding them, and those people are easily unusable. If the imperial court did not dispatch the forbidden army in time to quell the 'chaos', and the troublemakers were determined to rush in, this mere 180 officials would not be able to stop it at all.

Seeing Song An walking over with Li Hongguang, Fan Changheng couldn't help but 'stiffen' his 'chest'. "Hold upright, you and Qin Jiusheng go to the small 'gate' of the east chamber to guard, don't let outsiders break in." Song An actually remembered his words, and his tone was also very gentle, Fan Changheng's blood suddenly surged, and he replied loudly: "Yes!" "Bowed down to receive the order, picked up the water and fire stick, and went to the small 'door' of the east chamber with Qin Jiusheng.

............

Outside the 'door' of the Ministry of Rites, the shouts of the servants were as high as a 'wave'. "Deng Suda's 'traitor' minister!" "Convene Xuezheng and impeach Chen Dong!"

The scribe Liu Yizhi also entered the ministry from the small 'door', and had just stepped into the Ministry of Rites, and before he saw the ceremony, Yang Chucai said: "Cai's 'servant' Lang just ordered, someone is making trouble today, in order to protect the seeds of reading, all the officials have a day off, you go back quickly." "Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also from the small examination, their article knowledge can be called the first of the six departments, and they only lack the background of the big entrance examination. Many officials are just unable to enter the state school because of their poor family background. Shangshu, 'Shi'lang' and other high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Rites cherished these officials very much, and gave guidance and support when they had the opportunity.

The other ya's 'doors' may not be found, but the ya's 'door' of the Ministry of Rites is very familiar, so there are especially many people gathered outside the Ministry of Rites, and the 'waiter' Lang Cai Xian saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't have time to inform Deng Su so he made his own opinion, so that all the officials of the Ministry of Rites had a day off, and sang the "empty city plan" with these troublemakers.

Yang Chucai urged Liu Yizhi to leave quickly, and complained: "Ezhou Ya's 'door' is derelict in its duties!" This year's grinding can only be inferior! "As a langzhong, he has to wait to persuade every official who comes to order the mao, although he takes a risk, but he is also dutiful. After waiting for a while, no officials came in to report, and the cries outside were louder, Yang Yizhi frowned, and said hatefully: "The daring juniors, if you know who did it, if you come to take the exam again, you must all be dethroned, and you will not be merciful!" ”

Complaining is complaining, there is no such thing as a camera in this era, only watching the situation on the street from the lookout window, and the officials are all pale and sighing. The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, holding the court etiquette and the power of official selection, how could it fall into such a situation where the authority is lost, and everyone is panicked like a lost dog?

In front of the 'door' of the Ministry of Rites, Wenchang Street was crowded with people, and the scene was even more spectacular than when the provincial examination was rushed. When the provincial test was held, the scholars were quiet, all of them looked respectful, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. At this moment, all kinds of voices come and go, there are people in the crowd, there are also domestic servants, apprentices, as well as market scoundrels, Taoist priests, street vendors, 'women', 'women' and 'women' idlers, etc., the scene is extremely 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.

Everyone's face was full of excitement, some were impassioned, some were full of sleepiness, some were radiant, and some were shrunk to look at the excitement, but everyone was saying this loudly, in the noisy streets, in order to let others hear, and speaking louder, all kinds of discussion sounds like countless bee swarms flapping their wings together, buzzing and dizzying, and like a storm whirlpool is constantly expanding. The students shouted hoarsely and responded like a storm.

"Deng Su is a party, and Peng Bi is a 'traitor'!" "The Ministry of Rites Su Su convenes Xuezheng!" "Eradicate the 'traitor' ministers!"

"Deng Su's lackey!" "Disaster to the country and the people, even if the Ministry of Rites smashes it!"

Li Du stood on the high platform, raised his arms and shouted, countless people responded enthusiastically, at this time, he seemed to be no longer a mortal, but above tens of millions of people, his strength, every shout, will be immediately magnified ten million times. The sound is higher than a 'wave', gradually condensing into a kind of overwhelming momentum, and even faintly has a power to destroy everything.

Most of the students are gathered and set off at the beginning of the day, planning to go to the Ya' door 'door' and 'door' at the beginning of the hour, Li Du almost didn't sleep all night, and arrived at the place of the assembly at three o'clock in Yin, it didn't take long for him to gather five or six hundred people, at this time the sky 'color' was not bright, the people in front of them pulled the people behind, one pulled one by one, walked ten miles in the cold wind howling, and entered Ezhou from Lizheng 'gate'. Because of the flow of people along the way, when entering the city from Lizheng's 'gate', there were more than 1,500 people in Li Du's group alone.

After entering the city, most of the students went to Suzaku Street, where the Xiangya was located, and some people were assigned to go to other key ya'men such as the Ministry of Rites, the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Ezhou Mansion. Along the way, everyone was 'excited', while distributing the post, while the emotions were 'excited' to denounce the national thief, occasionally the official came out to interfere, and some people immediately stepped forward to scold: "Presumptuous!" "Get out of here!" "Get out of the way!" Hundreds of family members and workers rushed up with sticks and sticks.

The people in the public 'gate' bullied the weak and feared the hard, and when they saw this, they had to retreat in disgrace and let the brigade break forward.

Tens of thousands of people poured in, and the city of Ezhou suddenly became as noisy as boiling water. No one expected such a situation. The Ezhou government itself was also surrounded by thousands of people, and it had neither the strength nor the strength to 'pump' its hands to suppress the 'chaotic' situation. Ordinary traders saw that the situation was not good, most of them closed their stalls early, and the shops along the street were also closed and locked, and the ya's "door" was no longer working.

Everything happened after the 'gates' of the city were opened, and by the time the three o'clock had entered the city, the situation quickly deteriorated to the point of being uncontrollable. Thieves took advantage of the market to 'mix' and 'mess' pickpocketing, and some scoundrels in the market took advantage of the Ezhou government officials to take care of their own time to rob money and silk, and even forcibly smashed open the shop.

In the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Tinglun, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early to see him.

The identity of Shangzhu State is not trivial in Xia State, and both the Zhu State Mansion and the Protector State Mansion have strict orders, and the envoy must keep Zhao Xingde out of the control of the Song State no matter what. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Feng Tinglun vaguely felt that if Song Guo insisted on not 'handing' back Zhao Xingde's words, I am afraid that the two governments would transfer the right to dispose of the matter from Lu Cao to the Military Department and the Military Intelligence Department. Lu Cao did not want to be an enemy of the Song State, and Feng Tinglun wanted to make a final effort before the negotiations broke down.

The noise outside was faintly heard, and Feng Tinglun frowned inadvertently. For the people of the Xia Kingdom, who are accustomed to the rule of the soldiers and follow the law in everything, it is inconceivable that the Song Kingdom is 'chaotic' like this. Feng Tinglun even suspected that in a few years, the Song Kingdom would fall apart by itself. However, the threat from outside gave the Prime Minister sufficient righteousness, and the threat of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species made the prefecture and county have to support the Prime Minister to establish a strong forbidden army. Because of this, Feng Tinglun suggested in the above table to Lu Cao that the two governments should not show excessive force, so as not to 'provoke' the Song people's hatred and hatred. However, how much the two governments can consider is not something Feng Tinglun can predict.

In the signing room, the scribe carefully reported that the envoy of the Xia Kingdom was waiting in the 'flower' hall.

Chen Dong put down the red pen and frowned, "Let him wait." Then he bowed down to the first batch of recitals.

Feng Tinglun came to lobby every day like a fly. Does he think that with just three inches of incorruptible tongue, he can bring back people who are related to more than 20 state capitals on Henan and Jingdong roads, and the gains and losses of nearly 10 million household registrations? The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty has enough things to worry about. The pacification of Henan and Jingdong Road, the war and peace with Liao, the attitude of the state and county scholars, the progress of reclamation in the South China Sea, the battle between the clear stream and the turbid current, and the purging of the Great Eating Pirates. In the entire Great Song Dynasty, all kinds of events emerged one after another, and the various ministries and prefectures and counties could not afford it, so they all 'handed over' to the prime minister for decision. Chen Dong came to the signing room before dawn to act for all kinds of official documents, eat and wash clothes, and read more than 10,000 words every day.
