The next day, Guangzhou.

"If I can see this scene, it is not in vain that I have taken the risk of returning home."

At the window of a restaurant, Li Juesi, who had just returned, was holding a wine glass with an excited face.

The streets below the window were crowded with people, tens of thousands of poor people with patches and stacks of patches blocked in front of the government gate, waving their fists and roaring angrily, and there were even many poor talents, one by one, holding the tablet of Confucius and spitting saliva with a face full of righteousness.

In front of them was a scorched prefect.

It's just that the faint voice of Cheng Guangyang, the prefect of Guangzhou, was completely drowned in the angry roar of the people.

Suddenly, the price of rice skyrocketed by forty percent, and quickly set off a storm in this city, which has been promoted to one of the world's largest industrial and commercial bases, and the Ming citizen class, who have long been accustomed to shouting their dissatisfaction, did not hesitate to choose the way they have long been accustomed to. Factories, shops, docks, and the poor people, who could almost be said to have no overnight food, were led by some people to block the government and demand that the prefect come out and give an explanation......

It's the next day.

Yesterday the scale was small, but today, with more citizens joining, it can already be described as huge.

Well, that's not an exaggeration!

The Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of suppressing the burghers by force.

This city does not have the swords and guns of our Qing Dynasty's Guangzhou General and the Eight Banners Army, so Cheng Zhifu, who was beaten by the citizens two years later because of the same problem, had to face the anger of the citizens in advance.

Fortunately, no one has beaten him yet.

In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Cheng Zhifu, who was from Jinjiang, Fujian, could only wipe the sweat on his face and persuade......

"Fathers and fellow villagers, there are unjust debtors and owners, you can't afford to buy food because of Yang Xin, and the rice has been sold to the ghost by this traitor!"

Li Juesi roared.

The poor people below raised their heads one after another, and then instantly cursed Yang Xin's roar.

"Happy!"

Li Juesi, the first son, raised his glass and drank it all.

Then he threw the wine glass out and then turned around, as if the glass had fallen on Yang Xin's face, smashing the traitor's face to the ground.

"Now the northerners can be satisfied!"

An old scribe at the same table looked at the copy in his hand and said with a sneer.

The temple examination is over.

The champion of this section is Zhang Tianxi, a native of the ancient city of Beizhili.

As for the list, it is Fang Fengnian, a native of Sui'an County, Zhejiang, but Tanhua is Qin Shizhen, a native of Mengyin, Shandong, and it can almost be said that there are two first-class ones in the north, and when the gentry in the north are celebrating, it is the anger of the southern gentry. Because the top three in the examination are Wen Zhenmeng, Fu Guan and Chen Renxi, but the three of them were blocked in the top three by the six arts assessment, and they did not even obtain the qualification for the palace examination, but Lu Xiangsheng, who was the first in riding and archery before, ranked tenth in the second class, but if the results of the examination are calculated, he can only rank outside the thirty.

The southern lifter failed miserably!

The culprit is Yang Xin and his Six Arts Assessment.

If it weren't for the Six Arts Assessment, the champion of this subject would almost certainly be Wen Zhenmeng's, and the first class in this subject would all be southerners, and even the second class would be more than half southerners.

But now, the number of second-class southerners is less than half.

A large number of northerners who were originally ranked lower in the examination were able to enter the second class in the palace examination because they failed to pass the six arts assessment in the south in the front, and they also automatically entered the top three because of the top ten in the riding and archery and arithmetic assessments, and the number of jinshi in the north was more than a dozen more than the previous subject, and three jinshi appeared in Liaodong for the first time.

This was all done by Yang Xin.

"This traitor, I don't share the sky with him, if it weren't for the six arts assessment, why wouldn't I even be able to try!"

Li Juesi said angrily.

He actually didn't even pass the test, but he thought that it was caused by the failure of the Six Arts Assessment, which ultimately affected his mood and poor performance on the spot.

"Duke Yuyu, you will continue to lie dormant and sit back and watch these traitors act recklessly?"

Liang Shiji, who also failed to return, said.

"The traitor is full of people, and the old man is ashamed to be in the same column."

The old scribe said.

This is the former crown prince who resigned last year, Xima Huang Shijun.

He has a close relationship with Zuo Guangdou and others, after Zuo Guangdou was imprisoned, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party continued to fight viciously, he was not the core of the Donglin Party as a Cantonese person, but because of his personal relationship with Zuo Guangdou, he was coerced, and he could only follow the Donglin Party again and again. But the more I looked at the situation, the worse it became, the Donglin Party obviously couldn't hold on, but if it didn't follow, it would affect the feelings, or it could also be said that it would affect the interests, so it was very smart to choose to be arrogant, and resigned and went home under the pretext of disdain for being listed as a traitor......

Anyway, he's a prince washing horses.

Although there is a possibility of entering the cabinet, he is in his fifties and it is estimated that there is no play.

In this case, it is better to simply dodge, originally in history, he also escaped from the battle at the most critical moment of the battle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party as a servant of the Ministry of Rites, but because of this, he won a clear name, maintained the image of a loyal minister, and immediately recalled Chongzhen when he came to power. Then this trick was played by him perfectly, as soon as the struggle in the court was fierce, he immediately ran away, and finally from the Apocalypse Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty more than 20 years of party struggle was white-hot, this old guy was all dodged in this way, and he lived until he was more than eighty years old.

Even always maintain a good name.

Poor Chongzhen thought that he was honest and afraid that he would have no money to go home, so he would pay the travel expenses when he resigned!

I don't know if Chongzhen knows underground, knows that he still has Qinghui Garden, one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong, and whether His Majesty the Emperor has the urge to lift the coffin board.

"Yuyu Gong is really a model for the younger generation!"

Li Juesi said expressionlessly.

Originally, he was a jinshi in the next subject.

He did the criminal department in the Chongzhen Dynasty, stuck to Chuzhou to block Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, Guangzhou fell Zhang Jiayu raised troops to resist the Qing, crying outside his house to borrow food from him for three days, but he was unmoved, and then the angry rebels simply ignored Zhang Jiayu's obstruction and raided his house.

And he dug up Zhang Jiayu's ancestral tomb and destroyed his family temple in retaliation.

Even when the Qing army found Zhang Jiayu's body, he went to verify his identity.

And Huang Shijun's expression did not fluctuate when he held the wine glass, although he actually heard Li Juesi's dissatisfaction, but people like him are good-tempered.

However, at this moment, as if the waves were crashing against the rocks, there was an even more violent commotion outside, and Li Juesi hurriedly poked his head out again......

"It's fighting, it's fighting!"

He shouted excitedly.

At this moment, even Huang Shijun couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly got up and poked his head out.

The angry people outside finally lost control, and suddenly rushed away from the interception of the officials, and crashed directly into Cheng Zhifu, the frightened Cheng Zhifu fled to the gate in horror, and the people behind surged forward to chase and fight, one of them grabbed the tablet of Confucius in the hand of a poor Xiucai, smashed it according to Cheng Zhifu and then hit him in the head.

Cheng Guangyang's official hat immediately fell.

But at this time, he didn't care about picking it up, Cheng Zhifu covered his head and rushed into the gate, those officials hurriedly withdrew and closed the door in a chaotic mess of stones, and finally closed the government before the people arrived, but tens of thousands of angry people outside were still blocked outside, and some people threw stones directly inside. But I don't know why, no one from the Third Division and the Procuratorate came out to interfere, but a large number of guards blocked the gates of these yamen, and even erected antlers to prevent the people from harassing them.

"This can't work, this is easy to be used by Yang Xin, you have to go to Wu Fangbo to stop it."

Li Juesi said.

He had heard too much of Yang Xin's routines in the capital, and he was about to go out after speaking, but he was directly stopped by Huang Shijun.

Li Juesi looked at him suspiciously.

"What do you think of last year's harvest?"

Huang Shijun said mysteriously.

"I've heard that's okay."

Li Juesi said.

"Has there ever been such a mess in a year like this?"

Huang Shijun said.

"Didn't you say that Yang Thief brought people to Macao, so that the rice that was originally shipped to Guangzhou was reduced?"

Li Juesi said.

"He has a total of 10,000 people, and he has been fishing there recently, and yesterday there was a boat that came back to sell the surimi produced there, so do you think he will cause a shortage of food in Guangzhou? Some people want to drive him away, but they don't dare to fight him openly, so they have to let the people be cannon fodder, but if you want the people to be cannon fodder, you have to make the people hate him first. ”

Huang Shijun said with a smile.

Without hesitation, Li Juesi threw himself at the window again.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, what's the use of you blocking here? It's all Yang Xin who harmed you, so Yang Xin snatched all your food, if you don't go to him, what's the use of blocking the government here? That Yang Xin is in Haojing, he robbed all the grain that was transported to Guangzhou, he made you hungry, so what are you waiting for, go out and get on the boat to Haojing, drive them out of Guangdong, and let them go back to the north! Let's go, don't let these people from other provinces bully us Cantonese people! ”

He shouted.

The people below looked at him.

"That's right, go to Haojing and drive these provincials out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Let's go, copy the guy out of the city, go and drive that traitor out of Guangdong!"

Another voice shouted.

"Let's go!"

"Copy guy!"

……

More and more voices join in to form a turbulent wave again.

Then it became the roar of everyone, and at the same time the crowd blocking the front of the government began to turn, and the raging torrent began to surge again.

"Look at it, this is Diao Min, what do they know? It's just a group of fools, let's shout a few words and they will believe it, this is the public opinion, let's manipulate how we want, say that the Yang thief is used to playing this game in the north, and drives Diao Min to deal with the gentry again and again, now I want to see what he can do, let's use Diao Min to deal with him now! ”

Li Juesi proudly opened the folding fan and said.

Suddenly, there was a piercing whistling in the sky, he turned his head with a frozen smugness, and watched in amazement as a trail of smoke crossed the blue sky, and then exploded over Guangzhou, the red smoke was particularly eye-catching in a piece of blue, and the next moment the explosion in the sky came, and with the explosion in the sky, the sound of the cannon firing also reached their ears......

"The Great East Gate, it's the Great East Gate!"

Liang Shiji exclaimed.
