Gan Hu saw the expectant expressions of Lu Mengxiong and the others, stood up and arched his hand: "First of all, I apologize to the three senior brothers, the younger brother is from Ji Zhonghou Mansion, Ji Zhonghou is the father of the younger brother, and the reason why he secretly studied Taixue is to reduce unnecessary trouble. ”

"The person who talked to everyone that day was brought by the younger brother, and everyone was afraid that they had already guessed that he was from the Gan family, and he was the nephew of the younger brother, named Gan Tang."

"Could it be the son of Gan Feng, the king of Xiangyang, Gantang?" Lu Mengxiong asked.

Di Bo said: "Exactly, this matter is entrusted by the prince, I hope that the three of them can keep this secret, except for the three, they can tell Shi Zui and Li Mo'an this secret." The prince also instructed everyone that everything is based on safety, you are all the future of Great Xia, and don't put yourself in danger. This action only allowed the imperial court to see the people's attitude towards the reform of the law. Don't have the idea of confronting the court. so as not to cause unnecessary losses. ”

Lu Mengxiong and the other three discussed in a low voice for a moment, and the three of them stood up and said, "Time is urgent, we will go back now to mobilize the students and strive to march on the streets early tomorrow morning!" ”

Gan Hu said: "Please one of the three of you can enter the inner city with me to inform the two senior brothers Shi and Li, from now on, I will act with you." ”

Di Bo raised a cup of tea, "In the face of national righteousness, Di Mou toasts everyone with tea instead of wine!" ”

The four of them bowed to Dibo, turned and walked away quickly.

Xiangyang Palace, Jizhong Hall.

Di Bo asked in a low voice, "Does the prince think they can stop the decision of the imperial court?" ”

Gan Tang shook his head, "More than seventy percent of the officials are not in favor of changing the law, the Queen Mother and the members of the Political Affairs Hall are all vested interests, and they are even more iron-hearted, that is, Ling Zun and several of my uncles are opponents of the change, and it is difficult for the students and ordinary people to change the decision of the imperial court." ”

Di Bo said dejectedly: "Then why does the prince still .......?"

Gan Tang smiled faintly, "Tai student is a very important political resource, the two of us have no foundation in the imperial court, if this political resource can be mastered by us, it will be of great use at a critical moment in the future." ”

In the afternoon of this day, the Sanyuan Restaurant outside the north gate of the Taixue Upper House in the South Campus, although noon is the time to drink tea, but the restaurant has been a bit chaotic in the past two months, and every day from morning to night is full of students who come here to drink and talk about state affairs.

"The failure to provide disaster relief was originally caused by the inaction of the Jiankang Mansion, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng is in Fujian, how can he blame Prime Minister Wang Cheng for being a traitor and a eunuch in power, resulting in loyal ministers being demoted and the dynasty in a coma!"

Several students made a generous statement, angrily rebuking the darkness of the court.

"Over the years, we have all seen, the upper magnates are arrogant and lascivious, and the lower states and counties are knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow of the people, a drought will make the rich Jiangnan into a dilapidation, and the official warehouse and old rice are piled up, in order to oppose the change of the law, frame the prime minister Wang, and make a bet on the lives of the people, causing the people's grievances to boil, the family masters the government, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the national strength is empty, and the armament is scarce, so that the Yan people have a chance to take advantage of it, this is the root cause of the fall of Hebei, if it is not corrected from the root, Daxia will always beg under the iron hooves of the Yan people!"

The student who said this is Li Mo'an, who is one of the leaders of the Taixue students, and has a very high prestige among the students, and his words attracted the warm applause of hundreds of students in the restaurant, at this time, his friend Shi Zui pulled him to sit down, poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Don't be excited, drink a glass of wine first!" ”

Li Mo'an drank all the wine in the cup, and he said depressedly: "The only poor ruler in the political hall, if he wants to reduce the burden of the poor, he just proposes the reform of 'spreading the land into the mu', and the rich can exercise such a method?" ”

Shi Zui shook his head, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." The drought left the poor hungry, but it was a good opportunity for the families to make a windfall, and only when there was a shortage of food in the world, the old grain in the warehouse could be sold for a good price. ”

"Didn't you say that the grain in the warehouse wasn't there to prepare for war? It is impossible to use it easily. ”

"They can listen to them! The northern Yan State has even more military rations, and it has been robbed ruthlessly in the past few years, but a large amount of land north of the Yangtze River has been abandoned, or the Yan people would have raised troops to the south. ”

"What do you say it's not that simple?" Li Mo'an asked in amazement.

"No, it won't! Didn't the two countries sign an agreement! This is an agreement between the two countries, how can it be a child's play? ”

Shi Zui snorted, "We Daxia and Dazi have signed an alliance less?" Didn't they say tear it up? Do you still expect Yan Guo to abide by the agreement? Just find an excuse and it's scrapped. ”

At this time, a Tai student hurriedly ran in, found Shi Zui and said urgently: "I got the news that today the imperial court will send 100,000 deniers of grain to Yan State to relieve the drought in Hebei. ”

"What!"

Shi Zui slapped the table and said angrily: "The refugees outside the city are waiting to be fed, and the imperial court doesn't want to help, but they send food to the opponent?" ”

Li Mo'an grabbed the student, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"The news is exact, my father is a warehouse envoy, and he is also difficult to understand, just now he told me personally."

At this time, several Tai student leaders surrounded Shi Zui together and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" ”

Shi Zui looked up at Gan Hu and Chen Fu.

Chen Fu nodded.

Shi Zui gritted his teeth and said: "This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, we must put pressure on the imperial court!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, more than 20,000 Tai students suddenly appeared on the royal street, carrying the statue of a saint, holding high slogans and banners, shouting slogans, and gathered in front of the Xuande Building to demonstrate.

opposed the shameless demands of the Yan State, and strongly opposed the imperial court to subsidize the Yan State with food when the victims outside the city could not be helped.

The news of the shipment of grain to Yan quickly spread, shocking the whole city of Jiankang, and the people of the whole city were angry that the political hall actually made such a ridiculous decision.

More than 200,000 people in the capital rushed to the royal street to join the demonstration of the Tai students, and a huge demonstration began in front of the imperial city.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing said in a fierce tone: "King Yu thwarted the invasion of Yan twice in Xiangfan and Zhennan City, forcing Yan to negotiate peace with us, when we are full of disasters and urgently need food for disaster relief, who decided to transport grain to Yan during this sensitive period, this is undoubtedly self-destruction of the Great Wall, how can we explain to the people of the world, the cries of hundreds of thousands of people outside, don't you hear it?" ”

Cao Lei played: "Wu Lin has always been responsible for transporting grain to Yan Guo, and according to him, he delivered the grain regularly according to the agreement between Xia and Yan. Regarding the delivery of grain to Yan Guo today, the political affairs hall did not know. ”

Outside, Taixue and inside turned the sky upside down, and the water around the gate of the imperial city was blocked, and the five thousand classes responsible for maintaining order in the imperial city held a big shield and wooden stick, blocking the Taixue who attacked the palace gate dozens of steps away.

I don't know who took the lead in throwing bricks and tiles at Ban Zhi, and then the two sides pushed and yelled at each other.

The conflict escalated, and one of the students was beaten on the head with a wooden stick and bled out.

The students were angry, they pushed to the horses set up by the class, the stones were thrown at the soldiers like raindrops, the soldiers raised their shields to resist, at this time, hundreds of students held a big log, shouted and rushed towards the soldiers, the team was in chaos, but the wood was finally forcibly stopped by the soldiers, the soldiers brandished thick wooden sticks and hit the students with their heads and faces, and dozens of people were beaten to the head and blood, fell to the ground, and were rescued by other students.

"Shameless! There's a kind of going to fight the swallows! ”

The students shouted angrily: "You will only suppress the people who have no iron left!" ”

The 5,000 soldiers, however, did not retreat at all, and rebuilt the sandbag wall.

Angry students threw bricks and stones at the soldiers again, and thousands of students climbed over sandbags, rushed into the ranks, and tore into the soldiers' fights, causing chaos outside the palace gates.

Lu Mengxiong, one of the student leaders, was dragged by Gan Hu in the direction of Xiangyang Palace........

Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Mengxiong came to Gan Tang's bedside, Gan Tang pondered for a long time, and said to Lu Mengxiong: "I underestimated the imperial court's determination to change, for everyone's safety, this operation must change the strategy!" ”

"What did the prince say we should do next?"

"Many students are more emotional, now it is impossible to cancel the operation, you go to Shi Zui, let him encourage the emotional students to attack Wu Lin's mansion, the blood of patriotic students cannot be shed in vain, and you must always teach the traitors some lessons. It also allows the students to vent their anger. ”

"The more sane students stayed in front of the palace to demonstrate for half an hour, covering the actions of the students who attacked Wu Lin's mansion, and then evacuated."

Gan Tang sighed and looked at Lu Mengxiong apologetically, "I'm sorry!" ”

Lu Mengxiong shook his head, "We underestimated the shamelessness of Jia Ru and others, and it has nothing to do with the prince." ”

Gan Tang thought for a while and said: "I estimate that the imperial court will retaliate afterwards, after this incident is over, all the student leaders who participated in organizing this operation must take refuge temporarily, and those who have a safe place to stay in Beijing must be transferred quickly." If you have no relatives or friends, you can take refuge in my mansion, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up, and when the time is right, I will arrange for you to go out of the city to avoid the limelight. ”

"Thank you for your help!"

Lu Mengxiong saluted Gan Tang, turned around and returned to the scene of the conflict in front of the palace with Gan Hu along the way he came.

Di Bo watched Lu Mengxiong walk away, and said to Gan Tang: "I don't know who gave Jia Ru the bad idea, and actually sent troops to suppress the Tai Student, which pushed the Tai Student to the opposite side of the imperial court at once, in fact, sending a highly respected minister to persuade the Tai Student, knowing it with affection, and enticing it to benefit, it will also have a good effect, but the most stupid method was used." ”

Gan Tang sneered: "You have seen Jia Ru's performance when King Chong'an rebelled!" Usually, you can still be calm and calm, vertical and horizontal. Once the situation is critical, IQ and EQ are equal to zero. ”

More than 300 students have been injured at the demonstration site, hundreds of people have been arrested, and more than 100 soldiers have been injured by bricks and stones.

At this time, Lu Mengxiong returned to Taixue and found the leader Shi Zui, who immediately summoned more than a dozen Taixue representatives to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Mengxiong is smarter, there are many people here, and the follow-up action is just to seek everyone's opinion on suspending the operation.

An elderly student said angrily: "It's not impossible to pause, it's just that the imperial court actually used the army to suppress us, it's too chilling." ”

Everyone was extremely angry at the actions of the imperial court, but in the end they unanimously agreed to cancel the parade for the time being.

Li Mo'an put all the grain transportation from the imperial court to Yan Guo on Wu Lin, and put forward a proposal to destroy Wu Lin's Shilang Mansion. and the following action arrangement.

Everyone agreed.

In the end, everyone went their separate ways.

Li Mo'an and Gan Hu led more than 4,000 students to quietly break away from the brigade and rush to the mansion of Wu Lin, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had just taken office, not far away.

Lu Mengxiong and Chen Fu took the injured Tai student and placed him for medical treatment.

Shi Zui and Peng Mingzhi continued to lead the other students in the demonstration, but they were much more civilized than just now, and most of the students began to sit-in and shout slogans under the appeasement of Shi Zui and others.

An hour later, a student sent a letter to the commander of the temple to stop the march, and tens of thousands of students disbanded and returned to their dormitories.
