Chapter 118: Sven sweeps the floor
"Silence!"
Yang Qing shouted at the cheering people.
The cheers that were spreading from front to back in the corridor gradually stopped.
He turned his gaze to the green worms.
"The Shi Pavilion Department is loyal to His Majesty, and he does not hesitate to risk his life for the Ming Dynasty to avoid the disaster of war among the people of Jiangnan.
He shouted righteously.
The eyes of the hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes in the imperial corridors on both sides gradually turned to these green insects.
The latter was silent.
They really had nothing to say for a while, those leading imperial historians did prepare ten major crimes for Shi Kefa, but they were all chasing after the wind, or it could also be said to be made up, fortunately, as the imperial historian, he had the right to hear about it, so even if it was found to be fake, it would be fine, he made up a story and said that the rumors he heard in the market could not be investigated.
Isn't it like this when children sang in ancient times?
But the problem is that these charges are all centered on the core content of Shi Kefa's collusion and rebellion, deliberately implementing the New Deal to cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty, and creating opportunities for Li Zicheng's army to go south, because they could not attack Shi Kefa in other things. Before agreeing to the new policy, Shi Kefa was the symbol of Donglin Qunxian, and he was the most satisfied Shoufu of Jiangnan Shilin, and attacking him before was to slap himself in the face, because they had spared no effort to praise it before, and Shi Kefa's personal aspect was also blameless, saying that he had any extravagance, lust, corruption and the like was in vain.
Then only make a fuss about his origin.
After all, he is a northerner, a Kaifeng person who has been razed by the Yellow River, but even if Kaifeng is razed by the Yellow River, it means that his hometown has the basis for collusion with Li Zicheng in the area controlled by Li Zicheng.
By the way, pull Gao Hongtu up again.
Lao Gao's family is from Jiaozhou, Shandong.
It is said that because their hometown is in Li Zicheng's territory, they have two hearts for Chongzhen, thinking of leading Li Zicheng south to be the leading party, and then gaining Li Zicheng's favor, belonging to selling the people of Jiangnan for glory.
Anyway, I'm just a hearsay.
Anyway, I don't have the responsibility to find evidence, it's the prerogative of the imperial history.
In this way, the northerners in the core of the Nanjing court can be completely swept away, and the southern officials completely control the cabinet and the six ministries, it should be said that this is not only a matter of being provoked by the new policy, but in essence, it is also the purge of the northern ministers by those local ministers in the south, Shi Kefa used to be the Donglin Party, so he can be special, but now he is a traitor, and it can be used as a model.
Can ...... now
How can this frame him for colluding with Li Zicheng?
"You can't tell? Then I'll speak for you! ”
Yang Qing sneered.
"What is the reason why the Shi Pavilion Department, which you call a model of the Zhengying Dynasty and a symbol of the sages, has become a traitor referred to by Qianfu overnight, and even framed in the form of a petition for Fuque? Isn't it because he agreed to His Majesty's new policy? Isn't it because he agreed to tax the gentry and exempt you from privileges for hundreds of years?
Then I'm curious?
Why can the people pay this endowment, but you can't pay it?
They are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are all subjects of the Ming Emperor, why are you so different? Are you nobler? The gentry in the ditch where Li Zicheng was killed by Li Zicheng and abandoned their bodies are no different from the starving people in the wilderness outside Beijing! So do you have more credit to the Ming than those people? Farmers can grow food, craftsmen can build weapons, soldiers can defend their homes, and even those traders can protect the flow of trade, so what can you do? It is useless to be a scholar, the only thing you can do is to write eight strands of writing and become an official, but your official is given by the emperor, and you are an official of the emperor.
Then I'm even more curious.
You eat the emperor's, drink the emperor's, use the emperor's, everything you are given by the emperor, so why can't the emperor ask you to collect some taxes? ”
Yang Qing shouted with a copper trumpet.
"Yes, why don't you pay taxes!"
"If you want to pay it, you can pay it the same!"
……
The shouts rang out from the corridor, and then then into a myriad of shouts.
Of course, the common people welcome this kind of thing.
Although the New Deal did not bring them much practical benefit, it was at least fair, why should the common people pay taxes to feed the officials, but the officials and gentry did not have to pay? They are all raised by fathers and mothers, why should you have privileges? In the past, we didn't dare to say it lightly, and there were no virtuous ministers to say it to the emperor for us, but now it is rare for a virtuous minister like Shi Kefa who cares about the people to stand up, plus the emperor is sympathetic to the people, and finally changed this, but you are immediately like a mad dog, you have to frame Shi Kefa as a traitor, and force the emperor to change it back, it is simply unreasonable!
You mean it's reasonable that you'll always be one level higher than us?
And then immediately people began to accuse the green worms.
And those green worms did not hesitate to fight back.
The quarrel between the two sides is becoming more and more intense, it is obvious that the gap between the people of our Ming Dynasty and the people of our Qing Dynasty is obvious, if the people of our Qing Dynasty dare to talk back with these masters, prison masters, Gongsheng masters, and even the Yushi adults, but our Ming people, especially the people of Jiangnan, because of their high literacy rate, and the fact that they have often been polluted by the apostate of the Taizhou school over the years, do not have much awe for the green worms.
Quarrel!
Who's afraid of whom!
You are rich and rich, and you are unparalleled in distinguishing talents, is it that our small people in the market are bad at scolding the street?
Do you speak the ways of the sages?
Ma's, on the turtle male!
"Sven sweeps the floor!"
Yang Qing stood on the Chengtian Gate, proudly watching those scoundrels besieging the green worms, the battle of tongues between the two sides was also exciting, but it was not the one who did it, which was a bit of a pity.
"You know Sven sweeping the floor, too?"
Shi Kefa said angrily.
Now he really swept the floor, he now understands how vicious this guy next to him is, this bastard is not trying to destroy the privileges of the gentry, he is purely ruining the high position of the literati, he is gradually lowering the literati to the same level as the scoundrel in the market, to be precise, he is pulling everyone in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the officials, gentlemen, soldiers, and craftsmen to a level.
Or rather, there is no high or low.
But is there something wrong with that?
Shi Kefa was at a loss.
"Silence!"
Yang Qing once again raised the loudspeaker and shouted.
He spoke well, and the chaos below gradually stopped, and everyone looked up at him.
"The royal street is the imperial city, you are here to disturb the holy hearing, leave immediately, otherwise the Jinyi guard will be forcibly expelled, from today onwards, a separate cordon will be set up between the east and west Chang'an gates, and no one north of the cordon will be allowed to stay!"
Yang Qing shouted.
The pattern of the Imperial City of Nanjing is the same as that of Beijing, it is a very long royal street stretched out to the south, the left and right Chang'an Gate are on both sides of the north side, and the main gate is the Daming Gate, the Royal Street goes straight to the Daming Gate from the Chengtian Gate, and the two sides of this Royal Street are the thousand-step corridor. Different from the Beijing Royal Street Thousand Steps Corridor actually only has a name, Nanjing's Thousand Steps Corridor is the same commercial street as the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street, countless shops are lined up on both sides, the common people pass through the east and west Chang'an Avenue shopping shows the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials enter and exit the imperial city are also these two gates, but they must get off the horse and enter on foot in front of the door. Therefore, he wanted to close this area, but he couldn't, and he had to drive away all the shops on both sides like Beijing, so he could only set up a separate cordon in the north, that is, south of Jinshui Bridge, to prevent anyone from blocking Chengtianmen.
When he finished shouting, those ordinary people immediately retreated to the range of the Thousand Steps Corridor, and only those green insects were left in front of the entire Chengtian Gate.
"You're not leaving!"
Yang Qing shouted at the green worms.
"Let's ask for the people's lives......"
One of the imperial historians raised his arms and shouted.
Behind him there was a chorus of boos, and it was clear that the people were against it.
"Let's ask for the people's lives, hoe traitors for the country, why should we be afraid of this eunuch, let's go, let's continue to move forward, let the emperor hear our voice, let the Ming Dynasty hear our voice, and let these eunuch traitors see what loyal ministers and righteous men are!"
That Yushi was thick-skinned enough to continue to shout impassionedly.
Then he stood up and walked forward, and the imperial historians got up one after another, and the green worms behind them also got up with the same determination, but some of them still stayed in place, and a few of them even stood up and left, but most of them still hugged together and walked onto the Jinshui Bridge. They soon arrived at the north of the bridge and approached Chengtianmen, and they shouted slogans one after another, and some people chanted poems, and the first one held high a copy of the ten charges of impeachment against Shi Kefa, although they could go directly to the book, but they were thrown aside by Wang Chengen, so this way must be adopted to force the emperor to take it personally.
"I can't blame me!"
Yang Qing said to Shi Kefa.
"Are you all ready?"
He turned to one of the brocade guards.
"Sir, I'm just waiting for your order!"
The brocade guard said.
Yang Qing looked at the green insects who had all walked through the Jinshui Bridge, and the imperial history at the front was even about to reach the city gate.
"Let's get started!"
He went on to say.
"What do you want to do?"
Shi Kefa said vigilantly.
"Nothing, just to sober them up!"
Yang Qing said with a wicked smile.
At this moment, the wooden doors of the Chengtianmen tower behind him opened one after another, and a team of brocade guards walked out with lead pipes, and quickly erected them on the arrow stacks of the city wall, like a row of cannon mouths aimed at the outside of the city, and the other end of these pipes extended into the magnificent tower of Chengtianmen, inside you can see things like pillars stretching down from above, and these outward thin pipes are connected with these huge pillars.
Yang Qing glanced at Shi Kefa proudly.
"Put!"
Then he said.
"Let the water go!"
The brocade guard shouted at the top floor of the city tower more than ten meters high.
A strange sound came from the tubes, and the next moment all the pipes spewed out water columns almost at the same time, and in the severe cold of at least five degrees below zero after the snow in the wax moon, with the north wind turned into water dragons and fell into the green insects......
