Chapter 12: The situation is out of control
The vertical arch hall is not far from the main gate of Li at the south gate of the imperial city, and Li Eun returned not long after, and said to Zhu Chongli: "Shengshang, Ouyang Dong, the Tai student, took the students of Guozijian and Taixue, and a group of ordinary people gathered outside the Li Zheng Gate to demand the release of Li Yue. There were probably tens of thousands of people! ”
How could the people who originally besieged Dali Temple run outside the imperial city?
The course of the matter is like this, the students and the people asked the jailers who confronted them about Li Yue's situation in prison, but I don't know which stunned Qing sent the temple Cheng He Shou to Li Yue for the first time, and stabbed out the news that Li Yue was beaten all over his body.
This undoubtedly ignited the powder keg. The people who were already very excited suddenly lost control, and seemed to have the urge to rush into the Dali Temple to rob the prison.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wangu Ai asked all the officials and jailers to retreat into the Dali Temple and close the gate.
The angry crowd then went to Lin'an Mansion and demanded that Lin'an Mansion take care of the matter. Lin'an Mansion happens to be vacant, not to mention that Lin'an Mansion can't manage the affairs of Dali Temple, and the people in Lin'an Mansion don't want to come out and cause trouble.
The students and the people went to the Yushitai again, and the Yushitai sent a small official out to prevaricate, but they didn't even see the official in charge, and everyone was on fire in their hearts.
Ouyang Dong shouted and shouted: "Everyone, if we don't do anything, we don't stop, it's better to beat the drum and knock on the book." ”
Ouyang Dong's proposal quickly received a warm response from the masses, and his classmates in Taixue soon found a shop to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Ouyang Dong waved his pen, and in the blink of an eye, the book of ten thousand words was completed: asking the emperor to release Li Yue, Wang Teng and Du Sanjin, Tang Hao, Wan Gu Ai, He Shou and so on.
After the ten thousand words were written, they were read out in public, and everyone marched towards the imperial city, and tens of thousands of people knelt on the royal street outside the main gate of Li, and a large piece of black crows and crows was almost more than 100 zhang.
Then Ouyang Dong took the lead in kneeling three times and knocking nine times, and after shouting long live three times, he cried loudly, and the crying shook the sky for a while, and even the inner palace could hear it.
This is a major event that has never been seen since the founding of the Great Liang, and the officials are at a loss and do not know how to deal with it.
Zhu Chongli was annoyed and upset when he heard this, and said: "What kind of system is it like this?" ”
Tang Hao frowned and said, "Wait for the ministers to go out and persuade them to disperse." ”
Wen Bin also said: "The old minister should go the same way as the soup." ”
Zhao Ji's face looked a little better, and said, "In this case, I have annoyed the two Aiqing." ”
The two of them arrived outside the main gate of Li under the protection of the guards, and Tang Hao was a little surprised to see that there were so many people, and asked, "Why did you come here to beat the drum?" ”
Everyone saw that Tang Hao was angry, and Ouyang Dong said proudly: "The student is here for Li Yue, the banner leader of the Holy Protector Army!" ”
Tang Hao shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to be so rude." ”
Ouyang Dong sneered: "Students don't know what etiquette is. A shameless villain like Wangu Ai can also be in charge of Dali Temple, but a loyal person like Li Yue will be imprisoned. Students dare to ask Tang Xiang, where is the etiquette of the imperial court? ”
Xiao Ning'er, who was beside Ouyang Dong, also said loudly: "That day, the ghost wanted to be a rude girl on the street, and Brother Yue had to fight, I really don't know what the crime is?" ”
Tang Hao snorted and said sharply: "If there is a grievance in this case. If you want to appeal, you can go to Dali Temple, or you can go to Lin'an Mansion, what are you doing here? It is a great sin to disturb the holy car for such a trivial matter! Don't go away quickly! ”
"Dali Temple and Lin'an Mansion are closed, we have no way to sue, only to sue this royal state. We are dedicated to the country and have no selfish intentions, even if we are charged with any crime? Xiao Ning'er said with a sneer, she joined in when she saw the crowd of people marching on Lin'an Street to complain pass by the door of her tavern. It was about rescuing Li Yue, and she had been at the front of the team with Ouyang Dongchong.
Ouyang Dong also said: "Please Tang Chengxiang take our 10,000-word book and give the world an answer." As he spoke, he handed the book of ten thousand words to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao took the book of ten thousand words and looked at it, changed color miserably, and said, "It's okay!" That's it! ”
handed it to Wen Bin, turned around and walked towards the palace. Wen Bin looked at it, this 10,000-word letter not only asked Zhu Chongli to issue an order to release Li Yue, but also asked the emperor to remove He Shou, the temple leader of the Dali Temple, Wan Aigu, who was in charge of the Dali Temple, and even had a left-hand minister Tang Hao.
After reading it for a long time, Wen Bin said sharply: "Where do you want to put your father in this way?" ”
Wang Wenbin of Wu'an County is second only to Zong Peng, who unjustly killed Dali Temple during the Xingguo period. At this time, Ouyang Dong was not afraid of this old prince, raised his head at the moment, and replied loudly: "The prince's words are inappropriate, the saint is a Ming monarch, and we will not damage Your Majesty's wisdom if we do this." If the saint can conform to the will of the people, it will be passed on as a good story for the ages. ”
Wen Bin sneered loudly: "You obviously want to coerce the people to coerce the Holy Lord. This case is handled by the imperial court, and you are acting like this, how do you want the people of the world to view Your Majesty? ”
"If Your Majesty can accept it, the people of the world should know that the kings and ministers of this dynasty are virtuous. The people of later generations should also praise the emperor's virtue of forgiveness and benevolence and love for the people. "Ouyang Dong is very eloquent.
Wen Bin did not back down, and asked sharply: "Since you have entered the Book of Ten Thousand Words, why are you still kneeling here?" It should be dispersed quickly, waiting for the disposal of the Holy Lord and the imperial court, and it is not happy to kneel here, what is the intention? If kneeling here has to be a result, what is the difference between this and coercing the court? ”
Wen Bin and Ouyang Dong's dialogue, everyone heard it clearly, Xiao Ning'er had already recognized that the king of Wu'an County was the old man who promised to help rescue Li Yue in his tavern two days ago, but she didn't stand with everyone at this time, and she was inevitably disappointed.
Some people hesitated, thinking that the king of Wu'an was reasonable, but he did not take the lead to leave, no one wanted to take the lead, and the neighbors who came today did not want to be regarded as a bad seed in the future, and they would not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
But no matter who it is, for these students and people who do not oppose the consciousness of the imperial court in their hearts, Wen Bin's final question is difficult to answer. Even Ouyang Dong was speechless for a while and couldn't answer.
Wen Bin originally just wanted to create a momentum to rescue Li Yue, but he didn't expect that the momentum he created was so big that it was out of his control. This may seem like an accident, but it is inevitable. The people of Daliang have long had grievances against the lords and forces in the imperial court, and they only dare to be angry but dare not speak out on weekdays, and the Li Yue case is just the fuse for the outbreak of anger among the people.
Wen Bin was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and dissuade everyone. Otherwise, allowing them to continue to make trouble will only increase the difficulty of rescuing Li Yue by themselves. But Li Eun suddenly appeared and announced in a loud voice: "The king of Xuanwu Anjun is here!" ”
Wen Bin had no choice but to follow Li Huan'an to meet the emperor.
However, tens of thousands of enthusiastic students and people in front of Lizhengmen could not understand Wen Bin's state of mind, and tens of thousands of people knelt quietly on the royal street, silently waiting for the emperor's reply.
