Chapter 438: Non-Violent Non-Cooperation Movement

Zhao Kuangyin was also a little surprised, what kind of freaks are Du Dalei and his gang! They can provide high-quality and low-cost weapons to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Wuliangye wine that swept Bianliang City, all kinds of delicacies in Quanjude, the strange book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and those beautiful tunes and lyrics.

Unexpectedly, the liquor tax paid by Wuliangye reached an astonishing more than 80,000 yuan a month! Now the Great Song Dynasty has just established the country, after nearly a hundred years of melee in the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, the Central Plains is dilapidated, and the people of the world are in urgent need of recuperation. Moreover, in recent years, natural disasters have continued, droughts, locust plagues, and floods alternately, which have made the Great Song Dynasty anxious.

Moreover, the Khitan and Northern Han in the north are eyeing the Central Plains. The Great Song Dynasty was in urgent need of money and materials to pacify the place. The forbidden army also needed high-quality weapons to strengthen its combat power in order to crusade against Houshu, Southern Tang and other rich areas in the south.

Now it seems that Du Dalei and his gang really can't move lightly!

Zhao Kuangyin was very entangled, and was silent for a long time.

Zhao Pu thought to himself, originally the official family wanted to kill this Du Dalei, but Li Chongju, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, and Lu Yuqing didn't want to kill him! Although Zhao Guangyi was silent, he definitely wanted to protect Du Dalei, because the weapon deal with Du Dalei was negotiated by Zhao Guangyi, which is a great achievement! There is also Li Jilong's erector, his father and Zhao Guangyi have a good relationship, Zhao Guangyi knew that Li Jilong was involved in this matter, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, he must have wanted to fool the past.

Zhao Pu cleared his throat: "Ahem, Your Majesty, Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, you can't ignore the dignity of the court and let Du Dalei go because of petty profits, right?" ”

At this time, Wang Jien hurriedly walked in.

He gave Zhao Kuangyin a solemn salute:

"Official, now there are many people gathered outside the Donghua Gate, and they don't speak, they just sit there. Many people held signs with words asking for the pardon of Du Dalei. Now more and more people are gathered, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people. ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi was in a cold sweat at that time.

"Brother Huang, when I entered the palace just now, there was no movement outside. I don't know what's going on. ”

"Then go and investigate!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a calm face.

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly walked out of the Wende Hall and ran to the east of the palace.

Out of Donghua Gate, he saw a scene of a sea of people.

The soldiers of the forbidden army lined up in three columns and blocked the Donghua Gate. Not far from the soldiers, the ground was black and full of people from Bianliang City.

They all sat silently, and the scene was very strange.

In the crowd, many people held signs with the words "Release Du Dalei".

Zhao Guangyi walked behind the soldiers of the forbidden army and saw that most of the people sitting in the front row were scholars from Guozijian, as well as some candidates who took the imperial examination this year, including Li Jingyang, the champion of this department.

These scholars and people are Cui Daoshu's big strokes that have been busy all night.

Cui Daoshu first sent someone to find the hooligan leader of Bianliang City, Hu San Donkey, who had dealt with Du Dalei in Sangjiawazi.

After giving Hu San a donkey worth 500 yuan worth of gold, silver and silk, this guy walked away.

Then he began to mobilize his younger brother, as well as the city fox society rats who were familiar with Bianliang City. These people were full of energy, and soon mobilized many people who hated Wang Jixun very much, and came to Donghuamen in the morning to stage a sit-in demonstration.

This move of Cui Dao's envoy was the ----- non-violent non-resistance movement led by Mahatma Gandhi of India in later generations.

For these people and scholars who were sitting silently, Zhao Guangyi was helpless and had no way.

He walked up to Li Jingyang and asked softly: "Li Jingyang, as the champion of today's department, don't you know that the national law is ruthless?" Why take someone to sit here? Is it dissatisfaction with the imperial court? ”

Li Jingyang stood up and gave Zhao Guangyi a deep salute: "Lord Fu Yin, the people are not brought by students. They are all based on righteous indignation to denounce Wang Jixun, the cannibalistic demon. In addition, they all hope that the imperial court can open up to Mr. Du and release Mr. Du to the people. ”

The other scholars and people were silent, but their eyes were full of anger when they looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi swallowed his saliva and felt a little like a thorn in his back. It seems that the people of Kaifeng are very angry! The imperial brother's treatment of Wang Jixun is indeed unpopular with the people.

Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Li Jingyang, you are the representative of the scholars. Can you persuade the scholars and the people to go back first? It's not a good idea for you to sit here. I'll go into the palace and convey your thoughts to the emperor, can you go back first?" ”

Li Jingyang shook his head: "I'm sorry, the student can only represent myself, and I can't make decisions for others." Master Fu Yin, the students have read the books of the sages since they were young, and learned the subtle words and meanings of the sages. May I ask Lord Fu Yin, Wang Jixun is lawless, careless of human life, and actually eats human flesh raw. Such a villain, does His Majesty the Emperor still want to protect him? Where is the axiom? What is morality? Please help your students. ”

Zhao Guangyi was silent, he had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the palace.

Back in Wende Palace, Zhao Kuangyin was discussing something with several important ministers.

"How's it going out there?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and told the story of the incident.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened. Zeping, do you have any good solutions to solve it? ”

Zhao Pu arched his hand to Zhao Kuangyin: "Your Majesty, I want to come here with Weichen, and now I want to calm down the people's dissatisfaction as soon as possible." As for how to do it, Weichen has no good way. ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked at everyone present again, and saw that they all had embarrassed expressions, presumably there was nothing they could do.

At this time, Cao Bin opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, only by letting Du Dalei go first, can this matter be settled." ”

"Put? How can this be? Don't you want the face of the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Kuangyin said unhappily.

Cao Bin explained: "Your Majesty, what Weichen means, let Du Dalei go first, but he must be put under house arrest and cannot leave Bianliang City." Then let the Criminal Department and Yushitai try the case as soon as possible, and let Du Dalei go to the court for interrogation at any time. ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "There won't be any accidents like this, right?" ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Brother Huang, it's better to put Du Dalei under house arrest in Daxiangguo Temple." Master Yuanqing looked at him, he definitely couldn't run away. Then the people had nothing to say. After all, the status of Daxiangguo Temple in the hearts of the people is still very lofty. ”

Li Chongju asked puzzledly: "Can the monks of Daxiangguo Temple do it?" Can they really look at Du Dalei? ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "This is also a way, Master Yuanqing is a person who can be trusted, so let's do it." ”

Zhao Guangyi bowed down and received the order: "Brother Chen, let's do it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin instructed Wang Jien again: "You let the Imperial City Division keep an eye on the Great Xiangguo Temple, and you must not let Du Dalei run away." ”

------------------ ----------------- ---------------------

At noon, the brigade of Kaifeng Mansion escorted Du Dalei to the Daxiangguo Temple.

Zhao Guangyi came to the quiet room where Master Yuanqing lived, and a small novice invited him in.

After Zhao Guangyi entered the door, he found that the monk Yuanqing was sitting on a low couch with his eyes closed. Next to him is Taechin, who is leaning on the collapse and gulping down a drink.

Yuan Qing opened his triangular eyes and said slowly: "Master Zhao, what is the matter here?" ”

Zhao Guangyi folded his hands respectfully: "Master Yuanqing, there is something to trouble you. The imperial brother wanted to temporarily detain Du Dalei in Daxiangguo Temple, and asked the master to take care of him. ”

Yuan Qing's face was a little worried: "This guy is very troublesome, he dared to kill the emperor's brother-in-law at the gate of the palace, he is really a bold guy." But the poor monk is never afraid of trouble, so bring him in. ”

Tai Qin stood up and asked with drunken eyes, "Lord Fu Yin, this kid didn't suffer anything, did he?" ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head: "No, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion takes good care of him." ”

"You're not right, this kid is very arrogant, you should clean him up and let him remember it for a long time, so as not to get into trouble everywhere."

Zhao Guangyi was dumbfounded, isn't this Taiqin monk on good terms with Du Dalei? How could he be a little gloating?

Tai Qin burped: "Uh, Lord Fu Yin, you should clean up Du Dalei's second goods." There are not many scourges like him in the world, and you shouldn't let him go so easily. ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that Taiqin was drunk, and he didn't want to talk to him more, so he ordered the officials to bring Du Dalei in.

After a while, Du Dalei staggered in.

After he came in, he snatched the wine gourd from Tai Qin's hand and took a big sip.

"Ah, that's cool! In the past few days, Lao Tzu's mouth has faded out of the bird! I said wine and meat monk, Lao Tzu is in prison in Kaifeng Mansion, but you are happy here, this is too unfair. ”

Tai Qin squinted his eyes and said, "You second goods, don't you know how much trouble you have caused?" You should be locked up for a few more years, and you will be deprived of all your anger. ”

"Hey, I said wine and meat monk, why are you gloating? Lao Tzu is doing harm for the people, if you don't praise me, forget it, why do you still fall into the well? Lao Tzu should definitely be elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people, you should give Lao Tzu a certificate of merit, give out some bonuses, and then find a few beautiful girls to accompany Lao Tzu to soothe my young traumatized heart. ”

Zhao Guangyi sighed, he really didn't want to listen to Du Dalei's nonsense. said goodbye to Master Yuanqing and left with the people of Kaifeng Mansion.

When Du Dalei saw that Zhao Guangyi was gone, he sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I finally don't have to be beheaded, it's really uncomfortable to be scared! I said Monk Taiqin, have you missed me these days? ”

Tai Chin rolled his eyes, "What do you want you to do?" It's better to drink more good wine, out of sight and out of mind. ”
