Chapter 433: Trouble
Chapter 433: Trouble
June 16, the second year of the Great Song Dynasty (964 AD)
A few days have passed, and Zhao Kuangyin still has not punished Wang Jixun.
There was a lot of discussion in Bianliang City, many young scholars couldn't hold back, they gathered together every day to talk and talk, and many people wanted to go to the palace to petition, hoping that Zhao Kuangyin could deal with Wang Jixun severely.
Most of the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but quietly talked about this matter in private, and they were also very dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty.
In the backyard of Quanjude, Du Dalei, Li Jilong, and Cui Daoshu were listening to Pang Xu's report on the movements in Bianliang City.
"Bang!"
Du Dalei smashed his fist on the trunk of the big tree, and the branches shook violently.
"Hmph, what does Zhao Kuangyin want to do? Does he still want to shield this brute? Such a scumbag should have been killed alive! ”
Li Jilong said in a hurry: "Brother, it's not appropriate for you to say this about the official family. Don't let outsiders hear about it, that's going to get you into trouble. ”
Du Dalei continued to spray: "I'm afraid of him as a bird!" Don't make Lao Tzu anxious, otherwise I won't give Zhao Da the armament and let him stare dryly! ”
Cui Daoshu persuaded: "Lao Du, it's useless for you to be in a hurry. I see that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't want to clean up Wang Jixun at all, so he has been dragging it out. He must have wanted to wait for public opinion to calm down before quietly letting Wang Jixun go. ”
Du Dalei was indignant: "What he thinks is beautiful, Lao Tzu will never agree." If he let Wang Jixun go, Lao Tzu would personally slaughter this beast! ”
Li Jilong followed and shouted: "Brother, count me in!" I'm definitely going with you! ”
Cui Daoshu was a little helpless: "Xiao Lizi, don't follow the coaxing, if we kill Wang Jixun, we will run back to the south then, and nothing will happen." So what about your Li family? Don't you think about the family? ”
Li Jilong was stupid, lowered his head and pondered.
Pang Xu said thoughtfully: "It's not difficult to kill Wang Jixun, but there are so many of us, and we are in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, too far from the sea, how can we run?" Don't you want any of the industries in Bianliang City? ”
"That can't let this animal live, you don't want things and money, as long as our people run out." Du Dalei said.
Cui Daoshu's face was a little solemn: "Lao Du, things haven't come to that point yet, we have to think about it in the long run, let's wait and see what happens." ”
Du Dalei shook his head: "We can't do nothing, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well every day." Everyone wants to find a way not to let Wang Jixun go unpunished. ”
Cui Daoshu said: "We must use the power of public opinion, Pang Xu, you send people to buy the gangsters in Bianliang City, let them spend more money, and let the gangsters spread the news in Bianliang City, saying that the emperor will not punish Wang Jixun, and will let him continue to be an official, and still serve as the commander of the forbidden army." ”
Du Dalei slapped his thigh: "This method is good!" However, after letting our people buy the gangsters, they immediately left Bianliang City and went back to Jiangnan directly. We can't let Zhao Kuangyin grab our handle. ”
Cui Daoshu exclaimed: "Lao Du, you are very good, you have learned to use your brain, it's not easy, it's not easy!" ”
Du Dalei was ashamed: "That's it, I didn't watch a lot of spy war dramas back then!" Isn't it a piece of cake to spread some news out? ”
Li Jilong said: "Brother, there are a lot of idlers in my family, let them go with them?" ”
Du Dalei shook his head: "No, the people in your family are too conspicuous to let them go." We can't involve your family in this matter, so don't meddle. ”
Li Jilong was a little disapproving: "It's okay, if you don't do something, I don't want to go." ”
Cui Daoshu said firmly: "Absolutely not, you can't cause trouble for your father." He just demoted his official position last year, and if you anger the emperor again, your family will be unlucky. Zhao Pu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is looking for an opportunity to clean up your Li family, you can't be impulsive. ”
Du Dalei also followed: "Yes, yes, your father and Zhao Guangyi are in the same group, but Zhao Pu is a thorn in his eye, and he can't give him a chance to clean up your house." You kid be honest, don't make any moths! ”
Li Jilong was very moved: "Okay, I listen to my two brothers, and I will never cause trouble for my family." ”
-------------------- ---------------------- -----------------
Two days later, public opinion in Bianliang City was raging, and the scholars couldn't hold it back, so they gathered in groups and gathered at the gate of the palace.
The Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division have been keeping an eye on these scholars, and they immediately sent people to the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace to report to them.
After Zhao Guangyi received the news, he immediately issued an order for everyone in Kaifeng Mansion to gather and immediately lead them to the palace.
The royal street leading to the palace was crowded with onlookers eating melons, and when they saw the brigade of Kaifeng Mansion coming violently, they all dodged and made way for them.
Zhao Guangyi rode on the horse, very worried. I hope there won't be anything out of control, otherwise the royal brother will definitely not be able to spare himself. In that case, Zhao Pu will definitely fall into the ground, and he will definitely not give up the opportunity to weaken his strength.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Lord Fu Yin, when did you kill Wang Jixun?" ”
"yes, what are you keeping him for?"
Many people shouted along, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion reprimanded a few words, but it had no effect at all.
Zhao Guangyi frowned, this is public opinion! Wang Jixun abused and killed the woman, and the people felt the same way, what if one day it was their family's turn? Who will avenge the people?
Zhao Guangyi felt very ashamed, he was a little shameless in the face of these people, so he had to lower his head and say nothing, urge the horses, and walk towards the palace.
Come to the square in front of the palace, where thousands of people have gathered. Outside the palace, a large number of forbidden soldiers lined up in an array, blocking the gate of the palace with swords and guns.
Hundreds of soldiers stood in front of the soldiers, shouting slogans angrily, demanding that Wang Jixun be executed.
Zhao Guangyi sighed: "Hey, it's a big deal!" The royal brother said that he should treat these scholars well, they can't beat or scold, they can only persuade each other with good words. ”
Zhao Guangyi dismounted and instructed several officials: "You open a road, and the official will go in and talk to these scholars." ”
The officials opened the way in front of them, dispersed the onlookers, and opened a way.
Zhao Guangyi walked into the crowd with the subordinate officials of Kaifeng Mansion and came to the front of the scholars.
When the scholars saw a group of officials and officials entering, they all looked sideways and stopped shouting.
Zhao Guangyi asked, "Which of you is the leader, come out and speak." ”
A gentleman in his twenties walked out, he was very thin, his face was dark, and he looked angry.
"Lord Fu Yin, student Li Jingyang, I have given you a salute."
Zhao Guangyi bowed slightly: "Aren't you the champion of Jinke?" The official saw you during the palace examination. ”
Li Jingyang gave a deep salute to Zhao Guangyi: "It's just that it's just not talented, the student wants to ask Lord Fu Yin, why hasn't the official family dealt with Wang Jixun?" Is it because the official family wants to shelter this villain? Please clear up our doubts. ”
"Yes, yes, please explain."
"Wang Jixun is full of evil, hurry up and punish him."
"Please face up to public opinion and kill Wang Jixun!"
Many of the soldiers were clamoring, and the scene was chaotic, and many people were shouting along with them.
Zhao Guangyi sighed secretly, things are not easy to do! If these young scholars make trouble, it will be a real headache!
Li Jingyang turned around and said to everyone: "Don't make a noise first, listen to Lord Fu Yin." ”
The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi said helplessly: "Please wait for a while, and the official will enter the palace to speak to the official." I'll give you an answer soon. ”
Li Jingyang arched his hand to Zhao Guangyi: "Then it's bothering Lord Yin, we are waiting for good news here." ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded, and walked towards the gate of the palace with the subordinate officials of Kaifeng Mansion.
The forbidden soldiers made way for Zhao Guangyi and the others to enter, and then immediately blocked the gap.
Zhao Guangyi walked to the gate of the palace and saw several eunuchs looking outside nervously.
A eunuch asked, "Lord Fu Yin, how is the situation outside?" ”
Zhao Guangyi said: "It was some scholars who brought the people to petition, wanting the official family to deal with Wang Jixun as soon as possible. ”
"Then please hurry up and enter the palace, the official family is waiting for news from outside."
So several eunuchs took Zhao Guangyi and soon came to Wende Palace, and Zhao Kuangyin was discussing things with Zhao Pu, Xue Juzheng and others.
Zhao Guangyi said after seeing the salute: "Brother, there are many scholars and people gathered outside the palace, if it is not handled properly, it will cause a big mess." ”
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Pu: "Zeping, do you have any good solutions?" ”
Zhao Pu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Official, if you want to calm down this matter, you must make a certain gesture as soon as possible. For example, let the Criminal Department and Yushitai hear the case immediately, and let the scholars and the people send representatives to hear the trial and deal with Wang Jixun as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and thought about it, his eyebrows were twisted.
The ministers didn't speak, quietly waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to make a decision.
After a while, Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Guangyi, do you have any proposals?" ”
Zhao Guangyi felt a little difficult in his heart, if he proposed to kill Wang Jixun, his brother would definitely not be happy. If Wang Jixun is not killed, the scholars and people outside will definitely continue to make trouble. The Great Song Dynasty had only been established for a few years, and there were strong enemies all around. If the people's hearts are unstable, it is definitely not a good thing. That's going to be hard!
In fact, Zhao Guangyi agrees with Zhao Pu's method, and this matter must be explained to the people. But the imperial brother didn't want to kill Wang Jixun at all, it's not easy to do!
Zhao Guangyi saw that everyone was staring at him, so he had no choice but to speak: "Brother Huang, brother of the ministers believes that the laws of the Great Song Dynasty must be maintained. Wang Jixun's crime is extremely heinous, and he must be punished. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be unstable! ”
