Mao Yilu's face was full of anxiety, and said: "Father-in-law, the matter is urgent, I am afraid that Jinyiwei will not come to the scene in person, and the situation will be difficult to calm down. ”

Liu Dexi said lightly: "Since there are local powers interfering in this case and inciting confrontation, why don't Zhongcheng transfer the people in the Yamen of the Department to quell it?" ”

"The person who transferred the Command Division?" Mao Yilu was taken aback and sobbed, "This...... Is this sending troops? "You must know that the local students and scholars gathered to disturb and obstruct the government's law enforcement, at best, it is a mass incident, and it is an internal contradiction, but if the army is mobilized, it will be an escalation of this incident to a major incident, it is not a small matter, and it is not a good thing for the people of the herdsman and the government of the other party, he Mao Yilu has never thought of it like this.

"With the will of God here, and with Father-in-law Wei as your backing, what are you afraid of? Just let it go. Liu Dexi shouted at the top of his voice, "But if there are those who do not comply, they will be arrested on the spot; If you resist, you will be killed. Liu De was furious, he still didn't believe that the local forces could compete with the imperial army, and that only scholars and students could ignore the laws of the imperial court.

Mao Yilu saw that Liu Dexi was furious, turned his heart sideways, and said: "According to what my father-in-law said, the next official will go to the command department yamen to transfer troops." With that, he hurried away with a group of people.

After he went, Qi Liao said on the side: "Father-in-law, will it be too much to transfer the people who command the division and yamen, I'm afraid the matter will be very troublesome." ”

Liu Dexi laughed and said, "Qi Yanshi, why are you confused." Didn't we come to Jiangnan this time to arrest those Donglin remnants and vent our anger for Grandpa Wei? If you don't make a big deal out of it and don't do it all, how can these Donglin party members and leaders jump out? This is the idea you gave our family at the beginning, why did the matter come to an end, and the courage became smaller? ”

Qi Liao was silent for a while, leaned over and said, "What my father-in-law said is that Qi Liao is stupid. ”

Liu Dexi smiled and said, "Let's just sit and watch the excitement, and when those Donglin leaders can't sit still, it's the moment we make a move." ”

Qi Liao said with a smile: "Father-in-law Gao Zhi, Qi Liao is deeply admired!" ”

……

South of Suzhou, Heshan Academy.

The prefect Kou Shen originally came to seal down the academy with hundreds of soaps, but unexpectedly, after the students of these academies learned of their intentions, they actually gathered a crowd to make trouble and obstruct the government's law enforcement, and a little skirmish broke out between the two sides just now. Now, they are surrounded by a steady stream of students, and they can't get out.

On the street outside the academy, there was a lot of noise and noise.

Kou Shen pointed at the academy students who surrounded them and shouted, "Chen Zilong and Yang Tingshu, you are really bold enough to incite the students to besiege the people of the official mansion, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will be held accountable in the future?" I advise you to wait or disperse quickly, so that I may not care about it anymore, if you insist on going your own way, it will definitely not end well. ”

This official dispatch was originally in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and he didn't need to explain anything to these students, but now he proposed that as long as these students were willing to disperse, they would not be held responsible, which was actually very good for the students.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zilong was not moved, but took a step forward, leaned over at Kou Shen, and said: "Kou Fuzun, I am late but I have a question, is the seizure of Heshan Academy today the emperor's intention, or Wei Zhongxian's meaning?" ”

What Kou Shen hated the most was the pedantry of these scholars, who meant it mattered, at this moment, Chen Zilong was still holding on to these trivial things, so he said: "The holy decree is carried out, and the government implements it, of course, this is the meaning of long live today." ”

"I don't think so!" Chen Zilong sneered and said, "Although Banzai is negligent in literature and Taoism, he is definitely not a mediocre monarch. It is necessary to know that the writer is the way of the sage, long live how can there be a move to abolish the text and seal the court? As I expected, this move was definitely done by the illiterate and vulgar Wei Zhongxian, who was clearly an edict and a bully to the king, poisoning the world and harming the common people......"

Kou Shen sighed in his heart and said, "Chen Zilong, you don't want to put nonsense and insult the court." This house is young and ignorant of you, and does not care about you. Hurry up and disperse these people, otherwise the consequences caused by this are not something that you, Su Song, can bear? Even though the situation was like this, he still tried hard to persuade Chen Zilong to take the people away.

Chen Zilong did not listen to the dissuasion, and took a step forward again and said: "Don't say more about Kou Fuzun, this is Wei Gelding's pretentiousness, and it must not be the true intention of today's saints." If Kou Fuzun insists on sealing the academy, then please step on the body of the late sheng, who is willing to be the first in the world today, even if he dies, he must expose the ugly face of Wei Biao who insulted the sages and harmed Zhongliang! Later, he was even more indignant and bold.

Yang Tingshu beside him echoed: "Yes, even if I die today, I must let the people in the world see Wei Zhongxian's true face clearly, and never let his conspiracy succeed!" ”

At their instigation, all the students were boiling, shouting and shouting, and even shouting for the officials to get out of here, or they would rush up and beat them all to pieces.

Kou Shen looked at this situation, Mo said that it was the seizure of the academy, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to withdraw safely, so he couldn't help but bow his head and ask a soap officer beside him, "How is Lord Wang?" ”

"The errand brought by Lord Wang was blocked on Shiquan Street by the people of the Jinling Society, and he couldn't get over at all." The soap officer said nervously.

"What?" Kou Shen was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that things would develop to this point.

……

On the street in front of Daoqian, which is far away from Shuyuan Lane, two groups of people are facing each other awe-inspiringly, and they will not give in to each other.

According to the inspector, Wang Qitai was angry, he strode forward, and pointed at Zhong Yansong, the young master of the Jinling Society opposite, and said: "Bold Zhong Yansong, you dare to lead the crowd to obstruct the yamen's errand, you are all impatient, believe it or not, I arrested you all and put you in prison?" "This time, the seizure of Donglin Academy, according to the prior deployment, according to the judge's yamen as the follow-up support force of the prefect's yamen, was originally to forcibly intervene when the government encountered difficulties.

He heard that Kou Shen's law enforcement was blocked, and he originally planned to go to support, but unexpectedly, according to the officials of the Judge's Yamen, he was intercepted by Zhong Yansong and others from the Jinling Society on this front street, which made him very angry in his heart. He didn't have a good temper like Kou Shen, and if Zhong Yansong still refused to get out of the way, he was determined to solve it by force.

Zhong Yansong laughed and said, "Why should Lord Zhentai be too anxious, don't you just want to go to the Heshan Academy in front?" I advise you not to go, Master Kou Shenkou may have been beaten by those students and fled at this moment, and if you go, I'm afraid it won't make much difference. ”

Wang Qitai almost exploded his chest when he heard this, he was the envoy of a province, and he brought the capable soap in the yamen, although the Jinling Society was powerful, but after all, it was also a local force, and now he dared to stop in front of them to play tricks, which made him feel unbearable, and shouted angrily: "Zhong Yansong, do you know what you are doing?" You Jinling will actually fight against the Yamen of the Imperial Palace, against the government and the imperial court, I don't think you want to gain a foothold in Jiangnan? ”

Zhong Yansong didn't seem to be intimidated by his words at all, he smiled, and said, "Our people from the Jinling Society are doing business and discussing transactions on this front street, could it be that they have also violated the royal law and offended you, Lord Wang?" If that's the case, please point it out, and we'll make amends to you. ”

Wang Qitai sneered and said, "This official doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you people!" With a wave of his hand, he said, "Dispel them all for me, but anyone who resists will be arrested on the spot." "According to the soap subordinates of the judge's yamen, they are not as good as the soap subordinates of the prefect's yamen, these are all officials who are in charge of one party's prison and ensure the safety of one party, all of them are like wolves and tigers, and now under Wang Qitai's order, they have picked up the water and fire sticks in their hands, and hit the Jinling Hui gang people who stopped in front.

Seeing that the dozen or so soap officers who rushed to the front were already less than a zhang away from Zhong Yansong, and the water and fire sticks in their hands had been raised high, if Zhong Yansong still didn't dodge, he would have to be injured on the spot.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind Zhong Yansong, and two figures jumped out like ghosts, and instantly inserted into the dozen or so soap officers who rushed in front.

"Bang bang bang", the sound of energetic blows sounded in a series, and in less than half an hour, these more than a dozen soap subordinates were beaten backwards, and many people were injured, and the water and fire sticks in their hands were broken into two.

Seeing this, many soaps couldn't help but slow down their momentum, and their expressions became more solemn and nervous.

Wang Qitai took a look and saw two men standing in front of Zhong Yansong, one on the left and one on the right, with an awe-inspiring expression, and it seemed that they were good players in the Jinling Society.

"Who are these two?" He couldn't help but ask about the punishment beside him.

The servant replied: "One of the two of them is named Du Ying, and the other is called Ma Jie, they are Zhong Yansong's personal guards, and they have excellent martial arts and are very strong in the Jinling Society. ”

Wang Qitai said in a low voice: "Are you sure that you can defeat the two of them?" ”

He said: "Although Du Ying and Ma Jie are powerful, after all, we are outnumbered, even if their martial arts are strong, how long can they last?" I believe that as long as everyone rushes up, they will inevitably be caught. ”

"Okay, they'll be handed over to you, be sure to capture these two and Zhong Yansong alive." After Wang Qitai gave the order, his face became stern, Jinling would obviously come prepared this time, otherwise he would not have sent Du Ying and Ma Jie, two masters. This confrontation between the eunuch party and the Donglin party has finally lit the fuse, and I am afraid that the struggle will become more and more fierce in the future, but it is a pity that he Wang Qitai is involuntarily himself, and he has already fallen into it, and it is completely impossible to get out of it, so he can only choose to fall to one side and persist -- he naturally chooses the eunuch party that leans towards the government and the opposition, not the Donglin party that has lost its position and fallen into difficulty.

"Come with me, everyone!" The servant shouted and took the lead in rushing towards Du Ying and Ma Jie.

Since the people of the Jinling Society did not use weapons, it was difficult for the people of the Yamen to draw their waist knives, but they only attacked them with the water and fire sticks in their hands, trying to disperse these people who gathered to make trouble.

Although there are not as many people in the Jinling Association as the Yamen, but all of them are extraordinary, obviously Zhong Yansong brought all the good players in the meeting this time, and he was able to resist the attack of the soap subordinates with his bare hands, and the two sides fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

Wang Qitai was worried, the longer they were delayed here, the greater the pressure on Kou Shen's side, maybe those students and gentlemen would make a fuss, and the people from the prefect's yamen might not be able to resist it.

"These abominable people!" Wang Qitai scolded angrily in his heart, but there was no way to do it.

It's not that the imperial court is incompetent, but that the Donglin Party is too rampant -- as early as the 29th year of Wanli, Sun Long, a tax eunuch sent to Suzhou by the emperor, provoked a popular rebellion because of the tyranny and extortion of merchants, and those traders who were forced to close their doors because they were overwhelmed by heavy taxes and the machine owners who could not survive because of unemployment joined forces to launch a riot under the leadership of the mechanic Ge Xian, more than 2,000 weavers and dyers surrounded the tax office, killed Huang Yanjie, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, with stones, and burned the houses of wealthy merchants who colluded with the eunuchs, so that Sun Long fled to Hangzhou overnight. More than a dozen towns around Suzhou also broke out one after another in the struggle against tax supervisors and mine supervisors, and the Wanli Emperor had no choice but to withdraw all tax supervisors and mine supervisors, and the people of Suzhou also retained the fine tradition of "struggle".

If the Donglin Party falls, these behind-the-scenes businessmen and magnates will naturally be implicated, so they do not hesitate to instigate popular uprisings and riots against the imperial court to protect their vested interests.

The Jinling Society, which gathered people to make trouble in front of them, was the largest backstage of the Donglin Party in Jiangnan, and it must be that the high-level leaders of Donglin could not accept the eunuch party's move to seal down the academy, so they instigated the Jinling Society to make trouble in an attempt to stop what the government was doing.

The more Wang Qitai thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was about to order all the soap subordinates not to have any scruples and disperse all the troublemakers in front of him, he heard shouts from behind, his footsteps were mixed, and when he looked up, he saw countless students and scholars rushing in, completely blocking their retreat.

"The eunuch party is perverse, and heaven and man are angry; Wang Qitai aided the abuse, bringing disaster to the country and the people! I don't know who took the lead in shouting this voice, and the crowd of students behind him immediately erupted in a shocking scolding.

Wang Qitai became more and more annoyed, pointed at a scholar who rushed to the front and shouted: "Zhang Pu, you gathered a crowd to make trouble and obstruct law enforcement, do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?" ”

Zhang Pu was unmoved, and said coldly: "The eunuch party scourges the loyal and good, and defiles the sages, today, we and the eleventh son of the Ying Society are determined to come forward and admonish each other with death, and I hope that Lord Wang will look at this turbulent public opinion, give up this action, and tell the court the heart of our Jiangnan Shizi, otherwise, we will never back down half a step until the court issues an order to withdraw the academy." ”
