Halfway through the night, the noise gradually subsided, and the capital fell silent again. [No pop-up novel network]

Originally, the people didn't know what was going on, because this night was destined to be noisy, and tonight was the emperor's wedding. The inner city was just that, but the outer city was full of fireworks, and people were happily crowded into the streets and alleys, so when the battle finally began, not many people noticed the anomaly.

But as the battle of the Ordnance Division began, the rumbling cannons overpowered the noise of the people, and everyone realized what was happening.

Since Xie Hong entered Beijing, the situation in the capital has not been very stable, and the first few days were even more tense, but everyone didn't expect that this time the two sides would really fight, and they actually chose to do it in such a day, which is really speechless.

Those who are away immediately go home; The people who were originally at home turned off the lights and closed the door. The victory or loss of this contest has nothing to do with the people, but once the situation is out of control, the ensuing turmoil is the most fatal, and protecting their own safety is the most important thing for the people at this time.

So, by the time the battle was over, it was already quiet inside and outside the capital, and all that echoed through the streets was the sound of passwords and groans, as well as the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Except for the people at the east gate of the Ordnance Division, the casualties in the Beijing camp were not large, it was just an internal dispute. Xie Hong didn't have the intention of killing everything, and Jingying also didn't have the will to fight to the death, and he was paid as a soldier on the left and right, regardless of whether he was the emperor's courtier or a scholar, wouldn't it be the same to listen to anyone's orders?

Therefore, although the Praetorian Guards finally made a great noise when they divided into joint attacks, they did not cause much confusion, and after hearing the news of disarming and not killing, the soldiers of the Beijing camp did not even have the will to flee for their lives, except for a few people, most of them surrendered on the spot.

Then, Xie Hong's order to close the city and curfew was quickly implemented, and under the guidance of the forbidden army, the various departments of the Beijing camp quickly gathered the defeated troops and joined the ranks of maintaining order.

Although the turmoil subsided, most people in the capital still couldn't sleep peacefully, and ordinary people were worried that things would happen again. But the big guys have some other troubles, not to mention sleeping, even sitting is a little difficult.

At this time, there was such a group of people gathered in the Xie Mansion, and the original scene of boiling and rebellious was gone, replaced by pale faces and heavy breathing, everyone didn't know what to say, and they didn't know what to do, and things were too unexpected for them.

"Liu Shoufu, the matter has come to this, I respect you here, please give me an idea." Breaking the silence was Min Gyu, the secretary of the criminal department, who had a hoarse voice, completely missing the initial impassionedness.

"Yes, Liu Shoufu, at this time of life and death, I still have to rely on you to support Sheji." Someone opened their mouths, and others naturally followed the trend, and everyone's eyes were burning, and they all looked at Liu Jianjian.

"The old man is not easy to be arbitrary in this matter, let's discuss it with everyone......" Liu Jian scolded in his heart, when Wang Yue reported the news, he set up the main task to mobilize troops to rescue, but as a result, this group of people, especially the group of Jiangnan people led by Xie Qian and Min Gui, all of them were screaming loudly, but they refused to comply, but now they are defeated, but they let themselves take the idea.

What are these guys' ideas, don't you know when the old man does? Don't you want the old man to take responsibility so that they can get out? Phew, what a beautiful thought, that annihilator even played the banner of revenge for Emperor Xiaozong, and anyone else thinks this thing will be good? The other party sharpens his knife, how can the goal just be to bring down a scholar? Are you kidding!

In order to spread panic, Xie Hong did not restrict the rout from fleeing, most of the rout soldiers fled back to the Imperial Horse Prison, and then were retracted, but there were also some people like Geng Zhong who ran out of the imperial city and went everywhere to report the news. Therefore, the courtiers gathered here also had an accurate understanding of the battle of the Forbidden City.

"Then let's talk about it, adults?" Min Gyu had no choice but to turn his head, but although there were many people present, no one was willing to meet his gaze.

Min Gui's mouth was bitter, and he missed Liu Daxia who was missing. He knew very well that it was unrealistic to expect an old fox like Liu Jian to bravely take on such a big responsibility because of his words, and he might not be able to bear it.

The scholar is extremely sacred in the eyes of the people of the world, but in the eyes of the emperor and that Xie Hong, it is the same thing, otherwise how could that little black house incident happen?

Now it seems that it is a complete defeat and a dead end, in fact, everyone still has a lot of choices, but these proposals are not suitable for direct expression.

The simplest and most realistic way is to compromise, that is, to surrender and admit defeat, and bow down if you lose, this is what a good man does, and the bureaucrats of all dynasties are very proficient in this, and some of the old fritters who have experienced any number of dynasties are still talked about.

The warrior changed to his master, which is called no integrity, and can be crowned with titles such as three surnames and domestic slaves.

But if the literati did this, it could be called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light; If there is a repetition in the future, it is called forbearance and humiliation; It is that there have been many dynasties, which can also be interpreted as having the world in mind and not thinking about the gains and losses of one family and one surname. In short, they are all high-spirited moves.

However, this kind of thing can not be said, if anyone dares to bring it up in public, they will definitely be attacked on the spot into a sieve, unless the identity of the person who proposes it is high enough, everyone will say: Since you said so, my lord, then we will bear with it.

And no matter how high the status of the person who proposed this proposal, he will still be scolded as a pig's head afterwards, and there is nothing wrong with surrendering, but if you say it, you will be caught. Therefore, Liu Jiancai was busy letting everyone discuss, and refused to make a decision alone, and Min Gui did not dare to take the initiative to speak out, so as not to become the first wronged leader in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is another reason why the strategy of enduring humiliation is difficult to implement, that is, Min Gyu is not sure whether his people have the opportunity to endure humiliation.

Zhengde is not Cao Mengde, Xie Hong is not Guo Fengxiao, these two people don't seem to raise their hands to burn letters, and smile at the temperament of enmity and hatred, but it is more appropriate to describe these two people with a smile of revenge, especially the latter, in addition to having no bearing, but also ruthless.

When Sun Song just blocked the road once, he was beaten half to death, this time everyone almost killed him, after this person controlled the situation in Beijing, will the matter be lightly revealed? Min Gyu was the first to disbelieve it.

Now that the outside has quieted down, the situation has obviously been controlled, if Xie Hong really has that thought, he should come to the door now. Of course, when he came, no one would give him a good look, but no one would speak ill of him as before, and it was unknown what was behind it.

As long as he shows his sincerity, everyone will not have to look for unhappiness, he just won one game, or when everyone is too hasty and ill-planned. As long as we get through the difficulties of today, everyone will be able to get back to the field in the future.

There is a saying since ancient times: evil cannot defeat good, as long as he continues to wander in the court, with the experience and ability of the scholars and doctors, one day he will find his flaws.

Since Xie Hong didn't come, his mind was clear, obviously he was unwilling to stop there, and the reckoning had become inevitable, so he couldn't allow everyone to sit calmly.

There are many ways, among which the most difficult, risk and benefit method is also the greatest, is to leave Beijing immediately, and then call on people with lofty ideals in the world to clear the monarch's side together, and even overthrow the faint monarch.

This road is very tortuous, but the prospect is very attractive, but it is also very difficult, just like when Liu Daxia first proposed to use force in the capital, what was to be worried about at that time is still to be worried about now, in addition, the risk is also greater.

Supporting the vassal king and besieging the capital with a locality, obviously, this is the same way as the rebellion of the eight kings who destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, the scholars and doctors are not a whole, once the war starts, it is difficult to say how many forces will appear, and the prospect is very bad.

It is precisely because the scholars and doctors are not a whole, even if Liu Jian stepped forward and called on the ministers to go out of Beijing, I am afraid that it will not be so effective. Although Xie Hong didn't come to pay his respects, he didn't send troops to arrest people, who knows if he didn't understand the rules and planned to compromise and have no way?

If Scholar Liu really leaves, I'm afraid it will only make Scholar Li laugh, but Scholar Li is shrewd, so he closed the door early, and just sent a disciple to the palace to guard. In this way, if the scholars lose him, he will certainly lose power, and if the scholars win, he may not be able to gain benefits.

I really want to propose the ministers to go out of Beijing, but I am afraid that everyone is willing to say that it is good, and when it comes to actual action, they are all wait-and-see, the more people who go out, the better, and those who go are weak-hearted, whoever goes first is the most stupid, and the person who proposes must be one of words and deeds and set an example, therefore, the person who proposes is the most stupid.

If Liu Daxia was here, he wouldn't be worried that no one would mention this proposal, but now, Min Gui was not so impulsive.

"According to the official's opinion, it is better to wait and see how the annihilator moves. If he acts perversely and coerces the scholars, then our courtiers will not be able to give up with him; But if he has the heart to repent, or even wake up, then it is not too late to slowly educate him in the way of a saint......"

Min Gyu's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he said something that he didn't believe in himself, and suddenly woke up? If you want to wake up, you will wake up a long time ago, will you wake up when you are in power? As for the perverse behavior or something, he had already gone against the grain, and he didn't see what everyone did to him, so Min Gyu knew that he was talking nonsense.

"Min Shangshu's words are very good, every move of our scholars is related to the safety of the world, we can't move lightly, the combination of movement and static, and the internal and external correspondence is the right way......" Although it is nonsense, everyone here is an old bureaucrat, but they all heard the meaning of his words, and Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately echoed his words.

Scholars and doctors are all civilized people, and they are not good at this kind of fighting, killing and killing, so it doesn't matter if they win this time, they just need to find it back slowly.

The way of the saint is naturally the way of hoeing and destroying goodness. If you didn't clean him up when you used force, can you change it to a soft knife, don't talk about him Xie Hong, even if Emperor Taizu is such a wise and martial person, isn't it properly cleaned up by the sages? In addition to the torture of corruption, weren't all the other founding policies beneficial to the scholars?

Of course, you can't simply expect the enemy to be soft, everyone has to have a way to deal with it, that is, the internal and external correspondence that Zhang Shangshu said.

"That's it, everyone go back to the provinces, what is going on, we will see it tomorrow."

Liu Jian nodded, looked around slightly, but didn't find anyone from the military department, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: Shangshu is a cannon battle, but the two squires are more cunning than the other, Yan Zhongyu simply didn't appear, and Xu Jin disappeared halfway. Fortunately, the old man had made arrangements in advance, otherwise he would really have to let that annihilator do nothing!
