Chapter 122: The will of the people is the will of heaven
The crowd was raging, although Zhang Zongbing's personal soldiers were fierce, they didn't dare to move, they all turned their heads to look at the leader Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang looked up at Zhang Zongbing, waiting for orders.
Mr. Zhang's scalp was numb, he didn't dare to mess around, once he made a move, there were so many people here, and it was a big mess when he saw it, and he would never dare to bear this responsibility.
Looking at Xie Hong with a faint smile on his face in the crowd, he was even more scared, this person was unscrupulous, knowing that this might cause civil unrest, he actually dared to incite it, even if he had nothing to do now, he would be held accountable in the future.
Such a big thing, Xie Hong acted as if nothing happened, looking fearless, thinking of the various relationships that had appeared in Xie Hong and had not yet been discovered, Zhang Zongbing's heart began to retreat.
"Lord Governor, this Xie Hong set off fireworks indiscriminately, causing the palace to fire, committing the crime of great disrespect first, and inciting the people to plot wrongdoes, please give an order to take him down to set an example."
Shen Xunji knew that he was afraid when he saw Zhang Zongbing's face, but the old man himself was happy. It was a bit far-fetched to say that Xie Hong caused the fire in the palace, but now he is inciting the people to fight against the government, this is a sure crime of rebellion, haha, now he is dead.
As long as the governor gives the order, the people are not afraid of the sergeant, but they are afraid of the servants, this is called one thing to one thing, Shen Xun smiled very proudly, the boy surnamed Xie, you are not self-defeating this time?
Governor Zhang was really angry, he got up suddenly, walked to the edge of the platform in a few steps, and the hands holding the railing were obviously trembling, well, not only the hands, but the whole body was trembling, and the gray beard was shaking.
Shen Xun was overjoyed, Zhang Nai was angry, but Lord Zhang, you have to hold on, don't just fall down, at least take down the kid surnamed Xie first.
After gasping for a while, Zhang Nai spoke in a trembling voice, "Chief Zhang Bing, you quickly restrain your subordinates, don't disturb the people, Chief Zhao, you go to pass the order, teach the officials to maintain order, and you must not cause chaos, the people's hearts are like iron, and you must not disobey the will of the people." ”
What the! Shen Xun almost fell from the city tower, he never expected that Governor Zhang would say such a thing. They all read the books of the sages, who still doesn't know what's going on with the people's hearts? Hang on the lips, that's to have a good reputation, but when you really do things, who will pay attention to that.
The people's hearts are like iron, I don't know if the next sentence is like an official law! It's just a bunch of overly excited pariahs, as long as the officials take out the iron ruler chains, they will naturally disperse, and there are really people who dare to resist the king's law? But what did Zhang Nai'er say, he must not go against public opinion...... Why don't you say that at the time of the autumn harvest? It's as if you're not the one who wants to scrape off a layer of ground in order to collect money and food. It doesn't matter if this old man is stupid, he can't spoil Lao Tzu's big thing.
He hurriedly said to Zhang Nai: "Lord Governor, it's just a group of untouchables, as long as the officials disperse, why bother with what they are arguing about?" Even if you don't talk about Xie Hong's great crime, then Hou Defang is also a filthy place that sweeps Sven to the ground, my lord, if you don't take this opportunity to sweep them away, how long will you wait? ”
Zhang Nai ignored him, just stared downstairs, as if there were ten thousand taels of gold there.
Shen Xun was angry in his heart, he was a dignified patrol, although his official position was far less prominent than that of the governor, and his rank was low, but his duty was to supervise local officials, and impeachment could go straight to the Son of Heaven! Usually, Zhang Nai dared to snub him, the two were on an equal footing.
Today he was polite to Governor Zhang, that was because he asked Governor Zhang in order to deal with Xie Hong, but he didn't expect the other party to dare to despise him so much, Shen Xun rushed into anger and shouted:
"Lord Zhang, you don't fool people with public opinion, since you insist on going your own way and shielding criminals, don't think that this official will just forget it. Today, the official will play the Son of Heaven, and you will wait for the impeachment of the official. ”
This threat is not small, Shen Xunji feels that Zhang Nai will not dare to ignore it anyway, even if he has a background, but he has been impeached by Xunjian repeatedly, and the palace has been burned, and it will be troubled in the court, Governor Zhang will definitely suffer a big loss.
Zhang Nai was really excited, turned around and roared angrily: "What is going on in the palace still needs to be carefully investigated, maybe the will of heaven is so." Nowadays, public opinion is turbulent, and Zhang is ordered by the Son of Heaven to be a herdsman, and he should take public opinion first. Lord Shen, since you insist on doing so, the official will also talk to you more, you go to the table, and the official has his own sense of proportion in this matter. ”
Zhang Nai's crazy? Shen Xun pressed only one thought in his heart, and it was public opinion, this old man was stunned for a night, and then as soon as he opened his mouth, he kept saying that it was public opinion, and his voice was so loud, what was it if he wasn't crazy, but why was he crazy?
Of course, Zhang Nai wasn't crazy, but he felt like he was going crazy.
He had been thinking about how to find the emperor all night, but when the emperor appeared in front of him, he was not happy at all, but wanted to jump off the Qingyuan Tower.
After Xie Hong stirred up the people, Zhang Nai jumped up, not because of anger, but because he saw the person he had been thinking about, and this person also appeared in front of him in the strangest way, how could he not tremble?
Shen Xun has been clamoring endlessly, and Zhang Nai has an impulse to pull this idiot over and let him recognize people. Public opinion, doesn't Lao Tzu know that public opinion is a scum? I want you to talk about it!
But the problem now is that the boy below who shouts the loudest, jumps the most happily, and best represents the will of the people...... Zhang Nai secretly spat blood, that person is the emperor!
What is the fire in the palace, the downstairs doesn't care, why is the old man in a hurry?
It is a big crime to incite the people, and at the same time inciting the people, Huang Yanjing was instigated, how can this be said?
Insulting Sven is even more trivial, the Son of Heaven is mixed in a group of ordinary people shouting, and he doesn't even care about the system of the Heavenly Family, Sven or something, just let him die.
What to do, what can I do now? After thinking about it, Zhang Nai realized that he could only find a way to appease the people. If you let the officials do it, it is possible to disperse other uninformed people, but how will this emperor deal with it? Let the officials arrest him?
Let's not talk about other consequences, the circle of big men around the emperor is obviously Jinyiwei, let the officials and border troops besiege Jinyiwei...... Zhang Nai just thought about it for a while, and he was scared into a cold sweat, isn't that a rebellion? Even if he uses this method to send the emperor back to the capital, I'm afraid that his head will have to be placed in a different place.
Let's appease the people, Zhang Nai is very familiar with current affairs, and he decided to ...... to the people No, it's providence bowing its head.
"Fathers, please don't get excited, please rest assured, your request, this official will definitely agree......"
Hearing this, Xie Hong was surprised, this Master Zhang shouldn't be stupid in reading, right? In the face of such a situation, how can any official promise to agree? Even in the case of various media supervision in later generations, they will only say that they should consider it carefully. Could it be that this method of delaying time has worked wonders? But this effect is too exaggerated.
He also knew that inciting the people would not solve the problem, but Xie Hong's idea was to delay it for a while, anyway, Zeng Jian should not be able to deceive people, Zhengde must be moved and planned to come to Xuanfu.
Even if he doesn't come, as long as he gets through the current difficulties, he will go directly to the capital and offer the piano through his great-uncle, Xie Hong doesn't think he will fall here.
It's just that the current situation makes him a little confused, could it be that he misunderstood Governor Zhang before? In fact, this adult is just a little pedantic, but he is actually a good official who loves the people like a son? Okay, brother, let's test it. Xie Hong poked Ma Ang and muttered a few words in his ear.
"Will this work?" Ma Ang was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Xie Hong hesitantly.
Xie Hong smiled.
Seeing this, Ma Ang turned his heart sideways, and shouted loudly: "The collusion between officials and businessmen hurts the heavens and harms reason, the officials protect each other, frame the loyalty, return me to the Lang Lang Qiankun, and return me to the way of the world." ”
Originally, everyone was shouting and shouting, venting all kinds of dissatisfaction indiscriminately, and there was no appeal for the overall surname, but Ma Ang suddenly shouted such a slogan, which was very catchy and resonated with everyone. So, at first, Maang was alone, and soon, more and more people joined in, and finally thousands of people shouted together.
Zhang Nai wanted to cry without tears, not for this messy slogan, but because the one downstairs actually shouted along, and shouted loudly. Is...... Governor Zhang was speechless.
Stumped this person who has no enlightenment of the Son of Heaven? The biggest official in the world is whether you are good or not, what kind of officials and officials are protecting each other, Lang Lang Qiankun, God, is the Ming Dynasty going to end, otherwise how could there be such an emperor.
“…… The official agreed, and Shen Xun secretly colluded with Zhang Zongbing, and the official said that he would investigate it thoroughly. It's easy to shout a little quieter, Zhang Nai hurriedly promised.
Ma Ang was taken aback, and looked back at Xie Hong, but saw that Xie Hong was still calm and light-hearted, and he was greatly admired: Who dares to say such things nonsense, and if he says it, he will not be arrested by the government and cleaned up? As a result, Brother Xie asked us to shout like this, and the dark-faced Governor Zhang actually agreed, well, he was very happy to agree.
Seeing Xie Hong nodding again, Ma Ang knew in his heart, okay, let's continue.
"The government bullied men and women and forcibly occupied Miss Yang's deed, it was unkind and unjust, please return Miss Yang's freedom, long live freedom." It was Ma Ang who took the lead, and it was Zhengde who shouted the loudest, this slogan was too much to his liking, Zhengde waved his fist, a handsome face looked very hideous, and roared loudly: "Long live freedom!" ”
He worked so hard, Xie Hong saw it from afar, and he was very moved, whose child is this? It's really a good boy, and he has a fight with the most fanatical fans in later generations, and my brother actually has fans so quickly, well, it's still from other places.
Zhang Nai's old tears are rampant, obviously Yang Rebel is from Lefang, right? And after being a criminal official, what does it have to do with the government's bullying of men and women? Besides, even if it has a relationship, it was decided by Emperor Xiaozong, that is, your father, what are you angry about here, Your Majesty.
“…… The official also agreed to this, and Miss Yang's identity deed was immediately destroyed, and she was returned to her free body. Zhang Nai's teeth were pinched and said.
"As an official of the imperial court, Shen Xun didn't want to repay the service, but he made people burn the palace and tried to blame him, and the king's law did not tolerate it." Ma Ang is also energetic, I haven't been so happy for many years, but what we are shouting now is Lord Governor, of course, this is under the guidance of Brother Xie. And so, the shouting continued...... Zhengde didn't rush to shout this time, but searched left and right, according to Xie Hong's guess, he should be looking for bricks and tiles and other things, this is to throw things upstairs. Xie Hong was amazed, this kid is very qualified to be an angry youth, and he is really promising.
"This official ......" This is still the end, Zhang Nai almost didn't come up in one breath, it is difficult to agree this time, and he has no right to judge the patrol press at all, he turned his head to look at Shen Xun, he was very embarrassed.
Shen Xun was still there at this time, he threatened Zhang Nai, he didn't succeed, and he wanted to find some more countermeasures, but he was completely stunned by the messy scene behind.
What is it and what is it? Zhang Nai, this old man is not crazy, he has been ghosted at all. Do you still want the dignity of the court, the majesty of the government, and the face of the governor...... Ahem, then don't mention it.
He was indignant, and suddenly heard a new slogan actually pointed at him, it didn't matter if he just shouted it, the key was that Zhang Nai actually turned his head to look at it, and the look in his eyes was obviously ill-intentioned.
No way? Shen Xun pressed hairy, okay, this slogan is also true, but you have no right to judge the patrol press as a governor.
"Zhang Nai, what are you going to do?" Shen Xun didn't even call the honorific title anymore, and his voice was trembling, "This official warns you, don't mess around, this official is a dignified patrol, and he can play the ...... of the Son of Heaven."
"Left and right, take Shen Fei down to the official, for the sake of Xie Limin."
He didn't mention the Son of Heaven, but when he mentioned the Son of Heaven, Governor Zhang also reacted, playing the Son of Heaven? You better play it down, the old man took you down today, and it can be regarded as an order. You must know that even if the emperor issued an edict in the Jinluan Palace, he would not shout so loudly now.
"Zhang Nai, old horseman, you dare to ......" Shen Xun was completely panicked.
"Give the official his mouth." Zhang Nai snorted coldly, "This official is serving the orders of the Son of Heaven, and what he obeys is the will of the people, why don't you dare?" ”
was dizzy from being slapped a few times, but Shen Xun didn't feel much pain on his face, because his heart hurt even more.
Public opinion again? After being an official for so many years, it was the first time he knew that public opinion was so important.
When Ma Ang shouted the first slogan, Xie Hong still paid attention to a few officials upstairs, and soon he found that Zhang Nai was indeed a little wrong, and then he paid more attention to his fan.
After Zhang Nai spoke, his voice was very loud, and of course he could hear it clearly with Xie Hong's ear power. He didn't know if Zhang Nai was a good official who loved the people like a son, but it was obviously not for that reason that he agreed to these requests, so what was the reason?
Will? A thought flashed through Xie Hong's mind, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy still has someone around him to protect him, and his surname is also a little ...... Unrestrained, he seems to know himself and Houdefang very well, and his impression is also very good, is it difficult to ...... Xie Hong was very excited and looking forward to it, if Uncle Zeng's summons was indeed correct, then it was not impossible to secretly come to Xuanfu with the surname Zhengde, could it be him?
Xie Hong wanted to go over and confirm, but at this moment, he saw someone come to the young man who seemed to be righteous and said something, and then the young man seemed to be a little angry and a little excited, and then ......, "Look, the fire is out, the fire in the palace is out." Someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Xie Hong turned his head to look, and sure enough, the fire that was still burning just now was unconsciously extinguished.
Could it be that Jiang Bin finally made a move? But this guy is too ineffective, and he actually let the fire burn before extinguishing it, which almost put my brother in big trouble, but it's okay, if there is no such thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to find Zhengde.
When the fire was extinguished, Xie Hong felt more at ease, and when he turned back to look again, he found that the young man had suddenly disappeared. He was shocked, and when he looked around again, he saw a surge of people, but where did he go to find it again?
Where did this man go? Did you miss it again...... Xie Hong was at a loss.
ps. Although the results are average, there is nothing to be happy about, but there are many friends who really support Xiaoyu, so we are still very moved, and Xiaoyu will also break out tomorrow, predict in advance.
