Chapter 237: Student Turmoil
No one likes to carry a black pot, and Xiao Fan certainly doesn't like it either.
But there are some black cauldrons in this world that have to be carried, and there are some things that cannot be denied, and in the current situation, even if Xiao Fan denies it, Huang Guan can't believe it.
Looking at Huang Guan's angry face, Xiao Fan had a little headache...... The relationship between this character seems to be a little messed up, Zhu Yunwen likes Huang Guan's sister, Huang Guan's sister doesn't like Zhu Yunwen, but is a little interesting to him, but he and Huang Guan are incompatible political enemies, Zhu Yunwen has always agreed with his reform of the law, he and Huang Guan quarreled, and Zhu Yunwen, who was the referee, secretly kept blowing the black whistle to help him...... To be honest, Xiao Fan is more entangled than the author, what a genius brain does it take to make the relationship between the characters so confusing...... "Xiao Fan! You...... Deceive people too much, use public weapons for private purposes, instruct Jinyi Wei to insult the ministers of the court, Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you allow this thief to run rampant and domineering, do you think you are the king's law? Unscrupulous, the court is full of smoke and miasma, and evil is rampant, all because of you, a thief......" Huang Guan trembled with anger, and his hand pointing at Xiao Fan's nose trembled.
Xiao Fan said helplessly: "Lord Huang, don't go off topic, okay?" We're talking about littering now, how did you get involved in the court? What does throwing a few flowers have to do with the miasma of smoke in the court? ”
"Why does it have nothing to do with the court? If it weren't for you, a thief, who would dare to make a mess at the door of this official's house? You are clearly a blow and an insult......" Huang Guan said and suddenly froze, staring at the chrysanthemums on the ground in a daze for a long time.
Xiao Fan's reaction to him was very strange, and when he scolded, he suddenly didn't move as if he pressed the pause button, which made Xiao Fan feel very unaccustomed.
"Lord Huang, what's wrong with you? This is a chrysanthemum, haven't you seen it? Xiao Fan said curiously, seeing that Huang Guan was still silent, staring at the chrysanthemums on the ground, Xiao Fan triumphantly began to sell articles in front of Confucius, and played a big knife in front of Master Guan.
"Chrysanthemum, perennial Asteraceae herbaceous plants, as many as hundreds of varieties, hundreds of years later even a new kind of chrysanthemum, called 'burst chrysanthemum', Jin Taoyuan Ming poem said: 'Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan', this is what it means......"
Huang Guan ignored Xiao Fan's endless teasing, was silent for a while, suddenly slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand!" ”
Xiao Fan was stunned: "What do you understand?" ”
Huang Guan's expression became more and more angry: "Chrysanthemums are yellow!" ”
Xiao Fan glanced down at the ground, and then nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's yellow, Lord Huang has such sharp eyes......"
"Bright yellow is for the exclusive use of heaven, you pile yellow things at the door of my house, do you want to frame me for transgressing the system? Then you took the opportunity to ask Jinyi Wei to take people, so as to frame the ministers of the court, and eliminate dissidents from the court, so as to achieve your goal of dominating the court and doing evil? Xiao Fan, you are so vicious! Huang Guan's eyes turned blood-red, and he couldn't wait to eat Xiao Fan alive.
Xiao Fan stared at him in astonishment: "Lord Huang's imagination ......"
Huang Guan interrupted him rudely and said viciously: "I'll tell you, Xiao Fan, you don't want to frame this official!" The innocence of this official will not allow you to defile ......"
"Lord Huang, please believe me, I have absolutely no interest in tarnishing your innocence, I don't like that ......mouthful," Xiao Fan said sincerely.
"Xiao Fan, it's useless for you to quibble, this official won't let you succeed!" Huang Guan's entire face was distorted.
Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, how good it would be if there was a psychiatrist in these years, the first great talent of Lianzhong Sanyuan in the Ming Dynasty actually had serious paranoia of being killed, and there were few normal people in this era.
"No matter how you frame me, this official is mighty and unyielding, Xiao Fan, I understand your intentions, as long as I don't die for a day, your so-called reform of the military system will not be realized! I'd rather die headfirst on top of the Golden Palace, and I won't tolerate you messing with the dynasty, you die of this heart! ”
Huang Guan began to use his imagination to complicate this simple matter infinitely.
Xiao Fan explained bitterly: "Lord Huang, this matter is really not as complicated as you think......
It's just a romantic game, how can it be like this? Xiao Fan wanted to cry without tears...... "Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Fan, you instructed Jinyiwei to insult and frame the minister, and this official said that he must be ruthless in the Golden Palace! You must seek justice in front of the Son of Heaven! ”
Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes narrowed into a line when he heard the words: "Join me in front of the Son of Heaven?" That's fine, just ......."
This was originally done by Zhu Yunwen, and I am really looking forward to what kind of expression Zhu Yunwen has when Huang Guanshen himself...... Huang Guan stared at Xiao Fan, was silent for a long time, and then jumped like thunder: "Xiao Fan, you thief, you are so fearless, rampant to this point!" This official will fight with you and clean up the portal for my Ming court! ”
"Lord Huang, calm down, I just called it calm, not rampant......"
The Son of Heaven hooked the girl in a failed way, and Xiao Fan had to help him clean up the mess.
The dark tide is still surging in the DPRK and China, Zhu Yunwen issued an order, and after three days, a large court meeting was held to discuss the reform of the military system, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, whether they were Qingliu or annihilated the party, were doing their homework at home, and the history books and classics were rotten, trying to cite a few things in the ancient laws and examples to refute or agree, these courtiers from the academic class took out the strength of the imperial examination that year, racked their brains to figure out how to debate with their political opponents, and quoted which allusion of the saint could force the political enemies into speechless,—— talking about the ability of these people, except for playing lipsticks, there is really no merit.
Just when everyone was preparing for the big debate in three days, there was a rumor circulating in Jingshi.
The rumors are actually very simple, the general content is that the new Chengyi Marquis, the commander of the Jinyi Wei made Xiao Fan slanderous, and used the reform of the military system to try in a vain attempt to eliminate dissidents in the court and purge political enemies, the consequences of this move are serious, if it is done, it will make the court atmosphere gradually become heavy on military and light on literature, ten years of hard work, but in the end it is not as good as a vulgar martial artist who works hard, if the children of the world's officials and gentry and the common people have risen up to follow it, abandon the literature and follow the military, at that time, the martial arts in the Ming Dynasty was popular in the world, who will read Confucius and Mencius again, who will cultivate Lide again? In the end, what is the future of the Ming Dynasty?
These great truths are nothing to circulate among the people, there are too few ordinary people who can understand these truths in this era, they don't understand what impact the court's heavy literature or heavy military force has on their lives, and they can live how they should live, and their own livelihood is what the people are most concerned about.
Confusingly, when this rumor reached the ears of readers, the reaction was very different.
The literati have always looked down on the martial arts, since ancient times, the literati have been full of a sense of superiority in their bones, "everything is inferior, only reading is high", this sentence is very accurate to summarize the high psychology of the scholars, in their eyes, relying on reading to gain fame is the most correct and beautiful way in life.
Now Xiao Fan's proposal to reform the military system undoubtedly makes the path they chose look very bleak, if the status of martial arts is promoted by Xiao Fan, then why should they bother after ten years of hard work?
This rumor spread wildly in Jingshi, and quickly spread like a plague to the surrounding prefectures and counties of Jingshi. The students of the government and schools in various places were filled with indignation, and everyone was out of the court, and scolded Xiao Fan for being a thief who misled the country and the king.
The second said, the students from the surrounding prefectures and counties of the Beijing Division have entered Beijing, gathered in the Guozijian, in the Gongsheng of the Guozijian under a passionate and extremely inflammatory speech, the students boiled, more than 1,000 students under the leadership of the Gongsheng, together to the Ministry of Rites Yamen, asking for a joint letter, the impeachment of the Jinyi Wei command to make the country chaotic, shake the country, ask the Son of Heaven to remove him from his post and ask the guilt, in order to clear the monarch's side.
The Beijing division was in turmoil, and the hundred officials were shocked and uproar when they heard the news, Ying Tianfu Yin hurriedly sent the officials to arrest the fast, but there were many famous talents among the more than 1,000 students, and the officials did not dare to fight and dare not fight, and they did not dare to arrest them, and they could only watch the students gather in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and raise their arms and shout slogans such as severely punishing the national thieves.
The matter soon spread to the palace, Zhu Yunwen also panicked, such a big thing happened in less than a year after ascending the throne, he had no experience in dealing with the situation, he was suddenly frightened of the six gods, urgently summoned Xiao Fan into the palace, and ordered Xiao Fan to deal with the matter, Zhu Yunwen's only request is not to kill students, otherwise it will push the heavenly family and the court to the opposite side of the world's scholars, which is definitely what Zhu Yunwen does not want to see.
Xiao Fan was ordered to leave the palace with a solemn expression.
Out of Chengtianmen, Xiao Fan's face turned pale.
The reform of the military system will inevitably touch the interests of the literati, which he has long thought of, but he did not expect that Huang Guan and these people would be so shameless, and they would secretly incite those students who did not know the truth to make trouble. The so-called clear stream is nothing more than a group of hypocrites with a holy halo, their hearts are colder than wolves, and more vicious than snakes.
Back at the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, a group of servants, Tongzhi and Qianhu and others gathered in the front hall of the Yamen, quietly staring at Xiao Fan who walked in from the gate, the students made trouble They already knew that if this kind of thing happened, Jinyiwei would definitely come forward, and now everyone is waiting for Xiao Fan to give an order.
Xiao Fan walked into the front hall with a gloomy face, turned his head to look around at everyone, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped the table and said categorically: "Reform is the way to strengthen the country, and I will do it!" No one can change my decision! ”
Everyone clasped their fists together and bowed down and said, "Please give the order!" ”
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Fan muttered: "The students don't know the truth, but they are bewitched by others, and they must not be killed, the official decided to salute first and then the soldiers, and first let the scribes in the yamen write a pacifying notice and paste it at the door of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, stating that the reform of the military system is not about emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and the national policy of the imperial court to govern the country with literature will not change, and the students do not know the reason, and they must not discuss state affairs in vain, please disperse their respective ......"
Cao Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm afraid a pacification notice won't work, right?" What if those nerds don't listen to dissuasion? ”
Xiao Fan sneered: "Salute first and then soldiers, since they don't listen to dissuasion, Jinyiwei doesn't eat dry food!" The order went down, and two hours after the notice was posted, if the students were still picking up trouble, the captain of the Beijing Division Jinyi Guard and the officials of the Heavenly Mansion would expel those students from the city, and then post a notice, if anyone dared to make trouble again, the official would ask the Son of Heaven for an order, revoke his reputation, and never allow him to participate in the imperial examination. ”
Everyone looked stunned, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Order!" ”
As expected, two hours after the pacification notice was posted, the students turned a blind eye and still gathered in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to shout slogans of severe punishment of state thieves, and many impulsive students even smashed the plaque in front of the yamen.
The situation became more and more intense, seeing that it was uncontrollable, Xiao Fan immediately made a decision, urgently transferred more than 2,000 captains of the Beijing division Jinyiwei, and quickly surrounded the students.
The captains were instructed in advance, and instead of using embroidered spring knives, they held iron rulers and water and fire sticks, and the hundreds of households led by them gave an order to drive the students away. After half a pillar of incense, the students have been scattered, one by one covering their heads and holding their heads, the well-trained Jinyi lieutenant in a hundred households, respectively, circled the students who fled everywhere, and sent them out of the city, the students were just pushed outside the city gate, a sternly worded notice was posted, saying that if there are any more students to provoke and make trouble, the Jinyi guard will be severely punished, his reputation will be changed, and he will never be allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and those who are serious will be arrested and taken to prison, demoted to commoners, and exiled for thousands of miles.
This notice finally frightened the students, and their impulsive emotions quickly calmed down.
What is the cause of the trouble? It's nothing more than his own future, and now the commander of Jinyiwei has made Xiao Fan put on an uncompromising posture, from this point of view, not only will the trouble not get any results, on the contrary, if it continues to make trouble, it is very likely that his future will be ruined, who wants to continue to do such a thing that outweighs the loss?
After thinking about the stakes, the students didn't say a word and left quickly with scars.
The students stopped, but Jinyiwei refused to give up, and someone had to pay the price for this matter.
After the students dispersed, the intelligence and detective network that Jinyiwei had woven for more than two years was quickly launched, and countless spies quietly went deep into the folk market under Xiao Fan's order and began to thoroughly investigate the root cause of the matter.
Jinyiwei's detective ability is not ordinary tough, after the students dispersed for two hours, the culprit who spread rumors and secretly incited the students to make trouble was found out, it turned out that the two Luodi Xiucai who had repeatedly failed the examination in the Beijing Division took other people's silver, and they were instructed to cause this turmoil, and the two Luodi Xiucai were immediately arrested by Jinyiwei.
When Cao Yi asked for instructions on whether to open a gap from these two Xiucai and find out who they were instructed by all the way, Xiao Fan thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and told Cao Yi to find out this matter until now.
It doesn't matter who commanded it, everyone knows it well when they are in the court, and it is good to say that there is no cause of death after all, but if this matter involves officials of the DPRK and China, it will inevitably be another stormy storm, and these are the sensitive periods for the implementation of the reform of the military system.
Although it is not checked, the necessary deterrence measures must still be done.
Xiao Fan immediately ordered the captain of Jinyi to beat gongs and drums to escort the two Xiucai to the vegetable market, and in front of the officials and people of the Beijing Division, he read out aloud that the two Xiucai gathered to make trouble, and their bad intentions and other major crimes, and then the captains raised their knives and fell, and the two heads fell to the ground, and the onlookers and the people were terrified, and the execution ground of the vegetable market where thousands of people gathered was silent, and after a long time, the crowd quietly dispersed in a terrible silence.
The gentle and elegant commander of the Jinyi Guard made Xiao Fan show his fangs, and gave the Qingliu of the court a hard blow to the mountain, those Qingliu ministers finally realized what kind of person their opponent was, this person held great power, and held the Jinyi Guard that made people talk about the tiger's color, and the politeness and forbearance in the ordinary words were just to show his quality and cultivation, but once he really touched the limit of his tolerance, he would remove the appearance of Sven and kind, reveal his hideous face, and tear the opponent to pieces without hesitation.
If anyone still does not believe in evil, the two bloody human heads hanging high on the wall of the north gate of the capital division are the best proof.
In such an atmosphere of terrible silence, the great court meeting after three days finally arrived.
On this day, it is the great son who decided the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and the history of Zhu Ming came to a fork in the road.
Today is also a major battle between the court to annihilate the party and the Qingliu, and this battle will determine the situation in the court from then on.
After that, whether Qingliu dominates the court, or annihilates the party rampant in the world, everything is about to be revealed, and this day will be recorded in the annals of history forever, and the eternal ...... "Eternal!" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Cao Yi: "It's just a few pedantic Qingliu who block me, and it's not over to settle them, why are you so sensational?" It's still in the annals of history, I've done too much in the annals of history in my life......"
Cao Yi smiled dryly: "Didn't I add a little tragic atmosphere to you, Brother Xiao, have you thought about how to deal with those clear streams today?" ”
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the king of Yan is about to rise, and the troubles within the court must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise he will be defeated by the hands of the king of Yan in the future. I have to subdue the group of people in Huangguan today! ”
"How do you deal with them? Those pedantic ministers are all soft and hard, and if you want to reform the military system, I am afraid that there will be a hard battle in the court today......"
Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Yes, this is really a troublesome matter...... These sour people don't eat oil and salt, and their gas volume is narrow, and they are not as tolerant and broad as I am at all......"
Cao Yi said with a strange face: "You...... Tolerant and broad-minded? ”
"Isn't it?"
"If the Qingliu people hurt you, will you forgive them?"
Xiao Fan said seriously: "Don't they respect Confucius? Forgive them for being Confucius's old man......"
"What about you?"
Xiao Fan was silent for a long time, and said leisurely: "...... I was in charge of sending them to Confucius. ”
