In front of Zuo Shun's door, hundreds of officials, plus their entourage, there are one or two thousand people, looking from a distance, a large area of black pressure, it is true that among these people, almost all of them are officials in blue robes, but the number and momentum are also rare in these years.

The leader came was Song Quan, who was dressed in a cotton robe, covered with an official uniform, without fur to keep warm, and the cold wind wrapped snowflakes on his body. His face was so cold that his face was blue, and his nose was dripping.

Song Quan didn't care, strode to Zuo Shun's door, and shouted: "The officer on duty listens to the truth, and the officials have given Song Quan a book in the matter, please send it to His Majesty." ”

As soon as his words fell, the ministers behind him spoke in unison, all of them were played, and the sound of the sound could actually be transmitted to the Nine Imperial City!

Hearing this, Li Chaoqin trembled, his face was pale, his fingers trembled, and he scolded.

"It's all against the sky, the master's sacrament is against the peace, and he is resting, and at the end of the year, even if it is an ordinary people's family, he has to have a good year. You dare to go to the Forbidden City to make trouble, because you are deliberately chaotic and have ill intentions, and our family will not tolerate you! ”

"Someone!"

The sharp voice spread far and wide, and the Dongchang fanzi on duty, the brocade guards, and the guards in the palace poured out together. In fact, a few days ago, Dongchang heard that hundreds of officials burned incense and bathed, wrote excerpts, and prepared to participate in the book.

When the news reached Lao Wei's ears, Wei Zhongxian didn't care much.

According to his estimates, at most it is a few painless impeachment twists, and he can pinch the Donglin Party to death, and he doesn't care about these at all.

But when the real thing came, Wei Zhongxian and his subordinates suddenly realized that the situation was not at all what they thought.

Li Chaoqin can only give a death order, he must drive these people away, no matter what, he must have a good New Year!

The brocade guards with iron rulers and ropes surrounded the officials in the middle, and they neatly tapped the weapons in their hands, making a thumping sound. It's heart-pounding.

"The big guys are all straight, if they retreat, we won't have the face to see people!"

"Yes, instead of starving to death at home, it is better to be beaten to death, so that you can go down in history!"

"That's right, Shi Ke can't be humiliated, if anyone retreats, we will kill him, and it's not illegal to kill someone in Zuoshunmen!"

……

The civil servants exchanged heads. There is no intention of retreating.

Li Chaoqin couldn't wait, he glared at him, and sneered: "Section Chief Song, you keep saying that you want to go to the imperial court, but do you know that the holy dragon is sick, if you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, you should go home and endure it honestly." Don't come out and make trouble! ”

"Hmph, we people are here to heal the Holy One!"

"Nonsense, do you know how to heal?"

Song Quan sneered disdainfully: "The disease of the saint." We are worried about national affairs, although we don't understand medical skills, but we understand medical countries! As he spoke, Song Quan turned to face all the officials. Tears rolled down their faces.

"Colleagues, Da Ming is sick! Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been a poor livelihood. Now the official is not bored! No one can survive. said that Donglin was a disaster to the country, Donglin had fallen, and that Jiannu was a disaster, and Jiannu had been peaceful. But why is Daming still riddled with holes, or is it getting worse? We used to be confused, but now we understand that there is something wrong with the roots! Why was the tax revenue of the imperial court intercepted in a daze and disappeared? Small families live a small life, and they have to calculate the accounts clearly, the huge Ming Dynasty, I don't know where the money went, isn't it ridiculous! ”

The words were reasonable, and many officials present secretly wiped their tears.

Song Quan had tears in his eyes, and sneered at Li Chaoqin: "We are all powerless civil officials, if my father-in-law wants to fight, he will kill!" But as long as we still have a breath, we must ask this reason! ”

After speaking, Song Quan took the lead and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are loyal, but Zhao Sun and Moon, ask the emperor for mercy, see the ministers and wait for one!" ”

When he cried, everyone else followed, and tears welled up and heard in the sky.

Li Chaoqin looked at these people, he really gritted his teeth, hated and feared. If he really confronted Banzai face to face, Wei Zhongxian and his party have not been greedy for ink over the years, and they have been fat and oily, and no one will end well if they are investigated.

No matter what, he's going to keep things down!

Li Chaoqin thought for a while and sneered: "You really don't retreat? ”

"Die and never retreat!"

"Okay, they're all good men, let's see, are your bones hard, or are your whips hard? Give our family a hard beating! ”

At the sound of an order, the people of the Jinyi Guard couldn't hold it back for a long time, and they raised their leather whips and iron rulers one after another, and beat them down according to the hundred officials.

The whip of raw cowhide, wrapped in iron wire, struck the body, and within two blows, the cotton clothes were shattered, and then the flesh and blood were blurred. The officials present were all weak scholars, who had suffered this crime, and the people on the periphery quickly fainted in pain.

Jin Yiwei was like a mad dog, constantly whipping, one after another, hundreds of officials were beaten to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding, and they died and came back to life. The bright red liquid flowed on the white snow, the color was hideous and terrifying, and the smell of blood was pungent, making people shudder.

Li Chaoqin was on an errand in Dongchang, and he had never seen any punishment, but these civil officials in front of him actually raised a strong sense of fear!

They are powerless, they are cowardly, they are tortured and beaten, they are hard-boned! You can be injured, you can die, but no one retreats!

Song Quan used his body to block in front of his weak companions, his back was full of blood, there was no good piece of meat, and he was stunned!

"Big guy, remember, we are the officials who shed blood and tears, and we are the conscience of the Ming Dynasty, and we can't retreat!"

The howling of hundreds of officials was heard far away.

From the side of the noon gate, a group of people suddenly ran over, they were dressed in red official uniforms, red cloaks, and beams on their heads, and their steps were in a hurry, and they came to the left along the door.

Running at the forefront is Hong Fuyi, who has been looking forward to recovering Liaodong, and even practiced martial arts hard, and his kung fu is not weak. Among all the high-ranking officials in the ministry, he is the number one!

Rushing behind Jinyiwei, Hong Shiki flew up with a kick, kicked down one, turned around and punched twice, and knocked down two more.

"Dare to fight Jinyiwei, I want to rebel!"

The executioners were about to attack, but when they saw that it was a high-ranking official from the ministry, they also trembled with fear. After hesitating, Wei Guangwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, Huang Lizhi, a university scholar, and Tian Ji of the military department. And a dozen other high-ranking officials from the ministry all came out of breath.

"Stop, stop it for the old man!"

Wei Guangwei took two steps in three steps, and when he arrived in front of Li Chaoqin, he took a deep breath, his face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was frozen or angry.

"Gonggong Li, it is their duty for hundreds of officials to write books, and please ask your people to stop!"

Li Chaoqin looked at Wei Guangwei. Said disdainfully: "It turned out to be Wei Ge Lao, they didn't go to the book, but rebelled, knowing that the master was raising his body, but he came to make trouble at the root of the year." Didn't you literati say that it was tolerable or intolerable? If our family doesn't take care of the door for the master, our family will really damn it! ”

Wei Guangwei gritted his teeth and said angrily: "They are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty and the mainstay of the imperial court!" ”

"Humph!" Li Chaoqin sneered: "Our family only listens to the master, and only listens to Father-in-law Wei." Of course, aren't you Wei Ge Lao the same? ”

Li Chaoqin was originally afraid, but when he saw Wei Guangwei, they were not afraid, and these high-ranking officials were in awe of Wei Gonggong, and those officials kneeling were their disciples and grandchildren. Protégé of the deceased. Sun Monkey met the Five Elements Mountain, one thing descends one thing, you civil officials make trouble by yourself!

Wei Guangwei hated the root of his teeth at this time, and he was really aggrieved as the first assistant. Just because he succumbed to Wei Zhongxian, he didn't even take Li Chaoqin in his eyes, he really regretted not being at the beginning!

Wei Guangwei suppressed his anger. He turned to the front of many officials and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Everyone, your thoughts and old men are all in their eyes, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone go back first and have a good New Year." What you mean the old man will play on your behalf, you can rest assured, there will be a satisfactory answer! ”

Song Quan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Yuan Weng, among the people we want to impeach, you are the only one, we want to ask you, the Ming Dynasty is like this, what can you do about it?" ”

In a word, ask Wei Guangwei, even if he has a way, doesn't he still want Wei Zhongxian to agree!

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly something bad happened, and many officials present said disdainfully: "Yuanfu, don't you deceive the big guy anymore?" The court has been exhausted, and it is you who have harmed you, so how can we believe you? ”

"Yes, we want to play with the saint, we want to see the emperor!"

……

The hundred officials made noise again, but Li Chaoqin was angry, he waved his hand and screamed: "Toast without eating and drinking, come and send our family to the Dongchang Prison, a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Dongchang is in charge!" ”

The people of the factory guard were about to do it, and all the high-ranking officials present wanted to protect it, and it was not possible to protect it, but at the last moment, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and from far to near, a four-wheeled carriage came.

When they reached the outside of the encirclement, the carriage stopped, the curtain was opened, and the groom supported him, and a man came out of it.

This person is very tall, even if he is bent over, he is not shorter than ordinary people, he walked over slowly, and when the wolf-like Jinyi guards saw him, they were all frightened and retreated, and even the officials on the ground automatically gave way to a road. This person was supported by the guards, unhurriedly, stepping on the snow, and walked to the front of Zuoshun Gate.

"Yongzhen!"

Hong Shiki walked over a few steps and grabbed the visitor.

"Yongzhen, you don't want to die! Why didn't you recuperate in the house on this cold day, and what did you do when you ran out? ”

Listening to Hong Fu's words, everyone was shocked, it was the newly crowned King Anton, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ke! I saw him arching his hand at Hong Shiki and everyone present, and smiled slightly.

"Teacher, the disciple wants to recuperate, but the matter involves the disciple, and the disciple can't be a turtle with a shrunken head!"

Li Chaoqin saw Zhang Ke coming, his face changed, he walked over, gave a deep salute, and said with a smile: "Dare to love the prince has arrived, and the slave and maid have lost their welcome!" ”

Zhang Ke didn't look at him at all, and snorted in his nose.

Lu Xiangsheng, who followed behind Zhang Ke, sneered: "Beating hundreds of officials, unheard of, he has been cultivating history for a long time, and his father-in-law must have a stroke!" ”

"You!" Li Chaoqin wanted to say something, but Lu Xiangsheng had already turned his head and followed Zhang Ke to the front of the officials.

Zhang Ke first attacked the big guy, and now frightened many people, although Wei Guangwei also gave a salute just now, but Wei Guangwei could not escape the involvement after all, and everyone was resentful. But Zhang Ke is the prince, they can't break the etiquette, even the injured officials are struggling to give the ceremony.

Zhang Ke waved his hand and asked Lu Xiangsheng to put a mink cushion, he sat on it, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "If there is no cushion, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." ”

"Lord Wang!" Many officials' eyes suddenly turned red, and the recovery of Liaodong did not allow Zhang Ke to reach the peak of his reputation, but after mentioning the disarmament and establishment of the province, the officials said that he had retired after success, and Zhang Ke had the style of an ancient benevolent.

In today's situation, except for the Apocalypse who is deep in the ninth realm, the only one who has the weight to mediate this matter is Zhang Ke, and everyone looks at him expectantly.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Ke calmed down and said slowly: "This king knows that everyone is here for morality. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials present were in tears, and said in their hearts that the prince still understood the big guy, and he became more and more confident in Zhang Ke.

"As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, and the treatment of the disease must first treat the symptoms, and then treat the root cause. The household department allocated silver, saying that it was to reward the Yizhou soldiers, whether they arrived or not, they were all counted in the name of this king, and the current financial gap was two million taels, and this king would bear it! ”

"How can you let the prince bear it, this is all a traitor in the court, we have to hoe the traitor!"

Zhang Ke waved his hand decisively and raised his voice: "I said, we must treat the symptoms first, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, Your Majesty is not in good health, and you are recuperating, and you can't disturb Your Majesty as a courtier, I am ready to sell a piece of land in Fengtai Daying, and I can make up five or six hundred thousand taels." Elder Wei Ge, Elder Huang Ge, and all the adults, you all have to think of a way, the living can't let the urine suffocate to death! (To be continued......)
