Ruan Dacheng originally thought that with the soldiers of the two towns supporting him, at least in the battle in the capital, he could suppress Zhang Jinyan. But who knew that a Shen Tingyang appeared at this time, and he also came with a large army, and immediately caught Ruan Dacheng off guard.
"Lord Shen, don't forget that the sailor is stationed in Jiangnan, it's no good for you to do this!"
Shen Tingyang was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Lord Ministry, the subordinates are more important than His Majesty's will, and the Ming Dynasty is the most important. Besides, this time it's not that the lower officials want to trouble you, but these scholars and scholars, you don't listen to the words of the vulgar martial artists, and you can't listen to the words of the scholars! ”
As soon as Zhang Jinyan saw Shen Tingyang coming, he also had confidence, and immediately smiled: "Lord Ruan, since the scholars have something to say, we might as well listen to it. ”
"Hmph, the major events of the national dynasty, how can a bunch of yellow-mouthed children be able to put their beaks, Lord Zhang, the official is still the same sentence, you had better stop the precipice as soon as possible, don't run all the way to the dark!"
At this moment, suddenly a young man strode out, in his early twenties, with clear eyebrows and a high nose.
"My lord, I don't dare to talk about the major affairs of the country and the dynasty, but just talk about this small matter of people's livelihood, isn't it okay?"
In the face of hundreds of students, Ruan Dacheng had no choice but to say nothing with a black face. At this time, Zhang Jinyan smiled and said: "Say, no matter what it is, this official will definitely help you make the decision." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
These scholars bowed together, and the leading scholars even knelt in front of Zhang Jinyan, and said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, the student's name is Pei Heng, and he has been in the capital for more than two months. In just these two months, the price of grain in the capital has risen from 10 taels to 17 or 8 taels, almost doubled, and the people complained, even ordinary people could not afford it. Some of the scholars who came to the capital had to drink porridge every day to survive. The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. A land of abundance. Is it true that there will be no idle fields in the world, and the farmers will still starve to death? ”
After Pei Heng finished speaking, many poor scholars also spoke, and some people couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears, these days, they have saved a stomach of grievances in the capital. They all cried.
Ruan Dacheng said with a dark face: "What are you crying about, you read hard in the cold window, no one is like this?" Besides, now that there is a war, there are so many troops to support, and the rise in food prices is inevitable, you are wronged. Isn't the court wronged? ”
When Wu Kaijie heard this, he was immediately angry, and he stepped in front of Ruan Dacheng in one step: "Lord Ruan, think about it one last time before you speak, and then open your mouth, so as not to laugh and be generous." Ann ** is desperate ahead, but the military rations we get have not increased. And there are frequent deductions. I can sue the big guy, An** has been able to maintain until now, all thanks to the thistle of the country's businessmen to borrow grain! ”
What the?
The soldiers present suddenly exploded, and there was not enough food at the front, and there was not enough food at the rear, so where did the food go! Can it be gone?
"Sir, what's going on with this grain, there's no grain anywhere, don't the people of the Ming Dynasty farm the land?"
"Farmers are still planting, and this year's harvest is better than usual. It's just a pity that from top to bottom, there are too many moths and rats. One by one, they were greedy for ink, stealing grain from the treasury, and even hoarding them. What's more, there are even more people who want to make huge profits. did not hesitate to sell grain to the Tartars in the north, because of this, the world has no food, such profiteers, such dog officials, if you don't get rid of it, I am afraid that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will starve to death! ”
Ruan Dacheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, pointed at Wu Kaijie and scolded loudly: "Don't you talk nonsense and frame the imperial court officials, this officials, this officials, this officials......"
Ruan Dacheng didn't wait to finish speaking, he felt that his eyes were dark, and a pair of rag shoes happened to smash into Ruan Dacheng's face.
It was Pei Heng who made the shot, and he said to all the students: "Did you hear it, no wonder the courtiers attacked the Duke of Ji a few days ago, it turned out that they all worked for the Tartars and wanted to betray the Ming Dynasty." Framing good generals, snatching food, what else can't these crazy guys do! ”
"Get rid of the traitors, protect the community!"
"Get rid of the traitors, protect the community!"
These scholars were suddenly excited, and they waved their fists one by one, and rushed towards Ruan Dacheng.
Don't look at the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, they seem to be powerless, but when it comes to the ability to fight in groups, they are not weak at all. They shouted and screamed, thinking that Ruan Dacheng pounced.
Ruan Dacheng has also seen a big battle, and he knows that in the face of these stunned youths, he can't explain it at all, so he can only turn around and run!
Although Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing have soldiers in their hands, they don't dare to come nonsense, if they attack these scholars, they are afraid that they will stab the hornet's nest, not to mention that there are Shen Tingyang's sailors and Dongchang Jinyiwei's people on the side. They were helpless, so they could only stomp their feet fiercely, covering Ruan Dacheng to escape together.
These gentlemen are still unrelenting, desperately chasing after behind, and a group of scholars chasing and killing soldiers in armor is definitely a great spectacle, and Wu Kaijie is even more smiling.
"Whoever says that scholars can't fight, I'll be the first to be in a hurry with him!"
drove away Ruan Dacheng, and these scholars all came to Zhang Jinyan and them, and they all knelt down in a large area.
"My lord, it's not that we can't afford to eat food, and it's not that we can't stand the suffering, it's just that these corrupt officials and profiteers don't take Daming Sheji seriously at all, and our hearts ache when we look at it!"
Pei Heng and the others lay on the cold ground, howling and crying bitterly.
Zhang Jinyan's eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Everyone is patriotic, and the officials see it in their eyes." This official has just returned from the front line, and the warriors who serve the imperial court are not well fed and clothed, who can still serve the Ming Dynasty, and who will protect thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Daming has no shortage of strong men, but a group of corrupt officials have been ruined, everyone can rest assured, this official will be investigated to the end, and will never let go of one! ”
After Zhang Jinyan finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to hurriedly take a stack of accounts and hold them tightly in their hands.
"This official will go to face the saints now and bring their crimes to the light!"
"Okay, let's follow you!"
These scholars followed closely, Shen Tingyang also brought people to protect them, and Dai Ying even asked the people in Dongchang to hurriedly inform the little emperor Zhu Cihong.
The mighty procession went straight to the Wuchao Gate.
"Jianguo, what do you think you can do about this?"
A large group of civil and military ministers gathered in front of King Fu, all of them were pale, and in front of everyone, there were several vassal kings, all of whom were pale and trembling.
"Prison country, it is true that we have received gifts from grain merchants, but how do we know what they are doing, these guys actually dare to sell grain to the Tartars, aren't they digging our ancestral graves? It's a fool to do that kind of thing. ”
"Don't say it, you're a bunch of fools!"
Zhu Youxiang shook his huge body and said angrily: "Zhang Jinyan has already seized the evidence, and he has also moved those scholars to follow and shout, and then there is An ** to help from outside, this is forcing the palace, don't you understand?" ”
King Lu stood up at this time, he and King Fu had fought for the throne, but now, they can only stand in a trench with the same hatred. He said: "Prison country, Zhang Jinyan is a lackey of Gu Zhenhua, intent on disturbing the Ming Dynasty, they have people, don't we have them?" This king thought that he should give Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing an order to get rid of Zhang Jinyan. ”
"It's easy to eradicate Zhang Jinyan, but what about An **, they returned to the division in a big way, can you stop it, or can I stop it?"
"Jian Guo, I have already asked, although An ** won the battle, the army is already half-crippled, and Gu Zhenhua is caught between the thieves and the Manchu Qing, unable to move, don't worry about ......"
Before King Lu finished speaking, a eunuch outside suddenly shouted, "Master Fu has arrived!" ”
As soon as they heard that Ma Shiying was coming, these people were all happy, as if they had come to save their lives, Ma Shiying was cunning and cunning, and there must be a way.
"Yuan Weng, you're here!"
Everyone greeted Ma Shiying together, but as soon as they saw Ma Shiying's appearance, everyone immediately gasped, and within a few days, Ma Shiying's sideburns were pale, wrinkles were piled up on his face, and he no longer had the energy to be radiant.
After walking in, without saying a word, he threw a six-hundred-mile expedited in front of everyone.
"Gu Zhenhua won another battle in Henan, and I heard that he completely annihilated 100,000 horses of the Dashun army in one fell swoop."
Fu Wang Zhu Youxiang was a big fat man of more than 300 catties, but when he heard this, he jumped up.
"Gu Zhenhua is an immortal, how can he always win a big battle, and 100,000 people at once, who can believe this!"
Ma Shiying sighed: "Prison country, what is Gu Zhenhua's ability, the 40,000 Tartar heads are proof, let's not fight anymore." What I'm most worried about now is that Gu Zhenhua will follow the precedent and let these thieves run to Jiangnan, and then we will be restless! ”
"How dare he?"
"What don't you dare."
King Lu also said: "Didn't you say that Gu Zhenhua was seriously injured and dying, how could he still have this ability?" ”
"Hahaha, this is to lie to the child, just at Zhang Jinyan's crazy energy, Gu Zhenhua is absolutely fine, and he is guaranteed to live better than the old man!"
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and they looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, suddenly a little eunuch ran in and knelt on the ground.
"Big, it's a big deal, Zhang Jinyan took a group of scholars to beat the Dengwen drum!"
At that time, the diligent old Zhu set up Dengwen Drum, and set up a special person to manage, once there was a complaint from the people, the emperor personally accepted it, if the officials got in the way, they were all heavily punished.
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiang didn't know where he was, this was about to be a complete showdown.
"Hurry up and send someone to stop these fanatics!"
"Slow!" Ma Shiying waved his hand to stop it, and then said: "Prison country, don't resist hard, otherwise things will be out of control, and it will be really bad." Gu Zhenhua just wants food and silver, and he will give it to him. As for the blame, Ma Shiying bears it, Daming can't stand the toss! ”
