On March 18, the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, there was a light rain on the streets in the early morning of the Qingming Festival, and the husband who patrolled the night put his coat up, put away the bangzi, and was about to call it a day.

Zhenguo Mansion is one of the best mansions in the capital, there is a huge open space in front of the door, there are hundreds of horse tethering piles alone, in the past, if the city is full of people, since the incident has become deserted, the door can be Luo Que Zhu lacquer, the door is pasted with two seals, on which the words of Qin Mi Si Feng are written, usually at night, there are often some people who are not afraid of death secretly come to burn paper, so it is normal to see some ash piles in the morning, but today is very different, more than a dozen white wreaths are placed there, the spirit flag hangs low in the drizzle, and there are a few scholars with hemp silk wrapped around their waists kneeling in the rain。

The husband was shocked, but the Guogong was corrected because of rebellion, this is a big crime of the nine clans, not to mention mourning, even in the teahouse to express sympathy for Liu Ziguang's remarks, will be taken by Ying Tianfu to ask the guilt, what happened to these people? After eating the ambition, the leopard had the courage to take a wreath and wear filial piety, and openly mourned at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, isn't this sincerely against the court!

Even more terrifying things are still behind, and there are people on the wet stone road, carrying wreaths and holding white flowers, slowly gathering over, and the more people gather, the gate of the house has also become a sea of flowers, countless white notes with eulogies swaying in the wind, and countless low whimpering echoes in the rain.

These people who mourn the town of Guogong are mainly students from the three major halls in Beijing: Jinling Academy, Donglin Academy, and Guozijian, and there are also some female students from all over the country who are waiting for the spring festival, or one or two female students from Jinling Women's Academy. Many of the people who have received Liu Ziguang's favor have also joined in, pinning small white flowers on the placket of their clothes to put a stick of incense on the heroes who have died to death.

The atmosphere at the mourning scene was gloomy and depressing, and the young students did not dare to openly question the practices of the imperial court, so they had to use poetry to vaguely express their sorrow for Liu Ziguang and their indignation against the traitors in the court. A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly jumped on the altar and recited a eulogy in a loud voice:

I want to be sad and scream

I cry jackals laughing

Shed tears to sacrifice heroes

Raise your eyebrows and sword out of the sheath

This is not so much a five-character quatrain, but rather a limerick poem, and the scholars present can write a more regular poem than this, but this sad and indignant mood is expressed very well, especially the last sentence raised eyebrows, the sword is unsheathed, and it expresses the determination to never let go of the traitor who framed Liu Ziguang, and everyone applauded loudly. The young man didn't have a square scarf on his head, and it seemed that he was not a student of the academy, but he was more courageous than anyone else, and he openly raised his arms and shouted: "The Duke of Zhenguo was unjustly killed, and there was a traitor in the court, we must avenge Zhaoxue, the Duke of Zhenguo." ”

His voice represented the hearts of everyone present, and countless voices rang out: "Zhaoxue! Exonerate! ”

At this time, suddenly a gong sounded, and a large number of Ying Tianfu officials with water and fire sticks appeared on the street, and the team leader scolded loudly: "Everyone leave the scene immediately, and after a stick of incense, Ying Tianfu will begin to clear the scene." ”

The students' emotions have just been mobilized, where can these lackeys with black and red hats be rampant, it is said that the Zhenguo Gong was executed in the Yingtianfu Ya, which aroused everyone's righteous indignation, the students protected the wreaths, glared angrily at the officials, most of the officials in the capital are some bad guys with pus on the soles of their feet, how can there be any justice in their hearts, they just wait for the head of the class to give an order, they will wave water and fire sticks and pounce on them and beat the students.

The students are all weak scholars who are powerless, and they are defenseless, where are these wolf-like opponents, the scholars who are beaten with water and fire sticks are flying, and the scholars are bleeding, and the officials kick the wreaths to the ground with soap boots, and step on a few feet, countless white paper flowers are soaked in muddy water, mixed with the blood of the scholars, and the tragedy is extremely fierce.

Ying Tianfu arrested dozens of students, cleared all the wreaths in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, and designated it as a forbidden area, strictly prohibiting anyone from staying. The students were enraged, and an undercurrent surged, and in the afternoon of the same day, tens of thousands of students came to the Zhenguo Mansion again to protest and demonstrate, despite the obstruction of the officials.

In fact, in this era, everyone didn't know what a demonstration was, but the resentment in their hearts drove them to form a huge lineup, from the Zhenguo Mansion to the streets, to the Tianfu Ya's request, and Lord Yin to release the students who were arrested without guilt.

Seeing the huge momentum of the students, Ying Tianfu quickly closed the door and refused to respond, the angry students simply demolished the mansion, rescued the classmates, grabbed those foxes and fake tigers, and beat Ying Tianfu Yin and Xu Qin if they didn't run fast, they would have been beaten by the students.

The students achieved a major victory, seized a large number of water and fire sticks, and were carried away by the victory for a while, some people proposed to go to the noon gate to persuade the emperor to kill the traitorous ministers for the town of the country, Zhao Xueping was rehabilitated, and immediately responded, countless students immediately elected representatives, and wrote a letter of advice, everyone bit their fingers, pressed their handprints, and opened to the noon gate.

This student movement was not expected by the imperial court, and he never expected that killing a Liu Ziguang would cause such an uproar, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he asked Xu Qin, who fled into the palace to report the news, what are you doing on an errand. Xu Qin said with a sad face, these people are all high-achieving students in major academies, among them, there are many students with the status of people, as well as the sons and daughters of the princes of the country, not to mention that there is a flood of people, and Ying Tianfu can't do anything about them.

As he was talking, the eunuch came to report that the students had come to the noon gate, and they were holding weapons and pulling banners, saying that they wanted to give the town a fair time, and they wanted the emperor to accept their advice.

Zhu Youxiao was furious: "Could it be that they want to force the palace." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Xiucai rebelled for three years, and the slaves thought that these scholars were all provoked and used by people with ulterior motives, as for who the provocater was, the emperor naturally knew it." ”

Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that Liu Ziguang was not dead, and this person was good at using the power of public opinion to achieve his own goals, and it was very likely that he was behind the scenes of this student uprising.

"Xiao Weizi!"

"The minions are here."

"What is the crime of gathering a crowd to besiege the noon gate?"

"The conspiracy and rebellion, Ling Chi, punished the servants of the Nine Clans, beheaded their families and relatives, and was sentenced to 3,000 miles."

"Well, you go and do it, I don't want to see the scholars of the Ming Dynasty become traitors and thieves without a king and a father."

Xu Qin was stunned when he heard this conversation, and watched Wei Zhongxian leave, and couldn't help but say, "The emperor is all Confucian." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have picked up weapons to besiege the noon gate, what kind of Confucian are you, do you want to say that I am a tyrant who burns books and pits Confucianism?" ”

Xu Qin hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare to die!" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's stop you, who should be Tianfu Yin, who is tired enough." ”

Xu Qin hurriedly kowtowed, thanked him no more, bowed out of the Qianqing Palace, and came out to wipe a cold sweat, he really couldn't control the situation in the capital, rather than being investigated for dereliction of duty again in the future, it would be better to return to his hometown now, at least he could save his life.

The students gathered outside the noon gate saw a eunuch wearing a python robe appear on the city tower, and thought that the emperor had sent someone out to admonish him, but how did he know that the eunuch waved his hand, and a row of soldiers with fire guns appeared on the concave city wall of the noon gate, and before they could react, the deafening sound sounded, and hundreds of students standing in the front row were shot and fell, and then the noon gate was wide open, and the cavalry of the Imperial Forest Army with maces rushed out from inside, and they were rampaging in the group of students, pitiful, although these students were numerous, but they were not organized at all, and they were divided and surrounded in a blink of an eye, and the water and fire sticks in their hands did not work at all, but attracted the mace of the Imperial Forest Army, which was a one-sided massacre, and the students died in maces and horsesHundreds of people trampled on each other and died, but fortunately, Wei Zhongxian had other plans, so he didn't ruthlessly capture thousands of students alive and put them in prison.

The students who made trouble were all people with status, either they were raised or the children of the family, and killing them all was tantamount to destroying the foundation of the imperial court, so Zhu Youxiao still softened and didn't do anything, even the nine clans, and the troublemakers were removed from the fame and never used it, but Wei Zhongxian was ingenious and used the detained students to start a business, which did not pay tens of thousands of taels of silver, and did not let people go, which made the capital complain for a while.

There were a lot of scholars who died, including the Donglin Party Reserve of Donglin Academy, the loyal fans of Zhenguo Gong of Jinling Academy, and the children of the family of Guozijian, and even more amazingly, among the victims, there were female students of Jinling Women's Academy.

The deceased's name was Zhu Yingtai, and the second-grade students of Jinling Girls' Academy followed their classmates to participate in the parade that day, and they were stoned to death by the mace of the Imperial Forest Army, and their heads were deflated, and then they were trampled by horses' hooves and broke their legs, and the death was extremely miserable.

But this vigorous student movement still failed, the democratic ideas in the enlightenment stage are still very immature, unable to fight against the powerful imperial power, after the storm of bloody suppression, there are no longer people on the streets of the capital who openly complain for the grievances of the town and the country, the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants are full of Qin Misi spies, when they see the slightest discordant remarks, they will show their waist cards to take people, most of these careless spies are from the old Dongchang, this time it can be regarded as raising eyebrows, under their obscenity, the people of the capital are cautious and cautious, and the atmosphere is depressed to the extreme.

I thought that everything would settle down, but no one expected that an even more powerful movement had quietly begun.
