On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Gaochi called Yang Pu to Luan Yu and gave him a face-to-face lecture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Then Yang Pu broke away from the team under the escort of a team of brocade guards and headed south in the starry night.

Yang Pu's whereabouts did not escape the eyes of Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Fu, and the two immediately judged that he was sent by the emperor to invite Wang Xian out of the mountain.

"Your Highness thinks, can Master Yang succeed in going here?" Zhang Fu and Zhu Zhanji rode forward side by side, and they were not dazzling on this part of the march.

"Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the thatched cottage three times." Zhu Zhanji sneered: "This is only the second time, right?" I'm afraid I'll have to return in vain. ”

"Oh, Your Highness's opinion is very reasonable." Zhang Fu seemed to be in a good mood and laughed.

"I'm all blind...... Zhu Zhanji also laughed.

said yes, did yes, and the two of them quickly left the team and followed Yang Pu...... The task given to them by Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Fu was to pay close attention to Wang Xian's movements, and if necessary, to use all their strength to delay Wang Xian's return to Beijing.

The next day, the funeral procession returned to Beijing, and the larger funeral began......

As soon as they returned to the capital, the civil officials tossed up and held a huge funeral ceremony for more than a dozen officials such as Jin Youzi who were beaten to death by Xungui. Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others tried their best to persuade Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other old ministers to organize this funeral in the name of the cabinet, the six ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Generally speaking, when an official of the yamen dies in office, he usually holds a public memorial ceremony for the deceased official in the name of the yamen, which is also an old practice, but it is also reasonable. However, there has never been a precedent for the main yamen of the imperial court to hold a public sacrifice together!

However, the civil officials were unprecedentedly united in their hatred and insisted that all civil officials were victims, and that all civil officials and yamen should hold public memorials. And not only the capital, but also the local yamen must join in, and the whole country will mourn, so as to comfort the dead officials and deter the criminals!

On the second day of the second month of February, the day when the dragon raises its head, it is also a national memorial day set by civil officials. On this day, the civil officials in the capital, regardless of their official positions, incumbents or idleness, all came to the public memorial site located on Qipantian Street. This most prosperous street market in the Ming Dynasty has been filled with curtains, paper people and paper horses, and plain paper flowers have piled up the entire chessboard heavenly street. Officials attending the memorial came from all over the world, rubbing shoulders in front of the meeting platform, crowding the chessboard sky street. Seeing the lively people, there is no place to insert their feet, so they can only climb to the roofs on both sides of the heavenly street, and the house birds are generally lined up, looking at the majestic official lord on weekdays with great interest, and turning into a very sad victim......

"This is a rare sight that is seen once in a century." The common people were elated and gossiping.

"No, the princes and lords just sacrificed for the Yangwu marquis a year ago, and in the past few years, the civil officials and lords have returned the tribute to a game ten times larger! Powerful! Interesting! ”

"No one watched the Yangwuhou scene, it was just hearsay, or the civil officials were bright and placed on the chessboard street, so that we could enjoy it!"

"You just know how to watch the excitement, the civil and military disputes in the Ming Dynasty have reached the point of life and death, this is the civil officials building momentum! Do you understand the momentum? "In the capital, there has never been a shortage of people who understand the world in the market and have the world in mind.

"I know how to make, but I can't make a momentum." The man who was accused by him touched his head and said with an urn.

It caused a lot of people to laugh, and many people almost fell from the house laughing......

The common people completely looked at the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, which made the high-ranking officials on the altar quite unhappy. If he hadn't wanted to expand the influence of the public sacrifice, he would have let the officials of Shuntian Mansion drive those **** away.

Yang Shiqi, the initiator of this public sacrifice, did not care, and he was very satisfied that this public sacrifice could create such a big momentum. This time, by paying tribute to Jin Youzi and other officials who were killed, the scattered civil officials finally united and crusaded against the atrocities of the noble generals. And more importantly, the civil servants are united under the cabinet flag, not the six ministries...... Yang Shiqi wants to turn this public memorial conference into a crusade conference, a swearing-in conference, and a league conference. As for the leader of the alliance, it is naturally the cabinet, and it is he Yang Shiqi Scholar.

In addition, Yang Shiqi was a little selfish, he glanced at the tablet of Jin Youzi in the center of the altar, and said in his heart: "Brother Youzi, I'm sorry for you, but let you enjoy this first share of the glory of the past, let's be even, don't hold grudges anymore, go to reincarnation as soon as possible......

Yang Shiqi has been haunted by nightmares these days, as long as he closes his eyes, Jin Youzi, who is covered in blood, will appear, wailing and asking for his life......

While thinking wildly, Yang Shiqi heard a crisp sound of cloud boards, knew that the public sacrifice had officially begun, and hurriedly collected his mind and put all his attention on the public sacrifice.

On the chessboard street, the water was crowded with two or three thousand civil officials, large and small, and there were tens of thousands of people who came to see the excitement on the periphery.

The mourning music sounded, and thousands of officials paid tribute together to pay a silent tribute, and the scene was very shocking. After the officials got up, the master of ceremonies announced that Yang Shiqi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a secretary of the military department, would deliver a eulogy on behalf of all officials.

Yang Shiqi took a step forward and looked at the civil officials in the audience, all the civil officials, regardless of their rank, looked up at him. Yang Shiqi's heart was full of pride, this is the life he wants!

Putting away the untimely pride and recovering his face full of sorrow, Yang Shiqi cleared his throat and began to chant aloud the sacrificial text he had carefully concocted.

"On the second day of the second month of the first year of Hongxi, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jin Gong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Soldiers, Zhai Gong, and the former member of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Gong...... Therefore, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the funeral of twelve colleagues and friends such as Xie Gong, and Yang Shiqi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a scholar of the Ministry of War, said for the text: Jin Gong Youzi, famous and good, with words and lines, and retired from the nunnery. A native of Xiajiang, Jiangxi. Jianwen was a scholar in the second year, and he was awarded the household department to the ...... in the matter"

After introducing the lives of the twelve officials, Yang Shiqi changed his words and said impassionedly:

"These twelve dukes died on the same day, and in the Changling Tomb on the same day, the nobles committed murder and killed the princes in the former emperor Ling! Woohoo woohoo, Jin Gong is the minister of the community, and he met the master, but he thinks of repaying the service and sparing his own life, just to contribute to the community and benefit the people! Unexpectedly angered the powerful, was poisoned, and suddenly became a ghost who died in vain! Woohoohoo, full of talent is in vain, and the blood of loyal ministers is soaked in the imperial tomb! The misery of its state and the sorrow of its feelings, three generations have fallen, and the cover is unheard of! ”

"When the princes were killed, the noble people turned into beasts, besieging and killing our ministers without humanity, and the majestic mausoleum turned into a field of Shura, and the Son of Heaven became a hell on earth before his eyes......"

Then Yang Shiqi described the situation that day, and listened to the grief of the officials who were not there that day. Those officials who were present that day and were severely beaten wept bitterly and were in pain, causing the scene to cry and cry one after another.

Outside the venue, the people were also shocked when they heard it, and it was hard to imagine how those pampered princes and uncles could turn into man-eating beasts? But the facts are in front of you, Jin Youzi and the twelve people were killed by them!

"Whew! Xungui is ferocious and barbaric, lawless, forcing the king to go to the front, killing the minister behind, looking through the history books, never seen before! When Yang Shiqi thought of this, it had turned into a hoarse shout, and he saw that his expression was hideous and distorted, his eyes were blood-red, and he was almost crazy!

"Punish the murderer! Avenge your colleagues! Yang Shiqi's performance completely mobilized the emotions of the audience, and some officials shouted hoarsely, which immediately attracted thousands of people to shout together: "Severely punish the murderer!" Revenge, revenge! ”

"Not bad! My generation is an official of the imperial court, guarding the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how can I be reduced to meat on the anvil and slaughtered by others?! Yang Shiqi excitedly threw away the sacrificial text in his hand, raised his arm and shouted.

"Can't! No! "The emotions of the officials have been completely controlled by Yang Shiqi, like a powderpot that has been ignited, no longer the elegance of the past, one by one, their eyes are bloodshot, their chests are beaten, and their angry emotions can ignite the sky! 、

"This time we can't back down because we can't back down! Take a step back, the world is so big, and there is no place for me to stand! Yang Shiqi roared: "We will start to strike from today!" When will the murderer be punished, and when will he return to the Yamen! ”

"Strike! Strike! The murderer will not die, and he will never return to the court! The officials shouted in unison, and no one objected.

This is also not correct, at least Jian Yi Xia Yuanji and other old ministers were shocked, because the matter of the boycott of the dynasty had never been mentioned by Yang Shiqi before. In fact, they didn't agree with this kind of grand public sacrifice, but Yang Shiqi said that if this was not the case, the civil officials would be trampled on the soles of their feet forever, and several old ministers reluctantly agreed to come to Yang Shiqi to stand on the platform.

But they were afraid that Yang Shiqi would mess up, so they had read his sacrificial text in advance, and only after revising it according to their opinions did they allow Yang Shiqi to read it. Who would have thought that Yang Shiqi would not play cards according to the rules, throw away the manuscript, and open his mouth!

Several old ministers were cautious all their lives, and they couldn't imagine that they would not be able to guarantee the late season here in Yang Shiqi, and listening to Yang Shiqi shouting to stop the dynasty, several old ministers were about to faint. They are standing behind Yang Shiqi, anyone will think that this is the consensus they have reached!

However, at this time, the crowd is raging, and if anyone dares to pick out and sing the opposite, if they don't get it right, they will be eaten alive by the civil officials in the audience!

So Jian Yi and the others had to endure and remain silent, and when the public sacrifice was over and everyone turned to the stage, they broke out together and surrounded Yang Shiqi angrily, asking: "Why don't you discuss with us in advance about such a big matter?!" ”

"Is that necessary?" Yang Shiqi looked at these gray-haired old guys coldly, and said contemptuously: "In the past thirty years, it has been proved that you can't lead civil officials against noble generals, so please put aside the interests and don't get in the way of the younger generations." ”
