"And such a thing? Can the Great Si be sentenced to the Dutch school? ”

"What kind of minister dares to humiliate the scholar doctor like this, is it true that the people of the world have no backbone?"

"If this matter is true, and the traitorous ministers deceive the king, we, as literati, must go to the Son of Heaven and do justice to the Great Si clan!"

The emotions of the people who went to the examination in Yingtian Hall have been mobilized, but this matter is a little exaggerated, but it makes people a little unbelievable.

"In the next is the prince of the country, Gongsheng, and I am willing to guarantee with my life that what I say is true. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Guozijian to find out, and the Dasi clan will also be punished in the snow! ”

After that, this Guozi Gongsheng left two lines of tears, for him, the Guozi Eunuch Sacrifice Wine is not in name, but the real teacher.

"Yi Chen, can this still happen to Jingshi?"

Li Tingxiu also asked Shen Yichen with a surprised face, the last time he went to Beijing to take the exam was more than ten years ago, could it be that the Jingshi has fallen to such a point that even the Guozi priest wine can be insulted at will?

Facing the teacher's inquiry, Shen Yichen thought wildly in his mind, as long as this kind of big event happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty, then he would definitely have an impression.

Soon Shen Yichen remembered the record in the history books, that is, during the orthodox dynasty, Li Shimian, the priest of the Guozi Eunuch, went to the court and asked to rebuild the Guozijian, so the Ming Ying Sect sent Wang Zhen to inspect the situation.

At this time, Wang Zhen was already in power with the government and the opposition, and officials from all sides were flattering, and they tried their best to receive them extravagantly everywhere they went. As a result, when it came to Li Shimian's Guozijian, he was only entertained according to normal standards, and did not deliberately cater to it.

This incident made Wang Zhen feel embarrassed, thinking that Li Shimian despised him. So he held a grudge and tried every means to collect evidence about Li Shimian's crime and revenge, but he didn't expect to find nothing.

There is no such thing as a conviction, Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty has already become famous, and Wang Zhen is naturally not easy to copy. I could only make up a branch that Li Shimian had broken in the Guozijian, and he was suspected of cutting down and stealing official trees, and forcibly convicted him.

Even in order to set an example, he completely humiliated Li Shimian, and directly sentenced him to the punishment of the Dutch school and stood three days before the Guozi Prison.

Let the students of Guozijian take a good look at how embarrassed Li Shimian is to become a sinner!

As a result, Wang Zhen never expected that the crime he convicted was too outrageous, but instead let the students of Guozijian and the literati of Beijing share the same hatred, unite and go to the palace gate to knock on the grievances, and also jointly send a letter to the emperor, which completely made the matter bigger.

It's just that if Shen Yichen remembers correctly, it is recorded in the history books that Li Shimian was framed by Wang Zhen during the scorching heat, and it was a cold winter at this time, and the time was a little wrong.

Could it be that the historical trajectory has deviated again because of its own appearance?

Just when Shen Yichen was puzzled, the examinees in the hall had already walked out of the door, ready to go to Guozijian to support Li Shimian.

"Yichen, let's follow too."

Li Tingxiu's face was serious at this time, and the dignity of the teacher was one of his life creeds.

No matter what the reason and the crime, the scholar can be killed, not humiliated, and the identity of the teacher must not be trampled on!

"Yes, sir."

Shen Yichen also wanted to figure out what was going on, so he nodded yes and followed with Li Tingxiu.

At this time, there was already a crowd outside, not only the people who went to the examination of the Yingtian Hall were ready to support, but also the people of the halls in Shandong, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places on this street also poured out.

If nothing else, the group of students in Guozijian has already notified all the guild halls in the two capitals and thirteen provinces to raise their sons.

In front of the gate of the Jingshi Guozi Prison, Li Shimian, Zhao Wan, and Jin Jian, the priest, were standing here with shackles on their heads. The snowflakes that kept falling from the sky made their hair white, covering them with a layer of snow.

Beside Li Shimian and others, there was a circle of military service members who maintained order, and even more on the periphery were angry literati, constantly colliding with the military servicemen, and many people still had tears in their eyes.

In the distance, there was also a group of brocade guards, who were watching what was happening in front of the gate of the Guozi Prison with cold eyes.

When Shen Yichen and the others came to Guozijian, there was already a black area in front of them, and it was estimated that there were at least no less than a thousand people. At the same time, slogans such as "release people", "unwarranted", "traitors in charge" and so on kept ringing in their ears.

Li Tingxiu and Shen Yichen wanted to stand on the side and see what the situation was at the scene first. As a result, he was constantly pushed forward by the crowd, and finally became one of the supporters.

In the midst of the crowd, it is even more difficult to see the situation. There was no way, Shen Yichen had no choice but to pull a scholar beside him who was flushed because of his emotions and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, who did the Da Si clan offend to be punished like this?" ”

"So unscrupulous, who else can there be but a thief dictatorship?"

This gentleman did not name him, but the word "eunuch" is enough to indicate the identity of the other party.

It seems that history has not deviated too much from the trajectory, and it is still related to Wang Zhen.

Shen Yichen was glad that history had not deviated too much, but after hearing the word "eunuch", many people in the Yingtian Hall who rushed over behind him showed a solemn look on their faces, and they were not as indignant as before.

Small kiosk

You must know that even if you are in Yingtianfu, Wang Zhen's name is like thunder, and everyone knows what the consequences will be if you offend him.

As a person who entered Beijing to take the exam, he has been studying hard for many years just for the moment of spring, if he loses the opportunity because he is involved in this turmoil, is it worth it?

However, there were also some more impulsive and enthusiastic scholars, looking at Li Shimian and others wearing shackles in the distance, and couldn't suppress the righteous indignation in their hearts and shouted: "We are so afraid of that eunuch, watching the Da Si clan being humiliated? ”

In the face of doubts, the red-faced scholar explained angrily: "This is the emperor's order issued by the Holy Lord who was blinded by the eunuchs, who dares to disobey!" ”

That's right, if you want to deal with the civil officials of Guozijian like this, even if Wang Zhen is to avenge his personal revenge, he can't do it without a holy decree.

As for whether Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen meant this, or how much truth he knew, it is estimated that only God knows, anyway, the holy decree has been issued.

Hearing that it was the emperor's order, this group of hot-blooded and impulsive scholars were instantly dumbfounded.

The eunuch can still fight, can the emperor's order still resist?

However, this silence did not last long, and soon the scholars from other guild halls also arrived one after another, and as the number of people increased, the order on the scene began to become more and more chaotic.

The soldiers, who had been able to barely maintain order before, began to be unable to withstand the onslaught of the soldiers, and the defense line was constantly compressed.

"Be careful, sir."

In the face of this crowded and chaotic crowd, Shen Yichen firmly protected Li Tingxiu's body, after all, Mr. was nearly forty years old, and he was not young in ancient times like the Ming Dynasty.

"Yichen, you should pay more attention!"

Li Tingxiu also sensed that the situation was developing out of control, even with the blessing of the Holy Decree, the students of the previous Guozijian did not dare to act rashly.

Now, with the continuous arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life, many people do not know that this is the emperor's punishment. Even if you know that in such an environment, it is impossible to keep a clear mind and calm down.

Seeing this situation, one of the Qianhu people bowed to the leader standing in the center and said, "Lord Tongzhi, there are more and more scholars coming from all over the place, and the scene is chaotic and I am afraid that there are suspected robbers, should we take action to suppress it." ”

The leader known as Lord Tongzhi is the current commander of Jinyi Guard, Tongzhi Lu Zhong. He was ordered by Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei, to come to the gate of Guozi Prison to supervise and serve his sentence, but he didn't expect the matter to be so big, and there was a vague suspicion of getting out of control.

"Okay, you can bring someone over to play the pressure, and you can even arrest a few scholars who are causing trouble. Today's events are related to the face of the prince, and they must be done clean and beautiful, otherwise none of us can afford to blame them. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

After this Qianhu received the order, he immediately beckoned the Jinyi guards who were watching and went to the location of Li Shimian and the others.

If this group of scholars really snatched people away today, then Wang Zhen blamed him, I'm afraid someone would lose his life!

Shen Yichen on the other side had already squeezed into the forefront with Li Tingxiu, and he was only one step away from Li Shimian and others who were showing the public with a flail.

The more they were in this position, the more intense the clash with the guards became, and both sides were already huddled together, constantly battering. Even some of the frail scholars were already suffocated and their faces were flushed and they couldn't stand steadily.

"Sir, the disciple will not let you suffer such an insult!"

"Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, how can you tolerate Xiao Xiao jumping beam!"

"Colleagues, if you work harder, you will be able to rescue Mr.!"

The scene of "victory" was close at hand, which stimulated many scholars, and they shouted and continued to rush forward.

It's just that there is no room for a place in the forefront of the collision with military service. The people behind surged forward frantically, causing people to fall down constantly, and then they were trampled on by the people who were behind and couldn't get up.

Stampede!

These four words popped up in his mind, and Shen Yichen was instantly frightened into a cold sweat. Coming from later generations, he understood far more than the people of this era the danger of stampede accidents, and once the chaos continued to intensify, the consequences could be "heavy casualties"!

And in the face of this kind of man-made disaster, personal strength cannot guarantee the safety of himself and his husband at all, and this kind of thing must be prevented!

Not only Shen Yichen, but Li Shimian in the crowd also found that some scholars fell and couldn't get up.

The ancients may not have understood the technical term "stampede", but they were not ignorant of the harm caused.

"The upper one runs through the fish, and the lower one gathers ants." It is a description of the dangers of crowding in the stampede accident in ancient books.

"Calm down, don't crowd forward anymore!"

"The old man is already a rotten body, you young people, it's not worth it!"

Li Shimian's voice was hoarse, but because of his advanced age and the fact that he had been frozen in the snow for most of the day, it was almost inaudible, and there was no dissuasion effect at all.

Seeing this scene, looking at Mr. Li Tingxiu, who was already stumbling beside him, Shen Yichen understood that he was the only one who came out of this!

"I am the son of Chengguo Gong, Shuntian Xinke Xie Yuan Shen Yichen, I hope you will calm down for the time being, and you will definitely save the Da Si clan from fire and water!"

With a shout, the soldiers standing around Shen Yichen all looked at him after hearing it, and stopped continuing to charge.

The confusion of many group incidents lies in the fact that none of the leaders stood up, and the identities of Xinke Xie Yuanlang and the son of Chengguo Gong were enough to make Shen Yichen look forward to it and suppress the situation that was already out of control at this time.

To be honest, Shen Yichen really didn't want to mention the son of Cheng Guogong, but he also understood that the matter was urgent, and there was no identity that could be better used than the signboard of Guogong.

However, Shen Yichen's shout could only affect a small area around him, and the chaos in other places was still continuing.

"Pass it out, Xinke Xie Yuanlang will preside over the overall situation and let the gentlemen calm down!"

Shen Yichen understood that it was impossible to affect the thousands of people present by just shouting by himself. Only by letting others spread it together can the situation be stabilized!

Some people of insight around him also realized the crisis of the matter, and if those literati who fell down could not get up, I am afraid that it would cause a catastrophe.

"Xinke Xie Yuanlang Shen Yichen has come forward, everyone don't be impatient!"

"All beings will stop for the time being, Shen Jieyuan will preside over the overall situation!"

"Shen Jieyuan has the identity of the son of Chengguo Gong, and he will definitely be able to prove the innocence of the Dasi clan!"

A shout began to spread among the literati crowd, and the previous restless scene calmed down slightly. Some of the scholars who were squeezed in finally got a chance to breathe and were helped up from the ground by others.

At the same time, a team of Jinyi guards also rushed into the crowd, but in addition to maintaining order and ensuring that Li Shimian and others serve their sentences, they were also ready to take down a few scholars who were making trouble!

Shen Yichen chose to come forward, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Jinyiwei!

"You are Shen Yichen?"

Qianhu, the brocade-clothed guard who received the order before, had also come to Shen Yichen at this moment, and the shouts in the crowd that he was going to preside over the overall situation were naturally heard by Qianhu.

"Exactly down there."

Shen Yichen said yes.

In fact, he has already noticed that the other party is not good, but he still has done enough etiquette, and only by saluting first and then soldiers can he put himself on the moral high ground.

"Take it for me!"

After confirming the identity of the other party, this brocade-clothed guard Qianhu did not have a second nonsense, and directly prepared to call someone to take down Shen Yichen.

The reason is very simple, he came here to establish his authority and deter this group of scholars. If you talk crookedly for a long time, where will the deterrent effect come from?

As for the fame of Xie Yuan and the identity of the son of Chengguo Gong, it doesn't matter to him, the sky is falling and there is a top. Now that Wang Zhen's power is monstrous, even super-grade officials such as concubines can be arrested and imprisoned, and a Xie Yuan is a fart!

"You dare!"

Shen Yichen didn't expect the other party to be so unreasonable, and he was going to take someone to prison directly.

"I am the new branch of the Yuan meritorious name, unless Shuntian Xuezheng removes the meritorious name, and the criminal department signs the driver's post during the matter, you have no right to arrest!"

Many people learned about secret intelligence agencies such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei from the film and television works about Wei Zhongxian in the late Ming Dynasty, and thought that they could arrest and interrogate court officials unscrupulously.

But in fact, the essence of Jinyiwei is a military institution, and the fact that he can become a lackey accomplice of eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty also has a lot to do with the military attache background of Jinyiwei's command, which is naturally lower than the two grades of civil officials and eunuchs of the same rank.

That is to say, if the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the third rank cannot add the title of three dukes and three orphans like Lu Bing in the Jiajing period, his actual status is not as good as that of the military attache of the fifth grade.

Do you say that in such a situation of nobility and martial arts, can Jinyiwei not become a minion?

Therefore, Jin Yiwei's power is not as great as many people think, at least in the orthodox years, if Jin Yiwei wants to torture people with meritorious reputations, he must let Xuezheng remove his reputation first, and then sign an arrest warrant by the Criminal Department, otherwise it is illegal.

Of course, this is only a theoretical process, once Jinyiwei completely surrenders to the eunuchs of the eunuchs and becomes a tool with someone to protect them, the law will become a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, this Qianhu used practical actions to interpret that the door-to-door is called Xiucai encountering soldiers, which is unreasonable. He didn't care about any procedural justice at all, and still ordered: "Take it!" ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, didn't you stand up and preside over the overall situation? Go to the edict prison first, and see if you dare to jump again later!

Seeing that Jin Yiwei insisted on taking people, the literati present also became excited.

"You and other lackeys ignore the laws of the imperial court?"

"I can't punish the doctor, not to mention that the other party is a new science and technology solution!"

"Everyone, I want to see how long they can deceive the saint!"

The situation, which had finally calmed down for the time being, was ignited again.

At the same time, Li Tingxiu, who had been standing beside Shen Yichen, strode forward and blocked in front of him.

"Sir, you ......"

"Needless to say, you are my student, and as a teacher, you will never allow such a perverted act!"

"Zhao Baihu, what are you still grinding about, take down the one who took the lead in making trouble!"

The team leader Qianhu saw that Shen Yichen and the others still dared to resist, so he yelled behind him, saying that he had won it several times, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.

There is the support of the prince on it, and even the prince of the country has to honestly suffer the punishment of the Dutch school, and a few people who don't even have official bodies have nothing to worry about.

As the team leader Qianhu turned around and urged, Shen Yichen and Li Tingxiu saw a familiar face in the crowd of Jinyiwei.

He is Zhao Hongjie.

At this moment, Shen Yichen froze in place, and he instantly understood what kind of state of mind Li Da was in when he faced Zhao Hongjie.

At the same time, he never thought that he would one day stand on the opposite side of Zhao Hongjie!

Compared with Shen Yichen, when Li Tingxiu saw Zhao Hongjie, he was hit even more, and even his body shook twice, and he almost fell down without standing firmly.

His lifelong principles of teaching and educating people are all emphasizing the establishment of morality first, and it is acceptable that students with poor grades will not be able to pass the imperial examination, but they cannot accept the disciples who have been trained by their own painstaking efforts, and now they have become eunuchs and eagle dogs.

"Hongjie, you, you ......"

Li Tingxiu trembled, pointed at Zhao Hongjie and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he stumbled backwards.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

The first sound was shouted by Shen Yichen, who immediately took a step forward and supported Li Tingxiu, who was about to fall.

The second voice was shouted by Zhao Hongjie, and he also rushed over with an arrow, ready to protect his teacher.
