"Your Majesty, Duan Xi is back."

Zhang Rang's report made his depressed heart feel a little more comforted.

"I'll go see him right away, go."

Anyway, staying in the palace won't make any difference, so it's better to find another way.

I haven't seen it for more than a month, Duan Xi's face has a little more wind and frost, it seems that this journey is not easy.

However, he brought back more than 200 men, all of whom were strong men who had experienced a hundred battles, and now they had entered the city in batches.

"You have also seen the current situation, I want to ask you to rush to Yunzhong immediately to protect Li Gong's two sons."

said and looked at him apologetically, "You just came back from the side, and you have been working hard again." ”

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty, and the minister also admires Duke Li very much."

Duan Xi didn't say much, he accepted the task and immediately went on the road, the time was pressing, and he had to rush before Liang Ji started.

"General Yang, has Gong Li's youngest son been taken away?"

"It's been taken away, placed in a proper place, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Hearing Yang Jian's reply, Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was unable to protect Li Gu, but at least he still saved his three sons from being wiped out by Liang Ji.

Li Gu's eldest son Li Ji and second son Li Zi are both in Yunzhong, while the youngest son Li Xie is serving his father at home.

With Liang Ji's usual style of acting, he would definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and now he was only worried that Duan Xi would not be able to rescue him.

"Over there in Xiamen, you have to control the situation, Liang Ji's move is to anger the people, and he wants the people behind him to jump out automatically."

"No, the ministers will be careful."

Yang Jian bowed down to promise, time waited for no one, arranged everything, and went separately, this incident, almost all the staff under Liu Zhi were dispatched.

Even Fan Chao's men blended in with the crowd in front of the Xia Gate, posing as an angry crowd there.

This is a very severe test for Liu Zhi, he has never personally commanded a major operation, and he racked his brains and thought deeply.

He still feels that he is overwhelmed, and his overall vision and control are still too immature, not only because there are too few people at his disposal.

Taking a deep breath and facing the cold wind, Liu Zhi's eyes showed a resolute look, he would never admit defeat like this, even if his head was broken and bleeding, he had to continue to persevere.

Because now he is shouldering not only personal life and death, but also the fate of countless people.

Before, he had never felt the need to be responsible for them, but now, he had gradually integrated into the role of Emperor and knew the great meaning of what he represented.

I, Liu Zhi, will definitely be a good emperor, for the world, for the people, but also for himself, his relatives and friends, and never give up!

In front of today's Xiamen Pavilion, thousands of heads are crowded, and there is a flood surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and many people are sad and crying depressedly.

The thin body hung high, the gray hair fluttering in the cold wind, poked everyone's eyes.

Rows of armor soldiers were waiting with halberds, and their hands couldn't help but tremble slightly in the face of the surging people.

But even if they can't bear it, they are helpless, the military orders are like mountains, if they don't do it to those people who break in, then they will be dealt with by military law.

Fortunately, the Confucian scholars who were sitting and demonstrating in front of them blocked the footsteps of the people, all of them wearing white scarves and looking sad and angry, but they still restrained their actions.

A young showman dressed in linen and filial piety unfolded a sacrificial text written in blood and chanted loudly:

"Woohoo! The festival of whiteness, the same as the bright sun, the integrity of loyalty, good integrity, Zhuoguan ancients.

Born of the Yuan Jing, the king's minister, and the heaven is solid, it will be a holy Han, and it is advisable to sign it in order to show the Quartet......

Loyal to the outspoken, moral to auxiliary government, forgetting the country, death as a retribution, and sitting in the discussion of the country, then see the destruction.

Alack! The virtuous and foolish are painful, and the sea is afraid. Feeling the injustice of the emperor, the pain into the back soil, the virtuous and foolish mourning, the small and big injuries ......"

His voice was impassioned and moving, and many scribes behind him burst into tears.

The people couldn't help but cry out in grief.

Seeing this scene, the samurai in charge of guarding the guard changed his face and scolded sharply.

"The general has an order, Li Gu conspired to rebel, committed suicide in fear of crime, exposed the corpse to set an example, if there are mourners and worshippers, they will all be guilty of the same crime."

The young Xiushi sneered, "I am Runan Guo Liang, and the disciple of Li Gong is also, if you can't pay tribute to the deceased master, but please be guilty!" ”

"Yes, Li Gong killed himself and became benevolent, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for righteousness!"

……

The student was completely enraged, and said angrily.

"Choking~"

The little leader was startled, drew his saber suddenly, and shouted fiercely: "Can you rebel? ”

In the face of the sharp tip of the sword, the Confucian scholars were not afraid, but were aroused by the blood, and the noise became even more violent.

Seeing that a bloody conflict was about to happen, Sun Huai, the chief of the Xiamen Pavilion, hurriedly blocked in the middle.

"You scholars don't know anything, Li Gong has violated the law of the country, and he should be punished, I advise you to leave quickly, don't get into trouble."

He had good intentions, but unfortunately Guo Liang and the others were indignant at this time, where could they listen, they still stared angrily and did not move.

Sun Huai was anxious, so he pretended to be angry: "You are really pedantic, you dare to openly offend the emperor's order, and if you don't retreat, you will be arrested." ”

Guo Liang did not flinch: "We are righteous and righteous, why do we regret this?" The people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death. ”

Sun Huai couldn't help but be silent, and admired more and more in his heart, but he knew that if he persisted like this, these people would not be able to escape the poison.

Then he sighed: "In today's world, you should be alone, if you feel that there is a grievance, you must be able to bend and stretch, endure humiliation, otherwise there will be no day to redress grievances?" ”

These words finally moved them, and at this time, some people among the Confucian scholars began to persuade them, and Guo Liang lowered his head and pondered for a while.

It seemed that some kind of decision had finally been made, and he retreated without saying a word, which made the armorers breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, they didn't want to kill these scholars and unarmed people, they were just forced by military orders.

In the apse of the Chongde Palace, Liu Zhi had just sent away several courtiers who had come to petition, and these people knew that he had no right to make an order, but they came here to speak fiercely and burst into tears.

The whole situation made him very embarrassed, and he even suspected that some of them were sent by Liang Ji to test him.

As long as he dares to echo or sympathize with him, if he can't do it, he will go to be with Li Gu.

So he could only comfort them with a smile and say some ambiguous clichés, and finally sent them out.

Liu Zhi sighed tiredly, dealing with these old foxes is really tiring.

I don't do anything about personnel, I specialize in chewing words, digging pits and traps for people, and playing word games all day long.

If he hadn't been silently auditing for a year, he would have been familiar with their routines, but he was afraid that he would be played around by these old guys.

After a tired day, he was about to go back to the North Palace, when Tang Heng came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Guo Liang, a disciple of Duke Li, with a blood book and an axe, is kneeling in front of the palace gate to petition, and wants to submit a letter to you to avenge your grievances."
