The confrontation in Chang'an gradually changed its flavor.

Maybe it was the cry under the roots of the imperial city that aroused the sympathy of some people who didn't know the truth, or maybe someone deliberately instigated it.

The common people also got involved and sided with the dismissal of officials.

In the official office, Pei Shu looked at a secret letter from the palace, and his face was cloudy.

The emperor's restructuring, he generally agreed, after all, today's Datang is not the previous Datang, the effective control area is only a part of Guanzhong, and even the Beidaemun Post Office has not been recovered

Come on, you don't need so many bloated institutions.

However, he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Chongning's methods.

Of course, there are many people in the three provinces and six departments, but there are also many conscientious people.

He wanted to say two words of justice for these people, but he didn't know what was going on, he was elected by everyone, and ran into Zhao Chongning again, and things quickly changed for the better.

With so many people embracing him, Pei Shu couldn't turn back for a while, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent pushing the situation worse.

This is what he doesn't want to see, and he has the heart to reconcile with Zhao Chongning, but Zhao Chongning's upright temper obviously exceeded his expectations.

"Pei Shilang, I can't bear it anymore, Your Majesty lives in the palace and is deceived by traitors, as long as we make a big fuss, Your Majesty will see it." A ministry official said.

"Big trouble? How many heads do you have? Pei Shu scoffed.

The emperor has been forbearant until now, and he is already merciful, is he really an emperor or a former emperor?

People change.

A letter from the palace asked Pei Shu not to take the lead, and he regretted it now, and he was pushed to the front desk inexplicably.

Maybe it's time to talk to Zhao Chongning heart-to-heart, Pei Shu glanced at the subordinates around him, "Go to Shangshutai." “

As soon as he left the gate of his house, the old members of various departments poured up, and there were no less than a thousand people before and after.

Pei Shu felt that something was wrong, "Why are there so many people?" “

I used to serve in the ministry, but I didn't feel that I was bloated to this point.

"Of course, there will be no shortage of people who eat imperial grain, and there are still some people who are afraid of things and do not come." Get close to your subordinates and report back.

"You go back first, and each ministry can appoint one or two people." Pei Shu felt that things couldn't go on like this, otherwise something would definitely happen.

However, his orders were obviously useless, and basically no one listened.

Those who come out to make trouble must have their own ideas, and they can't be dismissed in a sentence or two.

As soon as everyone shouted, they pushed Pei Shu and went to the street.

The people along the street didn't know what was going on, and they also followed, Pei Shu sent people to retreat several times, but more and more people gathered.

The people who were sent out later did not know where they were squeezed to.

Zhao Chongning was extremely irritable, since Pei Shu jumped out, the old members seemed to have found the backbone, and some unreasonable people also made trouble.

For the old members, Zhao Chongning is selfless and unrelenting, but he can't afford to be ruthless to the people of Chang'an.

The matter of restructuring is beneficial to the country and the people, why don't these people understand?

"Pei Shilang came here with someone." Subordinate reports.

Zhao Chongning's face was pale, "Stubborn." “

Just like knowing that something big was happening today, many people followed, but when they entered the imperial city, they were stopped by the Praetorian Guards.

Entering the Shangshu Provincial Public Office, the personal guards stopped everyone at the foot of the steps.

"This is national politics, benefiting the country and the people, and you need to mess around." Zhao Chongning stood on the steps and said loudly.

Pei Shu arched his hand, and before he could speak, someone next to him shouted in his throat: "The three provinces and six ministries are the foundation of the country, Your Majesty will be bewitched by traitors, I want to ask for an explanation!" “

"Yes, ask for an explanation!"

The crowd was excited, and some people tried to break through the interception of the guards, but these scholars were still too weak in front of the battle-hardened soldiers.

"What do you want? Your Majesty has already divided your high-quality fertile land, and you are still not satisfied? Zhao Chongning's liver fire also came up.

Pei Shu felt that he had to say two words at this time, "Don't be noisy, you have something to say, ....."

Suddenly, Pei Shu felt a chill in his heart, and a dagger passed through his chest.

Immediately, his voice drowned out the noise around him.

"Your Majesty has been bewitched by traitors, don't be afraid, rush forward!" There were people in the crowd who kept instigating, pushing Pei Shu, who had turned into a corpse, forward.

The guards who stopped at the foot of the steps suddenly felt a sharp increase in pressure, and the strength of these scholars became a lot greater.

However, there was no order from the emperor to protect Zhao Chongning, not to kill, not to draw a knife, and soon drowned in the crowd.

There was a mess in front of the Shangshu Gongya.

More than a dozen people from the guards stood in front of Zhao Chongning.

Zhao Chongning was furious, "You are making trouble!" ”

"Ah, Pei Shilang was killed by a traitor, you avenge Pei Shilang!"

"Revenge!"

Zhao Chongning heard the shouts below, and was shocked, Pei Shu is dead? "What the hell is going on? Don't mess up, don't mess up! “

At this time, he couldn't hold back anything

If it weren't for the people who guarded the capital to protect him in the middle, I am afraid that he would have been overwhelmed by the out-of-control crowd.

And obviously, he is what others call a "traitor".

Zhao Chongning was sweating profusely, he never expected things to develop like this.

It's okay for personal safety, if you delay the major event of restructuring, you will be a sinner of Datang!

Zhao Chongning was so anxious that there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves rumbled from far and near, shaking the masonry of the ground.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the old members of all departments will withdraw from Shangshutai and be responsible for plotting rebellion!" Liu Quanli shouted with a sharp voice, four or five hundred cavalry behind him, and the sword was out of the sheath.

Seeing the knife dangling, the momentum of the troublemaker was stagnant.

"Don't listen to him, the eunuchs colluded with Zhao Chongning inside and outside to deceive Your Majesty, don't be afraid, they don't dare to do it!" There are always four or five identical voices in the crowd clamoring.

Many of these former members of the three provinces and six ministries have experienced the era of Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong, and the literati doctors of the past dynasties attributed the reason for the decline of the Tang Dynasty to the eunuch party, and their teeth itched to hate the eunuch party.

Liu Quanli's appearance undoubtedly ignited their greater anger.

Someone in the crowd secretly pulled out a short knife.

Looking at the crowd that poured up, Liu Quanli's eyes were only cold, he was not Zhao Chongning, and he had not read many sage books, but he climbed up from the bottom of the cold palace.

Liu Quanli, who is usually as docile as a dog in front of the emperor, is now like a hungry wolf, "Those who act rashly will be killed!" “

The six ministries of the three provinces are not all officials, but also the errands, officials, and errand officials of each department.

These people also mixed in the crowd, and there were some brave people who rushed towards Liu Quanli.

The cavalry staggered, and the first few fell in a pool of blood.

"The eunuchs have killed, the eunuchs have killed!" There was an even greater outrage in the crowd.

Liu Quanli looked at each other coldly, "Everyone waits, but there are those who are standing, don't be killed!" “

"You can't kill, you can't kill." Zhao Chongning, who was standing on the stage, instead spoke for the troublemakers.

More than a dozen people fell, blood snaking like a stream under the steps.

Finally someone got scared and fell to their knees.

Someone has to take the lead in everything, after all, there are a few people who really don't want to die, in front of the bright horizontal knife, many people suddenly feel that it is good to have a piece of fertile land, the emperor did not let them suffer, and they can live a good life by subleasing it to the homeless.

A large group of people knelt down, highlighting the seven or eight people who were standing.

These people are burly, and although they are wearing court uniforms from various ministries, they are obviously not official masters.

Liu Quanli's face jumped, and his eyes swept among the kneeling people, "Catch it alive." “

The cavalry dismounted.

A fierce light suddenly burst out in the eyes of several people, and they rushed to Zhao Chongning on the steps, slashing and killing the kneeling officials along the way.

Zhao Chongning was stunned by a series of changes, but the guards beside him were not stunned, and pulled out their horizontal knives to meet the impact.

The other party pounced on him like a moth, not avoiding the blade, just hoping to stab the short knife into Zhao Chongning's body.

However, the guards are all good hands in the army, and some even use their bodies to block short knives.

Blood splattered onto Zhao Chongning's face, causing his eyes to change little by little.
