Chapter 484: Now, Kneel down for the Pavilion Elder!
Just as those officials were excited, intending to break through the obstruction of these forbidden troops, Xu Jie's rather flat voice sounded.
"What are you doing here, trying to rebel?"
When those speech officials followed the prestige, they saw that the five cabinet elders were all present, and in an instant, the original indomitable momentum of those speech officials collapsed like a deflated balloon in an instant.
After all, these five people in front of them are based on the pinnacle of civil power, and their policy ideas can affect hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty from all aspects.
The commander of the forbidden army saw that all five members of the cabinet had arrived, as if he had found the backbone, and hurriedly came to Xu Jie and the others to tell everything about the matter.
"Elder Ge, here's how it ......"
When Xu Jie heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and then glanced at those officials quite arrogantly, and coldly ordered: "It's okay, you just need to do your duty, if something happens, I, Xu Jie, will take care of it alone!" β
With the assurance of Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, the commander of the forbidden army suddenly had confidence, and immediately returned to his original position, and those forbidden soldiers looked at the expressions of these officials, and they no longer flinched.
Suddenly, those speech officials looked at Xu Jie with eyes that wanted to choose people, just when one of the speech officials wanted to stand up and angrily reprimand Xu Jie's behavior.
I saw Xu Jie stretch out his hand, pointed at the official, and commanded quite casually.
"That person's eyes, the elder of this pavilion doesn't like it very much, you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, Elder Xu Ge!"
The previous commander of the forbidden army naturally heard the meaning contained in Xu Jie's words, and immediately ordered his subordinates to step forward and control the official alone.
The official who was controlled by the forbidden army seemed to be quite unconvinced by this, and he couldn't stop struggling: "Our trip is to ask for the lives of the world's scholars, what are your intentions in stopping us?" β
"You insects, what are you going to do, let go of the new righteous brother!"
"yes, let him go, what the hell are you going to do?"
Seeing that their companions were arrested, the remaining officials were immediately excited, and even began to push the forbidden troops who were responsible for maintaining order.
Seeing this, Xu Jie's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, stop it for the old man of the pavilion, if you dare to mess around again, don't blame the old man of the pavilion for being polite!"
The momentum exuded by Xu Jie's body instantly shocked those speech officials, making them dare not make other moves, but despite this, those speech officials were also full of resentment in their eyes when they looked at Xu Jie.
Seeing that he had fallen into a disadvantage, Hu Yingjia immediately stood up and wanted to save the situation.
"Elder Xu Ge, you are ......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Xu Jie.
"The elder of this pavilion has no intention of talking nonsense with you now, Hu Yingjia, have you really decided to go against the elder of this pavilion?"
"If you know each other, just take these people away quickly, and the elder of this pavilion can still act as if nothing happened, otherwise ......"
Xu Jie didn't finish the rest of the words, because he knew that Hu Yingjia understood what he meant.
Seeing that Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, was so unabashedly threatening in public, Hu Yingjia subconsciously turned his gaze to Yan Song and others on the side.
Who didn't know that Yan Song and Xu Jie were mortal enemies, and they couldn't wait to get rid of each other as soon as possible, and because of this, Hu Yingjia had the intention of asking Yan Song for help.
"Yan ...... Yan Ge old ......"
When Yan Song heard this, he just glanced at Hu Yingjia indifferently and said coldly.
"The meaning of this pavilion elder is the same as that of Xu Gelao, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the side and stopped talking.
Things have developed to this point, how could Hu Yingjia not know that the five members of the cabinet had already passed their anger in private before this, and it was mainly Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, who came forward to deal with him.
Seeing that the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet were standing on the same front, Hu Yingjia's heart couldn't help but retreat.
Although the official is powerful, no matter how good it is, he can't compete with the cabinet chief assistant and the cabinet deputy assistant who have many party henchmen and power in the government and the opposition!
Just when Hu Yingjia planned to give in to this, take people away with dignity, and then think about it in the long run.
I saw that the official who had been controlled by the forbidden army suddenly burst out, used all his strength to break free from the restraints, and rushed towards the forbidden army on the side when the forbidden army next to him did not react.
"Today, I, Wang Xinyi, will use my life to set an example for the world's scholars!"
Seeing this, the forbidden soldier panicked, and subconsciously pulled out his blade from his waist to respond.
Immediately, I heard a 'poof' sound, and the sharp blade pierced into the flesh.
In an instant, the red blood flowed out along the blade, and the official named Wang Xinyi looked at the blade pierced into his body incredulously, and blood also flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then his head tilted, and he fell to the ground, completely out of breath.
Soon, an indescribable smell of blood filled the air.
Suddenly, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, especially the forbidden soldier with the blade in hand, at this moment, I saw his face pale, trembling at his blood-stained hand.
"It's over, it's a big deal, not only in the Forbidden City, but also in the Forbidden City, there are also people who die in it!"
After this, the previous commander of the forbidden army was the first to react, only to see him rush in front of the forbidden army and reprimand.
"Who told you to pull out your weapon?"
The janissary had not yet recovered from the previous onslaught, so he had to respond incoherently, "Yes...... He took the initiative to rush at me, and I ...... I just ......"
Seeing that his colleague was killed, those officials also became extremely excited, and saw that he desperately broke through the barrier of the forbidden army, came to the colleague who had died of anger, and lifted his body that had fallen in a pool of blood, tearing his heart and lungs.
"Quick, go and call the Imperial Doctor!"
After a while, I saw a speech official pluck up his courage, test his snort with trembling fingers, and then tremble his body and said in a deep voice.
"New ...... The new righteous brother is dead, and he has no breath! β
When the remaining officials heard this, they suddenly felt a sense of sadness in their hearts, and their eyes were full of resentment when they looked at those forbidden soldiers.
And Xu Jie and the others on the side, after smelling the smell of blood in the air, couldn't help frowning, but unlike the others, the expressions on their faces did not change much from beginning to end.
When Xu Jie saw this, he couldn't help but flash a trace of happiness in his heart: "Hmph, it's really innocent!" β
Seeing that Xu Jie and the others were indifferent to this, they saw Hu Yingjia forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and said in a deep voice.
"Elder Xu Ge, are you satisfied now?"
When Xu Jie heard this, he glanced at Hu Yingjia arrogantly, and said unhurriedly.
"Hmph, it's just a speech official, if you die, you'll die, what's the big deal?"
"Everyone present saw it, it was he who hit it himself, to be honest, Benge has lived for so many years, and he has never seen such a stupid person!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jie ignored Hu Yingjia's gaze that was about to breathe fire, changed his words, and said to himself.
"Also, Hu Yingjia, who gave you the courage to talk to the elder of the pavilion like this, is it possible, didn't your boss teach you the relevant etiquette, do you need to call the elder of the pavilion over and confirm it with you in person?"
"What you should do now is to kneel down for the elder of this pavilion, and then respectfully admit your mistake, understand?"
When Xu Jie's words fell, not only Hu Yingjia, but even the officials behind him were surprisingly angry.
As literati, they couldn't bear Xu Jie's naked insult, not to mention that their colleagues who got along day and night died in front of them, and Xu Jie, as the culprit, not only did not say anything, but also clapped his hands on the side.
At this moment, they are driven not only by anger, but also by the sadness of the dead fox, and they feel that they need to stand up and do something, even if it is just a trivial matter.
Under the support of this emotion, the officials behind Hu Yingjia immediately looked at Xu Jie with a look that was eager to eat his flesh and die of his skin.
And Xu Jie turned a blind eye to these eyes, a cold smile appeared on his face, he withdrew his gaze, and said in a deep voice.
"The old eunuch of this pavilion has been up and down for so many years, can it be said that I am still afraid of you unworthy officials?"
"Hmph, you take the court's money, you don't think about how to serve Your Majesty, but you go against the court everywhere, in addition, you dare to claim that you are asking for the life of the world's scholars!"
Xu Jie paused for a moment when he said this, and only after looking around did he speak.
"The elder of this pavilion wants to ask you, are you worthy?"
Xu Jie's words fell, and even though there was a hot-tempered official who wanted to stand up and refute, he was persuaded back by Hu Yingjia's eyes.
Seeing that those officials did not respond to this, Xu Jie continued.
"Hmph, people like you, this pavilion has seen too much, talking about it on weekdays, and it is useless when it really needs to do something, if it is really according to what you say, will my Ming Dynasty still have the current good situation?"
"You are a group of insects who eat the monarch and do not think about the king's worries, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are on the shoulders of our cabinet, not you!"
"You are just a group of rice worms who can only talk about it and live on the court's fortunes, as a rice worm, you should have the consciousness of rice worms, the court spends money to support you, but it just wants to decorate your faΓ§ade, who do you think you are?"
"National affairs, it's far from your turn to interfere!"
Yan Song, who was on the side, saw Xu Jie's use of the title of rice worm to describe these officials, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"Well done, Xu Jie, scold them for me!"
But despite this, on the bright side, Yan Song still stood up and started a round.
"Ahem, Brother Zisheng, pay attention to etiquette!"
How could Xu Jie not see that Yan Song wanted to deliberately arch the fire, intending to make the whole thing a big deal, but this was exactly what Xu Jie expected, because only in this way could he seek a glimmer of life.
As for the retaliation that those officials may have next, Xu Jie didn't care, because he only needed to curry favor with the emperor wholeheartedly, after all, you can't bring down the people the emperor wants to use, and you can't protect the people the emperor wants to fall!
Immediately afterwards, perhaps Xu Jie's patience had run out, and he turned his gaze to Hu Yingjia and gave an ultimatum.
"The elder of this pavilion counts down to five times, if you don't leave, the elder of this pavilion will really be unkind!"
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he glanced at the commander of the forbidden army next to him, and the latter quickly understood and put on an open expression, and the forbidden army behind him was also all waiting for him.
After all, if this group of speech officials really disturbs His Majesty, as the first forbidden army to arrive, they will definitely be to blame, since there are Xu Jie and Xu Ge Lao on the scene to support everyone, it is better to give it a go!
On the other hand, the previous officials relied on their identities to speak ill and insult these forbidden troops, and their appearance of being high up and having no one in their eyes made these forbidden soldiers quite resentful.
Those high-ranking cabinet elders are very amiable on weekdays, and there is no slightest shelf on their bodies, why do you just speak from the seventh grade, and the tail is like a to the sky, which is also looked down upon, and that is not looked down upon, why do you look down?
Xu Jie's voice fell, and soon a speaker stood up and expressed his determination in front of everyone present.
"Hmph, Xu Jie, you won't think that we are afraid of you, even if we die here today, our heroic deeds will be recorded in the history books in the future, and you Xu Jie, will be stinking for 10,000 years and will be scolded by future generations!"
"Yes, don't be afraid, in the future, the history books will record Xu Jie's various acts of blocking the way of speech and framing Zhongliang!"
And Xu Jie turned a blind eye to this, and just began to count down on his own.
"Five... Four... Three..."
In Hu Yingjia's view, Xu Jie's voice is a naked talisman, and now, he has completely lost in terms of momentum, from beginning to end, Xu Jie did not give himself a chance to speak, which made Hu Yingjia have an indescribable sense of grievance.
It's just that he didn't let anger affect his judgment, and he knew very well in his heart that if he continued to stalemate on the scene, not only would he not get the slightest benefit, but it was also very likely that the incident would further escalate, and if his majesty was angered, then the matter would be troublesome!
Soon, Hu Yingjia made a decision in his mind, and when Xu Jie's first thought of one, he saw him stand up and ask Xu Jie.
"Elder Xu Ge, let's leave now!"
Xu Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Hu Yingjia finally relented, nodded imperceptibly, and immediately ordered.
"In that case, then you should leave with these people quickly!"
Seeing that the leader who was supposed to lead himself to start an out-and-out struggle with the insects of the imperial court, but in front of everyone, he gave in to Xu Jie, this matter was extremely shocking to those officials, and there seemed to be something in their hearts that was broken forever!
Not surprisingly, the remaining officials were quite resistant to Hu Yingjia's decision.
"Hmph, Master Hu, if we don't leave, we vow to fight to the end!"
"Yes, we want to seek justice for the world's scholars!"
"If even we retreat, who else can stand up and speak up for the world's readers!"
