Chapter 535 The Poor Scholars Make Trouble, Launch the New Ritual Movement (Addition)

"What soldiers to call?!"

"Is it true that the majestic imperial prestige does not exist?!"

Sun Wei suddenly asked Du Ruojia loudly.

Du Ruojia stood awkwardly for a while, and then said: "Then just sit and watch them mess around?"

"Don't make a big fuss at that time. In order to give them an explanation, the imperial court has to kill us to appease public anger."

"Yes!"

"That's what's disturbing."

"But I didn't expect that those poor people were not intimidated."

At this time, Sun Cheng's tone softened, and he said with some frustration.

Then, he suddenly raised his head to look at Du Ruojia and said, "I think they are so reckless, it must be because they have the support of the New Party behind them!"

"It should be. It's not that they dare to make trouble, but someone wants them to make trouble!"

Sun Hao then added another sentence very firmly.

Afterwards, Sun Yu gave Du Ruojia another decree, saying:

"Moreover, the Privy Council has issued a decree that the soldiers of the governors' standard battalions are not allowed to move without authorization, and the soldiers of the capital's guards are also not allowed to move without authorization. You must first ask for an order before you can act cheaply. Otherwise, you will be strictly controlled on the grounds of colluding with powerful rightists to influence the court's handling of the case." Dispose of them, but we are low-ranking officials after all, so there is no need to offend the imperial court for them, so it can be seen that the upper levels are eager to make chaos below."

Du Ruojia frowned after reading the Jun decree: "This is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight! But we are caught in the middle, so it's awkward."

"I should resign directly! Don't wait for the court to deal with it!"

"In order not to be angry at both ends in the future."

As soon as Sun Cheng said that, he took off the black hat.

But at this time, his slave came to report that the former Huguang student Tan Deqin came to pay homage.

Sun Cheng had no choice but to order someone to invite him in.

As soon as Tan Deqin came in, he said to Sun Yu in a panic: "Fuyuan, there is already chaos outside!"

"Many students don't go to school and don't talk about it. They even go to the brothel and drag their classmates out to criticize them, saying that they have bad customs and bad style of study!"

"Even the scholars who still bind the feet of their wives, concubines and daughters were picked out and criticized by them, saying that they resisted the edict and ignored the new rituals!"

"What's more, a large number of students have called on many ordinary people in the market to launch a mighty new ritual movement, to get rid of the old bad habits. Some slaves of rich households wore silk and were directly beaten by them. Said it was against etiquette;"

"In addition, the sons and daughters of officials who passed the examination were invited out to question their knowledge; so that many official families were restless all day long."

"There was even a large-scale fighting."

"Since you are Fuyuan, how can you not suppress it with troops?"

"You don't need to come to me again for this matter, I have already hung up my crown and resigned."

After Sun Cheng said that, he said, "See off the guests!"

And at this time, there are indeed more and more movements outside.

As mentioned before, the old and new local conflicts brought about by the reform have already become more intense, so it is impossible for there to be no conflicts.

The old party dared to slaughter, and the new party dared to make trouble.

"How can you win the exam like this! Take him to the Gongyuan and ask Min Shouzheng!"

At this time.

The new imperial examiner Gong Dingxiao, who was drinking flowers and wine to celebrate at the Qinhuai River, was stopped by the humble scholars and questioned him so much that he couldn't even recite the "Four Books". Ask Min Shouzheng.

Gong Dingxiao is also not afraid of things. Seeing this, he was furious: "You are presumptuous! Hit me!"

So, Gong Dingxiao's slaves called.

"People from Gong Shilang's family have made a move, beat me up!"

Ge Zisheng, who came after him, yelled, and went up and kicked the servants of the Gong family first. Seeing this, the other students couldn't help but boldly followed, and swarmed and beat the servants of the Gong family.

Seeing this, Gong Dingxiao himself became a little scared, and hurriedly sneaked out, but was stopped by Jin Yiwei outside:

"Since you don't want to tell them why you won the exam, tell us, Jin Yiwei."

Gong Dingxiao's mind went blank immediately.

……

"What is domineering, this is domineering!"

"In order to monopolize the way of advancement, those officials and powerful officials did not hesitate to kill us common people's children! Don't you think this is overbearing?!"

"Fellow folks, there must be many children among you who are starting to study, so you are willing to spend a lot of silver dollars for him, and you are willing that after ten years of hard study, it is not because you are not hardworking or good enough that you cannot get a job? If If you don’t want to, let’s go together and denounce the dog official Min Shouzheng who refuses to admit his fraud!”

At this time, Lou Yi was also calling on the passing people at the ferry, causing many people to get off the boat and come over: "We are willing to go!"

A weaver even came up and said, "I'll call my fellow workers to come with me!"

"Gentleman 76, why did this happen just like this? The story has to start with the fire in the Chen family."

The storyteller even watched Li Zhi put silver dollars in front of him while speaking loudly from the newly compiled script.

Gu Xiancheng, who came to Nandu, was also listening to such storytelling content, and asked Zhang Jing and Yang Yingkui who were traveling with him with displeasure:

"The two of you have been in Nandu all this time, do you know who instigated these things?"

"You don't have to ask, it must be the new party, and the title of gentleman is also used on those poor people who were killed."

"Now, do we have to write a eulogy to express our remembrance?"

Yang Yingkui asked after speaking.

Gu Xiancheng suddenly said with a sullen face: "Then it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, lest you be forced to express your opinion."

"Mr. Donglin!"

But as soon as Gu Xiancheng finished speaking, a scholar Fang Yuying walked over after Zhang Jing gave him a look, and called him.

Gu Xiancheng had to stop and smiled, "What's the matter with this friend?"

"I've heard of Mr. Donglin's name for a long time, so Mr. Donglin must have come here for the matter of 76 gentlemen?"

Fang Yuying asked.

Gu Xiancheng saw that Fang Yuying was followed by many scholars, and thought that these humble scholars were also scholars. Although he wanted to hope that the scholars who were born as officials' children were dignified, he couldn't be clear about the ranks of the scholars, so he had to Nodding and laughing, said:

"Exactly! Gu felt deeply saddened by the matter of the 76 gentleman, so he came to Nandu to express his condolences."

Gu Xiancheng pretended to choke up as he spoke.

"This matter is all related to Min Shouzheng, Sun Yu, etc. It is these dog officials who have harmed 76 gentlemen!"

Fang Yuying said something, and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Donglin has many old friends in the court. I also ask Mr. Donglin to write a letter to uphold justice for the 76 gentlemen."

"sure."

Gu Xiancheng replied.

Fang Yuying took out another book and said: "We are still planning to jointly inform the Holy Majesty about this matter. I wonder if Mr. Dong Lin would like to sign it together so that His Majesty can know about it?"

Gu Xiancheng had no choice but to nod: "Okay, that's exactly what I mean!"

"Mr. Donglin, how can you do this?"

And just after Gu Xiancheng signed his name and left here, the scholar Ye Maoren who was with Gu Xiancheng asked him with a sullen face at this moment.

"Didn't you criticize Xuegan, but why did you sign to support Xuegan? Do you also think that the New Party Xuegan is right to do this? Do you also think that those who have failed in the ranks should not be killed? Do you also want to kill the Jiangnan officials behind the scenes? Are you going to pull them all out and criticize them?"

"I!"

Gu Xiancheng was quite embarrassed for a moment.
