Chapter 340 The traitor to the country is myself

"It has been more than 130 years since the founding of this dynasty. Today, we have been diligent in government, caring for the people, and working hard to govern. The prosperous age of our Ming Dynasty has arrived! However, there are traitors in the government who deceive the king and father, and cholera affects the country!"

"Scholarship, agriculture, industry and commerce are the foundation of the country, how can we tamper with them without permission? I, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, even made the ancestral law for this purpose. Now the treacherous and flattering people are trying to disrupt my ancestral law. They are actually traitors to the country!"

"Businessmen are all scheming and cunning people who abandon their righteousness for the sake of profit. However, there are people in the court who deceive the king and father, favor merchants, and attempt to cholera the Ming Dynasty. Their intentions are terrible, and they should be punished!"

"In all these cases, students and others dare not discuss state affairs arbitrarily, but they are related to our Ming Dynasty and the country, which are the foundation of the righteousness of the world. We are here to invite you to see your majesty and express our concerns!"

"."

Under the Dong'an Gate Tower, the righteous and awe-inspiring voices can be heard endlessly, echoing in front of the Dong'an Gate, making everyone who hears them unable to help but stand in awe.

Xia Yuan happened to hear these shouts when he rushed to Dong'an Gate. Taking advantage of the convenience of riding a horse, he passed over the onlookers and looked downstairs of Dong'an Gate. Hundreds of guards surrounded two to three hundred people.

student.

What kind of rebellion is this? It can be considered a student movement at most.

Cholera has deceived the emperor and his father. When did such a national traitor appear in the court?

After all, he was also a fourth-rank official in the court, so he had no idea about this matter.

It's really scary that this national traitor can hide so deeply!

But after hearing this, Xia Yuan understood that the national thief was actually myself.

You guys, these people are amusing their brains by reading, right?

Zhu Houzhao next to him smacked his lips and said, "Master, I listen, why do these people who call you a national traitor seem to be talking about you?"

"You bullshit national thief, this is a rebellion. You criticize the imperial officials, slander the pillars of the imperial court, have no moral code, disregard national laws, and the imperial court doesn't care about it?"

Zhu Houzhao persuaded him kindly: "There should be someone in charge. Look, the city gates are all open."

At this time, the closed city gate of Dong'an Gate slowly opened, and thousands of armored guards swarmed out from the gate, surrounding more than two hundred scholars.

The people who were watching the excitement around them suddenly became silent when they saw such guards pouring out. However, they still opened their eyes wide and watched intently, wanting to see how this matter would end.

Among the thousands of guards, the leader is a young general wearing fine lin armor and a wild goose feather sword on his waist. Zhang Ming, the commander of Jinwu's left guard, is the son of the British Duke Zhang Mao.

He walked closer step by step and looked at the two or three hundred scholars with great interest. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, outlining a touch of disdain and contempt.

Soon, this contempt and disdain disappeared again, and Zhang Ming's eyes stayed on the person who was obviously the leader.

"What is your name?"

The tone was very casual, as if he had gone to a foot-washing city, resting his arm on his hand, and asked casually, how old are you, my dear?

"." Zhou Licheng tilted his head and replied disdainfully. As a scholar and a student of the Imperial College, although he didn't know the identity of the imperial guard general in front of him, it didn't matter.

It's just a smelly Qiuba.

Then he walked around this smelly Qiuba and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, "Zhou Licheng, a student of the Imperial College, heard that Your Majesty has been deceived by an adulterer. The student feels deeply that the country is in danger. Now, together with many loyal people, I would like to see Your Majesty!"

The words "Please see Your Majesty" echoed in front of Dong'an Gate. Zhang Ming looked at the other two hundred or so scholars, "He wants to see Your Majesty, and you also want to see Your Majesty?"

"Yes, the state owns a traitor, and I'm here to invite you to see him!"

After the impassioned speech just now, everyone blushed and had thick necks. When they heard the question, they even stiffened their necks and answered loudly.

However, Zhang Ming smiled and praised sincerely: "I admire you for your talent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his whole face suddenly sank, and he pressed forward with his palms, "Come on, take down all these hundreds of crazy people who have gathered to make trouble!"

Following his order, the clanging sound could not be heard, and the surrounding Jinwu Guards officers and soldiers all drew their swords.

There was a sound of iron armor, and thousands of embroidered spring knives were unsheathed, and the steel blades that were hammered and forged were glowing with a cold light, reflecting on the faces of those scholars.

The situation suddenly changed, and the atmosphere that had been peaceful just now suddenly became tense.

Zhang Ming almost laughed out loud in his heart.

He had been on the battlefield several times and had been promoted through many meritorious deeds. He served as the commander of Jinwu's right guard, which sounds like a great title. He was a forbidden army of the imperial city and the emperor's personal guard. However, there were twenty-six guards like this in the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Jin Wuwei is the one who guards the east gate of the imperial city. In such a peaceful year, he will not encounter any palace coup at all, and he will not be able to accumulate even an inch of merit in his whole life.

Zhang Ming had long put aside the idea of ​​accumulating merit and being transferred elsewhere, and had already accepted the fact of being a gatekeeper general.

But he really didn't expect that someone would rush up to deliver his performance. It was like sitting at home, and the merit came from heaven.

Please see, Your Majesty, the country has never encountered this twice in more than 100 years since its founding. Although I don't know how to convict someone, there is no way to escape the crime of gathering a crowd to cause trouble.

It is absolutely correct to convict people on the basis of gathering a crowd to cause trouble.

Zhang Ming looked at the more than two hundred soldiers and scholars, and inexplicably remembered a poem, reading the sword while drunk, and dreaming of blowing the trumpet company, thirty years of fame and fame, and eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.

He was a warrior and couldn't remember whether it was carried like this. In short, he felt like he was returning to the battlefield in a dream. Seeing these people, it was like seeing the heads of each one representing military merit.

With so many people, how much military merit should they have?

At the outermost edge of the crowd, the onlookers saw thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers wielding their knives. At this moment, they finally panicked. They were just like the people of later generations who gathered around the roadside to watch the fun, but saw the army, and then the army invited

A distinguished Gatling Bodhisattva emerged.

Even if it is not directed at oneself, it still makes people panic. After the death of the late Emperor Chenghua, the Hongzhi Dynasty did not say that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but the so-called military disaster only happened on the border, in the southwestern barbarians and other controlled countries.

land.

Living in the capital, when have I ever seen the Imperial Guards sacrifice their butcher's knives at the foot of the imperial city?

So no one dared to watch the excitement, and the crowd all fled in all directions, fearing to get into trouble, and hid as far away as possible.

I mourned in my heart for this group of scholars. Each and every scholar was simply out of his mind. They came to the imperial city and shouted that the birthday man had hanged himself. They simply didn't know whether to live or die.

The hundreds of soldiers and scholars who were the first to bear the brunt were trembling in their hearts when they saw the embroidered spring knives being revealed, and then when they saw the imperial troops carrying butcher knives gradually surrounding them.

Just now, they were blushing and neck-thick with passionate words, but now, many people's psychological defenses have been defeated, their courage has been broken, their calves have begun to tremble uncontrollably, and their shoulders have shrunk.

The country and the country have been thrown out of the sky a long time ago.

Some were so timid that their faces turned pale and they almost peed their pants. They knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, fearing that the butcher's knife would cut them down.

The leader, Zhou Licheng, was also very frightened, but he still bit the tip of his tongue and shouted with anger: "Do you still dare to massacre the scholars and students in broad daylight?"

Such a label was slapped on, for the sake of performance, Zhang Ming was not angry, and just said: "Don't talk nonsense, who said that I want to massacre you and others, I am just taking you and other crazy people to judge the crime.

"

"We are the sons and daughters of famous scholars, and today we are here for the country and the country! What crime have we committed!"

"It is a sin to gather a crowd to cause trouble."

"Why do we gather together to make trouble? We are worried about our country and our country. Is it a sin to worry about our country and our country?"
