Chapter 1410 In the name of protecting His Majesty
"A lot of strange things suddenly appeared on the notice wall today. Did you all see it?"
"It's not just on the notice wall, it's everywhere on the streets and alleys."
"What is written on it?"
"Haven't you even looked at it? The things inside are really unimaginable."
"The content posted above said that our Qixian County is wrong. Most of the officials in Qizhou were involved in the Qizhou riot."
"The Qizhou riot was actually something that these officials actively planned, in order to force the emperor to come to Qizhou."
"Forcing the emperor to come to Qizhou? For what reason?"
"According to what was posted, it seems that they are planning to attack His Majesty the Emperor."
"Are they crazy to attack His Majesty the Emperor?"
"That's regicide, it's to destroy the nine tribes."
"To destroy the nine tribes, they planned the Qizhou riot. This is already the destruction of the nine tribes."
"I really didn't expect that these Qizhou officials were so courageous. They dared to attack the emperor and plan the people to launch a riot."
"The content of the letter seems to be written to Ma Zhiqing, the former captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Qizhou. However, a few months ago, Ma Zhiqing seemed to have suddenly fled Qizhou."
"Some time ago I heard that Ma Zhiqing's body was found in Ninggu County."
"I guess he was killed by these officials in Qizhou."
"If you dare to take action against the emperor and plan a riot among the people, how can we just sit back and watch?"
"We will go to the Qizhou Governor's Mansion now and ask those people for an explanation."
The next morning, the contents of Ma Zhiqing's secret letters were posted in the alleys of Qixian County.
The people were shocked by the sudden news.
Although the Qizhou riot had little impact on them, what they did not expect was that it was planned by Qizhou officials.
The purpose was to trick the emperor into coming to Qizhou.
Such a bold and lawless act was clearly intended to drag them, the people of Qizhou, into the abyss.
Once something happens to the emperor in Qizhou, the common people like them will not end well.
For their current plan, they had no choice but to question the officials of the Qizhou Dudu Mansion.
If possible, they must first ensure the emperor's safety.
This is to ensure their own safety.
A large number of people came from all directions towards the Qizhou Governor's Mansion.
The government officials in Qixian County simply had no way to stop so many people.
When the governor of Zhechong Prefecture heard about this incident, he hurriedly came to report it to Lu Yi.
"My lord, something is wrong. Something happened outside." Lu Yifa, the capital of Zhechong Mansion, shouted.
Lu Yi found that he had heard about what was going on outside.
Thinking that I had told Ma Zhiyuan about this incident yesterday, it had already happened today.
Lu Yifa felt extremely helpless.
If Ma Zhiyuan had listened to his own advice and destroyed all Ma Zhiqing's things in advance, such a thing would not have happened today.
Their secret message was actually spread throughout Qi County, and all the people in Qi County knew about it.
What should they do now? Go and kill all these people.
"Captain Ma, what are you going to do now?" Lu Yi asked Ma Zhiyuan in front of him, with an extremely ugly look on his face.
Things have reached an extremely critical moment, and they need to find a way now.
Either suppress these troublemaking people, or advance their actions as planned.
But now, neither of the two things is easy to handle.
The emperor would definitely not allow it to suppress the people. If they followed the emperor's wishes, they would have to give an explanation to the emperor and the people.
If they directly captured the emperor without suppressing the people, they would not know what was going on in Chang'an.
Now they seem to have entered a desperate situation.
There is no escape route for them around.
"It must be Zhao Chen. He stole Ma Zhiqing's secret letter from us in the first place."
"It's just that I didn't expect that he would choose to make this secret message public at this time."
"The plan for now is to inform Chang'an of the situation here as soon as possible."
"Then we dispersed the people here and surrounded the entire Governor's Mansion in the name of protecting His Majesty."
"Make sure no one can escape."
"If the people in the city refuse to listen to dissuasion and just beat them out with sticks, they must be allowed to suppress them."
"And we need to guard against Zhechong Mansion in Huangzhou and Taizhou."
"I'm worried that they will send troops to rescue the emperor." Ma Zhiyuan made this decision with Lu Yifa with a cold face.
Lu Yifa said nothing. Now, Ma Zhiyuan's decision seems to be the best way.
They have no way out and can only move forward step by step. Even if there is a cliff ahead of them and they fall to their death, they have to keep moving forward.
"Did Captain Huang hear it clearly?" Ma Zhiyuan asked the Governor of Zhechong Mansion beside him.
"I heard you clearly." Captain Zhe Chong nodded, but there was a look of worry on his face.
"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. As long as we handle these things well and wait for news from Chang'an, the 500 people from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army will definitely not be our opponents."
"Of course, if we can't handle these little things well, then we don't have to think about other things." Ma Zhiyuan said to the governor of Zhe Chong Mansion.
Captain Zhe Chong nodded and left quickly.
"Lu Changshi, what else do you have in mind now?" Ma Zhiyuan looked at Lu Yifa again.
What can Lu Yifa have in mind? Now that the situation is like this, they can only do it according to what Ma Zhiyuan said.
…
The gate of Qizhou Dudu's Mansion was surrounded by people from Qi County who came from all directions.
At the door, Zhechong Mansion soldiers and Qixian County officials stopped them one after another.
They were pushed and pushed by the people of Qixian County, and things like rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at them in the crowd.
But no one dared to rush out and deal with these people.
They didn't get the order, so naturally they didn't dare.
"Captain Ma has an order. You gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion to cause trouble. It is a heinous crime. If you don't leave, we will carry out military duties." Lieutenant Zhechong Mansion came out and scolded everyone.
But this obviously did not scare the people of Qixian County.
"We want to see Governor Ma and ask him face to face why he did this."
"Planning a riot in Qizhou and forcing Your Majesty to come to Qixian County. What exactly did you do?"
"Is it really like what the letter said, that they want to deal with His Majesty the Emperor?" Some people shouted in the crowd.
The governor of Zhechong Mansion looked coldly at the crowd in front and shouted:
"How could you believe the contents of a letter? That letter is fake. They are just trying to frame all our officials in Qizhou."
"His Majesty the Emperor lives in our Governor's Mansion. Who dares to regicide? Who has such courage."
"We are arresting the murderer now, so please leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind."
As soon as the governor of Zhechong Mansion finished speaking, all the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion under his command drew their weapons one after another.
He stared at the people gathered in front of him with eager eyes.
"What do you want to do? Do you still dare to kill us?"
"His Majesty the Emperor is in your Dudu Mansion. If you dare to kill us, let me see how you will explain to His Majesty the Emperor."
The angry voices of the people could be heard from the crowd.
The governor of Zhechong Mansion had a cold face. At this moment, he suddenly felt at a loss.
