This house also collapsed under the influence of the earthquake.
In the courtyard, there were many people sitting, including gray-haired old people, middle-aged people, and even young people. There were many people. One of them was the first to speak: "Li Zhen supported Xin Gong to ascend the throne, and it happened immediately. Things like the earthquake are clearly a sign from God and a punishment for Li Zhen's reckless advice in Japan. I think this is our opportunity."
"Li Zhen is difficult to deal with. Don't you remember what happened in the hall that day? Anyone who opposed Li Zhen was shot. I think we should adopt appropriate strategies to force Li Zhen to return power. But , we should try our best to use mild means. Once the means are too drastic, it will cause a strong backlash from Li Zhen, which is not good for us. Moreover, the earthquake in Kyoto Prefecture has affected the people. At this juncture, if we still want to be tough, We will definitely be the ones affected in the end."
"Hmph, will this be useful? It has to make Li Zhen afraid."
People in the courtyard were chattering and discussing constantly, deciding on the next strategy.
…
Li Zhen lived in the palace and continued to provide help to the people affected by the disaster in Kyoto Prefecture. With Zhao Liewen in charge of supplying food, Zuo Zongtang leading the army to rescue, and Zeng Guofan leading troops to guard, everything went on in an orderly manner and went very smoothly. .
On the sixth day of July, Zhao Liewen came to the palace.
He bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the city and something is wrong."
"What's going on?" Li Zhen asked.
Zhao Liewen said: "Since last night, everyone in Kyoto Prefecture has been saying that the earthquake was because the princess succeeded to the throne of the emperor, and it was the princess who angered the sky, which caused the earthquake. This is a very absurd inference, but it has affected many people. Now, things have already It's spread like wildfire and many people already know about it."
Li Zhen snorted and said, "There are still some people who are not convinced."
Zhao Liewen smiled helplessly and continued: "After the news of the earthquake and the princess's succession spread, through the instigation of thoughtful people, many people gathered, and even some young people began to gather. If this matter continues to evolve, it will definitely become a riot. I have asked Sakamoto Yoshihiro's Black Dragon Club to investigate, but I haven't received any news yet, so I can only wait."
Li Zhen tapped the table lightly with his right hand and suddenly smiled.
He said without any concern: "Notify Zeng Guofan's army to be on alert. Anyone who provokes the army will be killed. As for the Japanese who have gathered, don't stop them for the time being. Hum, if they dare to come, I will send troops to suppress them. Look, Whose person is powerful?" After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "It is right to let Sakamoto Kayang investigate the matter. We must find out who instigated it."
"clear."
Zhao Liewen turned around and left, already feeling that a storm was coming.
This time, Japan may be going through a major purge.
…
With the passage of time, the people gradually came out of the shadow of the earthquake and began to rebuild after the disaster. However, the matter about Shinnomiya's succession to the throne of emperor that angered the sky has been spread to everyone. In private, the people gathered More and more, countless people were incited, and a wave of anger began to form. They all pointed at Xin Gong, trying to force Xin Gong to abdicate, and completely forgot who was helping them with disaster relief.
On this day, the eighth day of July, the sky was overcast, with dark clouds in clusters, and it felt like the black clouds were pressing down on the city.
Countless people walked out of their homes and gathered on the streets.
The leader held up a banner and led everyone towards the palace.
"Li Zhen left Japan and Heart Palace abdicated."
The person standing at the front was the first to shout.
This man was the leader among all the people. As soon as he shouted, countless people immediately echoed loudly. All the people were agitated. They all believed that Shinnomiya was not the emperor and wanted to overthrow Shinnomiya. They kept trying. They were yelling and shouting constantly, like they were marching.
This news reached the palace in the shortest possible time.
When Li Zhen received the news, he immediately summoned Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang.
Zuo Zongtang bowed slightly and saluted, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Japanese are like white-eyed wolves who have not been raised well. No matter how they are fed, they have a heart of stone. During this earthquake, we opened a warehouse to distribute food and relieve the people. I don't know how much. The people have survived because of our help. Now these people want to take action against you for no good reason. I think that these people should not be taken into consideration. Troops should be mobilized to suppress them, a large-scale attack should be carried out, and machine guns should be used. "
A look of intolerance appeared on Zeng Guofan's face, but he said nothing.
He had already received information about this matter through Zhao Liewen and did not stand up to dissuade him.
The people of little Japan are looking for death, no one else is to blame.
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally said: "It is allowed to use machine guns to fire, and even hand grenades if necessary. However, I hope to focus on persuading the people at the beginning. After all, I don't want to shed blood in Japan."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."
Zuo Zongtang smiled and immediately went down to prepare.
Outside the palace gate, Zuo Zongtang had already led his troops to set up a cordon, and also prepared to resist the horses, allowing the soldiers to guard and prevent the Japanese people from attacking. It didn't take long, and the incited people had already approached the outside of the palace.
"Li Zhen left Japan and Heart Palace abdicated."
Loud shouts came out one after another, especially as they got closer to the palace gate, the people shouting seemed to become more and more excited, and their roars shook the sky. At this time, Li Zhen had also arrived on the city tower. He looked at the dense crowd of people outside the city, With a sullen face, he felt very uncomfortable. The people who he had vigorously provided relief would come to make trouble. How ironic it was, especially when the people arrived at the place where the horse was deployed, they were not satisfied and actually wanted to destroy the wooden horse and move forward. rush.
"Brothers, let's hit them with eggs, throw things, and kill them."
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the crowd.
This sentence inspired countless people, but they saw that Japanese people took out eggs, vegetables and other things and quickly threw them out. Some eggs hit the soldiers and broke immediately, and the yolks and egg whites flowed out. There were heavy marks on the clothes, and the soldiers on guard warned repeatedly, but the people were still disobedient and rushed forward fearlessly. The guarding soldiers reminded again, but to no avail. In the end, they decisively retreated ten meters and set up The machine gun is aimed at the people who are using it.
"shot."
With a loud shout, I suddenly remembered.
"Thud, tug, tug,,."
Dense bullets were fired from the machine guns, shooting into the crowd like lightning, and the sound of popping was heard. Every citizen fell in a pool of blood, unable to get up again.
