Xun You first reacted, and the other three people did not react very slowly, and realized that this was the emperor's conspiracy.

They were shocked and wanted to explain, but soon found that this matter could not be explained.

The marriage with the emperor was a hot topic before, and everyone in the world knew it, and they all knew that they had made great benefits by working with the emperor.

It is natural to take it further now.

explain?

They have been regarded as traitors by the scholars. If they want to explain that they have committed crimes against the emperor, wouldn’t they be unpleasant?

The military nobles and bureaucratic groups were already unhappy. If they wanted to offend the emperor, the scholars would not tear them away, and the emperor would eat them.

Even if the emperor fails and is forced to compromise, it will be easy to deal with them.

All the retreats were blocked, or in other words, there was no retreat since their first compromise.

With this general trend, the conflict between the emperor and the scholars has become increasingly fierce, and it has reached a point where it is either black or white, and there is no longer a gray area in the middle.

Supporting the recommendation or supporting the imperial examination is a matter of choosing one of two, and both sides cannot coexist.

The four of them felt bitter, but they couldn't say a word. Looking at the surprised eyes of their colleagues, they really felt that they couldn't say what it means to eat coptis chinensis.

It's already this point, and it's meaningless to say it.

The scholars launched an attack on their respective mansions, causing trouble and demonstration everywhere, disrupting the normal economic and living order in Luoyang, and there was a stance that the emperor would not give up without compromising.

Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan, Ma Miao and other middle and lower-level officials of the court responded the most and opposed the most, so they were in agitation.

The leaders of the people who spoke the loudest or the most active in organizing resistance were asked to take on the organization's tasks and unite with the Tai students to make things bigger, the better.

In this way, the entire Luoyang City was uneasy.

In this way, the pressure on the emperor will be extremely huge. When this incident affects the local area, the anger and resistance of the local officials will further shake the emperor's will.

Their struggle won.

It was like the way the central government and local governments connected together to force Liu Xiu to compromise.

A struggle can win two hundred years of prosperity, and it’s worth it no matter how you look at it!

So, they cheered up.

While attacking Xu Jing's home and the four major families of Kong, Yuan, Xun and Jia, they also forced some famous people and powerful officials to support them, otherwise they would be enemies, and Xu Jing and the four major families would be the end!

Before the higher-level scholars and officials left the scene, Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan, Ma Miao and other four became open leaders of the resistance, each with their own division of labor.

Wei Shen is responsible for leading the Tai students, giving them target guidance and action programs, while the other three are responsible for maintaining the protests of the organization officials.

Seeing that the scholars made things worse and more stressed, some officials and celebrities who were unwilling to express their opinions were now a little hesitant and a little shaken.

The emperor had no reaction. Xu Jing, who was helping him speak, and he and the four members of his side were besieged and could not speak.

Not only that, the scholar-in-law students further launched a strike action.

If you don’t attend classes yourself, you won’t allow other students in the Imperial College to attend classes.

Those poor children and the children of the common people who want to attend classes are occupied by them and they are not allowed to attend classes.

The poor and the children of the common people were few, so they wanted to rush in, but the number was a disadvantage. They could not defeat them and could not defeat them. They could only retreat and were anxious.

The lecturers were blocked in the lecturer's living area and could not go out. As soon as they showed up, they were asked to express their support.

The Imperial Academy Priest, Minister of the School, and Yuan Si, one of the four great masters, aroused the anger of the scholars because of the rumors and trying to persuade the scholars to go back to class. Not only was Wei Shen pointed at the nose and scolded him, but he was also splashed all over his body by a bucket of dirty water and fled in a panic.

His reputation suddenly became terrible and he was completely opposite to this scholarly struggle.

Xu Jing, the four major families, was released together to bear the anger, accusations and attacks of the scholars. He was established as a typical royal hawk, and his reputation was basically stinking.

Wei Shen and others became "scholar models" because of their fearless resistance and their "not humble or arrogant" actions in the face of imperial power, and they had a tendency to replace the four major families as the leaders of the new four major families.

Seeing that the scholars gradually had organizations, leaders and action programs in the original chaos, Emperor Guo still did not make any statement.

Time has entered September.

The protests are spreading more and more widely, and many offices have seen a large number of vacancies.

The scholars and bureaucrats who were still in office, who were hesitating and working, decided not to go to work and keep the official duties at hand, so as to increase pressure on the emperor.

The smaller the official position, the lower the status, the more straightforward it is. Those who have status and official positions are really a little cautious.

Leaders who dared not strike easily were forced to assume heavy responsibilities. Accompanied by a few poor officials and a very small number of scholars and bureaucrats who were unwilling to participate in this matter, the operation of the central government was difficult.

This group of people were busy day and night, feeling like they had entered Shura Purgatory by themselves.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. Some people cannot stand such heavy work pressure. The report asked the emperor to take into account the overall situation, respond to the call of the scholars, and restore everything to its original state, so that the government can quickly resume operations.

This is their only request.

Otherwise, if this continues, it will be very tiring and I really can't stand it.

But for this period of time, the emperor seemed to have no idea what, without saying a word or doing anything, allowing scholars to baptize the entire Luoyang public opinion field in a storm-like manner.

Chen Lin didn't say a word, the most powerful weapon the emperor used to use, and the royal literati group that usually urged the emperor did not say a word, and those licking dogs in the past did not say a word.

The scholars who had almost praised the emperor as a saint before are now pioneers in opposing this policy.

It seems that the matter that the emperor and Xu Jing have been torn apart seemingly caused His Majesty to betray his relatives.

Once the scholars encountered such strong resistance, even if they did not involve the military level, it still made the emperor very embarrassed and caught the emperor off guard.

So there is reason to believe that the emperor could not find someone willing to support him. Now he is thinking about how to end this matter decently.

After someone put forward this view, the scholars who participated in the resistance became even more excited and began to increase their efforts to siege Xu Jing and the residences of the four masters, and to strike classes and school. There were dark history of Xu Jing walking everywhere on the streets and alleys.

Now all children in Luoyang know that the reason why Xu Jing had a quarrel with his tribe Xu Shao was because Xu Jing had an affair with his concubine and had a very bloody thing.

There are also some dark history that each represents the four majors, which are unknown to the authenticity of the people, and some [romance and affair] of their children.

The people of Luoyang are not sure about this, and they have regarded this matter as a joke in their daily life, which has become a happy moment in their spare time.

But in this atmosphere, there is also an inexplicable worry for some people.

The emperor is too quiet.

This is not right.

From the emperor's previous action patterns, we can see that the emperor is very strong. Even if he does not gain the upper hand for a while, he will persist until he gains the upper hand.

Unless this time, all the royal literati groups, including Chen Lin, really rebel and the emperor is really betrayal of his relatives, how could the emperor not say a word?

This is wrong. How come the emperor could not find any supporter and betrayal to his relatives?

Even if scholars do not support it, will his relatives not support it?

Does the Cao family Xiahou family not support it?

Will the four major families who have just reached a marriage support?

Will the old officials support his confidants?

All betrayed?

Even those poor families?

No way?

As more and more scholars and officials felt that the situation was getting better and gave up forbearance and joined the resistance queue, some people's senses became worse and worse.

They always feel that something is about to happen.

They are becoming more and more worried and more afraid.

The keen political sense of being under Guo's political oppression for a long time tells them that something is wrong, it is very wrong.

Something must have been ignored.

However, they do not know what exactly is ignored by them.

In fact, let alone them, the high-ranking officials and nobles were actually wondering why the quarrels outside turned out like that, and the emperor still sat firmly on Diaoyutai without saying a word.

Cao Cao didn't know, Guo Jia didn't know, and Guo Peng's two most confidants didn't know why he was so calm.

The great connection between scholars has caused more than 50% of the officials in the court to go on strike.

Less than fifty percent of the remaining scholars and bureaucrats may also rebel at any time and are constantly rebeling.

After September, less than 10% of the scholars and bureaucrats who remained in the office work were still in the office.

In such a crisis, the emperor did not react at all.

There was no movement in the inner court.

The imperial guards did not move.

The guards outside the city did not move.

The emperor treated state affairs as usual. Faced with the doubts and requests of officials such as Cao Cao, he ignored them, as if he gave up struggling, as if he wanted to compete with the scholars who had lost the money.

Cao Cao once raised his concerns to Guo Peng at the Wu Chau.

"The news has not spread all over the country at present. Once it spreads all over the country, it will inevitably cause turmoil among local county magistrates and governors. At that time, people's hearts are unstable and the country will no longer be stable. I ask Your Majesty to immediately stop the actions of Tai students and officials and restore order! Even if it is to use some coercive means."

Cao Cao's butt was naturally sitting on Guo Peng's side. He was willing to help Guo Peng achieve his goal, but Guo Peng's motionless attitude made him worried.

Guo Peng just smiled.

"I will never be punished for words, and the forced melon is not sweet."

"But your Majesty, this is not..."
