Chapter 1931: Do it on purpose
The sky... is getting brighter.
After one night, only a broken piece of land was left in the capital. After the carnival dissipated, some of them were just bleak in the countless magnificent buildings covered with fog.
Those who were already exhausted realized at this moment what kind of mistakes they had made, but scholars were scholars after all, and they deeply understood the principle that the law did not blame the public. Moreover, judging from the fact that the factory guards did not show up, the consequences of the matter should not be too bad.
So someone said, "Go to the Meridian Gate, go to the Meridian Gate..."
This sound seemed to remind everyone, and countless people rushed to the gate of the Meridian Gate again. Thousands of people were pressing outside the gate, kneeling on the ground one by one. The guards looked at them expressionlessly, but did not prohibit them.
At this time, the eunuchs in the palace had already begun to summon people to the palace everywhere.
The ministers who were frightened all night were shocked. At the beginning, when the riot occurred, everyone's first reaction was that this must be Ye Chunqiu's trauma behind his back.
But soon, they rejected this idea because they knew very well that Ye Chunqiu could incite hundreds of people to cause trouble, but it was impossible to incite thousands of scholars to cause trouble. What's more, nearby prefectures and counties also made such a thing. Thinking about it, this is not just a simple act of inciting. This is a real spontaneous activity that swept the whole world and angered scholars.
After understanding this, everyone became lingering in fear.
Their perception of the so-called scholars is the same as Xia Yan. After living in the temple for a long time, they gradually began to lose their lives. Because the scholars they imagined were subordinates of saints, they would have to defend the famous religion.
But how could I know that this was the end result?
At this time, some people even began to be glad that they did not become such a successful person and did not learn from Xia Yan. Otherwise... the finger of today's scholars must have pointed at themselves.
All officials are not afraid of the palace, nor are they afraid of the chief minister of the cabinet, because if a minister wants to make progress, he must be pleased, but if a person does not have this mind, he can ignore it at all.
However, scholars, especially the long mouths of hundreds of thousands of scholars in the world, are most afraid of. Once thousands of people point out, they will be separated from their bodies and reputations and will never be restored.
Countless people got into the crane carriage with anxiety, but this time, they were very smart and did not enter the palace from the Meridian Gate. The Meridian Gate was too terrible. Who knew whether scholars were thinking about themselves? If something happened again, it would be over.
When everyone arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they found that Xia Yan was not dead, but there was no difference between him and he died. At this time, his face was bruised and swollen. I don’t know who made the move. Coughs came from the hall one after another, but they saw Xia Yan in ragged clothes kneeling in the hall, just choking speechlessly. This scene really made people feel sad.
Some people whispered, but some were a little more informed. Everyone just learned that a group of scholars rushed into the Xia family directly. Xia Yan was so shocked that he escaped from the Xia family, but under the escort of his family, he was still chased and beaten all the way, like a dog from a family. He finally ran to Di'anmen and was rescued by the patrolling guards. Last night, he slept on the ground under the imperial city for a whole night. As soon as the palace gate opened, he entered the palace.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the minister of the Ministry of Rites had come to this point, which was really...
If His Majesty had a stick with him, it would have been his luck. At least he seemed honest and bold, but now he was beaten by a scholar...
How should I say this? Should scholars die? Are scholars confused?
Who dares to say such words? This is a blow to a large number of people, which is opposite to hundreds of thousands of people. No matter what kind of official you are or whether you are a high-ranking minister, you will definitely not dare to say such words.
To put it bluntly, this time, I am afraid that if I beat you, it will be useless, but I will be ruined and become an endless laughing stock.
At this moment, the whispering voice finally stopped.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu, who was tall and straight, was wearing a python suit and entered the hall with his sword. Everyone was silent and looked towards Ye Chunqiu, but Ye Chunqiu slowly walked in with solemn face.
Your Majesty has not yet attended court, but the moment when His Highness, King Lu, appeared, everyone woke up.
Can you still not understand now?
I have to say that His Highness King Lu is really cruel. He first tasted the sweetness for scholars, but then he played hard to get. When he heard the words that His Highness King Lu said were nothing to say, everyone really thought that King Lu wanted to retreat, but who expected that this was obviously done on purpose.
But no one can blame him, because from the beginning to the end, Ye Chunqiu did nothing. In fact, it was just a failure to maintain the new system. But in the final analysis, Xia Yan was still trying to kill himself. He rushed to abolish the new system. Who could blame him?
This is a conspiracy.
Ye Chunqiu looked at himself and went to the hall. He glanced at Xia Yan. Seeing that the ministers were looking at him, he immediately said, "I have already learned about the matter. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen at the foot of the emperor. Xia's dear Minister of Rites, ah... The factory guards have reported the losses last night, and I have also known about it. It can be said that it is a heavy burden. Your Majesty is about to go to the hall and summon everyone to tell us about this. Now so many people have died and so many yamen have burned, even Xia's detention cannot survive. What should I say about this?"
Everyone was silent.
There was a silence in the hall. This time, who would dare to make a first bird again?
Everyone suddenly realized that they had made an extremely terrible wrong prediction. They thought they knew what the scholars were thinking, but they never thought it was completely the opposite. Now that the scholar has expressed their position, the people's sentiment is hot, what should we do?
Obviously it's just difficult to deal with.
When Xia Yan saw Ye Chunqiu coming, he was disheveled and his hair was like a beggar, but he glared at Ye Chunqiu fiercely. He knew that all this... was a conspiracy of this surname Ye.
Xia Yan felt that his heart was bleeding. He really hated Ye Chunqiu and wanted to tear this guy apart.
At this time, he saw Ye Chunqiu entering the hall like a grand general who returned in triumphant manner, and even said that words in a pretentious manner. He could no longer bear it and said angrily: "Ye Chunqiu, you...you are so despicable!"
As soon as he spoke, he heard a voice saying, "Oh? Who is despicable?"
