Cai Bixia mistakenly believed that today's scene was all Zaicheng's conspiracy, and that he was taking revenge on himself for arbitrarily increasing the price by two million taels! But she guessed wrong. The man behind today was only Weng Tonghe, the leader of Qingliu who was an absolutely loyal minister of Emperor Tongzhi!
Zaicheng would not be so unwise and use such a dirty trick, because he knew his master very well. Once this method is used, it will only be counterproductive. The head of state will not accept threats, especially will not accept moral kidnapping!
On the contrary, when Zai Chun learned the news, his first reaction was to rescue him. No matter how angry Zai Chun was just now, once he heard that his young and impulsive crush goddess was about to be insulted, he would immediately become furious!
"Fuck! Who did this? Who did this?" Emperor Tongzhi roared loudly as soon as he returned to Yangxin Hall. He pointed at Da Sixi, "Go! Let Ma Ming and others send troops immediately to send the special envoy Rescue him! If there is even a hair missing, they will be buried with him!"
Before the little emperor could finish his order, the guards outside the door rushed in, "Your Majesty... General Ma Ming has ordered two hundred new imperial troops and headed straight to Wangfujing Street to save people!"
"Okay, okay...he's smart! I'm so angry, who did this? Who did this?" Zai Chun sat on the throne and breathed heavily!
Xiao Sixi came over politely and said, "Your Majesty! I was the last to leave when I just came back. I brought some new tea from the imperial tea warehouse for Lord Long Live... I saw something strange!"
"Grandmaster Weng and his disciples... gathered together by the Jinshui River and whispered for a long time. Could it be that this matter..."
Zai Chun frowned when he heard this. It was really possible that he was the teacher. This technique really had the style of a literati!
"Damn it...this teacher is really causing trouble. How does he know the twists and turns in the arms trade?"
"Xiao Sixi, go find Master Weng! Tell him to take back his disciples and grandsons immediately. This matter can't be messed up. Let him come to see me immediately!"
Wave after wave of people ran out of the Yangxin Palace. Some went to find Ma Ming's new army, some went to find Weng Tonghe and his men, and some went to report the military situation to the Queen Mother!
After all, Cai Bixia is a woman. If she is really humiliated in this conflict, then the Queen Mother, as a woman, must immediately step in to comfort her!
Moreover, the Queen Mother is the mother of the world. Logically speaking, all the wives in the world are under her control. The new queen will only take over this right after Zai Chun gets married!
You must know that in ancient official families, especially aristocratic families, their women also had grades, and the top of these women's grades was the queen. The queen mother had the right to punish them and deprive them of their grade!
This is the person these troubled Eight Banners women are most afraid of. The Queen Mother does not need to go through the emperor or the court, let alone the Zongren Mansion, Zongzheng Mansion, Internal Affairs Mansion... A direct decree can deprive these married women of all their rights and wealth!
Zai Chun knew that as long as the queen mothers of the two palaces came out with their decrees, these women on the long street would be honest!
But everything was not as smooth as he thought. Xiao Sixi went to find the old man, but no one knew where he had gone after searching all over the Forbidden City. Later, the young eunuch in charge of the tea warehouse seemed to see Mr. Weng leaving the Donghua Gate!
When Xiao Sixi heard this, she was frightened and slapped her forehead, "Ouch! It's not Master Weng who just went into battle himself, right? He's so temperamental, how can this be so good!"
He really guessed it right. At this moment, the old man actually left the palace early and blocked Ma Ming's military formation!
To the east of Dong'an Gate, approaching the corner of T-shaped Street, the old man and a group of Hanlin and Imperial College students linked their arms to form two human walls, firmly blocking the path of the new imperial army!
Weng Tonghe yelled at Ma Ming, who was leading the team, "General Ma! Do you want to seize the bannermen? Do you want to destroy public opinion?"
"Listen carefully, this is the voice of our people of the Qing Dynasty, this is their unyielding will! They are expressing their anger towards Xiao Letian!"
"What's wrong with our Qing Dynasty? We can't defeat the foreign and Japanese devils in war, so now we can't even protest? Where do you want to take this country!"
Weng Tonghe's eyes were clenched in anger, he was spitting wildly, and his beard was waving in the wind... At this moment, he had transformed himself into Zhuge Liang, who was fighting with the Confucian scholars!
Ma Ming stamped his feet anxiously, "Where is this? Did I say we won't let people protest? Did we say we won't fight?"
"It is a rule not to kill envoys when the two countries are at war... How can you threaten the envoy? Mr. Cai is an important official of the Chinese ethnic group. If something unexpected happens, there will be a war!"
"If there's a war, let's start the war! We, the Qing Dynasty, have a population of hundreds of millions, and we are not afraid of Xiao Letian, a Japanese devil!" The clear streamers who formed the human wall shouted in unison!
The three treasures on the side also yelled, "Fart! You are the first to escape when the war begins! After the killing last night, did any of you come out to block the bullet? Why are you showing off your power now!"
"You're not fooling others into dying, you're inciting them from behind!"
"Then Sambo! You bastard...you are just a kid from the Eight Banners Hutong. What big principles do you know? When you go out and let the Japanese devils brainwash you, do you think you are the pillar of the country?"
"Bah... don't let us find out the disgusting things you did in the past! If the Qing Dynasty counts on you, it will perish!"
"Ouch! Damn it, it's a challenge! What does it have to do with how I peed in the mud before and now? Get out of the way! You can't handle it if something goes wrong!"
"Classmates! Stop these soldiers and let them step on our bodies!"
These scholars were also rubbing their noses and faces. When they saw the people around them who were watching the excitement clamoring for support, they became even more energetic and pushed forward one by one with their chests puffed out!
The New Army on Ma Ming's side is also a defensive weapon. From officers to soldiers, no one dares to be too deadly. After all, they are all scholars on the opposite side. According to Chinese tradition, these people are stars in the sky and have the right to speak. Once injured, If you find one, you will definitely be punished!
Even if he is not punished, he still cannot bear the spitting star of the people all over the world!
Weng Tonghe saw the cowardice of the new army. He was overjoyed and shouted, "Ma Ming! You don't have an imperial edict at all, right? You are leaving your post without permission!"
"Children! This Ma Ming has no orders from Long Live at all. He ran out on his own. Don't be afraid of him and block him!"
Ma Ming secretly complained in his heart. He had just ordered his troops to go out after hearing the news. He didn't have the imperial edict in hand at all, although he knew that Emperor Tongzhi would definitely give the order to save Cai Bixia!
But at this moment, if there is no imperial edict in hand, there is no such thing. The flaws of these Qingliu faults are really impossible to fix!
At this moment, Da Sixi's decree has just arrived at Donghua Gate. It will take at least seven or eight minutes to get here, and the shouts of killing have already been heard in waves from Wangfujing Street opposite!
"Take her off...take her off..." The new army's heart beat loudly in shock as he howled like a wild beast!
It's broken. Mr. Cai can't stand it for four or five minutes!
"Brothers, squeeze past me! If anything happens, I'll take care of you!" Ma Ming rushed towards the old man.
