Seeing this, Fan Yuqing became more and more panicked.
He didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to leave Beijing.
He had lost all his loyal servants, not to mention.
Now, the dead soldiers sent by the powerful Donglin Party such as Miao Changqi were also repelled by the Jin Yiwei who suddenly had a stronger fighting will and a military attache who suddenly came out.
Therefore, Donglin civil servants like Miao Changqi had no choice but to use their noble status as Qingliu civil servants to take themselves out of the city in person, but they were all stopped by a third-grade civil servant named Xu Guangqi in front of them.
Moreover, this Xu Guangqi obviously has no dealings with the Donglin Party, and is even very powerful.
Fan Yuqing was completely desperate.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had forgotten to burn incense at a temple when he came to Beijing, which led to a series of unfavorable things happening.
But when he thought that Wang Huazhen was about to be detained, and that the Fan family of Shanxi merchants would also be harmed, he became even more anxious and impatient, so he couldn't help but ask Miao Changqi in a low voice: "Mr. Mu, what do you think we should do?"
Miao Changqi himself was also very depressed. He never thought that Xu Guangqi would be so hateful one day, so hateful that he wanted to kill him now.
But after all, Xu Guangqi was a civil servant, a dignified official of the Six Ministries, and a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Although Miao Changqi was a member of the Hanlin family and would be a reserve candidate for future ministers of the Ming Dynasty, his powers were limited after all.
Therefore, Miao Changqi really couldn't do anything to Xu Guangqi.
Therefore, Miao Changqi could only say forcefully: "Xu Zixian! Don't be arrogant. Miao doesn't believe it. Do you really dare to kill a scholar-official without permission?!"
"let's go!"
As he spoke, Miao Changqi really walked towards the door of You'anmen, and winked at Fan Yuqing, asking Fan Yuqing to leave first.
At the same time, Miao Changqi directly scolded Xu Guangqi's guards and the Jin Yiwei who were blocking you outside You'an Gate: "Get out of the way!"
At this time, Fan Yuqing, the Jin Yiwei and Xu Guangqi's guards hesitated, and then he really rushed to stand up and prepare to force his way out of the city.
But at this time, Xu Guangqi suddenly turned red, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a sword from Guo Hu's waist.
However, Xu Guangqi was a scholar after all, and Guo Hu's sword might require someone with great strength to pull it out, so Xu Guangqi couldn't pull it out for a while.
Seeing this, Guo Hu did not stop Xu Guangqi, and even took the initiative to shake the scabbard and lend Xu Guangqi his strength to pull out his sword.
When Xu Guangqi had already drawn his sword and slashed at Fan Yuqing, Guo Hu pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Xu Butang, the last general's sword!"
Xu Guangqi had already run over at this time. With his adrenaline soaring, his veins popped out. He gritted his teeth and cut off Fan Yuqing's right arm with a knife.
Blood even splashed directly onto Xu Guangqi's face.
"ah!"
Fan Yuqing had screamed and subconsciously touched his right shoulder, but when he turned around, he saw that his right arm was gone.
Fan Yuqing bared his teeth in pain and looked at Miao Changqi with some grievance and resentment.
Miao Changqi was also frightened at this time.
In addition, other Donglin civil servants behind Miao Changqi were also frightened.
No one thought that Xu Guangqi would really dare to use the knife.
Xu Guangqi actually did this because he had the courage to do it, and he was a little shocked by his behavior after doing it.
However, the abuse and ridicule that Miao Changqi and other Donglin Party officials used to criticize and ridicule people like Xu Guangqi who did not agree with Donglin's ideas did make officials like Xu Guangqi angry with Miao Changqi and these Donglin Party officials, so they couldn't hold it back today. burst out.
It has something to do with the fact that the eunuch party later attacked Donglin civil servants very harshly in history, and the Donglin civil servants themselves were too intolerant to civil servants from other parties.
Therefore, Xu Guangqi has been dissatisfied with these people for a long time.
After all, he was here to protect the emperor's life, what a great opportunity to vent his anger.
Xu Guangqi gritted his teeth and continued: "I will do what I say. Anyone who dares to resist the order will be killed without mercy!"
At this time, Xu Guangqi was already like a murderer.
Guo Hu, Qin Liangyu and other military ministers as well as the Jin Yiwei present were all shocked by the gentle and elegant minister they had seen in Tongzhou before.
Although civil servants like to emphasize superiority and inferiority in front of military officers, within the civil servants, because Yan Guan holds the power, the civil servants are very equal. Many officials do not take Shangguan seriously, let alone kneel down to see him. If they are right If the Shangguan is dissatisfied, he can even point his nose at him and scold him. After all, some of them dare to scold even the emperor.
Therefore, Liu Guojin, the head of the Ministry of War, did not immediately greet his superior officer Xu Guangqi when he first met him.
At this time, Liu Guojin was so frightened that he stood up and greeted Xu Guangqi: "The chief, Liu Guojin, has seen the department!"
Xu Guangqi was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Guojin, and only scolded Fan Yuqi, who was sweating profusely in pain and sitting on the ground: "If you don't leave here, are you really going to force me to kill you?!"
Fan Yuqi pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to cry. He looked back at Miao Changqi.
Seeing this, Miao Changqi had no choice but to help Fan Yuqi up and leave, but he still glared at Xu Guangqi.
"I'm resigning!"
Seeing this, Liu Guojin also hurriedly left here.
Xu Guangqi snorted and shouted: "Come back!"
Liu Guojin was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt in front of Xu Guangqi: "I wonder if there are any other orders from the department?"
"I spend the whole day hanging out with these young people, but the affairs of the ministry are delayed again and again. I have really forgotten my duties, but I still don't want to be an official? If you don't want to be an official, just go to the office and resign!"
Xu Guangqi taught Liu Guojin a lesson.
Liu Guojin didn't dare to argue with Xu Guangqi now. After all, the minister in front of him still held a bloody knife in his hand, so he had no choice but to reply: "What the minister taught me is that I will go back to the ministry to work!"
Seeing this, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but secretly sighed: "Since Zhang Juzheng's examination method has disappeared, these officials have become so lax. Each one is more domineering than the other, but the lazy government is more lazy than the other. They all say that the temple is lazy in government. These ministers are not much better! On the contrary, they are very diligent in learning the art of following Qingliu in order to be promoted to a high official in the future!"
Liu Guojin returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in despair.
Wu Mengming, a member of the Jinyi Guards family, came over, bowed to Xu Guangqi and said, "What happened today was fortunately thanks to the ministry's efforts to turn the tide. Otherwise, Wu Mengming, a member of the Jinyi Guards family, would not know what his crime was!"
Xu Guangqi responded with a salute: "Wu Qianhu doesn't have to be like this. Freezing doesn't last for a day. There are some things that you can't blame, so just let it go!"
Xu Guangqi had no intention of forming a party, so even though Wu Mengming reported his official name, Xu Guangqi only replied lightly.
Wu Mengming saw that Xu Guangqi had no intention of being his backer. Although he was disappointed, he also had more respect for Xu Guangqi. He still cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations!"
Xu Guangqi threw the knife to Guo Hu: "Old General Guo, your knife is very heavy. Xu's hand is weak."
Guo Hu burst out laughing: "My sword weighs a hundred pounds and cannot be lifted by anyone who is not loyal and brave. Xu Butang can lift it and slash it with ease. It shows that he is a man of both civil and military skills!"
Guo Hu's statement that his sword weighed a hundred pounds was naturally false, but his flattery for Xu Guangqi came from the bottom of his heart.
And Xu Guangqi also smiled faintly and said to Qin Liangyu: "General Qin's white-pole soldiers are indeed well-deserved. They don't change their expressions when they see the fierce horses charging into the formation. Such strong soldiers are really rare in the world. When the time comes, Xu will definitely The Emperor knows that your son, too, is very capable of crossing the country with a hundred steps."
