After hearing the order, Commander Huang from the Nancheng Military and Horse Division immediately drew his sword and walked towards the people in front of him.
But as soon as he walked over, Commander Huang stepped back and asked the censor Ding Jilu: "Feng Xian, there are so many unruly people, if you anger them, will it cause a bigger incident?"
"waste!"
Ding Jilu scolded Commander Huang directly.
Commander Huang didn't pay attention. He just looked at the people rushing in front and swallowed his saliva. His legs began to move back involuntarily.
Zhu Yijun and the ruling ministers around him were also at the Daming Gate watching these people coming over.
All they saw was that one red wave after another seemed to drown the thousands of people kneeling in front of them.
"Please kill Wu, Zhao and other thieves!"
"Please kill Wu, Zhao and other thieves!"
"Please kill Wu, Zhao and other thieves!"
…
At this time, the people who came in shouted.
The sound got louder and louder.
At the same time, there were also some sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking.
Ding Jilu couldn't sit still in the sedan chair.
Ji Chonggong even got off his horse in a hurry.
Commander Huang also quickly sheathed his sword.
The people who knelt outside the Ming Dynasty gate and prayed for Wu, Zhao and others also looked over in surprise.
Soon, they were overwhelmed by the crowd and lost sight of each other for a while.
Ji Chonggong and Ding Culu quickly fled here.
It's just that Commander Huang didn't have time, because his position was too close to these people, so he had to be knocked down before he could turn around, and then he was stepped on a thousand times with left and right kicks.
The people who were still kneeling outside Daming Gate were also panicked at this time.
Many of them were squeezed into the dense crowd before they had time to escape, and continued to kneel tremblingly, unable to move.
many people.
At the Daming Gate, Zhu Yijun and the ruling ministers around him looked at the people coming.
For a moment, I felt that there were so many people that they seemed not to be moving, as if they suddenly appeared from the ground in an instant, like an immortal holding a splash of ink and dyeing Qiban Street black.
It makes people feel that the whole street is black and blue, but there are no people.
It was just the noisy shouts that reminded Zhu Yijun and the ruling ministers around him that there were indeed many people below.
Zhang Siwei's expression changed at this time, and he muttered: "Why is this happening suddenly?"
Shen Shixing, Liang Menglong and others still looked calm.
Pan Cheng and Yu Youding even smiled at each other.
"How many people are here?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked.
Liang Menglong came over and said:
"According to Moben's report from the Northern Governor Zeng Gongbao to the Privy Council, the total number is about one hundred thousand!"
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, they are all good households in Gyeonggi Province. They have not committed any theft, murder, or arson. They do not owe the court any taxes or dingyin. They have been trained by the local Baojia Rizheng and the regular soldiers of the Inspection Department. They will not do anything." There will be trouble, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the city when they enter Beijing."
Zhang Siwei looked at Liang Menglong and others in shock at this time.
Since the governor of Beizhi was asked to organize the people into a militia to assist the court in catching thieves and maintaining law and order, it was a military matter. Therefore, the Privy Council accepted this question book, and the cabinet, which no longer had the right to interfere with the military, did not know about it.
Of course, in fact, only the first assistant, Zhang Siwei, didn't know.
Several other cabinet ministers actually already knew.
"I'm relieved."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile and asked Zhang Siwei and other officials in power: "But are you relieved?"
After Zhu Yijun asked, he directly named Zhang Siwei: "Yuanfu, what are they shouting?"
"Telling to kill Wu, Zhao and other thieves!"
Zhang Siwei replied with a sarcastic smile.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked again: "Who are Wu, Zhao and other thieves?"
"Your Majesty, it should be people like Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian."
Zhang Siwei cupped his hands and replied.
Zhu Yijun pretended to be puzzled: "Didn't many people plead for them just now? Why is it the other way around now?"
"I'm afraid that just now is not the real public opinion, but someone deliberately organized it to confuse the public!"
Zhang Siwei knelt down as he spoke: "Chen Hutu almost misled Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
“I don’t know how many ministers have been misled.”
"go!"
"Call all the ministers who are working in the palace and Qianbu Corridor and stand along the city wall to see what the real public opinion is."
"In addition, bring Wu, Zhao and other prisoners as well!"
"Let them also see how the people view them."
Zhu Yijun suddenly issued a new order.
At this time, Ji Chonggong had just escaped and was about to enter through Xuanwu Gate. Bai Yiqing from Jinyiweinan Town Fusi stopped him: "I have given you an edict, and I will follow the instructions of Qianhu Ji Chonggong to meet the saint!"
Ji Chonggong was shocked after hearing this: "May I ask what it is?"
"You'll know once you go there."
Bai Yiqing replied.
So Ji Chonggong was taken to Daming Gate.
As soon as Ding Jilu escaped and returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Jin, the censor of Zuodu, and Wang Zongzai, the censor of Qiandu, stopped him: "How was the inspection in Nancheng?"
Ding Jilu Ze took a few deep breaths, then raised his hands and said: "I am about to ask the two magistrates for a dispatch to go to the local area. I also ask the two magistrates for permission. I promise, under my humble position, that I will never embarrass the courtyard after I go down." ! Even if the family members are lawless, they will be killed outright!"
Zhao Jin and Wang Zongzai looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Zongzai then said to Ding Cilü: "Don't worry! There will probably be an edict coming later, and it won't be too late to tell you after hearing the edict."
"Oracle?"
Ding Cilu collapsed to the ground after hearing this.
…
"You mean there is an oracle?"
Qipan Street, at a teahouse.
Li Sancai was watching a large number of people coming in with a sullen face, and when he arranged for himself to disappear without a trace, pretending to be a domestic slave who was begging the emperor for mercy, he learned from Gu Xiancheng that the emperor wanted officials from all ministries to go to the Ming Dynasty. The edict on the door.
"It's the Holy Order. Those who came just now are officials and subordinates. We have to go quickly."
Gu Xian became enlightened.
Li Zhi, who was also here, seemed not to have heard the conversation between Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng, but still looked at the people in coarse shorts outside and asked, "How did so many unruly people appear?"
"Don't you even think about it? It's obviously the fault of traitors!"
Gu Xiancheng said something, and then said in frustration: "We lost!"
Li Sancai also nodded and followed Gu Xiancheng out of the teahouse.
Li Zhi glanced at the people outside with disgust, and then left the teahouse.
An hour later.
On the Daming Gate.
The yellow sand dispersed, the sky gradually became clearer, and all the officials came here.
There was also Jinyiwei Qianhu Ji Chonggong, who was the first to arrive in front of the emperor.
After Zhu Yijun saw Ji Chonggong, he asked: "Why did you slap your subordinate just now?"
After hearing this, Ji Chonggong hurriedly knelt down and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, spare your life. I accepted the bribe. Ding Fengxian, the censor of Nancheng, told me yesterday that people will come to petition today and asked me to help stop the Jinyi guards from going." I don’t dare to let my subordinates know about driving these people away, so I will only come here today to stop them.”
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Siwei: "So, the people who came to kneel before to petition not to kill Wu, Zhao and others must also be organized by someone?"
】
"I guess so."
Zhang Siwei said with a sneer.
At this time, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Password to the censor Ding Jilu for patrolling the city!"
Not long after, Ding Jilu came to the imperial court.
Zhu Yijun asked Ji Chonggong to inform Ding Culu about his affairs, and asked: "The people who knelt down and begged me not to kill Wu, Zhao and others, what do you have to do with them?"
Ding Cilu glanced at Zhang Siwei, then hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it was Yuan Fu who ordered the envoy to do this!"
"nonsense!"
