Especially after Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister of the cabinet and implemented the examination law, the power of civilian officials reached its peak, and a comprehensive suppression of military attachés was formed! Even when Qi Jiguang, the pillar of the country, wrote to Zhang Juzheng, he would add the words "lackey", which shows the great power of civil servants!
With comprehensive psychological advantages, these civil servants have always looked down on the military attachés! But now, a mere hundred households looked at him with mocking expressions! You know, in the past, people with the official position of Baihu would bow to him when they met him, but he might not be willing to raise his eyebrows! So the scene before him almost made him lose his mind!
But Hou Fangtai still has some skills in cultivating Qi! He coughed to relieve the tension in his chest and said loudly: "Father Liu believes that Mr. Lu can definitely handle this matter, so he won't ask any more questions. But Father Liu has another question that he would like to ask. Is that okay?" "
Lu Hongwei shook his head decisively and said: "No! I am busy with official duties and have no time to answer your questions! If it weren't for someone gathering to make trouble today, I would still be handling official duties in the Yamen! Now the question raised by the boss has been clearly explained. Please come back!"
Hou Fangtai was teased again and again by Lu Hongwei, and finally got very angry! He said loudly: "You Jin Yiwei arrested many officials in the city, and almost all of them were arrested! It made the people shocked and the gentry panicked. Isn't it possible that I still can't ask?"
Lu Hongwei put his hands behind his back and said, "Of course you can't ask! If you think it's ultra vires to ask as an official, you already can't ask! Now that you are an official at home, you are not an official at all. What status do you use to ask the official? Doing something? I am here to warn you not to make trouble again, otherwise something will be revealed and everyone will look bad!"
After Lu Hongwei finished speaking, he deliberately raised his chin to the strong class archer, which meant to tell Hou Fangtai that I don't know about the fact that you bribed these people to cause trouble for me! Don't think that you can escape if a strong leader dies, there are still about ten leaders, big and small, there! If I torture them, I won't get any confessions!
But Hou Fangtai doesn't care about this at all! On the one hand, they gentry did send people to send messages and money to bribe them, but even if Lu Hongwei got a confession, it was only a one-sided confession and no evidence at all! On the other hand, they are just ordinary people, so what if they die?
So Hou Fangtai sneered and said: "Sir Lu, you have such great official power! But you can't scare me! I'm not afraid of investigation if I'm an honest man and do things with integrity. I'm afraid there are some things about you Jin Yiwei that can't withstand investigation!" "
Lu Hongwei's face suddenly changed color when he heard this! The hands behind his back also dropped to his sides, and even his fists were clenched! I just heard him say loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Jin Yiwei are only responsible for His Majesty's work. There is no need for you to tell us what to do!"
When Hou Fangtai saw this, he knew that he had hit the Jin Yiwei's pain point. He felt proud and said loudly: "Of course your Majesty is not wrong! But you are the sycophants and vulgar warriors who only know how to deceive your Majesty! God knows. What things have you done behind His Majesty's back to disregard human lives, call deer a horse, and confuse right and wrong? You have captured almost all the officials in this city in such a short period of time. Do you dare to say that there is no frame-up or anything like that? matter?"
It doesn't matter what Hou Fangtai said, the gentry behind him immediately echoed loudly! Moreover, these gentry were all well-read poetry and books, and were especially familiar with the history of this dynasty. They immediately listed out loud one after another what Jin Yiwei had done in history!
The Jinyiwei have always been a thorn in the side of civil servants, so they naturally watch them closely! You can spot whatever they do! In addition, whenever the Jinyiwei activities are at their peak, they are deeply trusted by the emperor, so they inevitably act domineeringly, without any scruples, and they don't even bother to cover up. Naturally, they will grab a lot of pigtails!
Now that these people are pointing out the facts one by one, it makes the people who are watching feel that Jinyiwei is simply a yamen doing random things, an organization that specializes in persecuting Zhongliang! Moreover, Jinyiwei is too far away from ordinary people and is not as influential as the local gentry!
The common people have been listening to the arrangements of the gentry for a long time, and they have long been unconvinced by them.
Come on! Now that they came forward to enumerate the shortcomings of Jin Yiwei, they naturally believed it immediately!
When they heard that Jin Yiwei had this style, they immediately started making noises! Coupled with the fact that many people in the crowd were deliberately trying to guide him, the voices opposing Jin Yiwei naturally became louder and louder, one after another, as if they were trying to turn the accelerator off!
And those strong archers who maintained the order of the people also took the opportunity to pretend to be intimidated by the people and began to retreat step by step! Instead, it allowed those common people to approach the yamen gate, which made their momentum become bigger and bigger!
Seeing this scene, Lu Hongwei was so angry that he was shaking all over! The other Jin Yiwei also changed their expressions, and some captains even drew their knives directly! Seeing Jin Yiwei drawing his sword, the common people remembered that these people were officials of the imperial court and they could not afford to offend them. If they were hacked to death, they would probably die in vain, so they became quiet!
But how could Hou Fangtai and others let go of such a good opportunity? This group of gentry collectively took a few steps forward and approached Jin Yiwei. Hou Fangtai even said loudly: "What? You want to scare me with a knife? I tell you, you can't scare me. If you don't believe me, just kill us! You must know that there are as many righteous people in the world as there are people crossing the river. Crucian carp, how can a mere Jin Yiwei of yours kill them all!"
Hearing these righteous words, the people shouted again like a landslide and tsunami! The crowd was pushed forward again for a certain distance!
As soon as their movements stopped, Lu Hongwei pointed at Hou Fangtai angrily and said, "Don't forget that you are no longer officials, you are ordinary people now! You are inciting people to attack the government. This is all about beheading and confiscating homes. The crime!"
Hou Fangtai smiled proudly when he heard this and said: "So what? As long as justice can be done and the Ming Dynasty can be restored, I will die without fear! Maybe after I die, everyone in the world will praise our name!"
Hou Fangtai's righteous words greatly inspired the gentry and scholars behind him! They all expressed their support for Hou Fangtai and strode forward with their chests against Jin Yiwei's! And the Jin Yiwei couldn't really kill him, so they forced him to retreat step by step, until he retreated to the steps of the governor's Yamen before he could steady his steps!
