"Let's not argue with you today. Let's go and go to the imperial city to find someone in the court to speak to."
The scholar holding the tablet of the Holy Master in his arms left a harsh word to the people in the courtyard, and then led a large group of scholars to the imperial palace in Nanjing city.
Many people on the street dispersed on their own when they saw that there was no excitement to be seen, but there were still some idle people who followed these scholars and rushed to the palace.
The officers and soldiers who were ordered to protect the courtyard of the envoys of the Tiger-Character Banner could finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
No matter how the process went, these troublesome scholars were gone.
He only cares about what these scholars do when they go to the palace. Even if these scholars demolish the palace, it has nothing to do with him.
As long as these scholars don't cause trouble under his nose, they can do whatever they like.
And what happened today also made him see that these scholars are not as righteous as they say, and they should be afraid of death.
Otherwise, he would not shrink back and give in when faced with a firecracker.
As for the few words these scholars left before they left, in his opinion, they were just harsh words left by children who lost in a fight. In fact, they were useless.
However, he also knew that this kind of ruthless tactics could only be used by the people of the Tiger Character Banner against these scholars. Unless they really dared to shoot people to death, these scholars would not be afraid at all.
The crowd on the street dispersed, and the people holding the tiger flag on the courtyard wall also retreated into the courtyard.
The officers and soldiers sent someone from the general department to report what happened here back to the barracks, and even decided in their hearts that they would give gifts to Shangguan when they got back, and ask Shangguan to replace him with someone else to protect the envoy of the Tiger-Character Flag. He would not come.
I was lucky enough to escape this time. Who can guarantee that I will have such good luck next time.
A gunman came to the room and informed Yang Jiachen that the troublemaking scholar had left.
"These scholars really want to be famous but are afraid of death!" Yang Jiachen said contemptuously.
So many scholars come to make trouble in the place where they live. Although there are promoters behind it, these scholars who come to make trouble are also people who want something.
Even if there are scholars who come with a public heart, they are definitely not many, at most a few.
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "There may be people in the world who are not afraid of death, but they are definitely not many. At least among the many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many who are really not afraid of death. Most of them are people who want something."
"If all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are like this, I don't think we need to worry. As the saying goes, it takes ten years for scholars to rebel, and if you expect these scholars to do anything, they won't be able to accomplish anything." Yang Jiachen looked down upon the scholars who made trouble this time.
When the scholar first came, he was quite prepared. He was prepared to kill several people. Who knew that in the end it would be such an anticlimactic result.
Hong Chengchou said: "It's not like there are no scholars who are not afraid of death. If we really kill a few people outside our door, even if we don't kill them, it will be a troublesome thing."
"Then you have to dare to die." Yang Jiachen curled his lips and said immediately, "As long as these scholars have some channels to obtain information, they will know that our Tiger Flag has been deliberately hacked. Only fools will let themselves. You just risk your life on such lies."
"Maybe!" Hong Chengchou neither denied nor admitted.
There are a few scholars who are not afraid of death. At least they cannot ignore death when they face it.
"By the way, those scholars who made trouble went to the palace. Shouldn't they go to the Crying Temple? Why didn't they go to the Crying Temple instead of the palace?" Yang Jiachen looked at Hong Chengchou in surprise.
Even a person like him who did not grow up seriously in the Central Plains knew about the tradition of scholars crying in temples.
Of course, this is also related to the time when scholars cried in the temple in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province.
The Tiger Character Banner has never been accustomed to this kind of behavior. After the suppression, they still have to find out the mastermind behind it. At the same time, they do not forget to send it to various places through Di Bao to let all the Tiger Character Flag officials in various places know about it.
It can also be regarded as a reminder to officials everywhere on how to deal with the behavior of crying temples, instead of coaxing these scholars like the Ming Dynasty.
"What's the use of the crying temple? We've taken care of the Confucius family in Qufu." Hong Chengchou said.
At this moment, he was afraid when he thought about the scholar's behavior of crying in the temple.
If he had acted weakly at that time, instead of choosing to suppress forcefully, but to appease those scholars, he might have completely lost the trust of the people above him in Tiger Character Banner.
Yang Jiachen thought about it and felt that it was right.
It was Saint Kong who cried in the crying temple. Now the Confucius family temple in Qufu has been converted into a school. If the crying temple really worked, Saint Kong would have pushed aside the coffin board and walked out of it.
"Do you want me to go to the palace and see the excitement?" Yang Jiachen said to Hong Chengchou.
He couldn't watch his own commotion. Now he had the opportunity to watch other people's commotion. He had nothing to do anyway. He really wanted to go over and have a look to see how these scholars would make trouble and satisfy his curiosity.
"I can tell you the final result without you having to go and see it in person." Hong Chengchou said as he sipped the tea.
Hearing this, Yang Jiachen's eyes widened and he asked curiously: "How could you possibly know that among the scholars who caused trouble, there was someone planted by you?"
"I don't have anyone to arrange it." Hong Chengchou said, "This is easy to analyze. Today's Ming Dynasty is in charge of five auxiliary ministers. Among them, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the civil service, is the weakest. Wei Guogong holds military power, and the eunuch Yang Guorui controls the imperial guards and the emperor, the two most powerful parties, and the palace is the territory of the great eunuch Yang Guorui. What do you think will happen to those scholars who go to the palace to cause trouble?"
"What's the end?" Yang Jiachen asked.
Hong Chengchou said: "Few of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty liked civil servants, let alone scholars. In particular, many scholars liked to scold eunuchs, and they were used to letting eunuchs take the blame when something happened. It can be said that the two sides "Xiang Yanhan, it would be better if the most effective person in the palace is the emperor, maybe he is a little afraid of those scholars, but eunuchs are only afraid of scholars, they are only afraid of those powerful civil servants."
"You mean, both sides will take action?" Yang Jiachen said hesitantly.
Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea and said: "As long as these scholars dare to go to the palace to make trouble, the eunuch will never show mercy. Just wait and see! There will be a lot of excitement."
"Then I have to go even more. If I don't go see such a lively thing with my own eyes, I'll regret it to death." Yang Jiachen said excitedly.
Daming himself staged a dog-eat-dog incident, and he was not willing to let go of the opportunity to watch the fun.
